If he leaves, the hotel’s restaurant quality will surely drop a level, which would be very detrimental to the hotel’s development. So Brother Ye, please don’t get emotional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, a faint smile appeared on Wei Xian’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had sold the hotel, Wei Xian still felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen get embarrassed as soon as he took office made him feel very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen now understood why Dai Lili became the lobby manager and why she could act so recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But would Ye Chen back down because of one head chef?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen understood, although Dai Ming’s culinary skills were excellent, today was his first day at the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his orders couldn’t be enforced from the start, then taking control of the hotel in the future would be very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Dai Lili must be fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Dai Ming, if he chooses to stay, that’s great. If he insists on leaving, Ye Chen won’t force him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he has already activated the system’s headhunting feature; he could recruit any type of talent he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ye Chen said, \"President Wei, no need to persuade me. This person must be fired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Lili’s smile disappeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, no matter what mistakes she made, mentioning her dad’s name could easily smooth things over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, her dad’s name surprisingly doesn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Ye, my father is the hotel’s head chef. Have you considered the consequences of firing me?\" Dai Lili said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen replied coldly, \"I’ll give you a chance to leave on your own, or else I’ll have security throw you out, which won’t look very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Lili never thought that her protective charm would stop working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stomped her foot and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian was also stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected this young man’s methods to be so ruthless, firing the head chef’s daughter as soon as he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wei Xian was very pleased, the fame of the hotel’s restaurant was majorly due to Chef Dai Ming’s culinary skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant had already been controversial due to the cockroach incident, and if Dai Ming leaves, it would be hard for the restaurant to regain its popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled, \"President Wei, thank you for your efforts. Our handover is almost complete. Rest assured, with the hotel in my hands, I will definitely make it a top-tier hotel in Modu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Ye Chen’s confident demeanor, Wei Xian found it quite amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man is too naïve; managing a hotel isn’t that easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit came walking quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian introduced, \"Brother Ye, this is the hotel’s manager, Bai Tang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tang slightly bowed, \"Hello, Chairman Ye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded, the system rated this middle-aged man as a gold-level manager, indicating some capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the management was chaotic, mainly because of Wei Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Bai Tang, the hotel would’ve collapsed long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed, \"President Bai, do your best from now on. I’ll entrust the hotel’s management entirely to you and won’t interfere with any of your decisions. I’ll give you a year to make the hotel a top-tier establishment in Modu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Bai Tang was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tang graduated from Norton University in M Country, majoring in management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had many aspirations, but every time he proposed his opinions to Wei Xian, they were rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Bai Tang very frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new boss, as soon as he arrived, he fired Dai Lili, whom Bai Tang disliked the most, further impressing him with this new boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"President Bai, gather the staff for a meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tang nodded and immediately notified the hotel staff for a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel had over a hundred employees, but to Ye Chen’s surprise, the crowd included only one person wearing a chef’s uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen furrowed his brows, \"The kitchen staff isn’t here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tang said awkwardly, \"Deputy Chef said the hotel has few guests now, so he took the apprentices to another event.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apprentices?\" Ye Chen was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tang said awkwardly, \"The kitchen staff are all Deputy Chef’s apprentices, so he took them away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that Dai Ming has become a tyrant in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can take the staff away whenever he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t even need to ask for leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian said awkwardly, \"Well, Old Dai talked to me about it, so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen waved his hand, \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ye Chen was considering keeping Dai Ming, but now it seems he cannot be retained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting started, first Wei Xian spoke, announcing that Ye Chen was the hotel’s new owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were some pleasantries about how tough it is to start a hotel and hoping everyone continues to work hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by Ye Chen’s speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, President Wei already introduced me. I won’t say much, I know the hotel is facing some difficulties now, but I assure you these difficulties will soon be resolved. I hope you all work together, as long as you follow me earnestly, I won’t mistreat any of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience applauded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with a new boss, they felt anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with Ye Chen firing the head chef’s daughter right away, it made them quite apprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen smiling, he seemed very approachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next second, Ye Chen’s expression turned icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"External issues, I will resolve them, but internal problems within the hotel are equally serious. President Bai, I trust you’re most aware of the hotel’s issues. Clear out what needs clearing, keep those who are capable, and let those just muddling through leave. Severance pay will be full, I can assure everyone that as long as you work hard, within a year, I can double everyone’s salary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone was slightly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say Ye Chen used both reward and punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the current hotel atmosphere isn’t good; many people are just here to take money while doing little. But now, it seems it isn’t so easy to slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Chen’s announcement about doubling salaries made everyone excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen aimed for this feeling, he wanted everyone to understand, he was different from Wei Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting, Bai Tang took Ye Chen on a tour around the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, Wei Xian had indeed put a lot of effort into the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hotel was fully equipped with high-end versions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel facilities were complete, even the luxury level surprised Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Wei Xian wasn’t lying; he truly spent a lot on this hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, noises came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man in a white chef’s uniform strode in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see who dares to fire my daughter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-03T08:12:50.638Z","2026-06-03T08:12:53.523Z",1,"novelbin.me","8267e1126bac8d64c00a718f210794fc3d245e1f353703b72c4629f5d197d396","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-512","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-510",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
