Chapter 56: Jin Churan Brings His Sister Along

Shen Zhigui and his team took the people to meet the B City Safe Base personnel, while Chu Jiangyue brought the little girl and the mother with her child into the office hall of Jianglin Hotel.

“Boss.”

Seeing Chu Jiangyue, Chu Jiangyang greeted her immediately.

Chu Jiangyue nodded in response: “He’s the hotel’s steward. If you have any questions, you can ask him.”

With Chu Jiangyang there, Chu Jiangyue didn’t even bother with the front desk. She just handed people over to him.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhigui and his team found the B City Safe Base personnel stationed at Jianglin Hotel.

Song Chengjun wasn’t present, so the Base’s affairs were currently managed by Deputy Captain of the Patrol Team, Ren Jie.

Seeing Shen Zhigui and his group, Ren Jie was slightly confused.

Everyone in Shen Zhigui’s team had abilities—they were balanced in offense and defense, and one even had a space-type ability.

Their strength was considerable. Song Chengjun had once considered recruiting them into the B City Safe Base patrol team.

Unfortunately, that plan never materialized.

Shen Zhigui and his team didn’t want to be bound; they only wanted freedom to live their lives outside.

The appearance of Jianglin Hotel only strengthened that resolve.

“Mr. Shen? Are you here to look for someone?”

In the Base, reunions between family members were sometimes seen. Perhaps Mr. Shen had come looking for a relative among the Base personnel?

Ren Jie speculated inwardly.

“We’re not looking for anyone. We’re bringing people to you.”

Shen Zhigui moved slightly to reveal the people behind him.

“These individuals attempted to assault a woman with a child. Chu Boss and I witnessed it firsthand.

If Chu Boss hadn’t intervened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Chu Boss didn’t want to see these people go free, so I brought them here for you to handle.

Those who commit mistakes should face punishment. Deputy Captain Ren, what do you think?”

In a post-apocalyptic environment, such matters weren’t inherently severe—it depended on who handled them.

But in this case, Chu Jiangyue was the eyewitness. The B City Safe Base couldn’t dismiss the situation lightly if they didn’t want to offend her.

Hearing Shen Zhigui, Ren Jie’s expression became serious.

He came from Department J, a man of upright principles, and had a natural aversion to those who harmed women and children.

“I understand. I’ll have them escorted back to the Base immediately and will make sure to give you a proper explanation.

As for the mother and child, we’ll try to provide some compensation as well.”

However, the Base’s current situation wasn’t ideal, so the compensation might not be substantial.

Still, something was better than nothing.

Shen Zhigui didn’t hesitate and handed them over to Ren Jie.

He wasn’t overly concerned about the outcome; what mattered was whether Chu Jiangyue was satisfied.

After all, Jianglin Hotel was the B City Safe Base’s grain support—offending it was not an option.

This was one reason Shen Zhigui trusted them to handle it.

Office Hall

Shortly after Chu Jiangyue entered the office hall with the little girl and the mother and child, Jin Churan and five others arrived.

Upon entering, all six greeted Chu Jiangyue.

Even on someone else’s turf, basic courtesy was necessary.

“Hello, welcome.”

With new guests—technically accounted for on her records—Chu Jiangyue treated them politely.

“I was only away a short while, and I didn’t expect the hotel to change so much. Boss Chu, you’re incredible.”

Jin Churan had been approaching Jianglin Hotel and, seeing it fully renovated, couldn’t help but express admiration.

Seeing Chu Jiangyue now, he wanted to convey all his amazement.

Jin Chuyu and the others trailing him wore complex expressions.

“Not bad. You’re probably here to exchange items, right? Just ask Steward Chu.”

Chu Jiangyue gestured toward Chu Jiangyang behind the counter.

“Boss Chu, you hired staff?”

Ling Churan felt regretful. If he had known Boss Chu was recruiting, he would have urged his sister and teammates to hurry so they could catch the recruitment event.

Chu Jiangyue shook her head: “No public hiring. Steward Chu is a robot.”

Nothing to hide here. If building a skyscraper overnight was possible, having a robot as staff was no surprise.

Seeing Chu Jiangyang move naturally, almost indistinguishable from a real person, Jin Churan thought: I may be uneducated, but don’t lie to me.

However, observing Chu Jiangyue’s serious expression, Jin Churan had to believe her.

Jin Chuyu glanced at Chu Jiangyue and quietly completed her item exchange, receiving her identity card.

The others, seeing Jin Chuyu do the same, followed the steps and obtained their identity cards.

“The hotel currently has no rooms available. You can check the restaurant if you want to buy food.

The shelves there have newly stocked temperature-regulating suits. I suggest you take a look.”

Chu Jiangyue gave them a small tip.

Hearing “temperature-regulating suit,” Jin Churan and the others’ eyes lit up—this sounded impressive.

Without asking further, they headed toward the shelves.

With the office hall set up, items from Buildings 1 and 2 were moved here, making service to guests more convenient.

“It really is a temperature-regulating suit. It can handle -100°C to +100°C—a 200°C difference!”

Such a range allowed free outdoor activity without fear of scorching sun.

Jin Churan was thrilled, his gaze toward Chu Jiangyue sparkling.

Boss Chu was incredible—she even managed to acquire high-tech gear like this.

No one knew exactly how she did it.

Jin Chuyu and the others read the suit description and were equally amazed.

“Boss Chu, how many of these suits are available?”

“Hmm? As long as you have enough gold, buy as many as you like.”

After they bought them, she would have funds to restock, so shortages wouldn’t happen.

Even Jin Chuyu thought it incredible—such expensive items with no purchase limit. What a philanthropist, selling such treasures so freely.

Chu Jiangyue didn’t know their thoughts; she only noted that she had another high-value customer today.

“The suits have durability. They need replacement every 2-3 days, or they lose effectiveness.”

Expired suits offered no protection, even if worn.

Seeing their happy faces, Chu Jiangyue reminded them so they wouldn’t suffer unnecessary harm.

“That’s still great—better than nothing.”

Jin Chuyu was practical, not bothered by the durability limit.

The little girl and the mother with her child looked on, uncertain about what to do next.
