Chapter 8: The First Guest
After returning to the hotel lobby, I sat on the couch and sat there quietly by myself. Although I learned from Lao Li's mouth that even in the peak season, there are very few tourists who come to live here, but since I took over this hotel, I still have some confidence to run it well.
Coupled with the addition of the blind man, my confidence has also increased a lot, because with him joining, I believe that he will not do a loss-making business, and let this hotel let me mess around.
Although it is the off-season for tourism, the weather is not too cold now, and there are quite a few tourists coming to Moon Bay and Sapa Bay, so the situation is not too bad.
Next, I have to think about the way this hotel is run, I think if it goes on in such obscurity, no one will find this small hotel called Moon Half Bay, and there are so many hotels here, if I don't want to come up with some superhuman ideas, I won't be able to solve any problems at all, and I will continue to lose money as before.
Since the atmosphere was so quiet, before I knew it, I was asleep on the couch in the hall. In the dream, the small hotel welcomed several groups of tourists who wanted to stay... Just as I was happy to collect the money, a basin of cold water suddenly poured over me.........
I opened my eyes, and it turned out that the wind outside was blowing in and waking me up. I looked outside, and the sky was getting darker. I sat up from the couch, took a sip of water, and then looked at the front desk, where the girl was dozing off.
I walked over and patted her: "Xiaoting, Xiaoting." ”
Zhang Xiaoting squinted her eyes and said to me apologetically, "I'm sorry boss." It's so boring here, so, I fell asleep too. ”
I looked at my watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, I leaned over and said to Zhang Xiaoting, "It's okay, there is still no guest today?"
Zhang Xiaoting sighed and said, "Yes, I haven't seen a single traveler for many days." ”
"You go home and have dinner first, and then get a good night's sleep. I'll be on the night shift tonight, and you'll come back tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, thank you boss. ”
............
After Zhang Xiaoting left, I also felt a little hungry, so after ordering a takeout, I fell into infinite contemplation.
"Because I don't know if I will be able to meet you in the next life, so I will work so hard in this life......" I subconsciously woke up, and it turned out that my mobile phone was ringing.
I looked at the phone screen and it was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hey, whoever. ”
"Guess who I am. A girl's voice came from across the phone.
"How do I know who you are, don't say I'm hanging anymore. As he spoke, he was about to hang up the phone.
"It's me, Suyi. When did you become so impatient. The voice on the other end of the phone finally became normal, and it turned out that the voice just now was pretended by Su Yi.
"Yo, Sister Su, you miss me like this after only half a day?" I said to Su Yi in a mocking tone.
"I miss you big-headed ghost, what are you doing now, accompany me to go shopping there yesterday. ”
"There are more people looking for you to visit the beach, why are you looking for me? What's more, I'm still at work now, how can I have time to wander around with you, you can find someone else!"
"Then where are you now, I'll go look for you. ”
"Okay, I'm .......," I told Su Yi the address in detail.
After a while, my takeaway arrived, and after dinner, my trance was almost restored. Then I'm going to take a picture of the guest rooms on my phone, fix them with beautiful pictures, and put them on the Internet, so that I can attract some tourists and at least let everyone know that there is a hotel here.
Then I ran upstairs and downstairs a few times, and it took me more than an hour to finally photograph the rooms on each floor, and then I applied for a store account on a website.
The next thing I did was to photograph the photos I had just taken and post them online. While I was busy, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and Su Yi walked in and said to me scoldingly.
"What kind of place are you here, and the car can't drive in, so I have been looking for a long time. ”
I walked out, pulled the angry Su Yi in, and hurriedly pulled a chair for her to sit down: "She looks so good, why is her temper so stinky?"
Su Yi didn't pay attention to what I said, but looked around the hotel, and then leaned on the table at the front desk with his hands and said to me, "You Zhai Xiuwen are all mixed up like this now?
"What a front desk attendant, I am now the owner of this hotel, a veritable owner, and you are a level of character. I looked at Su Yi with a sigh of relief, and shook the phone in my hand again.
Su Yi sat up, snorted at me, and then looked around the hotel. Seeing her walking around, I didn't bother to pay attention to her, and continued to photoshop the photo I had just taken.
"How much does a studio room cost for a night with you?"
“150RMB。 ”
"That's not very expensive. ”
"Isn't this nonsense? The sea view rooms outside, the accommodation conditions are worse than my here, and the lowest price, I only have 150 here. ”
"But do you have a guest here?" Su Yi walked over and stood face to face with me.
"No, I've been here all day, and I haven't seen a fly except you. ”
"Your place is too remote, it's strange for someone to come and live here. ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense, can I afford to rent a place that is not in the middle of nowhere? My financial ability can only allow me to be aggrieved in this kind of place. "I didn't raise my head to talk to Su Yi, and kept photophotographing the photos I took.
"What are you doing?" Su Yi leaned closer to my phone to look, and at this time her hair had already touched my forehead, and a faint scent of shampoo came from the tip of my nose.
"I'm going to apply for a store account on a website, and then take a picture of the room in the guest room, PS it, and put it online. So that everyone can see my little hotel, maybe someone will come and book a room later?"
"This is okay, you can also post it to the circle of friends, so that your friends can travel to Moon Bay, and maybe they can help you improve your living standards. ”
"Okay, that's all. ”
"Xiuwen, you asked me to help you with Meitu, the technology is definitely better than yours. Saying that, Su Yi was about to reach over and grab my phone.
"If you don't give it, I'll just come by myself. And can you fix your multi-handed problem? ”
"Uh-huh~, just let me try, okay?" Su Yi said to me with a coquettish emphasis: "Xiao Wenwen, give it to me." ”
I really couldn't stand a woman coquettish on me, and just when I raised my head and was about to give my phone to Su Yi, I saw a blind man standing at the door, with his mouth wide open, looking at us in surprise.
I hurriedly handed the phone to Su Yi, and then said to the blind man at the door, "Oh, you're here." I feigned coughing twice.
Only then did the blind man come back to his senses, and Su Yi also turned his head and looked at the blind man expressionlessly.
After the blind man swallowed his saliva, he walked straight to me, looked at me with strange eyes, and looked at Su Yi with some apologies: "Did I disturb you?" ”
"What are you talking about, Su Yi has just arrived, by the way, aren't you busy over there, what are you doing here?"
"I'm not afraid that you won't have dinner, bring you some food, and drive your car over to you. With that, the blind man handed me the lunch box and car keys.
"Dude, you're so sweet now. However......" I was just halfway through my sentence when Su Yi suddenly interjected.
"What? It's past nine o'clock, and you haven't eaten dinner yet. Su Yi looked at me with some angry eyes.
I looked at the two men apologetically, smiled at them again, and said, "I've already ordered takeout, and I've already eaten it." ”
Su Yi finally put back his angry eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Just eat it." ”
At this time, the blind man looked at Su Yi in shock, and when I saw him absent-minded, I patted his head: "Hey, what are you doing?"
The blind man who came back to his senses showed a strange look and smiled at me and said, "Well, you talk first, I have something to do and leave first, and you can use this meal as a supper." ”
I was just about to stop him, but the blind man had hurried outside.
I glanced at Su Yi with disdain: "Look how annoying you are, the blind man didn't even look at you, and left in a panic!!"
Su Yi ignored my ridicule, still holding my phone there, and then handed me the phone to see: "You see if my P-map technology is much better than yours." ”
I looked at it, P is indeed much better than me, after all, women are much more clever than men in photos, and this word is not bragging.
"It looks really good. ”
Su Yi immediately gave me a smug look. When I uploaded all the photos, I realized that Su Yi had already picked up the dinner brought to me by the blind man, sat on the sofa and ate it slowly.
I picked up a bottle of water and handed it to Su Yi, who took it and asked me, "Would you like to eat some?" ”
I shook my head at her.
"Is it true that you don't have anyone here to stay here today?" asked Su Yi as she looked at me while eating.
I lit a cigarette and said to her, "There is not even a ghost except you." ”
"That's pretty bad, how about I be your first tenant tonight. ”
"Don't be kidding, don't live in that big villa with sea view, come and live in my broken house here, you can be idle. I looked at her without a single expression and took another puff of smoke at her.
"I'm not kidding you, it's almost ten o'clock now, and I'm a little sleepy. Don't bother to go back, just stay with you for one night. Su Yi put down her chopsticks, stretched her waist, sat on the sofa and said to me seriously.
"Really?" Although I didn't know why Su Yi was staying with me, I did see a hint of exhaustion in her eyes.
"But I'm going to trouble you to go to my car and bring my bag, ID card inside. No, car keys. He tossed her car keys to me.
After opening her room, I took her to a single room with my room key. By the time I tidied up her room, she was already asleep in her chair.
I woke her up and told her to take a shower and go to sleep, and she looked at me with a tired look on her face. Then she bit her lip and nodded to me, and then pulled out 150 yuan in cash from her bag and handed it to me, I took the money, and when I was about to leave, I turned back to her and said to her.
"If you're not used to living or have any questions, just let me know. ”
"Everyone else can live, why can't I. ”
"Alright then, good night, remember to call me about something. ”
"Well, good night. ”
Walking out the door, I couldn't help but smile bitterly to myself, the first business was still made in this way. It's not a joy for me, and I'm sure I'd be especially happy if it was a stranger who came in.
At least it gives me hope for the future of this hotel. After walking to the hall, looking at Su Yi's leftover meal, I took the chopsticks and ate slowly.
After I put away the dishes and chopsticks, I felt a sense of lost loneliness in my heart.
Looking at my watch, it's already past twelve o'clock in the morning, and I don't think anyone will be here tonight. After closing the door, I also fell asleep on the couch in the hall.
