A tall man got out of the car and bowed respectfully to him.
"Dragon King!"
"Dragon Fang, how are things progressing?" Ye Chen asked calmly.
An aura of authority unique to those in power emanated from him, putting pressure on the man before him.
The man he called Dragon Fang was one of the eight generals of the Dragon Soul Organization!
Due to his ugly appearance, loyalty, and business acumen, he had earned Ye Chen's complete trust!
He would take Dragon Fang wherever he went.
Firstly, for convenience.
Secondly, to use his ugliness to highlight his own handsomeness!
Dragon Fang quickly reported.
"Your Majesty, Black Stone Group has been successfully acquired and renamed to Dragon Morning Group."
A few days ago, after Huajin Investment suffered major losses, the Dragon King recalled him from Europe back to China.
He mobilized a staggering 500 billion in funds to successfully acquire Black Stone Group in Su Hang.
The Dragon Soul Organization's influence ran unfathomably deep!
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen said,
"Then I'll leave it to you to manage. I don't want to reveal my identity too soon."
"Thank you for your trust, Dragon King. I will manage Dragon Morning Group well," Dragon Fang said excitedly with clasped hands.
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.
This Su Hang was different from what he had imagined - staying low-key would make progress too slow!
He decided to speed up his conquest of Su Hang!
Dragon Morning Group was just his vanguard!
"Dragon Fang, in three days I want to hold a birthday party for my woman."
"Use your position as head of Dragon Morning Group to book the top floor of Moonlight Hotel."
"After booking it, spread the news so all of Su Hang knows that Dragon Morning Group's boss is holding a birthday celebration for his lover."
"Also, help the Su family secure that piece of land in the west of the city. Let the Su family see my capabilities."
"If anyone opposes, death awaits them!"
Ye Chen commanded imperiously.
"I accept the mission!" Dragon Fang clasped his hands, his eyes glinting coldly - anyone who dared obstruct the Dragon King would be eliminated!
...
Moonlight Hotel.
This seven-star hotel, Su Hang's only one of its kind, could be called the city's landmark.
The hotel consisted of two curved towers connected by an arched structure in the center.
From afar, the hotel looked like a giant ring standing on the lake, incorporating Chinese elements of harmony between heaven and earth.
Every night, the entire hotel would reflect in the lake water like a bright moon, creating a breathtaking sight.
"Not bad, the system's reward is quite decent this time, suggesting double rewards next time."
Tang Yu, driving his car while looking at the hotel that now belonged to him, was quite satisfied.
Following the dog system through so many book transmigrations, this reward was indeed quite generous.
But such sudden generosity made him feel something wasn't quite right.
When he drove to the hotel, the general manager Wang Defa was already waiting at the entrance.
"Young Master Tang."
Seeing Tang Yu get out of the car, he quickly came over and bowed in greeting.
"Manager Wang, no need to be so formal."
Tang Yu smiled and patted his shoulder.
After the system transferred the hotel to his name, it thoughtfully replaced the management team with Tang family people.
"Young Master Tang, shall I show you around first?"
Wang Defa made an inviting gesture.
Tang Yu nodded and followed Wang Defa on a tour of the hotel.
As soon as he entered the hotel, the massive crystal chandelier caught Tang Yu's attention.
The entire lobby was built with yellow crystal and various jade stones, achieving the ultimate in luxury and grandeur.
Wang Defa led Tang Yu through various hotel facilities, finally arriving at the hot springs.
The hotel had over a hundred hot spring pools.
Among them were more than forty hot spring villas, frequently visited by Su Hang's wealthy.
He pointed to one villa and asked,
"Young Master Tang, should we reserve some hot spring villas for private use?"
"One is enough."
Tang Yu nodded with a smile.
"Alright, I'll make arrangements. From now on, this hot spring villa won't be open to the public."
Wang Defa nodded, and after touring the hot springs, they returned to the general manager's office.
They had barely sat down, and Wang Defa hadn't even finished preparing tea when his secretary rushed in.
"Manager Wang, Dragon Morning Group's representative is here at our hotel, saying they want to book the top floor for a birthday celebration."
The secretary reported.
"Book the top floor?"
Wang Defa raised an eyebrow.
The top floor of Moonlight Hotel was one of the hotel's main attractions.
Due to its excellent views, distinguished guests came to dine there every day.
Booking the entire top floor for one person would surely offend other customers.
Just as he was about to refuse, Tang Yu suddenly asked,
"Dragon Morning Group?"
"Yes, Dragon Morning Group - it was called Black Stone Group until recently, changed its name after being acquired."
The secretary quickly answered.
Black Stone Group was famous in Su Hang, and after its sudden acquisition, many people were curious.
Who was this dragon crossing the river with such impressive financial power!
To spend 500 billion to buy such a large company!
Tang Yu immediately cursed internally.
Damn, isn't this the plot from chapter 95 of the original book?
In that chapter, Ye Chen stops pretending to be weak and starts gradually showing his power.
To prove himself to the Su family, he books the never-before-reserved top floor of Moonlight Hotel to throw a grand birthday party for Su Muyue!
At that birthday party, the Su family members were all humiliated, and no one dared look down on him anymore!
Su Muyue was also conquered by his romantic gesture, falling completely for him!
After taking over the Su family, his influence in Su Hang grew increasingly powerful! He then began working on absorbing the Tang family!
"Damn system, you're screwing with me again, aren't you?"
Tang Yu cursed silently in his heart.
He knew there had to be a catch when the system suddenly became so generous.
According to the original plot, Ye Chen sends Dragon Fang to book the top floor for Su Muyue's birthday party.
The hotel manager stubbornly refuses to break the rules.
So Dragon Fang grabs the manager by the throat, threatening him with death.
Accept, or die!
With one foot in the grave, the hotel manager realizes this is someone he can't afford to offend and has to agree!
So now the pressure has fallen on him.
If they don't agree, given Dragon Fang's mad dog personality, he'll definitely use any means necessary to make them comply.
But agreeing would also be troublesome.
If they let Ye Chen successfully win over Su Muyue, the Su family would become part of his power base.
Combined with Dragon Morning Group and other forces, the Tang family and his own situation would become very dangerous.
Death either way - there's no way to lay low anymore.
Need to think of a way to cause some trouble.
But personally stirring up trouble would be somewhat dangerous.
After taking a deep breath, his gaze fell on Wang Defa.
If he remembered correctly, this guy had quite a talent for being a traitor.
One of the settings for villains in web novels was that their subordinates were always good at causing trouble.
Wang Defa was no exception.
So Tang Yu felt this was a great opportunity for him to showcase his talents.
"What is it, Young Master Tang?"
Noticing Tang Yu's strange look, Wang Defa quickly came over with a smile and asked.
"Manager Wang, I think we can agree to book the top floor, but we absolutely cannot let the birthday party succeed. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang Yu said with a sly smile and a wink.
If the birthday party succeeds, following the original plot would lead to certain death.
If they refuse, that beast Dragon Fang would be troublesome.
Since that's the case, let Wang Defa show what he can do.
With this traitor's intuition, it would surely have an unexpected effect - let the Dragon King tremble in fear.
"Alright."
Wang Defa nodded, still somewhat confused.
What did Young Master Tang mean?
If they didn't want to agree, couldn't they just refuse directly?
Somewhat puzzled, he left the office and went to the reception room to meet Dragon Fang who was waiting.
"How should I address you, sir? I'm Wang Defa, the hotel manager."
Wang Defa approached Dragon Fang with a smile to shake hands.
Dragon Fang shook Wang Defa's hand with an arrogant expression.
"My name is Dragon Fang. My boss wants to throw a birthday party for his woman, Miss Su Muyue. How much to book your top floor? Name your price."
He had heard about Moonlight Hotel's rules - the top floor wasn't available for private bookings.
But the Dragon King had given his orders!
What the Dragon King wants must be done!
He was prepared to teach them a lesson, to let Moonlight Hotel know there are some people they can't refuse!
Those who defy the Dragon King - death!
Wang Defa's expression instantly darkened.
Miss Su is their boss's woman?
What's going on? So he's here to compete with Young Master Tang for a woman?
He quickly figured it out.
No wonder Young Master Tang wanted him to agree first and then sabotage it - it was to deliberately make the other party lose face?
"Here's my chance to make it big."
Wang Defa smiled smugly to himself and readily agreed.
"Dragon President, right? Hello, our Moonlight Hotel is eager to establish good relations with your company, so we're making an exception this time by opening up the top floor for lease, and we won't charge any fees!"
Wang Defa's attitude surprised Dragon Fang.
He quickly understood why though.
It must be that the presence of Dragon Morning Group made them eager to curry favor.
After all, anyone with half a brain would understand what it means when someone makes a bold five hundred billion acquisition of a company.
Someone capable of such a move must have unfathomable power!
"Since your hotel shows such sincerity, I'll accept this friendship on behalf of Dragon Morning Group. I'll send the birthday party proposal to President Wang later."
Dragon Fang said with satisfaction.
"Yes, yes, of course."
Wang Defa agreed with a smile, and both of them were grinning like children who'd just gotten candy.
After both parties confirmed the arrangement, Wang Defa hurried back to report to Tang Yu.
Upon learning that everything had been settled.
Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Trying to trap me, you stupid system?
With my superior intellect and capable subordinates like these, how could a mere system hope to deal with me?
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
