Truth be told, Scum was really worked up by the beauty.
Guan Juer was sleeping next door, so he didn't dare to be too reckless. He scoffed at Fan Shengmei and left.
Scum took a shower but couldn't sleep, so he changed his clothes and went out.
"Manager Zhu, a VIP guest in 3608 wants to see you."
Zhu Zhe, who was on duty in the office, looked up at Xiao Zhang at the door. "3608? Isn't 3608 a vacant room?"
"It was just checked into ten minutes ago."
"Alright, you stay here and keep an eye on things. I'm needed here, so I'll go up and check."
"Okay, Manager Zhu."
She went up to the 36th floor, walked to the door, and seeing it was ajar, Zhu Zhe tidied her appearance and knocked lightly.
"Hello, housekeeping."
Seeing no response, Zhu Zhe knocked again. "Hello, housekeeping."
Seeing there was still no response, Zhu Zhe gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the door.
One hand covered Zhu Zhe's eyes, the other arm wrapped around her, and he kicked the door shut.
Zhu Zhe was stunned with fright. "What are you doing?"
"Help~ sob~"
"You are forcing... wuwuwu~"
After the storm, Zhu Zhe lay in his arms with a flushed face, punching the culprit.
Chen Cheng curled his lips, acting unbothered, and let her hit him. "Who told you to hide from me? I haven't seen my dear Gigi for three days, so I had to resort to this."
"But you couldn't scare me like that. My soul was almost scared out of my body just now."
"Who told you to hide from me? They say a day apart is like three autumns. You calculate how many 'days' you owe me."
Zhu Zhe scoffed at him. "Bah, you rascal. 'A day apart is like three autumns' refers to years, and here you turn it into 'how many days'?"
"Hey, there are 365 days in a year, so three years is 1095 days, right? What's wrong with that?"
Zhu Zhe rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
She had come to the hotel for duty specifically to avoid Ye Zhenzhen and this rascal.
But now that this rascal had come to find her, she felt sweet inside.
Seeing her silent, Chen Cheng smiled slightly. "How was it? Exciting?"
"Huh?" Zhu Zhe was stunned.
Seeing she didn't speak, Scum curled his lips and slid down.
Zhu Zhe forced herself to call Xiao Zhang, telling her that she had handled 3608 and was heading back, and to call her if there was any emergency.
Chen Cheng dragged Zhu Zhe to play wildly all night, and they didn't fall asleep until dawn.
They didn't wake up until the afternoon, ordered food in the room, ate, and then played a game.
That's how couples in love are; they lose track of time and have infinite energy.
Chen Cheng lowered his head and kissed Zhu Zhe, who had fallen back asleep, then changed his clothes and left the hotel.
Zhu Zhe had plans for today, but now she had no strength left, so Chen Cheng had to go for her.
Her brother and sister had left, and she needed to clean up the things from the performance.
On Chen Cheng's side, seeing Zhu Zhe's favorability, he was overjoyed.
It was 95. So far, this was likely the woman with the highest favorability towards him.
Eileen Chang does not deceive me.
Chen Cheng drove to the place, and the landlady girl was already waiting.
Chen Cheng gave the girl a thousand yuan to show his gratitude.
The girl immediately became enthusiastic. Without Chen Cheng having to lift a finger, the girl diligently helped pack up Zhu Zhe's things.
Chen Cheng easily took away all of Zhu Zhe's belongings.
Just as he walked out the door, he saw some unexpected people in the hallway.
Hu Yue and Cheng Jiayuan were walking towards him, waving and greeting someone who was approaching.
Chen Cheng looked closely; the person walking towards Hu Yue with their back to him must be Tao Wuji.
"You shouldn't have brought anything when visiting! This is so embarrassing."
Tao Wuji happily took the things from Hu Yue and Cheng Jiayuan.
"Wuji, it's my first time here, it would be rude to come empty-handed."
Cheng Jiayuan said unhappily, "He's not embarrassed at all, he took it so readily."
Before they reached the door, all three were stunned.
"Mr. Chen," Hu Yue looked at Chen Cheng with some surprise.
This building was a tenement, with a corridor connecting thirty or forty households.
Chen Cheng was standing at the door two units away from Tao Wuji's.
Chen Cheng walked over. "Xiao Hu? Are you here at a friend's house... for dinner?"
Hu Yue glanced at Tao Wuji and nodded gently. "Yeah, it's the weekend, so we came to a friend's place to gather."
Tao Wuji finally waited for a chance to speak, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
"You know me?" Chen Cheng was a bit surprised.
"Yes," Tao Wuji nodded, then looked at Cheng Jiayuan. "Actually, the colleagues at the business hall that day probably all know you."
"Oh, really?" Chen Cheng smiled and reached out to Tao Wuji. "What is your surname, young man?"
Tao Wuji hurriedly moved the two bags in his hand to his left hand and shook Chen Cheng's hand. "Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Tao Wuji, I'm Hu Yue's colleague."
"Wuji," Chen Cheng muttered. "It seems your father is a man of chivalry."
Tao Wuji giggled and nodded. "My father liked reading wuxia novels when he was young, so he gave me this name."
Chen Cheng nodded, then reached out to Cheng Jiayuan, asking Hu Yue, "Is this also your colleague?"
"Yes~"
Cheng Jiayuan glanced at Hu Yue, reluctantly shook hands with Chen Cheng, and stated his name, "Cheng Jiayuan."
Chen Cheng didn't care about his attitude. This kid was at odds with Su Jianren. It seemed he knew he was Su Jianren's junior fellow apprentice, so he didn't look happy.
Since they were all introduced, Chen Cheng prepared to leave. "Then you guys have fun..."
Just then, the sound of a door opening interrupted Chen Cheng.
A good-looking girl walked out and greeted them, "Hello, hello~"
Tao Wuji hurriedly introduced her to the group, "This is my girlfriend, Tian Xiaohui."
"Hu Yue"
"Cheng Jiayuan"
"This is Mr. Chen."
Miao Xiaohui was quite pretty. Her facial features were soft yet had a hint of heroism. She had a heart-shaped face with a delicate jawline. Overall, she looked both girlish and elegant. Her skin was fair and delicate, as smooth as fine porcelain.
Chen Cheng smiled slightly. She didn't know Hu Yue? He remembered that in the original work, they were best friends.
Chen Cheng didn't greet her, just nodded symbolically at Miao Xiaohui.
Chen Cheng was now a battle-hardened warrior, and Miao Xiaohui didn't surprise him.
He turned to Hu Yue to say goodbye. "You guys have fun, I'll go first."
Hu Yue reacted slowly and nodded blankly. "Oh, alright, Mr. Chen, take care."
Tao Wuji glanced at Chen Cheng, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, would you like to eat with us?"
Chen Cheng looked at Miao Xiaohui and Hu Yue, and shook his head. "No, I have an appointment. You guys have fun."
After speaking, he walked past them.
"Goodbye, Mr. Chen..." Tao Wuji and Hu Yue nodded respectfully to say goodbye.
After Chen Cheng passed, Miao Xiaohui withdrew her curious gaze and asked the group, "Who was that?"
Tao Wuji pursed his lips and glanced at Hu Yue. "Nothing, just a bank client."
Banks had confidentiality principles. With Tao Wuji's cautious personality, how could he possibly reveal client information?
Miao Xiaohui glared at Tao Wuji suspiciously. I'm also a bank client of yours, and I've never seen you be so respectful to me.
Miao Xiaohui turned to Hu Yue and said with a smile, "Hu Yue, I've heard Tao Tao talk about you."
"He said that among the three musketeers of the business hall, you are a little heroine."
Chen Cheng heard that line, "I've heard Tao Tao talk about you," and his mouth twitched.
When your girlfriend says to another girl, "I've heard xx mention you..."
Don't doubt it, your girlfriend treats this girl as a love rival.
The key is, Hu Yue really likes Tao Wuji.
Chen Cheng smiled slightly. Their dinner would probably be very interesting.
Unfortunately, he missed the chance to watch the show.
