As Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng pondered deeply, Zhao Jiwei found himself with fewer concerns.

To him, the ideas proposed by Ye Chen seemed practical. Having studied future economic trends and the broader domestic economic landscape, Zhao believed that no matter how the economy shifted, the wealthiest individuals would remain unaffected.

In a vast market of over a billion people, regardless of economic fluctuations, there would always be wealthy individuals rising by leveraging this immense market.

Thus, when Ye Chen unveiled the Half-Hill Project, Zhao's eyes lit up.

Indeed, with the advantages of Half-Hill, if a top-tier villa district could be developed, even if each unit sold for hundreds of millions, sales would likely not be an issue.

Moreover, if this project could make a splash, it would undoubtedly catapult them into the ranks of industry giants.

This was an all-or-nothing gamble, a high-stakes bet that defined Zhao's willingness to risk it all.

"Ye, I'm with you all the way. However you want to proceed, I'll follow!" Zhao's eyes glimmered with determination as he spoke resolutely.

Still, Ye Chen reminded them calmly, "No rush. Now isn't the time to go all in. The priority is to get the foundation ready. Besides, if at any point during the Half-Hill project you feel the risks are too great, you can step away at any time. In other words, I'm ready to buy back your shares whenever you decide to sell."

"Ye, you're too cautious. There's no way we're stepping back," Li Changfeng chimed in. "Just like Zhao said, we'll follow your lead without question!"

"Good. For now, handle the company's relocation. Once that's settled, we'll wait for the government's update on the Half-Hill development rights. I doubt they'll keep us waiting for long," Ye Chen said confidently.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Ye, since we're moving the company, we need a new name. Any thoughts?" Zhao asked.

"Let's call it Tenglong Real Estate," Ye Chen replied without hesitation.

"Tenglong Real Estate? Sounds good to me!" Zhao agreed readily, placing little importance on the name. As far as he was concerned, whatever Ye Chen decided was fine.

Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng had no objections either. Though "Tenglong" might sound a bit common, it was catchy and easy to remember.

With business matters settled, the group shifted to casual conversation, enjoying a light-hearted atmosphere. Between jokes and laughter, they managed to catch over a dozen fish – most reeled in by Ye Chen.

After feasting on a lavish fish banquet, Ye Chen bid farewell and drove off.

His mind, however, lingered on past life blueprints for top-tier real estate projects.

Soon, designs for the country's most prestigious developments from his previous life began taking shape in his mind. Alongside these designs, the names of renowned architects and designers surfaced.

"Once the Half-Hill villa district's design is finalized, I'll recruit those designers under my wing," Ye Chen muttered.

Although high-end real estate was part of his future business empire, he never intended to spend much time on it. His goal was simply to get things started and steer the company in the right direction. He wouldn't micromanage everything – hence involving Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Jingshan, and Li Changfeng.

Zhao's talents, proven in Ye Chen's past life, assured him that Zhao could take the helm. Meanwhile, Zhang and Li's connections and backgrounds would clear obstacles along the way.

Though Ye Chen hadn't fully uncovered Li Changfeng's background, the mere fact that Li casually transferred an elite-level membership card to him indicated extraordinary resources behind him.

Whether the card was a fortunate acquisition or not, it was clear that Li had hidden depths.

With Li and Zhang supporting Zhao, Ye Chen only needed to launch the project. His focus, however, was never truly on real estate – his eyes were set on high-tech industries.

Dominating high-tech industries meant controlling the pulse of the era, positioning him at the pinnacle of commerce.

For now, the emerging technologies hadn't piqued his interest. Only with the arrival of the second tech revolution would his true battlefield emerge.

As Jiangzhou's government initiated new rounds of investment and positioned the city as a pilot hub for high-tech industries, opportunities loomed closer.

The chance to define the era was approaching rapidly.

Back at Shanshui Residence, Ye Chen began pre-planning the Half-Hill villa district's layout.

Time slipped by unnoticed, the setting sun casting long shadows.

Soon, his Mercedes G-Class rolled out of Shanshui, heading to the kindergarten to pick up his daughter, Yoyo. Afterward, they visited the market, bought groceries, and returned home to cook.

For Ye Chen, this simple life as a doting father brought its own fulfillment.

That evening, as dinner wrapped up, something unexpected happened.

On Weibo, a trending topic suddenly surged to the top of the list:

#A Shocking Flawless Cream CEO

It was an irresistible headline.

With no major news events dominating social media, this topic quickly captured attention.

Flawless Cream's meteoric rise had already sparked widespread discussion, with momentum only intensifying.

Against this backdrop, the sudden appearance of a controversial CEO naturally drew curiosity.

This trending post was undoubtedly orchestrated by Ding Chengjun, CEO of Yundai, along with other industry leaders.

Although they knew it wouldn't stop Flawless Cream's unstoppable march, it was the only tactic they could deploy to frustrate their competitor.

They hoped to incite extreme consumers to boycott Flawless Cream, hoping for even the slightest rebound in sales.

However, what they didn't realize was that Ding Chengjun's true target was not Flawless Cream's sales – but Bo Jun.

This ploy aimed to sow discord between Bo Jun and Ye Chen, attempting to undermine their partnership.
