Liang Chenglong and the others went back to their respective places.

Long Pingting was also busy with the establishment of Zhonglong Company.

Chen Yun drove his Bentley back to the Shu Corporation.

It was right at lunchtime when I was leaving get off work.

He carried the food he had packed from the Guolong Hotel and went straight to Shu Tangyin's office.

The office door was open.

Shu Tangyin was looking at documents and showed no intention of leaving get off work for dinner!

Chen Yun walked to the desk and tapped it.

Knock knock!

Shu Tangyin looked up and saw Chen Yun. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "Chen Yun, didn't you say you had a social engagement with friends today? Why are you at the company again?"

Chen Yun placed the takeout food from the Guolong Hotel on his desk and scolded, "If I didn't come, how would I know you weren't eating on time again?"

Shu Tangyin gave Chen Yun a playful smile: "I was thinking of finishing up this work before going to eat, but I didn't expect you to come."

Chen Yun said, "Stop making excuses. I know you too well. You say you'll eat after you finish your work, but you never stop when you get busy, and in the end you don't even eat lunch!"

He opened several lunchboxes, took out a pair of chopsticks, and handed them to her: "Eat up!"

"Um!"

Shu Tangyin took the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

When she saw that the food in front of her included expensive seafood such as shark fin and abalone, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "My God, why did you pack so much food, and all of it is seafood? What a waste of money!"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Boss Liang Chenglong and the others treated us to dinner, and I just packed the leftovers. There was no waste."

Actually, this was lunch that Chen Yun instructed the head chef of Guolong Hotel to make for Shu Tangyin. However, knowing that Shu Tangyin had become frugal in recent years and could not stand extravagance, he lied and said it was food packed from a dinner party.

Shu Tangyin believed her and giggled, "I was wondering why there were so many delicacies. It turns out you packed them up from the dinner party. Not bad, not bad, you know how to manage money!"

After saying that, he happily started eating.

Chen Yun smiled without saying a word.

After lunch, Shu Tangyin had to get back to work.

Chen Yun had no choice but to return to the security department so as not to disturb Shu Tangyin's work, intending to secretly take a nap in his office.

But as soon as he returned to the security department, he saw Laifu and Crazy chatting.

Lai Fu said in surprise, "Brother Crazy, the HR department just asked us to submit some documents to process our insurance. I glanced at your documents and realized it's your birthday today!"

While working out his arm strength with dumbbells, the madman casually remarked, "Oh, really? I'd completely forgotten when my birthday is!"

Laifu smiled and said, "It's your birthday today, do you want to celebrate?"

The madman said calmly, "There's no need. I've never celebrated my birthday since I was a child. Now that I'm all alone, what's there to celebrate?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Chen Yun walked in from outside and smiled, "A lonely person like me should celebrate my birthday even more. Let's have a good celebration with our friends!"

When Laifu and the madman saw Chen Yun, they both stood up and greeted him, "Brother Chen!"

Chen Yun laughed and said, "Crazy, since it's your birthday today, let's find a place to celebrate after get off work tonight... Hmm, how about the Guolong Hotel? It's our own place, so it's convenient! We can invite Lin Le and Tang Yin over too, to make it more lively."

The madman hesitated for a moment: "Brother Chen, is it necessary? I never celebrate my birthday..."

Chen Yun said, "If I say it's necessary, then it's necessary. What's the point of celebrating your birthday all alone? It's much more lively when you're with a group of people! By the way, isn't Xu Feiyan, the HR manager, always a fan of yours? Invite her along too. Who knows, after tonight, your relationship might take a leap forward and you might even become a couple!"

The madman blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him, and said awkwardly, "Brother Chen, what are you saying? Xiao Yan and I are just ordinary friends..."

Chen Yun laughed and said, "Look at you, you're even calling her Xiao Yan, and you still call her just a friend!"

"I don't care anymore, just invite her. We'll all meet at the Guolong Hotel at 8 PM tonight!"

The madman blushed and remained silent, which was taken as tacit acceptance of Chen Yun's arrangement.

Just then, a crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out, followed by a fragrant aroma, and then Shu Lingyue's voice was heard: "Chen Yun, what do you mean by meeting at the Guolong Hotel at eight o'clock? You have something to do but didn't invite me?"

Chen Yun turned his head and saw Shu Lingyue, wearing a pink top and an apricot-colored tight-fitting pencil skirt, walking in gracefully in black high heels with red soles.

Chen Yun said irritably, "Today is Crazy's birthday, and everyone is planning to celebrate tonight. You're not even familiar with Crazy, so why did we call you?"

Shu Lingyue missed Chen Yun terribly when she didn't see him in the morning. This was the third time she had come to the security department to look for him today.

But to his surprise, he was immediately rebuked by Chen Yun upon meeting him.

Her eyebrows furrowed, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she retorted defiantly, "You're colleagues with the madman, and I'm also his colleague. Why can't I attend the madman's birthday celebration?"

Chen Yun pursed his lips: "That would only happen if that madman was willing to invite you!"

Shu Lingyue immediately asked the madman, "Ye Feng, I'd like to attend your birthday party with Chen Yun. You don't mind, do you?"

How could a madman possibly say he minded? He politely replied, "I don't mind at all!"

Shu Lingyue immediately revealed a smug expression and said to Chen Yun triumphantly, "Did you hear that?"

Chen Yun shook his head: "Freeloading, what a shameless person!"

After saying that, he walked straight into his private office.

Shu Lingyue chased after him angrily, saying defiantly, "Chen Yun, who's freeloading? Who's shameless? Explain yourself!"

Laifu and the madman looked at each other in bewilderment.

They always felt that Chen Ge's future sister-in-law seemed to be very clingy to him!

Could it be that Shu Lingyue really has feelings for Brother Chen?

Night falls.

As dusk settles, the city lights begin to twinkle.

In the presidential suite of the Zhonghai Hotel.

Chen Rulong, dressed in a brand-new, custom-made suit, was adjusting his collar in front of the mirror.

The butler, Luo Changgui, stood behind him, reporting on his work.

"Master, Zang Tianxiong's injuries are serious. Although he survived after emergency treatment, he will be a cripple."

Chen Rulong gave a casual "oh".

Zang Tianxiong was someone Xiao Wenwei planted by his side; he wouldn't care if Zang Tianxiong was crippled.

Luo Changgui added, "Also, when we finished dinner with the leaders of Zhonghai City just now, I subtly expressed my dissatisfaction with Xu Zhengwei to them. I estimate that the leaders will deal with Xu Zhengwei when they get back."

Chen Rulong said, "Very good!"

Luo Changgui added, "Also, you asked me to investigate Chen Yun's recent information, and I have done so."

Chen Rulong became interested: "Tell me about it!"

Luo Changgui said, "After Chen Yun retired from the army, he lived in seclusion in Zhonghai and had a brief marriage with a woman named Zhao Qingyu. However, the two have just divorced, and now Chen Yun is in love with a woman named Shu Tangyin."

Chen Rulong said, "I don't want to hear about his marital history. I want to know what kind of power he has that makes him dare to challenge me."

Luo Changgui said, "Chen Yun's biggest reliance should be Long Pingting. Long Pingting has more than 200 billion in assets. Chen Yun also has a guy named Lin Le who manages the Guolong Hotel business worth 1 billion for Chen Yun!"

"Furthermore, Chen Yun has a good relationship with Liang Chenglong, Tang Shirong, and a group of wealthy businessmen in Zhonghai!"

"Chen Yun also had Long Pingting and Liang Chenglong and others jointly establish Zhonglong Group, preparing to compete with our Tianjiao Group for the operating rights of China Shipping Ports."

Chen Rulong said disdainfully, "I thought he was something special, but it turns out he only relies on his two subordinates, Long Pingting and Lin Le."

After saying that, he instructed Luo Changgui, "Aren't we entertaining distinguished guests tonight? Let's choose the Guolong Hotel!"

Luo Changgui exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, the Guolong Hotel is Chen Yun's territory. We chose to entertain our VIPs at the Guolong Hotel. What if Chen Yun misunderstands and thinks we're here to cause trouble..."

Chen Rulong said calmly, "There won't be any misunderstanding!"

Luo Changgui was stunned.

Chen Rulong smiled enigmatically: "Tonight I'm here specifically to cause trouble at his place, so there's no misunderstanding!"

Luo Changgui's eyes widened, thinking to himself that the master had come specifically to challenge the school and get revenge for what happened today!
