Our country has the power to handle this snow disaster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, all problems will be resolved smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, if anyone needs supplies, those who can help, please do. After all, this snow disaster will soon pass, and there's no need to hoard supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, very few responded to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, after two days with no signs of the snow disaster ending, many people were beginning to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing sent Zhang Yi another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. Fang Yuqing probably thought Chen Zhenghao had already dealt with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t believe Fang Yuqing was genuinely concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that's good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing was actually a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she quickly added, \"We've run out of food at home. I remember you bought a lot of stuff. Can you give me some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll treat you to a meal later, okay? ღ( ´･ᴗ･` )\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi's lips curled into a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is too apparent that this woman had a motive for contacting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that during their last trip to the supermarket, Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin had also bought some supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn't buy as much as he did, it was enough to last more than two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that was a long time ago. I didn't keep those things at home. Honestly, I don't have much either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing persisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how about a few packs of instant noodles? You manage a warehouse, so you must have plenty at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi responded bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don't have any instant noodles left. Look, I have to make do with these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a picture of his table, laden with Australian lobster and Wagyu steak, and sent it to Fang Yuqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Fang Yuqing’s eyebrows shot up in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you, Zhang Yi! What do you mean by this? Are you trying to provoke me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, her friend Lin Cainin peeked out from under the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was too cold, the two of them were sharing a bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the delicious food in the picture, Lin Cainin's eyes gleamed with envy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pampered women never cooked for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They always ordered takeout or had men treat them to meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy snow had trapped them in the city, leaving them to subsist on instant noodles and canned food they usually wouldn't touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Yi enjoying lobster and steak, the two women were both angry and envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were angry because Zhang Yi was indulging alone and not offering them any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin immediately commented sourly, \"Wow, Zhang Yi is too much! He has all this good food and didn't think of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to think he used to say he liked you. Hmph, he's totally insincere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing was equally displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't the first time Zhang Yi had sent her such pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Zhang Yi was deliberately provoking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she believed Zhang Yi still liked her and was just trying to make her yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, foolish! Does he think a bit of food will make me his girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi, you are too naive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing dismissed him with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a proud gold digger, she needed to maintain her aloof image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sight of Zhang Yi's food made her hunger impossible to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin, understanding her well, suggested, \"Yuqing, why not tell Zhang Yi you’ll have dinner with him? But make him provide the food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, you keep your dignity and get to enjoy lobster and steak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sure he'll be thrilled to agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing frowned, considering the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, Zhang Yi was just a high-level backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was handsome and had some wealth, he was far from her ideal of a wealthy and powerful man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As in regular days, she would never lower herself for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she was tired of eating instant noodles and canned food every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll give him a chance to have dinner with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing reluctantly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up her phone and sent Zhang Yi a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi, it’s been a while since we hung out. How about coming over for dinner tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi laughed when he saw the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Did you prepare me for dinner? Sure, many thanks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This response made Fang Yuqing's face turn pale with anger, though it could also be from the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fumed at Lin Cainin, \"Zhang Yi is so ungrateful! I gave him a chance to have dinner with me, and he expects me to host!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin was equally taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't expected the formerly eager-to-please Zhang Yi to be so difficult now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, could a simp really grow a backbone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing threw her phone aside in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi, I originally planned to keep you as a backup. Now you’ll have to take a backseat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm truly angry now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I won’t speak to him again. Even if he begs, it won't help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin, though craving the food, agreed and fanned the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, he should know his place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to pursue you while being so stingy? Such a man deserves to be single forever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two continued to curse Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Fang Yuqing kept checking her phone, expecting an apology from Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no messages came, darkening her mood further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Cainin decided to take matters into her own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She secretly messaged Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi, you’re so foolish! Yuqing is upset. Do you realize how serious this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi saw the message and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading chat group messages had become a form of entertainment for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could be more intriguing than human nature revealed during an apocalypse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading through Lin Cainin’s message, Zhang Yi laughed even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Playing good cop, bad cop, huh? You two really know how to put on a show!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long seen through their scheming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin usually acted as the go-between to maintain Fang Yuqing's pure goddess image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking for gifts or hinting for Zhang Yi to spend money on Fang Yuqing were always Lin Cainin's jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-06-03T02:47:18.755Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","b94f6e062660c32a1087ecb2c68059982ca7ef3ebaa95293d05e781dd40d2a99","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-22","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-20",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
