His goal was to attract more Fortune 500 companies.
The office building had 47 floors above ground and 5 underground.
Of those, the fifth to the second basement levels held 470 parking spaces.
The first basement level was a 700-square-meter restaurant for office workers.
The ground floor housed the main hall for the Bank of China.
The second floor was an international conference center capable of hosting large conferences and banquets.
Floors three through seven featured high-end Chinese and Western restaurants, a top-tier spa, a members-only fitness center, a sky pool, and other premium commercial facilities.
Floors 8 through 31 comprised the actual office space.
The 32nd floor served as a refuge and evacuation level.
The 33rd floor was the hotel’s sky lobby for check-in.
Floors 34 through 47 contained the hotel’s guest rooms.
Naturally, Qi Sheng couldn’t inspect every single floor.
Instead, he listened to Zhou Huaiping’s overview and made a targeted tour of the premises.
When he reached the floor with the Hoya Hotel’s executive lounge,
the hotel’s general manager, Lu Yue, hurried over to greet him.
After a round of handshakes and flattery, it was clear he wanted to continue the lease.
"President Lu, I’ll be direct.
The Hoya Hotel’s brand recognition is a bit lacking.
It doesn’t do much to help with leasing the office spaces.
Since the previous lease has already been voided, I expect you to vacate the premises as soon as possible."
Qi Sheng had already gathered some information on his way over.
The occupancy rate for Mingyu Financial Square was decent.
However, there was still a significant gap compared to the top-tier, Grade-A office buildings.
Ultimately, the hotel brand operated by the Mingyu Group itself was holding the office building back.
Now that he was the new owner of the building,
he no longer needed to do the Hoya Hotel any favors.
"President Qi, couldn’t you please give us another chance? We promise to improve our service quality, enhance our reputation, and earn the trust of both the market and you."
Lu Yue pleaded, his expression pained, hoping Qi Sheng would give them a chance.
As the hotel’s general manager, if he couldn’t renew the lease,
then he would be out of a job.
"That’s all I have to say on the matter. President Lu, please have some self-respect."
With that, Qi Sheng turned and walked toward the elevator bank.
As for Zhou Huaiping, who was walking beside Qi Sheng,
he could only shrug and sigh in response to Lu Yue’s pleading gaze, a silent indication that he was powerless to help.
Previously, both men had been under the Mingyu Group, and they had a reasonably good working relationship.
But now, with his own job on the line, he didn’t have the luxury of worrying about whether Lu Yue survived.
"Damn it! Have the execs at the parent company lost their minds? What the hell is this?!"
Once Lu Yue saw that Qi Sheng and Zhou Huaiping had left the floor, he couldn’t stop himself from cursing the top brass at the parent company.
’He’d been doing just fine as the hotel’s general manager.
But who could have predicted such a sudden turn of events?
The prosperous Mingyu Financial Square had actually been sold off.
Selling the building was one thing, but the parent company had even declared the Hoya Hotel’s lease null and void.
