Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 147 The Boss's Little Follower, the Competition Begins! (Please Read On!)
Xia Qingmei was speechless upon hearing this.

"A dance competition between you two?"

Yan Chenchen said with a smile:
"Yes, we have more than forty sisters."

"They are divided into many groups to compete, and the group with the highest score wins."

"The reward my husband gave me was amazing; there was even something that could give a person an extra life."

"We all really want one!"

These words made Xia Qingmei's eyes widen again.

"An extra life?"

Su Baitao said with a smile:
"This is our secret. You will only know it when you truly become part of our family."

Xia Qingmei didn't try to explain anymore. Now that Su Baitao and the others had said so much, she felt there was no point in arguing.

A moment later, after soaking in the bathroom for half an hour and washing up, Xia Qingmei changed into new clothes.

Looking at the various cosmetics on the dressing table, she quickly got ready in ten minutes.

Soon, an elegant female CEO image emerged.

She looked very elegant in her purple evening gown.

Xia Qingmei had no intention of competing with the other girls, but the thought of being surrounded by top beauties, each with incredibly radiant skin, made her feel a little uneasy.

This unconsciously created a sense of pressure for her.

So before going out, she took several deep breaths to make herself feel confident.

Before long, we arrived at the restaurant.

What came into view was a group of beautiful women of all types.

But most of them were dressed very casually, and some even came out in their pajamas.

The group sat at a huge long table and talked, with one chair at the head of the table empty.

Xia Qingmei was about to find an inconspicuous corner to sit down when Su Baitao pulled her to sit in the seat next to the main seat.

"You're the boss's little sidekick, how can you not follow him around?"

"If you sit with us, won't you be just like us?"

These words forced Xia Qingmei to sit down.

She thought about it and realized it was true; if she sat among the crowd, she would be just like those women.

As soon as I sat down, Lu Zheng appeared and took the seat of honor.

"Honey! I want some shrimp paste, give me a serving!"

Yan Chenchen was the first to order.

Su Baitao followed closely behind.

"Honey, I want lamb skewers, and five beef skewers too."

Bai Zhihui said softly:

"Honey, I want a bowl of bird's nest soup."

Nan Yirou began to speak:

"I'll just have a bowl of oatmeal with milk, and a slice of cream cake."

The women took turns ordering, and soon everyone had told them what they wanted to eat.

Finally, everyone's gaze fell on Xia Qingmei.

The latter subconsciously sat up straight, perhaps due to excessive nervousness, and blurted out:
"Honey, I'd like a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and a serving of egg fried rice."

As soon as she said that, her face flushed red, and she quickly tried to cover it up.

"No, I called you the wrong person, you should call me boss."

Seeing the amused expressions on everyone's faces, Xia Qingmei felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Lu Zheng didn't pay any attention and with a wave of his hand, various delicacies appeared.

Everything was prepared in double the amount everyone wanted, so that others could also take some if they wished to eat.

Looking at the table laden with delicious food—seafood barbecue, rice, noodles, desserts, and drinks—Xia Qingmei completely forgot her shyness. Even before the apocalypse, she had never seen so much food at once!

She whispered to Su Baitao beside her:

"Peach, do you eat like this every day?"

Su Baitao shook her head and said with a smile:
"It's like this only when my husband is around."

"We usually go to the restaurants downstairs and eat separately."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be convenient for such a large group of people to sit together and chat, right?"

"The food below is limited in variety and tastes just average, far inferior to what my husband brings out."

"Come on, try my bird's nest soup. Drink more to replenish your body."

Everyone chatted and laughed while enjoying the meal.

Xia Qingmei had finally witnessed firsthand what kind of lives Lu Zheng's women led.

Su Baitao and her friends were preparing for a dance competition, and she went along to help.

Then he was temporarily pulled in to be the host.

Xia Qingmei didn't know how she agreed; the microphone and lines had inexplicably ended up in her hands.

On stage, Xia Qingmei stood under the lights, looking at Lu Zheng, the only audience member and judge, and felt an extremely absurd feeling.

But she still announced the participants for the first group without really understanding what was going on.

The women sprang into action immediately, the rustling of their silk and tulle dresses filling the air, their carefully styled hair gleaming under the lights, as they quickly but elegantly gathered around their teammates.

Xia Qingmei felt like a mortal who had stumbled into a fairyland, clutching the script that had been hastily given to her, trying her best to make her voice sound calm and professional:

"Mr. Lu... everyone, the competition is about to begin. First group, please welcome the 'Graceful Dance Group'—Shi Xueqi, Zheng Jingyi, Ding Nannan, and Wen Wanqing!"

First up is the undeniably strong "professional team".

Shi Xueqi, a former screen star, has a graceful figure like a white swan. Zheng Jingyi, a former internet celebrity, also studied dance for a period of time. Ding Nannan and Wen Wanqing are professional dance students.

The four performers moved in perfect unison, and every raised hand and every kick showed signs of professional training.

The skirts fluttered like waves, and the three little girls were like flower buds, setting off Shi Xueqi's blossoming beauty.

Clearly, their dance was designed to highlight Shi Xueqi's performance.

Green leaves set off the flowers, but those are just ordinary flowers.

The flower that stands out among other flowers is the truly beautiful one.

In the final moments, they finished with a classic lift. Among the three, Shi Xueqi was exceptionally beautiful, like a lotus flower in a snow-capped mountain, which drew Lu Zheng's approving nod and crisp applause.

"good, very good, excellent!"

"The game started off so spectacularly, the girls below are going to be under a lot of pressure."

"I am looking forward."

As he spoke, he wrote a score on his notebook.

Individual scores and group performance scores.

Xia Qingmei quickly flipped through the notebook:
"Next, please welcome the 'Light Chasing Team'—Su Baitao, Yan Chenchen, Yun Yishan, and Tian Wei!"

These four young girls burst into the scene like a ray of lively sunshine.

Su Baitao exuded youthful energy, gliding onto the dance floor on her skateboard with agile and playful movements; Yan Chenchen was full of vitality, each jump brimming with explosive energy; Yun Yishan remained sweet as ever, her movements carrying the freshness of a girl next door; Tian Wei, on the other hand, had a touch of coolness, incorporating jazz elements.

Their dance moves were simple, but Su Baitao, with her most enviable figure, brought a unique flavor to this refreshing dance.

The atmosphere was youthful and vibrant, filled with spontaneous improvisation and interactive elements that made the scene very lively.

Lu Zheng's lips curled up into a smile.

"Full of energy, makes people happy just looking at it, great, high score, deserves a high score."

"Don't stop, keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

Lu Zheng was immersed in joy, while at a stronghold outside the Xishan base, Cao Lei was leading a group of people to hold their ground.
