The news swept through the entire industry like a hurricane.
The acquisition of Xingye Products made headlines across all of Japan’s major financial dia.
For a ti, various speculations and analyses were rampant.
So believed it was a strategic expansion by Flying Bird Trading Co., while others suspected a greater business conspiracy behind it.
However, no matter how the outside world interpreted it, the dust had settled on the acquisition.
Xingye Products officially beca a subsidiary of Flying Bird Trading Co., and i Xiang managed to protect what she had always wanted to defend.
"Brother Cheng, how can I thank Miss Bai Wei?"
i Xiang squeezed out so shower gel, rubbing it in her hands, "She’s helped so much, I feel that just treating her to a al surely isn’t enough."
She rubbed Chen Cheng’s back, "Don’t you have an old saying that goes ’A drop of water shall be returned with a spring’? "
Chen Cheng sat on the bath stool, looking at the interface in his mind:
[Current Capital: 13,072,438,684 Yuan]
[Current Daily Interest Rate: 61.1%]
[Expenses: 74,839/1,000,000]
[Items: Needs 30 billion to unlock]
"Why didn’t it count the expenses this ti?"
Chen Cheng puzzled inwardly, for he had clearly spent 17.4 billion Yuan to buy 74.6% of the shares from i Xiang. The money was spent, but he didn’t see the expected surge in data.
After much thought, Chen Cheng guessed that the money must have been spent in the na of Flying Bird Trading Co., and could not be counted under his own na.
But for Chen Cheng, money was rely a number.
Although the interest rate did not increase, at this rate, the money spent would be recouped in two days.
The most important thing was that he had not only taken control of Xingye Products but had also prepared everything for i Xiang to leave Japan.
"Brother Cheng, are you listening?"
i Xiang stopped her movents and pressed close to Chen Cheng’s back, "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Cheng gave a faint smile, "Nothing. What were you saying?"
i Xiang continued to lather Chen Cheng with foam, "I was saying how I should thank Miss Bai Wei."
Chen Cheng refocused his attention; indeed, Bai Wei had made a significant effort in the whole affair and should be properly thanked.
But for Bai Wei, it was clear that material things and luxuries held little attraction for her.
He pondered for a mont, "She probably lacks nothing, so giving her a gift would make us seem rather crude."
"Yes, I was thinking the sa." i Xiang nodded, stopping her hands again, "Maybe..."
"What did you think of?"
i Xiang ca over to Chen Cheng, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, "There are so art items at the old house, the ones you saw last ti; how about we go ho and pick a few?"
Chen Cheng recalled the collection at i Xiang’s ho, not worth much money, but seeing her eagerness, he still said with a smile: "Okay, let’s go back tomorrow and see if there’s anything suitable."
"Okay!" i Xiang grabbed the showerhead, "Then let’s rest early, and we’ll set off first thing tomorrow!"
...
...
Once back in Gunma Prefecture, i Xiang felt like she was truly herself again.
Here, she could laugh carefree and run without restraint.
Without the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, she shed all pretense and revealed her most genuine and relaxed side.
i Xiang rummaged in the old house, "Brother Cheng, what do you think of this? It seems to be a plate from the Edo period."
Chen Cheng took it over and looked, the bottom inscription read "Jiao Fuming," and it appeared to be of good quality.
Though he knew little, he didn’t have much understanding of these foreign curios.
"How much is this worth?" Chen Cheng asked.
i Xiang shrugged, "I don’t know."
Chen Cheng took out his phone and looked it up.
He hadn’t realized until he checked that the porcelain plate in his hand varied in price from a few hundred to a few thousand Yuan, obviously not eting the standard for a thank-you gift.
"I don’t think it’s suitable." Chen Cheng put it back.
i Xiang scratched her head, "Then..."
She scanned around, it seed there was nothing really presentable, "What should we give then?"
Chen Cheng sat on the tatami, "Is there anything unusual? A plate is too common."
"Uncommon? Hmm..."
i Xiang thought for a while, "There doesn’t seem to be anything."
"I think, Bai Wei lacks nothing materially, so if we’re going to give a gift, it shouldn’t be these things."
Chen Cheng spoke, "We should give sothing she wouldn’t expect."
"Sothing unexpected?" i Xiang rested her chin, "I can’t think of anything..."
"Do you still have any of the rice you sent last ti?" Chen Cheng asked.
"Yes!" i Xiang imdiately ran out of the room, and in no ti, returned with a bag of rice.
"Then let’s give this." Chen Cheng thought, "After all, it’s rice that you grew with your own hands, which has more aning than any antique or artwork."
i Xiang blinked, "Will that work?"
"A gift of a goose feather sent from afar shows deep consideration," Chen Cheng explained with a smile, "The rice might not be worth much money, but it represents your sentint."
"Think about it, Bai Wei lacks nothing, and if you give her sothing expensive, she might find it tacky. But this rice is different; you grew it yourself, it’s unique, and it better shows your sincerity."
He paused, "Moreover, this rice also represents your affection for Xingye Products. Like this rice field, Xingye Products was nurtured by your hard work."
Chen Cheng patted the bag, "It represents your appreciation of the past, as well as your outlook on the future. This aning is more precious than any valuable gift."
"Trust , Bai Wei will definitely appreciate this gift."
Listening to Chen Cheng’s explanation, i Xiang’s doubts gradually dissipated.
"Brother Cheng, you always manage to express what’s in my heart."
Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Of course I understand little i Xiang’s thoughts."
