"Do you need to change your shoes before we go?"
After taking a few steps, Chen Jianhai suddenly stopped and pointed to Wen Zifan's high heels, asking.
Although he had never worn them, the online complaints about these shoes were significant. At best, they were described as beautiful and elegant high heels. In reality, they were considered instruments of torture.
Some women, after wearing them for a day, ended up with bleeding and blistered feet, to the point they couldn't even walk and needed to be carried.
Although it only took 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to Tide Park, Wen Zifan's delicate legs might not manage in such high heels.
"No need to change, they're just shoes."
Wen Zifan casually flipped her long black hair, her amber-colored eyes looking at Chen Jianhai like a captivating enchantress.
Chen Jianhai shivered and felt his scalp tingle.
Something was definitely off.
Why was this perfectly normal girl acting so strangely?
He wanted to remind her to act normally, like a dependable man, and to be her usual self as "Fan Ge."
But as a male leader, it was awkward to say such things.
"Let's go, boss."
Seeing Chen Jianhai's distracted look, Wen Zifan kindly reminded him,
"Alright, let's go."
Chen Jianhai braced himself and led Wen Zifan out of the hotel.
...
The winter in Nanjiang was pleasantly comfortable.
It didn't have the unbearable heat of summer, nor the scorching temperatures.
The evening sun cast a golden, misty veil over the coconut trees along the coastal road, with specks of sunlight filtering through the leaves and dotting the pavement.
"Look at those two, they're so tall!"
"Wow, how much money does that guy have for that girl to be with him..."
"Yeah, she's a great girl. Why would she be interested in him?"
Chen Jianhai walked along with a scowl, listening to the gossiping passersby, feeling a deep sense of regret!
Had he known this would happen, he wouldn't have worn his big shorts with the Huluwa design today.
Wen Zifan was dressed in a caramel-colored chiffon blouse paired with light-colored suit pants. Her long, silky black hair accentuated her bright, fair skin, making her look both professional and gentle.
And he...
Looked like a spoiled rich kid who knew nothing but how to indulge in food and play.
In reality, when he wore a shirt, leather shoes, and a suit, he looked quite dashing too!
"You ignorant people with no taste..."
"What do you mean she likes me... I'm her boss, got it!!!"
Chen Jianhai roared internally.
"Everything she eats, wears, and uses is bought with the salary I pay her!!"
"None of you recognize quality!!"
But then, Chen Jianhai suddenly paused.
Wait a minute!
Wasn't he contradicting himself?
By his own logic,
If he weren't Wen Zifan's boss, and if he didn't own two hotels, Wen Zifan definitely wouldn't be walking beside him.
…!!!
"Boss, why did you stop?" Wen Zifan's voice, like a gentle breeze, echoed in his ear.
"Nothing, let's go." Chen Jianhai dejectedly kicked a small stone on the road and continued toward Tide Park.
Wen Zifan's amber eyes briefly glanced at Chen Jianhai,
wondering why he was fine one moment and then moody the next.
She really couldn't understand what he was thinking,
Sigh… Men~
...
For this year's Nanjiang Beer Festival, the city had set up 14 beer tents.
The best themed tent location was naturally the one at Xiao Caishen's amusement park.
As the main sponsor of the Nanjiang Beer Festival, Xiao Caishen's beer tent was set up directly in the fantasy sea amusement park in Nanjiang City. The entire tent could accommodate thousands of people.
Stepping out of the tent, visitors could enjoy the city's largest Ferris wheel, pirate ship, giant pendulum, carousel, deep-sea surfing, and other entertainment facilities, allowing them to drink and play to their heart's content!
Next to the fantasy sea amusement park was the five-star hotel themed beer tent at Tide Park.
Tide Park was the best place in Nanjiang City to watch the sunrise and sunset and served as a natural bathing beach. The beach was filled with visitors running, splashing, and playing in the sand.
As soon as they arrived at Tide Park,
Chen Jianhai looked at the bikinis and passionate figures all over the beach and muttered,
"In such a great place, why set up a five-star hotel beer tent!!"
"This should be a bikini-themed beer tent!!"
What a waste of such a prime spot!!!
If Chen Jianhai were in charge, he would definitely set up an open-air beer tent on the beach, where guests could dress casually.
Happy drinkers in the tent could run out to the beach to sunbathe and splash in the waves whenever they wanted.
Energetic DJ music with pulsating drumbeats,
The foam of the beer mixed with the sweat from the bikinis, flowing freely between the sand and the tent,
The enthusiasm would definitely stir up the entire coastal road!
The association missed the mark on this one…!!!
Seeing Chen Jianhai's look of regret,
Wen Zifan calmly poured a bucket of cold water over his dreams.
"Don't worry, boss."
"If we really had a bikini-themed beer tent, not a single woman would come."
"It would end up being a bunch of men in swim trunks, sweating and squeezing together, drinking face to face."
In an instant,
Wen Zifan's words shattered all of Chen Jianhai's beautiful visions.
His dream was shattered.
"Are you a demon!!"
Chen Jianhai glanced at Wen Zifan, his heart crying out in anguish!
...
The five-star hotel beer tent wasn't set up on the beach but on a large, paved square.
Every evening at 6 PM, this place turned into a square dance venue for the residents of Nanjiang's coastal area, and the space was ample.
"I have to say, this beer tent is quite impressive."
Chen Jianhai's eyes were filled with surprise.
Compared to the iron pipes used in previous years, this year's beer tent was made of wooden slats, intricate and sturdy, looking more like a beautiful little house.
There was a small staircase at the entrance.
The stair railings were brick-red, the pillars green, and the brown wooden steps had striking yellow stripes.
Inside the tent,
Scattered people, seemingly hotel staff from various establishments, were planning how to set up their own dining areas.
Apart from them,
many workers were busy inside, arranging thick, sturdy wooden dining tables and chairs.
"The city really invested a lot this year!" Chen Jianhai remarked.
In previous beer festivals, Nanjiang City usually provided plastic one-piece tables and chairs. While those were sturdy, they were quite uncomfortable.
Thin customers might not mind, but slightly larger ones would definitely feel cramped.
Wen Zifan added, "The association's tent may not match Xiao Caishen's amusement park, but it can still accommodate 5,000 people, making it a large tent."
"Our area is over here."
Saying this, Wen Zifan led the way to the middle-left section of the tent.
