Chapter 132: Accepting the Island Hotel Task

Everyone in the conference room followed Wanrong's gaze towards Chen Jianhai.

The young man beside him also looked at Chen Jianhai in confusion.

Dozens of eyes fell on Chen Jianhai.

Even with his thick skin, Chen Jianhai felt uneasy under so many men's gazes.

How did he see through my true identity...!

Chen Jianhai felt his scalp tingle.

He had never met Wanrong and never expected the other to recognize him.

But since Wanrong had already pointed him out, Chen Jianhai couldn't just stay silent.

Following the principle of not losing face, Chen Jianhai took a deep breath, stood up, and said:

"Greetings, everyone. I am Chen Jianhai from Langai Hotel, which just joined the association today. I'm delighted to meet all of you."

Instantly, he activated both the **Affable** and **Favorable** buffs!

A friendly and modest aura emanated from him.

Businesspeople have various temperaments. Some are domineering, some quietly make fortunes, and some like to talk endlessly with little truth in their words.

Chen Jianhai's humble and gentle demeanor didn't provoke anyone's resentment.

However, many still looked at him with amusement, curious to see what insights this newcomer, pulled out by Wanrong, would offer.

"Ding~"

Just as Chen Jianhai was pondering what to say to break the awkwardness, a familiar voice rang in his head.

"System task issued."

"Task requirement: The host must own a hotel on the island."

"Task description: A tropical island, a slow-paced life, fresh and humid air, clear and bright seawater, free sea fishing, the Starry Jellyfish Lake, snorkeling in the world of colorful fish and coral. Vacation is not only a spontaneous celebration but also a mental retreat."

"Traditional overwater villas, stilt villas, private tropical gardens, and private blue coast island villas are warmly open."

"With a spa center, yoga, Pilates, meditation pavilions, and swimming pools, there's always something to keep people happy."

"Sunlight fills every room, green tropical plants stand tall and graceful, and the brilliance of the entire island and sea is painted vividly."

"Task reward: Upon completing the island hotel, the host can exchange activity points for a private island hotel-exclusive airplane and yacht."

"Please accept the task within 30 seconds. If the time limit is exceeded, it will be automatically deemed as a refusal."

"Note: If this task is declined, the island hotel exchange page will be unavailable, and limited items cannot be exchanged. Please choose carefully."

"Agree! I accept!" Chen Jianhai accepted the task without hesitation when he saw the private plane and yacht.

Then,

A huge system panel appeared in front of him, with a locked icon flashing blue. 

With a "click," 

the lock opened,

revealing an icon of a small island house.

But this wasn't the time to look at icons. Chen Jianhai quickly closed the panel with a thought,

"Why issue the task now of all times!"

Chen Jianhai was speechless at the system's timing.

However, if it were normal circumstances, finding and assessing an island suitable for building a hotel would indeed be difficult.

Considering the location, market, and island environment requires extensive work and preparation.

But now, Xiaomajia Island was right in front of him,

and a group of old smokers was watching him intently.

Might as well take the plunge.

I'll take the task of Xiaomajia Island!

…

From the system issuing the task to Chen Jianhai making up his mind, not much time had passed.

Wanrong and the others watched Chen Jianhai's bewildered and changing expressions with amusement.

They were all seasoned hoteliers.

A few words and they could easily pass the matter like a hot potato.

But watching the newcomer's awkwardness was quite entertaining.

"So young," Wanrong sighed inwardly.

When he pointed out Chen Jianhai, he genuinely wanted to hear his thoughts.

He even hoped Chen Jianhai might take on the task.

But now…

Sigh!

Just as Wanrong was about to help Chen Jianhai out of the situation, Chen Jianhai spoke.

"I've been to Xiaomajia Island, and the scenery is beautiful."

"Snorkeling is great, and the fish are delicious."

"I'm a newcomer and don't have as much experience in hotel management as you seniors. I'm still learning step by step."

"If you all trust me, I'm willing to build a hotel on Xiaomajia Island."

Chen Jianhai humbly and calmly finished speaking and sat back down.

The room fell silent.

Everyone looked at Chen Jianhai in disbelief.

Build a hotel on Xiaomajia Island?

Is he crazy?

The money to build a hotel on Xiaomajia Island could build a five-star hotel in Nanjiang.

And didn't you just finish renovating and opening a new hotel?

Shouldn't you be managing your new hotel well and recouping some costs during the holiday season?

Yet you're planning to spend money on a new hotel.

Can you handle such a big operation?

"Mr. Chen, you said you want to build a hotel on Xiaomajia Island?" One of the hotel owners who had been the most vocal asked in disbelief.

"I had the idea of building a hotel on an island, but never had the opportunity. If the president and all of you trust me, I'm very interested in building a hotel on Xiaomajia Island."

Chen Jianhai nodded earnestly.

Hearing this,

the expressions of the attendees became colorful.

Some even held back laughter,

their eyes saying: Young and naive!

The environment of Xiaomajia Island was challenging. Many experienced hoteliers wouldn't dare to take the risk.

Yet this newcomer dared?

Someone once tried building a hotel on Xiaomajia Island,

Even now,

The ruins of that hotel still stand on the island. Local fishermen passing by the ruins glare at it, wishing they could stab the idiot responsible with their fish spears.

With this precedent, you still dare to try?

"What's your plan for building the hotel?" Wanrong asked.

"No plan." Chen Jianhai answered honestly.

He had just received the system task and hadn't done any real assessment of Xiaomajia Island. How could he have a plan?

Besides,

building the hotel is my business. Why should I explain it to you?

Wanrong was surprised, "No plan or design, and you dare to build a hotel?"

Building a hotel is completely different from renovating one!

Everything must start from scratch. One mistake, and it could end up like the previous ruins.

"It's simple."

"If there's a mountain, build a road; if there's water, build a bridge."

"Seafood is best when fresh, right?"
