Ye Chen's eyes changed slightly, his expression a bit strange.
Speaking of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School, he had some feelings for it. After all, it was the first school he entered after ten years of life and death experience, and it was considered the starting point for his new beginning ten years later.
There, he met Peng Liang and got to know Xiao Wenyue and others. Whether it was pleasant or unpleasant, it was a journey.
When he heard about the anniversary of No. 3 Middle School, he was surprised at first, and then felt a little funny.
Although he is only twenty years old, the people he deals with now are almost all old monsters who have dominated the world and have lived for tens or hundreds of years. For him, these so-called high school students may have graduated from the same class as him.
My classmates are just little brats.
How could he have the time to spend some kind of school anniversary event with a group of children?
Moreover, even if he is willing to go, given his current status and status, it is obviously not appropriate to return to school.
Hearing Ye Chen's silence, Xiao Wenyue suddenly sighed on the other end of the phone.
"I knew you didn't want to go. I just wanted to give it a try when I called you. But as expected, I guessed right!"
"With your current status, you have already set your sights on the international world. Why would you care about the centenary anniversary of a small school?"
There was a hint of self-deprecation in Xiao Wenyue's tone. She had indeed made up her mind to follow Ye Chen in her life and never regret it, but many times, she would feel helpless.
Ye Chen has gone too far and stood too high, to the point where she is unattainable. Watching Ye Chen reach the sky step by step, she herself can only live in a corner of the school, at best.
The difference between being a student manager or a cadre is huge.
The stronger Ye Chen becomes, the more insignificant she feels. For this centenary anniversary, the school invites them, outstanding students who have graduated from No. 3 Middle School, to return to school to participate in the celebration. The first thing she thinks of is Ye Chen. She hopes
Ye Chen can also appear in the school celebration.
But Ye Chen's silence made her immediately realize that Ye Chen was different from them. He was already above the nine heavens and was an undefeated emperor! "Forget it, I'll go with Jingjing for the school anniversary. You can't come.
We’ll take some photos and send them to you!”
Xiao Wenyue gathered her emotions and her voice became much lighter, but she still couldn't hide her disappointment.
"You should go to bed early and I won't disturb you for now. I have to get up early to catch a flight tomorrow!"
She said that and was about to hang up the phone when Ye Chen suddenly spoke.
"Tomorrow, right?"
When Xiao Wenyue heard this, her voice became a little excited, and she felt that something was going on.
"Yes, it's tomorrow. Do you have time?"
Ye Chen touched his nose and then replied: "I'm not sure if I can go there. If I have time tomorrow, I will go there and have a look!"
Xiao Wenyue on the other end of the phone sat up directly on the bed, looking very happy.
She knew that if Ye Chen said these words, it would happen nine times out of ten. This was already a huge relief for Ye Chen.
"Okay, Jingjing and I are one of the representatives of this school celebration. Tomorrow we will go and let the school arrange the seats for you. Then you can just come directly!"
Ye Chen was noncommittal, said "hmm", and then hung up the phone.
In the girls' dormitory of Beijing University, Xiao Wenyue had just hung up the phone. She was a little sleepy at first, but immediately lost all sleepiness and looked very excited.
She quickly dialed Li Jingjing's phone number and almost lowered her voice and said, "Jingjing, did you know that there is a heavyweight who is willing to attend the school anniversary with us tomorrow!"
"It's Ye Chen. He's back to the capital. He said he would go to No. 3 Middle School if he has time tomorrow!"
"No way?"
Li Jingjing's tone was full of astonishment and she said in shock, "He is actually willing to attend the school anniversary?"
In her eyes, Ye Chen is a divine dragon in the sky, a figure who sweeps everything. She just finds it incredible that such a contemporary legend would be willing to step into a high school campus again.
The two women were chatting passionately on the phone and getting out of control, but Ye Chen had already fallen asleep on the sofa in the suite on the top floor of Lingtian Group.
One night passed, and at 10:30 the next morning, Ye Chen boarded a flight to Lucheng, Sichuan Province. Along the way, Ye Chen ignored the teasings of several beautiful flight attendants. Three hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Lucheng Airport.
landing.
After setting foot on the land of Lucheng, Ye Chen looked around the airport and always felt a sense of intimacy and nostalgia. This was his first stop where he became famous all over the world. After a year and a half, he finally returned here.
"I wonder how Aunt He is doing!"
Ever since Ye Chen knocked down the Feng family in Guicheng, Guizhou Province and terminated Xiao Wenyue's forced marriage contract, he had no contact with He Minhui and only met Xiao Wenyue a few times in the capital. For He Minhui,
He really didn't know much about how Minhui's family was doing.
He Minhui was Ye Chen's respected elder and semi-benefactor. He secretly decided to buy some things after going to the underground auction house and go to Villa No. 1 in Banpo to see He Minhui.
After leaving the airport, Ye Chen got into the special car arranged by Wu Guangfu for him. The driver was Wu Guangfu's top confidant, Ahu.
Since Wu Guangfu left Lucheng and worked for the Lingtian Group, Wu Guangfu has left the entire Sichuan Province underground to his son Wu Lingxuan to take care of it and act as his spokesperson. However, in actual fact, all powers are controlled by Ahu personally.
.
Ah Hu is now the underground leader of Sichuan Province, and his status is completely different from before. Even the chairman of the top company in Sichuan Province would politely offer tea and call him "Brother Tiger" when they meet him.
.
Although Ah Hu is in a high position, at this moment, he is conscientiously playing the role of driver for Ye Chen, looking like an obedient horse boy.
It was only when he stood higher up that he understood how terrifying Ye Chen was. Not only did he have no complaints about driving for Ye Chen, he was actually grateful and wished he could be by Ye Chen's side all the time.
"Chairman, where should we go first?"
Ahu respectfully asked Ye Chen while driving.
“Go directly to Haoyuan Hotel!”
According to the reliable information collected by Wu Guangfu, Haoyuan Hotel is the location of tomorrow's underground auction, and the home venue of the auction is in the secretly built basement of Haoyuan Hotel.
Haoyuan Hotel has a history of nearly a hundred years in Lucheng. It is said that this hotel already existed in the late Qing Dynasty. It was called "Haoyuan Inn" at that time. This name continued for hundreds of years until the beginning of the 21st century.
, with the rise of the hotel industry, it was just renamed Haoyuan Hotel.
When it comes to qualifications, Haoyuan Hotel is definitely the leader among more than a dozen hotels in Lucheng. It is unparalleled. But when it comes to popularity, Haoyuan Hotel seems to be unknown. It is even inferior to some emerging hotels. It has no publicity or exposure at all.
.
But for hundreds of years, Haoyuan Hotel has remained standing.
At this moment, inside the Haoyuan Hotel, two young men in suits and leather shoes were walking out side by side, with a bit of displeasure on their faces.
"The person in charge of Haoyuan Hotel is really bad-tempered. To put it bluntly, he doesn't agree with our investment. At my expense, he even specially set aside 100 million yuan to make a big splash in the hotel industry!"
Among them, the young man in a plain suit spat dissatisfiedly. Then he looked at the young man next to him and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen Guang, why don't we come back tomorrow? If the person in charge of the hotel still doesn't agree to our investment, then
We will use the influence of the five hotels owned by you and me to jointly put pressure on them, and we don’t have to worry about them not agreeing!”
The young man next to him, with an upright posture and a handsome face, was none other than Li Chenguang, who had had many conflicts with Ye Chen in the past.
More than a year later, he seems to have lost all his glory, and his eyes are less calculated and impetuous, and more profound and strategizing.
After hearing the young man's words, Li Chenguang was slightly silent, and then waved his hand.
"Brother Liu, let's not rush into this matter for now, let's discuss it in the long run!"
"Haoyuan Hotel is dilapidated and backward. Its facilities and hardware are not as good as other hotels, even some two-star hotels. However, it has been there for hundreds of years. Obviously there is something unimaginable behind it.
Background and funding!”
"Before you understand clearly, you must not force yourself!"
Although the young man was arrogant, he obeyed Li Chenguang's words. Although he was a little unwilling to do so, he still nodded.
The two of them had been walking outside the hotel gate. At this moment, a stretched Lincoln slowly drove over.
In the driver's seat, the driver got out of the car first, then opened the back seat door, and a young and tall figure stepped out, causing Li Chenguang and the two to glance away.
Just at this glance, all the calmness and composure on Li Chenguang's face disappeared.
His face was shaken, he could hardly believe his eyes, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
