Has the news about her love for sleeping in spread throughout the entire Jianglin Hotel?
The good mood she had from getting up early today suddenly vanished.
"You’re up quite early too, still keeping up with your workouts, very disciplined!"
Well, Chu Jiangyue just couldn’t stick to it.
If she hadn’t obtained the Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue might have been a bit more diligent, but she still might not have managed to keep up with daily workouts like Shen Zhigui.
Shen Zhigui noticed Chu Jiangyue seemed a bit unhappy, seemingly because of what he said about "getting up quite early."
But he couldn’t figure out what was there to be unhappy about with that statement, so he slightly frowned.
"It’s been my habit for many years and is probably one reason I could quickly adapt to the apocalypse, so I intend to stick with it."
Having a strong body is a basic asset for surviving the apocalypse.
If ever their health failed and they couldn’t go out to gather supplies and slay zombies, getting eliminated in the apocalypse wouldn’t be far off,
"That’s great, you keep it up."
Saying that, Chu Jiangyue brushed past Shen Zhigui and continued walking toward the office lobby.
Shen Zhigui instinctively turned to look at Chu Jiangyue’s back, feeling a bit of disappointment spreading in his chest.
However, thinking that Chu Jiangyue was just 18 years old, he figured it was because she hadn’t matured yet. So he adjusted his mood and continued with today’s workout plan.
Chu Jiangyue made her way to the office lobby and, upon entering, found quite a few people gathered around the display cabinet.
"There are women’s products for sale here!"
"Brown sugar ginger tea! This must be for us!"
"Buy, buy, buy! I’ve bought them all!"
Hearing people mention daily necessities and brown sugar ginger tea, Chu Jiangyue’s eyes lit up.
She opened her virtual panel to check the latest task progress.
[Task Issued: Please sell 2000 packs of brown sugar ginger tea and women’s product bundles within 3 days (1008/2000), Task Reward: To be unlocked]
Since people kept buying, the number kept fluctuating.
Some people bought several packs at once, causing the number to rapidly increase.
"Wow! As expected of the residents of the base, they seem quite wealthy."
Before, only around 200 packs sold in a day. Now that people from B City Base had arrived, the number soared past a thousand.
This rising trend even caused Little Fox to pop up.
『They’ve been cooped up in the base, collecting a fair amount of gold and silver jewelry. Now, coming to Jianglin Hotel, bringing it all out at once makes it seem like a lot.』
But whether they can continue living at Jianglin Hotel in the future depends on their ability to earn enough currency to support their stay at the hotel.
"Boss Chu is here!"
Someone in the crowd said, and many eyes focused on Chu Jiangyue.
"So this is the hotel owner? Looks quite young!"
"I never expected such a magical Jianglin Hotel to have a young girl as the owner."
"She’s got guts, opening a hotel alone, isn’t she afraid of being robbed?"
"Hmph, go ahead and try robbing the place."
After awakening her superpower, Chu Jiangyue’s senses became quite sharp. These people thought lowering their voices meant no one would hear them, but all of their comments were heard by Chu Jiangyue.
However, she didn’t care about what they were saying; she just wanted them to buy more women’s products and brown sugar ginger tea.
"Boss."
Seeing Chu Jiangyue, Chu Jiangyang paused his actions and greeted her.
"Just continue with your work, don’t mind me."
Up to now, people from B City Base still hadn’t completed all their check-in procedures.
But many at the end of the line had been persuaded by Song Chengjun and Lu Zhengyao to buy essential travel tents.
According to Song Chengjun’s plan, they would set up tents within a 10-meter radius outside Jianglin Hotel, temporarily settling down. Once the hotel released new rooms, they could rush to the office lobby to snatch a room immediately.
Otherwise, even when they were at the base earlier, they couldn’t get rooms in time.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t say anything about it. After all, no matter what lodging option they chose, it all contributed to Jianglin Hotel’s revenue.
Looking at the still long queue, Chu Jiangyue entered the reception area herself.
"Those needing identity cards or checking in can come over here to handle it."
As soon as Chu Jiangyue finished speaking, many started moving toward her.
"Are you also an employee of Jianglin Hotel? What’s your position? Is Jianglin Hotel hiring?"
The first person to come up to Chu Jiangyue didn’t charge his card or check in; he just fired off several questions.
Chu Jiangyue glanced at the questioner without answering: "Are you here for an identity card or check-in? Which service do you need?"
Chu Jiangyue wasn’t in the habit of indulging people.
"Why are you avoiding my questions? Are you afraid someone might be better suited for your job?"
This person clearly hadn’t heard the crowd’s previous banter.
If he had, he wouldn’t have asked whether Chu Jiangyue was an employee at Jianglin Hotel.
"If you’re not conducting business, please step aside, next one."
So far, Chu Jiangyue hadn’t considered hiring real people.
After all, possessing prized possessions without spreading it to others is dangerous, and she didn’t intend to expose her secrets to anyone.
"You’re guilty!"
"You’re a funny one! She’s the owner of Jianglin Hotel; it’s perfectly normal for her to work here, isn’t it?"
Those aware of Chu Jiangyue’s identity couldn’t help speaking up when they heard the man continuously provoking her.
Does the hotel’s owner have to accommodate your attitude while working in her own hotel?
The man didn’t expect Chu Jiangyue to be the hotel’s owner and suddenly felt a bit awkward.
"Uh... Boss Chu, I was just joking."
After departing from the base today, Captain Song had briefed them on matters regarding Jianglin Hotel.
First and foremost, the rule was to absolutely not provoke the hotel’s owner.
He’d assumed the owner would at least be a man, not expecting it to be a young woman.
"A joke funny to both parties is a joke. You don’t seem to be in urgent need of a hotel room, so kindly step aside and let others take your place."
Chu Jiangyue really didn’t plan to let this guy check in.
She had the privilege to decide who stays at her hotel.
"I need it! I have the elderly and children to tend to, so I definitely need to stay.
But... the price seems a bit steep. Could there be any discount?"
"No discounts, take it or leave it, next in line please."
Chu Jiangyue was done humoring him and promptly called forward the person behind him.
The next in line was a young guy, who, hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, quickly brought his things forward.
"I’d like to recharge and get an Identity Card, and also check in! I’m alone, and I’d like a deluxe single room."
The young guy promptly stated all his needs, indicating he’d done his homework beforehand.
"Sure, just place what you want to exchange here."
Chu Jiangyue pointed to the exchange device on the counter.
Following her instructions, the young guy pulled out several pieces of gold and silver jewelry from his backpack along with a few sporadic Zombie Crystal Cores.
