Ten minutes later…
A knock came from outside the door.
"Come in! Liu Xuan, you two come in too," Ye Hong said.
The private room door opened, and Zhou Wenhua, Liu Xuan, and Zhao Xuan entered the room together.
"First, I have an announcement. Mr. Lin and I have reached an agreement for Jinye Hotel to be transferred to Mr. Lin for twenty billion. Director Zhou, please prepare to receive the deposit and issue a receipt. The transaction will be completed within one week," Ye Hong said, looking at the three.
The three had different expressions upon hearing this news.
Zhou Wenhua looked indifferent. He was an old hand by Ye Hong's side, not only serving as the Chief Financial Officer of Jinye Hotel but also holding other positions elsewhere. Selling Jinye Hotel actually lightened his burden.
Liu Xuan's face was ashen. He was a senior professional manager hired by Ye Hong from a headhunting company. Although he lost his job here, it would be easy to find another, but finding one as good would be difficult.
Zhao Xuan was the happiest of all; she was flushed with excitement, looking exceptionally beautiful.
Zhou Wenhua provided Lin Dong with an account, and Lin Dong directly transferred a ten percent deposit of two billion into it, receiving a receipt issued by Zhou Wenhua.
After the deposit transfer was completed, there was basically no suspense left in this transaction. Ye Hong's gaze towards Lin Dong also changed slightly.
According to Li Bin, this kid, being able to shell out so much cash to buy the hotel, must be from one of those hidden families. Ye Hong didn't know much about these people; they were somewhat mysterious and had terrifyingly great power. Unless one reached a certain level, it was impossible to even come into contact with them. It was said that these people were more than just rich.
At this moment, Lin Dong said, "Boss Ye, I'm still a student and don't have much time to handle the handover. You can just find Sister Zhao Xuan; she will be the general manager here from now on."
"Director Zhou, do as Mr. Lin says," Ye Hong told Zhou Wenhua.
"Yes, Chairman Ye!"
Then Ye Hong said to Lin Dong:
"Mr. Lin, since the deal is done, we can consider ourselves friends. Calling me 'Boss Ye' is too formal. My name is Ye Hong, and I'm a few years older than you. So, if you don't mind me taking advantage, how about calling me Brother Ye?"
"Since Brother Ye puts it that way, then you also shouldn't call me Mr. Lin. Just call me Brother Lin!"
"Haha… Good, Brother Lin is truly straightforward! If you ever come to Lake City in the future, you must contact me, Brother Ye, so I can fulfill my duties as a host."
"Don't worry, Brother Ye, I will definitely find you when I'm in Lake City," Lin Dong said.
He suddenly remembered that his cousin, Wang Li, was studying in Lake City, wasn't she? Perhaps he might really need his help in the future.
"Then Brother Ye won't bother you any longer. I have to rush back to Lake City this afternoon. Brother Lin, remember, you must find me when you're in Lake City. I, Brother Ye, also have some connections in Lake City."
"Definitely, definitely."
Ye Hong left, and Zhou Wenhua and Liu Xuan left with him.
Zhao Xuan stayed behind, knowing that from now on, she would be serving this impossibly young boss.
"Sister Xuan, this hotel will be handed over to you from now on," Lin Dong said to Zhao Xuan, who remained.
"Director Lin, rest assured, I will not let you down and will manage the hotel well."
Chairman's Office, Jinye Hotel.
Ye Hong and Liu Xuan were inside.
"Liu Xuan, the hotel is about to change owners. If you want to continue working here, I can talk to Brother Lin. Even if you can't be the general manager, being a department manager is still an option."
Upon hearing that Ye Hong wanted him to stay as a department manager, Liu Xuan felt he couldn't afford to lose face. Besides, the status of a department manager and a general manager differed greatly, not to mention the vast difference in benefits. He quickly said:
"Chairman Ye, since you're leaving, I don't want to work here anymore. I want to follow you."
"Liu Xuan, I don't have a suitable position for you right now. How about I pay you a full year's salary, and you look for another job? How does that sound?"
"Chairman Ye, we still have several years left on our contract! You can't just abandon me like this!" Liu Xuan said, somewhat anxiously.
"Liu Xuan, I've already said it this far, why don't you understand? Do I have to spell it out? Do you think I don't know anything about what you've done these past few years? It's just that you haven't crossed my bottom line, so I've turned a blind eye. If I were to really pursue it, the things you've done, while not huge, are enough to get you ten or eight years in prison."
Upon hearing Ye Hong say this, Liu Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. He had thought his actions over the past few years were well-hidden, and for a hotel with an annual turnover of several billion, they were insignificant. He never expected the boss to know about them.
Liu Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Chairman Ye, I understand. I'll pack my things and leave immediately."
"You've also worked for me for several years. Go to Director Zhou and collect this year's salary before you leave!"
"Thank you, Chairman Ye!!!"
Liu Xuan finished speaking and left the room.
After leaving the hotel, Lin Dong intended to buy a sports car, but after driving around for a while, he found none he liked. They were all mass-produced cars, and the slightly more expensive ones weren't in stock, requiring pre-orders.
After buying a laptop and some brand-name clothes for changing, Lin Dong returned to the International Mansion.
Lying on the leather sofa, he checked his system and found he had twenty more Divine Power Points.
Host: Lin Dong
Balance: 9999997892598996
Physique: 19 (Weak) +
Spirit: 28 (Normal) +
Skills: Car Driving (Beginner) +
Divine Power Points: 20
His physique had reached nineteen points, but it was still weak.
His spirit remained at twenty-eight points.
A beginner-level car driving skill was added to the skill bar.
Lin Dong added eleven more Divine Power Points to his body.
His physique instantly rose to thirty points, changing from weak to normal.
His body continuously heated up.
After a full minute, the heat slowly subsided.
Lin Dong added six Divine Power Points to his spirit, changing it from the original twenty-eight points to thirty-four points.
He instantly felt a clear sensation in his mind.
It seemed he had truly become smarter.
The remaining three points were all added to the car driving skill.
After doing all this, Lin Dong felt some sweat on his body. He went to the twenty-eighth floor, stripped off his clothes, and jumped directly into the crystal-clear swimming pool.
"So refreshing!!!"
Lin Dong swam a few laps in the pool, then leaned on the edge, exclaiming.
Climbing out of the pool, Lin Dong saw a huge mirror. Approaching it, a person was reflected inside.
"Is this me?"
Lin Dong could hardly believe it. Although the person in the mirror still had his face, his body had completely transformed.
The old Lin Dong, though handsome, was slender and couldn't quite fill out his nearly 1.8-meter height.
But the person in the mirror now had a sculpted physique; there was no longer any sense of weakness, only a powerful presence.
After a long moment of stunned silence, Lin Dong came back to his senses and said, "This system is truly invincible!"
Changing into a newly bought set of brand-name clothes, Lin Dong returned to the huge mirror. The reflection of Lin Dong was now a handsome, well-proportioned, top-tier rich and handsome guy who also owned a mine.
With this appearance, being a gigolo would be more than enough!
Lin Dong said very pretentiously, "Gentlemen, please keep a close eye on your girlfriends, sisters, and sisters-in-law, because… I'm going out! Haha…"
