The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2914 After meritorious service, a moment of patience brings peace?
The man in charge of collecting orders glanced over here, and the few remaining people on the side immediately tensed up.

The man collecting the money seemed to want to say something, hesitated for a moment, then looked away, turned his head and nodded to the man in fine clothes, signaling him to follow him.

When everyone saw the two walking towards the entrance for receiving supplies, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

This is cutting in line through back channels!

"Manager Chen!"

The man in front of Xiong Yaxiong couldn't hold back any longer and stood up. Just then, the person who had come out to collect supplies came out, and he asked, "Isn't it my turn now?"

The man collecting the orders, who was also Manager Chen, frowned: "Wait a moment."

The man's expression immediately turned indignant, but he managed to suppress his anger: "It's my turn to receive the supplies according to the order!"

Manager Chen's face darkened, and his voice rose a few decibels: "I told you to wait a moment!"

The man gritted his teeth: "Manager Chen, the order has been received. Can I just wait a bit and then I can receive the supplies?"

It was already quite obvious that the last few people, including Lin Chen, had been cut in line. The man was furious, but he still suppressed his anger and wanted to get a promise from Manager Chen.

Regardless, everyone is here to collect supplies. As long as they can collect the supplies in the end, the mission will be accomplished. If someone cuts in line, so be it.

Manager Chen frowned, thought for a moment, then suddenly went inside the house. A moment later, he returned, flicked his wrist, and three forms flew over.

"There was an error in the previous inventory calculation. This batch of supplies has already been distributed, and there is no more stock. Please wait for the next batch."

Manager Chen glanced at the angry man, thought for a moment, and added, "I've noted down your names. You'll definitely get yours in the next batch."

Everyone's faces changed color in unison. Your underhanded tactics are too obvious.

Are they too lazy to even bother to cover it up?
The man's face flushed red, his eyes blazing with anger. He gritted his teeth, and after a moment, he suppressed his rage and asked, "When will the next batch of supplies arrive?"

Manager Chen shook his head: "These supplies are all transferred from various immortal realms. The journey is long and the time is uncertain. If we are lucky, they will arrive tomorrow. If we are unlucky, it may take one or two months. In short, just wait. When the next batch arrives, come early and I will have someone distribute them to you first."

The timing is uncertain?

Although Manager Chen said he would give everyone the food first next time, it sounded like he was just being perfunctory. Besides, we've already been waiting for so long, when will we get another chance?
I came here with a list to collect what I deserve, not to beg for charity!

The man could no longer contain his anger and pointed at the man in fine clothes: "Is it because of him that we cut in line to get supplies, so we lost everything we originally had?" The man in fine clothes smiled slightly, said nothing, put his hands behind his back, and looked relaxed, as if it were none of his business.

Manager Chen's face turned cold and hard: "This is a matter for our department, it has nothing to do with you, please leave now!"

The man, having lost all courage, angrily said, "I've been waiting here for two years to receive supplies, and every time I've been given all sorts of excuses to delay. Today there are clearly supplies, but you're giving others preferential treatment and not giving me any. This is rigged, and I'm going to report you!"

Manager Chen, however, remained unfazed and coldly replied, "The Dangxing Sect, is it? Go ahead and sue us if you want. Do you even know who they are?"

The man angrily said, "I don't care who he is. According to the rules, I should be the one receiving the supplies. Why should he cut in line?"

Manager Chen calmly said, "He is Zhou Daocang, the sect leader of the Soul-Slaying Sect, a member of the Zhou family, the same Zhou family as Zhou Yijian. He cut in line. Go ahead and report him."

The man's angry face froze instantly.

Not only did his face freeze, but the expressions of Xiong Yaxiong and the others who were equally indignant also changed drastically.

The elegantly dressed man remained with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, carrying a hint of arrogance, watching everything before him as if he were watching a play.

Zhou Yijian?
Is it very powerful?

Lin Chen transmitted his voice to Chi Ya, who also looked unwell, and asked, "What's going on? Is the Zhou family very powerful and influential?"

Chi Ya lowered her head and replied telepathically, "Zhou Yijian is one of the nine people listed on the Immortal God Stele. He once made unparalleled contributions to the Immortal Realm... Uh, Sect Master, the Immortal God Stele is..."

"I know."

Lin Chen interrupted Chi Ya, his eyes narrowing slightly as he quickly pondered.

Those whose names are inscribed on the Immortal God Stele are people who have made unparalleled contributions and rendered great service to the Immortal Realm, and their families will certainly be respected as a result.

Judging from this, Zhou Daocang clearly wants quite a lot of things today, and he might even pick and choose the best ones for him. So after he receives them, the rest of us won't be able to get any, and we've made another wasted trip.

If they're lucky, Steward Chen will keep his word and give them priority in receiving supplies in the next batch. If they're unlucky, he might turn his back on them next time, or delay again.

So the question is, should I back down?
