Chapter 147: The Cunning Group Admin

Evening, 6:00 PM.

At the island pier.

"Thank you, Huluwawa! Come back when you have time!"

Grandpa Hanshan and a group of islanders stood at the pier, waving at Chen Jianhai.

"Goodbye!" Chen Jianhai waved until they became tiny black dots, then sat back on the boat.

"Mr. Chen, how did you get along so well with the islanders?" The tour guide, Xiaoxia, looked at Chen Jianhai in shock, his eyes filled with questions.

Chen Jianhai had only come twice with him. The first time, no one even paid attention to him. How come the second time, so many people came to see him off? This is unscientific!

Chen Jianhai said calmly, "Maybe it's my personal charm."

After speaking, Chen Jianhai looked deeply into the distant sea, leaving Xiaoxia with a lonely and melancholic side profile.

Xiaoxia: ...

Just as Xiaoxia was about to turn and return to his seat, the "lonely and melancholic side profile" suddenly turned back.

"Is your travel agency collaborating with the coffee shop on the island?"

Xiaoxia nodded, stunned, "Yes."

"But that coffee shop's coffee isn't very good. I heard an Ice King is about to open on the island. Our agency is considering changing partners."

"Okay, got it."

The "lonely and melancholic side profile" turned again, looking deeply into the distant sea.

...

Back at the hotel.

Chen Jianhai quickly went inside, locked the door, took off his clothes, and jumped into the shower—all in one go! Four minutes later, he stood in front of the mirror, tearing open a face mask and clumsily sticking it on his face.

This was also recommended by Bai Cheng. It's called a hydrating and repairing mask. He was told to keep it in the refrigerator and put it on his face directly after a day out in the sun. It was supposed to feel very refreshing.

"Ahhhh!"

"Refreshing!"

The cool mask felt so good on his face that Chen Jianhai shivered all over. Carefully sticking the mask on, he looked at his sticky hands and, being too lazy to rinse them, wiped them on his body. When he had wiped them clean, he walked into the bedroom and lay down.

Nothing beats the bed! Even though he had gotten quite a tan today, he gained a satisfaction point from the island, which was a great achievement overall.

"I wonder if I can get into the group now..."

Thinking this, Chen Jianhai messaged Lao Yan again, asking him to pull him into the group. This time it was quick.

After about ten minutes, his phone buzzed with a message:

"Group owner 'Jian Kufu' has approved your request. You have joined the group chat 'One Big Happy Family.'"

Shanghua Pingyu: "Who took the flowers I had at the store entrance?! [Angry] Was it you, @Tedahao Lajiao?"

Tedahao Lajiao: "Why would I take your flowers?! My store is full of cauliflower. Why would I take yours?! [Spit]"

Weilai Wodetian: "Fireworks at the beach in ten minutes, only for twenty minutes. Come quickly if you want to see!"

GERORO: "Can't we just buy a few trash cans? It's more tiring dragging trash bags than picking up garbage."

Zeng Yusheng i: "Yeah, the work itself is secondary, it's mainly the time! In the time it takes, I could clean up two islands! Eh? Who's the newcomer?"

Lang'ai Hotel Chen Jianhai: "Hello everyone, I'm Chen Jianhai from Lang'ai Hotel. Very happy to rejoin our big family."

Youdianshu: "It's you again?! Who let the dog boss in?!"

Maming Fengxiaoxiao: "Kick him out!"

Shanghua Pingyu: "Get out of our group, get off our island, you're not welcome!"

Tedahao Lajiao: "The flower seller is right! Get out of our group!"

Instantly, the group chat was flooded with messages to kick Chen Jianhai out, as if copy-pasting. The messages came so fast that Chen Jianhai hadn't even reacted when he saw a new message pop up at the bottom:

"You have been removed from the group chat by the group owner 'Jian Kufu.'"

Chen Jianhai: ...

Damn it!

That group owner did it on purpose!!!

He let me in just to get a round of scolding and then ruthlessly kicked me out.

What a cunning guy!

Chen Jianhai cursed out loud, forgetting he still had a face mask on. The movement of his face caused the mask to shift, half peeling off. He quickly tried to fix it, only to end up crumpling it into a ball.

Damn it!

Chen Jianhai was frustrated. Not wanting to waste it, he wiped the mask on his neck and arms until it was mostly dry, then aimed for the trash can and threw it.

Splat!

The mask hit the wall, leaving a wet mark.

Damn it!!!

Chen Jianhai was about to lose it.

There was a knock at the door, "Boss, your juice."

Chen Jianhai, wrapped in a towel, opened the door with a scowl.

The employee was startled by Chen Jianhai's expression, "Boss, are you in a bad mood?"

Then the employee noticed the wet paper next to the trash can and the mark on the wall. His face showed a look of understanding.

It was no secret that the boss was single.

"Boss, should I help you clean up?"

The employee offered thoughtfully. Such matters shouldn't be left to Bai Cheng and the girls; it wouldn't be good for them to see.

"Clean up?"

Chen Jianhai was puzzled. His room wasn't dirty. Plus, this employee wasn't responsible for guest rooms, so why was he suddenly so eager?

The next moment, Chen Jianhai followed the employee's gaze to the trash can. At first, he didn't understand, but then he realized the employee's sympathetic look. His expression darkened like a stormy sky, ready to strike.

"Get back to work!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

After closing the door, Chen Jianhai looked at the wet mask on the floor in frustration. Too lazy to bend down, he used his toes to pick it up and drop it in the trash.

After a quick rinse in the shower, he sat on the sofa, drinking juice and feeling down.

Even though the islanders were happy to see the cleaned-up north shore this afternoon, they still had such a big prejudice against him!

This shouldn't be...

Had he not done enough?

This thought made Chen Jianhai's eyes narrow.

Even though he had built the pier and cleared the ruins for the hotel, it was all for the hotel's sake. In truth, he hadn't really done much for the island itself.

"... I'll get some trash cans for the island!"
