A lot of staff have been questioning where they came from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Qin's question made him stand still in silence as he thought of a way to cover up, but it was just too hard to hide, considering her role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Catch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun threw out a pen and a Beretta 92, her face quickly went from shock to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, commander.\" Hou Qin quietly murmured as she looked a little relieved to learn the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell anyone else this... And you can keep that pistol as a self-defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him walk out of the room, her heart couldn't stop racing as she put both of them on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rumors really are true... Is this what it feels to have a gift from someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun exited the logistics office, he ran right into someone around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for the other person, they fell onto the floor and felt almost like running into a brick wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the paper scattered all over the floor, Xiaoyun quickly helped the person back up before gathering the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry about that... Wait, this Yiming report?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes, commander, \" the staff member nervously said after noticing who he had bumped into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll give it over to Hou Qin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly took all of the paper and dismissed the staff before heading back to Hou Qin's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yiming's report, you can read it first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, Xiaoyun quickly put the paper onto the table, turning around to face against the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind started racing, and he could not believe what Hou Qin was doing in the office with his gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C-Commander, y-you didn't see anything, right?\" Hou Qin nervously asked as she stuttered several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. I saw nothing... Can I turn around now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back around, Hou Qin's pants were back to her waist, but the strand of clear liquid on the pen told an 'exploration' story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand everyone has their needs... Let's just get back to work right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Qin quickly grabbed the paper on the table, taking a read of it as her face turned back to serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she had finished reading it, he finally took a look at it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a status report with lists of supplies requested, from ammos to uniforms to even delivering soldier's mail to their family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, it also stated that massive loads of supplies were being shipped back to Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale was bigger than Xiaoyun had ever imagined—an entire cargo ship full of canned food untapped in a Dongguan port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the food was still fine, Yiming's number was hundreds of thousands of tons, more than enough to feed Luoping for a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was a slight hurdle: the logistics of moving so much food would severely delay their operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hou Qin, what do you think of this report?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good news. But it's going to be a long fight trying to get all that food down from the ship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sure Yiming has a plan for that, or else he would already be asking us for help rather than just sending us a reminder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the room fell into silence, Xiaoyun could feel a slight awkwardness as there wasn't much to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yiming had done such a great job that there was literally nothing he could say or even write other than praises that he could do after they came back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, have you thought of expanding the military again?\" Hou Qin suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just heard from a lot of staff that there are a lot of unemployed people in Guangdong who can't find a job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we get this much food, then it won't be a problem anymore. Not to mention, this food would help greatly to fund it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, Xiaoyun nodded in agreement. Food is and always will be the literal gold standard of his currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more food he had, the more money he could print without worrying about inflation, allowing him to resolve the unemployment issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll talk to Yuqi about it on Monday. No, I'll just tell her about this right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun got up from the office chair and was getting ready to leave, he suddenly turned back around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something wrong, sir?\" Hou Qin curiously asked after noticing him staring at her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... I know that kind of stuff is hard to come by. And don't take this the wrong way, but I don't want my head of logistics to hurt herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him clarifying himself as he created a paper bag, she became curious about what was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't open it until I leave... Think of this gift as a friend, no romantic or any of that sort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double clarification confused her even more, but Xiaoyun couldn't stay in the room any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's inside this?\" Hou Qin wondered as she watched him rush out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After grabbing the paper bag from the table, she quickly took a look inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face instantly started to blush, realizing why he clarified twice in a row just for this gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder why he didn't want me to take it the wrong way... He's just giving me this as a friend and nothing else, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Qin murmured to herself as she quickly closed the paper bag, her heart still racing as she couldn't believe the gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is what they call sexual harassment in the workplace? But I was the one who tried to use the pen like an idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly shaking her head, she kicked all of her weird thoughts out as she grabbed the original copy of Yiming's report and went back to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun exited the logistics office and began walking back home, his mind was starting to regret giving that gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What am I thinking? Am I brain-damaged? What kind of boss give that kind of stuff to their workers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knocking on his head several times, he gave up trying to think of a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do now was hope that Hou Qin didn't take it the wrong way, as he in no way was looking for a relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's already satisfied with nine wives, not to mention his wives already forcing him to be set up with Lily sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, no sane person would take that kind of gift as a proposal or romantic gift, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he convinced himself inside his head, he had finally arrived back home before six o'clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back! What was the emergency?\" Nami curiously asked as she opened the door for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just battlefield reports from Lingang and Yiming... Anyway, is dinner cooked yet? I'm getting kind of hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom just started cooking. It's probably going to be in about an hour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine. Where is everyone?\" Xiaoyun asked after noticing everyone seemed to be missing in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are in the backyard. It's a lot cooler outside with the wind.\" Nami explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you in the living room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I don't like walking. You got a problem——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nami could finish talking, Xiaoyun quickly lifted to give her a piggyback ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to bring the princess to the backyard,\" Xiaoyun said out loud as he started walking towards the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun heard Nami's whisper, but he didn't answer back as he continued walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Xiaoyun, can you get some spring onion from the backyard?\" Leyan asked after noticing the two walking past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sliding the glass door aside, the cold afternoon wind immediately made the May heat disappear completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put me down already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad... You and Yuqi really act so similar sometimes.\" Xiaoyun murmured as he suddenly had a flashback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really have to mention another woman when you're with me?\" Nami angrily knocked onto his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch——My bad. I didn't think you would be sour over your older sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun continued walking along the stone-paved road, he finally saw his wives all sitting underneath the gazebo with the babies in their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently puts Nami down into one of the chairs as Anna quickly handed Xuanhua over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's your work?\" Yuqi curiously asked right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All good news... You're going to have fun the next Monday.\" Xiaoyun answered as he decided to delay the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? What kind of good news could make her have fun?\" Yueyue curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Works that you would hate to do... Actually, you're probably going to have some work, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds exciting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talking about work. It's the weekend.\" Wuli interrupted, ending it before the two of them could ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to sit and relax in one of the seats, Kate suddenly jumped onto his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun! Guess what?\" Kate excitedly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anna, you aren't going to tell him? Or do you want me to tell it?\" Kate asked, looking over to Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can say it...\" Anna shyly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1540,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","83c93d66c5921ee287e4cf5dfd596076387287c980a24dfb95466fe0b33b4bee","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-490","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-488",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
