Chapter 771: Chapter 0772: Ideas [First Update]

Ye Qiu sat next to Xia Lan, with Luo Fei sitting behind them; Feng Zhiqiang, Gao Xiangyang, Ding Jianwei, Deng Zhiyong, and An Lijun were scattered in other places.

Now Xia Lan stirred her coffee and, after taking a sip, said, "I never expected Li Fei to leave so suddenly, but the main issue now is the development of the Eiffel Chain Hotel. If you have any good ideas, feel free to share them with me."

Here it came, it was really happening!

Feng Zhiqiang and Gao Xiangyang exchanged glances, and Ding Jianwei glanced at the other three people as well.

However, none of the five spoke up first.

Even though they had expressed their thoughts at the Cemetery, as well as in the car just now, they now found it somewhat embarrassing to voice them directly.

"Feng Zhiqiang, Gao Xiangyang, you were Li Fei’s college classmates. What kind of thoughts do you have?"

Feng Zhiqiang gathered his thoughts before speaking, "Sister-in-law, let me go first then. The Eiffel Chain Hotel is Li’s life’s work. His hope was to develop it into a top 500 global hotel enterprise group. Therefore, I also don’t want to see the hotel close suddenly because he left this world. So, my idea is to give our full support to you!"

Give our full support to you!

Without much thought, Xia Lan could guess what the others were thinking since Ye Qiu had already anticipated these people’s ideas.

And it was indeed the case.

"How exactly will you fully support me?"

Xia Lan asked.

"Previously, I had my own company and business, but now I can hand over the management to someone else, then come back to the Eiffel Chain Hotel to take charge of one or several departments. That way, I can fully assist the sister-in-law with the hotel group’s big and small affairs,"

said Feng Zhiqiang.

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but smile. Feng Zhiqiang was somewhat greedy, but not too greedy.

However, he had forgotten the agreement he had with Li Fei at the beginning, which showed that he was still someone who wanted a piece of the action.

"Gao Xiangyang, what about you?"

"Me? Sister-in-law, my thought is actually similar to Lao Feng’s but still different."

"What’s the difference?"

"My thought is that you should continue taking over Li’s positions as Chairman and President, but you can let us manage the company’s affairs, big and small. This way, you won’t need to worry about the company and can stay at home with the children!"

Gao Xiangyang said.

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Lan, thinking she might get angry upon hearing this. But Xia Lan’s expression remained unchanged, and he couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

However, he always felt Xia Lan was just an ordinary woman with low intelligence, poor management skills, and lacking experience.

Clearly, Gao Xiangyang’s idea now represented not only his view but also that of Feng Zhiqiang and Ding Jianwei. They wanted to take over all the management rights of the Eiffel Chain Hotel and have Xia Lan stay at home taking care of the children, just like before.

But if that were really the case, there would have been no need for Xia Lan to talk to these people here.

From this, Ye Qiu thought Gao Xiangyang was even more greedy than Feng Zhiqiang. He didn’t just want a piece of the action; he wanted the whole thing.

After hearing this, Xia Lan then turned to Ding Jianwei and asked, "Professor Ding, you’ve been friends and partners with Li Fei for many years too, what do you think?"

"Sister-in-law, actually, my idea is somewhat similar yet different from those two. I believe that the hotel’s management and development should be left to experienced and capable professional managers. I’m a university professor, obviously with no time, but I have trained many talents in this area, and I could recommend them to take roles in various departments."

This surprised Ye Qiu even more. Professor Ding, who claimed to have no time of his own, was still trying to place people he knew into positions.

After listening, Xia Lan’s expression had changed slightly, but seeing that Ye Qiu hadn’t said anything, she said, "I will consider the ideas from the three of you when I get back."

"Boss Deng, Boss An, what are your thoughts?"

Xia Lan asked.

These two not only wanted a share of the profits, but also wanted to sell first. However, such an approach would surely be opposed by Feng Zhiqiang and the other two, which is why An Lijun said, "Sister-in-law, my opinion isn’t much different from those three. But no matter what, I’ll support whatever decision sister-in-law makes."

"Is there anything else?"

Xia Lan asked.

"That’s all for now."

Feng Zhiqiang replied.

"Then I’ll go back and think about it, and I’ll give you an answer tomorrow."

Xia Lan said.

She hadn’t finished her cup of coffee, but she no longer had the mood to drink it. These people either wanted to divide the management rights of the hotel chain or to completely sideline her authority in the hotel, which was in complete contradiction to the original agreement with Li Fei.

Xia Lan didn’t expect that these people would so quickly forget their agreement with Li Fei.

When Xia Lan called for the waiter, preparing to pay the bill, Feng Zhiqiang said, "Sister-in-law, let me pay. We can sit here a bit longer and continue chatting."

Xia Lan, Luo Fei, and Ye Qiu headed outside.

As they got into Ye Qiu’s car outside, Xia Lan said, "This is really infuriating. Not only do these people look down on me, but they’ve also so quickly forgotten the agreement they had with Li Fei. Moreover, it’s explicitly stated in the cooperation terms that they are not to interfere with the management rights of the hotel group."

"Sister-in-law, I actually think the idea of Feng Zhiqiang and the other two is quite normal. If it were me, I would have the same thoughts. Of course, most people would feel the same. What I’m most afraid of are those who slowly gain your trust, then take over all the management rights of the company, and finally kick you out directly."

Ye Qiu said.

"Would they dare?"

"There’s nothing they wouldn’t dare. In this world, interests come first, especially for these capitalists; such a matter really isn’t a big deal."

Xia Lan felt the same and suddenly seemed a bit disheartened. Now that these five shareholders had such attitudes, who knows what the hotel group’s management would think?

Xia Lan slightly regretted not continuing to work at the hotel chain company. If she had stayed at the hotel all along, these people probably wouldn’t have dared to entertain such thoughts.

Ye Qiu drove away from the place, ready to take Xia Lan back to her house.

However, just after driving for less than twenty minutes, Xia Lan’s phone suddenly rang; it was An Lijun calling.

"Boss An, what’s the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, actually, Boss Deng and I think, why not sell the hotel to another big boss?"

Sell the Eiffel Chain Hotel?

That was indeed a shock to Xia Lan!

She had never thought that the two of them would have such a thought.

The hotel was developing well, why sell it now?

"Why?"

Xia Lan asked.

"To be honest, though the Eiffel Chain Hotel is doing well now, the competition in the hotel industry is too intense. We fear one day it might suddenly go under. It might be better to sell it off at a high price based on its current market value now. That way, both you and your niece can receive a large sum of money, enough for several generations to live comfortably."
