Chapter 5
Early the next morning, just as Yun Xiaoxiao had finished preparing her milk powder, she heard the roar of a car engine outside.
She put on her voice changer, and immediately after, her phone rang.
"Mr. Yun, are you not at home?" A loud and gruff voice came from the other end.
"Mm, I have to go out for a few days. Call me when you've finished the repairs, and I'll transfer the final payment directly to you. But the condition is that it must be fixed within four days."
"Alright, alright, we guarantee to complete the task."
After ending the call, Yun Xiaoxiao swiftly ate two eggs and drank her milk powder.
By this time, the taxi had arrived.
She had called for it in advance.
Time was of the essence now, and she had to hurry to spend all eight million.
Otherwise, in a few days, when the apocalypse arrived, this money would become nothing but meaningless numbers.
...
"Little girl, here's the key."
At the door of an abandoned factory at the foot of the villa mountain.
A middle-aged man with a beer belly handed a key to Yun Xiaoxiao.
He smiled, "You're so young and already running errands for your dad?"
"Yes, my dad has trouble walking."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked up, revealing an innocent smile.
The middle-aged man looked at her with some pity.
"Looks like your family is having a tough time, a disabled father struggling with a little girl of just a few years old, trying to start a business. It's really not easy. I originally didn't want to agree to a monthly rent, but for your sake, I'll make an exception."
"Thank you, Uncle. Uncle is such a good person."
Yun Xiaoxiao's smile grew even brighter.
After the landlord left, she hailed another taxi and headed straight for the largest wholesale market in City A.
The market was divided into several areas, and Yun Xiaoxiao first went to the grain and oil section.
Although she had previously stocked up on some rice, it was far from enough.
"Grandpa, how much is a 50-pound bag of rice at your store?"
The store owner looked around after hearing the voice, and it took him a while to notice Yun Xiaoxiao, whose head was barely visible above the rice bags.
He looked at her in surprise, "Little girl, are you buying rice?"
"Yes, Grandpa, how much is a 50-pound bag of rice?"
"The better quality ones are 160 yuan a bag, the lower quality ones are 105 yuan a bag, and there are several price points in between. Did your mom tell you how much to spend per bag?"
The store owner found it very novel. In his decades of doing business, this was the first time he had encountered a five or six-year-old child coming to the wholesale market to buy rice.
"Rice between 130 and 160 yuan, can you get me 500 bags?"
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao spoke, the owner's jaw nearly hit the floor.
It took him a while to regain his composure.
"Little one, wait a moment. I'm going to call your mother right now."
Saying this, he pulled out his phone and dialed 110.
Yun Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of this and felt a headache coming on.
She said helplessly, "Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with my mind. I really want to buy rice. If you don't believe me, I can pay you a deposit first."
Yun Xiaoxiao took out her phone, scanned the WeChat QR code on the wall, and entered 2000 yuan.
"Ding~ WeChat received payment of 2000 yuan."
As the sound rang out, the owner's hand paused.
"Little one, do you really want to buy so much rice?" The owner asked, still uncertain.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, my dad is opening a big supermarket. He's very busy, so he asked me to help him order some goods."
"I... I see..."
Although the owner was still somewhat skeptical, he ultimately abandoned the idea of calling the police.
After signing a simple contract, Yun Xiaoxiao transferred some more deposit to the owner, asking him to deliver the goods to the specified location tomorrow, before leaving.
"Kids these days are getting too smart!" The owner couldn't help but exclaim as he watched Yun Xiaoxiao's retreating figure.
To avoid similar situations from happening again, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't continue to order rice directly from the stores.
Instead, she noted down the phone numbers of various store owners, found a secluded corner, used her voice changer, and then called each store owner one by one.
She ordered 500 bags of 50-pound rice from each of the ten stores.
In total, she spent over 750,000 yuan.
Next, using the same method, she ordered 1,000 bags of flour, 1,000 bags of noodles, and 200 units of various seasonings.
She also ordered 200 units each of various flavors of instant noodles and self-heating rice.
For different flavors of sausages and pickled vegetables, she ordered another 200 boxes each.
All together, another 600,000 yuan or so was gone.
These supplies would be enough for her and her big brother to eat for several lifetimes!
With a strong sense of satisfaction, Yun Xiaoxiao then went to the livestock and aquatic products area.
She bought 500 adults and 200 breeding pairs each of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, and cattle.
She had the owner deliver some fences, feeding boxes, and feed as well.
She also bought over 300 of various types of fish and shrimp.
The owner voluntarily threw in some water buckets, fish tanks, and fish food.
Next, she went to the seed section.
She ordered 100 bags each of seeds for various crops, fruits, and flowers.
Of course, she didn't overlook the snack section either.
After the apocalypse, with factories shut down, these delicious junk foods would become a rare commodity. She had to stock up on plenty.
Having missed out in her previous life, she was determined to make up for it in this one.
With snacks bought, she didn't skimp on clothes either.
At the clothing wholesale market, she bought a full range of styles for all seasons and age groups.
Thinking of her big brother, she also browsed the men's clothing section.
Then, she went to buy shoes.
She mainly bought sports shoes and casual shoes.
Of course, she also bought quite a few sandals and warm cotton shoes.
As for daily necessities, she bought extra bathing and hair washing products, toilet paper, and sanitary napkins.
She stocked up the most on large bottles of mineral water.
Well, it was cheap and took up space, how could she not love it?
After a day of shopping, nearly a quarter of her money was gone.
Indeed, the saying "money flows like water" was not wrong at all.
After leaving the wholesale market, she went directly to an auto repair shop.
"Little sister, can I help you?" A young man crawled out from under a car, his body covered in dirt and holding an electric drill in his hand.
"Brother, can you modify cars here?"
The young man nodded and said with a smirk, "We can, but we don't work on toy cars."
The men around him immediately burst into laughter.
There was no malice, they just found it amusing.
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
"It's not a toy car."
She took out a drawing, which she had sketched herself last night.
The young man's expression became strange after looking at it.
"Are you sure you want the brake and accelerator positions raised this much? And you really want the exterior modified like this?"
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, not bothering to explain.
"Yes, can you do it?"
"We can, but modifying it like this would cost at least a million yuan. You're just a little kid, do you have that much money?"
"As long as you can do it, it's fine. If you can modify it like this within three days, any amount of money is okay."
"Oh, and here's the address of the car. You'll need to go pick it up yourselves."
Yun Xiaoxiao handed over the car key to them. The car was Yun Shaokai's large SUV, currently parked outside the villa.
Watching the tiny figure chewing on a lollipop as she left, the men at the auto repair shop looked at each other, their expressions still somewhat bewildered.
"Boss, what should we do?"
This was the first time they had encountered a child coming to modify a car.
Her tone was like that of a little adult.
The young man said, "What else can we do? They've already paid the deposit. Go bring the car back. Everyone will have to work overtime these next couple of days."
The employees: ......
