Chaotic night

At 7:30 PM, the sky gradually darkened.

Chen Dong ruffled Xia Xuehan's hair. "You rest a bit more. I'll go downstairs and make some noodles."

Chen Dong once again missed takeout. Fortunately, Dong Sheng Takeout had officially launched, and Chen Dong planned to use one of the office buildings from the beach project for the takeout company.

Lin Nan had already developed the mobile and PC software, including testing features like merchant application and delivery maps.

Now, they needed some merchants to join for a partial trial operation.

Chen Dong's experience was extensive, and the software's functions were also very comprehensive.

For example, delivery riders wouldn't always be online. When a delivery rider was free, they just needed to click 'available for work' on their software, and their location information would be sent to the server. When a nearby merchant needed delivery, the order would be pushed to that rider.

When they didn't want to continue delivering, they just needed to click 'end work', and they would be removed from the list of available riders.

The biggest advantage of this method was that it could attract a large number of part-time workers to join the delivery team.

But even so, to prevent delivery riders from committing home invasions or other criminal acts, all riders had to register with their real names and be registered with East Victory Takeout...

The noodles were ready, with minced meat floating on top, and each bowl was topped with an egg.

When Chen Dong brought out the noodles, Xia Xuehan just came downstairs.

"Husband, you're so good." Xia Xuehan could finally openly call him 'husband' now, which greatly pleased him.

"Eat your noodles. You must be starving." Chen Dong pinched her delicate nose.

Chen Dong's cooking was quite good, and both of them were indeed starving, having just expended a lot of energy.

After eating the noodles, Xia Xuehan voluntarily collected the bowls and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen, and washed them clean.

Chen Dong, meanwhile, turned on the TV. There were no good programs, so he could only watch "If You Are The One."

It had to be said, the quality of these female guests was genuinely good; they all looked fair-skinned and beautiful. But Chen Dong knew that many of them were actors.

"Dongzi Ge, you like watching dating shows?" Xia Xuehan looked at Chen Dong curiously, leaning gently into his arms.

"This isn't a dating show; it's clearly an entertainment show."

"You're lying, Dongzi Ge. I see them dating."

"They're playing at dating; it's just a gimmick. You lose if you take it seriously."

"Ah, dating can be played with?"

Xia Xuehan felt speechless about the entertainment industry.

"Dongzi Ge, pinch me." Xia Xuehan suddenly looked up at Chen Dong's profile.

"What's wrong, my Han Han?"

"I feel so unreal, afraid this is just a dream."

Chen Dong reached out his arms and held Xia Xuehan tightly in his embrace.

"You Han Han, this isn't a dream. It's as real as it gets."

"I feel so happy, Dongzi Ge. Do you know, my father passed away when I was in elementary school. Living with my mother, I was bullied and given the cold shoulder everywhere.

At that time, my biggest dream was to grow up quickly and leave those who looked down on me.

Later, I met you, and you were like a bright sun, shining into my life and dispelling all the gloom..."

Perhaps inspired by Liang Jing's courage, tonight Xia Xuehan quietly leaned in Chen Dong's arms, expressing her feelings.

Compared to the harmony on Chen Dong's side, it was not necessarily the same for others.

First, there was Liao Yourong, who was almost driven crazy by her mother, Zhuo Zhen.

After the gym renovation was completed, it was time to purchase various large fitness equipment. To ensure that there were no financial problems, Chen Dong specifically requested Liao Yourong to list the items and brands needed for purchase and submit them to the Group's procurement department, so that the Group could purchase and install them centrally.

But Zhuo Zhen thought this was a lucrative opportunity, a fat job. With so much money in procurement, even a small difference in price could amount to a considerable sum.

From time to time, she would nag Liao Yourong: "My silly daughter, how can such a task be given to others? This is the gym Dongzi gave you. The equipment procurement should be handled by you and me. What kind of sense does it make to give it to outsiders?"

"Mom, this is central procurement by the Group headquarters, to facilitate financial auditing."

"What Group headquarters? Those are all outsiders. We are family."

"When did the boss become family with you? Mom, don't talk nonsense."

"Why aren't we family? If you give him a few children, he'll have to call me Mom..."

Zhuo Zhen continued to express her opinions,

"Daughter, I haven't seen Xiao Chen for several days. When are you going to ask him over for a meal? If you don't see each other often, how can your feelings develop? When will you be able to have children?"

"Mom, don't worry about that. Hurry up and take the cleaners to get the gym clean. It's opening in a couple of days. Don't let the boss come and not even have a place to stand..."

Liao Yourong was also exhausted these past few days. She had to worry about the gym's equipment installation, overall planning, and also recruit coaches and lead people to hand out flyers to attract students.

Fortunately, this was a high-end community, and many urban white-collar workers or wealthy women lived there. After seeing the gym's decor, many beauty-loving women unhesitatingly paid deposits and got cards.

Among them, three middle-aged beauties also booked and processed the Supreme VIP on the fifth floor. This VIP would be provided with one-on-one personal training, and the exclusive training area on the fifth floor was only open to these VIPs and only accepted women.

On the sixth floor, apart from a few rooms used for offices, the other rooms were also for these Supreme VIPs to change clothes and shower. It could be said that the treatment was excellent.

Of course, the membership fee for this VIP was also the highest, 150,000 a year! In an era where the average housing prices in Jinghai were generally over 5,000, spending 13,000 a month on fitness was definitely the mark of a true rich woman.

At the same time, Hu Wei once again received an invitation from Secretary Gu Jianchuan. This time it was not a high-end private club, but a small private room in an ordinary restaurant.

"General Manager Hu, how have you considered yesterday's matter?"

"General Manager Gu, I still think it's inappropriate. I owe everything I have today to Dongzi. If it weren't for his appreciation, I might still be a small employee in some company somewhere. How could I have become the CEO of Dongsheng Real Estate?"

"General Manager Hu, I advise you to cooperate with us. You don't want to be taken away by the police, do you?"

Secretary Gu Jianchuan took out his phone and started playing a recording: last night's recording, but it was clearly edited, only playing parts that were unfavorable to Hu Wei, and some indescribable sounds...

"Hu Wei, if we hand this over to the police and accuse you of rape, how do you think you'll deal with it?"

"Bang!" Hu Wei slammed the table, his eyes wide with anger, his hands trembling. His right hand pointed at Secretary Gu Jianchuan,

"Secretary Gu Jianchuan, you are slandering and defaming me! Yesterday, Zhang Qian was clearly the one who initiated it."

"Hu Wei, don't you know yet? You have no evidence, but I have a recording that can put you to death.

Yes, to be honest, everything yesterday was my setup, but so what?

The situation now is: if you don't cooperate with us, Zhang Qian will sue you. You think about it yourself, but I don't have much time. If you don't give me an answer within half an hour, Zhang Qian will call the police..."
