Liu Shihua and Zhang Xinlan sat next to each other, with Ye Chen facing them across a table laden with a lavish spread of dishes.

"This abalone is really nourishing!"

"These wood ear mushrooms are also great, crispy and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance, very nice!"

Ye Chen occasionally let out a word of praise as he started to ravage the table full of food, thoroughly enjoying himself.

However, only Ye Chen was reveling in the aroma of the meal; Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua each harbored their own thoughts, silently pushing food around in their bowls.

Liu Shihua was pondering how to face Zhang Xinlan in the future because of what had happened with Ye Chen, which made her feel particularly guilty towards Zhang Xinlan.

But, Liu Shihua didn't want to become love rivals with Zhang Xinlan, who had shown her immeasurable love. In fact, it could be said that Liu Shihua's achievements today were largely due to the immense contributions of Zhang Xinlan!

Zhang Xinlan was also lost in thought. The film production company was coming together smoothly, and soon she and Liu Shihua wouldn't be struggling on their own, but would be bosses of a vast film production company, a career achievement that made her very proud!

However, what made Zhang Xinlan feel truly fortunate was Ye Chen's affection for her. This legendary figure in the military, known as the ruthless Huabei King, treated her with tremendous gentleness and adoration. He had even entrusted his billion-dollar assets to her to manage, a trust and reliance that thrilled her and made her feel rather content!

Love and career success made Zhang Xinlan feel as if she were on top of the world!

Ye Chen toyed with the rice in his bowl, occasionally glancing over at the two beauties across from him, suddenly breaking into a broad smile.

Liu Shihua and Zhang Xinlan each had their own thoughts, and perhaps they did not know what the other was thinking, but Ye Chen could guess their thoughts.

However, Ye Chen did not want to get entangled with Liu Shihua, as he was with Zhang Xinlan, making Liu Shihua effectively his sister-in-law. A relationship with his sister-in-law would simply be too twisted!

"Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!"

Just when the atmosphere at the dinner table was inexplicably strange, Ye Chen's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and a smile formed on his lips.

"So she's finally getting impatient, huh!"

Ye Chen looked at the caller ID on his phone. Tong Xingtong finally wanted to have a serious talk with him. After all, if the pharmaceutical company project succeeded, they would reap enormous profits.

Ye Chen's elixirs had miraculous effects, and securing a market for them would put them ahead of the competition. Indeed, this tempting opportunity was too much for anyone to pass up. Chu Yanran, a business empress whether in terms of status, fame, or tactics, was undoubtedly his ideal partner!

"Hello?" Ye Chen answered the phone.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Ye Chen?" A woman's voice came from the other side.

"Yes, it is. May I know who this is?" Ye Chen furrowed his brows, certain that it had to be Tong Xingtong on the line, yet the voice on the other end wasn't hers!

"May I know which Ye Chen you are?" The woman asked, an utterly bizarre question.
