Chapter 216: "Going Through Great Lengths" Themed Concept Dishes

"Pa! Pa pa!"

Chen Jianhai smacked the back of his left hand hard with his right hand.

If he hadn't been quick to act, and if he had waited until now to build public restrooms and trash bins, the progress in societal influence would have been much greater.

But on the other hand,

if he hadn't built the public restrooms and trash bins earlier, he wouldn't have gained the satisfaction of the island residents.

At that time, he wouldn't have been able to build the hotel, let alone complete any tasks.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianhai felt a bit better.

He opened the system panel to check the main tasks.

In the "City Landmark Buildings Task," three different progress bars hung unevenly on the panel.

"Hotel surrounding environment improvement, progress bar at 30%."

"Cultural and humanistic influence of the hotel, progress bar at 50%."

"Hotel's social influence, progress bar at 40%."

Except for the improvement of the hotel surroundings, the other two progress bars were flashing, indicating that they might continue to grow.

Currently, Li Xun's historical lectures on retracing the path of the South River were in full swing nationwide,

and Ning Youyou's specially designed South River historical tourism route was attracting huge crowds.

Lang'ai Hotel, as the first check-in point for South River history, required no extra effort from Chen Jianhai for its cultural influence.

Once the filming of "Mr. Sweetheart" is completed, the hotel's fame will further increase, and its social influence will also rise.

If this progress continues,

it won't be long before Lang'ai Hotel upgrades to a luxury hotel!

The more Chen Jianhai thought about it, the happier he became.

Lang'ai Hotel is already beautiful as a high-end hotel,

once it becomes a landmark building in Nanjiang City and upgrades to a luxury hotel, it will be stunning beyond words!

"Sigh... I miss my dear wife a bit."

Chen Jianhai hugged a pillow, feeling a bit sad as he looked out the window,

"I wonder how the hotel is doing now..."

Thinking about it, Chen Jianhai took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Ring... Ring... Ring..."

After a few rings, a sleepy voice answered from the other end,

"What is it?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Jianhai spoke with melancholy, "Big Bo, how have you been lately? Dad misses you."

"Idiot!"

"Ring... Ring... Ring..."

The phone was hung up directly.

Chen Jianhai looked at the phone with dissatisfaction,

Xu Bo is really too lazy, not diligent at all.

It's already 4:37 in the morning and he still isn't up!

What a bum...

...

Nanjiang City Cultural Tourism Promotion Center, Main Conference Room.

"To further enhance the development of Nanjiang City's cultural tourism resources, expand urban tourism cultural influence, fully exploit environmental advantages, and promote the transformation of the natural environment into a humanistic environment to create distinctive urban features,"

"With the approval of city leaders, we are now widely launching the 'Charming Nanjiang Plan, Creating Island Tourism' project. The guiding principles and specific requirements are as follows..."

On the podium,

Gu Minzhong, Director of Nanjiang City Cultural Tourism Promotion Center, was solemnly and seriously reading out the document's spirit,

"That concludes the document content, which will be officially distributed to various units after the meeting. I hope everyone will study it well and thoroughly understand the document's spirit."

"I have three points to emphasize:"

"First, further raise awareness and quickly unify thinking towards the creation of charming Nanjiang tourism."

"Second, further innovate and open up, and strive to develop new resource development points, making efforts to create our Nanjiang tourism gold label."

"Third, further promote the spirit of struggle and perseverance, and go all out to win this cultural tourism promotion battle."

"Meeting adjourned!"

...

External Cultural Promotion Department.

Yang Ruying sat at her desk, looking at the new red-headed document on the table, and sighed heavily.

Since Chunyang Province issued the document on creating a beautiful Chunyang and prosperous Chunyang, all major cities in Chunyang Province had been intensively planning work, implementing new development plans based on each city's unique characteristics.

Nanjiang City, due to having the highlight resource of an island, was directly placed on the agenda this time.

The island construction and development in Nanjiang City had always been a weak point.

The higher-ups intended to use this opportunity to thoroughly develop the island through the Charming Nanjiang activity.

But the existing islands in Nanjiang City were really lacking,

although living conditions on the island had been basically guaranteed with the help of relevant organizations in previous years, the conditions were far from what was needed to create a tourism highlight.

It's difficult...

Yang Ruying thought for a while and then walked to the file cabinet to take out an archive box.

Inside were all the details of the various islands in Nanjiang City.

After carefully flipping through it,

Yang Ruying took out two pieces of information and placed them on the table, stuffing the rest back.

On the table were the materials of Xiao Ma Jia Island and Da Cai Gui Island.

"Xiao Ma Jia Island has a beautiful coastline and has been developed for a long time, with a fixed fishing community. It's a good choice for development."

"Unfortunately, there are no hotels or guesthouses on the island, which is a major drawback..."

Yang Ruying frowned as she looked at the materials of Xiao Ma Jia Island, then picked up the other piece of information.

"Da Cai Gui Island is a newly funded construction in the past two years, with one guesthouse on the island, but many facilities and infrastructure are still under construction. In terms of hardware, it also seems to be lacking."

Neither option is perfect.

What to do...

While Yang Ruying was distressed, the phone rang.

"Hello, Director Fang?"

"Xiao Yang, did you get the document from the meeting just now?"

Yang Ruying quickly replied, "Got it, I have read through the relevant requirements and specific instructions."

The voice on the phone said, "Alright, then you'll need to work hard these days to compile a report on the island situation suitable for tourism development in the city."

"Okay, Leader." Yang Ruying responded.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ruying was silent for a moment and sighed.

She couldn't even choose a suitable island right now, and the materials were impossible to make up.

She opened the office intranet.

As an integrated unified data website, most results and content would be updated on the office intranet in a timely manner.

Although some data might not have the most accurate figures, there would be bar charts or similar things to indicate rankings and comparisons.

"This Blue Sky Travel Agency's daily sales are quite strong."

Yang Ruying locked her eyes on the bar chart in the lower right corner of the screen and then opened the Blue Sky Travel Agency's official website.

"Xiao Ma Jia Island one-day tour?"

Yang Ruying's eyes lit up, and she scrolled down.

When she saw the private holiday estate on the island, she was stunned!

Since when did Xiao Ma Jia Island have such a private holiday estate??

She quickly took out her phone, opened the travel app, and looked at the comments on Blue Sky Travel Agency's Xiao Ma Jia Island one-day tour product. Surprisingly, the reviews were quite good!

"Snorkeling, fishing, nothing much to say, but the private holiday estate is incredibly comfortable. I stayed here for four days and didn't see a single bug. It's truly a bug-free hotel!"

"The private holiday estate has an excellent environment, with a long beach. Watching the sunset from the bathtub in the evening is especially beautiful. The lively living area is not far from the estate. Although there's only one main street on the island, it has all the necessary shops and convenience stores! If I come to Nanjiang again, I'll choose this private holiday estate! The two photos weren't taken on the same day, but the sky is truly red all over when the weather is good, super beautiful! [Pictures][Pictures]"

"The hotel is very new but has no trace of renovation smell. All facilities and rooms are well-maintained, and the staff are very friendly. The downside is the limited variety of dishes in the restaurant, mostly seafood, so the buffet wasn't very satisfying."

"The sashimi is delicious, and I even saw a photo of the internet-famous chef with Wu Kai in the lobby! You can see the beach and coconut trees right at the door, an excellent resort!!"

Reading these reviews, Yang Ruying suddenly felt like a pie had fallen from the sky.

She had been worrying about not having a suitable island for development,

and now Blue Sky Travel Agency had given her such a big surprise!

But then, Yang Ruying felt puzzled.

"When did Xiao Ma Jia Island get a private holiday estate?"

The hotel management on Xiao Ma Jia Island falls under the Nanjiang City Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association. If there was any new hotel on the island, the association would have updated the information immediately.

Oh well... forget about it.

Better to visit the island and see the situation firsthand.

...

"Morning, Huluwa!"

"Morning!"

On a fresh morning at Xiao Ma Jia Island, Chen Jianhai was jogging along the Starlight Coastal Road, panting in his workout clothes.

Since the completion of the Starlight Coastal Road,

this road built along the beach had become a new favorite among the island residents, with people walking and jogging on it every morning.

And the hotel's back door was conveniently connected to this coastal road,

so recently, Chen Jianhai had also developed the habit of getting up early to jog.

"Huluwa, where's your barbecue brother?" A voice came from behind Chen Jianhai.

"He went to rescue grandpa." Chen Jianhai said.

"Haha."
