Chapter: 3674

When Ye Chen mentioned his parents, Du Haiqing's expression turned slightly gloomy. She was silent for a long time before finally speaking up, "Ye Chen, I will definitely do my best to avenge your parents! If there's anything I can do, tell me, and I'll do everything in my power!"

Yan Jing to Jin Ling only takes less than two hours of flight time.

When the plane landed at Jin Ling around 10 am, Xiao Churan was definitely not home. Ye Chen didn't plan to go back right away either and instead let Chen Zekai's subordinate send Du Haiqing back to the old mansion where Ye's parents used to live. Then he went with Chen Zekai and Hong Wu to Baiguan Palace.

Today's Baiguan Palace seems to be much quieter than before, which has a big difference from its usual lively atmosphere.

Ye Chen came to Chen Zekai's office and sat down, asking Chen Zekai, "Old Chen, why hasn't Baiguan Palace been as lively today as it used to be? I've been here many times, but today is the quietest one yet."

Chen Zekai sighed and said, "I heard from my people yesterday that it's not just today. Actually, over the past few days, Baiguan Palace has seen a significant decline in business. Many companies in Jin Ling signed agreements with us to use our hotel as their designated meeting venue, but after Wanjun Temple put out the statement to kill Ye Linshan, they all terminated their cooperation."

As he spoke, Chen Zekai added, "After you subdued Wanjun Temple, you publicly announced that the Ye family had reached a compromise with them. As a result, the news spread quickly that the Ye family had been conquered by Wanjun Temple, which also led to a significant decline in our business."

Pausing for a moment, Chen Zekai explained, "Actually, most of our business is based on public cooperation agreements with travel agencies and companies that require meeting facilities. The number of individual customers who stay at five-star hotels like ours is actually quite limited. These companies have now set boundaries with Baiguan Palace, which has resulted in a significant drop in our customer base."

Ye Chen listened and couldn't help but laugh, "These companies are really realistic... even small cooperation agreements can be terminated. Their contract spirit is truly lacking."

Chen Zekai nodded and said, "Master Ye, you don't know..."

Ye Chen interrupted him with a serious tone, "Old Chen, when you call me Master Ye, I always find it playful, just like Hong Wu calls me Little Master. So, why not just call me Little Master from now on? You've been calling me that for so long, and I'm used to it."

Chen Zekai chuckled and said, "To be honest, Little Master, I do feel a bit awkward when I call you Master Ye..."

After finishing his sentence, he quickly returned to the main topic and spoke seriously, "Little Master, you don't know that many local companies in Jin Ling wanted to get close to us, so they all signed agreements with us."

"But in reality, our hotel's consumption level is still very high, and many companies are biting their teeth to get by. They're not making a profit."

"For example, if an enterprise uses a fast business hotel for reception, it costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands per year. But if they switch to our five-star hotel, the cost would be at least hundreds of thousands, which is still a big pressure for them."

"They think we've softened up now and won't need to spend so much money to curry favor with me either."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, saying, "If that's the case, why not take away half of our hotel rooms from sales?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "From now on, the administrative building of White Gold Palace will stop selling all its floors, leaving them vacant. I have other uses for it."

"Good." Chen Zekai nodded immediately, saying, "I'll notify the management team right away to take these rooms off the market immediately."

Ye Chen nodded, saying, "Wait until Wan Ba Jun arrives. First, let Wan Long Palace's people move in, and give Su Ru Li a suite as well. Then, leave 20 rooms empty for me to use for business receptions. In the future, I'll have my professional managers from Ye House come to Jin Ling to report their work regularly."

"Okay, Little Master." Chen Zekai hurriedly agreed.

Ye Chen nodded again, saying, "After Wan Ba Jun arrives, I'll have him send one five-star warrior and 30 well-trained subordinates over. Then, they can form a flexible and mobile security team in Jin Ling under your command. With them by your side, the loyalty of your people is sufficient, but their combat strength is still lacking some. With their support, our overall abilities will see a qualitative leap."

Chen Zekai respectfully said, "Okay, Little Master! At that time, I'll also use this opportunity to have Wan Long Palace's people help us cultivate some talented individuals."

"This moment, a knocking sound and a young woman's voice came from outside, saying: 'Chen General, Qin Family's Qin General, Wang Family's Wang General want to see you.'"

Chen Zekai was taken aback and said, "Qin Gang and Wang Zhenggang have come at this time? How did they manage that?" JrNovels.com
