46: Chapter 44 Chapter 043: The Arrival of the Beautiful CEO 46: Chapter 44 Chapter 043: The Arrival of the Beautiful CEO Along the way, all the bodyguards were highly vigilant, with Haozi and Da Xia controlling the situation from the BMW in front.

Now, the Bodyguard Room was entirely under Ye Chen’s control, and Haozi and Da Xia had become Ye Chen’s right-hand men.

Anyone who disagreed would have to get past them first.

“Big Brother, no problems detected up ahead, everything is smooth!” Haozi, in the leading BMW, arranged the entire convoy in a high-standard defensive formation.

With Haozi and Da Xia leading the front two BMWs and Ye Chen backing them up, everything was in perfect order.

“Good, pay close attention to the situation!” Ye Chen instructed briefly, stating, “It’s a half-hour drive from Tianya Group to Jiangnan No.1.

During this half hour, absolutely no mistakes are allowed!”

“Yes!” Haozi nodded.

With the BMW leading, the convoy traveled, with a Lincoln in the middle.

Ye Chen followed in a Mercedes Benz, driven by Vice Captain Jin.

After a good beating from Ye Chen, this young man had become very obedient.

It’s often said that horses are broken and dogs are beaten into submission; this saying wasn’t wrong at all.

Ye Chen chuckled and instructed, “Vice Captain Jin, make sure to keep a close eye on things.”

“Mm!” Jin Guoyou nodded.

The convoy raced towards Jiangnan No.1 along the highway.

Jiangnan No.1 was a green signal for Tianya Group’s foray into the real estate business.

When Tianya Group had begun developing the land for Jiangnan No.1, it had already drawn the attention of real estate developers not just in Jianghuai City but throughout the entire Z province.

As a major enterprise entering real estate, the whole market screamed ‘the wolf is coming!’ However, when Li Tianya was still in charge, he announced that Tianya Group’s move into real estate would absolutely not affect other businesses and groups.

“Ziwen, how are the preparations for the opening?” Li Ruo, who had been with Tianya Group for less than a year and had only just recently taken the reins, was attending such a formal large-scale event for the first time today.

Therefore, he felt slightly nervous.

Still, it wasn’t surprising, as Li Ruo was only twenty-three years old.

His first task after returning from studying in the United States was to take over Tianya Group.

His father, exhausted from effort, had earnestly advised him to stabilize Tianya Group’s current position and prevent opportunists from taking advantage.

“Mr.

Li, everything is ready!” Lin Ziwen nodded solemnly, stating, “Vice President Chen is already handling the venue, and the event has already gone through half of its agenda.

We should just make it in time for the speech!”

“Mm!” Li Ruo nodded, looking back at the Mercedes Benz behind him.

He could faintly see Ye Chen chatting and laughing in the passenger seat, which gave him a boost of confidence.

Remembering how Ye Chen had single-handedly chased down three criminals that day, he still felt grateful.

The convoy soon arrived at the venue.

The opening was set on the mini golf course of Jiangnan No.1 Garden District.

As a new modern district, it had all types of facilities.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but praise the district upon entering; from the doorway, one could smell the fragrant flowers.

The security guards at the entrance, employed by a property management company under Tianya Group, were spirited.

They stood upright in dark blue security uniforms with plastic batons attached to their belts.

Following the high-standard roads of the district, which were well connected but didn’t interfere with the green construction, the district’s landscaping was excellent.

It boasted various ornamental trees and green vegetation.

It was said that the green coverage area of Jiangnan No.1 exceeded fifty percent.

Such a high rate of green coverage was rare, as few developers were willing to waste land and a substantial amount of money on it.

The district had advanced extensive facilities, each corner featuring creatively placed small speakers.

During holidays, the property management would play soft and soothing music, extending deep wishes to the residents.

Walking along, they passed by a sports area, basketball and badminton courts, and an artificial lake, reportedly stocked with fish where residents could enjoy leisurely fishing.

“My, what a nice district this is!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but look around!

“That goes without saying!” Vice Captain Jin chuckled, saying, “Back when I was with Chairman Li, he made a grand investment of a billion on this land and then built what was claimed to be the most advanced district in Jianghuai City.

Looking at it now, Chairman Li’s vision was indeed far-sighted!”

“That goes without saying!” Ye Chen nodded, stating, “If he wasn’t far-sighted, how could he be a chairman, right?”

After making a turn in the district, they quickly reached the small golf course.

The place was already crowded, with most people there to attend the opening.

Additionally, people continued to arrive on the road, and both the underground and open-air parking lots were filled with a variety of cars, from luxurious ones like a black Lamborghini Phantom to common ones like a compact Volkswagen.

“Get out!” Ye Chen waved his hand and jumped out first.

He looked around, the situation was clear, and everything seemed normal.

Haozi and Da Xia also got out of the BMW in front, both habitually cautious of the surroundings, their hands gently resting on their waists where they carried their own ** pistols.

In order to protect Li Ruo’s safety, Ye Chen, under the principle that it’s better to be safe than sorry, had managed to get them two guns.

As for the other bodyguards, they all had gun permits, so there was no need to worry too much.

“Mr.

Li, we’re here!” Ye Chen personally opened Li Ruo’s car door.

Li Ruo glanced at Ye Chen, nodded, and then stepped down from the car, followed closely by Lin Ziwen.

Ye Chen waved his hand, and Haozi and Da Xia immediately formed a protective circle around Li Ruo.

As for Vice Captain Jin and others, they were responsible for patrolling the entire stage area, with the central tasks being alternated among Ye Chen and the other two.

Among the audience, there were undercover police officers and security guards mingled, to prevent any accidents.

Onsite, nearly fifty police officers and over a hundred security personnel from the Tianya Group were deployed.

It was jokingly said that only wealthy people could afford to buy apartments at Jiangnan No.1, and if anything went wrong, Tianya Group’s reputation could be ruined.

Ye Chen glanced around and spotted a familiar face in the crowd—it was Zhang Yantong, with Fang Qin behind her, both seeming to be vigilant about something.

A huge stage had been set up on the mini golf course, where professional singers and dancers were invited to perform, capturing the attention of all spectators.

The show was still ongoing, and Vice President Chen had already been informed of Li Ruo’s arrival.

Soon, the performance ended, and it was time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Li Ruo was going to give a speech, followed by Mr.

Li’s promise about the pricing and quality assurance…

“Ladies and gentlemen…” Vice President Chen was a middle-aged man in his forties with a balding head showing signs of a receding hairline.

Holding the microphone, he walked up with a big smile and said, “Dear friends, esteemed guests, next up, please welcome our new president to the stage to say a few words!”

The crowd burst into applause…

Everyone seated knew of Li Ruo, the president of Tianya Group and the future successor.

Of Li Tianya’s two children, she was the most outstanding.

Everyone adored her like a celebrity—they all wanted a glimpse of her true face.

Frankly speaking, many people were probably there just for Li Ruo.

Li Ruo flashed a smile and casually walked up to the stage from backstage, followed swiftly by Ye Chen and the other two.

Their formation was unique: Ye Chen at the front, followed closely by Haozi and Da Xia, with Li Ruo steadily walking towards the microphone, and Ye Chen staying about three meters behind her.

As a bodyguard, especially as the personal bodyguard of Mr.

Li, he absolutely needed to follow her closely, ensuring she remained unharmed at all times.

“Is this Li Ruo?”

“Wow, she really is beautiful!

Talented and good-looking!”

“Damn, her figure is also great, what a pity…”

“What a pity?” someone curious asked.

“It’s a pity she’s beyond caring about money now, otherwise, I’d spend ten million to take her as my wife!”

The guests below admired Li Ruo’s poise, utterly mesmerized.

For today’s launch event, Li Ruo had on subtle makeup perfectly complementing her face, with skin white and flushed with a hint of red, eyebrows arched like willow leaves, eyes glistening like jewels, a delicate and small nose, and lips plump and cherry-red.

Wearing a professional outfit that accentuated her tall figure.

“Ladies and gentlemen!” Li Ruo parted her red lips.

The applause thundered…

As soon as she began to speak, the audience erupted into applause; Li Ruo’s entrance had instantly captivated everyone.

Men were enthralled by her, and women revered her.

And not a single person harbored jealousy; after all, Li Ruo’s capabilities were evident for all—the wealth, the talent, the beauty, and not just by a small margin, which is why no one envied Li Ruo’s appearance.

Li Ruo smiled slightly, her expression as gentle as pear blossoms yet as enchanting as opium poppies, deeply captivating the audience.

Li Ruo said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the opening ceremony of Jiangnan No.1 Garden District.

On behalf of the Tianya Group, I extend a heartfelt thanks to you all!”

“Ha ha…

Mr.

Li, with such a beautiful community and such a fine environment, of course, we support it!”

“Exactly, we’ve already placed orders for several units!”
