Chapter 72: As long as it's big enough and eye-catching enough!
Hao Gang was startled to see Wang Xiao looking so relaxed after dealing with the mutated cat.
He had personally witnessed how even the most ferocious zombies were completely helpless against this big cat, and in the end, it became their food.
Seeing a human defeat this monster with just a fire axe was quite a shock to him.
Hao Gang asked with fervent eyes, "Are you Superman?"
Wang Xiao twirled the fire axe in his hand: "Superman? If I were Superman, would I need this thing? I'm just a human with some strength at most."
Hao Gang said enviously, "That's amazing! I wish I could be like you!"
Wang Xiao replied, "Maybe one day your dream will come true?"
Hao Gang pressed further, "Is it really possible?"
Wang Xiao neither denied nor confirmed the claim, but instead changed the subject, saying, "Before you become Superman, why don't you help me solve my brand problem first? That way, at least you can fill your stomach, don't you think?"
When Wang Xiao suddenly lifted it up, Hao Gang's stomach also made a very cooperative noise.
"Coo coo coo~"
Hao Gang blushed and said, "I'll get started right away! You haven't told me what style you want, or what your hotel's name is yet."
As Wang Xiao pushed open the door to the room where the mutated cat had once stayed, he said, "My hotel is called the Peace Hotel. As for the style, it doesn't matter. Just make sure it's big and eye-catching enough. It doesn't need to be too fancy. Zombies, who have no taste, won't appreciate it anyway."
After listening to Wang Xiao's requirements, Hao Gang thought to himself: Big enough, eye-catching enough, this requirement is really simple enough. This is the simplest design requirement he has received from a client since he joined this lousy company.
However, the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
Peace Hotel...
Why does this name sound so familiar?
This... isn't this the name of the hotel he saw on his phone?
Could it really be the same one?
Hao Gang swallowed hard, then immediately took out his phone, pulled out the text message, and said in an incredulous tone, "You...you mean the Peace Hotel you mentioned?"
Wang Xiao, who was frowning at the corpses in the room, nodded after closing the door and said, "No doubt about it, it's the one in your phone, the one I was talking about. How long do you need?"
After confirming that it was all real, Hao Gang felt like he was dreaming.
He was at his wit's end in the break room when this news gave him hope to live.
When he received the news, his first reaction was that the military was taking action. He thought that reinforcements would arrive soon, but in the end, he was already starving to death in that tea room.
Now, the person who sent that message is standing right in front of him, having not only saved him in his moment of despair but also killed that terrifying big cat with remarkable ease.
All of this made Hao Gang wonder if he had fainted from hunger and was having a death dream.
Seeing the boy suddenly become dazed, Wang Xiao stepped forward and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking about? Is it difficult for me to make this request?"
Startled by Wang Xiao's actions, Hao Gang pinched his cheek to make sure he wasn't dreaming before quickly saying, "No, no, it'll be done soon. As long as the equipment is still working properly and we have enough materials, it can be finished before dawn tomorrow!"
Wang Xiao asked in a low voice, "Is it okay if it's tomorrow?"
Although it will take a day, it's nothing serious anyway, so a day's delay isn't a big deal. At worst, I can just have Xiong Sanzhuang go for me.
Sensing a hint of regret in Wang Xiao's tone, Hao Gang explained, "I'm the only one with the manpower. Designing, selecting materials, and making it all take time."
Seeing that Hao Gang had misunderstood him, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "No need to rush, take your time, I'm going out for a bit."
Upon noticing Wang Xiao was about to leave, Hao Gang asked anxiously, "Where are you going? Aren't you waiting for the samples to be ready?"
Wang Xiao waved his hand without turning his head: "Just do your job. I was just going to get you something to eat."
Upon hearing that Wang Xiao had gone to find food for him, Hao Gang suddenly felt as if something was blocking his throat, rendering him speechless...
Now, he only wants to use all his knowledge to design the most perfect work for Wang Xiao's Peace Hotel, in order to repay Wang Xiao's kindness to him!
After leaving GG Company, Wang Xiao found a convenience store that was still open. He used a fire axe to talk to the zombie girl who was having lunch at the counter about whether he needed to pay. Then, he returned to GG Company with two large bags of food and some water.
Upon arriving on the third floor, Wang Xiao saw Hao Gang diligently drawing and designing at the workbench and expressed his approval of Hao Gang's conscientious and responsible behavior.
Once you've received an order, you should put in twelve times the effort!
His hotel is currently lacking a responsible person like Hao Gang!
After placing the food on the table, Wang Xiao said, "I've put the food here for you. It'll be enough for you to eat for a few days. Someone will come to pick it up tomorrow."
If you'd like, you can come to our hotel with him. We happen to be hiring responsible and dedicated staff right now, so you can apply and give it a shot.
Upon hearing this, Hao Gang stopped drawing and asked excitedly, "Can I really do it?"
Wang Xiao lit a cigarette and said, "I always keep my word. If you can pass the hotel's assessment, then you will naturally become a member of our hotel."
Alright, I have things to do at the hotel, so I won't stay any longer.
"Keep up the good work, I look forward to your work tomorrow."
Hao Gang, who was initially skeptical of Wang Xiao's words, now, after learning that Wang Xiao was actually the owner of the Peace Hotel, only had a desire to join the Peace Hotel in his eyes within an hour or two!
After bowing deeply to Wang Xiao, who was preparing to leave, Hao Gang shouted, "I will do my best!"
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly, saying, "Ahem, well, don't put too much pressure on yourself. As long as the signboard works, that's fine. There are no other requirements."
"Yes, I promise I won't let you down, boss!"
"Alright..."
As he walked downstairs, Wang Xiao muttered to himself, "Tsk, youth is wonderful. If Wei Yan had half the passion of this young man, I wouldn't have to work so hard. Sigh!"
Peace Hotel.
Wei Yan, who was already dizzy from being so busy and was taking a break, suddenly felt dizzy and sneezed several times.
Wei Yan raised his head and muttered to himself, "Who is thinking of me like this? Could it be my older brother?"
No, for my brother's great cause, I can't rest yet; I have to keep working hard!
After saying that, he took a sip of Night Abyss Rose Tea and then buried himself in his work again.
Seeing this, Lu Ran looked at him strangely: Has this guy been stimulated? Why is he working as soon as he opens his eyes these past two days? If this were before the apocalypse, he would be a top-quality ox or horse in the eyes of the bosses!
But soon, Lu Ran thought of another possibility: Hmm, wait a minute, could this guy be trying to get ahead in front of the boss by engaging in workplace politics?
Brother, this is the apocalypse, can't you take a break?
No, no, absolutely not!
I must take action too!
Suddenly, an atmosphere that had been relatively relaxed at the Peace Hotel became eerie, though it was unclear where it came from.
Even the survivors who came to accept the missions were affected by this atmosphere and became tense.
Old Xiao and his group, who were receiving a mission from the task desk to clear out the zombies around the hotel, discussed among themselves, noticing the tense atmosphere at the hotel:
"Old Xiao, something's not right. Everything was fine this morning, how did it change so much this afternoon? Could something big be happening at the hotel?"
Old Xiao said, "Regardless of whether something big happens, it's always good to earn more points. Don't forget that points can be exchanged for things needed to become a power user!"
Yellow Hair agreed, "Old Xiao is right, let's do it first!"
Meanwhile, Wang Xiao, who was humming a little tune and driving the mutated cat back to the hotel for dissection, had no idea that a large-scale infighting feast was unfolding inside the hotel.
"Today is truly a wonderful day..."
