Chapter 29 What Is a Capitalist?



Chapter 29 What Is a Capitalist?

Who's talking!

She instinctively wanted to scream.

But the voice seemed to come from inside her own head.

Luo Xin looked back incredulously and saw the senior engineer known as Handwork Geng watching her.

The blood-red eyes were especially eerie in the dim courtyard.

The voice had disappeared.

Yet she could still feel a strong emotion emanating from him.

Bewilderment, anxiety, and an unstoppable frenzy.

"Clack!"

The switch was pulled down.

The living room lit up in an instant, and the bright light shined out of the window above the woman's head, perfectly outlining the zombie still maintaining the watcher's posture.

It was so content, so serene, just like me after finally completing a superior's task after staying up late.

Luo Xin felt tears welling up in her eyes in that moment.

It did it!

It really did it!

The villa's power was restored, and she was only in charge of switching it on!

All her professional training wasn't worth as much as a zombie's!

Wait a second!

Even though this zombie had been assigned as her assistant, Zhang Ye could still control it directly.

Now this zombie named Handwork Geng was doing exceptionally well.

So what was her role as the supervisor?

Just to switch it on?

This wasn't the role of an energy department supervisor, more like a switch supervisor!

She remembered her bald mentor, only twenty-five at the time, who said that competition in modern society was fierce and one had to always maintain a sense of crisis!

Luo Xin caught her breath when she looked at the zombie that was casually organizing wires.

It's still working even after finishing its task?

It was clearly showing off!

Looking closely, there was a slight bulge at the back of its head. It all fit together!

Being rebellious at heart. It was definitely planning to usurp her supervisor position!

No, it was time to assert herself!

"Luo Xin, all the lights in the living room are on!"

"Good job!"

Zhang Ye suddenly poked his head out of the window, looking at her with a face full of approval.

"Ah?"

"Really?"

"Ah haha, it should be, as long as the boss is happy."

Luo Xin laughed awkwardly while looking at him, but her mind was racing, thinking about how to maintain her position as supervisor.

Claiming she did everything?

Zhang Ye might be a bit silly, but he wasn't blind. Handwork Geng was busy right there under his nose. How could he not see?

As she was pondering, she heard him from above, "The lights are on, but only in the living room, there seem to be problems elsewhere."

Then looked back down.

Half an hour later, lights suddenly illuminated the kitchen.

Under the gentle lighting, the woman looked utterly exhausted.

Her voice was feeble.

"Okay, that should do it."

"I'll just—"

Before Luo Xin could say she needed a rest, she saw Zhang Ye, who had been playing with his phone by the window, start to laugh again.

"All done?"

"Such a genius, indeed."

He gave her a thumbs up, then gesturing upstairs he hinted,

"There are two more bathrooms up there!"

"The lights are out too."

"Can you check if—"

The woman who had hardly left a mark on the sofa jumped up again and headed upstairs without a word.

Liu Qingqing turned over on the sofa and gave her another look.

Another half hour passed.

Zhang Ye was eating Oreos when he heard footsteps on the stairs. Turning his head, he saw Luo Xin coming down.

She threw her toolbox onto the floor with a clatter.

"Done!"

"I fixed the lights in both bathrooms!"

"I tried the water, and it seems to be working; we can shower later."

Zhang Ye walked over with a smile and handed her a cookie.

Just as she opened her mouth to bite,

His voice rang in her ear again.

"I forgot to mention."

"There's a study upstairs too."

"I took a moment today to move the computer over."

"Could you check if—"

Luo Xin looked up at him, picked up the toolbox from the ground silently, and went upstairs again.

Another half-hour later.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The fan suddenly kicked into high gear.

The dazzling "Eye of Faith" logo lit up.

Excited, Zhang Ye watched the boot-up screen, thinking his 4090 had finally come back to life.

Just as he was about to praise his subordinate, he found Luo Xin lying flat on her back on the ground, looking like she could expire at any moment.

"Hey?"

"Why are you lying down?"

"There's still electricity to sort out in five or six bedrooms upstairs and downstairs!"

"Get up, get up!"

"The work isn't finished yet!"
