It was probably because Little Fox had felt some guilt for waking Chu Jiangyue up the previous two times that, on the second day, it really didn’t wake her, letting her sleep until she woke naturally.
Chu Jiangyue leisurely washed up, ate breakfast, and then walked out.
Today, Chu Jiangyue picked out a cool and industrial-style strapped dress in the dressing room, paired with a pair of black Martin boots.
Her slightly curly long hair reached her waist. If it weren’t for the ruins outside Jianglin Hotel, seeing Chu Jiangyue like this would make you think they were still before the apocalypse.
Sure enough, as soon as Chu Jiangyue stepped out, the guests who had gotten up and were wandering around the lawn within Jianglin Hotel were stupefied.
During the apocalypse, only Boss Chu seemed to have the means to keep herself so well-groomed.
"Good morning, Boss Chu!"
"It’s already half-past ten. Not so early."
...
"Boss Chu, have you eaten?"
"I have."
Chu Jiangyue eventually walked over to the fruit tree she had planted earlier.
In just a few days, it had grown from a small sapling, half as tall as a person, into a tree that required a person to wrap their arms around it, resembling a large green canopy from afar.
Chu Jiangyue raised her hand and infused it with some Wood Element Ability.
"Boss Chu, when will it bear fruit?"
Many people saw Chu Jiangyue holding half a watermelon and eating it yesterday, and it would be false to say they weren’t envious.
So, knowing that this was the only fruit tree in the hotel, personally planted by Chu Jiangyue, many people looked forward to it.
"Soon."
Yesterday, Chu Jiangyue had noticed some flower buds growing, with the tree’s rapid growth rate it should blossom today, bear fruit tomorrow, and ripen the day after.
However, Chu Jiangyue didn’t explain all of this because it was just a guess; the specific timing was still uncertain.
Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, Jiang He’s eyes lit up and he tentatively asked:
"Boss Chu, about the fruit you mentioned earlier, which would be sold to us first, is that still valid?"
Chu Jiangyue glanced at Jiang He, then nodded, "Of course."
As long as they could afford it, she didn’t mind selling all the fruit from the tree to them.
However, Chu Jiangyue knew well the principle of rarity being valuable, and these fruits wouldn’t be sold cheaply.
She just hoped that when they saw the price, they wouldn’t be frightened.
After infusing the fruit tree with Wood Element Ability, Chu Jiangyue returned to the wooden house, then came back out holding a folding recliner and a small folding table.
People chatting on the lawn watched as Chu Jiangyue set up the recliner and table, then lay down on it.
She even placed a pile of snacks and drinks on the table.
Others: Comparing oneself to others is really infuriating!
"Boss Chu’s life is really enviable!"
"This lifestyle is even more comfortable than before the apocalypse for me."
"No wonder she’s the boss."
Shen Zhigui looked at the person reclining with eyes closed, then turned back to Building 1.
"Host, how can you be so idle? Since you have nothing to do, have you considered going out to attract guests to the hotel?"
"With the temperature so high outside, how long do you think I can last after going out?"
In her previous life, Chu Jiangyue had endured the high temperatures herself and was determined not to go through it again.
Little Fox was left speechless by Chu Jiangyue’s words.
Well, she was speaking the truth.
Little Fox pondered for a while and then dangled a carrot in front of Chu Jiangyue.
"Host, as long as you complete the task quickly, I will help you strive for a more practical task reward this time."
"What reward?"
Anyone can make empty promises; what Chu Jiangyue wanted was a real commitment.
"I haven’t fought for it yet! But I guarantee it will be the most practical reward currently available. Don’t you trust me, host?"
Little Fox gave Chu Jiangyue a sincere look.
Chu Jiangyue: Just because it’s you handling it, that’s why I’m not assured.
"Got it, I’ll think of something."
In fact, Chu Jiangyue was quite looking forward to what results Ling Feng and the others would bring her after returning from B City Safety Base these days.
If people came to stay, it would be even better.
Having received Chu Jiangyue’s promise, Little Fox gave her a thumbs up; it knew it wouldn’t disappoint!
Little Fox scampered around and then disappeared to find something to play with.
And finally, the people Chu Jiangyue had been eagerly expecting from B City Safety Base arrived late in the evening.
Little Fox ran back excitedly: "Host, host! The person leading seems to be Ling Feng who’s been to the hotel before, along with his two buddies."
Little Fox’s observational range was much wider than Chu Jiangyue’s naked eye; as soon as it saw them, it couldn’t wait to report to Chu Jiangyue.
"Where are they?"
Chu Jiangyue got up from the recliner, as Ling Feng had mentioned they would promote Jianglin Hotel upon returning to B City Safety Base.
"Right away, host, you can tidy up first."
Little Fox glanced at the recliner and small table beside Chu Jiangyue, which were covered with today’s empty snack and drink packages.
If other guests saw this, it wouldn’t make a good first impression.
After all, who would want to stay at a place where the boss seemed unreliable at first glance?
Chu Jiangyue quickly tidied up the trash, then dragged the recliner and small table under the grand fruit tree.
Just as Chu Jiangyue finished tidying up, Little Fox informed her that the guests had arrived at the entrance.
Turning around, she indeed saw quite a large crowd, with Ling Feng and his two buddies leading at the forefront.
Seeing the group gradually approaching Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue’s eyes gleamed with surprise.
She had expected Ling Feng would bring some people over but hadn’t anticipated such a sizable group.
For the first time, Chu Jiangyue went to the entrance of Jianglin Hotel to greet them.
"Boss Chu, nice to see you again."
Ling Feng got out of the SUV, his face beaming with a bright smile.
The others, hearing Ling Feng addressing as "Boss Chu," were somewhat surprised, not expecting the hotel owner to be such a young girl.
However, they were meticulously selected by Lu Zhengyao, with character guaranteed.
Though surprised, they did not show any disrespect.
"Captain Ling, please come in."
Chu Jiangyue gestured invitingly and stepped aside.
Ling Feng and a man of upright stature entered Jianglin Hotel side by side.
Even though it was Ling Feng’s second visit, upon entering Jianglin Hotel, he still felt amazed.
This comfortable temperature felt like heaven on earth.
The man walking alongside Ling Feng inside Jianglin Hotel was slightly surprised by the noticeable temperature difference inside and outside.
"Boss Chu, you are truly extravagant."
Just the temperature maintenance must consume an enormous amount of resources, something even the B City Safety Base couldn’t achieve.
Chu Jiangyue raised an eyebrow, smiled silently.
However, although the leader managed to keep his emotions in check, not everyone could do the same.
