Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions

Chapter 4: Purchasing Resources on a Large Scale

After signing the contract and Ye Xingchen had paid the ten million, the manager finally felt at ease, completely dismissing the idea that Ye Xingchen was just playing around.

However, a new thought emerged in the manager's mind – this young man before him most likely had some issues in his head.

He cautiously asked, "Sir, may I ask why you want to build such a doomsday bunker?"

Ye Xingchen thought for a moment before giving a reminder, "The apocalypse will arrive in a month. If you believe me, stock up on supplies and find a safe shelter."

The manager paused briefly and then laughed awkwardly, "You really have a sense of humor."

Meanwhile, he had concluded that Ye Xingchen must have some kind of mental problem; otherwise, how could he utter such absurd words?

Ye Xingchen noticed the manager's thoughts but didn't say anything more. He had done all he could; how long he could survive after the apocalypse arrived would depend on his luck.

Leaving the construction company, Ye Xingchen received a message from Chen Rou'er.

[I was really testing you before. Why don't you understand my intentions? After thinking it over, I may have gone a bit too far. I've decided to be your girlfriend. Can we meet up?]

"Such a good actress, pretending so well!"

Ye Xingchen sneered, deleted her from his contacts, and then drove towards Jinghai Pedestrian Street.

The chain of supermarkets under him focused on fresh produce and daily goods, lacking clothing, shoes, and entertainment and fitness equipment.

To thrive during the apocalypse, these things were essential; a sufficient stockpile was a must.

On the other side, Chen Rou'er was waiting for Ye Xingchen's reply.

After being humiliated by Ye Xingchen at Shangri-La Hotel at noon, she was initially extremely angry, hating him to death.

However, as she calmed down, she started to reflect on her actions over the years. She realized that what she had done might not have been very clever. Anyone who invested so much time without getting any response would naturally harbor resentment.

Her goal was to find a second-generation millionaire with at least a billion assets, achieving a complete social elevation. Ye Xingchen was clearly too far away from her goal.

But she did need a cash machine to package herself, presenting herself as a high-end individual beyond the reach of ordinary people, which would give her a chance to interact with more successful individuals.

So, she decided to continue stringing Ye Xingchen along.

She believed that given Ye Xingchen's behavior as a lapdog over the past few years, as long as she agreed to be his girlfriend, he would surely turn into a lapdog once again.

In her view, agreeing to be Ye Xingchen's girlfriend wasn't a big deal. At most, they would hold hands, hug, and maybe even kiss. As for her body, that was out of the question!

However, an hour had passed since she sent the message, and there was still no reply from Ye Xingchen. She began to feel doubtful.

Could he really have given up?

But then she quickly dismissed that idea.

No way!

Absolutely impossible!

That lapdog who's been groveling at my feet for so many years, how could he give up now?

"Hmph, trying to play the game of cat and mouse with me? You're a bit too inexperienced. In this regard, this girl is a master!"

With a cold sneer, Chen Rou'er quickly composed a message.

[Ye Xingchen, why aren't you replying to my messages? I didn't mind being humiliated by you in front of all those people today. Why are you being so petty? If you're going to be like this, I'll have to reconsider whether I want to be your girlfriend or not!]

After editing, Chen Rou'er carefully read through the message. It maintained her dignity while also giving Ye Xingchen an opportunity to save face.

She was quite satisfied with the wording.

"Hmph, Ye Xingchen, no matter how you struggle, in the end, you'll be under my control, won't you?"

With a cold chuckle, Chen Rou'er clicked the send button.

The next moment, she froze in place, gradually revealing an angry expression, and let out a scream, "Ye Xingchen, how dare you delete me!"

Having said that, she immediately dialed Ye Xingchen's phone number.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen had already arrived at the pedestrian street, preparing to visit a large store specializing in high-end fitness equipment.

During the apocalypse, it was crucial to maintain a strong physique to withstand various unknown dangers.

In his previous life, he was always on the brink of starvation and didn't have the luxury to consider working out, let alone conserving energy.

But things were different now. With abundant resources, he had to keep his body in peak condition at all times.

As he entered the store, his phone rang.

He glanced at it – it was a call from Chen Rou'er.

"Persistent as ever!"

Ye Xingchen sneered, hung up the call directly, and then blocked her number.

At this moment, a young woman in tight sportswear, her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, exuding youthful energy, walked over with a smile on her face.

"Sir, what would you like to buy? We have the most comprehensive collection of fitness equipment in the entire Jinghai City!"

Since Ye Xingchen had come here directly, he naturally knew this. He didn't waste words and said directly, "The most high-end fitness equipment in every category, bring me ten sets of each."

The young girl was momentarily stunned, almost not believing her ears. She asked in disbelief, "Sir, did you just say that?"

Ye Xingchen felt somewhat helpless, he slowed down his speech and said seriously, "The most high-end fitness equipment in every category, bring me ten sets of each. Generate the invoice immediately; I'll make the payment right away."

The reason he was buying ten sets was that he wasn't certain how long the Ice Age would last; it might even be a lifetime.

He needed to ensure that if one piece of equipment malfunctioned, he'd have a backup since he wasn't capable of repairing them himself.

Once she confirmed, the stunned expression on the young girl's face gradually disappeared, replaced by shock. Her face turned red due to excitement.

"Great! You... just wait! I'll generate the invoice for you!"

The young woman was so excited she was nearly incoherent. A wealthy customer like this, who didn't even bother to haggle over the price, was truly rare.

Selling so many pieces of fitness equipment would earn her a substantial commission. While she couldn't calculate the exact amount, it was at least equivalent to her year's salary.

"Manager Wang! Manager Wang! Huge order! Huge order!"

The young woman exclaimed, instantly causing a commotion in the entire store. Everyone looked over with puzzled expressions.

Manager Wang's face darkened as he scolded, "Why are you making such a fuss? What kind of order could make you so excited?"

The young woman joyfully said, "All the most high-end fitness equipment on-site, ten sets of each!"

Then Manager Wang also froze for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you not joking!?"

What they sold here were high-end fitness equipment. The most expensive Taino Health treadmill cost over 240,000 yuan. This wasn't the kind of equipment that only cost a few thousand yuan.

If all the equipment was being purchased in tens, wouldn't that be six to seven million yuan at least?!

This could certainly be considered a massive order!

Hearing their conversation, everyone in the store showed expressions of shock.

"Oh my, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

"Buying so much high-end fitness equipment just to exercise?!"

"I bet he's opening a high-end gym; who else would buy such high-end fitness equipment for personal use?!"

"That makes sense!"

"..."
