Chapter 81: Chapter 079 My Family Hotel
```
Bafang International Hotel is located at the center of Honghe Road, surrounded by extremely famous business hubs like Global Finance, and it's just one intersection away from the renowned The Bund in Magic City.
Standing on the hotel balcony, one can have a panoramic view of the entire Bund.
The entire hotel is eighty-eight stories high and has three hundred ninety-five guest rooms and suites. Among those, Yonghe Hall located on the thirteenth floor is a Michelin-starred restaurant, known for its quiet and elegant environment.
The reason Bafang International stands out among the multitude of five-star hotels, even ranking fifth among ninety-five five-star hotels, is inseparable from its first-class facilities.
Of course, the international standard of management and the supreme service that every guest enjoys are equally important.
It was 10:30 PM when Chu Mo finally reached an agreement on the cooperation with the last departing Qiu Guodong and sent him off, by which time it was already quite late.
Sitting in the spacious and luxurious lobby, the soft and soothing light music echoing in his ears, Chu Mo took a deep breath and suddenly felt an indomitable spirit surge within him.
The moment the four old foxes agreed to transfer the shares to him, one could say that the whole Bafang International Hotel was now his.
No longer subjugated to others, but completely his own, from this moment on, this eighty-eight story skyscraper would lie prostrate under his feet.
Naturally, the feeling of relief in his heart was inevitable.
"Mr. Chu, for our next step... do we really plan to venture into the high-end hotel industry?"
Zhan Bingxue, with her dark red hair neatly bundled behind her head, gently sat beside him. The beautiful chairwoman of Bafang International looked somewhat expectant and anxious.
Chu Mo had not hidden his plans from her, after all, how to proceed thereafter would be her responsibility. If the idea of a hundred-billion-dollar empire succeeded, the person to sit in that position would still be this charming woman before him.
Taking off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, he gently massaged it while Qin Zixuan, his assistant who received formal maid training, considerately began massaging his stiff shoulders.
Indeed, true to her training, Qin Zixuan's dainty hands provided a very comfortable massage, prompting Chu Mo to squint his eyes in pleasure, looking entirely content.
Zhan Bingxue, who was sitting beside him, arched her brow slightly, but then relaxed almost immediately.
And it was then that a relaxed Chu Mo finally said softly,
"Creating an elite club has long been a plan of mine, not an impulsive idea.
I had originally intended to launch this plan in a while, after you were able to stand on your own two feet. However, things change faster than plans.
Recent events have changed my mind. Once we sign the contract with Sun Shangwu and the others tomorrow, you must take immediate action to stabilize the company. Replace anyone who's disobedient or disloyal. This time, as the company's sole shareholder, there'd be absolutely no more opposition.
Once the company stabilizes, your next task will be to expand from Bafang International as the center and acquire all the high-end hotels in the vicinity under Bafang International's name. I don't care about the methods used; I only care about the results, of course, I will provide you with sufficient financial budget.
If you can't handle it alone, you may also recruit some trustworthy teams. As for how to operate, I don't need to teach you that, do I?"
The sitting Zhan Bingxue immediately nodded respectfully. This model-esque beauty of a president was gradually cultivating the aura of a top executive.
Chu Mo believed it wouldn't be long before, as her control over power intensified, her aura would solidify, becoming so formidable that people would hesitate to look her in the eye.
Just then, Chu Mo distinctly felt the hands of Qin Zixuan, who was massaging him from behind, put a little more pressure on him.
It was clear that the maid he had just signed on today was slowly changing her outlook.
"Mr. Chu, do you plan to return to the villa tonight, or would you prefer to rest here?"
As Zhan Bingxue, with her stunningly beautiful face, asked respectfully, Chu Mo glanced at his watch.
At 10:40, driving back to the villa would take at least until about 11:30, and after freshening up, it would be almost midnight.
After a moment's hesitation, Chu Mo gently patted Qin Zixuan's soft, fair hand, signaling her to stop, and moved his shoulders around before he said casually,
"This place is going to be my property from now on anyway, so let's stay tonight to experience our hotel's services.
We won't go back tonight. Also, prepare a room for each of Shou Bo's bodyguards, and arrange a presidential suite for Zi Xuan."
As Chu Mo gently stood up and headed toward the private elevator, guided by Zhan Bingxue and two hotel attendants, he suddenly felt something odd. His eyes swept around and landed on the slender figure at the reception desk in the lobby, who was staring straight at him.
```
His steps came to an abrupt halt, and then a familiar yet strange name quickly surfaced in his mind. After a moment, Chu Mo turned around and walked briskly toward the slender figure.
"Du Yanyan... Du class president, I didn't expect to bump into you here," he said.
Chu Mo stood in front of her with a face full of reminiscence.
It wasn't until then that the woman, with shock and surprise in her eyes, covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"Chu Mo? My goodness, is it really you? I thought I was seeing things just now."
The woman in front of him was called Du Yanyan, Chu Mo's college classmate, and also the class president. Chu Mo remembered she had a beautiful singing voice; during class gatherings, she dominated the microphone like a true maestro.
However, Chu Mo had only a distant relationship with her, belonging to the category of classmates who seldom interacted.
Three years after graduation, Chu Mo, like most of his classmates, had lost contact, including with the lady in front of him.
Now, meeting her again after three years, Chu Mo thought Du Yanyan looked even more ravishing than before.
An off-white checkered jacket, a black semi-transparent blouse, flesh-colored stockings, a black miniskirt, and stiletto heels.
Together with Du Yanyan's tall figure and delicate face, she was absolutely captivating.
Moving his gaze away from her, Chu Mo said with a reminiscent smile:
"Class president, it's really been a long time."
With her long hair cascading over her shoulders, Du Yanyan also took a moment to size up Chu Mo before cocking her head and saying:
"Stop calling me class president. We've all graduated now. Just call me Yanyan. Old classmate, you've changed so much. If Ling Yue hadn't mentioned you in the group before, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you."
On hearing this, Chu Mo, with a curious eyebrow raised, asked:
"Ling Yue? What did she mention about me?"
"It was just a while back in the class group chat. Ling Yue said she ran into you, and mentioned that you've changed a lot, even saying you've become more handsome. What, didn't you see it?"
Embarassed, Chu Mo replied with a sheepish laugh:
"Heh, I've muted the group. I barely read the group chats."
Rolling her flirtatious eyes, Du Yanyan, with an air of resignation, said:
"I figured you must have muted it. Otherwise, you would have spoken up when everyone in the group was discussing you the other day. By the way, what have you been busy with recently? Since graduation, we haven't kept in touch at all."
"Me? Just randomly keeping busy," he replied casually.
Chu Mo added after a pause:
"By the way, I remember back in school you loved to travel everywhere. What are you doing now?"
Brushing a lock of hair from her temple, Du Yanyan's eyes sparkled:
"It's related to my passion. When I was very young, I wished to travel all over the world when I grew up. But because of the financial constraints, I had to think of a compromise.
So, I became a hotel critique. If I work hard, I can earn tens of thousands a month. Not only does this allow me to fulfill my dream, but it also provides the financial support I need, which is why I love my job."
Chu Mo nodded and said with a smile:
"Then you'll have to say a few good words for my family's hotel later."
As Chu Mo finished speaking, Du Yanyan covered her mouth in surprise for the second time.
This time she was truly astonished.
