Chapter 116 - 116 Using All His Petty Tricks to Deceive a Woman, How Useless116 Using All His Petty Tricks to Deceive a Woman, How Useless
The reason why the man could tell at a glance that it was Zuo Mingdong was that he had an employee card hanging on his chest, on which his position and name were written. It was freezing cold outside. Most of the time, people wrapped themselves in six layers and wore hats and masks. Since one could not see their faces, one could only distinguish the employees from their work passes. “Captain Zuo Qianqian!”
Zuo Mingdong’s eyes were emotionless, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry when he spoke. “Did you just call me Little Zuo? Did you just say that there’s nothing you can’t do in the base?”
“Captain Zuo, I was just…”
“Who allowed you to not wear your work pass during working hours?”

“I’m sorry, I forgot.”
The man hurriedly took out his work pass from his pocket and let it hang on his chest. Since his back was facing Du Yue, she could not see the words on his employee pass. However, she heard He Xing, who was standing next to Zuo Mingdong, say, “Security, Pan Da.” He Xing’s voice had a hint of sarcasm. “Captain Zuo, how can a security guard have so much power? If that’s the case, even I want to be a security guard.”
Zuo Mingdong’s eyes turned colder when he heard this. “Pan Da, you’re not doing proper work well during working hours. You even left your post without permission and talked nonsense with the residents, tarnishing the base’s image. You’re really gutsy. Go to the Human Resources Department now and tell them what you’ve done. If you don’t want to go, then I’ll go and say it for you later!”
Hearing Zuo Mingdong’s words, Pan Da’s body swayed and he almost lost his balance. “Captain Zuo, I know my mistake now. Please let me off this time! I can’t lose this job!”
“I said, if you don’t want to go, I’ll go in your place.”
“Don’t! Don’t! I’ll go! I’ll go by myself,” Pan Da said as he stumbled toward the gate.
He Xing squinted his eyes. “Is the base that short of manpower?”
“Of course not. I’ll handle this matter properly.”
“Well, I believe in your ability. If there’s nothing else, we’ll go back now. See you, Captain Zuo!” He Xing said as he waved at Zuo Mingdong and quickly got into the car.
Du Yue remained seated in the car and nodded at Zuo Mingdong as a form of greeting. He Xing sat in the driver’s seat, rolled up the window, and drove away. Du Yue looked through the rearview mirror and saw that Zuo Mingdong was still standing there, not moving at all.
“What are you looking at?”

No matter if it was before or after the apocalypse, there would always be people who used their positions to play some tricks.
He Xing sneered. “He has no ability but still continued to brag. He’s using all his wits to deceive women. What kind of a man is he?”
Du Yue was at a loss for words. She turned to look at He Xing with a complicated expression.
He Xing felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Du Yue waved her hand. “No, you didn’t say anything wrong.” There was nothing wrong with He Xing’s evaluation of Pan Da, but she did not mean that Pan Da was interesting!
This was the first time Du Yue had truly experienced what it meant for two people to be seemingly talking about the same thing but getting the messages askew. Du Yue could not help but laugh at the thought. Her eyes curved as she smiled, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise. He Xing saw from the corners of his eyes that Du Yue was laughing happily, and he laughed along with her.
The car drove on the road for more than ten minutes and arrived at the service hall. He Xing stopped the car and turned off the engine. He alighted from the car with Du Yue and walked toward the service hall. It was uncertain if it was because it was the morning or because those who had gone out for missions had all returned yesterday and come to the service hall today, but there were quite a lot of people here. At the very least, there were a lot more than the last time Du Yue and He Xing came.
Du Yue looked around and found an empty counter. She called He Xing, and the two walked over. Du Yue took out the cards that He Xing had given her previously. The first time, He Xing gave her four cards, and the second time, he gave her five. He had given her another five cards after he retrieved them from Captain Zuo earlier, so she had a total of 14 cards now.
Each card had 1,000 contribution points, so she had a total of 14,000 contribution points. Although the staff member who handled the procedures for them could not hide the surprise in their eyes, they did not ask much. Even when they handled the procedures, they were very fast. In less than two minutes, Du Yue’s card had an additional 14,000 contribution points.
