Zheng Qingshu’s face was filled with excitement.
You, Chen Jie, think you’re so capable? Even Ji Afei of Shengshi Company couldn’t do anything to you. Let’s see if Brother Lu can handle you!
“Brother Lu, I’ve delivered your message. I’ll be going now!” Zheng Qingshu smiled and prepared to leave.
“Wait, don’t go!”
Lu Gang suddenly called out.
“What’s wrong, Brother Lu?”
“I’m bored to death being confined at home. You should sleep over tonight and keep me company while we play games.”
“Damn, I’ve had enough of this bland life! Now I can only play some lousy games to pass the time!”
Lu Gang grumbled.
“Heh heh, Brother Lu, how about we call a couple of girls to play duo queue?”
Zheng Qingshu said excitedly.
Lu Gang laughed and scolded, “Call your sister! I can’t mess around right now! If my dad finds out, he’ll punish me again! It’s just games tonight!”
…
That evening, Chen Jie returned and met He Yufei again.
He Yufei, after hearing from Chen Jie that Guo Xiaofeng had an accident, was indeed relieved that Chen Jie had taken action.
In this situation, Shengshi Company’s market value would surely plummet. Then, they could acquire Shengshi Company at a low price.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie’s Shengtian Company was flourishing, with daily orders close to a hundred million.
Therefore, He Yufei suggested to Chen Jie that they open a branch in the provincial capital.
Currently, Shengtian Company’s business was mainly concentrated in Pingcheng.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately agreed.
“How about this, since the company’s business is expanding to the provincial capital, the spiritual liquid produced by my villa in Pingcheng might not be enough. Let’s go buy a villa together tomorrow!” Chen Jie said to He Yufei.
“Find out the well-known residential areas in the provincial capital, and I’ll take a look,” Chen Jie instructed He Yufei.
With Chen Jie’s current financial strength, buying a villa was a piece of cake.
“Okay.”
Shortly after, He Yufei brought up several promising real estate projects.
Chen Jie browsed for a while and chose a development called Qianlong Mountain Villa, which was relatively close by.
“We’ll go take a look here tomorrow,” Chen Jie said, looking at the introduction.
Due to Guo Xiaofeng’s situation, Shengshi Company’s market value would eventually fall to an astonishing level. By then, Sheng Jinsong would surely not be able to hold on and would sell it to Shengtian Company for thirty billion yuan.
He Yufei would definitely have to travel between the provincial capital and Pingcheng.
The next morning, Chen Jie planned to take Li Ziling to school first, and then go with He Yufei to look at houses.
Chen Jie asked He Yufei to wait and then went to Li Ziling’s door.
As he was about to knock, Li Ziling’s door opened first.
As soon as the door opened, dynamic music emanated from inside.
Following that, Li Ziling, with a cold expression, walked out of the room.
Chen Jie’s eyes lit up when he saw her, and then he was incredibly surprised.
Li Ziling was dressed in luxury brands, looking radiant. Her slender legs moved, exuding beauty.
Accompanied by the dynamic music, she looked like a runway model.
But she was several times more beautiful than any model.
Today’s Li Ziling, both in appearance and demeanor, was vastly different from yesterday’s.
Li Ziling shot Chen Jie a glance and said faintly, “Where’s my breakfast?”
Chen Jie was stunned. “Forgot.”
He almost thought Li Ziling was being so arrogant because she knew he was her bodyguard.
“Losing patience already?” Li Ziling didn’t say much more. “Take me to school!”
Chen Jie was surprised.
Normally, Li Ziling would never speak to him in such a tone.
But this suited Chen Jie perfectly, because with a daily budget of one hundred thousand, if Li Ziling didn’t accept it, he wouldn’t know how to spend it.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Jie didn’t say much more and took Li Ziling onto the bus.
Soon, Chen Jie felt fortunate for his decision to take Li Ziling to school first.
Because Li Ziling’s outfit today was truly alluring, the men on the bus looked at her with yearning eyes.
If Chen Jie hadn’t been by her side, some men would surely have been unable to resist approaching her, or even making advances.
Upon reaching the school gates, Chen Jie had no intention of going in.
“Alright, you go in first.”
Chen Jie turned to leave.
“Wait! Where are you going?” Li Ziling was stunned and quickly called out to Chen Jie.
“I have some personal matters to attend to today, so I’m not going to school,” Chen Jie said.
“You’re not going to school, so why are you still with me… Were you specifically sending me?” Li Ziling suddenly realized mid-sentence.
Seeing Chen Jie not deny it, a hint of emotion surfaced in Li Ziling’s heart.
Although he was bothering her, he had never asked anything of her, yet he had done so much for her.
Li Ziling bit her red lip. “Am I really worth you doing this?”
Chen Jie said, “Don’t overthink it, don’t put pressure on yourself.”
“Then, if I wanted to ask you for a gift, would you buy it for me?” Li Ziling suddenly asked.
Chen Jie couldn’t have asked for more and immediately said, “No matter what gift it is, I’ll give it to you!”
“I want a small car,” Li Ziling said.
Chen Jie looked surprised.
Li Ziling was also observing Chen Jie.
She wanted to confirm if Chen Jie was pretending to be a rich second generation in front of her.
If Chen Jie showed any hesitation or a pained expression, she would know his true capabilities and would have to reconsider her next plan.
“Do you have a driver’s license?” Chen Jie asked.
“Yes!”
“Do you have any requirements for the model or price range?” Chen Jie asked again.
“Something expensive, anything will do,” Li Ziling said.
“Then you wait.” Chen Jie turned and left.
Li Ziling was stunned.
She called out, “Why did you agree without even asking? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away with the gift you give me?”
Chen Jie smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, it’s fine even if you run away.”
Chen Jie said this and left.
Li Ziling bit her lips.
“Am I really worth you investing so much? You’re so foolish, I’ve never seen such a fool!”
“Even a hunter doesn’t release an eagle without seeing the prey. You should at least negotiate terms with me! Otherwise, I’ve promised you nothing, and in the end, you’ll lose both people and money!”
“However, if you help me unconditionally, as long as you don’t mind, I’ll accept you unconditionally! If you go back on your word halfway, I won’t be able to repay you!” Li Ziling murmured.
Immediately after, she took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on, shielding her moist eyes.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie quickly met up with He Yufei.
They had He Yufei’s female bodyguard drive them over in an RV.
He Yufei, knowing she was going to look at houses with Chen Jie today, and seeing Chen Jie dressed casually, changed into casual attire herself.
Thus, He Yufei transformed from a noble CEO into the attire of a young woman, exuding sexiness with youthful energy.
From a distance, they looked like a couple.
“Boss, President He, we’re approaching Qianlong Mountain Villa. Our vehicle is quite large, so parking might be difficult,” one of the cold and elegant female bodyguards said to Chen Jie and the other.
