Golden Ocean Community was located at Middle Spring Road and near the business district, Since the housing price in Birmingham had soared in recent years, the price of Annaâs twoâstory villa in this community had risen to about ten million dollars After getting out of the taxi, Anna went to her villa and rang the doorbell, Soon, the door was opened and she saw a middleâ
aged woman who was in her fifties, The woman looked at Anna and asked in confusion, âMiss, may I ask who you are looking for?â
Anna glanced into the house and an idea came into her mind. Then she asked calmly. âExcuse me, are you going to sell this house?â
âSell the house? You are a real estate agent? My master wonât sell the house. You may ask someone else if they have the intention to sell their houses,â the woman said and shook her head.
âYour host? Isnât this your house?â Anna asked, âI heard that many old people here wanted to sell their houses in the city and moved to the countryside after they retired.â
âHaha, if only I could have such a big house. Iâm not the owner of the house. Iâm just a servant here,â the woman chuckled and said, âMay I know your masterâs phone number? Maybe he wants to sell the house. Iâll give you a small gift if you tell me how I can contact him.â Anna said as she rummaged through her handbag and took out a bottle of colorful candies. âLook, this is the gift.â
Seeing the candies, the woman was overjoyed and said, âMy granddaughter likes candies of this brand bestâ
But the next moment, she sighed. âMiss, Iâm sorry that I canât tell you my masterâs phone number. My master is an actor. But to tell you the truth, this house is not his. Although he is rich, he canât afford to buy the house here.â
Then she suddenly lowered her voice and said, âThis house is in the name of the daughter of the Gabriel family. She let my master live here.â
Hearing this, Anna was shocked.
Allie is so bold. She actually keeps an actor as her toy boy! But why does she let her toy boy live in my house?
âI see,â Anna said with a smile and put the bottle of candies into the womanâs hand. âAunt, please take it. Besides, could you tell me who your master is? Iâm curious about him. I promise Iâll keep it a secret.â
The woman accepted the candies happily and said mysteriously. âHis name is Herbert. He is not popular and always plays supporting roles in TV plays. You may have never heard of him.â
Anna indeed had never heard of this actor. She memorized his name, thanked the woman, and then left.
Chapter 78 Her Performance...
Since the villa was occupied, she had to postpone her plan to move.
On the way back home, Anna kept thinking about what Allie had done and thought that Allie was so ridiculous.
Allie always wants to marry a rich and powerful man in the upper class. She has had a rich boyfriend but still secretly keeps a toyboy. If her boyfriend knew what she had done, she will definitely come to no good end.
After leaving Golden Ocean Community, Anna went to work and asked John for a summary of the hotelâs performance since she began working here.
âMiss Gabriel, here is a summary of the hotelâs performance in the past three months,â John said.
On the whole, the hotelâs performance was below Annaâs expectations and the turnover was still far from what she had promised Wayne.
Looking at the data, Anna sighed and glanced at the plan of the centennial celebration on her desk. When she saw the prizes for the lucky draw part, she suddenly got a new idea.
âJohn, show me the budget sheet for the celebration. By the way, we havenât bought the prizes for the lucky draw, right?â she said.
âNot yet,â John answered.
âOkay. Donât buy any prizes except for those for the third prize. As for the other prizes, I have another plan.â
John was confused. âMiss Gabriel, the celebration will be held next week. Do you have to modify the plan? Iâm afraid we donât have enough time now.â
âIâll take the blame if anything goes wrong,â Anna said briefly and firmly. If she didnât fight for herself and failed to keep her promise, she would be fired soon.
At night, Anna searched the list of popular male stars on the Internet.
Soon, she saw a list called Top 100 Most Popular Male Artists.
She didnât care much about the truth of the ranking and picked some artists whose fans were willing to spend a lot of money on them.
Anna looked at the photos of the artists with her eyes shining with excitement. She could imagine the spectacular increase in the turnover of the hotel.
If she hadnât gone to Golden Ocean Community and known that Allie kept a starlet as her toy boy, she wouldnât have got a new idea about the celebration plan.
Nowadays, the fan economy drove a big part of the entertainment sector. As long as she could take advantage of it, she would definitely be able to reach her performance goal. It could be said that her performance in the following days was entirely up to it.
In Seriel International Grand Hotel.
Wayne was about to go to bed when his phone suddenly rang and the message from Anna popped up.
He read the message and called her back directly âYou... you havenât gone to bed yet?â Anna said on the other end of the line.
Chapter 78 Her Performance Hearing her voice, Wayne could feel that she was trying to suppress her excitement âYou texted me just to know whether Iâve gone to bed?â he asked in reply âI want to ask you something about work. I was afraid that it would wake you up if I called you, so I texted you,â Anna said.
âYou want to modify the planning of the celebration?â âYes, but there wonât be many changes. I just want to modify the lucky draw part.â âThereâs only less than a week before the celebration. Are you sure you can make it?â
âAs long as you approve my proposal, Iâll start to implement the new plan at once. I can guarantee that the new plan will be far more effective in stimulating consumption than the previous one,â Anna said.
âWhat if you didnât make it?â Wayne asked. âIf I failed, I would resign.â
âYou know you will be fired if you canât achieve your performance goal, so you are making every possible effort to boost the hotelâs turnover now, right?â Wayne said. He was clear about what Anna was thinking. âAnd even if you canât make it, you will be fired at most and not have to clean up the mess.â
Anna cleared her throat and said awkwardly, âI admit that what I did is for myself. But I also did it for the hotelâs performance. If my plan succeeds, I wonât be fired and the hotelâs performance will be better. Isnât it good?â
Anna was eloquent and clever but Wayne still could see through her easily. Both of them knew clearly about the risk of Annaâs plan.
However, Wayne still approved her proposal.
Actually, he did not know why he approved such a risky proposal. Maybe it was because he hoped that Anna could have an opportunity to continue to work at Carousel Hotel.
âThank you. I will try my best,â Anna said.
âItâs meaningless for me to express your gratitude verbally. How about inviting me to a meal after the celebration?â Wayne said.
Anna agreed without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Wayne drew the curtains and the bright moonlight came into the room. He suddenly wanted to go back to Birmingham very much.
Before going to bed, he called Gabe.
âTell the Finance Department of the Carousel Hotel tomorrow morning to increase twenty percent of the budget for the celebration.â
