In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

At 10:30 a.m., Hongtang arrived at the company at a leisurely pace.

As soon as Manager Tang Li saw Hong Tang, she launched into a tirade of criticism and lecture. The two had always been at odds and had argued frequently. Hong Tang, who had come to resign, was naturally unafraid of her, and this time the argument escalated even further.

The argument only ended when Hongtang revealed the purpose of her visit.

Upon hearing that Hongtang wanted to resign, Tang Li was taken aback at first, then her eyes flickered, and she said coldly, "The Beishan Villa project is not finished yet. If you resign now, you won't get any bonus."

For some reason, Hongtang saw a hint of "anger at her lack of ambition" in Tang Li's eyes. Was this a sign that she didn't understand why she had so easily given up a good project that others would kill for?

Actually, Tang Li isn't a bad person at heart; she was the one who mentored me when I first joined the company. She's just too impulsive and domineering. But failing to secure the Beishan villa project has always been a source of frustration for her. Now that I've resigned, she can take over.

After completing the formalities, Hongtang was called to the general manager's office again.

The general manager is a mild-mannered middle-aged man with excellent abilities and character, and is very well-known in the industry.

"Xiao Tang, why are you resigning so suddenly? Is there something wrong at work, or are you having difficulties in your life? If you need my help in the future, just come to me." The general manager understood that Tang Li and Hong Tang's frequent disagreements were just everyday bickering and didn't involve any matters of principle.

“I just feel that the world is so big, and I want to take advantage of my youth to go and see it.” Hongtang quoted a classic resignation quote from two thousand years ago.

"Moreover, wars are raging all over the world right now, while our Dragon Kingdom is peaceful and prosperous. We should look around even more, because who knows if we'll have the chance in the future? Besides, if we ever get the chance to go to the Blue Planet, we might not be able to come back for a while."

The general manager was amused by Hong Tang's half-joking remark and laughed as well. "You really dare to think outside the box. Sigh, I can't keep up with your young people's thinking. But I do have quite a few orders here. If you want to take on private projects, you can give them to me." The general manager handed Hong Tang a stack of documents.

"The Beishan Villas project, what a coincidence?" Hongtang asked in surprise, as she was familiar with the place.

"I'll take this order. General Manager, you're such a great person. No wonder you're the top figure in our industry." Hongtang showered him with compliments.

"Hehe, stop flattering me. The client is my friend. Do a good job on this project. As a senior colleague, I have high hopes for you."

After leaving the company, Hongtang accidentally discovered that Tang Li and Butler Li (a former client of Hongtang's villa project) were meeting at the coffee shop downstairs.

I never expected that Tang Li would take over my client so soon after I resigned and walked out of the building. She really is amazing!

But their furtive behavior piqued Hongtang's curiosity, so she leaned over and used her mental energy to investigate.

Half an hour passed, and the two of them remained silent, engrossed in their documents.

Finally, the butler inexplicably said, "This matter is known only to you and me," and the two parted ways.

After the first attempt to eavesdrop failed, Hongtang returned home.

Along the way, she stopped at a mortgage company and mortgaged her RV for 2.4 million yuan. It wasn't until the RV was appraised that she learned its original price was nearly 5 million yuan, and it was in 90% new condition with Level 3 bulletproof protection throughout. The only downside was that this particular model was discontinued, so she couldn't mortgage much more.

Hongtang was quite surprised to be able to borrow 260 million yuan. She thought she could only borrow 50 yuan at most, since she only spent 100 million yuan when she bought it.

That rich kid is a car expert; he couldn't possibly have made a mistake with the price. Could he have done it on purpose?

But why?

After leaving the mortgage company, Hongtang found a popular restaurant and treated herself to a delicious meal. She packed up the leftovers to take home and stored them in a secluded spot.

I can't cook, and due to limited funds, I only collected the essential supplies before; I hadn't had time to collect ready-to-eat meals like these. Now that I have money again, I can start stockpiling.

"Bang...biu biu!" Two cars collided at the intersection.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone on the street was startled. But some people quickly reacted, taking the initiative to direct traffic or call the police and ambulances. Others went over to check on the driver's injuries. Most people simply stopped and watched.

Traffic police arrived quickly. Fortunately, all five people in the two vehicles were unharmed, with only one person suffering a minor abrasion on the back of their hand.

The discussion among onlookers shifted from "no one was hurt" to "these two cars are really crash-resistant".

Hongtang silently noted down the brands of the cars: Wuling and WV.

The former is a domestically produced "miracle car," a name that resonates like thunder, while the latter is unheard of. A quick search reveals it's also a domestically produced car with an exceptionally high cost-performance ratio.

I quickly took a taxi to the 4S store in the south of the city and bought two amazing cars, both the top-of-the-line models that run on gasoline. The Wuling is a 7-seater minivan for less than 10 yuan, and the WV Mountain is 20 yuan. The two cars cost a total of 30 yuan, paid in installments (*^▽^*).

I'll drive one car myself, and have the salesperson drive the other. We'll park them both in the underground parking lot of the complex where they won't be caught on camera. Tonight, I'll put the WV away. I'll keep the minivan to carry the medicinal herb seedlings.

Back home, Hongtang quickly took a shower and changed her clothes. The temperature was over 40°C today, and her clothes were already soaked with sweat.

With the air conditioning on full blast, Hongtang stood directly beneath it, facing the direct airflow. She had considered using a cooling furnace, but the current temperature was still within tolerable limits. Extreme weather was the norm in the post-apocalyptic world, and she had to adapt quickly and not rely too much on external aids; she would only use them if absolutely necessary.

I took out half a chilled watermelon from my storage space and scooped it out with a spoon. The sweet and refreshing flesh burst with juice in my mouth, a truly delightful and cool experience.

Knowing that her refrigerator was empty, Hongtang decided to go on a big shopping spree at the mall that evening.

At this time, Mr. Zhao, a Chinese medicine merchant, called to say that the first batch of seedlings had been shipped and would arrive as early as the day after tomorrow, asking her for a delivery address. Hongtang provided the car dealership's address and transferred 40 yuan to Mr. Zhao as previously agreed.

Unless he's modifying his own car, the rich kid usually doesn't go to the car dealership; Uncle Chen makes all the decisions.

Before going to the mall, go and tell him that when the goods arrive, you can drive your minivan there to pick them up.

Remembering the client at the Beishan Villa that the general manager had mentioned, Hongtang called the number. The reply was that the person was on a business trip out of province and would return on June 15th; they could contact her again if needed.

Okay, that's all for now. We'll see how things go later.

After finishing the watermelon, Hongtang started placing orders on food delivery platforms, ordering one portion from every restaurant with a rating of 4.9 or higher. She planned to try them out tonight and then order more from the ones she liked. However, fearing suspicion, she only ordered from 10 restaurants.

Seeing that it was almost time, I changed my clothes and went downstairs, but the outside temperature was a bit daunting.

First, I went down to the underground parking lot and put the WV into my storage space. Then, after thinking about it, I put the RV in too. For the near future, I'll be using the remaining minivan.

As Hongtang exited the residential compound, she noticed Han Ya ahead of her and instinctively tried to avoid her. Only after Han Ya had disappeared from sight did she leave.

Then he asked himself in confusion, why was he avoiding her?
