I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

Chen Jianhai had never bought flowers before.

The reason he knew this place sold flowers was because he had accompanied Xu Bo here once to buy some.

In a moment of urgency, he directly asked the doorman to drive him here.

Due to the tight schedule, he didn't have time to carefully select, so he simply picked up a bunch of white flowers displayed outside and asked the shop owner:

"Sister, how much are these flowers?"

"268."

The flower shop owner was very busy, helping another customer select flowers, and without even looking up, she shouted the price.

So expensive!

Chen Jianhai was stunned as he looked at the eight white flowers in front of him.

Just this?!

268???!

They don't even look that great!

The roses in the garden of his Lion Castle Hotel are fresher and bigger than these!

They look much more tender, and the whole garden is full of them.

If eight flowers cost 268 yuan, then the flowers in his garden would be worth a fortune!

"This is insane... the cost-performance ratio is almost as bad as a night's stay at my hotel!"

Chen Jianhai muttered to himself: "If I had known these flowers were so expensive, I might as well have opened a flower shop next to the hotel."

"Maybe I could have even reached the pinnacle of life by selling flowers."

Although he muttered, he still obediently took out his phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

"Sister, I've transferred the money!"

After saying that, Chen Jianhai grabbed the flowers, as if holding a knife, and ran towards the door.

As he ran, Chen Jianhai suddenly felt a cool sensation on his leg.

He looked down and saw a small stream of water dripping from the flower wrapping paper onto his leg, soaking his pants from top to bottom.

Crap!

Why are these flowers dripping water!

Chen Jianhai quickly held the flowers upright, cradling them like a precious treasure, and ran out.

"Back to the hotel!"

Chen Jianhai got into the car, placed the flowers carefully, and quickly pulled out a few tissues to wipe his pants.

Fortunately, Chen Jianhai's pants were beige today, so the water stains weren't too obvious, and a quick wipe was enough.

The new doorman's eyes lit up, and he cheekily said:

"Boss, these flowers are quite pretty!"

Chen Jianhai paused while wiping his pants, "Really?"

"Really! They're beautiful!" The new doorman said with absolute certainty.

Chen Jianhai was pleased.

He held up the bunch of flowers and looked at them from different angles,

Hmmmm... still not as pretty as the flowers in his own garden.

If he had known, he would have picked a few from his garden before returning to Nanjiang.

Although the car had air conditioning, the water on Chen Jianhai's pants quickly evaporated due to his body heat.

As they approached the hotel, Chen Jianhai took out his phone and sent a message to Wen Zifan.

"Meet me at the UU Cream Ice Cream Shop on Huanhai Road in 15 minutes!"

...

Langai Hotel

Wen Zifan raised her wrist, looking at the message from Chen Jianhai, her amber peach-blossom eyes showing a hint of confusion.

The boss is back?

Then why isn't he coming back to the hotel?

With this question in mind, Wen Zifan put down her work and walked out of the hotel in her high heels.

The UU Cream Ice Cream Shop wasn't far from the hotel.

From a distance, Wen Zifan saw Chen Jianhai standing next to the ice cream shop, his hands behind his back, seemingly looking around.

"Boss!" Wen Zifan waved at Chen Jianhai.

Chen Jianhai turned towards the voice.

Under the bright sunlight,

Wen Zifan's chestnut hair shimmered with a soft, glossy light, her white professional skirt hugging her waist, her rose-colored lips curved in a smile, her peach-blossom eyes filled with a moist glow as she ran towards him.

Though her personality was tougher than anyone's,

when she looked at him, her eyes were more beautiful than the moon.

...Damn,

who could resist this!

Chen Jianhai's throat went dry, and his heart skipped several beats.

His hand gripping the flowers behind his back tightened, almost snapping the stems.

"Boss,"

Wen Zifan stopped in front of Chen Jianhai, looking up at him, her amber eyes filled with joy.

"When did you get back? Are you coming back to the hotel?"

Chen Jianhai looked down at Wen Zifan, her face flushed from running,

his throat involuntarily moved,

He wanted to say something, but felt like he couldn't get anything out.

After a long pause,

Chen Jianhai pulled out the newly bought flowers from behind and held them up in the air, his throat letting out a sound:

"Uh,"

Wen Zifan was stunned, and after a while, she tentatively asked:

"Are these... for me?"

Chen Jianhai's face turned red all the way to his neck, his gaze shifting uncomfortably to the side, his feet shuffling, his mouth silent, but the flowers in his hand were firmly pushed forward.

Her peach-blossom eyes curved, and she took the white bouquet with both hands, her sweet smile like honey-coated candy:

"These flowers are so beautiful!"

"Mm." Chen Jianhai responded with a red face.

Her peach-blossom eyes gently touched the smooth petals, her eyes curving as she looked at Chen Jianhai, her peach-colored heart blatantly shooting "biubiubiu" at him, making Chen Jianhai's legs go weak.

"Alright, get back to work."

Chen Jianhai couldn't take it anymore and directly told her to leave.

If she didn't leave soon, he was really afraid this bold woman might do something else to him.

Her peach-blossom eyes tilted her head, smiling as she watched Chen Jianhai's flustered state,

A flash of boldness and courage appeared in her amber pupils,

"You gave me flowers, so I'll give you a stamp!"

Before Chen Jianhai could react,

A pair of hands wrapped around his neck, a faint fragrance mixed with the scent of flowers filled his nose, and a soft, moist sensation touched his cheek.

It all happened as lightly as a breeze passing through his fingers,

Just as Chen Jianhai wanted to reach out and catch it, the breeze slipped away.

What just... happened?

Chen Jianhai stood still, completely petrified, staring blankly at Wen Zifan.

A few strands of wavy bangs floated on her forehead, her peach-blossom eyes looking at Chen Jianhai,

Suddenly,

Her pink tongue peeked out, lightly licking her lips,

With a mix of shyness, reproach, and a hint of boldness, she said:

"You silly man!"

...

Chen Jianhai's mind went blank.

He stood there like an idiot.

Wen Zifan gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, cradling the flowers in her arm, looking very satisfied with the "idiot" in front of her, much like a playboy who had just teased a good girl.

"Boss, you go ahead with your work."

"I'll get back to mine."

After saying that,

Wen Zifan lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her right foot, her chestnut hair swaying to her waist as she gracefully spun halfway,

Then she walked,

Elegantly heading back to the hotel.

After a long while,

Chen Jianhai shakily wiped his face with his hand and brought it to his nose to smell.

No scent!

...Wait,

She just kissed me and left?

Without even an explanation?!!

Is there no justice in this world!!!

Chen Jianhai's heart was pounding, and he wanted to chase after her and grab that damn peach-blossom-eyed woman, but the matters on Xiao Majia Island were still waiting for him.

If he chased after her now, it would definitely delay important business.

Damn it...

Chen Jianhai didn't know whether to curse Xiao Majia Island for ruining his moment,

or to curse himself for reacting too slowly and letting that peach-blossom-eyed woman have her way.

"Boss, give me a large bucket of chocolate ice cream!"

Chen Jianhai was burning up, so he turned and walked into the UU Cream Ice Cream Shop, ready to cool himself down with a cold drink.

The latest chapter is first published on 69shuba.com!

As soon as he looked up, he met the ice cream shop owner's gaze, which was a mix of envy, jealousy, disdain, and pity.

Carrying a large bucket of chocolate ice cream, Chen Jianhai got back into the car.

The new doorman sneakily glanced at Chen Jianhai through the rearview mirror, only to see him shoveling the large bucket of chocolate ice cream into his mouth.

Good lord... such a big bucket!

If he eats all that, won't he have a stomachache tonight?

Although he wanted to cheekily ask a few more questions, remembering that his bonus and salary were still in this man's hands,

He decisively chose to keep his mouth shut and drive in silence.

When they arrived at Fumanyu Pier,

Chen Jianhai, still holding the half-eaten bucket of chocolate ice cream, jumped onto the Ocean Star luxury cruise ship, heading towards Xiao Majia Island on the other side of the ocean.

"Woo woo..."

The ship's horn sounded.

White waves crashed against the hull, carrying Chen Jianhai further away from Nanjiang.

The cool sea breeze hit his face, and combined with the chocolate in his system, it finally calmed Chen Jianhai down.

He raised his hand, touched his face, and grinned~~

Hehehe.

An idiot-like smile involuntarily spread across his face.

...No wonder Xu Bo always gives his girlfriends flowers.

Turns out giving flowers can lead to such good things!

Chen Jianhai felt like he had learned something new, his eyes gleaming mischievously.

If she likes them, next time I'll pick a few more for her from Zaomen!

...

By the time they reached Xiao Majia Island, it was already past 5 PM.

When Chen Jianhai entered the island hotel, he happened to run into Rui Keya leading Zhang Mingyuan and Song Zhan back from the island.

"Boss!"

Rui Keya saw Chen Jianhai and quickly called out, signaling that the guests were here.

Chen Jianhai turned his head and his eyes met Song Zhan's in a deep gaze.

"He's your boss?!"

Song Zhan pointed at Chen Jianhai, his face showing a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Rui Keya was puzzled: "Yes, he's our boss."

Did he know our boss?

As he wondered,

Chen Jianhai had already spread his arms and ran over like an eagle catching a chick, grabbing Song Zhan and spinning him around.

"Uncle!"

"I've missed you so much!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would've picked you up!"

"Look at you, coming all by yourself, so formal!"

Rui Keya, Zhang Mingyuan: "..."

...

"Boss, this is Zhang Mingyuan, the director of He Youran Sanatorium."

"Director Zhang, hello, I'm Chen Jianhai."

Chen Jianhai slightly bent over, shaking Zhang Mingyuan's hand with strength and enthusiasm.

After shaking hands, Chen Jianhai happily stared at the white-haired old man.

This is fate!

He had been wondering what the old man's name was, and now he unexpectedly met him here.

Just as he was waiting for Rui Keya to tell him the white-haired old man's name, Rui Keya frowned slightly, looking troubled.

He had thought Song Zhan was just an old man accompanying Zhang Mingyuan to scout the sanatorium, so he hadn't asked for his name.

And why was the boss looking at him with such anticipation?

Wasn't he supposed to be very familiar with Song Zhan? Did he still need an introduction??

The twists and turns in this situation were beyond Rui Keya's understanding, and Zhang Mingyuan was equally confused.

Finally, the white-haired old man smiled helplessly and extended his hand, "I'm Song Zhan."

"Uncle Song, hello!"

Chen Jianhai's eyes showed a hint of triumph.

"Come! Director Zhang, Uncle Song, let's go in and eat!"

With that, Chen Jianhai led the way, and the four of them walked towards the restaurant.

Zhang Mingyuan raised an eyebrow, glancing at Chen Jianhai and then at his old friend, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Song Zhan just smiled wryly and let out a long sigh.

In fact, the most distinctive and popular feature of Xiao Majia Island was the beachside open-air barbecue.

With delicious food, fine sand underfoot, the sound of waves, and watching the sunset turn into a starry sky, it was truly a wonderful experience.

Unfortunately, these two old men's teeth might not handle barbecue well.

And eating too much greasy food at night wasn't good for their health.

It was better to stick to light and refined dishes.

So Chen Jianhai decisively led the two old men to the Dafei Zhouzhang themed restaurant.

"Hello, welcome."

Seeing the guests, two sweet and youthful staff members warmly greeted them and led the four to an elegant private room.

"Director Zhang, Uncle Song, this is our Jasmine Hotel's Dafei Zhouzhang themed restaurant."

"The food is fresh, and the flavors are unique. You won't find this in Zaomen or Huoxiang!"

As soon as they sat down, Chen Jianhai enthusiastically promoted his restaurant.

Song Zhan and Zhang Mingyuan took the menus,

only to find that the ink-painted menus were categorized using various poetic names, dynasties, and local customs.

In the first category of dishes, there was also a "Yue Man Nanjiang" themed section.

Chen Jianhai enthusiastically introduced: "The 'Yue Man Nanjiang' themed dishes were successfully registered as Nanjiang City's unique cultural heritage dishes last year and are the signature dishes of our restaurant."

"Among them, 'Dragon Snake Wind and Rain,' 'White Gull New Delay, Pillar Under Blossoms,' and 'Reverse River Nanjiang Scroll Rainbow, Cloud Sea Road Lost in Laughter and Flower Wind' are the main dishes we served to Mayor Sui."

"You two should try them."

Zhang Mingyuan listened to the introduction and curiously flipped through the menu.

Song Zhan, however, turned to the "Tang Dynasty" section and ordered "All Things Since Ancient Times Flow East" and "Release the White Deer Among the Green Cliffs."

Then he closed the menu and began examining the room's decor.

As he looked around, Song Zhan's expression grew increasingly strange as he stared at Chen Jianhai.

Enamel vases are easy to come by, but golden-thread nanmu is hard to find!

This entire golden-thread nanmu screen, something others would treasure at home, this guy just casually placed it in the restaurant as decoration??

And this was just one private room.

The vases, porcelain, and teapots in the room, anything with shape and form, were all expensive.

Just how deep were this little boss's pockets?!

Song Zhan gave Chen Jianhai a deep look, a hint of doubt flashing in his mind.
