The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 237

Then, he contacted the food and drink section, where he had them prepare a table full of the best quality food to send to the boss.

News that David Lidell, the most powerful boss, was at the Golden Leaf Hotel soon spread throughout the hotel. Everyone started to get busy, hoping to make a good impression on him. David sat in the number one private room, which was his only one.

Not long after, the General Manager of Golden Leaf Hotel came.

The general manager was a middle-aged man in his forties. But David could not remember his name. All he remembered was that he had promoted an assistant manager after sending Pearl elsewhere. A lot happened after that, which meant he had little time to stay in South River Province, and indeed, there was no time to visit the Golden Leaf Hotel.

"Mr Liddell? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I can send some people to greet you" Franco Yoder said carefully.

David may not have much of an impression of him, but he remembers David clearly.

Not long ago, East League Capitals arranged a meeting via video call. As General Manager of Golden Leaf Hotel, owned by East League Capitals, he also had the honor to attend. To this day, David's words are still fresh in his memory.

“I don't like fancy and frivolous things. So don't focus on things like this in the future. Spend more time thinking about your work and how you can do it better. Here's what to think.” said David.

"Understand me, Mr. Liddell! I will remember your advice and do my best to carry out my responsibilities to the best of my ability. I won't let you down." said Franco, looking down.

“Oh, right! What's yourname?" ask David.

"Mr Liddell, my name is Franco Yoder!

Franco means 'free man', and my last name is Yoder." explains Franco."

This was the first time he had met a boss like this. An eight-star hotel was worth twenty billion, however, he did not know the name of the General Manager. He's not like the other bosses. He's cool and aloof. But Franco regained his composure when recalling that East League Capitals has assets worth several trillion dollars and its value still continues to rise over time.

To a young boss, twenty billion dollars might feel the same as ten or twenty dollars to him. There may be many instances where he did not know that his business was generating relentless income for him.

“Franco! What about the families of my two aunts, Sally Lowe and Diana Lidell? Be honest, and don't try to spice up the story. I don't like sycophants, I like to hear the truth."

"Mr Liddell, both of your aunt's families are great. They didn't abuse their power in the hotel just because they were in contact with you. Instead, they have worked hard to learn everything about the hotel and can do a direct job on the hotel's current operations."

”Do you think they will be able to keep the hotel running if they are given the responsibility now? In other words, do you think hotel performance will increase or decrease?”

“I don't think his appearance will go down! For the improvement, it might be less noticeable, but I don't think that would be too much of a problem. This hotel is on the right track. The hotel just needs to keep maintaining operations" Franco said.

At that moment, he sighed deeply. The good times will finally end. He had long known that he was only a temporary General Manager. Mr. Liddell's relatives will replace him once they are familiar with the operation of the hotel. It is true what he predicted. Even so, there was nothing he could do.

After all, they were his relatives. Anyone would do the same. It was impossible for him to gain the full trust of the boss, no matter how great his performance was.

Moreover, she was not like the competent, young, and beautiful Pearl. He has become general manager of East League Capitals after gaining the trust of his boss, and now has a net worth of several tens of billions of dollars.

What he expected was that the boss would not fire him. He would be happy if he could return to his position as Assistant Manager and help the boss' relatives.

"All right! My plan for today's trip was to leave the hotel to my aunt. What say?" ask David.

"I have no opinion, Mr. Liddell! I will complete the handover and do my best to help them from today onwards to ensure hotel performance continues to improve" Franco replied.

In front of him, David had used the power of his mind to observe Franco after he finished speaking. If Franco shows signs of hatred or other similar emotions, it is impossible for David to hold him back. But Franco just showed signs of nervousness. She may be worried that she will be fired, which is why she insists that she will help her aunt manage the hotel.

For David, a person's competence is not the most important factor in hiring someone. The most important thing for him is his attitude. No matter how capable they were, he would not hire them if their hearts were not in the right place.

This was because he was different from the other bosses. Other bosses will turn a blind eye to our weaknesses if we are capable enough and able to raise money for them. But David doesn't have to do that. He did not need someone to make money for him because he already had too much money that he could not spend. So, what's the point of continuing to make more money?

Franco has been doing well lately. David might want to give him a promotion. East League Capitals are a big team, which means the workforce is needed in many areas. Golden Leaf Hotel is just the most insignificant asset of East League Capitals.

“Franco! I will hand over the Golden Leaf Hotel to my aunt in no time, and you will no longer be the General Manager.

Don't you have an opinion on that?" asked David curiously.

"Mr Liddell, I'm just an employee. Although it sounds self-deceiving to say that working anywhere is the same, I will still accept the arrangements you have made. I will work hard and do my best wherever I go.” Franco said humbly.

"Not bad! Your attitude is very good, so don't worry! East League Capitals is a big team with assets worth several trillion dollars. After today, it will continue to increase to be worth ten trillion dollars or even a hundred trillion dollars. There are plenty of opportunities for you to show your skills. The Golden Leaf Hotel is just the least important part of it all, and you might earn more by stepping out of this place. I'll call Pearl tonight, and you can tell her what your skills are. He will set a position that suits you, and that position will not be lower than the position you hold now. Work hard, because the East League Capitals won't take you!" David said with satisfaction.

"Thank you Mr. Liddell! I won't let you down.” said Franco excitedly as he lowered his head.

“OK, call Aunt Sally and the others!"

”Good, Mr. Liddell!"

Shortly after, Sally and Diana came with the family.

“Dave! When are you back?

Why didn't you call me first?" ask Aunt Sally as soon as she comes in.

"Really! Dave, you haven't been back for a long time. Your business can be booming, but make sure you also take care of your health.” said Diana.

Except for them, everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells, and they did not dare to say anything. As they learn more about David's abilities, everyone except Sally and Diana becomes fearful of David.

Sally and Diana are two people who believe that David will always be their niece no matter how successful he is. Moreover, they felt that they had never done anything wrong to David and did not need to be a righteous pretender when they were elders.

“Aunt Sally, Aunt Diana, please sit down. I just got back too. I've been busy with business in the Capital recently and haven't had time to go home to visit" David said as he stood up.

He could be disrespectful in front of anyone except Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana. They were the two people he had to treat with respect for the rest of his life. If it wasn't for them, David wouldn't know if he'd still be alive by now. Moreover, even if he was still alive, he would probably live with a dark and twisted mind.

“How long will you stay here this time?" ask Aunt Sally.

“Depends on the situation, but maybe only for a few days. Let's enjoy our food first! There's something I need to talk to you guys later.”

Both the family and David then started eating. The table is filled with high quality food prepared according to the highest standards of the hotel.

After they finished, David put down his fork and asked, “Aunt Sally, Aunt Diana. How's the job for you guys?"

"Not bad!" They both answered simultaneously.

“Are you sure now you understand how the hotel should be run?"

”Yes, most of them!"

"That's great! I made arrangements for the East League Capitals to break away from the Golden Leaf Hotel and assign you two to run it. In other words, the Golden Leaf Hotel will be yours in the future, and all revenues will be yours. Each of you will own 50 percent of the shares. What do you think?"

"WHAT?"

The two family members present were stunned. They all feel a little confused. David's gonna give them the Golden Leaf Hotel?

It is an eight-star hotel worth twenty billion dollars that collects a revenue of several billion dollars every year.

It is the only hotel of this level in the South River Province.

“Dave! Th-that's not gonna work! I-I can't take it!" Aunt Sally hurriedly refused.

They now receive a salary of several million dollars each month, and that is more than enough for them. They couldn't take anything away from David.

“Dave! We also cannot accept. Everything is fine as it is now. Our family earns two million dollars a month, and that's more than enough. We won't be able to spend that much money" Aunt Diana said.

“Aunt Sally, Aunt Diana, help me explain! You have been working here for some time now, and you should have an understanding of the power of the East League Capitals. This hotel means nothing to me! You are my closest relatives, and you have played a big part in shaping me into what I am today. Therefore, you should be able to accept it! Otherwise, I wouldn't be comfortable with myself."

"Umm.." Sally and Diana exchanged glances.

"All right then! We'll take it, Dave. You're doing a good job right now, but don't work too hard and tire yourself out. If you need this hotel in the future, we are ready to return it immediately. Let's just say we helped you manage it as an alternative route for you. The business world is like a war zone, and I have heard many instances where billionaires lost their entire fortune overnight. You must be careful. This will always be your home."

"All right! I know what you mean, Aunt Sally. In that case, I will ask my lawyer to stop by later to help East League Capitals divest from Golden Leaf Hotel and then share the shares with both of you."

Except for Diana and Sally, everyone present trembled slightly. To date, their family's net worth is still limited to a few million dollars. But after today, their net worth will increase to several billion dollars. A leap of this magnitude is more miraculous than witnessing a real miracle. From today onwards, their identities are also different.

The procedure was completed quickly under David's direction. By the afternoon, everything was taken care of. Since then, Golden Leaf Hotel is no longer part of East League Capitals. Instead, it belonged to Sally Lowe and Diana Lidell.

Of course, an asset worth only twenty billion dollars was nothing to David. To him, money was only a worldly treasure. A person's ability is something that truly belongs to him. Therefore, the most important thing to do now was to work hard and increase his strength.
