Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Resilient Creatures
Seeing Rose chatting and laughing enthusiastically with the team members, although translation was often needed, the effect was surprisingly good. Soon, Rose became quite familiar with them.
Just as their conversation was nearing its end, a member of the Redbud Society downstairs suddenly rushed up to report that a truck claiming to deliver mineral water had stopped below the apartment building and requested assistance with unloading.
In the middle of the night, who would believe it was delivering mineral water?
Mo Lin and the others exchanged glances, nodded in confirmation, and Mo Lin said, "Your Majesty Pluto, it seems our equipment has arrived."
Yang Chen smiled satisfactorily and said to Rose, "Darling, arrange for them a quiet and secluded basement or workshop, spacious enough for those instruments to be placed there directly."
"Instruments? What instruments?" Rose asked, confused.
"It\'s the \'mineral water\' in the truck. I had it brought in from overseas through a special channel. With them, the Sea Eagle team members can truly unleash their potential," Yang Chen explained.
"Could it be advanced military equipment?" Rose\'s eyes lit up.
Mo Lin and the others quickly shook their heads. "Miss Rose, we didn\'t intend to use firepower in Yancha this time. We\'re here at His Majesty Pluto\'s request to conduct monitoring and surveillance."
"I see..." Rose sounded a bit disappointed.
Yang Chen chuckled wryly, "But this is important, isn\'t it? Thanks to your warning last time, we managed to prevent some troublemakers from harming my family. I brought the Sea Eagles here precisely to prevent such incidents. With their professional skills, we can control the situation effectively, at least preventing any surprises, and we can promptly respond to any developments in Yancha."
Rose pouted and said sarcastically, "So, it\'s all for the Queen, and I end up playing hostess to this bunch?"
Yang Chen felt embarrassed. "Darling, all these people will be under your care from now on. They\'re also responsible for your safety, helping you train your elite team to achieve the capabilities of top special forces. How does that sound?"
Rose gave him a sidelong glance. "Promise?"
"Of course," Yang Chen nodded solemnly.
Rose couldn\'t help but smile broadly. If there weren\'t so many people around, she would have wanted to wrap her arms around Yang Chen\'s neck and kiss him right then and there.
After finishing all the arrangements, Yang Chen bid farewell to Rose and others like Mo Lin. Starting tomorrow, Mo Lin and the others would officially start working. With such a team staying at Zhonghai, Yang Chen felt much more at ease.
Arriving downstairs at the apartment, Rose\'s eyes, watery, were fixed on Yang Chen. "Are you going back to sleep tonight?"
"Go back where?" Yang Chen smirked.
"Where do you think?"
"Not going back. It\'s late," Yang Chen glanced at the half-moon in the sky. "Let\'s just go to your place and lie down for a while."
"Yeah, I think that\'s a good idea," Rose said with a smile. "Going back so late would be exhausting." Half an hour later, Yang Chen and Rose returned to the large bedroom behind the Rose Bar.
It had been too long since they had been intimate with each other. As Yang Chen drove, he already felt a burning desire. Now, smelling the rich fragrance in the air, he couldn\'t help but embrace Rose, his hands caressing her back, and they kissed passionately.
Rose moaned a few times, barely breaking free from Yang Chen\'s embrace, her face flushed. "Shower first, for both of us."
"Why worry so much in the dead of winter?" Yang Chen thought they could skip a few steps.
"No, we must be clean!" Women always preferred cleanliness.
Yang Chen didn\'t argue further and dashed into the bathroom. After a quick rinse, he draped himself in a white bathrobe prepared for him and eagerly awaited Rose.
Rose didn\'t take long either, drying her hair, she emerged from the steamy shower. Yang Chen swallowed hard, watching Rose\'s slender arms as she gracefully dried her long, black hair, her enchanting figure causing a dryness in his throat.
Pretending not to notice anything, Rose leisurely climbed onto the bed, gently falling into Yang Chen\'s arms. Her body emitted a mix of the fragrance from her bath and her natural scent, which intoxicated Yang Chen\'s senses, igniting a fierce desire he couldn\'t contain.
"Can we start now?" Yang Chen stroked Rose\'s fair and tender cheek, relishing the soft touch.
Pretending not to understand, Rose asked innocently, "Start what?"
"Of course, start doing what you like."
...
After a long while, both sweaty and breathless, Rose lay exhausted on Yang Chen\'s chest.
"Too tired, let me rest for a while," Rose gasped.
Yang Chen held her tightly, full of energy. "I\'ll have a more leisurely work schedule from now on. I can come and spend more time with you."
"Why?" Rose asked puzzledly.
"Because I got promoted," Yang Chen chuckled, recounting Lin Ruoxi\'s appointment of him as the new director during the day.
Rose looked pensive for a moment. Finally, she said, "Husband, since you\'re now the director of Jade Entertainment, does that mean you can decide on cooperation projects with other companies?"
"Well, technically yes, but I plan to delegate that to the two guys below me. Sitting in the office, attending meetings, and reviewing documents is tougher than bombing the Pentagon," Yang Chen grumbled.
Suddenly, Rose smiled and said, "Husband, how about partnering on a project with me?"
"Partnering with you? What do you mean?" Yang Chen was puzzled.
"Didn\'t I mention before? Unlike the former West Union and East Prosperity, Red Rose Society doesn\'t rely on smuggling, drug trafficking, arms dealing, or human trafficking to make big money. We focus on traditional underworld trades, but a small part of our income actually comes from legitimate businesses. It\'s just that we haven\'t been able to scale it up. So, if I use our current resources and cash to invest in this new company under Jade Entertainment and collaborate on some projects, we might get a decent return. Besides, since you\'re the director, I won\'t have to worry about conflicts of interest in our partnership," Rose explained.
Yang Chen was taken aback. He hadn\'t expected Rose to be thinking of seizing opportunities even at a time like this. It showed that whether as a crime boss or as a head of a prestigious school, both were finding ways to earn money to support their families!
"What do you want to invest in?" Yang Chen didn\'t mind. In fact, Rose\'s proposal to invest, in essence, meant becoming a shareholder, which could only benefit Jade Entertainment in the long run. Having a financing partner like Rose would be a big help to him.
"Well, the music industry isn\'t doing well right now, but we could organize some commercial singing competitions. With the Jade Entertainment brand, we can attract a lot of advertisers and corporate sponsors. Or we could invest in movies and TV shows, depending on the actual manpower and resources once the company is established," Rose said seriously.
Yang Chen affectionately brushed Rose\'s delicate nose. "You\'re making a lot of sense. Looks like my Rose darling will be a female entrepreneur in the future."
"Hmph," Rose frowned playfully. "Enough talking. I want to battle you another hundred rounds!"
Yang Chen gently patted Rose\'s supple body, advising, "Let it go. You\'ve tried so many times already. It\'s impossible for you alone to \'defeat\' me."
After Rose got up from Yang Chen, bringing him pleasure once more, Yang Chen\'s body immediately responded.
"Husband, do you know what the strongest creature in the world is?" Rose asked with a mischievous smile.
"What?" Yang Chen wondered.
"It\'s a woman, because we bleed every month but we still live strong!" Rose boasted triumphantly. "So, I won\'t surrender easily!"
Yang Chen laughed heartily, "Rose darling, you should know, your man here is not just any man. While others may guard one pass and be invincible against ten thousand enemies, I\'m the one who sleeps in one bed and is invincible against ten thousand women!"
"Thickest face wins!" Rose giggled playfully, straightening her posture like a queen once again, looking down imperiously, ready to embark on another round of fierce "battle."
