Upon hearing this, the man in the suit glanced at Su Chen with some surprise, then immediately stepped forward.

Hello, Mr. Zhao.

"These are the bodyguards we've hired for you. This is a one-year contract. They will obey your orders for the entire year. However, our company is a legitimate one; we are not authorized to do anything illegal except for security."

Su Chen nodded, then readily signed the document and transferred the Past payment.

The man in the suit addressed the five burly men. "Hurry up and call the boss."

The five people quickly greeted, "Hello, boss."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "By the way, five people seem a bit insufficient. Could you find five more for me later?"

Su Chen needs five more people from the five-person protection company to watch over his Parking Lot.

There's no way around it, that's just how extravagant money can be.

Hire top-notch bodyguards to watch the Parking Lot.

After saying that, he stopped looking at the man in the suit, turned to look at the group of people, gave them a phone number and told them to contact him themselves, then turned and went into the residential area.

All five of them are rather strange. Weren't you calling them just to protect you?

Is it to protect others?

Back in her room, Huang Yuelan suddenly spoke.

Have you eaten? Shall I make you something?

Su Chen then realized that he hadn't eaten yet, not just today, but also yesterday. His Congenital Sacred Body meant he wouldn't feel hungry for ten days to half a month.

So much so that Su Chen returned to his state when he was in the Cultivation World, and he didn't even think about eating.

But Huang Yuelan looked different; she was clearly starving.

Su Chen glanced at the empty kitchen. He had never even thought about cooking, so why would he buy those kitchen utensils? He took Huang Yuelan's hand and headed towards the Restaurant opposite Tianxin, where they ordered a large, sumptuous lunch.

After returning home and 'resting' for a while, I took Huang Yuelan out to buy things in the afternoon.

Su Chen mainly spent money to buy tangible assets, such as villas.

After receiving Su Chen's orders, Sun Hao began to acquire shares in various companies. As an investor, he naturally knew which companies were good and which were bad.

He began to try to acquire shares of those he knew about, at 1.5 times the market price, which was actually quite a lot, so many people were tempted.

For the next three days, Su Chen's Sign-In was entirely in Huaxia Coin.

The total is close to two trillion Huaxia Coin.

In these three days, despite Sun Hao's frantic acquisition of assets, he only spent 200 billion. Everyone in the company was so busy that they simply lived at the company.

When Su Chen called to inquire about the progress, he was at a loss for words, realizing that he had indeed not met the boss's speed requirements.

"Keep expanding my scope. The boss said, as long as we don't lose money, we can enter any industry that allows us to break even."

"Invest in Factory, real estate, AI, automobiles—invest in every industry. Spend at least 500 billion today."

Although he didn't know why Su Chen did this, it didn't really matter to him, because with so many assets purchased, Su Chen could never become poor.

These tangible assets are sometimes even more useful than money, and Sun Hao's investments are all in tangible assets that, even if they don't generate profits in the Future, will hardly cause Su Chen's assets to shrink.

However, no sooner had he hung up the phone than Su Chen opened a new investment company with one trillion yuan in its accounts. It was a subsidiary of Chentian Investment Company. He asked Sun Hao to find a group of people to assist Chentian Investment Company.

In an instant.

As Chentian Investment Company's business continued to grow, it gradually gained a reputation in Pingjiang City, and almost everyone in the industry knew about the company.

In a luxurious villa in Capital.

Ye Tianran was leisurely enjoying life. He felt that he could easily win the battle against Su Chen. He was enjoying himself here, while Su Chen had to fight desperately.

So he always seemed relaxed and carefree.

Just then, a man in a suit approached, his face serious.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened!"

"That Zhao Du you asked me to keep an eye on has been making quite a stir lately."

Ye Tianran narrowed his eyes. "Oh, tell me about it."

He didn't think Su Chen could cause any trouble. There was no Spiritual Energy in this space, so it was impossible for him to cultivate. Moreover, in just a few days, it was even less likely that Su Chen could accumulate any huge wealth.

The man in the suit said with a serious expression, "That Zhao Du owns a company called Chentian Investment Company. Based on market value, its market size is already close to two trillion, and this investment company is constantly acquiring other industries."

"Several companies under our Ye Group have also had their shares acquired by them."

What!?

Ye Tianran suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.

How could Su Chen possibly possess two trillion in just a few days?

How is that possible!

But who will help him?

Ye Tianran frowned.

The man in the suit shook his head. "It doesn't seem so."

Ye Tianran's eyes were filled with solemnity. He was somewhat bewildered. How could Su Chen accumulate so much wealth in this world in such a short time? He had no Cultivation Level, no Divine Sense, so how did he manage to do it?

Ye Tianran took a deep breath. Although he didn't know why, he knew that he had to stop Su Chen now.

Damn it!

The Rule here were already set by him, and even he himself could not change them. If they were changed, it would mean that Su Chen could no longer be confined in this world.

"Try every means to acquire this Chen Tian Company... No, that won't work. Even if he holds a controlling stake, he can't buy it. So you need to find a way to compete with them. Whatever Zhao Du buys, you should snatch it."

The man in the suit looked somewhat conflicted upon hearing this.

"But... they're paying 1.5 times the market price. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to pay any higher?"

"Shut up!" Ye Tianran roared, unable to contain himself. "No matter the cost, buy everything they buy!"

He couldn't give Su Chen even the slightest chance to turn the tables. Su Chen already possessed two trillion in assets; if he were given another chance, this unfair battle would soon become fair.

The man in the suit didn't say much upon hearing this. Although the entire Ye Group seemed to belong to the Ye Family, the young man in front of him was actually the true master, so he dared not disobey.

The involvement of the Ye Group quickly made Sun Hao's acquisition journey more difficult, and he hurriedly called Su Chen.

"Boss, we're in trouble."

Su Chen spoke calmly, "Speak."

"When we visited Zuoyang Coal Mine today, we had already reached an agreement and were ready to sign the contract, but someone else bought it for more money. I inquired and found out that the Ye Group bought it for 1.7 times the market price."

Ye Group?

Su Chen's lips curled slightly upward, his eyes filled with disdain.

You're only just realizing this now?

Looks like you're a bit slow on the uptake.

"Ignore them. The Ye Group has plenty of money, so let them buy. You can choose other assets. I don't believe the Ye Group has that much cash. With so many assets in Huaxia, do you think the Ye Family can take them all?"

"Furthermore, we don't need to limit our focus to Pingjiang City. We can expand into places like Magic City and Capital. As long as it's a suitable industry, we can acquire it."

Hearing Su Chen say this, Sun Hao felt more confident. He immediately abandoned Zuoyang Coal Mine and started looking at other companies.

Afterwards, the acquisitions kept encountering problems, with the Ye Group intercepting about half of them. This angered Sun Hao, so he deliberately tried to sabotage the Ye Group by announcing the acquisition of two companies that were about to go bankrupt. However, the Ye Group still managed to snatch them Past.

While this isn't enough to shake the entire Ye Group, it's still satisfying to annoy them a little.
