Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 25: Potential Cooperation with Boss Chu
"This is the owner of Jianglin Hotel."
If it weren’t for serious matters, Ling Feng still didn’t want to message Chu Jiangyue. What if he annoyed her and got blocked?
"Hotel owner? Then ask if it’s true that she can provide endless supplies of steamed buns and pork buns, and napa cabbage. Our entire base has over a million people."
From the original population of over twenty million to now over a million, to be honest, Lu Zhengyao was heartbroken.
But the dead are gone, and the living must continue living. They have no time for lamenting but can only face the difficulties head-on.
"Base Leader, it’s true our base has over a million people, but are you sure we can bring back so much material?"
Wanting to buy food for a million people in one go, Ling Feng thought it was an impossible task.
"You’re right, I was being unrealistic."
Lu Zhengyao quickly calmed down. Trying to buy food for a million people at once is indeed impossible.
"Since you’ve been there once and returned safely, can I ask you to lead other teams from the base?
We will issue missions and let the Superpower Team bring some back for us.
Little by little, we can solve the problem."
Besides, the base still has some stock that can hold out for a while.
By the time the base runs out of stock, the materials brought back from Jianglin Hotel will have accumulated substantially.
In this way, the food shortage problem at the base will naturally be resolved.
"Leading is not a problem, but I think the base might consider negotiating cooperation with Boss Chu."
Based on Ling Feng’s observations at Jianglin Hotel, he thought Chu Jiangyue might really like having someone increase her sales.
Currently, it seems no other base has contacted Chu Jiangyue, so why not make their base the first one?
Sending the Superpower Team on missions to buy is ultimately not a long-term solution.
Lu Zhengyao’s eyes lit up: "I’ll mobilize people immediately, and I’ll trouble you to lead them."
It’s better to let their own people negotiate cooperation matters in person.
"No problem, we can depart at any time."
Ling Feng still felt a strong sense of belonging to the safety base in B city and was quite willing to help base personnel.
"However, I suggest the Base Leader investigate when finalizing appointments.
Boss Chu has a bad temper, and if you send someone who annoys her, the cooperation might fail.
If it’s serious, they might even be blacklisted."
Ling Feng remembered Chu Jiangyue’s friendly reminder to him.
"Those on the blacklist are never allowed to step into Jianglin Hotel again."
It didn’t seem like a big deal right now, since there were still materials available outside Jianglin Hotel.
But Ling Feng had a premonition that the longer the apocalypse lasted, the more crucial the existence of Jianglin Hotel would become for them.
Hearing Ling Feng’s words, Lu Zhengyao nodded slightly: "I understand, I’ll have people pay attention."
If possible, Lu Zhengyao certainly didn’t want to offend the owner of Jianglin Hotel.
No matter what, operating a hotel in the apocalypse must be no simple feat.
"If there’s nothing else, shall we leave first?"
Ling Feng was also thinking about taking some of the gains from this outing to the base’s free trade market to sell some things he couldn’t use.
Lu Zhengyao waved his hand: "Go ahead, I’ll arrange personnel quickly and notify you."
Whether Jianglin Hotel is real or not, for the sake of everyone’s hunger at the base, Lu Zhengyao would have people investigate.
Meanwhile, inside Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue had no idea she was about to receive a huge business deal. At this moment, she had just finished eating and was strolling along the stone path within Jianglin Hotel’s premises, casually using her Wood Element Ability on the small saplings she planted. Then she returned to the two-story wooden house, went into the kitchen, opened a watermelon, and holding half of it, spoon in hand, walked towards Building No. 1.
Due to the high temperatures, people can’t go out during the day recently. Chu Jiangyue, in order to adapt to other people’s schedules, also had to change her working hours.
Today was the first day of working with the newly adjusted hours.
When Chu Jiangyue walked into Building No. 1 with half a watermelon, she happened to bump into Shen Zhigui and the other four who were about to leave.
Xie Silin’s eyes lit up when he saw the watermelon in Chu Jiangyue’s hand: "Boss Chu, you have a watermelon?"
"Don’t even think about it, this is mine, you can’t eat it.
But since you brought me so many guests, the fruit tree outside is showing signs of flowering today, so maybe it’ll bear fruit soon. Just wait a bit."
Little Fox had clearly stated that all the supplies prepared for her by the hotel could only be used by her, not even to be given away for free to others.
So, even if Xie Silin and the others craved it, Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t share with them.
"Is it the hotel’s rule again?"
Xie Silin felt that if it weren’t for the hotel’s rules, with their relationship with Boss Chu, she wouldn’t even mind selling them a bit of watermelon.
Chu Jiangyue did not reply, but her silence was an admission.
"Is Boss Chu working overtime today?"
It was already past 6 PM, and according to the usual schedule, Chu Jiangyue would have left. But now she specifically carried a watermelon back to Building No. 1.
Shen Zhigui instantly sensed something was off.
"No, I changed my working hours. People almost act only at night during the high-temperature weather, so..."
Chu Jiangyue didn’t continue, but Shen Zhigui and the others understood what she wanted to express.
"That’s indeed true. Boss Chu, what time did you change to? Maybe we can meet again when we come back!"
Su Zhucheng blurted out the question. After asking, he realized he might have inquired into a private matter of Boss Chu.
He quickly shut his mouth, stood at attention, and looked at Chu Jiangyue with an anxious expression.
"It’s okay, I was going to say it anyway.
I changed my working hours to 5 PM to 11 PM."
However, she didn’t guarantee she would be at Building No. 1 at 5 PM, as she might still be having dinner at that time.
But after 11 PM, she definitely wouldn’t be at Building No. 1, reinforcing the idea of never working overtime.
At this point, Su Zhucheng truly couldn’t guarantee they’d be back, so he let out a couple of awkward laughs.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"You guys are going out, right? Go ahead, don’t mind me."
Chu Jiangyue signaled Shen Zhigui and the others that they could leave freely and not to mind her.
"Then we’re off, Boss Chu, goodbye!"
Su Zhucheng quickly said, then dragged Lin Xuyuan out of Building No. 1.
Currently, in the vicinity of Prosperity Heights, only Jianglin Hotel was illuminated, like a lighthouse, they could find their way home as long as they saw the lights at night.
After Shen Zhigui and the others left Building No. 1, Chu Jiangyue focused on digging into the watermelon.
Needless to say, supplied by the system, there wasn’t a single seed in it, and it tasted very sweet.
In the scorching heat, taking a bite was an experience even immortal beings wouldn’t trade for.
"Host, Host, the male lead is here!"
After being silent for a long time, Little Fox suddenly spoke.
