Infinite Sims
Chapter 283: Store Manager
Kent City is the southernmost city of Shipp.
Adjacent to Mogago, which is rich in hallucinogenic drugs, it is the largest hallucinogenic drug trading city in Shipp, with the highest crime rate in Shipp all year round.
Here, instant riches happen every day.
In the eyes of many outsiders, this place is both heaven and hell.
The difference is that, compared to other cities where the filth is hidden under a polite and friendly appearance, here it is on the bright side.
For ordinary people living in it.
This is just a terrible city. They really want to leave, but they don't have the capital to leave, so they can only continue to sink and struggle here.
Maybe live a peaceful life, maybe get rich overnight, or die in an unknown corner.
"It's time for dinner."
Jiang Ren glanced at the colorful lights outside and the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky, then turned and went back to the house to put on a down jacket to keep out the cold.
When he came to the mirror in the entrance, a wave of evil energy gushed out from his body, covering his face and hair.
After only a few breaths, Jiang Ren changed his appearance.
Turned into a dark-haired old man with an oriental face.
Breathing in the heat, Jiang Ren walked out of the house and took the elevator downstairs.
The more chaotic the city, the more orderly the core bustling areas will be.
This is not a special case or an unspoken rule, but some people who have obtained enough benefits from the chaos actively maintain order in order to live a better life for themselves.
The area where Jiang Ren now lives belongs to one of the few wealthy areas in the city.
It is not only the official forces of Hipp that are in charge of security, but also many private armed forces. The latter is the main reason for the stability of this area.
"Ten Flavors Restaurant."
Jiang Ren braved the light snow and came to the side of the road, took a taxi, and went straight to a restaurant on the edge of this rich area.
The driveway was a bit congested, and it was already ten minutes later when we arrived at the restaurant.
The restaurant is a typical western style, but there is no lack of oriental sophistication in the details.
It was almost the end of dinner, but there were still many customers in Shiwei Restaurant. From their satisfied expressions, it could be seen that the taste of this restaurant was very popular.
"Mr. Jiang, what would you like to eat today?"
As soon as Jiang Ren entered the restaurant, a middle-aged man greeted him with a smile on his face.
About forty-five, tall and thin, with shoulder-length hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a work uniform in the store, with "Store Manager—Phoenix" written on the badge on his chest.
Do not obey the smiles of other shop assistants, making people unable to see the real and fake smiles.
His smile seemed a little stiff, as if it had been programmed.
"Do you know the blind box?" Jiang Ren looked at him.
Phoenix said tentatively: "A toy box with random properties?"
Jiang Ren smiled: "So, please bring me a dish with random attributes, I want to experience the feeling of surprise."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Phoenix ushered Jiang Ren into the place he liked, a corner near the window, brought up water and pre-dinner snacks, and then entered the back kitchen.
"Phoenix, are you here to help?"
Seeing him come in, Lyle, a waiter who was putting the dishes on the plate, asked.
"Do not."
Phoenix briefly walked past him and picked up the menu on the table next to him.
Lyle was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "The boss is here?"
The store manager is very capable at work, but his personality is a little weird. The only person who can make him do this is probably the boss.
Phoenix nodded, flipped through the menu, and reported the names of a few dishes to a chef who had just vacated.
Seeing this, Lyle picked up the dishes and was about to leave. When he came to the door, he turned his head and asked curiously: "A friend of mine said that you took the lead in protesting the demolition of the orphanage a few days ago, is this true? "
Phoenix did not hide, nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that he hadn't left after hearing the answer, Phoenix asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lyle hesitated, and said: "I heard that the land in the area of the orphanage is related to the plan for the next wealthy district in the city, and there are many high-level figures in the city standing behind them. If they protest the demolition, bad things may happen. .”
A stiff smile appeared on Phoenix's face: "Thank you for your kindness."
Lyle shook his head: "Phoenix, what I said is true, you'd better not go again."
Phoenix's expression remained unchanged: "That's where I grew up."
"Hey...sorry."
Lyle paused, turned and left the back kitchen.
Although Phoenix did not say it clearly, it can be seen from his expression and tone that it is impossible for him to stop participating in the protests.
And through my understanding these days, he knows that the store manager is not a person who will change his mind easily.
"I didn't expect it to be so popular."
Looking at the diners in the restaurant, Jiang Ren felt a little emotional.
More than half a month ago, he came to this city to set up this restaurant, spent a few days to slightly renovate it, and trained the chef and waiters, and then opened this restaurant that specializes in oriental dishes.
Originally, he opened this restaurant just to observe the second apostle reserve at close range and to satisfy his own appetite. He didn't think about making money.
But in just over half a month, this restaurant has become quite famous.
"Last night there was another earthquake in Hobart and thousands of people died"
A few men were sitting at a table next to them, and they were talking about a piece of foreign news, and their voices reached Jiang Ren's ears.
"No way, is this the first time?"
"According to their official data, this should be the fifth time, spanning less than half a month."
"Hobart officially said that the earthquake was caused by the aftermath of the battle between two powerful groups of extreme people. I don't know if it is true or not."
"For a battle that can trigger that kind of earthquake, the two sides in the battle are not among the top ten in the world, and they are not far behind, right?"
"Those are all human-shaped nuclear bombs, because the relationship of the global agreement is limited to a certain area, and even if you go to the next city, you have to apply. How can it be so easy to come out, it must be fake."
"I think they're just making excuses for their own incompetence."
"It deserves it. It's better to have a few more earthquakes. The more monkeys die, the better. They think they have the same skin color as us, so they are the same kind of people as us. Are they worthy?"
"The descendants of a group of criminals, it's their nature to be shameless, isn't it normal?"
As they spoke, they began to mock the Hobart people.
"An earthquake?"
Jiang Ren withdrew his attention, took a sip from his water glass.
There are many people who want to arrest him, but among them there is only one with the deepest power and strength, and that is Anthony, who belongs to the same teacher and student as him.
This former second child in ten thousand years is now the number one in the world.
When Jiang Ren left the prison, Anthony was still in retreat.
For this world, I have roughly figured it out, so naturally I will not forget this matter.
Pressing Anthony's exit time, he forged his identity and rushed to Hobart in advance, and deliberately showed some telltale feet to lure him there.
With Anthony's strength and status, it is very difficult to go to Hobart on the other side of the world. Needless to say, there are complicated procedures, and it is not certain whether he can get approval in the end.
And with his vigilance towards himself, he will never rest assured of letting others take action.
Therefore, he will inevitably disguise his identity and go quietly.
Such a human-shaped nuclear bomb, no matter what the reason for his appearance.
Those countries in the east, especially Da Zhao, who is in conflict with Hipp, will certainly not allow him to move freely.
They would even take advantage of the fact that Anthony had no protective force around him, and use a large number of strong men to kill him and leave him in Hobart forever.
The facts are just as Jiang Ren guessed.
After sending the news to Da Zhao, within two days, Da Zhao sent several top 100 strong men to Hobart, and a battle broke out with Anthony, which triggered the Hobart earthquake.
Then, the second and third battles took place soon.
As for the two games in the last few days, it is no longer a question of whether Anthony is willing to leave Hobart, but that Zhao will not let go of this good opportunity to solve him.
"Although Anthony died like this, I will be very happy."
"But with his strength, unless Da Zhao sends out all the top forces, it is impossible to keep him in the face of Anthony who does not want to fight to the death."
"But in a short time, he won't even think about escaping back."
"When he comes back, he will definitely not be in good health. With his life-saving personality, he probably won't dare to go out until he recovers from his injuries."
"In this way, I can also have enough time to develop the layout."
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served.
Jiang Ren enjoyed the night outside the window, and settled for dinner leisurely.
When the chopsticks were put down, it was already half an hour later.
There were only two tables of guests left in the restaurant, and they had already finished eating, and they were packing up and preparing to leave.
"There's still an hour until closing."
Jiang Ren checked the time and called Phoenix over: "There are no guests, so get off work early."
Phoenix nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang."
I usually get off work at 21:00, but now it's only 19:41. Even if I add the time for sanitation, I can still get off work at 20:00.
With the salary unchanged, it is undoubtedly a joyful thing to have an extra hour of free time.
The last two tables of guests checked out and left. The sanitation in the restaurant was finished in a short time. As the lights went out, everyone came outside the restaurant.
After the five clerks and three chefs thanked Jiang Ren, they happily left, thinking about what leisure activities they would use the extra hour for.
Phoenix called a taxi for Jiang Ren before saying goodbye and leaving.
"From tonight, a peaceful life will have nothing to do with you."
Jiang Ren watched Phoenix's back disappear into the crowd, sat in the car calmly, reported his address to the driver, and then closed his eyes to rest.
History has a powerful inertia.
Even if some things change due to your influence, many things still happen.
Just wait for the right time
