The Interest Group Has Taken Shape

Seriously? Maybe I'm just serious right now?

The saying "Meeting Yang Guo at Fengling Ferry was a life-altering experience" is not just a saying; it's probably what everyone feels when they meet someone truly amazing in their youth.

It's normal for a young girl like Liao Kexin to have some impulsive and unrealistic fantasies when she first meets someone like him.

Thinking about it that way, Zhang Yang didn't find it strange anymore.

"Young Master Zhang, you don't believe me?" Liao Kexin looked up at Zhang Yang.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Zhang Yang pinched Liao Kexin's cheek.

A moment later, in the car.

Liao Kexin picked up her phone and gently patted Zhang Yang's profile.

In the shot, his handsome profile and the Rolls-Royce double-R steering wheel emblem are all visible.

"Here you go." Zhang Yang held out his hand.

Liao Kexin was slightly taken aback.

"Aren't you going to make it official? Can't we hold hands and take a picture together?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

Instantly, Liao Kexin's eyes lit up with surprise, and then, with a touch of shyness, she offered her hand.

A moment later, Zhang Yang was driving.

Liao Kexin was happily editing her WeChat Moments post.

A few simple photos.

His handsome profile was framed by Ghost, his hands clasped together, and his Hermes milkshake-white bag was casually visible on his knees.

The post on WeChat Moments instantly garnered a flood of likes and comments.

Then, quite a few clueless guys, who hadn't even known when they added each other, came to ask.

[How could that be? I even prepared a birthday present for you.]

This is so sudden! So that's why you've never accepted me?

Liao Kexin swiftly blocked and deleted him without even replying to his messages.

With such outstanding examples before them, even exchanging a single word with these boys felt like a thorn in my throat, making me extremely uncomfortable.

Later that evening, Zhang Yang took Liao Kexin back to school.

It was just a chance encounter; he came on a whim and left having a good time. He had more important things to do.

"Young Master Zhang, thank you." Before getting out of the car, Liao Kexin said with lingering satisfaction, "At least when I go back to school, those rumors can finally be put to rest."

"Go ahead." Zhang Yang didn't say anything else, he just patted her thigh.

Liao Kexin a soft "hmm," gently wrapped her arms around Zhang Yang's neck, and offered him a long, passionate kiss.

People were coming and going all around, and many students from the Beijing Dance Academy looked over curiously.

After all, Rolls-Royce, a handsome man, and a beautiful woman are bound to attract attention wherever they go.

"Isn't that... Liao Kexin, the freshman?"

"Don't you not have a boyfriend?"

"Are you stupid? It's not that she doesn't have a boyfriend, it's that she's not interested in those idiots. If you were in her shoes, would you refuse a guy like that? Hmm, that guy seems to be coming down."

In the distance, that tall figure with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes stood in the sunlight, exuding a captivating handsomeness that seemed to last a lifetime.

That's incredible.

At the scene, countless girls suddenly stopped in their tracks, stood there stunned, and deeply engraved the scene before them in their hearts, remembering it for many years to come.

At that moment, Zhang Yang leaned against the car, watching Liao Kexin leave.

This trip to the Beijing has indeed been very fruitful.

The words "wealth and beauty" perfectly encapsulate what this trip yielded.

··

Over the next few days, Zhang Yang got busy.

The Huaying Film and Television Base is about to undergo a major renovation and upgrade, involving several years and tens of billions of yuan. It will even boost local employment and radiate to the surrounding film and entertainment industry, making it of great significance.

Zhang Yang, being alone, certainly couldn't fight this battle by himself.

The first and foremost task is to assemble a key team for the real estate development of the Huaying Film and Television Base.

The system reimburses all expenses for the renovation of Huaying Film and Television Base, including the cost of building a team. Therefore, Zhang Yang spares no expense in recruiting talent and is preparing to establish Beijing Huaying Investment Co., Ltd.. to be responsible for the overall development of the industrial park.

Immediately, many important talents in the domestic cultural tourism real estate field flocked to his cause.

The high salaries were one reason, but the allure of creating another Hollywood in the East was the second.

Because Zhang Yang's vision for the future was simply too grand.

Everything is geared towards the top.

It might just become another rising film and television base industrial park, following in the footsteps of Hengdian.

Another thing...

This massive project, worth tens of billions, is practically a giant ship, and naturally, countless people want to board it.

The main part of this project, without a doubt, will involve a state-owned construction group. Such a project even caught the attention of the current chairman of that state-owned construction group, who was personally invited by a vice-ministerial level official.

Secondly, Zhang Yang naturally wouldn't forget the Chen family, the biggest network he had built.

Chen Zhang's father's group company also has a construction company under it, and it's quite large. It has even built some well-known landmarks, so its strength should not be underestimated.

When I saw Chen's father again, the situation was different from before.

Although the first time was very polite and the other party was quite grateful, their statuses were not yet equal.

But this time, Zhang Yang is in charge of such a project, and even a small oversight could amount to billions.

Of course, Chen's father could no longer treat Zhang Yang as an elder; in business, treating each other as equals was essential.

For Zhang Yang, since he had to find someone to do the project anyway, it didn't matter who did it. The Chen family's company had all the necessary qualifications and was very powerful, plus there was his relationship with Chen Zhang.

Naturally, the Chen family was the second to board the ship.

The remaining projects, though smaller in scale, still amounted to a sum of nearly 10 billion. As a result, all sorts of young masters and noblemen, trying to get to know Zhang Yang through various roundabout means, came knocking on his door, begging to get on his bandwagon and ask him to help them make money.

Depending on the closeness of the relationship and the strength of the other party, Zhang Yang subcontracted a number of projects, each worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

Of course, although he has projects, he's not a sucker; he doesn't give money to just anyone.

The strict requirements are that they have all the necessary qualifications and the capability to take on projects, not just those who come here to freeload.

Secondly, he will consider giving projects to those who are worth befriending and whom he finds agreeable.

Some things should be refused, and that's the right thing to do.

As for offending people? Of course he's not afraid.

Do you think he's the same ignorant fool he used to be, now all rich and all that's left?

Such a huge industrial park, capable of driving local and even surrounding industries, naturally receives strong government support. Who would dare to cause trouble? Not to mention these second-generation rich kids who rely on their parents' legacy.

Now, with this industrial behemoth about to set sail, Zhang Yang has formed a powerful interest group, and he is now at the center of the circle, surrounded by admirers both in public and in private.

He, Zhang Yang, had gone from being "General Manager Zhang" and "Young Master Zhang" to being called "Brother Zhang" by these arrogant young men.

"Brother, Brother Zhang," Li Xingyu said shamelessly, following behind him.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yang looked at Li Xingyu, who was acting like a lackey, with amusement.

How did this once-good business partner gradually turn into his lackey, and even his number one lapdog?

"Didn't I tell you that the bar street area is your responsibility? If you have something to say, just say it."

"It's nothing," Li Xingyu said with a smile. "Brother, have you forgotten what day it is tomorrow?"

"What day is tomorrow?" Zhang Yang was slightly puzzled.

It was evening when Li Xingyu suddenly invited him to go to his friend's nightclub near the Workers' Stadium.

Throughout his journey, Li Xingyu maintained a mysterious demeanor.

The two walked into the nightclub.

"They're here! They're here!"

Happy birthday, Brother Zhang!

As soon as I stepped into the nightclub, I was immediately greeted by cheers and noise.

Zhang Yang stood there, drenched in confetti raining down from the sky. Before him stood a group of smiling boys, all from his network of connections in Beijing.

Every single one of them here is a genuine young master, not some charlatan.

But now, they all call him brother.

This feeling... it really is...

For a moment, Zhang Yang was in a daze.

Who am I? Where am I?

"Zhang Yang, you forgot, tomorrow is your birthday." Chen Zhang came up with a smile, hugged Zhang Yang first, and then whispered in his ear, "My sister won't be able to come on this occasion, but she asked me to send you her blessings."

"In this kind of situation?" Zhang Yang glanced at it.

Aside from these friends, there were no other boys present; the room was filled with beautiful women, all with slender waists and long legs.

"This is the ultimate version of the 'Kayan' game, no one's score is lower than eight. We're here to celebrate Brother Zhang's birthday," Li Xingyu said with a smile. "Happy birthday, Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yang has been so busy lately that he almost forgot his own birthday.

Unexpectedly, these guys remembered it and came up with such a unique way to celebrate his birthday.

An 8 out of 10 girl would be a stunning beauty anywhere, but here she's just another face in the crowd, so many that she's relegated to being just background scenery.

Tonight, the nightclub was simply turned into a special birthday event for him.

On and off the stage, there were all sorts of decorations and elements, including the large screen on the DJ Booth, which flashed his silhouette and image.

A moment later, a group of people surrounded Zhang Yang and led him directly to a booth where he sat down.

Several booths were quickly filled.

"Huh? These girls look familiar." Zhang Yang paused, glancing at the girls in the booth who were standing up somewhat shyly.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, take another good look. Does it look familiar?"

"Brother Zhang, have you forgotten? You liked a few posts from online celebrities on short videos the other day, so we got together and decided to invite them over to celebrate your birthday."

A group of people laughed.

Zhang Yang suddenly realized and remembered.

He did occasionally like videos of a few internet celebrities, and these were some of the most popular and influential figures on short video platforms. He never expected them to be invited here today.

Hmm, I almost didn't recognize her.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

"You are even more beautiful in person than in the photos..."

Several super popular female internet celebrities finally met today's protagonist, and they couldn't help but be dazzled and mesmerized.

Is this the main character for today?

They thought the man in the photos was the epitome of his charm, but these internet celebrities are well aware of the vast difference between photos and reality. Seeing him in person revealed that the photos couldn't even capture a fraction of his true allure.

Zhang Yang smiled, reached out and naturally embraced them on the left and right, accepting their kindness with a smile.

These top online influencers look pretty much the same offline as they do online, and their looks are still great. However, without that filter, it feels like something's missing; it's just about creating a sense of novelty and excitement.

Just imagine, scrolling through their short videos while having women on either side of you and discussing the content—it's actually quite interesting.

"Brother, there are too many people around, so let's not invite any celebrities. Next time it's your birthday, I'll get you a few minor stars." Li Xingyu whispered with a smile.

"I appreciate the thought," Zhang Yang said with a smile, without saying anything.

The entire nightclub was filled with girls, yet the atmosphere remained incredibly lively.

Moreover, it seems that without those idle boys around, the girls are actually having more fun and enjoying themselves more.

The DJ Booth are specially invited from among the world's top 100 DJs.

The backup dancers were girls from a girl group who hadn't debuted yet.

On the dance floor below the stage, the girls sipped their drinks, swaying to the rhythm of the music, occasionally glancing at the star of the day, their thoughts drifting away.

"Come on, one by one, don't rush, give gifts to each one in turn."

Everyone smiled and presented Zhang Yang with the birthday gifts they had prepared.

Million-dollar watches, crystal-clear imperial green jewelry, calligraphy and paintings by celebrities bought at auctions, and even ginseng from Changbai Mountain said to be over a hundred years old...

This old ginseng is said to have the effects of promoting the production of body fluids and blood, greatly replenishing vital energy, and strengthening the body's foundation.

However, Zhang Yang already had pills from the system, and their effects were far superior, so he could only express his gratitude and accept them with a smile.

In fact, these young masters had already come up with numerous tricks to curry favor with Zhang Yang and to thank him for the projects he had given them.

Give the girl a thank-you gift.

Even now, several supercars are still parked in the Beijing Manor. Although they are not supercars worth tens of millions, they range from Lamborghini to Ferrari, and they are lined up in a row.

As for what Zhang Yang gave...

These are projects with an average cost of several hundred million yuan per person, and a portion of the advance payment has already been made.

With the system backing him up, Zhang Yang could keep his hundreds of millions of yuan in cash flowing in and out without diverting any of his own business cash flow. The system would give it back to him, and the cycle would continue, continuously investing it into the various projects at Huaying Film and Television Base.

"Brother Zhang, I got you an apartment in the Fanyue. It's not big, just over 100 square meters, perfect for keeping a mistress." Li Xingyu had also prepared a thoughtful birthday gift for you.

"Thanks for this," Zhang Yang chuckled.

The value of the gift goes without saying.

After all, Fanyue is a popular residential complex, and this 100-odd square meter property is worth nearly 20 million yuan, so it's quite significant.

But mainly... it's at Fanyue's place; Tian Chuxi's residence in Beijing is there.

So, after all this, we ended up being neighbors?

Just don't let her misunderstand that you deliberately bought it there.

"Zhang Yang, guess what I've prepared for you? You'll never guess," Chen Zhang, who had been sitting to the side, suddenly said with a smile.

"What is it?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"Haha, Brother Chen always comes up with unique ideas and never does anything fancy or frivolous. And it definitely won't be the same as what we're sending," one of the young masters laughed. "It must be something truly one-of-a-kind."

"Not the world, but the heavens." Chen Zhang cut to the chase. "Cessna CJ4. Wishing my good brother a bright future and great success."

"Holy crap!"

A gasp of amazement immediately erupted from the crowd.

Zhang Yang blinked, but knew that this was a gift from Chen Zhang's father, sent to him through his son.
