Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 166

"Since you built this road with your own money, whether or not to charge for it is up to you.

If you’re ready with the gold coins, we can sign the contract anytime."

Ban Huafang came up with this idea, which surprised Chu Jiangyue.

But as long as the safety passage can be built, the process doesn’t really matter.

"Once you’re ready, pay the first 50%, a total of 462,000 gold coins. I can transfer it to you now."

As he spoke, Ban Huafang was about to initiate a transfer.

"Hold on, let’s sign the contract first, then you can transfer me the money."

This timing is crucial—transferring such a large sum before the contract is signed would be a huge risk if anyone audits the accounts.

Of course, Ban Huafang followed whatever Chu Jiangyue said, especially since she was in Jianglin Hotel, and he trusted she wouldn’t risk her reputation over small gains.

The contract signing process was simple. Chu Jiangyue waved her hand, and a virtual screen displaying the purchase agreement appeared in front of both her and Ban Huafang.

"Check the contract details. If everything’s fine, scroll to the last page and sign your name."

Ban Huafang carefully reviewed the contract terms, and once he confirmed there were no issues, he signed his name.

Not wasting any time, Chu Jiangyue also signed her name on the last page of the virtual screen for the contract while Ban Huafang was signing.

Once both parties signed, the virtual contract screen disappeared, one copy going into Ban Huafang’s Identity Card and another into Chu Jiangyue’s mind.

"Alright, you can transfer me the 462,000 gold coins now."

Without hesitation, Ban Huafang transferred the four hundred sixty-two thousand gold coins directly into Chu Jiangyue’s account.

Upon seeing the transfer, Chu Jiangyue immediately accepted it, fearing that if she delayed, she might forget, and after 24 hours the money could automatically return.

Chu Jiangyue certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity to keep the money from leaving her pocket.

"I’ll send you half of the safety passage materials first. Do you have a place to store them?"

If not strategically placed, half of the material package would likely take up a lot of space.

Jianglin Hotel mostly consists of public areas, and it’s impossible to allocate a place for storing items long-term.

"Let’s place the items outside for now, and I’ll get a Space Ability User to help collect them."

Ban Huafang anticipated this too, but it wasn’t a problem since there were Space System Ability Users coming from T City, including some who contributed a lot of gold coins for the construction of the safety passage.

Chu Jiangyue had no objections; after all, she had provided the materials, completing the first phase of the transaction. The second phase would have to wait another month.

The two of them went outside, where Chu Jiangyue selected an open space next to her room. She opened her virtual screen, found the safety passage material package, and purchased 462,000 meters of safety passage materials, stacking them neatly in the open space.

"Alright, these are all the safety passage material packages your gold coins could buy. Find someone to put them together soon, so they don’t get stolen."

In case some go missing, she’d have to deal with the hassle.

Although she could provide 360-degree, high-definition, audio surveillance, reducing trouble whenever possible is always better.

"Got it, I’ll contact someone right away."

Ban Huafang opened his virtual screen and started calling people.

Chu Jiangyue didn’t concern herself with the subsequent affairs; her transaction with Ban Huafang for this phase was complete, and the rest wasn’t her responsibility.

After Ban Huafang sent a message, someone quickly arrived.

The newcomer looked a bit surprised when they saw Chu Jiangyue.

"You’re Boss Chu, right? Before arriving at Jianglin Hotel, I’d already heard about you.

Indeed, seeing is believing; you’re even more stunning than the rumors said."

As soon as they arrived, they began to flatter her, which Chu Jiangyue found somewhat awkward.

"Base Commander Ban is the one who contacted you. I have other matters to attend to."

Originally, she wanted to see what kind of person the Space System Ability User from T City was, but upon seeing them, her idealized image of a Space Ability User shattered.

Indeed, you shouldn’t idealize any profession, or else you’ll end up disappointed.

With that, Chu Jiangyue turned and headed toward the office hall.

Renting out the shops on Commercial Street continued to be an issue, and she couldn’t just ignore it.

Once in the office hall, she found a spot in the rest area and started reviewing the real-world map books of the places she had visited.

"Host, I think we could imitate T City’s Base Commander; we could build our own safety passage and charge tolls. It would generate revenue!"

Moreover, it would be a consistently stable income.

The Little Fox jumped off Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder onto the coffee table, looking up at her.

Chu Jiangyue pondered, considering the feasibility of the Little Fox’s suggestion.

If she bought the safety passage materials herself, it would cost 80 silver coins per meter, saving 20 silver coins per meter if she funded and constructed the passage herself.

However, the initial investment was enormous, and even Chu Jiangyue had to consider it carefully.

Supporting her chin, Chu Jiangyue continuously calculated in her mind, trying to determine whether building a safety passage to collect tolls would be a profitable endeavor.

Engrossed in her thoughts, she failed to notice that many guests assumed something new was happening at Jianglin Hotel because she remained in the office hall.

But after a while, when they realized she was merely daydreaming in the rest area, rumors began to spread.

As the rumors spread, people started to believe that Chu Jiangyue was possibly in a bad mental state, claiming Jianglin Hotel couldn’t continue operating.

When Shen Zhigui and his group returned and heard the ultimate version of the rumors, they thought something had happened to Chu Jiangyue, and that Jianglin Hotel might be closing down.

They inquired and arrived at the office hall, only to find Chu Jiangyue pondering with her chin on her hand.

"So... who started the rumor that she’s not doing well?"

Doesn’t she look perfectly fine?

Su Zhucheng felt that people were too reckless while spreading rumors, adding fuel to the fire unnecessarily.

Shen Zhigui watched Chu Jiangyue for a long time, only relaxing once he confirmed she was alright.

"Host, Shen Zhigui’s party has returned, but their expressions towards you seem a bit strange!"

The Little Fox’s focus was entirely on Chu Jiangyue, unaware of the rampant hotel rumors. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Chu Jiangyue was brought back to reality by the Little Fox’s voice.

’What’s up?’

Unbeknownst to her, something was happening.

"Host! Something bad has happened!"

The Little Fox inadvertently noticed the rumors while glancing elsewhere in the hotel.
