No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 312: Zero Start-up Capital



Seeing that the people she had paid leaving all those comments on the screen, she put on a light smile.

She lowered her head and fanned herself. Until she managed to hold back her smile, she then looked up at the camera with a sorrowful look on her face,

“I’m waiting for him to let go of his first love and hold a big wedding for me.”

She didn’t deny her engagement with Gu Zijin, nor did she admit it. Her reaction sent shockwaves to the viewers. Everyone started to question her closely.

Their questions seemed to have pushed Yan Yuxiao’s buttons. She set her mouth in a grim line and then said, “I need to take a nap now. Let’s stop here today. See you next time.”

After saying that, she turned off the live stream and covered the two cameras in the room with cloth bags.

The rumor of her getting a marriage license with Gu Zijin threw an uproar in the Internet. Everyone began to search for the evidence as if they were Sherlock Holmes or Leeuwenhoek.

In the meantime, Yan Yuxiao who was supposed to be sad right now was lying on the bed while chatting with another person on the phone, feeling extremely joyful.

..

In the evening, the other guests in the show also arrived. The director called everyone to the hall to announce the program rules.

“… From tomorrow, we won’t provide any help to you in the next two weeks. You can only obtain the food and start-up capital all by yourselves. Now, please hand in your wallets and all your cash.

“What?!”

“??? How to start a business without any capital?!” Liu Xia, a comedian, got red eyes after being choked by water, but she still asked that.

Yang Xiaoying patted on Liu Xia’s back while looking to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng seemed to know what she would ask. Then he shrugged with his palms up and gave out a wry smile, “Don’t ask me. I know nothing.”

“How can we open a hotel with nothing?”

As everyone was worrying about the money, Yan Yuxiao shook her phone and asked, “Director, can we borrow money from our friends to open the hotel?”

These people all turned to the director with light and expectation in their eyes.

“No.” The director broke their fantasy coldly, “You cannot borrow cash or any other kind of thing. Nor can you buy anything on credit or ask your fans to purchase anything for you.”

Everyone sighed. Even Du Zhong, the cool boy, couldn’t help but frown, not to knowing how to survive.

Qin Muxuan had operated a company before, so she observed more carefully than others and had different thought.

She waited for a while and found others still couldn’t figure out a way. Then she said, “I’ve noticed that they have prepared for the necessities like the quilts and toiletries for us. If we don’t need to provide meals for the customers, the initial investment wouldn’t be too much. As long as we have reservations on the first day, we can solve the problem with the start-up capital then.”

Xiao Heng was enlightened right away and applauded, “That’s right! We can also barter for things with the presents we have brought here!”

Then everyone started to talk about the ways of making money. Meanwhile, Yan Yuxiao glanced at Qin Muxuan with a vicious look in her eyes.

After they turned their money in, the director told them the rest of the rules.

This show was very challenging this time. The whole process would be on live stream during the shooting. On Sunday, the edited version would be broadcasted.

At the same time, the staffs of the show posted an official tweet.

@The Hotel: The hotel which could serve all your purpose was opened. We still start broadcasting on September 5th. The owner and the staffs are already waiting for you here. @Xiao Heng@Qin Xiaobai@Yan Yuxiao@Lin Yun@Yang Xiaoying@Du Zhong@Liu Xia@Qin Xuan Stay tuned

Qin Xiaobai and Yan Yuxiao had played mother and son before. Lin Yun and Yang Xiaoying were a couple. Xian Hang had won two awards for the best actor. Du Zhong was a famous singer. Liu Xia was a comedian. Qin Xuan was a celebrity who always became the hot topic. The whole cast was enough to make the show go viral.

Clearly, the director of the show was planning something big.

After that tweet had been posted, tens of thousands of views began to watch the live stream.

When everyone on the Internet was expecting something to happen, Qin Muxuan and the other guests only wanted to eat-The director had prepared a luxury dinner for them with evil intention. Because they were only allowed to watch and couldn’t eat. At first, they had to play Werewolf Game first. The one who won could decide what kind of things the loser would eat.

“Director, that’s not a good idea. Xiaobai is just a kid.” Liu Xia who was slightly fat beamed all over her face. She itched to play the game but didn’t speak out her true thought, “If this is broadcasted, wouldn’t the audience scold us for bullying a child?”

“They already did.” Qin Xiaobai pointed to the camera, “If they didn’t, they can start now.”

“Are you sure about this? You’ll be stay with us in the next fourteen days.” Liu Xia pretended to be angry and glared at him with squinted eyes.

While they were chatting, the Werewolf Game started.

At first, they suggested to let Qin Muxuan eat with the winner because she had an injury on her right shoulder, but she insisted on joining the game.

To win the Werewolf Game, one must have a high IQ as well as a bunch of reliable teammates. Qin Muxuan had both-her teammates were Qin Xiaobai and Lin Yun.

Lin Yun even tricked his own wife in order to win. He talked her into voting the witch out. The werewolves won.

Liu Xia threw the cards on the table and complained about his cruelty, “How can you set up your own wife in order to win! Lin Yun, you are so cruel!”

“Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry.” Lin Yun begged for mercy and kneaded her wife’s shoulder fawningly, “I’m just afraid that you couldn’t pick the food you like. That’s why I want to win so much. How about you eat all my food?”

“You mean I can not defeat you?” Yang Xiaoying raised her eyebrows.

“Of course not. You are way cleverer than me!”

“Then why are you afraid that Xiaoying will lose?” Xiao Heng couldn’t help but tease Lin Yun.

“Oh God, please stop adding fuel to the fire.” Lin Yun bowed to Xiao Heng with a bitter face and looked to Qin Muxuan and her son, “Qin Xuan, Xiaobai, help me here. Can we give up choosing the food for them?”

As saying this, he kept winking to them, being afraid that they wouldn’t help.

Qin Xiaobai and Qin Muxuan were both amused by him. Then they looked at each other and nodded, “Fine, let’s eat together tonight.”

Liu Xia was a professional comedian and Lin Yun was good at entertaining others. After the meal, they all got familiar with each other.

After they finished eating.

Xiao Heng suddenly sighed with emotion while leaning on the back of the chair, “We still have to look for steady feed from now on. This is the first time I join a show which wouldn’t provide us the food!”

“Which one of you can cook?”

“I know a bit about cooking Chinese and Western food.” Yan Yuxiao smiled and said modestly.

“Me too.” Yang Xiaoying who had been trained by her mother after she had got married chimed in with confidence, “I can cook three or four my specials as well as some normal dishes.”

“I can make omelets. Just tell me how you like them cooked.” Liu Xia said proudly with her chest out.

“Sister Xia, that’s the only thing you can cook, right?” After saying that, Qin Xiaobai dodged Lu Xia’s claws and raised his hand.

As everyone thought that he was able to cook at such a young age, they all looked at him with surprise. However, he suddenly said, “I don’t know how to cook, but I can assist you guys.”

“Hah, how care you make fun of me since you are no better than me!” Liu Xia gave a clout on Qin Xiaobai’s head.

Seeing that the woman and the boy was about to make a scene, Xiao Heng pulled the topic back on track again, “All right, stay focus. Let’s talk about the real business here.”

“Our hotel is going to officially open tomorrow. Let’s talk about our special gifts now so I can make arrangements.” While he was saying that, he took out a notebook and a pen, “We need a chef, a housekeeping staff, a reception personnel, a shop personnel and a cleaner. Since we don’t offer the meals now, the chef can be ruled out… But-”

“We need to eat too.” He turned the pen breezily and chuckled, “Please raise your hand if you can cook.”

Except for Qin Xiaobai and Liu Xia, everyone raised their hands, including Qin Muxuan.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Qin Xuan, you haven’t recovered yet.” Yan Yuxiao looked at Qin Muxuan with her eyebrows knitted, seeming to disprove of the latter’s decision. She blamed Qin Muxuan, “You shouldn’t ask to do the heavy works. We are already fully staffed. You should be a receptionist and do something simple.”

She seemed to be considerate for Qin Muxuan. However, Qin Xiaobai could see the ironical look in Yan Yuxiao’s eyes clearly. With his fists clenched, he wanted to retort her. Then, a hand was put on his fist. The warm and tender feeling pressed his anger down.

Qin Muxuan knew that Yan Yuxiao was sneering at her secretly. She then replied with a calm voice, “When I arrived here, I received a secret mission which required me meet with any legal demands of the customers. Of course I’ll be a receptionist on the front line.”

‘Therefore, the heavy work had nothing to do with me at the first place.’ Qin Muxuan thought.

“I also received that mission.” Qin Xiaobai supported her at once and nodded vigorously, “We can have teams of two. Miss Xuanxuan, let’s stay in the same team.”

“No problem.” The coldness on Qin Muxuan’s face disappeared and she smiled happily.

“Then I’ll buy vegetables with Xiaoxiao!” Lin Yun and his wife looked at each other and chuckled. They didn’t need to separate with each other in this way.

“I haven’t announced the arrangement yet. How can you team yourselves up already? Can’t you show some respect to your owner?” Xiao Heng pretended to be angry and tapped on the table with his finger.

Liu Xia who loved to make a scene cheered, “That’s right. No owner!”

Xiao Heng, “… well, why do your words sound so weird?”

“Puff!” Du Zhong who had stayed silent the whole time couldn’t help laughing. However, as he saw the cold stare from Xiao Heng, he then shut his mouth and turned his head away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Never did he realize that he looked right into the eyes of Qin Xiaobai who was trying hard to hold back his laughter. As they saw each other making weird moves in order not to laugh, they finally burst into laughter.

Others also couldn’t help smiling.

“… I have no authority at all as an owner.” Xiao Hang sighed, “Fine, you can choose your teammate by yourselves.”

After they finished the chatting and laughing, they all got on the serious business.

Because they were all new in this, they decided to rotate through all the positions. Every two days, they would change position. Because Qin Muxuan was an injured person, she would take charge of the custom part alone.

..

On the next day, early in the morning.

Qin Muxuan who was wearing an informal dress and a straw met Qin Xiaobai in the living room. They both dragged or carried a large bag of stuffs out of the house.

Qin Xiaobai followed Qin Muxuan closely while pulling a large suitcase with his little eyebrows winkled tightly. His eyes were filled with hesitation, reluctance and fear for the future.

“Miss Xuanxuan, are we really going to go there?” He raised his head to look at her.

Qin Muxuan didn’t look back, “Do you have the money? Can you cook? Will you eat the food they cook?”

Hearing those sharp questions, Qin Xiaobai was totally defeated.

Then he, who didn’t have no money, no skills to cook and no guts to eat the food others cook followed Qin Muxuan again with frustration.
