While Gu Jia was still riding the high of her excitement, Chen Cheng lay semi-reclined, thinking about the plotlines surrounding the three women: Wang Manni, Gu Jia, and Zhong Xiaoqin.

Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin—one already a mother, the other a young married woman—could be considered settled.

As for Wang Manni...

Given the current situation this year, Wang Manni probably wouldn't be able to go on her European cruise.

So, she wouldn't have the chance to meet Liang Haiwang, right?

[Looking back at the plot, I realized there are many bugs regarding the timeline and seasons in the show. At the beginning, Xu Ziyan starts kindergarten, but soon after, it's Zhong Xiaoqin's birthday in July, then Gu Jia's birthday, and finally Wang Manni goes back to her hometown for her birthday. Based on this timeline, the show should have started in May or June, but what kind of kindergarten opens in June? I changed it to a mid-term enrollment.]

[If there are bugs in the timeline, then the actors' outfits are full of bugs too. Regardless of whether the timeline is June or July, Gu Jia wearing a sweater at home and a trench coat when going out is quite absurd.]

Back to the main topic.

As he thought about it, Scum Cheng had a new idea.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Wang Manni.

[Help me send some seasonal menswear to Junyue Mansion, Building A, Room 1301.]

Without waiting for Wang Manni's reply, he continued looking at the report for Company Name.

Before long, Ming Zhen walked over from the bedroom, wearing a white sleeveless top and a denim skirt.

Walking up to Chen Cheng, her fair face still flushed with a hint of redness, she asked softly, looking shy, "Master, would you like to eat anything for lunch?"

Chen Cheng looked up at her, didn't answer her question, but raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Are you addicted to calling me that now?"

Ming Zhen's fair face instantly turned bright red. Looking completely shy, she replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Isn't this what Master taught me well?"

Chen Cheng chuckled and shook his head. "When there are outsiders around, just call me Mr. Chen; when there are no outsiders, you can call me whatever you want."

Ming Zhen bit her lip lightly and nodded obediently. "Okay, Master."

Listening to her call him "Master" over and over again, the smile on Chen Cheng's face grew brighter.

Last night, that little devil Xing Lu actually secretly brought silicone lubricant.

She had betrayed her good friend's secret garden just like that.

It's just that she didn't escape unscathed herself.

As it happens, she's still lying down recovering now.

On the contrary, Ming Zhen, who had her period, was the one who got up first.

The side effect was that Ming Zhen became even more obedient and well-behaved.

Ming Zhen blinked. "Then is there anything you'd like to eat? I bought some steaks and vegetables on a food delivery app."

Chen Cheng waved his hand. "Steak will do."

"Okay, Master."

Ming Zhen nodded obediently and turned to go to the kitchen.

She was a girl from an ordinary family, and she was proficient in all kinds of kitchen work.

Before becoming a private flight attendant, she had received training in Western-style light meals to meet the needs of her clients.

Chen Cheng watched Ming Zhen's swaying hips...

He chuckled.

He shook his head and turned back to continue reading the documents.

For Company Name, the preliminary audit figures were similar to what the accounting firm had estimated previously.

Basically, it could be determined that there was very little fluff in Company Name's financial data now.

It could enter the substantive delivery stage.

It's just that he might still need to inject about 700 million, which is about 100 million dollars, to alleviate Company Name's liquidity crunch and deal with potential SEC penalty issues.

Meng Yanchen had already proposed a solution in the report.

One option was for Company Name and Meng Yanchen's Yanshan Investment to inject capital according to their shareholding ratios.

Otherwise, they could take out a bank loan.

Chen Cheng didn't want to increase Company Name's debt scale, so he chose the capital injection plan.

After chatting on the phone with Meng Yanchen, who was in Beijing, he instructed the finance and legal departments in Hong Kong Island to coordinate with Meng Yanchen.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng started worrying about another matter.

Currently, Meng Yanchen didn't know about his relationship with Xu Qin, so he could work diligently for him.

But if he found out later...

Given Meng Yanchen's bitter and brooding personality, that would probably lead to a chaotic scene.

"It seems Jiang Han really needs to be kept around." Chen Cheng chuckled.

This guy was capable of backstabbing his father-in-law. Once the Zhencheng System truly took over Company Name, it would be time to discard him.

It seemed now that he still had to keep him around to keep Meng Yanchen in check in the future.

As Chen Cheng thought about this, he thought of another person at Company Name.

Qiao Xichen!

With that thought, a smile hung on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth, and he shrugged. "Too bad, Qiaoqiao is still too green right now."

At noon, Chen Cheng ate the sirloin steak pan-fried by Ming Zhen.

I have to say, it tasted pretty good, and Chen Cheng even had some red wine.

In the afternoon, Chen Cheng was taking a nap on a lounge chair.

Ming Zhen walked over and patted his shoulder gently.

Seeing Chen Cheng slowly open his eyes, she said softly, "A Miss Wang is here, saying she's a salesperson from Misia downstairs."

Chen Cheng frowned slightly. "Let her in."

Ming Zhen nodded and went to the door.

Wang Manni, who was standing at the door supporting a portable clothing rack, looked full of confusion.

Wasn't his girlfriend Miss Jiang?

Who was this beautiful woman with a slender figure and exquisite features?

Ming Zhen walked back at this moment and pointed to the shoe-changing bench at the door. "Miss Wang, please change your shoes and come in."

Wang Manni finally snapped out of it, smiled awkwardly, and turned to take off the high heels she was wearing.

After she finished changing her shoes, Ming Zhen saw her taking the men's formal wear in dust covers off the rack and reached out to help.

"Give me some."

"Oh~ thank you." Wang Manni's eyes lit up, but she was unsure of the other person's identity and seemed very reserved.

The two walked into the living room. Ming Zhen took a look and placed the clothes hanging on the hangers onto the sofa.

Turning back, she smiled and said to Wang Manni, "Just put them on the sofa."

Walking up to Chen Cheng, she said, "Sir, Miss Wang is here."

Hearing the voice, Chen Cheng turned back, a smile appearing on his face. "Nini is here."

Wang Manni put down the items and met Chen Cheng's gaze, smiling brightly. "Hey~ Good afternoon, Mr. Chen."

Chen Cheng smiled faintly and waved his hand at Ming Zhen. "You two go back."

After Ming Zhen glanced at Wang Manni, she turned back and smiled and nodded at Chen Cheng.

Only then did Wang Manni see Xing Lu cutting fruit in the kitchen.

Her eyes widened even more.

She hadn't expected there to be another woman in the room with features as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

Chen Cheng's mouth curled slightly, not disturbing her inquisitive gaze.

After Ming Zhen and Xing Lu finished tidying up and walked to the entryway, their backs disappearing from view.

Wang Manni finally came to her senses. From shock and confusion, she turned to surprise, looking at Chen Cheng somewhat nervously. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I..."

"I didn't mean to."

Chen Cheng waved his hand. "It doesn't matter, they are my assistants."

"You aren't the first person to be curious."

Assistants?

Wang Manni's eyes instantly widened into circles.

Such a beautiful assistant?

If I were a man, I wouldn't be able to bear letting such a beautiful assistant go into the kitchen.
