Chapter 66: The Opportunity Has Come

Tourism Vocational School of Nanjiang City

In the Student Union office building, at the Publicity Department, Zhao An, with two large dark circles under his eyes, threw his mouse on the desk and exclaimed, "Done! Mission accomplished!"

Looking around, he saw his classmates either collapsed on their desks, fast asleep, or sprawled out on sofas, mouths wide open, completely passed out.

Only one comrade behind him, wearing headphones and adjusting the sound, was still diligently working on the post-production.

It was already 6:30 AM, and the campus broadcast had started playing music.

Yawning and rubbing his stiff neck, Zhao An stood up, feeling a sharp pain in his lower back and spine. He patted his headphone-wearing comrade and pointed outside.

"Let's go for a walk."

The two of them quietly walked out of the dormitory and stood in the hallway by the window, enjoying the cold breeze, which made them feel much more awake.

"Your idea is absolutely brilliant!"

Despite looking exhausted, Zhao An's comrade was mentally exhilarated.

"I have a feeling that your Easter egg will definitely go viral! The visuals, pacing, and everything else are perfect! Where did you get the inspiration?"

Hearing this, Zhao An's bloodshot eyes sparkled.

"I was already thinking about it while carrying the camera on my way. We've shot too many traditional promotional videos before; this time, I wanted to do something different."

Talking about it, Zhao An was clearly very pleased with his decision, and his voice grew louder.

"The hotel staff are mostly our seniors, so we're familiar with them. This natural relationship made filming a lot smoother. But I never expected the hotel owner, Chen, to agree to appear on camera, and the results turned out so well!"

His headphone-wearing comrade nodded, recalling the scene where Chen Jianhai looked completely bewildered, contrasting sharply with the smiling staff around him. They both couldn't help but laugh.

"But what about that Easter egg? We can't put it in the school's recruitment video, right?" the comrade asked.

"I've already thought about it," Zhao An replied confidently. "I'll upload the video to QILI Video. P1 will be the official version, and P2 will be the Easter egg. If the Easter egg doesn't get popular… well, nobody watches P2 anyway, so it's fine. But if it does go viral, maybe we can even start our own travel planning studio. As long as it breaks through, everything else will follow."

The comrade nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll go back and work on the audio and voiceover. Even though you've finished the initial filming, I still have a lot of post-production work to do."

"OK, I'll go get breakfast for everyone, and we'll continue working when I get back," Zhao An said.

Lang Ai Hotel

"Good morning, boss~"

At the service desk, Qin Mengqiu's sweet voice rang out, making everyone feel comfortable. Chen Jianhai smiled and nodded in response, "Good morning!" before turning to his office.

Although Chen liked to sit in the glass atrium Greek sea view hall of the hotel and drink coffee, he always started his day in his office, handling work matters before heading to the hall for leisure.

Especially since yesterday, a customer had booked a Sword Immortal-themed proposal. Today, he had to buy props from the system mall and set up the hotel accordingly.

To be honest, if this were a mountain-view hotel, a cultivation-themed wedding might fit. But in a seaside hotel, having a Sword Immortal wedding… it sounds absurd! Chen Jianhai began to doubt his decision for the first time.

He feared the wedding might not turn out well and could even ruin the hotel's atmosphere, making it counterproductive.

Just as Chen Jianhai was second-guessing himself, a "ding dong" sounded, and a private message popped up on his computer screen.

Wang Chao Changye: "Are you there?"

Chen Jianhai: "Yes, I am."

Wang Chao Changye: "No need to set up the hotel for me. I'm not proposing anymore."

Chen Jianhai: "???"

He spent five figures on a deposit last night and now says he's not proposing? What's going on?

Wang Chao Changye: "Last night, she proposed to me, and I accepted. We're flying back home to discuss the wedding arrangements, so we won't be needing the engagement setup at your hotel."

Chen Jianhai was stunned for a while, rereading the message. They were going back home for the wedding? Was Wang Chao Changye a foreigner?

But what about the deposit? Chen quickly replied:

"Congratulations! But the hotel can't refund the deposit. How about converting it into a credit for future stays? You can check in anytime by just mentioning your name."

Wang Chao Changye: "That's fine. Thank you for bringing me good luck. I'll definitely stay at your hotel in the future."

With that, the chat ended, and the user logged off.

"Phew…"

Chen Jianhai let out a long sigh of relief. To be honest, when he learned the engagement was canceled, he felt a sense of crisis averted.

"Ring ring~"

Just then, his phone rang.

"Hello, this is Nanjiang Broad Sea Seafood Company. Am I speaking with Chen Jianhai, the owner of Lang Ai Hotel?"

A gentle and enthusiastic female voice came through the phone.

Chen was taken aback. Nanjiang Broad Sea Seafood Company… the largest seafood company in Nanjiang City? Why were they calling him?

"Yes, that's me. How can I help you?" Chen Jianhai asked.

"Mr. Chen, we saw your wedding-themed promotion online and are very interested. We'd like to visit your hotel tomorrow to learn more. Are you available tomorrow evening?"

Chen Jianhai's expression changed from confusion to curiosity, then excitement, and back to confusion.

"I'm available."

"Great, see you tomorrow evening, Mr. Chen."

After hanging up, Chen Jianhai sat down, hands trembling as he pulled out a cigarette and put it to his lips.

Opportunity,

Opportunity!

An opportunity has come!

With bloodshot eyes, Chen Jianhai was in a state of excitement.

The Wang family's eldest daughter from Nanjiang Broad Sea Seafood Company was getting married and choosing a hotel for the wedding. The invitation had even reached his hands! Tomorrow evening, the Wang family would visit the hotel to see the wedding setup and arrangements. Chen took a trembling drag of his cigarette.

If he could secure this wedding, not only would he complete his tasks, but he might also solve future seafood supply issues for the hotel!

"But… the hotel's hardware isn't up to par!"

Amid the smoke, Chen Jianhai's face showed a look of contemplation.

Even though his hotel had developed rapidly, he knew very well that it couldn't compete with established and new five-star hotels in terms of facilities.

But the opportunity was right in front of him. Win or lose, he had to give it a try! Since the hardware wasn't sufficient, he'd have to focus on other aspects!

A determined look flashed in Chen Jianhai's eyes.

He stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, walked out of the office without saying a word, and
