Yes, major headline: The leading giant in the domestic catering industry, Shengdu International Hotel, has closed for three days, canceling all reservations.
One might say it's just a closure for an ordinary hotel, but for a high-end, top-tier international hotel like Shengdu to close, isn't that a joke?
What about those customers who had booked much earlier? Moreover, these are not ordinary customers; they can't be offended easily, yet Shengdu just did it. The official reason given was simple: confidential activities, nothing can be divulged.
Only a few scattered individuals knew the situation inside, but the major media and the general public didn't know. The Shengdu International Hotel is a resounding brand in Kyoto, an iconic presence. How could it just close so suddenly? What's the inside story?
Journalists from major newspapers and radio stations began all-around reporting, digging up some previous anomalies.
