Chapter 230 My Mother Opens a Resort Hotel in the Apocalypse 6
At this moment, Xu Wei suddenly realized that the group of people who had been chasing him and his two companions had disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, what kind of convoy is that? How come those guys were running so fast just now?"
Xu Wei asked curiously, but as he saw the other person getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Hey, An Ruiyang, do you think we've just escaped one danger only to fall into another? No way!"
Xu Wei subconsciously swallowed.
"Shut your crow mouth!"
An Ruiyang said with a grim expression.
He glanced at Si Yu to the side, and their eyes met for a few seconds. The two of them had already made up their minds, and they decided to wait and see for the time being.
"Hoo... Squeak..."
Several large off-road vehicles slowly came to a stop in front of Si Yu and his two companions.
The front door opened and a young man with a refined appearance, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stepped out.
"Hello, welcome to City B. We are the Night Hawk Team. We hope those people didn't hurt you."
The newcomer extended his right hand to Si Yu in a friendly manner. Si Yu and An Ruiyang exchanged a glance, and Si Yu quickly shook hands with the other person.
"Hello, we came to City B to seek refuge after hearing the broadcast."
Si Yu said softly.
However, Si Yu did not notice that the other person subconsciously glanced at the jade pendant around his neck.
"You're really lucky. We're heading back to base anyway. Come on, I'll give you a ride."
Perhaps sensing the concerns of Si Yu and the other two, the refined man chuckled and continued.
"Look at me, I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Ding Xiao, and I'm the captain of the Night Hawk Team."
Seeing that Ding Xiao spoke politely, Si Yu and the other two relaxed a lot.
"Come on, let's get in the car and talk. Where are you from?"
Ding Xiao tightened his grip on Si Yu's shoulder slightly. Si Yu frowned slightly, but looking at the sincere smile of the person in front of him, he felt that he was overthinking things.
Once in the car, Ding Xiao, being talkative and witty, quickly put Si Yu and the other two at ease.
But if Si Yan were here, she would exclaim in surprise, "Isn't Ding Xiao the male lead who made his son Si Yu a cannon fodder for no reason?"
However, at this moment, Si Yu and his two companions were completely unguarded and were calling Ding Xiao their brothers.
"Brother Ding, thank you for your hospitality. It's rare for us to have such a relaxing moment on this journey."
Xu Wei's face was flushed from drinking, and he looked rather sober.
An Ruiyang and Si Yu were a little better off; although their cheeks were slightly flushed, they were still conscious.
Although they felt a strong connection with Ding Xiao, Si Yu and An Ruiyang didn't dare to get drunk since it was their first meeting.
Ding Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Si Yu as if he had seen him unintentionally and asked softly.
"Brother Siyu, the jade pendant around your neck is quite unique."
"Really? It's alright, my mom went to the temple to pray for it."
Si Yu felt somewhat confused, wondering why Ding Xiao suddenly changed the subject to his jade pendant.
"Oh, Brother Siyu, you are truly blessed."
Ding Xiao smiled slightly and said something cryptic.
However, the three people, who were in the midst of drinking, did not realize the deeper meaning in Ding Xiao's words.
After arriving at the base and arranging rooms for the three of them, Ding Xiao returned to the Night Hawk's convoy rest area.
"Boss, what's with this whole thing today?"
Ding Xiao's subordinate, Chen Tian, asked in confusion.
“Xiao Tian, you know I have a very accurate sixth sense. Today I sensed it again on that guy named Si Yu.”
"Oh, is it that jade pendant? Why not just snatch it?"
Chen Tian made a gesture to Ding Xiao.
"No, my sixth sense tells me I can't just take it by force. I have to make the other party give it to me willingly."
Ding Xiao shook his head. If only it were that simple.
Si Yu, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the situation and even thought that the three of them had struck it lucky to have met such a powerful person.
However, Si Yan sensed something the moment Si Yu met the male lead.
"Xiaoqi, it's time for us to set off."
Si Yan looked in the direction of City B with an ambiguous gaze. Whether it was true talent or a real thief, we would soon find out.
"What? Lin Ruoyan and the others left? Why? Why were they the only ones taken?"
When Liu Qianqian woke up to find out that Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an had been taken away by the hotel owner, Si Yan, she could no longer maintain her gentle demeanor.
"How come Lin Ruoyan is so lucky?"
Anyone with eyes can see that Si Yan is no ordinary person. Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an, who have latched onto Si Yan, are bound to become rich!
"Crack...bang..."
Liu Qianqian swept everything off the table onto the floor. What to do now? No, she had to go to City B too. She'd never had bad luck growing up; maybe City B would offer another opportunity.
Thinking this, Liu Qianqian began packing her things, while Si Yan was unaware that, whether directly or indirectly, the male and female leads were going to meet earlier because of her.
However, Si Yan wasn't in the mood to care about the male and female leads. She looked at the desolate, barren land in front of her and gave a forced, insincere smile.
[Xiaoqi, come out here! Is this the location you were talking about?]
[Hey, host, don't mind the looks. This land may look barren, but it's very close to City B. Due to plot constraints, we can't choose a hotel location in City B. This is the best location I've found, the closest one to City B.]
Okay, I'll reluctantly forgive you. Get ready to deploy it in the hotel.
【receive! 】
As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, a ten-story resort hotel suddenly appeared on the barren land, its shape and height exactly the same as the hotels in City C.
"Phew, I can finally go out."
Wang An'an slowly exhaled. It turned out that Si Yan had brought them and the hotel together. Si Yan had told them that they were not allowed to leave their rooms while they were moving around the hotel.
Wang An'an was very curious, and when Lin Ruoyan wasn't paying attention, she couldn't help but secretly twist the doorknob. She tried to open it several times but couldn't.
I guess I really can't leave the room.
Wang An'an and Lin Ruoyan didn't know how long they waited, maybe ten minutes or maybe several hours. In any case, when Wang An'an realized that she could open the room, she almost jumped for joy.
"Finally, we can get out."
It was at this moment that Wang An'an realized that she could see the outside view through the window again.
"Ruoyan, look! You can see B City directly from outside!"
Wang An'an said with a look of surprise.
"I've never seen City B like this before, but as expected of City B, it even has lights."
Lin Ruoyan echoed this sentiment.
"Alright, Ruoyan, An'an, come out for a moment, I have something to say to you."
Si Yan smiled as she looked at the two people standing by the window, excitedly gazing at the scenery.
"coming."
"coming!"
Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an quickly stood in front of Si Yan.
"I've talked to you before about how being a hotel butler would require some sacrifice of time. Are you really okay with that?"
“No problem, Sister Siyan. It’s just 9 am to 9 pm, right? And you’re working one day on and three days off. Even when things were peaceful, it was hard to find a job like this.”
A job with one day on and three days off—anyone would be eager to take it if they knew about it.
"Alright, since you agree, we'll start signing the contract formally. Here's the contract; take a look."
Si Yan produced two contracts out of thin air; the paper was transparent and pearlescent, quite beautiful.
Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an were both taken aback when they received the contract. It felt cool and comfortable to the touch.
However, the two only paused for a moment before picking up the pen floating in the air and signing their names.
The moment their names were written, the contract transformed into a stream of light and entered their bodies. However, apart from being able to see, they did not experience any other discomfort.
Wang An'an exclaimed that she had struck gold! The job was easy, she didn't have to worry about customers causing trouble, and the benefits were so good—where else could she find such a great job?
However, the two encountered a problem as soon as they took office: the place was too remote, so how could they attract customers?
"Ruoyan, how do you suggest we let people know how good our hotel is?"
Wang An'an, dressed in a black butler's uniform, asked worriedly.
"This place is too remote. If we rely on others to find it, it will be too late by then."
Lin Ruoyan said softly.
"Oh no, what should we do? How should we promote it?"
Wang An'an asked with a troubled expression.
"Go to City B to do promotion."
"Ah, but with our fighting skills, how can we go out and promote ourselves instead of becoming easy prey for others?"
Wang An'an looked troubled; sales was simply not her forte.
"Don't you read the housekeeper's manual? Page 20, Article 50 says that as a housekeeper going out to promote the products, I will protect their safety."
"Wow, that's amazing! I didn't see that at all. I looked at it very carefully."
Wang An'an carefully reviewed the management manual he had read before, and finally found this sentence at the very end of Article 50 on page 20.
"I saw it! I saw it! Now I feel more at ease. I can also go back to my biological father and stepmother's house to see how those two people who claimed to have found true love are doing now."
If it weren't for them, my mother and I wouldn't have gone to City C. I just hope they won't let me down.
Meanwhile, Ding Xiao took Si Yu and his team to stroll around the base every day, ostensibly to familiarize them with the environment. However, An Ruiyang keenly sensed something amiss.
"Xu Wei, isn't it strange that Ding Xiao always takes Si Yu out alone? Don't you think it's a bit odd?"
Xu Wei paused in packing his things, then replied with a sudden realization.
"You know what, it's true. Could Ding Xiao be a womanizer? I don't mind people with that kind of sexual orientation, but Si Yu is straight. I need to be careful. I need to help Si Yu defend his straight rights."
"Why did you hit me?"
Xu Wei was speaking with great enthusiasm when An Ruiyang slapped him.
"What are you thinking? Can't you tell if this guy is straight or not just by looking at his eyes? I just feel that Ding Xiao is being too nice to Si Yu, like he has something on his mind, and something quite big."
An Ruiyang said with a thoughtful expression.
"Hey, An Ruiyang, isn't that just nonsense? I know you have grand ambitions, but Si Yu doesn't seem to have anything special about him. Is Si Yu someone's illegitimate son?"
Xu Wei suddenly whispered furtively.
"Forget it, it's pointless to tell you. I'll just have to be more careful myself."
An Ruiyang truly deserves to be called the next generation successor of the An family; his keen insight alone is remarkable. However, in his previous life, he got himself into trouble while helping Si Yu, and the once-proud prodigy of the An family fell dramatically.
However, in this life, Si Yan is the one in charge, and the fates of An Ruiyang and the others are completely changed.
Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an have already arrived at the survivor base in City B with the hotel points redemption system.
As soon as the two of them came in and set up their stall, they were surrounded by layers of people.
The things the two of them were really rare. They had everything from cream bread and pork floss bread to noodles that are hard to find these days, and they had many different flavors.
"Beautiful lady, how much are your items? What would you like to exchange them for?"
"Well, what do I need to exchange for it? I have an imperial jade bracelet here, can I exchange it for some food?"
"I also have this pink diamond, let's trade."
Once someone spoke up, everyone started talking at once.
"Everyone, please be quiet. We are going to sell some items, but not directly like this. Instead, you will provide the items, and we will generate points cards based on their value. You can then use these points cards to make purchases."
Lin Ruoyan's loudspeakers kept repeating the request.
"Ugh...this is so troublesome!"
"Exactly, what is this points card thing?"
"I wonder if it's just a scam?"
As everyone hesitated, a sudden voice rang out.
"Sister, do you think I can exchange this gold ring? You can apply for any points card you mentioned, as long as I can exchange it for some instant noodles, my mom is starving."
A dark-skinned, thin boy carefully handed a gold ring to Lin Ruoyan.
"Little brother, you're good to go. Give it to me, I'll help you operate it."
Wang An'an took the gold ring from the little boy's hand, and everyone looked on curiously, wondering what this points card was.
Wang An'an put the gold ring into a black box. The box flashed with a blue light, and suddenly a completely black card appeared.
"Little brother, congratulations! Your gold ring has been exchanged for 5,000 points. You can pick anything you want here, even a pack of instant noodles is worth 100 points."
"What? Sister, is this true?"
The little boy asked incredulously.
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.
"No way, it's that cheap?"
"Yeah, could this little boy be one of their plant?"
"I'm not a shill. I know this little boy. He's my neighbor's child. He's telling the truth. His mother really is dying."
At this moment, the man in white spoke up, saying that if he didn't actually know the little boy, he would probably also think that Lin Ruoyan and her group had hired a shill to cooperate with them.
"I want to apply for a points card!"
"I want to get a points card too!"
"And I!"
"Yes, yes, yes, and me too!"
Smart people have already lined up in advance.
An Ruiyang and his two companions happened to witness this scene.
"What's going on? This world is getting more and more fantastical!"
Little did Xu Wei know that even more fantastical things were yet to come.
