America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

The next morning.

Chen An woke up when the first rays of sunlight shone into the master bedroom on the second floor.

The bed is large enough to accommodate three people.

Sarah is on the left, and Jessica is on the right.

Both women were fast asleep, like two tired kittens.

Jessica was still clutching the hem of Chen An's bathrobe tightly in her hand.

Chen An carefully withdrew his arm without waking them.

He put on his clothes, went to the balcony, and lit a cigarette.

In the courtyard downstairs, Tie Tou was leading a team to clear the snow.

Zeus was chasing a lone hare frolicking in the snow.

In the distance, on the road leading to the back mountain, several exploration vehicles left behind by TerraPower were being towed into the barn as spoils of war.

That was an extra gift "gifted" by Davis before his arrest.

"call--"

Chen An exhaled a smoke ring, gazing at the vast white expanse of sky and earth.

Two months ago, he was a penniless pauper, worrying about paying 20,000 yuan in taxes.

And now.

He is the owner of this land, possessing a lithium mine worth five hundred million US dollars.

He held a private armed force, and inside the house lay two exquisite beauties who were completely devoted to him.

Most importantly, those who try to challenge him:

Tom, Smith, Davis, and Vincent all became stepping stones.

"This is life."

Chen An flicked away the cigarette ash, his eyes gleaming with even greater ambition.

Lithium mining is just the beginning.

With this huge cash flow and official backing.

He could easily build a real business empire in this wild west.

Ranching, high-end agriculture, mining, or even... military industry?

After all, this is America.

With money, guns, and land, anything is possible.

There was a faint sound behind me.

Jessica rubbed her sleepy eyes and came out wrapped in a blanket.

She saw Chen An's back, hugged him from behind, and pressed her face against his back.

Good morning, Daddy... oh no, good morning.

She playfully changed her address, but that taboo term still held a unique charm.

"morning."

Chen An took her hand. "Why don't you sleep a little longer? You must be exhausted from last night."

"It's alright. I'm young, so I recover quickly." Jessica chuckled.

"Mom, on the other hand, will probably sleep until noon."

She looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"An, what do we do next? Keep digging for stones?"

"Digging stones is the workers' job."

Chen An turned around, pulled her into his arms, and looked at the rising sun.

"What we need to do is enjoy this damn wonderful life."

"For example... spring is coming soon, and I plan to build a yacht marina by the lake."

"Or, how about we pick up your abandoned artistic dream again and open an art gallery for you?"

"Really?!" Jessica's eyes lit up.

"Of course. Because you are the woman of the King of Montana."

Chen An smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

The snowstorm has passed.

Spring is indeed coming.

In that spring, the legend of Chen An had only just begun.

………………

The sunshine after the blizzard, though bright, still carried a biting chill.

10:00 AM.

Titan Estate, formerly Miller Farm.

On the large bed in the master bedroom, Chen An slowly opened his eyes. The headache from the hangover made him frown slightly.

The three-person party last night lasted until 4 a.m.

He turned his head.

On the left, Sarah was wrapped around him like an octopus.

The silk robe was nowhere to be found, and the voluptuous curves of her body gleamed like ivory in the sunlight.

On the right, Jessica was curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket.

Only a toe with a strawberry print and a messy bun were visible.

This is the victor's morning.

Chen An did not wake them.

Those two women were really exhausted last night.

Whether physically or mentally.

He put on the black silk bathrobe, walked to the French windows, and lit a cigarette.

Downstairs, Tie Tou and his security team were changing shifts.

These former street thugs are now wearing matching tactical coats.

Patrolling with several newly bought Rottweilers, they looked more like a regular army than a regular army.

In the distance, the mining area on the back mountain was covered by heavy snow, but that was to conceal its location.

When it thaws next spring, it will become a money-printing machine that runs day and night.

"Ring ring ring".

My personal cell phone rang on the bedside table.

It's Robert White.

"Chen, are you awake? Sorry to disturb your peaceful moment."

Robert sounded to be in a very good mood.

"I think we need to talk about the mess Davis left behind."

Also... I have some new ideas about the 'Aurora Restaurant'.

"Aurora Restaurant?"

Chen An raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that your darling?"

"That was true before. But now I need to focus on the 'Project Titan' lithium mine project."

"The Pentagon is pressing me hard, and I'm too old to deal with the trivial matters of a Michelin-starred restaurant."

Robert smiled.

"I'll be waiting for you at the restaurant."

"See you at noon. I want to give you a 'coronation gift'."

………………

Noon.

Whitefish Town.

For the first time ever, Aurora Restaurant put up a sign today that said "Private Booking".

Chen An arrived in his Ford Raptor, which was covered in mud but looked even more imposing.

He didn't drive a Porsche; in the West, raptors were the epitome of male romance.

Upon entering the restaurant, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

All the waiters, kitchen helpers, and even the grumpy, silver-haired head chef Katie, stood neatly in the hall.

Katie wasn't wearing her chef's uniform today; instead, she wore a black turtleneck sweater and a plaid skirt, making her look exceptionally petite and adorable.

But her face looked terrible, her cheeks were puffed out, and she was clearly angry.

"They're here."

Robert sat on the sofa in the middle, holding a document in his hand.

Let me introduce myself.

Robert pointed at Chen An and addressed all the employees present.

"This is Mr. Chen An."

"From today onwards, I will not only be the major shareholder of Titan Mining, but also the sole owner of this 'Aurora Restaurant'."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The waiters were alright, after all, Chen An had been coming here frequently lately and was quite generous with his money.

But Katie exploded.

"What?!"

Katie suddenly rushed out, her bright green eyes wide open.

"Uncle! You're giving the restaurant to him?!"

"You promised me you'd give me the restaurant once I got three Michelin stars!"

"Katie, that was a promise made two years ago."

Robert shrugged helplessly. "Besides, the situation has changed now."

"We need to focus our efforts on energy."

"The restaurant business... needs someone with more courage and resources to take over."

"Chen has exclusive, top-quality ingredients; he is the most suitable candidate."

"I disagree!"

Katie's silver hair trembled with anger as she pointed at Chen An.

"He's just... just a nouveau riche!"

"Besides hunting and digging for stones, what does he know about French cuisine?"

"He'll turn this place into a roadside stall selling grilled fish!"
