Chapter 3: Deceptive Pursuit and Zhang Yi's Subtle Revenge

Zhang Yi was extremely cold towards Fang Yuqing.

Fang Yuqing and Li Cainin also sensed that something was amiss. However, after mistaking Zhang Yi for a hidden rich second - generation heir, instead of being angry at Zhang Yi's attitude, the two of them actively came closer.

"Eh, Zhang Yi, were you just having a meal in this restaurant?" Li Cainin said in an affected nonchalant manner.

Zhang Yi frowned slightly. This woman was no good either, just as bad as Fang Yuqing. She also had a part in cheating him of his food and causing his death in the previous life.

"Yes," Zhang Yi replied coldly, then put his hands in his pockets and turned to walk towards the supermarket.

Fang Yuqing and Li Cainin quickly caught up.

"Zhang Yi, where are you going?" Fang Yuqing asked with a gentle smile on her face.

"To the supermarket," Zhang Yi's voice remained cold, with a tinge of impatience. If he hadn't wanted to make her experience the despair of the doomsday, he would have had the urge to kill her.

Fang Yuqing gave Li Cainin a look and quickly said, "What a coincidence. We were also planning to buy something. It's on the way!"

Zhang Yi had already figured it out by now. They must have seen him having a sumptuous meal in the Michelin - three - star restaurant and thus mistook him for a rich second - generation heir. That's why they were suddenly so enthusiastic towards him. He was too lazy to talk to them and just walked straight towards the supermarket.

But the more he behaved like this, the more Fang Yuqing and Li Cainin believed that he was a rich second - generation heir. Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant?

The two of them followed beside Zhang Yi. Fang Yuqing even got closer to Zhang Yi, sometimes deliberately touching him. When Zhang Yi looked at her, she would act shy and turn her head away, her face blushing as if she were really coy.

Zhang Yi sneered inwardly. You're such a green - tea bitch, and you're really good at acting. You could win an Oscar for Best Actress if you were in a movie.

Zhang Yi entered the supermarket and pushed a cart as he walked in.

Fang Yuqing and Li Cainin quickly pushed their carts and followed.

"Zhang Yi, were you having a meal with someone?" Fang Yuqing asked with a smile.

Zhang Yi walked towards the food section and said coldly, "Can't I eat by myself?"

Fang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Oh, I didn't mean that. It's just that the food there is quite expensive. I thought you were treating someone to a meal."

Li Cainin couldn't help asking, "Zhang Yi, your monthly salary is just over ten thousand yuan, right? This one meal cost you half a year's salary."

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"It seems your family left you a lot of money."

Fang Yuqing quickly glared at Li Cainin. Idiot. How could you ask such a question casually? As a top - notch green - tea bitch, the most important rule is to talk about feelings with the rich and money with the poor.

Li Cainin realized she had said something wrong and quickly tried to make up for it.

"Hahaha, I was just joking. Actually, we're all good friends. Money really doesn't matter."

But Zhang Yi didn't pay any attention to them at all.

He came to the food section and looked at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves as if he had entered a treasure house.

In his previous life, he had experienced the feeling of eating a packet of instant noodles for two days. So he had an infinite longing for food.

Zhang Yi directly walked to the shelf and stuffed the food on it into the cart one after another. He bought a large quantity of ham sausages, instant noodles, self - heating hot pots, and seasonings.

This action left Fang Yuqing and Li Cainin dumbfounded.

"Zhang Yi, you... why are you buying so much food? Are you going camping?"

"Yes," Zhang Yi replied indifferently.

Li Cainin became suspicious and whispered to Fang Yuqing, "Would a rich second - generation heir eat these when camping?"

Fang Yuqing was also a bit confused. But thinking about that Michelin - three - star meal, she was reluctant to give up the idea that Zhang Yi was a rich second - generation heir.

She ran to Zhang Yi and said eagerly, "Do you need any help?"

With free labor available, Zhang Yi had no reason not to use it. Moreover, looking at Fang Yuqing's fake - innocent smiling face, an idea of revenge emerged in Zhang Yi's mind. He just wanted to let Fang Yuqing know that he had stocked up a lot of supplies. Then, when the doomsday came and she came to beg him, he would reject her harshly.

A smile curved on Zhang Yi's lips. "Then you can help me push the cart."

Fang Yuqing quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yi also asked Li Cainin to get another cart.

Although the two of them were full of doubts in their hearts, they still did as they were told.

Zhang Yi bought a lot of storable food, including instant noodles, ham sausages, some cured meats, and cans. He also used a cart specifically for fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, and some live fish. He wanted to test whether his alternate space had any special effects on storing fresh food.

The three carts were filled to the brim. Zhang Yi specifically asked the two women to push the cart filled with beef, mutton, and cans. It weighed at least four to five hundred catties, making them sweat profusely.

Fang Yuqing complained a little, pouting and saying, "Zhang Yi, how many people are going to eat all this stuff? Are you having some event that you didn't tell me about?"

Zhang Yi sneered and said, "The end of the world is coming soon. I'm stocking up more things to get by."

Fang Yuqing just thought Zhang Yi was joking and said with a laugh, "Oh, forget it if you don't want to tell. Why make such a joke?"

"But I've helped you so much today. You have to treat me to a meal later!" Fang Yuqing's eyes were full of hints. She was looking forward to Zhang Yi taking her to the Michelin - three - star restaurant for a meal.

Zhang Yi's lips curled slightly. "Okay. But I'm quite busy recently and don't have much time. Next month."

Fang Yuqing said happily, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Li Cainin quickly chimed in, "Great, great. We'll go together, heehee!" She was very happy that she could have a great meal just by helping to push a cart.

Seeing that Li Cainin was so tactless, Fang Yuqing glared at her again. But Li Cainin just pretended not to see.

Zhang Yi went to pay the bill. This purchase of supplies cost more than ten thousand yuan. He paid without blinking an eye. One must know that in the apocalypse, the value of these supplies would increase by at least tens of thousands of times!

Since Zhang Yi bought a large quantity of goods, the supermarket readily lent him the carts for use.

Zhang Yi unceremoniously ordered the two women around, asking them to help him push the things home. Actually, he had a car and could have driven to take the things back. But with free labor available, why not use it?

Although the two women kept complaining that they were tired, when Zhang Yi promised to treat them to a great meal later, they immediately got motivated.

Thus, the three of them pushed three carts full of supplies and walked back to the community under the astonished gazes of passers - by.
