Chapter 44 Planning Ahead
With a bad feeling in her heart, Yue Man opened the door.
The moment he saw Wang Xiao, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely.
Judging from Wang Xiao's pattern of only contacting him when there's nothing wrong, this time he's probably not coming to see him for anything good.
Yue Man poked his head in and asked, "Boss Wang, you didn't come to see me for something, did you?"
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Yue, you are truly a genius! How did you know...?"
Before Wang Xiao could finish speaking, Yue Man quickly closed the door, but Wang Xiao, quick-witted and agile, stopped him.
After a symbolic struggle, Yue Man realized that Wang Xiao had him cornered, and opened the door with a sense of helplessness.
Yue Man leaned against the door, looking annoyed, and said, "Boss Wang, what's the matter this time?"
Wang Xiao said earnestly, "Mr. Yue, this situation is rather special, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you."
Seeing Wang Xiao's serious expression, Yue Man also became serious and asked, "What's going on? Is there something at this hotel that you, Boss Wang, can't handle?"
Soon, Wang Xiao briefly explained the situation Qin Huai'an had described to Yue Man.
After understanding the general situation, Yue Man asked softly, "So, Boss Wang, you're worried that this horde of zombies will pass through the hotel, and for the hotel's safety, you need my help to deal with those three mutated zombies?"
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "The main purpose this time is to investigate the size of the zombie horde. Of course, if we can take advantage of this investigation to deal with those three mutated zombies, that would be even better."
After all, if this horde of corpses were allowed to reach the hotel so easily and smoothly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that point, you'll likely be back to living a life of hiding and relying on fast food.
Upon hearing that he would have to return to eating instant noodles, Yue Man immediately turned around, picked up the long knife he had seen before, and said with a serious expression:
"Boss Wang, I'm ready. I think we can set off now!"
Unlike Qin Huai'an, Yue Man didn't have so many hidden agendas. His goal was simple: to keep everything as it was.
Since Wang Xiao promised him this kind of life, Yue Man would be the first to disagree with anyone who tried to ruin it.
After successfully persuading Yue Man to travel with him, Wang Xiao did not set off immediately. After signaling Yue Man to be patient and wait for his notification, he returned to the main hall.
If the horde of zombies continues to advance towards the hotel, then a large number of survivors will definitely be driven along the way.
At that time, he will not be at the hotel, and it will not be easy for the hotel's current staff to control the situation.
After summoning Wei Yan and Qin Huai'an, Wang Xiao, due to the urgency of the situation, directly explained his guess to the two of them.
When Wei Yan heard that Wang Xiao was going to check the situation himself, he was shocked, while Qin Huai'an seemed unsurprised.
Wei Yan asked worriedly, "Boss, isn't it too dangerous for you to take Yue Man alone?"
Wang Xiao shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not going to deal with the horde of zombies by myself. I'm just taking Yue Man to scout out the situation so we can make arrangements back at the hotel as soon as possible."
While I'm away, you need to keep an eye on the hotel for me, just like before.
Based on my prediction, a large number of survivors will likely escape to the hotel. How to handle and manage them will depend on your own on-the-spot decisions.
Wei Yan wanted to refuse and ask Wang Xiao to find someone else to take charge, but Wang Xiao's firm attitude shut him down.
After explaining everything that needed to be noted to Wei Yan, Wang Xiao turned his gaze to Qin Huai'an.
To be honest, if he could, he would have preferred to take Qin Huai'an with him, not Yue Man.
However, given Yue Man's condition, it was impossible for him to cope with the chaos that would ensue at the hotel.
If there were no other options, Wang Xiao really wouldn't want to leave Qin Huai'an in the hotel.
After all, this person is too dangerous.
He might go out for a while and come back to find his home gone.
"President Qin..."
As soon as Wang Xiao finished speaking, Qin Huai'an raised his hand to signal Wang Xiao not to say anything more.
Qin Huai'an said calmly, "Boss Wang, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, with me here, your hotel won't be in chaos."
Wang Xiao said, "Then thank you very much."
Qin Huai'an then frankly said, "Don't rush to thank me, Mr. Wang. If you don't come back for too long, your hotel might need to be renamed. For example, 'Qin's Hotel' would be quite nice. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"
Faced with Qin Huai'an's undisguised ambition, Wang Xiao was not angry. He smiled and said, "If I really didn't come back, Wei Yan and the others would not have suffered any losses following you."
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
For Wang Xiao, the worst-case scenario wasn't that Qin Huai'an occupied the hotel, but that the hotel was completely destroyed.
Even if Qin Huai'an did seize control of the hotel while he was away, Wang Xiao believed he wouldn't choose to destroy it.
After all, this guy needed the hotel to expand his influence, which was Qin Huai'an's original goal.
As long as the hotel remains, regardless of who controls it temporarily, it's only a matter of time before Wang Xiao takes it back.
Qin Huai'an was a smart man; he would never act rashly before he was certain of taking down Wang Xiao.
But if it were someone else, it would be hard to say.
Wang Xiao naturally knew that his actions were extremely dangerous; if he was not careful, the hotel would fall into the hands of others.
But compared to the risk of the hotel being completely destroyed, Wang Xiao could still tell which was more important.
After quickly reaching an agreement, Wang Xiao said directly, "Wei Yan, President Qin, the hotel is now in your hands."
We must take precautions against the zombie horde.
As for how to organize manpower, Wei Yan, you still need to learn a lot from President Qin.
Wei Yan nodded vigorously and said, "Understood."
Wei Yan might not have understood the meaning behind Wang Xiao's words, but how could Qin Huai'an not realize that Wang Xiao wanted him to help?
Qin Huai'an couldn't refuse Wang Xiao's arrangement, after all, he owed Wang Xiao a favor...
Whether it was to repay a favor or to maintain the morale of his subordinates, he had no choice but to accept it.
This is an open scheme.
Qin Huai'an slowly said, "Boss Wang, you really are cunning. Fine, I, Qin Huai'an, will take this."
With Qin Huai'an's help, the hotel shouldn't run into too much trouble.
If someone is truly blind to the danger, given Qin Huai'an's methods, that person's fate probably won't be any better.
After settling all the affairs at the hotel and having no worries, Wang Xiao and Yue Man immediately embarked on their journey, heading towards the direction the zombie horde was heading.
Seeing Wang Xiao drive out his car again, Yue Man couldn't help but ask, "Boss Wang, doesn't your hotel have any other cars available?"
Wang Xiao feigned surprise and said, "Mr. Yue, how did you know! Alright, since your car is just sitting there anyway, why not let it put it to some use? Don't you think so?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Man was speechless.
This guy is determined to turn his beloved car into a hotel shuttle.
And the only one to blame is that he didn't take the key back from Wang Xiao at the time.
