Chapter 384: Chapter 234: Caution is the Parent of Safety
“You don’t believe ?” Ah Fang saw that Chen Cheng remained silent and asked.
Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, “I do.”
“It’s true, you co from the big city. To you, soone like Luo Ziyang probably doesn’t amount to much.”
Ah Fang leaned against the wall in the hallway and said, “But around our county town, he’s quite influential.”
Chen Cheng did not respond, just quietly listened.
Ah Fang fell into thought for a mont, then spoke frankly, “His wife knows about the things he does too. She moved to the city years ago, as long as she receives money on ti every month, she doesn’t ask about anything else.”
In her tone, there was a hint of mockery, “So many young girls, throwing themselves at him, just to get so benefits.”
“What about you?” Chen Cheng asked, “Aside from solving your problem, what do you want from him?”
“Want?”
Ah Fang laughed at herself, “What else could I want from him? His old age? His lack of hygiene?”
“At first, I thought he really liked . But what was the outco? He still treats like a plaything, beckoned when he pleases, dismissed when he pleases.”
As Ah Fang spoke, her eyes began to redden slightly, “I was blind to believe in his nonsense in the first place!”
Chen Cheng didn’t say much. He understood that there were many won like Ah Fang in this society.
“Look, today Mr. Chen ca, and again they made join for drinks.” Ah Fang continued, “To him, I’m just a tool.”
“What do you think?” Chen Cheng asked.
Ah Fang gave a bitter smile, “What else can I think? As a woman with no one to rely on, what else can I do?”
She shook her head, “I can’t really spend my whole life running a clothing store, can I? I also want to find soone to depend on, to live a good life.”
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, “Sister Ah Fang, as for our Mr. Chen, you probably don’t stand a chance. You should look for soone else~”
“Why? Is it because I’m not pretty enough, or my figure isn’t good enough?”
As she spoke, Ah Fang straightened her back and looked straight at Chen Cheng, her impressive bust imdiately becoming prominent.
“It’s not about physical attributes.”
Chen Cheng smiled, “Think about it, Mr. Chen has seen so many won, sotis it’s about fate.”
Ah Fang suddenly realized that this drinking companion was different from the past.
Before coming, she heard from Luo Ziyang that the guest was a big boss from Beijing, involved in a business deal worth over a billion.
She imdiately toned down a bit, “Then tell , what kind of woman can catch Mr. Chen’s eye?”
Chen Cheng pretended to ponder deeply for a few seconds and said, “Hard to say, Mr. Chen has quite high standards!”
“There has to be so criteria, right?” Ah Fang pressed, determined to pry so information from Chen Cheng today.
“Um…”
Chen Cheng feigned contemplation for a mont, “Mr. Chen, well, he prefers those who are cultured, gentle, and virtuous.”
“Like that young lady who led the way today? Nana?”
Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, “Li Na, she isn’t up to Mr. Chen’s standards.”
“Not even such an excellent girl?” Ah Fang had thought that Li Na and Xu Qiu at the table, like herself, were all won of Chen Donghai.
But after hearing “Driver” Chen Cheng say this, she beca uncertain again.
Chen Cheng observed Ah Fang’s reaction and asked, “Eh? Don’t you just want to make so money? Or do you also want to find a long-term al ticket?”
Ah Fang’s intentions were laid bare by Chen Cheng’s words, and she felt a bit unable to save face, but she quickly regained her composure and forced a casual smile,
“Xiao Chen, don’t joke with Sister. Do I look like soone who lacks n?”
Saying this, she poked Chen Cheng’s chest lightly, “Sister just wants to find soone she can talk to, you understand?”
Chen Cheng replied, “I’m not of high enough class, just a little driver, I don’t understand all your intricate ways.”
Ah Fang was amused by Chen Cheng’s self-deprecating remark, and this ti, she took out a cigarette from her bag and lit it up.
“I can tell, you’re not ordinary.”
Ah Fang eyed Chen Cheng up and down as she spoke.
Chen Cheng’s heart skipped a beat at her words, thinking to himself, “Has she noticed sothing?”
Today, apart from wearing Chen Donghai’s suit, Chen Cheng didn’t even wear a watch. The only possible giveaway could be the Lang Danze leather shoes on his feet.
But those shoes bore no logo, it shouldn’t be possible for Ah Fang to recognize them.
“See, I’ve got a keen eye, don’t I?” Ah Fang exhaled a puff of smoke, saying with a smile.
“Sister, you’re kidding again.”
Chen Cheng replied indifferently, “I’m just an ordinary person.”
“Driving for a big boss like Mr. Chen, can you be ordinary?”
Ah Fang countered, “Taking the drivers from our county’s driver pool, for example, they show the utmost respect and servility to their superiors, but once they’re out, don’t they act all high and mighty?”
Chen Cheng then realized he had been overthinking.
“Just driving a car, to make ends et.”
“Married?”
“Not yet,” Chen Cheng replied, “On my salary, even buying a house in Beijing is tough.”
“That’s true,”
Ah Fang nodded, understanding, “Beijing is expensive, stressful, not like our small place, life is slower, less pressure.”
As she spoke, her tone conveyed a hint of envy, “Those of you from the big cities are just different, with broad perspectives and plenty of experience.”
Chen Cheng smiled and said nothing.
“Xiao Chen, you haven’t told how old you are?” Ah Fang asked.
“? I’m probably a few years younger than you.” Chen Cheng intentionally kept it vague.
“Sister is thirty this year.” Ah Fang did not hide her age.
“You can’t tell, Sister Ah Fang. You’ve kept yourself well, anyone would believe you if you said you were twenty-five.” Chen Cheng complinted her half-truthfully.
