Chapter 507: Chapter 508: Far More Noble Than Her

Abel was unfazed by this, merely flashing Gan Yuan a smile.

"Gan, long time no see."

"Please, have a seat."

Gan Yuan politely gestured for him to sit down. Having already seen the surname of Abel’s family on the list, she wasn’t too surprised to see him appear.

After everyone was seated, Gan Yuan got straight to the point.

"It is an honor to be sitting here and take part in the future of the Duke Hotel. I believe everyone’s time is precious, so I will try not to waste it. As we all know, the hotel has been operating at a loss for some time, so I’ve decided... starting today, to make some changes to the hotel’s policies. The first of which concerns the rule that only nobility or their descendants may stay at the hotel."

Earlier, she had taken a tour of the entire hotel. The various amenities were luxuriously yet solemnly opulent, befitting a high-class hotel.

In theory, such a hotel, with its facilities and location... should not possibly have such a low occupancy rate, until she saw the sign in front of the hotel doors and understood the cause. The luxurious plaque clearly read—No Entry for Non-Nobility.

Looking back, this was also the founding owner’s fantasy, to maintain a haven for nobility in a world increasingly indifferent to noble lineage.

How could the world of the upper crust possibly open its doors to commoners?

In world where there are plenty of rich people, how many qualify as true nobility? This single policy had barred countless would-be guests from entering the hotel.

"How could this be?" An elderly nobleman with an elegant moustache immediately objected, "This is the core of our hotel’s uniqueness, a hotel co-founded by the eight great noble families. How can we just let any commoner in?"

"Sir means to say..." Gan Yuan tilted her chin up calmly, "I shouldn’t be allowed in either?"

"Uh..." The other party was at a loss for words, "I... I didn’t mean that."

"I think when everyone first created this hotel, it wasn’t meant to lose money."

Another director took over the conversation, "I don’t care about the money."

"But... I do care!" Gan Yuan stood up, leaning on the table, "Mr. Huangfu Jue hired me to manage it because he hoped his investment would bring him greater returns."

"If you ask me..." A lady with salt-and-pepper hair sighed, "We should be looking for a true noble to take on the role of general manager so we can really communicate."

These individuals were relics of the nobility, still harboring pride in their blue blood. They had not genuinely accepted Gan Yuan, or even Huangfu Jue, who had a commoner mother.

Several families were deeply entrenched and weren’t afraid of offending Huangfu Jue.

So, they were also blunt with Gan Yuan.

"Madam," began Abel with a smile, "If I remember correctly, before you married your husband, you were just a commoner yourself. By your logic, shouldn’t you also leave this room?"

The white-haired noblewoman’s face turned pale, "I... I am a Countess."

"If Gan marries Elroy, she will be a Duchess," emphasized the word "Duchess" with a particular inflection.

The position of a Duchess was much higher than that of a Countess, which meant Gan Yuan’s status would be far above hers.

The noblewoman was left utterly defeated by his remark, flushing red and then white without being able to respond.
