324: Chapter 324 Visiting the Essence

Chen Cheng smiled, "There's no need to lie to you about this, is there?"

Chen Cheng chose to respect the fate of others.

For a gambler, bankruptcy followed by a shattered state of mind is the best ending.

Jiang Nansun widened her eyes and looked at Chen Cheng suspiciously, "Really?"

Having fulfilled his duty to warn her, Chen Cheng was too lazy to offer further explanations. He waved his hand, "If there's nothing else, go back to sleep. If you don't want to leave, stay and warm the bed."

Jiang Nansun was instantly stunned. She crossed her arms over her chest, "What are you trying to do?"

Chen Cheng took a breath, rolled his eyes at her, and said, "Go, go, go~"

Hearing Chen Cheng shooing her away, Zhu Suosuo, who had been eavesdropping by the window outside the entryway, hurriedly tiptoed and jogged all the way to the courtyard gate. She gently opened the door, stepped out, and then gently closed it again.

She jogged all the way back to Jiang Nansun's house, went inside, rushed upstairs, and headed into the bathroom.

Just now, when she ran from the dining room into the courtyard, the cold wind blew, and she caught that scent.

She had to quickly clean away that fishy smell before Nansun returned; it would be bad if it were detected.

"With no chest and no butt, I don't know what she's covering up."

While pushing Jiang Nansun toward the entryway, Chen Cheng muttered this sarcastic remark from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Nansun turned her head in shock, her face flushed red, and she shouted angrily, "Chen Cheng!"

( ⊙ o ⊙ ) ...

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Cheng's face. How did he accidentally let the truth slip out?

Since she had already heard it, Chen Cheng had to bite the bullet and say, "Why are you looking at me? Did I lie?"

"You!"

Jiang Nansun was so angry her face puffed up round. She glared at Chen Cheng, stomped on his foot, and then turned and left.

This guy Chen Cheng didn't react at all, just smilingly watched Jiang Nansun's retreating figure.

It wasn't because he had thick skin, but because Jiang Nansun had been in such a rush to come over that she was only wearing slippers.

Walking to the middle of the courtyard, Jiang Nansun suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted at Chen Cheng:

"Tell me your courtyard password. Standing at the door waiting for so long is freezing."

Huh?

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Chen Cheng's face, and then the corners of his mouth curled up, "852456~"

Hearing the password, Jiang Nansun turned and left, clearly still angry.

As for why Chen Cheng gave her the password so readily?

Because the fact that Jiang Nansun asked him for the courtyard password itself meant that Jiang Nansun had already accepted him.

She had even accepted that she was wavering a bit herself.

The courtyard password, while seemingly just a code, was actually a lock on her heart.

Once the courtyard is opened, the next step is the door.

Watching her figure disappear, Chen Cheng chuckled and turned back into the house.

He went upstairs to clean up the battlefield that had been thoroughly ravaged.

The attic was a bit better.

The beds in the two bedrooms on the second floor were still wet.

Don't misunderstand; it just dries slowly in autumn and winter.

Chen Cheng threw all the bedding sets and mattresses from the three bedrooms into the washing machine, then let out a heavy sigh.

"Looks like it's time to find a full-time housekeeper."

His various properties had fixed hourly cleaners visiting every week.

However, cleaning up a "battlefield" like this was not suitable for hourly cleaners.

Chen Cheng sent a message to Li Na, asking her to arrange it.

Exhausted from stripping the duvet covers, Official Chen simply chose to leave.

Making him remake the beds in three rooms was no different from killing him.

Chen Cheng himself didn't realize that after spending more energy on chasing women, he had started to become lazy about other things.

Since he was close to Xiao Ye's house, Chen Cheng sent Xiao Ye a message.

He had the Bodyguard from the Shadow Group drop him off at the entrance of Xiao Ye's alley, then walked in himself.

Scum Cheng experienced what it meant to be passionate like fire, and what it meant to be proficient in every skill.

Naturally, Chen Cheng wouldn't be stingy, and he used his massage master skills on Xiao Ye.

She already had a great body proportion and didn't need any improvement.

Chen Cheng had no choice but to put effort into the key areas, striving to help her go up a cup size.

Xiao Ye told Chen Cheng that a talent agency wanted to sign them.

She wanted to ask for Chen Cheng's opinion, and Chen Cheng told her to sign directly with Starlight and create her own studio.

It just so happened that Starlight had acquired a recording studio, so Xiao Ye could have her own studio in the future.

As for the business side, she could just leave it to Sister Ling. It required no effort from her, and it also tested Sister Ling's capabilities.

Over the next few days, Chen Cheng was in a different place every day, sometimes even one place in the morning, another in the afternoon, and another in the evening.

He didn't find it annoying; he was quite happy about it.

On this day, Chen Cheng brought Li Na, Gao Yue, Lin Dawei, and some founding employees of ZEN to Jingyan Group.

Today was the day for the bidding of ZEN's Data Center.

Originally, there was no need for Chen Cheng to come in person for such a minor matter.

In fact, the previous plan wasn't even to have the bidding at Jingyan, but after Jingyan's construction management team intervened, some changes occurred.

Flowing Golden Years had not triggered any check-in rewards either.

Chen Cheng speculated whether the check-in location might be the gathering place for all the characters in the later stages of Flowing Golden Years — Jingyan Group.

So, he just used the bidding as an excuse to bring people over.

Ye Jinyan led the group's executives to welcome them downstairs in person. After some pleasantries, they led them upstairs.

Ye Jinyan also gave them a tour.

Jingyan's headquarters spanned four floors in total.

All departments of the group headquarters worked here. Besides commercial real estate, Jingyan also had its own malls and property management.

The organizational structure was vast.

After all, there were regional companies everywhere, as well as project companies set up for specific projects.

Speaking of this, one has to mention the cunningness of real estate companies.

One project, one shell company; once one is used, it's deregistered.

Decades after the housing is delivered, if any problems arise, one probably wouldn't even be able to find the entity to file a complaint against.

It's all loopholes.

And the Sales Department where Zhu Suosuo worked was actually a secondary department under the Marketing Management Center, alongside the Planning Department and Brand Department.

It's so disjointed that a secondary department manager like Yang Ke could just go out and start a business and steal Ye Jinyan's business.

On one hand, they use Jiang Pengfei's mouth to establish Ye Jinyan as a visionary figure, and on the other, they let a small manager step on him.

Never mind, I've digressed again. Anyway, this show has many commercial bugs, everything is based on the shadow, I will try my best to rationalize it.

Walking to the Sales Department, Chen Cheng caught sight of Zhu Suosuo in a gray suit at a glance.

Ye Jinyan and Chen Cheng brought a large group of people, with even Yang Ke following behind.

So many people passing by naturally attracted the attention of the office staff.

Most people just took a glance and quickly shrank back, afraid of being caught slacking off by their leaders.

Only Zhu Suosuo stared with wide eyes, looking at Chen Cheng in disbelief.

Chen Cheng waved at her with annoyance. Ye Jinyan, watching his actions, also blinked and asked, "Chairman Chen knows Suo Suo?"

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, "I work part-time at the School of Economics and Management. She and her best friend came to attend my lectures, and she has been staying at her best friend's place recently."

"As it happens, she's my neighbor."

Ye Jinyan immediately thought of the gossip spreading around the company these past few days about the 'new hire who sold two large apartments in less than three days,' and he nodded thoughtfully.
