Chapter 92

The convoy didn't enter the city but drove directly to the 'Qianshui Lake' in the suburbs.

Qianshui Lake is a very clear freshwater lake, famous for its 'blue shrimp.' To prevent pollution, the Qingshui municipal government has stipulated that no chemical enterprises are allowed to be established near Qianshui Lake.

Therefore, a large number of tourists visit Qianshui Lake every year.

After everyone got out of the parking lot, a man was already waiting at the entrance with a group of people.

"Brother Liu, why did you personally wait at the entrance?" The young man's face changed slightly as he approached.

"You are Zhao Chen's friend, so I have to give you some face," the man said indifferently.

This man was Liu Teng.

Like his uncle, he had a shaved head, but he looked much younger than Uncle Liu.

Zhao Chen quickly stepped forward and introduced Li Yichen and others to Liu Teng.

Liu Teng looked to be around 22 or 23 years old, but he had a very strong presence and was quite arrogant.

When introducing Yang Chao and Mo Xiaoshan, he glanced over them without stopping. Even for Li Yichen, he only paused briefly. When it came to Chu Minghui, he nodded slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, let's go in." Zhao Chen wanted to continue the introductions, but Liu Teng had already waved him off and turned to leave.

For the next people, Jiang Tanqiu, Chen Fan, and others, he didn't even look at them.

Jiang Tanqiu and Xiao Qian's smiles froze on their faces, but they dared not complain in front of such a young master and could only suppress their anger.

As they walked in, the entire view of the lakeside resort was revealed to everyone.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. It looks like the tropical thatched cottages in Bali," Zhang Yumeng exclaimed happily.

Even Jiang Churan, Xu Rongfei, and others had stars in their eyes. These charming little houses, which can only be seen in the South Pacific island countries, easily evoke the romantic sentiments of young girls.

Liu Teng, while walking, said proudly, "Our resort is half on the shore and half on the water. There are 12 luxury water villas and 57 themed rooms. Each room has a dedicated attendant who can be called at any time."

"Additionally, there are outdoor hot springs. Although you can't swim in the winter, you can soak in the hot springs."

"Whatever you want to eat is completely free. There are Australian lobsters, Icelandic caviar, Italian truffles, and Japanese tuna, all available."

As Liu Teng spoke, the women's eyes grew brighter, and even the men were moved.

"Brother Liu, this resort must have required a significant investment," Li Yichen pushed his glasses and said calmly.

"The initial investment was 120 million, and later another 50 million was added," Liu Teng said casually.

"Brother Liu's investment is truly generous, much more than our Zhou leader in Chuzhou," Mo Xiaoshan remarked.

"Ha, Zhou Tianhao?" Liu Teng sneered. "If it weren't for the Wei family, what would he be?"

Liu Teng was about to say more, but he suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he changed the topic: "Uncle has already handed the management of this resort to me. If you need anything, just tell the manager."

"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. See you at dinner."

With that, he walked away.

After Liu Teng left, the people from Chuzhou marveled.

Liu Teng was only a few years older than them, yet he was already independently managing a billion-dollar business, on par with billionaires. In comparison, they would have to wait at least ten or even twenty years to achieve such a level.

'Indeed, he is the top young master of Qingshui City,' Li Yichen sighed inwardly.

Xiao Qian lowered her head, lost in thought.

After that, everyone went to their respective rooms, put down their luggage, and gathered at the lakeside restaurant.

Chen Fan had just arrived at the restaurant when he was pulled aside by Jiang Tanqiu.

"This Liu Teng is really not nice, giving us the worst rooms!"

"Oh, what happened?" Chen Fan said indifferently.

Jiang Tanqiu, annoyed, said, "I asked the waiter earlier. The resort has 12 luxury villas and 57 themed rooms. Chu Minghui was assigned to Villa 2, and Li Yichen to Villa 11. Xu Rongfei, Jiang Churan, Yang Chao, and even Mo Xiaoshan were assigned to the top-ranked themed rooms. Only you and I were given the last rooms."

Chen Fan frowned, remembering that his room number was indeed 56.

Jiang Tanqiu, angry, said, "The 57 themed rooms get better the closer they are to the front. Rooms after number 50 are in the corners, with the worst room quality and service."

"It's free, so why are you so picky?" Chen Fan shook his head.

Despite this, Jiang Tanqiu remained unhappy.

He had finally brought Xiao Qian out to play, but she was staying in a luxury villa or top-themed room, while he was in a small wooden house by the water.

Especially when Xiao Qian saw that she couldn't compare to Jiang Churan and Xu Rongfei, and even Xiao Xiao, she was already very upset.

When everyone arrived at the restaurant, they marveled at the luxury of the lakeside resort and chattered about how beautiful their rooms were.

Li Yichen, being a gentleman, offered to give his Villa 11 to Jiang Churan, but she politely declined with a smile.

Xiao Qian sat in a corner, feeling a deep sense of frustration.

Seeing the facilities in others' rooms, including indoor swimming pools and hot springs, and comparing it to her small wooden house of just a dozen square meters, where she had to use the public hot springs, she felt increasingly angry.

'Ah, I searched for a boyfriend for so long, but he turned out to be the least useful.'

She looked at Li Yichen, Chu Minghui, and Yang Chao, then at her boyfriend, Chen Fan, who sat silently, and shook her head.

Jiang Tanqiu noticed his girlfriend's unhappiness and quickly pulled Chen Fan aside, saying he would get some Australian lobsters to cheer Xiao Qian up.

Just as they left, Liu Teng arrived.

"How do you like my resort?" Liu Teng said indifferently.

"Of course, Brother Liu is indeed Brother Liu," Yang Chao flattered.

Liu Teng remained silent, staring at Chu Minghui.

Among the people from Chuzhou, only Chu Minghui caught his eye. He was mainly interested in befriending this young master.

Although he was just a candidate for the Black Dragon, he was not to be underestimated. Each Black Dragon member starts as a second lieutenant, and after retiring, they have a broad future, with many reaching the rank of division commander or even general.

Chu Minghui nodded and said, "It's indeed good, Brother Liu has put a lot of effort into it."

"Haha, with that, I'm reassured," Liu Teng finally smiled.

They sat down, and the dishes started coming one after another.

As they ate and talked, the conversation soon turned to the most famous event in Jiangbei recently.

"I heard that in a week, Grandpa Wei will gather all the big shots in Chuzhou, and even the mysterious Master Chen will appear," a young master from Qingshui City said in a low voice.

"That's right," Li Yichen nodded and glanced at Yang Chao, "The venue is set at my brother's Tiancheng Grand Hotel."

"Oh?"

The young masters from Qingshui City looked at Yang Chao with newfound respect.

With so many big shots from Jiangbei gathering, the venue must be the top hotel. For Yang Chao's family to host this event, they must have considerable strength.

"Brother Yang's family runs a five-star hotel, I must have been negligent," Liu Teng said, raising his glass slightly.

Yang Chao quickly stood up, holding his glass with both hands, "Brother Teng, you flatter me. My family just runs a hotel, how can we compare to Brother Teng and Brother Liu's vast enterprises?"

"Brother Teng, can you give us some information about Master Chen?" a woman with heavy eye makeup interjected.

"Right, Brother Teng, they say you attended that event and met Master Chen," another young master added quickly.

"Brother Liu, tell us about it," even Zhao Chen was curious.

Jiang Churan and others also put down their chopsticks, looking curious.

The name 'Master Chen' had been on everyone's lips for months, but none had actually seen him.

"Ha," Liu Teng put down his glass and said, "Indeed, I did go to Qingyang Town with my uncle and met Master Chen."

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, what does Master Chen look like?" Zhang Yumeng asked, like a star-struck fan.

"Master Chen is much younger than you think, possibly around our age," Liu Teng said slowly.

"No way!" Everyone was shocked.

Although it was said that Master Chen was young, everyone thought he was at least in his early thirties. Who would have thought he was only in his twenties?

"Only around twenty years old, and so powerful, it's incredible," Lou Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, eyes wide with disbelief.

"Indeed, at our age, we might just be graduating from university, but he has already made a name in Jiangbei, on par with the richest man Shen and Tang Yuanqing," Jiang Churan's usually cold face showed a rare expression of admiration.

She suddenly thought of Chen Fan. If Chen Fan were Master Chen, would she still be hesitant between him and Li Yichen? She would probably have already pursued Chen Fan.

'But that's impossible,' Jiang Churan shook her head.

The gap between Chen Fan and Master Chen was too great, like the distance between heaven and earth.

"Master Chen?"

Even Chu Minghui's pupils contracted.

He thought he was already strong for entering the Black Dragon at seventeen, but compared to Master Chen, who had subdued Jiangbei by his twenties, his achievements were nothing.

"Ugh, I wish I could meet Master Chen," Zhang Yumeng's eyes sparkled with stars.

Not just Yang Chao and others, but even the young masters from Qingshui City, even if they had heard this news before, were filled with longing.

'If my boyfriend were Master Chen, I wouldn't have to suffer like this,' Xiao Qian sighed inwardly, but thinking of Jiang Tanqiu's playful nature, she felt even more disappointed.

However, she felt that the name 'Master Chen' seemed familiar.

'Strange, where have I heard it before?' Xiao Qian frowned, thinking.

"So young, how did he become the leader of Jiangbei?" Li Yichen, who was very shrewd, drew a deep breath.

"Ha, the power of Master Chen is beyond your imagination," Liu Teng sneered, his eyes showing a look of admiration. "I went to the tournament with my uncle and saw Master Chen..."

At this moment, Chen Fan and Jiang Tanqiu returned to the table, and Liu Teng's eyes caught sight of them, his body stiffening.

"Chen... Chen... Chen..."

He was as stiff as a wooden puppet.

The 'Chen' character, he couldn't say it.
