My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 997 - 996: Gathering (1/2)

Evening.

Zhou Tang declined the dinner invitation and asked the driver to take him to First-Grade Kingdom.

He had been to First-Grade Kingdom before and was amazed at its luxury. Now that he's visiting again, he still feels the same.

Those who can live here are people of prominence in Ancheng, and having money doesn't necessarily mean you can buy a house here.

Living here signifies a lot, especially one's status in Ancheng.

However, he's very curious about how Yang Chen managed to rent a house here.

Or rather, is the house here originally owned by the person in charge of Longyu Group?

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

He parked the car and approached the entrance of Building Six.

Surprisingly, there was no one to greet him, and Zhou Tang felt a bit displeased. He straightened his clothes and walked in.

As he walked in, a few people were lounging on the sofa and ignored him.

This made him even more dissatisfied.

At this moment, Jianfeng saw Zhou Tang, quickly stood up, and smiled, "Steward Zhou is here, come, have a seat and rest for a bit. The boss is cooking for you, it'll be ready soon."

Zhou Tang was taken aback, not expecting Yang Chen to cook personally. He thought some chefs were hired to prepare the meal.

"Oh! Okay!" Zhou Tang didn't say much else and sat down to wait patiently.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Tang watched Jianfeng and Mastiff playing cards, comparing points.

The loser received a hard slap across the face from the opponent, the force and sound of which made Zhou Tang's scalp tingle. He felt that if it happened to him, it would likely knock out his teeth.

Are these two masochists?

They seem to have an obvious tendency for self-abuse?

At this moment, Yang Chen peeked out from the kitchen, glanced over, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou is here. I'm cooking; please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Zhou Tang quickly waved his hand to indicate it was alright.

Seeing Jianfeng and Mastiff playing games, Yang Chen couldn't help but glare at them, "You two brats, be careful, don't scare our guest!"

The two rubbed their faces and glared back at each other, somewhat begrudgingly.

Yang Chen sighed, "Go upstairs and call Xueqing down, tell her Mr. Zhou is here!"

"Yes!" Mastiff stood up, rubbing his face as he went upstairs.

Upstairs.

Wei Xueqing heard Mastiff's call, opened the door, and saw Mastiff's swollen face. She was startled, "What happened to your face?"

Mastiff covered his face and said, "Jianfeng hit me!"

Hearing this, Wei Xueqing wasn't pleased and angrily said, "Did he bully you?"

Saying this, Wei Xueqing grabbed Mastiff and headed downstairs.

Mastiff had a baby face, but in fact, he was quite young, similar in age to Little Demon, and looked like a child. Seeing his swollen, red little face indeed made people feel sympathy for him.

Without explanation, Wei Xueqing pulled Mastiff downstairs and pointed at Jianfeng, scolding, "Jianfeng, what's going on with you? You were once the deputy captain; how can you bully Mastiff? Did you often bully others during your time in the Guard? Look what you've done to Mastiff..."

Wei Xueqing's words trailed off as she saw Jianfeng's face was even more swollen than Mastiff's, and both sides were noticeably puffed up.

"Uh… what happened with you two…" Wei Xueqing was confused.

Jianfeng said gloomily, "We were playing a game, and losers accept the consequences!"

Saying this, Jianfeng glared at Mastiff, pointing at him, "Did you rat on me, you little brat?"

Mastiff shivered and quickly broke free from Wei Xueqing's grasp, "I didn't say anything!"

Wei Xueqing was speechless and pointed at Mastiff, with nothing more to say.

It was her fault for not asking clearly first.

Meanwhile, Zhou Tang stood on the side, looking awkwardly at the scene, not expecting to witness such a farce.

Wei Xueqing noticed Zhou Tang and quickly smiled, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, for letting you see this. They play around all the time like kids."

Zhou Tang quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I think it's quite nice. It's like being among friends, very relaxed."

After saying this, Zhou Tang looked at Wei Xueqing and asked, "Are you the person in charge of Longyu Group?"

Wei Xueqing nodded slightly, smiling, "Currently, I'm in charge of the Longyu Group's projects, but Longyu Group isn't my investment. I'm just working for someone else."

Wei Xueqing's words were ambiguous, containing many layers of meaning, making Zhou Tang think deeply.

Zhou Tang asked, "I saw your registered capital is a hundred billion, and you're investing in real industries. I wonder what level of development you aim for in Ancheng? Or what kind of impact you want to achieve?"

Wei Xueqing smiled, "We've registered a capital of one hundred billion, and our investment capital has reached two hundred billion. Currently, we're focusing on real industries, as Ancheng emphasizes developing the real economy. As for what extent we will develop to, it depends on our enterprise's potential. If possible, we want to push against Ancheng's developmental ceiling. After all, in this industry, who doesn't want to grow big?"

This answer made Zhou Tang very satisfied.

He appreciated ambitious people, those daring to challenge the industry's ceiling, as they are what he needed to contend with the major families in Ancheng.

"Good! Very good!" Zhou Tang said with a smile, "Our Ancheng needs entrepreneurs like you, young and ambitious. As long as you can bring a better life to the people of Ancheng, I will fully support your work."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xueqing couldn't help but smile.

Now she finally saw that sense of urgency in Zhou Tang, just as Yang Chen had said. For Zhou Tang to achieve political accomplishments, he must break free from the control of the several families over the Ancheng market.

The so-called political accomplishment is the situation of the city's economic development. When the entire market is fully controlled by several families, how can there be better development? They limit each other's development, and even if the families grow more prominent, their industries are elsewhere and have nothing to do with Ancheng's economic development.

In Zhou Tang's view, Longyu Group's emergence was like putting a catfish among the fish, which would stimulate the economic growth of Ancheng and help find a breakthrough point.

The two were chatting happily when an elder pushed the door open and came in.

"Dad!" Zhou Tang quickly stood up to greet the elder Mr. Zhou.

Wei Xueqing also smiled and walked over.

Yang Chen came out with a knife and said to the elder Mr. Zhou, "Elder, you're here. I'm just cooking, and it will be ready soon."

The elder Mr. Zhou looked and couldn't help but smile, "Oh! Brother Xiaoyang, you're cooking personally; that's impressive! There aren't many men who can cook nowadays."

Wei Xueqing laughed, "You'll see in a moment. The meal Yang Chen prepares is delicious, even better than what chefs in five-star hotels make."

Seeing Wei Xueqing, the elder Mr. Zhou couldn't help but ponder: Who is this woman?

Looking at her demeanor, appearance, and manners, she wasn't ordinary, far better than his granddaughter. With someone like her around Yang Chen, would he still consider his granddaughter?
