Chapter 39: Eat melon
There was a circle of people around, and they couldn't wait to say: "Boss Shen, stop showing off, we can just get it ourselves."
Shen Bing silently took a step back and let them take it. As long as he had goods from the convenience store on him, he would be recognized and charged when he walked out of this door.
The news that there was a convenience store at the entrance of the base spread throughout the base before noon.
Even the base director Liu Hongtao came to see it out of curiosity. At first glance, he caught a glimpse of two ice sculptures, next to five people with their feet frozen.
He clicked his tongue, this boss was also a cruel person.
Shen Bing was tired of holding the lucky cat, so he dragged a table and chairs from the lottery shop. The lucky cat was placed on the table, and he sat down next to it, allowing everyone to operate freely.
There were exclamations all around, "The base commander is here?"
Shen Bing didn't even look at him. For a superpower of his level, the base commander should have come to say hello to him.
As expected, Liu Hongtao passed the others, walked straight to Shen Bing, and said very politely: "Master Shen is here too."
Shen Bing nodded lightly, hearing this voice, Master Shen felt a little happy.
His name used to be Master Shen, the Lord of Ice, which was very middle-class, but he liked it very much, and everyone started calling him Master Shen.
Liu Hongtao has always wanted to invite Shen Bing to settle in the Hope Base, but has been repeatedly rejected.
Therefore, he continued to talk in a very good-tempered manner: "Master Shen also came to see the convenience store? It's strange. I don't know which master opened it."
Daxia Shen pointed in a direction casually, and Liu Hongtao followed it and looked over...
It was Rikari who continued to fish while dozing off with her chin propped up, so she could provide for herself without having to worry about her customers.
Shen Binghan, is this Mr. Lu transformed from a pig? !
Liu Hongtao was shocked, what is this Luli's special ability? Even if he opened a lottery shop, he would also open a convenience store now?
What do you want to do? Don't do the central base business.
Thinking this, he had already raised Luli's status in his heart, and he must not offend him.
Liu Hongtao praised him repeatedly, "Boss Lu is such a good person, he has brought great benefits to the people..."
After a lot of praise and a nod of approval from Shen Bing, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the convenience store he was interested in.
He is old and doesn't like scratch-off tickets and stuff that are too exciting. Convenience stores are better, because you get what you pay for.
He walked in casually, and the customers slightly moved aside because of his status.
Liu Hongtao pretended to be friendly and said: "You buy yours, and I will come in and take a look."
As soon as he said this, no matter whether he was sincere or not, everyone immediately crowded to the shelves and started grabbing.
Liu Hongtao was directly squeezed out of the crowd, his face darkened involuntarily, and he looked at these people displeased.
Some people who like to flatter people loudly said: "What are you doing? I didn't see Liu Ji growing up here. Why are you squeezing? What if you squeeze people! Get out of the way!"
Others murmured in a low voice, "It's obvious you are so good at taking pictures, why are you still doing this?"
Others shouted loudly, "Oh, the commander of the base is so magnanimous, how can he care about such a trivial matter."
Liu Hongtao heard these two sentences clearly, and the air was quiet for a while.
He said generously: "Hey, it's okay. It's first come, first served. You guys have a look first."
After saying that, he took the initiative to take a few steps back, with a kind face and a shallow smile.
Everyone praised one after another: "I just said that the base director is not a stingy person, he is generous, and you are just worrying here."
The person who was originally flattering felt a little embarrassed, so he rushed forward and grabbed a few buckets of instant noodles, a few breads, and a few bottles of water from the carton, and then ran away.
Liu Hongtao's eyes darkened, but he still maintained a friendly smile on his face, very down-to-earth, but the hands behind his back were quietly clenched. With the base manager's polite words, everyone let go of themselves, stepped forward to select products, and then left the convenience store.
Each one went very quickly without wasting too much time. After all, there were still a lot of people queuing outside.
After the group of fifty people had almost left, Liu Hongtao stepped forward casually.
Pretending not to care, I picked up a bottle of mineral water, looked at it in the sunshine, and sighed in my heart, it was too pure.
Even the water provided by the central base is full of impurities and tastes strange, with a rusty smell.
He stared at the bottle of water and couldn't help but start swallowing saliva, really wanting to taste what such pure water tasted like.
Thinking like this, Liu Hongtao couldn't help but unscrew the bottle cap, took a few big gulps, and drank almost half of it.
[Alarm alert, Liu Hongtao secretly drank water without paying. Liu Hongtao secretly drank water without paying. 】
The siren rang through the convenience store and could be heard clearly for fifty meters around.
Shen Bing suddenly stood up and strode towards the convenience store, his brows furrowed and a fierce look on his face.
Others also looked at the convenience store, laughing unconsciously and whispering: "What's going on in this base?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I don't know. Are you inspecting convenience stores?"
A loyal fan of Luli defended: "It is his turn to inspect the store opened by our boss Lu? Who do you think he is!"
"That's right. Boss Lu has benefited so many people. What has Liu Hongtao done? He only knows how to show off all day long."
"Okay, keep your voice down, we still have to stay at the Hope Base."
Luli stopped dozing, leaned over and looked over there, got out of the car and trotted over curiously.
A Chinese who loves to eat melons all his life.
In the convenience store, Liu Hongtao heard the alarm as if he had seen it for the first time in a dream, his face was full of embarrassment, and he quickly screwed the bottle cap back.
He looked sideways at the aggressive Shen Bing and explained with a smile, "I can buy as many crystal nuclei as I want."
Shen Bingbing said with a stern face, "Warn me once. If there is a next time, I will be directly blacklisted and will not be opened again."
Liu Hongtao's old face turned red. He didn't expect Shen Bing to be so disrespectful, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
More and more people were watching, whispering quietly, although Liu Hongtao couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
But it just felt like they were talking, "I didn't expect Director Liu to have such a hobby?"
"That's right. Even if the director of the base doesn't pay, he still boils water to drink privately. The share is obviously much larger than ours. Have you never seen mineral water?"
"Oh, Boss Lu's products are of good quality and the water is clean. It's common to be surprised."
"Then you can't just drink without paying. You're really unqualified."
Thin and broken sounds penetrated into Liu Hongtao's ears, and his vision went dark. The image he had worked hard for for many years was destroyed in one fell swoop...
"Shut up!" Liu Hongtao roared angrily, his face turned livid, and he was about to leave the convenience store with a flick of his hand.
Shen Bing stopped him, "Crystal core."
Liu Hongtao almost couldn't catch his breath. He took out the crystal core from the space, threw it at him hard, and then rushed out of the door.
Shen Bing behind him caught the crystal core, which was still a yellow third-level crystal core. He turned around and called to Liu Hongtao.
"Hey, that's too much." Shen Bing said in a calm voice.
