My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, glanced at Qian Fugui's apprehensive appearance, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you very much."

"I dare not accept such praise! I dare not accept such praise!"

Qian Fugui felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally settling back into his stomach.

He knew all too well that if Xiao Chen insisted on not accepting the money, Qin Xianglan would never let him off the hook.

With Qin Xianglan's influence in the provincial capital, she could make Qian Fugui disappear completely from the city with a flick of her finger!

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Qin Xianglan looked at Xiao Chen and respectfully asked, "Boss, it's getting late. Shall I take you home?"

"Need not."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and glanced at the back of the shop.

"Where's the back door? I'll go by myself." He never liked being too ostentatious, and now that this has happened, the front door is sure to be crowded with people, so going through the back door would be much quieter.

……

Outside the Treasure Pavilion, the crowd of onlookers, escorted out by bodyguards, had truly had their eyes opened today; their worldviews had been shattered.

Who would have thought that a young man dressed in casual clothes costing a few dozen yuan and wearing black cloth shoes would transform into a "wealthy lord" whom even the owner of the Treasure Pavilion had to bow down to?
Who would have thought that his girlfriend just wanted to buy a jade pendant worth 16 million yuan as a thank-you gift for a friend?
What's even more astonishing is that the owner of the Treasure Pavilion not only dared not accept a single penny, but was so frightened that he almost knelt down and kowtowed on the spot, using the priceless pendant as an apology gift!

Who exactly is this seemingly ordinary young man?
Many people in the crowd had already posted the blurry videos and photos they had just taken online.

Instantly, the message spread like wildfire across major social media platforms in the provincial capital, quickly becoming a trending topic.

Netizens have given this mysterious young man various nicknames... "Invisible Tycoon", "The Most Powerful CEO", "The Mysterious Boss of the Provincial Capital".

There was even an online campaign to "find the mysterious tycoon in the provincial capital," which attracted countless netizens who speculated about his identity and background, keeping the event highly popular.

Fortunately, Qin Xianglan's bodyguards reacted quickly and cleared everyone out of the store in time. In the videos and photos that were circulated, Xiao Chen was only shown as a tall but blurry figure from behind, and his face could not be seen at all.

This adds to the legendary aura surrounding this "mysterious tycoon".

……

"You're really showing off today."

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion and getting into the car, Zhou Keying looked at Xiao Chen beside her, who was holding a brocade box and had a calm expression, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and said with a touch of emotion, "I don't want to show off, but some people just don't appreciate my kindness."

He really didn't expect that there would be so many people in this world who look down on others, and it's impossible to guard against them all.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things."

Zhou Keying put away her smile, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness and an undisguised excitement.

"I've bought the gift, but it's not enough to express my gratitude. Xiao Chen, let me treat you to dinner at the most luxurious hotel in the provincial capital... 'Chaotianque'!"

She paused, then added with a smile, "And by the way, it's also a little celebration so I can finally show off in front of those relatives from the capital tomorrow!"

The Chaotianque Hotel is an absolutely legendary establishment in the entire provincial capital.

It is currently the best and most luxurious hotel in the provincial capital, bar none. This hotel occupies a vast area, occupying a prime location in the city center, and its decoration is extremely luxurious, blending Eastern classical and Western modern styles, making it exceptionally grand.

The hotel even includes a high-end shopping mall, featuring only top international brands.

The name "Chaotianque" is not only the name of the hotel, but also the name of the most famous and top-class building in the hotel.

It is located on the top floor of that high-end shopping mall, with an excellent location and a wide view.

The building is named "Chaotianque" because it was built entirely in the style of the ancient royal palace of the Dragon Kingdom.

The wood used is all top-quality and precious mahogany sourced from all over the world. With its carved beams, painted rafters, and upturned eaves, every detail exudes ultimate nobility and grandeur.

This is also the most luxurious and top-class banquet venue in the entire provincial capital.

For ordinary people, holding a banquet here is out of the question; even stepping inside is a luxury.

It is said that the starting price for even the most ordinary small banquet here is several million, and if it is slightly more grand, it can easily cost tens of millions.

But Zhou Keying is not short of money at all; a few million is just a drop in the ocean for her.

As long as it makes Xiao Chen happy, and as a chance to warm up for tomorrow's family banquet and showcase my abilities, it's all worth it.

Xiao Chen was naturally aware of the reputation of "Chaotianque". He did not refuse and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go and try it."

He knew perfectly well that Zhou Keying's actions were not simply to thank him.

This was more of a way to establish authority, to stand tall in front of the Zhou family in the capital.

It was also to send a signal to the celebrities in the provincial capital... that Zhou Keying was no longer the soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.

So the two drove towards the Chaotianque Hotel, located in a prime downtown location.

Their purpose for this trip was clear: to book the entire "Chaotianque," a symbol of supreme honor, for a day in advance for their family banquet the next day.

However, they were unaware that the Chaotianque Hotel implemented an extremely strict, even harsh, membership system.

Here, whether dining, staying overnight, or hosting a banquet, you must hold an exclusive membership card issued by the hotel.

Moreover, the services and privileges enjoyed by different membership card levels are vastly different, like heaven and earth.

The lowest tier is the Viscount card, which only allows dining and lodging in the hotel's regular areas; above that are the Earl card, Marquis card, Duke card, and King card, with privileges increasing in that order.

Even the highest-ranking Royal Card only grants the holder the right to dine on the top floor of the "Chaotian Palace"; they are still not allowed to set foot in the other core areas.

To book the "Chaotianque" building for a banquet would be virtually impossible.

In the entire provincial capital, only one type of card qualifies for this... that is the legendary "Emperor Card," which is issued to only a handful of people!
Even with an Emperor Card, you can't book an entire day at will.

The hotel has extremely strict rules: Emperor Card holders can only book "Chaotianque" for a maximum of two hours.

As for all other membership levels, they don't even qualify for booking a private event. (End of Chapter)
