Doomsday B&B

After leaving the convenience store, Qi Yun encountered the Thunder Squad, who were about to enter. Upon seeing Qi Yun, Han Yun spoke up:

"Boss Qi, we were just about to talk to you. We've been eating and living quite well lately and haven't been going back to base as often. Our good team, the First Squad, found out, and we told them. After the First Squad reported the situation, the authorities want to cooperate with you. They're waiting outside right now. What do you think?"

"Representing the Shenyang municipal government in cooperating with me?"

"Yes, the First Squad is the highest combat force in Shenyang Base. They are directly responsible to the top leader of Shenyang Base and have great power. Moreover, they directly execute the orders of the top official leader, so there is no harm in cooperating with them."

"Oh? Really."

"Really, really, Sister Qiyun, my brother is one of them too. I swear on my own life, there will only be benefits and no harm." Xu Yang was getting anxious listening to the two's official conversation.

"Wow, little one has such a great older brother?"

"Hehehe, Sister Qiyun, what do you say? Is it going to work or not?"

“Sure, why not? Just take them to my courtyard, I’ll wait there.”

"Okay." With that, Xu Yang ran out of the guesthouse.

Han Yun watched as Xu Yang ran off and arranged for the other three to go shopping. He then followed Qi Yun to Qi Yun's courtyard. Since their team had reached a certain level of consumption, their computer storage space was activated, which was enough to store some living supplies. So they didn't have to wait for Xu Yang to pack. The three of them could each pack some, and then share them with Xu Yang and Han Yun later.

Upon entering the courtyard, Qi Yun invited Han Yun to sit down. Qi Yun went inside and brought out a kettle of cold water and a stack of disposable paper cups, which she placed on the table in the courtyard. Just as she finished setting them up, Xu Yang entered with six other people.

"Sister Qiyun, I'm here! They are the captain and some of the main members of the first team. My brother is here too!" Xu Yang called out as she walked into the courtyard.

"Alright, kid, stop yelling. What kind of talk is that? If you keep this up, I'll get your parents to beat you when we get home." A clear-voiced boy scolded Xu Yang.

"elder brother……"

"Alright, even pleading won't work. Go and open another small courtyard. When we get back, I'll bring my parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents over."

"Okay, brother, I'm going now. You two can talk to Sister Qiyun slowly." With that, she skipped away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, I'm Xu Qing, and Xu Yang is my younger brother. He's been spoiled rotten by his family since he was a child, so I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"No, no, I also really like Xu Yang's personality. She's very cheerful and lively."

"Thank you for the compliment, Boss Qi. Now let's get down to business. This is our captain, Ouyang Qing, a dual-elemental ability user of both lightning and fire. This is Zhou Ziyu, a light-elemental ability user who is in charge of everything in the team. This is Wu Yiran, a dark-elemental ability user who is mainly responsible for fighting. This is Zheng Jiayi, a wood-elemental ability user who is responsible for controlling the situation. This is Wang Ziqi, a fire-elemental ability user who is also responsible for charging into battle."

"Hello."

"Boss Qi, hello. I'm sure you've already heard Han Yun tell you why we're here, so I'll get straight to the point," Zhou Ziyu said with a smile as she stepped forward.

"Okay, let's sit here and talk." He said, leading the group to the chairs that had been prepared beforehand.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Qi Yun spoke:

"Alright, I don't know if you represent the First Squad or the Shenyang Base officials."

"Don't worry, Boss Qi. Whether it's our team or the official channels, we won't treat you unfairly."

Qi Yun shook his head and said:

“I’m not afraid of that. The quantity of things you purchase will definitely be different, and my discounts will definitely be different as well.”

"Boss Qi is a straightforward person. So I'll speak frankly, representing both the official stance and our team's position."

"Oh, that's easy. Since Comrade Zhou is so honest, I'll definitely give your team the lowest possible discount. I wonder what you need? Do you have a list?"

"Then I thank you in advance, Boss Qi. Here is the list of supplies needed, and the quantities are marked. Please take a look and see if we can provide them." With that, Zhou Ziyu took out two lists from her backpack and handed them to Qi Yun.

After taking it, Qi Yun casually flipped through it and then called Tuan Tuan over:

"Tuantuan, scan these two lists, print out a new one, and mark the prices and missing items. If there are similar replacements for missing items, mark them as well. Also, calculate the total price according to the quantity of each item. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Yunyun, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you go ahead."

After watching Tuantuan take the list away, Qi Yun looked at the stunned group beside her. The others were too embarrassed to speak since they had just met, but Xu Yang happened to return at that moment. He wasn't shy at all and asked:

"Sister, what's that? It looks like a panda to me?"

"Yes, it's just one of my smart assistants, but it looks like a panda."

"Oh my, I thought it was a real panda. It can even fly, that's amazing." Xu Yang didn't realize how much more relaxed his tone was compared to the previous sentence. At the same time, everyone else in the yard also breathed a sigh of relief. It's no wonder they were so surprised; after the apocalypse, animals either turned into zombies or became huge and violent. There was no animal this small and docile.

While Qi Yun was explaining, Tuan Tuan brought out the new list. Qi Yun glanced at it briefly and handed both lists to Zhou Ziyu at the same time.

"Here, Mr. Zhou, take a look. The prices are all marked and calculated. However, some items that are not available have been replaced with items of the same function. If you are okay with this new list, please go with it. Also, this is the original price. If you are sure, I will tell you about the discount."

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Qi. I’ll take a look now,” Zhou Ziyu said after taking the list.

"Hmm, no rush, take your time looking around." With that, she went back inside, opened the refrigerator, took a look, and prepared a fruit platter before bringing it out.

"Here, have some fruit. Comrade Zhou, you have some too. Take your time looking around, there's no rush."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Qi." Zhou Ziyu reached out and took a piece of fruit to eat. The others also took some fruit and started eating, with Xu Yang eating the most happily.

"Xu Yang."

"What's up, bro?"

"What kind of eating manners are you? Huh? Fruit is so precious these days, and you're eating like this?" Xu Qing said angrily as Xu Yang continued to eat.

Seeing that Xu Qingzhen was angry, he quickly tried to explain:

"Brother, Sister Qi sells all of these at her convenience store, really, lots of them. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see. Don't look at me like that." He added when he saw Xu Qing looking at him suspiciously.

"Then take me to see it." With that, Xu Qing stood up, reached out, grabbed Xu Yang by the collar, and walked out.

"Hey, brother, don't grab my collar. I'm not short of legs, I can walk by myself. Let go." The two of them had already gone out the door, and even after they had walked quite a distance, they could still hear Xu Yang nagging on and on.

After about half an hour, Chou Tzu-yu finished looking at the list and said to Qi Yun:

"Boss Qi, this is fine, we'll go with your new list. But what about the discount?"

"The discount is no problem, but as you can see, my goods aren't expensive to begin with, so the discount I'm offering you is already 8% off the official price and 9% off your team's price. That's the lowest I can offer, and I won't accept any more bargaining. However, if this collaboration goes smoothly, I can give you a perk."

"Boss Qi is very generous. We're satisfied with this arrangement. On behalf of our leaders and the people of the base, thank you."

"You're welcome. When are you planning to pick up the goods?"

"Of course, the sooner the better."

"Okay, is it alright to collect my things here?"

"here?"

Yes, here.

"of course can."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, Qi Yun called Tuan Tuan over:

"Tuantuan, prepare according to this checklist. Let me know when you're ready."

"Okay, wait for me 3 minutes."

During the few minutes they waited, Xu Yang and Xu Qing returned.

"Captain, Xiaoyu, you should come with me to take a look too."

"How should I put it, Brother Qing?"

"I think you'll buy more things after you see this."

"Shall we settle the bill later, Mr. Qi?"

“Okay, perfect timing, you all go get your personal computers sorted out, I’ll give you the perks. Let’s go.” With that, Qi Yun stood up briskly and led the way out.
