After hitting the ball again, everyone continued to walk forward.
Yu Tianqiao was walking forward with long, confident strides.
Xu Huanshan followed closely behind. When he saw Yu Tianqiao take advantage of the fact that the people behind were all chatting, pull a golf ball out of his pocket, and drop it on the ground, his eyes widened.
It's just for fun, and he still needs to cheat?
Xu Huanshan was so surprised that he even took off his sunglasses.
Yu Tianqiao noticed Xu Huanshan's gaze, but he didn't panic.
He smiled faintly, fished another small ball out of his pocket, and placed it in Xu Huanshan's hand.
He patted Xu Huanshan on the shoulder and continued walking forward.
Xu Huanshan was stunned for a moment, but he put his sunglasses back on and followed.
"What's the scale of your fireworks company? Have you handled any large events?"
Xu Huanshan blinked and replied:
"The Macau New Year's Eve Fireworks Show."
Yu Tianqiao nodded. "Good."
"In Beijing, there's a new park now that wants to hold a weekend fireworks show every week."
"Can you take this job?"
[Original plot setting: In reality, setting off fireworks in Beijing is completely out of the question.]
Xu Huanshan didn't hesitate. "Yes, we can take it."
Yu Tianqiao said casually, "Alright, get your qualifications ready."
"If there are no issues, this job is yours."
Xu Huanshan was stunned. "President Yu, it's that simple? Just having the fireworks display qualifications is enough?"
Yu Tianqiao looked at him speechlessly. "Why make it so complicated? It's not a big deal."
"..."
Xu Huanshan sat on the golf cart, still feeling a bit dazed as he looked at Yu Tianqiao's back.
He said to Gu Jia in a tone of disbelief, "Wife, that's it? It's settled?"
"It's that simple?"
"Just like that, it's settled."
The smile on Gu Jia's face hadn't faded. She had burned her bridges to buy that bag and squeeze into the circle of socialites, and now it seemed she had succeeded.
"Didn't Mr. Yu say so? He wouldn't go back on his word, would he?"
After saying this, she smiled and comforted Xu Huanshan, "Don't worry, husband, things will only get better for us."
"What will get better?"
Just then, Chen Cheng walked over with Xiao Ye, looking at Gu Jia with a smile.
Gu Jia felt his direct, piercing gaze, and her expression immediately became tense; the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Xu Huanshan looked at Chen Cheng, smiled, and didn't hold back, "We just landed a business deal from President Yu."
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "That's not bad."
Business? I'm afraid it's not as simple as just business. Xu Huanshan's romantic debt is coming.
Xu Huanshan also nodded. "It's a relief, at least."
As he spoke, Xu Huanshan's feet got a bit itchy. "Hey, Old Chen, when are we going to play soccer again?"
"Probably not for a while. I'm flying to Beijing for a business trip tomorrow. Not sure when I'll be back."
"Oh~ is that so..." Xu Huanshan felt a bit regretful.
He thought for a moment, then turned to Gu Jia, "Wife, let's invite Old Chen to dinner to thank him for his help just now."
Xu Huanshan didn't like socializing, but he wasn't stupid. He understood clearly the weight of Chen Cheng introducing him to Ye Jinyan.
Gu Jia acted very calmly, smiling brightly, and nodded quickly. "Okay!"
Xu Huanshan happily turned his head to look at Chen Cheng. "Old Chen, are you free tonight?"
Chen Cheng thought about it; he could interact with the married woman Gu, so there was no reason to refuse. "Sure~"
Gu Jia smiled brightly and began to show off her social skills. "Ms. Ye, are you free tonight?"
"Come join us, I'm actually a fan of yours."
"I've been listening to your song 'Take Me to Find Nightlife' a lot lately."
As she spoke, she even hummed a little, "If you haven't slept yet~ If you and I are still chasing~ If being sober is a crime..."
"It's really good! The lyrics are well-written too!"
Xiao Ye's mouth immediately stretched to her ears. "Thank you~"
She turned to glance at Chen Cheng, her face full of pride: My man wrote it for me.
After chatting for a few sentences, they each went to the changing room to change their clothes.
Chen Cheng took a shower in the golf club and changed back into casual clothes.
Actually, it was just a polo shirt, casual pants, and flat shoes.
This was already the greatest respect Chen Cheng could show for this business activity.
After all, in the summer, he usually wears shorts and short sleeves.
He chatted idly with Xu Huanshan in the lounge area while waiting for Xiao Ye and Gu Jia.
After the two of them came out, the four of them left the club together, talking and laughing.
Just as they were about to get into their cars, Ye Jinyan, who hadn't left yet, walked over.
"Chairman Chen~"
"What's up, President Ye?" Chen Cheng looked at him with a smile.
Ye Jinyan's expression was warm. "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"Chat about economic trends?"
Ye Jinyan coming over to invite Chen Cheng to dinner was also a spur-of-the-moment decision.
After what Old Li said just now, he was really starting to consider the idea of publicly acknowledging this 'illegitimate daughter'.
Chen Cheng shrugged and glanced at Xu the Firecracker and Gu Jia. "Sorry, President Ye, I have plans tonight."
Ye Jinyan followed Chen Cheng's gaze to look at the two, his expression normal. "Then you young people go have fun~"
"I want to say a few words to Xiao Xi."
[Xiao Ye doesn't have a full name in the plot; Shadow previously picked a random one. Following Yan Zu's suggestion, we'll use her real name, using the surname from the plot.]
[Accepted! The previous chapters without cars have also been modified; some I didn't dare to touch, please forgive me.]
Chen Cheng glanced at Xiao Ye and smiled. "Please go ahead, President Ye."
Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia immediately exchanged glances.
Xiao Xi? There's gossip!
They immediately widened their eyes and looked at Xiao Ye and Old Ye.
Xiao Ye's expression wasn't very good; she took a breath. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Ye Jinyan pondered for two seconds, not avoiding Chen Cheng, or Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan.
"Clear your schedule for the weekend; I'll have someone come pick you up then."
Xiao Ye didn't think much about it and agreed directly. "Okay!"
This actually made Chen Cheng pause for a moment.
He rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
A bright smile immediately appeared on Ye Jinyan's face. "Then it's settled."
Xiao Ye's face remained plain, and she responded softly, "Mm~"
Ye Jinyan said goodbye and left, feeling satisfied.
Chen Cheng said goodbye to Xu the Firecracker and Gu Jia, then got into his car with Xiao Ye.
Chen Cheng and Xiao Ye had to go back to Huaihai Road first, and then go to Junyue Mansion.
Gu Jia was going to cook in person.
She was going all out.
Since she couldn't stop Xu Huanshan from associating with Chen Cheng.
Then she would try to accept it.
Anyway, as long as she held her bottom line and let that matter pass completely, it would be fine.
After closing the car door, Xiao Ye stared at Chen Cheng with wide, dazed eyes.
Chen Cheng wore a warm smile on his face. "What's wrong?"
"Mm..." Xiao Ye's tone was a bit hesitant. "Should I have... not agreed to him?"
"I didn't even know what he wanted to do, but I just agreed to him on impulse."
Chen Cheng thought for a moment. "I guess he's figured things out."
Xiao Ye's little head was still a bit dizzy. "Figured what out?"
Chen Cheng smiled and didn't spell it out. "You'll know on the weekend."
Xiao Ye was a sensitive person who could detect other people's emotional changes.
By now, she probably had already guessed some of Ye Jinyan's thoughts.
She was just scared and didn't dare to be certain.
