I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

"What are you talking about!"

Chen Jianhai was displeased.

Am I the kind of person who wouldn't install elevators?!!!

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of elevators!"

Chen Jianhai puffed out his chest with pride, as if he were some great benefactor who had brought prosperity to the people.

Hearing this, the elevator maintenance worker's eyelids twitched in fear, and the toolbox he was carrying almost slipped from his hand.

…

Although the entire Lion Lake Castle appeared massive, its internal layout was quite clear.

Facing the lake was the hotel's main building, which also served as the comprehensive office building.

Entering through the lobby on the first floor, to the right was the hotel's largest restaurant, the Knight's Crest Romantic Palace, and to the left was the fitness area.

The second to fourth floors were employee dormitories for the comprehensive departments.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh floors were office areas, and Chen Jianhai's office as the hotel owner was also located here.

The entire eighth floor was an observation level, with three large hollowed-out corridors leading to different towers and structures of the castle.

To align with the magical theme,

Chen Jianhai had specifically built three independent and massive towers as different themed rooms.

These were the central Astrology Tower, the Mermaid Tower on the left, and the Elf Tower on the right.

The three themed room types were similar to the main building. The first to third floors were tall arched wall passages leading to the hotel's garden, accessible to both employees and guests. The fourth to seventh floors were themed tower areas for employee dormitories and lounges, while the eighth floor was connected to the main building via hollowed-out observation corridors. Only the floors above the eighth were actual guest rooms.

To facilitate management,

and to make it easier for guests to find their rooms at a glance without getting lost in the towers,

each individual themed tower was divided into three internally independent units based on the castle's main load-bearing walls.

Each unit had its own service system and elevator and staircase operation systems,

ensuring guest privacy and safety while allowing them to better and more specifically enjoy the services provided by the hotel.

In addition to the main building and the three main towers,

the Lion Lake Castle also had various towers connected by stone bridges, covered bridges, and viaducts, creating a staggered layout.

For example, on the 19th floor of the Astrology Tower, pushing open a velvet-colored door would lead you across a stone bridge to the hotel's Astronomical Tower.

On the 14th floor of the Mermaid Tower, you could follow a covered bridge to the hotel's Clock Tower.

Between the two towers, on a large lawn, was the central courtyard of the hotel's themed tower area.

Walking out from the central courtyard in the direction of the scales statue, you would find a golden wishing pool.

As for the outer buildings of the castle, these were functional spaces like the linen room, kitchen, and other utility rooms.

For the entire afternoon, the hotel employees flitted around the castle like little butterflies in a flower garden.

They were like explorers unlocking new maps, constantly discovering various teleportation points.

However, apart from the three themed towers, which had a relatively clear layout and were easy to navigate,

the employee areas and other parts of the castle were nothing short of a disaster for the staff.

The castle had too many floors and stone bridges, and the area was vast.

Moreover, some office areas didn't have specific nameplates,

so even with maps and phone navigation, the employees inevitably got lost.

One moment, someone would be standing in the castle's Clock Tower, wanting to walk to the tower's spire ahead.

But after finally finding a stone bridge and entering another tower, they would get disoriented by the stairs and bridges inside.

A few female employees even got lost in the hotel, ending up in some remote corner, nearly scared to tears, and had to call Chen Jianhai to come and rescue them.

"What's so scary about this? There are so many paths, just walk!"

At one end of the castle,

Chen Jianhai, panting, stepped out of the elevator and finally found the trapped employees using his phone's navigation.

Good grief,

these people didn't look tall, but their short legs had carried them all the way to the innermost warehouse of the castle.

Even Chen Jianhai had to walk for a while to get there.

"What were you all thinking!"

"Didn't you see the safety exit signs along the wall?"

"Follow the safety exit signs, walk down this corridor, take a few steps to the left, and you'll find the elevator. Take it down to the first floor, and you'll be in the courtyard."

"How could you get lost?"

Chen Jianhai walked ahead, muttering to himself, sounding like a grumbling, slightly annoyed old father.

"Boss, it's not that we got lost. This path is just too scary."

"We didn't dare to walk…"

One employee, braving the scolding, cautiously spoke up: "It's like a hallway from a horror movie."

Chen Jianhai paused.

Scary?

He took another look at the corridor ahead.

Well… it did seem a bit eerie.

Perhaps due to unstable voltage, the lights here were noticeably dimmer, hanging on the walls like little ghost lamps.

A row of small windows was carved high on the walls, with light streaming through and casting long, thin shadows on the ground.

The shadows flickered ahead,

then flickered behind,

and with so few people coming to this area, the place was eerily quiet and echoey.

If a woman were to walk this path, it would indeed be unsettling.

"I told you all to watch fewer horror movies, but you wouldn't listen!"

Chen Jianhai scolded them impatiently.

But he still took out his phone and played a song called "Good Luck Comes" to lighten the mood.

Then he slowed his pace, allowing the short-legged employees to keep up with him.

He sighed silently to himself:

With such little courage, where did they get the guts to watch horror movies?!

The soundproofing at Langai Hotel was almost top-notch,

but once, when Chen Jianhai was passing through a corridor, he suddenly heard a scream coming from one of the dorm rooms, which sent a chill down his spine.

At the time, he thought something had happened to the employees.

He was about to knock and rush in to help,

but the next moment, Wen Zifan stopped him, explaining that nothing was wrong—it was just a group of girls watching a horror movie together with the lights off.

From then on, Chen Jianhai had a preliminary understanding of the screams of women.

However, even though ghosts weren't as scary as their screams,

this corridor was indeed quite spooky.

Especially the voltage issue—it really needed to be fixed.

As he walked, Chen Jianhai glanced at the surrounding equipment.

Although there were many people in the castle, areas like the warehouse and outer buildings were rarely frequented.

Being so remote, they were practically natural sets for horror movies.

Not to mention walking alone, even two or three people walking together would feel uneasy.

"To be safe, we should install more surveillance cameras."

"Looks like there's a lot to do…"

Chen Jianhai murmured to himself.
