Chapter 344: If you make a suggestion and I accept it, I lose
Mr. Dong's call did not go smoothly.
Maybe because he was just a successor and not the boss after all, the person on the other end of the phone didn't take it too seriously.
He just said that he was waiting for Chen Yan and others in the office.
After hanging up the phone, Young Master Dong looked embarrassed, but he still tried his best to smooth things over. "My uncles and aunts are the senior members who helped my father to found the company. They have bad tempers and don't know how to deal with people. Sister Xue, Mr. Chen, please don't mind."
Chen Yan nodded and said, "It's okay. It's normal for capable people to have a bad temper. As long as you are capable and can do your work with peace of mind, then it's okay..."
He Mengxue curled her lips aside.
The administrative offices of high-end hotels are usually located within the hotel area, which makes it convenient for hotel management, internal affairs regulation and emergency handling.
So, they got on the elevator and went to the administrative area on the third floor. After a few steps, the three of them arrived at the hotel general manager's office.
Young Master Dong knocked on the door, and a strong male voice came from inside the door, "Come in."
Young Master Dong opened the door and said with a grin, "Uncle Wang, I brought Mr. Chen and the others here."
The door opened, and sitting on the boss chair was a thin man with a hooked nose, who indeed looked like he had a bad temper.
Hearing what Master Dong said, he just looked up at Chen Yan, then said "hmm", reluctantly, "Come in then."
Looking at his arrogant look, if you didn’t know, you would think he was the boss of the company, and Chen Yan and He Mengxue were just new applicants.
Obviously, it was just a show of force.
He Mengxue had never been treated like this since she was a child. She looked at him intently and wanted to retort to him, but Chen Yan just touched her hand gently, then shook his head, signaling her to be patient.
After entering the office, without waiting for Uncle Wang to speak, Chen Yan took He Mengxue to sit on the sofa, leaving Young Master Dong alone to introduce the three people to each other.
After introducing himself, Chen Yan said directly, "Mr. Wang, right?"
"I'm here today to take over the management, so I want to meet the hotel's middle and senior management and visit the hotel's internal facilities."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Mr. Wang squinted his eyes, lit a cigarette, and said slowly, "Mr. Chen, you came here a little suddenly. We were not prepared in advance, and now we have a lot of guests to entertain, so it is not convenient for you to visit and meet our staff ."
Hearing what Mr. Wang said, Chen Yan looked him straight in the eye and said bluntly, "Didn't you prepare in advance?"
"I informed you at least three days in advance that I was going to take over the work. Is this how efficient you are?"
"Then why should I trust you to manage the hotel well!"
"As for the many guests that need to be entertained?"
"I wasn't meeting an ordinary employee! Don't tell me that the department manager and director were all away entertaining guests! Is your hotel really just a hotel?!"
Mr. Wang obviously didn't expect Chen Yan to not give him any face and directly criticized him harshly. His face turned red and white, and his hand holding the cigarette began to tremble with anger. Obviously, he had been in the hotel for so many years and had managed and expanded the hotel. The entire hotel depended on him to run, so no one had ever spoken to him like this before.
Seeing that the two men had just gotten up, Young Master Dong hurriedly tried to mediate, trying to persuade Mr. Wang and Chen Yan at the same time.
Chen Yan was just taking advantage of the situation and didn't want to make a big fuss, so he gave him face and said in a slightly slower tone, "Okay. Since Mr. Wang hasn't made any preparations, I won't say much."
"I'll give you one hour to call the middle and senior managers to hold a meeting together."
"You only have one hour, and no one will be allowed after that time."
After saying that, Chen Yan stood up without any hesitation and walked out of the office. He Mengxue followed him with a smile in her eyes.
After Chen Yan left, the skinny Mr. Wang slammed the table in anger, stared at the door, and gritted his teeth.
Young Master Dong obviously had a very good relationship with Mr. Wang. He hurried over, calmed Mr. Wang down, and then advised, "Uncle Wang, don't get angry. Look at you, what are you doing? We were just chatting peacefully before. Why are you doing this again?"
President Wang said angrily, "Dong kid, I didn't mean to get angry, but what you did was not fair!"
"I have worked hard for your family for so many years. The turnover of this hotel has grown from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions."
"In the end, you just sold it. Did you ask for my opinion?"
"And the new boss, he's a game developer, will he be able to run a hotel if he buys it?"
"If he gives blind orders, all my hard work over the years will be wasted!"
"So, I must give him a warning and let him know that not everyone can manage this hotel!"
"It would be better for him to just be a big boss, and we just pay him money every year!"
Hearing what Mr. Wang said, Young Master Dong's eyes flickered, and he asked in a panic, "You, what are you going to do?"
Mr. Wang's eyes flickered. "Don't worry about the details. He's not the boss, I don't need to give him any face. Let's just talk about the facts and lay them out!"
After saying that, Mr. Wang picked up the phone on the table and started making a call.
Seeing Mr. Wang like this, Mr. Dong panicked. He gritted his teeth, left the office, took out his cell phone and called his father.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
The call was connected. Young Master Dong quickly told Dong Hongtu the whole story.
Originally, he was thinking of asking Dong Hongtu to come here quickly to deal with it.
But after listening to this, Dong Hongtu just said lightly, "Okay, I got it," and hung up the phone.
Young Master Dong was holding his phone in confusion, not knowing what to do...
…
At this time, in the western restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Gemini Hotel, Chen Yan and He Mengxue sat opposite each other, drinking coffee.
He Mengxue's eyes curved and she smiled and said, "Did you figure it out?"
Chen Yan stirred the coffee cup with the spoon and was too lazy to talk.
Only a fool wouldn't be able to see that.
This is obviously not a simple conflict, but a situation.
Inside the game are Young Master Dong, Mr. Wang and Chen Yan, and outside the game is Dong Hongtu.
Dong Hongtu is so cunning, maybe he doesn't know about this conflict?
Mr. Wang has such a good relationship with Dong Hongtu. If he simply wanted to cause trouble, why didn't he find Dong Hongtu in advance?
Obviously, Dong Hongtu already knew all this, so he deliberately didn't come today.
Chen Yan didn't know his specific purpose, but it was nothing more than these: to train Young Master Dong, to see what Chen Yan was capable of, or... when things got out of hand, he would come out to turn the tide and gain Chen Yan's favor...
However, Chen Yan himself has certain abilities, plus he has the [Inner Earphones], so after a comprehensive understanding, he was able to roughly deduce the whole story.
Dong Hongtu wanted to do a favor, but Chen Yan didn't want that. He wanted to solve the problem in his own way...
An hour passed in a flash.
When Chen Yan came to the general manager's office again, there were seven or eight more people in the office.
President Wang introduced with a gloomy expression, "These are the vice presidents and directors of the hotel. There are too many middle-level managers, so I asked them to gather in the conference room."
Chen Yan nodded and said expressionlessly, "Then lead the way."
The directors did not find the confrontation between Chen Yan and President Wang unusual at all; it was obvious that they had been mentally prepared for it.
When they arrived at the conference room, there were about 40 to 50 people in it. Together with the people around Chen Yan, these people were the middle and senior management of the hotel.
Chen Yan walked to the main seat without any courtesy and sat down. He Mengxue followed him and sat next to him. Mr. Wang's forehead was bulging with veins when he saw this, but he still sat down next to him.
After these executives sat down, Chen Yan glanced at Mr. Dong in the first row, then said expressionlessly, "I am Chen Yan, your future boss. I called you all here today because I want to get to know each other and understand your needs and expectations for the future of the hotel."
"If you have anything to say, you can say it."
Seeing Chen Yan being so direct, the people below looked at each other for a few seconds, and then no one dared to speak.
At this time, Mr. Wang, who was sitting next to Chen Yan, coughed twice and said, "Mr. Chen, do you want to know our needs? Can I say a few words?"
Chen Yan said nonchalantly, "Okay."
Mr. Wang said, "That's what I think. Our hotel has been operating for so many years, and all the mechanisms are very mature."
"Mr. Chen, you have a lot of things to do every day, and you have a lot of work to do."
"Or, you can give us the power to handle the hotel affairs on our own, and at the end of the year, we will report the bills and profits to you. What do you think?"
This was the first time Mr. Wang used a respectful title after meeting Chen Yan, but it sounded extremely harsh.
So Chen Yan just glanced at him and asked, "Well...are you done?"
Mr. Wang nodded, "That's all."
Chen Yan looked at the others, "Okay. Next one."
Mr. Wang: ???
He frowned and looked at Chen Yan, "Mr. Chen, I told you my needs, but you haven't agreed yet."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Agree? I didn't say that. If you tell me what you want, I will agree."
"I just let you talk and then I'll listen."
"No way? No way? You actually think that if you make a request , I will agree?"
