Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise - Chapter 66: Elementary School Opening

Chapter 66

The school was well-equipped with blackboards, desks, chairs, projectors, and various laboratory equipment.

However, Gu Wanyin had a question: “The school building is so tall with so many classrooms, but there are only about a dozen children in the hotel who need to go to school right now.”

These dozen or so children were of elementary school age, and even if you added those needing to attend middle and high school, there still wouldn’t be that many.

“There will be more and more guests in the hotel in the future,” the system said. “There are still many hotel buildings that haven’t been unlocked yet. Moreover, aren’t there quite a few couples and married people in the hotel? They’ll have children in the future.”

Gu Wanyin understood. So there were still many hotel buildings to come.

And the system seemed to know quite a lot.

After all the products in the supermarket were unlocked, its scale also expanded significantly.

It not only sold various snacks but also had a wide range of sanitary napkins, tissues, towels, pens, notebooks, and so on. The product range was quite complete.

The beauty and skincare store was right next to the shoe store, filled with all kinds of cosmetics and skincare products. Bai Shuwen was absolutely dazzled by the choices.

As for the prices, they were set according to quality, with some costing just a dozen points and others as expensive as several hundred points.

Zhuang Xiaoxia was also browsing the store with Bai Shuwen. She said, “Every time I saw you on TV before, I would marvel at how beautifully your makeup was done! I wanted to try doing my makeup like yours, but I’m so clumsy that every time I tried, I ended up looking like a ghost.”

“Hehe, my makeup has always been pretty good, right? Let me tell you, although I have a professional makeup artist, I design all my looks myself! Would you like me to teach you how to do makeup?”

“Yes, please!”

…

Now that the school had been unlocked, it was time to recruit teachers.

Gu Wanyin did a count: there were about a dozen children who needed elementary school courses, three for junior high, five for senior high, and none for university yet.

This meant that they needed teachers for elementary, junior high, and senior high, and several for each level, given the different subjects.

The system created a room in the school building for interviews.

Inside was a large screen. The guests who had applied would enter one by one, first introducing themselves, then answering questions that appeared on the screen, and finally giving a mock lesson.

The system would judge whether the person was suitable to be a school teacher, and if so, for which grade and subject.

When they learned that they could apply for teaching positions at the school and would receive a salary, many guests were eager to try.

After all, besides the base salary of 500 points, there would also be bonuses.

The bonuses would encourage them to be diligent and responsible, and not to slack off when teaching students.

The first to apply was Fu Sishu.

Actually, when Fu Siheng left, he had tried his best to persuade him to stay, but it was useless.

Fu Siheng was determined to leave, and he couldn’t stop him.

As for himself, although his health had improved a lot, he didn’t have a Supernatural Ability. If he left with Fu Siheng, he wouldn’t be able to protect himself and would only become a burden to Fu Siheng.

So he stayed behind alone.

Although he had made quite a few friends in the hotel, with no family around, he sometimes felt lonely.

Now that the hotel had opened a school, he naturally wanted to apply for a teaching position. After all, before the apocalypse, he had been very passionate about education. Moreover, once he became a teacher, he would be fully focused on his students and wouldn’t have time to think about other things.

Fu Sishu’s application was successful; the system determined that he could teach high school mathematics.

Several more guests applied after him, some passing smoothly, others being rejected.

After interviewing all the applicants, there were still a few subjects in junior and senior high school that no one was qualified to teach. These subjects would have to be put on hold until guests capable of teaching them arrived.

…

Tomorrow would be the first day of elementary school.

Cola and Hamburger would naturally be going to school too.

They should have started with preschool, but the system currently didn’t seem to have the concept of kindergarten or preschool, so they could only start from elementary school. But since the elementary school teachers had passed the system’s interview, they surely knew how to teach.

The two of them now had proper names, but Gu Wanyin was still used to calling them by their nicknames.

However, she had already taught them how to write their formal names and instructed them that when introducing themselves to others, they couldn’t just say they were called Cola and Hamburger. They had to use their formal names.

Cola and Hamburger both indicated that they understood.

Gu Wanyin had also picked out a new set of clothes for each of them.

Currently, the school didn’t have uniforms.

The teachers had discussed it and decided that once there were more students, they would go to the clothing store to choose a set of clothes that was appropriate in both price and style to serve as uniforms.

In the evening, Gu Wanyin let them watch cartoons for a while, then took them to bed early.

After all, they needed to be well-rested for their first day of school tomorrow!

In the morning, after breakfast, Gu Wanyin took Cola and Hamburger to the school building.

Cola and Hamburger had never been to school before, so they were very excited.

They first came to an elementary school classroom on the first floor. The sign on the classroom door read “Elementary School Grade 1 Class 1”.

In fact, this was currently the only elementary school class.

Dou Mei, as the English teacher and homeroom teacher, had already arrived at the classroom early.

The homeroom teacher was also chosen by the system after evaluating each teacher.

When Dou Mei saw Gu Wanyin, she immediately greeted her with a smile: “Good morning, Boss Gu.”

“Good morning,” Gu Wanyin smiled back. “I’m dropping off Gu Zhixian and Gu Zhixu for school.”

Dou Mei had been living in the hotel for a long time and naturally knew that Cola and Hamburger were Gu Wanyin’s younger brother and sister.

“Alright,” Dou Mei nodded. “I’ll register them here. I suppose they don’t need to go to the academic affairs office to swipe their cards first, right?”

“No need,” said Gu Wanyin.

The school in the hotel was somewhat different from those before the apocalypse. There was no compulsory education anymore, and even elementary school required tuition fees.

However, the tuition wasn’t expensive. Elementary school was 200 points per person per semester, junior high school was 350 points per person per semester, and high school was 500 points per person per semester.

This was set by the system, with each semester calculated as four and a half months, two semesters per year, and the remaining time for winter and summer holidays.

So, students coming to register for school had to first go to the academic affairs office to swipe their cards and pay the points.

The system would record the student information, and the school also had an archive room, but as the homeroom teacher, Dou Mei naturally had to register each student herself as well.

After Dou Mei finished registering, Gu Wanyin gave Cola and Hamburger a few more instructions, telling them to behave in class and listen to their teachers. Cola and Hamburger both nodded obediently.

Gu Wanyin knew that the two of them had always been smart and well-behaved, so she wasn’t too worried. After saying goodbye to Dou Mei, she left.
