Chapter 345: The Conditions Arrive, Why Are You Lying Down?

Despite his curiosity, Chen Jianhai had no time to worry about Han Ke's situation. After finishing his meal, he started browsing through inscriptions from various libraries and universities on his phone, hoping to get some inspiration.

"Embrace the classics of ancient and modern times, bringing together a grand collection of books... The inscription at Chunyang Province Library is quite decent."

"To soar high, a bird must first spread its wings; to seek progress, a person must first read... Hmm, this sounds too much like something you'd see in an elementary school hallway."

"Enlighten the people, promote civilization... My little library probably can't achieve such grand goals!"

What to do...

Chen Jianhai deeply regretted not paying more attention to his language teacher back in school. He had spent his days fooling around with Xiao Lang and Xu Bo instead. If only he had read more novels, he wouldn't be so clueless now! What a mess!

"Maybe I should ask Director Xiao Sun for help?" An idea suddenly popped into Chen Jianhai's head.

Director Xiao Sun was the head of the Publicity Department at Nanjiang Tourism Vocational School. His writing skills were top-notch, and he could definitely help with this!

But just as he took out his phone, Chen Jianhai hesitated. Asking someone else to inscribe his hard-earned Sea Cliff Library? That didn't seem right!

Unwilling to let go, Chen Jianhai threw his phone back on the table and started to think rationally.

Running a hotel requires understanding your target audience, and the same applies to opening a library. Only by identifying the target group can the inscription be more fitting.

"Although there are many tourists on the island, most of them are here for vacation and to pass the time."

"Even if they visit the Sea Cliff Library, it's mostly for taking photos. They're unlikely to sit quietly and read."

"The ones who frequent the library are actually children."

Chen Jianhai frowned slightly.

Although the small island of Xiao Maji is not large, it has everything it needs: hospitals, schools, cinemas, and even a high birth rate. There are quite a few elementary school students on the island.

"So... the inscription should mainly target them."

With this direction in mind, coming up with the content for the inscription became easier.

Chen Jianhai picked up a pen and started contemplating what to write for a children's library.

After thinking for a long time, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes! "System! I've decided on the inscription!"

With Chen Jianhai's call, a massive blue panel appeared in front of him. After entering the inscription into the system, he heard the familiar and cold voice of the system:

"Ding!"

"System has received the host's command. The Sea Cliff Library will officially open at 2 AM tonight."

"Cultural influence of the hotel has increased by 30%."

Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up.

The overall task progress bar showed that the hotel's landmark building task was now two-thirds complete. The cultural influence and social influence had reached 100%, leaving only the environmental impact, with 34% progress remaining.

"If I'm lucky, completing the Jellyfish Lake task should finish the system's landmark building task!"

Excitedly taking a deep breath, Chen Jianhai realized that after all this effort, he was finally close to completing the landmark task.

Though there were some bumps along the way, he had made new friends like Huang Baichuan and Yang Ruying and gained the island's recognition, becoming an islander. Truly a rewarding journey.

"But... the Jellyfish Lake task isn't something I can handle alone."

If it were an internal hotel facility, he could organize staff to plan and conduct activities. But Jellyfish Lake was a Nanjiang tourist attraction. Although he had invested and established it, there were many procedures to follow, including tourism coordination, integration of attractions, and classification of tourist spots, which required meticulous arrangements by the city.

Moreover, the Jellyfish Lake staff had to be chosen from the island's residents. These tasks were beyond his capabilities and required Grandpa Hanshan's effort.

Knocking on the table, Chen Jianhai was displeased. Since he mentioned the staffing for Golden Jellyfish Lake to Grandpa Hanshan, there had been no movement on the island—no hiring, not even a job posting!

"This needs to be pushed forward quickly!"

With that thought, Chen Jianhai called Grandpa Hanshan.

At that moment, Grandpa Hanshan was lying in his yard, listening to the radio and eating cherry guava. The sudden phone call startled him.

"About the scenic area... no rush, I'll post the recruitment notice soon," Grandpa Hanshan replied casually.

Chen Jianhai, on the other end, was furious, "How can we not rush?"

"We've built the scenic area, but without staff, how will we open and receive guests?"

Grandpa Hanshan chuckled indifferently, "Building a scenic area is a big deal. You say it's done, and it's done? That fast?"

Silence fell over the phone.

Sensing something was off, Grandpa Hanshan asked in shock, "You really... finished it?"

Chen Jianhai took a deep breath and earnestly persuaded, "Grandpa, we need to hurry and open the scenic area within a month!"

"A month?" Grandpa Hanshan sat up from his lounge chair, "That soon?!"

Chen Jianhai was exasperated, "Time waits for no one, Grandpa!"

"Before, we wanted to run but had no conditions to run. Now the conditions are here, why lie down?"

Grandpa Hanshan jumped up from his chair. "Run! I'll post the job notice tomorrow and get everyone on the island involved!"

...

The next day, the recruitment drive for Golden Jellyfish Lake staff was in full swing on the island.

Grandpa Hanshan posted the "Recruitment Notice for Golden Jellyfish Lake Tourism Staff" in the group. Although it was the first time many islanders had heard of Jellyfish Lake, they trusted Grandpa Hanshan's words.

Many islanders enthusiastically signed up, with Han Ke being the most active.

Since Chen Jianhai won the island's most popular resident award, Han Ke had been utterly disheartened and quit his job. Fortunately, the islanders' shopping spree had waned, with most of their money spent during Singles' Day and Double Twelve. There weren't many packages to deliver lately.

Han Ke's absence went unnoticed, and life went on as usual. However, this only deepened Han Ke's sense of insignificance, firming his resolve to quit delivering packages for good.
