The Morning of the Next Day
Yang Chen got up, got dressed, and headed downstairs for breakfast.
When Yang Chen was downstairs he saw Wang Ma and Ruoxi were having breakfast.
Yang Chen greeted the two of them with a small smile. "Good morning."
"Good morning, young master." Wang Ma replied with an ordinary caring smile.
When Ruoxi saw Yang Chen coming down and welcoming them, she thought 'He is here! Okay, in order to be better at him, I have to welcome him every morning. '
"Good morning." Ruoxi said awkwardly which made her blush in embarrassment and thought 'Ruoxi how can you mess up a simple greeting! Uhhh, I want to put my head in the hole. '
Wang Ma giggled and Yang Chen laughed at Ruoxi's awkward remark which caused Ruoxi to become even more embarrassed.
While they were having breakfast, Ruoxi, despite being a little embarrassed by the previous remark, tried to start a conversation.
"So Yang Chen, there's an important thing happening today?"
"Not really, just going to work that day. Pretty much, how about you?" Yang Chen replied while eating, before asking Ruoxi.
"Well, do you remember when I told you that Yu Lie was going to hold a fashion show?" Ruoxi said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen simply nodded.
"Well now, without a partnership with Xu Corporation it might be delayed because we won't have the materials needed to set it up. But there are new tech companies that have recently launched and I plan to form a partnership with them." Ruoxi said she explained her plans for her company's event.
"They even created a new device that allows the body to heal physical injuries 10 times faster. I even read that people are trying to dismantle these devices to replicate and find out how they work. Unfortunately, this device has a secret compartment that causes it to self-destruct only when someone tries to dismantle it. " Ruoxi explained with a little admiration about the new revolutionary device.
Yang Chen only kept silent as Ruoxi spoke of her company while grinning internally.
After a few minutes of chatting, Yang Chen got up from his chair and said.
"Well, I have to get to work now."
"Thank you for the food, Wang Ma." Yang Chen said to Wang Ma before heading to his car and going to work.
When Yang Chen left for work, Ruoxi thought seriously.
Wang Ma saw Ruoxi looking serious so was a bit worried and asked.
"Is something wrong, young lady?"
Ruoxi then looked at Wang Ma and asked seriously.
"Wang Ma, can you help me with something."
"If you think I can help young lady, then I will be happy to help." Wang Ma replied seriously as he thought Ruoxi needed help with something important.
Ruoxi took a deep breath and spoke of her problem while slightly blushing.
"Can you help me learn, how to cook?"
When Wang Ma heard this, he closed his mouth so as not to burst out laughing.
Wang Ma quickly calmed down before saying in a seductive voice. "And let me guess, you want to learn how to cook for young master, am I really young lady?"
Ruoxi flushed and turned her head avoiding eye contact with Wang Ma before saying. "of course! I have to pay him for what he has done for me, that's all!"
Wang Ma did not buy it and continued to poke at it while saying. "Are you sure that's the only reason, young lady?"
"Lady Ma!" Ruoxi got up from her seat while blushing.
"Well, good young lady, I'll help you learn to cook." Wang Ma said to Ruoxi while dropping a seductive action.
"thank you. I have to get to work now, so I'm leaving." Ruoxi said in a red hue before going to her car and going to work.
When Ruoxi left, Wang Ma sighed before smiling and saying. "Huh ... young lady if only you could be a little more honest with yourself."

In beijing
In the garden of the mansion, you could see an old man playing, which looked like chess alone.
Suddenly a kind old woman approached the old man with a smile and said. "Master, the head of the Li Clan has come to visit you."
"Let him in." The old man replied as he slowly got up from his seat to greet his guest.
This man named Yang Gongming, he was currently the patriarch of the Yang Clan, which was one of the top 4 families in Beijing.
The kind old woman nodded and went to take the guest. This woman is named Yan Sanniang.
After a few minutes, Sanniang brought guests to the park.
The guest was an old man but seemed to be relatively young for his age, his name was Li Moshen.
"Moshen, how long has it been since we last met?" Yang Gongming said with a friendly smile.
"Too long, my friend." Li Moshen replied with his own friendly smile.
After they finished with the pleasantries and caught up, Yang Gongming asked as he pointed to the chess table.
"Not played for a while but sure." Li Moshen replied as the two of them headed to the chess table and started their game.
Yan Sanniang had served them both tea, as old friends started playing chess.
As the two of them were playing chess, Li Moshen suddenly asked. "Old Yang, have you heard of the new company, Soaring Eagle Corporation?"
"Yes I have, they created a recent self-healing bracelet if my old brain remembers correctly, why do you ask?" Yang Gongming asked while concentrating on the game.
"Do you know who the CEO of the company is?" Li Moshen asked as he looked at Yang Gongming.
"If I remember correctly, his name should be Yang Chen, am I right?" Yang Gongming said as he moved his chess piece.
"Yes, but you know the background." Li Moshen asked Yang Gongming.
"There's not much information about him that I can find." Yang Gongming replied while thinking about what would be his next step in the match.
Suddenly Li Moshen took out an envelope from his coat and gave it to Yang Gongming.
"What's this for, Moshen?" Yang Gongming asked confusedly.
"This envelope contains, most of the information about the CEO of Soaring Eagle Corporation. I've found that this information will be very useful to you." Li Moshen said with a slight smile.
(AN: the Original Yang Chen background.)
Yang Gongming trusted Li Moshen since his Li Clan, who was known as the best information gatherer of all the top 4 Beijing families and had connections to Hong Meng.
Hong Meng was a cultivation sect composed mostly of Soul Formation cultivators, but almost no one reached the Transcends Tribulation Stage.
"Since Moshen is so good for this information then I guess you need my strength as the patriarch of the Yang clan to help with something." Yang Gongming said smilingly.
Li Moshen smirked before saying, "No, no, I don't need help with anything, I just hope that when there will be trouble in my Li clan, your Yang Clan will be able to help."
"Of course, my clan will be able to help when the time comes." Yang Gongming said with a smile as he thought, 'Syly old grandfather.'
After the two finished talking, they proceeded back to their chess match.
After some time, their game ended in a draw before Li Moshen got up and said to Yang Gongming with a smile.
"Gee, Yang, it's nice to see you again, but I have to go back because there are some things I have to work out."
"It's good to see you too, old friend." Yang Gongming said with a smile.
After Li Moshen left, Yan Sanniang approached Yang Gongming and asked in a sad tone.
"Sir, could it be him?"
"I don't know Sanniang, but there might be a chance." Yang Gongming said with sadness in his eyes.
Yang Gongming then opened the envelope and looked at the context of the form.
As Yang Gongming read the context of the form, he was shocked before he smiled bitterly with the pain seen in his eyes.
Yan Sanniang was also startled as she read the context as well before she revealed a sad smile.
"Huh ... Sanniang can you call Pojun to come and visit me whenever he returns to Beijing." Yang Gongming sighed before asking Yan Sanniang.
"Yes sir." Yan Sanniang replied before going to call Yang Pojun.

(Pov Yang Chen)
Yang Chen who was in his office was working on the documents before someone knocked on his office door.
"You can come in." Yang Chen said.
Assistant Yang Chen came over and said respectfully. "Mr Pluto, you are invited to dinner with Yu Lie International and Maple Corporation in the hope of establishing a partnership with us, will you accept it?"
Yang Chen thought for a moment before nodding.
"Then the meeting will take place in 2 weeks." The assistant said.
Yang Chen nodded before asking his assistant.
"By the way, you can all complete the task I asked for."
"Yes, Mr. Pluto, we can make Lin Kun give up the house and confess to all the crimes he has ever committed in his life, but his mind has been shattered because of the torture he received. If he was left alone, he would probably kill himself. " Said the assistant.
"Buy a mental hospital and have him move there, but make sure you delete all important documents he has. I don't want anything to leak, okay?" Yang Chen said seriously to his assistant.
"That will be done, Sir Pluto." The assistant said before leaving Yang Chen's office.
When the assistant left, Yang Chen thought indifferently. 'If Lin Kun decides to take his own life, then I really don't care. Now that he is out of the picture and will not get in the way of my life, I can begin to focus on how to handle my next target which is Rose's father, Situ Mingze. I planned to take care of her and make Rose take over the society of the underworld, but if Rose decides not to kill her father, then I will not kill him. But that doesn't mean I won't make him suffer, instead I will make sure he chooses death over life. '
After thinking more about his plan, Yang Chen returned to his documents.
"I wonder what my dear Rose is doing now. I should probably go see him because I haven't seen him in the slightest and I do miss him. "Think Yang Chen with a smile.
(AN: I know, I'm speeding up his company. I just don't want him to be provoked left and right, but I'm not going to expand into other countries yet because the MC will not be planning to leave China for some time.)
