Capítulo 109: Chapter 109 Four Years to Encounter Chen Jianhai
At nine in the evening, Chen Jianhai enjoyed a bowl of tender meat wonton soup in the restaurant. Humming a tune, he leisurely started his rounds, checking each floor inside and outside the hotel. When he passed the second-floor PPT center, he curiously glanced through the glass at the door.
Whoa!
What he saw shocked him.
The usually energetic and cheerful employees now wore exhausted expressions, with furrowed brows and bloodshot eyes. Their gazes were fixed intently on their computer screens, fingers flying over the keyboards, looking incredibly focused and completely different from their usual relaxed and happy demeanor.
"Is this work really that tiring?!"
Chen Jianhai was stunned.
He had never made a PPT himself and didn't think the job was a big deal. His idea for customized PPT services for the hotel had come from seeing Xiao Liu create a PPT for Li Xun. But seeing the employees' working conditions now, it seemed quite grueling!
Xiao Liu and Xing Feilong seemed alright, but next to An Bingfeng's desk were two instant noodle containers, a large barrel of Mafu Spring mineral water, and several torn food packaging wrappers beside his water cup, clearly showing he hadn't left his seat all day.
While working, An Bingfeng uncomfortably stretched his neck and yawned. Despite being visibly exhausted, he continued to work diligently.
Seeing his employees in such a state, Chen Jianhai immediately called the kitchen, asking them to send some food.
"Boss, what brings you here?"
Lin Suyang, hearing Chen Jianhai's voice, looked up to see the boss standing at the door, looking rather displeased. Lin Suyang was taken aback and quickly nudged An Bingfeng with his foot.
An Bingfeng, fully immersed in his work with headphones on, was startled by the kick. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Chen Jianhai himself and was frightened out of his wits.
Knowing the boss liked cleanliness, An Bingfeng quickly threw the noodle containers into the trash and sheepishly said, "Boss, we'll clean everything up when we're done."
Chen Jianhai looked at the trash bins and asked, "Have you all not eaten?"
Lin Suyang quickly replied, "Boss, the clients needed this urgently, so we decided to eat quickly and save some time..."
Chen Jianhai, observing the employees' explanation, felt a wave of contemplation. He had initiated the PPT service to promote the hotel and attract potential new customers. He hadn't given much thought to the subsequent workload and simply decided to give it a try, without considering the aftermath.
But now, it was clear that while he was happy with the results, the employees were overwhelmed with the workload.
If this service gained popularity and more customers came to the hotel with this expectation, Xiao Liu and the others would face an ever-increasing workload.
Although Chen Jianhai had promised Lin Suyang double pay for the extra effort, the sheer volume of work could potentially crush the employees. If their physical and mental limits were exceeded, it would spell disaster for the hotel.
Thinking of this, Chen Jianhai said, "Everyone has worked hard."
"Xiao Lin, later compile a list of everyone's workload and overtime hours for me."
"Our PPT team puts in a lot of effort and works hard, so besides the double pay, the hotel will also give you additional bonuses every month."
Hearing this,
An Bingfeng instantly perked up!
Xiao Liu's eyes sparkled.
Xing Feilong was so excited he nearly broke the "F4" key!
In their past student union work, they didn't even get paid. The teachers only assigned tasks without any concern for the process, focusing solely on the end result. If the output didn't meet the teachers' expectations, all their hard work would be in vain, and they would have to start over. Moreover, it could leave a bad impression on the teachers, affecting future opportunities.
Now, although making PPTs at the hotel was tiring, it was entirely different!
Not only did they get paid, but they also received bonuses! Such generosity was unheard of!
"Thank you, Boss!!"
The team cheered, their eyes full of unabashed admiration for Chen Jianhai, almost wanting to lift him up and throw him into the air.
Seeing their joy, Chen Jianhai finally felt a sense of relief. Although he couldn't provide better technical working conditions, satisfying them with good pay was something he could manage.
Otherwise, he'd feel like he was letting his team down.
Despite having a system to aid him, the employees were still the heart and soul of the hotel. Expecting someone paid like a motel staff to provide five-star service was unrealistic. Saving money while demanding high-quality service without proper training was just wishful thinking!
The income from the recent Dolphin Bubble Fun Festival and the Atlantis Wedding Season was already an impressive figure. Thanks to the system, he didn't need to spend a penny on the hotel's construction, renovations, or equipment. Apart from taxes, utilities, food costs, and staff salaries, all the money went into his pocket. He could definitely afford to invest in his employees.
But even with extra pay, the massive workload remained an issue.
"It looks like we need to hire more people for the hotel."
Just then,
A kitchen staff member pushed a small cart into the room.
"Tonight's wonton soup is pretty good. Hungry or not, have a taste first."
Chen Jianhai said as he served wonton soup to the employees.
"Eat first, and then continue. These few minutes won't make a difference."
Seeing Chen Jianhai serving wonton soup, the hotel staff in the room were silent.
An Bingfeng almost wanted to cry. No one had served him food in the middle of the night, except his mom. In the student union, even if you worked all night, no teacher would care.
After serving the wonton soup, Chen Jianhai noticed the group staring at him and felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Why are you all staring at me! I'm not made of meat!"
"I'll have the kitchen send some fruits and lemon water later. If you get hungry at night and the kitchen is closed, you can grab some porridge from the small red house at the entrance."
After a pause, Chen Jianhai softly added, "Thank you all for your hard work for the hotel."
These words warmed Xing Feilong's heart, making his eyes moist.
He never expected to meet such a good boss after four years of hard work.
It's just a PPT!
I can make not just one, but a hundred if needed!!!
...
Time flew by.
While Xing Feilong was frantically working at the PPT center, He Rui was having the time of his life!
Ah! Look at that sea! So blue!
Ah! Look at that sunshine! So bright!
Ah! Look at that beach! So fine!
Ah! Look at that cat!! So cuddly!!
He Rui lifted an orange cat high, petting it with sheer joy, not caring if the cat liked it or not. For someone who usually only kept virtual pets due to work, the freedom to pet a cat was pure bliss!
One afternoon,
As He Rui was teasing the cat with a treat, Xing Feilong came to him with a USB drive, saying, "Mr. He, I've finished your PPT. Would you like to review it?"
"Sure, just load it onto my computer," He Rui said dismissively, without even glancing at Xing Feilong.
Xing Feilong: ???
"Mr. He, aren't you going to review it and make any changes?" Xing Feilong was puzzled.
He had carefully reviewed the materials and data He Rui provided, which were excellent! The content was rich, the data detailed, and the examples plentiful—a fantastic draft. Based on the quality of the draft and the data, this PPT was likely for an important occasion. Yet He Rui's indifferent attitude suggested it was trivial. Xing Feilong was confused.
"No need to revise it."
"I trust everything your hotel makes," He Rui replied casually.
He had already resigned himself to the situation. Whether the PPT turned out good or bad didn't matter. He planned to quit after this anyway. He was so relaxed that he felt everything was delightful, and saying a few nice words to make the employee happy didn't hurt.
Holding the USB drive, Xing Feilong was moved!
