The tall, skinny guy refused to accept it; this was completely different from what he had anticipated.
"No way, you have to give me more money! Otherwise, I'll block here and stop your business from moving forward!"
The tall, skinny guy thought he could manipulate Chu Jiangyue, but in the next second, he discovered that he was bound by a force.
[Detected customer behavior affecting hotel operations, proceeding with expulsion, issuing a warning for punishment!]
This voice could only be heard by Chu Jiangyue, while others only saw the scene where the tall, skinny guy directly disappeared.
Those present saw this situation and felt suspicious. Those who had originally harbored some thoughts quietly abandoned them.
"Boss Chu, what's going on? He..."
Someone with a bit more courage asked a question.
"That gentleman's behavior just now affected the hotel's normal operations, and the hotel system deemed expulsion, with a warning issued.
But everyone can rest assured, as long as you don't do anything that violates hotel rules, there won't be any problems.
Alright, the next person needing a recharge can start now."
Chu Jiangyue didn't want to elaborate; as long as they understood that hotel rules were absolutely inviolable, it was enough.
With the tall, skinny guy serving as a cautionary example, the following recharges proceeded very smoothly, and Chu Jiangyue saw more and more customer information on his panel.
"Boss Chu, I've heard the hotel also provides accommodation?"
Someone asked about accommodation, and Chu Jiangyue immediately perked up.
"Yes, today is the second day of the opening ceremony with special offers, tomorrow is the last day. Single rooms are 100 copper coins per day, settled daily."
"This place is so shabby, why would you make this choice?"
Someone wanted to advise him not to act impulsively.
But it seemed that person had made up his mind and wanted to stay at Jianglin Hotel.
"Boss Chu, I'll stay for 10 days, moving in today!"
"No problem, you'll travel by swiping your card here."
Chu Jiangyue operated the virtual screen in front of him, letting that person swipe his card.
Xiong Changyuan happily swiped his card and then hurried off to pack his things.
Many people said that Xiong Changyuan's brain had gone haywire, but Chu Jiangyue marvelled at this person's foresight.
You know, the temperature has been gradually rising these days, and many places are experiencing water and power outages.
Without air conditioning, even a big villa isn't as useful as her thatched cottage.
However, Xiong Changyuan wasn't the only one with foresight.
Chu Jiangyue looked at the familiar four people in front of him and smiled.
"Mr. Shen, are you here to stay this time?"
The first time they came, she was so eager to promote accommodation, but was refused.
Now look, isn't he here to find her?
Shen Zhigui rubbed his nose; the first time he entered the hotel, he did have a sense of caution towards Chu Jiangyue.
"We're all here to stay; are there rooms available?"
"Yes, how many days are you staying?"
"10 days."
100 copper coins a day, 10 days is 10 silver coins.
"Sure, just line up and swipe your card."
Once Shen Zhigui and the other three had completed their accommodation, Chu Jiangyue reflected on the task still lacking five people, falling into contemplation.
However, Chu Jiangyue's luck must have turned, as after processing the accommodation for Shen Zhigui and the four others, more people came seeking to stay.
Among them were Cui Hao and Jiang Zhenzhen, with Jiang Zhenzhen's room fee being paid by Cui Hao, who also swiped his card on her behalf.
The remaining three were neighbors of Shen Zhigui, perhaps thinking that staying with Shen Zhigui meant they'll have advantages.
Successfully hosting 10 people who completed their stay, Chu Jiangyue received a notification of task completion.
After everyone bought their items and left, Chu Jiangyue checked her task completion notification.
[Task: Host guests and successfully accommodate them (10/10), completed
Task reward: Unlock the Double Room on the 2nd floor (10 units), Unlock 5 foods: Stir-fried Vegetables, Braised Pork, Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds, Tomato Eggs, Tofu with Scallions, Experience +100]
[Meet Level 1 hotel upgrade conditions (100/10), upgrade now? Yes/No]
Of course, Chu Jiangyue clicked yes; if not now, then when?
[Hotel upgrading, upgrade takes 10 minutes, please everyone remain stationary, consequences at your own risk]
Now, Chu Jiangyue was the only person in the hotel; as long as she stood still, it was fine.
In the next moment, Chu Jiangyue heard a clattering sound and saw the dust flying outside through the hotel door.
From outside, Jianglin Hotel was enveloped by a cloud of dust, with various construction tools flying around in the dust.
The 10-minute time quickly passed, the thatched cottage turned into a mud brick and tile house, and Chu Jiangyue's front desk went from an old wooden cabinet to a carved wooden cabinet.
The hall's area also doubled significantly, adding a set of four-seat tables and chairs.
Previously, there were rooms only on the first floor, now there were rooms on the second floor, and Chu Jiangyue's room automatically moved to the third floor.
The kitchen's area also expanded, with the most notable change being the original single-door refrigerator turned into a double-door one, with more variety of ingredients inside.
Of course, the most noticeable change was Chu Jiangyue's room.
The dressing room was separated out, filled with various clothes and jewelry, with the clothes Chu Jiangyue brought crammed into the corner.
Besides the dressing room, there was also a newly added open study, connected to the bedroom like the dressing room.
"How is it! I said whatever the host wants, it's all here!"
Chu Jiangyue was quite satisfied; from now on, when she doesn't intend to go out, she can achieve dressing freedom right in the hotel.
Hmm, which girl doesn't like to wear pretty little skirts~
[Task release: Please host 20 guests and complete their first recharge
Task reward: To be unlocked]
"Host, host, new task coming! You can post an announcement, notifying all hotel guests~"
Little Fox perched on Chu Jiangyue's shoulder, reminding her.
"Why didn't you mention before that announcements could be made?"
If she could make announcements, why put all that effort into distributing flyers?
"Host, this is a function available only after the hotel upgrade, and handing out flyers can expand customers, announcements can only reach those who have processed their Identity Card"
Their impact is indeed different.
"Alright then, I'll post an announcement now."
[Announcement: Good news, good news! Jianglin Hotel has something new!!
10 double rooms newly renovated and unoccupied, with electricity, water, and air conditioning, what are you waiting for? Move fast, the slow will miss out!
PS: Our hotel doesn't just offer steamed buns, there are Braised Pork and Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds too~]
Chu Jiangyue edited the announcement and sent it out directly.
Everyone who had visited Jianglin Hotel and successfully recharged, upon Chu Jiangyue releasing the announcement, had a mandatory virtual screen appear before them.
The virtual screen prominently displayed the announcement in bold, not allowing closure without being opened.
At Prosperity Heights No.1 Villa, Shen Zhigui, Su Zhucheng, Jiang He, and Lin Xuyuan were just discussing things in the villa when they received the announcement, showing surprise upon seeing it.
"The hotel has something new, they even have Braised Pork!"
At Jianglin Hotel.
After posting the announcement, Chu Jiangyue entered the kitchen to start making breakfast.
She had been busy earlier with customers recharging, processing cards, and buying steamed buns, without time to eat.
Once Chu Jiangyue prepared a dish and soup for herself and brought them to the hall to have a meal, she welcomed the first guest returning today.
