Chapter 496 The Crescent Moon Remains the Same

"My advice is not to rush things, but to gradually build up Yan Yan's authority to ensure a smooth transition of power."

Gao Dongxu looked at Huang Kewu and suggested, "As you said, these are turbulent times, and the worst thing we can do is to be simplistic and crude. We should try to avoid causing internal turmoil and uncertainty."

Huang Kewu put down his chopsticks, propped his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together, and looked intently at Gao Dongxu, saying, "Tell me your suggestion—"

"Actually, it can be compared to the situation when Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen. Of course, Zhu Yunwen is a typical negative example, as he simply and crudely targeted those with vested interests, and the biggest loser was the Huang family..."

Huang Yanyan, who was sipping her bird's nest soup, looked up when she heard this, her eyes sparkling with thought.

“So my advice is,” Gao Dongxu turned to Huang Yanyan, his tone becoming gentle yet firm, “that after Yanyan officially takes over, don’t rush into a major reshuffle. Those diligent and responsible senior executives who are willing to cooperate can certainly be retained. As for key positions…”

A slight smile played on his lips. "We can gradually introduce fresh blood, giving them opportunities to adapt and prove themselves."

Most importantly, the stability of the core team is crucial. Many of the older generation have watched Yan Yan grow up; with proper communication, I believe they will fully support her. Even if they don't, it will reduce their resistance towards Yan Yan.

Gao Dongxu looked at Huang Yanyan, his eyes sharpening, and said, "As for those who are just trying to cause trouble and betray us, make a list. I believe these people are not clean either. When the time comes, just find something to do, arrest them, and deal with them slowly."

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Huang Yanyan smiled sweetly and nodded, saying, "Yes, don't worry, I'm confident I can ensure a smooth transition."

"Hehe, it's good that you're confident. As for those who come to provoke us and try to ruin our reputation, with me here, you don't need to worry," Gao Dongxu said confidently.

"Mmm." Huang Yanyan nodded with a sweet smile.

Through his verbal sparring with the Yao family, Gao Dongxu's expertise in identifying even counterfeit antiques is now beyond question. He has risen to prominence in the antique appraisal circle.

Hearing Gao Dongxu's promise, Huang Kewu's wrinkles gradually smoothed out, and he looked at him with satisfaction, saying, "You've got a conscience, kid."

After dinner, Gao Dongxu was seen off by Huang Yanyan, who was reluctant to part with him, and then drove away.

Back at the apartment building where Tang Nannan rented, Gao Dongxu took out a tomahawk steak set meal and a bottle of red wine from his spatial storage, packed them in a bag, and carried them upstairs from the car.

Gao Dongxu unlocked the door and entered. He saw Tang Nannan sitting at the computer desk, wearing a beige turtleneck sweater and black velvet pajama bottoms. She was swinging her ponytail, looking back at him, and said coquettishly, "Why are you only coming back now? I'm starving..."

Gao Dongxu chuckled, placed the tomahawk steak on the coffee table, and looked at her exquisite and beautiful face, saying, "Since you're starving, what are you waiting for? Come and eat."

"Hehe..." Tang Nannan hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the coffee table, took out the tomahawk steak set meal from the bag, and exclaimed with delight, "Tomahawk steak?!"

"smell good--"

Gao Dongxu smiled as he watched Tang Nannan eagerly open the box, close her eyes, and savor the aroma, asking, "Do you have a wine opener?"

"Yes, it's in that cupboard—" Tang Nannan, who couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork from the set meal box, stared with her bright eyes and started cutting the beef. She pointed to the cupboard and then put a piece of beef into her red lips, chewing the beef in her mouth with a satisfied smile.

“It’s so delicious—”

"boom--"

At this moment, Gao Dongxu also opened a bottle of red wine, took two wine glasses, walked to the coffee table, sat down next to Tang Nannan, poured red wine, and handed her a glass.

"Ding--"

Gao Dongxu smiled and touched her wine glass with his stemmed glass, then tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his glass.

Tang Nannan also picked up her wine glass, took a big gulp with a sweet smile, then picked up a piece of beef with her fork and brought it to Gao Dongxu's mouth.

Gao Dongxu smiled and opened his mouth to eat the beef, then looked at the smiling Tang Nannan and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"What?" Tang Nannan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she asked the question knowingly while eating her beef.

"Hehe, it's okay if you don't know. After dinner, I'll check it for you," Gao Dongxu said with a mischievous smile.

Tang Nannan immediately blushed, gave Gao Dongxu a shy glare, and said in a trembling voice, "You rascal—"

"You can't blame me for this. Being surrounded by such a stunning beauty like you, only able to look but not touch, is just too much of a torment. It's enough to drive a man suffocating," Gao Dongxu teased with a smile.

"Hmph, I'll let you suffocate then—" Tang Nannan blushed and said with a shy smile.

"Hehe..." Looking at Tang Nannan's cute and charming appearance, Gao Dongxu reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, whispering a few words in her ear. Tang Nannan immediately blushed and playfully punched Gao Dongxu's chest, saying in a trembling voice, "You're such a tease..."

"Eat quickly, and I'll check your injuries after you finish eating—" Gao Dongxu said, touching her conscience.

Tang Nannan immediately gave Gao Dongxu a playful shove, her pretty face flushed, and she said coquettishly with seductive eyes, "How am I supposed to eat like this..." "Hehe, you eat yours, I'll eat mine..." Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and said with a mischievous smile.

. . . . . .

The morning light, like melting honey, slowly flowed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Gao Dongxu woke up with a yawn, threw off the covers, picked up a bathrobe from the chair next to him and put it on. He glanced at Tang Nannan, who was fast asleep amidst the messy bedding, displaying a lazy beauty that was completely different from her usual self, and gave her a smile that seemed to indicate he hadn't had enough.

She lay on her side in a natural and relaxed posture, her bare shoulders and neck showing beautiful lines. Her disheveled black hair contrasted sharply with her fair skin. Her slightly upturned lips and the occasional trembling of her eyelashes suggested a sweet dream. Her breathing was even and deep, and she was completely immersed in the tranquility of satisfaction.

"Mmm..." she suddenly whimpered, her left leg curling up and rubbing against the sheet. Her silk nightgown was already rolled up to her stomach. Sunlight climbed onto her shoulders, illuminating the fine downy hairs on her skin, like the hazy white frost on the surface of a ripe peach.

Her occasional unconscious, subtle movements, such as rubbing against the pillow or curling her toes, add a lively touch to the static images, revealing her unguarded and authentic side.

As Gao Dongxu gazed at her sleeping beauty, he couldn't help but reminisce about the exquisite beauty she had possessed the night before, a beauty that had brought him great joy and satisfaction.

Gao Dongxu opened the bedroom door and walked out, closing the door behind him. Hearing the sound, Tang Nannan, who was fast asleep, suddenly started to flutter her eyelashes, as if she was about to wake up. But in the end, she just buried her face deeper into the blankets that were still wet with the scent of the two of them, and her breathing became long and even again.

After Gao Dongxu finished showering and getting dressed, he left without disturbing the exhausted Tang Nannan.

I drove back to the Imperial Palace, changed into a bespoke suit and shirt, diamond cufflinks, and a Patek Philippe watch... Having donned all the luxury attire, I finally took out a feather-shaped, diamond-encrusted brooch and pinned it to the lapel of my suit.

At this moment, Gao Dongxu looked at himself in the full-length mirror and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

A handsome young man, unparalleled in the world, with elegant manners and refined manners.

Going downstairs, I saw Erpang, who was also dressed in a suit and exuded an imposing aura, representing both wealth and life.

"Hehe, not bad, very energetic. Let's go—"

Gao Dongxu smiled and praised him, then led the three of them out of the villa.

Erpang and Fusheng led the way in their Land Rover, while Fugui drove a Maybach with Gao Dongxu in tow.

At the entrance of the Huang family's old residence, Huang Yanyan, dressed in a white suit and a white silk long skirt, looked stunning. Upon seeing Gao Dongxu arrive, she immediately flashed a bright and sweet smile.

As Gao Dongxu got out of the car, he was immediately struck by Huang Yanyan's striking appearance: a white suit exuding a dashing and elegant aura, a white dress flowing like a fairy, long black hair wavy and curvaceous, paired with bright red lips and exquisite makeup, showcasing her captivating charm.

"How is it? Beautiful?" Lifting her skirt with both hands, she walked quickly to Gao Dongxu with a sweet smile in her white high heels, hugged his arm coquettishly, and asked with her fair and delicate face upturned.

"Absolutely stunning!" Gao Dongxu exclaimed sincerely.

"Giggle..." Hearing Gao Dongxu's praise, Huang Yanyan giggled with immense joy, feeling that her early morning preparations had been worthwhile.

"Let's go—" Gao Dongxu said softly, pulling her into his arms.

"Mmm." Huang Yanyan smiled radiantly, put her arm around Gao Dongxu's waist, and walked towards the Maybach.

Amidst the biting chill, the Crescent Hotel, which had been closed for sixty years, removed its construction barriers.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the magnificent archway. The Crescent Hotel, which had been silent for half a century, once again pushed open its pair of gilded nanmu wood doors—the eyes of the taotie pattern on the door knockers gleamed with a blood-red vermilion color.

Luxury cars and antique cars filled the parking lot. A wealthy man in Armani met an antique dealer in a Tang suit at the security checkpoint. Security personnel in black suits carefully checked every invitation.

The girls, dressed in Xiangyun yarn cheongsams, greeted each guest with a bright smile and guided them to their seats as they entered the store.

After Gao Dongxu got out of the car and helped Huang Yanyan out, they walked towards the entrance of the New Moon Hotel under the protection of Erpang, Fugui, and two others.

Their appearance as a handsome man and a beautiful woman attracted a lot of attention.

"Naive, look who's that—"

In the crowd, Fatty Wang, dressed in a suit and tie, nudged Wu Xie a few times with his elbow and gestured towards the entrance of the New Moon Hotel.

"Young Master Gao!" Wu Xie immediately recognized the handsome and dashing Gao Dongxu.

"This guy, all the beauties around him are top-notch..." Fatty Wang exclaimed sincerely, looking at the stunning Huang Yanyan.

Wu Xie nodded in agreement, equally amazed by Huang Yanyan's beauty. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of A Ning, who had been taken away by Gao Dongxu.
