Hearing Yao Ran's offer, the workers became excited. They exchanged glances and then glanced at their Boss. None of them dared speak as they worried they might disrupt his negotiations.
Yao Ran observed their reactions and thought, 'This offer should be higher than the market price.'
She turned back to the Boss and noticed he was still hesitating. Concerned that time was running out, Yao Ran added, "Uncle, if you think the price is too low, then forget it. I will just find someone else."
Hearing this, the other workers grew anxious. They knew competition for finding jobs in the villa area was tough. More than a dozen teams have arrived today, so there will be a lot of people willing to take over this job with generous pay.
One of the workers became anxious and couldn't help but grab his Boss's arm and pull him aside.
Lowering his voice, he said, "Boss, if you keep hesitating, this young lady might really hire another team. Jobs like this with such a good payment aren't easy to find."
Seeing that his Boss was considering it, the worker continued, "Besides, she said she will provide a meal today. We haven't eaten since this morning, and we are starving. Let's take the job and eat first."
The Boss considered it for a moment and realized that they had no particular advantage that would make Yao Ran insist on hiring them, so he finally nodded.
"Alright," he said.
The worker's face lit up at his agreement. "Great! Boss, accept the job quickly before the young lady changes her mind."
Urged by his worker, the Boss walked back to Yao Ran and asked, "Young Lady, could we have the meal first?"
Yao Ran glanced at her watch and saw that it was past lunchtime. She thought for a moment and said, "Sure. Please come with me."
After the eternal night arrived, the temperature gradually decreased day by day. Although it was colder than before, for survivors who had endured the extreme cold, the current temperature felt surprisingly comfortable.
Taking advantage of the milder weather, Yao Ran planned to let the workers have their meals in the backyard.
When they arrived in the backyard, Yao Ran said, "Please wait here. I will go and get the meals."
The Boss smiled gratefully upon hearing that. "Thank you, Young Lady."
Yao Ran nodded and headed to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Shi Xuan heard her footsteps and turned around. Seeing her open the hanging cupboard, he put down the empty cup and asked, "Has Brother Yuan already left?"
"Yes," Yao Ran replied, taking out ten packs of self-heating meals.
Seeing her actions, he asked, "Yao Ran, what are you planning to eat all of them?"
Yao Ran closed the cupboard and answered, "No. I have hired a team of workers to install power grids and raise the wall. Since we have decided to stay here for a while, I think it's important to enhance security."
