Chapter 139: Chapter 137 Are Your Demands Too Excessive?
The next day.
Chen Cheng walked through the threshold of Wanbao Hall with a heavy head.
He sat at the tea table by the door, head in hands.
"Ss~ I did drink a bit too much yesterday," Chen Cheng thought to himself.
"Boss, you’re here?"
Zhao Ling came up to his side with a smile and greeted him.
Chen Cheng nodded slightly.
"Then sit down for a while. Sister Meier has ordered sobering soup and breakfast for you. I’ll go get it for you," she said.
Chen Cheng: "Where is she?"
Zhao Ling replied: "Brother Hai took her to Mr. Jin’s place to deliver breakfast. She should be back by now, I suppose?"
"It’s around this time these past couple of days," she added.
Chen Cheng remembered Xiao Meier had promised to deliver breakfast to Jin Baogen every morning, something he originally thought was just an offhand courteous remark. Yet, she has been keeping her promise faithfully.
But this was also in line with Xiao Meier’s character.
"Alright, I know," Chen Cheng said.
Zhao Ling headed towards the kitchen, "Boss, please wait a moment."
While waiting for his caring breakfast, Chen Cheng opened the panel in his mind.
After the recent bond issue, his capital pool had significantly increased.
[Current Funds: 57,438,315 yuan]
[Current Daily Interest Rate: 5.11%]
[Spending: 38,756/1,000,000]
[Tools: require unlocking with 30,000,000]
Seeing his wealth surpass half of his small target, Chen Cheng was overjoyed.
And with the doubled capital pool, the day he could pay off the final amount for Li Bo’s house was also halved.
"Life is comfy!"
Chen Cheng leaned back comfortably in his chair, now with money, a career, and a woman – his pleasures in life were just beginning.
"Watch out, it’s hot, Boss." Zhao Ling brought over Xiao Meier’s prepared breakfast and placed it in front of Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng stretched and said, "Alright."
As he was eating, he heard familiar footsteps coming from outside.
Xiao Meier walked in and saw Chen Cheng eating, she smiled gently.
She came up behind him and touched his face, "Sober yet?"
The familiar touch gave Chen Cheng a sense of security, he put down his chopsticks and patted Xiao Meier’s buttocks, "Back already?"
"You little rascal!" Xiao Meier huffed, "Only when you’re drunk, are you well-behaved!"
"Am I not well-behaved now?" Chen Cheng turned his head back.
Xiao Meier rolled her eyes at him, "Well-behaved my foot, always so slick with words!"
Chen Cheng chuckled, "Well, I’m in a good mood because I saw you!"
"Eat more, you threw up quite a lot last night." Xiao Meier said with loving eyes, stroking Chen Cheng’s head, "You’re not allowed to drink that much ever again."
Chen Cheng didn’t even remember throwing up, and when he woke up this morning, his surroundings were all clean, apparently cleaned up by Xiao Meier.
"It’s harmful to your health," she added.
"I got it, wife," Chen Cheng replied.
Xiao Meier gave a gentle punch on Chen Cheng’s shoulder, grinning from ear to ear, "Who’s your wife, stop taking advantage of me!"
Chen Cheng grabbed her hand, "Denying it now?" 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Xiao Meier blushed and withdrew her hand, "Hurry up and eat your food. Stop being silly."
While the two were affectionately teasing each other, Zhao Qing appeared at the entrance of Wanbao Hall.
"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen."
She approached swiftly, presenting the shopping bag that looked exactly like the one from last night with both hands, "The Chairman asked me to deliver this."
Xiao Meier had thought that Chen Jin’s words last night were just drunken babble, but a new phone actually arrived at the door.
Chen Cheng’s fragmented memories began to piece together, and he nodded with a smile, "Okay, have you eaten?"
"I have, Mr. Chen." Zhao Qing bowed slightly to take her leave, "I won’t disturb you two any longer."
"Take care!"
Xiao Meier personally saw Zhao Qing out the door, then came back to Chen Cheng’s side and said, "Xiao Cheng, with Lao Chen treating us to meals and giving us gifts, we..."
Chen Cheng unwrapped the package—it was the latest 1TB iPhone.
He handed it to Xiao Meier, "You haven’t changed phones for a while, right? Use this one first."
Xiao Meier’s phone was just over 2000 yuan. Now, with this phone worth more than ten thousand in front of her, she didn’t know whether to use it or not.
After all, it wasn’t a gift from Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng understood her hesitation and smiled, "It’s okay, go ahead and use it."
Xiao Meier pursed her lips, "Alright then, but we’ve got to remember this favor."
Chen Cheng nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it in mind."
"How does this work?" Xiao Meier sat next to Chen Cheng; she, who had never used an iPhone before, didn’t even know how to register an ID.
Chen Cheng smiled, "Come, I’ll teach you."
He took the phone and patiently explained the registration steps and how to use various features to Xiao Meier.
Xiao Meier listened attentively, nodding as if she understood.
After Chen Cheng finished syncing various apps and the contact list, he finally handed the new phone to Xiao Meier.
"Here you go, check it out."
Xiao Meier carefully took it, "It does seem to be much smoother than mine."
"See? We need to learn to accept new things," Chen Cheng said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "The more you try, the more you’ll discover the wonders of the outside world."
Xiao Meier smiled sweetly, "Speaking of which, aren’t you going to switch?"
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "No rush; my phone has a lot of data, it will take quite some time to transfer it all."
"Alright, then I’ll keep it safe for you. You can switch when you have time."
After saying this, she stood up, gripping the midnight purple phone, and walked towards the kitchen.
Chen Cheng watched Xiao Meier’s graceful figure, feeling pleased in his heart.
However, he quickly realized something.
Now that she had a new phone, but only one fancy outfit to her name.
Although Sister Meier was naturally beautiful, she couldn’t always be so plain.
Chen Cheng thought to himself that he needed to get Xiao Meier some new clothes to make her shine even brighter.
"Who to find?" Chen Cheng took out his phone, scrolling through.
Of course, he couldn’t ask Xia Yubing or Tong Jialu to go shopping with Xiao Meier, but there was one person who was the perfect choice.
He tapped on Wen Shulin’s avatar and sent a message.
"Are you free today?"
Wen Shulin: "What’s the matter?"
"Just for some shopping?"
"You’re asking me out?"
Chen Cheng: "I want to buy Sister Meier a few new pieces of clothing, shoes, and maybe some bags."
Wen Shulin: "Chen Cheng, don’t you think you’re asking too much?"
Chen Cheng: "Because you have a good taste! And besides, I don’t really understand these things."
Wen Shulin: "I’m busy."
"Sorry to bother you."
Chen Cheng put down his phone, sighing deeply. Just as he picked up his chopsticks, Wen Shulin’s message popped up again.
"SKP. Don’t regret it."
Chen Cheng’s mouth curved into a smile as he typed a few words rapidly, "Do you think I’m someone who would regret?"
He hit send, then put the phone down again, taking another sip of the hot and sour radish soup specially made by Xiao Meier to sober up.
"That’s spicy!"
He waved his mouth and called out to the kitchen, "Sister Meier!"
Xiao Meier came out in response, "What’s up?"
"Come on, let’s go somewhere."
"Where to?"
Chen Cheng smiled, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her along, "Shopping!"
