Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 70: Want to Bring Someone Back to Jianglin Hotel
Back at the villa, Shen Zhigui and the others had already helped her tidy up a room.
The villa wasn’t large, but with three floors, it easily accommodated the six of them.
"Boss Chu, you’re back. We prepared a room for you on the second floor. Let us know if there’s anything you need."
Su Zhucheng was the first to notice Chu Jiangyue’s return and naturally shifted the topic to the room.
Following Su Zhucheng, Chu Jiangyue went up to the second floor and entered the room they had prepared for her.
Chu Jiangyue wasn’t picky about where she stayed, and Shen Zhigui and his friends had indeed cleaned it well, even laying a clean bedsheet on the bed for her.
You never know what Jiang He has stored in his space; he even had bedsheets.
"We collected these earlier for our own use, but since the Jianglin Hotel came around, we haven’t needed them.
Never expected they’d come in handy now."
It just goes to show that anything you collect will eventually prove its value when you least expect it.
"Boss Chu!"
At that moment, Song Chengjun’s voice echoed from the first floor.
Chu Jiangyue and Su Zhucheng both stepped out of the room and went downstairs.
"Boss Chu, regarding the gold coins needed for the deposit, can we exchange them right now?"
A live exchange?
Chu Jiangyue furrowed her brows slightly; she didn’t have an exchange device at hand. If they wanted an on-the-spot exchange like before at that school, they’d need to pay 5 Gold Coins to activate a temporary exchange channel.
"You know it costs 5 Gold Coins to open a temporary channel, right?"
"I know. I’ll transfer the Gold Coins to you right now."
As he spoke, Song Chengjun opened his virtual screen and transferred 5 Gold Coins to Chu Jiangyue.
Receiving the notification of the Gold Coin transfer, Chu Jiangyue didn’t make things difficult for Song Chengjun.
"Where are the items? I can help you with the exchange right now."
Song Chengjun hadn’t brought anyone in, and since he was not a Space Ability User, he had to take Chu Jiangyue to the items for exchange.
"I drove here; it’s in the courtyard."
Considering business with Chu Jiangyue, of course, Song Chengjun had thought of this in advance.
Following Song Chengjun out of the villa, Chu Jiangyue saw a pickup truck parked in the courtyard.
The pickup was loaded with gold, silver, and jewels, as well as a box containing Zombie Crystal Cores.
"1,000 promotional flyers—don’t you think that’s a bit excessive?"
Chu Jiangyue felt that Song Chengjun might have gone a bit overboard with these items.
"It’s fine; if there are leftovers, we can use them in a future collaboration."
After all, the Gold Coins were sitting in accounts, safe and secure.
To keep his personal funds separate from public assets, Song Chengjun meticulously recorded everything in his account, ensuring he could prove he hadn’t misappropriated even a single copper coin of public property.
Since Song Chengjun had said that, Chu Jiangyue didn’t comment further.
With the Little Fox opening the temporary exchange channel, they exchanged all the items prepared on the pickup.
[Detected: 35 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores, 20 Level 2 Zombie Crystal Cores... Redeemable for 25 Gold Coins, 30 silver coins, and 56 copper coins. Do you wish to proceed? Confirm by pressing Yes, cancel by pressing No.]
"Look at the amount yourself; if there’s no issue, you can confirm the transaction."
Chu Jiangyue glanced at Song Chengjun.
He, without any suspicion, went ahead and confirmed.
The next moment, his virtual screen’s balance increased by 25 Gold Coins, 30 silver coins, and 56 copper coins.
"I feel like 1,000 flyers might not be enough; could I request more?"
Seeing the exchange of Gold Coins, Song Chengjun wondered if 1,000 flyers might be too few.
It was just 50 silver coins, a seemingly big fuss over a small matter.
"Sure, how many do you need?"
"5,000?"
Song Chengjun tentatively asked.
Chu Jiangyue glanced at him before slightly tilting her head towards the Little Fox:
『Little Fox, can we produce 5,000 flyers?』
Not knowing the current state of the Little Fox, Chu Jiangyue was unsure how many flyers it could produce at once.
If the transaction exceeded the Little Fox’s production capacity, she’d have to negotiate downwards.
「5,000 is too much; today, we can manage 2,000 flyers at most, no more."
The Little Fox had the urge to protest upon hearing 5,000 flyers.
5,000 would deplete all its stored energy for the day. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"5,000 is too many; 2,000 max for today, no more."
Chu Jiangyue didn’t budge on the number, directly reporting the Little Fox’s estimate to Song Chengjun.
Though he felt 2,000 was too few, seeing Chu Jiangyue’s demeanor, Song Chengjun understood that if he wasn’t satisfied, she could easily decline the deal.
"Alright, 2,000 it is. That’s 10 Gold Coins; I’ll transfer them now."
Song Chengjun, with surprising generosity, transferred the 10 Gold Coins to Chu Jiangyue without quibbling over the deposit.
Receiving the funds, Chu Jiangyue’s gaze softened when she looked at Song Chengjun.
"I’ll organize everyone tomorrow to head to the Jianglin Hotel."
Apart from the B City Safety Base, they also needed to notify people from other bases.
However, none of this was discussed with Chu Jiangyue, as these were their own responsibilities, not hers.
Seeing his intentions, Chu Jiangyue was visibly pleased.
"I admire Captain Song’s efficient style."
As she spoke, she watched Song Chengjun’s departing figure.
Shen Zhigui stood beside Chu Jiangyue, his gaze unfathomable.
"It’s getting late; time for dinner."
Jiang He emerged from somewhere, heading to the dining table in the villa’s living room, setting out food from his space.
Not wanting to freeload, Chu Jiangyue also purchased a few dishes and rice from a market only she could access, laying them on the table.
"I’m planning to return tomorrow. Is there anything else you guys want to do?"
Since meeting at the Jianglin Hotel, they hadn’t mentioned anything about their families, leaving Chu Jiangyue uncertain if it was due to indifference or fear of an inevitable tragic reunion.
Shen Zhigui shook his head, convinced that his family was safer wherever they were now, and if anything happened, there was nothing he could do about it.
"We’re fine, Boss Chu. Feel free to arrange as you wish."
For them, the priority was to stay safe and not worry their families.
Though unfamiliar with their family situations, Chu Jiangyue assumed they had their reasons, regardless of their decisions.
"What do you think would be the best way for me to invite someone to return to the Jianglin Hotel with me?"
Even without a room at the Jianglin Hotel, staying outside offered cooler temperatures than inside a base.
Moreover, the hotel’s perimeter shielded against zombies, thus providing better living conditions compared to the base.
And at the Jianglin Hotel, as long as you had copper coins, food scarcity and zombie problems were non-issues.
"Who does Boss Chu want to bring to the hotel?"
Su Zhucheng looked at Chu Jiangyue, unable to conceal his curiosity.
