Chapter 436: Can't You Take Me With You?

Awkward,

Unparalleled awkwardness.

Chen Jianhai truly never expected to meet his new neighbor in such a situation.

Since this was the first and only unlimited play pass issued by Magic Century Theme Park, the park's employees had already prepared cameras to capture the moment. The instant Chen Jianhai received the unlimited play pass, the cameras clicked, recording this exciting and unforgettable moment.

The next morning,

When Su Jie saw Chen Jianhai's photo appear in the news about Magic Century Theme Park, his entire expression changed.

Is this guy too bold?

Not only did he build a hotel next to the park to compete for business,

But he also shamelessly took advantage of the internal testing period to snag an unlimited play pass and milk the benefits???

Perhaps due to the system's luck buff,

That very afternoon, Chen Jianhai received a call from Rui Keya.

"Boss, the matter about the hotel subway entrance you asked me to handle has been settled."

"They've agreed to add an exit for us."

Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the sofa, excitedly saying:

"So fast!! How did you manage that?"

Rui Keya sighed softly, his voice tinged with a hint of melancholy and depth.

"Because the person in charge of this is my ex-girlfriend..."

"Ah, never mind."

"Boss, I'll go handle the subway entrance paperwork now. I'll hang up first."

Chen Jianhai quickly replied, "Alright, thanks for your hard work, brother."

After carefully hanging up the phone, Chen Jianhai's eyes sparkled with the excitement of gossip.

Wow!

Who would have thought?

Rui Keya actually has an ex-girlfriend in Zaomen!

The flower of love from his youth bloomed so memorably that even after getting married and having children, a single call could still solve problems.

This damned lingering affection!

But gossip aside,

The most urgent matter now was to finalize the hotel's theme park layout.

Opening the system panel, he navigated to the mall, other configurations, and amusement projects.

Chen Jianhai carefully selected a few projects he enjoyed and rearranged their positions on the system's overhead layout map, his eyes filled with contemplation.

He still had one opportunity to upgrade one of the three hotels to the Ocean Star Luxury Hotel.

Currently, Langai Hotel had already become a platinum-level five-star hotel, leaving little room for hardware improvements. To advance further, he could only focus on enhancing the hotel's soft power and service quality.

The positioning of Island Hotel was also precise—a comprehensive resort and wellness hotel with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and offerings of food, drink, entertainment, and leisure.

Now, the hotel most in need of an upgrade was actually his Zaomen Magic Hotel.

"Ding."

"Host, are you sure you want to upgrade Zaomen Magic Hotel to a luxury hotel?"

"Confirm!"

Chen Jianhai answered without hesitation.

"Ding."

"The system has received the host's command. Zaomen Hotel will be upgraded to a luxury hotel."

"After inspection, Zaomen Hotel currently has 864 rooms. After the upgrade, it will expand to 1,087 rooms."

"The customer service centers will increase from 15 to 29."

...

"The existing restaurants, amusement projects, and room interiors will undergo a unified upgrade."

"The upgrade will take 3 days."

Great!

Chen Jianhai's eyes gleamed with determination.

In three days, the barriers will come down, the hotel will open, and the money will roll in!

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Chen Jianhai was relatively calm. After all, the new hotel was essentially his third home, a place he would live in for a long time.

If something was missing, he could just buy it.

After all, he had money~~~

Xiao Lang was even more extreme. He didn't even bring luggage, just wore a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers to Zaomen.

He planned to eat, drink, and live entirely in the hotel,

Spending his free time checking on the barbecue shop and hanging out with Chen Jianhai and Da Bo when he had nothing else to do.

As for the other hotel employees, it was even simpler.

Their daily attire mostly consisted of the uniforms provided by the hotel, and the hotel could meet all their needs for food, drink, and daily necessities.

Basically, everyone only prepared a small suitcase with some personal items, ready to leave at a moment's notice.

Only Su Jie packed a full car with large and small bags and boxes.

It really looked like he was moving his entire house.

"Alright, Brother Su, don't be sad. With so many people seeing you off, you should be happy!"

In the large conference room of the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association, a farewell ceremony for Su Jie was underway.

All the five-star hotel owners and assistants from Nanjiang had gathered, taking the 63rd bus to bid Su Jie farewell.

Seeing so many friends come to see him off,

At first, Su Jie could control his emotions,

But later, his eyes turned red, and his voice choked up.

It wasn't until Chen Jianhai, unable to bear it, handed him a tissue to wipe his nose that the farewell ceremony continued smoothly.

"Goodbye, Boss Zhang."

"Goodbye, Boss Wan."

"Goodbye, Boss Liu."

With red eyes, Su Jie shook hands with each person, his gaze filled with reluctance.

When it came to Chen Jianhai,

Su Jie reached out and shook his hand firmly, saying, "See you later, Boss Chen."

Chen Jianhai: ???

"Goodbye, everyone. Goodbye, Nanjiang!"

After saying this, Su Jie waved to everyone.

Then, under the reluctant gazes of the crowd, he got into the car and drove off toward Zaomen.

"Boss, are you leaving again?"

Watching the car disappear at the end of the street, Wen Zifan suddenly asked.

"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow morning," Chen Jianhai replied, waving at Su Jie's car while instinctively adding, "This time, I'll probably be gone for a long time. I'll have to leave Nanjiang in your hands."

Her amber peach-blossom eyes dimmed slightly as she softly asked, "Can't you take me with you?"

Her voice was so soft and faint that it was almost drowned out by the noisy chatter of the crowd,

But for some reason,

The wind carried it to Chen Jianhai's ears.

Chen Jianhai's waving hand paused, and a look of struggle and hesitation crossed his face.

Finally, he shook his head and slowly said,

"No."

The peach-blossom eyes fell silent.

Even if Chen Jianhai hadn't said it, she knew he couldn't take her with him.

Her identity, first and foremost, was Chen Jianhai's assistant, the person in charge of Langai Hotel aside from Chen Jianhai himself.

Only by staying at Langai could she ensure that Chen Jianhai could focus on his endeavors in Zaomen and the expansion of the new hotel.

"Alright, I understand, Boss."

Wen Zifan took a deep breath, smiled, and looked up.

"I will definitely take good care of the hotel."

Seeing Wen Zifan's smile, Chen Jianhai's heart softened. As if making a promise or a wish, he said,

"Next time!"

"Next time, I'll definitely take you with me!"
