Chapter 270: Chapter 193: New Heights for the Fund Pool
“Woke up? I thought you would sleep a bit longer.”
As Xiao ier saw Chen Cheng sitting in the front yard, she smiled, stood up, and said, “I’ll go and serve you a bowl of porridge. Would you like an egg too?”
Chen Cheng waved his hand.
He sat on the stone bench, watching Xiao ier heading to the small kitchen, feeling very touched.
Soon, Xiao ier ca out with a bowl of white porridge and a plate of refreshing pickles, placing it in front of Chen Cheng, “Still feeling unwell?”
“How did I get back last night?” Chen Cheng asked hoarsely.
Xiao ier touched his head, “Xiao Hai brought you back. Have so porridge to warm up your stomach.”
“Okay.”
The two sat side by side, with Xiao ier eating and speaking, “Oh, last night Sister Lin called you. You should call her back later.”
“Mhm.”
“Also, any news from Mr. Jin?” Xiao ier put down her chopsticks, turning her head to look at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng: “I’ve asked. He’s still not done with his business dealings, and it’ll be a while before he returns.”
Xiao ier sighed in relief, “It’s good to have so news.”
Chen Cheng drank his porridge, “Did you make this early this morning?”
“Yeah, I thought about how you drank too much last night, and it’s getting into autumn. It’s good to have so porridge in the morning to soothe the stomach.”
Xiao ier smiled softly, “If you still feel unwell later, you can go back to your room and lie down a bit longer, and I’ll make you so honey water.”
“No need,” Chen Cheng, who had been pretending to be drunk, chuckled and said, “Your lovingly made porridge works better than anything.”
“Don’t drink so much in the future, your body can’t handle it.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
Xiao ier: “Stop joking around, eat.”
The simple al marked the start of a new day for Chen Cheng.
“Are you going to the shop later?” Xiao ier asked while cleaning up the dishes.
Chen Cheng brewed himself a cup of tea, setting it on the table, “I have so errands to run later, won’t be going.”
Xiao ier nodded, “It seems you’ve been very busy since you ca back.”
Chen Cheng walked over to Xiao ier, took the dishes from her hands, “I just got back, lots to handle.”
He put the dishes into the sink, turned back to look at Xiao ier, “You’ve been working hard these days, taking care of the shop, and …”
“I’m not blaming you, just worried about your health.”
Xiao ier continued, “Your als are irregular, plus all the socializing. How can your stomach take it?”
Listening to Xiao ier’s slightly reproachful words, a warm current surged in Chen Cheng’s heart.
“That’s why I need to have more of Er’s loving porridge.”
He wrapped his arms around Xiao ier’s waist, both hugging tightly, “Not just nourishing for the stomach, but for the heart too.”
Xiao ier playfully punched Chen Cheng’s chest, “Later, I’ll cook millet porridge for you, millet is really nourishing.”
“Sure, whatever you say.”
Xiao ier glanced at her Daytona watch, “Then I’ll head to the shop, just leave the dishes here.”
Chen Cheng let go, “It’s okay, I can wash them.”
“Should I leave then?”
Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, “Go ahead, be careful on the road.”
“Mhm!”
Chen Cheng washed the dishes, feeling that only the tis spent with Xiao ier carried such a sense of stability and reality.
“This is life, I guess!” he sighed.
After putting away the dishes, Chen Cheng returned to the front yard, sat on the stone bench, and took out his phone.
He didn’t call Wen Shulin imdiately, instead, he opened various social dia platforms to see the outcos.
His guess was correct.
CGG had issued an announcent overnight and already contacted the police, turning the scandal into a personal criminal case.
Moreover, the swift change in public sentint was astonishing.
The netizens who criticized CGG the day before were now the paragons of justice, denouncing Zhang Puhua’s shaful actions.
Watching the comnts online, Chen Cheng’s mouth curled up.
He then sent a ssage to Wen Shulin, just three words, “Congratulations.”
Putting down the phone, Chen Cheng took a deep breath.
He stretched, “At least there’s a result now.”
“Mr. Chen.”
Chen Donghai approached then, Chen Cheng looked at him, “Didn’t you escort Xiao Er?”
“She said you had errands to run, and since you drank last night, you shouldn’t drive today. So, she asked to drive you,” Chen Donghai replied, “She took a cab to the shop.”
Chen Cheng shrugged his shoulders, “Alright, let’s go to the hospital first.”
“Okay.”
Chen Cheng stood up, “Oh right, I haven’t asked you.”
“Ask away.”
“Got a girlfriend yet?”
Chen Donghai paused for a half-second, “No.”
“Have soone you like?”
Chen Donghai still shook his head, “No.”
Chen Cheng patted Chen Donghai’s shoulder, “You don’t always have to think about work; you should also think about your personal life.”
Chen Donghai scratched his head, sowhat embarrassed, “Mr. Chen, I’m not in a rush.”
“Not in a rush? In a few years, the good girls will all be taken.” Chen Cheng joked half-seriously, “Hasn’t your family been urging you?”
“They have.”
“See? When you find soone suitable, go on a date. Be proactive. If you need money, just tell .”
Chen Donghai: “Mr. Chen, you’ve already given a lot.”
Chen Cheng smiled lightly, “Judging from your performance last night, I think it’s not enough.”
“That’s what I’m supposed to do.”
“Hahaha. Let’s go.”
The two drove to the hospital.
Chen Cheng went there intending to tell Jin Baogen right away that the matters were settled.
But when he arrived in front of the ICU ward, he found that Jin Baogen was already on ECMO.
Seeing the regular rise and fall of the ventilator and the various tubes connected to Jin Baogen’s body, Chen Cheng knew this was Jin Baogen’s last chance.
He turned and walked to the doctor’s office, upon eting Doctor Chu from last ti, he asked with great concern, “Doctor Chu, I wanted to ask about Jin Baogen’s condition.”
“You ca just in ti,”
Doctor Chu rembered Chen Cheng, invited him to sit down, and while speaking, “We’ve started ECMO, opened the airway for gas exchange, allowing his heart and lungs to rest temporarily.”
