I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

The entire morning, Chen Jianhai was almost overwhelmed with work.

Initially, he thought that not many people would come to the opening.

After all, he was unfamiliar with Zaomen, and everything was starting from scratch.

As for his friends from Nanjiang like Huang Baichuan, they all had their own busy schedules. Sending an assistant with a congratulatory gift would suffice; they might not personally attend.

But to his surprise, not only did many people from Zaomen show up, but most of his friends from Nanjiang also came.

"Boss Chen, congratulations on your new hotel opening!"

"Congratulations, Boss Chen!!"

"Boss Chen, may your new hotel prosper and bring in wealth!!"

Not only did Huang Baichuan, Xu Badie, Wang Bocai, Qin Li, and several other close hotel owners from Nanjiang City come,

but also many friends he met at the "Nanjiang Boss Dance Training Class,"

and even the director of Blue Sky Travel Agency, where Ning Youyou worked, brought gifts, which truly moved Chen Jianhai.

As for Zaomen, perhaps because everyone knew in advance that Tong Tongsheng was coming, the owners of other hotels also arrived on time with invitations to congratulate him.

For a moment, the entrepreneurs from Nanjiang and Zaomen faced each other, each group quietly speculating.

"Honestly, the people from Nanjiang are quite united. I see quite a few of them here today."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Chen Jianhai to have such a big face, inviting so many people to his opening."

"Hey! Don't underestimate him just because he's from Nanjiang. I heard that when his second hotel opened, the Vice Mayor of Nanjiang personally cut the ribbon."

"Compared to that, this time his status has clearly dropped."

At this point, the group from Zaomen began whispering gossip.

As the saying goes, when women become handsome, men are left with nothing to do.

And when men get into gossip, women have to step aside.

"No matter how impressive Chen Jianhai is, the Vice Mayor of Zaomen won't come to cut the ribbon for him!"

"Exactly!"

"If it were the opening of the neighboring Magic Century Theme Park, then maybe our Vice Mayor would come to cut the ribbon."

Several hotel owners from Zaomen stood to the side, inexplicably filled with a sense of regional pride.

No matter how impressive you are, you're still from Nanjiang. Our Zaomen Mayor won't cut the ribbon for you!

"Hey?"

"Do you think Secretary Tong might cut the ribbon for him today?"

Although Tong Tongsheng was no longer the president of the Zaomen Shell Hotel Industry Association, his influence remained, and everyone still instinctively referred to him as Secretary Tong.

"Hard to say... I see a few influential people from Nanjiang here too. It's hard to predict who will cut the ribbon."

"Just wait and see!"

"With Secretary Tong here, he's definitely the one to cut the ribbon today!"

"No matter how impressive the people from Nanjiang are, they're not from the hotel industry. Secretary Tong is both the leader of Zaomen's hotel industry and a veteran in the field. He's the most suitable to cut the ribbon!"

"I think so too... If it weren't for cutting the ribbon, would Secretary Tong even be here?"

While the invited group from Zaomen calmly analyzed the situation, Chen Jianhai finally met Tong Tongsheng in person.

"Boss Chen, I'm Tong Tongsheng, the owner of Zaomen Misk Grand Hotel!"

"Congratulations on your new hotel opening!!!"

"Thank you, Boss Tong."

Chen Jianhai and Tong Tongsheng shook hands with great enthusiasm.

In that moment, they quickly sized each other up.

When Tong Tongsheng saw Chen Jianhai, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In his view, a young man who could build two hotels in half a year and then buy such a large plot of land in another city to build another hotel,

even if not exceptionally intelligent, should at least be resolute and decisive.

Without these qualities, it would be difficult to have the audacity and capability to expand so aggressively.

But the Chen Jianhai before him was gentle, humble, sincere, and kind. There was no trace of sharpness in his demeanor; instead, he seemed like an ordinary person living a simple life.

He didn't give off any sense of threat but rather exuded a reliable, wise, and unpretentious aura.

This guy... seems alright!

At first glance, Tong Tongsheng had a good impression of Chen Jianhai.

On the other hand, Chen Jianhai's impression of Tong Tongsheng was quite poor.

For no other reason than Su Jie.

Although this was his first meeting with Tong Tongsheng, ever since he learned that this person had set traps for Su Jie, his underlying impression of him had been negative.

But since the guest had come to celebrate his opening,

and you don't hit a smiling person,

Chen Jianhai warmly shook hands with him, then turned his gaze to Liu Qinglu. With a tone of both感慨 and a slight smile, he said:

"Qinglu, thank you for coming today."

"All three of my hotel openings, you've been here every time. Thank you for your support, please come in!!"

Liu Qinglu's expression was complex, and she seemed somewhat dazed as she looked at the massive castle before her.

From the original Langai Hotel to the current Lion Castle Hotel, it seemed she had never missed any of Chen Jianhai's important events.

Thinking of this, Liu Qinglu suddenly smiled and said, "Then, Boss Chen, shouldn't you give me an SVIP membership card?"

Chen Jianhai smiled sheepishly and replied, "You're now an assistant at the best hotel in all of Zaomen. How could you still be interested in my hotel?"

"My card would be an embarrassment, so please come in."

"The ceremony is about to start!"

Liu Qinglu seemed accustomed to being rejected by Chen Jianhai and didn't react much to his words, simply smiling and moving on.

On the other hand, Tong Tongsheng felt quite pleased by the comment and cheerfully followed the hotel staff inside, naturally joining the group from Zaomen and engaging in lively conversation with the people from Nanjiang.

"Boss, it seems like almost everyone has arrived."

Lin Suyang stood nearby, holding the list of invitations, marking off each guest as they arrived.

"The timing is about right; our opening ceremony should start soon."

"Wait a bit longer, there's still one person who hasn't arrived." Chen Jianhai spoke while looking ahead at the road, as if anticipating something.

"One more?" Lin Suyang was puzzled.

He turned around, quietly checked the number of people, and compared it with the invitation list and guest list.

No one's missing!

Not only was no one missing, but there were even some who came uninvited to offer congratulations.

Just as Lin Suyang thought Chen Jianhai had made a mistake and was about to remind him,

suddenly, Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something, and he strode forward to greet it.

"Boss, where are you going?" Lin Suyang hurriedly followed behind.

Chen Jianhai was tall, and when he took large steps, the distance was significant. Lin Suyang had to jog to keep up.

On the parking lane, a silver car pulled over,

and a young man stepped out from the passenger seat, quickly opening the rear door. From the car emerged an elderly man with white hair.

Lin Suyang was stunned. There really was someone else?!

Who is this?!

To have the boss personally run out to greet him?!

As Lin Suyang pondered this, Chen Jianhai had already extended his hand and greeted him warmly:

"Uncle, I knew you'd come!"
