The group found a restaurant, ordered several dishes, and during the meal, Fatty Ding kept fussing over Lanmei, piling food on her plate and asking after her well-being.

"Girl, eat, eat more, you're so thin."

Lan Mei was also very considerate of Fatty Ding, serving him food and toasting him with drinks. She was very steady in her actions, and most importantly, she spoke softly and gently, making it impossible to tell that she was a hostess.

After dinner, Fatty Ding took another 10,000 yuan in cash from Shen Fang and then slipped away with Lan Mei. Every man knows that if they're going to do something serious, they're going to do it.

Little Ma looked at Fatty Ding, who was slipping away, and said with disdain.

"Damn it, he was all high and mighty just now, and now he's taking a girl to a hotel room!!!"

Shen Kun was speechless: "Seriously, do you really need to spend 200,000 yuan on a girl like this? Has Fatty Ding lost his mind? Lanlan took me to a club in Beijing, and I only spent a little over 10,000 yuan for 10 girls in one night."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Alright, let Fatty Ding spend his money however he wants. Xiao Kun, all the expenses for today—food, drinks, and tips—are on Fatty Ding's tab."

Little Ma grinned mischievously and gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're really naughty."

Shen Fang grinned wickedly: "That fatso is generous, he won't be stingy with a few coins."

The group returned to the hotel.

The next day

Shen Fang and his group met up with Fatty Ding and had breakfast together.

"Fatty, where's your Lan-mei?"

Fatty Ding smiled and said, "She's packing her bags. She'll be with me from now on."

Shen Fang frowned: "Are you serious, Fatty Ding? You want to be with a woman like that?"

"Yeah, Lao Ding, you're a boss, you can play around with this for a bit, but what kind of business is it to bring him home?"

Fatty Ding waved his hand and looked at Chen Fang and the others with a wicked grin.

"Do you really think I'm a great philanthropist? That 200,000 yuan was the money I used to support her. Lanmei is a nice person, I like her quite a bit. It would be good if she could cook for me and sleep with me as my mistress. This money was well spent."

Shen Fang looked at Fatty Ding speechlessly: "You paid 200,000 yuan for a full-time nanny?"

Fatty Ding gave a thumbs up: "President Shen is really smart. A full-time nanny can earn several thousand a month, plus she stays at the hospital. 200,000 yuan a year is basically enough to break even. She can also cook and clean for me. How great is that?"

Little Ma looked at Fatty Ding speechlessly.

"I knew you were up to no good. Yesterday you acted like some kind of saint, damn it."

Shen Fang couldn't help but applaud Ding Pangzi.

While clapping, he shook his head and said, "Fatty Ding, you really know how to calculate. Now that NetEase is in your hands, if it can't stand up anymore, it'll definitely be because you embezzled the money. If things go wrong, I'll definitely come after you."

Fatty Ding took a bite of seafood noodles.

"Mr. Shen, NetEase's biggest problem right now is profitability. I'm confident that once Xu Bo's project goes public, we can turn a profit. The most important thing now is how to get the stock price back on track after NetEase resumes trading."

"You can leave this to me. Just keep an eye on things. Alright, we've finished eating. Let's all go home and find our own mothers. Mr. Ding, call me if you need anything."

Shen Fang, Xiao Ma Ge, and others arrived at Hangzhou Airport. Around noon, Shen Fang returned to Beijing once again. Not long after arriving home, he received a call from Chen Huilin.

"Honey, we'll arrive at Beijing Airport at 7 pm. Remember to pick us up!"

"Okay, I'll be there to pick you up on time."

The call ended.

"Xiao Kun, order me 99 red roses and 99 white roses."

Shen Kun gave an OK sign.

Shen Lanlan, who was lying to the side eating fruit, came over.

"Uncle, who are you sending all these flowers to?"

Shen Fang rolled his eyes at Shen Lanlan.

"None of your business. Go clean the house quickly, we have guests tonight."

Shen Lanlan pouted, "I've already cleaned it all."

"Clean again. Look how dirty this sofa is. Go change all my sheets and blankets, and change the ones in the room next to mine too."

"Why? You just changed the sheets not long ago."

"Just change it when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense? Do you still want the car?"

Shen Lanlan's little bun bobbed with anger. At home, she was a princess, but after coming to Beijing, she'd become a nanny!

Shen Lanlan slammed the watermelon she was holding onto the table.

"I quit!!!!!!!!"

Shen Kun quickly coaxed, "Lanlan, don't be angry."

Shen Lanlan burst into tears, "You're bullying me! You big liar! All you ever do is bully me!!! You promised to buy me a car but you never will, and you make me clean for you every day! You treat me like a maid!!! I'm not doing this anymore!!!! Waaaaaah! I'm going to tell Grandma on you!!!!"

Shen Fang lit a cigarette, stood up, took a set of car keys from the study, and waved them back and forth in front of Shen Lanlan, who was wiping away tears.

Shen Lanlan glanced at the car emblem: Ferrari. She was about to grab it when Shen Fang pulled it back.

“I already bought you the car. Do you think your uncle is the kind of person who goes back on his word? The Ferrari 360 Modena I bought for you cost me over 3.8 million. Your uncle would never lie to you. You were doing pretty well, and you were supposed to finish your task in a couple of days. But you gave me a hard time today. So, I'll add five more days. How does that sound?”

Shen Lanlan flattered him, "I was just venting, Uncle. Don't you know me? I've vented, so don't take it seriously. It's just bed sheets and blankets. I'll change them right away."

Shen Fang looked at Shen Lanlan with a mischievous grin: "I just heard someone say that I bullied someone? Is that true?"

Shen Lanlan quickly shook her head: "No, how could that be? Uncle, how could you do such a thing? You must have misheard."

Did you hear me wrong?

Shen Fang looked at Shen Lanlan with amusement.

Shen Lanlan nodded seriously and said, "You must have misheard. Uncle, who are you? You're an incredibly handsome man, loved by everyone, admired by flowers, and even cars would be afraid to get pregnant when they see you. You have excellent character, a refined temperament, and are a model of men, a king among models. My admiration for you is as strong as a surging river..."

Listening to Shen Lanlan's unprincipled praise of Shen Fang, Shen Kun's lips twitched.

"Why aren't you busy with your work? What are you waiting for?"

Shen Lanlan rolled up her sleeves, put on a headscarf, saluted Shen Fang, and said, "Mission accomplished!!!"

He ran up the stairs with a thud.
