The KFC Sisters refers to the influencer supermodel trio of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Bella Hadid.
Chen Cheng knew Jenner, but certainly not to the extent that she would go out of her way to come over and say hello.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, knowing it was still that Time Magazine cover causing trouble.
Before, Jenner probably only knew Chen Cheng as a wealthy enthusiast.
But she didn't know his true depth.
Once that rag of a magazine came out, it immediately opened up a world of possibilities for the imagination.
Chen Cheng didn't even move from his seat, forcing a smile as he responded, "Hi, Kendall."
He then turned to look at the Hadid sisters, "Gigi, Bella."
The Hadid sisters didn't actually know Chen Cheng, but that didn't stop them from playing along for the occasion.
The two sisters wore bright smiles, looking very surprised. "Hi~ Chen, I didn't expect you to actually know us."
If they hadn't listened to Jenner, they wouldn't have even come over.
Chen Cheng smiled, "Of course."
After the greetings, the three sisters didn't say much more; the two sides weren't close.
However, while the three sisters were exchanging pleasantries and chatting with Anna, their eyes would glance toward Chen Cheng from time to time.
They didn't notice the disdainful look from Zhao Rui, who was right next to Anna.
Watching Anna chat warmly with the three of them, Chen Cheng's lip twitched slightly; those three were actually quite familiar with her.
Unfortunately, Chen Cheng didn't want to have anything to do with the Kardashian family at all.
That family would go to any lengths just to become famous.
Sex tapes, bed photos, nude photos—there were too many to count.
What they wanted was the attention economy.
Chen Cheng didn't want to become a stepping stone for someone else's progress, much less the lead actor in one of their videos.
The main reason was that they were the same type of people; they both loved to play around.
People who love to play should just play their own games; there was no need to play together.
They would only end up looking down on each other.
Why bother?
Before halftime ended, the three sisters even took out their phones and exchanged contact information with Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng did add them, but he used a burner account.
Jenner, unfortunately, was like a public bus; she should just go wait for her Suns' big gun to generate traffic.
As for the Hadid sisters, their looks simply didn't fit his aesthetic.
In any case, not a single one of them appeared on his regular contact list.
Bobby returned from the restroom and, seeing the KFC Sisters returning to their front-row seats, looked at Chen Cheng with a knowing, suggestive expression.
Chen Cheng spread his hands, offering no explanation.
In this regard, Bobby still understood Chen Cheng, knowing he wouldn't get on a public bus and leave his ferrari.
He just smiled and said nothing.
It was a regular-season game, and both sides played quite standardly.
The offensive firepower was strong as they took shots at each other's baskets, but the defensive intensity certainly couldn't compare to the playoffs.
In the end, the Nets narrowly defeated the Bucks 125-123.
Euro God had a normal performance with 27 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists.
As the crowd began to disperse, Chen Cheng handed the notebook in his hand to Bobby.
Bobby looked at the notebook in Chen Cheng's hand and was stunned for a moment. "This is a song?"
Chen Cheng's lip twitched as he spread his hands. "Obviously."
"A New Year's gift for Allison. I hope she likes it."
Bobby frowned. "Chen, since when do you know anything about music?"
Chen Cheng had written this while watching the game earlier. Bobby had seen the whole process but hadn't taken it seriously, thinking he was just writing for fun.
He hadn't expected him to give this thing to Allison.
Chen Cheng smiled brilliantly, looking at Bobby's shiny forehead. "Bobby, I'm a singer now."
"What?"
Bobby did a tactical lean back, his face written all over with shock.
Chen Cheng nodded with a smile. "Bobby, it's true. Perhaps you can search for the name 'Chen Jianan' on Dragon Country's music platforms."
As Chen Cheng spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote the Pinyin in the notebook that was already in Bobby's hand.
The song Chen Cheng wrote in the notebook was called 'I Hate Myself for Loving You.'
This was a classic old song released before the 90s from Chen Cheng's place of origin—Blue Star.
Fearing that Bobby wouldn't recognize its value and might throw it in the trash, Chen Cheng said a few more words.
Seeing Chen Cheng's serious expression, a smile appeared on Bobby's face. "OK, I will pass it on to Allison."
"Thank you, Chen."
Chen Cheng nodded with a smile. "You're welcome."
After a few more pleasantries, they followed the crowd out of the stadium.
This song was Joan Jett's signature work, and Joan Jett was a rock icon for several generations.
Even before Chen Cheng's stroke of luck, this song was a top 10 presence in the rock world.
It could be said that Chen Cheng had gifted Bobby a national idol.
It all depended on whether Allison had the talent for it.
In any case, Chen Cheng had given the favor. Whether it would succeed was up to fate.
At this social level, giving money directly was simply too low-class and made it easy for others to find fault.
Of course, if Bobby wanted money, he could sign a wealth management agreement with Chen Cheng and take the money legitimately.
Certain things weren't prohibited here.
And when Allison became famous, Bobby would know the true value of this song.
Chen Cheng wouldn't ask him to do anything illegal on his behalf anyway.
An old fox like Bobby wouldn't do anything risky either.
Chen Cheng maintained the relationship purely to pave the way for possible future situations.
It was the same everywhere.
It's easier to get things done when you have people in high places.
The annual dividends from the stocks long held by Company Name, besides maintaining daily operations and staff salaries,
most of the remainder was actually used to manage his network.
There was the information network in Karen's hands, as well as the personal network Chen Cheng held himself.
Over the next few days, Chen Cheng made appointments with several different people.
They participated in various entertainment activities.
Golf, tennis, equestrianism, long-distance running, and so on.
Among the people were those who, like Bobby, worked for the government, but even more were connections within the Investment Bank.
Until this morning, when Zou Yu rushed into Chen Cheng's study.
"Something happened."
Chen Cheng was currently staring blankly at the jumping K-line of Company Name on his computer screen.
Hearing her voice, Chen Cheng finally looked up at her.
"What's wrong?"
Zou Yu looked worried and handed him the tablet in her hand.
"The DC CDC issued a travel warning for Jiangzhou."
Looking at the news on the screen, Chen Cheng didn't feel a hint of worry.
Because he had known for a long time.
The information Karen had summarized a few days ago had already reflected what was happening in Jiangzhou.
A smile appeared on Chen Cheng's lips as he handed the tablet back to Zou Yu. "I already know."
Zou Yu took the tablet, still looking worried.
"Alright..."
Chen Cheng was about to tell her to leave when he suddenly remembered she was from Jiangzhou and her parents were still living in the Jiangzhou countryside.
Chen Cheng thought for a moment but still didn't say anything else, instead curling his lip. "If you're worried, go make a phone call. Why are you just standing here?"
"Oh~"
Zou Yu finally snapped out of it, curled her lip, and turned to leave the study.
Chen Cheng knew very well that he couldn't do anything.
Even if he did, it would be useless.
He was just a butterfly who knew a little bit more than others.
No matter how hard he flapped his wings, he couldn't change the path of a typhoon.
What he could do was seize every opportunity.
Chen Cheng pulled his thoughts back and opened the Rolling option strategy he had been preparing for a long time.
