Lan Qianyi walked back to the doorway, "Chairman Chen, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Chen Cheng waved his hand, "No need, I'll just stand here for a bit."

As he spoke, he chatted casually with Lan Qianyi, "I heard that all four departments gave you offers, and you ended up going to the Risk Control Center?"

Lan Qianyi nodded, "Yes. Actually, I was very hesitant at first, but slowly I became firm in my decision."

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile and offered a compliment, "Admirable courage."

Risk control isn't just about "finding problems" and "saying no"; it's about becoming an all-around expert who understands law, finance, business, industry, and valuation modeling.

You have to find a balance between "business promotion" and "risk control."

Actually, risk control is more suitable for experienced Old Slickers.

Of course, newcomers have their advantages; they can maintain rational judgment for a long time without being influenced by internal relationships when assessing risks.

Before long, Yu Chuhui came out, "Brother Cheng."

"Chairman Chen, then I'll head back to my room, you two chat."

Seeing someone come out, Lan Qianyi nodded, greeted her, and turned back to her room.

Chen Cheng nodded, and seeing Lan Qianyi go inside, he said to Yu Chuhui, "Come with me."

"Huh?" Yu Chuhui was still a bit dazed, but she let out an "Oh~" and followed him.

Walking up the stairs, Yu Chuhui's face flushed a little.

She muttered to herself, Brother Cheng wouldn't be thinking of that, would he?

But I'm on my period...

What should I do...

Who knew, upon reaching the 23rd floor, Chen Cheng didn't walk towards 2301, but instead walked to the door of 2303, which was above Ye Zhenzhen's place.

Yu Chuhui was stunned, "Brother Cheng, you haven't been back in so long, did you go to the wrong place?"

Chen Cheng laughed dismissively, "The entire 23rd floor is mine."

"Ah?" Yu Chuhui's eyes widened instantly.

Chen Cheng fumbled for a long time, only to find the lock was out of power, "I guess it hasn't been opened in too long, the battery died."

"You wait here for a moment, I'll go get the key."

Saying this, he turned and went to 2301.

"Oh, okay," Yu Chuhui replied, watching Chen Cheng's back, her mind racing.

"Brother Cheng, what is he up to?"

Suddenly, her peripheral vision caught 2202 downstairs, and her eyes lit up immediately.

That's right, Brother Cheng and Guan Juer are getting hot and heavy. And now this Lan Qianyi is almost cut from the same cloth as Guan Juer.

So... Brother Cheng doesn't want her to be tormented by He Minhong, so he wants me to move out of 2202 with her?

Just as Yu Chuhui was feeling proud of her own cleverness, Chen Cheng returned with a mechanical key and a document envelope.

Chen Cheng opened the door, and Yu Chuhui blinked and asked: "Brother Cheng, how come you have time to come over here?"

"Come in?"

"Oh~"

Yu Chuhui let out an "Oh" and followed Chen Cheng into the house.

She took a look at the interior decoration, "Brother Cheng, the decoration style of this apartment is quite similar to the one Lucy had at 2201 before."

Chen Cheng flipped the main circuit breaker and adjusted the air conditioning control panel.

"The layouts are all the same, so the decoration is mostly similar."

He pointed to the sofa, "Sit wherever you like; the AC is on, it won't be hot in a while."

Yu Chuhui looked at Chen Cheng's somewhat serious expression and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Brother Cheng, is there something you need me for?"

Chen Cheng curled his lips into a smile, "Can't I come see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Yu Chuhui shook her head immediately, "I didn't mean that."

"Here, this is for you," Chen Cheng tossed the document envelope in his hand to Yu Chuhui.

"What is this?" Yu Chuhui was stunned.

"Just take a look and you'll know."

With a nervous heart, Yu Chuhui reached out and opened the document envelope.

She took out the contents, and what met her eyes was a red booklet with the national emblem on it.

On the cover were the six large characters: "Real Estate Ownership Certificate."

Yu Chuhui swallowed hard; how could she not understand that this was the property deed for the very apartment she was sitting in?

"Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"

Chen Cheng sat on the single sofa to the side, "Although it was you who initiated us sleeping together."

In a flash, Yu Chuhui's fair little face turned beet red.

Chen Cheng continued, "But I was the one who ultimately took advantage."

"I've never really given you anything. Now that Gigi, Zhen Zhen, and Lucy have all moved out."

"You're the only one left living in a rented apartment with He Minhong, being tormented by that giant baby every day; that's not right."

"It just so happens this apartment is empty, you should move in here."

"You can also bring your mother over to live here."

"On Monday, a lawyer will contact you to handle the transfer of the property title."

Yu Chuhui couldn't stop her mouth from curling up into a grin, "Are you really giving it to me?"

Chen Cheng chuckled, "You don't want it?"

Yu Chuhui, just like him, was a miser.

How could she possibly refuse something delivered right to her doorstep?

Even if it was a sugar-coated bullet.

She was the type who would eat the sugar and fire the bullet back.

"Mmm~" Yu Chuhui hurriedly hugged the property deed tight and shook her head.

"I want it!!"

"Only a fool wouldn't want it."

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly, and he smiled faintly, "That's better."

"Keep it safe, remember to take time off on Monday. I'm leaving."

Saying this, Chen Cheng stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait a second, Brother Cheng," Yu Chuhui rushed over and grabbed Chen Cheng's hand.

Chen Cheng turned his head to look at her, "What is it?"

Yu Chuhui's expression was solemn, and after a two-second pause, she slowly asked: "Brother Cheng, can we still be friends in the future?"

Yu Chuhui was incredibly sharp; Chen Cheng hadn't looked for her in so long. With him suddenly gifting her an apartment, how could she not understand what Chen Cheng meant?

Chen Cheng frowned and pondered for two seconds, "It's better not to. Let it pass."

"If you encounter any insurmountable hurdles in the future, come find me."

The moment his words finished, Yu Chuhui seemed to lose all her strength and slumped onto the carpet.

Chen Cheng watched her devastated appearance, took a breath, and walked away.

Scum Cheng hadn't been firm before, but now he had made up his mind.

Since there were no feelings and no sexual impulse.

Then why continue in this ambiguous way?

It's better to let her go, and let himself go too.

It's better than always leaving her "widowed" in the 'cold palace'.

No love, no love, just let each other go.

Love, one is a noun, one is a verb.

With Yu Chuhui, it was only three or four times in total.

With Ode to Joy at over 70,000 to nearly 80,000 per square meter, the total price was over 10 million; he hadn't treated her unfairly.

With this apartment, given Yu Chuhui's current income level and her miserly nature.

She basically won't have any life pressure in the future.

Scum Cheng himself won't have any psychological burden either.

This is good for everyone.

Hearing the click from the door, a line of clear tears slowly slid down Yu Chuhui's face.

Although she had long expected that this day would come, now that it really happened.

Yu Chuhui still felt a bit empty inside.

She cried for a while, wiped away her tears, and sat back up on the sofa.

Looking at the red booklet on the sofa, her eyes darted, and she picked up her phone to search for something.

[How much is Ode to Joy per square meter?]
