Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 69: Purchase

"Join the official team?"

"Haha... forget it. Wouldn't it be better to be free and alone?"

Lin Beixuan walked out from behind the counter and looked through the glass door at Su Hongying and the other person who were getting farther and farther away.

If he had the idea of joining a certain force in his mind before, the official would naturally be a good choice, but now, he has abandoned all these ideas.

There is no other reason, I just feel there are too many pitfalls.

If you join a force, you will inevitably be restrained and have to follow the other party's rules. Even if you don't want to, you will be forced or bribed to get involved.

Luozhou is starving!

Lin Beixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was a newcomer and was afraid of ghosts. How could he dare to go to a haunted place?

He died just last night, and there was no trace of his body left, all his flesh had been eaten.

Seeing that some places on the shelves were empty, Lin Beixuan restocked the goods, then took out his mobile phone and called the supplier.

This supplier was originally the source of goods for the previous boss Zhang Huaimin. During the time when he worked part-time, Zhang Huaimin would ask him to take over the goods when he was busy, so he had a lot of contact with the other party.

The store's revenue is pretty good at this time, so it's time to prepare for purchasing goods in advance.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was answered, and a hoarse voice spoke.

"Hello."

"Hello, Brother Xu. I'm from the convenience store at Los Angeles University. I need to buy some snacks and sundries from you..."

Before Lin Beixuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other side.

"I'm no longer in this business. If you need anything, find someone else."

After saying this, the other end hung up the phone.

"How rude."

Lin Beixuan frowned and then dialed another number.

Although it is just a small shop, it has multiple supply channels. No one will rely on just one supplier. They will usually choose the one that offers the lowest price or discounts.

However, when the call was made, the response from the other end was surprising.

"Brother, what are the main things you import?"

"Mainly cigarettes, snacks, and drinks."

The person on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly: "I'm sorry, I'm out of stock of these things at the moment, so I can't send them to you right now."

"???"

Lin Beixuan said it was okay, hung up the phone, and dialed another number.

However, the answer from the other end was still similar, saying that cigarettes, snacks, and drinks are currently in short supply and it will take some time before they can be delivered.

Three suppliers were like this, and Lin Beixuan couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, what happened on your side? I asked several suppliers and the answer was the same."

After hearing Lin Beixuan ask this, the other end was silent for a moment and then told the reason of the matter.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about this matter. The main reason is that the matter is too strange. We dare not tell anyone. Now only the official personnel responsible for investigating this matter know the situation."

Hearing this answer, Lin Beixuan became even more confused.

"Strange things?" "Yes, I'll tell you the truth. During this period, snacks and drinks in Los Angeles may be in short supply. Downstream merchants are urging us to deliver the goods. In fact, we are also very distressed. If the goods are gone, we will lose a lot of money. Many people can't even continue their business."

Lin Beixuan knew that upstream retail suppliers all had large inventories and needed to rent warehouses to store them. They would then transfer them to downstream merchants to get the goods flowing. The amount of money involved was basically calculated in millions.

This money needs to circulate before it can finally return to the suppliers, and then they use the money to purchase goods from major manufacturers, layer by layer, and make money from the price difference in the middle.

"Then why did this thing disappear?" Lin Beixuan asked in surprise.

“This is what’s weird!”

The voice on the other end of the phone trembled, with indescribable shock in the tone.

"Overnight, most of the goods in the entire retail warehouse were gone, and snacks, drinks and cigarettes were basically all gone!"

"Could it be that there was a thief?" Lin Beixuan realized something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth. What kind of thief could empty most of the warehouse in one night?

Another sigh came from the other end: "If it was a thief, it would be fine. There are surveillance cameras in the warehouse, and moving so much goods would definitely leave clues, but the weird thing is that the goods disappeared out of thin air.

The person guarding the warehouse was sitting inside and watching, but when the lights were suddenly turned off, the goods disappeared without leaving any trace, as if there was nothing there in the first place.

For those in the retail supply business, cigarettes, snacks and drinks already take up the bulk of the warehouse. The disappearance of these things out of thin air is a huge loss for the boss, and he still has no place to seek redress.

Listening to the helpless sigh from the other end of the phone, Lin Beixuan said a few words of comfort, then hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps it's not just the three companies he called. Most of the retail suppliers in Los Angeles are affected by this situation. Millions of goods have disappeared out of thin air, and some companies without much financial resources will find it difficult to survive and avoid bankruptcy.

Most of the goods in the warehouse disappeared...

It is obviously impossible for someone to do it manually. Not only is there surveillance in the warehouse, but there are also people guarding it 24 hours a day. It would be impossible for them to avoid both and steal so many things in an instant.

Lin Beixuan guessed that the first target was those worldly sons like him.

Because only this kind of people in this world could possess such miraculous skills.

Most of the warehouse was emptied in the blink of an eye. What a great skill this person must have!
Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan immediately opened the website of the two-world communication group to check the latest news about Luocheng.

I logged in and searched for Los Angeles, and sure enough, the most popular post was about a large number of thefts at suppliers' warehouses in Los Angeles.

[If someone says that this was not done by some big shot, I will live stream myself doing a handstand and eating shit. What kind of thing can empty the entire warehouse in an instant?]

[The above is getting anxious. How can you say that it is our secular son? Who is so bored that they would do such a thankless job? If they really want to make money, there are plenty of ways to do it! ]

[That can't be said. There are quite a few crazy old men among that group of secular sons. They rely on their seniority and strength to do all kinds of evil.]

[I heard that the authorities have sent people to investigate, and the results will be out soon. It's just a pity that I haven't been able to smoke during this period.]

[Wait... Haven't you ever thought that it could be an evil spirit from the secular world? ]

Lin Beixuan looked at the last post and found that there were very few comments, most of which were sarcastic and mocking.

"Would an evil spirit smoke or eat instant noodles? It would be more convenient for it to secretly kill a person and devour his spirit and soul than to steal those things."

"If I were a ghost, the first thing I would do is go to the women's room and see if there is a urinal in there!"

……

The husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons, and the post is very lively.

However, these people have the mentality of not caring about anything. To them, the theft in the supplier's warehouse has nothing to do with them.

What people like is just to eat melons.
