Chapter 133: The Deadline Was Waiting One Month away
The managers were leaving -- such a news was spreading and the whole hotel was on edge.
So many department managers were teaming up to leave. The Violet Hotel couldn’t stand here anymore. It’s closing down!
In the office.
Stacy Lawson, Yvonne’s secretary, handed over these resignation letters to her with concern.
"Miss Taylor, take a look please.
"So many department managers are leaving... Why don’t you have another meeting with them later to appease them and make them stay?"
Yvonne was wearing a pair of glasses for reading it.
She just took over the Violet Hotel and had already reviewed a great deal of information on the hotel’s operations, including financial statements, in the past two weeks. Even though she finished everything, she was still thirsty for this kind of knowledge.
After she observing her own hotel, she also searched success stories from hotels around the world.
She didn’t majored Hotel Management, but she found that it was the same thing to run a business and to run a company.
In addition, she had the ability to forget nothing in this brand -new life, and after more than two weeks of inculcation, she had already formed a system about hotel management in her mind.
So those plans that were presented at the morning meeting weren’t her bragging, but her faith and confidence!
"Miss Taylor, should I contact the department managers now?"
Yvonne waved her hand, "No.
"If they want to go, it’s okay, the last thing we had at the Violet Hotel is people."
Stacy was confused.
Why?
What did it mean?
"But Miss Taylor ... our hotel has been unable to recruit people for two years in a row... everyone is suspicious of our prospects and refuses to come.
"If those managers just leave, I’m afraid that..."
"What?"
Stacy blinked, not daring to say those four words.
Yvonne took off her glasses and placed them on the table, crossing her legs.
"Don’t worry, it won’t go out of business.
"If I say I’m confident, I surely am. And if they don’t want to stay, just tell them to get out of there."
Stacy didn’t know what to say. She disagreed it completely but there is no way to say "no" to her boss.

The news that Yvonne wasn’t going to detain them spread to all departments immediately.
Several managers were terribly shocked.
She’s acting as nothing was wrong when seven or eight managers would leave?
Why this woman was so confident?
"Fine!"
One manager was indignant, "Since she doesn’t need us, we won’t stay here anymore!
"I’d like to see how the Violet survives this week without us!
"Let’s go!"
Then, these managers really left together.
Other bottom-tier employees were going to crazy.
The managers were gone. They were all rich men!
Their savings could support their life even they quit the job.
But the they, as a common pool employee, couldn’t leave that easily like the managers. What they were able to do was that they do their bad work as usual and try to find a new job meanwhile.
The hotel was closing down anyway, they had to find a way out.
On the other hand, the Violet’s competitors were laughing at it.
"She wanted to redecorate after all this loss and shit?
"Zachary was a wise business man, but his wife was a totally stupid woman? Really?" they thought.
They believed that the Violet would be the worst one forever even if their performance was not good for the shit economy. Anyway, the Violet was going to
collapsed, it’s an honor for it to become the shield to shield them from blame.
With such pressure, Yvonne still fired all these managers.
For all the manager had gone, there was no one could take over their work for a while, so Yvonne did them by herself.
Soon, a month passed.
This month, Yvonne had to do all the jobs that the left staffs used to manage.
Meanwhile, she worked around the clock to renovate the hotel, and there were only two or three hours of sleep for her almost every day.
Zachary was so distressed that he tried to force her to rest several times, but she disagreed and said she would move out if he affected her job any more.
...
Only then did Zachary stop forcing her to take a rest.
Finally, this hard month had passed.
The entire hotel still didn’t look much different from the outside of the building, after all, time was limited and it’s impossible to push down the whole building and rebuild it.
But inside the hotel, it’s all been renovated and all changed.
Mr. Walter, one of the seven or eight managers who left together in the first place.
This day, he came to the Violet Hotel to do the final formalities for leaving this place, by the way, to see if this dying hotel was now dead, to gloat, and then he would tell other managers who were once fired together by Yvonne to see such a funny joke.
However, once he entered the door and saw the brand-new Violet Hotel, he was stunned by it!
The doormen had all become sexy beauties!
Did he entered the wrong hotel?
The hot girls were no longer wearing antique suits, but hot beach dresses; those concierges to take luggage were no longer fat pigs like before, but handsome enough to make people suspect that if they were come from Frobnia, Irania or Karovia, each of whom smiled especially polite, a group of female guests lined up for their autographs and photos.
The entire lobby was packed and the check-in area was as crowded as a long line for getting in the Wonderland of Disney!
He’d worked in the Violet for over a decade and had never seen so many people in this lobby!
Yvonne did turn the whole hotel around.
The original shabby old hotel interior had gone and changed by techy-dark style.
What’s more, the whole hotel was not golden but dark and shining, just like the center of the city’s wonderful nightlife!
The cool lights were shining. Then he found the original marble floor was changed to glowing catwalk!
The violinists and pianists who were originally hired at great expense were also driven away, and the elegant music was replaced with stylish and dynamic catwalk music, which was so dynamic that it almost made people feel like they had come to a nightclub in daylight!
At first, Yvonne looked through all the cases and thought a lot.
Eventually, she decided to rejuvenate the whole hotel, then she chose the nightclub style.
The managers left?
That’s fine.
She knew so many great seniors at Zandia University who were majored in Management!
These seniors were so advanced in the management philosophy and so full of passion, so she offered them triple the salary to make them here!
They were more efficient than those old men!
The staff was going to leave?
It didn’t matter. Yvonne actually thought that they were too old-fashioned!
As a former Club Queen, she knew too many of those who had pretty face but had nothing else to do.
The most people in the bars were guys and gals without jobs.
Most of these good-looking guys and gals used to be hired by bars to liven up the atmosphere.
They were the people called escorts.
Including foreign dudes who couldn’t find work in Angria.
Therefore, Yvonne immediately found someone to contact and picked out a large group of good candidates.
They used to be servant escorts at the bar, and they all as perfect as the plastic surgery models, even their service was super good!
They came to here because that bar work was unstable and they were not that young and attractive, after many years at bars, these persons was losing their glory and couldn’t win the younger ones.
So, they were worried about money and wanted to get a job now!
...
They also faced the anxiety of losing their jobs.
Therefore, Yvonne simply got them to be doormen in the Violet Hotel.
Although they should do some manual jobs as a doormen, they were happy for that they had a real stable job.
Most of them had lack of qualifications and quit their study since they were just kids, now it’s hard for them to find a fine job in this changed society.
Without the work of bars, they had no place to go and nothing to do.
So, what an ideal place the Violet Hotel was!
It even support them a good salary!
And it was nice to tell people that they worked in a hotel but a bar!
See! Working for a five-star hotel! How decent!
Therefore, they all came to the Violet Hotel and worked as doormen and servants.
Those people who came to the Violet took a look and was shocked thoroughly!
Was this a hotel or a fashion show in Miranda the motherland of fashion style?
There were so much handsome men! Girls were about to be knocked down!
Even the rich women were going to be unconscious for those perfect men.
They immediately wrote down positive comments for this hotels.
And then, most of them extended their stays.
All in all, the Violet Hotel got an amazing performance since Yvonne took it over.
*
At the Lord Villa.
The first month that Yvonne took over the hotel, her performance was extremely great.
To be honest, everyone had thought that the Violet Hotel was over this time.
However, she changed the entire plan for running this hotel.
Now, the Violet Hotel was the most popular hotel plus entertainment place around all the youngsters in Hiltonan, and its rooms was always not enough for the running guests.
But, although it got a great profit, Yvonne still couldn’t cover the deficit, because she did renewed decoration and hire so many beauties and handsome guys with a big amount of money.
It’s almost time to meet the deadline her dad set in the first place.
At the beginning, Frank asked her to turn around and get profit in a month!
But now, it’s almost time for the monthly pay.
Although the performance was nice, it was still a long way from "profitability".
Yvonne was thinking hard.
With only a few days left, would she be able to accomplish what her dad expected of her?
Zachary understood her worry and reassured her.
"Your dad was just trying to Stretch your ability, and now that you’ve shocked the industry and done better than even we expected, your dad must be satisfied.
"It’s really okay if you didn’t finish it totally.
"Don’t worry about it."
However, Yvonne shook her head, "Since I promised to do it in the first place, I still want to finish what I had promised."
Otherwise, there would be regrets in her heart.
So Yvonne didn’t go to sleep and think about it overnight.
She thought and thought, finally, she found a good way to finish it.
The next day, a news that "The Violet Hotel Sells Room Vouchers at 50% off" became the top line of the search.
The strategy that Yvonne finally came up with last night was to have a room pre-sale!
To put it bluntly, it’s a way to get someone to pay for a room before the empty room had been prepared. The guests could hold it for their future check-in!
So she had the programmers renovated the hotel’s official website overnight, and had the Finance department ran a careful financial budget. Eventually, they ran a pre-sale the next day.
Was there no room for people to check-in now?
That’s okay, people could buy a 50% off room voucher online now, for a room that would have cost 300 dollars, people could buy a voucher online by 150 dollars. In the future, they could check in with that voucher.
Actually, the Violet Hotel was popular lately and there were so many people couldn’t get a room, guests were all complained about it.
Therefore, when the pre-sale came out, thousands of room vouchers were sold in a few hours.
The money ran into the hotel’s general account, and the turnover skyrocketed,
reaching her dad’s target within a day
