An hour later, Chen Cheng came down from upstairs.
He walked under the eaves and plopped down onto a lounge chair.
At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen, Andy, Lucy, and Guan Juer were there, each holding a laptop and leaning back on lounge chairs, busily occupied with something.
Zou Yu, Ming Zhen, Xing Lu, and Eleven had laid out mats and were practicing yoga on the lawn.
Ding Jianguo, Xiao Ye, Jiang Nansun, Zhu Suosuo, and Deng Xiaoqi had gone for a walk with the cats and dogs.
Chen Cheng looked at Zou Yu and Xing Lu on the lawn, wearing the same yoga outfits in black and white, and suddenly felt that, damn it, he couldn't even tell which one was which anymore.
"Do they look good?"
Suddenly, a crisp voice reached Chen Cheng's ears.
Chen Cheng didn't even need to turn his head to know it was that jealous Ye Zhenzhen. Without turning back, he said, "They look good."
"Is there any question about that?"
Ye Zhenzhen didn't speak, but she and Lucy both rolled their eyes at him.
Although they were unhappy, those two women, Zou Yu and Ming Zhen, were indeed... well, just a little... pretty.
Pfft, "annoying" would be the right word.
Yeah! Annoying!
Watching the two women, Andy couldn't help but chuckle. She cleared her throat, "Ahem~"
"Accompany me to Beijing on Wednesday."
Chen Cheng naturally didn't turn around. "Alright~"
"Have Zou Yu arrange the itinerary in a while."
"..."
Andy was stunned for a moment; his lack of questions was clearly unexpected.
"Aren't you going to ask why?"
Chen Cheng finally turned his head and smiled at Andy. "Company Name's business doesn't need me, so it must be a private matter."
"Xiao Ming is in the western suburbs, and I am right in front of you."
"That leaves only Wei Guoqiang and He Yunli. Wei Guoqiang has always come to the company to find you before, so he's ruled out too."
"That only leaves your maternal grandfather in reality."
"You want to go to Beijing; has he passed away?"
Andy pursed her lower lip and shook her head in annoyance. "I really hate talking to smart people right now."
Chen Cheng shrugged.
Andy sighed and nodded slightly. "Yes, he died."
"Ah?" The three women were immediately shocked, looking at each other.
"Sister Andy, you..." Guan Juer wanted to offer comfort but didn't know where to start.
Andy smiled and shook her head. "I never met him. Well... or rather, in my memory, this person simply doesn't exist."
"So..." Andy raised the corners of her mouth and arched an eyebrow. "No need to comfort me."
Turning to Chen Cheng, she continued, "A few days ago, Wei Guoqiang came to the company and gave me a painting by He Yunli. He said it was of Daishan."
"He talked about memories of the past, how hard those years were, and how difficult things were."
"I understand what he meant, but I cannot agree with their actions."
"Then came today's matter. Wei Guoqiang came over and said He Yunli had died and that he had left all his assets to me."
"This whole matter was handled by Wei Guoqiang."
"This caused dissatisfaction from Wei Guoqiang's wife, who actually thought I was Wei Guoqiang's mistress."
"She ran to the company to make a scene today and even called some people to back her up."
"Heh~"
As she spoke, Andy laughed, feeling somewhat speechless.
"She called people?" Chen Cheng frowned.
"Yes," Andy nodded. "A second-generation heir surnamed Huo."
"Old Tan sent them packing."
Chen Cheng shook his head with a smile. A second-generation heir? He must be sixty or seventy, right?
At that age, still acting out that whole 'brotherhood' and 'supporting the scene' routine? It really is...
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "So you've decided to accept this inheritance?"
Andy nodded. "Yes."
"I've thought about it seriously a few times. If I don't take it, this inheritance will fall into the hands of Wei Guoqiang and his wife."
"That's not what I want to see."
Chen Cheng's mouth curled up, and he teased, "A rich woman just got richer. Truly enviable."
Ye Zhenzhen, Guan Juer, and Andy rolled their eyes at him. How could he have the nerve to say that?
Chen Cheng was thick-skinned and accepted their eye-rolling with a grin.
Suddenly, Chen Cheng blinked at Guan Juer, thought for a moment, and then turned to look at Andy. "Andy, do you need a secretary?"
"Huh?" Andy was stunned, not knowing what he was going to say.
Chen Cheng rested his head on his hand, looking at her with a smile. "What do you think of Guan Guan?"
Andy was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Xiao Guan is great. Reliable, hardworking, and smart."
"Oh, just tell us what you're trying to do!" Ye Zhenzhen said impatiently.
Everyone knew that Chen Cheng generally didn't interfere with their work.
Coming out with this suddenly today, no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Cheng looked at the women with a smile, leaned in, and whispered to them, "I'm planning to acquire..."
After hearing this, the women all frowned.
"You're taking a really big step," said Ye Zhenzhen. Although she wasn't an expert in capital operations, she had some family background in it.
The step Chen Cheng was about to take could be described as reckless, insatiable, greedy, escalating, and overreaching...
"Hey~" Chen Cheng waved his hand. "It's not like I'm doing it right now."
"It won't start for another two years."
"Right now, I'm just planning ahead, preparing the acquisition team and the post-acquisition management team."
Andy understood Chen Cheng's intention; he wanted her to train Guan Juer.
Andy thought seriously about how to handle this. Once she had cleared her thoughts, she turned to look at Guan Juer. "Xiao Guan, would you like to come to Company Name?"
"Yes, of course I would!" Guan Juer's eyes lit up, and her face was full of smiles.
Just kidding, Andy was her spiritual leader.
Working by her leader's side was exactly what she wanted.
Andy's mouth curled into a smile. "Alright then, I'll talk to the HR department tomorrow."
"As for your side..."
Guan Juer immediately replied, "I'll tell my boss tomorrow."
A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face as he turned and went inside to find some fruit to eat.
A few minutes later, Chen Cheng returned with a plate of fruit and a tablet computer.
"Hmm~" Lucy shook her head. "I'm not eating anything sweet, I'll get fat~"
Chen Cheng looked at Ye Zhenzhen, Guan Juer, and Andy, then sat back in his own seat.
It was late at night, and with high-sugar fruit brought out to eat, not a single one of these people would reach for it.
They were all the type who could control their mouths and exercise their legs.
Chen Cheng was choosing a car while watching the stock trends in America, occasionally looking up at the four beauties practicing yoga in front of him.
On his right, there were four more hardworking beauties accompanying him while looking at their computers.
Honestly, this life... is comfortable~
