When the senior executive of the bank was investigating Su Can, he discovered that he was in the same city as Su Can after looking up Su Can’s IP address. If he wanted to learn more, he knew he would have to meet with Su Can.

…

At this time, Su Can was at home, busying himself in the kitchen with Li Jiayue.

On the gas stove, beef and potatoes were boiling in the pot.

The aroma of beef and vegetables almost made Su Can drool. He could not help but pick up a pair of chopsticks and moved toward the pot, intending to have a taste of the beef first.

Upon seeing this, Li Jiayue quickly stopped him and said, “Don’t be so anxious. It’s not done yet. Wait a little longer before you have a taste.”

“Just let me try a piece,” Su Can said. His hand was quick, and he picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth before Li Jiayue could react. The moment the scalding piece of beef entered his mouth, a burst of savory taste exploded in his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction and gave Li Jiayue a thumbs-up as he exclaimed, “Delicious!”

“It’s good, right? Alright, we can eat now,” Li Jiayue said proudly before she picked up the pot and walked toward the dining table.

After that, Li Jiayue placed a bowl and a pair of chopsticks in front of Su Can.

Su Can quickly nodded and took a seat. He could not help but nod in satisfaction again. Although there were only four simple dishes, all of them looked very appetizing.

Just as Su Can was about to start eating, his phone began to ring. He quickly rose to his feet and answered the call after he said to Li Jiayue, “Give me a moment.”

“Hello, is this Mr. Su?”

It was the supervisor at the construction site.

“We’ve already completed the renovations. You can come over to inspect it when you’re free.”

“Alright, I’ll come over tomorrow to have a look.”

After ending the call, Su Can returned to the dining table.

“It’s completed so quickly?” Li Jiayue asked curiously.

“Yes, they moved very quickly,” Su Can replied as he picked up the chopsticks and started tasting Li Jiayue’s cooking.

“Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?” Li Jiayue asked.

“Of course,” Su Can nodded and replied, “You’re my assistant, after all. Such an important matter needs your presence.”

Li Jiayue giggled and said, “Okay! Alright, let’s just eat now. After we’re done eating, we still have a lot to do.”

The duo chatted as they ate, and it did not take long before the few dishes on the table were almost gone.

When they were done, Su Can sat on the couch in the living room and said with a satisfied expression, “I’m full.”

“Do you like the dishes I made?” Li Jiayue asked as she looked at the contented Su Can.

“Your cooking is really delicious,” Su Can said and gave Li Jiayue a thumbs-up again.

Li Jiayue could not help but smile. At this moment, she felt like they were a couple who had been married for many years. As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she blushed immediately. After all, her relationship with Su Can had not progressed to that stage yet.

‘Seriously… What am I thinking?’

“Alright, that’s enough. Li Jiayue, you can rest. I’ll do the dishes,” Su Can muttered to himself before he rose up to his feet and took the initiative to clean up the dishes on the table.

Li Jiayue looked at Su Can in surprise. “But…”

“No matter what, you’re a guest. I should clean up. Moreover, you cooked. I can’t repay you so I can only help to do the dishes,” Su Can said happily.

“Thank you then,” Li Jiayu replied. She looked at Su Can who was busying himself in the kitchen and could not help but feel a burst of happiness. She felt like it would not be bad to build a family with him.

…

The next morning.

Su Can left home and went to the supermarket. He planned to buy some things for the workers. Although their relationship was not deep, and it was one between an employer and employees, he could not help but pity them when he thought about their miserable lives once the apocalypse arrived. He could not do much to help them, but he could buy them something good to eat before the apocalypse at the very least.

At this time, Su Can came to a stop next to the place where nuts were sold.

“80 yuan?”

Su Can scratched his head in confusion when he saw the price. He clearly remembered that the price of nuts was only 50 yuan per catty yesterday, but now it had soared to 80 yuan per catty. Nonetheless, even if the price was a little expensive, it was not unacceptable to him.

Following that, Su Can asked a salesperson to help him pack up more than 100 boxes of nuts.

After that, he left the food section. He planned to buy some coals for the workers. When the weather turned cold, they would not be able to go out, and it was best if they had coals to warm them up. It was good to prepare more for them.

The price of coal had soared over the past few days, almost doubling its original price. Fortunately, Su Can still had a few million left. It was definitely more than enough to buy coal.

…

After shopping, Su Can made his way to the construction site immediately. When he arrived, the supervisor and a large group of workers were already waiting for him at the door.

“Mr. Su, you’re here!” The supervisor’s eyes lit up, and he quickly walked toward Su Can. When he walked closer, he asked in confusion, “What’s this van doing here?”

Su Can reached out and patted the supermarket’s van next to him and said, “Apart from the inspection and settling the payment, there’s another thing…”

As soon as Su Can patted the van, as though they had received a signal, the employees from the supermarket got off the van and began to unload the things Su Can bought.

“These supplies are a reward for your hard work. Everyone has a share of it,” Su Can said with a smile, “It can also be considered a thank-you gift. I could see that all of you had worked hard.”

The workers looked at each other at a loss. They had been working for more than ten years, but this was the first time they had encountered such a generous person.

“What are you waiting for? Everyone, come over and get your share,” Su Can said to the workers.
