C19 No One Is Eligible

"Speak up, will you?"

Mu Chen touched his nose subconsciously, realizing he could no longer keep secrets from Lin Yuyan.

"I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell me or not?"

Lin Yuyan gritted her teeth as she pressed for an answer.

I really don't have anything to—"

"Fine, I'm going to take a bath." Cutting himself off.

Mu Chen quickly grabbed his clothes and retreated into the bathroom.

The day after tomorrow was their wedding anniversary; if his secret plans were exposed now, all the surprises he'd arranged would be ruined.

"Bastard!" Lin Yuyan fumed,

stomping her feet in anger.

… ….

The next day, Chuyang was rocked by two pieces of shocking news.

First, the Moon of the Nile had fetched an astronomical price of two billion in an auction last night in Xiangjiang. Rumor had it that the winning bidder was a mysterious individual from Chu Province.

Second, all the villas on Cloud Peak had been purchased by an unknown tycoon for a staggering five billion!

Meanwhile, at the Lin Family Group's office...

Oh my God!" someone exclaimed. "I had no idea that Great Chu Province was actually home to so many wealthy people!"

"Poverty really does limit one's imagination," another added. "We were ecstatic about a five-hundred-million investment in Lin Family Group, and now people are casually dropping billions at auctions!"

"And who's the lucky woman who now owns the Moon of the Nile? Just thinking about it makes me green with envy!"

"I have a theory," a third person chimed in. "Could the two mysterious tycoons be the same person? I sense something big is brewing in Chuyang City!"

As the office buzzed with conversations tinged with envy and speculation,

Mu Chen and Lin Yuyan entered the room.

"Ah, the lovebirds are back? Afraid we'll steal Lin Yuyan away?"

Lin Loong said sarcastically.

"And what about this anniversary gift we've heard so much about? Did you happen to snap up the Moon of the Nile?"

Lin Feiyan taunted.

"There's no need for you to worry about that," Mu Chen replied tersely. "All will be revealed tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to Lin Yuyan, Mu Chen exited the room, leaving her staring at his retreating figure.

'What will he give me tomorrow?'

A sense of anticipation filled her; the surprises he'd brought into her life recently had been nothing short of extraordinary.

… ….

As Mu Chen descended the stairs, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Wang Xue, his trusted lieutenant.

"Boss, the top thirty families in Chuyang City have sent a joint greeting card to Global Investment. They're eager to meet you!"

Wang Xue couldn't contain his excitement.

Recognizing the gravity of the opportunity, Mu Chen immediately responded.

"Alright, invite them over. I'm heading back to the office now."

Mu Chen agreed.

He understood the weight these influential families carried.

It seemed they had deduced the link between Global Investment and the enigmatic buyer of the villa in the clouds. Clearly, they wanted to establish a relationship.

"This is perfect timing," Mu Chen thought, a glint of calculation flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Yuyan won't stand a chance at being named successor at tomorrow's press conference."

This requires him to arrange everything in advance

Two hours later, Mu Chen settled into his CEO chair inside the Global Investment Hall.

"So, are we all satisfied with the cooperation we've solidified today?"

He surveyed the room, locking eyes with each participant.

"More than satisfied," came the enthusiastic reply. "With this one-billion-dollar investment from Global, our group's liquidity issues are fully resolved. We're ready to expand beyond Chuyang and stake our claim!"

"Through CEO Mu's introduction, our corporation has secured hundreds of millions in orders in just a couple of hours—enough to sustain us for years!"

"From now on, in the business community of Chuyang City, CEO Mu is a man we all must respect."

Elation filled the room as leaders from Chuyang City's top families sang Mu Chen's praises.

"Whatever you ask, our families will deliver, no questions asked," another chimed in.

Mu Chen graciously waved his hand.

No need for such grand gestures. However, there is something I'd like to request for tomorrow. At the Lin Family Group's press conference, I hope you can..."

… ….

That evening, Mu Chen returned home to find the atmosphere quite different than the buoyant mood at his office.

"You're finally back? I don't see you cooking or doing laundry—all you do is gallivant around!"

Qin Lee immediately laid into him, her voice tinged with irritation.

Lin Yuyan sat on the sofa, her face etched with concern.

"What's the matter, dear? Something seems off."

Mu Chen inquired, his tone shifting from authoritative CEO to concerned husband.

"Today, Lin Loong told me that Grandma has confirmed him as her successor. It seems I'm completely out of the running."

Lin Yuyan sighed.

"This is outrageous! You won the bet fair and square. If Grandma is going to be so biased, then I'm going to confront her about it tomorrow!"

Qin Lee fumed, hands on her hips.

Lin Yuyan shook her head. "What's the point? Once Grandma makes a decision, no one in the Lin Family can change it."

The room fell quiet until Mu Chen broke the silence.

"Don't worry, my love. You are the only one truly qualified to be the successor of the Lin Family Group."

Mu Chen said confidently.
