Chapter 196: A Delightful Guest Room Experience

"Don't like the taste??"

On the other side, Chen Jianhai, who was secretly observing, frowned slightly. The hotel had thoughtfully prepared ginger tea and snacks for the guests, but why were they not touching them? 

"Could it be that the taste isn't good??" Chen Jianhai wondered.

From the moment these tourists stepped into the arcade, he had been closely observing everyone's reactions. The best way to test service quality is always through guest feedback. Only by constantly adjusting based on guests' reactions can they continually improve and provide the most satisfying service.

Everything else was fine, so why weren't they drinking the tea? Should he prepare some juice next time??

While Chen Jianhai was pondering this, Ning Youyou had already distributed the room cards to everyone and said, "Alright, these are your room cards. You now have free time."

"We'll meet in the lobby at 2 PM to go sea fishing."

...

"Click~"

A crisp electronic sound came from the door lock. "Enjoy your stay."

The hotel staff warmly led Duan Zao to her room.

"Thank you."

Duan Zao smiled and, with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, pushed open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Duan Zao's eyes widened. This room...99?? 

In front of her was a beachfront view, perfect for admiring the gentle waves at noon when the wind and waves were at their calmest. Bright, soft sunlight streamed into the room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the off-white rectangular carpet that felt delicately soft.

The deep sapphire blue sofa and bed runner blended together, with gold embroidery faintly reflecting the sunlight through the seams. The wooden cabinets and coffee table, combined with the lounge chairs on the sunbathing platform, perfectly balanced the white and deep blue, creating an incredibly spacious and relaxing atmosphere.

The brilliant light spread like a fragrance in the air, enveloping you unknowingly. The cool sea breeze dispersed the heat, revealing colorful sunbeams.

Duan Zao stood dumbfounded at the door. She reached out and gently traced the light beams, feeling a warm touch with a hint of rainbow colors. Watching the fleeting light and shadow on her finger, Duan Zao's eyes reddened, almost bringing her to tears.

She had lived in a three-square-meter room for two years, where even a mattress couldn't fit. At night, she would lay a simple mat on the floor to sleep and fold it back in the morning to have enough space to pull out a gaming chair from under the desk to start her day's work. In her tiny rental room, there was no such large window, only a narrow rectangular one on the wall that allowed sunlight to cast a crooked square on her wardrobe from 11:30 to 12:30 daily.

On Mid-Autumn Festival nights, she could only see a dark sky, imagining the moon through online pictures. People envied her for working in a big city with a salary over ten thousand, but only she knew how chaotic and exhausting her life truly was. She had lived in a cramped, enclosed space for far too long.

Seeing the spacious and relaxing room before her, Duan Zao felt her heart open up. The vast blue ocean connected to the sky, as if the world was embracing her. Excitedly, she kicked off her shoes and jumped onto the bed, bouncing like a child on a trampoline before falling back.

"Duang!"

Duan Zao held her head, almost crying from the pain. But she quickly wiped her tears, rolled happily on the bed with a pillow, then jumped off and began exploring the room like an adventurer.

TV: On!!!

"The child's cold won't go away, it's probably lung heat…"

The familiar commercial words made Duan Zao's eyes red again. Since university, she had lived away from home and worked hard outside, not having watched TV for a long time. Though she had memberships on various video apps to avoid ads, TV commercials felt truly homely. A home needed a TV to feel lively. Hearing the TV, Duan Zao felt less lonely. 

Unfortunately, as an ordinary worker, she didn't understand the brands of the cabinets, TV, refrigerator, and bathtub… But not understanding didn't stop her from touching everything!

Happily, she took a can of juice from the mini-fridge, popped the tab, and gulped it down, even letting out a satisfied burp.

Delicious!!!

"This bathtub looks amazing!"

Duan Zao ran to the sunbathing platform, admiring the massage bathtub, then looked around. The privacy was excellent, perfectly protecting the guests' privacy from all angles. Without hesitation, she filled the tub, adjusted the water temperature, tied up her hair, and quickly slipped out of her dress into the tub.

Wow…

Comfortable!!!

Duan Zao lazily lay in the tub, looking at the green lagoon in front of her, feeling dizzy. The bubbles in the tub emitted a soothing fragrance, making her feel like every pore was absorbing nutrients.

"Ding dong~~"

Her phone rang, and Duan Zao groggily picked up her phone from the waterproof bag.

"Gather in the lobby in 5 minutes, please don't be late~"

Seeing Ning Youyou's message, Duan Zao replied without hesitation:

"Dear, I'm a bit tired, so I won't be going sea fishing~"

"Got it. Enjoy your rest."

After receiving Ning Youyou's message, Duan Zao placed her phone on the nearby table, comfortably lying in the tub, gazing at the distant sky and sea. Honestly, she just wanted to relax and have a carefree vacation. She joined the tour group out of laziness to plan the trip. She wasn't very keen on sea fishing but enjoyed staying in this guest room. She usually didn't have such good living conditions, so she had to cherish it now!

"The outside world is wonderful!"

"I really want to have this, to stay here forever…"

Duan Zao gently played with the water, her eyes filled with longing and ambition.

"One day, I can do it too!"

...

Elsewhere, in the hotel lobby, Ning Youyou puzzledly looked at her phone.

Why is another person not coming out? Including Duan Zao, three people had messaged her saying they wouldn't go sea fishing, preferring to stay in the hotel.

Oh well, if they don't want to go, they don't have to.

Ning Youyou raised her hand high:

"Travelers, follow me~~~ We're going sea fishing now!!!"
