After having breakfast made by Mamiko in the restaurant, Zhao Cheng followed Lin to lead the way and began to get familiar with his hotel. After spending a while to visit, he finally got a rough idea of the structure distribution of Fumeng Pavilion.
In addition to the external hot spring baths and gardens, the main building of Fumeng Hall is not completely full of guest rooms. The restaurant and reception hall on the first floor are not to mention. There are also indoor entertainment venues such as fitness, chess and card, billiards, table tennis and other indoor entertainment venues on the fifth floor of the hotel. Unfortunately, due to the lack of guests and insufficient maintenance, it was temporarily shut down.
After roughly following this big circle, Zhao Cheng suddenly remembered the voyeuristic system he found on the computer last night. In order to confirm some things, he asked Lin to take him to the hotel security department.
The one who opened the door for them was an elderly uncle wearing formal uniforms and honest appearance.
Zhao Cheng has seen the other party’s information on the employee list
Chen An, 58 years old, married local, now the only two remaining security personnel and maintenance technicians in the hotel, was also one of the old hotel staff when his grandfather was alive.
...You are our new boss? Mr. Zhao's grandson? Welcome, my name is Chen An Uncle Chen respectfully stretched out his right hand
Hello, Uncle Chen Zhao Cheng shook hands with the other party politely: I want to check the hotel's surveillance equipment. Is it convenient now?
Of course it is convenient. You are the boss and you can come to patrol at any time. Come with me. The monitoring room is in the room inside. Chen An nodded and turned around to lead the way.
Zhao Cheng took Lin and followed Uncle Chen into the security room, but his eyes noticed the exposed pistol handle under the other party's clothes.
Uncle Chen, what is the public security situation around the hotel? I see you are equipped with a pistol? Zhao Cheng immediately asked
For him who came from the strict gun ban environment of Daxia Country, it really felt fresh to see an ordinary hotel security guard carrying a gun with him. According to Zhao Cheng's understanding, the gun management in Nanao Country is quite loose
...Don't worry, Boss Zhao, the security in the area where our hotel is located is very good. It's just a disabled pistol, not lethal. Uncle Chen lifted up his clothes and exposed the square-headed riot-proof electric shock gun in the holster
In fact, when Mr. Zhao was still there, the security in the store was led by bionic robots. I used to be just a full-time maintenance technician, because later the security robots were taken away by the former manager, so Manager Anna asked me to drive the duck and put them on the shelves and work as a part-time guard. He scratched the back of his head and explained
So that's it, then I'll feel relieved. Zhao Cheng nodded
Since the guards here do not need to be equipped with real pistols in Nanao, it means that the surrounding environment is indeed very safe. I think so, otherwise how could my grandfather choose to build a hotel here.
However, when it comes to public security, it was reported in recent news that a robber wandering around in Shangwang City who robbed the Als had not been caught yet. Uncle Chen suddenly looked at Xiaolin beside the new boss, turned around and mentioned to Zhao Cheng.
Boss Zhao, if you are really worried about safety, Bam and I have a gun certificate and can wear real guns. I remember that in order to prevent it, the master bought backup self-defense weapons for emergencies, and they were all handed over to Manager Anna for safekeeping.
Oh, well, I'll ask Anna if I need it later...
As he said that, Zhao Cheng came to the computer in the monitoring room and sat down
He looked at the rows of surveillance screens on the wall, and quickly read the surveillance screen of the entire hotel in front of the security system control terminal.
As expected, it is normal and legal security perspective
The images connected to the security room are all ordinary cameras set in hotel corridors and public places inside and outside. They are completely different from the voyeuristic monitoring on the computer of grandpa in his room.
After confirming that he was really the only one who could connect to those peeping angles, Zhao Cheng took Lin away from the monitoring room with satisfaction.
Lin, if you have your own business, go and do it. I already remember the road inside the hotel
Well, okay, husband Lin nodded obediently. She does have some cleaning work to do today.
Zhao Cheng took a look at the time and it was still early at noon, so he returned to the first floor lobby to find Ms. Anna
I'm back, Anna, do you have time to chat? Or is he busy? He leaned against the counter and greeted Ms. Anna behind the computer.
Sorry, Mr. Zhao Cheng, I actually hope I am very busy, but the former manager used his connections to take away the source of customers that he used to cooperate with us. The number of customers nowadays, alas...
Anna rubbed her temples in distress and raised her head: Moreover, because of the chaos in the past six months and the lack of services, the rating agency has lowered its evaluation of our hotel.
Don't worry, everything will be fine, Anna Zhao Cheng comforted
Also, just call me Zhao Cheng, it's so kind. What you have done for me and this hotel has made me wonder how to repay you.
Anna smiled and looked at the eyebrows of the young man in front of her who looked a little bit like the deceased Mr. Zhao, but she did not refuse too much: OK, as you wish, Zhao Cheng
How about it? Do you think this hotel has been disrupted by the former manager's asshole, but it is still very good? Anna asked
It's pretty good here, even better than I thought. Zhao Cheng praised it truthfully
The decoration and layout design of Fumeng Pavilion are both of them. This may not be the kind of medium and large hotel that is extremely luxurious, but in the past, it must have been the preferred place for a comfortable and leisurely vacation.
The most important thing is that all this is a pie that fell from the sky and was given in vain
I am very happy to hear your comments like this. Zhao Cheng, the master has put in his life all his efforts in this hotel. Anna said with relief
She turned around, poured a cup of herbal tea for Zhao Cheng from behind the counter and handed it over: So what else do you want to know?
Zhao Cheng: Well, let me talk about the Al people. I learned about the current situation of the Al people from her, but I think locals like you should know more
Anna took a sip of tea and asked curiously: So, in countries outside of South Ao, are there really no Ayres?
Yes, no, as far as I know, except for the individual examples of hearing on the Internet, there are indeed no Aier people in places other than New Continents. Zhao Cheng confirmed, and he asked: As a native of Nanao, how do you view your relationship with them?
Anna put down the teacup, ... Well, okay, actually, I personally feel very conflicted about it
In South Aurora, can you believe that most people here subconsciously think that the Als are just... smart animals, but for me, this kind of high-ranking idea is too crazy. You should know that the scientific evidence now has clearly shown that a long time ago, humans and the Als had common ancestors.
Anna smiled sarcastically and continued: Someone once refuted me that we and the monkeys and gorillas also have common ancestors, but I think this statement of stealing the bell is ridiculous. After all, the Als have the same advanced thinking and wisdom as us. They can speak and communicate, have language and words, and have civilizations and countries in history.
Although their ability to learn new things is very slow, several times slower than humans, it is difficult to learn our technology... But this does not mean that they are animals. People who think so are too stupid. Unfortunately, there are many such ignorant people in our society. Frowning, Anna took another sip of herbal tea to suppress her anger.
I heard from Lin that all the Als are slaves now?
Well, yes, that's true
There is really no Ayre who can live freely? None of them?
In fact, it may not be the case, but that kind of exception exists very complicated, because as I said to you last night, even if individuals are accidentally free, their situation will not be better than when they were slaves. Their free body cannot last for too long. With today's technological means, even if the escaped slaves run into the mountains and jungles, they cannot hide until they are possessed by the government or individuals again, or even hurt.
...No matter what I or someone like me thinks, this is the current situation of the current operation of the Southern Ao Kingdom. Anna rubbed the mouth of the cup and fell silent
OK, let's change the topic, this is too heavy
Zhao Cheng waved his hand and asked instead: Tell me about my grandfather, what kind of person was he like during his lifetime?
Oh, Master, Ah... Anna pondered, and a nostalgic smile appeared on her face.
He is a good person, a very special kind person. Anna's tone was inexplicable, her face suddenly turned red, and she said meaningfully: No matter what others say, I think he is a kind-hearted person, and it is also very interesting and has a story. He said that he was a scientist when he was young. Can you believe it? Haha...
Scientist? To be honest, Zhao Cheng is quite surprised
He could not replace the newly formed image of the old perverted grandfather, who was a voyeur grandfather, with an old scholar in a white coat.
Yes, I didn't believe it when I first met him, but I still believed it later
Anna did not talk about this in detail, but continued to recall the beautiful past: I didn't know his family, nor did I see his wife. The master almost never talked about his family during his lifetime. For the past, he only talked about his past dreams.
Dream? Could it be this hotel? Zhao Cheng asked
No, but it's meaningless. Even the master has already let go. After all, his age... Anna did not answer positively, but just shook her head helplessly
Fortunately, despite not being accompanied by my family, I am still very happy that he spent his last days peacefully
What about you? Anna, how did you know my grandfather and come to this hotel? Zhao Cheng was interested in transferring the problem to the other party: I read the employee information and said, you have worked here for more than fifteen years, and you were only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time?
Oh, me? Ms. Anna unexpectedly looked at Zhao Cheng, who was very interested, and her memory returned to the past, and she couldn't help but smile: I used to be a maid here, although I hated working here very much at that time
My family was very poor at that time, and my parents forced me to come out and work a job. She said nostalgic.
But who knows that I will actually meet the love of my life here...
Listening to the other party's tone, Zhao Cheng suddenly felt a little unbelievable and almost choked by the tea.
No, wait...ah...Miss Anna, why don't you mean...my grandpa!?
Humph, are you surprised? Maybe I shouldn't have said it so bluntly. Anna nodded and admitted generously
True or fake... Zhao Cheng carefully looked at the beautiful lady in front of him
When his grandfather passed away last year, he was seventy-six years old, but the age difference between the two was 45 years old.
...That's how it is. Although he is almost my father's father's father at his age, I still fall in love with him... Anna smiled and said seriously to Zhao Cheng
I don't know what to call our relationship, but it didn't go smoothly at the beginning... Considering that I hated the work here at the beginning, I definitely didn't like him when I first met him, but... Later, I still felt good about his attitude towards people. He was really charming when he was serious.
We are not married because he doesn't want to tie me up, but, I want him to love me as much as I love him
My dear grandpa Ah, you are so strong
More than ten years ago... Grandpa is 61 years old. As grandpa, he can still control his underage little sister who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. And seeing the selfless behavior of Anna now trying hard to save the hotel and giving it to her, this is still true love.
Zhao Cheng sighed in his heart: ... Sorry, it evokes your memories. Anna, you must be very sad after my grandfather passed away.
Yes, although I was actually mentally prepared because of the age gap, when this day really came...
Anna's eyes dimmed a little
She shook her head again: However, when I discovered that the former manager was trying to take away the property rights here, my anger overwhelmed my sadness... Fortunately, I didn't let him succeed
Now, I just want to continue this place full of memories, as if he is still there... Anna looked at Zhao Cheng's eyes, and at this moment, her eyes were full of tenderness.
You can...or we can, don't worry, Anna
Zhao Cheng gave her a promise that was safe enough
At this moment, he finally understood what Anna said, this is almost her home, and he also understood why she tried her best to do her best for this hotel.
Since there has been a cause and effect with Ms. Anna, Zhao Cheng knew in his heart that he would never consider the option of selling this hotel no matter what.
Zhao Cheng did consider this plan in his mind. After all, there is a possibility that the hotel will never be able to revive again. In the worst case, as himself who does not know how to do business, reselling the hotel is undoubtedly the choice to maximize profits. At that time, he has a net worth of tens of millions and can still rely on the land to collect rent continuously, which is enough for himself and his sister to spend their whole life in any place in the world.
But although Zhao Cheng thinks he is very bad and scumbag, he still has a bottom line in his behavior. At least Zhao Cheng can't do something that makes a woman who has great kindness to him sad.
In addition to the external hot spring baths and gardens, the main building of Fumeng Hall is not completely full of guest rooms. The restaurant and reception hall on the first floor are not to mention. There are also indoor entertainment venues such as fitness, chess and card, billiards, table tennis and other indoor entertainment venues on the fifth floor of the hotel. Unfortunately, due to the lack of guests and insufficient maintenance, it was temporarily shut down.
