Chapter 83: My Employees Are All Talented

Standing outside the warehouse for a moment, Chen Jianhai heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Turning around, he saw Xie Zhu Long Xiong carrying two beer bottles, sneaking out with a guilty look. He looked around nervously before quickly tossing the bottles into the trash can.

After disposing of the evidence, Xie Zhu Long Xiong stood there, contentedly letting out a beer burp. Chen Jianhai was speechless.

"Boss, the poster for the carnival is ready. Would you like to take a look?" a voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Chen Jianhai was delighted and hurried towards the hotel lobby.

…

Outside the hotel, a giant colorful promotional poster was prominently displayed at the entrance. It featured mouth-watering images of large skewers, juicy oysters, and abalone, and fresh grilled crabs clinking with frosty beer.

The black background and red imagery highlighted the fiery deliciousness of the barbecue theme. Above the large crab, bold letters read: "Lakeside Garden Wood Grill BBQ Music Carnival."

"118 yuan for unlimited BBQ buffet dinner, including unlimited soft drinks and one craft beer."

"Add 88 yuan for unlimited beer from a selection of 12 craft beers for an hour!"

"Delicious, aromatic, and full of flavor!"

The entire poster emphasized the numbers 118 and 88 and the word "unlimited," instantly grabbing attention.

"Not bad, quite good," Chen Jianhai nodded approvingly at the poster.

But an employee nearby commented, "Boss, doesn't our event poster seem a bit plain?"

"Should we get some bikini models as greeters, set up themed entrances at the event, and have the models stamp a waterproof theme tattoo on each guest, marking them as carnival participants?"

The employee's excitement was evident, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

Chen Jianhai looked at the employee in surprise. "You have some interesting ideas."

Since planning this carnival, Chen Jianhai noticed a significant increase in his employees' enthusiasm and sense of participation. More people were offering suggestions.

Previously, he had been pushing forward alone, but now, suggestions were regularly coming in. Whether the ideas were serious or not, it was a good start.

The poster employee grinned, "Boss, I have another idea."

Chen Jianhai became interested, "Tell me, let's hear it."

The poster employee continued, "Although the hotel is hosting a BBQ carnival focusing on beer, if possible, we should hire a flair bartender."

"The taste of the drinks can be average, but the performance must be impressive and cool!"

"Smoked rusty nails, salty dogs with carabiner clips, pink fizz, strawberry screwdrivers…"

"Anyone who adds the 88 yuan option can get a free drink."

"With guitar performances on one side of the lake and a flair bartender on the other, guests can enjoy music and watch bartending performances. Perfect!"

The poster employee grew more confident and excited as he spoke.

"If those aren't enough, we could add a fashion show on a floating runway, leveraging VIKTORIA's show resources."

"We could bring in a bunch of models for a peak visual feast for the guests!"

Chen Jianhai carefully looked the poster employee up and down. "Young man, you have some great ideas!"

The employee smiled sheepishly, "Boss, I was the former head of the publicity department at the Nanjing City Tourism Vocational College..."

"The ones who came for the shoot the other day, they were all trained by me."

"Wow!" Chen Jianhai was instantly impressed. Talent indeed!

"So, boss, should we get bikini models as greeters?" The poster employee quickly brought the conversation back to the main point.

Seeing Chen Jianhai remain silent, the employee persisted, "It doesn't have to be models… I think our hotel staff have pretty good figures!"

"Standing at the entrance in bikinis would definitely attract attention!"

Chen Jianhai looked at the employee's overly excited expression and patted his shoulder helplessly.

"You and Xie Zhu Long Xiong are a perfect pair, complementing each other well."

One is daring to the point of recklessness, while the other is timid.

"Discussing this with me is one thing," Chen Jianhai said, "But if Bai Cheng and Tian Qing Ning hear it, you'll be the one standing at the entrance in a bikini with themed tattoos tomorrow..."

…

Directing the staff to hang the poster in the most prominent spot outside the hotel, Chen Jianhai gave his employees a stern lecture.

For an all-you-can-eat buffet priced at most 206 yuan per person, all the budget went into the food and drinks. There was no money left for models!

The BBQ event at the lakeside garden focuses on "eating" and "affordability." All those flashy extras were unnecessary for Chen Jianhai.

A guitar performance to set the mood was already sufficient.

But... a flair bartender did sound cool. Maybe next time!

…

In the evening.

On Huanghai Road in Nanjing City, Hu Xing had just left the family-friendly hotel, still hearing the children's noise in his ears.

As a new father, life had been tough since the day his twins were born.

Every day was either work or taking care of the kids, feeding them, watching them, playing with them. Even on vacation, he had to play with his children, feed them, clean them, and only after they slept could he have his own time.

Finally, the two kids had settled down.

Their mom was exhausted and decided to rest in the room with some spicy hotpot and fried chicken.

Perhaps due to his exceptional performance over the past few days, the mother gave Hu Xing a free evening, allowing him to enjoy some leisure time.

"Every day it's grouper and mantis shrimp, no alcohol. Tonight, I must have some BBQ!"

The seaside BBQ and bar street was well-known for its variety. As soon as he left the hotel, Hu Xing headed straight there.

"Hmm? Lakeside Garden Wood Grill BBQ?"

"118 yuan for unlimited BBQ buffet dinner,"

"And 88 yuan for unlimited craft beer from a beer wall for an hour?!"

This place looked promising! Hu Xing was instantly attracted by the words "beer wall."

He took out his phone, opened the group buying app, and searched for the hotel's name to check if there was a group purchase deal. The price was the same.

"Why not give it a try?"

Licking his lips, Hu Xing walked into Lang Ai Hotel.
