Shi Man patted his shoulder and smiled. “I see that you’re quite smart, so I’ll let you be the temporary supervisor. I’ll give you more resources, but my people will also be everywhere and observe secretly. If you dare to play favorites…”
That person quickly raised his hand and put his fingers together. He promised solemnly, “Absolutely not, Miss Shi. I, Jiao Kai, will definitely listen to your orders and help you settle the matter!”
Being able to personally obtain the important position given by the daughter of the Shi family in public meant that he had a chance to walk into the sight of the richest family. After this disaster passed, wouldn’t he be able to rise rapidly?
Jiao Kai understood the logic of being able to eat his fill forever. At this moment, even if someone offered him ten thousand benefits to betray the Shi family, he would not agree.
The two of them decided on the leader selection. Everyone looked at Jiao Kai with complicated expressions. They were very envious of him and acted more actively and obediently.
This time, when they were queuing up to get their food, everyone followed the order. The line was silent, and there was not even anyone whispering.
The distribution of supplies continued to be handed over to Shi Ke and Shi Yu. Shi Man brought Yi Zheng to the other two brothers to inspect.
As Shi He was a public figure, the commotion he could cause was too great. Therefore, he was ordered by Ning Hui to stay in the car obediently and could only come out during the day.
Although Shi Mu’s side was also in chaos, because of Bai Xue’s gentle and calm temperament, they were able to miraculously calm the restless crowd down.
However, they did not have any clues about the person who led the trouble.
Shi Man did not expect them to really find anything. As usual, she chose someone to help her and stabilize the order before talking about anything else.
Yi Zheng watched her smart appearance quietly from the side with sparkling eyes.
Shi Mu saw it with his sharp eyes. Just as he was about to go up and stab him, Bai Xue grabbed his arm.
She gently placed the bento box in his hand and said gently, “Brother Shi Mu, eat something to fill your stomach first. If anything happens later, I still need you to keep an eye on me.”
Shi Mu squatted on the ground with the lunch box in his hand in frustration, as if he was a refugee who had come to beg for food. He wolfed down a few mouthfuls of food and put the lunch box aside. “I’m not eating anymore. I’m annoyed. This lunch box is so disgusting. Who wants to eat it!”
Bai Xue followed suit and squatted on the ground. Her shoulder accidentally brushed against his, and the two of them actually blushed.
She turned around slightly and stared straight at the soil in front of her. She advised seriously, “Eat more. You haven’t had a single drop of water today. Aren’t you making your sister and Aunt Shen worried if you continue to simmer?”
Shi Mu seemed to have his shortcomings pinched in an instant. He reluctantly picked up the lunch box and finished the food inside. Then, he threw the lunch box away and said, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Bai Xue shook her head gently. “I can’t eat.”
When Shi Mu heard this, he was even angrier. He frowned and said angrily, “You knew to persuade me to eat, but you don’t know how to cherish your body.”
Bai Xue retracted her gaze and continued to stare at the black soil under her feet, ignoring him.
Shi Mu paused for a moment and scratched his head guiltily. “I’m sorry, my attitude was a little bad just now, but you should go to the car and rest with my brother. Ning Hui and I will be fine here.”
“I’m fine.” Bai Xue sighed softly. Her gaze landed on the family of three not far away with a sad expression. “Brother Shi Mu, those three people are the bosses of a cafeteria I used to work for. They used to treat me very well and would always make me another dish when they saw that I was pitiful. But now, because of this fire, the cafeteria has completely burned down. What should they do in the future?”
Shi Mu followed her gaze and happened to meet the woman’s gaze. From afar, he should not have been able to see anything in the dark night, but he could clearly see the endless despair in the other party’s eyes.
He frowned and grabbed Bai Xue’s hand from the fruits beside him, pulling her over.
When the woman saw that they had really walked over, she pulled her son up in shock. Her husband looked over in confusion. When he saw that it was actually Bai Xue, he immediately grinned in surprise.
Shi Mu stood in front of them expressionlessly and stuffed the bag of fresh fruits into the child’s arms. “Take it and eat it.”
The man hurriedly took out the bag and stuffed it back into his hand. He shook his head repeatedly and said, “That won’t do. There’s a shortage of supplies now. Food is the most important. We can’t take so many things for nothing. Let’s leave it for others to share.”
“Cut the crap. Take it. It’s from Bai Xue.”
He stuffed the thing back into the child’s hand and said impatiently, “Don’t return it to me, or I’ll be anxious with you.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The man hurriedly thanked them with his wife.
The woman looked at Bai Xue and wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, all her words turned into hot tears in her eyes..
