Chapter 179: Reflections of the Mistress of the Lin Family in Modu_3
This was the first time in over a decade that she had voluntarily stopped her morning jog.
After swiftly brushing her teeth and washing up, she hurriedly ate breakfast. Within five minutes, she applied a light makeup to slightly conceal her dark circles before she took off from the villa on Greenery Avenue.
Her first stop was Tianxiang Garden. In the past, she usually worked at Bafang International and handled many affairs there, but for the past couple of days, she had been staying almost permanently at Tianxiang Garden.
Upon arriving at the hotel, because Tianxiang Garden had already ceased operations, there were no longer any guests coming and going, making it exceptionally quiet.
However, when Qin Zixuan got out of the car, more than a dozen hotel executives immediately approached to greet her, while at that moment, Zhan Bingxue, who had no mood for pleasantries, had a piercing gaze.
Her eyes continuously scrutinized the entire entrance of Tianxiang Garden, from every cluster of foliage to every pathway. If she was dissatisfied with anything, she would immediately give orders for rectification.
Naturally, wherever she walked, everyone appeared extremely nervous.
The morning sun had just risen not long ago, and accompanied by a dozen hotel executives, Zhan Bingxue stepped into the first-floor lobby of Tianxiang Garden.
Every detail here had been cleaned until spotless, even the crystal chandelier above their heads, priced at 800,000 RMB, had just been installed yesterday.
Her long, slender, phoenix eyes continuously surveyed the entire hall. This was the first place guests would see, and the impression Tianxiang Garden left on its guests depended greatly on what they saw here, so this lobby was the focal point of Zhan Bingxue's inspection.
She looked around, from the antique vase in the corner to the crystal chandelier overhead, from the rows of cheongsam-clad greeters at the door to the four receptionists opposite. Wherever her gaze fell, people would slightly lower their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
After a moment, Zhan Bingxue, standing in the middle of the lobby, spoke coldly:
"Replace the eight greeters at the door. Go to the eighty-sixth floor of Tianxiang Garden and call for eight female attendants, requiring a height above one meter seventy, and their looks and figures cannot be lower than ninety points. Have them act as the greeters.
Today, train them in etiquette all day long. After training is complete, have them stand at the entrance of the lobby as greeters first thing tomorrow.
They will receive a daily allowance of 100,000 RMB each. If they mess up, they will be dismissed at once, and banned from all hotels in the entire Magic City."
Her voice was cold, carrying an unquestionable authority, and immediately one of the deputy directors stepped forward and agreed:
"Chairwoman, I will see to it right away."
As soon as his words ended, this deputy director did not linger and directly led an assistant towards the eight cheongsam-clad greeters at the door.
The front desk and the greeters were all under the jurisdiction of this deputy director, and if this were to fail, his career as deputy director would essentially be over.
Zhan Bingxue turned on her heel and headed straight for the private elevator, where her secretary promptly pressed the button. Shortly after, a group of about a dozen executives took the elevator away.
It was not until then that everyone in the lobby, including the four receptionists with looks over ninety points and the dozen service staff in the corners, collectively sighed with relief.
Before long, the private elevator arrived at the eighty-sixth floor's top-tier club.
Above the eighty-sixth floor, it was no longer an ordinary hotel. Here, they only served the top tycoons of Magic City, and now, with Tianxiang Garden shut down for rectification, this place too had ceased all service.
When Zhan Bingxue, with the hotel executives in tow, set foot in this lush garden-like hall, she saw Lin Ling'er, the young miss from one of Magic City's top four noble families, the Lin family, instructing the female attendants.
This floor showcased a garden theme, surrounded by birdsong and floral scents, with around a dozen uniquely designed wooden cottages, each representing the visit by a super-wealthy individual worth over a hundred billion.
The eighty-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden had thirty-five carefully selected female attendants, each with an average look score above ninety, the kind of goddesses who walked down the streets that would get people trying to talk to them, turning heads ninety percent of the time.
Lady Lin Ling'er was the person in charge here. Even though Zhan Bingxue was the chairwoman of Tianxiang Garden, in this place, she could not disregard the face of the Magic City Lin family.
Her eyes scanned the entire hall. The garden-themed eighty-sixth floor comprised three connected levels with vast space and beautiful scenery. This location might receive esteemed guests, which left no room for her to be negligent.
After scanning the entire hall and seeing nothing that required her attention, Zhan Bingxue was about to leave when the person in charge, Lin Ling'er, suddenly spoke:
"Miss Zhan, please wait."
The Lin Corporation, controlled by the Lin family of Magic City, was immensely vast. Even among the top four noble families, the Lin family had the most assets, and as the favorite young miss of the family, Zhan Bingxue was not keen on offending such an entity.
She halted, waiting for the young Lady Lin to approach. She gestured for the executives to back away, then spoke in a neutral tone:
"Miss Lin, I understand that the hotel's closure will impact the club, but it is necessary. The big boss personally instructed this. Even if it causes dissatisfaction among some of our top members, it's a sacrifice we're willing to make."
At thirty-one, Lin Ling'er was already at an age considered ideal for marriage. However, the young miss of the Lin family, having been hurt in love early on, vowed never to marry in this life and thus stayed with her family.
The current Family Head of the Lin family was her own brother, meaning, aside from the Family Head, she was the second most powerful person in the Lin family. Even the Lin family's heir, the eldest son, would yield three points in the presence of his younger aunt.
