Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and walked in.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Mind your own business," Zou Yu huffed playfully.

Ming Zhen, however, had already skipped over to greet him.

As soon as Chen Cheng walked in, she saw the Chanel shopping bag in his hand.

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at Zou Yu and handed the items in his hand to Ming Zhen with a chuckle, "You and Eleven, take one each. Pick whichever you like."

After speaking, he handed another shopping bag to Zou Yu, "Here, Sun Xin asked me to buy you a gift, saying it's a reward for your diligence and responsibility at work."

"She even paid for half of this bag."

"Huh?" Zou Yu's eyes immediately widened.

"What does she mean by this?"

Ming Zhen, who was busy picking gifts with Eleven, rolled her eyes and whispered, "Sister Zou Yu, I'm afraid this is her way of declaring..."

"Oh~" Zou Yu immediately understood. She looked at Chen Cheng and scolded him with a smile, "Look at the mess you've made."

"You've got that girl spinning in circles, and now she actually thinks she's the official girlfriend."

Chen Cheng shrugged helplessly and flopped down between Zou Yu and Eleven.

He sighed, "I really am a bad guy."

"That you are," Zou Yu nodded, deeply agreeing.

Chen Cheng smiled and glared at her, "I think your skin is itching again; you're asking for a spanking."

"Hmph~" Zou Yu blushed instantly and retorted coquettishly, "Am I afraid of you?"

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, but he secretly made a mental note to deal with her later.

Seeing that he ignored her, Zou Yu blinked, "You bought so many things for Xiao Qi, but her student dorm is so small. Where is she supposed to put them?"

"Hmm..." Chen Cheng pondered for a moment. He really hadn't considered that issue at the time.

He turned to Ming Zhen, "Help Xiao Qi find a place near her school tomorrow."

"A detached villa, townhouse, or even a small western-style house will do. Just don't make it too old, and no high-rises."

"Don't worry too much about the size or price. Just make sure the facilities are mature and it's convenient for her to get to class."

"Yes, Master. I'll contact an agent tomorrow," Ming Zhen replied obediently, pursing her lips.

Chen Cheng didn't react much to her calling him "Master," but both Zou Yu and Eleven stared at Ming Zhen with wide eyes.

"Master?" Eleven murmured.

Ming Zhen's face turned beet red, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet their scrutinizing gazes.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng burst into laughter.

Zou Yu rolled her eyes at him and scolded him playfully, "Pervert."

After saying that, Zou Yu remembered something else. She took out her phone and handed it to Chen Cheng, "Do you want to see this?"

"What is it?" Chen Cheng frowned slightly and took the phone.

As Chen Cheng looked at it, Zou Yu explained, "Jingjing's rival, Zhou Ziqi's boyfriend, went to visit the set and brought an entire team of chefs to treat the crew."

"Before they even ate dinner that night, photos and videos were already trending on social media, pushed by the other party's marketing accounts."

"Her fans started mocking Jingjing for not even having anyone visit her on set."

"That immediately provoked Jingjing's fans."

"Now, the fans of both sides are arguing fiercely under the posts of various marketing accounts."

Chen Cheng frowned, "This is the result of the other party deliberately guiding and fanning the flames, right?"

"Hmm..." Zou Yu pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say, but they definitely allowed it to happen."

"After all, it generates topics and exposure."

"Who is this boyfriend of Zhou Ziqi's?" Chen Cheng asked.

"A pot-bellied middle-aged wealthy businessman," Zou Yu replied.

Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Make arrangements. I'll go to the Western Regions tomorrow to visit our big star."

Originally, Chen Cheng didn't want to bother with this kind of stan war.

But this is Qiao Jingjing's base, and she must care about it.

"Got it~" Zou Yu replied happily.

After arranging the flight, Zou Yu blinked, "Do we need to prepare anything?"

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Ask Sister Ling how many people are in their crew?"

"Then arrange for some roast duck, and I'll bring it over tomorrow."

"Master, the rival side is bringing chefs, and we're bringing food..." Ming Zhen interjected.

Chen Cheng waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. My presence alone is already a win."

"Uh..." The three women were momentarily speechless, their eyes sweeping over Chen Cheng.

With those looks and that physique, his presence really was a win.

"Alright, it's getting late," Chen Cheng waved his hand and said with a beaming smile, "Ladies, let's go back to our rooms and rest."

"Um... I'll head back then," Eleven's face turned bright red, and she stood up, wanting to run away.

"Hey, Eleven, don't go," Zou Yu said with a mischievous smirk, immediately grabbing her.

After speaking, she instructed Ming Zhen, "Ming Zhen, go run a bath first. I want to have a word with Eleven."

"Okay, Sister Zou Yu," Ming Zhen replied with a smile, glancing at Eleven.

Chen Cheng also smirked, reaching out with his left hand to pull Eleven into his arms, and with his right hand, he pulled Zou Yu into his arms as well.

"Let me hug you. Walking around all day is exhausting."

"Huh?" Zou Yu had been quite happy, but after hearing this, she rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng, "You're always flirting around; you must be so tired."

Chen Cheng was so thick-skinned that he didn't care at all about that level of sarcasm.

While playing with the two soft mounds, he asked, "Hasn't the Blue Coffee side submitted a report yet?"

"Ah~ they did," Zou Yu huffed and continued, "I took a look. The data for the Coconut Latte on the first day was quite good."

"But it's too early to call it a success. And you were so... 'busy!' that I didn't report it specifically."

"The report submitted by General Manager Meng is in the messages I sent you."

Zou Yu emphasized the word "busy" heavily.

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. He wondered what Qiao Xichen would think if she knew that the big boss hadn't even looked at the report she had worked so hard on.

"In a while, once the new product sales stabilize, General Manager Meng will submit another report."

"Alright, that's fine," Chen Cheng nodded indifferently.

Zou Yu blinked and continued, "However, the report mentioned that after the new product launched, the sales of old products also increased significantly, by about 20%."

"The report attributes this to the halo effect of the new product."

Chen Cheng smiled without saying a word. A halo effect wouldn't happen that fast; it was his cheat code that was working.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zou Yu asked, "When are we going back? We've been in Beijing for over half a month now."

"Hmm..." Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Let's go back after visiting Jingjing."
