After the romance, Guan Juer clutched the bedsheet, covering her shy, blushing face.

"Brother Cheng, is this your home?"

Chen Cheng gazed at the ceiling and chuckled helplessly. What a silly girl.

He lifted his arm to pull her into his embrace and whispered, "It's my home, and it's your home too."

"You're sharing a place with Little Qiu and the others, and my other place is too close to yours. I was worried you might feel uncomfortable, so I took the liberty of buying another one."

Guan Juer only caught the first half. She pouted playfully, her pretty face flushed red. "Brother Cheng, you're so bad."

"Wait, you bought it?" Realizing what he meant, Guan Juer's eyes widened in surprise.

"Mhm. Bought it."

Guan Juer sat up and looked at Chen Cheng with concern. "This place is so big; how much did it cost?"

Chen Cheng chuckled and flicked her nose. "Silly girl, Brother Cheng has money. You don't need to worry about me."

"But this place is really huge. And houses in the Magic City are already so expensive..."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and picked up his phone. Guan Juer still knew too little about him.

He said, "Guan Guan, there's actually something I haven't told you yet."

"What is it?"

"Actually, I am the boss of Zhencheng. I don't know if you've heard of it."

Guan Juer rolled her eyes suspiciously. "That private equity firm, Zhencheng?"

Guan Juer worked at a securities firm; she was definitely an industry peer.

Given Zhencheng's performance, it would be normal to have heard of it. Not knowing it would be a bit ignorant.

Chen Cheng looked at her and nodded seriously. "Yes."

"You... I..."

Guan Juer was suddenly incoherent.

Chen Cheng smiled helplessly, pulled her back into his arms, and told her the story of his "success."

Of course, he left out all the strange things like reincarnation, time travel, or systems.

After listening, Guan Juer remained silent for a long time.

She stared at Chen Cheng with wide eyes. Is he even human? A stock god?

And the key is, he's so young and so handsome.

*Gulp~*

As Guan Juer looked into Chen Cheng's eyes, little stars gradually began to appear in her own, slowly gathering into bigger stars until they filled her entire gaze.

Blushing, Guan Juer touched Chen Cheng's stomach...

The next day, Chen Cheng and Guan Juer went to play around the city outskirts for the day.

Having completed her transformation, Guan Juer had a wonderful time with her lover.

She had taken off her glasses and put on contact lenses; there was a hint of allure in her eyes.

Once the weekend was over, Guan Juer went back to her routine at work.

After work, she would study, saying she wanted to catch up to Chen Cheng's pace.

Chen Cheng also began to get busy, contacting and visiting important prospective clients.

Karen and Gao Yue acted as temporary secretaries, responsible for reception and scheduling.

Chen Cheng spent a week packed with horse riding, golf, tennis, mountain climbing, and yachting.

Some of them were bosses themselves, some had bosses behind the scenes, and others were fund managers.

During this time, Pei Yin asked him when he would go to practice the piano again, and Shen Jing asked him which day he would go horse riding, but he brushed them both off.

The launch of this fund wasn't very important to Chen Cheng's personal wealth, but it was crucial for Zhencheng's survival.

If you make your business big and don't share the cake, others will carve up your corpse.

Chen Cheng took these meetings very seriously.

With Karen providing information support, there were no major hitches.

Except for meeting an unexpected person.

Uncle Dong.

Oh, no. It should be Wu Xianlong.

On Friday afternoon, Chen Cheng accepted an invitation from Zhao Hui to come with him to Wu Xianlong's clubhouse in Songjiang.

Inside Wu Xianlong's clubhouse, Zhao Hui introduced Chen Cheng to him, "Big Brother, this is Chen Cheng from Zhencheng Capital, Chairman Chen."

Wu Xianlong was over fifty, his hair slightly graying, but his temperament was reserved; he looked like a gentle and refined businessman.

He reached out to Chen Cheng with a smile, "Chairman Chen, I've heard so much about you. I often hear Little Hui mention you."

"Seeing is believing," Wu Xianlong looked Chen Cheng up and down. "Chairman Chen is truly young and promising."

Chen Cheng smiled and shook Wu Xianlong's hand gently. "Mr. Wu, you're too kind. You are a senior, and I have much to learn from you."

After shaking hands, Wu Xianlong invited the two to sit at the tea table, personally pouring tea and handing it to Chen Cheng and Zhao Hui.

"Ah, Chairman Chen, you are too modest. My son, Xiaofei, is about the same age as you, Chairman Chen, but he's still immature."

"Unlike you, Chairman Chen, who has built such a large business empire like Zhencheng in just a few years."

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

Chen Cheng waved his hand. "Mr. Wu, that is truly an overstatement." He didn't want to listen to any more of his empty flattery, so he turned the subject. "Mr. Wu, you invited me here today for a reason, right?"

After saying this, Chen Cheng took a sip of tea and looked at him with a calm expression, showing no other emotions on his face.

Wu Xianlong glanced at Zhao Hui, who nodded, and only then did Wu Xianlong speak:

"Our Junlong Real Estate has a plot of land that we would like to ask Chairman Chen to take a look at."

Chen Cheng looked at the planning map that Wu Xianlong handed over and raised an eyebrow.

Well, well, they were trying to get financing from him, a "Mythical creature known for attracting wealth" in the secondary market.

They must be desperate for money to be so reckless as to come to him.

Chen Cheng smiled, not intending to take the map. "Mr. Wu, you're joking. I'm a complete layman when it comes to real estate."

"I wouldn't know how to read the map."

"I came here today mainly to have a cup of tea with you, Mr. Wu."

Wu Xianlong's expression turned ugly, his mouth twitching as he looked at Zhao Hui for help.

He saw Zhao Hui calmly drinking tea, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Zhao Hui's attitude, Wu Xianlong had to put on a smile. "Then let's drink tea. I don't have much else here, but I have plenty of tea."

"In a while, when you leave, I'll have Xiaofei pack some for you, Chairman Chen, so you can taste it when you get back."

"Give me some feedback and see what's wrong with this tea produced in my hometown."

Chen Cheng smiled; he was talking about his project. He waved his hand. "Ah, Mr. Wu, whether something is good or not depends on personal preference."

"As for me, I've been abroad for a bit too long, so I'm a bit of a mix of everything. I don't like coffee or tea; I have a soft spot for alcohol."

Wu Xianlong nodded with a smile. "It seems Chairman Chen is a man of temperament."

"You flatter me, Mr. Wu. Young people like things that are a bit more exciting."

Wu Xianlong smiled, knowing the other party wasn't interested, and didn't pursue the topic further, turning instead to Zhao Rui. "I heard from Little Hui that you and Rui Rui get along quite well, Chairman Chen?"

Chen Cheng naturally wouldn't deny it and nodded with a smile. "That is indeed the case."

"Meeting without senior brother's introduction, it really is fate."

"I don't have much family. When I see Rui Rui, I don't know why, but I feel like I have a younger sister."

"Isn't it a coincidence? We even live in the same building. Mr. Wu, wouldn't you say that's quite fated?"

Wu Xianlong was noncommittal; when he heard Zhao Hui mention it, he also thought it was a strange coincidence.

After chatting with Wu Xianlong for a while, Chen Cheng got up to leave.

Zhao Hui didn't intend to stay either; he greeted Wu Xianlong and left the clubhouse with Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng had Zhao Hui get into his car.

"Dad, is this Chen guy really that formidable?" Watching the two leave, Wu Xiaofei couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xianlong watched the direction the car disappeared, squinting his eyes. "He is an extraordinary young man."

After saying this, he turned to look at Wu Xiaofei. "Don't go provoking him."

Wu Xiaofei nodded. "Dad, I know that."

Wu Xianlong nodded with satisfaction and walked back on his own, with Wu Xiaofei respectfully following behind. "He was able to come today because of your Uncle Zhao's favor, and perhaps Rui Rui's as well."

"Since the business didn't work out, we'll just keep to ourselves from now on."

"Alright..."
