ng Xu didn’t get to eat the hotpot he had been longing for, but the ten survivors hiding in the hotpot restaurant did get to eat so half-cooked and burnt fried chicken cutlets.
When the zombie apocalypse first struck, so issues arose damaging the equipnt.
ng Xu felt deeply sorry about this.
What’s the greatest sorrow in life?
It’s having money but no way to spend it.
ng Xu was stuck in this state, making him quite uncomfortable.
But it didn’t matter. After selling all the fried chicken cutlets, ng Xu planned to hit the road again.
“Enjoy your als.”
ng Xu had no intention of recruiting these people.
After all, they were too far away to bring back to his company.
“Um…”
The manager hesitated, looking quite embarrassed. Finally, he mustered the courage to invite ng Xu.
“Brother, why don’t you stay? You’re very capable. If we stick together, we can definitely wait for official rescue! I recently received a call from an employee managing a branch in Taoxian. He told the Heqing City Residents’ Mutual Aid and Self-Rescue Committee has already established a safety zone in the towns over there. They’re expected to return to the city in a few days…”
“Our food supplies are quite plentiful… although it’s mostly raw vegetables, we can cook them slowly and have enough to last for a few weeks.”
It was clear the manager was kind-hearted.
This news piqued ng Xu’s interest.
A safety zone established in Taoxian?
Taoxian is one of the counties under Heqing City’s jurisdiction. Heqing City consists of three districts and four counties. The Tech Innovation Building and the apartnt where ng Xu usually rented are located in Qingnan District, one of the three districts. It’s an old city area, the old city center, whereas the current economic center has shifted to Qingbei District, which is the most prosperous area now.
And Taoxian… is the farthest county from Heqing City’s urban area.
Establishing a safety zone in Taoxian likely serves to join forces with neighboring cities?
Or maybe… the population in Taoxian is the smallest among Heqing City’s jurisdictions?
ng Xu couldn’t figure it out, but he had so doubts about this ‘Residents’ Mutual Aid and Self-Rescue Committee.’
Logically, maintaining stability should be the job of the official authorities, so what’s this self-rescue committee? Can it represent the official authorities?
Or is it a special institution set up by the authorities for this event?
ng Xu couldn’t understand, so he decided not to think about it.
It was good enough to know such news.
“No, I still need to go out and sell fried chicken cutlets.”
ng Xu yawned and suddenly had a quirky idea. He smiled at the man in front of him and said, “How about this—sell so shares of this hotpot restaurant and make it a subsidiary under my Peace and Order corporation. Develop well, and when I pass by in the future, I’ll prioritize providing you with supplies. The company will also consider your needs.”
Hearing ng Xu’s words, the man was stunned for a mont and then nodded.
“Sure.”
It’s the end of the world, so why not play along with ng Xu.
His four branch stores in Heqing were probably all done for. Since he had nothing left, it didn’t matter what he did now.
As the man nodded, a line of golden text appeared before ng Xu’s eyes.
【New Subsidiary Added.】
ng Xu: ?
He had rely ntioned it casually but didn’t expect this option to exist.
For a mont, ng Xu’s interest was piqued. With a thought, a semi-transparent panel imdiately appeared before him, displaying lines of golden text.
【Peace and Order】
【Chairman: ng Xu】
【Number of Employees: 4】
【Departnts: Security (3 people), Secretariat (1 person)】
【Subsidiaries: Temporary Survival Group (General Manager: Kong Weizhen, 12 mbers), Ant Hotpot Food Co., Ltd. (General Manager: Song Yufan, 9 mbers)】
【Business Directions: Custor Service, Catering】
【Total Assets: 191,000 yuan】
【Monthly Expenditure: 90,000 yuan】
【Average Monthly Profit: 0】
【Status: Loss-making.】
Additionally, a miniature map appeared on the side, marking the locations of Peace and Order, Temporary Survival Group, and Ant Hotpot Food Co., Ltd., with a faint golden line connecting them.
Of course, apart from these three places, the rest of the area was blurry and couldn’t be used as a proper map.
Looking at the lines of golden text before him, ng Xu felt quite complicated.
It’s just…
He hadn’t even completed his procedures yet.
But he already had two subsidiaries.
A seemingly bizarre determination thod—could this work?
Also, I know I’m currently loss-making; stop reminding .
ng Xu sighed deeply. The way this subsidiary was determined seed rather arbitrary to him.
Seeing ng Xu lost in thought, the man beside him, Song Yufan—the General Manager of Ant Hotpot Food Co., Ltd.—didn’t say a word and just waited quietly for ng Xu to co around.
Soon enough, ng Xu snapped back to reality.
Although he didn’t quite understand the benefit of having two subsidiaries, it felt pretty impressive.
Ha, as Chairman ng, I’m truly unrivaled. I haven’t even figured out the basic operations, and I’ve already got two subsidiaries!
It looks like I’m a natural business prodigy. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, Jack Ma, Pony Ma, and Richard Liu would all be defeated by !
For a mont, ng Xu felt like he was truly a talented seed in the business world.
What a pity, the apocalypse ruined my dream of becoming the world’s richest man!
“Do your best, Song Yufan. I believe you will lead this subsidiary under the group to great success.”
ng Xu patted Song Yufan’s shoulder, encouraging him, and then said, “If you do well, I might consider promoting you to the Director of the First Business Group at the headquarters… Alright, enough said. I need to go sell more fried chicken cutlets.”
With that, ng Xu casually walked out the door. Seeing Li Xiang, who was already salivating and restless, ng Xu frowned, tapped Li Xiang’s head with the baseball bat, and said irritably.
“Move, clear the way!”
Under ng Xu’s ‘coercion,’ Li Xiang reluctantly set off, and the snack cart gradually moved further away from the hotpot restaurant, heading deeper into the residential area.
Watching this scene, Song Yufan was initially stunned but quickly realized sothing that sent chills down his spine.
I never introduced myself—how did he know my na is Song Yufan?!
For a mont, Song Yufan felt a cold shiver run through him, leaving him dazed.
anwhile, the server Zhao Jing hadn’t noticed anything amiss and remarked, “I didn’t expect to et such a kind person even in the apocalypse.”
Exchanging food for worthless paper, isn’t that what kindness is?
“Boss, let’s go. Let’s bring the food to the others inside. If we save it, it’ll last us a few more days.”
Compared to the oppressive atmosphere on the second floor of the departnt store, the environnt here felt much more relaxed.
After all, they were aware of the news about the safety zone being established.
Holding out was a way to survive.
