Huang Dan heard this and immediately spoke.
“I’m telling you, prices may go up again.”
"No way, Brother Huang, you are kidding, the price is already very high now."
Everyone was also stunned and said with some disbelief.
"Why would I lie to you? I'm telling you the truth. According to the information I received, many transportation routes in the Red League have problems, and now the cost of transporting materials has skyrocketed. And this is not the worst. The worst thing is that I heard that several large production bases have problems and all the crops have died. Do you think that prices will not rise under such circumstances?"
Huang Su lowered his voice and spoke to everyone.
"How can we live like this? Our wages haven't increased, but the prices of materials are rising."
Many brothers and sisters present complained with sad faces.
Cao Kun thought for a while and then spoke to everyone.
"It's not a big deal if prices go up. For now, just tighten your belt and stock up. We can still hold on. The Red Alliance will come up with a solution sooner or later. What we should really worry about is the disappearances."
"The missing person? Brother Cao, do you know about this?"
Huang Dan and others heard Cao Kun talking about this matter and asked nervously.
Shen Qiu's eyes also moved slightly, and he listened attentively!
"I know a little bit. Logically, this is all confidential information and I shouldn't tell you here. But I still feel it's necessary to reveal a little to you. Please pay attention."
Cao Kun said in a low voice.
"You said we wouldn't spread it."
The brothers and sisters present said this one after another.
"In fact, those missing people are not really missing. They went to special areas, which are very dangerous. If they are lucky, they can come back alive, but if they are unlucky, they will never come back. This kind of weird things are likely to happen at night, so don't run around at night. In addition, everyone does not need to panic. The Red Alliance has set up a new KPI department. If you encounter any danger or weird things, call this department as soon as possible, and you may get help."
Cao Kun said to everyone.
"Ah, so the rumors are true."
“It’s terrible.”
…
Huang Dan noticed Shen Qiu who was silent at this time and spoke.
"Shen Qiu, why don't you chat?"
"No, I was just listening to you guys talking."
Shen Qiu took a bite of the steamed bun and replied.
"Why are you so depressed? What kind of job do you have now?"
Huang Dan asked about Shen Qiu.
"Um, still looking for a job."
Shen Qiu thought for a moment and said.
"Is it because of that illness that you still can't find a job? Why don't you come drive for me? Although the salary isn't high, it's stable. I'll think of a way to help you with the case later."
Cao Kun extended an invitation to Shen Qiu with great sincerity.
"It's too troublesome. Why don't you just come to my company? We're brothers, how can I treat you unfairly? If nothing else, I'll pay you 15,000 a month! And you can eat whatever I eat!"
Huang Dan said very generously.
"No, I'm fine now, and I have some savings."
Shen Qiu rejected their kindness. What he was worried about now was not his work, but he was worried about being dragged into those ghost places again.
"All right."
Huang Dan and the other man did not continue to force it.
An hour later, Shen Qiu and others finished their lunch, and some brothers and sisters said goodbye and left because they had things to do at home.
Shen Qiu, Zhao Lian, Huang Dan and others went to see Dean Zhao Anyuan to reminisce about the past and see if there was anything they could do to help.
They were walking in the welfare home and soon saw Director Zhao Anyuan in the nursery.
She was seen changing the baby's diaper and feeding him.
"Dean An Yuan, come on, you go and have a meal."
…
When Zhao Lian and others saw this, they walked forward.
"I've eaten. Did you guys eat well?"
Zhao Anyuan said with a smile.
"fine."
Cao Kun and others nodded.
Shen Qiu glanced at the nursery, which housed at least a hundred infants and young children. Some of them were still hanging from medicine bottles, and judging from the scale, the number of children accommodated here exceeded the standard.
"Why are they accepting so many? Aren't there any vacancies in other welfare institutions?"
Zhao Anyuan turned and said to Shen Qiu with a smile.
"These infants and young children all have congenital diseases, and other welfare homes are unwilling to accept them. We can't just sit there and watch them. To be honest, when I look at them, it's like seeing you back then."
"I know. They told me at the beginning that they turned him down at several welfare institutions and finally sent him to you."
Shen Qiu replied while helping to change the diaper.
"So many years have passed, and you have grown up. And these newborns, I think they are not defective, they are also qualified to witness this world."
Zhao Anyuan looked at these children, her eyes full of anticipation.
When everyone heard what Zhao Anyuan said, they were also silent.
Zhao Anyuan continued, "When people get old, they always feel sad. Tell me about your experiences over the years."
"There's nothing much to talk about. After I got out, I went to a sales company and worked like a slave for others to accumulate initial capital and experience."
Huang Dan scratched his head and said lightly.
"You've suffered a lot these years, but you should still take care of your health. Look at your bloated belly."
Zhao Anyuan gently touched Huang Dan's head.
"clear."
Huang Su's eyes were also slightly red.
Zhao Anyuan turned her head and looked at Cao Kun.
"How about you, is everything going well?"
"The first few years were tough, especially when I was taking the civil service exam. I failed over and over again, but I got through it and now I'm doing fine."
…
"Shen Qiu, what about you?"
"I'm fine, running around."
Shen Qiu replied calmly. He didn't dare to say that after graduation, he was courting death for money.
Zhao Lian on the side hesitated and spoke.
"Shen Qiu, it seems like you haven't updated your account on the Haiyin platform for a long time. Are you busy recently?"
Shen Qiu was also very surprised when he heard what Zhao Lian said. He didn't expect that Zhao Lian actually paid attention to him.
"Well, I've been busy lately."
"Hey, Zhao Lian, that's great! We didn't even know Shen Qiu's Haiyin account, but you know it!"
Huang Suan said with a smile.
Zhao Lian's cheeks turned slightly red and she quickly explained.
"It happens that I come across it occasionally."
"Coincidentally, we understand, haha!"
…
Everyone chatted while helping Dean Zhao Anyuan.
In this way, time passed by unknowingly.
After everyone finished their work, they found that it was getting dark outside the window.
Cao Kun glanced at his watch and said.
"Dean An Yuan, it's getting late. We should go back."
Shen Qiu and others also followed suit.
"It's almost time for us to go."
Dean Zhao Anyuan looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already past five, so she spoke to Shen Qiu and the others.
"It's getting dark, and the outside world is not peaceful these days. If you go back now, you might run into danger. Why don't you rest here for a night and leave tomorrow morning?"
"That's not good. Will it cause trouble for you?"
Shen Qiu asked after a moment of hesitation.
"It's okay! You can still sleep in your own room."
Zhao Anyuan replied with a smile.
