Doomsday B&B

General Chu waited anxiously outside the door. Seeing that his wife and daughter had not come out, he didn't care about anything else and knocked on the office door.

"Knock down."

Upon hearing the knock, the mother and daughter said in unison:

"It's over!"

Qi Huan heard their conversation and asked:

"what happened?"

"My dad is still outside."

My husband is still outside.

Hearing the mother and daughter's answer, Qi Huan laughed heartily and quickly said:

"Enter."

Chu Jiao pushed open the door and entered. Qi Huan saw General Chu enter and quickly stood up to greet him.

"General Chu, hello. I didn't know you were here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, no, this is my daughter, this is my wife. I saw that they hadn't come out for so long, so I thought I'd come in and ask."

Chu Jiangshan waved his hand repeatedly, then pointed to Chu Yunxi and Lin Zhiyi and introduced them.

"So that's why! These two outstanding women are your family members. I've really struck gold this time. Not only will your daughter be staying to work at our guesthouse, but your wife will be staying too!"

"Oh?"

“I just saw Xiaoxi’s painting and thought it was very good. I also heard that she was taught by your wife, so I invited your wife to work at our guesthouse. Fortunately, your wife agreed. In the future, your wife will be an art professor at our soon-to-be-established university, and at the same time, she will also serve as the head of the guesthouse’s costume design department and an artist, receiving three salaries. Your daughter will also hold two positions, serving as a costume designer and an artist, receiving two salaries.”

After hearing Qi Huan's words, and glancing at his smiling wife and daughter beside him, he felt a pang of sadness, but he couldn't show it. He could only say to Qi Huan:

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on. My daughter hasn't been to school since the apocalypse. Everything she learned was taught at home by my wife, let alone office culture. Although my wife used to be a teacher, she's not very good at interpersonal relationships."

"As long as the two of you are competent, you don't need to worry about anything else. Our guesthouse doesn't operate on that kind of thing."

Lin Zhiyi couldn't stand listening to her husband and Qi Huan's back-and-forth exchange and said to her husband:

"Okay, honey, stop wasting our time here. You can go now. My daughter and I will be living in a guesthouse from now on; it'll be more convenient for working."

"what?"

Chu Jiangshan was taken aback by Lin Zhiyi's words and blurted out a question.

"What do you mean? You should live where you work, isn't that the right thing to do? Besides, they provide room and board here, so I don't have to go back to cook and do laundry for you. Isn't that great? Okay, you can go now. We'll let you know when we've finalized the dormitory location and the renovations are complete."

Then, ignoring the look of surprise on Chu Jiangshan's face—that his wife and children had left him after he went out—he asked Qi Huan for a dormitory room for himself and his daughter.

"Manager, could we arrange for our dormitory to be in the animal shelter?"

Can I know the reason?

Qi Huan looked at the woman in front of him, who was middle-aged but still beautiful and innocent, and asked gently.

"Yes, the environment is nice, I sleep comfortably, and there are cute plush toys. If I could work there, I think my inspiration would keep flowing."

"So you not only want to live there, but you also plan to move your office there?"

"Is that okay?"

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yunxi blinked their identical big eyes and stared longingly at Qi Huan.

Qi Huan panicked. Although she had recently changed her hobby and taken to looking at beautiful people, the sight of two such beautiful eyes staring at her made her soften instantly, and she quickly agreed.

"Okay, I'll apply for a separate tree for you two, with a studio and a dormitory room for each of you. I'll make the arrangements. Each dormitory room can be expanded to 60 square meters, and the studios have no size limit. If you need more space in the future, you can expand them anytime. How does that sound?"

"Okay, great!"

"Okay, shall you two sign these two contracts?"

Qi Huan took two official contracts and a signing pen and handed them to Chu Yunxi and Lin Zhiyi respectively.

Seeing that the two were about to sign the contract, Chu Jiangshan couldn't sit still any longer. If he stayed any longer, he would be all alone in the future.

He reached out and stopped his wife from signing the contract, ignoring his daughter, since she was just an unwanted third wheel anyway.

Chu Yunxi only stopped when she saw her father stopping her mother.

"Honey, are you really going to leave me all alone at home like this? How can you bear to do that?"

"How could I be so heartless? Being heartless towards you is being cruel to myself. Humph!"

"Okay, you decide. Can I move in then?"

"My opinion doesn't count; we have to ask our manager."

Then Qi Huan saw two pairs of identical big eyes staring at him.

Qi Huan had no choice but to explain:

"Our guesthouse allows family members to stay in the staff dormitory. So, your worries are unfounded. Teacher Lin can rest assured to bring General Chu to stay there. Besides, our boss has reserved a small treehouse for General Chu in the animal comfort room, right? Or I can arrange for you to stay there as well."

"No need, no need, just unbind mine. I won't need it anymore. I'll just use my wife's account. But could you add a big platform for us to hang out on?"

“Absolutely. You can handle the unbinding yourself. Now, Teacher Lin and Xiaoxi can sign their contract, right, General Chu?”

"Ok, Ok."

General Chu then let go of his wife's hand.

Then Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yunxi signed the contract that Qi Huan had given them.

After seeing the two sign the contract, Qi Huan said to them:

"That's good, but your dorm and studio won't be open until the afternoon. Our boss hasn't gotten up yet. But you can take a look around our guesthouse. Quite a few families have opened small shops, many of which are quite nice and perfect for Xiaoxi and Teacher Lin to enjoy. Or you can use the map on your personal computer to find what interests you."

"There's a map on the computer?"

Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.

"Yes, our boss added this feature because he saw that quite a few small shops had opened. By the way, Ms. Lin, could you and Xiaoxi prepare a suitable means of transportation? I can reimburse you. Or you can come to our logistics department to pick it up in a day or two. I'm setting up the logistics department now, and it should be ready in a day or two."

"No rush, we won't go too far. We can pick it up at the logistics department later, it will be more convenient."

"Okay, then you and Xiaoxi should pay attention to the notice. In addition to the transportation, there will be some other benefits as well."

"Okay, I understand. Manager, we'll be leaving now."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."
