Chapter 23: With me or not?

The blanket covering his stomach slid down a little, and Cheng Yu stood up from the chair, the sleepiness on his face still lingering.

"Well, I was just having a private chat with Master Pei." Chen Yiyang said loudly, without any sense of guilt for waking anyone up.

Cheng Yu was woken up and still in a bad mood. He glanced at him calmly and said, "You are a good whisperer. You always go to places where there are people. If you don't know, you might think you are an enemy spy, deliberately passing on information."

"It's not that I forgot, who would go to the club to sleep?" said Chen Yiyang.

Pei Shuchen said with a smile: "Brother Yu has been trained by the old man these days. He has been worrying about increasing the GDP of our capital all day long. What's wrong with sleeping in the club?"

He noticed a strand of hair on Cheng Yu's forehead that was stuck up due to sleep, and raised his hand to help him tidy it up, but Cheng Yu slapped his hand away.

Cheng Yu casually brushed his hair and glared at him coldly: "Nearly 50% of Beijing's GDP is contributed by Shengyi. If you continue to improve, what will you rely on to make a living?"

In Beijing, Shengyi Group is a powerful entity.

Cheng Yu is different from these second-generation rich people. In addition to living a life of luxury, he is also proficient in business matters.

He started his own business while studying in the United States and opened his own C.Y Investment Company, focusing on venture capital.

While others consider investing in mature projects to avoid risks as much as possible, he takes a different approach and invests in student startups that everyone is least optimistic about.

He was right. A Chinese man had thrived on Wall Street in just two years. After graduation, he gradually shifted his focus back to China and soon became a hot commodity in Beijing, even his father was jealous.

Among the projects he invested in the United States, one is still talked about today.

When Cheng Yu first started his business, he invested five million yuan in a robotics project of a senior from the same school.

During this period, he also invested in many small projects with quick returns.

When the robot project was not profitable, he used the extra 30 million he earned this year to make a second round of follow-up investment, throwing all his assets into it, believing that they would all rise and fall together.

Others said he was too reckless. After all, investment is inherently risky, not to mention student projects, which are most likely to fail.

He was under a lot of pressure during that period. Others ridiculed him for being too ambitious as a rich kid who wanted to be a capital when he first started his business. He was simply relying on his family background to spend money for fun. He even became a topic of conversation for many people at dinner parties.

After all, the tens of millions of dollars behind him is not even a drop in the bucket.

He should think that it is okay to try every industry once.

In just one year, Cheng Yu silenced those who had made fun of him.

The robot project he invested in increased its profit more than twenty times in two years, not to mention the continued gains afterwards.

Pei Shuchen and Chen Yiyang said, "See? This is our Brother Yu. In one word, crazy."

Cheng Yu sneered: "Forget it, I don't have a brother as naive as you."

"Let's go out and have a few drinks." Chen Yiyang laughed foolishly and pushed Pei Shuchen out.

Pei Shuchen came out of the small box and greeted Yan Yiqi again.

The capital city has a strong class structure and represents different social circles. Since these people live in this area, they naturally don't need to be polite to others.

Yan Yiqi has a Singaporean family behind him, so he can't be perfunctory for the sake of face.

For a moment, this news spread throughout the box, and everyone knew Yan Yiqi's background.

However, Pei Shuchen still knew what to say and what not to say after hearing the gossip. He did not reveal a single word about the emotional entanglement between the two of them.

Pei Shuchen sat next to Zhou Zhou and spoke frankly, "Sister Zhou Zhou, why didn't you introduce yourself clearly? I thought you were your new friend, and that's why you did this."

"Chen Yiyang knows, so there's no need for me to introduce them one by one." Zhou Zhou smiled calmly.

It's not that she didn't notice their initial attitude, but that's how the status hierarchy is, and there is also the law of the jungle in social interactions.

When they first entered the villa, they didn't know her identity. She was no different from the female companions they brought with them. She was just a topic of conversation among these people.

Zhou Zhou doesn't care about these things because he is born with confidence.

She knew Yan Yiqi, and he didn't care about these things either. He wouldn't get angry because of other people's unintentional offenses.

It would be more effective for her to emphasize the need to save his face by using Chen Yiyang's words.

"Ayu, do you want to smoke?" There was a moment of silence between songs. Zhou Zhou heard a soft voice, like a slightly tipsy person, especially sweet and refreshing.

She glanced sideways, wondering how the person she hadn't seen just now suddenly appeared in the box.

Cheng Yu sat on the love seat, legs crossed leisurely. One hand rested on the armrest as he spoke to Chen Yiyang, who was sitting across from him. His every move exuded a sense of laziness.

Next to him stood a delicate and slender beauty with long straight black hair, red lips and white teeth. A simple nude knitted dress accentuated her figure, a combination of purity and allure, a kind of alluring, hesitant expression.

The beauty leaned over, took a cigarette from the box on the table and handed it to him, then she lighted the lighter to light it for him, half of her body leaning in his arms.

Cheng Yu lowered his head and lit the fire, his other hand resting lightly on her waist.

Yan Yiqi followed her gaze and saw him as well.

His eyes flickered slightly, and with a quiet smile on his face, he whispered in Zhou Zhou's ear, "It seems that this romantic encounter of yours is not easy to get rid of."

Zhou Zhou's eyes wandered around, and he brushed the hair by his ear: "How could it be? I didn't see any woman with him?"

Today's party was specially arranged for the little celebrity. The women present were all brought by other men, and the one next to Cheng Yu was no exception.

She figured it out yesterday that there was no need to worry about winning or losing this game.

She can afford to play and let go, and naturally she can also afford to lose.

So when they met again, she no longer had that resentful temper and did not intend to confront him head-on. She also thought that Cheng Yu would not keep biting her.

Yan Yiqi said meaningfully: "This requires a meeting. You never made friends like this before."

Zhou Zhou turned his head slightly to look at him.

She smiled and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to do it with me when you come to the capital this time?"
