Chapter: 2800

Ma Lan stared at the two envelopes in front of her. For a woman her age, taking care of her body was very important. Simply put, it meant looking after her skin and managing her body.

Body management can be tough for many middle-aged women. To achieve a good figure, you need to exercise, but many people struggle with motivation and consistency. On the other hand, skin care is much easier. You just visit a beauty salon, lie down, and let the professionals handle everything. Young, skilled beauticians use high-quality products to pamper you, making it feel like a relaxing massage while they take care of your skin.

This is why wealthy women love going to beauty and health salons. However, these high-end treatments come with a hefty price tag. A full-body care session usually costs at least 5,000 yuan, and that only covers basic services with average products. For top-notch treatments using first-rate brands, you could spend tens of thousands of yuan. If you opt for luxury brands, like the caviar skin care products that Charlie Wade once gifted to Ma Lan, the cost could nearly reach 100,000 yuan.

In the past, Ma Lan felt confident and strong enough to go to the Buckingham Palace spa. Now, thanks to the unlimited VIP cards sent by Chen Zekai, she could easily access all the skin care services she wanted. It was a dream come true, and she was thrilled.

Meanwhile, Xiao Churan felt uneasy and said, “Mr. Chen, I really feel embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift…”

Chen Zekai smiled and said, “Mrs. Ye, you’re very welcome. For Buckingham Palace, two VIP cards are nothing. Master Ye has helped us immensely. Without Master Ye adjusting the Feng Shui for us, Buckingham Palace would likely have gone bankrupt long ago.”

Chen Zekai’s words were just flattery, but Xiao Churan, Xiao Changkun, and Ma Lan believed him. They thought that Charlie Wade became Master Ye in Jinling because of his Feng Shui skills, which many wealthy families sought out. So, they didn’t question Chen Zekai’s statement.

However, Xiao Churan felt a bit uncomfortable with the praise. She politely replied, “Actually, I’m very busy every day and don’t have time to visit the spa. Please take my card back. I’d like to thank you for my mom’s card instead!”

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it, dear. You and Mom should keep the cards for now. If you find time later, you can use them.”

Then he turned to Chen Zekai and added, “Mr. Chen, next time I visit Buckingham Palace for Feng Shui, there’s no need to pay me.”

Chen Zekai quickly replied, “Oh, Master Ye, that’s too kind of you!”

Charlie waved his hand and insisted, “No need to be modest. I’ll accept it. Please don’t decline, Mr. Chen.”

Chen Zekai then agreed, “If that’s the case, I gladly accept!”

At that moment, Xiao Changkun, who had been quiet, spoke up a bit shyly, “By the way, President Chen, I have something I’d like to ask your help with. Is that okay?”

“Mr. Xiao, please go ahead!” someone urged.

Xiao Changkun cleared his throat and explained, “Our Jinling Painting and Calligraphy Association wants to hold a painting exhibition, but we’re unsure about the venue. I initially thought about Zhenbao Pavilion, but there was a kidnapping incident there recently that scared the citizens. If we stick with that location, I’m worried no one will come. So, I was wondering if Buckingham Palace has a suitable space for us to use?”

Chen Zekai replied with a smile, “No problem at all! We have several banquet halls at Buckingham Palace and a beautiful sky garden. If you’re short on time, I can make the sky garden available for you.”

Xiao Changkun looked excited but then hesitated. “Oh, but didn’t you say it’s not right to rent out the sky garden? If we choose that, will it cause trouble for you, President Chen?”

Chen Zekai quickly assured him, “Not at all! The sky garden is spacious and beautifully decorated. It will definitely enhance the quality of your exhibition. Mr. Xiao, please don’t worry about it!”

Xiao Changkun beamed with gratitude. “Thank you so much, Mr. Chen!”

After a moment, he asked curiously, “By the way, do you know how much it might cost to use the sky garden?”

Chen Zekai smiled and replied, “Mr. Xiao, I heard you’re now the executive vice president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association?”

Xiao Changkun felt a bit shy and said, “Oh, it’s just a title. It’s really not a big deal.”
