"Big Brother!"
Wang Heihu and Wang Ma shouted in unison.
"Don't worry, you'll all get your turn! One by one!"
Zhou Wei sneered.
Chen Jie stood by, and Gao Biyun was right beside him. Seeing this scene, her face showed fear.
Seeing this, Chen Jie said to Zhou Wei, "Take them away and deal with them as you see fit. Also, send some men to take over the company and help Gao Biyun with anything she can't handle."
"Yes, Brother Chen!"
Zhou Wei quickly agreed.
The Wang brothers were taken away.
Chen Jie said to Gao Biyun, "Don't be afraid, I'll ensure your safety."
Gao Biyun forced a smile, "I'm not scared, I'm just worried that I won't be able to manage the company well and will disappoint you."
"You won't. I have faith in you. If you encounter anything you can't handle, contact Zhou Wei directly."
"Yes, Boss, I will." Gao Biyun nodded heavily.
However, Gao Biyun was still a novice. Chen Jie decided that Gao Biyun would be responsible for managing the Su family's company, while the Ye family's businesses would be jointly managed by Yang Siqing and Gao Biyun.
This way, Gao Biyun could follow Yang Siqing and learn management experience.
"I only ask you to do your best. As long as you try your best, I won't blame you for anything that happens. But if you act like the Wang brothers, don't blame me for being harsh."
Although Gao Biyun was a straightforward person, Chen Jie still gave her a stern warning.
Gao Biyun quickly said, "Boss, don't worry, I will never betray you!"
With Gao Biyun arranged, the matters in Pingcheng were considered concluded.
He then went to the Xishan Villa.
He Ruifei's mother was still living in the Xishan Villa.
Since He Ruifei had to go to the provincial capital after resolving the business in Pingcheng, Chen Jie and Mother He were now the only ones in the villa.
Mother He was very welcoming upon seeing Chen Jie.
She had witnessed her daughter's transformation from an ordinary girl to a powerful woman.
All of this was thanks to Chen Jie.
"Chen Jie, you're back. Haven't you eaten yet? I'll make you something to eat," Mother He said with a smile.
"No need to trouble yourself," Chen Jie politely declined.
"How can that be? Ruifei isn't home, so it's only right for me, her mother, to take care of you. Don't mind if my cooking isn't to your taste!"
He Ruifei said with a hint of displeasure.
"Alright then, thank you, Auntie."
"What's there to be polite about?"
Mother He smiled slightly, her smile carrying a hint of playfulness.
Nourished by the spiritual energy within the villa, she could now go out and no one would believe she was over forty. She looked at most twenty-nine.
However, while she had a charming demeanor, some of her facial contours still betrayed her age. It was believed that with more time spent living there, these age-revealing contours would gradually disappear, eventually making her appear like a young girl.
"Master Chen, long time no see, I've missed you dearly!"
As soon as Xiao Ding learned that Chen Jie had returned to Pingcheng, he contacted Chen Jie.
"Boss Xiao, how has business been lately?" Chen Jie greeted him, though he was slightly puzzled by the unsolicited contact.
"Thanks to you, ever since you helped me last time, my auction house business has been booming, making a fortune every day!"
"But no matter how good business is, it's not as good as yours, Master Chen! You're now the little prince of Pingcheng, capable of turning the world upside down. Even though you haven't been seen in Pingcheng for a while, your legends are all over town!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Indeed.
Now, all the prominent families in Pingcheng had a significant relationship with Chen Jie.
The industries of the families that Chen Jie had dealt with were now under his name.
It could be said that if Chen Jie claimed to be second in Pingcheng, no one would dare claim to be first.
Chen Jie smiled without speaking.
Xiao Ding said, "By the way, Master Chen, I've contacted Master Yi and the others. Shall we have a meal together?"
"Okay, let's schedule it for tonight. I need to make some protective talismans," Chen Jie didn't refuse.
However, Mother He was already cooking, and it wasn't convenient for him to go out right now. He used this as a casual excuse.
"Protective talismans? Master Chen, speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that you promised to collaborate with my auction house. Master Chen, when will I have the honor?"
Chen Jie froze.
He had indeed considered making some permanent protective talismans for auction at Xiao Ding's place once he had an ample supply.
However, due to Li Ziling's matters, he hadn't had the time to return to Pingcheng.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie immediately said, "There's no time like the present. I'll contact the Tang family now and get some jade from them. Wait!"
"Master Chen, no need to trouble yourself. Miss Tang is likely on her way to you now!"
"Because, before I contacted you, I had already told Miss Tang that you were back in Pingcheng and might need to get supplies from her."
Chen Jie couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
He strongly suspected that Xiao Ding had contacted him solely because he wanted his protective talismans.
"Alright, just wait then!"
He hung up the phone and was about to contact Tang Ruotong when the doorbell rang first.
Chen Jie remotely opened the door.
Tang Ruotong skipped in.
Having not seen her for some time, Tang Ruotong's appearance in front of Chen Jie made his eyes light up.
At this moment, Tang Ruotong was wearing a simple dress, and her stockings shone with a crystal-clear sheen.
"Master Chen, I finally see you!" Tang Ruotong excitedly approached Chen Jie.
She sat down right beside Chen Jie and said with a grin, "What are you doing?"
She sat down close to Chen Jie without any reservation.
The warmth from her side directly transferred to Chen Jie.
A faint fragrance wafted out.
Chen Jie glanced at her, "I just got back, and you came right away. What a coincidence."
"What? You don't welcome me?"
Tang Ruotong, bright and charming, looked at Chen Jie with a smile.
"You're here to bring me jade, why wouldn't I welcome you?" Chen Jie said.
"Hehe, I'm not just bringing you jade, I'm bringing a person too!" Tang Ruotong winked, her eyes filled with ambiguous flirtation.
"Bringing a person?" Chen Jie said in surprise.
"Me!"
Tang Ruotong quickly said, "You left me in Pingcheng for so long without visiting, I was almost going crazy! You don't cherish me at all..."
"What are you talking about? What's our relationship?" Chen Jie asked, confused.
Tang Ruotong leaned her upper body towards Chen Jie, unconcerned about their intimate contact.
"You forgot, my dad already gave me to you in front of everyone! From that day on, I was yours! But what have you done? You haven't contacted me all this time!"
Tang Ruotong said aggrievedly, "Now everyone knows I'm the woman of you, the King of Pingcheng, and no one dares to interact with me!"
