The CEO’s little ones

Chapter 78:

Jinshui Villa was located on Zhixi Central Road of N City and was surrounded by all kinds of facilities. Coupled with the fact that housing prices had skyrocketed in recent years, this two-story courtyard villa in Hayden’s name had reached a high price of $90 million.

Hayden closed the car door, turned around and looked at the villa in front of him. He pressed the doorbell directly.

Soon, a maid-like woman in her 50s opened the door. She looked at Hayden with a puzzled face, “May I ask who you are looking for?”.

Hayden replied calmly. “Hello May I ask if you intend to sell your house?”.

“Are you someone who helps others sell a house – a real estate agent?”. The maid shook her head, “My young master won’t sell the house, I think you should go ask elsewhere.”

“Your young master, isn’t this house his?”. Hayden kept talking, “I thought it was his, I have seen that now many seniors want to sell their houses in the city, thinking of going to the countryside to live a quieter life.”

“Hahaha… If I had a house like that, how would I still be working for someone as a maid?”. The woman smiled off guard, “You really misjudged me.”

“So, what’s your young master’s name, maybe he wants to sell his house? You can leave me your contact number. Anyway, I have a little present for you.” Hayden rummaged through her purse and pulled out an unopened jar of colorful candy, “Look, here’s the present.”

The woman was pleased, “My granddaughter likes to eat this kind of candy.”noveldrama

But then she changed her mind and sighed: “But miss, I can’t tell you my master’s contact number. To be honest, my master is an actor and even if he has money, he can’t afford to buy a house here.”

The woman lowered her voice and continued, “Actually, the house is in the name of the Downey Group’s eldest daughter. She is the one who gave this house to my young master. So, it is not possible that this house can be sold to you, is it?”.

Hearing this, Hayden was surprised – was Chelsea so bold now that she dared to have a mistress?

But, even if Chelsea did, this wasn’t right. Who gave Chelsea the right to give her house to someone else?

“It’s okay.” Hayden smiled and still put the candy in the maid’s hand, “This is for you. Can you tell me which actor it is? I’m still very curious. Don’t worry, I assure you I won’t tell anyone, I just want to satisfy my curiosity.”

When the woman received the candy, she was as happy as a lark and said mysteriously, “It’s okay, he’s not very popular anyway. He always plays the subordinate male lead. His name is Marcus Lance.”

Hayden had actually never heard of this person before. He memorized the name and thanked the woman.

On the way back, she felt funny inside. Chelsea was determined to marry a wealthy, high-status man, but she secretly had a lover. If her real fiancé knew, Hayden would very much like to know what Chelsea’s and her mother’s expressions would be like.

However, this matter was not urgent. He didn’t need to move here so soon.

…

“Miss Downey, the summary of the last three months’ performance is here.”

After returning to the company from the villa, Hayden asked for a summary of the hotel’s performance. Overall, it was rather unsatisfactory, as it was still far from the figure he had agreed with Joseph.

Hayden sighed and glanced at the draw session that was written on the celebration project plan on the table. When he saw the prizes, he suddenly had new ideas.

“Jeff, show me the list of budgets from the celebration project planning. One more thing, the awards haven’t been purchased yet, have they?”.

“Not yet.”

“Well, except for the third prize, don’t buy anything else. Wait for my instructions.”

Jeff was confused. “Miss Downey, the celebration will take place next week. There are only a few days left, do you still want to revise the plan, isn’t it too late?”.

“I’ll take responsibility if anything goes wrong.” Hayden spoke directly.

Anyway, whether she won or lost, it all depended on the project. If she didn’t try her best now, would she have to wait until she was fired just to cry and beg for mercy?

That afternoon, Hayden typed ‘popular actor ranking list’ into her computer for research.

Soon the top 100 list came up.

He didn’t care if the list was true or false. He first picked out a few names that had fans with strong spending power.

As he looked at the four androgynous, overdressed young men, his eyes sparkled as if he had seen his own performance.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had gone to the villa today and knew that Chelsea spent money on supporting a young actor, he really wouldn’t have thought of this method. Now, the effect of celebrity worship was very great, so no one else could have more rallying points than the actors.

Their entire performance would depend on this.

At the International Hotel in S City, Joseph was about to go to bed. His phone beeped a notification sound and a text message popped up. He slid his finger across the message and glanced at the contents.

He called directly.

“Oh, you’re still awake.” A familiar voice came out of the phone with a tone that apparently held suppressed excitement.

“You’re texting me just to check if I’ve fallen asleep?”.

“I have something to ask you about work, but I was worried about disturbing you if I called you, so I texted you.”

“Do you want to modify the planning of the celebration project?”.

“Yes, not much modification. I’m just changing the final session part of the draw.”

“There are only a few days left, are you sure your plan can be carried out successfully?”.

“As long as you agree, I can start implementing it immediately. I can guarantee you that this plan will be much more effective in boosting consumption than the previous plan.”

“And if you fail?”

“If I fail, I will resign.”

“In principle you will resign too.” Joseph directly stated the true fact: “You’re thinking of putting all your effort into this celebration at the hotel, trying to make one last attempt to salvage a hopeless situation, aren’t you? Even if something goes wrong and causes some problems, you’re resigning anyway.”

Hayden gave a dry cough.

“I admit, I have an idea. Even if I tell you I don’t, you won’t believe me either. I do all this to improve performance, if the performance is good, I don’t need to resign and having a good performance is a good thing for the hotel. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Hayden was very clever to talk about. But, this kind of little trick that was meant to divert attention was not able to fool Joseph.

After talking so much, she was the only one who would take the risk after modifying the plan. The hotel would not suffer any loss at all, even if her plan failed.

However, he still agreed. Even he himself did not know why he agreed. He only vaguely thought to give her a legitimate reason and the opportunity to stay.

“Thank you, I’m obliged to make it right.”

“Verbal thanks mean nothing to me, how about personally inviting me to a meal when the celebration is over?”.

She agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Joseph opened the curtains. The moon was shining and this suddenly gave him the urge to rush back to N-Town.

Before going to bed, Joseph called Magnus.

“Regarding the ST Hotel celebration, call the finance department at headquarters tomorrow and ask them to add 20% capital to the original budget.”
