Chapter 415: Chapter 248 A Room_2
Lan Xiangjun really treated the two as a couple now, after all, at this mont, besides the identity of husband and wife, there probably was no other explanation.
So, there was only one room.
Chen Cheng stood at the door, hesitating to swipe the card to enter.
He said, “How about, I go and get another room? Like Baoli, stay across the hall from you.”
ng Wanning, holding her luggage, shook her head, “No.”
Hearing this response, the corners of Chen Cheng’s mouth curved up, then he finally swiped the card and opened the room door.
The two entered the room.
The room’s decor was quite elegant, especially that two-ter-wide bed, which looked very comfortable.
Chen Cheng walked to the window, first opened it to let so air in, then said, “Wan Wan, how about you sleep on the bed tonight, and I can just crash on this sofa.”
ng Wanning still shook her head, without saying a word.
At this mont, she didn’t know what to say. It seed like everything was going to happen, yet everything also felt like it was happening too fast.
“Or how about…” Chen Cheng probed her feelings again, jokingly said, “We’ll be like the ‘Butterfly Lovers’, and place a few glasses of water in the middle of this bed.”
“Don’t worry, I’m definitely not soone who would ss around!”
Listening to Chen Cheng’s earnest promise, ng Wanning no longer knew what to say.
Instinctively, she replied, “Sir, I can’t sing Yue opera.”
Chen Cheng was startled, “My Cantonese isn’t that good either.”
ng Wanning’s face turned even redder.
Seeing this situation, Chen Cheng didn’t say more.
“In the evening, you’ll co to the banquet with .” He changed the subject, again setting his gaze on ng Wanning.
Dressed in casual attire, she clearly did not match the the of the evening.
“Wan Wan, do you have formal wear?”
ng Wanning looked down at her clothes, she also knew who they were going to et tonight.
“No… I rarely wear formal attire.”
Chen Cheng thought for a bit, took out his phone, looked at the surrounding shops on the map, realizing there weren’t any big brands at first glance, then pondered.
“Miss, am I causing you trouble?” Seeing Chen Cheng’s furrowed brows, ng Wanning asked.
She knew tonight’s banquet was important for Chen Cheng, “Or…”
Chen Cheng rubbed his temples, “What are you thinking about? I am just wondering how to make you shine even more at tonight’s banquet.”
He picked up his phone and called Xu Qiu, “Manager Xu, co up for a mont.”
In no ti, Xu Qiu knocked on the room door.
“Mr. Chen, you called for ?”
“Yeah,”
Chen Cheng pointed at ng Wanning, “Wan Ning didn’t bring formal wear, check if there’s anything suitable in your luggage, and lend her a set.”
Xu Qiu looked at ng Wanning’s figure and said with a smile, “There should be sothing suitable, just a mont.”
Xu Qiu returned to her own room and soon ca back with a Chanel dress.
Additionally, she had so jewelry and handbags.
“Miss ng, what do you think of this set? It’s this year’s new model, I haven’t even worn it yet.”
ng Wanning had not worn such a branded outfit before and was a bit hesitant, “This… will it be too formal?”
“Not at all,” Xu Qiu said: “Tonight is a formal occasion, dressing up is more suitable.”
“Moreover, this color really complents your skin tone, it will definitely look beautiful.”
ng Wanning looked at Chen Cheng for his opinion, and Chen Cheng nodded, “Try it on first.”
Only after getting the response did she take the dress and go into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, ng Wanning ca out.
And Chen Cheng’s eyes lit up.
They say clothes make the man. ng Wanning, who was already outstanding, now under the accompanint of this dress, had even more of a fresh and elegant beauty.
Her fair skin, slender waist, and the lace edging of the dress hem added a soft beauty, leaving Chen Cheng and Xu Qiu spellbound.
“Does it… look good?” ng Wanning uncertainly asked.
“Beautiful, truly very beautiful.”
Chen Cheng gave his affirmation, Xu Qiu also echoed from the side: “Miss ng, you are so gorgeous! This dress seems tailor-made for you.”
She hurriedly took out the jewelry, a necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels, “Miss ng, try this on too.”
ng Wanning nodded slightly, put on the necklace, and picked up her handbag.
In just that mont, the sweet girl-next-door transford into an elegant and noble wealthy young lady.
“Very nice,” Chen Cheng affird.
ng Wanning looked at herself in the mirror, poised and revealing a different side of herself.
“Manager Xu, thank you.”
Xu Qiu smiled slightly, “You’re welco.”

Chen Cheng and ng Wanning, as the invited guests, arrived on ti in the private room.
She held onto his arm, walking by his side with the most determined steps,
Hoping that tonight she could offer Chen Cheng a bit of help.
Liu Shaoxin had just arrived when he saw the two newcors. Before he could sit down, he stepped forward to greet them.
“Mr. Chen, I’m Liu Shaoxin.”
“Liu City, hello, I am Chen Cheng.”
The two shook hands firmly, and Liu Shaoxin introduced his wife, “This is my wife, Chu Qin.”
“Miss Chu, hello.”
“Hello, Mr. Chen.”
Chen Cheng also introduced ng Wanning, “Liu City, this is my girlfriend, ng Wanning.”
Liu Shaoxin and Chu Qin both greeted ng Wanning with smiles, Chu Qin taking ng Wanning’s hand and said warmly, “Miss ng is really beautiful, and she’s perfect for Mr. Chen.”
ng Wanning smiled generously, none of her shyness in front of Chen Cheng alone.
After the four of them took their seats, the intimate welco and cleansing dinner officially started.
Liu Shaoxin began by stating the reason, “Mr. Chen, Lao Cao, Cao Yue, and I have been good friends for many years. I am a few years older than him; it’s a friendship that transcends age.”
Chen Cheng: “Liu City, I am Cao Yue’s junior.”
“Oh? What a coincidence! No wonder he called late at night, saying he found a reliable god of wealth for !”
Chen Cheng waved his hands modestly, “Liu City, you flatter too much.”
He picked up the teacup in front of him and smiled, “I am just an ordinary businessman; I dare not accept that title.”
Liu Shaoxin laughed heartily, “Mr. Chen is too humble! Lao Cao told that you are a famous young talent in Beijing, and very responsible too. It’s our honor for you to co all the way to Xingyi City this ti.”
Chen Cheng smiled and said, “Liu City, Xingyi has indeed developed rapidly in the last two years, and I see many potential opportunities. This visit, I also want to see if there’s a suitable project that could contribute to the economic developnt of Xingyi.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shaoxin beca very excited, “Mr. Chen indeed has vision! What we need most in Xingyi right now is powerful investors like you!”
Without beating around the bush and also to give an account to Cao Yue in Kaiyang, Chen Cheng continued,
“Liu City, I have an immature idea that I would like to discuss with you.”
Liu Shaoxin gestured, “Go ahead.”
“Regarding the interest rate on this bond issue, the lowest rate I can offer is a monthly rate that’s one-tenth of a percentage point higher than the LPR rate.”
Chen Cheng laid out his cards, “Currently, the five-year is 4.3%; from , only 4.4%.”
He smiled, “What do you think?”
Liu Shaoxin had a mont of stunned silence, incredulous as he looked at the young man in front of him, “Mr. Chen, what is your cost of capital? Your interest rate is almost the sa as the bank’s.”
Chen Cheng spoke with ease, “If I may be frank, Liu City. You know why I ca; I need to give my senior brother a satisfactory answer.”
“Is that so?”
“As a gentleman’s word, swift as the word given.”
Liu Shaoxin hadn’t expected Chen Cheng to be so forthcoming and direct, but he still confird, “How soon can the funds arrive?”
Chen Cheng checked the ti, “Anyti on a workday.”
Liu Shaoxin stood up excitedly, “Mr. Chen, Lao Cao said you were no ordinary person, and today I see it is true.”
Chen Cheng grasped the hand extended once again to him, “This is a gift I have brought from Kaiyang.”
Liu Shaoxin nodded deeply, “Mr. Chen, I rember your kindness! On behalf of the people of Xingyi City, I thank you!”
He held on to Chen Cheng’s hand, not wanting to let go for a long ti.
Chen Cheng smiled indifferently, “Liu City, you take it too seriously, I’m just doing my bit to help the city develop.”
“After all, with the connection of my senior brother, once we et, it’s like we’re old friends already.”
Liu Shaoxin laughed heartily, “No need for a second eting! We are already familiar now!”
