ALL NOVEL Chapter 29 – Longchen Group
A tall man stepped out of the car and bowed respectfully.
"Dragon King!"
"Longya, how did it go?" Ye Chen asked calmly.
An aura of dominance unique to those in power emanated from him, putting pressure on the man in front of him.
The man called Longya was one of the eight war generals of the Dragon Soul organization!
Despite his ugly appearance, he was loyal and skilled in business, earning Ye Chen's trust.
Wherever Ye Chen went, he always brought Longya along.
First, for convenience.
Second, to highlight his own handsomeness with Longya's ugliness!
Longya quickly reported.
"Dragon King, the Blackstone Group has been successfully acquired and renamed Longchen Group."
After Huajin Investments suffered a significant loss a few days ago, the Dragon King had called him back from Europe to China.
He had mobilized a staggering five trillion yuan to successfully acquire the Blackstone Group in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The Dragon Soul organization had unfathomable resources!
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I'll leave it to you to manage. I don't want my identity exposed too soon."
"Thank you for your trust, Dragon King. I will manage Longchen Group well," Longya said excitedly, clasping his fists.
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Suzhou and Hangzhou were not as he had imagined; trying to achieve things quietly was too slow!
He decided to speed up his conquest of Suzhou and Hangzhou!
Longchen Group was just his vanguard!
"Longya, in three days, I want to throw a birthday party for my woman."
"Book the top floor of the Bright Moon Hotel under the name of Longchen Group."
"Once it's booked, spread the word that the owner of Longchen Group is hosting a birthday party for his lover."
"And get that piece of land in the west of the city for the Su Family, so they can see my power."
"If anyone dares to oppose, kill them!"
Ye Chen said domineeringly.
"Longya obeys!" Longya's eyes gleamed coldly. Anyone who obstructed the Dragon King would be eliminated!
...
Bright Moon Hotel.
The only seven-star hotel in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it was a landmark.
The hotel consisted of two curved towers connected by an arch structure in the center.
From a distance, the hotel looked like a giant ring standing on the lake, incorporating elements of China's Unity of Heaven and Man.
At night, the entire hotel reflected on the lake like a bright moon, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Not bad, this system reward is quite decent. I suggest doubling it next time."
Tang Yu, driving his car, looked at the hotel that now belonged to him from afar and felt quite satisfied.
After following the shitty system through so many book transmigrations, this reward was indeed generous.
But the sudden generosity made him feel something was off.
When he drove to the hotel, the general manager, Wang Defa, was already waiting for him at the entrance.
"Young Master Tang."
Seeing Tang Yu get out of the car, Wang Defa quickly came over to bow and greet him.
"No need to be so polite, Mr. Wang."
Tang Yu smiled and patted his shoulder.
After the system transferred the hotel to his name, it thoughtfully replaced the management with people from the Tang Family.
"Young Master Tang, shall I give you a tour?"
Wang Defa made an inviting gesture.
Tang Yu nodded and followed Wang Defa around the hotel.
As soon as he stepped into the hotel, the huge crystal chandelier caught Tang Yu's eye.
The entire lobby was made of yellow crystal and various jade stones, exuding extreme luxury.
Wang Defa led Tang Yu through the hotel's various facilities, ending at the hot springs.
The hotel had over a hundred hot spring pools.
There were more than forty hot spring villas, frequented by the wealthy of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
He pointed to a villa and asked, "Young Master Tang, should we reserve a few hot spring villas for private use?"
"One will do."
Tang Yu smiled and nodded.
"Alright, I'll notify the staff to keep this villa private from now on."
Wang Defa nodded, and after touring the hot springs, they returned to the general manager's office.
They had just sat down, and Wang Defa hadn't even made tea when his secretary rushed in.
"Mr. Wang, the person in charge of Longchen Group is here and wants to book the top floor for a birthday party."
The secretary reported.
"Book the top floor?"
Wang Defa raised an eyebrow.
The top floor of Bright Moon Hotel was a major attraction.
Due to its excellent view, it was frequented by distinguished guests daily.
Booking the top floor for one person would surely offend other guests.
Just as he was about to refuse, Tang Yu suddenly asked.
"Longchen Group?"
"Yes, Longchen Group. It was called Blackstone Group until recently, but it was renamed after being acquired."
The secretary quickly replied.
Blackstone Group was well-known in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and its sudden acquisition had piqued many people's curiosity.
Who could be this powerful to spend five trillion yuan to buy such a large company?
Tang Yu immediately cursed inwardly.
Damn, isn't this the plot from chapter ninety-five of the original book?
In this chapter, Ye Chen stops hiding his strength and starts showing his power step by step.
To prove himself to the Su Family, he booked the top floor of Bright Moon Hotel for Su Muyue's grand birthday party!
At the party, the Su Family was humiliated, and no one dared to look down on him again!
Su Muyue was also won over by his romance and fell for him completely!
After gaining the Su Family, his influence in Suzhou and Hangzhou grew, and he started to annex the Tang Family!
"Shitty system, you damn well set me up again, didn't you?"
Tang Yu cursed in his heart.
He knew something was fishy when the system suddenly became so generous.
According to the original plot, Ye Chen sent Longya to book the top floor for Su Muyue's birthday party.
The hotel manager refused to break the rules.
So Longya choked the manager, threatening him with death.
Refuse, and you die!
The manager, with one foot in the grave, realized he couldn't afford to offend this person and had to agree!
So now the pressure was on him.
If he refused, Longya, that mad dog, would stop at nothing to make them agree.
But agreeing would also be troublesome.
If Ye Chen succeeded in winning over Su Muyue, the Su Family would become his power.
With Longchen Group and other forces, the Tang Family and his own situation would be very dangerous.
Damn if you do, damn if you don't. There's no way to play it safe.
He had to stir things up.
But personally getting involved was a bit risky.
Taking a deep breath, his gaze fell on Wang Defa.
If he remembered correctly, this guy was quite talented at being a snitch.
One of the feel-good novel's villain settings was that the villain's subordinates were always good at causing trouble.
Wang Defa was no exception.
So Tang Yu thought this was a great opportunity for him to shine.
"What's wrong, Young Master Tang?"
Noticing Tang Yu's strange look, Wang Defa quickly came over with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, I think we can agree to book the top floor, but we absolutely can't let the birthday party happen. You get what I mean?"
Tang Yu grinned and winked at him.
If the birthday party succeeded, it would follow the original plot to a dead end.
If they refused, Longya, that beast, would be a huge problem.
Since that was the case, let Wang Defa handle it.
With his snitching talent, he was sure to come up with something brilliant, making the Dragon King tremble.
"Understood."
Wang Defa nodded, still a bit confused.
What did Young Master Tang mean?
If he didn't want it, he could just refuse, right?
Puzzled, he left the office and went to the reception room to meet Longya.
"How should I address you, sir? I'm Wang Defa, the hotel manager."
Wang Defa greeted Longya with a smile and a handshake.
Longya arrogantly shook his hand and said, "I'm Longya. My boss wants to throw a birthday party for his woman, Miss Su Muyue. How much to book your top floor? Name your price."
He had heard of the hotel's rule that the top floor was not available for booking.
But the Dragon King had given the order!
What the Dragon King wanted must be done!
He was ready to give the hotel a show of force, letting them know that some people couldn't be refused!
Defy the Dragon King, and die!
Wang Defa's eyes instantly darkened.
Miss Su was their boss's woman?
What the hell, so they were here to steal Young Master Tang's woman?
He quickly realized.
No wonder Young Master Tang wanted him to agree first and then ruin it. He wanted to slap their faces on purpose?
"Here's my chance to shine."
Wang Defa thought with a smug smile and readily agreed.
"Mr. Long, nice to meet you. Our Bright Moon Hotel is keen to establish good relations with your esteemed company, so we'll make an exception and open the top floor for booking, free of charge!"
Wang Defa's attitude surprised Longya.
He quickly understood.
Longchen Group's presence must have made them eager to please.
After all, spending five trillion yuan to acquire a company was no small feat. Anyone with a bit of sense would know.
Someone capable of such a move must have unfathomable power!
"Since your hotel is so sincere, on behalf of Longchen Group, I accept your friendship. I'll send the birthday party plan to Mr. Wang later."
Longya said, satisfied.
"Very well, very well."
Wang Defa agreed with a smile, both of them grinning like kids with a new toy.
After finalizing the arrangement, Wang Defa hurried back to report to Tang Yu.
Upon learning that the matter was settled, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Shitty system trying to screw me over?
With my exceptional wisdom and talented subordinates, how could a mere system defeat me?
