Chapter 33: Cute, I Don’t Want You to Sit
Chapter 33
When Gu Mingyu noticed the direction Xu Shi was indicating, he was momentarily stunned, and then his gaze fell upon Gu Wanyin.
He knew the hotel owner was a young woman, but he hadn't expected it to be this seemingly delicate girl. Admittedly, she was exceptionally beautiful, but she didn't appear to possess any special abilities. How had she managed to run such a large hotel, with so many resources, and establish such strict rules?
Gu Wanyin sensed Gu Mingyu staring at her and frowned slightly. She strongly disliked people staring at her for no apparent reason. So she ignored Gu Mingyu and turned to go back to her room.
Just then, Gu Mingyu suddenly called out to her.
"Boss, wait a moment."
Gu Mingyu said, walking directly up to Gu Wanyin and flashing what he considered to be a charming smile. "I've just arrived at this hotel and I'm not very familiar with it. Would you mind showing me around? Please?"
Gu Wanyin: "?"
Can't he speak normally? Why is he smiling so stupidly?
She couldn't be bothered to deal with this man and gave Xu Shi a look.
Xu Shi immediately said, "Guest, if you have any questions, you can just ask me."
With so many guests, everyone was confused when they first arrived, and they all knew to ask the staff for information. Now, even though he was right here, this man still insisted on asking the boss.
Was he looking down on him?
"I..."
Before Gu Mingyu could say anything more, Gu Wanyin had already walked past him and left.
Gu Mingyu's eyes darkened slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
He prided himself on his good looks, having been considered one of the campus heartthrobs before the apocalypse. He had always had many girls chasing after him, and when he spoke to girls, they would easily blush and stammer.
Even An Cairou used to get shy when talking to him! If it weren't for his older brother, An Cairou would have been with him...
But now, the owner of this hotel had completely ignored him?
Could it be that since the apocalypse, his charm had diminished?
Impossible! There were still plenty of girls in the base who liked him...
A cold smile tugged at Gu Mingyu's lips.
This hotel owner was quite interesting. He was determined to uncover her secrets, then capture her heart, making her willingly hand over the hotel and all its resources to him!
By then, Sister Rou would surely be full of praise for him!
...
That evening, Gu Wanyin was eating dinner in the cafeteria with Cola.
Cola was eating with great relish. After these days of proper nourishment, their faces had gained a bit of flesh, no longer as gaunt as before.
The same was true for Gu Wanyin; she felt she had put on some weight.
But for her now, gaining weight was normal.
After all, when she had first transmigrated here, this body had been far too thin...
Just then, a figure suddenly approached their table, placing two plates of food across from them.
Gu Wanyin looked up to see it was the new male guest from earlier who had smiled so foolishly.
"Miss Gu," Gu Mingyu smiled at her again, "May I sit here?"
Since arriving, he hadn't been idle. He had asked around and learned that the owner's surname was Gu.
They shared the same surname, which gave him another excuse to get close to her.
Gu Wanyin looked around.
Although there were more guests now, the cafeteria was large, and not everyone came to eat here, so there were still many empty seats.
Why did this man insist on sitting at her table?
Before she could speak, Cola had already asked, "Mister, there are so many other seats, why do you want to sit with us?"
"Because I think you two are very cute," Gu Mingyu said with a smile.
Cola pondered for a moment, then said, "Well, this cute person doesn't want you to sit here. Could you please sit somewhere else?"
Gu Mingyu: "..."
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She had never realized before that Cola could be such a little savage.
Fortunately, at that moment, she saw Zhuang Xiaoxia walking in and said, "This seat is taken."
Having been told this, Gu Mingyu had no choice but to leave with his food, feeling even more frustrated.
He refused to give up!
Zhuang Xiaoxia came over with a plate of egg fried rice, glanced at Gu Mingyu, then said to Gu Wanyin, "Little sis, you need to be careful of that guy."
"Why?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"This afternoon, I saw him constantly asking around about you," Zhuang Xiaoxia said. "I think he has ulterior motives!"
"That's what I thought too!" Cola said indignantly. "That's why I didn't want him to sit with us!"
Gu Wanyin rubbed her chin, deep in thought.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Xiaoxia looked at her worriedly. "You haven't actually been attracted to him, have you? He is quite handsome... But you can't let that face deceive you so easily! Just like Miss Bai, who was fooled by that scumbag Wei Fenghua for so long!"
Gu Wanyin snapped back to reality and laughed, "Don't worry, I have no interest in finding a man."
Even if she did, she certainly wouldn't choose someone who smiled so stupidly!
Moreover, if what Zhuang Xiaoxia said was true... she also suspected that man had come with a purpose.
Gu Wanyin thought for a while longer, then suddenly smiled.
After all, she was in charge of this hotel. If that man really had ill intentions, she could just have the system throw him out.
Before that, she could let him contribute some more points to the system.
Her precious system would surely be happy about that.
A moment later, Fu Siheng also arrived.
He had only casually glanced around the cafeteria, but when he saw Gu Mingyu, he suddenly paused, then frowned.
...
Late at night.
It was Fang Yang's shift now.
Although few guests came at night, and the hotel was now fully booked, he didn't slack off, dutifully sitting at the front desk.
What if a guest encountered a problem and came to find him?
He had to be a competent staff member, not to be outdone by that Xu Shi!
Just then, he suddenly noticed someone approaching.
He turned to look and saw it was the new guest, Gu Mingyu, who had arrived earlier that day.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Fang Yang asked.
"Nothing much, I just couldn't sleep and decided to take a walk," Gu Mingyu smiled. "It's so late, and you're still working overtime?"
Fang Yang shrugged and said, "It's not overtime, I'm the night shift receptionist."
"I see," Gu Mingyu nodded. "But I really never imagined someone could run a hotel in the apocalypse. I heard that there used to be a large shopping mall here at Starry River Square. How did it become a hotel? How did your boss manage to build it during the apocalypse?"
"I don't know," Fang Yang said. "When I arrived, this hotel already existed. But... why are you asking so many questions?"
