Chapter 54 You Can Indeed Help Me

"Boss Xia is here?"

Qi Hua, who was struggling to fetch water, rolled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead and poured half a bucket of turbid water into another bucket. He was quite surprised to hear this. What was she doing here?

"Yes! Boss Xia specifically asked you to come over. There's a huge insulated box in the back seat of her car, and there must be supplies inside! Go quickly, and don't keep Boss Xia waiting anxiously!"

Wang Xuewei pulled his arm and hurried over.

She didn't say some things directly.

If Boss Xia really brings supplies, she must be planning to sell them. She still has points in her card, so it would be best for her to buy more before others!

Don't let other teams get ahead of you!

Seeing that Qi Hua was still reluctant to give up the half bucket of water, Wang Xuewei pushed her brother and said, "Be good, help brother Qi Hua take the water back. I'll buy you something delicious!"

The younger brother was unhappy and wanted to go back to see the fairy, but his sister glared at him and made him pick up the water obediently.

"Let's go, Brother Qi Hua!"

Wang Xuewei led the way and ran at full speed, with Qi Hua following closely.

Soon, Qi Hua saw that the open space in front was crowded with people, wrapped in three layers of clothes.

"Make way! Make way!" Wang Xuewei pushed away the crowd that was in the way and tried hard to squeeze through a passage.

In the middle of the crowd, Boss Xia was wearing a beautiful dress, with a smile on her face and a fair complexion. She formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated and grey surroundings of the survivors struggling to make ends meet!

Qi Hua was in a trance and didn't know when he stopped in front of Boss Xia.

"Captain Qi Hua, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Xia Yan took off his mask, still with that familiar smiling face, as if he didn't notice the wolf-like eyes around him at all.

"Xia, Boss Xia, long time no see." Qi Hua came back to his senses and wiped the dampness from his palms on his clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xia Yan acted as if he hadn't noticed. He glanced around and then looked back at Qi Hua. His tone became more serious. "Captain Qi Hua, I brought some things... It's not convenient to talk here. Should we go somewhere else?"

Qi Hua glanced at the incubator, understood what she meant, nodded, and prepared to take her home to talk.

Xia Yan got on the electric bike and followed him.

With Qi Hua leading the way, people on both sides of the road moved aside to make way.

Xia Yan ignored the many glances directed at her.

As they left, the crowd followed suit, their eyes fixed on the incubator with gloomy expressions.

Wang Xuewei, Wang Yi, and Li Qiang walked at the back, glaring back at anyone who had any ideas.

Everyone knows that there are supplies here.

Those who were quick-witted heard that Qi Hua was going to take the girl home, so they ran to inform Qi Hua's parents early to make the best of it.

Upon hearing that a senior leader was coming to inspect their home, the couple hurriedly changed into their cleanest clothes, quickly cleaned the house, and then met him on the roadside, tugging at their clothes with a look of restraint on their faces, trying to cover up the dark stains.

Amid the envious gazes of their neighbors, the couple felt uneasy, but there was also a hint of complacency in their expressions.

Look at his son, not only does he have powerful abilities, he also has a place in the base, and now he's even been recognized by the top leader...

Qi Hua saw his parents on the roadside and felt helpless.

He glanced at Boss Xia, and for some reason, seeing that she was still as gentle as the wind, his heart calmed down.

"Boss Xia, these are my parents."

Xia Yan smiled and nodded, "Hello, Auntie and Uncle."

"Mom and Dad, this is Boss Xia."

"Hello, leader. Welcome to visit my home!"

The couple was extremely excited. They never expected that the boss was not only good-looking but also had such a good temper. He was totally different from the 50 or so leaders in the base who looked down on others!

Qi Hua looked at his parents with amusement, but it was not easy to correct them. Boss Xia didn't care anyway, so he just let them be.

"Mom and Dad, Boss Xia and I need to talk about something, please don't come in and disturb us."

"Oh, okay, okay, no problem, go get busy."

"Boss Xia, please come in. The room is simple, I hope you don't mind." Qi Hua stretched out a hand to open the door and turned back to invite.

"Won't."

Walking into the house, Xia Yan felt that Qi Hua's description of "simple" was an understatement.

It can be said that the house is basically bare, with nothing in it except the necessary bed and cabinets.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Xia." Qi Hua walked to the back kitchen, cleaned the cup, and poured out a glass of not-so-clear water from the thermos.

"Boss Xia, please drink some water."

She took it with both hands and thanked him sincerely.

"Boss Xia, you've come all the way here. Is there anything I can help you with?" Qi Hua was a little curious and didn't know what Boss Xia wanted to do.

Xia Yan nodded, "Indeed, you can help me."

After a pause, she continued, "You know, the shop sells boxed lunches and water. But the shop is in the city center, and very few people know about it. Even if the prices are low, it's a waste of resources if no one knows about it."

"Then I understand what Boss Xia means. Boss Xia wants me to help promote the hotel, right?"

"Um."

"Boss Xia, leave this matter to me. I will make sure to publicize it properly!" Qi Hua nodded solemnly, not thinking it was a difficult task.

"I also brought some packed lunches and water today. The prices are the same as at the hotel. Do you think you can organize it?"

Just saying that the hotel can sell supplies is not enough to make them take the risk, but with the actual goods right under their noses, and with Qi Hua's team doing the publicity, there is no need to worry that these people will not come!

"That's fine too. Boss Xia, please wait here for a while. I'll be out for a while."

"Wait, those with crystal cores are given priority and need to apply for a card."

Qi Hua paused, nodded, and went out.

There was a commotion outside, and after the noise died down, Qi Hua came back and called her.

"Boss Xia, that's enough."

When Xia Yan came out of the door, she saw several tables in front of her and a circle of open space in front. Countless people were gathered in the outer circle, staring at her with sharp eyes.

She walked to the table, her eyes swept across everyone's face with determination, coughed lightly, and raised her voice.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mr. Xia from the Resort Hotel. I'm here at the Third Base to tell you some good news."

"The resort hotel has opened a restaurant to the public! It's open 24/7, from 8 AM to 6 PM! They have steamed buns, dumplings, soy milk, milk, rice bowls, noodles... everything you need! As long as you have crystal cores, you're welcome to apply for a points card here. A first-level crystal core can be exchanged for 100 points, and a box lunch like this—"

Xia Yan opened the thermal box, took out a box of barbecue rice, and opened the package so that everyone could see it clearly.

"—A whole box of BBQ rice is only 15 points! Everyone, do the math, how many boxes can you buy with 100 points?! Yes, 6 boxes!"

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the crowd became restless in an instant.

"And! Not only is there enough food in this restaurant, we also provide water! Clean, unadulterated water! A bottle of mineral water like this can be bought for just 2 points! 100 points buys 50 bottles!"

Xia Yan raised the mineral water in his hand, and the crystal clear water flashed a breathtaking light under the sunlight!

"I, Boss Xia, hereby promise! As long as you abide by the hotel rules and don't fight, cause trouble, or intentionally damage the hotel facilities, the hotel welcomes anyone who wants to live!"
