Chapter 1753: Who is Ruthless

All of this was like a fictional drama, but it really happened to Caique.

Caique was a little afraid of the ruthless man who killed the family’s first heir. He feared that this ruthless man would come to his family to cause trouble in the future. But he also secretly thanked him. If it weren’t for this ruthless man, how could he be the family master?

However, Caique could only keep all of this in his heart. He had no friends in the family. When he was a kid, everyone fawned over the first heir. Even the unreasonable children were instructed by their parents to play with the first heir, and ignore him who was the second heir.

So Caique’s childhood was spent in loneliness. He had no friends and no siblings he was close to. After growing up, he moved to China and set up a company with his family’s entrepreneurial fund. Just like the second and third heirs from other ancestral families, he left the family as an adult and started his new life.

Some of these people were successful, some were downcast. Of course, after someone in their generation became the family master, they could go back and become an elder. Most of the downcast heirs had become elders, but those who became successful never returned.

Originally, Caique also thought that he would not return to the family forever, but he did not expect that he would return as the new family master.

Caique felt that it was all fake when he listened to his brothers and sisters in the family shower him with false flattery. Although he was very satisfied with the vanity, he really lacked a person he could speak to.

Naturally, Caique couldn’t tell his excitement of becoming a family master to these people! Could he tell others that he was grateful to that ruthless man that killed the first heir and made him the family master?

If Caique said so, he would likely become the public enemy in the family and cause public outrage among the family members.

Just when Caique was depressed, Chen Zhiye’s phone call came in! Caique still liked Chen Zhiye, his former underling, very much. Although Caique also knew that Chen Zhiye was somewhat fawning on him, he was still a person Caique could talk to.

So, Caique started to be a chatterbox, “Chen, do you know? I am actually a family master now! This feeling is really wonderful, much better than running the company before!”

“Really… That’s great, congratulations Boss!” Chen Zhiye flattered. He wanted to directly convince Caique to invest in a hotel in Song Jiang, but he didn’t really know how to begin. He was also afraid that Caique would refuse. He could only chat with Caique first.

“Yes, the entire family’s resources are available at my disposal! Before I was the family master, I still could not appreciate the power of this position. The background of my family is far more powerful than I expected. Regardless of business or politics, we have a lot of allies!” said Caique. “I have also become a member of Europe’s top society, which is something I had never even imagined before!”

“Actually, about this first heir and second heir, everyone is actually part of the family. The family master position should be yours!” said Chen Zhiye.

“Hehe, Chen, do you know how I became the family master? It is amazing!” said Caique. “Do you know that the first successor of the family is the only son of my previous family master? His grandfather is the family master of a super elite family over here. Because of this identity, he was rampant and domineering. However, he was really unlucky. He actually wanted to steal the girlfriend of a more ruthless man. In the end, not only was his grandfather’s family ruined, but he was also killed! Even his father was afraid that the ruthless man would retaliate against the family, so he had to step down as the family master. Therefore, I became the family master! Isn’t this whole thing amazing?”

Chen Zhiye knew for the first time how Caique became the family master after listening to his narrative. If what Caique said was true, this is really amazing!

“Boss, this is really amazing!” Chen Zhiye sighed, “But who is this person that the first heir offended? He is so powerful that he can destroy a top family. This strength…”

“This… is a secret within the family, it is inconvenient to disclose. However, I can tell you that that person is not a local, but he can still call the shots over here. Even the most qualified elite family here has a very close relationship with him… ” Caique was afraid to show any disrespect when mentioning this ruthless man, so he spoke carefully.

“That’s really a great character!” Chen Zhiye thought, I probably won’t be able to interact with characters on that level in this lifetime. The gap is too wide! My fight with a small figure like Yang Ming is probably the highlight of my career. Chen Zhiye became irritated when he thought of Yang Ming. He had to make Caique teach Yang Ming an unforgettable lesson.

“He’s too terrifying! However, our family is also quite powerful in Europe. The first heir was still too young. He was also very unlucky! Haha!” Caique said with a laugh. “I really want to thank that ruthless man. Without him, I could not be the family master! It’s just that the first heir died too tragically. I feel like I’m stepping over his body to get this position.”

“Heh, who cares about him. This kind of person is a fool. He still wants to steal another person’s woman even though he is useless. He deserves it! He doesn’t deserve to be pitied! Who asked him to be so ignorant? When he provoked that ruthless man, didn’t he think about the consequences?” When Chen Zhiye said until here, he couldn’t help thinking of his son, Chen Xiaolong, and Yang Ming. Chen Zhiye thought hatefully, Yang Ming, before you offended me and Chen Xiaolong, you didn’t wonder if you could afford to offend us or not. I’ll let you see what it means to be ruthless!

“It’s also true that the complexity of our European upper class society is far beyond your imagination!” said Caique. “Well, let’s not talk about him. I just wanted to find someone to talk about it, but there was no one to talk to. Chen, you should call me often in the future so that I can relax for a while.”

“Of course. Boss, I also want to call you often. I’m just afraid that I will disturb you.” Chen Zhiye was overjoyed when he heard Caique’s words. It just so happened that he didn’t want to break his relationship with Caique. Caique was a powerful backer, so naturally Chen Zhiye wanted to maintain this relationship. Especially when he heard that Caique had become the family master, he became even more determined. If I can depend on Caique for the rest of my life, I will not need to worry anymore. “When I called just now, I was abnormally nervous.”

“Hehe, it’s okay. You can call me anytime. I’m your friend now!” Caique laughed, “Right, Chen, you said at the start of the call that you were not doing very well. What do you mean? What happened? Is something wrong with the company?”

“There is no problem with the company, everything is fine now… but…” Chen Zhiye paused for a moment, and stalled a bit.

“Chen, what happened? Did something happen to your family? Is there anything I can help you with?” Caique was not stupid. Chen Zhiye likely called him at this time because there was a situation that he couldn’t settle, so he asked for help from his former boss. However, Caique wasn’t displeased by it. He had just taken up the mantle of family master, so his pride was at its peak. He was thinking about when he could show off his skills. It just so happened that Chen Zhiye asked for him at this time. Caique made sure to let Chen Zhiye see his power as the family master.

“Boss, you understand me!” Chen Zhiye did not forget to compliment Caique before he continued, “Boss, you know that my wife ran away with someone else years ago. Because of this, I love my son very much…”

Originally, Chen Zhiye planned to fabricate a reason for Caique to invest in Song Jiang, but he was afraid that Caique would no longer trust him after he found out. So after thoroughly thinking about it, Chen Zhiye planned to tell the truth. If Caique did not agree, he would throw away his face and convince Caique no matter what it would take.

“Chen, keep talking. Don’t be anxious, speak slowly,” Caique said after listening to Chen Zhiye.

Chapter 1754: Foreign Investment

Upon hearing that Caique wasn’t displeased, Chen Zhiye was immediately relieved and continued, “My son likes a female classmate from his junior high school. The two of them used to be childhood sweethearts. They grew up in the same village when they were young. This time, I took my son home to arrange a marriage for him and this female classmate, but there was another man with this female classmate. This man is also my son’s classmate. He used to be a bully in school. I don’t know what despicable means he used to get this female classmate, but he also has a certain power locally…”

“Oh, I understand. Someone took your son’s woman away, right?” Caique understood Chen Zhiye’s meaning.

“That is right. I plan to teach that kid a lesson and turn him into a poor beggar so that girl can return to my son!” said Chen Zhiye.

“Lesson? How do you want to teach him a lesson? Do you want me to help?” Caique didn’t understand, “Chen, I’m far away. How can I help you?”

“So, this boy owns the most prosperous hotel in my hometown. However, it is not as good as the hotels in the South, and of course it is not like the luxury hotels in Europe!” said Chen Zhiye. “Boss, isn’t your family in the hotel business? You can invest in a hotel here which is better than that kid’s hotel both in terms of service and price. Then that kid’s hotel will be out of business and will be closed down!”

“Oh… is that so.” Caique wasn’t a reckless person either. After listening to Chen Zhiye, he fell into contemplation. It took a while before he said, “Chen, opening a hotel and suppressing the competitor to bankruptcy requires complicated operations. It is not meant to be achieved just by opening a hotel better than his.”

“This…” After listening to Caique’s words, Chen Zhiye secretly panicked. He naturally knew that his ideas were a bit simple. He had never run a hotel, he only did foreign trade! This was how the foreign trade industry worked. Whoever had the price advantage was marketable. Whoever did not have the price advantage could only anticipate failure. He thought that the hotel industry should be similar to the foreign trade industry, but it now seemed to have many other considerations.

“However, Chen, don’t be discouraged!” Caique turned the thread of discussion, and laughed. “If people who don’t understand this industry enter this industry, let alone defeating the competitors, it would be a huge problem for their business to be viable! However, you looked for the right person this time! Our family started from the hotel industry. It has accumulated hundreds of years of experience in the management and competition of the hotel industry!”

“Ah!” Chen Zhiye’s mood immediately lightened up after his momentary sadness. “Boss, so do you agree?”

“Our family already runs several hotels in China’s first-tier cities. But there is no plan to invest in second-tier cities for the time being,” said Caique. “But for you, Chen, I can invest and build a big hotel in your hometown!”

“Boss, you are so good to me!” After hearing that, Chen Zhiye was so happy that he felt like he had just run from hell to heaven, “With your family as a backer, his hotel will be finished soon!”

“Hehe, don’t be too happy yet. Although our family is very confident about running a hotel, suppressing competition is a complicated and slow process. The results can’t be seen within a few days.” said Caique.

“I understand, I understand!” Chen Zhiye said quickly, “As long as there is hope!”

Now, Chen Zhiye just wanted to ruin Yang Ming. If this happened, he would have no time to accompany Chen Mengyan. By then, Chen Xiaolong could take advantage of the situation and his opportunities would be much greater.

“So that’s settled. I will come in the next two days with an inspection team!” said Caique.

“That’s great, Boss! I will surely pick you up!” Chen Zhiye was extremely excited. Boss is just too good to me! Originally, he thought that it would take a lot of begging for Caique to agree to help him, but he did not expect Caique to be so forthright!

In fact, the reason why Caique promised so quickly was that he wanted to show off to his old underling. Since he became the family master, he had always wanted to show off in front of his friends.

However, Caique didn’t have any friends since he was a child. The only friend he might have was Chen Zhiye. Although he could not be considered as a friend, he was always a person Caique could talk to, so he wanted to show off in front of Chen Zhiye.

At the family meeting, Caique proposed to invest in a five-star hotel in Song Jiang, China. Most people in the family thought that Caique was making bold changes upon assuming office, and didn’t find it strange. Anyway, the family was committed to the development of the hotel industry. It didn’t matter where the investment was. Since the family master wanted it to be in Song Jiang, then so be it!

These family members were trying to please Caique, so the family elders would undoubtedly approve of his proposal. In their eyes, it was just a hotel. It was only investing a few hundreds of millions. It was nothing compared to the entire family’s worth.

So the day after Chen Zhiye made the phone call, Caique took the management team of the family hotel business to Song Jiang by plane and was prepared to inspect the site.

Chen Zhiye took Chen Xiaolong and personally arrived at Donghai Airport to pick them up.

“Boss!” Chen Zhiye saw Caique coming out of the exit at a glance. Although Donghai Airport was an international airport, there were not many foreigners exiting. So the white-skinned Caique was eye-catching. The inspection team was equally eye-catching as it included a dark-skinned person.

“Chen!” Caique also saw Chen Zhiye and quickened his steps.

“Xiaolong, greet Uncle Caique!” Chen Zhiye patted his son’s shoulder and whispered to him.

“Uncle Caique!” Chen Xiaolong used to be uncomfortable with calling this foreigner who was just a few years older than himself as uncle, but today this address seemed to be more heartfelt.

“Chen Xiaolong is here too!” Caique also knew Chen Xiaolong and nodded at him.

Chen Zhiye led Caique and his party into the car and headed towards the Song Jiang International Hotel.

“This city is also developing well!” Caique nodded, looking at the street outside the car window. Originally, he thought this was a backwater place. Although the family would also invest in hotels here if he insisted, if he didn’t make any money from this, he would not make a good impression. Caique was contemplating about this on the way here.

When he arrived, he saw that the infrastructure here was not much worse than that of K City. It was more than enough to invest in a five-star hotel.

“Yeah, Song Jiang is also considered as an advanced city in the province!” Chen Zhiye explained, “Although it is not as bustling as the provincial capital, the investment here is good. Similar to the provincial capital, Donghai, there are a few five-star hotels. Although you could still make money by investing there, how could it be better than the monopoly here?”

“So, the Song Jiang International Hotel you are talking about now holds a monopoly on the hotel business?” asked Caique.

“Yes, the Song Jiang International Hotel is currently the best hotel here. Many rich people have no choice but to stay there!” said Chen Zhiye. “Even I have to live in the enemy’s territory. Boss, you can see how much of a monopoly it holds!”

“Oh? So, if I invest here, I have chosen the right place?” Although Caique also wanted to help Chen Zhiye, if he could make money at the same time, why not?

“That’s right!” Chen Zhiye nodded proudly, “Boss, you will also be staying at the Song Jiang International Hotel later. I have booked a room for you there. You can look at their decoration and realize the gap it has compared to international first-rate hotels!”

“We are staying there too? That’s great. I can look at their operations and services.” Caique nodded happily.
