BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122: He Would Be Completely Wrong
Chapter 122
She probably wanted to place another order for supplies.
Gu Wanyin cheerfully called back, and Ling Quan answered quickly.
"Boss Gu."
"Miss Ling, I'm sorry, I was out on business today and just got back."
"No worries," Ling Quan said happily.
After all, as long as she got the supply list to Gu Wanyin, the goods would arrive at the survival base soon.
Waiting an extra day or two was no big deal.
After the two agreed on another big deal, Gu Wanyin casually asked, "Have you found that third-in-command who betrayed you before?"
"Not yet," Ling Quan said, getting a headache just thinking about it. "I have no idea where he ran off to. Come to think of it... he wouldn't have gone to your hotel, would he?"
"Surely not?" Gu Wanyin was taken aback. "Your survival base is so far from the Peace Hotel. How long would it take him to walk here on his own two feet?"
However, she had been flying to other cities lately to pick up guests and bring them back.
While it was impossible for the third-in-command to walk to City A in just over three months, what if he had walked to another city? Then if she happened to go to that city, he could have mixed in with the guests and returned with her...
For instance, City E that she visited today was geographically between the survival base and the Peace Hotel.
It would be difficult for him to walk from the base to City A, but three months might be enough time to reach City E.
Although it seemed too coincidental, sometimes things just worked out that way.
"He always had impure thoughts about your hotel," Ling Quan sighed. "I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen. I even worried about him, but who knew..."
At this point, Ling Quan gave a self-mocking smile. "He doesn't deserve my concern at all."
"Don't worry," Gu Wanyin said. "Even if he did come, he couldn't do anything in the hotel."
"Mm, I believe that," Ling Quan smiled.
She knew very well that even if the third-in-command went to such an amazing hotel, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
He would only be asking for trouble.
...
After staying at the hotel for a few days, Wu San's desire to possess it grew even stronger.
The hotel had far more resources than he had imagined!
And besides the basic food and drink, there were all kinds of other shops...
He also observed that almost all the guests were very polite to Gu Wanyin.
Of course, Gu Wanyin was kind-hearted and treated the guests like friends.
Logically, since she was in charge here, she could have acted high and mighty.
But Gu Wanyin never did. As long as people didn't provoke her or cause trouble, and followed the hotel rules, she would be polite to them.
Wu San thought he wouldn't be so foolish if he were in her position.
If he owned this hotel, he could live like an emperor!
He would make everyone bow and scrape before him, and even have a harem of three thousand beauties... just thinking about it made him feel elated!
However, after calmly considering for a few days, he realized that taking over this hotel would be extremely difficult.
Gu Wanyin must have some unknown secret.
He would have to find another way.
As he pondered this, Wu San found it amusing.
He used to be the type to use his fists instead of his brain, but now he was actually thinking things through seriously.
He had no choice but to learn from his previous failure with Ling Quan.
After eating a little something, Wu San wandered aimlessly around the hotel.
He walked to the lobby and saw a staff member sitting at the desk.
It was Xiao Meixuan, a new female employee Gu Wanyin had recently hired. She was honest and diligent in her work.
Wu San was staying in a single room in Building 22, and Xiao Meixuan was on duty at the front desk of Building 22.
Wu San thought this young girl looked easy to deceive. His eyes gleamed as he walked over to chat with her, trying to extract some information.
To his surprise, no matter what he asked, the girl had only three words in response: "I don't know."
How was the hotel built? I don't know.
What special abilities does Boss Gu have? I don't know.
How powerful is Boss Gu exactly? I don't know.
Have you eaten lunch? I don't know.
Wu San: "..."
Was this a case of not judging a book by its cover?
This girl looked easy to fool, but she was actually very vigilant!
No wonder she could work as a staff member here!
Just then, he heard a crisp voice call out, "Sis, I'm back!"
He turned to see a girl who looked very similar to Xiao Meixuan running over.
"Welcome back," Xiao Meixuan's previously expressionless face showed a hint of doting smile. "Did anything happen?"
"Nope! But I still didn't dare to kill any zombies. Sigh!" Xiao Meichen looked dejected. "I've been training at the camp all this time..."
"It's okay," Xiao Meixuan comforted her. "Take it slow."
The two sisters were ordinary people without special abilities. Xiao Meixuan had been lucky enough to catch Gu Wanyin's eye and become a staff member.
However, Xiao Meichen hadn't been successful in her application and could only exchange points for a room key, staying in a single room.
"Mm-hmm! Oh, who's this..." Xiao Meichen looked curiously at Wu San.
Xiao Meixuan said flatly, "A guest."
"Hello, I'm Wu San," Wu San tried hard to squeeze out a friendly smile.
He realized that Xiao Meixuan's sister might be a real naive sweetheart!
"Oh, hello."
"You just said you're afraid to kill zombies? Don't worry, I'll take you with me next time," Wu San said eagerly. "I have special abilities, I can protect you."
Before Xiao Meichen could respond, Xiao Meixuan coldly interjected, "No need. Meichen, go back to your room first."
Xiao Meichen glanced at Wu San once more before leaving.
Xiao Meixuan also looked at Wu San, her eyes full of warning.
Wu San, however, didn't care at all and kept smiling.
It didn't matter... since Xiao Meixuan was a staff member, she couldn't watch over Xiao Meichen all the time.
He would find an opportunity sooner or later...
Once Xiao Meichen became his, he could use this naive girl to get close to Xiao Meixuan and uncover the secrets of Gu Wanyin and this hotel.
Wu San turned and left happily, completely missing the mocking smile that appeared on Xiao Meixuan's lips.
This man thought he could take advantage of her sister?
He was making a big mistake.
...
During dinner, Gu Wanyin heard about Wu San's behavior from Xiao Meixuan.
As Gu Wanyin gnawed on a chicken leg, she pondered.
That man called Wu San... could he be the third-in-command Ling Quan mentioned?
Considering his actions, it was quite possible.
That worked out well.
She was planning to fly to the survival base in a few days anyway.
When the time came, she could tie up Wu San and deliver him to Ling Quan.
It would be a nice perk for her business partner!
