After speaking, he looked at Ye Jinyan with a smile.

The meaning was clear; asking for my help comes with a price.

Ye Jinyan smiled, "Company Name has an intelligent project focused on AI applications in the construction field. I wonder if Chairman Chen is interested?"

Chen Cheng was taken aback; this old guy actually had a good eye.

He actually invested in a niche AI sector.

However, real estate is already on the decline; why talk about scenario enhancement?

Truth be told, the market is simply too small to withstand the overall industry downturn.

Chen Cheng shook his head, "Forget about the project; I don't have the personal energy for it."

Ye Jinyan forced a smile, "It seems Chairman Chen has high hopes for ZEN."

Chen Cheng did not answer his question. After thinking for a moment, he asked quietly, "Mr. Ye, what is the actual debt-to-asset ratio of Company Name?"

Hm?

Ye Jinyan was taken aback, not knowing why Chen Cheng suddenly asked this. After thinking, he said, "It should be around 75%."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth; it seemed Company Name's financial reports were a bit inflated.

Chen Cheng pondered, "Since Mr. Ye invited me to Company Name, you might as well find a way to lower the debt-to-asset ratio."

"Because even if I join, I would advise doing so anyway."

After speaking, he smiled and picked up his coffee, no longer caring about Ye Jinyan's mood, and turned his head to look at the bid evaluation site on the surveillance screen.

Ye Jinyan was stunned. Company Name's debt-to-asset ratio, while not the lowest among listed real estate companies in the industry, was relatively healthy.

What did he mean by that?

Frowning, Ye Jinyan picked up his phone and sent a message to Fan Jingang: [Arrange for the group's finance department to review the debt situation.]

Putting down the phone, he looked at Chen Cheng. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly asked, "Was the divestment from real estate by Company name also Chairman Chen's suggestion?"

Chen Cheng shook his head, "Old Tan did indeed consult me for advice."

"However, Company name's various industrial lines were small but not refined. Old Tan actually had the intention to divest and transform long ago; I just happened to be there at the right time."

Ye Jinyan smiled, "Chairman Chen seems very firm about investing in new energy vehicles."

Chen Cheng thought about it, but didn't say anything, just nodded faintly.

"Hmm~"

He originally wanted to say that times are changing, and AI will reshape the entire economic structure and industrial upgrading.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

He was not anyone's savior, and he didn't want to bear the karma of such a large entity as Company Name.

After finishing the bid evaluation at Company Name, Chen Cheng left. Regarding the matter of becoming an independent non-executive director, Chen Cheng said he would consider it further.

The ZEN team synthesized the financial advice and ultimately chose the economical and practical Zhang Anren.

Chen Cheng had no intention of interfering.

The Data Center is primarily about utility and cost-saving; whether it looks good is not that important.

It just so happened that Zhang Anren had this kind of personality, and the designs he led also had this flavor.

In the end, it formed a situation where subordinates submitted reports and Chen Cheng approved the slips.

On the way back, Miao Che was also sitting in Chen Cheng's car.

Chen Cheng looked at Miao Che and joked, "The first time I saw this Manager Yang from Company Name on the golf course, I was stunned for quite a while."

"Senior brother, are you two really not twins or something?"

Miao Che shook his head quickly, "Hey, don't talk nonsense; I'm the only son in my family."

Chen Cheng laughed out loud and asked Li Na, "Li Na, has the ZEN office been settled?"

"Yes, it's settled. It's temporarily arranged downstairs from the Company Name office."

Chen Cheng nodded, "Talk to Zou Yu and have her return to the company."

"You go to ZEN as Vice President and be responsible for daily operations."

Li Na turned her head and looked at Chen Cheng in shock, "Really?"

"Yes. You participated in the entire establishment of the team, and you know everyone."

"Recently, you have also been coordinating relationships in all aspects."

"It's most appropriate for you to go."

Li Na's eyes lit up immediately, "I guarantee I will complete the task assigned by the organization."

Chen Cheng smiled, "When you leave, someone needs to fill the secretary position."

Li Na chuckled, "I'll go find her after work."

Chen Cheng nodded with satisfaction and turned to look out the window.

The concept of group integration had been swirling in Chen Cheng's mind.

In the end, it all boiled down to one sentence: no money.

He sighed, "Waiting for the wind to come."

Chen Cheng asked Eleven to drop Li Na and Miao Che off downstairs at the company. He patted Miao Che, "Senior brother, find time to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination."

Miao Che was stunned, "I just did one this year. In August."

Chen Cheng was taken aback, "Was it comprehensive enough?"

Miao Che nodded, "The benefits at Shenmao Bank are quite good; the executive physical examination is very comprehensive."

"There are some issues with my liver and kidneys from staying up late; it's an old problem."

Chen Cheng smiled, "Alright then." He had Eleven drive to Qiao Jingjing's place.

On the way, Chen Cheng checked the new check-in rewards.

He was right; the check-in rewards for the 'Golden Years' world had indeed been triggered at Company Name.

[Eye of Health Detection]

It is a comprehensive biological information scanning function.

It can instantly obtain detailed physiological indicators of the target.

It accurately assesses the functional status of major organ systems.

It also automatically analyzes diseases based on the scanned biological information.

If Chen Cheng were to work in a hospital, he would be a human diagnostic machine.

Chen Cheng even tested it on Li Na, Eleven, and Miao Che.

The scanning results for Li Na and Eleven showed they were healthy.

Miao Che, however, showed sub-health status; there were some issues with his shoulders, neck, lumbar spine, liver, and kidneys. This was the reason Chen Cheng asked Miao Che to get a physical exam earlier.

Since Miao Che knew about the problems, he didn't say anything.

Sub-health is a very common thing among the working class; out of ten laborers, nine are sub-healthy.

Eleven parked the car on the side of the road by the flower shop downstairs at Qiao Jingjing's apartment complex and went to buy flowers.

Chen Cheng sat in the car reviewing things. Before long, Eleven returned.

Chen Cheng looked up at the flowers she placed in the passenger seat and asked with a raised eyebrow:

"Didn't I tell you to buy two bouquets?"

Eleven rolled her eyes at him, "Who buys flowers for themselves every other day?"

A sheepish smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face.

Eleven smirked; serves him right, the stinking scumbag.

Eleven drove the car into the underground garage and parked it at the unit entrance. Chen Cheng got out of the car and went upstairs with the flowers.

"Hm? Where's Jingjing?"

Little Zhu, who came to open the door, saw Chen Cheng, her eyes lit up, and she revealed a faint smile, "Jingjing is inside picking out clothes."

"Sister Ling is also here."

Chen Cheng nodded, handed the flowers to her, changed into slippers, and entered the house.

Before he could enter the walk-in closet, Qiao Jingjing hopped out.

She ran to Chen Cheng with a beaming smile, spun around, "Does it look good?"
