Chapter 175 Somewhat Lucky

"I'll have to consult Boss Xia about this, but we haven't heard of any price increase. You can rest assured that if there is a price increase, we will notify you in advance."

Zhikang didn't make a final statement, but he couldn't help but reply to the customer. This compromise made everyone satisfied.

Ye Qizhen didn't get an accurate answer, so he didn't ask any more questions. He silently opened the brochure and started reading.

Xiong Xiong and Xia Yan looked at each other, and Xiong Xiong asked in a low voice, "Boss, are you going to raise the price in the future?"

Xia Yan didn't say anything and thought deeply for a while.

In fact, the initial prices given by the system from the very beginning, whether it is rent or the price of food in the restaurant, are all very low.

It was not difficult for Xia Yan to guess the true intention of the system.

Considering that the system guided her to open branches, distribute holiday gates, villas and water houses on Lidai Island, etc., she set the prices so high, and the system did not object.

She understood very clearly that the main resort hotel designated by the system was the safe house for the survivors.

Since he understood the system's good intentions, Xia Yan naturally would not raise the price.

"Don't worry, the price won't increase. If customers ask about it next time, just reply like this." Xia Yan said lightly.

"I understand, boss." Xiongxiong doesn't think too much. In his eyes, everything is based on the boss's orders.

At this time, a few more customers came upstairs asking for manuals, and Xiong Xiong rushed over to help.

Not surprisingly, everyone asked this question.

Ye Qi raised his head from the manual and looked at Xiong Xiong with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Manager Zhichang may have a low rank and little authority, so I wonder what Manager Xiongxiong would say.

While handing out brochures, Xiong Xiong reassured everyone with an extremely confident tone: "There won't be a price increase, so just relax and stay here."

"That's great. It's not easy to find a safe place in this world."

"Yeah, I just want to live a peaceful life."

Ye Qi got the answer he wanted, closed the manual and prepared to take the elevator upstairs.

After a ding sound, the door opened to both sides and he was stunned for a moment.

The two boys inside the door didn't expect to see him. Their faces froze and they snorted coldly, then looked away and pretended not to see him.

When they were leaving, the two of them bumped into Ye Qizhen's shoulder hard.

Ye Qi lowered his eyelashes, hiding his sad mood, and slowly walked into the elevator.

He knew why the two of them treated him like this, but he didn't know how to solve it.

Should I care about them, or treat them as strangers? Should I force them to communicate?

Ye Qi's eyes were full of confusion. He used to think that being a lone wolf was nothing wrong, but now he felt very lonely. There was nothing in his heart to care about. He just obeyed his mother's last words in a daze and tried to survive.

"Ye Qizhen, come here for a moment."

He heard Boss Xia calling his name, and when he looked up, he saw her sitting on the sofa, smiling and waving at him.

In this hotel, I'm afraid only Boss Xia knows him and is willing to call him.

While the elevator door was still open, he hurriedly pressed the button to open the door, stepped out and walked to Boss Xia.

"You called me, is there something wrong?"

"Please sit down first." Xia Yan looked at him calmly.

His face had become thinner, and there was a hint of darkness under his eye sockets. His once clear and bright eyes were now filled with some sorrow and confusion about the future.

Xia Yan recalled a sentence he had heard an old gentleman say before, which was very appropriate here:

Parents are a wall between children and death. Only when their parents are gone will they face these things.

Perhaps, the kind-hearted Ye Qi was unwilling to vent his emotions in front of others, so he forced himself to forget his distorted sadness, and nestled quietly in a corner like a young animal, licking his wounds.

Ye Qi was sitting opposite her with the brochure on his knees.

Xia Yan ordered two cups of milk tea at the food city, placed one in front of him, and whispered to him in confusion, "I'll treat you to some, and I'll ask you something."

"You are too polite. Just ask whatever you want to ask. There is no need to prepare all this specially for me." Ye Qi was about to push the milk tea back, but he stopped when he met her gentle but firm gaze.

Her expression seemed to say that if she didn't drink, she would kick her out...

Ye Qi held up the milk tea with both hands and took a sip. It was icy, sweet and delicious. He lowered his long eyelashes and his mouth corners were stretched straight under his straight nose.

He recalled how he and his mother had walked through the zombie-infested city step by step, supporting each other despite being hungry, and then settled down.

The two of them were somewhat lucky to get through safely.

"How have you been lately?" Xia Yan asked hesitantly.

He called out to Ye Qizhen completely subconsciously, perhaps because he couldn't stand the two kids bullying him.

After all, I really liked Ye Qizhen at first.

"Not bad. I killed a lot of zombies and saved crystal cores on Lidai Island last time. If I spend them sparingly, I can at least make it to the beginning of next spring." Ye Qi, an honest boy, had nothing to hide and told him everything he was thinking.

"Well, that's good." Xia Yan was not very good at comforting others, and he didn't know what to say when he called him.

She was also unwilling to take the initiative to reveal his scars, and then hypocritically say "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll live a good life in the future."

The two of them drank milk tea quietly, and Ye Qizhen's originally confused heart gradually calmed down.

He began to calm down and felt that his brain, which had been cloudy recently, had become a little clearer.

What has he been doing recently? Are he reflecting and blaming himself because two little brats think he didn't cry and express his pain?

It was really Wu Zetian who had lost her mind. He was a little outrageous.

In the eyes of irrelevant people who are still alive after the apocalypse, constantly wasting your own energy, how S13 is this behavior?

Ye Qizhen almost held his forehead and sighed. Only after he woke up did he realize how unbearable the things he had done were.

He took a big sip of milk tea and promised himself that he would cover himself with the quilt and have a good sleep when he got home.

If his mother were still alive, she would definitely not want to see her son so decadent.

Ye Qi was looking at the two people at the front desk who were constantly stealthily glancing at him and Boss Xia.

The two young boys couldn't hide anything in their hearts. They were shocked at the moment, as if they had never expected that Boss Xia was so close to him.

Bai Zuo Bai You stuck out his tongue and made faces at him, trying to irritate him.

Seeing them like this, Ye Qizhen was speechless. How stupid he was to be controlled by two fools.

Xia Yan followed his gaze and saw Bai Zuo and Bai You hurriedly retracting their expressions, trying to put on smiles, but greeting her with stiff faces and a strange look.

"Boss Xia Xia Xia Xia, the hotel renovation is really grand. Boss Xia asked us to raise the rent—oh no, please don't raise the rent, what am I saying."
