Bab 408: Chapter 408: Quick Alone, Far Together
Chen Jianhai sat stiffly, numb.
Are they talking about me?
Electric eel, landmark... these descriptions are even more exaggerated than those written by Su Jie.
Amid the applause, Chen Jianhai took a deep breath, walked up to the stage, and received the "Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of the Year" certificate and trophy. In an instant, he activated the triple buffs of [Affability], [Camaraderie], and the barely noticeable [Personal Charm +1], making him appear exceptionally humble and gentle.
The beautiful female host stood beside him, looking up with a radiant smile as she spoke:
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for being awarded Nanjiang City's Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of the Year!"
"In this joyous moment, Mr. Chen, can you share your feelings with us?"
Chen Jianhai took the microphone and said, "Right now, I feel grateful, very grateful."
Due to the lighting, the audience was in semi-shadow, making it difficult for Chen Jianhai to see their faces clearly.
At this moment, he felt like he was speaking into the void, even his tone carried a hint of emotion.
"When I first took over Langai Hotel, 98% of the employees were interns still in school, all very inexperienced."
"At that time, we had neither funds nor talent, let alone experts."
"We just earnestly did our jobs, provided good service, sincerely thought about what the guests and employees needed,"
"Continuously familiarizing ourselves, adapting, and developing through exploration, constantly offering more suitable service products to satisfy employees and comfort guests."
"All of this was possible thanks to everyone's support and encouragement."
"I'm grateful for Nanjiang City's favorable business environment, grateful to society, grateful to the hospitality industry for providing a tolerant and supportive environment for our growth."
"Thank you."
After speaking, Chen Jianhai stood there and gave a deep, sincere bow to the audience.
Applause erupted from the audience.
Regardless of how genuine the applause was, it sounded wonderful to Chen Jianhai on stage.
The beautiful host then smiled and asked, "Can I ask if Langai Hotel has any surprises in store for us this year?"
Chen Jianhai, a bit shy, replied, "Currently, the hotel's service capabilities have reached high industry standards. This year, we plan to create newer, more, and more humanized service products."
Before the beautiful host could ask what those service products were, Chen Jianhai quickly added, "But creation cannot be done in isolation."
"Quick alone, far together."
"Opportunities are colorful through exchange, and paths are enriched through mutual learning."
"I hope that in the broader future, Langai Hotel can sow seeds of mutual benefit and friendship with more industry veterans and elites, playing a splendid symphony of 'poetry and distance' for Nanjiang City!"
...
Walking off the stage to applause and returning to his seat,
Chen Jianhai's mind was blank, and his back was almost soaked with sweat.
It was too nerve-wracking...!
Unlike speaking to his employees at the hotel,
the audience was filled with veterans and elites. If he said something unclear, it would become a lifelong joke.
Quickly reviewing what he had just said, there shouldn't be any major flaws.
He had smoothly passed the critical stage of giving a speech.
Perhaps because his part was over, Chen Jianhai participated in the rest of the conference with a relaxed, spectator mentality.
When some industry leaders shared their management experiences on stage, he found it quite insightful.
Many aspects he had previously overlooked or ignored broadened his perspective and knowledge through this conference,
giving him a deeper understanding of market changes, consumer psychology, and corporate transformation.
By the end, Chen Jianhai even felt an impulse to fly back to the hotel and start making drastic, tailored improvements.
The conference lasted a long time,
and after expert speeches, corporate presentations, and interactive sessions, it finally concluded in the evening.
Holding an empty water bottle in one hand and his certificate and award in the other, Chen Jianhai was about to take a car back to Langai.
But after a few steps, before leaving the venue, he was stopped by Huang Baichuan.
"Hey, didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so eloquent. Did you get some high-level advice?"
Chen Jianhai glared at him: "What high-level advice? These are my heartfelt, sincere words."
Huang Baichuan laughed, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"
Chen Jianhai replied, somewhat annoyed, "No plans, but I want to go back to the hotel."
Huang Baichuan was puzzled, "Is there something urgent at the hotel?"
Chen Jianhai said, "No, but I just heard a lot of good advice, and I want to go back and jot it down quickly before I forget."
As he spoke, Chen Jianhai walked towards the exit,
Huang Baichuan rolled his eyes and followed, saying, "Those motivational talks are good to listen to, but what works for them might not work for you. Don't mess up your stable foundation by making hasty changes!"
"Come with me, I'll take you out for dinner tonight!"
Chen Jianhai asked curiously, "What's for dinner?"
Huang Baichuan glanced around and lowered his voice, "Do you remember the Nanjiang CEO Dance Class I mentioned before?"
Chen Jianhai shook his head naively.
What's that?
Does Nanjiang City have such a management-level training class?
Su Jie never mentioned it...
Huang Baichuan rolled his eyes again, suppressing the urge to knock some sense into Chen Jianhai, and whispered:
"Director Xu, girl group dance!!! Do you remember????"
Hearing this, Chen Jianhai stopped in his tracks and looked at Huang Baichuan in disbelief.
He remembered!
Back when he was preparing for the hotel annual meeting, he humbly asked Huang Baichuan what programs bosses usually prepared.
Huang Baichuan told him that Nanjiang City had a CEO dance class where many CEOs learned to dance for year-end performances.
And Xu Bo's father, the big boss of Nanjiang Shuibobo Swim Ring Industrial Company, Xu Badie, was a master of girl group dances!!!
Chen Jianhai had genuinely considered joining this dance class to entertain his employees at the year-end party,
but due to time constraints and being on the island, his contact with Huang Baichuan decreased, and his curiosity subsided.
Unexpectedly, today, Huang Baichuan brought it up again!
Seeing Chen Jianhai's expression, Huang Baichuan sighed, "Remember now?"
Chen Jianhai nodded.
Huang Baichuan asked, "Want to go?"
Chen Jianhai nodded eagerly.
"Come on, get in my car!"
