Chapter 1 Three Scoundrels Recognize Their Father

On this side, the three were colluding like wolves, shamelessly recognizing a father figure, while several kilometers away at Chen Xiao's home, it was a scene of vibrant joy and harmony.

In Jiangcheng, according to old customs, moving houses called for a banquet, where everyone gathered to celebrate, a tradition commonly known as "warming the pot."

However, Chen Xiao was a low-key person, not wanting to make a big fuss. Moreover, it was just a move; there was no need to make it known to everyone.

Although Chen Xiao didn't send out invitations, many people spontaneously came to offer their congratulations.

Li Ziqing, of course, was Chen Xiao's legitimate girlfriend, so she had to be there for his move.

And with Li Ziqing coming, Lin Jie naturally wouldn't be left out.

After all, she was the one who gifted Chen Xiao the house, and Chen Xiao had been kind to her, saving her from trouble several times.

So, she definitely had to come and congratulate him on his move.

The stone lion that had a great connection with her was also moved by Chen Xiao to his new home as a ward against evil.

The previous events were completely in the past, and Lin Jie could now smile when she saw the stone lion again, forgetting past grievances.

Besides Lin Jie and Li Ziqing, Qi Tianhu also came with his daughter and Da Jun to offer their congratulations.

These were all people who had extremely close relationships with Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao hosted a grand banquet, inviting everyone.

The happiest of them all was his mother, Liu Zhen. For so many years, the family had never been so lively.

Although Gu Zhendong had a solitary personality, he knew that these people were all Chen Xiao's friends, so he opened up his enthusiastic side, frequently raising his glass, and ended up getting Da Jun drunk under the table.

The women at the table were an even more beautiful sight, vying for attention and adding to the atmosphere.

Li Ziqing, needless to say, was a stunning beauty of the demoness level, an existence that couldn't be ignored no matter where she was.

Qi Qingfei was also not to be outdone, perfectly blending wildness and docility, creating a unique charm.

As for Gu Yutong, although she was still like a bud waiting to bloom, she already had the potential to contend with the other two beauties.

Even Lin Jie was a beauty chosen from thousands, and even though she was older, she still possessed a charming grace.

Whether it was because he had drunk some wine or not, Chen Xiao felt that Lin Jie's gaze towards him today was somewhat different from usual.

As for exactly what was different, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

When the banquet was in full swing, Chen Xiao received a call.

It was from Dean Hao Datong, asking Chen Xiao why he hadn't come to work.

Chen Xiao was speechless: "What work? I took a leave of absence, and you approved it yourself. You wouldn't have forgotten, would you?"

Hao Datong slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory, I forgot all about it. But your vacation is over, so get ready, we're heading to the provincial capital tomorrow!"

Chen Xiao originally thought he had a few more days, but this was fine too. Anyway, he was planning to leave in the next couple of days to meet the Dragon King above Lingshui.

After the banquet, Qi Tianhu suddenly mysteriously called Chen Xiao aside: "Boss Chen, can I have a word with you in private?"

Chen Xiao frowned: "What's the matter that can't be said in front of everyone? These are all our people here, just say it. "

Qi Tianhu said with some difficulty, "It's not that it can't be said in front of everyone, but it's a major matter, so it's best to find a quieter place."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Alright, then come with me to the study."

Chen Xiao led Qi Tianhu to the study: "Alright, what is it? Speak!"

Qi Tianhu took out a silver briefcase and handed it to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was puzzled: "Old Qi, you're not giving me a gift for moving, are you? We're brothers, no need for that. I called you here today to celebrate."

Chen Xiao thought that if the briefcase was full of money, it could probably hold a lot. There was no need to give such a large gift, right?

But Qi Tianhu laughed after hearing his words: "Boss Chen, you've misunderstood. This is not a gift."

"Then what is it?"

"You'll know when you open it and see!"

Chen Xiao opened it and found that it was a pile of documents.

A thick stack, there must be dozens of them.

Chen Xiao asked in confusion: "Old Qi, what is this?"

Qi Tianhu said: "Boss Chen, these are all equity transfer agreements. Once you sign them, from today onwards, these properties will all be in your name."

Chen Xiao randomly pulled out a document, which was an equity transfer agreement for a large shopping mall.

Chen Xiao knew this shopping mall, and it was worth several hundred million.

He pulled out another one, which was an equity transfer agreement for a five-star hotel.

At a rough glance, there were all kinds of properties inside, and each one was worth at least several hundred million, with one entertainment venue being worth several billion.

The more Chen Xiao looked, the more confused he became: "Old Qi, what do you mean by this? What's going on? You really want to hand everything over to me in the future? I told you, I just want to be a hands-off boss and don't want to manage anything else."

Qi Tianhu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, Boss Chen, you've misunderstood. This is most of the wealth that I, Qi Tianhu, have accumulated in my life. Today, I want to formally transfer them to you. Don't worry, all these properties are clean!"

Chen Xiao couldn't accept this even more after hearing these words: "You said it yourself that it's the empire you built, why are you giving it to me?"

Qi Tianhu said: "Boss Chen, you are now the leader of Jiangcheng. If you don't have money in your hands, you can't suppress the brothers below. Money makes the world go round!"

"Moreover, you are risking your life for the entire Jiangcheng; you deserve all of this."

"Boss Chen, you are a man who does great things. It's my good fortune for eight lifetimes that I, Qi Tianhu, can follow you. With just a word from you, I can give you my life, let alone these material possessions!"

Qi Tianhu spoke eloquently, but Chen Xiao was still hesitant.

"But have you thought about leaving something for Qingfei?"

Qi Tianhu laughed: "Boss Chen, you don't have to worry about that. I already gave Qingfei a property a long time ago, enough for her to live a life of luxury. Moreover… I heard that she recently acknowledged you as her master. Even if I pass away one day, I don't think you'll leave her alone, right?"

Chen Xiao was immediately ashamed and a little embarrassed to meet Qi Tianhu's gaze!

I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my father-in-law, right?

Chen Xiao didn't want to continue on the topic of Qi Qingfei, so he said: "Old Qi, what you said makes a lot of sense, but have you ever thought that even if you hand over all these properties to me, I won't be able to manage them? I'm just a doctor. It's fine if you let me be the director of a hospital, but it's a bit of a stretch to make me the director of an amusement park!"

Qi Tianhu smiled slightly: "Boss Chen, I've already thought about this for you. There is someone who is most suitable to help you manage these properties."

"Who are you talking about?" Chen Xiao asked in confusion.

Qi Tianhu smiled and said three words:

"Zhu Ye Qing!" (Bamboo Green Snake)
