Chapter 154 -154 What Demons and Ghosts

Gu Pan’s brow furrowed slightly, but since she had just arrived here and didn’t understand the situation, she didn’t want to get into conflicts with people easily.

So she chatted with Lu Ruisheng at the counter while waiting, discussing what decorations were still needed at home and what to buy later, having a clear idea in her mind.

After talking for a while, Gu Pan looked over and saw that the sales clerk was flipping through the pages; however, after turning the page, she continued to look at the next page with no intention of stopping.

Gu Pan had no choice but to remind her again, “Comrade, I would like to take a look at that silk four-piece set.”

The sales clerk looked up and glanced at Gu Pan, who was dressed plainly, and said impatiently, “That’s made of silk. Are you sure you can afford it? That set costs fifty-six contribution points. If you’re sure you can buy, I can show it to you. Are you sure you want to buy it?”

Her every sentence implied, “Don’t look if you can’t afford it.”

Gu Pan looked at the snobbish sales clerk, “Don’t you have to look before buying something? Shouldn’t the sales clerk satisfy the normal requests of customers?”

The sales clerk looked up, set down her book without standing up, “What era do you think we are in, still thinking it’s before the apocalypse? There’s only one shopping mall in the base, and it’s not yet decided who should satisfy whom.”

You see, these sales clerks all had some connections with their families in the base. Now that there was only one shopping mall in the base, there was nowhere else to buy if not here, so they had developed such arrogance and disdain.

Just as Lu Ruisheng was about to speak in retort, a charming voice came from behind them, “Bring over that silk four-piece set for me to take a look.”

The sales clerk’s expression changed in an instant, full of flattery, “Miss Song, do you mean that aqua-colored one?”

“Yes,” the woman’s voice was soft.

“This is new stock that arrived today; Miss Song really has good taste,” the sales clerk said as she went to fetch it.

Gu Pan turned around and saw a woman in her early twenties approaching, dressed in a Chanel suit, carrying an Hermès bag, with makeup on, and her dyed curly hair done up exquisitely.

At this time, to be able to dye and curl one’s hair, one definitely wasn’t an ordinary person. However, no matter what, she had set her sights on the item first; this was clearly outright bullying.

Before Gu Pan could speak, Lu Ruisheng spoke first, “We were here first; please show the item to my wife first.”

Holding the silk four-piece set in her hands and standing at the counter, the sales clerk scoffed, “Do you know who Miss Song is? You dare to compete for something she has her eye on?”

The clerk knew that she got to transfer to this job because the mall director had pleaded with Miss Song’s father on her behalf. Without any skills of her own, how could she have landed such a good job?

For this job, she had put in plenty of effort in the director’s bed with her singing and playing, utterly exhausted, just to make that old guy work so hard at soliciting favors. Now was definitely the time to perform her best and to fawn over Miss Song—the opportunity couldn’t be passed up. That old man had a wife; she couldn’t rely on him forever. It was absolutely beneficial to cozy up to the person in front of her.

Lu Ruisheng looked at the sales clerk’s attitude and frowned, “We came to the base to live a peaceful life. If everything in the base is about seizing by force, then what’s the point of coming here? No matter who she is, there should be a sequence of first-come, first-served.”

Miss Song looked at Lu Ruisheng, “And if I don’t? What can you do?”

Lu Ruisheng reached over the counter, snatched the four-piece set from the sales clerk’s hands, and passed it to Gu Pan, “Do you like it?”

Gu Pan indeed liked it, but she didn’t buy it out of spite. Instead, she carefully examined the craftsmanship and quality, then nodded, “Mhm.”

Then she took out her contribution points from her pocket, took out fifty-six according to the marked price, and placed them on the counter, “This is what discipline looks like.”

After saying that, she handed the sheets to Lu Ruisheng, “Let’s go.”

Lu Ruisheng agreed, “Okay.”

Just as they were about to leave, Miss Song caught up with them, “Are you sure you want to be my enemy?”

Gu Pan laughed, “We never intended to be anyone’s enemy. We simply got here first and took a liking to this bedding set, so we bought it. Is there a problem?”

By now, quite a crowd had gathered to watch the commotion.

Miss Song was used to being overbearing in the base, and she didn’t care about the onlookers. Only the weak would be afraid, and she was not.

She glared at Gu Pan viciously, “No one dares to snatch something that Song Xiner has her eye on. Just you wait.”

Gu Pan looked at Song Xiner, “We are just buying something normally, we didn’t snatch anything from anyone. You’re slandering us.”

Song Xiner sneered, “You probably don’t know who the director of the Employment Center at the base is, do you?”

That position was absolutely untouchable. Apart from the top technical personnel, who else at the base didn’t need to find a job? Offending the director of the Employment Center, could they still be arranged for a good job? Didn’t the sales clerk right here take this approach through her father’s connections? Because of these reasons, Song Xiner was a sought-after presence at the base.

Gu Pan wasn’t in need of a job herself, but she didn’t mind playing with the person in front of her, shaking her head, “I don’t know,” then asked as if having a sudden realization, “It wouldn’t happen to be a Song, would it?”

Song Xiner revealed a superior air, “Good that you know. So now, should that bedding set be given to me?”

Lu Ruisheng weighed the four-piece bedding set in his hands, “Is this how the families of base leadership bully ordinary members?”

His words stirred something in the hearts of the onlookers, who were ordinary people themselves. They indeed despised people like Song Xiner. The base was rife with inequality and nepotism, but what could these ordinary folks do? In order to survive, they had to endure.

Gu Pan continued her husband’s line of questioning to Song Xiner, “Are we supposed to flatter your family to get a good job? This base belongs to the nation. If we didn’t know any better, we might think it belongs to your family.”

Song Xiner, while used to being overbearing, wasn’t stupid. She knew she couldn’t continue this topic. These two in front of her were too eloquent and could pinpoint the most painful spots. If she continued, she might fall into their trap and cause trouble for her father, it would be a loss. So, she needed to leave quickly.

But she couldn’t lower her head, so she huffed at Gu Pan, “It’s none of your business. I’m telling you, don’t expect to live a good life at this base from now on.”

Having said that, she picked up her bag and left quickly. A gentleman’s revenge could wait ten years, and she would certainly make these two pay.

The surrounding onlookers started to talk among themselves. The children of the base’s leaders were too overbearing and bullying.

Of course, they didn’t dare speak too loudly because being on the base was already lucky enough. Offending the leaders and not having good jobs in the future would be a loss.

The sales clerk didn’t think Gu Pan and her husband getting the upper hand was a good thing and sneered, “Just because you have a little money, you think you’re something special. You obviously don’t know where you are.” After saying that, she sat down and started reading her book again.

Gu Pan laughed, “A dog that panders to others has learned to talk like a human but still can’t say anything pleasant.”

Lu Ruisheng chimed in with his wife, “It’s strange, isn’t it? If the dog isn’t tied to the owner’s doorstep, why is it allowed to come out and bite people?”
