Chapter 1171: Chapter 1170: Living on the Third Floor

Yang Chen sat at the dining table, looking at the hot milk, fruit salad, tofu pudding, exquisite finger-sized deep-fried dough sticks, and the salted vegetables carved into flower shapes...

It felt like a dream.

It’s not that the food was particularly exquisite, but these breakfasts gave him a feeling... a feeling like being cared for by his parents.

When he was in junior high, he had a good relationship with a classmate and was lucky enough to be invited to stay at his home for a night.

When he woke up in the morning, his classmate’s parents prepared hot milk and bread for them.

For his classmate, this was the most common thing, but for Yang Chen, it was an immense luxury.

That breakfast became an indelible memory for him.

He had dreamt countless times of waking up in the morning to a cup of hot milk.

But each time was a disappointment.

Including during his high school entrance exams, he hoped to drink a cup of hot milk before the test...

Hoping someone would watch him enter the examination room with eager anticipation...

Those things are normal for regular people...

Feelings surged quickly, catching Yang Chen unprepared.

Everyone was watching him.

To cover up his embarrassment, Yang Chen picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp.

The taste was the same as the milk he had at his classmate’s house!

The same, containing a taste called motherly love!

All of this made Yang Chen’s nose sour.

"How is it? Try the dough sticks I made, and see if they’re soft enough." Ruan Ling quickly said.

Yang Chen forced back the soreness in his eyes, nodded, picked up the dough sticks with chopsticks, and started eating.

The taste was amazing, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, very delicious.

This meal was probably the most delicious one Yang Chen had eaten in his twenties!

The director looked at Yang Chen’s slightly reddened eyes from being touched, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After the meal.

After tidying up, everyone sat on the sofa to rest.

Yang Chen said to Meng Po, "Is the house ready? Help them settle in."

Fu Zhou and Ruan Ling immediately looked eagerly at Meng Po.

Meng Po, seeing their eager eyes, thought for a moment and said, "There’s no need to find a villa. Our third floor’s master bedroom is empty, just perfect for uncle and aunt to stay in, as long as they don’t mind the crowd and noise here."

Fu Zhou and Ruan Ling, who were very thoughtful, knew right away that Meng Po was helping them.

Moreover, of course, they wanted to live as close to their son as possible, why would they mind?

"Alright, alright! Living on the third floor is fine, the more people the merrier! We don’t mind at all!" Ruan Ling quickly said.

"Right, right!" Fu Zhou hurriedly nodded.

Meng Po nodded, "That’s good. Master, how about letting uncle and aunt stay on the third floor?"

Yang Chen looked at Meng Po, sighed inwardly, and said, "Alright, then let them stay on the third floor. Have someone help tidy it up."

"Yes!" Meng Po immediately nodded.

Ruan Ling said, "Xiaochen, now that there are more people living in the house, and various trivial matters are cumbersome, why not hire a housekeeper and servants? That would be much more convenient."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen slightly furrowed his brow.

Ruan Ling quickly said, "I’m not saying I don’t want to do things, but having a housekeeper and servants really is more convenient, after all, everyone is very busy..."

"I understand what you mean." Yang Chen furrowed his brow and said, "But there isn’t suitable personnel, I will try to choose carefully."

"If you need, I have volunteers here, we’ve been using them all along, if you need them, I’ll have them come over," Ruan Ling said.

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, thought, and still nodded in agreement, saying to Sun Yue; "You’ll be responsible for connecting with them, explaining the rules here."

Sun Yue immediately nodded.

She understood Yang Chen’s intent.

Yang Chen didn’t trust outsiders, and wanted her to investigate the housekeeper’s and servant’s identity and background, avoiding any problems.

...

Longyu Group.

Conference room.

All members were present.

Wei Xueqing was the first to report, "Currently, all company projects are progressing steadily, real estate has already begun construction, everything is on track; the company working with the Xiang family is integrating at the fastest pace and will be fully connected in three months."

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "How long until the Longyu Mansion is delivered?"

As a corporate group, they cannot keep working in other buildings; they must have a dedicated office building to showcase their company’s strength.

When it was Shangdong Group, under Yang Chen’s advice, a Shangdong Mansion was built, and all employees worked inside Shangdong Mansion, which was very convenient.

"It will be delivered next month," Wei Xueqing said.

Yang Chen nodded and looked at Zhang Yiran, "Go ahead and talk about the situation with the other major families and the New City competition this time."

Although Longyu Group is developing rapidly, Yang Chen’s attention remains focused on the major families.

He cannot be at ease until these family powers are thoroughly resolved.

Zhang Yiran took a deep breath and said, "This New City competition, though said to be organized by non-governmental bodies, has always been participated in by the nine major families, and the final results are more effective than any document. Moreover, the policy has already been issued, with New City fully developing to advance Ancheng’s growth. This matter presents a very good opportunity for those in charge and offers new hope for everyone in Ancheng to develop outward, to escape from the cage of hope."

"Now property prices have been driven up, and everyone smells the meat and rushes to grab a piece. But eventually, it will be the nine major families who benefit. To be blunt, the nine major families have completely hollowed out Ancheng, everything belongs to them, and people are merely their slaves raised for profit. Another key point is the Yun family will be heavily involved this time, and according to the latest news, the Second Young Master Yun has already arrived and will meet all the young talents from each major family, as well as some elders, tonight!"

"Most importantly, according to reliable information, the Second Young Master Yun left Penglai Island this time because he broke through to the Grandmaster Realm! There are also rumors that the Second Young Master Yun came this time mainly for Left Envoy Yang, intending to propose to her. Tonight is the banquet hosted by Second Young Master Yun, and he might propose to Left Envoy Yang..."

While saying this, Zhang Yiran looked at Yang Chen.

As expected, Yang Chen’s expression was dark, almost to the point of anger. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"In addition, now that Second Young Master Yun has broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, becoming a once-in-a-millennium prodigy, the major families highly praise him. Plus, the Penglai Yun family always portrays an image of being above other families, this time, it’s likely the same. And I think the Yun family coming this time won’t be just about the interests division in New City," Zhang Yiran shared all the information he had with one breath.
