Chu Jiangyue immediately recognized her as the girl who came over yesterday with a few other girls to discuss the construction of a safety passage.
"It’s not my working hours yet. After 10 o’clock, you can find me in the office lobby."
Little Fox had already told Chu Jiangyue what happened at the entrance, and if Chu Jiangyue had a good impression of the girl yesterday, now she felt nothing.
She didn’t need to do anything every day to have a constant stream of Gold Coins, silver coins, and Copper Coins coming in, while they had to worry about daily room and living expenses.
Even though they’re all girls, the huge difference in their living conditions naturally breeds jealousy, which Chu Jiangyue could understand.
But if jealousy doesn’t know how to restrain itself, then she’ll just show them there’s even more to be jealous of.
The girl probably didn’t expect Chu Jiangyue to react like this.
No reprimand or blame, but excusing herself with the working hours left her feeling even more embarrassed.
"Sister Chu..."
"My parents never gave me a sister, Miss Zhao, please mind your choice of address."
A glint of coldness flashed in Chu Jiangyue’s eyes, making Zhao Wenshan involuntarily take a step back.
Yesterday was not like this at all. She thought Chu Jiangyue would let her slide due to their connection with T City.
"I understand, Boss! Chu!"
The last three words "Boss Chu" were said through gritted teeth.
Calling her Sister Chu was just to create an illusion for others that she had a closer relationship with Chu Jiangyue, but it backfired in the end.
Being put on the spot like that by Chu Jiangyue, Zhao Wenshan was too embarrassed to stay any longer and ran away covering her face.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t bother with her. Granny Hua had already prepared breakfast. She turned around and walked into the living room to start her first meal of the day.
"Little Fox, do you know which room the Base Chief of T City lives in?"
When receiving new guests, it was a task shared between Chu Jiangyue and Chu Jiangyang. As for this Base Chief of T City, Chu Jiangyue had no impression, probably received by Chu Jiangyang.
"The official Base Chief of T City lives in a three-bedroom one-hall in Zone B. Is the host looking for someone?"
"For something like constructing a safety passage, it’s definitely more straightforward to talk directly with the decision-maker."
Chu Jiangyue almost bluntly expressed her dislike for Zhao Wenshan.
"Would you like me to send a message to the Base Chief of T City on your behalf?"
After all, Little Fox was the Spiritual Leader and kept track of everything at Jianglin Hotel, so sending a message was a trivial task.
"Send it!"
Chu Jiangyue wanted Zhao Wenshan to realize that not just anyone can be offended.
On her turf, regardless of who you are, you have to behave.
After she finished speaking, Little Fox started working on the task.
During the process, its tail was waving around enthusiastically.
Chu Jiangyue watched covetously, and once Little Fox sent out the message, she hugged it tight and gave it a good rub.
Little Fox: What is it like to have a host who always wants to pull it bald?
But, Little Fox was just a string of data, so no matter how much Chu Jiangyue pulled at it, it wouldn’t go bald.
Technology changes lives, who wouldn’t want to have a furry friend that never goes bald no matter how much you pull at it?
On the other side, Ban Huafang, the Base Chief of T City’s official base, looked puzzled as the virtual screen suddenly lit up in front of her.
However, in the next second, she saw a message in bold capital letters: Good morning, Ms. Ban Huafang, Base Chief of T City’s official base!
Construction of a safety passage, meet at the office hall after 10 o’clock!
——Jianglin Hotel Owner Chu Jiangyue
Looking at the message on the virtual screen, Ban Huafang’s pupils shrank slightly.
The safety passage, wasn’t that the issue Xiao Zhao came to her about yesterday?
This morning, Xiao Zhao had mentioned wanting to seek confirmation on the construction plan of the safety passage from Boss Chu, so why did the hotel directly send her a message now?
But the safety passage was an important matter, and Ban Huafang couldn’t allow any mistakes with it, so she decided to follow the information provided and meet Chu Jiangyue at the office hall after 10 o’clock.
Before going to the office hall, Ban Huafang found Zhao Wenshan in the friends list on the virtual screen and sent her a message, inquiring about the progress of the safety passage issue on her side.
However, the message went unanswered for a long time, and there was no response from Zhao Wenshan.
Recalling the previous message, Ban Huafang speculated that something unexpected might have happened on Zhao Wenshan’s end.
Without further ado, Ban Huafang skipped breakfast and went straight for the office hall with her team.
As for arriving after 10, she paid no mind to this detail at all.
After Little Fox sent the message to Ban Huafang, Chu Jiangyue didn’t give it any more thought. She leisurely finished the seafood porridge specially made by Granny Hua, then grabbed a princess umbrella, and clad in an asymmetrical Melard wasteland-style slip dress with vintage English boots, she sauntered towards the office hall.
Today’s miracle Yueyue outfit showcased a wasteland style paired with a princess umbrella mix-and-match ensemble.
She gracefully ignored the curious glances from the surrounding hotel guests and walked into the office hall.
At this hour, Chu Jiangyang was already at work.
As soon as Chu Jiangyue stepped into the office hall, someone came up to her.
"Hello, Boss Chu! I am Ban Huafang, the Base Chief of T City’s official base."
Seeing Ban Huafang, Chu Jiangyue was somewhat surprised.
She hadn’t expected T City’s official base chief to be a woman.
"Hello, Ms. Ban, shall we chat over there?"
Chu Jiangyue gestured to the unoccupied seating area.
Ms. Ban naturally had no objections. She found the setup of this seating area very humane.
Otherwise, sometimes when lines are too long, there’s nowhere to take a break.
The two quickly sat down in the seating area, but no sooner had they done so when Zhao Wenshan came over.
"Aunt Ban, I..."
At this moment, Zhao Wenshan’s eyes were still red. To the uninformed, it would seem like she had been wronged somehow.
However, Ban Huafang wasn’t someone who’d listen to just one side of the story. She turned to Chu Jiangyue, hoping to hear her version of the events.
"Boss Chu, the safety passage issue was previously discussed with Wenshan, but this morning I suddenly received a message from you.
I want to know why you temporarily changed the contact person?"
Ban Huafang didn’t want T City to leave a bad impression with Chu Jiangyue at all costs.
Hearing Ban Huafang’s question, Zhao Wenshan immediately lifted her head to look at Chu Jiangyue: "Chu Jiangyue, you! Despicable!"
"Ms. Ban, make sure you pick your allies wisely in the future."
Ban Huafang glanced at Zhao Wenshan and sighed silently in her heart. She had high hopes for Zhao Wenshan and even considered grooming her as a successor.
But before she could even voice this, Zhao Wenshan had already offended the owner of Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue.
Even for the sake of T City’s residents, she couldn’t rely on Zhao Wenshan any longer.
Don’t call her pragmatic; she’s merely seeking a glimmer of hope for T City’s few survivors.
"Wenshan, from now on... just focus on living your life well. You don’t need to worry about my matters."
