After dropping Andy and Guan Juer off at the basement, Eleven drove them to Financial Street.

Chen Cheng went upstairs, called the cleaning staff to tidy up the table and room, and then entered the study.

In several of the properties, Chen Cheng had asked Gao Yue to arrange for computers and Bloomberg terminals to be installed.

Chen Cheng, while watching the market, lowered his head to refine the position-building plan for Company Name's first external product.

At this moment, the best target for building positions was new energy.

Once Emaar officially starts domestic production, new energy will experience rapid growth.

Standing at this intersection of opportunity, he was definitely going to be the pig that learned to fly.

With the direction confirmed, the rest was a matter of the investment portfolio and how to allocate positions.

Dezi and Dizi were must-haves for heavy positions, accounting for 40%.

No choice; less than two years and a ten-fold return—who could resist that?

It was just too good.

The remaining fragments were listed as specific holdings for about a dozen stocks, involving healthcare and semiconductors.

He still vividly remembered being scammed by Lanlan and Caicai; how could he not reverse-harvest them?

Even so, he didn't go fully long in the end, controlling the overall position at around 85%.

Yesterday, Chen Cheng ordered the fundraising to be locked; he didn't want another penny.

By the time the lock-up ended, Company Name Future No. 1 had raised 20 billion, over-subscribed by 100%.

The positions Chen Cheng had prepared beforehand could not absorb so much capital.

"Looks like I'll have to set my sights on the Americans."

Chen Cheng pulled up the stock price of Company Name, smiling with a devious charm.

A perfect plan to take over Company Name quietly formed in his mind.

Using the raised funds, he would buy up shares nearing the threshold for a stake disclosure.

When the time was ripe, he would throw the long-prepared items into the market.

Once Company Name plummeted, he would have a legitimate reason to acquire Company Name.

At that time, to the outside world, it would appear that Chen Cheng, in order to protect his invincible reputation, was forced to take over this hot potato, Company Name.

Once Company Name had fallen as far as it could, that would be the moment he would make his move. He had the reason for his troops to advance, the price had come down—it was simply perfect.

The rest was to resolve any resistance.

Chen Cheng pulled up the files for Company Name and began researching the executive profiles.

Finally, he locked his target on the son-in-law of the founding family—Jiang Han.

A small-town test-taker who made it to Beijing University, he joined the Han Family's company after graduation.

Later, he met the eldest daughter of the Han Family and pursued her frantically. Having some looks and ability, he managed to win the heart of the Han Family's daughter.

He could be considered a typical "phoenix man".

"Solid fortresses are often breached from within..."

Chen Cheng took out his phone and called Karen, "The investigation into the general manager of Company Name can be more in-depth."

"Find two groups of people to secretly create a psychological profile for him. I want to know and understand him without his knowledge."

"Understood, Boss. I will arrange it right away."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone and closed his eyes, rehearsing the entire process of taking over Company Name for a while.

Anticipating all possible situations that might arise.

And just taking it over wasn't enough; he also had to think about how to expand and increase its value.

He also needed an alternative plan in case he couldn't take over Company Name.

Entering the real economy was an imperative goal for Chen Cheng.

Without being able to solve more social problems, no matter how much money he earned, it would all be a castle in the air.

Qiu Yingying returned to Ode to Joy alone, fuming, and her mood soured the moment she got home.

A living room with no natural light, and a bedroom less than 8 square meters.

A bedding set on the bed that cost less than two hundred yuan.

Thinking of all this, the sense of disparity in Qiu Yingying's heart immediately surfaced.

She sat on the sofa and threw the cushions one by one, as if venting her anger.

"Ding-dong~"

Qiu Yingying picked up her phone and took a look; it was a message from Chen Cheng.

[If you have nothing to do, go shopping. Don't mistreat yourself.]

For some reason, a smile appeared on her face.

She clutched her phone and started giggling foolishly. That's right, he was right; she shouldn't mistreat herself.

Thinking of the money Chen Cheng had forced upon her.

I'm going to eat steak, Western food, and also...

As she thought about it, Qiu Yingying giggled out loud.

She skipped and hopped back to her room, preparing to change into a beautiful outfit to go out and enjoy some shopping.

Chen Cheng looked at the 'Mm' Qiu Yingying sent, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. "I really am a bad guy."

Chen Cheng finished organizing the position-building plan and sent it to Qu Honglei.

As for Company Name, Chen Cheng handed it over to Aks, who was still doing project auditing at Company Name. Of course, the money would come from Company Name Future No. 1.

Busy until the market closed, Chen Cheng began looking at the mountain of project audit reports that had piled up at Company Name over the past few days.

Just as Chen Cheng was looking at the reports, his phone rang.

"What is it, Eleven?"

"Hmm..." Eleven pondered for a moment, then said, "Boss, you haven't been out all day. Would you like to eat something?"

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly; this girl had actually started to take the initiative to care about him.

He glanced at his watch; it was already seven o'clock. He rubbed his stomach; he was actually a bit hungry.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Help me book a fusion restaurant. No private room, just a table for two. Let's leave now."

"Okay, Boss," Eleven said, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly as she nodded.

After hanging up the phone, she started looking for a restaurant on social media. This was her first time booking a restaurant for Chen Cheng, and she was a bit flustered.

After searching for a long time, thinking that Chen Cheng would be coming down soon, she called her best friend for help.

At 7:30, Chen Cheng brought Eleven into the restaurant, and the waiter led them to the booked table.

Chen Cheng pointed to the seat in front of him, "Sit, have a meal with me."

Eleven was a bit stunned, smiled, and then pulled out the chair and sat down.

Chen Cheng ordered some dishes and didn't speak the whole time, eating while looking at news from various aspects.

Eleven was a bit nervous at first, wondering if he would say anything. As it turned out, he sat down and didn't say a word.

Slowly, Eleven relaxed. Looking at her Great Handsome Guy boss, the rice in her bowl seemed even more fragrant.

Watching the Great Handsome Guy looking seriously at his phone, the corners of Eleven's mouth couldn't stop curling up.

But Chen Cheng was frowning; Xiao Ye hadn't replied to his messages for over 24 hours.

This wasn't like her.

He called her directly, but after a long ringing tone, no one answered.

Chen Cheng frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the phone screen, wondering why.

He looked up at Eleven, "That livehouse from last time, give them a call. I need to find Xiao Ye immediately."

Eleven's hand holding the spoon froze in place. Seeing Chen Cheng's serious expression, she immediately put away her thoughts.

"Okay, I'll contact them right away."

After saying this, Eleven picked up her phone and walked out.

Chen Cheng frowned, suddenly feeling that he had made some mistakes.

He had only been thinking about sleeping with her and hadn't had much contact with the people around her. Now that Xiao Ye was unreachable, he didn't even have a way to contact her.

Chen Cheng immediately reviewed whether there were similar situations with others.

After reviewing everyone, it seemed there really wasn't any such situation.

Before long, Eleven returned.

"I got the contact information for the other band members."

Chen Cheng took Eleven's phone and called.

"Hello, hello," a slightly low male voice came from the other end of the line.

Chen Cheng knew who it was as soon as he heard it. "Hello, Little Ma, this is Chen Cheng."

"I can't reach Xiao Ye right now. Do you know her home address?"

"I'm a bit worried."

Little Ma also frowned, wondering how many days Xiao Ye hadn't appeared.

"It's at..."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, signaled Eleven to go pay the bill, picked up his own phone, and walked towards the outside.
