My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

Meng Xu brought Shen Zhaozhao back to the fourth floor.

He sat on the sofa in the break room, pondering the next steps.

Company name…

“Let’s call it Peace and Order.”

Meng Xu thought for a moment and decided on the company’s name.

The former represents his longing for peaceful days, and the latter reflects the meaning of his name.

【Naming successful.】

A simple line of text appeared, and Meng Xu felt a sense of accomplishment.

He couldn’t help but stand up, once again drawing back the long-closed curtains to let the sunlight in.

“As the saying goes, ‘Early in life, one already knows the world’s hardships.’ I never imagined that I, Meng Xu, would have my own business before even graduating, in the first week of my internship. Truly, a life of success.”

Meng Xu stood by the window, gazing at the chaotic streets filled with wandering zombies, feeling that the world before him had already changed.

Although starting a company in the apocalypse seemed abstract,

Who wouldn’t want to be a boss?

Such a wonderful start! Please applaud me!

Meanwhile, Shen Zhaozhao sat nervously, not daring to speak.

She still had no idea what had happened.

“Hungry? There are instant noodles over there; eat as much as you like.”

Coming back to his senses, Meng Xu glanced at Shen Zhaozhao and casually pointed to his stockpiled supplies, saying indifferently, “They’re just worthless things anyway.”

For Meng Xu, food and water, the biggest crises in the apocalypse, were not an issue.

Because he could exchange points for them.

Although he wasn’t sure what else points could be used for aside from drawing prizes, being able to exchange them for food was already a baseline reward.

He could even use cash to draw for food.

Hearing Meng Xu’s voice, Shen Zhaozhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She timidly picked up a bowl of Kangshuaifu instant noodles and, without even soaking them, started gnawing on the noodle cake, wolfing it down as if she hadn’t eaten in a long time.

Meng Xu watched her with a kind expression, then asked with concern, “What’s your educational background?”

“Gra-graduate.” Shen Zhaozhao responded cautiously, still devouring her food, “Master’s in Chinese Language and Literature.”

“Graduate, huh.”

Meng Xu rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment before saying, “I’ll pay you 20,000 a month. Don’t ask why; just know that I love being honest.”

Shen Zhaozhao didn’t dare to speak.

Although she didn’t know what use the salary would have, she figured she might as well take the high pay of 20,000 yuan.

She had come to understand.

Although her boss seemed… Well, let’s just say mentally very spirited.

His logic was consistent, and as long as she didn’t break certain rules, nothing should go wrong.

Working under this boss was better than starving to death in a bathroom.

Plus, this boss was quite impressive.

It seemed that even a handful of zombies couldn’t get close to him.

“Very well, I now appoint you as the clerk of this company. Later, use the computer over there to print out a labor dispatch contract. Say that our ‘Peace and Order Group’ has signed an agreement with ‘Jianglin Technology Co., Ltd.’ and now you’re going to work for Jianglin Technology. Got it?” Meng Xu nodded at Shen Zhaozhao.

“Your usual tasks will be creating spreadsheets and such.”

Jianglin Technology was the company where Meng Xu had previously worked.

The reason for this arrangement was that it was Meng Xu’s original job.

He earned 1,000 yuan a day just for showing up to work.

Occasionally, he could even gain career experience.

Now that he has recruited a new employee…

Ahem, now that he had recruited Shen Zhaozhao, of course, he wanted her to take over his job and accumulate experience for him.

Shen Zhaozhao: ?

In the apocalypse, what’s the point of creating spreadsheets?

Shen Zhaozhao was full of doubts, but she didn’t dare to question him, obediently nodding instead.

“Alright, those two outside are your colleagues. The half-faced one is called Chi Wei, and the deformed-head one is Zhang Tao. Chi Wei used to be the secretary to the board at Chixing Moving Company, and Zhang Tao was a manager at Jianglin Technology. They both felt that their previous companies had no future, so they joined our ‘Peace and Order Group’ and are likely acting as… security guards now. I have them guarding the door, so you can just focus on your work.”

Meng Xu pointed to the hallway where Chi Wei and Zhang Tao stood and said to Shen Zhaozhao, “The security guards are not very friendly. I suggest you don’t talk to them for too long or try to get on their good side. Got it?”

“If you get eaten by your colleagues, don’t expect me to handle it. Maybe I’ll just help you file a labor arbitration lawsuit to severely reprimand them.”

Shen Zhaozhao: ??

Zombies?

Security Department?

For a moment, Shen Zhaozhao felt as if she were in a dream. She deeply suspected she had already starved to death in the restroom and that everything she was experiencing now was a hallucination before death.

Otherwise, she couldn’t explain the absurdity of her current situation.

“Why are you standing there in a daze? Get to work. This workstation was originally mine. Now, being generous, I’m giving it to you. I hope you work hard and strive to become the first manager of this company.”

Meng Xu’s voice brought Shen Zhaozhao back to reality. She quickly gulped down the remainder of her instant noodles and hesitantly approached the computer. Taking a deep breath, she began to input data into the prepared spreadsheet.

She didn’t know why she needed to work, but she figured she’d just do it.

【Working.】

Seeing these words appear in front of him, Meng Xu felt very satisfied.

Excellent.

Meng Xu nodded and then headed towards the door.

“You stay here and work. I’ll be heading out for a bit.”

Hearing Meng Xu’s words, Shen Zhaozhao was taken aback, then looked at him with hopeful eyes.

“Bo…boss, are you going out? Do you need me to accompany you?”

She genuinely hoped Meng Xu would take her to a safe haven—an absolutely secure shelter.

Though the Kechuang Building felt temporarily safe, it still made Shen Zhaozhao anxious.

Hearing her words, Meng Xu was a bit surprised. He turned to her and said, “I need to go to the Bureau of Commerce and the bank to handle some procedures. Our company is legitimate and needs complete documentation. We can’t always operate like a rogue company.”

“Do you want to come with me?”

Hearing Meng Xu’s words, a question mark appeared over Shen Zhaozhao’s head.

Her silence was deafening.

She had no idea what to say.

It’s the apocalypse, boss.

Regardless, you still want to go to the Bureau of Commerce to handle procedures?

Shen Zhaozhao was at a loss for words.

Meng Xu, adjusting his attire, casually said, “There are some clothes I’ve changed out of in the restroom. Wash them for me when you get a chance. I should be able to handle everything within a week. There may be a highly skilled individual joining us soon. If they arrive, make sure to welcome them. And a special note: don’t let our two colleagues from the security department get killed by them, alright?”

Meng Xu still had his eyes on the high-level talent he drew from the cash lottery—a bodyguard.

Must be a very skilled fighter.

Meng Xu felt he had hit the jackpot this time.

In such an environment, having a high-level bodyguard was exceedingly important!

His business empire was truly flourishing!
