CHAPTER 131: FRANK ACTUALLY GAVE HER THE WORST HOTEL

Yvonne nodded, "So I’m going to start with a branch or some small position."

Frank shook his head, "If you just go in as an intern, then you will learn little about management. How about working as a general manager of Violet Hotel? It’s a five-star hotel belonging to our group and their original general manager had just left."

"What?"

Yvonne’s mouth opened wide in shock all of a sudden.

The core industry of the Taylor Family was tourism, including many scenic spots, many high-end hotels, and travel agencies, etc..

Although a five-star hotel was a low-rank possession of the Taylor Family, directly made her the general manager...

"Dad... General Manager... Would it be too much?"

"Don’t be afraid, I will tell the clerks to take care of you and make Henry Louis teach you to handle everything personally."

Mr. Louis, he was the professional genius who followed Frank loyally and ended his own life by taking a leap from a high building after Frank’s death.

With Henry Louis around, Yvonne was comfortable.

But Yesmina frowned.

"Are you sure that it was Violet Hotel that Yvonne will work for?"

"Yvonne is still a student now and not clear on hotels, just heard that this hotel was quite luxurious, people could find delicious food or have fun in there, a lot of rich held their birthday party as well.

Yesmina, however, was a strong woman in the business, immediately understood what was wrong with this hotel.

"Violet Hotel has been losing money for three years in a row, profits are dropping every month, the company’s staff is undisciplined, and a bunch of people had been even thinking of ways to prepare to leave after the general manager left last month.

"It’s a hot potato of you the Taylor Family, are you sure you’ll let Yvonne start by such a challenge?

"In case she doesn’t handle it well, how will the Taylor Group, the Leinster Group, and those public opinions scold her in the future?"

Yesmina was a little angry.

She loved her daughter the most, hoping that Yvonne would learn whatever she wanted know in an easy way and let go of such a troublesome hotel project.

It would probably hurt her confidence.

Hearing her mother’s words, Yvonne realized that business in this Violet Hotel was very tricky.

"Dad..."

"Yvonne, will you be afraid of difficulties?"

Yvonne shook her head firmly, "Of course not!"

"That’s good."

Frank laughed, "So, let’s start with Violet Hotel the troublemaker-place.

"I hope you can break the Violet Hotel’s record of three consecutive years of losing money in one month after you take the office!

"You should make it a turnaround!"

Yesmina was shocked, "In a month?

"Frank, your daughter is a human being but the great God, do you want money that much?"

Frank immediately interrupted her, ’’I believe in my daughter!

"Yvonne, do you believe in yourself?"

Yvonne bit her lip.

To be honest, she didn’t really trust that she could do it well.

She had never run a hotel, much less had she been a general manager.

What had she done when she worked for Zachary?

The man who handled financial statements, secretaries, writing planners... This time she was asked to be the leader, she couldn’t believe herself totally.

But, Dad showed her strong eyes of trusting her.

She couldn’t help but be reminded of the time when the Academic Competition was held years ago.

At that point, everyone didn’t believe she could take first place.

Only did her father hold her hand and say he believed in her, and at that time, Frank had that same look in his eyes.

She was not afraid about anything for her father’s look as such now. In the heat of the moment, all she could think of at the time was that she could never let her father down!

"I do!"

For her father’s strong look, Yvonne said these three words like the last time again,

subconsciously.

...

At the Violet Hotel.

After Frank’s mission was given, Yvonne came to the Violet Hotel purposefully the next day.

The Violet Hotel was located next to Times Square. It had been the most prestigious Five-star hotel in Hiltonan.

But in recent years, the country had developed rapidly and Hiltonan had grown rapidly as well, then there were a bunch of foreign-owned Five-star hotels that are both new and upscale were builded.

Violet Hotel only had outdated decoration and old hardware, but it still charged high bills.

People could charge the same amount of money for living in better hotels, so more and more visitors didn’t go there anymore. Now, the rich old person who couldn’t reserve rooms online were the only guests of it.

Today, in front of this hotel, a white Stretch Lincoln Limousine parked.

Yvonne wore a high-class white suit today, neat and fashionable.

When the car stopped ahead of the revolving doors, those doormen who had been dozing off were instantly awake as soon as they seen such a nice car.

"No way, what a nice car!

"How long has it been since we saw this kind of car last time?"

"No rich man would come this hotel for its everything. Except some guys who was rich and silly enough."

Before Yvonne even got off the car, she heard these two doormen discussing over here. She was instantly furious.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, the two doormen were shocked for her appearance.

The look as if to say, "Why dose such a rich, young, stylish lady come to our hotel?" "Miss, Fairmont Hotel is 330 feet ahead, here is the Violet Hotel." These two just thought she found a wrong place then.

They even enthusiastically told her that the Fairmont Hotel which was really popular was just nearby.

Yvonne was even more angry.

"Could somebody kick these two who made their guests turn around and go out of there!?" she thought.

Just then, a tubby man in a managerial-looking suit ran out towards her.

He was the lobby manager, Sun manager, Mr. Spenser. In this hotel, all the manager-level had known that the big boss’s daughter would come here as an new general manager, so he recognized this young lady at the first glance.

"Good morning, Miss Taylor! Welcome to the Violet Hotel!"

"Miss Taylor"?

The two doormen were dumbfounded at this.

Was she the hotel’s big boss’s daughter?

Didn’t they just bad-mouthed their hotel in front of the boss?

"It’s okay to greet guests. However, as Concierge staff, they didn’t open the car door for me and welcome me since my car was there, but they was dozing off!

"Mr. Spenser, is this how you usually manage the staff of your Concierge department?"

Mr. Spenser did not expect that this little girl began as the general manager before she came in the hotel, so he immediately showed a big smile to her for easing her.

"Yes, yes, it’s my mistake. You two, no salary for today, and you should write a two thousand words review!"

"It’s not necessary."

However, Yvonne said coldly, "A hotel’s Concierge department is the symbol of service attitude, if its staff showed a bad attitude since guests just came in, the work that other part of the hotel had down will be nonsense, do you understand?

"I will fire this two."

"But..." Mr. Spenser was hesitated, "But he was the son of Mr. Watkins, and the other is..."

"Do I have to say it twice?"

Yvonne’s eyes were extremely sharp.

She was wearing as-red-as-it-can-be lipstick today, it made her so strong. For this, Mr. Spenser shut down immediately.

"No, I had heard it..."

"Mark my words."

Yvonne straightened her spine, took her handbag, and told him coldly, "Since I, Yvonne, had been here, there is only one general manager that you should listen to. It’s me, Miss Taylor.

"As for the rest, I don’t care if it’s a relationship or a veteran employee who talks nonsense depending on their age, in the Violet Hotel, if you do a good job, you’ll get money, if you muddle through, you’ll leave, no exceptions, all are treated equally!"

...

The news that Yvonne had begun by putting the fear of God to them was spread all over departments of the whole hotel.

It was said that she just got off the car and fired the two of them without even entering the hotel.

At the morning meeting, people from all departments gathered and scold when they heard about Yvonne’s style.

"This girl, she’s just an 18 years old girl, why isn’t she staying at home and spending her parents’ money?

"Troublesome."

"Does she really think that firing two doormen will bring this hotel back from the dead, doesn’t she?

"In my opinion, in less than two years, the Violet will go out of business."

"Wow..."

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open.

Their voices were cut off.

Outside the door, the girl had long hair like ink, with black sunglasses, a white suit, white wide-legged trousers, red-bottom black heels. Putting them together, she looked capable and noble.

But it was with such a regal attire that she was standing dangling, even fanning herself with a folder.

She smiled.

"Go on guys, didn’t you say my hotel was closing down in two years?

"In such a poor hotel, why you still care about whether its owner is happy or not?"

"This is..."

There was no one expected that Yvonne would come to their morning meeting directly. They thought that she should clean up her office, check financial statements to analyse the situation of each season and find out those departments she would take charge of before she came anyway.

However, Yvonne just came here with the statements. With high heels sounded, she sat on the president’s seat.

She crossed her legs and took off her glasses at a leisurely pace.

"Do you know why I fired those two as soon as I got off my car?

"Because I hate people who talk badly about my father’s company behind my back.

"Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for receiving money from the company while doing things that slandered its reputation and damaged its interests?"

"You!"

The one who just said that the Violet Hotel was going to close down in two years was the manager of the Housekeeping Department. He could clearly understand Yvonne’s meaning.

Angrily, he stood straight up.

Yvonne put her sunglasses on the table as if nothing had happened.

"What’s wrong?

"I’m talking to you, Mr. Miller."

It was only last night that Yvonne learned that the Housekeeping department manager of the Violet Hotel was actually the father of Ashley Miller, who had once bullied her.

This Mr. Miller usually did dirty things, like sold the shampoos, shower-gels and sheets to each room of the hotel on the Internet, and or so.

It’s true that "Like father, like son", although Ashley Miller was a girl, she was like her disgusting father.

"Mr. Miller, this is your eBay shop, right?

"It was liked that you’d better like the work as a tout rather than as a manager of the five-star hotel. Your really have a great dream about your job."

Mr. Miller was shocked.

How did Yvonne know about his stealing and selling business?

There should have be no one else to know this except he himself. Even another managers was stunned, but Yvonne just got everything before she stayed here for ten minutes.

Yvonne crossed her legs, "Well, here are your transaction records for the past six months, I really did not expect that you can make such an amount of money by selling hotel shampoos and sheets, why don’t you just go to open a shampoo company?

"But if those buyers of yours knew that the sheets you sell are stolen from hotel and they are all second-hand, would your e-commerce business still be viable?

"Pool you."

"Yvonne, don’t talk nonsense!"
