An Ge's prediction was correct; once Xiao Ma and the others returned, the branch would experience a surge in customer traffic.
Back at the Immortal Inn, she first spent some time calming down the tantrum-throwing Long Aotian, and then told everyone about opening a branch in the apocalypse.
Although she is the owner of the inn, its development is not something she achieved alone. In her heart, it is a place where everyone works together, and many decisions are made through discussion.
She acted impulsively by opening a branch without consulting them this time.
While everyone was surprised, considering An Ge's personality, they had a feeling that it was indeed true.
“The store manager’s decision is excellent. The apocalypse is bound to be fraught with danger, so I’m applying to be stationed at the branch.” Lu Yan spoke first. It’s too peaceful here; he has no use for his skills at all.
An Ge felt a little guilty towards Lu Yan, just like how someone who should have joined the military was turned into a civilian employee by her.
“Lu Yan can go, but the development of the branch is not something that can be done overnight. The others are already busy enough, so they don’t need to go this time. I happen to have a divine servant position, and I plan to recruit another one.”
Hu Jiu nodded. "You can make these decisions."
Apart from Hu Jiu, no one else has seen the recruitment of divine servants.
The thought of a new member joining the team made everyone quickly put down what they were doing and prepare for the interview; even Chef Wei made time for it. An Ge looked speechlessly at the group of people behind her, hoping the new divine servant wouldn't be scared away.
The recruitment information for divine servants has been sent out, and two people currently meet the requirements.
An Ge clicked on the recruitment button, and a flash of white light appeared, from which a handsome man emerged from the void.
The man seemed startled by the scene before him, but then, realizing something, a hint of joy appeared on his otherwise indifferent face.
An Ge opened the male character attribute panel, and saw the following text:
Name: Cold War
Race: Human
Characteristics: A top leader focused on building a business, formerly a highly capable and domineering CEO.
Recruitment Matching Value: Three Stars
An Ge was stunned when she saw the special feature; this was the first time she had ever seen someone reveal the other person's past experiences.
"Domineering CEO," An Ge thought of Qing Yan, who was obsessed with domineering CEO quotes, and had a bad feeling.
Furthermore, the three-star match is far too low. It's just finding a manager for an inn; even if the domineering CEO persona isn't appealing, his abilities shouldn't be only three stars.
As An Ge was thinking, she saw Leng Zhan raise an eyebrow. "The legend is indeed true. Hello, Chosen One. I am Leng Zhan, the president of a listed company. I believe I have the ability to run an inn well."
"Then tell me about the inn's development plan," An Ge asked after briefly explaining the inn's situation.
Although he was unprepared for the Cold War, this problem was clearly no challenge for him. He spoke eloquently and gave An Ge a lot of inspiration.
His ability to wage a cold war is beyond doubt, and Hu Jiu and others seem extremely satisfied with him.
This domineering CEO didn't spout his usual slang as she expected. His tone was perfectly normal, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed like a perfect divine servant.
An Ge felt uneasy thinking about the matching star rating. The others didn't know why An Ge hesitated, but they tacitly remained silent.
The divine servants were ultimately chosen by Ange; they could offer opinions, but she would never obstruct them.
"Can I ask if you're still with your company?" She noticed the word "formerly" on the profile.
The Cold War seemed a little awkward when this was mentioned, but he quickly recovered.
"Actually, it's a small matter. I was driven away because the person I love has an ordinary background, and my family doesn't approve of us being together. Otherwise, they would take back my power in the company."
I'm not afraid of any of that. With my abilities, I can thrive anywhere. I can say that there's no one more suitable to take over in the family than me.
I believe they'll be begging me to go back soon. However, I have no plans to go back; I'm preparing to start a new company. Now, with the opportunity to become your divine servant, this is naturally a better choice for me.”
Hearing this, An Ge felt a little strange, assuming that the other party's family looked down on ordinary people because of their status.
The idea of a domineering CEO abandoning everything for love sounds wonderful, and it's often portrayed in TV dramas. It just goes to show that domineering CEOs are indeed domineering; their lives are just like those in dramas.
Can you tell me about your partner?
At this point, Leng Zhan's eyes lit up. "Of course."
When talking about his lover, Leng Zhan would go on and on, wanting to show An Ge all the good things about him.
An Ge felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. "Are you saying you originally had a fiancée, but fell in love with someone else before the wedding? And your lover knew about the other person?"
"That wasn't falling for someone else; it was finding true love. Ling'er is too kind; she even wanted to break up with me. How could I let such a kind person down?"
An Ge's lips twitched, so he was prepared to betray his childhood sweetheart, right? And if he were truly kind, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach her in the first place.
In An Ge's opinion, their meeting was like something out of an idol drama. If it weren't for the existence of this fiancée, it would probably be considered a sweet romance.
"Your family has placed all their resources and hopes on you since you were a child. If you just leave like this, what will happen to your family?"
“I am not their only child. Even if I am gone, there are others.”
But An Ge disagreed with him. From the snippets of conversation during the Cold War, she could tell that the other party's family wasn't what she thought.
There was no power struggle, and in order to prevent his brothers from fighting each other, his parents focused all their attention on him.
As for why they had to be separated, An Ge could understand.
Their son, on whom they had placed so much hope, suddenly broke off the engagement, not only delaying another girl's plans, but the girl he had his eye on was also no ordinary person. How could they possibly be willing to accept that?
If you put yourself in that girl's shoes, it's probably like the movie "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me".
But if you put yourself in the fiancée's shoes, it becomes "My fiancé was stolen by a mistress before we got married".
Ange took a deep breath. "One last question: what if you can't return to your own plane and see your lover after becoming a divine servant?"
Leng Zhan was stunned for a moment, clearly unaware that the divine servant had this restriction. He didn't want to give up the hard-won opportunity, but he also couldn't bear to part with his lover, and was in a dilemma.
"My lord, Ling'er is a very intelligent person and can help me a lot. With her around, the inn will definitely develop better. Could you also recruit her as a divine servant?"
"Heh." An Ge couldn't help but sneer. "What skills? The skills to please you?"
Even under the romanticized view of the Cold War, Ange couldn't find any redeeming qualities in that person.
"I know your choice. Goodbye." With that, under Leng Zhan's incredulous gaze, An Ge tossed him back into her own dimension.
"What bad luck." An Ge felt that her luck was really not good today, having encountered a love-struck person right from the start.
