99 Villas of Huang Haoran

  United Kingdom, London.

  Early morning.

  Floating in the British damp fog, last night's rain washed away, the sun broke out of the clouds, casting a sliver of morning sunlight.

  In summer, this 'yin' sunny and rainy season, in the eyes of the British, owning sunshine is a delightful thing.

  Piccadilly Circus, a deep red double-decker bus, slowly drives through the bustling streets, passing by ancient buildings with rich history, various shop windows shining with soft yellow lights, exuding a fashionable and romantic atmosphere. The streets are filled with vibrant flowers, especially their beloved roses, said to have been born from the blood of Jesus, each bloom legendary and breathtakingly beautiful.

  The British take pride in their traditions.

  The Royal Hotel, located in the heart of Britain's busiest district, already has guests from all over the world coming and going by dawn, riding in stretch limousines. London, this European financial hub, makes the Royal Hotel a concentrated service for multiculturalism.

  Presidential Suite.

  Luxurious room, still reeking of last night's drunken revelry. The curtains are half open, casting a dark shadow on the floor. A deep purple carpet with an unusual pattern adds to the air of mystery. A man's suit and shirt are carelessly draped over a grey oval-shaped sofa. On the coffee table in front of the sofa, two highball glasses sit, one placed horizontally across a magazine. The cover features a young Chinese entrepreneur who has made it big in Europe, with a powerful and passionate smile on his face. However, the glass is strategically placed right over his face, only revealing his strong chin.

  As morning sunlight emerges, the temperature gradually rises, and the cold air in the house slowly dissipates, releasing a hint of last night's intimacy in the quiet room.

  On the ancient-colored quilt, a man lay on his stomach, fast asleep. The quilt was lightly covering his lower back, revealing his bare upper body. His skin tone was soft and clear, with gentle lines of muscles. His face was pressed against the soft quilt, only showing the left eye, long eyelashes covering the lower part of his eyes, a straight nose bridge, and tightly pursed lips, exuding a hint of stubbornness as he breathed lightly, causing his body to rise and fall slightly.

  There is something different in the room.

  He felt it in his dream, his body seemed to have a slight shock, he suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out alert and vigilant light, quickly scanning everything in front of him, all luxurious furniture and decorations. At first, he was puzzled for a moment, then like lightning, he flipped over, looking around the huge presidential suite, still lingering with last night's passion and excitement, the air was filled with the lingering scenes of what happened last night, so where is this person today?

  He first looked at it with a mixture of suspicion and urgency, and indeed saw on the edge of the bed, on a small golden tray, a small card floating with rose fragrance!

  He swiped it once, took over the small card, opened it, and saw the light blue English words on it: I'm gone.

  A deep red lip print was imprinted on the three words, exuding a elegant flavor. His mother's finger brushed against the lip print, still wet.

  His eyes lit up, and he immediately wrapped a white towel around his waist, tightened it, and ran barefoot to the window. He pulled open the white curtains and saw that there was indeed a woman outside, wearing a rose-colored short skirt, with sensual curly hair, high heels, and a Chanel bag slung over her shoulder. She walked slowly and elegantly in the direction of the street, exuding an English girl's unique charm. His eyebrows furrowed, and without saying another word, he turned around and ran barefoot out of the house!

  The hotel lobby is increasingly crowded with guests coming and going.

  The elevator door opened with a "ding", and a figure quickly rushed out of the elevator, shouting loudly: "Malisa!!"

  "Oh my god!" Everyone in the lobby turned around, seeing that the man had actually run out wrapped only in a bath towel. Although they knew he was physically fine, they were all shocked and exclaimed. The Chinese receptionist and deputy manager of the lobby also stared at him in surprise.

  He sprinted out of the increasingly bustling British streets on a clear morning, panting and standing in the middle of the road, only to see Malisa's sexy figure get into a taxi, which slowly drove away!!!

  "Ha!" He really helplessly smiled with a gasp, bare-chested, not caring about other people's gaze, looking at the taxi that was driving away, shaking his head in disappointment, but smiling understandingly, and a ray of sunshine flashed across his face!

  The deputy manager, Godorn, quickly walked out of the hotel and handed over a black mobile phone with a screen, saying: "President, your call."

  Zhuang Hanran was still standing on the street, casually picked up his phone and answered: "Uh-huh!"

  The other party transmitted a gentle and soft 'feminine' tone, respectfully saying: "Chairman, the headquarters has called you, please return to the country immediately to handle urgent matters!"

  Zhuang Huangran's eyes narrowed, holding his phone, looking at the taxi in front of him, disappearing into the historic streets, his eyes flashed with eagle-like eyesight, and he replied: "Got it."

  Asian hotel chain group.

  Headquarters.

  The phone in the secretary's office rang suddenly.

  "Hello, Asia Hotel Chain Group."

  She listened quietly, then her facial expression changed with a hint of surprise, and immediately said: "I know! I'll inform the president right away."

  Office of the President's Secretary

  The phone rang again quickly. 14887356

  "Dong Ying picked up the phone and said softly: 'Hello, this is the Secretary's Office of the President of Asia Hotel.'"

  "Hello, this is the Asian headquarters. We just received a call from the UK headquarters saying that the CEO will arrive at the Asia Grand Hotel at 12 o'clock today to hold a meeting regarding the underwater hotel and the trillion-dollar development case!" The secretary-general said quickly.

  Dong Ying immediately raised her wrist to look at the time, it was already 11:30. She hung up the phone and quickly turned around to face the 15 colleagues in the secretary's office, saying: "Everyone, please get ready, General Manager Zhuang from the UK headquarters will arrive at the Asia Hotel soon, and a meeting for the trillion-dollar project plan will be held at any moment! So everyone, suspend your lunch break and prepare sufficient materials, the meeting can start at any time."

  While all the secretaries were shocked, Dongying had already turned around and quickly walked out of the secretary's room to the president's office, knocking on the door.

  "Come in." A low, muffled voice.

  Dong Ying immediately pushed open the door and walked into the office, seeing Jiang Tiankui wearing a black striped shirt today, looking handsome and majestic as he sat at his desk, seriously and intently reviewing documents.

  "President... I just received a call saying that President Zhuang has returned to the country on a private plane and will arrive in the lobby of our hotel in twenty minutes." Dongying said quickly.

  Jiang Tiankuai immediately lifted his head and looked at Dongying.

  The entire hotel lobby was suddenly shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. Xu Zeming, Man Hong and Ya Hui were about to hand over their shift and make an appointment to have lunch together at the restaurant when they heard the front desk phone ringing, and all the phones in the lobby rang simultaneously. The front desk receptionist quickly answered the call and immediately looked up at Xu Zeming and said: "Manager! We just received a notification from the administrative department that Mr. Zhuang, the chairman of Huan Ya, will arrive at our hotel soon, please inspect each department immediately."

  Xu Zeming and Chen Manhong were looking at each other strangely just now, the intercoms of various managers also quickly rang with words from the administrative department, their faces changed instantly, and they quickly walked towards the doors of various departments!

  Suddenly, the entire hotel, all departments 'doors' rang out with enthusiastic telephone sounds, conveying the instructions from the administrative center, asking each manager and leader to inspect quickly!

  There are still fifteen minutes!

  The deputy manager of the lobby quickly came to the front desk, inspecting the ten receptionists in front of him. Each one was wearing a white uniform with a pure gold name tag, their hands clasped together and placed lightly on their left abdomen, their head held high, chest out, although their face showed a smile, it was still stiff with tension. The deputy manager felt a wave of worry, took a few steps back, and examined the details of the reception area again, when suddenly the elevator in the lobby rang out with a "ding".

  Jiang Tiankuai put on a black suit, although the collar was open, he immediately exuded an aura of limitless momentum. He led the group's high-level executives and secretaries to quickly exit the elevator, just as they were about to enter the hotel lobby, they heard a loud and clear laughter coming from outside the hotel.

  Jiang Tiankuo stopped in his tracks and looked towards the entrance along with everyone else.

  "The Asian hotel is indeed a thousand miles in one day!" A gentle and pleasant male voice came from outside the door, bringing with it a wave of hot summer air. In everyone's unguarded moment, a man appeared in the lobby, dressed in a white elegant suit, light blue shirt, and standing at 190 cm tall, exuding a unique European gentlemanly demeanor. His majestic presence was awe-inspiring, and his smile was even more dazzling than the historical marks on the grand lobby. His handsome British face, deep eyes, and charming smile seemed to hide a sharp and piercing gaze. His straight nose and thin, sensual lips revealed his one-quarter British noble bloodline.

  Jiang Tiankuang looked at him with a serious face, his deep eyes flashing with a hint of strong light, which disappeared immediately, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he led the crowd towards Zhuang Huangran.

  Zhuang Haoran led his male and female secretaries, the three powerful assistants Lin Chuyan, Su Luohe, Leng Mohan, and a group of high-level executives, with a long-unseen, touching smile, quickly walking towards Jiang Tianpei, stretching out his hand, emphasizing his tone, intentionally calling: "President Jiang!"

  Jiang Tiankuai heard this voice and couldn't help but smile wryly. He stretched out his hand to greet Zhuang Haoran, saying: "Director Zhuang..."

  "Don't call me that! This is your territory, I need to be more careful." Zhuang Hao Ran deliberately glared at Jiang Tian Kuai, pausing for three seconds.

  Jiang Tiankuai also slowly looked towards Zhuang Haoran.

  Four eyes met, sparks flew, and in a flash of lightning, it ignited like a stormy rain three years ago.

  Finally... The two looked at each other simultaneously, held each other's hands tightly, and smiled.

  "Director Zhuang"

  "Chairman Chiang"

  The high-level officials of the Asian Group and the Asia-Pacific Group bowed to each other's CEOs, bowing their heads in respect. Finally, the hotel manager led the deputy manager of the lobby, the most capable managers of various departments, and the front desk staff to bow solemnly to Zhuang Huanran, respectfully calling out: "Chairman Zhuang..."

  "No need for formalities! I didn't tell you because I didn't want to trouble you." Zhuang Hao Ran said with a bright and handsome smile.

  "It's rare for you to return home, and they're lucky to see you, so naturally they want to show more respect." Jiang Tiankui said with a polite smile.

  Zhuang Haoran listened, and then laughed again, walking towards the elevator with Jiang Tiankui, saying: "The UK has been raining every day recently, it's so rainy that people's hearts are about to get moldy. Returning home, seeing the azure sky, dazzling sunshine, and the vast ocean, one's mood naturally becomes cheerful. Seeing you is even more 'refreshing'! You will always be the 'spiritual' pillar of our Asian Group!"

  "Alright, alright." Jiang Tiankui was finally amused by him, and the high-level officials following behind him also smiled one after another.

  "I'm telling the truth. Look at your good secretary, she's gotten even more beautiful!" Zhuang Hao Ran suddenly turned his head, sparkling eyes, intentionally with a hint of ambiguity, looking towards Dong Ying.

  Dong Ying's face turned slightly red, and she immediately looked at Zhuang Huangran with some embarrassment, saying: "Director Zhuang, don't tease me anymore."

  Zhuang Haoran burst out laughing again, looking at Jiang Tiankuai and saying: "How is she still so shy? That year when I went to the UK, I entered your office, she thought I was a thug, picked up the globe, and knocked me unconscious. From then on, whenever she saw me, her face would turn red, making me feel quite embarrassed."

  Dong Ying saw Zhuang Huang Ran bring up this matter again, her face immediately turned red once more, truly not knowing what to say.

  "Look, she's blushing again." Zhuang Hao Ran couldn't help but laugh again, and turned around the hotel lobby with Jiang Tiankui, preparing to head towards the administrative building. At this moment, the elevator suddenly opened, and a 'girl' wearing the hotel uniform, holding a large bouquet of lilies, covered her face, panting, following Cao Yuqing's instructions, sent it to the Flying Boat Club. Because the flowers blocked her face, she didn't see clearly who was coming, only knowing that the president had returned, so she didn't dare make a sound, holding the flowers and standing aside waiting.

  "That time she knocked you out, she herself was so scared that she fainted at home for three days." Jiang Tiankuai rarely joked.

  "Really?" Zhuang Hanran couldn't help but laugh in surprise, glancing at Dongying while taking a step forward. At this moment, he felt a gentle figure about to pass by his side. His face suddenly changed color, and his hand tightened like iron around her slender arm, swiftly throwing the small body into the elevator across from them. As a girl's cry echoed out, the elevator doors closed.

  Everyone was just listening intently to the two CEOs who were chatting and telling light jokes, when suddenly a white shadow flashed by quickly. Everyone looked up and saw that the previously closed elevator door had opened, leaving everyone stunned.

  Inside the elevator.

  A hurried breathing sound came over.

  A tense and terrifying atmosphere permeated this small space.

  Zhuang Hanran faced the 'girl' in front of him, and together with that beautiful lily, surrounded by the elevator, lowered his head, and his eyes swept over a hint of emotional light, across the lily, looking at a small face that was vaguely visible.

  Tang Ke Xin clutched the pot of fragrant lily tightly, her face pale and pressed against the elevator wall. Even through the flowers, she seemed to feel his scorching chest, a wave of fiery heat emanating from him, mixed with the scent of British royal perfume. Her entire face flushed red, large beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead, rolling down along the corner of her right eye.

  Zhuang Haoran's facial expression froze, and he felt the 'girl' in his arms, her fearful trembling appearance, a hint of indescribable smile overflowed on his face. He slowly stretched out his index finger, gently opening one of the lily flowers between them, and suddenly saw a pair of clear and bright big eyes staring at him, round and wide open. The small nose was dotted with sweat, and the pink lips, like cherry blossoms, were slightly trembling, revealing white small teeth, faintly visible, and a hint of fragrance emanating from her mouth...

  His eyes sparkled with a hint of ambiguity, his fingers lightly touched her pink lips, and then slowly moved down. In the midst of Ke Xin's unguarded moment, his slender and handsome fingers suddenly reached the name tag on her chest, lightly touching it. The three characters "Tang Ke Xin" on the name tag changed from being upside-down to right-side-up. He lowered his head, gazing at the name on the tag, saying: "Remember! In this place, everything can be turned upside down, except for your name."

  Tang Ke Xin widened her eyes, seeing the handsome and majestic man in front of her. His bright and shiny eyes had a radiant glow like a hot summer day. He had a slightly British nose bridge that was 'tall' and 'sexy'. His tightly closed lips were pursed together, making women involuntarily imagine his kiss. When he looked at people, it seemed as if he would grasp their soul firmly. Her eyes blinked rapidly, not daring to move, a strange feeling of fear rising from her body.

  Zhuang Huanran didn't look at her again, but the sharp taste on his face earlier was gone, replaced by a faint, indescribable smile. He slightly adjusted his suit and lightly pressed the door open with his fingers.

  The elevator slowly opened.

  Everyone stared at Zhuang Hanran in surprise, not knowing what had happened. But he walked out with a half-smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with a hint of ambiguous smile, as if he had just ended a deep and lingering kiss. Many girls looked at him with this gaze, and they inexplicably blushed.

  Jiang Tiankuai fell silent for a moment, his eyes darting towards the elevator, and unexpectedly saw Tang Kexin standing frozen in fear inside the elevator, drenched in sweat, not daring to move. His eyebrows furrowed.

  Zhuang Hanran calmly looked at everyone's surprised expressions, smiled and turned around, looking at Tang Ke Xin and said: "Come out!"

  Tang Ke Xin blinked her big eyes, first looking at him with fear, then shocked to see Jiang Tian Kuai who hadn't been seen for days staring at her with a gloomy face. The high-level executives behind him also looked at her in surprise. Her face quickly turned red again, why did she have the feeling of being caught cheating? She seemed to be about to cry, like a trembling little 'chicken', hugging a lily 'flower', and walked out of the elevator with trepidation.

  Zhuang Haoran looked at her and smiled ambiguously again.

  Jiang Tiankuang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Tang Kexin with suspicion.

  Tang Ke Xin's face was completely red as she hugged that bouquet of lilies, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

  Zhuang Haoran looked at her like that, and couldn't help but smile. He walked over to her side with a sly gait, picked up one of the transparent red-hearted lilies, put it under his nose for a sniff, closed his eyes to savor the fragrance spreading across his body, then smiled contentedly and handed the lily in his hand to Dongying, saying: "For you."

  "Ah?" Dongying somewhat absent-mindedly accepted the perfume lily.

  Zhuang Haoran fell silent, walking alone with a smile on his face, looking handsome and carefree as he headed towards the administrative building. Jiang Tiankui stood aside, gazing deeply at Tang Kexin before silently taking a step forward, following the two CEOs. The other high-level executives and secretaries also quickly followed, still casting strange glances at Tang Kexin as they walked.

  Tang Ke Xin's heart was pounding, her face twisted in a scowl, the person in front of her whizzing by, she finally let out a heavy sigh.

  Administrative building.

  A conference hall for nearly a thousand people!

  The conference hall was packed with high-level executives from the Asian Group and the Asia-Pacific Group. The LCD screens around the grand hall suddenly lit up, showing high-level executives from hotels all over the world, vice presidents and general managers who invested in other industrial chains, secretaries and assistants of the two major groups, quickly shuttling back and forth in the conference hall, arranging various materials for the upcoming meeting. Dongying was even more nervous, leading her secretary to check the data on the chip in the recording room one last time.

  Many high-level discussions are underway regarding the long-overdue underwater hotel plan, and today may bring a 'definitive' answer!!

  The two chairmen walked into the hall amidst a chorus of cheers.

  Everyone in the high-rise immediately stopped discussing and stood up at the same time, looking towards that dark brown double door!

  The double doors burst open with a loud bang!

  Jiang Tiankuai and Zhuang Haoran, two world-renowned legendary figures, strode confidently into the spotlight of public expectation, their faces stern and unyielding. With an aura of majesty, they walked to the central position in the conference hall, ascended a three-tiered staircase, and swept their gaze over the high-ranking officials present.

  "Chairman——" The high-level executives of the Asian Group and the high-level executives of the Ring Asia Group bowed their heads in respect.

  Jiang Tiankuai and Zhuang Haoran stood up from their respective seats, hearing the call, once again scanning each other's forces with a gradual gaze, knowing that a new war was about to unfold, they both smiled slightly, their eyes flashing with powerful light, elegantly sitting in their positions, signaling the formal start of the meeting.

  The whole scene was silent and still!

  Dong Ying Huan glanced around the room, and immediately instructed his colleagues to launch today's first underwater hotel project proposal. The data presentation of the underwater hotel plan began playing, and the designer took the stage to explain that the underwater hotel would be the "trend" of the new century. The massive engineering project required to build the hotel was estimated to take a thousand billion yuan and had already been signed by some small shareholders and Jiang Tiankuai. Currently, they were waiting for the decision of Zhuang Haoran, another key figure in the Asian conglomerate.

  The whole scene fell silent again, and at the same time, they lifted their heads and looked towards Zhuang Huanran.

  Zhuang Hanran slowly opened the plan book, hiding the gentle smile on his face, and his eyes gradually browsed through the plan book bit by bit...

  Everyone was waiting quietly with bated breath.

  Come back in about an hour! Sorry, due to editing, the post was delayed.
