Chapter 15: I Am the Hotel Owner, Chen Jianhai

The girl's words left Chen Jianhai utterly stunned!!!

This is a natural talent!!

Chen Jianhai was extremely satisfied!

"Cleaning is okay, but the bed-making..."

Chen Jianhai's brow furrowed slightly.

At this moment, Bai Cheng had just washed her hands and was meticulously making the bed.

Every corner was done according to the book and what the teachers had taught:

Positioning the sheets, precise centering, neatly tucking the corners...

The entire bed was perfectly straight and square, without a single wrinkle.

The duvet was folded at the head of the bed to an exact 45 centimeters, the sides hanging evenly from the ground, and the end naturally draping with both corners uniform.

The placement of the two pillows was aligned with the bed's centerline, each corner perfectly in place, plump and firm.

Bai Cheng smoothed out the last wrinkle with her small hand,

took a deep breath, and proudly turned to look at Chen Jianhai.

"Perfect~~" Bai Cheng mentally gave herself a thumbs up.

In school, her room service practice scores were always the highest.

She was quite confident!

Unfortunately, Chen Jianhai was not a school teacher.

Bai Cheng instinctively looked at Chen Jianhai,

only to see him slightly frowning, looking somewhat dissatisfied!

Why?

What did I not do well enough?

"The bed-making actions are not delicate, and the sound of shaking out the sheets and duvet is too loud," Chen Jianhai mentally evaluated.

"The bed is made too stiffly, giving a cold impression."

"The dust stirred up by making the bed falls onto the table, undoing the previous cleaning."

With every step Bai Cheng took, Chen Jianhai had a critique.

"The basics are average, but she can be trained."

Chen Jianhai muttered to himself.

To Bai Cheng, this was more hurtful than being scolded by a teacher.

She pouted slightly, wanting to retort but fearing she would anger Chen Jianhai and lose the job,

so she held back her frustration, half-jokingly and half-seriously asked:

"Please, what did I not do well enough?"

The other three girls looked at Chen Jianhai in confusion.

In their field, Bai Cheng was the best student.

If even she wasn't good enough, they had no hope.

Chen Jianhai was taken aback. How could she ask such a direct question right off the bat...

What wasn't good enough?

To others, Bai Cheng's work was very professional and already quite good.

But to me, a master bed-maker and professional cleaner, what you did was trash...

Of course, these words couldn't be said directly.

Chen Jianhai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Would you be willing to lie on such a bed?"

"No!"

The girls answered in unison.

Such a clean and neat bed, they would rather protect it than lie on it.

If they accidentally left any wrinkles, it would be heartbreaking.

For Bai Cheng's bed-making, this was the highest praise they could give!

"So," Chen Jianhai slowly said,

"Would travelers want to lie on such a bed to rest?"

The room fell silent.

Bai Cheng's big eyes blinked, as if a spark of inspiration flashed in her mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

"I believe the primary purpose of making a bed is to provide travelers with a clean and comfortable resting experience."

Chen Jianhai said.

"Every guest who comes to the hotel is like our family. Would you make the bed like this at home?"

The girls fell silent.

At home, they didn't even make the bed!

Only when guests visited would they make the bed neatly.

Not for themselves to enjoy, but as a front for guests.

"But we did it according to the book. If not this way, how should we make the bed?"

Bai Cheng asked, feeling a bit aggrieved.

Chen Jianhai pondered for a moment, then walked to the bed.

In an instant, a restrained and professional aura emanated from him.

Bending down,

Chen Jianhai grabbed both sides of the mattress with his fingers,

With a swift motion,

his long arms moved like swan wings, spreading the white duvet gracefully in mid-air. His bed-making actions were incredibly delicate and elegant, each movement flowing with unique rhythm, full of cadence and beauty.

Bai Cheng and the others watched in awe.

This technique wasn't in any book, nor had any teacher used it.

It felt like watching a top-tier dance performance, not just bed-making.

Bai Cheng hurriedly took out her phone, "Such a precious scene should be recorded."

She quickly started recording.

After finishing with the pillows, Chen Jianhai stood up and said:

"This is how we make beds in our hotel."

Bai Cheng quickly put away her phone.

The bed made by Chen Jianhai was soft and tidy.

Completely different from the cold bed earlier, it gave a sense of mental comfort,

as if returning to one's bedroom at home.

It made people want to wrap themselves in the quilt and roll around on it.

Bai Cheng's eyes sparkled: "I've never seen a bed made so well, how did you do it!"

"First, you need a system," Chen Jianhai thought to himself.

Seeing Bai Cheng's expectant eyes, Chen Jianhai thought for a moment and said:

"Make it with your heart."

Bai Cheng's eyes lit up instantly.

"With my heart?" Bai Cheng asked softly.

"Yes," Chen Jianhai replied.

"Put yourself in the guest's shoes, be empathetic, and only then can you make the perfect bed."

Empathy...

Bai Cheng repeated the phrase several times, then looked up, "I've learned something, thank you."

After speaking, Bai Cheng reluctantly looked at the hotel,

"Although my performance today was not up to par, if there's another chance, I will definitely come back for the interview and succeed next time."

Bai Cheng felt a sense of loss.

A hotel that could cultivate such excellent employees must have high standards, and her small abilities wouldn't be enough to get hired.

What a pity!

She really liked this hotel.

Maybe she could plead with the assessor?

Even without a salary or a name tag, anything would be fine,

as long as she could stay here and practice bed-making daily, it would be a huge gain for her.

"No need for next time, come with me to the front desk to sign the contract," Chen Jianhai said.

Sign the contract?

Bai Cheng almost thought she heard wrong.

With her bed-making skills, she could still sign a contract?

She turned to look at her roommates, who also had incredulous expressions.

Bai Cheng didn't know how to react.

Seeing Bai Cheng's expression, Chen Jianhai thought she hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated:

"I mean, your qualifications meet our hotel's requirements, you have great potential and strong learning ability. Our hotel has decided to hire you for room service."

"Huh? I... can?"

"Will your boss agree...?"

Bai Cheng asked nervously, her hands fidgeting with her clothes.

Chen Jianhai smiled slightly, extended his hand, and said:

"Hello, I am the owner of Langai Hotel, Chen Jianhai."
