In Qin Shi's mind, she might not have secured the business, but she got the man, so it wasn't a loss.

Chen Cheng, on the other hand, got the woman without losing the business; naturally, it was impossible for him to lose out.

He didn't know if, in Qin Shi's logic, Zou Yu was the one who lost.

After having a meal with Scum Cheng, Qin Shi limped down to the underground garage. Her legs were trembling slightly as she started the car.

“That dog is like a bull,” Qin Shi muttered as she returned home, her hips still feeling sore.

As for going to work?

I'm exhausted to this point, what work is there to do?

“Bad guy, no tenderness for the fair sex at all.”

Qin Shi adjusted the air conditioner temperature, cursed fiercely a few more times, and then curled up under the covers and fell into a deep sleep.

After Qin Shi left, Chen Cheng leaned back in his office chair, thinking about what happened today.

He picked up the phone and gave Tan Zongming a call.

If Panorama existed, then with Tan Zongming's power, it was impossible for him not to know there was a Robin who looked exactly like him.

“Yo, what wind blew today to make you think of an old man like me?”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly. “Big Brother, you're making fun of me, aren't you?”

“Get to the point,” Tan Zongming said with a smile, raising an eyebrow in a mock-annoyed tone.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and asked, “Big Brother, do you know about Panorama?”

Tan Zongming raised an eyebrow. “You want to ask about Robin, right?”

“Big Brother, you know me best,” Chen Cheng smiled.

“There's no relation between us. I was also very surprised when I first saw him.”

“I even specifically went back to the old residence to ask the family. Anyway, the old man won't admit it.”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up, understanding the meaning behind Tan Zongming's words.

He hadn't expected that Robin would be an illegitimate son of the Tan family wandering outside.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment. Regarding Red Star, Andy's side had already made substantial progress.

Then the matter Chen Cheng had planned in his heart should also be started.

He asked, “Big Brother, where are you right now?”

“I have an IP plan and want to talk to you in person.”

Tan Zongming glanced at his watch. “I'm at home. Come over; I'll clear my afternoon schedule for you.”

“...”

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up.

“Li Na~” Chen Cheng pressed the intercom and called out.

Soon, Li Na walked in with a swaying gait. “Chairman Chen, what are your instructions?”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. “It seems you've adapted quite quickly.”

A smile appeared on Li Na's face. “It's alright.”

“Accompany me to the West Suburb Villa.”

Li Na's eyes flickered as she nodded. “Okay, are we leaving now?”

Chen Cheng nodded, then remembered Zou Yu. “Has Zou Yu left? If not, call her along too.”

“Lawyer Zou is still here,” Li Na nodded.

She probably understood Chen Cheng's positioning for her.

She was the Director of the Secretary's Office and also his chief steward.

While Zou Yu was responsible for legal issues within the secretary's office.

She just didn't know how big her new boss's ambition actually was.

If it was big enough, it meant that her power as the Director of the Secretary's Office would also rise accordingly.

She was satisfied with this point.

Especially after Gao Yue had given her a general overview of Company Name, Li Na's expectations for Company Name grew even stronger.

“Alright, let her know. Call me when you're ready.”

“Yes, Chairman Chen,” Li Na nodded with a smile and exited Chen Cheng's office.

Chen Cheng looked at her curvaceous and charming back, the corners of his mouth curling up.

Her favorability was 65, which was quite ordinary, but still higher than Zou Yu's 60.

A moment later, Chen Cheng was wearing a suit and tie, with two great beauties standing to his left and right.

Chen Cheng's steps were even more unsteady than when he stepped onto the podium at the fundraising meeting.

That saying was right: women and power are a man's aphrodisiacs.

Nothing was said along the way; Chen Cheng sat in the back row, half-lying and dozing off.

Zou Yu sat in the passenger seat. She didn't understand why Chen Cheng wanted her to come along, but she didn't object and followed anyway.

Li Na sat beside Chen Cheng, sizing up her new boss with great interest.

If Robin was a bottle of aged wine, then the guy in front of her was a bottle of champagne that made one feel infinitely energetic.

His bulging pectoral muscles, moving Adam's apple, and clear, smooth jawline all displayed a sense of vigorous vitality and power to her.

When they arrived at Tan Zongming's West Suburb Villa, the car had just come to a steady stop when Tan Zongming came out from inside to greet them.

Tan Zongming glanced at the two women behind Chen Cheng and joked with a smile, “Yo, who are these two great beauties?”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up as he stepped aside to introduce them to Tan Zongming. “This is my secretary, Li Na.” He then pointed to Zou Yu. “Lawyer Zou Yu.”

Li Na obviously knew Tan Zongming and didn't show any surprise, generously reaching out her hand to him. “Hello, Chairman Tan. I'm Li Na.”

Tan Zongming had a smile on his face as he gently shook her slender hand. “Hello, welcome to my home.”

Zou Yu also showed a smile and followed suit, reaching out her hand. “Hello, Chairman Tan. I am Chairman Chen's lawyer, Zou Yu.”

Tan Zongming similarly shook hands with Zou Yu with a smile.

After the handshakes, he walked side-by-side with Chen Cheng in front. “What's the matter that you had to come in person?”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up, acting mysterious. “The sun has weakened. How about going to the lake to fish?”

Tan Zongming laughed mockingly. “It seems nothing good is coming.”

Chen Cheng shook his head. “Hey, Big Brother, how can you think of me like that? I have a heart of absolute sincerity.”

Tan Zongming's mouth twitched, even more certain that this kid was up to no good. He waved his hand. “Drink some water first! I'll have someone arrange the fishing gear right away.”

Chen Cheng wasn't polite at all. He walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa with a grand posture.

Tan Zongming waved his hand. “Special Assistant Li, Lawyer Zou, please sit. Your boss and I have been friends for many years, no need to be so restrained.”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up as he smiled. “In a bit, I'm going to the lakeside to fish with Big Brother. Are you two coming along to fish or staying in the house?”

Before Li Na and Zou Yu could respond, Tan Zongming spoke first. “Big Brother's place has a movie theater, spa room, and red wine bar—everything is complete. You two beauties can do as you please.”

He understood Chen Cheng; women he didn't care for wouldn't be kept by his side, let alone brought to his place.

To maintain his relationship with Chen Cheng, being a bit polite was nothing; he naturally wouldn't be stingy with a few polite words.

Li Na's face bloomed like a flower. “I haven't tried fishing yet. How about I learn a thing or two from the two bosses?”

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; the way Li Na did things just made people feel comfortable.

In contrast, Zou Yu was a bit cooler, showing a professional smile. “I've fished before.”

Seeing the two say this, Tan Zongming didn't say anything more.

At Tan Zongming's place, there were housekeepers, nannies, chefs, gardeners, drivers, security, and even massage therapists—over a dozen people, just...

The word 'outrageous' came to Chen Cheng's mind, but he didn't say it aloud.

He had also brought five or six people over: Li Na, Zou Yu, Eleven, plus three others sitting in the car outside the villa.

It was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

A moment later, Tan Zongming's housekeeper led three or four people to set up sun umbrellas and lounge chairs by the lake. Fruit, drinks, and tea sets were arranged on the coffee table.

Chen Cheng picked a 7.2-meter rod from Tan Zongming's storage. The weather was hot now, and fish were hiding in deep water, so a long rod was more effective for exploring the depths.
