One Night Surprise Chapter 79Chapter 79 I Can’t Believe You Remember Me
The centennial celebration of Sunhill Hotel was still three days away, and the popular young hunk,
Austin Webb, had helped catapult the hotel’s celebration to the top of the search engine. Not only that,
but the hotel even remained as the most trending topic on the internet for an entire day.
‘During the celebration, guests who stay at the Sunhill Hotel in Melrose City can participate in the lucky
draw on the day of the celebration. Five people will be selected for the first prize, which is a five-day
tour around the Maldives alongside Austin Webb! Oh, my God!’
The moment Sunhill Hotel announced the news, it immediately caused an uproar on the internet.
Austin debuted in a popular talent show that had been airing for the last two months, and the young
hunks who debuted from the show came out extremely popular with an almost unprecedented crazy
fanbase. As soon as his album came out, it was sold out in a matter of seconds.
It was every fan’s wildest dream to be able to go on a personal trip with him.
Ever since the news started trending on Facebook, the hotel’s ordering line was almost destroyed.
“I can’t believe she thought of this!” In a hotel room, Britney was fuming after receiving the news.
“These fans are so irrational! Are they crazy? Just because of a young brat, they’d spend all their
money to stay in such a poorly rated hotel?”
Her agent, Jason, was standing aside while wiping his sweat. “Aren’t all fans the same?”
“Sunhill Hotel’s cheapest room costs at least 2,000. If they have the money, why don’t they just use it to
buy tickets for a concert? Why do they need to be involved in this? This is just a lucky draw. It’s not like
everyone will get the chance to win it!”“Not all of them are Austin’s fans. I’ve heard that Sunhill Hotel has invited five male celebrities. For the
first prize, the fans will be divided into categories based on their idol, and each celebrity will get to draw
a fan to go on a trip with them. Not only that, the whole trip will also be filmed because Starlight Media
is planning to follow up the celebration by shooting a travel program with the celebrities and their fans.”
“How did our company get involved in this?” Britney looked gloomy.
“After all, President Duncan is a huge shareholder of our company. Starlight Media and Sunhill
Enterprise have always had a good collaborative relationship. It has already caused a stir on the
internet before the celebration even started, so shouldn’t the company take the chance while they still
can?” Jason sighed. “Britney, I think we should stop going against that woman for the time being. If the
company’s senior officials find out about this, they might think that we are deliberately sabotaging the
company’s benefits.”
With an upset face, Britney smashed everything on the table angrily.
On the other hand, although Courtney noticed the feedback from the fans on the internet and the rapid-
growing performance of the hotel, she still didn’t dare to let her guard down as she kept on deducting
the overspend in the budget to calculate the remaining profit.
Fortunately, these young hunks had not officially debuted yet, so their asking price wasn’t that high,
which was a huge relief for her.
“Miss Hunter, we still need one more male celebrity. Do you have any candidates in mind? We need to
make a deal with him quickly.”
Courtney had a look at the list and said, “I’ll go talk with the last celebrity myself.”
After Addie left, Courtney stared at the celebrity’s profile on her desk before revealing a profound smile.On the profile, there was the name of a celebrity—Shay Spencer.
I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t notice that Shay had already joined Starlight Media. A singing show
that he just participated in completely turned him from a cello player to an actual singer. He has also
gained a lot of fans recently.
That was why for the last celebrity, she planned to find Shay.
Even though his appeal to the fans wasn’t as strong as the previous four, it would still help elevate the
hotel’s status by having a cello player in their ranks.
novelbinOn the day of the celebration, the entire lawn in front of the Sunhill Hotel was decorated with colorful
balloons and ribbons that were flying around, making the place look very festive. Even the hall was
looking splendid with its bright decoration.
Except for the companies which had a long term collaborative relationship with Sunhill Hotel, the
guests who stayed in the hotel during the celebration were also on the invitation list. The transportation
department even set up a cordon around the perimeter of the hotel early because safety measures
must be taken in advance for the celebrities to enter.
As the main person in charge of the celebration, Courtney was required to give a speech on stage
before the opening ceremony.
Today, she wore a grey tube-top dress with white lotus dots scattered at the hem. As she lifted her
dress and walked onto stage, she looked like an elegant walking flower that no one could keep their
eyes off of.
“Are most senior officials in the Sunhill Hotel this young and pretty?”
“Not only that, but she is also very capable. All of these were planned by her.”After taking a look around, Courtney bowed respectfully.
“Thank you all for taking your precious time to attend Sunhill Hotel’s centennial celebration. I’m the
hotel’s housekeeping manager, Courtney Hunter, but I don’t think many of you recognize me because I
only joined the company a little over three months ago. However, I hope that from now on, I will be
fortunate enough to cooperate with all the presidents, guests, and friends we have here…”
Before getting up the stage, she memorized the whole speech down to every word. Besides, her
mannerism was particularly composed, and she would occasionally put in a few humorous jokes.
Therefore, the guests below were all smiling as they gazed at her with admiration.
Among the crowd, there was a slender figure who arrived late to the celebration, but his 1.8-meter
height was enough to make him stand out from the crowd.
“President Duncan, you still need to attend a meeting tonight in Shanghai. Are you here early in the
morning to take a look because you’re worried about the celebration? It seems to me that Miss Hunter
has arranged everything perfectly.”
However, Alexander’s eyes were glued to the stage. “Is that so?”
The assistant hesitated for a while and said, “However, if you hadn’t asked the finance department to
increase the budget by 20%, I’m afraid none of this would have been achievable.”
Alexander glared at him. “You are a little talkative today.”
Immediately, the assistant shrunk his neck. Did I say something wrong?
Just when the two of them were having a conversation, an old and solemn voice came from behind.
“President Duncan.”Alexander turned around and saw a man in his fifties, who was wearing a formal suit and leather
shoes. Even though he looked old, his back was still firm. However, he seemed to lack a bit of energy
as his eye sockets were deep and tired.
“Mr. Hunter?”
The person who had arrived was Courtney’s father—the president of Sunrise Enterprise, Lucian
Hunter.
“It’s me. I can’t believe you still remember me,” Lucian said in a calm demeanor. “Can I talk to you for a
minute?”
Alexander furrowed his brows and gave a nod. Before leaving, he glanced at the stage and saw
Courtney, who had finished her speech, leaving the stage to the host.
Due to the ceremony, the open-air cafe on the second floor of the Sunhill Hotel was empty except for
the staff.
The two of them ordered two cups of tea and sat face to face under a parasol.
“Why didn’t you ask me why I’m here?” Lucian started the conversation.
Alexander remained composed. “The Sunrise Enterprise has a collaboration with the Sunhill
Enterprise. You focus on high-end tourism while we focus on high-end hotel franchises; both of us have
a mutual benefit, so it’s no surprise that you are on the invitation list.”
“But I have been in poor health over the past few years, so it was always my daughter who had
attended these banquets for me.”
Alexander’s eyes flickered. “But this time, you didn’t let your eldest daughter attend because your other
daughter is now working for my company, right? Not only that, she is also in charge of this event.”Upon hearing his assumption, Lucian revealed a somewhat unpleasant look as he thought that
Alexander was mentioning the feud between Courtney and Anna. After all, this matter had already
spread across the upper class due to the incident during Isaac’s engagement ceremony.
“It seems like you have looked into my family’s affairs quite thoroughly. However, making assumptions
about your employee’s family affairs doesn’t seem like what a president should do.”
The atmosphere immediately became intense upon his words.
