Chapter 238: The Fans of the "Strong" Chen Jianhai

Chen Jianhai was stunned.

The last two times he saw these two girls, they were wearing glamorous, exquisite makeup and had their soft, glossy hair down.

But now both of them were completely makeup-free,

with their hair simply tied up in ponytails,

their demeanor entirely different from usual,

which was a significant reason why Chen Jianhai didn't recognize them at first.

Although it was hard to believe,

the live broadcast caption under these two people clearly read: Lang Ai Hotel Employees.

Commentator Sun Chicheng's voice timely echoed in the TV voiceover:

"Who would have thought that even the volunteers for our event are employees of Lang Ai Hotel?"

"It seems that for this 'Little Horse' event, Lang Ai Hotel has truly put in a considerable amount of effort and dedication."

"Of course,"

"This event also owes great thanks to Nanjiang Xiaocaishen Beer Co. and Nanjiang Broad Fisheries Co. for their strong support!"

As Sun Chicheng's commentary continued,

the screen filled with bullet comments:

"Wow, they built public toilets, paved the track, provided food, and even the volunteers are from this hotel."

"Why do I feel like today's 'Little Horse' event was single-handedly organized by Lang Ai Hotel?"

"This hotel is aiming for the stars!"

"If I ever get to Nanjiang, I must stay at this hotel for a couple of days!"

...

As the screen was flooded with "Lang Ai Hotel" comments,

the "real sponsors" of this event, Nanjiang Xiaocaishen Beer Co. and Nanjiang Broad Fisheries Co., clearly couldn't sit still anymore.

The official accounts of both companies personally entered to send gifts and post comments:

"Don't forget to try Xiaocaishen Beer when you come to Nanjiang~"

"Drink Xiaocaishen, and your whole family will become little gods of wealth~~~!!!"

"Nanjiang Broad Fisheries Co.'s fish are eagerly awaiting your taste."

But these accounts were quickly drowned out by the flood of "Lang Ai Hotel" comments.

No one paid any attention...

...

At Xiaodao Hotel,

as Sun Chicheng's commentary continued and the number of comments increased,

the system panel, which had just been minimized, automatically popped up again,

and now the Monkey King was not only shooting up to the sky,

but was also jumping up and down on the tip of the Golden Cudgel.

The 100% social influence progress bar had turned so dark purple it was almost black.

Seeing this progress bar get any darker, blending into the bottom of the panel,

Chen Jianhai was terrified.

"Although the value increase is a good thing..."

"System, don't think I'm cheating and end up banning my account!!!"

...

Meanwhile,

at Nanjiang Broad Fisheries Co.

"President Xu, should we get our employees to post more comments?"

In Xu Yong's office, a male secretary awkwardly suggested while holding an iPad.

Xu Yong's face darkened as he looked at the screen full of "Lang Ai Hotel is awesome" comments, gnashing his teeth in frustration.

"Post them!"

"Post as many as we can before the event ends!"

"Yes, President Xu!"

Watching the secretary leave,

Xu Yong picked up his phone, glanced at the irritating comments, and fumed with anger.

Phrases like "Zhou Yu fights the Battle of Red Cliffs, sacrificing himself for others" and "Giving away millions only to make a wedding dress for someone else" came to his mind one after another.

He could never have imagined,

after spending a fortune to secure the sponsorship for the "Little Horse" event,

Nanjiang Broad Fisheries Co.'s publicity barely improved,

instead giving Chen Jianhai's lousy hotel a ton of free publicity.

And besides!

Don't their hotel employees have work to do!

No attendance checks?

Don't they deduct wages for leave?

Skipping work in broad daylight to volunteer instead!!

Frustrated, Xu Yong opened WeChat Moments,

and after scrolling a bit,

Xu Yong's scrolling finger paused, his face darkening even more.

"You've got the nerve to run a half-marathon?!!!"

Xu Yong cursed under his breath as he commented below the post:

"[Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]!"

After commenting, he gave the post a like.

Then he slammed his phone onto the desk with a bang,

unapologetically!

...

Meanwhile,

as Nanjiang Broad Fisheries Co. employees watched the live stream and posted comments on the company's time,

the same scene unfolded at Nanjiang Xiaocaishen Beer Co.

However, compared to Xu Yong's anger,

Xiaocaishen's general manager was much more laid-back.

Firstly, he had no personal connection with Chen Jianhai, and they had no prior interactions.

Distance breeds admiration.

Secondly, "Little Horse" wasn't his main stage.

After "Little Horse" ended, the Nanjiang Beer Festival would be Xiaocaishen's real time to shine.

Nonetheless,

the necessary comments still had to be posted,

and even the general manager himself logged into the account to post a comment.

"Still, who is the boss of Lang Ai Hotel anyway?"

"Runs things quite well!"

Seeing the screen filled with "Lang Ai Hotel" comments,

the Xiaocaishen general manager became increasingly curious about Chen Jianhai, even feeling a sense of admiration and affinity.

Although he had never met Chen Jianhai,

a strong person is always respected,

for instance, when hosting events,

he and Xu Yong spent the most on sponsorship fees but achieved little,

whereas Chen Jianhai effortlessly drew all media and public attention to his hotel through a "Little Island" marathon,

that's skill!

"Nanjiang has such a talented individual,"

"I must meet him for a meal sometime and get to know him better."

The Xiaocaishen general manager's eyes sparkled with strong interest!!

...

At the Little Island Hotel.

The "strong" Chen Jianhai was lying on a massage chair, scrolling through his phone, anxiously waiting for Minister Xie's reply.

"Ding dong~"

His phone chimed,

Chen Jianhai quickly opened it to see Minister Xie's message:

"Boss, these two people are indeed hotel employees, they were just hired after passing the interview a few days ago."

"They didn't report to you?"

Chen Jianhai's eyes widened,

They really are my employees!?!?

Thinking back carefully, Chen Jianhai edited his message:

"You mentioned earlier that the hotel had two new infirmary staff, are these them?"

Minister Xie: "Yes, boss, that's them."

"I just double-checked, it's definitely them."

"Alright then."

Relieved to have confirmation, Chen Jianhai finally let out a sigh of relief.

As for the two employees who didn't report to work on time...

Their pinky hook was so playful, it's okay if they didn't report immediately!

After all, they were his people sooner or later, no need to be too harsh.

But speaking of which!

Minister Xie's knack for hiring is really getting better and better!!!

Good work should be rewarded!
