Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1332: Instructor Xu
Chapter 1332: Instructor Xu
Zhang Yi didn't need to announce his arrival and went straight to Zhu Zheng's office.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the corridor was already lined with people, all staff from the command center, standing in two rows, eagerly bowing to greet Zhang Yi and Fatty Xu.
"Hello, Captain Chaos! Hello, Marshal Tianpeng!"
Each of them wore beaming smiles. Since there were quite a few female staff members, the atmosphere looked a bit odd.
Fatty Xu whispered, "Holy cow, if I didn't know better, I'd think we walked into a Golden Romance Club!"
Lan Xincheng came scurrying up to Zhang Yi. "Oh my, hello, Captain! Hello, Marshal Tianpeng! You two are rare guests indeed. To what do we owe this honor? Any guidance for us?"
This once aloof and lofty figure from the upper echelons of the Jiangnan Region was now nodding and bowing obsequiously before Zhang Yi, full of flattery.
Turns out he wasn't incapable of smiling; he just hadn't met the right person to smile for.
Zhang Yi said, "I need to see Commander Zhu about something.""Commander Zhu already knows you're here. He's waiting in his office!"
Lan Xincheng eagerly led the way, taking Zhang Yi to Zhu Zheng's office.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Zhu Zheng immediately rose from the sofa and walked over to shake Zhang Yi's hand.
"My precious Captain, it's been ages since you last came to Blizzard City! What's the matter, do you need supplies? Just say the word for something like that, haha!"
Zhu Zheng's face was beaming with delight.
Ever since Zhang Yi gave him a 7% share of the elemental ore, Blizzard City's energy shortage problem had been nicely resolved.
In fact, from this point on, Blizzard City even allowed young couples to have healthy children.
They had already solved the basic survival issues for Blizzard City's population of several million. The next step was reproduction and continuation, to ensure the civilization endured.
Zhang Yi smiled. "I don't have any particular needs coming here. It's just that there's something I need your help with!"
Zhu Zheng asked curiously, "A problem you can't solve, and you need my help?"
Zhang Yi gave a faint smile and said to him, "I hope you can immediately gather all the highest-quality software-hardening engineers from every district in Blizzard City. I... uh, my buddy needs them."
He patted Fatty Xu beside him.
He almost said he needed them himself, but he was a man who cared about his reputation, so it was more appropriate to use Fatty Xu as the scapegoat.
Zhu Zheng looked suspiciously at Zhang Yi, then at the innocent scapegoat Fatty Xu, and chuckled.
"I thought it was something major! This is simple."
He immediately called Lan Xincheng and instructed him to notify all service institutions in Blizzard City to gather the city's most outstanding batch of technical professionals together.
He didn't ask Zhang Yi what he planned to do.
But he understood that Zhang Yi wasn't just suddenly overcome with lust and coming here for entertainment.
If Zhang Yi was using him for something like this, it must have an important purpose.
Meanwhile, Fatty Xu was still in a state of utter confusion.
He couldn't believe that Zhang Yi had actually called him to Blizzard City to find ladies... ladies.
Over on Lan Xincheng's end, one phone call later, and soon all the managers of Blizzard City's high-end establishments received the message and immediately sent people to Zhang Yi's villa in Blizzard City.
Zhang Yi didn't waste any time either, taking Fatty Xu and heading straight there.
"Boss, can I ask, what exactly are you planning to do by bringing me here this time?"
Fatty Xu asked quietly.
Zhang Yi glanced at him. "To utilize your area of expertise. Later, pick out for me the woman you think is the most seductive and enchanting, the most delicate and charming, the one most capable of stirring a young man's heart."
He emphasized again, "Remember, I'm not asking about your personal preferences. After all, what you're into isn't necessarily what everyone likes. I'm talking about the kind of woman a normal young man couldn't resist."
Fatty Xu immediately jumped up. "Boss, you have to be fair! Yangyang and I are completely innocent!"
Zhang Yi: "Heh."
Ignoring how Fatty Xu was angrily pulling his hair and stamping his feet, Zhang Yi took him to the villa Blizzard City had provided for him.
Lan Xincheng's efficiency was high.
His operational authority in Blizzard City could sometimes be described as second only to one person and above ten thousand others.
Before long, car after car quickly stopped at the villa's entrance.
Lan Xincheng walked into the villa and asked respectfully, "Mr. Chaos, the people have arrived. More are on the way. Should I have them come in for you to see? Or should we keep them all?"
Zhang Yi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "First, have the girls come in for a look!"
Fatty Xu's expression was very serious at this moment. He actually silently pulled out a pair of black-framed glasses from his clothes and put them on, and even produced a pen and notebook from who knows where.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Yi asked.
Fatty Xu seriously adjusted his glasses. "Grading them, of course! The task you assigned, Boss, I have to do it properly."
After all, the occasions where he could actually be useful were few and far between.
Soon, Lan Xincheng opened the door and called out, "The Beauties' Workshop group, come in first! Line up, all of you line up properly, don't push! Mr. Chaos will see each of you one by one! Those few from the Fantasy Sound Workshop, if you cut in line again, I'll have your license revoked!"
When the city's major institutions heard that Zhang Yi was here to pick someone, they immediately excitedly brought all their prettiest girls.
After all, whoever could gain Zhang Yi's favor would be taking a meteoric rise!
Even the institutions behind them would receive blessings, and their status in Blizzard City would become extraordinary in the future.
Soon, a flock of chattering, colorful girls walked into the villa's living room.
It was minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius outside, yet they were wearing thin clothes, their lips turning blue from the cold.
One could imagine how desperate they were.
Fortunately, the indoor temperature was very high, otherwise, if they'd held on for another minute, they'd either freeze to death or become paralyzed.
Zhang Yi hadn't had contact with them before. At just a glance, he couldn't tell too much.
What he needed wasn't just women with pretty faces and good figures, but also the kind who knew how to seduce and could capture a man's heart.
This was when Fatty Xu's expertise was needed.
He had basically patronized every female technician of note in all of Blizzard City.
Fatty Xu wore an expression of utmost seriousness.
"Zhenzhen won't do, she's the aloof type, more popular with older men; Lili is okay, but she's had plastic surgery, you can tell her features are off if you look closely..."
"Lianlian's chest is too small, Aiai's skin is a bit dark..."
Soon, he finished grading them with a "swish, swish, swish" of his pen on the notebook and directly waved a grand hand at Lan Xincheng. "Next batch!"
The faces of this batch of girls were full of regret, but they obediently left through the side door.
Lan Xincheng immediately arranged for a new batch of people to come in.
Fatty Xu stared with serious focus at the girls' faces, chests, and legs. Remarkably, his face showed no trace of lecherous desire. Instead, he was like a judge at an international supermodel competition, offering serious, earnest commentary.
After all the girls had been reviewed, Fatty Xu circled the few with the highest scores from several pages of notes and had Lan Xincheng call them over.
"That was just the preliminary selection. Now begins the official competition."
Fatty Xu said with a serious face. Even Lan Xincheng, taking the notebook, felt a bit awkward, thinking to himself, *You're quite the professional in this area, huh.*
