Rebirth and Conquest

The East District of City B is a bustling commercial area with some of the highest land prices in the city. Recently, a five-star luxury hotel has been built in this prime location. The hotel covers a vast area and, in addition to fully equipped guest rooms, integrates dining, games, and entertainment. It features a rooftop swimming pool, as well as a large banquet hall and conference hall. The hotel officially opened two days ago.

At that moment, two people walked into an office on the top floor of the hotel.

"Ayan, what do you think of this place? It will be my office from now on."

Yan Minghui looked at the office with excitement. The office was very spacious and bright, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window covering an entire wall. There was not much furniture inside, except for a large desk that was very eye-catching. As he spoke, Yan Minghui walked behind the desk and sat down in the chair.

"Yea, very good."

Chen Yan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out. The wide view showed almost half of B City.

“Then I’ll make this the hotel headquarters. This place is more than three times bigger than my old one, haha, it looks impressive.” Yan Minghui shifted in the leather chair, feeling quite comfortable.

"I'm really impressed by that kid Di Wenjin now. When he wanted to build here, he spent money faster than water could flow, it almost broke my heart. Now the hotel and the real estate are all ours."

Chen Yan curled the corners of her lips and left the floor-to-ceiling window.

“By the way, the building on that plot of land in Yucheng District is almost finished. He intends to use it as the group’s headquarters.” Yan Minghui looked up at Chen Yan. “I have to say, that kid has some brains when it comes to real estate. However, I don’t want to go there. I plan to stay here from now on. I’ll just manage my hotel, and let him do whatever he wants with the rest.”

Chen Yan walked to the desk, picked up an exquisite hourglass bottle, and smiled. "Being able to do one thing well is a skill in itself. Our hotel industry is counting on you."

Yan Minghui said with a hint of pride, "Ayan, our hotel is now among the top ten in the country, with dozens of chain stores of all sizes across the country. My next step is to get it into the top five."

“I’ve also reserved a room for you here, the best presidential suite. You can stay there when you come in the future,” Yan Minghui said with a smile, then paused. “That kid Fang Wei is really enjoying himself now. He absolutely refuses to come with me. When I looked for him a few days ago, he told me that he just wanted to be a manager at the branch office. He doesn’t want to leave home to be with his wife and kids. Tsk tsk.”

"Minghui, you're twenty-four this year, right? When are you planning to get married?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.

"I haven't thought about marriage yet. But when I was poor, the people I liked didn't like me back. Now that I'm rich, I can't find anyone I like," Yan Minghui said, shaking his head.

"Then whenever you want to get married, we'll have a grand wedding."

In the afternoon, Chen Yan and Di Wenjin went to the real estate development in Yucheng District. It was almost completed and was undergoing final decoration. It was a newly emerging cluster of commercial buildings, surrounded by high-end commercial buildings that were under construction or had just been completed.

The two only looked around inside the car and did not get out.

“Young Master Chen, you have a truly sharp eye. When you bought it, this place was nothing. I never expected it to become a key development zone so quickly.” Di Wenjin looked at the high-rise buildings outside and couldn’t help but shake his head. “If you were to buy it now, the price would be many times higher.”

“Without Mr. Di’s planning, we wouldn’t have been able to build this place so quickly,” Chen Yan said with a smile. “Mr. Di, please move here as soon as possible. There will definitely be a lot of things to take care of then.”

"Well, that's what I thought too."

That evening, Chen Yan and his team held a celebration party at the newly completed hotel, partly to celebrate the hotel's opening and partly to celebrate the success of Fu Mingxue's film.

When Fu Mingxue arrived, she brought with her a newly signed artist, a young man in his early twenties named Ji Yunjiang. Since everyone present except him was a member of the company's leadership, he was a little reserved. However, it was clear that Fu Mingxue valued him highly. Fu Mingxue said that she initially chose him because he was down-to-earth and not impetuous. If he was properly nurtured, his future would be limitless.

As for Chen Yan, Fu Mingxue was extremely grateful. To him, it was no exaggeration to say that Chen Yan had shown him great kindness and mentorship. No amount of thanks would have been enough. Fu Mingxue toasted Chen Yan and sincerely expressed that he would never betray Chen Yan's trust.

The entire banquet was filled with joy and harmony. After the banquet, Fu Mingxue left with the artist first, as his next film was entering the preparation stage. Yan Minghui, having just opened the hotel, had many things to deal with, so he discussed leaving with Di Wenjin. Subsequently, Su Zhengguang and Ji Yang also returned to the company.

In the end, only Chen Yan and He Yichen were left. "Boss, I'll take you back," He Yichen asked after they left the hotel.

Chen Yan nodded, "Okay, but Mr. He, please wait a moment, I have something to take care of."

Then Chen Yan called Xi Yichen and asked him to meet up.

Not long after, Xi Yichen arrived, and the two arranged to meet at a restaurant that was open in the evening.

"I didn't expect you to ask me out, it's a real surprise." Xi Yichen seemed very happy to see Chen Yan and sat down next to her.

"Young Master Xi, this is the repayment of five million." Chen Yan placed a check in front of Xi Yichen. "There is also interest included, calculated at the highest rate."

"You came here just to talk about this?" Xi Yichen asked, his face turning somewhat unpleasant. "I thought... never mind, I guess I was just being presumptuous. Are you free today? Let's have a meal together."

"Sorry, I have something to do. Let's eat next time," Chen Yan said, standing up.

Xi Yichen grabbed Chen Yan's arm, his face showing a hint of anger. "Are you leaving already? You're really heartless. I've gone to such lengths, what more do you want? Are you playing with me?"

"Young Master Xi, I don't want to get entangled with you. Let go."

"I won't let you go. It's so late, and you just called me out like that. Haha, no one has ever treated me like this before."

"Do you think you can control me, or will this make me change my mind?" Chen Yan asked, shaking off Xi Yichen's hand. "Young Master Xi has always been decisive and clean-cut. You don't do things in a tangled way. If others saw you like this, they would laugh at you."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, she walked out, ignoring Xi Yichen who was still standing there in a daze.

He Yichen was waiting outside in his car. After Chen Yan came out, she got into He Yichen's car and asked him to take her back to school.

"Is that the eldest son of the Xi family?" He Yichen asked while driving. "I didn't realize he was such a romantic. Haha, I heard he's quite the player. Tsk tsk, the boss's charm is truly irresistible."

Chen Yan chuckled, "Mr. He always prides himself on being good at having fun, so you two are kindred spirits. You could try to get to know each other better."

“Since we’re the same kind of people, how can we get along? Boss, haven’t you heard of the saying ‘like repels like’?” He Yichen said with a smile. He glanced at the rearview mirror. “Boss, that young master is standing at the door watching us. What do you think he’ll do if he sees you get into someone else’s car?”

Chen Yan didn't speak.

He Yichen waited for a while but didn't get a reply. Feeling rather bored, he remained silent. After a while, he suddenly said, "By the way, boss, why don't you come to the company tomorrow and we can meet a few people together?"

"who?"

"Could you help me take a look at the artists the company is planning to sign?"

"Okay, sure."

When Chen Yan returned to the apartment, Wen Mu had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him in the living room. As soon as he saw Chen Yan, he immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Chen Yan, you're back. I've already prepared dinner."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, walking towards the sofa.

"I'm waiting for you."

"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? I've already eaten. You can eat by yourself."

"Oh." A hint of disappointment flashed in Wen Mu's eyes as he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yan called out to Wen Mu again, then took out a card and handed it over. "This is for you."

"what?"

"There's fifteen million inside."

Wen Mu paused for a moment before taking the card. "You can keep this for now, I don't need it anyway."

Chen Yan placed the card in Wen Mu's hand, saying, "Take it back. I don't like owing people money."

Wen Mu forced a smile, took the card. He had stolen the money from home, and if he returned it now, he would probably get another scolding.

Seeing Wen Mu's expression, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He ruffled Wen Mu's hair and said with a smile, "Why do you look like this? Don't you know how to spend your money?"

"Indeed, I've never had so much money before," Wen Mu said somewhat embarrassedly, pausing for a moment. "Why don't you come with me to buy some things and see how we can spend it?"

"Sure, what would you like to buy?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'll talk about it when I do."

"it is good"
