Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 20: Boss Chu Is Someone You Must Never Offend

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Boss Chu Is Someone You Must Never Offend

Chu Jiangyue hadn’t expected that Shen Zhigui and his team were so eager to help survivors and brought them back to Jianglin Hotel just because of something she said.

"Theoretically, yes, but I can’t guarantee it."

After all, the rewards after completing tasks are always random.

Moreover, before completing a task, she didn’t know what the reward would be.

"No problem, we were just lending a hand anyway."

Before rescuing others, Shen Zhigui always makes an estimation in advance. If something might jeopardize their lives, he definitely wouldn’t proceed.

"Is this the hotel Brother Shen mentioned that provides accommodation?"

Just as Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui exchanged a couple of words, someone interrupted, leaving what Chu Jiangyue was going to say stuck in her throat.

Shen Zhigui glanced coldly at the person who interrupted, a bit displeased, but seeing Chu Jiangyue showed no reaction, he nodded slightly as a response.

"Great, thanks, Brother Shen! If it weren’t for you, we would surely have been trapped dead in the underground parking lot."

In the underground parking lot, apart from cars, there’s virtually nothing else.

However, because of this reason, they were fortunately never attacked by zombies.

They managed to survive so long by knocking on car windows and occasionally finding some biscuits and snacks inside the cars.

"If you want to stay in the hotel, register with Boss Chu. Why are you all looking at Boss Shen!"

Xie Silin noticed the odd atmosphere and quickly spoke to ease it.

The girl who had just spoken looked displeased.

But considering Xie Silin was with Shen Zhigui, she merely pursed her lips and said no more.

The smart ones ran to the counter to ask Chu Jiangyue upon Xie Silin’s reminder.

"Is what they said true? Does this place really provide accommodation, and do we need to register or something?"

"We do have rooms, but let me make it clear that this is a hotel, and accommodation requires payment."

Chu Jiangyue thought some people might have mistaken Jianglin Hotel for a rescue station.

"Didn’t you say there’s accommodation and food provided? Why do we still need to pay?"

As expected, as soon as Chu Jiangyue mentioned payment, someone objected.

Su Zhucheng, Lin Xuyuan, and Xie Silin widened their eyes, looking at the person who said this, surprised at such a misunderstanding.

"Boss Chu, I swear, we never said lodging and meals were free."

Su Zhucheng immediately distanced themselves from the statement.

Boss Chu was in charge of all their food and lodging, and offending her was out of the question.

Of course, Chu Jiangyue knew it wasn’t their fault; some people just made too many assumptions.

"I’m open for business; if you don’t want to spend money, walk straight out the door, turn right, and leave Prosperity Heights."

Chu Jiangyue was not one to swallow her pride.

"Sister, we are still students with little money, can’t you accommodate us a bit? We won’t stay for free; we can work in exchange for accommodation time. How about that?"

The one speaking seemed to have some influence among the students. Though some showed reluctance, no one openly opposed him.

Honestly, Chu Jiangyue admired him for coming up with this solution, but...

She picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it on the floor in front of the counter.

"Hey! Why are you wasting water? If you don’t want it, you could have given it to us!"

God knows how they’ve managed so far.

Watching Chu Jiangyue waste water, many showed disapproval.

"Look again."

Chu Jiangyue directed them to look at the water stains on the floor.

Everyone glanced down, and soon, the water stains disappeared.

Everyone turned to Chu Jiangyue in unison: "What is this..."

"Do you still think I need your labor?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Chu Jiangyue asked the boy who had proposed to trade labor for accommodation time.

The hotel has an automatic cleaning system; even if they spilled a bowl of soup on the floor, it would be instantly cleaned.

The boy said nothing more; with the hotel not needing labor, he had no other options.

"Anything you have of value can be exchanged for the hotel’s unique currency.

It’s up to you."

After all, they’re just students; Chu Jiangyue showed some tolerance and didn’t mind their previous rudeness.

"I think you’re just trying to trick us into handing over our valuables for you to resell and make a profit! I’ll stay on that nice-looking sofa tonight."

Su Zhucheng looked at the girl with the eyes of a fool. Had she not listened to anything they’ve explained along the way?

"Forget it, leave them be; we’ve done enough by bringing them here."

While introducing Jianglin Hotel on the way, they had stressed the hotel rules many times. If she remained clueless, it was her own doing.

"Non-hotel guests can only stay for 2 hours daily; those who overstay will be automatically expelled."

Though Chu Jiangyue disliked such unreasonable guests, she still gave a word of caution.

However, some people just don’t listen, and despite Chu Jiangyue’s warning, they act on their own whims.

Even so, Chu Jiangyue paid no more attention, for it wouldn’t be her getting expelled in the end.

Still, while some ignored the advice, others were sensible enough to exchange whatever valuables they could remove.

The boy who wanted to trade labor for accommodation took off a jade pendant from around his neck.

[Detected handmade jade carving, can be exchanged for 10 silver coins. Press Yes to confirm, No to cancel.]

"How much is 10 silver coins?"

It was his first encounter with this currency unit, unsure of its purchasing power.

"The hotel currency consists of gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins, with an exchange rate of 1:100:10000."

silver coins equal 1000 copper coins.

And the purchasing power of copper coins is roughly equivalent to Dragon Country’s regular currency.

"Can I stay in a guest room?"

"Yes, but only for 5 days at most. It’s advisable to save some for food."

Kindly, Chu Jiangyue offered advice.

The boy pondered for a moment, deciding to stay for 3 days first, saving the remaining 400 copper coins for food.

With food and accommodation sorted, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He had finally made it!

Chu Jiangyue turned to look at the others.

Seeing their leader exchanged such a precious pendant, several students followed suit, exchanging whatever they could from themselves.

To every inquiry, Chu Jiangyue provided answers; those unwilling to listen received not even a glance.

"Brother Shen, where are you going?"

Seeing that Chu Jiangyue had the situation managed, Shen Zhigui was reassured and intended to return to his room.

But before he could walk a few steps, someone called him.

"Stop! We’ve fulfilled our promise by escorting you to the hotel. It’s up to you what you do next.

And remember, you are still minors; don’t entertain any wild ideas, the boss isn’t interested in fragile saplings like you all."
