Chapter 60 Dinner Preparations
It was 7 p.m.
Both inside the Peace Hotel and on the streets outside were unusually brightly lit.
Outside the hotel.
Secretary Huang, under Qin Huai'an's command, was directing his men to pile up the zombie corpses.
Just as Secretary Huang was about to burn the corpses to prevent the spread of disease, Wei Yan, who had rushed over, stopped him.
Wei Yan, panting, said, "Secretary Huang, I'm sorry, these corpses are still useful to our boss. Could you please collect them and not dispose of them for the time being?"
Faced with Wei Yan's obstruction, Secretary Huang asked doubtfully, "Manager Wei, does your boss have a better way to handle this?"
Wei Yan slowly extended his hand and said softly, "Go on, it's your turn to work."
With permission granted, the Thorn Knight, hidden in Wei Yan's sleeve, emerged. After extending a vine and nodding at Wei Yan, it jumped off Wei Yan's arm and disappeared into the pile of corpses.
Upon seeing the Thorn Knight, Secretary Huang immediately looked nervous and said:
"This...isn't this the monster? Wasn't it dealt with by your boss? Why is it in your hands?"
The other survivors also instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.
Having witnessed the danger of this thing before, seeing it again made everyone's hearts tighten.
After all, this thing was extremely troublesome even for the hotel owner to deal with.
Seeing the tense crowd, Wei Yan quickly explained, "Everyone, don't be nervous. As long as you don't attack it first, it will never attack you first."
This monster has now been subdued by our boss. Although I'm reluctant to believe it, from now on it's a full-fledged employee of our hotel.
For everyone's safety, I hope you will not attack it.
Otherwise, you will be solely responsible for any consequences arising therefrom, and our hotel will not be held liable.
One survivor said in disbelief, "You...you mean Boss Wang...tamed...subdued this thing?"
"Really?"
"Holy crap, is Boss Wang that awesome? He can even subdue monsters."
……
Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Wei Yan could only keep repeating his explanations.
After much effort, everyone finally accepted the absurd fact that the monster had joined the hotel and become a hotel employee.
However, some of them reacted extremely emotionally.
The blond guy, who had been in charge of scouting the zombie horde, exclaimed excitedly, "What the hell kind of world is this! Even monsters can work at hotels! What if we guys work so hard and don't even get a trial period?"
The tall man replied, "Uh... I don't think so... We've all worked so hard, we should at least be given a trial period... Maybe... probably... maybe."
At this moment, the team leader, Lao Xiao, stepped forward and said, "Manager Wei, we should have a chance, right?"
Immediately, many people followed suit and asked the same question.
Faced with everyone's questions, Wei Yan could only bite the bullet and say, "Everyone, please don't get excited. Our boss has seen your performance, but regarding the hotel's onboarding, we still need to wait for a few days for a specialist to review it before we can make an official announcement."
Here, I, Wei Yan, can vouch for you with my personal integrity that this recruitment process will be absolutely fair and just, and will not bury your abilities and contributions.
Moreover, even if you are not able to join our Peace Hotel, you can choose to join our Peace Hotel's only current partner, the Qin Group.
"Secretary Huang, I'm leaving the rest to you."
"Really?"
"Secretary Huang, is your Qin Group still hiring?"
After successfully shifting the target of concentrated fire, Wei Yan immediately made a hasty escape.
Secretary Huang, caught in the sudden barrage of criticism, faced the excited crowd and watched Wei Yan sneak away. She wanted to yell at him but couldn't bring herself to do it, since this whole thing was really going to benefit the Qin Group.
Secretary Huang mentally pulled out a small notebook, silently noting down Wei Yan's name while whispering, "Wei Yan, right? Okay, I'll remember you!"
After calming himself down, Secretary Huang immediately put his excellent professional skills from before the apocalypse into practice and began his talent recruitment plan.
For a moment, no one paid any attention to the Thorn Knight who was hiding among the corpses and quietly eating.
The Thorn Knight, engrossed in eating, also emitted sounds of pleasure.
"The food...is delicious!"
The area outside the hotel was bustling with activity, and the situation inside was equally busy.
To celebrate the hotel's successful opening and this hard-won victory, a sumptuous dinner is naturally a must.
back kitchen.
Lu Ran, who was frantically tossing the wok, wished he could turn himself into a professional chef team.
Just then, Wei Yan slipped into the kitchen and asked, "Lu Ran, how are the dinner preparations going?"
Sweating profusely, Lu Ran, without looking up as he took the dishes out of the pot, replied, "We can't finish, we simply can't finish. And don't just sit there, hurry up and find me two more people!"
Before Wei Yan could even ask what kind of person he wanted, Lu Ran suddenly pointed at a woman chopping vegetables and said, "That's not how you chop vegetables, damn it!"
"Hey you, could you watch this area for me?"
"Chef Lu, come take a look over here."
"Wait, I'll be right there..."
Cooking, stewing, stir-frying, chopping vegetables... the once quiet kitchen has now become bustling with activity.
If Wang Xiao hadn't had Wei Yan issue a request in advance to have someone come and help in the kitchen, Lu Ran felt that he might have really died in that kitchen by himself.
Seeing Lu Ran so busy, Wei Yan didn't say anything more, but quietly slipped away.
Find someone?
What a joke! There are only a few people in the entire hotel who can cook. Where is he supposed to steal two more people for Lu Ran?
Isn't this just making things difficult for him?
Lu Ran, who had just finished cooking a dish, turned around and found Wei Yan was gone. He asked in confusion, "Hey, where's Wei Yan? Wasn't he just here? I needed him to find someone!"
"Hey buddy, have you seen our hotel manager?"
"They left long ago."
"..."
hotel lobby.
Since only a very small number of people have the right to stay at the hotel, most of them are crowded in the lobby and hotel lounge.
To treat the wounded, some rooms on the first floor of the hotel were used as temporary treatment areas.
Fortunately, there were still medical students among the survivors. Although there was only one doctor and one intern nurse, and the medical conditions were extremely rudimentary, Wang Xiao had no choice but to let these two take over.
For the sake of hotel safety, Wang Xiao arranged for people to temporarily isolate the survivors who had been bitten by zombies.
Nevertheless, Wang Xiao did not treat them unfairly, after all, they had genuinely contributed to the fight against the zombie horde.
If this effort doesn't yield corresponding returns, who will take on the hotel's commissions in the future? Who will be willing to work tirelessly for the hotel?
In terms of material needs, Wang Xiaoming may have met them, at least ensuring that they would not suffer too much when they passed away.
Xue Wu led Li Shu and the others to tally the casualties of this zombie horde and other post-battle information.
Xue Wu, who has military experience, is more adept at handling this situation than most people.
Apart from the wounded and those in quarantine, as well as those responsible for clearing the battlefield around the hotel and those carrying out other tasks, the vast majority of people did not choose to rest, but continued to accept various tasks from Zhao Yajun's task assignment desk.
The reason for this, besides the most attractive temptation of being able to exchange hotel points for becoming a "capable person," is that one can also get a job at the hotel.
Everyone wants to perform as perfectly as possible, because only in this way can they have a chance to join the hotel.
After all, Wang Xiao's power was truly awe-inspiring.
With such a powerful backer, they have a greater chance of survival in the apocalypse.
As for those who did not continue to accept hotel commissions, they each have their own arrangements.
Some chose to volunteer to help treat the wounded, some chose to comfort those who were grieving the loss of their loved ones, some chose to help set up the banquet venue, and some gathered in small groups to boast about how many zombies they had killed.
For a time, this hotel, which chose to open in the apocalypse, was filled with a human touch that shouldn't exist in such a world.
Wei Yan, who was in charge of coordinating the hotel's overall operations, looked at the lively scene before him and suddenly felt as if he had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world.
Wei Yan originally thought that Wang Xiao was just talking about opening a hotel.
But when all of this actually happens before your eyes, this dreamlike feeling is intoxicating.
Wei Yan muttered to himself, "If only this disaster hadn't happened..."
Unfortunately, before he could even savor this fleeting moment of bliss, his communicator rang.
Then Wang Xiao's voice came out.
"Wei Yan, come to the conference room on the sixth floor."
Ugh... It's him again. Is my older brother really planning to use him as a jack-of-all-trades? No way...
