Chapter 1096 Deputy General Manager Su

The Yadaz Hotel was luxuriously decorated, and even though Lin Mo had been there twice before, he still felt it was quite nice.

As soon as the three entered the hotel lobby, a middle-aged man came to greet them.

"Hello boss, hello General Manager Liu, I am the hotel general manager left behind by Chairman Liu, my surname is Ding and my name is Ding Lei."

The man was thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, approaching forty. He had clearly received prior notice and, upon seeing the three enter, immediately extended his hands to Lin Mo.

After all, this is my boss. Whether I can work here again in the future is entirely up to him.

You know, he's already this age. If he quits this job, it's practically the same as being unemployed. Even if he finds another job, it'll be hard for him to earn this much. What will happen to his family's livelihood then?

"Hello, Manager Ding!" Although Lin Mo was a little unaccustomed to it and even a little flustered, he remained calm on the surface, after all, this would be his place from now on.

The reason he felt uncomfortable was entirely because he wasn't suited to this kind of interpersonal relationship and had never experienced it before.

"Alright, let's find somewhere to talk!" Liu Ruyan noticed Lin Mo's discomfort and couldn't help but speak up.

After all, she had more experience with this kind of thing than Lin Mo.

"Okay, okay, the office is ready, please follow me!" Ding Lei led the three of them into the elevator and headed straight for the office on the top floor.

Soon, the three of them sat down, and the tea was ready.

"Manager Ding, please sit down. Don't be nervous. We're just here to find out what's going on!" Liu Ruyan said.

Upon hearing this, Ding Lei glanced at Lin Mo, who also smiled and nodded. Only then did Ding Lei find a seat on the side.

"Manager Ding, were you the general manager of this hotel before?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Upon hearing this, Ding Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he felt extremely anxious. After all, this concerned whether he could stay on. Although it seemed like an inquiry, it could also be seen as an interview, and what he needed to do was to demonstrate his value.

"It's like this, Mr. Liu, boss. My previous position here was deputy general manager. The previous general manager left with Mr. Huang, and the other deputy general manager was a relative of Mr. Huang, so he also left. That left me."

"Don't worry, I've been involved in all aspects of the hotel's operations and management. Of course, my main responsibility is the hotel's operations and management, and I'm very confident in that area!" Ding Lei quickly replied.

He was demonstrating his value, and it was precisely because he was in charge of hotel operations management that he was able to stay. After all, he had no control over the hotel's logistics, procurement, and finance. Simply put, although he was the deputy general manager, he was not Huang Dayong's confidant; he was just a capable employee.

If he were in charge of logistics, procurement, and finance, even if he wanted to stay, no one would let him. After all, no one would entrust such an important department to an outsider.

His abilities lie precisely in how to ensure the hotel operates smoothly, promote it, and manage its hygiene and staffing. In short, he's skilled in making the hotel better, attracting more guests, and improving service quality. This is exactly the kind of person Lin Mo's side lacks.

To run such a large hotel well, Su He alone is definitely not enough. Not to mention that she has never done this kind of work before and is not very familiar with it, even if she had, she would still need an assistant.

Don't be fooled by how well Su He managed Lin Mo's restaurant when she came over; that was on a small scale. On such a large scale, she couldn't have managed it all by herself.

After all, no industry can afford to have an outsider giving instructions to an expert; everyone has their own area of ​​expertise!

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded, understanding what was going on, and also feeling her father's concern.

Then she nodded to Lin Mo: "Brother, this person is useful. He used to be here and has experience. We are in need of someone with experience like him."

Even in other areas, he can offer some assistance; after all, even if he doesn't get involved in other matters, he should still know how to do them.

These words weren't spoken behind Ding Lei's back; they were said so openly and brazenly. Of course, Liu Ruyan didn't care either; what was there to hide about such a thing?

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ding Lei's eyes lit up with joy. He then looked at Lin Mo, after all, Lin Mo was the real owner of the hotel and the one who could make the final decision.

“No problem, in that case, stay!” Lin Mo nodded.

"Thank you, boss, thank you, General Manager Liu. I will definitely work hard and live up to your trust in me!" Ding Lei thanked him repeatedly and began to express his loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan continued, "Then, from now on you will be the hotel's general manager, and this is the deputy general manager. Please get to know each other."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan looked at Su He and said directly.

Unlike Lin Mo's discomfort, Su He appeared much calmer, standing up to shake hands with Ding Lei: "General Manager Ding, from now on we'll be colleagues working together. My name is Su He, please take care of me!"

"Hello, General Manager Su. It's not about taking care of me. I'm just more familiar with the hotel. Let's look out for each other," Ding Lei quickly said.

He adopted a very humble attitude, after all, this person was able to come with his boss, even if he was just a deputy general manager, he was not to be underestimated, and at least not someone he could easily manipulate.

So even though Su He is a great beauty, he didn't have any thoughts about her. After all, smart people know who they can mess with and who they can't, who they can secretly trip up and who they should treat like royalty.

Now it seems that this beautiful woman in front of him is clearly the boss's confidante, someone he can't touch. Just then, Lin Mo spoke up, "Manager Ding, my cousin isn't very familiar with this kind of thing, so please help her out in this area!"

These words were tantamount to a direct endorsement, and completely dashed Ding Lei's hopes.

Before, Ding Lei considered this person as the boss's confidant, someone he couldn't touch, just a colleague or the boss's eyes and ears. But now, he sees him as a god.

"Of course, Manager Su won't interfere with your authority. It's very simple: Manager Su will manage the hotel's finances and logistics, while you, Manager Ding, will be responsible for personnel management and the hotel's operations. Any questions?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Although this statement is simple, it accurately outlines the division of authority within the hotel.

Simply put, Su He is in charge of the purse strings, ensuring that the money in the account is used where it should be and minimizing any attempts by anyone to abuse their power for personal gain.

Although such things are unavoidable, with Su He around, at least there won't be any major problems.

Ding Lei was responsible for hotel personnel management, appointment of staff, hotel planning and operation, etc. It was suggested that one of them should focus on production and the other on logistics.

Logically speaking, both sides have considerable power, and Ding Lei's side even has more power. However, Su He is the boss's confidante. Even though she is the deputy general manager, as long as she is within her authority, Ding Lei cannot overstep his authority, which can be considered a check and balance.

“No problem. I’m not good at finance or logistics anyway, so I’ll just do what I’m good at,” Ding Lei nodded quickly.

Just kidding, what can you do even if you disagree? Just agree and that's it.

"Don't worry, General Manager Ding, I'll just do what I'm supposed to do. I won't concern myself with anything else. Besides, since I'm new here and not familiar with things, I'll need General Manager Ding's help in some areas!" Su He rolled her eyes at Lin Mo, then smiled.

Lin Mo's sudden revelation of their sibling relationship made it difficult for her to carry out her work, but she was still quite confident that she could do the job well.

"Of course, of course," Ding Lei nodded repeatedly, very politely.

Soon, the four of them were in the office drinking tea while learning about the staff structure of the hotel.

"Boss, it's like this. Because we were closed for several months, many people left the hotel. Today, only two front desk staff and I are here."

In terms of staff, we generally have waiters, supervisors, department managers, directors, and the rest are me and General Manager Su.

"I can contact some people, but it's uncertain how many will come back!" Ding Lei began to report on the hotel's situation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan waved her hand directly: "You can hire the staff yourself, that's your right. I have no other requirements. Let's try to start business next week."

As for staff salaries

At this point, Liu Ruyan tapped the table with her fingers as usual, a gesture she made when thinking. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Su Su, take a look at the previous ones when you have time. The salaries of waiters and supervisors don't need to be adjusted; they can stay the same. As for the higher-level salaries, bring them back later, and we'll discuss it and see if any adjustments are needed."

“Okay, no problem,” Su He said.

This was within her job responsibilities, so it was naturally a task she needed to perform.

After saying that, Liu Ruyan stood up: "Alright, let's leave it at that for today. Manager Ding, hurry up and recruit people to get things set up. Su Su, come and help tomorrow. After all, the sooner we open, the more money your brother will save. We'll have him transfer five million to the hotel's accounts."

"That's great! You can't do anything without money!" Su He laughed.

Soon, Ding Lei put the three of them in the car, and the hotel reservation was tentatively settled.

"By the way, is five million enough? Such a big hotel?" Lin Mo asked.

After all, he had never run a hotel before, so he naturally didn't know how much it would cost.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "It certainly wouldn't work in other hotels, but all the facilities in your hotel are readily available. The only thing lacking is staff. How many can you use?"

Besides, once we open, even if the initial customer traffic is low, we'll still have daily income, and the hotel will start making money. Don't you think so, Deputy General Manager Su? Congratulations on your fortune!

Su He: →_→

"Get out of the way, bro, you need to do something about her! She's using my words!"

Lin Mo: "I understand, you're the brigade commander, I know!"

Su He:
