Chapter 1073 1072: Southern Suburbs
Throughout the way, Hu Yashu was preoccupied and had no interest in continuing shopping with them, so she returned to First-Grade Kingdom.
Once back home, Hu Yashu went to the room, closed the door, and said to Ye Liangcai with a serious face, "Brother Ye, guess who I ran into today?"
Ye Liangcai looked at Hu Yashu with confusion, "Could it be you saw Xinxin?"
"No! It's not Xinxin, take a guess!" Hu Yashu said, "You absolutely won't guess who it is!"
Ye Liangcai gave a bitter smile, secretly thinking that she knew very well he couldn't guess, so why ask him to guess?
However, he naturally didn't dare say that, and after a brief consideration, he said, "Could it be Elder Zhou of Ancheng? Or maybe Elder Zou? They're both in Ancheng."
"No!" Hu Yashu shook her head and said.
"Then who could it be?" Ye Liangcai frowned and thought.
"Forget it!" Hu Yashu waved her hand and said, "You definitely won't guess it, even I can hardly believe it, and even now I'm not sure!"
Looking at Hu Yashu's expression, Ye Liangcai became even more curious.
"This thing is so long ago, I'm not sure if you still remember, it's almost twenty years…"
Ye Liangcai raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit shocked as he looked at Hu Yashu.
...
In the company.
Yang Chen had been spending a lot of time at the company lately, fearing that if he were absent, the Asura Hall youths would turn the company upside down.
In just a few days, there had already been several incidents of women fighting out of jealousy.
It's bad enough they attract the company's ladies.
What bothers Yang Chen the most is that they even attract ladies from other companies, leading many women to wait here with breakfast for them in the morning.
During lunch break, many women wait at the entrance to dine with them.
In the evening, many women await to go out for late night snacks after work, what occurs afterwards is unknown.
The key point is, Yang Chen found their privately purchased apartment building mostly unoccupied, with no one to be found in the building!
Towards these Teddy-like acts of the Asura Hall members, Yang Chen had chosen to turn a blind eye, as long as they don't cause trouble.
What really worries Yang Chen is Ye Xin's situation.
It's been almost a week since the banquet ended, yet Left Envoy Yang hasn't made any move; could it be the photos left no impression on Ye Xin and failed to trigger her memories?
Even if unable to restore Left Envoy Yang's memories, shouldn't there be curiosity or doubt? Shouldn't she at least come to ask?
Yang Chen has been unable to hold back until now.
Calling Night Fire in, Yang Chen asks, "How's it going with the Nine Families?"
Night Fire says, "Zhang Yiran mentioned they have already started integrating, should be done this week, then proceed with unified operations to form a group company."
Yang Chen frowned slightly, thinking Left Envoy Yang might have focused her attention on company integration recently.
Night Fire continues, "Additionally, Zhang Yiran asked me to tell you to watch Nine Venerables Group's movements, although the Nine Families have come out with insignificant small companies, but once integrated, it'll be quite terrifying, posing a strong impact on Longyu Group."
Yang Chen waves slightly, indifferent.
He believes Left Envoy Yang would not do such things, even if Housekeeper Zhang or Cloud Seventh Young Master got involved, they wouldn't be able to shake Longyu Group.
Because behind Longyu Group is Golden Avenue, and the massive power controlled by Leonard!
Thinking about it, Yang Chen hands over a document to Night Fire, "Send this material to Zhou Huiqing, tell her to be prepared, those lands in the southern suburbs must be acquired tomorrow!"
"Understood!" Night Fire takes the document and leaves.
Yang Chen frowned and said, "Looks like after this auction ends, I need to visit Cloud Mist Mountain."
...
On Cloud Mist Mountain.
A stack of documents is piled up on Left Envoy Yang's desk, waiting for her to process.
However, she's not seated at the desk at this moment, instead, she's standing by the window with coffee in hand, looking out at the view, her brows slightly furrowed, "Why haven't you come to find me? Am I really going to have to ask you myself?"
After speaking, Left Envoy Yang glanced at the desk filled with documents, sighed lightly, rubbed her brows, and said, "Let's strive to finish this tonight, seems I also need to go out and inquire."
...
Neither of the two knew the other's thoughts.
In the evening.
Back at First-Grade Kingdom, Yang Chen naturally prepared a lot of ingredients.
King crabs, yellow croakers, lobsters, bluefin tunas…
A sumptuous feast showcasing Yang Chen's culinary skills perfectly, leaving Ye Liangcai and Hu Yashu in admiration.
However, at the dinner table, Ye Liangcai and Hu Yashu seemed hesitant to speak.
Ultimately, aside from casual chit-chat, they didn't say much.
Returning to the room, Ye Liangcai frowned and said, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Hu Yashu worriedly replied, "I fear what if I'm mistaken, you know how Yang Chen…"
Ye Liangcai sighed, understanding his partner's concerns, sternly said, "Then let's not say anything yet, better to confirm further to avoid unnecessary embarrassment."
"Yes, I think so too." Hu Yashu immediately nodded.
This is no small matter for them, and it's certainly a huge deal for Yang Chen.
...
The next day.
South Suburban Real Estate Auction.
This area is known as Nangang Bay and is highly regarded by many.
The traffic here is convenient, with a fast road leading straight to the city center, only a twenty-minute drive; and close to New City, taking the viaduct, you can reach New City in half an hour.
This place is set to become a new landmark.
As before, Ancheng's real estate companies, along with those from outside intending to enter Ancheng, have come here.
This time, Yang Chen and the others arrived relatively early, but didn't get out of the car, instead waiting inside.
Zhou Huiqing read aloud from the material, "The lands in the southern suburbs this time are different from those near North Ring; North Ring is part of the city, making it difficult for external companies to enter. But the southern suburbs are outlying and close to New City, well-connected, and near the highway entrance, making it a stronghold connecting other cities. So many real estate merchants have cast their eyes here."
"Currently, known companies to be wary of include five companies, respectively Hengdu Real Estate, Dayang Real Estate, Wansheng Real Estate, Baisheng Real Estate, Yunyang Real Estate; These real estate companies have a total asset size of over tens of billions, with large-scale operations across the country, having high brand recognition and popularity, their housing is trusted by the public. As of now, these companies haven't entered Ancheng, they likely see the southern suburbs land as a springboard to enter Ancheng!"
Yang Chen listened, nodding slightly.
But suddenly, he felt a tremor in his heart, instinctively turning his head towards the door. Despite the flow of people at the entrance, Yang Chen had an unusually strange feeling, a sudden unease.
