120: This is what a wealthy family looks like.
"What's going on?"
"Is a leader coming for an inspection?"
"What a grand display?!"
After finishing the banquet, the relatives came downstairs and were shocked by the scene in the hotel lobby.
A middle-aged man with a name tag that said "General Manager" was directing the hotel staff; the receptionists stood in two rows in a welcoming posture.
There was also a lot of activity at the hotel entrance.
Seeing this rare sight, everyone slowed their pace.
He Yongliang was also somewhat startled.
Grand Cloud Sky was no small hotel.
For the general manager to be so flustered and personally coordinating things, the person arriving must be someone significant.
At the entrance of the Grand Cloud Sky International Hotel.
Six security guards in suits stood tall and straight, staring forward without blinking.
The front office reception manager led two tall, attractive receptionists, waiting at the door.
"Secretary Xu, Xiao Li, pay attention and be sharp later. Step forward immediately!"
The front office manager whispered a reminder to the two receptionists beside him.
"Don't worry, Manager..."
Secretary Xu and Xiao Li replied, but they sounded a bit listless.
It was almost time for their shift change when they suddenly received news that a major shareholder of the Group was coming for an inspection... it gave them quite a scare.
The store's general manager quickly ordered everyone to be on full alert!
Although this was the first five-star hotel the Group had opened in Gannan, it wasn't particularly special in essence.
Aside from when the Group's senior management and shareholders appeared during the opening, there were usually only occasional inspectors who came to check things.
Why would this major shareholder of the Group come to their third-tier city out of the blue instead of going home for the New Year?
"Stop looking so resentful and perk up!"
Just then, a cold shout reached their ears, and the two women's bodies suddenly stiffened.
"General Manager Yu!"
Seeing the store's general manager walking over, they immediately nodded in greeting.
"General Manager Yu."
The front office manager also stepped forward to greet him.
Looking back, they saw that the rest of the hotel's receptionists and staff were now lined up neatly, in a full welcoming posture.
The two women were amazed.
They had worked at this hotel for over a year, but they had never seen such a display.
The front office manager also spoke hesitantly.
"General Manager Yu, isn't this display a bit too flashy?"
Yu Shen was a middle-aged man in his forties. He glanced at the front office manager and said calmly.
"This Mr. Chen is now the absolute controlling shareholder of the Group. Never mind you and me, even if it were the Group president, if he said he wanted a change, it would only take a few words."
"The fact that we received notice means Mr. Chen is coming in his official capacity as a major shareholder of the Group. Naturally, the more grand the reception, the better!"
After saying this, Yu Shen's eyes flickered slightly.
In fact, in the Group chat for store general managers, the Group's senior management had sent a photo of Mr. Chen for them to familiarize themselves with, to avoid any misidentification.
When he saw the photo, Yu Shen was incredibly shocked.
This Mr. Chen appeared to be a young man under thirty... he wondered which prominent family's young master he was?!
Since he was a young master, the display definitely had to be as grand as possible!
If it weren't for the time pressure, he would have loved to call in two rows of models to stand on either side and provide Mr. Chen with imperial-level welcoming service!
Hearing this, the two receptionists perked up their pretty faces on the surface, but they felt even less interested.
The absolute major shareholder of the Group must be some old man from somewhere.
Among all types of guests, the most difficult to deal with were the elderly.
Old-fashioned, stubborn, and they didn't listen to reason!
While everyone was waiting, the roar of an engine echoed in their ears, and a striking mercedes-benz AMG GT slowly pulled up to the hotel entrance.
While others were still admiring the elegant form of the two-door coupe, Yu Shen was the first to react.
He really is a young man, and he's even driving a 'thug in a suit' like the GT63!
It seemed his arrangement was a correct gamble!
"Mr. Chen has arrived. Go and receive him!"
The others were half a beat slower to react.
In their minds, shouldn't a major shareholder of the Group be sitting in the back of a Maybach or a Rolls-Royce?
Why was it a two-door coupe?
But they also quickly followed.
The driver's door of the AMG GT opened, and Yu Shen's eyes narrowed when he saw the face that was exactly the same as in the photo.
That's right, it was Mr. Chen!
He stepped forward quickly, shielding the car roof with his hand, and said swiftly and respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am the general manager of the Grand Cloud Sky Gannan Flagship Store. My name is Yu Shen."
Chen Qiu gave him a surprised look.
He didn't expect the hotel to move so fast and have the welcoming party ready already.
"Hello, General Manager Yu. I'm just here to have a casual look today."
As soon as Chen Qiu got out of the car, the front office manager stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Mr. Chen, let me help you park the car."
"Mhm."
Seeing that the two receptionists weren't moving, Yu Shen quickly gave a subtle wave.
The two women noticed Yu Shen's gesture and finally snapped out of it. Their shocked eyes, fixed on Chen Qiu, gradually began to shine with intense brilliance.
This absolute controlling shareholder of the Group was not the old man they had imagined, but a young man!
And a handsome one at that!
When they saw Chen Qiu's long legs step out of the coupe, Yu Shen bowing to welcome him, and Chen Qiu's figure standing tall, the two women felt an instant burst of hormones, their hearts racing wildly.
He was exactly the overbearing CEO of their fantasies!
The Group's CEO suddenly descending upon their store in a third-tier city was just like a plot from a short drama!
Even a menopausal cleaning lady could be noticed by a CEO; they were at least young beauties in the prime of their lives!
Could it be... that the female lead plot of their lives was about to begin?
At this moment, the last lingering bits of resentment over their delayed shift change vanished instantly.
Their lightly made-up faces blossomed with the most brilliant and radiant smiles of their lives.
They bowed slightly and gestured.
"Mr. Chen, this way please!"
At this time.
The Group of people standing at the hotel entrance were amazed when they saw the mercedes-benz coupe.
They all craned their necks, trying to get a clear look at the owner's face.
But they were blocked by Yu Shen and the others, so they couldn't see clearly for the moment.
However.
Seeing the general manager of such a large hotel as Grand Cloud Sky, along with a large Group of employees, welcoming one person like this left them in awe.
Lin Shanshan, who had previously felt that He Ting had the aura of a Baimi, now felt that He Yongliang's family was nothing special after seeing this.
Looking at that domineering two-door coupe, Lin Shanshan knew it was a car worth two or three million!
She couldn't even imagine how wonderful it would feel if she were the one stepping out of the passenger seat!
"This is what a truly rich person looks like!"
Hearing her envious exclamation, the dejected Huang Hui seemed to wake up from a dream.
Huang Hui glanced at He Yongliang and Chen Zhide and said sarcastically.
"Yes, this is what you call a truly wealthy family!"
"Being coddled wherever they go. Without even looking, you know it must be an elegant and noble young master, unlike some parvenus..."
Her words were pointed.
Whether it was Chen Zhide, who had just become rich because of his son, or He Yongliang, who had only been wealthy for a few years, weren't they both parvenus in her mind?
He Yongliang heard Huang Hui's words, and his brow furrowed in displeasure.
He was about to scold Huang Hui when he suddenly heard a soft exclamation from Luo Jinglan beside him.
"Eh?"
"Chen Zhide, look, isn't that our son?"
Chen Zhide squinted and looked over. Peering through the two receptionists, he found it really was Chen Qiu.
"It really is!"
As the couple's words fell, the surrounding people were instantly stunned.
The one driving a two or three million dollar sports car and having such a grand display at a five-star hotel was Chen Qiu?
As Luo Jinglan waved and called out, Chen Qiu, not far away, turned his head in surprise.
Seeing Chen Qiu's familiar face, the relatives immediately broke into an uproar.
It really was Chen Qiu!
Huang Hui, who had just been speaking sarcastically, felt her cheeks burning.
It turned out that after all her flattering remarks, she was actually praising Luo Jinglan's son?!
At this moment, she felt as if her throat were being squeezed by an invisible hand, making it impossible to breathe.
