Chapter 157: Incognito Visit

The next day, Qi Sheng looked at his girlfriend who was still sleeping, smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

"Honey, are you leaving?"

Tan Huan rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in a daze.

"Well, you continue to sleep. I'll be back after I pick up the three little ones."

"Then you should drive carefully on the road and don't drive so fast."

Tan Huan also knew that Qi Sheng had planned a self-driving tour with the three kids, but she still gave them some worried instructions.

"Don't worry, don't you know your man's driving skills?"

"Hateful, so frivolous."

Tan Huan obviously had the wrong idea and her face turned red.

"Ahem, I suddenly feel like we don't need to leave so early."

Qi Sheng decisively got back into bed.

Holding my girlfriend's fragrant body in my arms, I started the most primitive activity.

It was an hour and a half later when I left the bed again.

Tan Huan fell into deep sleep and didn't even have the energy to say hello to Qi Sheng.

Not everyone has the same terrifying physique of 90 as Qi Sheng.

After finishing washing up, Qi Sheng came to the living room.

Han Yueying was watching TV and greeted him with a smile.

"Have breakfast before you go."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Qi Sheng felt inexplicably embarrassed.

It feels like I was caught bullying someone's daughter.

Han Yueying carefully prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Qi Sheng, her future son-in-law.

Of course the taste is not as good as that of the chef.

This thoughtfulness still made Qi Sheng feel warm.

After breakfast, Qi Sheng carried his small suitcase and said goodbye to Han Yueying.

"Auntie, I'll leave first. You can come in after Huanhuan wakes up."

Qi Sheng couldn't say it because the room was full of the mess he and Tan Huan had caused.

"Okay, drive slowly on the road."

Han Yueying also knew that young people were shy, so she nodded with a smile.

After Qi Sheng left, Han Yueying pushed open the door of the second bedroom and instantly smelled a familiar and pungent smell.

"That's crazy."

Han Yueying muttered something, but continued to clean up the mess.

As expected, the trash can was clean except for some waste paper.

"When Huanhuan wakes up, we must go and worship Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth."

Han Yueying looked at Tan Huan who was sleeping soundly, and her smile was extremely loving.

Her daughter and husband are everything to her.

My husband has a respectable job and my daughter is pretty and filial.

Now, she has found a good husband for her.

It can be said that all the goals she set at this age were easily achieved.

Tan Huan woke up slowly at almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

The warm afternoon sun caused the temperature in the bedroom to rise sharply.

Looking at the clean floor, Tan Huan was suddenly stunned and her face turned red in an instant.

“It’s over!”

Tan Huan quickly got out of bed, her white and tender little feet bare.

I saw my mother doing yoga on the yoga mat in the living room.

Although she is in her forties, her figure is maintained as if she is in her thirties.

"Mom, have you helped us clean up the room?"

Tan Huan scratched the sole of her shoe with her crystal clear toes and asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Needless to ask? Although you are young, you still need to exercise moderation. Don't be like your father..."

Han Yueying quickly stopped talking and changed the subject.

"You look so dirty. Go take a shower. You smell terrible."

As a woman, how could she not know?

What's going on with the smell on Tan Huan's body?

"Hehe, then I'll go take a shower first, and then we'll go shopping."

Tan Huan stuck out her tongue and went to take a bath obediently.

On the way to the bathroom, she did not forget to send a message to Qi Sheng.

After learning that Qi Sheng was almost at Du Xinxin's house, he went to take a shower with peace of mind.

"It's annoying to have so many strawberries every time."

Tan Huan looked at her fair and delicate body in the mirror, which had marks of varying depths. She muttered shyly and proudly.

For some unknown reason, Tan Huan took a selfie in front of the mirror.

After sending it to Qi Sheng, he withdrew it after a few seconds.

Qi Sheng: “???”

Tan Hua: “I sent it to the wrong person.”

Qi Sheng: "Okay, okay, let's play like this, right? (Picture x9)"

Tan Hua: "When did you take the photo???"

When Tan Huan saw the photos sent by Qi Sheng, she was stunned.

The explicitness of several of the photos made her feel embarrassed.

She couldn't believe that this was an expression she could make.

Qi Sheng: "Ahem, don't worry about it."

Do you really think the system's 360-degree shooting is a joke?

Normally I just admire it by myself, but now I finally have the chance to show it off.

Tan Hua: "I don't care, just delete it now. If someone sees it, I won't be able to see anyone in my life. (Angry)"

Although couples love to record short videos.

But it won't be clearer than movies made in the island countries.

Qi Sheng: "Don't worry, I'll delete it after I post it."

Tan Huan: "Hehe, it's better this way, otherwise don't blame us sisters for joining forces to fight the enemy!"

Qi Sheng: "That's great. When we come back, we can go to Singapore."

Tan Hua: "Okay, then I'll remind everyone in the group to get their visas."

Qi Sheng: "Just be responsible for notifying, I'll be there soon, let's not talk for now."

…

Ended the chat with Tan Huan.

Qi Sheng looked at the 'Xi'an Welcomes You' billboard.

I took a picture and sent it to Du Xinxin.

Du Xinxin: "Brother, are you really coming to Xi'an to see me?"

Du Xinxin: "Ahhh, I knew my brother liked me the most. Humph, I'm going to send this to Tao Siyao and make her mad!"

Du Xinxin: "Brother, do you want to come to my house? (Seduction)"

Qi Sheng found it funny, took a picture of the gift in the trunk and gave it to Du Xinxin.

Du Xinxin: "Oh, brother, are you serious? I haven't told my parents yet. Isn't it too sudden?"

Qi Sheng: "I don't care. Anyway, the gifts have been bought. You can do whatever you want."

Du Xinxin: "Brother, I'll risk it. If I don't reply to you in half an hour, remember to come and save me."

After entering the city, Qi Sheng looked around this ancient capital of Six Dynasties.

The towering ancient city walls bring a sense of historical weight that is very different from other metropolises.

It just so happens that Banyan Tree Group also has a presence in Xi’an.

Its Angsana Hotel is located in Lintong.

It is less than 5 minutes' drive from Huaqing Palace and is a hot spring resort hotel.

Qi Sheng asked Gu Feng to drive the car to the hotel.

Wang Huazhang, the hotel general manager, who was notified in advance, was waiting at the hotel entrance early.

Seeing the dazzling red Cullinan, he immediately hurried over.

"Mr. Qi, welcome to visit Angsana Xi'an Lintong. I am Wang Huazhang, the hotel's general manager. It is my honor to serve you."

"Hello."

Qi Sheng smiled faintly and was not surprised by Wang Huazhang's attentiveness.

"Mr. Qi, I have arranged a private bathhouse for you in advance, and the water in the bath has been changed. What do you think?"

Wang Huazhang is naturally aware of the changes in Banyan Tree Group.

Rumors about the new boss are also rife.

But he never expected it.

The new boss didn’t even go to the group’s headquarters in Singapore first.

I didn’t go to the Banyan Tree Hotel in Shanghai either.

Instead, we came to the mediocre Angsana Xi'an.

This made him excited, but also nervous.

The opportunity to rise to the top depends on whether he can seize it.

…

Angsana is positioned as a high-end five-star hotel, second only to Banyan Tree.

The price of a room ranges from six or seven hundred to four or five thousand per night.

When the big boss Qi Sheng checked in, Wang Huazhang arranged a private bathhouse for him.

This can be regarded as adapting to local customs and experiencing the hot spring culture of Xi'an.

The private bathhouses are all on the first floor, with a small courtyard that is very exquisitely designed.

The internal hot spring pool is more private and cleaner than the public one.

Qi Sheng nodded slightly and was quite satisfied with the environment of the guest room.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He also knew that Wang Huazhang must have sent people to clean the place carefully and repeatedly in advance.

This is how we have our current sanitary conditions.

See through but don’t speak out.

Five-star hotels are probably all at this level.

If you want to make money, you will inevitably neglect the service aspect.

The reviews about Yuesana on the Internet are mixed.

As a five-star hotel, Angsana's performance and reputation are still satisfactory.

"Mr. Qi, the restaurant in our hotel is average. How about I book a restaurant in the city?"

Wang Huazhang cautiously tested the big boss, fearing that he might violate his taboos.

"Sit down, no need to eat, I want to hear your thoughts on hotel management."

Qi Sheng waved his hand and handed Wang Huazhang a bottle of water.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi."

Wang Huazhang took the bottle of water flattered.

He began to talk incessantly about his understanding of the hotel management industry.

During this process, Qi Sheng scanned Wang Huazhang.

He is considered an elite talent with good management skills.

This was within his expectations.

Wang Huazhang talked for half an hour.

Seeing Qi Sheng saying nothing, he became cautious again.

"Mr. Qi...this is about what I know and understand about hotel management."

"Yes, the Angsana Hotel you manage has very impressive profits, which shows that you run the business very attentively."

Qi Sheng also spoke based on the facts and did not praise him just because of his enthusiastic attitude.

In a five-star hotel opened in Xi'an.

The brand influence of Angsana is not particularly strong.

But not only did we not lose money, we also achieved stable profits.

We have to praise Wang Huazhang for this.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi..."

Wang Huazhang was also overjoyed. He didn't expect to be praised by this big boss.

"Don't be too happy too soon. I'm still talking about the shortcomings."

Qi Sheng waved his hand and said with a half-smile: "Profit is important, but you should also know the impact of service on reputation."

"ha…"

Wang Huazhang scratched his head in embarrassment.

The cheerful expression disappeared completely.

As a professional with a background in hotel management, he also has rich management experience.

He knows too well the importance of service and reputation to hotel brands.

But many times, service and profit cannot be achieved at the same time.

As the hotel general manager, his KPI is profit.

In order to make a profit, he is willing to give up certain services.

“Now that I have taken over the Banyan Tree Group, the emphasis on service must be elevated to a level that is more important than profit.”

"The Angsana brand needs to carry the banner of the group's five-star hotels, and you general managers have a tough task ahead of you."

"I read the reviews online and they all complained about the poor taste of the hotel restaurant. Is that true?"

Qi Sheng did his homework on the way, so he was very targeted when he talked about these things.

"You also know that among our group's hotel brands, only Banyan Tree can attract high-quality restaurants to join."

"The influence of our Angsana brand is too weak. Not to mention Waldorf Astoria, it's even inferior to Hilton."

“The quality of restaurants willing to move in varies.”

Wang Huazhang is not talking nonsense.

He did send invitations to some famous restaurants, but they were all declined.

Similar to Xin Rong Ji, this kind of restaurant costs over 1,000 per person.

Even if I really want to open a branch in a hotel.

At least choose Waldorf Astoria and Banyan Tree, which are luxury hotel brands of this level.

The status of Angsana is equivalent to that of Lafite's sub-brand product.

It’s all thanks to the big brother Banyan Tree.

"There's no rush for this. The hotel now has a self-service hot pot restaurant?"

Qi Sheng saw the online reviews and found that the hotel’s own self-service hotpot restaurant had a good reputation, so he asked casually.

“I originally wanted to outsource the restaurant, but later I thought that the mismanagement of the buffet restaurant would easily affect the hotel’s reputation.”

"In the end, I gritted my teeth and decided to run the business myself. The self-service hotpot restaurant brought a lot of customers to the hotel."

When talking about this self-service hotpot restaurant, Wang Huazhang couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.

"Take me to see it."

Qi Sheng also got the inspiration when he came here.

There are many hotels like Angsana Lintong under the Banyan Tree Group.

As the owner of a hotel, Qi Sheng can fully combine his hotels and restaurants.

For example, Lawang will move into five-star hotels such as Yuechun.

Relying on the latter's reputation and customer flow, the room occupancy rate of Yuechun can also be stimulated.

The high-end Banyan Tree Hotel and restaurants like Zifei or Yutu with an average price of over 1,000 per person will move in.

It is totally worthy of Banyan Tree's ultra-luxury hotel positioning.

Even the high-net-worth customers brought in by the restaurant will drive up the hotel’s occupancy rate and brand influence.

Wang Huazhang led Qi Sheng to the hotel's own Yue Chun Garden buffet hotpot restaurant.

It's not time for lunch yet, but many employees have already started working.

Since it is a self-operated restaurant, the employees’ uniforms are also customized by the hotel.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

When people saw Wang Huazhang, they kept nodding and greeting him on the street.

To Qi Sheng who was surrounded by Wang Huazhang's attentiveness.

All the employees were very curious. Could he be a young man from some family?

"Mr. Qi, please tell me what needs to be improved in the restaurant so I can correct it as soon as possible."

Wang Huazhang took Qi Sheng around and asked the big boss for advice very humbly.

"Overall, they are doing very well. In the future, all Angsana hotels will have La Wang restaurants, which are not much different from your own hotpot restaurants."

"ah?"

Wang Huazhang was a little confused and stared at Qi Sheng blankly.

"Director Qi, what about these employees?"

"Their job content remains the same, only the color of their work uniforms and the company they work for have changed."

As the big boss, Qi Sheng’s words are naturally the imperial edict.

"Okay, then I will cooperate with the handover."

Wang Huazhang felt a little depressed and reluctant.

This Yue Chun Garden buffet hotpot restaurant is like a child he raised with his own hands.

But now Qi Sheng sent her to someone else to raise, and he couldn't refuse.

"Look how reluctant you are. Do you want to be the general manager of Banyan Tree Hotel?"

Qi Sheng patted Wang Huazhang's shoulder with amusement and gave him a candied date that was so sweet that it was sickening.

"Of course I do. I dream about it!"

Wang Huazhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, fearing that Qi Sheng would go back on his word.

That’s Banyan Tree, an ultra-luxury brand that’s on par with old-line hotels like the Waldorf Astoria.

Compared to Yuechun, its little brother with average fame.

Banyan Tree is a household name in the hotel industry.

Compared to the General Manager position at Banyan Tree Hotel.

A small self-service hot pot restaurant, what a shit! (End of this chapter)
