Chapter 43: What's Going On in This Live Room

Although he said that, Chen Jianhai couldn't bear to let his employees work overtime.

Just kidding, overtime pay costs money too!

He had already lost several tens of thousands of yuan and absolutely couldn't afford to lose any more. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss.

Bored and lying in bed, Chen Jianhai couldn't fall asleep. With nothing better to do, he opened the live streaming app on his phone and typed in "Crazy Noodle King" to see how the kitchen was doing and to check on Xu Bo's popularity.

Sure enough, the first search result was the live room Chen Jianhai had set up for Xu Bo. But right after it was another live room named "Knife King."

Chen Jianhai's pupils contracted as he saw the note: "Chief Chopper of Long Ai Five-Star Hotel!"

"What's going on?"

Chen Jianhai was stunned. He clicked on it, and wow! The host was really the chopper from the kitchen! And the live room's popularity was quite high.

The real-time viewership reached 90,000, with the screen filled with bullet comments and flying gifts.

In Chen Jianhai's shocked gaze, the chopper's honest voice echoed in the live room:

"If you like watching me chop potatoes, press 1. If you like watching me decorate cakes, press 2!"

"If you like neither and just want to see me, press 666."

Whoosh! The screen was filled with 666, with rockets, ships, big red lips, and sparklers exploding on the page.

Chen Jianhai was dumbfounded.

I started this live room to boost Xu Bo's popularity. What's going on with the chopper's live room?! Where's Xu Bo?!

Chen Jianhai hurriedly switched to Xu Bo's live room. Instantly, the style shifted: cold, quiet, desolate…

It looked as bleak as Long Ai Hotel six months ago. On the screen, there were only hands kneading and stretching dough repeatedly.

Comments were sparse.

After a while, a bullet comment appeared on the screen: "I can't watch this anymore. Chopping vegetables next door is more exciting! Brothers, see you in the Knife King's live room!"

The comment rolled past, and the viewer count dropped by one.

"Following from next door, stretching dough is too boring, goodbye."

The viewer count dropped by 29.

"What is going on…"

Chen Jianhai felt a bit of a headache.

By the afternoon, Chen Jianhai finally felt better, able to free himself from the control of the toilet and become a person who could move around freely.

After getting out of bed, the first thing he did was take a walk around the hotel. Initially, he worried about employees slacking off, but after this round, he saw happy guests playing in front of every amusement machine, cake tower, swimming pool, and competition area.

Children's voices chirped throughout the hotel.

Although a bit noisy, it wasn't annoying. Instead, it felt like being in an amusement park. The hotel employees were full of energy, each like a fully charged engine, eager to do the work of three people.

Their enthusiasm and hard work lit up the entire hotel.

"Bastards… good job!"

Chen Jianhai felt extremely moved.

Your full recovery was bought with my money! At least you have a conscience and know to work hard.

Chen Jianhai smiled outwardly but cried inwardly.

"Boss!"

Suddenly, a reception desk girl ran up to him.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jianhai asked.

"Boss, someone is looking for you. She said she's from a travel agency and wants to discuss a collaboration with you."

The reception girl spoke sweetly.

"A travel agency?"

Chen Jianhai was puzzled, "Where is she?"

The reception girl said, "She left her phone number. I'll contact her now."

After speaking, she took out a small note from the drawer and dialed a number.

In no time, Ning Youyou hurried out of her room and rushed to the hotel office.

She had been playing with her new jellyfish bubble gun by the pool when she got a call from the front desk saying Chen Jianhai wanted to see her urgently.

In a hurry, she rushed back to her room to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

"I wonder what the owner of this hotel looks like."

Ning Youyou was full of anticipation.

A person capable of hosting such a free and joyful special event and introducing so many novel games and foods must be someone with great courage, decisiveness, and positive energy!

If she could collaborate with such a person, it would greatly benefit her travel agency's development!

Even if they couldn't collaborate, it would be worth it to make a friend~

However, her anticipation was quickly shattered.

"Ms. Ning, this is our boss, Mr. Chen."

The reception girl warmly introduced Ning Youyou to Chen Jianhai.

It's you?! You were looking for me?!

Although they didn't speak, their eye contact was full of subtext.

Ning Youyou was incredulous.

The decisive, courageous, and positive person she imagined was actually that sly coward who punched old folks and kicked kids?!

This… this can't be real, right?!

Chen Jianhai was also bewildered but then suddenly understood.

So, she is the travel agency leader. No wonder she could command all the kids that day!

The atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward.

However, Chen Jianhai was quick to react. He stood up, extended his hand, and warmly said:

"Hello, I'm Chen Jianhai, the owner of Long Ai Hotel. How can I help you?"

In an instant, his [Affability] skill was precisely released!

Ning Youyou was stunned. This person didn't seem like the one she saw at the pool and pirate ship that day. She couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.

Anyway, when Chen Jianhai appeared as the hotel owner, she found him incredibly friendly and warm, giving an indescribable sense of trust, making her want to get closer.

Switching gears quickly, Ning Youyou extended her hand and shook his.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Ning Youyou from Blue Sky Travel Agency."

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Ning. Please, have a seat."

Chen Jianhai warmly invited Ning Youyou to sit on the sofa, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to her, asking,

"Ms. Ning, what brings you here?"

Ning Youyou was taken aback by his enthusiasm but decided to get straight to the point,

"Mr. Chen, our travel agency specializes in holiday and student group travel packages for all age groups. After our research and understanding, your hotel fits our collaboration standards perfectly."

"We'd like to sign a long-term contract with you to make your hotel our designated partner."

"Are you interested in collaborating?"
