Chapter 375 - 198: Now This Is What You Call Life

Changi Airport, beneath the jet bridge.

Shi Fulai, the CEO of the Banyan Tree Group, was there to greet them with several senior executives.

A private jet, all white and emblazoned with the words "Global 7500," slowly touched down.

Shi Fulai’s spirits lifted, and he turned to remind the other executives.

"The plane is about to come to a stop. Everyone get ready."

Shi Fulai smoothed the wrinkles on his suit and strode toward the aircraft.

Inside the plane, Qi Sheng let out a long sigh of relief as they finally landed safely in Singapore.

Flying at an altitude of over ten thousand meters was nothing like being on land or sea.

If something went wrong, the chances of survival were practically zero.

"Honey, are those people over there your company’s employees?"

Tan Hua asked curiously, looking out at the group of corporate elites dressed in sharp suits.

"Yes. Let’s head down."

Qi Sheng nodded with a smile.

The airstairs lowered, and Qi Sheng and his girlfriends gradually disembarked.

"Boss, welcome to Singapore. I’m Shi Fulai, and these gentlemen are..."

Shi Fulai bowed respectfully and quickly began introducing the executives behind him to Qi Sheng.

"Good evening, Boss!"

The other executives also wore incredibly sincere smiles, but inwardly, they felt a little uneasy.

Aside from the two vice presidents Qi Sheng had personally appointed to manage HR and finance, the others had no idea when their positions might be replaced.

"Let’s talk at the hotel."

Noticing that a number of people had started taking pictures and gathering to watch, Qi Sheng waved his hand at Shi Fulai.

"Of course. This way, please. I’ve arranged everything at the hotel. If you and the ladies would follow me."

Shi Fulai glanced at the large group of beautiful women.

Even to his foreign eyes, their beauty was stunning.

Beneath a nearby jet bridge, a full ten Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans were lined up, their hazard lights flashing in unison.

With a gesture from Shi Fulai, the drivers waiting by the cars all trotted over.

They retrieved the women’s luggage from the cargo hold and placed it in the trunks of the cars.

It was a good thing Shi Fulai had arranged for so many cars.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to fit all the luggage.

After leaving the airport, Qi Sheng took a seat in the lead Maybach.

Shi Fulai sat in the front passenger seat, turning sideways to introduce the local culture and customs of Singapore to Qi Sheng.

Singapore is a city-state, where the city itself is the entire nation.

It has no provincial or municipal divisions.

Instead, the country is divided into five communities and 28 postal districts.

Qi Sheng chatted at length with Shi Fulai, facing no language barriers whatsoever.

With his Master-Level English proficiency, even writing a book would be no problem for him.

"Boss, our group doesn’t actually operate any hotels in Singapore."

"Establishing the group headquarters in Singapore was a move by the He Clan, to make it easier for their family to manage."

Shi Fulai explained with some embarrassment, though it wasn’t really his fault.

"What are your thoughts on a location for the group headquarters?"

Qi Sheng smiled, feeling reasonably satisfied with his group’s CEO.

From the Chinese New Year until now, the Banyan Tree Group had been stable overall, meeting his expectations.

In both hotel and corporate management, Shi Fulai possessed Expert-Level abilities.

He was a rare talent.

Unfortunately for him, Qi Sheng had a more suitable candidate in mind.

The Master-level Talent Recruitment Card that he had been reluctant to use, he had finally used it just before getting off the plane.

Although Shi Fulai’s abilities were quite good, compared to the talent provided by the system, he was far behind not only in loyalty but also in capability.

"Personally, I believe relocating the group headquarters to China would be very appropriate. As for the specific location, that is for you to decide."

Shi Fulai was quick to state his position.

No matter where the headquarters moved, he would support it wholeheartedly.

"Yes, Singapore is nice, but its potential for growth is limited. It can’t compare to China’s vast territory and abundant resources."

Qi Sheng had no intention of hiding his plans from Shi Fulai.

He had come this time to assess the abilities of the executive team.

He planned to fire some, promote others, and inject some new blood into the Banyan Tree Group.

"I personally agree with your view completely. However, some employees may not want to leave Singapore. I will do my best to persuade them."

Shi Fulai knew that several senior executives were die-hard loyalists of the He Clan.

Even after the group changed ownership, they still clung to the dream of the He Clan making a comeback.

Shi Fulai was very clear-headed and knew exactly where his loyalties should lie.

He was firmly on the new boss’s side.

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded at Shi Fulai.

’This foreigner’s loyalty score is pretty good, around 70 or so.’

’Of course, it’s no match for the talent provided by the system.’

’But it’s still better than those fellows with loyalty scores below 50.’

’I don’t want to see that kind of trash for a single minute longer.’

As for cleaning out these senior executives, Qi Sheng would leave that task to the incoming Chen Ye.

With him as the sole shareholder, this so-called senior management team couldn’t stir up any trouble.

...

The convoy arrived at Sentosa Island, located in postal district 4.

This was also one of Singapore’s most famous resort destinations.

Universal Studios, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Madame Tussauds, the Skyline Luge, Tanjong Beach, Palawan Beach...

If you wanted to have the most fun in Singapore, staying on Sentosa Island was definitely the most convenient choice.

And the best resort hotel on Sentosa Island was, without a doubt, the Capella.

First, the wedding of Singapore’s beloved songstress, Sun Yanzi, caused a sensation across Asia. Later, it hosted a historic summit that stunned the entire world.

This otherwise low-key Capella Hotel instantly became the top choice for countless high-net-worth tourists.

As the convoy arrived at the Capella Hotel, doormen and staff members rushed out to welcome them.

"Welcome, Mr. Qi and ladies, to the Capella Hotel. I am Wu Guangyao, the general manager of the Capella Hotel. Thank you very much for choosing us."
