Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Billion-Dollar Deal (3 more updates, seeking followers) Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Billion-Dollar Deal (3 more updates, seeking followers) Yehe Hand-made Sushi Restaurant, was previously Chen Cheng’s usual go-to place after work, located right beside Chaoyang Park.
The scale of this restaurant is much larger than that of Fennel Noodle Shop, and a lot of thought has gone into its decoration.
Upon entering, one imdiately feels a strong aura of black and gold, sowhat reminiscent of the Bulgari Hotel.
The entire background of “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is placed behind the chef’s area, as if foreshadowing the intense impact of the upcoming events, just like the cuisine here, fierce like the ocean waves.
Chen Cheng walked in with Xia Yubing and Chen Donghai.
Since it was past alti, there were no custors in the shop.
Only the owner, Shao Lijun, a man in his early fifties with a goatee, was still sitting at the polished wooden counter, having his lunch.
“Brother Jun.”
Chen Cheng tapped on the counter and asked with a smile, “Are there any dishes available?”
Shao Lijun turned around, a flash of surprise in his eyes upon seeing Chen Cheng,
“Xiao Chen?
It’s been over two months since you last ca!
What have you been busy with?”
He noticed the devastatingly attractive Xia Yubing and the stonily silent Chen Donghai beside Chen Cheng.
Judging by the looks of it, this regular custor seed to have really made it big.
“Busy with random stuff.” Chen Cheng glanced at the day’s nu, “Is there a private room available?”
“Yes.”
Shao Lijun responded, “Order your dishes, and I’ll bring them to the room for you.”
“Alright.”
Chen Cheng asked Xia Yubing to order so sushi, sashimi, and yakitori.
Then, he told Chen Donghai, “Xiao Hai, order whatever you like.”
“Sure, Mr.
Chen.”
Shao Lijun imdiately got the ssage, he returned to the kitchen area, “Please take a seat first in the room, your dishes will be ready soon.”
Chen Cheng and Xia Yubing walked further inside the restaurant to a sliding door.
“Do we need to take off our shoes?” asked Xia Yubing.
Chen Cheng nodded, “The food here is quite good.”
Right as Xia Yubing was taking off her YSL high heels, Chen Cheng caught a faint enchanting scent.
He was slightly startled.
“I sprayed so perfu on my socks.” Xia Yubing whispered, her face a mix of embarrassnt and shyness, “I didn’t bring a new pair of socks.”
Chen Cheng raised one eyebrow, teasing her, “You’re quite creative.”
The two entered the private room and sat facing each other.
The tatami mats in the room were sunk to the height of a shin, allowing guests to sit comfortably during the al, rather than in the traditional cross-legged posture.
Xia Yubing took off the Chanel coat that Chen Cheng had just bought for her and placed it aside, leaving only the pure white silk blouse she wore underneath.
“Do you co to this place often?” she asked.
“I used to co here often.”
Chen Cheng didn’t hide it, “This place might not be as famous as the Kyoto Kaiseki Hanachan in Pangu seven Li, but the owner’s skills are truly extraordinary.”
Xia Yubing smoothed her hair, “I can see that.”
“You can tell without even tasting?”
“He’s got bluefin tuna on his chopping board.
For a small place like this to get such stuff shows that the business is still going well.” Xia Yubing explained.
Chen Cheng smiled, “Director Xia, I didn’t realize you were so knowledgeable.”
“Mr.
Chen, please don’t call Director Xia now.” Xia Yubing spoke softly, “I don’t look anything like a director anymore.”
“So, how should I address you?”
Xia Yubing looked across the table at Chen Cheng, “Just call Xiao Bing.”
Chen Cheng shook his head.
“What’s wrong?”
“I can’t allow this.
You are older than ,” Chen Cheng joked.
Xia Yubing’s expression stiffened as she realized this seemingly gentle and amiable man had a firm grip on her, indeed being three years younger than herself.
“Do I look that old?” she muttered.
Chen Cheng laughed, “C, should not count as old, right?”
“I’m a small D!” Xia Yubing argued hurriedly, her ten toes tensing under the table.
“Tsks, didn’t see that coming, really didn’t see that coming.”
Thud thud thud.
Shao Lijun knocked on the door, delivering the als to the doorstep.
Chen Cheng turned sideways to open the door, “Still missing the grilled bird, just a mont.”
Chen Cheng was about to say thanks, but Xia Yubing spoke first, “Boss, give the grilled bird to the person at the door, we have enough here.”
Shao Lijun nodded, didn’t ask further, and turned to leave.
Chen Cheng closed the door again, just got the food in hand, and when he turned back, Xia Yubing was nowhere to be seen.
He only felt a numb under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw the aloof Director Xia crawling out from under the table at shin height.
“Mr.
Chen…” She cooed, hiding under the table and winked at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng’s heart raced; he knew what would happen next.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
Xia Yubing pursed her lips tightly; the last defense of the ice queen was utterly shattered.
She nodded heavily.
Chen Cheng took a slight breath, placed the food on the table, and handed over a pair of chopsticks, “Pin your hair up.”
Xia Yubing obediently did so, scooping up her long hair with the chopsticks, and smoothly tied it into a bun at the back of her head, with a few strands falling tenderly beside her face adding a touch of charm.
Chen Cheng saw this and knew it was a deal worth billions.
“Umm~ Umm~ Umm~”
For the first ti, Xia Yubing felt such a real sensation, partly delirious, partly delighted, discovering the taste of true joy compared to the sham delights with Wen Shulin.
In contrast, Chen Cheng also experienced the passion that cos after lting ice and erupting volcanoes, a sharp contrast to Xia Yubing’s usually cold and beautiful image.
Ding!
[Account ending in 4858: A deposit of 100,000,000 renminbi has been made.
Beijing City Developnt Bank]
The sudden deposit notification startled Chen Cheng, and as he reached for his phone, Xia Yubing retched a few tis.
Chen Cheng looked down, only to see her eyes red.
“Are you okay?”
Xia Yubing shook her head.
Ding ding ding.
Just then, Tong Jialu’s call ca in.
Chen Cheng answered, “Speak.”
“Brother Cheng, the money has been transferred into your account.”
Chen Cheng gestured to Xia Yubing to keep going, “I saw it.”
“So, my cousin…” Tong Jialu had been anxious all morning with no news, “Is she okay?”
Chen Cheng handed the phone to Xia Yubing, who glanced at the caller ID and mumbled, “Xiao Lu, I’m fine.”
“Sis, I’m so relieved to finally hear your voice!
I was so worried!”
Tong Jialu continued, “I knew it, Brother Cheng would never trouble you!
He’s such a good person!”
“I’m busy, we’ll talk when I get back.”
“Okay!”
Chen Cheng hung up the phone, his lips curling into a smile, “Shall we continue?”
Xia Yubing nodded, but Chen Cheng instead opened the cara, aiming it at her, “Look up.”
“Um.”
“Make a ‘peace’ sign.”
Without any resistance, Xia Yubing stretched out her right hand, mimicking the action Chen Cheng intended.
“Smile.”
A foolish, sweet smile appeared on Xia Yubing’s face, aligning with Chen Cheng’s expectations.
He frad this beautiful scene into the screen and pressed the shutter.
