Chapter 126 - Incapable of Helping

 Chen Lingyu continued, "I'll help you manage the neighborhood with a scientific management style. If this model is good, it can even be expanded to other places."

 "It's the end times now, and all the various systems of the world are in disarray. Even if we establish a kingdom, it won't be a problem!"

 "You will be the king of this, and I will assist you. What do you think?"

 Zhang Yi just smiled.

 At least he had graduated from Tianhai University of Technology and had five years of social experience.

 It wasn't so bad that he would be fooled by a woman who was engaged in a pyramid scheme in a few words.

 "Not interested."

 Zhang Yi dropped these three words coldly, not intending to continue discussing this topic.

 "But ..."

 Chen Lingyu anxiously wanted to continue persuading her, when she saw Zhang Yi waving his hand at her.

 "There's no need to say anymore, really don't know each other well and don't want to listen to you talk about that."

 Zhang Yi's firm eyes caused Chen Lingyu's face to darken, and she took two steps backward as if she had lost her strength.

 It must be that after last night's battle, this woman was also scared.

 Instead of looking for Zhang Yi's cooperation, she had come to seek Zhang Yi's protection.

 But who was she?

 Not even pretty looking, a bit old, no residual value at all, Zhang Yi had no reason to protect her.

 Chen Lingyu said miserably, "If we continue like this, maybe one day we will die too."

 Zhang Yi glanced at her and emphasized, "You remove that word 'we'."

 You guys will die, but I, Zhang Yi, will not!

 Chen Lingyu shook her head helplessly.

 Zhang Yi looked at this woman who was barely a strong woman and asked curiously, "You're a woman, it's hard for you to hold on alone in the middle of the end times. What, you don't have a husband?"

 Chen Lingyu shook her head with a bitter smile, "Split up long ago."

 "Oh, a loner!"

 Chen Lingyu shook her head, "Not really, I still have a daughter. She's been studying abroad in the Great Rice Country since she was ten years old, attending an aristocratic school."

 When she spoke of her daughter, Chen Lingyu's eyes clearly brightened.

 "I don't need to rely on a man for my life, after the divorce, I brought up my child by myself, and from the beginning of scrubbing people's dishes and working as an apprentice in a beauty store, I have come step by step to become the president of a quasi-public company today!"

 "I'm no worse than any man! Zhang Yi, if you don't cooperate with me for this reason, it will definitely be your loss!"

 Chen Lingyu still tried to make a last-ditch effort.

 Zhang Yi touched his nose and said slowly, "Normally then, only a hand of a group nature business can be called a president. A small company owner like you can only be called a general manager."

 Chen Lingyu's face immediately revealed an embarrassed look.

 "This ... isn't said that way either. There's no one who stipulates that the president can only be the owner of a group!"

 Zhang Yi was somewhat speechless.

 It looked like Chen Lingyu's cultural level did not exceed middle school.

 The group only had the word shareholders, and the president was only a post setting.

 What kind of entrepreneur is she pretending to be if she can't even understand this basic corporate position!

 "It's fine then, go ahead and get busy!"

 Zhang Yi bypassed Chen Lingyu, not wanting to continue to wrangle with this woman who was engaged in marketing.

 However, as he gazed into the distance, he saw a scene that made him quite surprised.

 18#, that is, the Harmony Home managed by Li Jian, the scene presented at this moment was completely different from the other unit buildings.

 Li Jian wrapped in a thick black down jacket, is working hard to lead the shoveling of snow.

 He is short, from a distance look unobtrusive, but I do not know why, Zhang Yi always feel that this person has a toughness.

 In front of the 18# door, all the people were working in an orderly manner.

 After ten minutes of work, everyone had to take a rest, and then a new person would come and take over the work.

 Zhang Yi's heart was greatly touched.

 This kind of scene was something he had never dared to think about in the end of the world.

 Zhang Yi couldn't help but walk over and stood not far from Li Jian quietly watching them work.

 Soon, Li Jian noticed Zhang Yi.

 He raised his head, the dark shadows of his eyes were very obvious, and his entire person had lost a circle of weight.

 "Zhang Yi? Why did you come over?"

 Zhang Yi did not answer this question of his and just glanced at the 18# people.

 Although they had vegetable-colored faces, there was a hint of light among their eyes.

 Unlike the people in the other blocks of flats, they had become completely numb and were living like walking corpses.

 Zhang Yi was somewhat relieved and curious as he asked Li Jian, "How did you do it?"

 Li Jian asked, "What how did you do it?"

 Zhang Yi said, "The other unit buildings are already fighting fiercely because of the distribution of food. But looking inside your unit building, no such situation has happened."

 "I'm curious, did you use some method to hide the news?"

 A look of pride appeared on Jian Li's face.

 Although he was not tall, he still tried to puff out his chest and said to Zhang Yi, "I did not conceal any information at all! From the very beginning, I told everyone in our building about the outcome of the negotiations."

 This result was out of Zhang Yi's expectation.

 He was surprised that if Jian Li dared to do this, wasn't he afraid of internal unrest within the unit building?

 "Then, it's clear that with only ten servings of food, it's impossible for all of you to survive. But why don't they revolt?"

 Li Jian seemed to have guessed that Zhang Yi would have such a question.

 He said incomparably calmly, "All of us in this building do not wish to turn into beasts. So if there are ten portions of rice, we'll eat them equally; if there's one portion of rice, we'll eat it equally divided."

 Zhang Yi snorted and said teasingly with his arms wrapped around him, "But the result of this will only end up with all of you dying! Not a single person will survive."

 "You think you're smart, but in reality, you've made the most foolish choice!"

 Li Jian instantly fell into silence, not knowing how to answer Zhang Yi's question for a long time.

 It was because he himself understood that what Zhang Yi had said was right.

 Between human nature and animal nature, it was obvious that the latter was more suitable to survive in a harsh environment.

 Zhang Yi shook his head, not intending to continue dwelling on the issue here.

 The reason why he had come over was purely due to curiosity. But he had no interest in caring about the death or life of these people.

 Seeing that Zhang Yi was about to leave, Jian Li hurriedly shouted, ''Zhang Yi, wait a minute! Can you ... you help us?"

 "Sorry, there is no such possibility!"

 Zhang Yi replied very dryly, without the slightest bit of room for negotiation.

 He looked condescendingly at the short middle-aged man in front of him and said indifferently, "With your ability, you can completely pull together a group of people who have the best hope of surviving, divide the benefits, and then make sure that you can live a good life in the midst of the end times."

 "But you look ahead and want everything. Yet you don't have the ability to protect everyone, and you're committing a crime by doing so!"

 "You chose the road yourself, so you'll go on by yourself!"
