"Hmph, a bunch of sycophants. Even if I'm stripped of my position, I'm not someone you can mess with. Go ahead and fawn over Fatty Tang, just don't come begging to me later. Even if you kneel down in front of me and beg, I won't give you the slightest help."
As soon as Xiao Chen sent out the message, it instantly sparked angry reactions in the five-building residents' group chat.
"Xiao Chen, who do you think you are? Your previous annual income was only 300,000."
"Everyone's income is about the same, I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from."
"Xiao Chen, do you want to die?"
The group chat was filled with insults directed at Xiao Chen. Of course, Xiao Chen wouldn't pay any attention to them now, but they'd have their turn when the apocalypse came.
When they realized that Xiao Chen didn't seem to say anything more, they all assumed that Xiao Chen had chickened out, which was a relief, even though they had forgotten that they were the ones who started the insults against Xiao Chen.
In reality, since Xiao Chen lived on the 23rd floor, the noise he caused wasn't very loud. It was only Tang Xiaohu's family, who lived below Xiao Chen, who were bothered by the noise. For the other residents, it wasn't considered noisy either. The reason they cursed Xiao Chen was simply because Tang Xiaohu was the director of the regulatory bureau.
"Hmph, this little bastard is scared now, isn't he? Just wait until he comes to my house and begs us on his knees."
In the hotel, Zhao Xiaohua lay naked on the bed, a relaxed smile on her face. In her mind, Xiao Chen would definitely come to apologize to them. With Tang Xiaohu's methods, it would be a trivial matter if Xiao Chen couldn't find a job in Hangzhou.
After all, why not try to please the head of the regulatory bureau?
Meanwhile, Shen Shuisi, who worked at the hotel, blocked Xiao Chen's contact information after she finished insulting him. Although Xiao Chen was a very good fish in her pond, it would be a loss if she offended Tang Xiaohu because of this. After doing all this, Shen Shuisi returned to the private room and continued to serve her guests.
Xiao Chen, who was in the Longxiang Hotel, turned off his phone and then chose to cultivate in order to avoid being disturbed while he was cultivating.
As evening approached, Xiao Chen's alarm clock rang, and he emerged from his cultivation state.
"It's time!"
Seeing that it was already midnight, Xiao Chen slowly stood up. He really wanted the delicious food at the Longxiang Hotel, and since there was still a lot of food in the hotel's warehouse, he decided to take advantage of the night to store it in his Creation Ring so that he could still enjoy delicious food in the apocalypse.
Of course, Xiao Chen wouldn't be foolish enough to just grab it directly. He had to be careful with this kind of thing, so he took out a stealth garment from the Creation Ring without hesitation.
Once draped over his body, his entire form vanished. Of course, Xiao Chen still existed, but he was invisible; only cultivators could sense his aura.
Soon, Xiao Chen, now wearing the invisibility cloak, set off for the restaurant of the Longxiang Hotel.
"Ha! It's so late, no one should be coming for a late-night snack."
Two waiters on duty in the restaurant yawned, their faces full of sleepiness.
The high prices at Longxiang Hotel are not without reason; even at midnight, there are staff serving customers in the restaurant. However, there are usually few people dining there at night, so Longxiang Hotel's actions are merely for show.
Just as the two staff members were about to take a nap, their eyes had barely closed for a moment when they suddenly sensed something and abruptly opened them.
Am I hallucinating?
She saw that all the food in the food area had disappeared, so she thought she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes, only to find that all the food was really gone.
So he hurriedly nudged his companion.
"Something's wrong! Get up! Something's happened!"
Her companion was quickly woken up by her push, her face still full of sleepiness.
"What happened?"
The other person asked, puzzled, but soon followed the gaze and saw that all the food in the pick-up area had disappeared.
Soon the senior management of Longxiang Hotel received the news and came here.
"How could it possibly disappear in an instant?"
The senior executives at Longxiang Hotel watched the footage on the monitor and saw that in just one second, all the food in the food pick-up area disappeared.
Keep in mind that this is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, which, according to their plan, would be enough for the Longxiang Hotel's meals for a week.
As for spoilage, Longxiang Hotel naturally took that into consideration. In addition, the shipping costs from overseas were too high, so Longxiang Hotel spent a lot of money to purchase the most advanced preservation equipment in the United States, which is enough to greatly extend the shelf life of seafood and the like.
“Things can’t just disappear into thin air. According to the law of conservation of energy, something must have taken them. Pass down the order: every guest leaving the hotel must be searched before they can leave!”
Soon the hotel's senior management gave the order.
As for detaining them, they wouldn't dare do that. Every day, many powerful and influential people from Hangzhou come to Longxiang Hotel to do their favorite things, and they wouldn't dare to detain them. Besides, these seafood items are only worth a few million, which isn't a lot of money.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen had returned to his presidential suite, removed the invisibility cloak, and couldn't help but marvel at how devastating it was for the Longxiang Hotel.
How could they possibly find their own head under such circumstances?
"But with this invisibility cloak, perhaps I can steal supplies from some larger places?"
Xiao Chen quickly realized this and thought it might not be impossible, so he clapped his hands and got to work, putting on the invisibility cloak and heading out of the hotel.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the entrance of Longxiang Hotel, he saw them searching the guests leaving the hotel. It seemed to be their way of handling the case of the missing food. Xiao Chen was not too worried, since who would suspect a ring?
Soon, under the cover of night, Xiao Chen went to various supermarkets and happily made some zero-yuan purchases, only returning to the Longxiang Hotel at dawn.
