The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Xia Yan, a passionate girl with fiery spirit, captivated countless boys in the entire school with just a brief dance during military training.

Even Ma Jia, a true second-generation rich kid, was unsettled.

After returning to his dormitory, he immediately summoned his two strategists, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, to discuss countermeasures.

"You guys need to think of a way for me, how can I win Xia Yan's heart?"

Wolong No. 1 said, "That's easy. Just make full use of Jia Shao's money-making skills and put a big heart shape in front of her with 100,000. I don't believe she won't be moved."

Chen Jiye, who was standing to the side, felt incredibly awkward. They had never seen a girl from a wealthy family before.

The rubber band on Xia Yan's head costs over ten thousand yuan.

Ten thousand is probably nothing to her. Ma Jia is more discerning; he's been rich since childhood, not some nouveau riche.

"Can't you think of something useful? If Xia Yan were that kind of materialistic woman, would I need you guys to come up with a solution for me?"

"If 100,000 isn't enough, then 1 million will do."

Ma Jia realized that these two in the dorm were good at following her around, but they were completely clueless when it came to serious matters.

"Chen Jiye, do you have any good ideas?"

"I advise you not to make a move on her; you're several levels below her."

"Chen Jiye, you probably don't know the power of the Ma family!"

Ma Jia scoffed, "In a place like Shanghai, my Ma family is at least in the top 100. What kind of woman wouldn't I be good enough for?"

Chen Jiye shook his head. "If you don't believe me, go ask your parents and see if they think you're good enough for that woman from the Xia family."

Xia Yan comes from a prestigious family.

Her mother and her own mother were best friends.

Chen Jiye met her when he was very young, but he was raised by his grandfather and lost contact with Xia Yan.

"Chen Jiye...you get out here right now!"

Downstairs in the boys' dormitory, Xia Yan boldly used a megaphone to shout Chen Jiye's name, which drew the attention of all the boys in the building.

"Is that Xia Yan's voice?"

Ma Jia immediately took the two boys from her dormitory to watch the excitement.

Xia Yan is truly a fiery woman; gentleness is nonexistent, and fierceness is etched into her very bones.

She had always played the role of a good girl at home, but unexpectedly, her true nature was revealed after she went to university.

Chen Jiye was still writing software programs in his dormitory when he saw Xia Yan making such a commotion, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised.

He had no recollection of ever interacting with the two.

Xia Yan not only attracted countless boys to crane their necks to watch, but even girls couldn't escape her charms.

A large group of girls also gathered outside the boys' dormitory.

After Chen Jiye went downstairs, Ning Jing secretly followed behind him.

Xia Yan was very direct; she had no intention of hiding her identity during her university years.

"Chen Jiye is giving you a choice: either you become my sugar daddy, or I become your sugar daddy. You choose one!"

Xia Yan is indeed very beautiful. She can sing and dance, and she especially loves racing motorcycles.

She has a somewhat rebellious personality.

"Are you crazy? Why are you saying such things out of the blue?"

"Do you think I like you? My mom said if I don't win you over in college, she'll break my leg."

"Your mom said that's your mom's business. Why are you making such a big fuss? Are you afraid people won't know our two families know each other?"

"What do you have to hide?"

Xia Yan was the kind of woman who was fiery. She picked up a megaphone and shouted, "Chen Jiye, aren't you the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Chen family in Shanghai, and the future heir of the Chen family?"

"Your mother likes me very much. When I was six years old, she jokingly said that she wanted me to be your wife. My mother took this seriously. When I was seven years old, she forced me to learn the piano and dance every day because she said that only in this way would you marry me in the future. "Chen Jiye, I don't like playing the piano at all, and I don't like being like those delicate and pretentious women who only know how to please their husbands at home every day."

“I’ve hated you since I was a child, and I’ve hated you for twelve years.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiye couldn't bring himself to hate her anymore. "I've never let my mother say that to me, so I don't like you either."

Xia Yan snorted, "You just don't like me, but I really hate you."

“You don’t need to do this. If you don’t want to, I can talk to my mom and she will definitely not put any more pressure on you.”

"Then you must keep your word."

Xia Yan arrived quickly and left even faster.

But with her leaving, Chen Jiye's true identity was exposed, and it was no longer possible for him to return to being an ordinary college student.

The Chen family's influence in Shanghai has never disappeared; in fact, it's no exaggeration to say that it has become legendary.

Under such circumstances, even if he wanted to remain calm, it would be like a tree wanting to be still but the wind not stopping.

That chubby kid Ma Jia is even more outrageous. He used to say he wanted to pursue Xia Yan, but now it's all just empty talk.

After everyone has slept, who will remember what he said?

"Brother Ye, please accept my deepest respect."

Ma Jia is truly flexible and adaptable; she slid down to her knees in front of Ji Ye.

I don't know how he manages to maintain that weight.

Anyway, he just stood there and called him "godfather" in front of everyone.

“I was blind to your greatness before, but from today onwards, you are my only idol, Ma Jia.”

The other two in the dorm were dumbfounded. Was it really that exaggerated?
All Xia Yan did was confess her feelings to Chen Jiye and say that he was the third-generation heir of the Chen family.
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm just an ordinary college student."

There were too many students gathered outside the dormitory, and Chen Jiye didn't want to attract attention, so he called to Ning Jing and they made a quick getaway.

Ma Jia didn't chase after them; instead, she excitedly took out her phone to call her parents.

That's what he said on the phone.

"Mom...you've struck gold! Your son has discovered the third-generation heir of the Chen family while I was at university!"

"What? Your school really has a third-generation heir of the Chen family?"

"I'm 100% sure, and that woman from the Xia family personally confirmed it. Most importantly, he's my dorm roommate, hahaha~"

Ma Jiana appears to be fooling around, but he is actually very smart. He would just play around with ordinary women, but when he learned that Xia Yan had appeared at the university and was the campus belle during her freshman year, he was shocked.

He immediately wanted to pursue her relentlessly. His feelings for her were only one factor; the most important reason was that the Xia family was more powerful than the Ma family.

Once he can win Xia Yan's heart, his position in the family will be secure.

"Son, are you sure?"

"It's not a certainty, it's a sure thing."

"At all costs, acknowledge him as your godfather!"

Ma Jia stood alone outside the dormitory, laughing for a long time before she could recover.

The other two in the dormitory, seeing that he looked like he had gone mad, went up to him and asked, "Brother Jia, are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me? I was just struck by overwhelming happiness."

"The school beauty Xia has already gone after Chen Jiye, and you're still happy?"

Ma Jia shook his head. "You don't understand. Since he is the third-generation heir of the Chen family, let alone a school beauty, even a fairy from heaven or a national goddess from outside, would only be able to chase after him. People from the Chen family never need to pursue any woman. They only need to tell them, 'My surname is Chen, the Chen family of Shanghai.'"

"That's awesome?"

The other two students in the dormitory were college students from other places. They had just entered university and knew a lot about the companies under the Tengying Group, but they obviously did not know that the Tengying Group was owned by the Chen family.
