Chapter 13
Ten minutes later…
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in. Sean, Pearl, you should come in too,” Hugh said.
After the door was opened, Jack, Sean, and Pearl entered the room together.
“Allow me to announce something. Mr. Lidell and I have reached an agreement. We’ll transfer Golden Leaf Hotel to Mr. Lidell for a fee of 20 billion dollars. Mr. Hansen, prepare to receive the deposit and draft an invoice. The transaction will be done within a week,” Hugh looked at the three of them and said.
The three of their expressions were different when they heard this news.
Jack was indifferent. He had been around Hugh for many years. Not only was he the head of financial affairs in the Golden Leaf Hotel, but he also held other jobs at other places. His workload would be reduced if Hugh sold Golden Leaf Hotel.
On the other hand, Sean’s face turned gray. He was a general manager Hugh found using a headhunting company. Even though he lost a job here, it would be easy for him to find another job. However, it would be difficult to find
one as good as this one.
Pearl was the happiest one among them. Her face was red from excitement and she looked very charming now.
Jack gave David an account and David immediately transferred 10% of the deposit, which was 2 billion, into the account. After that, he got a receipt from Jack.
After he paid the deposit, there was nothing uncertain about this transaction any more. The way Hugh looked at David was also different now.
According to Bill, if this kid could take out so much money to buy the hotel, then he must be a child from a hidden rich family. Hugh did not know much about this group. They were a little mysterious, but they were terrifyingly powerful.
If he was not at a certain level, he would not be able to get into contact with them. He also heard that these people were not just rich.
At this moment, David said, “Mr. Greene, I’m still a student so I don’t have so much time to handle the handover, so you can just go to Miss Pearl. She’ll be the general manager here from now on.”
“Mr. Hansen, execute this according to Mr. Lidell’s orders,” Hugh said to Jack.

“Okay, Mr. Greene!”
Then, Hugh turned to say to David, “Mr. Lidell, the deal is done, so we’re friends now. It makes us sound like strangers if you keep calling me Mr. Greene. My name is Hugh and I’m a few years older than you. Why don’t you just call me by my name?”
“Since you said that, then don’t call me Mr. Lidell too. Just call me Dave!’
“Haha! Okay! You’re such a straightforward person, Dave. When you come to Lake City next time, you have to give me a call so that I can entertain you.”
“Don’t worry, Hugh. I will definitely contact you when I’m in Lake City,” David said.
Wasn’t his cousin Lily from his youngest aunt’s house in university in Lake City? Perhaps he would need Hugh’s help in the future.
“Well, I won’t disturb you now. I still need to rush back to Lake City this afternoon. Dave, remember, you have to contact me if you’re in Lake City. I am pretty respected there too.”
“I will.”
After Hugh left, Jack and Sean followed him out.
Pearl stayed in the room. She knew she would need to serve this extremely young boss in front of her now.
“Miss Pearl, I’ll hand this hotel to you from now on,” David said to Pearl who stayed.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lidell. I won’t let you down. I’ll definitely manage this hotel well.”
Inside the chairman’s office in Golden Leaf Hotel.
Hugh and Sean were inside.
“Sean, the boss of this hotel is going to change soon. If you want to stay, I can talk to Dave. You can be a department manager if you can’t be a general manager.”
Sean heard that Hugh wanted him to stay as a department manager, but he could not afford to offend him. After all, the rank of a department manager and a general manager were very different. The treatment was also very different, so he said quickly, “Mr. Greene, I don’t want to work here anymore if you’re not here. I want to follow you.”
“Sean, I don’t have a suitable position for you for now. Why don’t I give you a year’s salary and you can look for another job? What do you say?”
“Mr. Greene, there are still years left for the contract we signed. You can’t abandon me like this!” Sean said, feeling a little anxious.
“Sean, I’ve already made it so clear. Why don’t you understand? Do you want me to spell it out for you? Do you think I don’t know what you’ve been doing these past years? I can keep one eye closed as long as you don’t test my limits. If I want to pursue the matter, just depending on the severity of the things you’ve done, you might have to spend eight to ten years behind bars.”
When Sean heard what Hugh said, he was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. He thought he was hiding what he did all those years well and he thought that money meant nothing to a hotel with an annual profit of a billion dollars. He did not expect the boss to find out what he did.
Sean wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “I understand, Mr. Greene. I’ll pack my things and get out of here.”
“You’ve been working for me for so many years, so you should go to Mr. Hansen and take your annual salary before leaving.”
“Thank you, Mr. Greene!”
Sean left the room after he said that.
After David left the hotel, he was about to buy a sport’s car. However, after he looked around, he saw that there was none that he liked. They were all mass-produced cars, and the slightly more expensive ones would need him to pre-order them.
Therefore, he bought a laptop and some branded clothes to change into before going back home.
As he lay on the leather sofa, he checked the system and saw that he had another 20 lavish points.
[Host: David Lidell
[Balance: 9999997892598996 dollars
[Body: 19 (Weak) +
[Mind: 28 (Normal) +
[Skills: Driving (introductory) +
[Lavish points: 20]
His body had reached 19 points and it was still weak.
His mind was still 28 points.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had an introductory driving skill on his skill column.
David added 11 lavish points to his body.
His body immediately increased to 30 points and it changed from weak to normal.
His body also began warming up.
It only cooled down after a minute.
Then, David added 6 lavish points to his mind. His mind increased from 28 to 34 points.
At that moment, his brain felt refreshed.
It seemed that he had become smarter.
After this, he added the remaining points to his driving skills.
After he did that, David felt a little sweaty. So, he went to the 28th floor and took off his clothes before jumping into the crystal clear pool.
“This is great!”
David swam a few laps in the pool and exclaimed as he lay on the side of the pool.
After he got out, he saw a huge mirror. As he walked nearer to the mirror, he saw the reflection of a person in the mirror.
“Is that me?”
David could not believe it. Even though the face in the mirror belonged to him, his body was completely different.
Even though David was handsome back then, he was thin. So, he did not look that good even though he was 180cm tall.
Right now, the person in the mirror had curves on his body and did not look thin anymore. He looked powerful.
After being stuck in a daze for a while, David came back to his senses and said, “This system is amazing!”
After he changed into his new branded clothes, David walked in front of the mirror again. The reflection in the mirror showed a top-tier handsome, nicely-built, tall, and rich man.
He would be the perfect candidate as a boy toy with that appearance.
David said pretentiously, “Gentlemen, watch your girlfriends, sisters, and aunts because daddy’s going out! Haha!”
