Chapter 205: Chapter 172 I Am the Most Suitable Candidate_2
And this person, could only be last night’s Chen Cheng.
He opened his eyes, glanced at the two still sound asleep, moved away Tong Jialu’s hand from his chest, and Xia Yubing’s leg from his, and sneakily slid out of the bed.
Standing in the bathroom, he looked in the mirror, “How co it’s not like how it’s written in the novels?”
A bitter smile appeared on Chen Cheng’s face, he quickly washed up, changed clothes, and then took his cellphone and left the room.
He went to the front desk, and not knowing Japanese, asked in English for the location of the restaurant, and the reception, very enthusiastically, led Chen Cheng there.
Just entering the restaurant, Chen Cheng saw Chen Donghai.
He was sitting by the window, eating breakfast.
Chen Cheng also picked so food and walked over.
“You’re up early?” Chen Cheng asked.
As Chen Donghai was about to get up, Chen Cheng signaled him to sit.
“Mr. Chen, this is the money left from last night.” Chen Donghai hurriedly took out the yen given by Xia Yubing and handed it over to Chen Cheng with both hands.
Chen Cheng was cutting the poached egg, without looking up, “Keep it, I don’t know how long till I can return. It’s convenient to have so cash on you.”
Hearing this, Chen Donghai carefully put the money back into his pocket.
“Mr. Chen, about last night… last night that…”
Chen Cheng snapped back, “Right, I haven’t had the chance to ask you yet! How did it feel?”
“Following your instructions, I made sure she was thoroughly impressed.” Chen Donghai replied.
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, “You’re quite sothing!”
Chen Donghai sincerely said, “Mr. Chen, following you, I have truly opened my eyes. Back when I was in Beijing…”
“What was it like in Beijing?” Chen Cheng sipped so milk, interestedly asked.
“Back in Beijing, I wouldn’t dare to think about these things!” Chen Donghai laughed helplessly, “Back then, I was just thinking about how to make more money, unlike now, enjoying good food, good drink, and even experiencing things I never thought possible before…”
His voice trailed off.
Chen Cheng countered, “Weren’t you doing quite well under Mr. Jin?”
Chen Donghai nodded in agreent, “Mr. Jin really treated well, but as you know, back then my identity was inconvenient.”
“True, working under Mr. Jin, there were many things you couldn’t openly handle.”
Chen Cheng nodded understandingly, he knew Chen Donghai was previously in charge of so “special” tasks under Mr. Jin, requiring low-key operations.
Just like being the boss of a club, openly prestigious and known as “Brother Hai”, but also with great risk.
Chen Donghai lowered his voice, “Now following you, I feel a different sensation.”
“What sensation?”
“It feels like freedom.”
Chen Cheng chuckled, “Wow, that’s quite a statent.”
“Really, Mr. Chen!” Chen Donghai earnestly said, “I feel like I’ve changed my life. Before, I couldn’t even imagine I’d have a future like today, now I feel my future is full of hope!”
Chen Cheng with a smile, “Since you put it like that, I promise I won’t let you down. As long as you stay loyal to , everything will be there for you.”
Chen Donghai stood up excitedly, glanced over the table, picked up a bowl of miso soup, and solemnly said, “Mr. Chen, if you tell to go east, I will never go west. If you ask to chase a dog, I will never shoo away a chicken!”
Chen Cheng laughed out loud, he too picked up his coffee, “I didn’t expect you to speak such catchy phrases.”
Chen Donghai earnestly said, “Mr. Chen, this is my heartfelt truth.”
“You see, you’re just too serious.” Chen Cheng tapped his bowl with the cup, “Eat your al.”
Just as he put down his coffee cup, Chen Cheng’s phone rang.
He pulled it out to see, it was a ssage from i Xiang.
i Xiang: Mr. Chen, are you up?
Chen Cheng: Just woke up.
i Xiang: Then I’ll co up to find you in half an hour, is that okay?
Chen Cheng: Sure, I’ll wait for you in the restaurant.
Putting down his phone, Chen Cheng looked out at the morning in Tokyo, pondering: “Finally here.”
Half an hour later, i Xiang arrived on ti at the agreed spot.
Today she looked more lively than yesterday, at least her round face was flushed with blush, but her black kimono was unchanged.
Upon seeing Chen Cheng, i Xiang deeply bowed, with a slightly apologetic tone, “Mr. Chen, good morning, sorry to disturb your al.”
Chen Cheng smiled and stood up, gesturing her to sit, “It’s fine, I just arrived myself. Have you eaten?”
i Xiang shook her head lightly, quietly said: “Not yet, thank you for your concern.”
“Then let’s eat sothing together.”
Chen Cheng snapped his fingers, the waiter ca over with the nu, Chen Cheng took it then passed it to i Xiang, smiling and said: “I don’t speak Japanese.”
i Xiang only ordered a cup of hot tea, waiting for the waiter to leave, she spoke again, “Mr. Chen, I really appreciate you coming.”
“It’s nothing much.” Chen Cheng looked into i Xiang’s eyes and said, “But you, you look quite tired, didn’t rest well last night?”
i Xiang sighed softly, “Thank you for your concern, these days, I’m overwheld. I have to handle my father’s matters on one hand, and deal with company issues on the other.”
Everyone has their own destiny.
i Xiang, Su Liya, and the Liu sisters, they are all roughly the sa age.
But the i Xiang in front of him, her burdens are clearly the heaviest.
“What is the situation with Xingye Products now?” Chen Cheng got straight to the point.
i Xiang’s expression darkened, in a subdued tone, she said: “The situation is not very optimistic. My father’s death was very sudden, many company operations have stalled, now suppliers are demanding paynts, partners are also proposing to terminate contracts, and the bank is also pressing for loan repaynts…”
