Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Wen Shengsheng was startled. "And then? Why did she ask you to cooperate?"

"Her exact words were that she didn't want to be a marriage partner, but her family pressured her, and she had no choice but to come back from abroad."

"Qingshan Capital has more projects overseas than in China, and Chengjia accounts for a large portion of them."

Wen Shengsheng understood.

No wonder Gong Zekai chose Cheng Zhiyun as his marriage partner; it's not just that Cheng Zhiyun resembles her.

Gong Xiaochen manages domestic projects. If he could marry into the Cheng family, Gong Xiaochen's power would definitely reach a new level, making him virtually the sole ruler of Qingshan Capital.

Believe it or not, from a purely profit-driven perspective...

Miyazawa Kai's decision was correct.

Wen Shengsheng glanced at him sideways, "So how do you plan to cooperate?"

Gong Xiaochen: "I haven't agreed yet."

Wen Shengsheng was slightly taken aback. "You don't trust her?"

Gong Xiaochen looked at Wen Shengsheng quietly without saying a word.

Wen Shengsheng bit her lip. "Um...it's not because of me, is it..."

“Otherwise,” Gong Xiaochen raised an eyebrow. “When you lose your temper, you break up with me without any explanation.”

He paused, then said, "Do you know how hard it is to appease you when you're angry..."

Wen Shengsheng's heart began to bubble.

She pouted, "If she really wants to cooperate, it's not impossible, but how do you plan to cooperate?"

Gong Xiaochen said, "We'll coordinate from the inside and outside. Xi Yu will give us the intelligence, and we'll carry it out."

“Xi Jianguo has even more private assets abroad. In recent years, he has become very powerful and is currently the most powerful person in the Xi family. He returned to China to seize power.”

Wen Shengsheng: "So, it's divided into domestic and international parts, to completely crush Xi Jianguo?"

"Hmm. Cheng Zhiyun advised us to keep Ren Jun in check first, and to do things secretly. Since we want to bring down Xi Jianguo, we shouldn't rush to alert him. We should use Ren Jun to cast a long line to catch a big fish, find all the hidden pawns, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Wen Shengsheng nodded, "That's true, but... is Cheng Zhiyun reliable?"

"I don't know, but she can't fool me." Gong Xiaochen said confidently.

"why?"

"Some of the Cheng family's overseas projects were negotiated by me back then, and I had people working on them. I can find out as soon as I investigate whether she's playing any tricks."

Wen Shengsheng blinked and asked in surprise, "So you're saying you're doing very well abroad? Why did you suddenly come back to China and hand over the reins of Qingshan Capital overseas to your cousin?"

Gong Xiaochen: "..."

He narrowed his eyes. "Yes, why do you think that is?"

Wen Shengsheng thought for a moment, her starry eyes lit up, and she said with absolute certainty, "The Su family! You have a grudge against the Su family."

a long time.

Gong Xiaochen chuckled, "What you said isn't entirely wrong."

He sighed, "The matter of Qianxi Hotel has been settled. Tomorrow, Du Yuan and Chen Ze will take you to complete the transfer."

Wen Shengsheng's mouth instantly formed an "O" shape. "It's done!?"

"Ah."

Wen Shengsheng's mind immediately started racing with calculations, as if she were seeing a deluge of RMB raining down on her.

Gong Xiaochen pinched her dazed little face, "This is just the beginning, there will be more to come."

Wen Shengsheng looked dreamy, still calculating her money, and didn't understand what Gong Xiaochen meant by that.

"Hehe~ It's different, really different." She chuckled foolishly, "Holding onto the Crown Prince's thigh means you'll get the benefits."

Seeing such an almost childlike expression on Wen Shengsheng's face for the first time, Gong Xiaochen really wanted to kiss her.

After getting a little closer.

He paused, seemingly lost in thought, then quickly stepped back.

"Stop grinning like an idiot. Aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow." Gong Xiaochen patted her and reached out to turn off the light.

The room suddenly went dark.

Gong Xiaochen's tall body lay down.

Wen Shengsheng was baffled and looked completely confused.

She was so excited, how could she possibly feel sleepy!?

Moreover, she wanted to chat with Gong Xiaochen a little longer, but he was about to go to sleep.

???

I feel like there's a step missing?

She leaned closer and asked uncertainly, "Are you... going to sleep?"

"Ah."

In the darkness, Wen Shengsheng couldn't see his expression and didn't know what was wrong with him.

Wen Shengsheng pursed her lips and lay down beside her.

Gong Xiaochen had his back to her. The room was dark, and she could only see a tall, dark figure.

He usually sleeps with his arms around her.

He tossed and turned in bed several times, and Gong Xiaochen's even and steady breathing came from beside him.

He fell asleep...

Now it was Wen Shengsheng's turn to sigh.

Never mind, he's probably tired too, so let him go to sleep.

She closed her eyes and began to drift off to sleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but just as she felt she was about to fall asleep, Gong Xiaochen suddenly rolled over and pinned her down.

"what!"

Wen Shengsheng was immediately startled awake and cried out.

"If I rely on you, I'll starve to death sooner or later..." His suppressed and deep voice rang out in the darkness.

Wen Shengsheng's mind went blank for a moment, but she immediately came to her senses.

"You...you did this on purpose!"

In the dark, all the senses become exceptionally clear.

Wen Shengsheng was itchy and sensitive, and kept trembling.

She strained to lift her neck, but finding she couldn't break free, she could only grab the sheets beneath her, panting softly.

"Are you a dog? You always bite me."

Unable to resist this extreme teasing, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but complain.

"I'll stop biting you when you learn to take the initiative," Gong Xiaochen said in a low, tense voice.

Wen Shengsheng was speechless, and whimpered like a small animal, "You didn't say anything, and you pretended to be asleep first..."

"Pretending to be asleep didn't awaken your instincts as a woman," he said with a low breath. "Get serious."

Gong Xiaochen lowered his head and kissed him.

But Wen Shengsheng did not. She dodged his lips and instead bit his neck.

Like a ferocious kitten, it stretched out its claws and fangs, wanting to let him taste what it feels like to be bitten by someone else.

Gong Xiaochen let out a suppressed groan, his breathing growing heavier.

......

As expected, Wen Shengsheng overslept again the next day.

It was already nine o'clock when I opened my eyes.

As Wen Shengsheng got up and washed, she cursed Gong Xiaochen inwardly as a dog.

Chen Ze and Du Yuan were waiting in the parking lot around 7:00 AM. When they saw Wen Shengsheng, they showed no sign of blaming her and remained incredibly calm.

Du Yuan drove towards the administration hall.

The transfer procedures for a five-star hotel are quite complicated, involving changes to various certificates and the transfer of property and land. Even with the help of powerful figures like Gong Xiaochen, it can still take two to three months to get the approval.

Fortunately, Xi Yu has already resolved the internal operational issues of the hotel.

Although normal business operations cannot be carried out during the transfer period, Wen Shengsheng can conduct employee training and market promotion in advance.

Although Wen Shengsheng studied finance, she didn't know how to manage a hotel.

That's why Gong Xiaochen let Chen Ze come along, because he had already hired professionals to help Wen Shengsheng manage the hotel.

After leaving the administration hall, Wen Shengsheng went straight to two hotels.

Last time she came, it was already dark, but this time she was finally able to see the two hotels clearly.

Imagining that this was where her father had worked hard more than a decade ago, Wen Shengsheng's eyes welled up with tears again.

Tianyu is a modern hotel with a sophisticated business atmosphere.

Qianxi is completely different; it's a deep red, retro European-style castle hotel.

The castle is built entirely of vibrant red bricks and stones, with towering towers reaching into the sky, appearing elegant and mysterious against the backdrop of the blue sky.

The management team that Gong Xiaochen personally found was naturally excellent. Chen Ze took Wen Shengsheng to meet the team manager, a young man named Du Sheng, who, like Wen Shengsheng, was a graduate of Peking University.

Hotel management major.

The three chatted for a while and then had lunch together before Wen Shengsheng prepared to leave.

To my surprise, an uninvited guest appeared as soon as I arrived at the hotel entrance.

Ren Su.
