Assistant He felt that the woman was going overboard so he wanted to say something. Ming Shu stopped him.
She asked someone to bring a chair, some biscuits, and some tea for her.
She sat on the chair and watched the woman scream calmly.
The woman shouted for a long time but received no reaction from Ming Shu. She looked up.
She saw the person opposite her drinking tea and eating biscuits.
The woman: “...”
“Are you done with your acting?” Ming Shu asked. “If not, continue.”
The woman: “...”
This is not the right reaction!
The other party was too composed. The woman didn’t know what to do. Her friends were also stunned.
In the end, the woman just sat on the floor and started scolding Ming Shu.
Ming Shu ignored her and continued enjoying her biscuits.
If anyone wanted to join the woman, she would ask the workers to stop them.
The woman’s throat was hoarse from shouting, but Ming Shu still didn’t do anything.
The composed manner made the woman lose her confidence.
“Are you done?”
The woman’s cheap makeup was a mess.
Ming Shu looked at her and slowly opened her mouth. “Du Ji doesn’t accept people under the age of 18. If you go outside, no one cares about this. Do you think that this rule is set by the government?”
There would be no side effects if a person’s lifespan got taken away.
The lifespan was like a bunch of numbers. It would increase and decrease. The only effect it had was on when a person would die.
The woman turned silent. The speech she had prepared seemed useless now.
Ming Shu continued, “You all choose to sell your lifespans so that you can get more money. You can’t blame anyone. No one will compensate you if you regret your decision.”
“You all are bandits!” the woman screamed fiercely.
“Bandits?” Ming Shu smiled. “What did I take from you?”
“It’s against the law to buy and sell lifespans. If you all are not bandits, what are you? I will report you!”
The woman suddenly threatened Ming Shu.
“Oh, go ahead then.” Ming Shu smiled. “First, you need to apply to enter the wealthy district. You must pay a security deposit. Then, you have to find a place to lodge your complaint. After writing the complaint form, you will wait for... erm, approximately half a month before receiving a reply...”
Ming Shu was speaking at a slow pace. With every sentence she said, the woman and her friends’ expressions turned worse.
This was how the wealthy district discriminated against the poor district.
The people in the wealthy district didn’t need to go through such procedures.
“In the end, you will be sent back. They... will not care about what happened here.”
The woman: “...”
At this moment, Assistant He passed his cellphone to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu looked at the content.
The woman was called Sun Huahua. Her daughter was drawn to life in the wealthy district so she came to Du Ji to sell her lifespan. She wanted to go to the wealthy district.
However, before she could realize her dream, she was robbed. Currently, she was in the hospital.
When a person got heavily injured, his lifespan would decrease exponentially.
Thus, Sun Huahua remembered the lifespan her daughter sold.
Her daughter was a decisive person. She sold half of her lifespan.
If she was able to take the lifespan back, her daughter could live longer.
This was why she came.
...
Ming Shu watched as the woman and her friends got chased away.
Assistant He looked at the lady sitting in the main hall.
Her Young Miss was getting good at handling issues.
She ignored everything the woman said just now and only asked him to investigate the daughter.
“Young Miss, you need to be present for a transaction today.
Assistant He saw that Ming Shu wanted to leave so he called her immediately.
“Oh...” Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “What transaction?”
Since she needed to be present, it must be a special transaction.
The transaction would take place at 3 PM in the wealthy district.
The two districts were separated clearly so if anyone from the poor district wanted to enter the wealthy district, they needed to send an application first. Most of the time, their application would be rejected.
However, there were businessmen who needed to travel between the two districts so they had a special passageway.
This passageway was built specifically for businessmen.
The Host belonged to this category.
The government knew what Du Ji was doing. The wealthy district didn’t allow such things officially because they wanted to keep themselves clean.
But, who wanted to die?
Hence, the government didn’t give them any restrictions.
Ming Shu entered the wealthy district easily.
When the car passed through the special passageway, the scenery around her changed immediately. The roads were wide and she could see luxurious cars and beautiful ladies everywhere. The streets were filled with shops selling all kinds of goods. Anything could be found here.
The car stopped outside a villa.
Ming Shu got down. A few bodyguards walked toward them and brought them to a room.
“What is the meaning of this?”
The bodyguards answered her directly, “Miss Jiang Xue, disinfection.”
“Disinfection?” Ming Shu smiled. “Am I a virus? I’m not doing this business anymore. Assistant He, let’s go for a meal.”
She turned and left. The bodyguards were stunned.
Assistant He was stunned too. However, he also felt that the buyers went overboard this time. Last time, the buyers looked down on them too, but no one dared to offend Young Miss.
This time...
It made people angry just thinking about it.
Thus, when Ming Shu left, Assistant He didn’t stop her. They didn’t lack business.
Just as they were about to get in their car, a butler ran toward them.
“Miss Jiang Xue, please hold on.” The butler was polite. “Those servants don’t know their manners. Please let me apologize for them. This way, please. Master prepared dinner for you.”
Dinner...
...
The owner of the villa was called Zhu Hongjie. He had reached the age of 40.
He was dressed casually and was quite plump. However, his face seemed pale.
“Miss Jiang Xue, have a seat.”
Zhu Hongjie signaled to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu didn’t move. She looked around her. “Where is the food?”
Zhu Hongjie was stunned. He smiled and stood up. “I am not thoughtful enough. Miss Jiang Xue, this way, please. Ask the chef to start preparing everything.”
The last sentence was directed at the butler.
The meeting venue was changed to the dining hall. The chef prepared the food on the spot.
Zhu Hongjie exclaimed, “Miss Jiang Xue is young and promising. You have my respect.”
“What is the use of being respected. I needed to be disinfected too.”
Ming Shu’s tone was calm. Zhu Hongjie couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
Zhu Hongjie’s expression froze for a moment. “I’m sorry about that. They are just worried about my health. They are afraid that...”
“Afraid that I will pass a virus from the poor district to you?”
To these wealthy people, the people from the poor district were like a virus. They were afraid that they would be contaminated after interacting with anyone from the poor district.
Zhu Hongjie: “...”
He was the buyer. Was this how she treated a customer?
Even if she was the boss of Du Ji, she was too arrogant.
Zhu Hongjie thought about what he needed from her and suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Luckily, the chef finished making the steak. He placed it in front of Ming Shu and the tense atmosphere was broken.
