I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

In the wine glass, tiny bubbles rose in a continuous stream, as if fish were blowing bubbles.

Drinking it, swallowing it down the throat, it turned into a helpless sigh.

Su Jie stared at the wine glass in front of him, somewhat distracted, then drained the glass in one gulp and said:

"Let's not talk about those unhappy things!"

"How's your hotel preparation going?"

Chen Jianhai's face slightly twisted in bitterness: "Not bad, no major issues, but a lot of small problems. It'll take some time to get used to it."

Speaking of this, Chen Jianhai was slightly worried,

"You know, my hotel is a bit big,"

"There are stairs, turrets, eagle towers, and so on, quite a few. It's easy to get lost going around and around."

"Some of my employees don't have a good sense of direction, and there are still occasional cases of them getting lost, asking me to rescue them."

Su Jie was amused by Chen Jianhai's words.

"Alright, I won't eat your meal for free today. Here's something for you!"

Su Jie took out a small notebook from his briefcase, flipped to a page, then tore it out and handed the piece of paper to Chen Jianhai.

What's this?

Chen Jianhai took it and saw that there was nothing on it, just a simple date written.

"Your new neighbor's opening date, take a look for reference." Su Jie casually said.

Chen Jianhai's eyes immediately lit up,

He had invited Su Jie out today precisely to inquire about this matter, but he didn't expect Su Jie to proactively provide the information.

"I really need this!!"

Su Jie smiled: "I thought it might be helpful to you, so I jotted it down. Didn't expect it to actually be useful."

Chen Jianhai took out his phone and checked the date. The opening time of the Colorful Holiday Resort Hotel was exactly two weeks later, so he still had enough time to prepare.

With the neighboring hotel's opening date confirmed, the official opening date of the Lion Castle Hotel was also set.

Although the time was a bit tight, and no auspicious date was chosen by a master,

But favorable timing and location are ultimately not as good as "harmony among people."

In Chen Jianhai's view, as long as the hotel staff is united and working together for the better development of the hotel, every day is an auspicious day.

The opening invitations flew out like little angels with wings, from Cream Road.

Hotels in Zaomen City, the Shell Industry Association, and even the neighboring Magic Century Theme Park received his invitations, full of sincerity.

And besides Zaomen,

Chen Jianhai did not forget his good friends in Nanjiang,

Huang Baichuan, Xu Badie, Wang Bocai, Qin Li, Cui Meng, Yang Ruying, Gao Qiao, and Director Xiao Sun not only received invitations but also round-trip high-speed train tickets that had been purchased in advance.

As long as they could come, all travel expenses would be covered by the hotel.

After sending out all these invitations, Chen Jianhai took out his phone and found the WeChat of the white-haired old man.

For this hotel opening, there were two people who must be invited, no matter what.

One was the white-haired old man, and the other was Su Jie.

Su Jie, of course, need not be said, treating him like a younger brother, almost spoon-feeding him.

The white-haired old man didn't have much contact with him, but on the principled issue of "Owls and Cranes," he had indeed helped him a great deal.

This must be properly appreciated.

Immediately, Chen Jianhai sent a sincere invitation message via WeChat to the other party.

Initially, Chen Jianhai didn't think the other party would agree, but to his surprise, they actually replied with a message saying they would come if they had time.

This made Chen Jianhai very happy.

In the blink of an eye, the opening day finally arrived!

On the wide and smooth highway, a black car drove steadily and quickly from the city to the suburbs.

"Xiao Liu, you have to admit, the Lion Castle Hotel's invitation is quite interesting, like the New Year cards we bought as kids, all colorful and flashy."

In the back seat of the car, Tong Tongsheng held an invitation, opening and closing it, playing with it happily.

Although already in his 40s,

Tong Tongsheng often exercised and took good care of himself, looking as if he were only 35 or 36, with thick eyebrows and black hair. His eyes, though not large, were bright and full of energy, startlingly vigorous.

Liu Qinglu in the passenger seat nodded, looking at the invitation in Tong Tongsheng's hand through the rearview mirror, and rarely affirmed someone: "Chen Jianhai is indeed a master at making these things."

Tong Tongsheng suddenly laughed: "I heard Chen Jianhai is quite young, but he built two hotels within half a year and was even named Nanjiang City's Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of the Year,"

At this point, Tong Tongsheng asked:

"Such a young and promising boss, why didn't you choose to be his assistant back then?"

Hearing this, a cold light instantly reflected on Liu Qinglu's glasses.

Being rejected by Chen Jianhai was the most humiliating and resentful thing in her life. Having it brought up so openly was like sprinkling salt on her self-esteem.

But since Tong Tongsheng asked, Liu Qinglu still answered: "Our management philosophies didn't align, so we didn't work together."

"Your management philosophy differs from his, and also from mine?"

Suddenly, Tong Tongsheng tilted his head and asked with a smile.

Liu Qinglu was startled.

"I heard that not long ago, you went to the Colorful Holiday Resort Hotel to apply for an assistant position." Tong Tongsheng smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Liu Qinglu felt slightly panicked inside, but on the surface, she remained calm: "Just went to learn a bit, took the opportunity of the interview to see who else was applying, to get an idea."

This explanation was full of holes.

But Tong Tongsheng clearly didn't delve deeper and didn't say anything more.

As if the topic had just come up and then suddenly stopped.

Liu Qinglu couldn't grasp what Tong Tongsheng was thinking and wisely chose not to speak further.

The car drove smoothly and quickly on the road, and in the distance, the towering spire of a castle peeked out from the treetops.

After passing through the tree-lined road,

Next to Cream Road, opposite the subway station, there was a large parking area filled with various vehicles.

At the entrance, hotel employees were running back and forth, helping to park cars and guide guests.

At the hotel's main entrance, a young man in a shirt, full of smiles, stood warmly at the door, shaking hands and greeting each arrival, inviting them into the hotel.

The young man looked about 26 or 27 years old, quite tall, standing out in the crowd, with a friendly and humble smile, not the least bit overbearing, clearly very approachable.

"Is that Chen Jianhai?" Tong Tongsheng's eyes showed interest as he curiously asked.

"Yes." Liu Qinglu looked at Chen Jianhai with complex emotions and answered.

"Interesting!"

Tong Tongsheng watched for a while, then suddenly said this, pushed the car door open, and walked over.
