Chapter 160: Director Feng’s Self-Deceptive Secret Deal

Chen Jianhai: aggrieved, helpless, and pitiful.

On the other side, after finalizing the wedding arrangements with the boss, Ruiky immediately ran to the second-floor server room to discuss the wedding video and bridal pickup filming with Lin Su and Zhao An.

These were all brothers from their hotel, and they would definitely come together to help with such a small favor. The hotel had many talents ready to assist.

Seeing Chen Jianhai looking aggrieved and humbled after being scolded by an employee, Wen Zifan widened her eyes in disbelief at the scene before her.

Reason told her she must be mistaken, but her eyes assured her she wasn't. 

Isn't the boss and employee's dynamic here a bit reversed?

Although Chen Jianhai had a thick skin, he still cared about his reputation. 

Three times he tried to join the island's chat group, and three times he was kicked out. It wasn't even this hard to seek out Zhuge Liang three times. 

Being expelled from the group last time had hurt his feelings, so he hadn't gone to Small Vest Island for almost half a month.

"I can't possibly need to capture and release Meng Huo seven times…" Chen Jianhai grumbled as he looked at the one-day tour advertisement for Small Vest Island by Blue Sky Travel Agency on the first floor of the hotel, feeling both unwilling and frustrated.

He had invested so many points on the island. Regardless of the system tasks or the association's arrangements, now all the five-star hotel owners in Nanjiang City had their eyes on him. If he failed, he would never be able to hold his head high in the association again.

"Damn it…!" Chen Jianhai gritted his teeth.

"If I didn't have the system, I could understand. But I have the system and can't even build a hotel? Then what's the difference between me and trash? I might as well not live!"

A wave of determination rose within him. 

So what if I can't join the group chat? The island residents' satisfaction is already two stars. I just need one more star to build the hotel building on the island. Success is within reach, just one step away. 

And here I am, disheartened by the island residents' chat, making me too sad to push forward. How foolish!

"I refuse to believe I can't win you over!!!"

Chen Jianhai gritted his teeth, pulled out his cracked phone, and started messaging Feng Di.

At this moment, on Small Vest Island, Director Feng was sitting on a stool in front of a café, idly petting a dog with his left hand, looking worriedly at the "Ice King" cold drink shop across the street.

… How can there be such despicable people in this world!!!

There's already a café on this street, so why open a cold drink shop! They're both beverage businesses, and "Ice King" customers are lined up to the vegetable shop, while his own café is empty!

"Knock knock knock!"

The phone rang. Feng Di took out his phone, and his expression changed slightly. But then he acted nonchalant, typing:

"Brother Chen, haven't seen you on the island for half a month. Why haven't you come over?"

Investor Chen: "There's been some family stuff, so I haven't been there. How's the café business? Did the machines arrive?"

Feng·Urine Is Not This Hard To Drink: "Sigh, don't mention it. [Sigh]"

Investor Chen: "???"

Feng·Urine Is Not This Hard To Drink: "Logistics are stalled. The boat delivering supplies to the island has been held up in Nanjiang, and nothing's coming through."

Investor Chen: "What do you mean held up?"

Feng·Urine Is Not This Hard To Drink: "[Frown] There's no dedicated boat for island deliveries. Usually, the courier companies bundle the island's goods and wait for a boat to deliver them all at once. Now, with Double Eleven, the volume is huge, and they can't even deliver Nanjiang's packages, let alone ours. We'll have to wait a few days until the packages pile up enough for a batch delivery."

Investor Chen: "Is this the usual situation for deliveries?"

Feng·Urine Is Not This Hard To Drink: "It's a bit better normally, but not by much. It costs to run the boat, so doing a few trips a week is already good."

Investor Chen: "Alright, I understand. I'll come to the island when I'm less busy."

"Sure, Brother."

After messaging Chen Jianhai, Feng Di glanced around guiltily, worried someone might discover his secret dealings with Chen Jianhai from Langai Hotel.

Back at Langai Hotel, Chen Jianhai stared at the chat screen on his phone, his expression growing bolder, more excited, and confident.

Unreliable delivery, no dedicated cargo boat, delayed package receipt for islanders… 

"If I can solve the islanders' package delivery and cargo transport problem, wouldn't that earn me another satisfaction star from the island residents?"

Chen Jianhai's eyes gleamed with determination. 

Anyway, when my hotel is built on the island, I'll need to transport food and supplies from Nanjiang daily. And my hotel already has a private dock. Why not solve the shipping issue now?

"Hehehe…"

"It's great to have someone on the inside!"

Chen Jianhai excitedly ran back to his room, ready to select a cargo ship from the system store.

Seeing his retreating figure, Wen Zifan frowned slightly. 

Isn't Chen Jianhai's phone a bit too shabby? 

For a five-star hotel owner, using a cracked phone? 

Although frugality is a virtue, as the leader of a hotel, he not only represents himself but also the hotel's image. 

Isn't he being too stingy with himself?

---

In the room.

"Ding!"

"Confirm purchase of a shipping cargo ship for 10,000 points?"

"Confirm."

After a series of unemotional interactions, the system voice chimed again:

"Ding!"

"Daily charitable tasks detected, income increased by 2% per day."

"To ensure the cargo ship's daily operation, the host can convert each 1% income from charitable tasks into one day of operational use."

"Would the host like to convert the remaining 1% income into daily automatic cleaning?"

"Select! Confirm!"

Chen Jianhai decisively responded.

Instantly, the 1% daily growth value on the charity task income panel became zero.

Chen Jianhai exhaled in satisfaction.

With this daily cargo ship, the island's deliveries and cargo transport could be ensured. But a new problem arose.

"Now the charitable gains from the Red House are all used up. If I need more gains in the future, it will be troublesome."

Chen Jianhai knocked on the table, deep in thought.

"It looks like I need to think about doing more charitable tasks to be prepared."

"But what should I do…"

With that in mind, Chen Jianhai opened the system panel and carefully began to choose.
