As she expected, Tie Zhu was an honest man. After taking a glance at her, his eyes widened in shock.

“Brother Tie Zhu, come over and help me up!” Li Wei waved at him in a coquettish tone, begging for his help.

Director Zhang, Auntie Wang, and Xiao Gu were all disgusted by her behavior. It was obvious her fall was not an accident at all.

She deserved it.

But Li Wei had underestimated Tie Zhu.

“I am a married man. We should keep a distance. I can’t help you!” Tie Zhu said seriously. “Besides, I saw that you did it on purpose!”

Not only was she rejected by Tie Zhu, but also her motive was also exposed in front of everyone. Li Wei’s face darkened.

“Humph!”

She felt embarrassed and went back to the tent to sleep.

The nighttime passed by quickly, and a new morning arrived.

Director Zhang woke everyone up early in the morning. “Everyone should be very clear about today’s mission. If you can’t complete it, there won’t be any food for you!” He was staring Liu Yufan and Li Wei while he was still speaking.

“I’ll definitely finish my job today!” Liu Yufan was full of confidence. Xiao Gu told her about his trade with Chang Yuan. So, she could finish her job easily as she could get food from Chang Yuan.

Liu Yufan secretly pulled Li Wei to the side and asked quietly, “Do you still have your phone?”

Li Wei was confused. Her phone was soaked in water and died completely. Why was she asking this?

“Come with me, I’ll take you to a place!” Liu Yufan’s mysterious manner made Li Wei puzzled.

“Shouldn’t we be looking for food first? If we don’t bring any food back today, they will let us starve.”

Liu Yufan smiled confidently, “Just come with me. I promise we will finish the task in no time!”

Li Wei still had some doubts, but she followed Liu Yufan anyway to the hillside outside the forest.

Wasn’t this the way to Chang Yuan’s place?

Was she trying to steal food from Chang Yuan?

“Wait, there are only two of us. How are we going to steal their food? If we’re caught, we might be beaten to death. Have you forgotten how Director Liu died last time?” Li Wei was a little scared.

“Steal? Who said we’re going to steal?” Liu Yufan retorted, “We’re going to exchange our phones for food!”

Phone?

Exchange for food?

Her phone had been soaked in seawater for a while. Besides, this was a deserted island, and the phone had no battery. Even if it was charged, there was no signal. What was the use of having a phone?

“Why do you care so much? We can exchange it for food. Isn’t this a good thing? Who cares, maybe there’s something wrong with Chang Yuan’s brain.”

They soon arrived at the mountainside.

When they saw the two-meter-high fenced yard, they were both shocked. “They even built a yard? This is amazing!”

“It looks pretty. They even got wildflowers on it. I want to live here too!” Li Wei looked at the wall in surprise.

Then she spotted Chang Yuan who was preparing to install the gate at the entrance of the fence.

Chang Yuan had seen them already, but he did not pay them any attention. He was busy with his work.

“Hey!” Liu Yufan called out to Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan ignored her as he continued working on the gate.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she walked closer and shouted at him, “I heard that you could trade us some food? How about this phone? Would you exchange food with us?”

When Chang Yuan heard her, he laughed in his heart. He knew his plan had worked.

The three girls who were busy decorating the courtyard noticed that Liu Yufan and Li Wei were here to exchange food. They were surprised that Chang Yuan’s plan actually worked. They were impressed by Chang Yuan’s foresight.

The phone was just a trash to them, but Chang Yuan could fix them and make them very useful.

Chang Yuan put down the work in his hands and sized them up.

Although Liu Yufan and Li Wei were dressed neatly, their faces looked terrible, especially Liu Yufan’s. It had been a few days since her last shot of hyaluronic acid. Her face started to distort a little.

“Exchange for food? What did you bring?” Chang Yuan glanced at the two girls and found that Liu Yufan and Li Wei were both carrying a bag.

Liu Yufan was carrying a Givenchy bag while Li Wei was carrying a Gucci bag.

They were both made of real leather, which was not bad.

“Take a look. Tell us how much food you can exchange for these two phones?” Liu Yufan and Li Wei took out their phones and gave them to Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan frowned. “Tsk, tsk, tsk! These two phones were soaked in water, and they were out of battery for a long time. It’s useless. One phone for a fish! That is the best I can do”

When they heard him, the two girls both felt distressed.

Chang Yuan added, “Let me tell you the rules. The amount of food we’ll trade with you depends on the value of your items. A useless phone is equal to a fish. Useful clothes and daily necessities can be exchanged for five fish!”

“If you have tools, you can exchange for more!”

Hearing this, Liu Yufan instantly became excited.

Li Wei was also happy. It was obvious that the two of them had a lot of daily necessities on them. They were mostly cosmetics and female items like napkins.

“Then… I’ll exchange all these things!” Liu Yufan said as she opened her Givenchy bag and poured out all the things inside.

Perfume, lipstick, eyebrow pencil, makeup, everything.

On the other side, in Li Wei’s Gucci bag had sanitary napkins, toilet paper, key chains, nail clippers, and others.

Chang Yuan looked at them and found that they were all in good condition. “Alright, I’ll take all of them!”

As he spoke, Chang Yuan waved to the women in the courtyard.

Immediately, Zhuo Qianqian came forward. Chang Yuan handed all the things to her and gave her a meaningful look. He instructed, “Take them to get food!”

Zhuo Qianqian was shrewd. She immediately got the meaning behind Chang Yuan’s gaze.

Moreover, she had heard Chang Yuan’s conversation with the two women.

“Your stuff is useful. It can be exchanged for a lot of food. It should be enough to last three to four days!” Zhuo Qianqian said to Liu Yufan and Li Wei.

When they reached the entrance of the cave, Zhuo Qianqian stopped and told them to wait outside. They were not allowed to enter.

Liu Yufan was very happy in her heart. She probably could get three to four days’ supply of food.

When she went back later, she’d like to see their reactions.

She had completed the mission and brought food back, wouldn’t she deserved to be praised?

Zhuo Qianqian was in the cave. She took some dried sea fish and some cooked crabs and prawns. However, she did not put them into a bag for the two women.

“So much? That’s great! I didn’t expect that those useless stuff could be exchanged for so much food. It’s enough for us to eat for a week!” Li Wei thought it was a good deal..
