Chapter 119: The Team Member's Approval

"Yes, Manager!" Ning Youyou replied confidently.

Stepping out of the manager's office, Ning Youyou's dark eyes sparkled with excitement!

Indeed, opportunities always favor those who are attractive, sharp-eyed, and diligent! If it weren't for her passion for learning, frequently attending lectures under the guise of working at the school's travel agency, she wouldn't have known about Li Xun and Lang Ai Hotel. She wouldn't have designed the Nanjing historical tour route, seizing the initiative to attract tourists and leaving other travel agencies still stuck in old ways far behind!

"Looks like I made a good choice, picking a hotel with the best potential for cooperation."

Back at her desk, Ning Youyou reminisced about the small five-story hotel in her memory, unable to believe it was now a cultural landmark.

"I haven't seen Chen Jianhai for a while; I wonder how he's doing..."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Ning Youyou's eyes. Thinking of the timid man on Huanhai Road, Ning Youyou's eyes curved as if recalling something amusing. She picked up the dolphin bubble gun on her desk and fired a few bubbles, which burst in mid-air, shimmering in seven colors under the sunlight.

...

"Alright, alright, no problem!"

"Wow, I wouldn't have known about this if you hadn't told me. Haha, okay, okay!"

"When will the tour group arrive? Next Monday?"

"Alright! See you next Monday!"

At Lang Ai Hotel.

Chen Jianhai hung up the phone, his expression momentarily dazed.

Then he immediately opened his computer and typed into the search bar: "Thought Hurricane - Nanjing in History."

The next moment, photos of Li Xun and his lectures appeared on the screen. And accompanying Li Xun were the name and pictures of Lang Ai Hotel!

Whoa!

Ning Youyou was telling the truth!

Just now on the phone, Ning Youyou said his hotel had become a tourist hotspot, and he thought she was joking.

Unexpectedly, his hotel really was on the internet!

He always thought Li Xun was just a poor backpacker wandering around. Usually, he lived by taking photos and posting them on social media.

But who would have thought he was actually a historian!

Taking a deep sip of hot water, Chen Jianhai felt a sudden realization, as if a veil had been lifted, revealing the truth.

No wonder he completed the system's five-star difficulty hidden achievement and received the Historian's Witness.

No wonder his hotel inexplicably received the title of Cultural Posthouse.

All the inexplicable system rewards now made sense!

The mysterious historian was Li Xun!

"Old Li... You really are my dear Old Li!"

Chen Jianhai sincerely exclaimed, almost wanting to rush to Li Xun and hug him tightly!

"Various universities and organizations have extended invitations..."

"A nationwide lecture tour... 132 lectures in the second half of the year..."

"I'm gonna get rich!!!"

Chen Jianhai looked at the thrilling numbers online, as if countless little money wings were flying towards him.

"Ding!"

"System detected: Host hotel cultural attention has exceeded 10,000."

"System reward: For every 100 historical travelers staying at the Cultural Posthouse, the hotel gains 1 point in cultural influence."

The system's voice echoed in Chen Jianhai's mind.

"I know the Cultural Posthouse is my hotel."

"So, historical travelers... Could they be tourists following historical routes?"

Chen Jianhai's mind raced.

"In other words, regular vacationers don't count."

"I need 10,000 historical travelers to stay at my hotel to complete the cultural influence task!"

"Cultural influence..."

Isn't this the perfect opportunity!

...

With Ning Youyou bringing the first batch of student tour groups, the hotel's customer flow skyrocketed at a terrifying rate.

Other travel agencies also called one after another, seizing the chance to cooperate with Lang Ai Hotel and develop corresponding historical routes.

Besides formal tour groups like Ning Youyou's, there were also scattered self-organized history enthusiasts following Li Xun's historical map.

They either biked, walked, traveled with friends, or solo, and Lang Ai Hotel became their must-visit accommodation.

For these travelers, Chen Jianhai instructed hotel staff to not only offer them a 20% discount but also prepare a simple travel gift pack for them upon departure.

The gift pack didn't contain much, just some medicine, sweat-wicking socks, maps, and snacks like cookies, chocolate, and beef jerky.

But this gesture quickly earned Lang Ai Hotel rave reviews and praise online.

Many people posted pictures of their travel gift packs from the hotel, and Lin Suyang seized the opportunity to start a discussion on Weibo about "The best hotel gift you've received."

In the topic, he first gathered many travelers' gift packs from Lang Ai Hotel, garnering a wave of praise and likes. Then he quickly linked this topic to Li Xun's trending topic on Nanjing Road, attracting a lot of attention.

...

In the hotel lobby's cafe, a bald man sipped his coffee, observing Chen Jianhai standing by the reception desk.

"Lang Ai Hotel was on the verge of closing two months ago, but who would've thought it would turn around like this!"

"And the owner is so young!"

"Unbelievable."

During his stay, he had been observing the overall situation of the hotel. Although he had seen Chen Jianhai before, he assumed the other was a regular hotel resident and paid no mind.

Through these days of observation and online information, the bald man realized this enthusiastic young man by the reception was actually the owner of Lang Ai Hotel.

Initially, he thought Chen Jianhai was a rich second-generation relying on family money to run the hotel. But unexpectedly, he truly was a rich second-generation with family money and assets!

However, this rich second-generation's environment was tough. He didn't inherit a well-run, thriving hotel but a failing one.

This was proven by many videos online.

Building a beautiful hotel isn't hard, but managing it well with loyal and professional staff and long-term vision is the real test of a manager.

"Young and promising!"

The bald man thought, looking at Chen Jianhai with a hint of admiration.

In his briefcase, the forms were already filled out. Now, he just waited for his colleagues to arrive and evaluate the remaining parts of the hotel.

"It seems another dark horse will join this year's Platinum Five-Star Hotel Awards."

Ahhh! Thanks to the wonderful editor!!!

Mwah~ Mwah!!

I love this world!!!

Although there's no moon tonight, the lights downstairs are beautiful~
