HBWnovel Chapter 33, First Lifetime VIP Guest
Chapter 33, First Lifetime VIP Guest
Before the apocalypse, everyone would want to receive maximum publicity when they open their business.
Unfortunately, this is after the apocalypse...
Wang Xiao couldn't immediately estimate the impact of such a message appearing on the survivor's phone.
More than attracting survivors, Wang Xiao was concerned about the thugs mentioned later.
If nothing unexpected happens, these thugs are most likely zombies, and as for the big shots among them... Wang Xiao can't think of any other explanation besides mutated zombies.
Judging from these clues, the number of mutated zombies attacking this opening should be quite large.
If it were the same Big Hammer he encountered last time, Wang Xiao was confident he could win in a one-on-one fight.
But if the quantity is large, it is impossible for him to do it alone.
Besides the potential risks posed by mutated zombies, there are also a large number of ordinary zombies...
He needs more manpower, especially those with special abilities like Yue Man.
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao began assigning tasks to everyone: "In the next few days, everyone stay alert. When I'm not around, Wei Yan, you will continue to act as the hotel manager, and Zhao Yajun, you will help Wei Yan handle hotel affairs."
If any survivors come looking for me, Wei Yan, I need you and Zhao Yajun to determine their intentions. If they want to check in or join the hotel, then keep them calm for now and wait for me to return to handle the situation.
If the other party has ill intentions, you all know what to do after what happened with Yang Hua.
Seeing Wang Xiao's unprecedented seriousness, Wei Yan and Zhao Yajun quickly nodded and said, "Yes."
"Xue Wu, Li Shu, the hotel's security is in your hands. Make sure you write down all the risks you can think of in these three days, and then find ways to solve them one by one. Solve as many problems as you can. Make a list of what you need, and I'll take care of it as needed."
The two of them instantly felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, but they had no right to refuse.
Xue Wu and Li Shu replied simultaneously, "Understood, boss."
"Lu Ran, take stock of the hotel's inventory and supplies, especially food, and make a plan. Also, if they need help, you, as the mobile unit, should handle it yourself."
Lu Ran patted his chest and said, "No problem, boss, you can leave it to me."
After giving a brief explanation to everyone, Wang Xiao stood up and scanned them one by one.
"I hope that each of you will do your best to complete the tasks at hand. Please remember that the hotel does not only belong to me, but also to you as a sanctuary for your future survival!"
Each and every one of you is crucial to surviving in this terrible world!
The meeting is now adjourned. (Dismissed)
"Yes."
After the meeting adjourned, everyone immediately threw themselves into their work, except for Wei Yan, who remained in the conference room waiting for Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao looked at Wei Yan and said, "Speak, what else do you want?"
Wei Yan asked uncertainly, "Boss, you're not going to go out again, are you?"
Looking at Wei Yan's current behavior, Wang Xiao could more or less guess what Wei Yan was worried about, but right now he was short of people!
Wang Xiao didn't mince words with Wei Yan and said directly, "I know what you're worried about. You were one of the first people to follow me, and you're quite smart. I have high hopes for you."
No? Then try more. Everyone has a first time. It was my first time opening a hotel, and I did it under these terrible conditions, but so what? You're working at my hotel now, aren't you?
So don't be afraid, go for it boldly, and I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong.
Besides, with Zhao Yajun helping you, what are you still worried about?
Wei Yan never expected that Wang Xiao would give him such great power and trust.
However, this power and trust also come with enormous pressure.
This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him, a college student who had not yet graduated, because he had to experience in the shortest amount of time what it would take years to learn before the apocalypse.
Although it was extremely difficult, it was also an opportunity for him.
Having thought this through, Wei Yan replied earnestly, "I won't let you down, brother."
Wang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and then walked downstairs.
He wanted to take advantage of the remaining time to trigger and complete as many system tasks as possible.
The system's rewards were generous, but the 365-day punishment was even more unacceptable to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao scanned the ongoing mission and locked his attention on Yue Man.
According to the original plan, he was to take Xue Wu to find three generators, and then return to the Yinghua Hotel to persuade Yue Man to stay at his hotel.
But now, there isn't that much time for him to waste.
After arriving downstairs and easily dealing with the zombies that had wandered over, Wang Xiao hopped on his electric scooter and sped off towards the Yinghua Hotel.
……
Yinghua Hotel.
Top floor.
Central control room.
Yue Man, who was lying on the carpet playing a single-player game on his laptop, was startled when the message that suddenly popped up on the screen.
The "Peace Hotel" on Line 4, Chenghua District, Jinshi City will hold a grand opening ceremony at 10:00 AM in three days. We cordially invite you to attend.
Yue Man asked in confusion, "Peace Hotel, and this address... isn't this the place on the business card that guy gave him?"
To make sure he wasn't mistaken, Yue Man immediately got up and picked up a business card next to a lunchbox to compare.
The address is correct: Line 4, Chenghua District, Jinshi.
Peace Hotel, the name is correct.
"He actually opened a hotel in the apocalypse... Now that there's no signal, did he send this message using his abilities?"
"If that's the case, should I go?"
"But won't his hotel be packed with people...?"
Yue Man initially thought Wang Xiao was just saying it casually, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But when he saw the message, the scene that Wang Xiao had described earlier began to uncontrollably appear in his mind.
Although he was very interested, he also had his own concerns due to his extreme social anxiety.
For a moment, Yue Man was caught in a dilemma.
To get to Wang Xiao's hotel, he would have to leave the hotel, which would not only mean facing the danger of zombies, but also the possibility of encountering other people...
Encountering zombies is manageable, but if he encounters people, he doesn't know how to deal with them.
About 20 minutes later, just as Yue Man was hesitating, there was a sudden knock on his door.
Boom, boom, boom.
As three rhythmic knocks sounded on the door, Yue Man almost instinctively hid behind the wall.
"Mr. Yue, as agreed, I've arrived. Have you considered my previous proposal?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Yue Man looked at the surveillance camera next to him.
Wang Xiao was waving at him from the monitor.
Yue Man muttered to himself, "Why would he come looking for me at this time? Shouldn't he be preparing to open for business?"
Having already had their first encounter, and having a fairly good impression of Wang Xiao, Yue Man opened the door for Wang Xiao after a brief mental preparation.
"Boss Wang, please come in."
After receiving the invitation, Wang Xiao slowly pushed open the door.
This time, Wang Xiao could clearly sense that Yue Man was not as afraid of him or as distant from him as before.
After a brief nod of greeting to Yue Man, Wang Xiao got straight to the point: "Mr. Yue, have you received an invitation to our hotel's opening?"
Yue Man still found it hard to believe, and pulled out his notebook, saying, "Did you really post this?"
Wang Xiao acknowledged, "Yes, not only that, we have also prepared a wealth of opening activities. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to participate in our hotel's opening ceremony?"
Yue Man didn't give an immediate answer. Instead, she asked Wang Xiao again to confirm, "What you said before, is it really possible?"
Wang Xiao said solemnly, "I assure you that as long as you can afford the price, our hotel will provide you with all the services you need."
Yue Man's eyes immediately became extremely complicated, clearly he was considering the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao decided to raise the stakes, saying, "In addition to what I promised before, you will become our hotel's first lifetime VIP guest. You will enjoy certain discounts on all your hotel expenses. I wonder if my sincerity can sway you, Mr. Yue?"
The first one... a lifetime VIP?
Without a doubt, Yue Man was tempted.
He sensed Wang Xiao's sincerity from his words and the scent he exuded.
No one can refuse the title of number one, especially someone who never competes with others.
Yue Man has his own persistence.
A minute later, as if having made up his mind, Yue Man looked at Wang Xiao and said, "Speak, what do you need me to do..."
Upon receiving a satisfactory answer, Wang Xiao immediately smiled and said, "No rush. Before that, please allow me, on behalf of the Peace Hotel, to welcome you to your stay."
