Chapter 517 Temporary Worker

Seeing this, Qi Hua went forward to greet him, and Sang Zhengyi turned his attention to Xia Yan.

"Xiao Qi said you had something to talk to me about?"

Xia Yan nodded. "The bathroom needs more than ten temporary workers, preferably more men, working until midnight. The salary is two 2-crystals. Do you think there are any suitable candidates?"

Sang Zhengyi's eyes lit up, but he didn't agree easily. He asked, "I want to know what the job content is first?"

"I can help customers with bathing and laundry. It would be even better if I know some physical therapy and massage."

It doesn't sound like a difficult job. I've experienced it before, but the pay is ridiculously high, so Sang Zhengyi is a little hesitant to accept it.

"The salary doesn't match their efforts, and they can't withstand any more hardships. Sorry, forgive me for being blunt." He looked straight at Xia Yan without any hesitation.

He was able to lead those people to survive until now in the apocalypse, and he knew very well that he should refuse when he should, and he should never sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of face and favors.

What's more, she had announced before moving that those over there were extremely vicious people who dared to do anything. There was no way to guarantee that they wouldn't act rashly. The people under his control were all vulnerable groups, which made it even more dangerous...

They used to be willing to take risks just to survive, but now that they have a stable home and food source again, they are cautious with every step they take.

Xia Yan smiled, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Don't say it, it's really hard work. Those people haven't had a bath in who knows how long. They're covered in black armor, and there are so many of them. The bath attendant must be very tired. Two two-crystals is not a high reward."

"After this problem is solved, there is still the security aspect," Sang Zhengyi said frankly.

Xia Yan was dumbfounded and said in surprise: "Who dares to cause trouble in my territory?!"

Sang Zhengyi was suddenly awakened and slapped his forehead hard. "Sorry! I really forgot about this matter! Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come right away."

This is so embarrassing. I've been dealing with all the base leaders lately, and I've become so used to being on guard against being ripped off that I couldn't think straight for a moment and ended up making such a huge joke...

Sang Zhengyi disappeared on the spot and the news spread back to the base. A faint awkward atmosphere still lingered in the air. Xia Yan couldn't help but laugh softly. No matter what, Sang Zhengyi spoke out bravely to protect his people, and this behavior was worthy of admiration.

On the other side, under Qi Hua's professional introduction, several customers contributed their crystal cores and placed orders on the spot.

"Thank you for your support. The order will be prepared within seven days. Please be patient." Qi Hua saw the customer out.

Xia Yan found that he had become much more mature, his gestures were calm and steady, and he was able to stand on his own. This was exactly what Qi's parents expected. It seemed that he had learned a lot from following Sang Zhengyi.

Qi Hua turned around and met Xia Yan's eyes. He smiled generously and asked, "Boss Xia, how is your business?"

"Yes, what about you?"

Although she was anxious to return to the hotel, she knew that it would take time for Sang Zhengyi to gather everyone.

Qi Hua said, "The base has experienced several zombie waves, but it's not bad. Everyone is united and has been able to bear it. Moreover, Li Qiang and Wang Yi have improved their abilities. Now they can be considered as powerful people. Compared to before, life is much better."

When he said these two names, Xia Yan was still recalling them in his mind, and finally a face with a blurred nose, eyes and mouth emerged.

It's been so long and it doesn't appear in front of us often, so it's normal to forget.

"That's great, it will get better and better." After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed, as if she was just going through the motions.

Qi Hua looked at her for several seconds, noticing a faint sense of strangeness in the air. The fingers hanging by his side slightly lifted up, as if he wanted to make some reaction.

In the end, he just raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Yeah, I will."

After that, he continued to do his own thing, arranging the items, counting the bills, and helping to pack the vegetables, just like usual, just like his life, whether there would be changes or not, he had to move forward.

Sang Zhengyi arrived late, and the empty store was suddenly packed.

Xia Yan counted and found that there were exactly twenty people, 15 men and 5 women. All of them had strong arms and honest eyes, but they all had some physical disabilities.

Sang Zhengyi said, "Since you need people urgently, I have prepared twenty people. Would you like to choose some?"

Xia Yan: "No need, just follow me. The salary is still what I said before. If you work until midnight, you will get two level 2 crystal cores. Is that okay?"

Sang Zhengyi winked at them.

Everyone: "No, we'll all follow Boss Xia's instructions!"

"Okay, let's go."

Xia Yan pushed the door open and went out. The holiday door quietly turned at the bottom of the stairs.

"Go ahead. This is a rare opportunity. Work hard." Sang Zhengyi couldn't help but give them some advice.

It is extremely risky for these people to go out of the city to hunt, and they would only gamble their lives when they have no other choice. Since they arrived at his base, they can earn work points and exchange them for supplies by putting in some effort and taking care of the plants. Although they can survive, they have no crystal cores.

Take advantage of this opportunity and save as much as you can. Life will get better slowly.

After watching them all walk through the resort gate, Sang Zhengyi turned and walked back to the store. "Everyone, please work hard tonight and work overtime until ten o'clock. Each person will earn an extra 20 points. Finally, I will stay and wait for them to come back."

...

Xia Yan bought twenty sets of bathhouse work clothes in the mall and brought them to an empty room for them to change into.

"Tell me your points card numbers and I'll add you to the employee list so no one can harm you."

After doing all this, Xia Yan held another brief meeting with them in the lobby.

"Try not to chat with customers or reveal your background. Just say you're my employee. Your job is mainly to scrub people's backs. If you're asked anything else, you can rest. It's okay. I won't deduct your crystal cores."

Maybe it was because Xia Yan was too serious, or because they heard the extremely noisy drinking and clinking sounds outside, but their faces turned pale.

By chance, a few men who were staggering and speaking incoherently walked in from the gate.

"Hahaha, let's go take a shower. Tonight I'm going to show you what white means!"

"My skin feels so good after taking a shower~ Ohhhhh~"

The rough men sang childish songs, and the bath attendants who were about to take up their posts could not help but tremble.

Xia Yan turned around: "Be quiet! Can't you see there's a meeting going on here?!"

The men were having a great time and could not hear anything because their ears were plugged with chicken feathers, but immediately, a pair of hands grabbed their necks, and the fingers exerted force and pulled them back slightly. At the same time, a figure approached and a fierce voice was heard.

"My boss told you to be quiet, didn't you hear?"

His dilated pupils finally focused, and after seeing the face of the man behind him clearly, the man who was grabbed by the neck suddenly sobered up and clasped his hands together to beg for mercy.

"No, no, boss, be quiet, absolutely quiet!"

"I dare not, I dare not, I absolutely dare not."

"My neck is dirty, don't dirty your hands."

Xia Yan said to the temporary workers, "If you run into trouble in there, go find him. His name is Jing Yimai, and he's the store's bodyguard."
