Chapter 134: Five-Star Plaque, Cheers from Everyone

After chatting with Su Jie for a while longer, Chen Jianhai left the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association, holding his certificate and plaque. He took out his phone and called the doorman, Xiao Gao.

It took a full twenty minutes before Mr. Chen saw his brand-new Boma car speeding around the corner.

The car stopped.

He got in.

Gave it gas.

The sequence was so smooth it almost rivaled an action movie.

There was no other way; the street was lined with yellow curb stones!

There were also many cameras,

and Chen Jianhai had left in such a hurry that morning that he hadn't checked if his Boma had license plates.

If he had the car but no plates and got caught on camera, that would be disastrous.

...

"Boss, what did you get?" Xiao Gao asked curiously while driving.

"Nothing much, just a five-star hotel qualification plaque and a certificate from the Coconut Umbrella Industry Association," Chen Jianhai replied nonchalantly.

It wasn't that Mr. Chen was being modest while showing off, or showing off while being modest.

It was just that, having personally experienced the process of receiving the plaque and certificate, he had lost interest in them.

Moreover, with the senior assessment team coming next, things wouldn't be calm anyway.

While Mr. Chen remained indifferent, Xiao Gao's eyes lit up instantly!

"A certificate... a plaque, we did it?!!" Xiao Gao's voice was filled with excitement.

"We did it." Chen Jianhai nodded.

"I knew we could do it!" Xiao Gao excitedly slapped the steering wheel twice.

After slapping it twice, Xiao Gao still wasn't satisfied,

so he sprayed some windshield washer fluid and started the wipers!

If it weren't for Mr. Chen being in the car and it being inappropriate to be too wild, he might have started singing along with the car radio.

After another round of excited slapping of the steering wheel by Xiao Gao,

Chen Jianhai couldn't hold back anymore, "Doesn't your hand hurt?"

"It does!" Xiao Gao replied. "But I'm just so happy!!"

After speaking,

Xiao Gao looked at Chen Jianhai through the rearview mirror,

thinking that on this joyous day, the boss must be in a good mood, so he tentatively asked:

"Boss, do we still get the 500 yuan bonus for passing without a hitch?"

"Of course!"

"When have I ever gone back on my word? You'll get it as soon as we get back today!"

...

As soon as the car returned to the hotel,

Xiao Gao excitedly went to get the toolbox,

while Chen Jianhai got out of the car first,

walking around it to inspect it from all angles.

"Tsk tsk tsk... If I didn't say I had a system, this would be unscientific and unreasonable!"

Chen Jianhai muttered to himself, glancing at the annual inspection sticker on the car glass and checking the license plates.

Everything was in order,

and the other four cars also had all their paperwork in place, finally putting Mr. Chen at ease.

On the other side,

Xiao Gao had already hung the plaque in the most prominent spot next to the revolving door.

After hanging it, Xiao Gao even took a clean cloth and carefully wiped the plaque,

his face showing a fatherly smile.

This was the symbol of a five-star hotel!

With this, they were now proudly employees of a five-star hotel!

Though he didn't know if it meant a raise,

at least it sounded impressive!!!

"Everyone, can you hear me?"

In an instant,

a gentle, magnetic, and charming voice, sounding like a bass broadcaster, came through the Langai Hotel staff's walkie-talkies.

"Hello, hello?"

"Can you hear me? Can you hear me?"

"If you can't hear me, give me a sign."

Chen Jianhai stood in the lobby, speaking into Qin Mengqiu's loudspeaker.

With the hotel's size, the number of guests, and the workload being several times what it used to be,

previously, Chen Jianhai could find a way to hold a brief meeting with the staff that lasted less than 10 minutes.

But now, if he called all the staff to the meeting hall, even for just 3 minutes, the hotel would be in chaos.

So, for convenience, Mr. Chen simply equipped everyone with a walkie-talkie, connecting them all to the system.

From now on, if he had any major announcements, he could directly speak through the main walkie-talkie at the service desk.

After waiting for a while,

since he didn't hear anyone respond, he cleared his throat and began to speak:

"Today, I'm taking a few minutes of work time for a brief meeting."

"During the meeting, please stay calm and composed, and don't scare the guests."

In the hotel's underwater suite,

"Why is the boss suddenly holding a meeting?"

"No idea, it's strange."

Bai Cheng and her roommate, who was cleaning the room with her, paused, puzzled by what important announcement the boss had to make.

In the kitchen,

Dao Dun and the baking staff stopped their work and looked at Xu Qiao Ni, who was equally confused.

In the machine room on the second floor,

Lin Su Yang, Zhao An, Xing Feilong, An Bingfeng, and Xiao Liu all stopped working on their PPT presentations.

At the poolside bar, An Xia stopped strumming her guitar.

Then Chen Jianhai's voice came through:

"First point: Thanks to the hard work of all the staff, Langai Hotel has been certified by the Nanshi Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association as an officially recognized five-star hotel!"

As soon as he said this,

Qin Mengqiu and the tattletale employee's eyes widened in disbelief.

Then they excitedly covered their mouths, their eyes full of joy.

All the employees in the lobby turned their gaze towards Chen Jianhai at the center of the hotel,

and if it weren't for the fear of startling the passing guests, they would have clapped and cheered!

In an instant,

a joyful and warm atmosphere silently spread throughout the hotel.

With no guests in the room at the moment,

Bai Cheng and her roommate excitedly held hands and jumped up and down with joy.

Genuine smiles of happiness spread across their faces.

Xu Qiao Ni nonchalantly tossed the dough onto the counter,

saying, "I thought it was something big, interrupting my meal."

But her face broke into a wide grin.

Dao Dun slowly raised his knife-wielding hand, looking incredulously at the baking and dishwashing staff, muttering:

"I'm a chef at a five-star hotel now..."

"I can't believe I'm a chef at a five-star hotel!!"

Chen Jianhai, seeing the excitement of the staff around him, said with a smile:

"The plaque has been hung next to the main entrance; you can take a look when you have time."

"I only have one rule: you can look at it, touch it, clean it, but you cannot kiss it, and definitely cannot lick it!"

As soon as he said this,

Qin Mengqiu and the tattletale employee shivered, trying not to picture someone licking the plaque.

"Ew... the boss is so gross."

Qin Mengqiu crossed her arms in front of her, rubbing her goosebumps.
