Shen Zhigui: I was careless.
"As long as we complete the construction with these materials, can we arrange the rest of our time freely?"
Although Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t accompany them here to build roads, there would always be a reason to find Chu Jiangyue in the future.
Shen Zhigui quickly accepted it, not feeling that working as a road worker was shameful.
Chu Jiangyue nodded: "Of course, once the task is completed, where you want to go is your business.
Every day, robots will bring materials over; you just need to ensure that you complete it on time and in full each day."
Although Chu Jiangyue is a businesswoman, she couldn’t operate like landlords in ancient times, who wouldn’t rest until they skinned the last layer off their employees.
As a boss, Chu Jiangyue’s management style is indeed very loose, all work relying on the employees’ self-awareness.
"Don’t worry, Boss Chu, we will definitely complete the task on time,"
Shen Zhigui smiled, promising Chu Jiangyue.
Chu Jiangyue was no longer an easily persuaded 18-year-old girl; she remained noncommittal to Shen Zhigui’s words.
Whether they could truly complete the work on time and in full depended on their work attitude in the following days.
"I’ll be leaving now, get on with the work yourselves."
After speaking, Chu Jiangyue turned and left without hesitation.
Watching Chu Jiangyue’s departing figure, Shen Zhigui silently lamented that the road to pursuing a wife was long, and he didn’t know when he would truly become friends and equals with Chu Jiangyue.
To develop a romantic relationship, he must start from becoming a true friend.
Indeed, despite Chu Jiangyue treating Shen Zhigui and these guests quite well and sometimes interacting with them like regular friends,
Shen Zhigui could feel that though Chu Jiangyue seemed good to everyone, the only person who had barely made it into her heart so far was Granny Hua.
However, Granny Hua only came to Chu Jiangyue’s place at appointed times to cook, ignoring all other matters.
If anyone asked her about Chu Jiangyue, Granny Hua never disclosed any private details about her.
This was something that gave Chu Jiangyue some comfort.
Upon returning from outside, Chu Jiangyue went back behind the counter in the business hall, ready to help whenever there was business for the day.
Chu Jiangyue had just gotten to her post when Jin Chuyu entered with a group of people.
With people queued on the other side with Chu Jiangyang, Jin Chuyu directly approached Chu Jiangyue’s side and with a wave to the Space Ability User inside, revealed a full tray of crystal cores.
"You all... did you stir up a mutated animal nest?"
Chu Jiangyue instantly recognized the crystal cores they brought out as Mutated Animal Crystal Cores.
Don’t ask her how she could tell; she didn’t know about others, but she had this natural intuition.
"Encountered a small mutated rabbit herd."
"As long as you weren’t hurt, how do you plan to split them?"
Even in a Superpower Team, the distribution of spoils was a matter of honor.
"The captain gets half, Brother Jun 30%, and the remaining three of us split the rest."
The Space Ability User who had just taken out the crystal cores stated the distribution plan.
"Wouldn’t 20% for three of you be too low? How about I give you 21% then?"
"No problem, let’s split it that way."
In this matter, the one getting the short end would be Huo Jun, but as long as he agreed, the others had no reason to disagree.
Since Huo Jun had no objection, Chu Jiangyue told the system in her mind the "spoils sharing" requirement.
Little Fox quickly stored the crystal cores away and then had Chu Jiangyue and Huo Jun and the others swipe their Identity Cards respectively.
After swiping their Identity Cards, their accounts were credited with the corresponding amount of Gold Coins.
"All set, you guys can check it."
When the Gold Coins were credited, Jin Chuyu and the others had already seen it, no need to check again.
"We encountered a mutated rabbit herd this time and also got some rabbit pelts. We will tan them and put them on sale in the store. If Boss Chu is interested, you can come by and take a look."
Before leaving the business hall, Jin Chuyu advertised to Chu Jiangyue.
However, hearing Jin Chuyu mention buying rabbit pelts roused some curiosity in Chu Jiangyue: "Sure, I’ll stop by in a couple of days to take a look."
"By the way, is there any difference in these mutated rabbits compared to before? If I encounter them when I go outside, I’d like to know more about them."
So far, Chu Jiangyue had only encountered Mutated Tigers, Mutated Wolves, and Mutated Rats.
"They’re five to six times the size of the original mutated rabbits, with the larger ones about the size of a normal Tibetan Mastiff."
Without such a size, Jin Chuyu wouldn’t have spent so much time and effort to strip the rabbit fur.
"That big!? If mutant rabbit meat is edible, wouldn’t that mean..."
Rabbit meat is quite tasty, and such a big rabbit, spicy rabbit head could be the PLUS version?
Thinking of this made Chu Jiangyue’s eyes light up.
The five people of Jin Chuyu’s team all looked up at Chu Jiangyue, unexpectedly realizing that the seemingly harmless Chu Jiangyue’s first thought about the rabbits was if they were edible.
"It should be... edible, right? We didn’t bring back rabbit meat, just the pelts.
If Boss Chu wants rabbit meat, next time we encounter them, we can bring the meat back too."
Jin Chuyu didn’t know why, but upon knowing Chu Jiangyue wanted to eat rabbit meat, the first thought was, "Let her eat! Let her eat!"
"No worries, just tell me where you encountered them, and I can go look for them myself."
Chu Jiangyue didn’t feel right letting Jin Chuyu’s team specially bring back rabbit meat for her.
After all, she wasn’t some dainty woman who couldn’t lift or carry things.
"It’s a small favor. If you are interested in rabbit pelts, I’ll save you a pretty one."
Not all the rabbit pelts they encountered in the mutated rabbit herd were pure white; there were mixed colors and gray ones, too.
Jin Chuyu reckoned that with Chu Jiangyue’s personality, she might prefer pure white pelts more.
"Great, send me a message when it’s ready, and I’ll transfer the money to you then."
Jin Chuyu was so enthusiastic about selling them that Chu Jiangyue, feeling curious herself, simply agreed, which also saved her from making a choice herself.
Everyone knows those with a choice paralysis disorder dislike facing choices.
"Alright!"
Jin Chuyu’s mouth lifted slightly at the corners, looking at Chu Jiangyue with an expression that immediately increased Huo Jun’s sense of crisis.
"Alright then, Boss Chu has other guests to attend to, let’s go back and rest for a bit."
Huo Jun, grabbing Jin Chuyu’s hand, led the group quickly towards the business hall’s exit.
Jin Churan scratched his head, wondering why the atmosphere between his sister and Boss Chu felt a bit off just now.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t notice anything at all, even feeling that Jin Chuyu was being friendly because of her status as the hotel’s owner.
Forming good relations with Chu Jiangyue could mean hearing about new releases or other events of Jianglin Hotel before others.
Everyone has personal motives; the treatment of ordinary guests and friends is definitely different.
Seeing the difference between Granny Hua and other guests, this was pretty clear.
