[Chapter 14]
In the evening, David walked into the Golden Leaf Hotel with his head high.
"Hello, Mr. Lidell!"
"Hello, Mr. Lidell!"
Four beautiful attendants at the door greeted Lidell with admiration in their eyes.
The news about David becoming their boss had spread throughout the hotel. Pearl had started handling the affairs of a general manager and the previous general manager Sean had already left.
After David entered the hall, the four attendants started discussing among themselves.
"Mr. Lidell is so young and handsome!"
"Yes! He's so handsome and rich! He's the man of my dreams that I've been waiting for!"
"Mr. Lidell won't fall for you!"
"How do you know? What if I'm his cup of tea?"
"Tch, Mr. Lidell's cup of tea is Ms. Warner."
"Don't you know that you'll get bored eating the same food? If Mr. Lidell wants a change of taste, then our time will come."
David did not hear the discussion behind him. After he walked into the lobby, Pearl came to him.
"Miss Pearl, why are you still here? Didn't I promote you to the general manager? Did you not go to the handover?" David asked curiously.
"Mr. Lidell, I've taken all the affairs of the general manager. I am here to greet you. Also, this is your driver's license."
Pearl handed David a small booklet.
"Thanks, Miss Pearl. You should get on with your job. I'll leave after I'm finished. Right, may I know if your friend and her husband are free? I want to buy them a meal to thank
them."
"Alright, I'll ask them. I'm a little busy now and I don't know a lot of things. I won't accompany you then, M. r. Lidell."
Pearl asked a receptionist from the front desk to take David to dinner before leaving.
"Mr. Lidell, please come with me," the receptionist said respectfully to him.
"I know the way. You don't need to take me."
"Mr. Lidell, we changed your room today, so just let me lead the way," the receptionist said.
"A new room? Why?" David asked.
"Mr. Lidell, you were the VIP yesterday so you were using Private Room 3, but you're the chairman now and the chairman eats in Private Room 1," the receptionist explained.
"Alright! Lead the way." David did not quibble over this anymore.
After dinner, David drove around River City. Even though it was almost dark, River City was a city that never slept. A lot of shops would close at 12 but David still did not find the sports car he liked. After he asked around, he found out that the limited edition sport's cars would be sold out the moment they were released.
So, they would not end up in dealerships. They were only available in some high-end dealerships and the price would be marked up.
After David thought about it, he figured that only person who would have connections about this was the e x-boss of Golden Leaf Hotel, Hugh.
So, he gave Hugh a call.
Hugh picked up the call very quickly.
"Dave, you're already in Lake City?" Hugh's voice could be heard through the phone.
"Hugh, I'm still in River City. However, I need your help with something. I want to buy a limited-edition sports car. Do you have any connections for that?" David asked.
"You like collecting limited edition sport's cars too, Dave?"
"Hugh, which man doesn't like cars?"
"Haha. You're right. You're asking the right person. I just opened a dealership with my friends and we specialize in selling second-hand cars."
Hugh did indeed open a dealership with his friends, but his dealership only sold high-end cars and they would not even look at cars that were below ten million.
"That's great. Can you help me check for some that are suitable for me?"
"Dave, I have a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron that was released 3 years ago. There are only 8 in the world and the market price back then was 60 million. However, since it's limited, the price has hiked a little and it's around 80 million now. What do you think?"
"Alright, do you have any photos? Can you send me some so I can check it out?"
"Okay, I'll send them to you later. I think it suits you very well. If you drive this car into SRU, you'll definitely look cool as hell."
"Haha! Hugh, you know me so well. I'll transfer the money to you now."
"Are you coming to Lake City to get it, or do you want me to send it to you?"
"I'll go get it on Labor Day. I have some business in Lake City during Labor Day anyway." David said.
He was going to visit his cousin Lily on Labor Day. While he was at it, he would let her experience the upper-class lifestyle. He could not explain so many things in detail over the phone.
David immediately transferred 80 million to Hugh because right now, money was just a number to him.
