My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

At this moment, Mo Jiasheng ran to Ye Jianchen's side as if he were taking three quick steps!

He would naturally seize such an opportunity!

"Mr. Mu has contributed so much to Yuhai City. On behalf of Nanfeng Group, I am presenting this painting to you free of charge!"

After taking the painting from Ye Jianchen, Mo Jiasheng handed it to Mu Jianlin!

Although it was said to be free of charge, everyone knew that the White Swan Hotel mostly belonged to Mo Jiasheng!

Considering the value of this hotel, many people were even more envious, and of course, they looked at Ye Jianchen, envying Mo Jiasheng for finding such a person to help him!

At this moment, Mu Jianlin took the painting and looked at it carefully, his old eyes also getting wet!

Then, he slowly revealed the origin of the painting!

It turns out that the painting was lost overseas during the War of Resistance against Japan. Later, it was acquired by one of his friends, who was also an overseas Chinese. He had always wanted to return the painting to its rightful owner and to the motherland!

However, due to an unexpected incident, this friend was robbed at home, shot and killed, and the painting was stolen!

Mu Jianlin inquired through various connections and finally learned that the painting had returned to the motherland, but he didn't know where it had ended up. So Mu Jianlin kept searching for it, partly to fulfill his friend's wish and partly to give it to the motherland!

When everyone learned of Mu Jianlin's idea, thunderous applause erupted!

"Don't thank me, thank this child instead!"

Mu Jianlin humbly waved his hands repeatedly, looking at Ye Jianchen and saying, "This is a national treasure! He didn't keep it for himself, but contributed it. This virtue is worthy of our emulation!"

Several high-ranking officials immediately looked at Ye Jianchen, and some even recognized him!

"He's our top scorer in the college entrance exam!"

"Yes, I remember now. There were TV interviews about him. I remember he had no family; he was an orphan!"

"I never expected him to be so good at academics, and even more so in character!"

After the official spoke up, everyone continued to praise Ye Jianchen.

This caused Ye Jianchen to smile awkwardly. His original intention was to obtain funds through the painting, but he did not expect to be hailed as a hero!

Ye Ruqing looked at Ye Jianchen, who was being fawned over like a star, and felt like she was suffocating with anger!

What annoyed her most was that Ye Kai's phone kept ringing!

The White Swan Hotel project naturally fell into the hands of the Nanfeng Group!

However, Mo Jiasheng also knew that this hotel was a behemoth that one person could not handle alone, because it required managing every aspect. So he also invited his old friend Lin Dong to invest in the business!

And because of the handover of the famous painting, the organizers plan to hold a promotional gala!

The location is the White Swan Hotel!

Moreover, the guests at this gala included not only high-ranking officials, but also Mr. Mu, who specially postponed his departure by one day after the famous painting returned to China!

And of course, there's Ye Jianchen, who donated his paintings free of charge!

This gala not only brought together prominent figures from all walks of life, but also invited many A-list celebrities to perform, including Ye Ke'er!

Ye Jianchen knew nothing of all this; he only knew that he had been invited to the party!

Mo Jiasheng had already given him a sum of money as a reward, initially 20 million, but Ye Jianchen ultimately asked for 10 million!

After all, he hadn't expected that the painting wasn't collected by Mr. Mu, but rather donated, so asking for too much money made him feel a bit guilty!

Even ten million would be enough to alleviate the current funding shortage!

"Acquire, acquire!"

"The area around the orphanage is about to be developed; it's officially taking off!"

Ye Jianchen was filled with anticipation!

Hongyan Garment Factory is the future pillar industry. Currently, real estate is still the most profitable sector. With his next investment, he wants to become a billionaire!

"Brother, you probably didn't eat enough for dinner, right? I cooked you some rice!"

Just as I returned to the factory dormitory, I saw Xia Qianqian laying out a variety of home-cooked meals on the table!

She knew that Ye Jianchen definitely hadn't eaten anything at the party!

Sure enough, Ye Jianchen and Li Dafa were both hungry and ate heartily. They praised Xia Qianqian for being so considerate, saying that whoever marries Xia Qianqian in the future will have accumulated good karma in their past life!

Xia Qianqian blushed as she was told this!

However, at this moment, her brother called and complained that the painting had appeared and been bought by Ye Jianchen, the top scorer in the college entrance examination. What bad luck!

Xia Qianqian could only secretly chuckle to herself!

After dinner, Xia Qianqian obediently went to wash the dishes, while Ye Jianchen and Li Dafa chatted about their business plans!

Now that we have money, many projects can be put on the table!

"Online games are also extremely profitable. Li Dafa, you need to recruit talent in the field of internet technology during this period. We are going to set up an internet company!"

Just as Ye Jianchen was giving instructions, the deputy factory director walked in with a woman!

"Hello, you must be Director Ye. My name is Chen Yun!"

This woman is dressed very elegantly; she looks like a wealthy person!

"Here's the thing, I'm from Tianlianhui Group. I've noticed that your factory is doing very well, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in investing!"

As Chen Yun spoke, he handed over a business card!

She was clearly someone of considerable influence; she owned several jewelry businesses and several profitable shops.

"Does it seem strange? Actually, I'm not a fraud!"

Chen Yun further explained, "Because our Tianlianhui Group has only been established for three years, we have done very well in financial management and investment, but we still urgently need funds in some areas. So we are attracting investors. We are in the overseas sector, and we have contact with crude oil, grain, and so on. The investment profit can reach 40%!"

"forty?"

Li Da was shocked!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the garment factory is doing well right now; it's only doing 20%!

"Actually, not every entrepreneur and boss can join Tianlianhui. We also need to investigate. Your Hongyan Garment Factory is a very good example!"

Chen Yun continued, "An investment of one million can yield a profit of four hundred thousand after a year. If you want short-term returns, a ten-day investment can yield fifteen percent, which is one hundred and fifty thousand!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dafa was extremely tempted. The factory still had reserve funds, which would be a waste to leave unused. Investing them in would earn him 150,000 yuan in just ten days!

At this moment, Ye Jianchen smiled and declined, "Thank you, but our factory is a small business and we don't have any extra money to invest!"

He remembered Tianlianhui, it was just a Ponzi scheme that collapsed in his previous life, involving more than 10 billion yuan!

Chen Yun wanted to persuade her again, but Ye Jianchen had already had the deputy factory director take her away!

"Brother Chen, why don't you invest? I just checked, Tianlianhui is a legitimate company with a registered capital of 100 million yuan and a total market value of over 1 billion yuan!"

Li Dafa panicked!

Ye Jianchen laughed and said, "You want his interest, but he wants your principal!"

In this day and age, Ponzi schemes are not very widespread, so many people have never been exposed to them or are not very clear about them!

Over the next few days, Ye Jianchen led Li Dafa to begin the next phase of their plan!

He plans to invest all ten million and then wait for it to bear fruit!

The acquisition went smoothly because the area around the orphanage was mostly uninhabited, consisting of old and dilapidated houses!

Watching the contracts being signed one by one, Ye Jianchen couldn't stop smiling with excitement!

"Brother Chen, you've just thrown away ten million like that? You might as well have invested in Tianlianhui; you could have made 1.5 million in just one month!"

Li Dafa still couldn't forget about Tianlianhui. Based on his current understanding, he didn't know what a financial collapse was!

Moreover, he couldn't understand why Ye Jianchen wanted to buy this place. It had nothing, and there wasn't even a ghost in sight at night!
