The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 204 Big-Eyed Cute Girl Tian Xiwei (4k)

"Ta Tata..."

Just as Gu Heng, Dong Qiming, and the others were walking into the Beichun Junlan Hotel, a series of rapid footsteps came from the direction of the elevator.

Looking around, there were about twenty people.

They looked travel-worn, all wearing long down jackets.

Because Gu Heng and his group were heading towards the elevator, while this group was heading towards the hotel entrance, and given the large number of people on both sides, they just happened to bump into each other.

"Yo?"

"Director Zhang, you're only leaving today?"

Dong Qiming saw the middle-aged man at the front of the group and greeted him in a familiar tone.

"Manager Dong, what's going on here...?"

Zhang Xiaobo looked at the enormous scene before him, and seemed a little bewildered.

"Director Zhang, let me introduce you."

Dong Qiming's expression became slightly solemn: "This is Mr. Gu Heng, the newly appointed chairman of our Beichun Junlan Hotel. He has come to inspect our work today."

"Chairman Gu, this is director Zhang Xiaobo."

"Zhang is a well-known domestic film and television director. His works include hit dramas such as 'To Be a Better Man,' 'Nothing But Thirty,' and 'A Little Reunion.'"

After introducing Gu Heng's identity, Dong Qiming then introduced the background of Zhang Xiaobo and others to Gu Heng: "Director Zhang is currently filming a new drama called 'Half-Mature Men and Women.' Some scenes need to be filmed in Beichun. Currently, the 24th and 27th floors of our hotel have been booked by their crew."

"Chairman Gu, you are truly a promising young man!"

Looking at Gu Heng, who stood upright and had a dignified appearance, Zhang Xiaobo couldn't help but feel astonished.

Gu Heng is simply too young, and with his physique and looks, he's even more handsome and stylish than many male celebrities in the film and television industry.

If Dong Qiming hadn't introduced him personally, he would never have imagined that Gu Heng was actually the chairman of this five-star hotel, let alone that he was a super-rich A10 level tycoon.

"Director Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

With a smile, Gu Heng shook hands with Zhang Xiaobo's outstretched right hand: "Welcome to the Beichun Junlan Hotel. I hope you have a pleasant stay."

"Satisfied!"

"Our hotel is excellent!"

"Both the rooms and the amenities are fantastic!"

Zhang Xiaobo was very enthusiastic, praising Gu Heng repeatedly.

A famous film and television director—that sounds impressive.

In reality, they are still just tools of capital.

In the face of capital, knowing how to be in awe is the first lesson in their industry, and Gu Heng, who is standing in front of Zhang Xiaobo at this moment, is obviously a capital tycoon.

So young, yet he's in charge of a five-star hotel.

The resources and power behind it are simply unimaginable.

Because of Su Lei, Gu Heng had a fairly comprehensive and profound understanding of the operating rules of the film and television industry, so he understood very well why Zhang Xiaobo was so enthusiastic and respectful.

"As long as you're satisfied."

"Then I wish Director Zhang's new film great success in advance."

Gu Heng said a few polite words, and Zhang Xiaobo knew from Gu Heng's words that Gu Heng did not intend to talk any further.

"Thank you for your blessings, Chairman Gu."

"Then you continue with your work, I won't bother you any longer."

After Zhang Xiaobo finished speaking, he called out to those behind him, "Come on, let's all spread out to the sides and let Chairman Gu and the others go first."

Everyone in the crew heard Dong Qiming's introduction and Gu Heng and Zhang Xiaobo's conversation.

The crew dispersed, Gu Heng smiled and nodded at Zhang Xiaobo, then said nothing more, and walked towards the elevator surrounded by Dong Qiming and many other hotel executives.

During this time, Gu Heng casually glanced at the crew members on both sides.

Suddenly, a girl in the crowd caught his attention.

Like everyone else around her, she was wearing a heavy, long down jacket. However, unlike the others, she was wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, with only her eyes showing.

But those eyes alone were enough to amaze Gu Heng.

Her round, almond-shaped eyes, paired with thick, curled eyelashes, and large, bright pupils, seem to hold a pool of autumn water, and she even has a built-in soft-focus filter.

Tian Xiwei!
With just those eyes, Gu Heng instantly recognized who the girl hidden in the crowd was; her eyes were simply too distinctive.

'She was actually the lead actress in this drama…'

The thought flashed through Gu Heng's mind, but he did not stop. After a fleeting glance, he continued walking forward.

Soon, Gu Heng and the others entered the elevator.

The entire hotel lobby has been restored to its original spaciousness.

"let's go."

Zhang Xiaobo waved to the crowd.

Behind her, Tian Xiwei seemed to be drifting off into thought.

Recalling the scene just now, Gu Heng, surrounded by people and exuding nobility in every gesture, had left a very deep impression on her.

"Tian Tian, ​​what are you thinking about?"

Just as Tian Xiwei was somewhat distracted, her manager, who was walking beside her, snapped her fingers in front of her eyes: "Could it be that you're thinking about that Chairman Gu from earlier?"

"Yes."

Tian Xiwei snapped out of her daze and readily admitted, "That Chairman Gu looks really young."

"how?"

"have a thought?"

Agent Lu Ya teased Tian Xiwei, "If you're interested, I encourage you to give it a shot. That Mr. Gu from earlier is tall, handsome, and rich. I think you two are a perfect match."

We'll see~

"Let's see how fate brings us together~"

Tian Xiwei's eyes regained their liveliness, and her voice carried a hint of cheerfulness: "Let's focus on filming the next few scenes first~"

Upon hearing Tian Xiwei's reply, a smile flickered in Lu Ya's eyes.

Besides, I don't reject it.

It depends on fate, which means having the intention.

She has been Tian Xiwei's manager since her debut.

During their work, they encountered many powerful and influential men, but Tian Xiwei had no interest in them whatsoever.

Entertainment, Vanity Fair.

With Tian Xiwei's looks and figure, it's natural that many men would try to take advantage of her.

It may be through bribery or coercion.

Tian Xiwei has always been uncompromising in this regard. Beneath her seemingly sweet exterior lies a stubborn and strong-willed nature.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Xiwei has missed many valuable opportunities; otherwise, with her overall qualities, she wouldn't have only just begun to stand out today.

Lu Ya felt a mixture of admiration and helplessness towards Tian Xiwei's unwavering commitment to her principles.

Because she understands the rules of this industry very well, and that to stand out in this industry and reach the top step by step, one must have capital support behind them.

Without financial backing, Tian Xiwei will never be able to break into the film industry and will only be able to circulate in the television drama circle, forever only able to pick and choose what others have left over.

For female celebrities, the golden period of their career is about ten years.

Once a female celebrity is over thirty, the difficulty of making a significant breakthrough in her career increases exponentially, and many resources will automatically be tilted towards younger actresses.

Tian Xiwei is already 26 years old this year, and will be 27 next year.

Despite being in the industry for six years, he still doesn't have a single representative work that he can be proud of.

Lu Ya saw this and was very anxious.

Now, finally, a powerful investor whom Tian Xiwei doesn't reject has appeared, and Lu Ya inexplicably feels like the dawn has broken.

'Try it!'

We must fight for it!

……

Inside the elevator, Gu Heng stood in the center.

How long will their film crew stay in Beichun?

Gu Heng asked Dong Qiming beside him.

"About ten days."

Dong Qiming answered truthfully: "The main filming location for their drama is Seoul, so they won't stay in Bukchun for long. If the filming progresses quickly enough, they might even finish early."

Who are the lead actors in this drama?

The elevator at Junlan Hotel is very fast; in the blink of an eye, we arrived at the 17th floor, which is the hotel's executive floor.

Dong Qiming replied with a smile: "Only the male and female leads are somewhat famous. The male lead's name is Xin Yunlai, and the female lead's name is Tian Xiwei. They are both second-tier actors."

As the elevator doors opened, Gu Heng was the first to step out.

Looking around, the entire office area was bustling with activity.

Each workstation, each employee.

Everyone has their own role, like precise gears, ensuring that the five-star hotel beneath their feet can operate smoothly.

"Chairman Gu, our hotel has a total of ten departments."

Dong Qiming then introduced, "The office area you see in front of you is the office area of ​​our hotel's marketing department, finance department and human resources department. At the same time, our hotel's executive office is also located on this floor."

"The work atmosphere is good."

Before Gu Heng came to take over the Beichun Junlan Hotel, he naturally did his homework in advance.

The ten departments mentioned by Dong Qiming are merely a general overview.

In fact, if these ten departments are broken down further, each major department contains several smaller departments.

Take the finance department that Dong Qiming just introduced as an example. It includes the accounting department, the purchasing department, and the cost control department.

For example, the Human Resources Department also includes the Recruitment Department, Training Department, and Employee Relations Department.

In addition to the three major departments mentioned by Dong Qiming, Beichun Junlan Hotel also has a front office department, a room service department, a food and beverage department, an engineering department, a security department, a network support department, and the administrative office that Dong Qiming mentioned last.

Different departments have different responsibilities.

Different positions lead to different career paths.

The entire Beichun Junlan Hotel is like a large enterprise, and for the enterprise to enter a virtuous cycle of development, there must be a standardized upward channel.

Dong Qiming has done an excellent job in this regard.

From employee to senior employee, from team leader to supervisor, from small department manager to large department director, the entire promotion path is very clear and transparent.

Gu Heng and Dong Qiming walked and talked, and soon arrived at the conference room of the hotel's executive office, where everyone took their seats.

The process was familiar. Since Beichun Junlan Hotel was wholly owned by Gu Heng, there was no need for any buck-passing. Gu Heng directly instructed Yang Wenjie and Xu Ke to lead their respective teams to get to work.

Next came the introduction and identification process.

The hotel executives who are qualified to accompany Dong Qiming to appear before Gu Heng today must be at least department directors. Those small department managers are not qualified to appear before Gu Heng at all.

"Manager Dong, could you share your thoughts on the future development of our hotel?"

After Dong Qiming finished introducing the group of hotel executives, Gu Heng sat in the main seat and asked Dong Qiming a question.

Just now at the hotel entrance, although Gu Heng clearly stated that the reins of the hotel's future development should remain in Dong Qiming's hands, the prerequisite for this was that Gu Heng had to be aware of and give his permission.

"Chairman Gu, our Beichun Junlan Hotel is positioned as a luxury hotel."

"Luxury hotels, as the pinnacle of the ivory tower, must have both luxurious and top-notch hardware and exquisite and ultimate service. They carry profound significance in terms of quality service, culture and art, business and social interaction, technological innovation and city image."

Dong Qiming was clearly prepared for Gu Heng's question.

He didn't come to the Beichun Junlan Hotel from Marriott International to retire there. He was driven by a burning desire to prove his worth and ability to those blind fools at Marriott International.

At 54, it's the perfect time to strive and work hard!
"Although we position and promote Junlan as a luxury hotel, Junlan is still quite far from meeting international standards for luxury hotels. Therefore, regarding the future development of Junlan, I think Junlan's short-term goal is to make Junlan a truly luxurious hotel."

Gu Heng nodded slightly in agreement upon hearing what Dong Qiming said.

Gu Heng stayed at the Beichun Junlan Hotel for a week, and the room he stayed in was the presidential suite.

To be honest, it is quite different from the luxury five-star hotels that Gu Heng stayed in in Zhonghai.

Ordinary people might not notice it, but for wealthy people who travel or go on business trips all year round, the difference is easy to perceive.

In short, the Beichun Junlan Hotel does not yet meet the quality standards of a luxury hotel. Its claim to be a luxury hotel is somewhat of a deceptive marketing tactic.

"Chairman Gu, I plan to focus on five dimensions over the next six months."

"First and foremost is the service dimension. Luxury hotels typically represent the pinnacle of service quality and accommodation experience, providing guests with the ultimate enjoyment by offering unparalleled room facilities, exquisite cuisine, personalized service, and exceptional customer care."

“In this respect, our hotel still has a lot of room for improvement.”

When Dong Qiming spoke about his strengths, a strong sense of confidence radiated from his brows.

“I think the front office, housekeeping, and food and beverage departments, from top to bottom, whether they are department leaders or ordinary employees, all need to be retrained.”

"Because they are at the forefront of guest interaction, their service quality directly affects guests' first impression of our hotel, and in my opinion, their current service quality is completely below the standard expected of a luxury hotel."

As Dong Qiming finished speaking, the three department directors who had just been addressed by Dong Qiming immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Secondly, there's the technological dimension. Luxury hotels are always at the forefront of innovation and technology. Although our hotel has fully implemented a smart room system, I believe there is still room for improvement in this area."

"For example, the intelligent delivery robots and smart laundry rooms that are currently popular in the high-end hotel industry can be considered for introduction by our hotel."

"At the same time, we can also consider deploying a big data analytics platform to conduct in-depth analysis of customer consumption behavior, preferences, feedback, and other data. Then, through data analysis, we can understand customer needs and pain points, and optimize service processes and product design..."

Without any notes, Dong Qiming laid out his entire vision for the future development of the Beichun Junlan Hotel to Gu Heng.

Time slips away slowly amidst the hustle and bustle...
