My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

Chapter 61 - This Time, It’s for Collecting Parking Fees



“Peace and Order Group’s first business trip has successfully concluded.

Chairman Meng Xu exceptionally met the objectives of this trip, adding three technical talents and one senior consultant to the company, and creating four employment positions.

Furthermore, adhering to the philosophy of ‘standing on the front lines with employees,’ Chairman Meng Xu chose to personally drive during the latter half of the trip, demonstrating his decade-long expertise in QQ Speed, allowing employees to reunite with their families and explaining the current challenges faced by the company.

It’s reported that Chairman Meng Xu is kind to others, humble, law-abiding, and started his business from scratch at the age of 23…”

“…”

Meng Xu, driving the car, envisioned all this in his mind and nodded in satisfaction, “The first company newsletter should be written like this.”

The company was now quite close, Meng Xu could see that the number of zombies on the surrounding streets had decreased compared to the situation in Qingnan District. However, they have actually increased quite a bit since Meng Xu went out two days ago.

Perhaps zombies from the Tech Innovation Building area were now wandering out.

After all, the Tech Innovation Building was quite isolated, surrounded by greenery and open spaces, with few buildings other than the Tech Innovation Building, nearby accommodations, and shops.

So, the zombies could only have wandered from there.

Zhang Lunping had already fed his daughter the medicine and explained the situation to his wife.

He used plenty of flattering words to describe Meng Xu’s greatness.

This made Meng Xu very happy.

Especially when Zhang Lunping mentioned that Meng Xu’s ‘mental thinking is particularly active, with the spirit of Jack Ma and the style of Pony Ma.

Meng Xu scoffed at this.

Jack Ma and Pony Ma?

One earns money from women’s online shopping, the other from kids’ gaming. Meng Xu holds them in contempt!

Meng Xu aims to earn money from men, women, and children alike.

Hearing such praise from an intern, Meng Xu assured that this employee’s chance of becoming a full-time worker after three months was significantly high.

“Roar!”

A reckless zombie charged at them head-on. Meng Xu stepped on the gas, sending it flying, rolling away, and leaving a streak of blood.

“These zombies have no sense, crashing into my car! Hmph!”

Meng Xu snorted, annoyed, “If I weren’t busy today, I would have stopped to discuss how to compensate for my car’s damage!”

Hearing this, Zhang Lunping in the back seat was accustomed to such talk, while Zhou Yanni’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What?

Go after a zombie?

This…

Zhou Yanni was speechless, unsure of what to say.

But soon, she regained her composure and thought of something.

Wait.

Even if it wasn’t a zombie, but a person.

People get hit by cars, not cars getting hit by people!

Zhou Yanni was momentarily at a loss, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Lunping, already accustomed to such situations, held Zhou Yanni’s hand firmly, giving her a reassuring look as if to silently say, “Better get used to this quickly.”

Zhou Yanni felt a growing anxiety.

She didn’t know how to articulate her feelings or what to expect from this journey.

Meng Xu drove into the underground parking.

The parking looked much the same as when they left, except for a few more bloodstains.

It seemed new zombies had arrived, and more survivors had tragically perished.

Meng Xu felt very saddened by this.

They’d rather die than work for his company.

Was his company that bad? They would rather die than consider applying?

Oh, wait.

The company had just been founded and hadn’t advertised yet, so of course, no one knew how to apply.

Realizing this, Meng Xu parked the car neatly, turned off the engine, and then smiled at the family in the back seat, “We’ve arrived. Get ready to get out!”

As he spoke, a zombie in a suit suddenly lunged at the Mercedes, its grotesque face smashing against the window, cracking it.

“Roar!”

Zhou Yanni shuddered in fear, letting out a scream.

The little girl in Zhang Lunping’s arms, half-asleep, was startled awake by the commotion.

Seeing this, Meng Xu’s expression darkened.

“You’ve got some nerve!”

Grabbing the fire axe from the passenger seat, Meng Xu kicked open the door and leaped out, swinging the axe to cleave the audacious zombie in half. He then glanced around and shouted, “Who else is here? Sneaking around in the underground parking! Have you paid your parking fees? What are you doing here? Don’t think you can get away just because the security guard is on vacation. I’m here to collect the fees!”

His roar disturbed the zombies lurking in the parking lot.

Several shrieks echoed, followed by the sound of rushing footsteps. Meng Xu calmly opened the door from the parking to the ground floor and ushered Zhang Lunping, Zhou Yanni, and their little girl into the stairwell. After ensuring the area was clear, he said, “Wait here for a moment. I’ll go collect the parking fees and be right back.”

“Or you could head up to the fourth floor where my company is… no, wait. Two idiots guard the entrance, going there would just make you their meal. Better wait here.”

With that, Meng Xu handed his trusty wrench to Zhang Lunping, advising him to stay cautious, then strode out with his fire axe.

Time to collect those parking fees!

After Meng Xu left, Zhang Lunping and Zhou Yanni exchanged a concerned glance.

Only after hearing the zombies’ growls and Meng Xu’s chopping sounds did Zhang Lunping take a deep breath and seriously say to Zhou Yanni, “Nian’er, listen to me. Never look at Chairman Meng like that again. Always respect and obey him, understand? Pretend the apocalypse never happened, and we’re just normal company employees. Got it?”

Zhou Yanni, feeling both terrified and absurd about the situation, replied, “Huh? But… isn’t Chairman Meng… a bit crazy…”

“Shut it!” Zhang Lunping quickly covered Zhou Yanni’s mouth, whispering to her, “Don’t ever say that! Chairman Meng is just unusually sharp-minded, not crazy! Even if you and I were crazy, Chairman Meng would never be!”

Zhou Yanni nodded repeatedly, and only then did Zhang Lunping let go of her mouth.

Taking a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly, he explained to Zhou Yanni, “Chairman Meng is very powerful. He might be one of those mutants or enhanced beings that you see in novels or TV shows. It’s just that real-life people may not be exactly like those depicted, they might have some side effects that lead to more active thinking …”

“Luckily, Chairman Meng belongs to the benevolently chaotic type. Being able to protect Qiqi and watch her grow under Chairman Meng’s care is actually a very good choice.”

Zhang Lunping’s voice was laden with weariness, and at this moment, Zhou Yanni noticed her husband’s bloodshot eyes. She could hardly imagine what he had endured outside these past few days.

Zhou Yanni nodded firmly: “Yes!”

“The money?”

“What money?”

“Our savings!”

“…”

Upon hearing Zhang Lunping’s query, Zhou Yanni hurriedly took out her bag, and Zhang Lunping, holding all they owned, the ninety thousand in cash, felt incredibly nervous.

He was about to undertake a significant action!

Soon, the noise outside gradually stopped.

Zhang Lunping strained his ears, heard what seemed to be the sound of pockets being searched, and feeling confident, he handed his daughter to his wife and stepped outside. He approached Meng Xu eagerly, saying, “Chairman Meng, I’m here, ready to help you… ahem… gather the wealth from these zombies!”

Meng Xu glanced at Zhang Lunping, “Mind your words.”

“We’re collecting parking fees here, not sharing wealth!”

“Right, bro, got it,” Zhang Lunping quickly responded.
