Chapter 193: Hidden Achievement: Universal Acclaim

Upon hearing the command "dismissed," the employees quickly found their way to the dormitory and employee lounge by following the floor layout and emergency route maps in the lobby.

"Wow! This dress is so beautiful!"

Opening the cabinet in the employee lounge, Bai Cheng found a brand-new uniform inside. The uniform was made of pure linen, breathable and cool, with the skirt length reaching just below the calf, making it both attractive and practical without risking exposure while working. The shoes were also replaced with soft-soled, comfortable, and cool lightweight fabric shoes that felt incredibly soft to walk in.

"These shoes are so comfortable! I'm going to wear them out for a walk later!"

The roommate with golden-framed glasses happily stomped in the fabric shoes and even bounced on the spot.

"Me too, me too! I want to wear this too!!"

The parrot-like roommate nodded eagerly, picking up a small cloth to meticulously wipe the cabinet.

"The cabinet here is so clean, not a speck of dust."

"It seems like it has already been cleaned."

The parrot-like roommate, puzzled by the clean cloth, asked, "Did the boss do this?"

"Impossible!" Bai Cheng waved her left index finger. "I've been at the hotel for a long time. Apart from the first time I saw the boss making a bed, I've never seen him lift a finger."

"True."

After tidying up the employee lounge, they put their luggage in the dormitory and eagerly ran to check out the guest rooms. 

The four girls didn't have much concept of luxury brands; they weren't familiar with big names in lamps, TVs, sliding doors, bathtubs, and bedding. However, they were very knowledgeable about things like shower gel, face wash, hair dryers, and shampoo!

"Oh my god, the boss really splurged on this expensive shampoo."

"Even this small sample bottle is pricey."

"This soap smells so good…"

"Wow! I read online that this hair dryer emits negative ions, which is good for both hair and skin. Can I sneak one home?"

...

Within an hour, all the hotel employees had gone out to have fun. Shengyupian and his team were busy preparing dinner and didn't have time to join in the fun. They bustled in the new kitchen, killing fish, boiling soup, and preparing various dishes. Fortunately, Chen Jianhai had the foresight to spend points to hire a cargo ship to deliver supplies to the island, ensuring a steady supply of fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, grains, and oils.

Meanwhile, Chen Jianhai lay idly on the terrace of the luxurious suite, daydreaming. 

"Ding ding."

The phone rang, and Chen Jianhai saw a message from Ning Youyou with a design draft.

"Mr. Chen, this is the final design. If you agree, we'll replace the current promotional materials tomorrow. Guests could start arriving at the private resort the day after tomorrow."

Chen Jianhai enlarged the design draft and carefully reviewed it before typing a message: "Looks good, thanks for your hard work, Youyou."

Sending the message, Chen Jianhai's eyes sparkled with excitement. In just a few days, his island hotel would officially open for business. The thought thrilled him!

...

Meanwhile, a large tour group of 200 people flooded the local tourism market on the island.

"This island is so beautiful; it's like paradise!"

"Yeah, these fishbone souvenirs are so exquisite!"

"Ah! The cinema here is showing 'Laughing Hero'! I've always wanted to see it but never had the time. Let's go watch it!"

"Sure, you get the tickets, and I'll buy snacks and drinks!"

Looking around, the island's busiest street was bustling with activity. Dozens of people lined up to buy lottery tickets, the conifer cherries at the fruit shop sold out quickly, and the Ice King ice cream shop had a line that stretched around the corner. The island was filled with laughter and joy, except for the coffee shop, where Feng Di stood alone outside, feeling the chill of the thriving business around him.

Xiaomajia Island wasn't large, and by the end of the afternoon, the employees had explored nearly every corner of it. They walked back to the hotel, barefoot on the white sand, as the slanting sunlight illuminated the white building. The hotel's lights were on, and despite the unfamiliar surroundings, just seeing that light made them feel at home, knowing there was a quirky boss waiting for them inside.

"Click! Click! Click!" Bai Cheng's phone captured the scenery, and she posted it in the hotel's employee gossip group. 

At this time in the Lang Ai Hotel, it was when guests were out for dinner, strolls, and relaxation, the busiest time for the hotel staff. It was likely not until after 9 PM that the other employees would have time to rest and check their phones.

Back at the hotel, Chen Jianhai stood in the lobby, holding a sign-in book, personally overseeing the check-in process. He checked each person's name and appearance before allowing them to go to the dining hall.

This process allowed him to familiarize himself with the new employees, learning their names and faces. Despite his laziness, he was diligent in this area. If he couldn't even recognize his employees, he might as well run a small convenience store instead of a hotel.

"Alright! Everyone's here, let's eat."

...

Since everyone dined together, by 7:30 PM, all the employees had finished dinner. Bai Cheng and the other girls even washed the fruits they had bought in the afternoon and shared them as a post-meal treat.

After dinner, Chen Jianhai took the lead in cleaning up, with the employees following suit, wiping tables and washing dishes, allowing Shengyupian and the kitchen staff to rest.

"Let's go, they can handle it," Chen Jianhai patted Shengyupian on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

"Yeah, Brother Fish Fillet, we've explored the island, and you've been busy all day. Let's go for a walk," an employee suggested while cleaning the kitchen.

"Yeah! Let's go, I'll show you around," Chen Jianhai said, and without waiting for their agreement, he dragged Shengyupian and the others out of the hotel.

He had heard about the island's bar for a long time but never had the chance to visit, as he always had to return to the Lang Ai Hotel by boat at night. Tonight was the perfect opportunity to check it out with Shengyupian and the others.

"This hotel is so beautiful…" Shengyupian murmured, gazing at the scenery.

The sun was setting, and the horizon was a gradient of soft orange to deep orange, with the sky gradually darkening into a blue-black. Stars began to twinkle, and the distant cruise ship lit up, quietly sailing on the sea. The occasional sound of a ship's horn added to the sense of returning home.

"See, it's beautiful outside," Chen Jianhai said, striking a knowledgeable pose. "The island is too hot during the day, but it's perfect at night! Let's go! I've heard there's a great bar on the island. Drinks are on me!"

Whistling cheerfully, Chen Jianhai led the way, the lights casting his shadow on the sparkling white sand. Shengyupian and the others watched him, stunned by what they heard.

Noticing they were still standing, Chen Jianhai turned and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on unlocking the gold-level personal hidden achievement 'Universal Acclaim': receiving high praise from all employees on the first day of the new store's opening."

"Host has gained the personal ability: Motivation!"
