Chapter 14: She's a Virgo, You Know...
Before Chen Jianhai could react, the crisp voice sounded again:
"Ding!"
"The Luxury Hotel Star Upgrade System has activated host privileges: All employees in the host's hotel will receive a 0.1% professional buff for each day they work."
"When a chef is cooking, the host has a 1% chance of receiving a culinary-related reward."
Seeing this, Chen Jianhai was instantly excited.
Employees get a 0.1% professional buff every day?
In 10 days, that's 1%, in 100 days, it's 10%, and after 1000 days, it's a 100% leap in professional skills!
Doesn't that mean his employees can improve their skills every day?
Hiring a kitchen assistant now means they could become a knife master in three years!
If he signs a ten-year contract, producing a knife saint or knife emperor isn't impossible!
I don't even have to spend on training fees!
The system is truly amazing!
"Hello, are you a staff member? We're here to apply for the room service positions."
Just as Chen Jianhai was envisioning the future and preparing to create a hotel legend,
a cheerful and clear voice interrupted his thoughts.
Chen Jianhai looked up,
and saw four stylishly dressed girls, carrying bags, standing at the hotel entrance with curious and expectant expressions.
"Biscuit?"
Chen Jianhai tentatively asked.
The people he contacted last night had all reported for duty today, except for "Biscuit."
Bai Cheng's eyes lit up, nodding vigorously like a pecking chick.
"Yes, I'm Bai Cheng. These three are my roommates, and we're here for the job interview."
"Welcome, welcome. Let's go inside and talk," Chen Jianhai said enthusiastically.
Entering the hotel lobby, the four girls' eyes lit up instantly!
This place is so grand!
The carvings on the lobby columns didn't look machine-pressed at all,
but rather like they were hand-carved!
Bai Cheng even noticed some subtle and indistinct carving marks on the goddess statue's hair, as if the sculptor had etched initial drafts while conceptualizing the figure.
Behind the modern and stylishly designed service lobby stood two beautiful receptionists.
The hotel's cleaners were diligently mopping the floor, making it shine.
Looking around, the hotel was filled with young people in their twenties, exuding a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
Bai Cheng turned her head to look at the service area beside the lobby.
She was even more astonished!
The lounge area, coffee area, cold drink area, and arcade area were all reasonably and prominently distributed in different locations.
It didn't seem cluttered at all,
but perfectly blended with the overall atmosphere of the lobby,
leaving plenty of space for people to rest and walk without disturbing each other.
Next to a large floor-to-ceiling window was a row of lush, green rare plants.
A dark-skinned young man wearing a hat was standing on a ladder, trimming the branches.
The white porcelain spiral staircase ascended gracefully,
just like the long staircase where princesses and heroines slowly descend in TV dramas.
Blue sky, white walls, and the ocean...
All the beautiful scenes the girls had imagined in their minds were now right before their eyes.
Bai Cheng felt like she had stepped into a fairy tale world.
Beautifully unreal.
Her roommates were also wide-eyed,
mesmerized by the hotel.
The girl who had previously doubted Langai Hotel now remained silent.
"Such grandeur, I wonder who the owner is."
Bai Cheng whispered in admiration.
Chen Jianhai subtly raised his chin, a pleased and comfortable expression on his face.
Who doesn't like being appreciated and praised by pretty girls!
Just as Chen Jianhai was about to reveal his identity with a couple of coughs,
Bai Cheng spoke with a hint of admiration:
"Someone with such taste and financial backing to renovate this lobby must be a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s!"
Chen Jianhai: ???
He stared at Bai Cheng in shock,
only to see her seriously and logically deduce:
"Only someone of that age, tempered by years of experience and social refinement, could have such vision,
creating such a perfect hotel!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too!"
Hearing Bai Cheng speak, her roommates started chirping like little sparrows.
"If he were older, he would be too sentimental to let go of old employees."
"He definitely wouldn't hire so many young people."
"Yes, yes, I think so too!"
...
The more Chen Jianhai listened, the darker his face became, silently leading the way.
The four girls kept chirping behind him.
Fortunately, they were very polite and spoke softly, not wanting to disturb the quiet atmosphere of the lobby.
"Beep!"
Chen Jianhai took out an electronic card and opened a room door.
The bed inside showed signs of previous occupancy, and the floor and table were somewhat messy.
"Room service directly faces guests, so I need to assess your room service skills."
Chen Jianhai said, "Consider this a practical exam."
"I want to see the quality and speed of your room cleaning."
Hearing this, the girls were not worried at all; they were actually excited!
"I'll go first!"
Bai Cheng said, handing her bag to her roommate, then swiftly picked up a small cloth, tied her hair, and began cleaning skillfully.
One of their mandatory courses in school was room service.
Only through systematic learning and hands-on practice could they improve their professional skills and provide better service to guests.
They had gone through similar practical exams hundreds of times from school till now.
The scoring points were ingrained in their minds, and they were very proficient.
Lint, dust, water stains, paper scraps... all cleaned up.
Stains, hair, debris, even the deepest, most hidden dust in the corners were thoroughly cleaned by Bai Cheng with a cloth wrapped around her finger.
The electric kettle, teacups, bathtub, and washbasin were all cleaned and disinfected!
The entire process was methodical and orderly.
"Very diligent, not afraid of dirt or hard work."
"This little girl is doing quite well."
Chen Jianhai mentally scored Bai Cheng.
Although from a professional cleaner's perspective,
Bai Cheng missed many details and overlooked several areas,
as a hotel room service employee, her basic skills were solid.
Bai Cheng's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and she was getting more and more into it!
She seemed to have forgotten this was an exam, fully immersed in cleaning the room,
...
This window handle isn't vertically down... straighten it!
The male celebrity on the drink package on the table isn't looking in the same direction... fix it!
The remote control's infrared end isn't facing the TV... adjust it!
The teacup handles aren't aligned on the same level, not symmetrical... align them!
What's with these four people at the door?!
One man and three women, not symmetrical, not orderly... arrange them!
"You stand here!"
"You, stand there!"
"You, don't move!"
After arranging the one man and three women in the room by height,
Bai Cheng finally felt comfortable, turned back, bent down to take out a bottle of white vinegar from the storage cabinet, poured it into the kettle, and started disinfecting it.
...
"What's with this girl?!"
Seeing Chen Jianhai's shocked expression,
one of the girls tiptoed and whispered to him:
"She's a Virgo, you know..."
