After walking out of the pet clinic, Chu Xiu touched Black Bean.

After taking a shower, Black Bean's fur felt very smooth.

Furthermore, Chu Xiu also sensed that Black Bean's body under the fur was filled with hard muscles.

"Let's go. I'll buy you a feast. It looks like you were born different."

Chu Xiu happily placed the Black Bean into the car, and drove straight back to the villa.

Now, he understood why Black Bean had become a king-grade corpse beast in the apocalypse.

Before the mutation, the other party had something different about it. The point was that it had the aptitude of a king.

After returning to the villa, Chu Xiu took out the pork ribs from the refrigerator, and planned to reward Black Bean.

Looking at Chu Xiu, who was busy in the kitchen, Black Bean's eyes flickered.

In its opinion, it, which had originally planned to wait for death, had actually met such a good master.

Not only did the other party not despise it—even the female bath worker had also despised it when cleaning it just now—Chu Xiu was willing to let it sit beside him. He even made delicious food for it when he returned home.

This made it feel that it was great to have such a master.

After making the ribs, Chu Xiu picked up a large plate, and placed it on the ground.

"Woof!" Black Bean did not eat it immediately. Instead, it looked at Chu Xiu.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiu immediately understood, smiled, and said, "Good boy, eat."

After hearing its master's order, Black Bean immediately wagged its tail and ate in big mouthfuls.

Chu Xiu touched its black furry head, and knew that the other party had already acknowledged him as its master.

Ding, ding, ding.

At this moment, Chu Xiu heard a message from his phone.

He took out his phone, and saw that it was a message from the previous person in charge of the safe house.

"Mr. Chu, the villa you entrusted to us has been modified. The safe house can be completed tomorrow.

If you please, do you have time to come and check tomorrow? I'm very sorry if I disturbed you."

Seeing the contents of the message, Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the other party to do things so quickly.

"Sure, I'll go and check it tomorrow."

"Alright, Mr. Chu. I won't disturb you anymore. Please continue to rest."

After closing the chat box, Chu Xiu saw some messages pop up on the screen.

"Shocking. It's suspected that the Dragon Cauldron Group has changed owners!"

"There's a secret message from the Dragon Cauldron Group. The ownership of the group is suspected to have changed hands!"

When he saw the news about him in the headlines, Chu Xiu instantly understood whose handiwork it was.

'Tsk, tsk, you really can't wait a day. It hasn't been long since the transaction, and you can't help it.

'I really anticipate it. When the time comes and you see the apocalypse happen, what will your expressions be?'

Chu Xiu recalled that before he had been reborn, he really hadn't seen the other party in the apocalypse initially.

When he had met them, they had all been in a sorry state, sucking up to and being at the beck and call of a girl.

'Oh, right. I haven't seen how our little Chen Li is doing.'

Chu Xiu thought of the things he had arranged for his subordinates to do previously.

Looking at his subordinate's report, Chu Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that Black Bean had finished eating the next moment, Chu Xiu took it for a walk in the villa.

The villa was too big. Just walking through the entire villa would take half an hour.

On the other side, Chen Li was smoking with a worried expression.

At this moment, there were cigarette butts everywhere on the ground. They were all his.

He could not understand what had happened today.

Why did such a huge problem suddenly appear in the deal he had made previously?

Moreover, this problem actually implicated him, forcing him to make up for the losses as soon as possible.

If he didn't do this, everything he had would instantly disappear.

Moreover, on the way home to drive, he was beaten up by a man.

The other party said that Chen Li had slept with his wife, but Chen Li didn't even know the other party.

When

mediators

finally arrived, he realized that the other party's wife was much older than him. 𝓯𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝒃𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After that, the other party said that he had the wrong person and asked him to relax. This matter was over.

When had he ever suffered such injustice? Just as he was about to pursue the other party's responsibility,

an old man came out of nowhere, and hit his car with his three-wheeled motorcycle.

Then, he even slandered him as the guilty party. Then, a mediator came to mediate this matter.

In the end, the mediator actually asked him to compensate 5,000 yuan for letting this matter go.

Chen Li was a little dumbfounded. He did not understand whom this mediator was mediating for.

However, when he saw the old man's expression, Chen Li gritted his teeth and agreed to compromise.

However, this was not the end. When he returned home, his parking spot was occupied by someone, and it wasn't easy to deal with even with a phone call.

He had no choice but to stop at the side for the time being and go home.

Then, as soon as he returned home, he received a complaint from his neighbor that his toilet had exploded.

The entire house was filled with disgusting things. It was completely uninhabitable!

Chen Li was dumbfounded. He had no choice but to call a processing company to deal with it.

In the end, after going through much difficulty, he received a call from the bank that he needed to repay his previous loan in time.

He questioned the other party about the expiration. In the end, the other party answered that the bank was worried about his repayment ability because of his previous losses. This made him have no choice but to patiently persuade them to delay it.

At this moment, Chen Li looked at the mess in the room and took a deep puff of his cigarette. When he smelled the unpleasant smell, he felt that the entire world was targeting him.

He could not understand how so many things could happen in just one day!

Chen Li, who was deeply puzzled and exhausted, fell asleep on his bed in the stench!

There were still three days before the apocalypse.

In the morning, the red clouds in the sky were still there. The surrounding people had long been used to this situation.

Chu Xiu, on the other hand, finished his breakfast and drove away with Black Bean.

This time, he was not driving a red sports car. Instead, he was driving a black armored car.

The company had also placed similar armored vehicles with fuel in some places according to his request.

The car keys were all specially made. The set of keys in his hand could let him drive all the armored cars he had bought.

Soon, with Black Bean, Chu Xiu arrived at his main goal, the shelter that he had bought at a high price.

At this moment, the person in charge of the shelter was already waiting at the door.

When he saw Chu Xiu drive over, he hurriedly revealed the warmest smile he could muster.

After getting out of the car, Black Bean obediently followed Chu Xiu.

Although the person in charge of the shelter was a little surprised, he did not think much of it.

He was very enthusiastic, and began to show Chu Xiu around the renovated shelter.

The shelter's door protection, how to open and close it, and how to use mechanical switches inside.

He also emphasized the scope of the fallout shelter and the important protective armor outer layer.

The internal circulation system inside was also explained seriously.

"Mr. Chu, please accept this. This is the description of the shelter. At the same time, this is the authority of the shelter.

"Don't worry, the highest authority in this fallout shelter is only controlled by you.

"Even for us, it'd take us three months to crack your shelter.

"Of course, we won't do that. We'll only do it if you need us.

"And this requires us to mobilize the equipment at headquarters."

After introducing the shelter, the person in charge handed all the authority and special keys to Chu Xiu.

Mediators are a special kind of local officials (or individuals chosen by communities) that sometimes intervene in disputes instead of police in China. While we would call the cops in the West, in China mediators are called instead for disputes because of 4 things: to resolve a conflict peacefully and amicably by promoting reconciliation and compromise, to help deal with a problem without having to resort to a civil lawsuit, to help avoid confidentiality and exposure that may be caused by the involvement of police and lawsuits, and finally it's a cultural thing (harmony, reconciliation, and preserving social relationships are important to the end of preserving social stability and avoiding escalation of conflicts). The cops will still come if the case has more of a criminal flavor, and is less of a dispute.
