When Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen arrived, the staff were very pleased. “The test results are out. I was just about to notify you.”
It was truly unexpected that all results were qualified.
This was a timely blessing, solving the urgent needs of the base factory, and the machines were rumbling day and night.
Working in shifts 24 hours a day, they raced against time with natural disasters, built more ships, escape pods, and submarines, and worked to save more lives.
After confirming the receipt, signing, and stamping, Jiang Ning took the documents to the points redemption center. The staff’s eyes widened as they repeatedly checked the documents and confirmed that the system had indeed recorded nine digits worth of points.
Impressive; this is the richest scavenger in history. No, it should be said that apart from the base, Jiang Ning is the richest individual.
The staff smiled and reminded her that there were too many points on the card, so it was best to spend them in time.
Wealthy and confident, Jiang Ning strode towards the official mall.
She didn’t check the calendar before going out, and she saw Chen Yanfei’s displeased face as soon as she entered.
When Chen Yanfei saw Jiang Ning, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
This time, Jiang Ning wasn’t disheveled; her face was fair and clean, clearly well-maintained. Although she was slightly younger than Jiang Ning, the harsh disaster had left her with little visible damage.
Compared to Jiang Ning, Chen Yanfei, who often felt superior in front of her colleagues, had now appeared instantly less appealing.
Unfortunately, the chatty colleague couldn’t hold back. When she saw Jiang Ning, she was extremely surprised and couldn’t help gossiping, “Yanfei, is this your sister? She is so young and beautiful, and she looks like you.”
“I don’t know her.” Chen Yanfei almost vomited blood and quickly turned her face away, “My mother only gave birth to me; don’t talk nonsense.”
“Oh my god, you look too much alike.” The colleague’s mouth wouldn’t shut up, “But it seems that you look more like Aunt Song.”
Song Yaling came to the mall yesterday to bring snacks for Chen Yanfei. Everyone in the mall got a share, so she made a great impression.
Though it was meant to be delivering snacks, it was actually to clean up after Chen Yanfei, who had offended quite a few customers in a short period.
The mall staff had a keen eye. Seeing that Chen Yanfei’s expression is not right, she knows that she is definitely acquainted with the customer and probably has a grudge.
With three women involved, no matter if it was a disaster or end times, conflicts and grievances would persist.
Despite her usually cheerful demeanor, He Qing wouldn’t miss a chance to dig at her, especially since Chen Yanfei had stepped on her a few times.
He Qing seized the opportunity, exaggerating, “Oh my, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you two were twins.”
Chen Yanfei was so angry that she gritted her teeth, “I said I don’t know her; what do you mean by that?”
Sister Liu, who was not far away, glared at her, “Why are you standing there? Didn’t you see a customer coming in?”
He Qing was quick-witted and immediately greeted Jiang Ning enthusiastically, “Welcome, how can I help you?”
Jiang Ning got straight to the point, “I want a submarine.”
“Ah?” He Qing was dumbfounded and didn’t react for a while.
“Not selling?” Jiang Ning asked, “But it’s all listed on the transaction screen; are you sure you don’t want to sell it?”
“Sell, sell.” He Qing woke up as if from a dream, “But the submarine requires nine-digit points.”
Jiang Ning didn’t blink. “That’s fine.”
The customer was so wealthy that He Qing was at a loss, so she quickly called the team leader Sister Liu over.
Sister Liu was calm and polite. “Submarines are indeed for sale, but we need to verify your points card first.”
She had encountered all kinds of customers. They started by clamoring to buy airplanes and submarines, and kept asking for a long time, but the points card was still in the single digits.
Therefore, if the value of the purchased items exceeds seven digits, they must verify their points cards first to avoid mistakes.
Jiang Ning had no objection and handed over the black gold card.
That’s right, seven-digit points are silver cards, eight-digit points are gold cards, and nine-digit points are black gold cards.
Sister Liu’s expression changed when she saw the brand-new black gold card.
But she reacted quickly and smiled enthusiastically. “Please come this way.”
Not only Sister Liu but other staff were also shocked. They had worked in the mall for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen a black gold card.
“Look, the first black gold card at the base has really appeared.”
The staff discussed it one after another, and Chen Yanfei almost fainted.
Black gold card? Why? Why did Jiang Ning have it!
Sister Liu swiped her card to confirm the points. “Comrade Jiang, submarines are strategic weapons. Purchasing one requires an application. Are you sure you want to proceed?”
Jiang Ning had come here just for the submarine.
“Yes, please.”
“Please wait a moment.”
Sister Liu walked into the office and contacted the strategic department with the intercom.
Half an hour later, she came out and said with a smile, “Comrade Jiang, submarines are available for sale. When do you need them?”
“I’m ready anytime, but I don’t know how to drive it.”
“Don’t worry. After you buy them, a coach will teach you. It will take about a week.”
Jiang Ning couldn’t wait. “Swipe the card.”
The submarine was just a gimmick to motivate scavengers, but Jiang Ning didn’t expect the transaction to actually succeed.
Sister Liu took a deep breath and swiped her black gold card to deduct points. “There are still a lot of points on the card. Do you need to buy anything else?”
Jiang Ning was not satisfied with the escape pod and wanted to buy airplanes and ships, but she didn’t have enough points. She didn’t have any other needs for the time being. “No, I’ll check later.”
Sister Liu took out the submarine operating manual and handed it over. “We can arrange to practice on the submarine tomorrow. This is the operating manual. You can go back and familiarize yourself with it first.”
Unexpectedly, the transaction was completed so smoothly.
But this was just the beginning. Learning to operate the submarine and securing it was the real success.
After agreeing on a training time for the following day, Jiang Ning thanked her and left without even glancing at Chen Yanfei.
He Qing wanted to find an opportunity to mock Chen Yanfei, but she didn’t dare to be presumptuous considering the black gold card customer was too formidable to offend.
After the people left, she asked curiously, “Sister Liu, are they the scavengers who have been rumored to bring back a large number of rare metals these days?”
“Stop gossiping and get back to work.”
In fact, Sister Liu had figured out that Jiang Ning was the customer who had clashed with Chen Yanfei a few days ago. She was surprised at how young and beautiful Jiang Ning looked.
It might have been an illusion, but besides looking like the chief’s wife, Jiang Ning seemed to have some resemblance to the chief himself.
It’s not that they look alike, but they both have a natural presence.
Sister Liu shook off the strange thoughts in her mind and went back to work.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat. Jiang Ning didn’t want to stay outside, so she quickly left the trading center with Huo Yishen.
As they reached the door, a voice suddenly called out, “Instructor Huo, Sister Jiang?”

Please bear with me if I didn’t update right away 😅. I was either buried in work 💼… or buried in rereading the book 📖. (P.S. Most of the time I’m rereading it 🤭—so you know just how good the story is! 🌟)
