Chapter 418: Guess What the Owl Likes to Eat 

2:00 AM.

After a day of noisy work, the construction team at Zaomen City's Magic Century Park finally welcomed the tranquility of the night.

The workers, exhausted from a long day, fell into a deep sleep after a hearty meal.

"Clang..."

The sound of metal clashing came from the distance on the construction site, piercing through the quiet night.

This kind of noise was something the workers heard countless times during the day. Occasionally, a light sleeper might wake up but would just roll over and go back to sleep.

"Clang, clang, clang... Bang, bang, bang..."

"Click, click, click~~~ Ding, ding, clang!!!!"

A series of construction sounds echoed through the site.

One by one, the sleeping workers were woken up.

"Whose machine is still running, or is someone working in the middle of the night?"

"It doesn't seem like it's one of us..."

"Did another construction team arrive?"

The workers curiously looked towards the source of the noise and saw that the once barren area along Naiyou Road had somehow been fenced off with barriers from outside. The barriers had the words "Ocean Star Luxury Decoration Company" written on them.

The powerful construction lights lit up Naiyou Road like daylight, illuminating the area near Magic Century Park.

"Why are they working so hard? Can't it wait until tomorrow?"

Amid a chorus of grumbling, the renovation of Zaomen Hotel officially began.

Meanwhile, three unexpected guests, each carrying luggage, quietly checked into Lang'ai Hotel one after another.

At the entrance of Lang'ai Hotel, Xing Yusen, a member of the Shell Intermediate Hotel Industry Association and a senior examiner for Platinum Star Five-Star Hotels, stood in front of the Golden Dolphin Fountain and took a deep breath.

"I'm here!"

"I finally managed to book a room and come to inspect this damn Lang'ai Hotel!!!"

Xing Yusen was nearly moved to tears.

As one of the three senior examiners sent for this inspection, Lang'ai Hotel had been the hardest hotel to book in his entire career.

From the initial filming of *Mr. Sweetheart* at Lang'ai Hotel, to the subsequent "Little Marathon" event, and then to the "Nanjiang Beer Festival," the hotel's rooms had always been fully booked, leaving no opportunity for the examiners to conduct their assessments.

Although some had suggested inspecting Xiaodao Hotel instead, that proposal was immediately rejected. After all, their task was to assess Lang'ai Hotel, not Chen Jianhai personally.

Their job was to make an objective, fair, and comprehensive evaluation of Lang'ai Hotel's facilities and services.

"Let me see what this hotel is all about!"

With a vengeful mindset, Xing Yusen confidently strode into the hotel lobby.

At that very moment, seemingly sensing some kind of danger, Chen Jianhai, still asleep, unconsciously scratched his belly, turned over, and snuggled his leg against the blanket, continuing to sleep soundly.

...

Over the next few days, Chen Jianhai spent most of his time seeking out opportunities and gathering information about Magic Century Park.

Su Jie, Yang Ruying, Gao Qiao, and Huang Baichuan—he had pestered them all for information.

At one point, he even considered calling Liu Qinglu to see if she knew any influential people in Zaomen who could provide insights into the Magic Century Park.

While Chen Jianhai was anxious and on edge, the hotel staff were caught up in a whirlwind of excitement.

After the news of Wen Zifan's internal purchase plan for Zaomen Hotel employees and Xie Zhulongxiong's hotel employee education contracts spread, the hotel staff were absolutely thrilled!

What kind of heavenly boss is this!!

It's one thing to pay full social insurance during further education, and then even reimburse the tuition fees upon returning! Plus, employees could purchase hotel property shares at an internal discount and receive dividends at the end of the year!!

In an instant, the work enthusiasm and service passion of the employees at Lang'ai Hotel and Xiaodao Hotel soared to unprecedented heights!

Every face was beaming with genuine smiles and happiness, which in turn enhanced their work, making every guest feel incredibly satisfied and comfortable.

"The service at this hotel is indeed excellent."

In the garden of Lang'ai Hotel, a middle-aged man stroked a cat while marking a checkbox on a form.

Apparently feeling that the checkmark wasn't enough, the middle-aged man added a plus sign in the upper right corner of the checkmark.

Seeing the plus sign added by the head of the assessment team on the paper, Xing Yusen, who had been determined to scrutinize Lang'ai Hotel thoroughly, also changed his tune. He continuously marked checkmarks on his form, all while marveling,

"I finally understand why it's so hard to book a room at this hotel."

...

While the assessment team quietly carried out their work, the owner of Lang'ai Hotel was busy with his own concerns.

"Sigh, if only I could get the blueprints for Magic Century Park."

"Or maybe I could start with the hotels inside Magic Century Park... Right! I can ask Su Jie!"

Su Jie was about to become the secretary-general of the Shell Hotel Intermediate Association in Zaomen, overseeing all hotel information in Zaomen.

Why not ask him to look into it?!

Without hesitation, Chen Jianhai dialed Su Jie's number.

But before he could say much, Su Jie regretfully said, "Boss Chen, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"I just got word this morning that three senior assessment teams have already arrived at your hotel, and the results should be out in the next few days."

Chen Jianhai was stunned.

What does that mean?

The assessment teams are here, and there's no prior notice at all!!

But what does that have to do with you going to Zaomen or not?

Su Jie explained, "Boss Chen, if your hotel successfully qualifies as a Platinum Five-Star Hotel, the association will be upgraded from a junior hotel association to an intermediate hotel industry association."

"When that happens, there will be a lot of related work to prepare."

"I need to handle those matters before I can go to Zaomen to take up my new position."

"Also, I've received word from Huoxiang City Sanatorium. They plan to discuss a vacation and wellness cooperation in the next few days, so I really can't leave."

Feeling disappointed, Su Jie hung up.

Chen Jianhai sighed and sank back into the sofa.

It's tough...

If I can't get any information, my only option might be to wait until Magic Century Park is nearly completed and take shape, then build my hotel based on the park's theme.

But that would be too passive.

"Ding."

Just as Chen Jianhai was feeling frustrated, his phone beeped with a new message.

"Ping'an Yisheng? Who is this? What a weird name," Chen Jianhai muttered as he opened the message.

"Boss, I found out the answer to your question."

"Can you guess whether the owl prefers hotpot or barbecue?"
