Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 24

"Could you please give us a bucket of water?"

A slender, beautiful, and elegant woman approached Chen Hao's group and asked a question.

The person closest to her was a woman in Chen Hao's group.

She recognized him at first glance and covered her mouth in surprise, asking, "You must be the owner of Meiya Beauty."

"Yes, you know me?"

"Of course, I applied for a job at your company before, but unfortunately I wasn't selected."

Meyer Beauty is a very famous cosmetics company.

They rented an entire seventh floor of the building to house their employees.

Her boss, Jiang Meiya, is also a legendary figure. Not only is she a beautiful woman, but she is also young, only around thirty years old, yet she is already a billionaire. Those who dare to pursue her are either rich or powerful.

Most men, let alone pursuing her, would feel inferior just standing in front of her.

"Could I meet your boss?"

Jiang Meiya pleaded.

"I can't make that decision for you, but I'll go ask Brother Chen."

So, this woman ran over to Chen Hao's side, saying something while pointing towards Jiang Meiya.

When Chen Hao saw Jiang Meiya, his eyes lit up.

Being pretty is one thing, but the key is her temperament, which is very eye-catching.

"Let her come to see me."

"OK."

"Sister Meiya, Brother Chen said you need to come over."

"Okay, thank you very much, beautiful lady."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

The woman smiled happily when Jiang Meiya praised her.

"So you wanted to see me? What do you want to see me about?"

Chen Hao looked at Jiang Meiya and asked directly.

"I want some water."

"Hmm? I heard you're the owner of Meiya Cosmetics. With so many people working for you, are you short of water?"

"The water shortage is precisely because there are so many people."

Jiang Meiya looked at Chen Hao with her beautiful eyes, sighed, and then began to explain.

As a beauty company, Meiya Beauty naturally has more women than men.

Of the more than one hundred employees, nine-tenths are women, and only less than ten are men.

Moreover, these men tend to be mild-mannered, or in other words, weak-willed and unable to handle responsibility.

After all, someone who can live among hundreds of women for an extended period must have a personality that leans towards femininity.

Getting such a group of people to hunt in a dangerous jungle is extremely difficult.

Therefore, since they traveled through time yesterday, they have been consuming some of the company's stored resources.

Because women like to eat snacks, there are plenty of snacks in the company, enough to last for a few days.

But there's not much water left, and even with such frugality, it'll be used up soon.

"Do you have anything to change the water with?"

"You know, all this water was transported here from a distant river by people like us, risking our lives."

Chen Hao did not show any pity for the woman just because she was beautiful.

"Our company has some snacks; could we use them to exchange for water?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meiya hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Can."

Chen Hao nodded.

Snacks are good too, it's a good way to change things up.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go and call someone to bring the snacks down."

After Jiang Meiya finished speaking, she waved to a few women not far away, and the women quickly ran over.

Upon seeing them, the men in Chen Hao's team couldn't help but brighten up.

This is a group of beautiful women.

"Hehe, how awesome would it be to marry a woman like that?"

A look of longing appeared in Luo Hai's eyes.

"If it were before, you wouldn't even need to think about it."

"Now? Hehe, it's not impossible."

Kong Hao, standing to the side, smiled with a hint of malice.

These words made the men's eyes gleam with a sharp light.

In chaotic times, beautiful women are the most dangerous.

They are now in the midst of chaos.

Chen Hao couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He's a man, so naturally he likes beautiful women, but he doesn't like to force women.

Sometimes, beautiful women are also an important resource.

However, the women in Chen Hao's team couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

After Jiang Meiya exchanged a few words with the women, one of them ran upstairs.

The remaining few followed Jiang Meiya to Chen Hao's side.

Jiang Meiya has such a strong presence that the men don't dare to approach her or talk to her.

The other women were different; several men surrounded them.

"Boss Chen, you're really something, managing to build a team so quickly."

Jiang Meiya took the initiative to chat with Chen Hao.

She looked at Zhao Long, Li Laoshi, and the others beside Chen Hao. They were all burly, armed, and had resolute faces. They looked like they were not to be trifled with, and she couldn't help but feel envious.

If she had men like that under her command, why would she beg Chen Hao for a little water?

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself."

"Only when you are capable can you get others to follow you."

Chen Hao said something else entirely.

"There are a lot of women in your company, right?"

"What, is there someone you like? I can play matchmaker for you."

Jiang Meiya said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Chen Hao shook his head: "I don't have the mind to spend time on romance right now."

"I just wanted to remind you that having too many women isn't a good thing."

"We've only been here for two days, and people still have a high moral standard."

"As time goes on, the pressure to survive will increase, and many people will cross the line."

"You need to be prepared, either bring out a group of women to explore the jungle and strengthen yourselves, or you can only quietly wait for your fate to come."

Chen Hao's words caused Jiang Meiya's expression to change.

How could a woman who has been navigating the complexities of society for so many years not know such things?

That's all I wanted to say.

After saying that, Chen Hao waved to Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, find someone to spread the word: exchange ten liters of water for one card. Anyone who's interested, bring your card to exchange."

"Yes, Brother Chen."

Qin Feng immediately set about promoting it.

Chen Hao left the first floor and went to the third floor, to the empty office.

After closing the door and using a table to block it, Chen Hao took out the blue [Enhancement Card] and used it.

The blue card transformed into blue particles and surged into Chen Hao's body, rapidly strengthening him.

Compared to the first time, the feeling wasn't as intense this time.

Although his whole body was still numb and itchy, Chen Hao only frowned and gritted his teeth to get through it.

After the enhancement was completed, Chen Hao felt that his strength had increased, and other aspects had also improved.

In short, it's not as noticeable as the purple [enhancement card].

After the enhancement was completed, Chen Hao returned to the first floor.

By this time, a line had already formed in front of his water cart, with people holding buckets, exchanging cards for water as they went.

There is a scale next to the waterwheel; ten liters of water equals ten kilograms, which is equivalent to a one-star blue water card.

"Boss Chen, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."

As soon as Chen Hao returned, Jiang Meiya came over and gave him a "good guy" card.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Hao looked at her with some confusion.

"You actually used precious water to exchange for some useless cards. You're probably doing this on purpose because you're afraid they won't have enough water to drink."

"After all, if you provide water for free, not only will your own people be unwilling, but it might also cause riots."

"But you came up with the idea of ​​exchanging water with cards, which would eliminate those problems."

Jiang Meiya looked as if she could see right through Chen Hao's thoughts.

Chen Hao was both amused and exasperated: "This woman has quite the imagination."

Of course, if Chen Hao didn't have a cheat code, Jiang Meiya's speculation might not be wrong.
