Chapter 6: A Continuously Filling Task Progress Bar
"You have an order pending..."
"You have an order pending..."
"You have an order pending..."
The electronic mechanical female voice repeated over and over again on Chen Jianhai's phone.
The low prices, fresh and high-end environment, and boutique limited-time event instantly attracted a large number of customers to the hotel.
In just one hour, Chen Jianhai had already booked out 40 rooms online.
Chen Jianhai's hands trembled with excitement.
The hotel hadn't seen such good business in half a year.
"At this rate, I'll complete the system task before tonight."
Chen Jianhai felt both anxious and happy.
Although there was a large influx of customers, this was a desperate promotional sale, essentially a loss-making business.
It was okay to do this once.
But if he did it every time, he would soon run himself into the ground.
...
"Hello, welcome."
The mechanical female voice at the hotel door sounded.
Guests already?!
Chen Jianhai looked up and saw a young couple holding hands walking in.
The couple was dressed simply, carrying backpacks, clearly students from a nearby school.
As soon as they entered,
their faces showed surprise mixed with a hint of unease.
They didn't expect that the hotel running a big online promotion would actually be a five-star hotel!
Wang Qinlou could feel the small hand he was holding tighten with nervousness.
He had stumbled upon the hotel's boutique limited-time event while searching for papers online, after hearing about it from his roommate.
He looked at the photos, thought the environment seemed nice, and the price was cheap, so he paid immediately.
The reservation was quickly confirmed, and they could check in at any time.
In front of him,
everything about the decor and layout exuded luxury and sophistication,
giving off a "I can't afford this" vibe.
Wang Qinlou felt a twinge of fear and was reluctant to go further inside.
But standing outside wasn't an option either.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Qinlou mustered his courage and walked into the luxurious and artistic lobby.
"Hello, I just booked a standard room online."
Wang Qinlou nervously took out his ID card.
"Two!"
Chen Jianhai mentally checked off two more guests, warmly welcoming them:
"Hello sir, please provide the verification code, and I'll check your information."
Wang Qinlou took out his phone and read a string of numbers.
After verifying the information, Chen Jianhai smiled at the girl:
"Hello ma'am, may I see your ID card as well?"
The girl blushed instantly,
shyly glancing at her boyfriend before quickly taking out her ID card from her bag and placing it on the counter.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Chen Jianhai took the ID card with both hands, quickly checking that both guests were adults before entering their information into the computer.
"Guests, you have chosen the hotel's limited-time boutique event. A standard room is 128 yuan per night, excluding breakfast. Your room number is 403. Enjoy your stay."
Chen Jianhai handed the ID cards and room key to Wang Qinlou.
"Can we check in now?" Wang Qinlou asked shyly.
"Yes, sir." Chen Jianhai responded warmly.
As the hotel owner and front desk service, a warm and friendly attitude is the first key to retaining travelers.
In this regard, Chen Jianhai was a pro!
"Thank you."
Perhaps influenced by Chen Jianhai's service attitude,
Wang Qinlou's nervousness gradually eased, and his expression relaxed.
"Baby, let's go upstairs."
Wang Qinlou turned to hold the girl's hand.
"Can we stay?" the girl asked softly, her voice like a gentle breath.
Wang Qinlou nodded to his girlfriend, showing a "mission accomplished" expression.
Then,
the girl smiled happily, dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth. She pulled her hand back, her white legs quickly running up the stairs.
Standing still, she turned and posed.
"Take a picture of me!"
Her white dress blended with the marble steps, her left hand on her hip, and her right hand's two fingers posed playfully near her eyes. She smiled sweetly at Wang Qinlou:
"Make sure it's beautiful~~~"
...
Instantly, single Chen Boss took a critical hit +1000!
...
With the couple checked in,
slowly,
more and more people began to enter the hotel.
The guest count in Chen Jianhai's mind kept increasing, and the progress bar advanced rapidly.
Most of these people were students from nearby universities who discovered the promotional event online. Seeing such cheap rooms, they naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Plus, they were close to the hotel, arriving quickly.
Some were tourists already vacationing locally.
Most had already checked into other hotels but wanted to experience more hotels within the limited time, especially at such low prices.
They checked in lightly and easily.
As more guests arrived,
the lobby gradually filled with people, all attracted by the hotel's decor and design style.
"This hotel is amazing."
"I've stayed in hotels for years, but this is the first time I've felt like I'm abroad."
"I wonder what kind of glass this hotel uses. Not only does it have excellent light transmission, but it also has a heat-insulating function. It doesn't feel hot or stuffy at all."
In the spacious and bright lobby, more than a dozen guests lazily sat on the sofas, gazing at the sea outside the window, enjoying the sea breeze.
A few children slept soundly on their parents' shoulders.
The hotel's BGM played softly,
neither monotonous nor noisy.
The low murmurs of conversation blended into a quiet and cozy atmosphere.
In a quiet corner of the lobby,
two fashionable and beautiful girls in long dresses sat back-to-back in a bird's nest chair, legs curled up, each holding a thick book, reading intently.
Sunlight shone on their wavy long hair, reflecting a soft and delicate luster.
Against the backdrop of the blue sea and white walls, it created an extremely pleasing picture.
After a while, one of the girls seemed tired from reading.
She yawned lightly, took a small mirror from her bag, touched up her lipstick, and gently leaned her head on her companion's shoulder.
"Tired?" her companion asked.
The girl nodded like a kitten.
"Do you want to go for a walk or go upstairs?" her companion asked.
"Go upstairs," the girl said pitifully. "The bed here is too comfortable; I want to lie down."
"Let's go back to our room."
Her companion closed the book, stood up from the chair, and extended her hand to the girl.
The girl happily took her companion's hand, lifting her skirt as she stood up.
The two intertwined their pinkies, each holding a book, elegantly walking up the stairs in high heels.
They disappeared behind the marble columns.
Wow!
The visual impact!
Chen Boss couldn't help but sneak a few more glances, pretending it was unintentional.
