Chapter 89: The Hotel is on Vacation

"Regarding your salaries, don't worry. You can go back to school for exams without affecting the payment of your wages and bonuses."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tingting was overjoyed.

Although they were interns, their wages were always issued at the same standard as full-time employees.

In a full month, it was about 5000 yuan.

This job was not only attractive to students but also considered a decent amount in society.

Being unable to work for two weeks without losing wages and bonuses, plus receiving an additional 500 yuan reward per person, was something they had never heard of before.

In that moment,

Zhu Tingting was moved beyond words.

After some time,

the hotel had become like a second home to them. Although Chen Jianhai, the head of this household, could sometimes be a bit of a fool, whenever the hotel staff needed help, Boss Chen was always the first to step up.

Such a good boss, and instead of appreciating him, I always slack off at work and flirt with Qin Mengqiu. It's really wrong of me!

"Alright, stop being so emotional. Get back to work!"

Chen Jianhai felt a shiver down his spine under Zhu Tingting's moved gaze.

If it were just the young girls like Bai Cheng looking at him with sparkling eyes, Chen Jianhai might have said a few more words.

But a muscular man holding garden shears giving him starry-eyed looks was just too much!

If it weren't for scaring Bai Cheng and the others,

Chen Jianhai would have kicked Zhu Tingting out a long time ago.

...

Finally!

After hosting the last wedding, Lang Ai Hotel's wedding season came to an end amidst a shower of flower petals.

All the hotel staff felt as if they had accomplished something remarkable,

their faces beaming with genuine happiness and relief.

From the Dolphin Bubble Fun Festival, to the Atlantis Wedding Season, and then to the Lakeside Garden Wooden Raft Music Barbecue Carnival,

in just two months,

their lives felt more fulfilling than their four years of university.

Although the daily work was exhausting, the joy they received was even greater.

After seeing off the last guest of the hotel,

Lang Ai Hotel's lobby

slowly filled with working staff.

Tonight,

they would all take a unified bus back to school and wouldn't return for two whole weeks.

Although two weeks sounded short,

to those accustomed to hotel life,

it felt as long as an entire summer vacation.

They looked at Chen Jianhai in the center of the lobby.

Their eyes were full of anticipation and reluctance.

"Boss, say a few words."

Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.

As soon as the words fell,

more people followed suit, asking Chen Jianhai to speak.

Chen Jianhai looked at his employees, each with bright, expectant eyes,

and he was utterly perplexed.

It's just two weeks off from work, right!?

I'm pretty sure it's two weeks, not two months or two years!

Why are they acting as if it's a final farewell, never to see each other again!

And besides,

the hotel is just being renovated, not closing down,

what's there to cry about!

Chen Jianhai shifted his confused gaze away from the female staff nearby,

right now he only wanted to say "dismissed" and quickly send everyone away so the hotel could start upgrading.

But since the atmosphere was already set, it seemed inappropriate not to say a few words,

after a brief silence,

Chen Jianhai spoke softly:

"I once saw a saying in a WeChat post,"

"A different height offers a different view."

"When you look down from the second floor, you see a mess, it's chaotic."

"But if you're looking down from the twentieth floor, you'll see beautiful scenery everywhere."

"Going back to school for exams is to prepare yourselves to stand higher in the future and see better views."

"Lang Ai Hotel is the same."

"In these two months, you have grown, and the hotel must grow too."

"Starting tomorrow, the hotel will undergo renovation, raising from 5 floors to 15 floors. When you return, you'll see a higher and better hotel scenery."

"And I hope that after these two weeks, I'll see a better you as well."

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Bai Cheng and the other girls suddenly started applauding!

"Boss, don't worry! For the sake of 500 yuan, if it doesn't kill me, I'll study to death!"

"If I fail, I'll treat you to a meal!"

A voice emerged from the staff, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Chen Jianhai was also amused by the remark.

He raised his hands to quiet the applause.

"When your finals are over and you return, it will be time for the hotel to take its exam."

"I have already submitted an application to the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association. In a month and a half, the industry association will conduct an assessment of the hotel's operations."

"If we pass this assessment, the hotel will become a member of the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association and officially be recognized as a five-star hotel!"

"Study hard, and do well in your exams!"

"In two weeks, I'll be waiting for you to come home at the new hotel!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the sound of car horns blared outside.

At the entrance of Lang Ai Hotel,

a yellow Baby BMW convertible was parked, with Xiao Lang wearing sunglasses, bare-chested with a big gold chain, arrogantly blowing smoke at Lao Chang who was sweeping the street,

waving his cigarette butt in a threatening manner:

"Hey, I'm not littering~~"

With that, Xiao Lang tossed the cigarette butt into a pre-prepared cigarette box.

This earned him a look of disdain from Lao Chang.

Hearing this sound,

Chen Jianhai's heart was completely wild,

now he just wanted to quickly send off his staff and close the hotel to go on vacation,

"It's getting late, everyone go back to school early and be safe on the road."

After saying this, Chen Jianhai seemed to fear the farewell atmosphere wasn't enough,

so he solemnly added:

"Meeting adjourned!"

...

"Goodbye, boss!"

"See you in half a month!"

The staff bid farewell to Chen Jianhai reluctantly as they boarded the school bus.

Chen Jianhai also "reluctantly" waved goodbye to his employees,

and after the bus left,

he meticulously inspected the hotel inside and out,

once confirming there was no one left inside,

Chen Jianhai swiftly locked the hotel door,

stood in front of it, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"I'm on vacation!!!"

With that,

Chen Jianhai joyfully ran towards Xiao Lang's sports car like a young fool!

Although he managed a vacation hotel,

as the boss, his life was no different from that of a small shop owner on the street.

His daily work was greeting guests, checking in guests, and sending off guests...

And the busier the holiday season, the more bustling the hotel business,

for him, it was virtually a year-round job without breaks.

So,

this two-week holiday was like celebrating the New Year for Chen Jianhai!

Behind him, Xu Qiaoni also ran freely with a look of relief.

These past two months,

Xu Qiaoni had been utterly exhausted,

cooking, kneading dough, stretching noodles from morning till night...

Her golden hands were almost trained to the limit, filled with boundless strength!

Now, finally, there was a holiday to rest,

Xu Bo said he wouldn't touch the dough table for these two weeks no matter what!

...

Not far away,

dozens of renovation vehicles were lined up along the coastal road, rolling towards Lang Ai Hotel.

Each vehicle bore the logo of "Ocean Star Renovation and Construction Services."

"I've never heard of this company before... where did you find them?" Xu Bo asked curiously.

"An incredibly amazing renovation company, exclusively for my service," Chen Jianhai replied mysteriously.

"Hai Ge, have you decided where to go these few days?"

The engine of the Baby BMW roared, ready to go,

Xiao Lang didn't want to hear Chen Jianhai brag anymore, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I've decided!"

Chen Jianhai pulled out sunglasses from his pocket: "To the island for a vacation!"
