Chapter 166: Hotel Redeeming Points, Preparing for a Wedding
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, you have earned one star of satisfaction from the island residents."
"Please check your email to receive it."
On the bus,
Boss Chen was slumped in his seat, dozing off with an empty stomach, when suddenly the system's voice rang in his mind.
A huge system panel appeared before Chen Jianhai's eyes, and in the bottom right corner, a small envelope with a red dot was flashing.
"The third star is here!"
Chen Jianhai was instantly wide awake!
He clicked to check.
A small red heart with wings flew out from the envelope and disappeared into the "Island Hotel" option.
Chen Jianhai opened the system and navigated to the Island Hotel. The three grey hearts below the previously selected hotel building all lit up, and the locked Island Hotel icon finally unlocked.
Chen Jianhai stared at the system panel before him, his lips trembling slightly, and his grip on the pillow tightened.
These three red hearts were really hard to come by.
Chen Jianhai thought he would be very happy, but to be honest, he just felt very dejected.
"Licking dogs don't end well."
This saying applies not only to love but to everything.
He had done three good deeds for the island but didn't receive a single word of thanks. In the end, he was kicked out of the group. Even a stone man would be disheartened.
Feeling a bit melancholic for a moment, Chen Jianhai took a deep breath and encouraged himself to perk up!
Damn it!
The scoldings shouldn't be for nothing.
I took so many scoldings and did so much, not to seek approval from you all but to build a hotel!
With this in mind, Chen Jianhai opened the system, ready to choose a style he liked for his hotel!
Although the hotel's exterior had been decided, he still hadn't chosen an interior theme.
"Ding!"
"Please select the desired hotel lobby style."
With the system's prompt, a plethora of hotel lobby styles appeared before Boss Chen, dazzling his eyes.
"This one looks good!"
"? This one is nice too..."
"I really like this one as well!!"
In an instant, Chen Jianhai seemed to understand the joy girls find in shopping for clothes; every style felt like a precious treasure, and he wanted to take each one home.
All his previous melancholy disappeared, replaced by indescribable happiness!
But after choosing for a long time, Chen Jianhai frowned slightly.
These styles were good, but they didn't match the overall environment and cultural atmosphere of the island!
He was now very familiar with Xiao Maji Island.
The island had a strong sense of life and simple customs.
A too-luxurious hotel style would be incompatible with the island's overall vibe,
Forcing such a style would create a great sense of disconnection.
Instead, it would be counterproductive,
Moreover, Xiao Maji Island Hotel was initially positioned to be a mid-to-high-end hotel,
So the decor should be as simple as possible.
Thinking of this,
Chen Jianhai's eyes suddenly lit up,
He hit the "back" button repeatedly on the system panel until he stared at an image on the screen.
That's it!

"Ding!"
"Modern Lobby Theme: Minimalism is Luxury. A heaven for perfectionists. The symmetry centered on the atrium gives the lobby a unique visual impression, with a bright, mirror-like floor creating an infinite connection between the sky and sea."
"Ding!"
"Would the host like to choose the modern lobby theme?"
"Confirm."
Looking at the hotel style description before him, Chen Jianhai clicked confirm without hesitation.
When he first acquired the system,
It only gave him three theme choices.
This modern theme was one of the original three.
Although he really liked this theme,
For energy saving and lighting reasons, he chose the ancient Greek temple lobby style.
But now, this style seemed like a perfect match for the island!
"Ding!"
"The system has accepted the host's request, and construction on the hotel will begin at 2 a.m."
"Construction period: 4 weeks."

"Boss, is something good happening?"
Wen Zifan asked curiously.
Since getting off the bus,
Chen Jianhai had been humming a tune, and the pillow in his right hand was swinging in circles.
"Of course, something good is happening!"
"The hotel's big event is coming soon."
Chen Jianhai said, swinging his pillow as he walked into the hotel, heading straight to the poolside bar to drink with An Xia and Lu Bin.
---
That afternoon,
Wen Zifan found out what the big event was.
Around 3 p.m.,
Aside from ensuring necessary staffing for essential services, all hotel employees rolled up their sleeves to help Rui Qi and Zhu Tingting prepare the venue.
Although Chen Jianhai had already used points to buy the wedding and proposal scene setup,
Many specific items like small decorations, name tags, flowers, and VCRs still required everyone's help.
"Blow up more balloons,"
"...If you use so much adhesive, how will we clean it up the next day? It'll be hard to get off the walls."
"Who cares about that? If we don't stick the double happiness characters and red flowers firmly, they'll all fall off overnight!"
In the largest and most luxurious underwater suite of Langai Hotel,
Dozens of employees were busy,
The girls helped set up the wedding room, while the boys inflated balloons,
Chen Jianhai was in the middle directing,
All sorts of wedding preparation items like red basins, red envelopes, and miscellaneous things were all available.
"Honey, what do we need to do?"
Outside the suite,
A girl, holding Rui Qi's arm, asked in confusion.
Rui Qi looked at the bustling room and muttered:
"Honestly, I'm not quite sure... It feels like someone else's wedding,"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Someone holding a red lamp squeezed past them,
While squeezing, they cursed:
"If you two have nothing to do, go somewhere else and show your love!"
"Everyone's working here, if you don't want to help, fine, but don't block the door!"
"If you can, block it tomorrow morning!"
Amidst the grumbling,
More employees squeezed into the room,
What was initially a spacious room was now packed with people.
Rui Qi and his fiancée stood foolishly in the hallway,
Feeling that all the busyness and noise belonged to others, and they had nothing...
"Honey, why don't we go out for some barbecue."
"Is that really okay? Won't we get in trouble if your boss and colleagues see us?"
"Let's go, if we don't, we'll definitely get in trouble."

Meanwhile,
Another group was busily setting up the proposal venue in the garden.
Electricians, plumbers, and students from Nanjiang Tourism Vocational College who weren't on duty all came to help.
"Sister Xiaofan, can you help me decide which of these flowers looks better?"
Zhu Tingting ran over with a bunch of red and pink flowers, unable to decide.
"The pink ones look better."
Wen Zifan carefully looked at the flowers and helped Zhu Tingting choose seriously.
"Thanks, Sister Xiaofan!"
After confirming, Zhu Tingting quickly returned to the venue to continue decorating.
To surprise Qin Mengqiu,
They had secretly arranged the schedule a month in advance, ensuring today was Qin Mengqiu's day off.
Everything went smoothly, without raising any suspicion.
"The work atmosphere in this hotel is really nice..."
Wen Zifan muttered enviously as she watched the hotel staff.
