In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Although she agreed to Wilda's weekend racing appointment, Fu Ziyan was actually not that free.

When she was in Hong Kong, she had promised her father that she would join the company and independently manage a project within the next six months. Between Fu's Industrial's UK branch and several companies owned by her father, Fu Ziyan finally chose the Yuanxi Hotel.

During last year's oil crisis, her father had bought the 300-year-old Brande Manor for £960,000, and had it transformed into a luxurious manor-style hotel. She'd thought the castle-to-hotel concept sounded intriguing, and she'd spent a few days following the project's selection process.

Now that the hotel renovation is basically completed, and seeing that Titi is still interested in this project, Fu Qiyuan simply delegated power and completely handed over the project team to his daughter, allowing her to do her best.

Fu Ziyan flipped through some of the information on the manor's renovation and told her assistant in the UK: "Yvonne, I'll go to Brand Manor tomorrow to take a look."

"Okay, miss, I'll arrange the helicopter." Brand Manor is located in Gloucestershire, 150 kilometers away from the castle manor where they are currently located, and can be reached by helicopter in one hour.

A helicopter's convenience over a private jet lies in route registration. While private jets require a minimum of 24 hours' advance notice for each flight, helicopters only need to register for their intended routes once a year, allowing them to fly whenever they choose. Ever since receiving a helicopter as a gift from her grandfather on her birthday, she's registered for every possible route she might take, including the one to Brand Manor.

Hidden within a lush forest and surrounded by lakes, Brand Manor is home to numerous small wildlife species. Originally a rural retreat, Fu Ziyan preserved its natural beauty, imbuing it with a rustic charm. Meanwhile, she renovated and upgraded the rooms within the castle, making them luxurious yet refined, yet warm and inviting, befitting the resort-style manor hotel.

When Fu Ziyan got off the helicopter, she saw her team members lined up waiting for her.

"Good morning, Miss Fu."

Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "Good morning, you guys go and do your work, I'll go around and see how the manor is being renovated, and then I'll talk to you later."

The team members left quietly, ending the welcome ceremony. Only David, the person in charge of the manor renovation project, remained on the scene.

Fu Ziyan turned her head to look at David, her expression calm and serious. The reason was simple: David had the face of a typical headmaster.

He walked forward with a serious expression, following Fu Ziyan's side, and reported as he walked along the path Fu Ziyan had been inspecting: "Selene, the renovation of the manor is basically complete. We hired a professional agency to inspect the castle structure and strengthen it to ensure its safety. Without damaging the architectural style, we installed an elevator and modernized the electricity, water pipes and heating... In addition, we completed the garden restoration and added a parking lot and a helipad..."

Woods, farmland, lakes, swans, hares...

The breeze in late summer and early autumn blew by, and the bangs on the sides of my ears swayed.

Frankly speaking, this manor hotel is well-maintained and really gives you the feeling of embracing nature. At least Fu Ziyan would be willing to stay here and relax for a while after suffering from the pressure of study and work.

Walking along the road, Fu Ziyan looked at the magnificent purple and green scenery not far away and felt a little happy: "Is that a vineyard?"

David nodded. "Yes, the ecological vineyard area allows guests to experience the process of picking grapes and making wine. We grow high-quality grapes. Selene, would you like to try it?"

Letting the boss actually experience it can increase his satisfaction.

Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "I am indeed a little interested in picking grapes, but let's finish the business first. You can continue to talk about the renovation."

David had been thinking about asking his assistant to prepare some beautiful small baskets for Miss Fu, but he continued to report with the same seriousness as before: "In this regard, we have added..."

David gave a detailed introduction, and Fu Ziyan listened attentively, occasionally raising questions and making suggestions. By the time she had walked around and returned to the main building, she had a good understanding of the various parts of the renovated manor hotel.

"Then next," she smiled and spoke clearly, "David, thank you for gathering the team. Let's discuss this."

Although Miss Fu's visit to inspect the hotel's progress had been announced yesterday, not everyone was like David. While Fu Ziyan had discussed the hotel's renovation plans with them several times, most team members were meeting Miss Fu, their new boss, for the first time. To say they weren't nervous would be a lie.

Who doesn't know that a new official has three major things to do when he takes office? Of course, Miss Fu is not a "new official"; she was originally a small boss, and now she is the boss who can directly decide whether they stay or go.

Without knowing the personality of Miss Fu, the former eldest daughter and now the boss, no one dares to touch the tiger's whiskers and run into a bullet hole.

Fu Ziyan didn't set any rules or establish her authority. As soon as she entered the meeting room, she got down to business with incredible efficiency: "Aside from a few minor issues that need to be corrected, the hotel renovations are basically complete. After undergoing acceptance and re-inspection by the relevant departments, the hotel can open. Therefore, you should begin preparing for staff training and trial operations."

"We need to focus on standardizing service levels during staff training. We can offer high industry salaries to frontline staff, but we must ensure they feel at home. Furthermore," Fu Ziyan said, tapping the table. "It's crucial to practice emergency plans. We don't want anything to happen to guests in our hotel. If something does happen, the hotel management must resolve it immediately."

"What are your thoughts on incorporating the estate's history into branding?"

"Our hotel is positioned as a resort hotel. I will be collaborating with a local British travel company, so I need a collaborative plan. The planning department should produce one for me as soon as possible. I also need a trial operation plan and pricing and promotion plans."

"Regarding matters like manpower scheduling and supply chain logistics, you guys should handle them yourselves. I just want to see the final plan."

"..."

The meeting was very lively without any nonsense, which shows how efficient it was.

At the end of the meeting, Fu Ziyan stood up and smiled. The room was quiet, the click of her pen cap closing audible. "It's been very busy at the beginning of the new store opening. Thank you all for your hard work. In return, your bonuses will be substantial."

After the meeting, the experienced workplace veteran finally had time to mention to his colleagues that this newly arrived boss, a wealthy woman, hadn't followed procedures, established rules, or established authority. Their eyes met, both filled with confusion.

The rookie, whose first job was this project, looked at the experienced "senior" with confused eyes and asked from the bottom of his heart, "But Ms. Fu is the boss of this project. She doesn't need to establish her authority at all. No one dares to question or refute her ideas."

Yes!

It's the employees who need to establish their authority; the real boss possesses power itself. If she's dissatisfied with an employee, she can fire them with a single word. Who wouldn't consider her a boss just because she hasn't established her authority?

The two veterans smiled helplessly. They were really trapped by the stereotype. But they couldn't blame them. After all, they had faced a worker's superior before, and now this person was the real boss.
