Chapter 3530: Chapter 3522: The Function of the Fashion Vest
"Okay."
Since the money was fought for by Lin Yi, and every security guard received their share, naturally no one opposed this distribution method.
After driving the people away, everyone returned to their normal work.
After finishing work, Lin Yi first went home.
"Daddy, Daddy, there’s a package for you at the door."
As soon as he entered, he heard Little Nuonuo’s soft voice.
"Where is it? Bring it to Daddy."
"Okay."
Little Nuonuo hugged Lin Yi’s package and handed it to him.
From this action, Lin Yi realized the item must be very light.
Little Nuonuo carried it effortlessly.
He took the package and opened it.
Inside, he found a black vest, identical to what’s sold outside.
But holding it in his hand, it was extremely light.
Lin Yi scratched his chin.
Was the task worth 200,000 master level driving skills and this is what he got?
What is the system doing?
"Did you buy this?"
Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan and noticed her face full of disdain.
"Uh... it looked good, so I bought it."
"Did you buy it for yourself or my dad?"
"For myself, why ask?"
"Then it’s fine. Such an ugly piece of clothing, he wouldn’t wear it anyway."
Ji Qingyan’s sarcasm added fuel to the fire.
Lin Yi himself felt helpless.
What the hell is this?
"System, are you sure this is something worth 200,000 master level driving skills?" Lin Yi thought.
[Please explore its uses on your own.]
"Damn it!"
Swearing, Lin Yi looked at the vest again.
He pulled at it forcefully and found there was no change.
This discovery revealed some clues to Lin Yi.
With his current strength, a normal vest would have been torn long ago.
It couldn’t possibly be this sturdy.
Lin Yi took the vest upstairs and found scissors in the bathroom.
He stabbed at it a few times, leaving no marks.
Lin Yi scratched his chin and murmured to himself, "Could this thing be bulletproof?"
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Given the system’s usual style, it was unlikely that 200,000 master level driving skills would return something useless.
He needed to test it at the security area sometime.
If he guessed right, it would add another layer of protection for future tasks.
Putting the vest aside, Lin Yi went downstairs to have a meal.
After dinner, he greeted Ji Qingyan and went to find Qin Han for drinks, returning home late at night.
The next day at work, while patrolling the neighborhood, Lin Yi saw Liu Daqiang.
He was wearing his cleaning uniform, picking things up near a trash can.
"We’ve already given you a job. Why are you still collecting trash here?"
Seeing Lin Yi, the old man showed a simple smile.
"Throwing it away would be a waste; collecting them can be sold for money," Liu Daqiang said.
"But rest assured, I will do the job well and not bring disgrace to you."
"It’s not about disgracing me, but if you accept someone’s job, you need to work hard; it’s a matter of principle."
"I know, I know, Manager Liu has told me," Liu Daqiang said with a grin.
"He said it’s okay to work slow as long as the job is done well."
"Then I won’t say much more, just do your best."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know."
After chatting with Liu Daqiang for a while, Lin Yi went to patrol elsewhere.
The day passed quickly, mostly spent patrolling.
He also checked for fire hazards and reported them.
In the evening, Lin Yi was on night duty; after everyone left, he was like the boss in the security room.
He bought barbecue from the stand at the entrance and started eating leisurely with Xiao Fengshan.
"Lin Bro, do you want more kidneys? I can get a few skewers for you."
"I don’t need those supplements anymore, but you should have more, and buy some oysters," Lin Yi joked.
"My kidneys are perfectly fine; I just love eating."
"No need to say more, I understand."
Xiao Fengshan stood up and went to the stall at the entrance, buying two skewers of kidneys and six oysters.
Seeing him approaching, along with the lively atmosphere at the east entrance of the neighborhood,
This feeling gave Lin Yi a bit more pleasure.
He thought perhaps he would become a security guard when he grew old.
"Lin Bro, guess who I just saw?"
"Who?"
"It’s the old man from building 27, collecting bottles at the entrance of the stand."
"Let him collect if he wants. Besides not being very respectable, there’s nothing much to it."
"It’s really not easy. I wonder what his children think, still relying on the elderly at such an age."
"Relying on the parents? How do you know about their family?"
"I heard from Brother Yang; he’s a local. Seems he’s seen his son who asked him for money for tuition."
"Isn’t his son in Jing City?"
"He came back to ask for money, and they have an apartment here. With Zhong Hai’s housing prices, it must be worth three to four million."
"Such things shouldn’t be handed over easily."
Lin Yi said:
"If he hands over that apartment, he might not survive the year."
"Are you suggesting that if he gives the apartment to his son, no one would care for him?" Xiao Fengshan said:
"The old man has nowhere to live, surely they would have to move together, right?"
"Human nature is quite flexible; you shouldn’t underestimate it, nor overestimate it."
Xiao Fengshan grinned.
"Feels like these educated people are worse off than an uneducated person like me."
"Righteousness often finds those unworthy, while betrayal often finds scholars; it’s not without reason."
"Lin Bro, say something nice; I just got married and don’t have children yet. You made me afraid to have any."
"Without children, what will you do in the future? Spend your old age alone with your wife?"
"Not really; we have three kids in the family, and my brother and sister both have children. I’ve been good to them; hopefully, they can help." Xiao Fengshan said:
"Otherwise, I’ll go to a nursing home; it’s so popular now."
"Your thoughts have run astray."
"What do you mean?"
"You mistrust your own children yet trust other people’s children and nursing home staff; doesn’t this logic seem odd?"
After hearing Lin Yi’s words.
Xiao Fengshan’s brain rarely processed for a moment.
"I somewhat understand your point, Lin Bro."
"I’m not advising you must have children. If you’re not keen, don’t, but considering the retirement issue, overthinking is unnecessary since their situation is unique, and you won’t find another like them in the entire neighborhood."
"You’re right; maybe I’ll have a son who’s both filial and earns well."
He patted Xiao Fengshan’s shoulder, "Right, always think positively."
"What if I don’t have one?"
"Then prepare a bottle of rat poison."
"Poison my son?"
"Poison yourself."
