57: Opportunity that comes along by chance

After the signing was completed, Tang Yifeng walked up enthusiastically and sincerely invited Chen Li and his group to lunch:

"Manager Chen, I have booked a nice restaurant nearby. Please do me the honor of joining; let us play the part of the host."

Chen Li, however, smiled and politely declined: "Manager Tang, you are too kind. How about we just have lunch at the company Cafeteria?"

"This..." Tang Yifeng hesitated slightly, "The Cafeteria is a bit too simple."

"How could it be?"

Chen Li smiled slightly, "I eat at the school Cafeteria every day, so this is a good chance to experience the corporate atmosphere of our 'Fu Bao Ling'."

Chen Li dared not go to a restaurant; going to a restaurant would inevitably involve socializing and drinking, which was time-consuming and exhausting.

He just wanted to lie flat regarding such matters. Besides, he had just received a message from Gu Qingcheng saying that her mother wanted to see him, a request he could not refuse.

Seeing Chen Li's persistence, Tang Yifeng stopped insisting, and the group moved to the employee Cafeteria.

...

In the high-end Hospital ward, sunlight streamed through the window and spilled onto the white bed sheets.

When Chen Li pushed the door open and entered, he happened to see Gu Qingcheng leaning over, whispering and laughing by her mother's ear. Mother Gu's face was glowing with a long-lost ruddy complexion; it seemed her post-operative recovery was going quite well.

"Auntie, you look so well." Chen Li placed the fruit basket on the bedside table.

When Mother Gu saw Chen Li, her eyes lit up immediately, and she struggled to sit up: "Chen Li is here! Sit, sit quickly. This time, it really is all thanks to you; this life of mine..."

"Mom, you're talking about that again." Gu Qingcheng hurriedly interrupted her mother, carefully adjusting the pillow for her.

Chen Li sat down on the chair beside the bed: "Auntie, you are being too polite. The most important thing now is to get your health back."

Mother Gu sighed, her smile tinged with a bit of worry: "I know my own body. Although the surgery was successful, the follow-up anti-rejection treatment is a long-term process and the costs are high. Auntie really doesn't want to burden you young people anymore..."

"Mom," Gu Qingcheng gripped her mother's hand eagerly, "Please don't say that."

Chen Li looked at Gu Qingcheng calmly: "Auntie, you don't need to worry about money. Qingcheng, show Auntie the Bank card balance."

Gu Qingcheng took out her phone, opened the Bank app, and handed it to her mother.

When she saw the balance of over three million displayed on the screen, Mother Gu's eyes widened in surprise: "Th-this is...?"

"This is all the treatment money prepared for Qingcheng."

"We still have plenty of savings. After you are discharged from the Hospital, we plan to buy a new house, and you can live with Qingcheng then."

"Really?" Mother Gu's gaze moved back and forth between Chen Li and her daughter, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes.

Gu Qingcheng nodded vigorously: "Mom, just rest easy and recover. Don't worry about anything else."

"Good, good..."

Mother Gu finally felt relieved, wiped the corners of her eyes, and let her gaze drift between Chen Li and her daughter, finally settling on Chen Li, her eyes filled with endless gratitude and comfort.

Looking at the Young Man before her, the heart that had been hanging in her chest finally settled.

She quietly observed Chen Li—he was not only wealthy and able to spend thousands for her daughter, but what was even more commendable was his thoughtful consideration.

Usually, his tone was calm and his eyes sincere when he spoke; there was not a hint of condescension, only pure concern.

It was a huge blessing for her daughter to find a partner who was both capable and knew how to respect others.

She said with relief: "Then you young people go and get busy. There is a caregiver here, I will be fine."

Walking out of the ward, Gu Qingcheng was still immersed in the shyness brought about by her mother's words just now.

Between the lines, her mother had already treated Chen Li as her son-in-law, which made her both shy and secretly happy.

She stole a glance at Chen Li beside her, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably, and a hint of sweetness welled up in her heart.

"Did you bring your ID card?" Chen Li suddenly looked at Gu Qingcheng and asked.

"I... I did."

Gu Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously touched the documents in her bag. Why would he suddenly ask this? Could it be that he wants to take her to... right now?

Although she had long since committed herself to Chen Li, this sudden invitation still made her heart tighten, and her cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

"Let's go, get in the car."

"Oh, oh..." Gu Qingcheng snapped out of her astonishment and obediently sat in the passenger seat.

Since he proposed it, then she would go; it was only a matter of time anyway.

She quietly clenched the corner of her clothes, trying to calm her racing heart.

Chen Li was in no mood to guess Gu Qingcheng's thoughts at the moment; he was only thinking about taking her to spend money and earn money.

He had just invested 82 million, and for someone who was used to being thrifty, it felt like a piece of flesh had been cut from his heart.

Although this investment was worth it, seeing so many numbers disappear from his account instantly still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

His only thought now was to earn this money back as soon as possible.

That meant spending money on Gu Qingcheng—buying a house, buying a car. With these large expenses, given her current Affection Level, it would definitely bring explosive returns.

This thought swirled in his mind, causing him to miss Gu Qingcheng's nervous behavior.

In his eyes, Gu Qingcheng was not only a girl who needed his care but also the only channel that could help him recover his funds quickly.

Amidst Gu Qingcheng's mixed feelings of nervousness and faint anticipation, the car slowly drove into the grand gate of 'Qiushui Yunlu'.

This was one of the most well-known high-end Residential Complex developments in the city, where lush greenery and well-arranged buildings complemented each other, highlighting a sense of luxury everywhere.

A Residential Complex? Shouldn't they be going to a Hotel? Could it be that he wants to take her straight home?

Like a lost kitten, Gu Qingcheng followed Chen Li, dazed and confused, her mind blank, and could only follow his steps closely.

They walked toward the sales center; this was a newly opened high-end Residential Complex, and the sales office was decorated magnificently.

A sales lady wearing a well-fitted professional suit stepped up quickly to greet them.

She was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, wearing delicate, light makeup, with her long, black hair neatly tied back.

Her face was extremely pretty—clear brows and eyes, a delicate nose, full lips, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes curled slightly; she was very beautiful.

"Good afternoon, sir and miss. How may I help you both?" The sales lady wore a standard smile.

"Show us your best furnished ready-to-move-in apartment." Chen Li was concise.

The sales lady maintained professional politeness: "Sir, before viewing the properties, we need to go through a capital verification process. I wonder if that would be convenient for you?"

"Sure." Chen Li casually handed over a black card.

When the sales lady saw this black card, her pupils dilated slightly.

She had been in the industry for many years, but this was the first time she had seen the legendary black card with her own eyes.

She forced herself to remain calm as she took the card, and after confirming in the inquiry system that it was an unlimited black card issued by China Industrial and Commercial Bank, her attitude immediately became even more respectful.

"Mr. Chen, I am very sorry to have kept you waiting."

She returned the card with both hands and bowed slightly, "Please follow me, both of you. I will take you to visit our top-tier unit types right now."

Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng finally understood that Chen Li was going to buy a house, not what she had imagined.

Thinking of her wild imagination just now, she instantly blushed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

"What's wrong? Your face is so red." Chen Li noticed her abnormality.

"No... nothing."

Gu Qingcheng hurriedly shook her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Brother Li, why did you bring me along to buy a house?"

She hadn't fully recovered from the misunderstanding just now and had clearly lost the ability to think.

"Of course it's to buy it for you, otherwise why would I ask you to bring your ID card?" Chen Li's tone remained calm.

"Buy... buy it for me?"

Gu Qingcheng was completely stunned, "This... this isn't appropriate, is it..." She could understand spending money on medical treatment, but giving a house directly...

Chen Li glanced at her, "Just listen to me, don't think too much."

"Mm..." Gu Qingcheng nodded obediently, her heart pounding constantly; this was the house she and her mother needed most right now.

The sales lady walked in front to lead the way, wearing a professional smile, but her mind was spinning with thoughts.

She quietly observed the two behind her—although the young girl was very beautiful, she exuded a student-like naivety, following the man timidly the whole time, not even daring to say a word.

Compared to that immature little girl, a sister like her, who retained the purity of a young girl while possessing the charm of a mature woman, should be more attractive.

Thinking of the top sales performers in the company who often secured big orders by 'deeply communicating' with clients in private, a sense of restlessness stirred in her heart...

She straightened her back nonchalantly, letting her graceful curves appear faintly under her professional suit.

The opportunity to get on the good side of such a god-tier rich person was a rare opportunity.
