100: Chapter 100, Brother Tong, don't break down!
Zhao Sihan had been very quiet and well-behaved while Su Ye and the others were talking earlier, just standing to the side with a smile. She only spoke a little when Wang Shanshan and Yu Xiaoxiao's mother chatted with her, and she was very tactful in her speech, which made both of them like Zhao Sihan very much. Su Ye had overheard them making plans to go for beauty treatments and even wanting Zhao Sihan to take them to practice yoga.
Once they got into the car, Zhao Sihan grabbed Su Ye's face and turned it towards her. Her rosy lips pecked at his face like a chick pecking at rice, covering him in lipstick marks.
"Old Su, that kick of yours today was so manly. You're a big hero today, so I'm rewarding you: Valentino tonight."
As she spoke, Zhao Sihan raised her right hand and held up three fingers.
"Three pieces—red, black, and white. I'll definitely make you fly!"
Without a word, Su Ye took out his phone and started looking at it.
Zhao Sihan asked curiously, "What are you looking at? Aren't you happy?"
Su Ye didn't even look up as he tapped a few times on his phone screen. A broadcast came from the car: "Departing. The nearest Hilton Hotel has been found. The total distance is thirteen kilometers, taking approximately twenty minutes..."
Zhao Sihan's eyes went wide.
Su Ye quickly shifted gears, released the electronic parking brake, and slammed his foot down on the accelerator.
"Vroom—" A beast-like roar erupted, and the car transformed into a dark red streak of light in the setting sun, speeding off into the distance.
At 9:30 PM, inside the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, the carpet was in a mess, and Zhao Sihan lay panting on Su Ye's muscular chest.
"No—I can't do it anymore. You're a total beast. I can't take it anymore; I think I'll need a week to recover this time."
Su Ye picked up a cigarette from the bedside table, lit it, and took a deep drag.
"I don't know who was clamoring earlier, saying they would definitely make my legs go weak today?"
Zhao Sihan feigned ignorance and said, "Who—who said that? I didn't say that. My legs are the ones that truly have no strength left now."
Su Ye gave Zhao Sihan a mischievous look: "Then shall I carry you to take a bath?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sihan immediately pushed herself up with force, not caring about the beautiful scenery she was revealing.
"Don't, I'll do it myself. I'm afraid I'll die in there."
She then dragged her weak legs, steadying herself against the headboard as she walked toward the bathroom.
Su Ye chuckled to himself: 'Little brat, let's see if you dare to be arrogant in the future.'
Afterward, he picked up his phone from the bedside table and looked at the message Chen Ze had just sent him.
A few minutes later, he put the phone down. Su Ye hadn't expected the Yu Family to be so extraordinary.
Yu Chen's father was the chairman of the Chengdu Federation of Industry and Commerce in his early years. Even though he had retired for over a decade, his influence there was still significant, not to mention that the current vice-chairman was Yu Chen.
Many people might not know about the Chengdu Federation of Industry and Commerce, but it is a local branch of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, established in 1953. As of last year, the Chengdu Federation of Industry and Commerce had 20 district (city) and county federations, 135 directly affiliated chambers of commerce, and 320 grassroots organizations such as township and street sub-branches (chambers of commerce). The entire city's federation system had over 60,000 members, with members from the non-public sector accounting for over 90%. In this part of Sichuan Province, if they stomped their feet, it would cause an earthquake.
Furthermore, the Yu Family previously worked in real estate-related industries. They developed quite a few housing projects in Chengdu in the past, and now they also own many clubs, commercial KTVs, nightclubs, supermarkets, and shopping malls that use their group's properties. Their assets are higher than those of Chaoyang Group, though they have recently been transitioning toward property management and elderly care services. Regardless, they are firmly established as a local powerhouse in Chengdu.
Next is Yu Chen's younger brother, the director of the Chengdu Municipal Administration for Market Regulation, a bureau-level (deputy-prefectural level) official. He has just turned forty, and with the Yu Family's background, it can be said that his future entry into the ministry is guaranteed.
Yu Chen's wife is also extraordinary. Her father is a prefectural-level official and the head of the Sichuan Province Department of Culture and Tourism, while her brother is the second-in-command at the Department of Culture and Tourism in another province. If there are no surprises, he will return to take over after the old man retires.
Given the current scale of the Yu Family, they are top-tier figures in both the political and business circles of Sichuan Province.
Sighing with emotion, Su Ye then cast it to the back of his mind. After all, the Yu Family was not a System connection; he had to rely on himself to get to know and maintain the relationship. There was no marker for favorability, so Su Ye couldn't tell. After all, haven't you seen how many people smile to your face while cursing you internally?
If it were a connection within the System, it would be different. As long as it reached 90, it basically wouldn't drop, even if they didn't contact each other for over a decade.
Thinking of this, Su Ye remembered that he hadn't collected his reward regarding Chen Ze yet, so he hurriedly opened the System: [R7-level task completed, reward being settled...]
Suddenly, the screen flickered, and a bunch of digital mosaics appeared. [Emergency! Emergency! The original R7-level connection target was upgraded to an R5-level task target half an hour ago.] [System BUG patching—patch failed—patching again—logic error—causality module maintenance—]
Su Ye was completely stunned. "Hey, System bro, what's going on? Don't die on me! Can't I just not take the reward?"
He figured it must be because Chen Chaoyang transferred shares to Chen Ze tonight, causing Chen Ze's net worth to skyrocket. Aside from that, Su Ye couldn't think of any reason why Chen Ze's net worth would suddenly surge by tens of billions.
Theoretically, a share transfer requires holding a shareholders' meeting and obtaining the consent of more than half of the shareholders. However, this was basically no difficulty in the Chen Family. The Chen Family controlled 40% of the shares themselves, and later Chen Chaoyang reclaimed another 8%, which was close to half.
Don't forget that outside of the Chen Family, almost half of the remaining shares of the Chaoyang Group were in the hands of the Chen Family's relatives, so there was basically no issue, leading to Chen Ze's actual net worth now exceeding ten billion.
But joking aside, don't mess with the System. Don't crash my System bro, hey.
[System patch complete—] Seeing the new pop-up window appear, Su Ye let out a long sigh of relief.
[After the system patch, this situation will not happen again, please rest assured, Host.] [The R7-level connection task is now upgraded to an R5-level connection task. The reward is settled according to the R6-level limit (it was originally an R5-level connection task, but the system has not been upgraded, so it can only issue an R6-level reward at most).] [The system detected a current level logic conflict. The Host does not have intermediate permissions. Cannot accept the R6-level connection task.] [System self-check... Self-check complete. Using administrator privileges to forcibly upgrade the Host to intermediate permissions.] [Settling R6-level connection task for the Host.] [Reward settlement complete. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining——————]
