Although she knew it wasn't very ethical, as she watched those people eagerly lining up, she felt a secret sense of schadenfreude.
"Here, drink some water and rinse your mouth."
A bottle of mineral water was handed over, and Lin Suyang sat beside her, desperately rinsing his mouth as if suppressing a strong urge to vomit.
"Thanks," Chocolate accepted the bottle, a look of transcendence on her face.
Although it was only a few minutes, she felt as if she had reviewed her entire life while up there.
"There's no one I love in this world, no one I hate, and nothing I'm afraid to do...!!!"
Chocolate sat there muttering to herself, feeling her life had reached a new level of enlightenment.
"Thanks for the water."
Chocolate stood up, sincerely thanked Lin Suyang, then pointed to his face apologetically, whispered a "Sorry, goodbye," and set off in the direction of her dreams.
…
Nanjing Fuman Fish Pier
As the passenger boat slowly approached the pier, an old man with white hair led a young man off the boat.
"The last time I came to Nanjing was thirty years ago. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful now," the old man said emotionally.
The old man, who appeared to be in his 60s, had a kind and gentle look. Although he seemed aged, his back was straight and strong.
"Let's go! Let's try some beer!"
The old man looked at the young man on the street and listened to the music playing in the air, seeming to come alive himself.
The two merged into the crowd...
…
Meanwhile, in the five-star hotel tent, Chen Jianhai sat in the dining area of Yue Mei Hotel, staring annoyed at the system panel's task. Since the system had issued such an unclear task, no matter how he called, the system remained unresponsive, completely indifferent to his plight.
Chen Jianhai's eyes were fixed on the people coming and going. "I could trigger a hidden task, probably because I was in a specific scenario. So, I think the hidden job seeker should be in this five-star tent."
"Since the system task is named: Hidden Nervous Job Seeker, should I focus on the word 'nervous'?"
Thinking of this, Chen Jianhai seemed to find a ray of hope and immediately stretched his neck to look around.
But no matter how he looked,
Those coming to dine were either excited live stream fans, hotel guests coming in for meals, or players participating in the beer festival. None of them seemed nervous!
If anyone could be considered nervous, it would be Tang Tangtang.
The Golden Opera House dining area gave Tang Tangtang boundless inspiration, and he had been holed up in the dining area drawing for the past few days.
Usually, it was fine, but whenever manga fans came to dine or discussed how cruel the dog artist was with the plot, Tang Tangtang would look extremely nervous, with a face that both wanted to hide and admit his identity.
"Tui! Even if I can't complete the task, that hidden job seeker definitely isn't him."
Chen Jianhai rolled his eyes and directly ignored Tang Tangtang.
"The system wouldn't randomly give me an employee. It must be because I lack staff at this stage, so the system proactively sent one for me to discover."
"What kind of staff do I lack now?" Chen Jianhai tapped the table, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Logically, the staff he lacked the most now was a seaplane pilot.
But Xie Zhulongxiong had already started working on that. With such a long time without the system issuing a task, it definitely wasn't a seaplane pilot.
Could it be... a new hotel assistant?!
Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up!
For Chen Jianhai, his assistants not only helped him handle various trivial matters but also played the role of branch managers.
He currently had only Wen Zifan as his assistant.
When he wasn't at the Langai Hotel, Wen Zifan actually took on the duties of the branch manager, managing employees and handling other administrative, dining, and service tasks.
Although he and Wen Zifan coordinated fairly well, with one at Langai and one on the island,
once more branches opened in the future, the manpower would surely be insufficient.
"Could it be that the system wants me to poach someone?" Chen Jianhai's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
In the five-star hotel tent, apart from many chefs, there were mostly assistants from various hotels.
If that counted as a hidden employee, then he had to choose carefully.
While Chen Jianhai was contemplating, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Hey! He looks quite nervous!"
...
At this moment, Cui Meng was standing there, barely daring to breathe in front of his several bosses.
Today, the Yue Mei Hotel brothers had come in full force. Apart from the second sister who was having a baby, the eldest brother attending a parent-teacher meeting, and the sixth brother on a blind date, all the bosses were here.
"How have the food and beverage sales been these days?"
"Why do we have fewer customers than them! I told you our decor is too traditional, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Look at the hotel next door, Langai Hotel, and then look at our shabby sofas and tables! It's so embarrassing I can't even show them!"
"Ha, you want to build something flashy and cyberpunk? Then you pay for it! If you have no money, don't talk big!"
"Shut up, both of you. I'm going to be annoyed to death. Let's just close the hotel, split the money, and everyone goes home!"
"..."
Chen Jianhai looked at his dining table in amazement.
Although not gold-plated, it was considered high-end in the restaurant. And this was called a shabby table?
Although the Yue Mei Hotel bosses' voices weren't loud, they were clear within the distance of the two hotels.
Liu Qinglu didn't know when she had come out, arms crossed, leaning against the screen, watching the scene with amusement.
"This guy isn't ordinary... Serving so many bosses alone, not to mention he looks sharp and handles matters well. Could he be the hidden employee?"
A thought flashed quickly through Chen Jianhai's mind.
Now he was like a headless fly, trying out any opportunity that came his way.
If he guessed wrong, so be it. It wouldn't hurt to try.
After the Yue Mei Hotel bosses finished their round of mutual criticism and left,
Cui Meng exhaled a long breath.
He really didn't dare to speak!
In such a situation, he didn't dare utter a word, afraid that one sentence from him would provoke hundreds of retorts from them.
He couldn't possibly argue against so many people.
But no matter what, even though these bosses seemed ill-tempered and argued every day, they were quite nice to the employees and spoke kindly to him.
"So, how can I get more customers than Langai Hotel...! It's so difficult."
Cui Meng looked enviously at the Golden Opera House dining area and took a deep look at Chen Jianhai.
Sigh, maybe this is just talent.
"Hmm?!!!!!"
Just as he was thinking this, the hair on the back of Cui Meng's neck stood on end.
When he looked at Chen Jianhai, he found that Chen Jianhai was staring straight at him, and slowly walking towards him.
What's going on?
This guy's expression looks off!
"Are you interested in coming to my hotel as my assistant?"
Chen Jianhai's voice sounded above him.
Cui Meng's expression went from dumbfounded to shocked to puzzled.
The strongest order taker in history heard it clearly, and Liu Qinglu's expression changed instantly, showing disbelief.
Is poaching people this direct now?
Cui Meng swallowed, looking at the astonished Yue Mei Hotel staff behind Chen Jianhai, and said with a stiff smile:
"Sorry, Boss Chen. Although I admire you a lot and yearn for your hotel, I'm quite happy working at Yue Mei Hotel now."
"If you ever need help, you can always find me."
Chen Jianhai nodded calmly.
No? Then it's probably not him.
"Alright, I understand."
With that, Chen Jianhai turned and went back to his table, deep in thought again.
Cui Meng was stunned.
He just gave up like that??
He just let it go?
Although I can't agree with you, you could at least try harder, say a few more words!
That way I could get a bigger bonus at the end of the year!
…you jerk!
