Stockpiling Supplies&Raising a Child in a Post-Apocalyptic World by DrawingCards

Chapter 8

Around four in the afternoon, Lin Ran received a call from the property management. She could already guess what it was about.

She had just over 10,000 yuan left in her account. She planned to keep some for food and use the rest efficiently, knowing that after tomorrow, the money would be worth less than toilet paper.

In a good mood, Lin Ran answered the call.

"Miss Lin, we received complaints from residents that you installed surveillance cameras in the hallway. This is against the regulations. You can only install them at your door, not throughout the building," the property manager, Wang Dong, said angrily.

"Manager Wang, please don't get upset. This is for a task from my workplace. The cameras will only be up for today. I'll have them removed by tomorrow afternoon. Is your office in the small two-story building? I'll come over and explain in person," Lin Ran said, heading to the supermarket downstairs. She bought two bottles of wine, each costing 800 yuan, and two cartons of cigarettes, each costing 650 yuan, spending a total of 4,500 yuan.

Lin Ran then went to the property management office on the second floor, carrying the items. When Wang Dong saw her, he was about to scold her but stopped when he noticed the expensive items she brought.

"Manager Wang, I'm sorry for the trouble. The cameras are necessary for a unit task involving infrared technology, and my boss asked me to run an experiment. They will be removed by tomorrow afternoon. Can you please help hold off the complaints? This is a small token of appreciation," Lin Ran said with a smile.

Wang Dong glanced at the expensive wine and cigarettes. His demeanour softened immediately. "Alright, since you've explained, I'll cover for you, but they must be gone by tomorrow. Otherwise, I can't help you."

"Thank you, Manager Wang. I won't bother you any further," Lin Ran said, smiling.

"Alright, alright." Wang Dong nodded, feeling quite pleased with the gifts he received, and happily informed the group.

Guanghua Community Building 9 Owners' Group:

Property Manager Wang Dong: @everyone, regarding the issue of someone privately installing cameras in the hallway, the property management has investigated and confirmed that the cameras will be removed by professional staff tomorrow afternoon. Please do not attempt to remove them yourselves to avoid the risk of electric shock. If anyone gets shocked due to improper removal, the property management will not be held responsible!!!

1103 Wang Wuyang: Who did this? Are they crazy? Installing cameras in the hallway? Property management, you must have them removed by tomorrow afternoon.

801 Ma Shuai: Exactly, that's insane! Which alpha did it? Are they ogling my girlfriend? So creepy.

801 Zhang Yingying: People like this are so annoying, invading everyone's privacy for their selfish reasons. But it's good that the property management has promised to remove them. If they aren't removed by tomorrow, we'll all go to the property office together.

1804 Li Kang: Agreed. If they aren't taken down by tomorrow, we'll all block the property office and demand a solution. @Property Manager Wang Dong

Seeing the dissatisfaction in the group, Wang Dong felt a bit uneasy and called Lin Ran again.

"Lin Ran, you really need to keep your word. You've seen everyone's messages in the group. I'm covering for you, so don't put me in a difficult position. Make sure everything is removed by tomorrow afternoon," Wang Dong urged.

"Don't worry, Manager Wang. The equipment will be taken back by our company tomorrow. There's no need to worry," Lin Ran reassured him with a calm tone.
