After hearing the response from the intelligent customer service, Shi Jiu felt relieved and now looked forward to the apartment being put into use as soon as possible.

After lunch, the sounds of construction work outside began again. However, the sound insulation in the hotel room was very good, and the sound of machines could still be vaguely heard in the lobby.

When Yan Yue arrived with a dozen psychics, he was surprised at the changes in the hotel. It had only been three or four days, but the changes were so big?

If it weren't for the plaque at the big iron gate, and the vague glimpse of the hotel lobby inside, Yan Yue would have suspected that he had taken the wrong road and come across another hotel.

"Boss, this... is different from the last time we saw it!" The subordinates muttered behind him, feeling a little worried. Last time, they had used their superpowers, but the hotel was not damaged at all.

"No matter whether he changes or not, we must win this cooperation!" Yan Yue was in a complicated mood, but finally made up his mind. He couldn't let that guy step on his head!

After saying that, he waved his hand, and everyone gripped their weapons tightly and walked into the hotel with their heads held high.

At this time, Shi Jiu was cracking melon seeds and watching TV series. She hadn't watched it for several days, so she installed another TV to play the live broadcast of the small black room separately.

Yan Yue brought people in, there were about a dozen people and there was still some movement. Shi Jiu turned around and saw, oh, isn't this the first "kind-hearted person" who gave her 500 crystal cores?

Shi Jiu no longer cared about what happened yesterday. Crystal cores were in short supply right now. If he could get a few more from him... maybe the apartment could be used tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Shi Jiu immediately stood up and said, "Hey, hello! Are you here to apply for a membership card?"

Yan Yue has locked himself in the room for the past three days to think of a solution. He also instructed that no one should disturb him unless it is important. He just came out to hurry on his way and didn't notice the scattered flyers on the ground. Now he is clueless.

"What flyers? Boss, I came here today to talk to you about cooperation!" Yan Yue looked at her smiling face, which was in stark contrast to her impatience last time. For a moment, he felt uneasy and had a bad premonition.

His subordinates came forward and briefly explained the matter of the flyers. Shi Jiu looked at this small group of people and calculated that there were definitely enough rooms left. Why not bring them in?

"I remember you, Mr. Yan, right? Although we didn't reach an agreement on cooperation last time, maybe this time it can be done?" As long as it is not a monopoly, everything can be easily negotiated.

"Come and apply for a membership card first. There are many discounts and benefits~" Shi Jiu took them to the counter and quickly helped them to apply. When Yan Yue came to his senses, he was holding a thin card in his hand.

"Would you like to check in? We've recently opened a luxury suite on the fourth floor, with three bedrooms and a living room. It's fully furnished and can provide guests with a more comfortable experience."

"You!" Yan Yue looked at her warily, but his hand quietly covered the purse on his waist. He felt that the cooperation had not even been discussed, but the crystal core had already been lost.

"Wait, let's talk about cooperation first!" Yan Yue urgently stopped Shi Jiu's sales pitch and brought the topic back.

"Okay, then come over and talk." Shi Jiu didn't care and walked back to the previous rest area. Since the lobby area has increased, the rest area has also expanded a lot, but it still has some shortcomings and is not private enough.

Let’s wait until the upgrade to see if we can open up a relatively closed space. Thinking of this, Shi Jiu went to the mall to look for it.

After reaching level four, half of the goods in the mall are open to purchase, and the food area is divided into multiple categories, with everything from biscuits and cakes, snacks, grains, oils and seasonings. She is now going to the furniture area to look for them.

She swiped a few times and found one that was very suitable for her current use: a screen!

Shi Jiu immediately placed an order for a few, put them in the physical warehouse, and asked Qin Lou to move them out.

"Xiao Qin, please take out the screen from the warehouse. I just need to talk to a customer."

Soon, the rest area was divided into several areas, which visually increased privacy.

"Mr. Yan, you won't come here this time and ask to buy all my things like you did last time, right?" Shi Jiu looked at him with a smile.

Yan Yue was speechless for a moment. He looked around and happened to be looking at the TV that was broadcasting live in the small dark room. He was startled by the several high-definition cameras on it.

"What...what's playing on this TV?" Shi Jiu followed his gaze and asked him with interest.

"Mr. Yan, do you want to experience this? This is a special feature of our hotel, the small dark room. Generally, people who come here to cause trouble and violate the hotel rules will be sent to the small dark room for forced labor."

"But don't worry, there's no danger to your life. You're just working in there in exchange for another way to stay."

Shi Jiu's words sounded like a direct threat to Yan Yue. It was clearly telling him that if he used force, he would end up like these people!

Yan Yue was extremely conflicted. He had brought these people here in the beginning just to have a battle with the hotel. After the other side lost, he could naturally take over the hotel and incorporate it into the Anhe base.

But... he looked up at Shi Jiu's pretty face with a smile, "This time... I want to come here to buy some goods to take back to the base."

After much hesitation, he decided to be safe and not say anything else.

"Sure. The hotel has a lot of new merchandise recently, and the prices aren't very expensive. If you want to participate in the promotion, just go to the front desk and register."

After purchasing a batch of goods, Yan Yue successfully obtained four space bracelets. He quickly connected them according to the method. After putting the purchased goods in, he did not leave immediately, but asked his subordinates to check in.

After everything was done, he did not look for Shi Jiu again. Under the guidance of Wang Yue, he went to the room that had been prepared.

After swiping his membership card to enter the room, the spacious and bright suite failed to attract Yan Yue's attention. He walked to the window and looked at the apartment under construction behind him, wondering what he was thinking.

The subordinates who followed him in had been holding their breath outside all the way. Now that there was finally no one around, they finally asked, "Boss, didn't we agree that we would start fighting as soon as we got here? Why…"

Yan Yue glanced at him and asked, "Do you think we have a chance of winning?"

He raised his hand and looked at the four space bracelets on his wrist, then pointed at the more than 200 people working hard below.

"Do you think these people are really working there voluntarily? This boss is much more powerful than we imagined!"

In just a few days, so many people were controlled by her and forced to do hard labor here. It’s scary to think about it!

In a hurry to go upstairs, Yan Yue did not see the task on the electronic screen after getting the membership card, and also ignored the benefits of the previous membership card. He just watched the people who were being reformed and the abnormal attitude of the boss on TV, and immediately imagined that Shi Jiu must be a high-level psychic.

If Shi Jiu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely cry out in injustice. How could she control her customers? She was clearly running a business with clearly marked prices, okay?!

My posts have been relatively short lately. I can't help it, I've been thinking about things. Friday's assessment has been weighing on my mind. It's another ten chapters. Two-point comments will get a small red envelope~
