Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 331 Chen Yan and Jiang Zhixin's Wedding Villa

Hearing Tang Yan's almost flirtatious words, Chen Yan simply smiled and politely declined, saying, "Never mind, I'm a bit shy, I'll blush sitting next to a beautiful woman."

When rejected by the man, Tang Yan's smile immediately faltered.

She gave Chen Yan a reproachful look, but still sat down next to him without a care.

There was nothing she could do; she came with a mission today.

Zhang Meng sat to Tang Yan's right.

Thus, the seating arrangement at the dinner table, from left to right, was Gao Yang, Wang Yun'an, Chen Yan, Tang Yan, and Zhang Meng.

A short while later, a man and a woman walked over from a distance.

The man looked to be around 30 years old, dressed in a suit and tie; his female companion was wearing a black V-neck dress, with exquisite makeup, and could be considered a 7 out of 10 beauty.

The man walked over to Chen Yan's table and asked with a smile, "Is this table empty?"

Chen Yan was playing on his phone and didn't reply, but Wang Yun'an immediately said, "Nobody's here."

"Haha, then let's sit here."

As he spoke, the man sat down with his female companion.

Then, the waiters began serving the dishes and then poured drinks for the guests at the table one by one.

The man who had just sat down was quite outgoing and took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Huang Zhiyuan. My father is the chairman of Xinhu Real Estate Group. May I ask what kind of business your families are in?"

Huang Zhiyuan noticed that the three men at the table were all young and subconsciously assumed they were also second-generation rich kids.

Upon hearing that the other party was the son of the chairman of a listed company, Wang Yun'an dared not be negligent and immediately replied:

"We're not rich kids. My name is Wang Yun'an, and I run a new-style tea beverage business. The guy next to me is my junior from school. He's much more capable than me; he's the founder of [Boss Direct Recruitment]."

"oh?!"

Huang Zhiyuan perked up immediately upon hearing about "Boss Direct Recruitment." His father had arranged for him to attend this chamber of commerce so that he could make some useful connections.

Huang Zhiyuan had also heard of Chen Yan, the founder of [Boss Zhipin].

I heard that he's still in college, but his net worth has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars!
We must befriend this kind of person!
Huang Zhiyuan made up his mind in his heart.

He immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up: "So it's Brother Chen, I've heard so much about you. It's our first meeting, so I, Huang Zhiyuan, will first offer you a toast."

Before Chen Yan could react, he had already downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

Since they've been so polite, it would be impolite not to respond.

So Chen Yan also picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and nodded to Wang Zhiyuan.

Seeing Chen Yan drinking with others, Tang Yan immediately raised her wine glass to him and said in a slightly coquettish voice, "Mr. Chen, I'd also like to toast you~"

As she spoke, Tang Yan's small hand was already on Chen Yan's thigh, only 1 centimeter away from a certain spot.

wipe!
I didn't expect that!
Tang Yan, who presents a pure and innocent image on the big screen, is actually so seductive?

Chen Yan smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and lightly clinked it against hers.

While Chen Yan was drinking, he suddenly paused for a moment.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it felt like that little hand had cheated by lightly touching there.

Chen Yan turned to look at Tang Yan, only to see her give him a tender and charming look.

Fortunately, Huang Zhiyuan spoke up at this moment: "Brother Chen, as the saying goes, those who are destined to meet will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart. The fact that we can meet here today is a destiny ordained by heaven!"

After he said those words, Chen Yan felt goosebumps rise on his hands.

This rich kid is a bit of a goofball!

Seeing that Chen Yan remained silent, Huang Zhiyuan continued, "My family owns several high-end residential projects for sale in Hangzhou. If you're looking to buy a house next time, you can contact me. I'll definitely give you an insider price."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Yan became somewhat interested: "Young Master Huang, do you have any villas for sale?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Huang Zhiyuan quickly replied, "It's right next to the Wulin business district. We developed 16 villas in Xinhu on Huancheng North Road."

"Brother Chen, I'm not bragging, but where else in downtown Hangzhou can you find villas like this?"

"There's no such thing. If you want to buy a villa, you can only go to a more remote area, don't you think?"

Chen Yan nodded in agreement, and that was indeed the case.

In 2015, Hangzhou had two core areas: the Wulin business district and the Qianjiang New City.

In a few years, two new core areas will emerge in Hangzhou: Qianjiang Century City and Future Science City.

Aside from the relatively remote Future Science City, it seems that no villa products have been launched in the other three core locations.

Most of them are large, single-level apartments.

Chen Yan asked with interest, "How many of these 16 villas are still unsold?"

Huang Zhiyuan took a sip of wine and said proudly, "Brother Chen, you've come at the perfect time. Of these 16 villas, only one remains unsold. If you want it, you'd better hurry."

"Really?"

Chen Yan wasn't sure if this guy was trying to trick him, but it didn't matter; he really did want to buy a villa.

Moreover, if what he said is true, villa properties located in the Wulin business district are absolutely rare and hard to come by.

"Young Master Huang, is it convenient for you to view the apartment tonight?" Chen Yan asked.

"convenient!"

Huang Zhiyuan readily agreed, "As long as Brother Chen has any needs, I will do my best to meet them."

"Okay, I'll bring someone else with me tonight."

"no problem!"

And so, Chen Yan and Huang Zhiyuan arranged to go house hunting together after the dinner.

"Come on, Miss Tang, Miss Zhang, let me toast you. I often watch your shows," Huang Zhiyuan said, raising his glass to the two actresses.

Zhang Meng said "thank you" and raised his glass to lightly clink it with Tang Yan's. Tang Yan smiled sweetly and asked, "Young Master Huang, which of our dramas do you like best?"

"Uh...this..."

Huang Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly, unable to explain it for the time being.

After all, he was just being polite; he didn't actually enjoy watching their TV dramas.

Seeing Huang Zhiyuan's embarrassed expression, Tang Yan covered her mouth with her hand and giggled.

The others laughed along, and the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became cheerful.

…………

Halfway through the banquet, the CEOs, first-generation entrepreneurs, and second-generation rich kids at the table couldn't sit still any longer. They all got up, picked up their glasses, and went to other tables to make connections.

After all, the most important thing about chambers of commerce is to expand one's network, and many big deals are even made in such settings.

Wang Yun'an and Huang Zhiyuan, who were at Chen Yan's table, also picked up their glasses and went to other tables to socialize, leaving Chen Yan alone and unmoved.

The assistant, Gao Yang, had long since disappeared, leaving only three women and Chen Yan, the only man at the table.

At this moment, Tang Yan quietly placed her small hand on Chen Yan's inner thigh and gently squeezed it: "When you go to look at houses later, Mr. Chen, could you take me with you? I'd like to see what the villas in Hangzhou look like too."

While enjoying Tang Yan's 'massage' service, Chen Yan said with a smile, "No, my girlfriend is coming over in a bit, and I'm afraid she'll get jealous."

Tang Yan paused her small hand that was massaging Chen Yan's inner thigh, and said with a hint of sadness, "So President Chen already has a girlfriend. She must be very beautiful."

Chen Yan looked Tang Yan up and down and said seriously, "Hmm, she's much prettier than you."

Hearing this, Tang Yan snorted in dissatisfaction and pulled her hand back.

Although she knew in her heart that there was nothing wrong with what people said, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But deep down she didn't believe that Chen Yan's girlfriend was really prettier than her. Even in the entertainment industry, where beauties abound, her looks were among the best.

Although Tang Yan was very confident in her looks, Chen Yan seemed too loyal to her feelings, so much so that her seduction had no effect.

Alas! The plan has failed!

Tang Yan opened WeChat and secretly sent a message to Zhen Rong: "President Zhen, the honey trap failed."

Not long after the message was sent, Zhen Rong and Guo Sheng walked towards Chen Yan's table with wine glasses in their hands.

"Ms. Tang, Ms. Zhang, thank you for attending this business meeting."

Before they even got close, Zhen Rong's loud voice could be heard.

Tang Yan and Zhang Meng also raised their glasses and stood up politely: "Thank you for your kind invitation, President Zhen and President Guo."

The four wine glasses clinked together in mid-air, making a crisp 'ding' sound.

Zhen Rong took a sip of wine and then casually glanced at Chen Yan: "Why doesn't President Chen go to toast other people?"

"I'm a bit tired today and don't feel like moving around," Chen Yan said casually.

"Hehehe~"

Zhen Rong chuckled a few times and explained his purpose: "I wonder if President Chen is free tonight? I'll treat you after the banquet."

"Me, Mr. Guo, and you—the three of us in the recruitment industry—let's find a club and have a few drinks together. We can discuss how to promote the development of the recruitment industry."

This statement is a typical test.

If Chen Yan agrees, it means that the harmonious situation of "three kingdoms" has been half successful.

But if he refuses, it means that this kid has a lot of ambition, so much so that he wants to monopolize the entire market by himself!
Chen Yan gave Zhen Rong a meaningful look, then smiled and waved his hand in refusal: "No, there's a significant age difference between me and President Zhen and President Guo, so I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to have a proper conversation."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Rong and Guo Sheng's faces visibly darkened.

That kid is really arrogant!
While we were dominating the job market, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!
Tang Yan noticed the atmosphere was a bit tense and was wondering if she should say something to ease the tension.

Just then, Wang Yun'an and Huang Zhiyuan returned.

The two greeted Zhen Rong and Guo Sheng politely upon seeing them.

Zhen Rong and Guo Sheng didn't respond; they left with dark faces.

Huang Zhiyuan patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and asked, "Brother Chen, what were you talking about? Why do they both look so unhappy?"

"It's nothing. They wanted to invite me to a club, but I refused without hesitation."

Hearing this, Huang Zhiyuan's admiration for Chen Yan deepened even further.

To be able to resist the temptation of touching and singing at such a young age, perhaps only someone with such a mindset could start from scratch and achieve great things.

Just then, the heavy doors of the banquet hall were silently pushed open by a waiter.

An extremely beautiful woman walked in.

She wore a floral print long dress, the soft silk fabric clinging to her graceful curves, the loose skirt draping down like flowing clouds as she moved.

She wore a pair of simple white strappy high-heeled sandals, the delicate straps wrapping around her fair ankles, making her legs appear even longer and straighter.

(P.S.: Outfit inspiration)
However, what is most breathtaking is her face.

It was a face of beauty so aggressively beautiful that it could capture one's mind almost instantly.

Every feature of her face is like a masterpiece sculpted by the Creator. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains shrouded in mist, naturally relaxed, and her eyes are like fine amber immersed in clear spring water, crystal clear.

Her eyes are slightly upturned at the corners, naturally exuding a touch of aloof charm.

Her nose was high and delicate, like a jade carving.

Her lips were the most striking feature, full and plump, with a natural rosy color. They were slightly pursed, yet there seemed to be a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips.

The lively conversation in the banquet hall seemed to be paused, and the volume suddenly dropped several degrees.

Countless gazes, filled with amazement, curiosity, and inquiry, all focused on the figure that had just walked in through the doorway.

But this captivating figure was walking gracefully towards Chen Yan.
