Chapter 78: The Grand Five-Year Anniversary Celebration!

“Honey, I can explain, really.” Tang Chen quickly walked over and called out. He didn’t want Yang Mi to think he was some kind of flirtatious womanizer.

But the problem was, explain—how should he explain? Should he say he went to confront Hu Weidong late at night and then accidentally saved Liu Yanran who was on a mission?

No way. From the start, he didn’t want Yang Mi to know he intended to kill Hu Weidong. That was definitely something he couldn’t say!

“It’s fine, I’m not angry. You don’t need to be so nervous.” Yang Mi gave a light laugh, then placed the late-night snack on the table. She spoke to Tang Chen in a cool tone: “I’ve said before, a man as outstanding as you definitely wouldn’t be liked by me alone. I was already prepared for the possibility of other women fancying you. Just remember to use protection next time you go out to have fun. Don’t bring any diseases back with you.”

Tang Chen felt utterly frustrated. He really had no way to defend himself. He clearly didn’t do the things Yang Mi imagined, yet he couldn’t explain anything at all!

Although Yang Mi claimed she wasn’t angry, Tang Chen wasn’t stupid. Her pouting lips, her cold tone—they clearly showed she was very angry!

“Yang Mi, it’s really not what you think.” Tang Chen walked over and took Yang Mi’s hand, trying to soothe her.

But when a woman gets jealous, is she really that easy to calm down? Yang Mi gently pulled her hand back and said with a smile, “I’m really not angry. I’m very tolerant. Just make sure you keep yourself safe.”

Tang Chen was nearly driven mad. He directly scooped Yang Mi up into his arms and said with domineering confidence, “You don’t believe me? They say if a man does that, it takes a while to get it up again. I’ll prove to you right now if I still have the energy or not.” Saying this, he carried Yang Mi toward the bedroom.

“Let go of me! You’re so annoying!” Yang Mi struggled with her feet, trying to get down, but her strength was too small. She obediently let Tang Chen toss her onto the bed. In the time that followed, the lovely sounds did not stop.

Early the next morning, Tang Chen got up very early. Since it was still Sunday, Tang Chen didn’t wake Yang Mi, letting her sleep in.

Last night, Tang Chen had used his powerful stamina to prove he hadn’t gone out and done what she imagined. And Yang Mi had fallen asleep contentedly after being worn out again and again.

Tang Chen came out of the room, then took out his mobile phone and called Fang Wenxin. The busy signal rang for a while; probably Fang Wenxin hadn’t gotten up yet.

“Hello, is that Young Master Tang?” Fang Wenxin finally picked up the phone just before Tang Chen ran out of patience. His voice sounded a bit groggy.

Tang Chen curled his lips and said, “Fang Wenxin, you guys didn’t go cause trouble for the Small Knife Society yesterday, right?”

Hearing that Young Master Tang was asking about serious business, Fang Wenxin quickly replied, “No, Young Master Tang. You told us not to act, so we didn’t dare do anything.”

Tang Chen gave a satisfied “Mhm” and then said, “But starting today, you can go take over the Small Knife Society’s territory.”

“What?” Fang Wenxin was startled, then asked, “But Young Master Tang, didn’t you analyze the drawbacks for us if we acted now yesterday? Why are you suddenly telling me we can act today?”

Tang Chen said, “Yesterday was yesterday. Today is today. Now the Small Knife Society is basically leaderless. Seize the opportunity. Try to swallow up the Small Knife Society as soon as possible after school tomorrow. That’s it, bye.” Saying this, he hung up without giving Fang Wenxin a chance to ask questions.

“Hello, Young Master Tang? Young Master Tang?” Fang Wenxin put down his mobile phone with a dazed expression. What did Young Master Tang mean by “the Small Knife Society is leaderless”? Could it be…?

Thinking of a possibility, Fang Wenxin’s face lit up with delight. He immediately picked up his mobile phone again, dialed a number, and said to the other side, “Stop sleeping! Quickly call the brothers to meet at the usual spot. We have big news to announce!”

On the other side, Tang Chen was leisurely drinking tea while browsing news on his computer. The System then spoke: “Respected Host, you’re not going to handle it personally?”

Tang Chen put down his teacup and said, “Hu Weidong has already been dealt with by me. If Fang Wenxin and the others can’t even handle the cleanup work properly, then I’ll just give up on that mission automatically.”

The System didn’t say anything more. The Host had matured a lot now, and it seemed many things no longer needed its interference.

Tang Chen casually opened a webpage and noticed one news item that caught his attention: The city’s largest and most luxurious hotel, Junyue Grand Hotel, would be holding its five-year anniversary celebration today. Many industry leaders and celebrities were invited to attend and show support.

“Junyue Hotel? Isn’t that my hotel? Why didn’t Old Pang inform me?” Tang Chen muttered to himself, then dialed Manager Pang’s number.

Manager Pang was very busy today. Because they were holding the five-year anniversary celebration, there were lots of tasks to handle, and his subordinates weren’t very efficient, so he was quite irritated at the moment.

The phone rang just then. Picking it up and seeing it was Young Master Tang’s call, he quickly answered and respectfully said, “Young Master Tang, what can I do for you?”

Tang Chen said lazily, “Old Pang, I just saw online that today is apparently our hotel’s five-year anniversary celebration. Is that right?”

Manager Pang replied, “Yes, Young Master Tang. I’m extremely busy right now.”

Tang Chen said with some displeasure, “But why wasn’t I told about such a big event in advance? Are you trying to rebel?”

Manager Pang said with a bitter smile, “Young Master Tang, I wouldn’t dare. I just intended to invite you after everything was set up.”

Tang Chen was only joking, so he then said, “Old Pang, don’t be nervous. I’m just kidding. By the way, I saw you invited many business leaders and celebrities. I’m very pleased. For the five-year anniversary celebration of my hotel, the scale must be grand. I’ll bring some people to show support later.”

Manager Pang said excitedly, “Great! Then I’ll eagerly await your arrival.”

Tang Chen gave an “Mhm,” asked about the specific time, and then hung up. He then called Third Master Chen and told him to bring his men to support his hotel today. When Third Master Chen heard it was Tang Chen’s hotel, he immediately agreed.

After giving instructions, Tang Chen went upstairs into the room to check on Yang Mi. He found the girl already awake though still groggy. He told her about the event, and Yang Mi was also happy, gladly agreeing to go with Tang Chen.

Tang Chen agreed, told Yang Mi to dress prettily, then took her out. Yang Mi asked since it was the five-year anniversary celebration, should they buy something to celebrate? Tang Chen said, why should he buy anything to celebrate his own hotel?

Yang Mi was speechless. She followed Tang Chen out to have breakfast, then timed their arrival to head to Junyue.

To talk about Boss Pang’s connections in the city—they were truly impressive. Plus, the reputation of the name “Junyue” in the industry meant that some bosses who hadn’t been invited by Boss Pang still came shamelessly with generous gifts to offer congratulations.

Boss Pang was also very marketing-savvy. Not only did he invite these bosses, he also invited journalists from several newspapers to the scene. Additionally, he hired some second-rate actors and singers to sing and liven up the atmosphere. He also announced that all guests dining at Junyue today would enjoy a free meal.

Boss Pang was not only highly intelligent, his emotional intelligence was also very high. He widely advertised that all of this was arranged by his new boss, Young Master Tang. This immediately made Tang Chen’s name known to everyone, giving Tang Chen quite a moment of glory.

Outside Junyue at that moment—the ever-stylish Junyue had laid out a long red carpet at the entrance. On both sides, hostesses in cheongsams were welcoming guests. Luxury cars like BMWs parked at the door. Big bosses stepped onto the red carpet with their female companions, then entered the hotel greeted by the hostesses. In front of the hotel, journalists were already prepared with their cameras. This made the bosses feel both grand and highly respected.

Boss Pang personally waited in the lobby. These big bosses fully displayed their extravagance, each presenting gifts that varied in style but all aimed to be the most expensive.

Just then, a cool sports car pulled up. Tang Chen and Yang Mi had finally arrived. Boss Pang, sharp-eyed, noticed them. Apologizing to the boss beside him, he hurried down to welcome Tang Chen.
