Chapter 53
Today was indeed a big profit. Rong Susu was in the mood for the whole day as if she had won the lottery. She was smiling and friendly to everyone. This good mood lasted until she got off work. Even when she returned home, she felt much more pleasing to the eye when she saw Cheng Huaian at the door.
"You look so happy, what good thing happened to you?" Cheng Huaian asked. He came back early today and had been waiting at the door.
When you are in a good mood, you also have the desire to express yourself, just like Rong Susu now. Besides, she is not someone who can keep things in her heart.
"No, no, I just made a little money." She made a dipping gesture with her fingers, her eyes curved like the crescent moon at the beginning of the month.
So that's it. He was wondering why he was so happy. It turned out to be about making money, not love. Cheng Huaian breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you make money, then treat us. Otherwise, it will be hard to make money next time."
Is there such a saying? Rong Susu had never heard of it before. However, Cheng Huaian was quite good at doing business. She was still a beginner and there were many rules she had never heard of.
As if afraid that Rong Susu wouldn't believe him, Cheng Huaian added, "For example, if a project is successful, we should quickly hold a celebration banquet to boost everyone's morale. This will help them work harder in the future, and naturally it will prosper."
Capitalists, exploiters!
Rong Susu rolled her eyes at him with disdain. To put it bluntly, the celebration banquet was just to continue exploiting the surplus value of employees in the future. She wouldn't do that and would just give everyone red envelopes.
"Look, I just moved in here and I've brought you such good fortune. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
Although Cheng Huaian was locked outside the gate of Rong Susu's house, he did not feel ignored at all. The weather was already quite cold, but he was only wearing a white cashmere sweater without even a coat, and his eyes were full of smiles.
After the last cell phone incident, he was very happy that Rong Susu could look at him.
Haha, I was wondering what Cheng Huaian was doing here in such a roundabout way. It turned out that he was using the excuse of eating for free to get close to him, "You are going bankrupt, and you have to come to my house for dinner."
Cheng Huaian raised his hand, holding a food box, meaning that his trip was not in vain.
Rong Susu didn't want to argue with him, so she waved and let him in. Seeing the cunning look on his face, she also stated the conditions in advance, "Let me make a deal first, after we finish eating, you have to give me 1 million."
"It's whatever you say. It's just a good chance to give you a bonus." Cheng Huaian was absolutely generous to Rong Susu. The last appointment came to an abrupt end, and he had fewer opportunities to get close to Rong Susu. Now if the contract can continue, it would be great. After all, the thing he has the most is money.
Seeing Rong Susu coming back, Aunt Wang started to prepare dinner happily, and then she saw Cheng Huaian behind her, and she was a little dazed.
"Sir, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it for you right away!" She greeted him warmly. Although no one told her in advance, it was obvious that Cheng Huaian came at dinner time to eat.
"Chicken soup with wontons, I think about it every day." Rong Susu laughed sarcastically. The last time Cheng Huaian and Qi Shuo staged such a big drama in front of Fang Yaozhen, it was all because of chicken soup with wontons.
Aunt Wang didn't understand what was going on, so she agreed cheerfully and immediately went back to the kitchen to make it.
Rong Susu left the other person behind and went upstairs by herself, changed clothes, removed her makeup, and put on a facial mask. It was almost six o'clock, and she thought that everyone should be here by now, so she came downstairs slowly.
The living room was quiet, with no sign that anyone had been there.
"Cheng Huaian!" She called out but received no response. Instead, Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen, looked around, and was even more confused than she was. "Where has the gentleman gone? Did he get bored and go back to his own home?"
Rong Susu didn't believe it. She followed him into the house with great effort. She was afraid that he couldn't be driven away even if she tried. After thinking about it, she seemed to know where Cheng Huaian was.
In the audio-visual room on the first basement floor, a man sat on the floor leaning against a sofa, staring intently at the big screen. His slender fingers flexibly operated the control handle. Without turning on the lights, the screen flickered, and the light and shadow made his already three-dimensional and handsome facial features even more prominent.
Although he was working on mobile games, Rong Susu insisted on setting up an e-sports room at home. Cheng Huaian's idea was really not understood by Rong Susu. According to him, the two companies were originally in a competitive relationship, and he had to know the other party's weaknesses and strengths in order to improve his own work.
It hasn't been that long since they were divorced, but why does this scene feel like it happened a lifetime ago?
"It's time to eat." She turned on the light. Suddenly, the light became brighter. Cheng Huaian's eyes were uncomfortable, so he put down the handle and pinched his eyebrows.
"Why don't you turn on the lights?" Rong Susu complained. Playing such a brightly lit game in the dark would hurt the eyes. Sometimes people just don't know how to take care of themselves at all.
After adjusting for a while, Cheng Huaian stood up and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you still kept these things. I thought you threw them away."
Rong Susu......
She had been thinking about throwing it away for a long time, but Rong Haoyu thought it was particularly good after seeing it, and asked her not to throw it away yet, and to move it to his house later so that he could play with it.
But Rong Susu has to take the blame herself. If she exposes Rong Haoyu's stingy behavior, it will be too embarrassing.
When the two returned to the restaurant, someone was already waiting for them at the table.
"Why are you here too?"
"Why are you here?"
Cheng Huaian and Xie Yinhe spoke almost in unison, both feeling incredible at the other's appearance.
"Didn't you say it was a celebration banquet? It would be more lively with more people." Rong Susu proudly sat down in the main seat, with Xie Yinhe on her left and Cheng Huaian on her right. Both were his right-hand men, and she felt like the boss.
If it were someone else having dinner with Cheng Huaian, they would be extremely cautious, but the person sitting opposite him was Xie Yinhe, who had never taken him seriously since childhood. When he arrived at Rong Susu's house and continued to ignore him, he felt like he was the second in command.
"Old Cheng, have you heard that Xiaotai Lane is going to be demolished?" He even changed his address and called him Old Cheng directly.
When Cheng Huaian first heard someone calling him like that, he really took a while to react. After all, in his impression, the name Lao Cheng was exclusive to his father Cheng Xiangze. He didn't expect that he had become Lao Cheng in the mouths of others.
Rong Susu actually didn't tell Xie Yinhe about this. It seemed that she had kept her promise when he asked her to keep it a secret. Cheng Huaian looked at the person next to him with some relief, but saw that the other person was concentrating on eating and didn't notice his gaze at all.
"Where did you hear that?" he asked. He had already proposed an alternative plan for this matter. No matter what the cost, he was determined to keep Xiaotai Lane. There were traces of where he and Rong Susu grew up, and he would never allow it to be erased by anyone.
Xie Yinhe said that people in Xiaotai Lane had been spreading rumors some time ago. Some said that they had moved to the Third Ring Road, while others said that they would still be within the Second Ring Road. In any case, there was no definite news.
Speaking of the relocation of Xiaotaixiang, Rong Susu also became interested. Cheng Huaian had told her about it last time, but she had been busy with various things and had completely forgotten about it. Now she was anxious again and hurriedly urged Cheng Huaian, "Stop asking questions and tell me what you know."
"Xiaotai Lane will not be demolished for the time being. The plan has changed." Cheng Huaian told them that the latest demolition plan should be announced around the next quarter. Anyway, there is no Xiaotai Lane in this area.
Ahhhh!
Xie Yinhe held her head in her hands. Her chance to become a second-generation demolition worker was gone.
"It's good that it's not demolished. We all grew up there. After all, it's our hometown." Rong Susu breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. She smiled and comforted Xie Yinhe.
After dinner, Xie Yinhe was about to go back to the apartment. While putting on her shoes, she looked at Cheng Huaian and asked, "Old Cheng, aren't you leaving? What time is it?" Could it be that he still wanted to stay with Rong Susu?
Someone said calmly that he lived next door and was now a neighbor of Rong Susu. He could go home in no time and there was no need to go home so early.
NB, I admire you Yinhe. There is a saying that goes, if a person has no shame, he will be invincible.
"Rong Susu, do you want to play a game together?" The light bulb finally left, and Cheng Huaian happily suggested that he must deduct the salary of Xie Yinhe. He was really tactless and far worse than Qi Shuo.
If she doesn't play games, she will just be Cheng Huaian's cannon fodder. She doesn't have a tendency to be self-abuse, so she won't make herself unhappy.
"How about we watch a movie?"
He really didn't change his mind and insisted on staying until the early morning. Rong Susu was speechless and asked, "How about you pay the money first?"
A minute later, not only did she receive the money, but Aunt Wang also received a big red envelope. She came over with a smile and thanked him, "Sir, you are so generous. I feel embarrassed to accept so much."
"You've worked hard tonight. It's what I deserve." Cheng Huaian replied with a smile. It was a rare smile on his icy face that made people feel like spring breeze. Aunt Wang was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
Tsk, what hard work? He is just using money to bribe the people around him. In the time it takes to have a meal, he has already arranged a natural spy next to him.
He was so shameless. Rong Susu told him in disgust to go back to his home. He had already finished his meal and should stop being an eyesore here.
"By the way, Rong Susu, where has Yan Jiayu been recently?" Cheng Huaian asked before leaving.
Huh? When did he start caring about Yan Jiayu's whereabouts? Didn't he threaten to not let anyone come to Licheng?
"Why are you asking this?" Rong Susu did not answer immediately. She was not sure about Cheng Huaian's unpredictable thoughts. Maybe he had ulterior motives.
"It's just a business matter. I thought you'd know, but it turns out you don't."
It was that annoying tone again. Sometimes Rong Susu felt that Cheng Huaian was definitely a green tea girl, and she was very skilled at sowing discord for him.
"He's on a business trip to Yicheng. Do you have anything else to say?"
"He told you that he went to Yicheng?" Cheng Huaian raised the corners of his lips, and it can be seen that this was a genuine joy. Yan Jiayu lied, which played into his hands. After all, the most feared thing during the ambiguous period is secrets.
"What do you mean?!" Rong Susu was a little angry. She shouldn't have let this man stay out of kindness. She should have asked him to leave immediately after taking the money.
"As far as I know, he didn't go to Yicheng." Cheng Huaian said before leaving.
His eyes had a special kind of bewitching feeling, as if he could instantly grasp the other person's inner thoughts and make people fall into the net he had woven long ago.
He knew the correct answer, but there was no need to say it.
Only when the seeds of doubt are planted and take root and sprout, will they have the chance to grow into towering trees, which will be much more destructive than if he had exposed them on the spot.
Junior Yan, I hope you like this gift.
