49: Chapter 49: My Hotel is Impregnable!!!
"Um, yeah, it's like this... I want to warn you..." He organized his thoughts.
"It's, um, it's just that, today at 11:57 AM, there might be a fire hazard in your hotel's kitchen."
"That's very dangerous, please!"
"Thank you for the reminder!" The receptionist interrupted impatiently, clearly not the first time receiving this prank call.
"Our hotel is five-star, with strict fire safety systems and security management, please rest assured."
"If there is nothing else..."
"I'm not talking nonsense, listen to me." Lu Renjia panicked and quickly sped up his speaking pace.
"It was predicted by an internet streamer, Xiaoyu's brother, who has 600,000 to 700,000 followers and over a million concurrent viewers."
"And Xiaoyu's brother is very strong, watched by many university professors."
"It shows he is capable, at the very least you should go check the kitchen..."
"Beep~~ Beep~~" Before he could finish, the phone was hung up.
"What the hell." Lu Renjia was amused by his own actions.
"Crazy!" The Jingxuange International Hotel receptionist cursed.
Then, the duty lobby manager noticed, asked about it, found it a bit novel, but didn't take it seriously.
"Hello, Xiaoyu's brother predicted your hotel..."
"Hello, there is a safety hazard in the kitchen~~"
"..." Afterward, dozens of calls came in.
The receptionist was exhausted, slumped on the table, and cursed: "A bunch of lunatics!!!"
This scene made the lobby manager numb, and he had to pay attention to whether it was true or false! So he recorded this in the shift handover log.
Two-thirty in the morning. The log was sent to the hotel general manager, Zhao Kuangyi's office.
Zhao Kuangyi, forty-one years old, in his prime; an ambitious age. He was preparing to propose hotel expansion opportunities at the board meeting.
When he finished reading the log summary report sent by the secretary from the lobby manager... especially the prophecy remarks and the sharp decline in hotel bookings over the past month. His face turned livid.
"Presumptuous, simply lawless!" He slammed the table.
"Some internet streamer, Xiaoyu's brother, who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and is even doing some kind of secret filming livestream."
"Truly a clown, cursing us to catch fire?"
"Do you know how much reputation loss and damage you have caused us?"
In a fit of rage, he was truly enraged for a moment. Then, in order to collect evidence of Jiang Zhe's slander. And at the same time to shut the mouths of those competitors on the board of directors.
Zhao Kuangyi decided to lead a safety inspection himself! He wanted to prove that the hotel was impregnable and could not be broken by anyone!
He, along with the head of the security department and the head of engineering maintenance. More than a dozen people arrived aggressively at the hotel kitchen.
"Check, check hard, turn everything upside down!"
"Electrical lines, hidden lines, exhaust pipes..." Zhao Kuangyi stood at the door giving orders.
The maintenance supervisor used professional equipment to check them one by one. The security department supervisor led people to check fire exits and fire hazards...
"Brother Zhao, the gas valve is fine, no leaks."
"All circuit switches and loads have no aging or overload."
"The fire hydrant is not broken, water pressure is normal, fire extinguisher dry powder, water... everything is there, full."
"The exhaust system, um, has some grime, but it hasn't reached the combustion point at all; the apprentice will clean it up later when he comes to work, never mind, I'll clean it myself."
As the inspection results were reported one by one, all showed that everything was correct and normal! Zhao Kuangyi's expression finally improved, and he felt more confident!
"Sure enough, just playing to the gallery, a clown streamer!"
"Good work, brothers!"
Suddenly! Just as Zhao Kuangyi was about to leave the kitchen. Because he was walking too fast, the heel of his leather shoe kicked a plastic cable clip used to secure the power cord of a large floor-standing freezer.
"Snap~" A faint, slight sound. The somewhat aged cable clip fell to the ground.
The engineering supervisor glanced at it, "Manager Zhao, it's nothing, just a cable clip, I'll have the electrician replace it with a new one later."
Zhao Kuangyi nodded gently, bent down to pick it up, and then turned and left the kitchen.
He returned to his office. He immediately called a lawyer friend who studied law in college.
"Old Zhang, help me sue an internet streamer."
"The specific information has already been sent to you."
"I want to sue those siblings until they are bankrupt, and they must compensate for all of our hotel's losses."
"At least three million!"
"I want to see who else dares to mess with our Jingxuange International Hotel in the future!"
In a while, Lawyer Zhang's confident voice came from the other end of the phone. "No problem, with conclusive evidence, he will definitely pay, you will definitely win."
General Manager Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We will return all the money from the gentry, and split the money from the common people fifty-fifty."
"Good brother, for life!" x2
... After the surprise safety inspection ended... the hotel's night shift kitchen staff were rushing to make breakfast!
Since it is a five-star hotel, to satisfy customers, everything is done in-house, and no outsourcing is used. Inside the kitchen, it was bustling with activity, and the air temperature soared!
... As the sky turned a pale fish-belly white. More and more fans who came for his reputation, or even those who had money without working, rushed to the Jingxuange International Hotel. Nothing else, just to watch aggressively!!!
... The atmosphere inside the hotel was oppressive. Outside the hotel, it was strangely peaceful. Time passed, it was only past nine o'clock, and there were several times more people here than usual.
Some people were holding mobile phones to record the whole process, some were happy to see the excitement. There were also nearby residents, as well as many self-media and tabloid reporters who came for his reputation.
"This is the hotel, Xiaoyu's brother said in the live broadcast yesterday that something big will happen at noon."
"Oh my god, so many people that you can't even move, will the prophecy really come true?"
"I see the police have arrived, what is the police's take on this?"
"This is obviously hype, look, hasn't the traffic been brought up?"
"Xiaoyu's brother can wait to pay money and go to jail!"
"I don't think so. Before, he talked about Ramanujan, Tesla, and even earlier, the revelation of the tui bei tu. When you think about it carefully, it's terrifying. Maybe it will really happen!"
"Hey, isn't that Parkour Xiao Liu? He's here too?"
The scene was crowded with people.
A man wearing a red sportswear, with a camera on his head, holding a stabilized SLR, was overlooking and filming from another building. He is the top streamer in the parkour section, "Parkour Xiao Liu".
Known for various high-difficulty terrains and extreme sports. Now, he was sitting on the edge of the building opposite, overlooking and filming.
"Brothers, do you see the building in front of me?"
"If it really explodes, I will climb down from this 28th floor with my bare hands, without any protective measures."
"Right here, we'll see in three hours!"
"I want to see if the live broadcast room of Xiaoyu's brother, which has recently become popular and has a trend of becoming a top streamer, is just playing tricks, or is carrying forward the art of traditional Chinese studies!"
In the live broadcast room. The barrage was scrolling fast. All were fans' mockery, speculation, and even anticipation.
