Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"Master Qiaopu, please give me another cup." Bai Yu, who exuded a decadent atmosphere, lowered his head and handed the empty cup in his hand to Master Qiaopu.

"Fufu, what happened? Why does Baiyu look so listless?" Chef Qiaopu took the cup, refilled it with milk, and handed it back. He asked Fufu, who was tucking into ramen, with some concern in his voice.

"Hmm..." Fu Fu swallowed the food in her mouth and thought about how to share their "wonderful" day with Master Qiao Pu.

"To put it simply, Xiaobai and I went to collect the debt, and in the end Xiaobai sold himself out."

"Huh?" Master Qiao Pu touched his ear after hearing this and asked in shock, "Did I hear correctly?! You guys failed to collect the debt and sold yourself out?"

"Xiao Bai sold himself out," Fu Fu corrected her seriously. However, the dangling legs under her chair betrayed her good mood, as she had seen enough of the excitement today.

"What's the difference between you and me? Don't we still go to work together?" Bai Yu took another sip of milk, looking sad as if he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

"This is Xiaobai's deal. It means Xiaobai sold us out. Anyway, Xiaobai lost completely today. Hehe~" Fufu thought about the developments of the day, unable to suppress her gloating smile. When they left this morning, none of them could have imagined that the "remuneration" received by Baizhi Heavy Industry would end up like this.

"...Are you so happy to see me get humiliated?" Bai Yu sat up straight, narrowed his eyes, and asked dangerously. He looked like he was going to make a scene if Fu Fu didn't answer him properly, which was very childish, and Master Qiao Pu was amused by it.

It seemed that the two children were not really in trouble, so Master Qiao Pu put his worries aside.

Bai Yu and Fu Fu had always eaten noodles at his shop since they met. As they spent time together, Chef Qiao Pu naturally knew about their situation. He inevitably worried about the two children, who were left without adult supervision.

But Bai Yu was a very opinionated child. When he was alone, he could manage his own affairs well. Later, when he had a younger sister, he still managed to take good care of her.

Even though Master Qiao Pu wanted to help, he couldn't intervene, so he could only tell them some gossips about life that only the locals knew and help with some insignificant little things.

But as he watched Bai Yu's life getting better and better, and his mental state becoming more relaxed, Master Qiao Pu became happy too.

Life is but a few decades long, and every encounter is fate.

Chef Qiao Pu has been running his shop for decades, welcoming countless customers. He cherishes the time he spends with his regular customers, and holds the simplest wish: that every one of his customers who comes to eat noodles will have a good meal.

And guests who are not visiting can also live a fulfilling and happy life in a place where he cannot see them.

As for the guests' secrets, Chef Qiaopu would only listen with a smile and never actively explore them. After all, it's rare for people to be ignorant.

"Oh~ It's rare for me to see Xiaobai so frustrated.

Xiaobai always looked confident no matter what he did.

Although plans always go wrong, the results are generally not too far from Xiaobai's expectations. Fu Fu hugged Bai Yu's arm flatteringly, leaning against him and said, "This is the first time that the result and process are beyond Xiaobai's predictions.

Although the original goal was achieved, Xiaobai didn't want to get involved with too many people, but it ended in complete failure.

And the reason for the failure was so unexpected.

Hahahaha~ It’s really funny! ” Fu Fu couldn’t help laughing and fell on Bai Yu’s shoulder.

Bai Yu glared at Fu Fu, who was laughing non-stop, and his cheeks puffed up with anger. Seeing her laughing so happily, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her face viciously.

But after a while, he couldn't help laughing too.

Thinking carefully about the nonsensical developments of the day, Bai Yu felt helpless. He wasn't some genius who could foresee everything. At most, he just made extra plans out of habit.

When the calculating and calculating ones are confronted with the reckless and frank enthusiasm, the only option is surrender.

Bai Yu couldn't refuse Baizhi Heavy Industry's generous reward, nor could he accept such a large and expensive gift with a clear conscience. He could only compensate Baizhi Heavy Industry's financial losses in his own way.

But Bai Yu couldn't take out Dinny to give to Keleda and the others. He guessed that even if he really took it out, they wouldn't accept it.

So Bai Yu came up with an idea. Many of Baizhi Heavy Industry's projects were carried out in the void.

Although they have their own engineers who can calculate and detect cavity information, their capabilities are definitely not as detailed as the system.

Therefore, after asking Fu Fu's opinion in his heart, Bai Yu temporarily joined the exploration team of Baizhi Heavy Industry on the grounds of "helping them earn enough funds as soon as possible to acquire the property he liked."

And this is not free. Baizhi Heavy Industry also has to pay Bai Yu and others the same salary as hiring a formal engineer.

In order to prove that he was capable of getting the salary, Bai Yu also asked Fu Fu to pack up the building information in the cave where they were previously and give it to Keleda as a "token of allegiance".

I hope this information can help Baizhi Heavy Industry successfully win the reconstruction bid.

After reading this information, Keleda and the others naturally welcomed Baiyu and Fufu to join them.

The few people who already had a good impression of them directly regarded the two of them as "family" like the brothers from Baizhi Heavy Industry.

And this is what Fu Fu calls selling oneself.

"Maybe, it's not a bad thing." Bai Yu let go of Fu Fu's cheek, raised his hand to touch her hair, and said softly: "We need a proper source of funds that can be obtained openly and not afraid of being detected, so that we can take out the money in the "Rope Net" account and spend it.

I was still having a headache. I didn’t expect that everything would be solved just like that.”

"An accidental encounter, a blessing in disguise?" Fu Fu rubbed Bai Yu's hand and made an analogy with him while smiling.

"It's Fu Fu who's blessed us." Bai Yu straightened Fu Fu's messed-up hair and said seriously, "This is all thanks to Fu Fu. Fu Fu is our greatest hero."

"Hehe~ No, that's not the case~ It's obviously Xiaobai's credit." Fu Fu felt embarrassed by the praise.

"Okay, it's all thanks to both of us. We are both great contributors!"

"Well, can you have another bowl of ramen, Great Contributor?"

"Hahaha~ Okay!

Chef Qiaopu——Two extra bowls of deluxe ramen——"

"Okay, two bowls of deluxe ramen."

The steaming water vapor, the rich aroma of ramen soup, the smiling faces of people around me and this orange-red evening.

The treasure known as happiness lies hidden in these ordinary moments, becoming a solid anchor for a person's foothold in the world. It fills the "empty hole" in the heart, freeing it from wandering and allowing it to stand firmly on the earth.
