“It’s not that I’m unhappy, but the upper echelons of the alliance held a small meeting about whether to continue sending the mental strength potion to the empire. Two-thirds of the people disagreed with it.” Zhou Ling sighed. “Now that the Wei family has already handed the formula to the Prime Minister, the upper echelons are all watching him. They want to know if he will hand the formula to the other aristocratic families of the five aristocratic families or leave the formula in the hands of the alliance officials.”

“No way. I mean, these people who don’t agree to continue sending potions to the Empire are really bad. They sacrificed the health of so many citizens of the Empire just to do politics?”

Liao Ning’s anger flared up. As someone who had lived through the apocalypse, she despised leaders who disregarded the value of human lives. She recalled how the decision to prioritize survival by abandoning most survivors had led to the destruction of the safety base she had sought refuge in, as they lacked the manpower to construct adequate fortifications before the massive onslaught of zombies arrived.

Zhou Ling suddenly felt an intense aura of anger emanating from Liao Ning beside him. He grew flustered, questioning if he had said something to upset his girlfriend.

“Ningning… are you alright? I’m a bit anxious!” Zhou Ling cautiously reached out and touched Liao Ning’s arm.

The touch on her arm helped Liao Ning regain composure. She reminded herself that the past was behind her, and she no longer needed to dwell on it.

Liao Ning smiled at Zhou Ling, trying to reassure him. “I’m fine. It’s just that some unpleasant memories resurfaced.”

Zhou Ling remained worried, as Liao Ning’s previous display of anger had been quite unsettling. It was evident that she wasn’t truly fine.

“Ningning, you can always confide in me if something is bothering you. I’m your boyfriend, and I’m here to support you. Don’t burden yourself with everything,” Zhou Ling said, genuinely concerned.

Liao Ning pondered for a moment and acknowledged that he was right. Rather than insisting that she was fine, she opened up to him. “I’m angry.”

As expected, he had correctly sensed her anger. She was grateful that he hadn’t allowed her to suppress her emotions all day long.

“In that case, would you like to share the reason for your anger? Maybe we can find a solution together,” Zhou Ling suggested, offering his support.

Liao Ning’s smile widened. “You’re right. There really is.”

Zhou Ling maintained his smile, eager to hear Liao Ning’s next words.

“Since they want to exploit the mental strength potion to profit and gain public favor, I won’t let them have their way. I’m determined to work hard and open the hotel as soon as possible, and then expand by opening more branches!”

Liao Ning exuded a fierce determination, refusing to yield to those with ill intentions.

Zhou Ling chuckled affectionately, gazing at her with adoration. “How can I assist you in this endeavor?”

Liao Ning pondered seriously before responding, “Help me with publicity once it’s open!”

“Absolutely. Leave it to me. I promise to meet your expectations.”

“Really? I’ll hold you to that.”

True to her word, Liao Ning arrived at the hotel early the next morning.

Lin Wan, who had come to work, was surprised to see Liao Ning entering the office.

“Liao Ning, why are you here? Is something urgent?”

Liao Ning sensed Lin Wan’s surprise and quickly understood. “I felt a sudden urge to work hard yesterday, so I decided to come to the hotel today and lend a hand!”

“There’s no need for you to help here. Why don’t you go to the kitchen and teach the apprentices with Yu Ni?” Lin Wan suggested.

Liao Ning considered the suggestion and found it reasonable. While she might not be able to assist with paperwork, she could contribute in the kitchen by guiding the apprentices in creating delicious dishes. With that in mind, Liao Ning thanked Lin Wan and made her way downstairs to the hotel kitchen.

Yu Ni had assigned the apprentices the task of preparing their signature delicacies for the day. Each of the ten apprentices would make their specialty dish, and then everyone would have a chance to taste them.

“It looks like we’re having lunch today!”

Liao Ning’s sudden remark startled Yu Ni, who had her back turned.

Startled, Yu Ni exclaimed, “You scared me half to death! How do you manage to walk so quietly?!”

“I just wanted to surprise you!” Liao Ning pleaded playfully, flashing a smile. “I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry, dear Yu Ni!”

“Why are you here so early today?”

“I want to work hard.” Liao Ning pumped her fist enthusiastically. “I’m determined to open hotel branches across the entire interstellar space as soon as possible! ”

Yu Ni applauded Liao Ning with a stoic expression. “How motivating. But does that mean my workload will increase? I might need to negotiate a higher salary.”

Liao Ning raised an eyebrow. “Is there anything else you desire aside from a salary raise?”

“No, there’s no reason for me to leave this job.” Yu Ni’s reply was resolute..
