When Ming Shu finished verifying all the people, most of the workers had left. The light on her a.s.sistant’s table was still on.
Ming Shu stretched. She took the last cake and went out.
“You can head off.”
Her a.s.sistant stood up immediately. “Young Miss, I’ll get the car. Please wait for a moment.”
“No need. I’ll go back myself. Go home early and rest.”
Ming Shu left Du Ji.
This world was similar to the normal world. The only difference was the lifespan card.
There were not many people outside at night. Everyone was afraid that they would meet some maniacs who wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h their lifespans.
The buildings at the poor district were all lower than three floors. The roads were still clean. All the stalls along the road were closed. Ming Shu was unable to find a place to have a meal.
At this moment, the fake female protagonist was just reborn. She should be at the female protagonist’s house.
At the start, the fake female protagonist just did some small actions to take her revenge. She destroyed the poor district after she reclaimed her ident.i.ty.
I must find a chance to date the fake female protagonist.
… However, the most important thing now was to find a place to eat.
…
The Host’s work was boring. She had to sit in the office every day.
There would be people in charge of the selling and buying of lifespans so Ming Shu didn’t need to attend to it.
Ming Shu took a few days to get used to this lifestyle. She finally managed to finish all the doc.u.ments before working hours ended.
“a.s.sistant He, do you think that Young Miss is eating too much recently? Didn’t she say that she wants to go on a diet?”
a.s.sistant He thought for a moment. “She said that she will go on a diet after she fills her stomach.”
“…”
Just as they were talking about Ming Shu, a.s.sistant He received a call. Screams could be heard in the background. A worker shouted, “a.s.sistant He, we have trouble. Someone is creating a fuss.”
In the main hall of Du Ji…
When Ming Shu came down, the people in the main hall were already fighting.
Du Ji was not a legal business so they kept a low profile.
Now, the main hall was filled with people.
The workers of Du Ji stood on one side. The other people stood on the other side.
A few people stood at the corner. They must be the people who wanted to sell their lives.
The two parties were engaged in a gang fight. Everyone was pulling one another’s clothes and hair.
“Stop!” a.s.sistant He took out a loudspeaker. “Stop! Everyone, stop!”
a.s.sistant He’s voice echoed throughout the main hall.
The two parties parted unwillingly.
To show how high-cla.s.s they were, the workers of Du Ji all wore the same uniform. The name of the company was printed in Chinese in front while the English characters were printed at the back.
Ming Shu didn’t know which part of the uniform was high-cla.s.s.
This looked like the uniform of a delivery company.
“What is this? Do you all think that this is a market?” a.s.sistant He walked between the two parties. “What happened?”
“a.s.sistant He.” One of the workers held onto his torn clothes and stepped out. “A girl came to sell her lifespan. We did everything according to the rules. However, her parents want us to return her lifespan now. Three days had pa.s.sed so we didn’t accept their request. They started fighting because of this.”
“Pfft!” A woman spat at the worker. “You bunch of heartless people. You all will go to h.e.l.l! My daughter doesn’t know anything. You all fooled her. b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! I don’t care. You must return my daughter’s lifespan!”
a.s.sistant He looked at the woman. “Miss, the rules of Du Ji are written clearly. We only take people who want to sell their lifespan voluntarily. Your daughter sold her lifespan on her own accord.”
“Voluntarily? Impossible!” The woman got agitated. “You all forced her.”
a.s.sistant He was patient. “Is that girl an adult?”
The worker nodded. “We wouldn’t dare to accept her if she wasn’t.”
Du Ji was strict with their protocol.
a.s.sistant He nodded. “Miss, you have heard everything. Your daughter is an adult. Her decision had nothing to do with us. Du Ji will never force anyone.”
The woman got even more agitated. “No! My daughter will only become an adult next month. She is still so young. You bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Return my daughter’s lifespan!”
a.s.sistant He frowned slightly. He looked at the worker.
The worker shook his head. The girl was an adult.
The woman called all her friends and they started making a fuss again. The entire main hall turned into a market.
Ming Shu walked forward after listening to everything.
The workers cleared a path for her.
She wore a long, light dress and had her hair tied up casually. She looked just like a normal person.
Because the main hall of Du Ji was bright and s.p.a.cious, when Ming Shu walked through the path cleared for her, everyone felt that they were looking at someone from the wealthy district.
The noise disappeared.
The girl smiled. Her voice was gentle. “You all have been creating a commotion for a while. Where is the girl?”
The woman’s expression changed.
She looked up. “Who are you!”
“The person in charge of Du Ji.” Ming Shu tilted her head. “The boss.”
Although the people at Du Ji called her Young Miss, there was no one higher than her in terms of position.
Du Ji was her family’s business. She inherited it from her father—but not really. Actually, her father threw the business to her.
Her father was enjoying himself somewhere in the world. He could never be found.
When Ming Shu said that she was the boss, the people were stunned.
They didn’t expect such a young boss. Also, it was a female too.
Ming Shu smiled. “So, where is the girl?”
The woman’s friends all looked at one another. No one spoke. They turned to look at the woman.
The woman puffed out her chest. She seemed furious. “You all fooled my daughter and now, you want to threaten her? Let me tell you, no way! You all will be caught like this. This is against the law!”
Ming Shu’s tone was nonchalant. “So what? The law is used to protect rich people. It has nothing to do with us.”
There was nothing wrong with what she said. The law was used to protect the people in the wealthy district.
There was no law in the poor district.
There were only struggles, pain, and despair in this place.
The woman wanted to find another reason.
Ming Shu spoke before her. “The transaction is done voluntarily. We even give you three days to come back and cancel the transaction. Since you didn’t come back in three days, everything is finalized. Why are you here? Did someone ask you to come or do you want to extort us?”
The main hall turned quiet after Ming Shu said the last sentence.
The woman got frantic. She looked around her and shouted suddenly, “My daughter is not an adult yet. Her words don’t mean anything.”
Ming Shu appeared enlightened. “Oh, so you’re trying to extort us.”
The woman’s eyes widened. She started crying, “What do you mean by that? Don’t frame me. You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds bullied my daughter and now, you all want to bully me. Where is your conscience? I only have one daughter. How will I live like this!”
