God's imitator

Chapter 118 Facing the Cold Winter
"Aunt Su! You..."

Seeing Li Renshu, Su Xiucen smiled helplessly: "The company's cash flow is about to collapse, isn't it?"

Li Renshu quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Regardless of whether the company's cash flow can hold up, we can't use this method. It's too unwise!"

"Even a temperature of -40 degrees Celsius for just one minute can cause irreversible damage to the body!"

"Currently, the community's medical conditions can only handle simple external injuries, and it is difficult to treat frostbite and frostbite of the respiratory tract."

"Moreover, you are older and a woman, so it's even more dangerous for you!"

Su Xiucen patted her hand: "What do you mean by cost-effective or not? Although I've never run a business, I know one thing: when you urgently need money, do you really expect someone to lend it to you at a normal interest rate?"

"I can't help you much in this game, but since I've become the boss, isn't this what I'm supposed to do?"

"Let me in. I can't keep being a burden to you. I have to do something for you."

"Twenty thousand isn't much, but if there's no major problem, I can rest for a while and go in a few more times, then that would be more, wouldn't it?"
"I'll go try it, just in case it's not that cold?"
"Alright, I've made up my mind, you guys don't need to worry about me."

Li Renshu remained silent for a moment, then stopped her again.

"Okay, Aunt Su, please wait a moment."

Li Renshu quickly left the president's office and called out to Fu Chen and Xu Tong, who were just about to leave the company to conduct market research.

"Give me the clothes, hurry up!"

Fu Chen was stunned for a moment: "Take off your clothes? Aunt Su, she..."

Lee In-sook frowned: "Hurry up, there's no time!"

Without saying a word, Fu Chen took off his coat, shirt, and overalls. After thinking for a moment, he also took off his trousers.

He was hugging his arms, wearing only a pair of boxer briefs.

"Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I should have bought a few more clothes from the vending machine before entering the game..."

The vending machines in the community sell all kinds of clothes, but since the community has always had the most comfortable temperature, most people are still just wearing simple light jackets or shirts.

Xu Tong also took off her coat and handed it to Li Renshu, but she couldn't take off her long skirt underneath, and the fabric wasn't thick enough to keep her warm.

Li Renshu took the coat and quickly returned to the president's office.

Fu Chen opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and walked with Xu Tong toward the market research site.

"Ah!"

Fu Chen shivered and sneezed.

……

Li Renshu also took off her outer clothes and wrapped them around Su Xiucen in layers.

Then she thought for a moment, and used Fu Chen's outer pants as a scarf to cover Su Xiucen's mouth and nose.

"Aunt Su, the air at minus forty degrees Celsius may freeze your respiratory tract. Be sure to cover your mouth and nose and breathe in little by little."

"And another thing... you must come out immediately after 1 minute. Don't think you can still hold on and stay any longer."

"Remember, you must be out within one minute!"

Su Xiucen patted her hand: "I know, I'm so old, what kind of hardship haven't I endured? It's not like I've never been cold before."

"I know what I'm doing."

She wrapped her outermost large coat around herself, making her figure appear even more stooped, before opening the door to the cold storage and going inside.

"Bang!"

The cold storage door closed automatically, and Li Renshu, unable to help, could only wait anxiously outside, keeping track of the time.

……

As the cold storage door closed, an even more biting cold enveloped Su Xiucen from all sides, seeping into every crevice of her clothing.

It's like steel needles piercing through all the bones in my body.

Wearing a thick enough down jacket, one wouldn't be in any trouble in this temperature for even a minute, but Su Xiucen's clothes clearly didn't offer much protection against the cold. The cold storage room was small, with a prominent button directly opposite and a timer with constantly ticking red numbers.

The button will be activated after at least one minute, and pressing the button will reopen the cold storage door.

Su Xiucen kept exhaling white breath and stomping her feet slightly, but there was still no sign of her getting warmer.

……

"Click."

The door to the cold storage room cracked open a crack, and then slowly opened.

Li Renshu then realized that the long minute had finally passed. She hurriedly went to meet Su Xiucen, who stumbled out of the cold storage, and hugged her in her arms.

"Aunt Su, how are you?"

Su Xiucen's lips had turned blue and her eyebrows were covered in frost, but she smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing serious, look, I'm fine."

Lee In-sook felt like she was holding a block of ice, but she still moved closer: "Okay, Aunt Su, once is enough, once is enough..."

"At worst, we'll just lose. Even if we lose all our visa time, it doesn't matter. Our community still has interest-free loans."

"Next time, let Attorney Lin and Officer Cao go with you; they'll definitely help you win it back..."

"Aunt Su, I'm going to submit the proposal now. Could you... just let that employee with lung cancer leave?"

Su Xiucen remained silent for a long time without giving a direct answer: "Could you let Xiao Xu in?"

"There are some things I want to say to her in person."

Lee In-sook didn't say anything more, but just hugged Su Xiu-cen tightly before getting up and leaving the president's office.

……

As agreed, it was the 17th Limited Liability Company's turn to complete the market research this time, so they brought back 5 minutes of visa time.

Fu Chen sneezed and asked, "How is Aunt Su?"

Li Renshu's expression was solemn: "Aunt Su is alright."

"Xu Tong, Aunt Su said she has something to say to you. Go and take care of Aunt Su. Stay in the president's office and don't go anywhere else. You absolutely cannot let her go into the cold storage again."

Xu Tong hurried to the president's office.

Lee In-sook glanced at the company's control panel again.

[Company No. 17]

[Company account balance in April: 133000 minutes of visa processing time]

[September Estimated Income: -20,000 minutes of visa processing time]

[Estimated expenses in May: 87200 minutes of visa processing time]

……

In the CEO's office, Xu Tong carefully wrapped Su Xiucen's clothes tighter around her.

"Aunt Su, that employee who was injured on the job..."

Xu Tong wanted to say something, but Su Xiucen interrupted her first.

"Alright, Xiao Xu, I know what you want to say."

"But can you listen to me first? During the time I've known you, it seems like you've been the ones taking care of me, and I haven't even had a chance to say a few words from my heart to you."

Xu Tong said anxiously, "Aunt Su, we can say these things back in the community. The most important thing right now is..."

Su Xiucen shook her head: "No, you must listen to me, this is very important."

Xu Tong had no choice but to nod: "Okay, Aunt Su, you go ahead and tell me, I'm listening..."
