The caller was none other than Yan Xukong, the son of the high-ranking official mentioned earlier.

Ye Chen answered the phone.

"So, Mr. Ye, has the matter been resolved?"

Across from them came Yan Xukong's very polite voice.

"It's resolved. Thank you so much, Chairman Yan."

Ye Chen exchanged pleasantries.

"President Ye, you're being too polite. We're all members of the Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce, we're all family."

Yan Xukong immediately said.

"Now that the matter is resolved, I wonder if Mr. Ye has time to have dinner together tomorrow night?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Xukong got down to business. He wanted to invite Ye Chen to meet him, have a meal, and become friends.

Moreover, to avoid Ye Chen not having enough time due to the suddenness, Yan Xukong did not choose tonight, but tomorrow night.

Actually, if Ye Chen were just an ordinary member of the Silver Fox Merchant Guild, he would still help, but not with such enthusiasm.

Yan Xukong was convinced that Ye Chen was no ordinary person, given that Gao Cangshan had willingly relinquished his position as an elder. That was why he was so enthusiastic and wanted to make friends with him.

"Tomorrow night, that's fine."

Ye Chen agreed.

"I'll arrange the location tomorrow night. Once it's confirmed, I'll send the location to Mr. Ye."

Yan Xukong said that the two continued chatting for a few more minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen went to the Yinglong Security Group's team.

"You can take this money and divide it among yourselves."

Ye Chen gave the captain of the Yinglong Security Group's small team a bank card with tens of millions of yuan in it, and asked him to divide it up.

This money is the compensation Zhao Zhiyang just gave for his hard work and medical expenses.

"No, boss, what happened just now was part of our job."

The squad leader politely declined.

"Take it if I tell you to. Divide it among yourselves and get some rest. You'll make a good living if you follow me from now on."

Ye Chen forcefully shoved the bank card into the captain's hand.

Having just acquired Yinglong Security Group, Ye Chen needed to win over his subordinates, as they were still relatively unfamiliar with him.

Loyalty is even more important in a security group.

"Thank you, boss."

Ye Chen stuffed them all into his hands, and the squad leader couldn't refuse, so he accepted them.

"Thank you, boss."

"Thank you, boss."

"Thank you, boss."

The team members spoke up very proactively, expressing their deepest gratitude to Ye Chen.

If this money were distributed among everyone, it would probably amount to several million, which is more than all the money they had earned in the company before.

This amount of money could have enabled an ordinary person to achieve financial freedom, yet the new boss so generously gave it to them.

The new boss is really too good to them, being so generous.

Working under a boss like this, they're incredibly motivated!

All the members felt exceptionally grateful to and admired Ye Chen, their new boss.

With this one move, Ye Chen easily won people's hearts.

Moreover, this news will definitely reach the other members of Yinglong Security Group, and Ye Chen's image and status as the new boss in the hearts of the company members will rise rapidly.

"Stay at your accommodations during this time. I'll call you if anything comes up."

The club is going to be renovated again, so they're no longer needed here. Ye Chen told them to go back.

The small matter of decorating the lobby was left to Wan Junying and the others. Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Ye Chen looked down and saw that it was a message from the game.

This time, however, it's not a game that's challenging us.

The challenge is complete!

Ye Chen's long-term challenge—to cultivate Bai Hanyan into a top-tier singer—is finally complete!

Bai Hanyan's national tour seems to have only been halfway through, and it's already over.

Very good!

Today is full of good news!

Ye Chen clicked into the game without hesitation.

【bite】

[The long-term challenge of cultivating Bai Hanyan into a top-tier singer has been successfully completed.]

[Congratulations on acquiring a 51% stake in the Prada Group (the share purchase agreement is in your club study; please check it)]

Congratulations on gaining 3000 experience points!

Congratulations on receiving 1500 Mall Points!

As soon as Ye Chen entered, a bunch of notifications popped up.

"Finally finished."

Ye Chen smiled broadly.

The rewards of this long-term challenge are enormous, amounting to tens of billions.

"Including my previous 24% stake in Prada, I now own 75% of the Prada Group."

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

After acquiring 51% of Prada Group's shares, Ye Chen became the de facto largest shareholder of Prada Group.

Three-quarters of Prada belong to Ye Chen alone.

He only needs 25% of the shares to fully acquire Prada.

Great, we're very close now.

Moreover, the game thoughtfully placed the share acquisition contract in this office, instead of in Ye Chen's villa in Yuecheng.

【bite】

[Check if the player's level meets the upgrade requirements; should they upgrade?]

Immediately afterwards, the game popped up a notification that Ye Chen's player level could be upgraded.

That's normal, considering I just got 3000 experience points.

"upgrade."

Ye Chen immediately clicked to upgrade.

【bite】

Congratulations on reaching level 6!

Player Level LV6 (859/6000)

The game notified Ye Chen that his player level had finally reached level six.

From this day forward, Ye Chen became a respected LV6 player.

After that, Ye Chen needs 6000 experience points to raise his player level to LV7, which is acceptable.

After all, upgrading from LV6 to LV7 is a huge leap.

Moreover, Ye Chen broke through to LV6 and still had more than 800 points left.

"Now that the player's level has been upgraded, the store's level should also be upgraded, right?"

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Sure enough, before Ye Chen could finish speaking, the game sent another message.

【bite】

[Check if the store level meets the upgrade requirements; should it be upgraded?]

"upgrade."

Congratulations on your shop level being upgraded to six stars!

[Six-Star Shop (387/4500)]

Ye Chen's shopping mall upgrade has finally reached six stars!

Ye Chen was quite satisfied.

"It's just that we're still a ways off from being able to upgrade to a seven-star shopping mall."

Ye Chen is still short of over 4,000 mall points.

However, it doesn't matter. As Ye Chen's player level reaches LV6, the points and experience rewards for each challenge will be significantly higher than at LV5.

Breaking into the Seven Star Shopping Mall is just around the corner!

Ye Chen was looking forward to that day, but right now, what Ye Chen was most looking forward to was midnight tonight.

What good items will appear in the Six-Star Shop?

Tonight is the first time the shop has refreshed since I broke through to the six-star level, so there will definitely be a lot of good stuff.

Ye Chen glanced at the time; it was almost four in the afternoon, only eight hours away!

We'll find out soon!!
