Chapter 330: Six Rounds of Prize Rain

"Our hotel successfully hosted the filming of the 'Sweetheart Mr.' crew and the marathon event on Pony Island."

"A few days ago, at the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association's Five-Star Hotel Chef Competition, our chef team won, and our head chef Qiao Ni earned the title of top chef in Nanjing hotels."

"And I myself have successfully entered the art circle, becoming an unshakable force in the anime industry."

"All of this,"

"Except for the last part which I won through my own charm and talent!"

"Everything else was achieved through everyone's hard work and dedication!"

"You all have worked hard!!!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

Though Chocolate had joined recently, he was deeply moved by the atmosphere and clapped vigorously.

"If the boss gives out red envelopes, we're not tired at all!!"

Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.

"You are young…!!!"

Chen Jianhai pointed at the employee and laughed, "Not only will there be red envelopes, but the basic salary for our hotel employees will also be increased in the new year! Everyone's year-end bonus of 14 salaries will be credited to your accounts."

"Increased salaries and 14-month bonuses?"

"Thank you, boss!!!"

"Boss, you're the best!!!!"

The employees were ecstatic, cheering and clapping.

Most of them were students from Nanjing Tourism Vocational College who hadn't graduated yet. Although they had signed contracts, working at the hotel was still considered an internship.

Chen Jianhai always provided the promised bonuses and holiday benefits, and now, at the end of the year, they were even getting 14-month bonuses!

This was almost unbelievable!

"Is a 14-month bonus such a big deal?"

Cui Meng and Huang Baichuan, unaware of the hotel's actual situation, looked surprised.

After all, a 14-month bonus was quite normal, so why were the people at Long'ai Hotel so excited?

Once the crowd calmed down, Chen Jianhai spoke again:

"However,"

"Running a hotel is like living life; it can't always be joyful, and there will be farewells."

"Last year, although our hotel welcomed many new partners, one employee also left."

The atmosphere turned somber.

Chen Jianhai looked at everyone in the hall and slowly said, "Most of you here will graduate this year."

"After graduation, some of you might leave the hotel for family, love, or dreams, moving to other cities, departments, or industries."

"Parting can be sad, but it's also the start of a journey towards your dreams."

"When you're tired, annoyed, or homesick, come back to the hotel and find Brother Hai, and I'll waive your room fee!"

Chen Jianhai's heartfelt words didn't seem to resonate with the employees,

"Stop with the nonsense!! We want red envelopes!!"

"Yeah!! We want red envelopes!!"

"Boss, we want red envelopes!!"

"Boss in women's clothes!!!"

Listening to the employees' shouts with a face full of black lines, Chen Jianhai rolled his eyes and started discussing the specifics of the annual meeting:

"For tonight's annual meeting, I've prepared special holiday reward red envelopes for every employee performing on stage."

"Aside from the 'Daydream Lottery' conducted by computer, there will be six rounds of prize rain."

"Each round of prize rain will have different colored cards."

"Orange cards are for game packages, red cards are for beauty and massage packages, and blue cards are for gaming laptops and phone packages."

"In addition, I have three silver cards for the grand prize of the annual meeting: a five-day trip for two to any city in the world!"

"After grabbing your cards, make sure to keep them safe and redeem your prizes after the annual meeting."

As if worried that the employees might not know what the prizes were,

Chen Jianhai's words were immediately followed by a big screen behind him listing the prizes for each card color:

Game recharge cards, makeup sets, neck and shoulder massagers, adjustable video display VR headsets, smartphones, gaming laptops, and a five-day trip for two to any city in the world, all clearly displayed.

"I'm determined to get an orange card tonight!"

"I want to draw ten 648s!! I want to boost my power!! I want to draw heroes!!! I want to be invincible!!!"

"I want the world travel grand prize!! My mom has been planning to visit a church abroad, and if I win, she and my dad can travel abroad!"

"They say playing horror games in VR is awesome. I must get a VR headset this time!!"

The employees were all eager.

Cui Meng watched in amazement.

Wow, how generous! 

Just roughly estimating, these prizes must be worth millions. How much did Long'ai Hotel earn?

Holding the microphone, Chen Jianhai continued:

"I want to emphasize one thing: all the dishes and desserts for today's annual meeting are provided by 44 other five-star hotel restaurants in Nanjing!"

"The menu with the names of the dishes and the hotels that made them is displayed on the screen."

"If you like the food, eat more."

"If you don't like it, don't waste it; finish it and then give them bad reviews on their rating apps!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Another LED screen behind Chen Jianhai listed the dishes and the hotels that prepared them, making it all public.

This move truly stunned Su Jie.

Cui Meng almost spit out his drink.

How petty!

"Now, let's start the first round of prize rain!"

Chen Jianhai waved his left hand,

and in the next moment, colorful, dense, and dazzling cards rained down like snowflakes.

"Orange! I want orange!!"

"I want a red card!"

"I want to travel abroad!"

For a moment, almost everyone stood up, jumping and grabbing at the cards.

But soon, they realized that grabbing the cards was nearly impossible.

There were just too many cards, and finding the desired color among them was incredibly difficult.

In the end, they stopped being picky and just grabbed whatever they could.

Huang Baichuan, Cui Meng, and Su Jie, being guests, felt it inappropriate to compete with the hotel employees and let the cards fall in front of them, taking what they could.

However, the CEO and key members of the Xiaolang BBQ restaurant at the same table had no reservations, eagerly reaching out to grab the cards.

Their practiced movements were as if they were popping balloons in their own backyard.

"Okay! Prize rain over!" Chen Jianhai shouted.

The remaining cards in the air vanished without a trace.

The hotel employees quickly sat down, excitedly checking their loot.

"Makeup set, neck massager, game recharge card… I don't even play games, the game card is useless to me!"

"Give me the game card!! I'll trade my makeup set with you!"

"Darn it… didn't get a phone, but got a gaming laptop."
