After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 46

　　Chapter 46: Returning to the Hotel

Leader: “On the day the orphanage was built, in order to inspire these children who had lost their parents, the polluter was specially invited to perform a powerful demonstration of his supernatural powers. He played the role of a superhero and promised the children that he would protect the base.”

　　Having said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

　　Wen Bei considerately did not ask any further questions, and the atmosphere in the room began to become heavy.

　　What happened afterwards was a completely different turn. Ordinary people made up the majority of the base. They protested through the streets, demanding that polluters and ordinary people be separated. Some of them had relatives or friends who were polluters, and would suddenly start fighting with them on the street. Every day, the Lawful Army had to deal with dozens of such disputes.

　　The term ‘filthy person’, which is extremely insulting to polluters, also appeared at that time.

　　Some radical ordinary people felt that there is almost no difference between polluters and filth, and that it is only a matter of time before they turn into filth.

　　This led to a sudden intensification of the conflict between polluters and ordinary people.

　　Human relations within the base deteriorated to the point where even the most basic construction could not proceed. Polluters were unwilling to work with ordinary people, and ordinary people did not dare to talk to them.

　　In the end, the Traveler’s proposal was passed.

　　The two of them drank tea in silence, and no one spoke again.

　　When Wen Bei was refilling his glass, the leader slowly asked, “Do you know who were the first group of travellers who died simply because of excessive pollution?”

　　Wen Bei looked up at him and shook his head slightly.

　　”My own brother.”

　　Wen Bei’s eyes widened a little, with a bit of surprise.

　　He hadn’t expected this answer.

　　The leader saw his reaction and put down his teacup: “I’m sorry, the topic has been so heavy.”

　　Wen Bei: “No, that’s what I came here to hear.”

　　He wanted to know what the base leader thought about the pollution levels. Now it seemed that he was carrying far more than he thought.

　　The man stood up and walked in front of him: “So your hotel is very important to us.”

　　As he said this, he suddenly became excited and his hands began to tremble.

　　”When people get old, they tend to be greedy… What I feel is that the existence of the hotel can truly put an end to this endless traveller plan.” The leader stared at Wen Bei, wanting to see his reaction.

　　The existence of the Hotel was so important that he was eager to identify whether Wen Bei was an enemy or a friend.

　　Wen Bei finally smiled for the first time since arriving here: “What a coincidence, I also have the same ambitions.”

　　=•°•=•°•=

　　Wen Bei chatted with the chief for a long time until night fell.

　　They discussed many conditions directly, and all the knowledge Wen Bei gained from visiting the Snow Flower Factory and the breeding centre came in handy.

　　Knowing the approximate development scale of the base, the requirements he put forward were within the acceptable range of both parties.

　　The base must provide the hotel with raw materials for making food. These raw materials could be transported from the breeding centre, and the Hotel would receive kickbacks from them.

　　In order to transport the restaurant’s prepared food back to the base as portable food, it would be necessary to build a canning factory of the same size as the SnowFlake Factory near the Hotel, with the cost and manpower to be borne by the base itself.

　　It is still a bit difficult to build a factory outside the base.

　　Wen Bei showed his determination as a businessman to maximise his own interests.

　　The base not only had to provide him with the cost, but also had to buy it back at the same price as normal trading after the production was completed.

　　Fortunately, the rooms in the Hotel are expensive, but the food is cheap.

　　The base leader thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

　　Both sides felt they had made a great profit.

=•°•=•°•=

　　It was not until the next day that they prepared the personnel and equipment to accompany Wen Bei back to the hotel.

　　At first, there were two people when they arrived at the base, but when they left, there was an extra rabbit and a whole convoy of thirty people.

　　Captain Lan’s ability is related to reasoning, so he could not follow them out of the base. The one in charge of escorting them is Xuan Yi, who stands in the middle of the team and gives orders with his dazzling flame-coloured hair.

　　Others stayed away from him, not only because of his hot temper, but also because they were afraid of being accidentally injured by his anger, which he sometimes couldn’t control.

　　Just before setting off, Huang Qian, who had received the news early, came over. She wanted to go to the Hotel with Wen Bei.

　　Wen Bei thought of the request he had promised her before, and agreed without saying a word.

　　But Huang Qian didn’t come alone, she was followed by a few people.

　　Wen Bei took a look and found someone familiar: “Your name is… Bai You?”

　　Bai You glanced at him. His red and swollen eyes showed that he hadn’t slept all night. “Yes, please let us go with you.”

　　Bai You changed his previous attitude and humbled himself.

　　Wen Bei looked at Huang Qian as if asking what had happened.

　　Huang Qian whispered beside him, “The small group of people that their guild sent out came back just yesterday. Now that White Eagle has confirmed that Ji Mingyuan is still alive, they all want to go see him.”

　　After all, he had kidnapped someone else’s president as a free employee, so he couldn’t stop them from reminiscing about the past.

　　And if they want to rip off customers, they will rip off these ‘acquaintances’.

　　Wen Bei smiled very kindly: “Of course.”

　　Bai You was stunned for a moment, and surprise burst out in his eyes: “Thank you!”

　　Another mercenary put his arm around Bai You’s shoulders and said in a loud voice: “See, I told you that the owner must be a good person!”

　　Upon hearing the remark, the Rabbit Butler glanced at the group of passionate mercenaries: “……”

　　In a sense, it really is worthy of Ji Mingyuan to raise this group.

　　Wen Bei was sitting in the back seat holding the Rabbit Butler. To express his gratitude to him, the base specially modified the car for him free of charge. Not only was the body of the car reinforced with metal, but the windows and interior were also modified. The wheels were designed with the most effort, so that even if they encountered a mountain of corpses on the road, they could just run over them.

　　The area near the base was relatively safe, so they returned to the Hotel in just a day and a half without much effort, shortening the average journey time.

　　As soon as he entered the Hotel’s garden, Wen Bei almost couldn’t recognize his lovely little white flowers.

　　They had all grown to half the height of a man’s waist. When they saw him come in, they all fluttered in the air. The white petals spun and danced in the air like in a dreamy movie, and occasionally a few petals would fall closely on his shoulders.

　　A ball of fire appeared in Xuan Yi’s hand, and he was frightened by the number of flowers in front of him.

　　After the end of the world, people no longer felt pleasant upon seeing plants, instead they would only be alert. Even a small wild flower on the roadside may take a person’s life.

　　But as soon as the fire burst out from his palm, it was extinguished again.

　　The Rabbit Butler appeared from behind him, and the furry rabbit’s face became serious: “Please don’t show any violent tendencies in the Hotel.”

　　Although the Hotel’s public properties will be refreshed and restored within 24 hours, malicious damage will still be blacklisted by the Hotel.

　　No one wants to be blacklisted by the hotel.

　　Seeing that the little white flowers were really just dancing and had no intention of attacking, Xuan Yi put down his hand apologetically: “Sorry.”

　　The Rabbit Butler disdains to accept the human’s apology. He snorted coldly and hopped away.

　　Hearing the noise, Ji Mingyuan ran out of the restaurant directly. He originally wanted to scold Rabbit Butler for suddenly disappearing and leaving him alone when the Hotel was busy, but he didn’t expect to see Wen Bei as soon as he came out.

　　Instantly, the words in his mouth changed direction, becoming full of surprise and relief: “You’re back?”

　　Wen Bei nodded, a little embarrassed: “The Hotel has been very busy recently.”

　　He had also summoned the Rabbit Butler away. Ji Mingyuan might have been too busy to handle everything alone.

　　Ji Mingyuan: “No.”

　　Compared to the previous days of being exposed to the wind, sun and blood, the busy and fulfilling life at the Hotel is simply like being in heaven.

　　Wen Bei smiled gently: “That’s great, it’ll be even busier in the future.”

　　Ji Mingyuan: “……”

　　For a moment, why did it seem as a devil’s shadow flash across Wen Bei’s body?

　　Looking more closely, he is still the kind boss.

　　How could such a kind boss exploit his employees? He must have been thinking too much.

　　Ji Mingyuan was very calm: “Yes.”

　　However, his calmness did not last more than half a minute and was soon interrupted by a burst of ghostly howling.

　　The four people from the White Eagle Guild surrounded him. When the grown men saw him for the first time, their eyes were red.

　　”President! It’s really you!”

　　Ji Mingyuan had a helpless look on his face. He had experienced a wave of attacks a few days ago. He had finally driven them away, oh no, coaxed them away. He didn’t expect that after they returned, four more people would arrive.

　　He frowned and said, “Don’t you have to go on missions? Why are you all putting down your work and coming to see me?”

　　When others saw his familiar seriousness, they used to feel only respect and fear, but now they were just filled with emotion.

　　A mercenary with a crew cut wiped his nose and said, “President, please scold me more.”

　　Ji Mingyuan looked helpless: “I am no longer your president. I have a very important job in the Hotel now.”

　　”What job?”

　　Ji Mingyuan’s face showed a hint of pride: “Security.”

　　The mercenary paused for a moment, and soon showed a pained expression: “Security? They let the president of our first guild be a security guard?”

　　Ji Mingyuan didn’t think there was anything wrong: “I also do other things because the store is short of staff.”

　　Fortunately, the customers in the store are very “sensible” and basically recognize his face. So they will not do anything rash.

　　This is also the main reason why he can still handle the work alone.

　　Anyone who dares to treat Ji Mingyuan with the same attitude as an ordinary waiter would be waiting to be picked up by a falcon and thrown out to feed the filth.

　　Bai You: “Leader, please come back. Our guild cannot do without you. The current president has also said that as long as you come back, he will immediately step down and become the vice president to give you back your position.”

　　Ji Mingyuan glanced at him with a smile and shook his head.

　　Bai You wanted to say something else but was interrupted by him.

　　Ji Mingyuan: “You guys came at the perfect time. Let’s see what you want to buy. You should have already found out what the store has when you came.”
