under the tower

The art of controlling people is probably just a natural skill for Ji Xi.

When he went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast in the morning, he discussed it with the staff there. Anyway, Lu Mingxiu gave enough points—Ji Xi directly packed half of the place with a wave of his hand, and ordered several dishes for the back kitchen to prepare in advance. In this way, they can eat hot meals directly after training.

For recruits who have just joined the army and are still poor and white, this is obviously a very heartwarming move.

There are long plastic tables in the cafeteria, and it’s already time for meals. Originally, the cafeteria was already full at this time, and even the seats had to be scrambled, but now the entire cafeteria has been deliberately vacated, and no one is seated. All kinds of steaming dishes were already set on the table, just looking at them made people's index fingers move. Several staff members who maintained order stood aside, stretching their necks and waiting.

Ji Xi swaggered into the cafeteria with a large group of people, and the staff immediately greeted him with nods and bows, with smiles all over their faces: "Mr. Lu, please hurry up."

For this meal, each of them got a "service fee" of [-] points from Ji Xi. How dare they not try their best to please this God of Wealth.

"Everyone sit down wherever you want." Ji Xi said indifferently, "You're welcome."

The cafeteria resounded with the cheers of the recruits almost blowing off the roof.

Ji Xi's battle this time was quite ostentatious - of course he did it on purpose, even many recruits at the next table who were not in their company cast envious looks.

A long table can accommodate about seven or eight people. Ji Xi sat at the table with Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda. After going through this incident, many recruits who had doubts about Ji Xi before came over very affectionately. A table with the chief.

Ji Xi was instantly surrounded by the excited crowd, but his eyes couldn't help but look across the crowd, looking at Yan Yi who was walking at the end.

The man was completely at the back of the line, as if there was an invisible wall between him and the cheerful atmosphere of the crowd. His face was extremely stern, and he looked extremely out of place.

I don't know if it was Ji Xi's illusion, but after feeling Ji Xi's gaze, Yan raised his eyes, and his eyes met his.

Ji Xi looked at him straight in the eyes, and then, the next second, he put on a polite smile on his face, and in front of Yan Yi, surrounded by everyone, he randomly picked a few recruits who were closest to him.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You, you, and you, sit here, I happen to have a few vacant seats here, don't be cautious, just treat me as a friend."

Those who were selected immediately showed excited and honored expressions.

Ji Xi's table was quickly filled up, and the other people who were not ordered by Ji Xi couldn't hide their disappointment, and they also took seats at the tables next to him.

The recruits who were tired all morning soon began to feast.

Ji Xi chewed and ate his meal slowly, the people at the table kept talking loudly, Ji Xi occasionally answered a few words, and the word "um" was used the most.

Yan Yi sat in the corner, because there were only the last few people left, and his table was not full, there were only three people in total, and it was diagonally opposite to Ji Xi's table, almost half the distance away from the cafeteria.

Ji Xi lowered his head and took another mouthful of food, thoughtfully. Then, when he raised his head again, at that moment, his auditory perception was artificially reorganized, and the noisy voices around him were blocked out, as if separated by a layer of water. He could only vaguely hear a little sound, but on the contrary, he shifted the focus of his hearing to the place where Yan Yi was at the table, and only captured their voices.

This is another useless power of Ji Xi's. He couldn't tell what his motive was, but he just wanted to do it suddenly.

Compared to the bustle of Ji Xi's place, Yan Yi's table seemed particularly deserted since there were only three people.

Yan was facing each other and the two were discussing irrelevant topics, while Yan Yi was eating in silence without interjecting a word.

After a while, one of them said: "Brother Yan, why don't you speak?"

The other said: "Oh, brother Yan was targeted by that officer in full view this morning, and now he has to eat the meal he invited. I must be upset if it were me!"

"Yes." The man echoed, "Our vice company Lu, tsk tsk, he doesn't have much ability at first glance. He looks so evil, and he must be the concubine of someone from the Lu family if he can get into this position. No one in Beicheng knows about private matters, you know who I'm talking about..."

"I understand, I understand! That's right, isn't it just a duck who sells the top of the ass hole, what's the matter, wearing small shoes is quite smooth." The man was quite indignant to fight for Yan Yi, "Brother Yan, don't you With the average knowledge of this kind of person, our brother will not be bought by his little favor..."

Ji Xi's face darkened.

The chopsticks slapped the edge of the bowl, making an untimely stabbing sound.

Chen Guangda next to him was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Vice Lu, what's wrong with you? Is the food in our cafeteria not to your liking?"

Ji Xi lowered her eyes: "It's okay, you can eat what you want."

For the first time in his life, Ji Xi, who was well-educated since childhood, had the urge to swear.

It's not that he didn't expect there to be such gossiping villains in the army, there are many such people everywhere, but you fucking talking in front of Yanyi, that's playing disco on Lao Tzu's minefield, Don't think he died fast enough!

He really wanted to rush over and slap those two idiots, Ji Xi realized his crazy idea, took a few deep breaths and held it back.

On the other side of the cafeteria, Yanyi didn't say a word after the meal from beginning to end.

Why doesn't he speak?

It should be disdain to talk to those people, right?Otherwise why?

and many more……

...Damn it, this guy won't believe it, will he?

A strange thought suddenly popped up in Ji Xi's mind.

Please, Yan Yi wouldn't really believe such a ridiculous thing, would he?

Ji Xi shook, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

In the afternoon, Ji Xi stared intently at the training ground.

He asked Wang Cheng to transfer the roster files of all the recruits, and made up his mind to kick out those two flies that always surrounded Yan Yi in the next assessment.

Later, Huang Huaiyuan also came. He propped up the electric crutches and left after a few words of education. Everyone thought he was not him.

In the evening, Lao Huang organized Ji Xi, Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda to have a small meeting. The main content was to discuss Friday's assessment, preparations, etc. Ji Xi had to have dinner with them again.

Huang Huaiyuan is addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. With him around, it's not enough to drink a few glasses of water. That night, Ji Xi bit the bullet and drank two catties of white wine with him, and his body was covered by the unpleasant smell of smoke. After being smoked inside and out, he finally drank Huang Huaiyuan and lay down.

After a dinner, Ji Xi blocked the main firepower of Lao Huang's drinking. In the end, Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda's faces turned slightly red, and they said gratefully to Ji Xi: "Let's send Lao Huang back, you have worked hard today Come on, take a rest now, let me call a car for you?"

Ji Xi was actually a little drunk, but he wouldn't lose consciousness completely, but walking back alone was probably too much, so he agreed to their proposal.

Wang Cheng sent Ji Xi to the car, paid in advance, and the car sped away.

Back at the apartment building, the first thing Ji Xi did was to take off all his newly bought clothes and throw them on the ground. This newly bought expensive suit immediately became a ball of pickles.

It stinks, Ji Xi frowned and rushed into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Ji Xi heaved a sigh of relief, stared at the clothes in the room, and was stunned.

Reason told him that he should wash these clothes, but in fact he would not at all.

In the whole 20 years, Ji Xi barely used the washing machine, but he never washed his clothes by himself, including when he was in Yan's family-even when they knew it well, Ji Xi was so anxious that he even forgot his pants After taking it off, of course it got dirty in the end, and it was Yan Yi who wiped the liquid-stained clothes clean for him the next day.

Ji Xi called up the FAQ guide for moving into the apartment that came with the smart panel, and searched for instructions on washing clothes.

According to the guidebook, there is a public laundry room on the basement floor of Building No. 33 where he lives, with a charge of two points at a time.

Ji Xi randomly found a paper bag, stuffed the dirty clothes he had hoarded for two days into it, and carried it downstairs.

It was very late, and the entire basement floor was empty. The moment the elevator door opened, cold air seeped out from the outside, and the surrounding was pitch black, and the sensor light was broken.

There was no sound around, and the cold darkness surrounded Ji Xi who was alone, as if something would come out of the darkness at any moment.

Ji Xi carried the bag expressionlessly, and walked to a heavy door in the dark. He has a little bit of night vision ability, and it is not impossible to see everything clearly when there is no light at all.

There were three large characters "laundry room" written on the door, and there were a lot of papers with messy things written on them in rows, Ji Xi didn't look at it, just pushed the door open and went in.

Fortunately, the sensor light in the laundry room was not broken, and the light inside the door automatically turned on when the door was opened.

There were six huge drum washing machines, with a lot of buttons for various functions on them, which looked much more advanced than the old-fashioned washing machines of the Yan family, which only had two buttons, "Start" and "End".

But the advanced washing machine may not only have benefits, Ji Xi stared blankly at the pile of buttons, at a loss.

"Self-Programming", "Standard", "A Gentle", "B Gentle", "C Gentle", "Reservation", "Program"...

Ji Xi: "..."

How to use these keys?What is the difference between these ABCs?

It seems that different clothes are washed in different ways...

Ji Xi felt that she had encountered the biggest problem in her life—how to wash uniforms, shirts, suits, ties, and underwear?Can we wash together?How long to wash?

It's all a mess...

Just when Ji Xi was thinking hard, thinking whether he should go back and take a dip in a basin of water by himself, the door of the laundry room was pushed open from the outside.

Ji Xi stared blankly at the visitor, he didn't expect such a coincidence to happen in the world.

It was Yan Yi who entered the door, and the man was also carrying a bag of clothes, he was obviously startled when he saw Ji Xi.
