HBWnovel Chapter 86 Release Date
Chapter 86 Release Date
With the official establishment of the Peace Hotel's security department, Wang Xiao also delegated the management authority of the security department to Xue Wu.
As one of the first people to follow him after the outbreak of the apocalypse, Wang Xiao trusted Xue Wu's character.
People change because of their environment, and in the face of disaster, the unpredictable nature of humanity always reveals all sorts of colors.
Wang Xiao couldn't be sure what the future held, but at least for now, the Peace Hotel was still maintaining order.
After leaving the backyard, Wang Xiao and Wei Yan returned to the main hall together.
The first official sale of Night Abyss Dream is about to begin, and in order to ensure the order of the hotel, Wang Xiao has decided to personally oversee the event for a while.
Wei Yan, who was following along, took out his notebook and reported to Wang Xiao: "Boss, Xiong Sanzhuang has already led the search team to the Chenghua District power maintenance unit. According to our previous estimates, if all goes well, they will be able to bring the situation back to the hotel this afternoon."
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Well done. Also, we need to speed up the recruitment process for other departments."
Wei Yan replied, "Lu Ran has already confirmed the list, while Sister Zhao is still finalizing the list of service personnel."
Wang Xiao said, "Keep an eye on them. Unlike the security department, these two departments shouldn't rush to officially hire new employees. Let them try out for a while first."
Those who are capable can stay; those who aren't, will be sent away as soon as possible. The hotel doesn't keep idle people, understand?
Wei Yan quickly replied, "Sister Zhao also discussed this with me, and we were just about to discuss it with you."
Zhao Yajun's profession allowed her to better guess Wang Xiao's intentions than Wei Yan, so temporarily entrusting the hotel's personnel management to her was much better than entrusting it to Wei Yan.
However, judging from Wei Yan's recent performance, this kid has learned a lot from Zhao Yajun.
Whether it was the various arrangements I gave him or his management of the hotel's overall operations when I was away, he was far better than he had been when we first met.
Wang Xiao said, "Go ahead with your plan. During this period, their treatment will be the same as that of regular employees. However, I want to remind you to pay attention to the management of the hotel's supplies. I don't want anyone to be dishonest."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Understood."
Although the hotel has established various rules, not everyone has the ability to resist temptation.
There will always be people who, driven by momentary greed, take risky actions.
For the sake of the hotel's development, Wang Xiao had no choice but to take it seriously.
Wang Xiao changed the subject, asking, "How are the preparations for the release of Night Abyss Dream going?"
Wei Yan flipped two pages forward in his notebook and said, "The sales preparations for Night Abyss Dream are complete. As per your plan, the official launch will be at 10:00 AM today, with a limited quantity of 15 bottles. Currently, quite a few survivors have gathered at the hotel entrance, waiting to snap up the first batch."
"Okay, everything is going according to plan. Let's go, it's getting late, let's go check on the situation."
"Yes."
Inside the lobby.
Dozens of survivors crowded near the front desk, their eyes fixed on the clock on the wall.
With less than half an hour to go before 10 o'clock, they already showed signs of being impatient.
Zhao Yajun was maintaining basic order with several temporarily recruited waiters, holding a thick registration book and distributing number tags to those in line in an orderly manner.
Due to the large number of attendees on the first day and the limited quantity of Night Abyss Dream items, a lottery system was used to sell them.
At 10:00 AM, the distribution of number plates will stop, and the on-site lottery will begin.
Despite the arrangements made yesterday, the situation still appears somewhat chaotic today.
After all, the group-buying situation that happened yesterday actually occurred today.
Many people gathered together, but in reality, they were just watching one person make a purchase.
While Wang Xiao doesn't object to this, he will, for the sake of fairness, have someone check their points on a computer before they receive their number plates.
Due to the power outage, the hotel's power resources were limited, but there was still enough power to power one computer.
After all, all points transactions need to be registered through the hotel. Without a convenient tool like a computer for statistics, relying solely on paper records inevitably leads to errors.
All changes to the points system require the presence of at least two employees, one of whom must be a full-time hotel employee to supervise the process.
Currently, Zhao Yajun and Wei Yan are responsible for handling all the points.
Just then, someone with sharp eyes spotted Wang Xiao and shouted, "Boss Wang is here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look, and then consciously made way for Wang Xiao.
"Boss Wang!"
"Boss Wang, is it really possible to buy Night Abyss Dream today?"
"Boss Wang, I've accumulated enough points, please reserve a bottle for me!"
Wang Xiao smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Don't worry, everyone. Peace Hotel keeps its word. Sales will start promptly at 10 o'clock."
However, please understand that the hotel's production is currently limited, with a daily limit of fifteen bottles and a limit of one bottle per person.
If you don't manage to buy anything today, please remain calm and come back tomorrow morning. I don't want any disturbances inside the hotel; violators will be disqualified.
With Wang Xiao in charge, the previously chaotic situation stabilized considerably.
To maintain order, Wang Xiao glanced around.
Then they saw Qin Huai'an and Secretary Huang sitting in the hotel lounge waiting for the sale to begin.
Behind the two of them stood a group of people from the Qin Group.
Qin Huai'an was drinking coffee when he saw Wang Xiao looking at him, so he stood up and nodded in response.
Wang Xiao nodded in return.
There were also some ability users from the second row yesterday, including Wan Menghuai, who personally experienced the Night Abyss Dream yesterday, and the man who was attracted by the mutated biological weapon yesterday.
Yue Man didn't come. As the hotel's first lifetime VIP, Wang Xiao granted him special privileges.
He is allowed to buy one bottle per day.
After all, this guy is one of the hotel's top henchmen, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll likely be on a lifetime contract.
For such capable people, offering them some small rewards is never a bad idea.
Besides, the points he earns will eventually be taken back by the hotel anyway.
Thinking about it this way, it really does prove the saying: "The hotel makes money and spends it all, not a single penny is taken home."
That's probably referring to Yue Man.
"Beep beep beep."
As Zhao Yajun's pre-set mobile phone alarm rang, the distribution of number plates stopped.
The draw for the first prize has begun.
If you were to ask when people are most excited, the lottery draw would probably be one of them.
Soon, the first spot was announced.
It was drawn by a lone wolf survivor.
As the first spot was drawn, the lone wolf survivor was so excited he almost jumped up.
He quickly squeezed through the crowd and stepped forward, exchanging his points for the "Night Abyss Dream" that glowed with a pale purple light from Zhao Yajun.
He held it carefully in his hands, as if it were some rare treasure. Perhaps fearing that people would covet it after he left, he ate it on the spot.
To avoid spilling the liquid, the lone wolf survivor was extremely careful, even inserting the straw. Only after successfully inserting it did he take a small sip, his eyes lighting up as he nodded repeatedly.
"Worth it! Those 80 points were totally worth it!"
Those who were not selected showed disappointment upon hearing this, but then focused their attention on the second spot.
Time passed, second by second.
The lottery process was quick; in no time, fifteen winners were drawn.
I don't know if the Qin Group is having bad luck today, but out of more than ten people who came, not a single one was selected.
Qin Huai'an looked at Wang Xiao and said helplessly, "Boss Wang, you can't expect me to have made this trip for nothing, can you?"
Wang Xiao didn't say much, but said, "President Qin, don't rush. Don't you still have three spots? You have to give others a chance."
Seeing that Wang Xiao had said that, Qin Huai'an could only admit that he was unlucky today and replied, "Alright, I'll bring more people next time."
After dealing with Qin Huai'an, Wang Xiao noticed that someone was trying to acquire Night Abyss Dream at a high price.
He did not stop them, as there was a daily limit to the amount of Night Abyss Dream consumed; drinking too much would only have the opposite effect.
Besides, those who manage to buy it do so by luck.
As for whether trouble will arise in the future, Wang Xiao is not worried at all.
Ultimately, the Peace Hotel reserves the right of final interpretation.
