A tall man stepped out of the car and bowed respectfully toward him.
"Dragon King!"
"Long Ya, how did the matter go?"
Ye Chen asked indifferently.
A kingly aura unique to those in high positions radiated from him, putting significant pressure on the man before him.
The man he called Long Ya was one of the eight great generals of the Dragon Soul Organization!
Because of his ugly appearance, loyal nature, and expertise in business, he was deeply trusted by Ye Chen!
He usually brought Long Ya with him wherever he went.
Firstly, it was convenient to have someone to run errands.
Secondly, he used his ugliness to highlight his own handsomeness!
Long Ya hurriedly reported.
"Reporting to the Dragon King, Heishi Group has been successfully acquired and renamed Longchen Group."
After Huajin Investment suffered major losses some time ago, the Dragon King had transferred him back to Huaxia from Europe.
He had also mobilized a full five hundred billion in funds to successfully acquire the Heishi Group in Suhang.
The Dragon Soul Organization had unfathomable resources!
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"Then I will leave it to you to manage; I don't want to expose my identity too early."
"Thank you for your trust, Dragon King. Your subordinate will definitely manage Longchen Group well."
Long Ya cupped his fists, speaking with excitement.
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
This Suhang was not quite what he had imagined; relying on keeping a low profile to get things done was too slow!
He decided to speed up the pace of conquering Suhang!
Longchen Group was merely his vanguard!
"Long Ya, three days from now, I want to hold a birthday banquet for my woman."
"In the name of the person in charge of Longchen Group, book the entire top floor of the Mingyue Hotel."
"After booking it, release the news so that all of Suhang knows that the boss of Longchen Group is holding a birthday banquet for his beloved."
"Also, help the Su Family secure that plot of land in the west of the city; let the Su Family see my strength."
"Anyone who refuses, dies!"
Ye Chen said with immense dominance.
"Long Ya obeys!"
Long Ya cupped his hands, a cold glint in his eyes. Anyone who stood in the way of the Dragon King, he would surely execute!
Mingyue Hotel.
As the only seven-star hotel in Suhang, it could be considered a landmark of the city.
The main body of the hotel consisted of two curved towers, connected in the center by an arched structure.
From a distance, the hotel looked like a giant ring standing on the lake, incorporating the Huaxia element of harmony between man and nature.
Every night, the entire hotel would reflect in the lake like a bright moon, a breathtaking sight.
"Not bad, this system reward is actually quite decent; I suggest a super multiplier next time."
Driving his car, Tang Yu looked at the hotel that now belonged to him from afar, feeling quite satisfied.
Having transmigrated through so many rounds with this dog system, the reward this time was indeed quite generous.
It was just that it was so generous all of a sudden that it made him feel like something was a bit off.
When he drove to the hotel, the hotel's general manager, Wang Defa, was already waiting for him at the entrance.
"Young Master Tang."
Seeing Tang Yu get out of the car, he hurriedly came over to bow and salute.
"Manager Wang, don't be so formal."
Tang Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
After the system transferred the hotel to his name, it had thoughtfully replaced the management here with people from the Tang Family.
"Young Master Tang, shall I take you inside for a tour first?"
Wang Defa made a gesture of invitation.
Tang Yu nodded and followed Wang Defa as they toured the hotel.
As soon as he stepped into the hotel, the massive crystal chandelier caught Tang Yu's eye.
The entire lobby was crafted from citrine and various types of jade, pushing opulence and luxury to the absolute limit.
Wang Defa led Tang Yu around to tour the various facilities of the hotel, finally arriving at the hot springs.
There were over a hundred hot spring pools in the hotel's spa area.
Among them were more than forty hot spring villas, where the wealthy of Suhang frequently came to spend their money.
He pointed to one of the villas and asked.
"Young Master Tang, shall we reserve a few of these hot spring villas for private use?"
"Just keep one."
Tang Yu nodded with a smile.
"Understood. I'll make the arrangements in a moment so that this villa will no longer be open to the public."
Wang Defa nodded, and after they finished touring the hot springs, they returned to the general manager's office.
They had barely sat down, and Wang Defa hadn't even finished brewing the tea, when his secretary rushed in.
"General Manager Wang, the person in charge from Longchen Group is here at the hotel, saying they want to book the entire top floor for a birthday banquet."
The secretary reported.
"Book the top floor?"
Wang Defa raised an eyebrow.
The top floor of Mingyue Hotel was one of its biggest selling points.
Because of the beautiful scenery, distinguished guests came to spend time there every single day.
If he were to book the top floor for just one person, it would certainly offend other guests.
Just as he was about to refuse, Tang Yu suddenly spoke up and asked.
"Longchen Group?"
"Yes, Longchen Group. It was called Heishi Group a while back, but they changed the name after being acquired."
The secretary replied hurriedly.
Heishi Group was quite famous in Suhang, and many people had been curious after it was suddenly acquired.
They wondered what kind of powerful outsider could have such deep pockets!
To be able to spend a massive 500 billion to buy such a large company!
Tang Yu immediately cursed under his breath.
Damn it, isn't this the plot from chapter ninety-five of the original book?
In this chapter, Ye Chen stops playing the pig to eat the tiger and begins to reveal his strength step by step.
To prove himself to the Su Family, he books the top floor of Mingyue Hotel—which is never opened to the public—to host a grand birthday banquet for Su Muyue!
At this banquet, the members of the Su Family have their faces slapped hard, and no one dares to look down on him ever again!
Su Muyue is also conquered by his romantic gesture and falls completely in love with him!
After taking down the Su Family, his influence in Suhang grows even stronger! He begins to set his sights on swallowing up the Tang Family!
You damn system, screw you, you're trying to set me up again, aren't you?
Tang Yu cursed the system in his heart.
He had known this ghost of a system was being too generous; there had to be a catch.
According to the original plot, Ye Chen sends Long Ya to book the top floor for Su Muyue's birthday banquet.
The hotel's general manager refuses to break the rules no matter what.
So, Long Ya grabs the general manager by the throat, threatening him with death.
Agree, or die!
After the general manager has one foot in the grave, he realizes this is someone he cannot afford to offend and is forced to agree!
So now, the pressure is on him.
If he doesn't agree, given the personality of a mad dog like Long Ya, he will surely use any means necessary to force them to comply.
But if he does agree, it will also be very troublesome.
If Ye Chen really succeeds in winning over Su Muyue, the Su Family will become his power base.
Combined with Longchen Group and other forces, the Tang Family and his own situation will become very dangerous.
It's a lose-lose situation; he can't even try to lay low if he wanted to.
He had to find a way to stir up some trouble.
But getting involved personally was a bit too dangerous.
After taking a deep breath, his gaze fell upon Wang Defa.
If he remembered correctly, this guy's talent for being a double agent was also quite exceptional.
One of the classic tropes for a villain in a power fantasy novel is that their subordinates are always experts at causing trouble.
Wang Defa was no exception.
Therefore, Tang Yu felt this was the perfect opportunity for him to showcase his talents.
"What is it, Young Master Tang?"
Noticing Tang Yu's strange gaze, Wang Defa hurriedly walked over with a smile to ask.
"Manager Wang, I think we can agree to the request to book the top floor, but the birthday banquet must absolutely not be allowed to succeed. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang Yu chuckled and winked at him.
If the birthday banquet were to be held successfully, he would be walking straight toward a dead end according to the original plot.
If he didn't agree, that animal Long Ya would be a massive headache.
Since that was the case, he would let Wang Defa do what he did best.
With this double-agent's intuition, he was guaranteed to pull off a stroke of genius; he would leave the Dragon King trembling in his boots.
"Understood."
Wang Defa nodded, though he was still a bit confused inside.
What exactly did Young Master Tang mean by this?
If he didn't want to do it, couldn't he just refuse directly?
Filled with doubt, he left the office and went to the reception room to meet Long Ya, who was waiting there.
"How should I address you, sir? I am Wang Defa, the manager of this hotel."
Wang Defa walked up with a smile on his face to shake hands with Long Ya.
Long Ya shook Wang Defa's hand with an arrogant expression on his face.
"My name is Long Ya. My boss wants to hold a birthday party for his woman, Miss Su Muyue. How much to book your top floor? Name your price."
He had heard about the rules of Mingyue Hotel; the top floor was not available for private booking.
But the Dragon King had already issued the order!
Whatever the Dragon King wanted to achieve, he would achieve it!
He was already prepared to give the other party a show of force, to let Mingyue Hotel know that there were some people they could not refuse!
Defy the Dragon King! Die!
Wang Defa's eyes turned gloomy in an instant.
Miss Su was their boss's woman?
What kind of nonsense was this? So they were here to steal a woman from Young Master Tang?
He realized it in an instant.
No wonder Young Master Tang wanted him to agree first and then sabotage it; it turned out he wanted to intentionally slap the other party in the face!
"The chance to get ahead has arrived."
Wang Defa smiled triumphantly to himself and readily agreed.
"Manager Long, is it? Hello. Our Mingyue Hotel is eager to build a good relationship with your company, so we are making an exception to open the top floor for booking, and we won't charge any fees!"
Wang Defa's attitude caught Long Ya by surprise.
But he quickly figured it out.
It must be the presence of Longchen Group that made the other party want to curry favor.
After all, anyone with half a brain would know that someone capable of spending 500 billion to acquire a company must have unfathomable strength!
"Since your hotel is so sincere, I accept your friendship on behalf of Longchen Group. I will send the birthday banquet proposal to Manager Wang later."
Long Ya said with satisfaction.
"Very good, very good."
Wang Defa agreed with a smile, and both of them were grinning like children who weighed several hundred pounds.
After both sides confirmed the matter, Wang Defa hurried back to report to Tang Yu.
Upon learning that the matter had been settled.
Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
The damn system wants to screw me over?
With my superior intellect and a pair of brilliant subordinates, how could a measly system like you ever hope to deal with me?
