The next day.
Chen Cheng ordered takeout, and the group finished their breakfast.
Guan Juer was preparing to head out with Chen Cheng when she turned and asked Qiu Yingying, "Yingying, are you going out today?"
From the moment she stepped out of her room that morning, Qiu Yingying's face had been slightly flushed.
She felt both embarrassed and somewhat excited inside.
She had already started to enjoy this feeling of being both suppressed and exhilarated.
Qiu Yingying nodded obediently and told a casual lie, "Mhm, I have an interview to go to today."
The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Guan Juer nodded and smiled, "Then good luck!"
As she spoke, she pumped her fist in encouragement.
Chen Cheng drove the 911 Targa to drop Guan Juer off at her company.
He then went to his own office and handled some documents for a while.
At noon, he had a lunch date with Andy.
The two hadn't had a chance to meet privately recently.
They met at a hotel to pour their hearts out to each other.
In the afternoon, he reappeared in the office looking refreshed.
With the preparations for the new company, there were many things that needed to be handled.
He held two video conferences throughout the afternoon.
It wasn't until five o'clock that Chen Cheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zen Ai's temporary office couldn't be located in the Company Name Global Tower either, so another office space had to be rented.
Calculating it like this, there were three companies and three locations.
"It seems the group headquarters also needs to be put into the planning."
Chen Cheng tapped the desk lightly with his right hand and murmured to himself.
"Knock, knock, knock~"
"Come in~"
Li Na wore a black and white polka-dot pencil skirt. The well-fitted cut outlined her sexy curves. With her long wavy hair and red lips, she swayed gracefully as she walked, exuding charm.
"Chairman Chen, should I head off work then?"
Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. I'll be leaving in a while too."
"Have a nice weekend."
A bright smile appeared on Li Na's face. "Boss, have a nice weekend."
After saying goodbye, Li Na left the office.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow as he watched Li Na's retreating figure. This woman was too enchanting. If Scum Cheng hadn't been through many trials, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand her daily variety of pencil skirts.
Letting out a breath, he thought of Qiao Jingjing. He took out his phone and opened... as he walked toward the elevator.
"Timi..."
Looking at his friend list, Chen Cheng frowned; she actually wasn't online.
If he remembered correctly, she started playing the game because someone uploaded a video online of her being crushed like a total noob.
Chen Cheng switched to Weibo, searched for it, and took a look.
Uh...
Chen Cheng was a bit speechless. It seemed the person who had ruthlessly bashed Qiao Jingjing for playing Xiao Qiao so poorly was himself.
It was that time when he was waiting for Zhao Rui, Deng Xiaoqi, and Lin Miaomiao at the tutoring center.
Come to think of it, Lin Miaomiao deserved some credit too, because she played the second half of the match.
In one match as Li Bai, he got thirteen kills, and Qiao Jingjing's Xiao Qiao contributed six of them.
"Pfft..."
Chen Cheng burst out laughing as he watched Qiao Jingjing's Xiao Qiao, who played like a complete ditz.
After looking at Qiao Jingjing's gossip for a while, Chen Cheng turned off the screen.
"Eleven, let's go to Fuxing Road."
Eleven turned her head slightly. "Okay, Boss."
Chen Cheng reclined in the back seat of the pullman, gazing blankly at the busy streets outside the car window, his eyes lost in thought.
A vibration interrupted Chen Cheng's daydreaming.
He picked up his phone and saw it was a call from Jiang Tianhao.
"What's up, Hao Zi?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Tianhao was sitting on his electric scooter, looking nervous. "Brother Cheng, I've finished the script and sent it to you. Take a look, will you?"
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow; this kid was really fast.
He checked his watch; the call came right after school ended.
It looked like he had been writing all day.
Chen Cheng gave a resigned laugh. "Alright, I got it. I'll take a look in a bit."
With that, he hung up the phone.
He opened the image Jiang Tianhao had sent.
Yeah, this guy had secretly written it on paper during class.
The storyboards didn't really evoke much of a feeling.
It was nothing more than using the Old Western-style house districts like Fuxing Road and Huaihai Road to create a sense of mystery regarding social status.
Looking at the narration, Chen Cheng's eyes lit up. "The maybach might not be the fastest car, but it can escape the fate of being unable to stand tall for many years."
After reading the script, Chen Cheng's lips twitched. "This kid actually has some talent."
He knew how to hit a pain point with one sentence, giving people the desire to keep watching.
He raised an eyebrow and sent a reply to Jiang Tianhao.
After replying, he gave Eleven an instruction. "Eleven, set a time with Hao Zi and help him film a video. He doesn't have a Yellow-plate driver's license, so he can't drive it."
Although Eleven didn't know why Chen Cheng was helping that teenage boy so much, she responded quickly, "Okay."
Glancing at Eleven, who was acting a bit cold and aloof, Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly. He ignored her, put down his phone, and continued looking out the window.
Why help Jiang Tianhao so much?
Chen Cheng hadn't just started favoring Jiang Tianhao; he had already invested tens of millions.
Since he had chosen to place a bet, he shouldn't be stingy about raising the stakes.
Although CEO Jiang was young, he had an excellent character and, more importantly, he was very loyal.
Someone like him would be very loyal when employed.
Returning to the house on Fuxing Road, Anna saw Chen Cheng enter and immediately jumped off the sofa, bounding barefoot into his arms.
After a bit of intimacy, the two sat on the sofa chatting.
Anna lay on Chen Cheng's lap, lazily watching TV.
Chen Cheng's eyes lit up at the content on the TV.
She was watching a documentary about farming on a farm.
"Why are you interested in agriculture?" Chen Cheng asked with a smile.
Anna pursed her lips and smiled, thinking for a moment. "Just watching randomly. I'm a bit bored."
The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth lifted slightly, but he didn't say anything.
When someone starts caring about grain and vegetables, they already have the intention of retiring to the countryside.
It seemed that after the incident with Zou Yu, Anna had become somewhat discouraged.
Chen Cheng stroked her cheek. "I'll have someone get you a work visa. Go and get your driver's license exchanged. That way, you'll be able to drive."
"I won't be with you every day, and you don't have to wait for me to come home every day either."
"Dragon Country is very big; you can go and see all sorts of places."
Anna thought about it and felt it was a good idea. She nodded, "Okay, then I'll get my driver's license first."
Chen Cheng smiled, lowered his head, and gave her a doting kiss. "Good!"
After a while, En Hui came up to call them for dinner.
En Hui didn't know how to cook Chinese food, but she was quite good at Western cuisine.
Chen Cheng had tasted everything and wasn't a picky eater.
After dinner, Chen Cheng logged onto the game.
After idling for a while, he indeed saw a private message from Qiao Jingjing.
【Hands Can Pluck Cotton: Do you want to play? Please carry me!】
There was a mail notification showing that Qiao Jingjing had sent him two skins.
Chen Cheng didn't reply immediately but went to the kitchen to pour some water.
Two minutes later, Chen Cheng replied in the chat box:
【Okay, you open a room, and I'll join】
Qiao Jingjing looked at the chat box and her face immediately turned red. "What do you mean 'I open a room'..."
After a two-second pause, she muttered again, "Pah, Qiao Jingjing, what are you thinking? He's just asking you to invite him."
