Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Breaking News!

Jade Island.

Dream Bay, Qingyue Port.

Qingyue Port is a natural harbor, with clear water and deep enough draught, not sufficient for constructing a full-fledged port but enough for occasionally docking a couple of large ships.

At this moment, the cruise ship Pacific Ocean steadily broke the surface, trailing a charming sparkling water path, coming to a stop at Qingyue Port.

Compared to before, the Pacific Ocean has now been transformed. Not only is it adorned with red ribbons symbolizing festivities, but it is also decorated with numerous balloons only used at grand events.

Seen from afar, the whole cruise is enveloped in a festive aura.

The night gradually descended, and large numbers of tourists began arriving from various corners of the port in flying cars, every face brimming with excitement.

For them, attending a grand opening gala on such a dreamlike island seems like a wonderful experience. Furthermore, what thrilled them even more was the recent appearance of Jade Island’s Island Master, who promised to present them with a colossal gift.

This just heightened their anticipation!

...

The Beyond Cruise, Top Floor Banquet Hall.

In the brightly lit hall, a luxurious, top-grade red carpet was spread out. Around the hall were bright full-length windows, from which the unique moonlit scenery of Dream Bay could be viewed in its entirety, radiating a dreamlike glow, making one feel like one is in a dream.

Inside the banquet hall, the guests were already seated, bustling with activity.

Among these people were CEOs of listed companies, elites from various sectors, big-name celebrities, and prominent social figures; everyone present could be considered well-known personalities in Hua Country.

However, at this time, they were all speaking in whispers, with some expressions of admiration among them.

Evidently, although these VIPs have attended many top-tier events before, they have truly never experienced an event as unique and scenery so enchanting as this.

Just then, elegant music played, and all eyes turned toward the entrance of the hall.

Indeed, Jiang Cheng, wearing a Brioni Vanquish handmade custom suit, entered the hall gracefully along the red carpet with the music.

His handsome appearance, tall stature, and that uniquely bright gaze instantly drew the attention of all present.

With a serene smile on his face, Jiang Cheng greeted the seated guests around him, maintaining an elegant demeanor.

A step behind him, Monica, clad in a delicate ladies’ suit, held a folder, following him as his personal assistant.

Her voluptuous figure coupled with her alluring face similarly attracted the gaze of many men.

Yet, it also stirred resentment in two women.

”Qianqian, look! This womanizer hasn’t changed a bit. Using his Island Master status to find himself such a voluptuous secretary, really detestable!”

In a corner, Guan Xiaofei stared unblinkingly at Monica, who was in the center of the room with a smile, almost ready to shoot flames from her eyes.

Her worst fears materialized—Jiang Cheng, this womanizer, hadn’t taken long to find himself a bombshell secretary, when she remembered last time he didn’t have anyone by his side.

Thinking of this made her fume, and she couldn’t help but gripe to her close friend Su Qianqian beside her.

”Oh, maybe it’s due to work needs, and his identity is quite special. If he found someone with ordinary looks, it might be unsuitable.”

Su Qianqian listened indifferently; her gaze was nowhere on Monica but entirely fixed on Jiang Cheng.

”Heavens! Su Qianqian! Did Jiang Cheng give you some mind-confusing potion this afternoon? You’re actually speaking up for him despite such obvious things.”

Initially hoping to receive sympathy from her friend, Guan Xiaofei’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Su Qianqian, full of disbelief.

”Ah? Really?” Seeing her friend’s skeptical expression, Su Qianqian blushed, with a hint of evasiveness in her eyes.

”Hmph, quickly confess; what did he do with you after we left the Cliffside Restaurant this afternoon?” Guan Xiaofei squinted her eyes, examining Su Qianqian closely.

Seeing her good friend’s evasive look confirmed her suspicion that Jiang Cheng probably charmed Qianqian with some tricks, as her face wouldn’t otherwise be flushed.

This afternoon, after leaving the Cliffside Restaurant, Jiang Cheng wanted to chat with Su Qianqian under the pretense of a long separation, and Guan Xiaofei didn’t disturb them, letting them do as they pleased, as it was their own business.

But reflecting on it now, she couldn’t help but wonder if Jiang Cheng hadn’t used some scheme to win over Qianqian again?

She knew Jiang Cheng well—countless sweet words, rarely does a girl escape his wiles, and her close friend, who seemed full of ideas, but actually like a naive girl, would likely fall quickly under Jiang Cheng’s charming words.

Thus, thinking of this sparked some worry in her heart.

”Oh, what are you saying, look, the banquet is starting!” Su Qianqian’s face flushed deeper when Guan Xiaofei asked about this.

Luckily, at this moment, Jiang Cheng also reached the podium in the banquet hall. So she immediately shifted the topic.

Hearing Qianqian’s words, Guan Xiaofei couldn’t ask further, so she quickly turned her head, directing her gaze toward the podium ahead.

”First, I’d like to thank all of our esteemed guests for coming to Jade Island. As the Island Master, I sincerely thank everyone.”

Jiang Cheng’s words officially announced his position as the Island Master of Jade Island to everyone present, despite them already knowing it in the afternoon. Still, upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, everyone felt a bit shocked, promptly giving him a resounding applause.

After a brief opening speech, Jiang Cheng didn’t waste time and directly announced the major news he had been eager to reveal.

”I believe the unique scenery of Jade Island has won everyone’s favor. However, as the Island Master, I genuinely feel that simply enjoying such a paradise alone is indeed wasteful. Therefore, I want to announce here that Jade Island welcomes everyone to come here to enjoy, of course, also to work and live!”

With a ”boom,”

Jiang Cheng’s voice had just fallen when the entire hall suddenly erupted into an uproar.
