From a distance, Gan Yuan saw the young woman immediately smile and come to greet her, extending her right hand.
"Miss Gan, hello, I am the assistant arranged for you by the Duke, you can call me Helen."
Gan Yuan reached out to shake her hand and instantly felt the force behind the girl’s fingertips, especially the notable calluses on the palm of her hand and the base of her thumb.
She knew that Huangfu Jue had definitely not arranged for an ordinary person to assist her.
This Miss Helen must have some impressive skills.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they walked together into the elevator, where Helen immediately began to explain the day’s work schedule.
"Since it’s Monday, there happens to be a board meeting. After the meeting, I will give you a tour of the hotel. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time, I am at your service 24 hours a day." Closing her work schedule, Helen kindly reminded, "This hotel is partly owned by nobles and has been operating at a loss. Those old folks are not easy to deal with; it’s best if you’re prepared."
Gan Yuan nodded, "Do you have the board meeting materials?"
Helen immediately handed over a stack of documents that were clearly prepared in advance.
Following Helen to the office, Gan Yuan had already roughly skimmed through the document in her hand. Sure enough, there were many surnames in the board meeting that belonged to very old aristocratic families.
It was no wonder, as this hotel was a massive investment, known for its luxury. It had caused quite a stir at its opening but had to be sold due to poor management. Huangfu Jue’s investment advisors saw potential in it and thus suggested he buy it.
As someone who had many businesses under his belt, Huangfu Jue could not possibly manage them all. The management team had always been in the choice process, and it just so happened that Gan Yuan filled this gap.
Closing the documents she was holding, Gan Yuan glanced at her watch and pressed the button for the ninth floor.
"Let’s not go to the studio; let’s take a look around first."
To understand a place, walking around and seeing it for yourself is better than any document.
There was still an hour before the meeting, which was enough for her to truly understand the hotel.
From the guest rooms to the fitness center to the restaurant... Gan Yuan looked all around and even visited the employee dormitories.
All the staff members at various departments did not expect her surprise visit, and her presence caught everyone off guard, revealing the usual state of affairs.
Having made her rounds, Gan Yuan already had a clear idea in her mind.
Twenty minutes later, when she appeared in the meeting room, all the directors were already present, with many familiar faces among them. To her right, in the second seat, was none other than Qian Xueying.
She remembered that according to the documents, it should have been Duke Locke, not Qian Xueying.
Qian Xueying stood up with a smile, gesturing subtly, and a lawyer walked over to hand Gan Yuan a set of documents, "These are personally signed by Duke Locke. From today onward, all of Duke Locke’s businesses will be managed by Miss Qian Xueying."
"I see." Gan Yuan looked over the documents, handed them to Helen, and glanced at the empty chief seat on her right, "Then... let us begin!"
"Wait a moment!" The door opened, and Abel walked in, smiling jovially, "Apologies everyone, I am late."
The arrival of Abel prompted displeased looks from the several old nobles in attendance. These old-fashioned folks certainly wouldn’t have any affection for this frivolous playboy.
