Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

"Fortunately, Ms. Bai is just kind-hearted, not a brainless saint, otherwise I would really have to consider whether or not to let her into my room."

Chen An was satisfied when he saw that Bai Mengjie did not argue with Wang Ziyan.

In his previous life, Chen An would have really liked kind people.

But in this cruel world, mindless kindness can not only harm yourself, but also kill those around you.

If it's just normal kindness with its own bottom line, then of course there's no problem.

Chen An actually prefers to be surrounded by law-abiding and kind people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

Sitting on the steps next to him, Chen An opened the chat interface and sent a message to Jiang Lai, asking her to use silver coins to trade when selling crossbows.

He needs to collect silver coins.

Because today, you can exchange silver coins for gold coins in the mall.

Although he had used up his quota, there were still hundreds of residents on this floor.

They certainly didn't have that many silver coins to exchange for gold coins.

Therefore, Chen An planned to use his power as the "boss" to acquire all the vacant quotas.

This is the benefit of controlling population, resources, and power.

With his trinity, his development speed is several times faster than before!

Chen An was sending a message when he suddenly felt someone touch his shoulder.

He turned his head alertly, almost pulling out his crossbow.

Fortunately, the woman who bumped into him was a familiar face.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Chen An frowned, a hint of displeasure creeping into his expression.

He was very unhappy about being touched in such a dangerous environment.

"Um, boss, I... I'd like to give you a shoulder massage..."

The female resident said somewhat shyly.

"No need, just keep an eye on the surroundings and don't let the monsters get close."

As Chen An was expressing his dissatisfaction, the female resident had already started making her move.

The force and positioning were both well controlled.

Surprisingly, it was quite comfortable.

Wang Ziyan was furious when she saw this.

"green tea!"

She glared at the woman who was trying to curry favor with her, her teeth clenched.

That's incredibly bold!

That's shameless!

Don't you know that men and women should not touch each other?

Of course, Wang Ziyan thought these things viciously in her heart, but didn't say them out loud.

After all, she and Chen An were not actually in a romantic relationship, so she had no right to interfere.

But she was still very unhappy.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

So Wang Ziyan opened the panel, found Jiang Lai's friends, and told them about the situation.

She wanted Jiang Lai to take charge.

Given Jiang Lai's personality, she would definitely be very angry after hearing this, right?

Wang Ziyan: If you don't do something, there will be another woman in the room!

Jiang Lai: If Chen An likes it, I don't care. After all, I'm not the homeowner.

Jiang Lai: Besides, what are you jealous of? What does Chen An having a woman have to do with you? You have a boyfriend, are you trying to make a move on him?

Seeing Jiang Lai's three consecutive questions, Wang Ziyan felt both ashamed and annoyed.

From the moment she entered Chen An's room, she had already decided to break up with her boyfriend.

I just can't get in touch with them right now, so I haven't explicitly broken up with them.

But she couldn't say this to Jiang Lai, otherwise, given Jiang Lai's sharp tongue, she would definitely make sarcastic and mocking remarks.

"That wretched Jiang Lai, why is she only targeting me! Can't you see that other women are trying to steal my place?"

Wang Ziyan gritted her teeth, feeling both angry and aggrieved.

the other side.

Jiang Lai, in the room, chuckled as she looked at Wang Ziyan's message: "Trying to use me? Do you think I'm as clueless as that straight man Chen An, unable to see through your green tea nature?"

Let's set aside whether Chen An had other women.

Even if you've looked for one.

What benefit would she gain if she were the first to jump out and condemn it?

How to keep the title of the only girlfriend?

Are you kidding me!

Judging from the fact that Chen Angang had sex with her after living together for only two days, he is not a faithful and honest person.

Even after sleeping with her, he treated her like a beast of burden.

This guy is really ruthless!

It's impossible to emotionally blackmail him.

Since emotional blackmail doesn't work, we can only rely on binding interests.

This world is no longer the peaceful era of the past.

There were no rules or moral constraints.

If Chen An really wanted to have more women, she wouldn't stop him.

After all, even in their previous lives, many wealthy people had more than one partner of the opposite sex.

Jiang Lai herself came from a wealthy family, so she knew all too well how extravagant the lives of the rich and powerful were.

Compared to that, if Chen An's desire to find women to vent or collect was merely driven by physiological instinct, it wouldn't amount to much.

Therefore, Jiang Lai had already prepared herself mentally.

She didn't intend to control Chen An, prevent him from finding women, or direct him.

On the contrary, if the conditions were right, she would even support Chen An in finding women and in doing things.

Just like when Chen An left the community, even though she was very worried that something might happen to him, she did not stop him. She just did her best to help Chen An buy protective gear and a flashlight for self-defense.

Of course, if Chen An really wanted to take a second woman, she would have to show that she was vying for his favor and jealous.

Otherwise, if Chen An thinks she doesn't care about anything, he will definitely become more and more unscrupulous and may even stop caring about her.

Jiang Lai has seen many absurd things, and her vision and understanding are superior to those of ordinary women.

She knew very well that occasional coquettishness and occasional jealousy would make men like her more.

Of course, while she wouldn't stop Chen An from seeing women, she would firmly reject some shady women.

Otherwise, if Chen An were to bring in a sick woman, wouldn't I be infected?

There are also women like Wang Ziyan, who are scheming and petty, and they must be suppressed and educated in advance.

Otherwise, once she's actually taken in by Chen An, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause this family.

All of the above explains why Jiang Lai disliked Wang Ziyan from the very beginning and constantly targeted and suppressed her.

This is a method of taming.

Even if Wang Ziyan really becomes Chen An's woman in the future, she will still be subordinate to him.

"You little green tea, I'm Chen An's first woman, and he's my first man. With that relationship, no matter how many other women come, they can't shake my position. You think I'd make Chen An unhappy? How naive."

Jiang Lai swung her long legs, leisurely browsing the trading platform.

She is very confident!

……

Chen An enjoyed the shoulder and leg massages from several residents and exclaimed that this kind of life was really not bad!

Indeed, the other residents, regardless of gender, saw that someone was the first to fawn over Chen An, so they all rolled their eyes and stepped forward to fawn over him, offering to massage his shoulders and legs.

People tend to conform.

Once someone starts something, others will imitate it.

Especially now that Chen An is wealthy and powerful, these residents are eager to curry favor with him and gain some benefits.

"No wonder men all crave power; it really feels good to have power!"

Chen An felt a surge of emotion.

If he didn't have power, why would these people fawn over him?

Comfortable!

Two hours passed in this enjoyable state.

at last.

There were firelight and footsteps coming from the doorway.

"Brother Li, it's Brother Li!"

Some residents saw the leader.

It was Li Jia and Bai Lu, among others.

"Boss, we've got a great haul this time! Killed several six-legged monsters! Got a lot of treasure chests, and... wait, where's the boss? Did you guys lose him?"

Li Jia was speaking excitedly when he suddenly realized that Chen An was not there.

The others were also taken aback.

Only Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi turned around immediately, looking into the darkness behind them, as if by unspoken agreement.

really.

Unbeknownst to them, Chen An had already hidden himself at the very back of the crowd.

That's way too cautious!

Be wary of your own people!
