Chapter 4: Fresh Water for Gold



A complete contrast to his gloomy appearance.

From beginning to end, Lin She behaved like a qualified assistant.

Friendly, polite and trustworthy.

The words "I'll help you" are like glutinous rice candy stuck to your teeth.

It has a sweet taste, but the sticky feeling on your teeth makes your mouth uncomfortable, and eating too much can cause tooth decay.

People who are isolated and helpless are prone to have wrong interpretations of this sentence.

Gu Huaiwei was always on guard. She didn't like sweets, especially from people of unknown origin, so she pretended to be cheerful and friendly and handed over the candies.

Anyone who has been in society knows that you should be wary of strangers who are very friendly to you right away. Such people usually have ulterior motives.

If you are not careful, you may get sold out and have to help others count the money.

Fortunately, although Lin She has a strange origin, he doesn't talk much and is a competent and good employee.

Gu Huaiwei asked him to draw the promotional design, and he started working without saying a word in the corner of the lobby.

What a qualified tool man.

When Xiao Youqi came down from upstairs, his face looked unhappy and he felt depressed.

"We agreed on this last time, a monthly subscription."

On the last day of the agreed deadline, he threw the remaining gold coins in front of Gu Huaiwei, said only one sentence, and returned to the room.

A total of 700 gold coins.

The heavy gold coins made Gu Huaiwei smile.

Gu Huaiwei had no business recently, so she rolled her black grape-like eyes around the hotel's only customer and set her sights on him.

In the past two days, Xiao Youqi was stranded at the Oasis Hotel due to injury and lack of supplies and was unable to go out.

The gold coins for the renewal fee were sent to him by his only good friend through the Skeleton Crow - of course, he had to pay a lot of handling fees.

A letter was also delivered at the same time.

His dear friend wrote more than 3,000 words, specifically mocking him for his poor performance in trying to cheat others but not only getting the goods but also getting seriously injured.

Xiao Youqi burned the letter angrily.

He felt that he was very unlucky and everything went wrong. The money he had stolen and robbed with great difficulty was all cheated away by his good friend!

Thinking of this, he looked at the endless yellow sand and the orange-yellow rusty sky outside. Fortunately, this strange hotel could allow him to recuperate temporarily.

But the days that followed were not easy. There were people chasing him in District 9, and he had very little gold left...

This hotel's security robot is too powerful to rob... What should I do?

Xiao Youqi didn't go out, so Gu Huaiwei took the initiative to knock on his door.

She waved one hand in greeting: "Hello, can I come in?"

Xiao Youqi pressed his finger against the door, squinting his eyes and warily looking at the black-haired girl wearing glasses at the door: "What are you doing here?"

“Caring about customers.”

Xiao Youqi looked at her with contempt, as if to say, "You think I'm a fool."

"Okay, I want to talk to you about something serious." Gu Huaiwei touched her nose and looked up at him. "It's so tiring to talk standing at the door."

The thick lenses blocked her eyes, which were originally as clear and transparent as a cat. Xiao Youqi wanted to know what she was up to, so he moved aside to make a gap and let her in.

"Can I ask you some personal questions?" Gu Huaiwei sat on the wooden bench in the hotel, her posture straight, her long legs together and slightly tilted, only occupying one-third of the seat.

Xiao Youqi brewed a cup of hot tea, with white mist rising from it. He sat on the sofa not far away, took a sip of tea, and said with a forced smile, "But I'm not in a position to answer your question."

In the wasteland era, tea has long become a scarce commodity even rarer than gold.

In this hotel, accommodation is free.

Not only that, he also found that every time after midnight, a series of consumables in the hotel, such as dirty towels, opened drinking water, toothbrushes, shower gel, etc., would automatically return to their original state.

Of course, you can’t take them out of the hotel.

Xiao Youqi could only try his best to enjoy himself in the hotel.

Take three baths and make eight pots of tea a day.

Gu Huaiwei remembered that she had rejected Xiao Youqi in the same way last time.

She smiled and said, "Have you held a grudge?"

"Reciprocity is the norm." Xiao Youqi raised his long and straight eyebrows.

Gu Huaiwei said in a relaxed tone: "Then let's skip the beating around the bush and talk business directly."

Common interests are the basis of conversation.

Gu Huaiwei's goal is to increase the hotel's customer base.

Xiao Youqi had just paid the rent and was short of money.

As long as their interests are aligned, Gu Huaiwei is not afraid that he will not cooperate.

In the past few days, Gu Huaiwei has discovered that except for Xiao Youqi who accidentally walked in here, no other guests have passed by the door.

I don't know where this hotel is located, and not even a dog has walked past the door.

Gu Huaiwei was so worried.

Without customers, you can’t make money.

If you don’t make money, you risk being fired.

If she is expelled, she may never find her missing sister.

The contaminated area is particularly dangerous at night. Storms carrying radiation will blow up, and the devastating wind will tear apart all living things that appear at night. Gu Huaiwei did not dare to leave the hotel easily.

She needs someone to help her gain more benefits in this world.

"What business?" Xiao Youqi was really interested. He loved talking business with others the most.

Of course, many people don't like talking to him.

Because he is immoral.

Gu Huaiwei didn't understand him.

To Gu Huaiwei, Xiao Youqi came from the wasteland and was the only guest.

He understands the outside world and has no connection with that boss Zhou Paopi.
