nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nBlack Rock City.

nNew Calendar Year 5, March 4th, 7 AM.

nAs the bell in the city rang, the tall city gates slowly opened.

nA large crowd had already gathered, eager to enter the city.

n“Backoff, back off!”

nThe city guards were wielding guns, kept shouting and pushing the chaotic crowd back a few meters.

nAfter much effort, they managed to get the people entering the city to form a long queue.

n“Those who want to enter the city, come here to exchange for Black Stone currency first. The entry fee is 100…”

nAt the city gate, several people dressed in Black Stone City uniforms had already started their shift, setting up a table with a list of exchange rates.

nIt detailed the prices for exchanging various kinds of supplies for Black Stone currency. However, few people would exchange here due to the high rates; only a few uninformed outsiders would do so.

nMost people entering the city had already exchanged Black Stone currency in various camps outside the city.

nMeng Xian was currently in the queue to enter the city. She followed the line for nearly half an hour before it was finally her turn.

nAfter paying 100 Black Stone currency, she was informed she could only stay in the city for one day.

n“Beauty, want to buy a house?”

n“Beauty, interested in Black Stone City residency?”

nJust a few steps in, several agents approached her and inquiring about her needs.

nMeng Xian dismissed these people one by one and headed towards the Reed Group’s base.

nThe Reed Group’s base was large in significant area in the city with a magnificent building bustling with people coming and going.

n“Hello, my name is Meng Xian, I’m here to see Manager Huang…”

n“Looking for Manager Huang?”

nA staff member was sizing up Meng Xian. Seeing her attractiveness, he believed her and asked her to wait.

nSoon, a middle-aged man came running over excitedly.

n“Meng Xian, have you finally come around?”

nThere was a hint of disgust in the depths of Meng Xian’s eyes, but considering she needed a favor, she patiently asked, “Can we talk somewhere else?”

n“Of course, of course, follow me to my office!”

nManager Huang couldn’t hide his joy and quickly led the way down a corridor.

nThe office was not small, about ten meters square, with a desk and many documents. A young woman in a black silk uniform was organizing files at the desk.

n“She’s my secretary, don’t get the wrong idea!” Manager Huang quickly explained and waved his secretary out.

nThe secretary gave him a resentful look, then turned her attention to Meng Xian. Seeing the scar on Meng Xian’s eye, she was taken aback.

nShe didn’t understand why Manager Huang was so concerned about such a wild woman.

nMeng Xian remained expressionless and chose to ignore it.

n“Hey, close the door!” The secretary deliberately left the door open as she left, causing Manager Huang some dissatisfaction. Seeing that the secretary didn’t come back to close it, he had to trot over and glare at the secretary outside before quickly closing the door.

nTurning back and looking at the figure he’d been dreaming of, he swallowed nervously and excitedly said, “Meng Xian, whatever you ask, just say it…”

n“Our wedding, we’ll make it as big as you want, I’ll make sure you shine…”

n“Also, about the residency, I can get it done for you by tomorrow…”

n“Plus, after we’re married, I’ll give you my salary card, buy whatever you want…”

nManager Huang was fearing that Meng Xian might change her mind.

n“I came to you because I need a favor…” Meng Xian turned around.

nThis man had helped her a lot, but the age difference between them was too great, and most importantly, Manager Huang had once been her father’s driver, which made it quite inappropriate.

nH n

nManager Huang’s expression becoming stiff and disappointed, but he quickly put on a willing-to-help smile and said, “Meng Xian, just say what you need. If it’s within my power, I will definitely help you…”

nIn the post-apocalyptic world, some rejoiced while others despaired; he was one of the luckier ones.

nBefore the apocalypse, a wealthy and beautiful woman like Meng Xian was out of his league. He didn’t even dare to look at her directly.

nMeng Xian felt conflicted. “Manager Huang, our age difference is too great, it’s not suitable…”

n“Not too big, not too big. You might think I look old, but I’m only three years older than you. A copy of my old ID card is still in your father’s office…”

nManager Huang felt helpless. He had always looked older than his age, often mistaken for a ’bad uncle’ by his classmates when he was in elementary school, and even mistaken for a teacher when he first entered high school.

nMeng Xian was unsure whether he was lying. After a moment of thought, she said, “It’s not about that. I think love should be about feeling a connection, and right now, 1 don’t feel that way about you…”

n“Understood, understood. I’ll slowly change myself, and eventually, I’ll be worthy of you…”

nManager Huang chuckled and grinned foolishly for a while.

nAlthough his status and position had changed significantly now, and Meng Xian was no longer the wealthy and beautiful woman she used to be.

nIn his heart, she always remained his unattainable love.

nMeng Xian didn’t want to dwell on this topic and said, “I came to you because I need a favor….”
