Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

"Not enough... I want more..." a female employee said, clutching her stomach.

The others, their eyes red, also stood up. "Engineer Chen! Is that all? Is that all?"

"Engineer Chen, there's still meat left. Why don't we eat it now?"

After finishing his bread, Chen Jian felt his strength returning a little.

He looked at the few pounds of raw meat on the ground.

This is high-quality protein, so I have to find an excuse to secretly hide it away and eat it slowly.

After all, everyone believes him now, and whatever he says goes.

"We'll save this meat for dinner; right now, we need to get other supplies first."

Just then, Liu Gang took a step forward.

"Chen Jian!" Liu Gang shouted, "Lin Fan has given the order: if we want the remaining half of the supplies, we have to hand over Song Ya. There are boxes of sausages, self-heating rice, and several boxes of instant noodles piled up on top!"

This statement immediately ignited the crowd.

"Send it up! What are you waiting for!" someone screamed. "Song Ya is his woman, it's only natural for her to go and exchange food!"

"Yes! Wake her up and take her away!"

When faced with extreme greed, a person's mind instantly becomes negative.

Chen Jian glanced at Song Ya, who was lying unconscious in the distance.

There's no point in this woman staying here; nobody wants to eat their own kind unless absolutely necessary.

Exchanging Song Ya for food is the best option right now.

"Okay." Chen Jian nodded, waved to a male employee, and said, "Go, get some seawater to splash that woman awake, then the three of you take her upstairs."

Chen Jian was not very bright to begin with, and the only reason he could get others to listen to him was because of his wife.

He was even less intelligent than others, so when tempted by the food, he didn't think twice.

"Wait a moment."

A woman's voice suddenly interrupted Chen Jian's plan.

The beach fell silent instantly. Everyone turned to look.

Wang Lan was wearing a wrinkled business suit, her hair tied back with a twig. Although she was also pale and thin, her eyes revealed a calmness that was completely out of place with the frenzy on the beach.

Wang Lan is Chen Jian's legal wife.

After witnessing Chen Jian's madness, she suddenly understood.

Even if she offended Su Qingxue, she couldn't let Chen Jian become the person in charge.

If Chen Jian betrays her and doesn't listen to her, she might end up being killed by him.

She can only survive if everyone sees her value.

When Chen Jian saw Wang Lan come out, he subconsciously stopped talking, his eyes filled with anger.

Wang Lan didn't look at Chen Jian, but walked straight to the pile of packaged supplies, glanced down at them, and then looked up and locked her gaze on Wang Qiang and Liu Gang.

"We absolutely cannot release Song Ya first."

"Wang Lan, what are you doing!" Wang Qiang, feeling guilty, immediately raised his voice, "If we don't release Song Ya, who will get the remaining supplies upstairs? How are we going to give them to that bastard Lin Fan?"

Wang Lan sneered, took a step forward, and her gaze swept across the three faces.

"Who is Lin Fan? He occupies a strategically important location up there, and he has so much supplies he could kill someone. Would he really give up half of his fortune for a woman who only knows how to work?"

Wang Lan pointed to the empty box on the ground.

"If he doesn't care about Song Ya, why did he bother with this initial show of sincerity?"

Zhao Hai also spoke up.

"Think about it carefully, everyone. If Lin Fan really wanted to replace her, he could have had us take Song Ya to the hillside and hand her over to her. Why insist on letting the three of them take a little down first?"

Everyone was stunned. His feverish mind was suddenly extinguished by Wang Lan's words.

Yes, why?

"The only explanation is," Wang Lan's eyes turned completely cold as she stared at Wang Qiang's stomach, "that Lin Fan never intended to give us a second chance. What he gave us wasn't sincerity, but bait."

Wang Lan approached Wang Qiang, "Manager Wang, while you were upstairs, did Lin Fan do anything besides making you move things? Like... letting you have a good meal?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Qiang instantly bristled, his face turning bright red. "If we ate it, would we be taking it down and sharing it with you?"

Liu Gang also got anxious, clenching his fists and about to step forward: "You bitch, if you say another word, I'll beat you up too!"

"Feeling guilty?" Wang Lan didn't back down; she knew all too well what a guilty reaction was.

As the accountant, she could tell who was embezzling just by looking at the ledgers. Judging from the current state of these three people, she knew they were definitely up to something.

"If you ate all the food up there and Lin Fan instigated you to turn against the people on the beach, then you brought down this half-baked supply just to gain our trust and then take Song Ya up with you."

"Lin Fan promised you that as long as the three of you bring Song Ya up there, half of the supplies up there will be yours."

He also told you that three mouths consume resources much slower than twenty mouths.

"Don't fall for my tricks, you three."

"As long as you bring Song Ya up there, Lin Fan has a knife, and it will only take him a few seconds to take you down there."

Wang Lan's analysis was extremely accurate.

For a moment, everyone's gaze became filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The crowd, who had been eager to exchange Song Ya for food, also stopped what they were doing.

If Song Ya is really sent up, all bargaining chips will be lost. Not only will he have to face Lin Fan's blockade, but he will also have to face the trio who may have already defected. Chen Jian will immediately become the target of everyone's criticism.

"Wang Lan is right." Chen Jianli immediately changed his stance and said loudly, "Lin Fan is cheating! Song Ya must not leave the beach! Get a rope and tie her to a tree trunk! As long as she is in our hands, Lin Fan will not dare to make any rash moves!"

Wang Qiang and Liu Gang exchanged a glance. A fierce glint flashed in Liu Gang's eyes.

Lin Fan had calculated the first step and the second step, but he probably hadn't anticipated that there was a smart Wang Lan on the beach.

On a towering cave platform.

The sea breeze was whistling.

Zhou Kai stood on the edge, cautiously peeking out half his head to take in everything that was happening on the beach below.

He couldn't hear what was arguing below, but he could clearly see that Song Ya had been tied up again, and the crowd had started fighting amongst themselves, pointing and shoving at each other.

Zhou Kai took a deep breath and turned to look at Lin Fan, who was sitting by the fire whittling wood.

"Brother Fan." Zhou Kai swallowed hard, finally unable to suppress his question, "Why does it sound like there's a commotion downstairs? And they've taken Song Ya back. What...what idea did you give Wang Qiang and the other two?"
