Chapter 589 As usual
Teacher Huang paused slightly in his stroking motion, blinked, and then very naturally picked up a book and turned to the back to see the price.
"Boss Xia, please give me a lower price. If I'm not mistaken, these books must have been stored in your warehouse for a long time. Besides, I bought so many things from you, so give me a bigger discount."
Xia Yan covered his chest and took a few steps back.
She looked at Teacher Huang with an incredible look.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually bargained with her! And he was quite good at it!
"It's not that cheap anymore," Xia Yan shook his head. "It's at least 20% off. They're all brand new and no one has ever looked at them."
"...Look through it? Did you retrieve it from somewhere else?"
Teacher Huang keenly noticed the loophole in the words.
"No, these are my books, but I bought them at the original price. I originally wanted to collect them, but I see that Teacher Huang is a book lover. If these books are in your hands, their value will definitely be better than if they are in my hands!"
Xia Yan praised Teacher Huang in many ways. In order to get some benefits from the system, she really went all out.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Huang didn't buy it at all and continued to bargain.
The two sides argued for a long time, but in order to sell the goods, Xia Yan finally made a concession and sold them at a 30% discount.
After the money was exchanged for the goods, Xia Yan and Teacher Huang were both very satisfied.
"I wish your business will grow bigger and bigger in the future." Knowing that Xia Yan was about to leave, Teacher Huang pushed the door open to see her off.
Xia Yan turned around and said, "Teacher Huang, please change your blessing. I prefer to hear words like 'good luck' or something like that."
Teacher Huang is worthy of being a teacher. His reaction is definitely quick. Without any pause, he spit out a long list of non-repetitive words.
Outside the house, Arula and Cairang came to see her off.
It is obvious that the two parties are just in a business relationship and can barely be considered friends, but they obviously don't think so.
Maybe it’s because they haven’t seen a living person for a long time, and when they suddenly meet one, they feel a sense of brotherhood?
Xia Yan said, "After I leave, perhaps a search and rescue team will come here one day. That will mean that a stable social system has been established."
They looked at each other, not understanding, but that didn't affect their sadness at parting, especially since they knew they would never see each other again.
Although Xia Yan knew that she would eventually forget their appearance, at this moment, she still memorized their appearance carefully and seriously in her mind.
'Go home.'
After she uttered the last word, she left.
Arula and the two children were still waving their hands in the air, but they disappeared as if they had never appeared.
"Let's go play for a while, we have classes later."
Arula pushed the child forward on his back and then went to do the endless housework.
Cai Rang picked up the shovel and continued to dig the ditch, inserting sharp steel bars underneath.
Teacher Huang placed the books neatly on his desk, opened one at random, and buried his head in it to deeply smell the fragrance of the book.
The two children were sad for a while, but as they put a piece of candy in their mouths, their happiness returned.
...
Xia Yan's travel life also proceeded as planned.
She went to the end of the earth, saw the black sand beach, strolled in palaces of various shapes, and visited famous paintings covered in dust.
She once sat on a dangerous rock exposed to the sun and enjoyed the breeze, and she also once released a Kongming lantern with twinkling lights on the cold and bleak coast.
In the city where buildings collapsed, the station glass was shattered, paper scraps were scattered all over the floor, a few chairs lay in the corner, and the calendar next to the mirror was stuck on the wrong date.
Time unfolded before her eyes in the form of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
After a long time, Xia Yan finally saw the weather-beaten face and rough hands again.
It was an early morning. She woke up naturally and after having breakfast, she went out for a walk when she suddenly made eye contact with the survivors who had gathered outside at some point in time.
His gaze passed over their heads and fell on the names written on the high wall.
This time they arrived at the outer gate of the base.
The survivors outside the protective shield should be the indigenous people who came out of the base and were preparing to kill zombies or look for supplies.
At this time, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the base, running towards here, and the crowd automatically dispersed to both sides, making a wide path.
It was a team wearing uniform. The man in the lead first looked up at the top of the hotel, then looked down, and when his eyes fell on Xia Yan's face, he showed surprise.
He seemed to know himself.
Xia Yan frowned slightly and searched through her entire memory, but she couldn't find any scene of her having seen this person before.
Just as she was thinking about it, the team had passed through the protective shield and walked in front of her. The man in the lead smiled with eight teeth showing.
"Welcome, Boss Xia, to visit our base!"
"...Oh, okay."
He was so enthusiastic, as if the two of them had met before. This thought made Xia Yan look at him a few more times.
The man let her look at him and saw her expression as she thought for a long time but still couldn't remember.
He coughed lightly and whispered, "Boss Xia, I'm E Ze, and I used to work for General Chu."
Is he General Chu's man?
After hearing this, Xia Yan suddenly remembered that this was the person she had wanted to teleport directly to the store and had been driven away by her several times!
Come to think of it, he's the only one who's been struck by lightning in all the time the restaurant has been open...
"So it's you. It's been so long since we last met that I really forgot."
There was no way Xia Yan would admit that she had a bad memory!
E Ze nodded in understanding. "When General Chu went to Chuntai Island, I was transferred here. I just heard from my subordinates that a hotel suddenly appeared outside the city. I thought it could only be you, but when I saw you, it took me a few seconds to confirm it. You haven't changed at all in all these years."
Xia Yan just smiled and said nothing.
More and more residents came to watch the excitement outside the protective shield. Seeing that the base commander was chatting happily with the other party, they hid their worries in their hearts and began to feel curious about this hotel.
They had heard stories of the resort's glory days.
There are several dining areas inside. As long as you bring enough crystal cores and don’t waste them, you can eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want. There are even several flavors of ice cream!
In the past, they just thought it was a joke, but now that the holiday hotel really appeared before their eyes, they believed that it was all true!
"Xiongxiong, Xiaowan, get ready to welcome the guests." Xia Yan said.
Xiong Xiong exclaimed "Hey" and skipped over, while Xiao Wan went back to the front desk in the hall, ready to recharge and apply for cards for customers.
The gentleman bear bowed and extended his paw to guide the customers.
"Welcome to the resort hotel. We'll only be here for a day or two. If you need to buy anything, please hurry up."
But the customers outside the door turned their heads to look at their base leader.
E Ze gestured to his men to make way for the entrance: "Did you all bring crystal cores? If so, please come in. The resort hotel is well-stocked. Buy whatever you need as soon as possible."
