Chapter 59: Letter of Recommendation in Hand!

"Let's start with an aerial overview, then the camera zooms in directly from the hotel entrance."

"During the shooting process, pay attention to the smooth progression of the scenes."

"Seniors, just stand here and act as you normally do at work."

...

At the entrance of Lang Ai Hotel, Students from the Nanjiang Tourism Vocational Center gathered together, studying filming techniques and framing.

The bellboy stood spiritedly beside the stone lions.

Boss Chen gave instructions.

All hotel staff were to follow the unified arrangements for the publicity shoot.

They were to do whatever was needed.

Inside the hotel,

Chen Jianhai, Director Xiao Sun, and Gao Qiao were sitting in the coffee area, chatting and laughing.

They had already finalized the overall plan and process for the shoot.

The remaining work would now be carried out by the students.

After all, professionals should handle professional matters, there was no need for them to interfere.

They only needed to inspect the finished product afterwards.

On the coffee table,

Gao Qiao took out a folder from his briefcase and smiled, "Chen buddy, I've also brought the letter of recommendation this time. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added."

Letter of recommendation?!

Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up! When discussing the contract last time, Gao Qiao had agreed to arrange for the school to issue a letter of recommendation to the hotel.

But after waiting for so long, he thought the matter had been forgotten, and had considered calling to inquire several times.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiao had brought the letter today! He hurriedly took the folder, opened it, and saw a document with the letterhead of Nanjiang Tourism Vocational School, neatly printed with three big characters: Letter of Recommendation.

Seeing these three words, Chen Jianhai almost cried.

He wished he could kiss it fiercely.

Little darling...

Dad has been looking forward to you like a star and a moon, and you've finally arrived!

This seemed like a light piece of paper,

but in reality, it was a solid gold key!

With this letter of recommendation, he was as good as stepping into the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association.

The success rate instantly jumped from 0% to 50%.

Thinking back to the past when Liu Qingluo was so high and mighty, relying on her own resources to be aggressive, Chen Jianhai truly appreciated his decision back then.

What good are a few resources in your hands! Dad doesn't need you. He can get the golden key on his own.

Gao Qiao looked satisfied at Chen Jianhai's excited expression and reminded him: "Chen buddy,"

"From what I know, the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association will open a wave of membership assessments three months later."

"If you're confident, why not sign up on their official website?"

"Attach this letter of recommendation to your application form. It should be helpful."

Gao Qiao modestly said, but his smile was subtle.

But the confidence in his eyes almost burned a hole through the letter of recommendation.

Huh...

Some help? I'm not boasting,

With this letter of recommendation, can't your Lang Ai Hotel's application form fly straight into the Secretary-General's mailbox of the association? Believe it or not! Do you believe it?!

...

On this side, Gao Qiao was secretly proud, while on the other side, Chen Jianhai obviously didn't notice Gao Qiao's rich inner world, he held the letter of recommendation in his hand, and curiously asked: "Gao bro, I'm young and don't understand many things. I'd like to consult with you."

"I heard that one of the conditions for joining the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association is to have a hotel scale of at least ten floors."

"Is this true or false?"

Gao Qiao pondered for a moment and replied, "Indeed, there is such a rule."

"Earlier, when the tourism and resort industry in Nanjiang City was first developed, there were many opportunities, resources, and good places."

"The first batch of hotel pioneers bought land and developed buildings during that time, experiencing a very difficult period before shaping the hotel industry in Nanjiang City."

"Later, more people saw the prosperity here, and a large number of hotels sprang up like mushrooms after a rain."

"During that time, the rapid development of the hotel industry, the rapid growth of customer flow and economy, brought about the prosperity of the market economy and the chaos of vicious competition."

"In order to better regulate the hotel market, promote Nanjiang City's tourism economy, and rescue the hotel industry, several authoritative old hotels united to establish the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association."

"The association has made unified standards and regulations for hotel scale, service quality, and various settings."

"After more than a decade of hard work, the hotel market in Nanjiang City was finally stabilized."

It can be said that these rules and regulations are the red line of the association and the foundation on which Nanjiang City's hotels are based.

Gao Qiao pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Chen buddy, the school's letter of recommendation is just a stepping stone, and its role is only to help you stand higher among many competitors."

"Whether you can eventually succeed depends on the conditions and strength of the hotel itself."

"This path is not easy."

Chen Jianhai fell silent for a while and nodded.

Gao Qiao smiled, "Chen buddy, you are talented. In less than half a year, you've revived Lang Ai Hotel."

"With your abilities, joining the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association and becoming a member is just a matter of time."

"Keep this letter of recommendation safe."

"When your conditions are mature, it's not too late to use it."

Gao Qiao meant every word he said.

Previously, he had conducted a very detailed investigation and understanding of Lang Ai Hotel.

Gao Qiao truly admired Chen Jianhai as a person.

Whether it was Chen Jianhai's daring launch of a boutique flash sale for single-day hotel stays, exchanging low prices for exposure and praise,

or seizing the opportunity to sign a long-term internship contract with the school and launch the seven-day Dolphin Bubble Fun Festival, every step of Chen Jianhai's was unexpected and delightful!

Even without this letter of recommendation, Chen Jianhai would sooner or later break into the Coconut Umbrella Association on his own merits.

This letter of recommendation was just a favor, a good relationship with the other party.

"Gao bro, you're really flattering me."

Chen Jianhai felt a bit embarrassed by the praise.

He carefully put away the letter of recommendation and wanted to ask more about the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association,

but before he could speak, his brow furrowed slightly.

It was a bright sunny day outside, and there were few people on the streets, exactly the kind of weather that could melt people away.

Seeing the students and staff still working under the scorching sun to film the hotel exterior,

Chen Jianhai couldn't sit still.

"Brothers, it's already noon."

"Everyone has been working hard. Let's not shoot for now. I'll treat everyone to a meal!"

"Rest well, and we'll continue in the afternoon!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiao immediately replied: "No need, we'll just buy boxed lunches."

For this outing, he had specifically applied for catering and transportation expenses from the school,

plus the subsidy afterwards, it was definitely enough for today's dining expenses.

Chen Jianhai's face darkened.

"You're on my turf, and you're going to eat boxed lunches?"

"If this gets out, I'll be so embarrassed!"

"Besides, can't I provide a decent working meal for the students who are working for me?"

With that,

Chen Jianhai shouted to the employees at the door,

"Don't let them work anymore! Take them to the cafeteria for lunch."

"Yes, boss!"

The employees answered and ran out to call the students in.

"This... doesn't comply with the regulations," Gao Qiao looked conflicted,

"Damn!"

Chen Jianhai didn't listen to reason, he grabbed Gao Qiao and Director Sun, and headed straight to the restaurant.

"Just a working meal: rice, noodles, and side dishes!"

"Come on, let's go see my newly built second-floor revolving music restaurant,"

"It's amazing!"
