Chapter 351 - Chapter 351: I Admit There's a Degree of Gambling

"What do you think???" 

"I think..." Chen Jianhai hesitated for a long time. 

You don't seem like you're hiring people; you seem like you're up to something shady!

What kind of wording is this?

Seduction? Fanning the flames... Is that how these phrases are used?

Chen Jianhai questioned, "Isn't this deceptive? Your current identity is fake. The other party thinks you're making friends, but what happens when you reveal your real purpose?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

After a long time, Xie Zhulong's muffled voice came through: 

"Boss, I admit there's a degree of gambling."

"It's just that without this opening, I wouldn't even have the qualification to talk and befriend him."

Xie Zhulong said bitterly, "If I straightforwardly said I'm a hotel employee wanting to hire two seaplane pilots, he wouldn't even look at me."

"Now, although there is some deception involved, at least I can establish communication and rapport with him first."

"Once we build a deep relationship, the success rate of revealing the true purpose would be at least 50%."

The cheerful atmosphere instantly turned somber.

"It's all my fault for being incompetent," Chen Jianhai's voice was a bit hoarse.

"If my hotel had a bigger reputation and higher status, you wouldn't have to suffer such indignities."

Although Xie Zhulong only spoke a few words, the underlying bitterness could only be truly felt by those involved.

If his hotel were more prestigious, his employees would be more respected,

So, ultimately, it's his own inadequacy.

Xie Zhulong panicked, "Boss, don't say that! It's mainly because my professional skills and personal business abilities aren't strong enough, but I will keep working hard!"

Chen Jianhai also nodded heavily, "I'll work hard too. Let's both do our best!"

After hanging up the phone,

Chen Jianhai lay on the bed, holding his phone.

What just happened with Xie Zhulong had deeply affected him. Not only for himself, but also for his employees, he had to work hard and strive forward!!

So, where should I start?

Chen Jianhai stood by the window, overlooking the surroundings.

Inside and out, the small island hotel was in perfect order: blue roofs, white buildings, green grass, red flowers, full of life.

Overwater villas, sunset bars, fun pools, spa massages, all uniquely charming.

The overwater cinema was still under construction by the luxurious Ocean Star construction company, waiting to surface.

Employees were diligent, guests polite,

The only tough nut, Bago, had been exiled to the north side of the island, far from people.

Everything was perfect, except for two lonely seaplanes docked on the water.

"Hiss..."

Chen Jianhai inhaled sharply, "I don't have much to strive for here!"

For once, Boss Chen wanted to be ambitious and work hard,

But in less than a minute, reality slapped him back onto the bed.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window, spreading across the floor. Through the white curtains, the distant calm blue sea was visible.

"Xiao Lang is delivering packages,"

"Da Bo is studying recipes,"

"And I'm lying on the bed..."

Chen Jianhai had a peaceful expression, his eyes filled with a serene detachment from the world.

"We all have a bright future."

"Time to sleep!"

...

The development of the Golden Jellyfish Lake progressed rapidly.

Since Chen Jianhai had already built the necessary infrastructure and roads, the area was ready for a "move-in" state.

Staff could start work at any time.

On Xiao Majia Island, the old man in the tank top had already completed the selection of service personnel for the Golden Jellyfish Lake.

For these service personnel, the Nanjiang Tourism Bureau had specially hired a professional teaching team to conduct targeted training for a week.

As for the supermarkets and branded restaurants moving onto the island, they were being renovated at top speed.

They would soon be officially in use.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

During these days, Xie Zhulong was constantly on a business trip to Gouqi City, daily advancing his relationship with Xiong Anping.

Finally, one day, Xie Zhulong's call came again:

"Boss!"

"Brother Xiong's son has allergic asthma. They say island climates are especially effective for asthma. I want to bring Brother Xiong and his family to the island for a couple of days. Is that okay?"

Brother Xiong?

In just a few days, they were calling each other brothers?

Impressive...

"No problem!!" Chen Jianhai immediately agreed:

"The island's accommodations are not tight lately. I'll reserve a nice family suite for him, free of charge."

"Bring him over for a few days of fun."

Xie Zhulong was delighted, "Thank you, boss!!"

Chen Jianhai also laughed, "I should thank you. You've worked hard on this business trip, take care on the road."

Pausing, Chen Jianhai added, "You haven't had a break since you joined the hotel. Come to the island hotel with Xiong Anping and take a vacation yourself."

"Okay, boss!!!"

...

A few days later,

The luxurious Ocean Star cruise ship cut through the waves of Nanjiang, carrying a boatload of tourists towards Xiao Majia Island.

"The climate of Nanjiang is indeed pleasant."

On the deck,

A middle-aged man in his forties looked at the blue sea and the small island tip emerging in the distance, sincerely remarking.

This middle-aged man was well-maintained and dressed impeccably. Despite his age, he had a well-proportioned figure.

Unlike Xu Badie and Xie Zhulong, who had been working out for years and had terrifyingly muscular builds,

He was fit and well-built, a typical handsome uncle.

This was Xiong Anping, the seaplane pilot whom Xie Zhulong had spent considerable effort and emotion befriending.

Xie Zhulong smiled, "Nanjiang, being close to the sea, has a pleasant climate and humid environment. Although it's a bit cool now, it's much better compared to Gouqi City."

"Staying here for a few days will greatly help with Shuai's asthma."

Saying this, they looked back at the little boy on the deck.

The boy was very delicate,

Wearing a small orange life jacket, holding a chocolate cherry cake,

His bright black eyes gazing at the sea, he was nestled obediently beside his mother.

Xiong Anping looked affectionately at Xiong Shuai and smiled, "I've been wanting to take Shuai to a nice place for a few days but couldn't decide where. This Xiao Majia Island is really a good choice!"

"How did you find out there's a hotel on this island?"

Xie Zhulong smiled sheepishly, "Brother Xiong, you don't run marathons, so you don't know. The Nanjiang Marathon was held on this island a few days ago."

"This hotel is excellent in terms of service, facilities, and style!!!"

"Plus, I have a good relationship with the hotel owner. Coming with me, you'll definitely get the best service."

Xiong Anping half-joked, "Can we get a free stay?"

Xie Zhulong nodded confidently, "We really can!"
