Chen's double standards

Who doesn't have a relationship or two when they're young? Chen Dong could accept that Sun Yutong wasn't a virgin, after all, neither was he.

But to be with him, and still have any ambiguity with other men, especially if intimate relations occurred, that was something Chen Dong could not tolerate.

He was a boss, a scumbag, but he would not allow his woman to become a scumbag; he was absolutely unwilling to wear that colored hat.

Hmm, this was Chen Dong's double standard!

He casually transferred 100,000 yuan to her bank card; Chen Dong felt that her exquisite dance moves alone deserved a reward!

"I still have things to do, you can go now." Chen Dong waved his hand directly, dismissing Sun Yutong.

It wasn't that he was heartless; it was that he needed to quickly go see Xia Xuehan, that Han Han. Things had been a bit busy these past few days, and he had neglected that treasure girl for two or three days. If he didn't find her soon, Chen Dong himself would feel a bit guilty.

"Has the beautiful woman next door woken up?"

Watching Sun Yutong's departing back, Chen Dong asked Zheng Waner.

"Boss, Miss Lin woke up at eight o'clock and left the hotel alone after washing up."

"Oh, she didn't come to find me?" Chen Dong frowned. This beautiful woman was a bit impolite, wasn't she? After all, he had helped her back from the bar, and this room cost 20,000 yuan a night.

"Miss Lin asked me about your situation. I told her you were staying next door with a beautiful woman and hoped she wouldn't disturb you.

Miss Lin left after hearing that. She said she would text you to thank you."

Chen Dong took out his phone and looked at the message in his QQ, wondering why the message seemed a little sour.

It wasn't that Lin Yichu wasn't beautiful, nor that her figure wasn't good. It was just that Chen Dong wasn't very familiar with her yet!

Most importantly, Chen Dong didn't really like office romances. Not to mention Lin Yichu, how could Chen Dong not know the feelings of Xu Wanying and Du Meiqing? But the reason he hadn't made a move was because he had reservations.

Once a company grows in scale, people's desire for power and ambition will also constantly expand.

If he had that kind of relationship with a certain woman, and she did things that crossed the line in the company every day, or even arranged for all her relatives to join the company, should he manage it or not?

This was a very difficult problem. As long as they were human, they would have their own selfish motives. Chen Dong couldn't be ruthless towards his own women, and he believed most people would also find it difficult to ignore the requests of their relatives.

He still remembered what was said in a certain TV show: the Hat Minister almost brought his village's stray dogs to the unit to be public dogs!

Although a bit exaggerated, the phenomenon of 'one person rises, all his associates benefit' is simply too common in Dragon Country, or rather, it's everywhere in the human world.

To avoid these troubles, Chen Dong tried his best to restrain himself from getting too intimate with his subordinates.

Unless he couldn't control himself!

Currently, Chen Dong had not yet grown to the point where he could ignore all provocations; he still needed time to develop.

"Alright, I understand. You go do your own thing." Chen Dong ignored Zheng Waner's eager gaze and left dashingly.

First, he went back to the villa for a good shower, washing off all of Sun Yutong's scent. Then he threw all his clothes into the washing machine, changed into comfortable clothes, and checked the time; it was just past eleven.

It was still early, so he could lie down for another half an hour.

Strengthening the Body (and Kidneys)! Chen Dong began to examine the special skill the system had given him; this was a good thing.

It just felt a bit inappropriate, wasn't this encouraging him to be a scumbag?

Originally, Chen Dong was already considered extraordinarily gifted. Now, with the blessing of this special skill, Chen Dong felt his combat power soar, especially his recovery ability which became terrifyingly strong; he no longer needed to drink goji berries.

But out of respect for the human body's structure, Chen Dong still habitually added a handful of goji berries to his water cup....

"Mom, is there enough food at home? Dongzi is coming over for lunch."

Xia Xuehan saw the message from Chen Dong, and little stars of joy sparkled in her clear, beautiful eyes. She quickly urged her mother to prepare the meal.

"Oh, there aren't many fresh vegetables left. You tidy up and close the shop door. I'll hurry and buy some now."

Luo Qiyuan was even more excited than Xia Xuehan; she hadn't seen Chen Dong in a long time.

Since the last time Chen Dong drank at their house, the two of them had no further contact.

She didn't know if Chen Dong was aware of what happened that night, but that scene often appeared in Luo Qiyuan's dreams. Every time she woke from the dream, she felt a sense of emptiness, and her longing for Chen Dong intensified.

But facing her own daughter, she could never bring herself to speak; it was an insurmountable chasm.

However, Luo Qiyuan's demands were not high; as long as she could see Chen Dong often, and he could frequently visit their home, she would be very satisfied.

Xia Xuehan looked at her mother's joyful back, a hint of doubt flashing in her heart. Why was her mother so happy to know Chen Dong was coming for lunch?

She shook her head, perhaps her mother hoped she could have a good life with Chen Dong. It seemed Dongzi had completely won her mother's approval.

As soon as she thought of her sweet love being approved by her closest relative, a few blushes appeared on Xia Xuehan's pretty face, and her peach-blossom eyes were full of tenderness.

However, her annoying relatives had arrived these past few days, otherwise she could have properly compensated her lover.

She simply tidied up the things in the shop, categorized and hung some of the items Luo Qiyuan had made on the shelves, and cleaned the floor. It already looked presentable.

Tomorrow, at 10:30 AM, Luo Qiyuan planned to officially open for business.

The nearby shops were mostly small retailers: convenience stores, colored paper, fabrics, clothes, etc., and the foot traffic was quite good.

Luo Qiyuan was beautiful and kind-hearted, and in the few days she had been there, she quickly became familiar with the neighboring merchants. Hearing that she was opening tomorrow, several of them said they would prepare flower baskets for her.

Even more coincidentally, there were two female merchants of similar age to Luo Qiyuan living nearby in Shuxiang Mingdi: one sold clothes, and the other sold small decorative items. They could chat and take walks together sometimes.

After Luo Qiyuan finished buying groceries and returned home, Chen Dong arrived less than ten minutes later.

"Dongzi, you're here! Come in and sit down quickly. Auntie will cut you a watermelon."

Luo Qiyuan quickly put down what she was doing, washed her hands, and started bustling about.

"Auntie, I'm bothering you again."

"What are you talking about? If you ask me, why don't you move in with us? Auntie can cook for you every day, and homemade food is definitely healthier than what you get outside."

"That's too much trouble." Chen Dong smiled as he changed into slippers,

"I do want to move in, but mainly because there are many things at the company. My work schedule isn't very regular; I don't know when I'll come home every day. If I really moved in, I would definitely disturb you."

Luo Qiyuan was not good with words, but that didn't mean she was foolish. She naturally knew Chen Dong was politely declining her offer and smiled as she placed the watermelon on the coffee table.

Hearing voices outside, Xia Xuehan happily scurried out of her bedroom, her peach-blossom eyes filled with joy as she looked at her beloved.

"Xuehan, you and Dongzi rest here for a bit. I'll go cook."

"Then thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

"It's no trouble at all. Auntie doesn't know how happy she is that you can come for a meal."
