I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

"Who's here?!" 

At the hotel entrance, the employees watched as their boss ran out to greet a guest, and they all curiously stood on tiptoe to see. 

It seemed that, apart from the last time when Chen Jianhai went to the pier to greet Vice Mayor Sui during the opening of the island hotel, the boss had never gone out to personally welcome anyone. 

The commotion at the entrance also caught the attention of the guests inside the hotel. 

"Who is Boss Chen going out to greet?" 

"Everyone from Nanjiang is already here, and all the important people from Zaomen have arrived. Who could have a bigger face than Secretary Tong?" 

"This young boss… doesn't know how to prioritize!" 

"Exactly, he can't tell who's important and who's not~~" 

The Zaomen gossip squad chatted happily behind the scenes, munching on sunflower seeds and whispering their thoughts. 

As they spoke, they naturally shifted the focus of their conversation to Tong Tongsheng, subtly stirring up a little trouble in his mind. 

After all, what harm could there be in stirring up a little drama with just a few words? 

What bad intentions could these old cats possibly have? 

Liu Qinglu sat silently beside them, neither defending Chen Jianhai nor joining their discussion. She simply glanced at her new boss. 

Tong Tongsheng didn't seem to care at all. He was clearly familiar with the old cats' way of doing things, and their words felt like nothing more than an itch to him. 

However, despite this, his gaze still turned curiously toward the entrance, wanting to see what big shot had arrived that could make Chen Jianhai personally go out to greet them.

**At the entrance of Lion Castle Hotel** 

Chen Jianhai looked at the white-haired old man, his joy clearly written all over his face. 

He truly hadn't expected the old man to actually come. 

His eyes subconsciously glanced at the new watch on the old man's wrist, and Chen Jianhai's heart skipped a beat. 

Good heavens… 

An eight-figure watch was casually worn on his wrist like that. 

Didn't he worry about getting robbed on the street?! 

The white-haired old man paused and asked, "What are you looking at?" 

"Uncle, I'm really happy you came today, but I have to criticize you a bit." 

Chen Jianhai pretended to be serious as he spoke. 

The white-haired old man, hearing that he was about to be criticized, showed a half-smiling expression and asked curiously: 

"Criticize me for what?" 

Chen Jianhai teased, "You know it's my new hotel opening today. Couldn't you have at least worn some leather shoes and a shirt?" 

The white-haired old man was wearing an orange T-shirt, white sweatpants, and a pair of black cloth shoes. 

Even Xu Badie and Huang Baichuan had come in formal attire, but this old man looked like he had just come out for a stroll to walk his birds. 

If you didn't know better, you'd think he had just wandered out of some mailroom. 

After saying this, Chen Jianhai glared fiercely at the young man beside the white-haired old man and said: 

"You're with him every day. Couldn't you have bought him some decent clothes?!" 

The young man, hearing this, looked at Chen Jianhai with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you out of your mind?!" 

This old man coming to your hotel's opening ceremony is already a huge win for you, even if he showed up in a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops! 

And here you are complaining about his clothes?! 

"What, is my outfit embarrassing you?" 

The white-haired old man asked, half-amused and half-annoyed. "Should I just leave then?" 

Chen Jianhai's eyelids twitched, and he quickly stopped the old man: "Now that you're here!!!" 

"Come in with me first. After the opening ceremony, I'll give you a few new outfits. I bought some nice ones the other day, and we're about the same size. They'll fit you." 

After saying this, Chen Jianhai didn't give the old man a chance to refuse and directly led him into the hotel. 

Good heavens… I've seen people dig their own graves, but never like this. 

The male assistant was completely dumbfounded by Chen Jianhai's disdainful tone and expression. 

And this is the guy the white-haired old man praised as smart? 

Where's the smartness in this?! 

Behind them, the young man followed with a look of utter disbelief on his face.

**Inside the hotel grounds** 

The Nanjiang faction and the Zaomen faction had split into two groups, each chatting among themselves. 

In fact, there was even a subtle sense of mutual disdain between them. 

The local Zaomen hotel industry looked down on the Nanjiang businesses. 

The Nanjiang industrial groups also looked down on the hotel owners across from them. 

And most importantly, there was really no overlap in their businesses, so there was no natural way for them to connect. 

For people like Xu Badie and Huang Baichuan, if they ever needed a hotel for receptions in Zaomen, they could just go straight to Chen Jianhai. 

There was really no need to bother with the other hotels. 

Just as the two factions were in a state of "you ignore me, and I don't care about you," 

Chen Jianhai walked in leisurely with the white-haired old man. 

"Holy crap!" 

Someone in the crowd exclaimed. 

The others, not knowing what had happened, instinctively turned to look at the entrance. 

But as soon as they looked, 

Tong Tongsheng, Xu Badie, Huang Baichuan, Qin Li, and several other big bosses immediately changed their expressions. 

Without a second thought, they all stood up from their seats and rushed toward the entrance. 

The other smaller bosses, though confused, saw everyone else moving and couldn't stay seated either. They also stood up and followed. 

"What's going on? What happened?" 

Wang Bocai, not understanding the situation, grabbed Qin Li and asked. 

Qin Li gave him a look that screamed "hopeless teammate" and scolded him as he dragged him forward: 

"Can't you stop obsessing over your little fishing grounds in Nanjiang for once?!" 

"Song Zhanyun is here, and you're still sitting here asking what's going on?!" 

---

**Who is Song Zhanyun?** 

Chen Jianhai truly had no idea. 

But the moment the white-haired old man entered the gates, all the big bosses in the garden acted as if they had seen their long-lost father. They all stood up, their faces beaming with enthusiastic smiles as they rushed forward. This genuinely startled him. 

Although he knew they weren't here for him, 

Chen Jianhai still had to put on a proud face and say: 

"Look! Look at how well-connected I am!" 

Hearing this, the young man rolled his eyes hard. 

The white-haired old man laughed heartily and glanced at Chen Jianhai, saying: 

"Young boss, I've got to say, you're really quite something!" 

Chen Jianhai shamelessly took the compliment and added, "Being interesting is one thing, but it's mainly because I'm a bit capable." 

Ugh… 

Lin Suyang couldn't take it anymore. 

As one of Chen Jianhai's earliest employees, he had seen how Chen Jianhai interacted with these big bosses before. 

In the eyes of the employees, 

Chen Jianhai had worked hard from scratch, step by step, to reach a position where he could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with these big bosses and speak to them as equals. 

But if you were to say that Chen Jianhai could now make Xu Badie, Huang Baichuan, and Wang Bocai stand up and greet him, that would be absolutely impossible!! 

Looking up at Chen Jianhai's radiant smile and his proud expression, 

Lin Suyang really wanted to pull on his sleeve and remind him: 

"Boss, just saying, is it possible—and I'm just throwing this out there—that they're not here for you?"
