Chapter 34: The Fun Festival Officially Begins!

Chen Jianhai was also shocked.

The potatoes in the hands of the knife block had turned into cakes today, and he was carving patterns on them according to the recipe.

Every detail, from the patterns on the small shells to the waves on the rocks, was carved with his kitchen knife.

What shocked Chen Jianhai the most,

was that the entire hotel kitchen had been transformed into the Krusty Krab restaurant.

In the center of the kitchen, Mr. Krabs' portrait hung high on the wall,

next to the window were SpongeBob's work stickers,

and the walls were covered with Krabby Patty Fruit Posters.

Even the kitchen staff's uniforms had been changed to SpongeBob themes.

However, the kitchen staff didn't have the extra energy to appreciate these decorations.

Now, everyone in the kitchen was working double time.

They were fully focused on preparing food for the Dolphin Bubble Fun Festival.

Xu Bo was in charge of kneading dough, the prep cooks were preparing ingredients, the knife block was handling the carving, and the bakers were doing the final baking.

The entire process was almost like a factory assembly line.

The speed was astonishing to Chen Jianhai.

But what reassured him was,

the hotel's regular dining services were still being prepared as usual, ensuring that guests and staff wouldn't miss their meals due to the festival.

"It's really strange, I feel like my cooking skills have improved a lot today. I made so many dolphin doughs without a single mishap."

The baker was puzzled but excited.

"Me too!"

"Ever since the boss announced the Bubble Fun Festival, my knife skills have improved significantly."

"It feels like I've gained a buff."

The knife block quickly carved an octopus and played with a knife flower.

Instantly, the comments exploded again!

All praising the knife block's skills.

Watching the rockets and yachts being sent by viewers in the comments,

there was a "smack" sound,

and a plump, white dough was slammed onto the table, wobbling pitifully.

Chen Jianhai was startled.

Looking up,

he saw Xu Bo with a dark face, staring at the comments, twisting the dough in his hands into a pretzel!

"Why do I feel like the focus of this live stream has shifted..."

Chen Jianhai looked at the comments, puzzled.

It seemed everyone's attention was inexplicably drawn to the bakers, the knife block, the prep cooks, and the dishwashers,

while the main chef,

the "Crazy Noodle King" Johnny, who was tirelessly pulling noodles, was gradually being ignored, for reasons unknown.

...

All morning,

Chen Jianhai meticulously inspected the entire hotel inside and out.

The system had designated a large children's play area in the backyard, with small slides and sandcastles.

The hotel's exterior was perfectly themed.

Every guest room window was adorned with small dolphin and bubble balloons, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The most shocking,

were the students from Nanjing Tourism Vocational College who arrived by school bus "for work," looking indifferent last night.

When they saw the hotel's new decorations and equipment, they were all dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe that the hotel, which looked normal yesterday, had undergone such a drastic transformation overnight!

Isn't this a bit too much?!

Even building houses in games with in-app purchases isn't this extravagant.

And from what Chen Jianhai said, these exquisite decorations and facilities would only be used for 7 days.

After 7 days, everything would return to its original state,

burning money like this is unheard of.

In an instant, Chen Jianhai's image became even more mysterious and wealthy in everyone's eyes.

Thinking back to their disdainful attitude during the meeting yesterday, they realized how childish they had been!

Although they tried to control themselves,

when they saw the cake tower, pirate ship dining cars, slides, moving soft target ranges, and various play items, they all broke down!!!

To hell with pride and reserve!!!

No wonder Chen Jianhai emphasized not competing with the kids for playtime during the meeting yesterday,

who could resist this!

Is this a hotel?!

It's clearly an amusement park!!

Who isn't a 200-month-old baby!

Everyone changed into the festival-specific uniforms and took advantage of the time before the tour group guests arrived to take pictures in the hotel.

Chen Jianhai noticed this but didn't stop them.

After all, he wasn't much older than these students and had a playful nature himself.

Instead of suppressing them now, it was better to let his employees familiarize themselves with the props and their uses, so they could guide the guests when they arrived.

"Bai Cheng, you guys come over here."

Chen Jianhai waved at the four girls by the whale guessing bite machine.

The girls quickly ran over,

their faces red like apples, looking extremely happy.

"Boss, what's up?" Bai Cheng asked.

"I have an important task for you," Chen Jianhai said.

????

Four question marks appeared above the girls' heads as they curiously stared at Chen Jianhai.

"This is the prop exchange machine."

Chen Jianhai pointed to a machine that looked like an ice cream vending machine or an arcade machine.

"This machine has three types of props."

"The most basic is the Dolphin Bubble Gun, which can be exchanged for four small dolphin pendants."

"Four Dolphin Bubble Guns can be exchanged for a Jellyfish Bubble Gun or a Shark Bubble Gun."

"Your task is to collect the small dolphin pendants and distribute the corresponding bubble guns to the kids."

The four girls nodded without hesitation.

The boss says, we do!

On the other side, the receptionist also ran over,

"Boss, the rooms are all allocated."

"Floors one to three are for families with children from the tour group, and floors four and five are for other guests."

"There will be no disturbance to other guests' rest."

Chen Jianhai went to the computer and confirmed the room distribution and arrangements, nodding in satisfaction.

Everything was ready,

just waiting for the guests!

Chen Jianhai cleared his throat, picked up the microphone, and took a deep breath:

"All Langai Hotel staff!"

All the employees stood in place, over 200 pairs of eyes fixed on Chen Jianhai.

"Please return to your workstations and be ready with full spirit and enthusiasm!"

"The seven-day limited Dolphin Bubble Fun Festival is now officially open!"

"Yes, boss!"

The vast hotel staff, with one command, all rushed to their workstations.

...

Meanwhile,

eight minibusses were driving along the coast towards Langai Hotel.

Each minibus was filled with families, the children's voices were noisy, but most of them were leaning out of the windows, excitedly looking at the sea.

Everyone was very happy and full of anticipation for this vacation.

Except for the tour guide...

Ning Youyou sat in the passenger seat of the first bus, worried.

This was a collective activity for a kindergarten class,

their travel agency had worked hard to secure this business, hoping to establish a long-term cooperation with the kindergarten through this event.

But who would have thought the originally arranged hotel would go out of business?!!

Not only that,

but the hotel's owner supposedly ran off with all the money.

Now the hotel was just an empty shell, nothing left.

Ning Youyou was almost in tears.

But there was no choice, the contract was signed.

If there are conditions, we go; if there are no conditions, we create conditions and still go!

Time was too tight,

she didn't have the time or energy to find a hotel and negotiate discounts and activities.

The main thing was to find a hotel that could accommodate so many people.

But maybe she was lucky,

she actually managed to book a hotel.

"Langai Hotel, please, you better be decent,"

"Give the kids a break..."

Hearing Ning Youyou's muttering, the cool driver in sunglasses spoke up.

"A hundred-pound kid?"

"Shut up!"

"Hehe."

The cool driver in sunglasses chuckled,

driving a bus full of kids towards Langai Hotel.
