In front of the Junlin Hotel.
Zhao Qigang had been waiting outside the hotel for a long time. Upon seeing Ye Xuan arrive, he hurried forward, "Mr. Ye, you've arrived."
Seeing Zhao Qigang dressed as a successful businessman, Ye Xiaowen was surprised by his respectful demeanor towards her cousin. She had researched the Junlin Hotel before coming; it was one of the top eight-star hotels in the country, with an astonishingly high standard.
"Ye Zi, just how rich are you?"
"This Junlin Hotel is an eight-star establishment. The person welcoming us must be quite important, right?"
Ye Xuan heard this and smiled faintly, "I have a friend who is the owner of Junlin Hotel and gave me a VIP card here."
Making up a casual excuse, he was led by Zhao Qigang to a luxurious private room.
"I'm going to the restroom."
After saying a few words, Ye Xuan got up and left the private room, heading to an adjacent one. Zhao Qigang had already been waiting there for some time.
"Mr. Ye, you're here."
Upon seeing his boss arrive, Zhao Qigang quickly rose from his seat. Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "Sit down."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye."
After sitting down, Zhao Qigang's brows furrowed slightly. He took out a document, which turned out to be a list of expenses for the Junlin Hotel. "Mr. Ye, to be frank, although Junlin is profitable, due to the previous owner's poor management, the capital chain has broken. Junlin Hotel currently has a funding gap of approximately 300 million yuan. If this shortfall cannot be replenished in time, Junlin may very well face closure."
"Oh?"
Hearing Zhao Qigang's words, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback. No wonder Zhao Qigang was so eager to see him; it was all about money. However, this was exactly what he wanted.
"Funding issues?"
A subtle curve formed on Ye Xuan's lips. He had no shortage of money these days. He immediately asked for Zhao Qigang's account number and transferred a sum of money.
*Ding dong~*
A short while later, Zhao Qigang received a message. Upon opening it, he was stunned.
"Mr. Ye, this... 1 billion!"
Zhao Qigang shot up from his seat. Since becoming the general manager of Junlin Hotel, he had never seen so much money.
"This is too much."
The entire Junlin Hotel's annual profit was only five to six hundred million. This amount was more than two years of Junlin's profit.
"A portion of this money will be used as working capital for Junlin, and the rest will serve as the initial funding for the construction of the Junlin Financial Center."
"Junlin Financial Center, Mr. Ye, are you planning to..."
Thinking of a possibility, Zhao Qigang's breathing quickened. The next scene confirmed his guess.
Ye Xuan placed a contract on the table. "This is the contract for the ownership of 300,000 hectares of land surrounding Junlin Hotel. The task of constructing the Junlin Financial Center will be entrusted to you."
"300,000 hectares of land around Junlin, this... that's at least tens of billions. Mr. Ye, you bought this?"
Zhao Qigang's heart trembled violently. Good heavens, this was a massive undertaking. The land alone was several times more expensive than Junlin Hotel. It seemed he had underestimated this new boss.
"Something like that."
Recalling the reward he received for completing the system's song-singing task, Ye Xuan smiled faintly. "By the way, my cousin will be the financial director of Junlin Hotel from now on, and in the future, she will also be the financial director of the Junlin Financial Center."
"Although my cousin has just graduated, she is very capable. Your collaboration will ensure the smoother development of the Junlin Financial Center."
"Understood, Mr. Ye!"
Zhao Qigang certainly wouldn't dare to refuse. It was a joke; he couldn't comprehend the vision of such a prominent figure as his boss. He just needed to follow instructions. If the Junlin Financial Center were successfully built in the future, wouldn't his own net worth also multiply several, or even over ten, times?
"Ding! Host spent 1 billion RMB, received a tenfold refund, and obtained 10 billion RMB!"
"Given that the host has impressed Zhao Qigang, a reward of Physique +2 is granted!"
Leaving the room, Ye Xuan casually pulled up his status panel.

...........
Looking at the status panel, Ye Xuan's lips curved into a mysterious smile. Although his wealth was only over 20 billion, with assets in various aspects, Ye Xuan's total worth, even if not a hundred billion, was still in the seven to eight billion range.
In the private room.
"Ye Zi, what did you say!"
Ye Xiaowen's expression changed upon hearing Ye Xuan's words. "You want me to be the financial director of... Junlin Hotel??"
"This is an eight-star hotel, you..."
"Alright, cousin. Isn't your dream to conquer the business world? I'm giving you the platform now. Whether you dare to take it is up to you."
Ye Xuan said with a smile. Luo Tianyi, who was beside them, was also slightly stunned. She clearly hadn't expected that guy to have the ability to place her cousin, Ye Xiaowen, as the financial director of an eight-star hotel.
Smiling at his cousin, Ye Xuan took out a magnetic card from his pocket. "This is a room card for Junlin Hotel. For now, cousin, you can stay at Junlin Hotel. As for whether you want to take on the director position, cousin can consider it first."
"This... alright."
A storm of emotions churned within Ye Xiaowen. The financial director of an eight-star hotel was a highly challenging position for her. After all, despite her strong abilities, she lacked experience.
Even after the dinner ended and she watched her cousin and his wife leave, Ye Xiaowen felt as if she were dreaming.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Ye?"
Just then, Zhao Qigang emerged from the hotel. "Mr. Ye has likely already spoken to you. Are you interested in discussing it?"
During the time they were separated, Zhao Qigang had also had someone investigate Ye Xiaowen's resume. He had to admit that, despite her lack of experience, she indeed possessed exceptional talent in finance.
Junlin Hotel, a window booth in the restaurant.
From here, one could take in the beautiful scenery of Tianhai.
"May I ask, who are you..."
Ye Xiaowen had felt that Zhao Qigang was no ordinary person from the moment she met him, and she voiced her long-held curiosity.
Zhao Qigang smiled slightly. "Miss Ye is Mr. Ye's cousin, so you are not an outsider."
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Zhao Qigang, and I am the general manager of Junlin Hotel. Miss Ye may not know this yet, but in fact..."
At this point, Zhao Qigang paused. "In fact, the boss behind Junlin Hotel is your cousin, Mr. Ye."
"Pfft~ Cough cough cough!!"
Ye Xiaowen, who had just taken a sip of tea, choked upon hearing this, her eyes filled with astonishment. "What did you say? This Junlin Hotel... belongs to Ye Zi??"
"More than that."
After speaking, Zhao Qigang got to the point. He took out a contract from his bag. "This was given to me by Mr. Ye, your cousin, today. Miss Ye can take a look first."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaowen cast a suspicious glance at the contract. The moment she saw its contents, her pupils contracted again.
"This is... the contract for 300,000 hectares of land surrounding Junlin Hotel. How is this possible!!"
