Chapter 410: Chapter 246: He Kissed Me

The three people at the table were all waiting for Meng Wanning’s answer.

And at this moment, in her eyes, there was only Chen Cheng’s image.

"Do you not want to do it?" After a while, Chen Cheng asked.

Meng Wanning shook her head, "Anything Grandpa asks me to do, I’ll definitely go do it."

"But..." Meng Wanning hesitated, lightly biting her lower lip, her eyes full of conflict.

Chen Cheng saw her concerns and asked gently, "Wan Wan, if you have something to say, just say it, okay?"

Meng Wanning then raised her head, looking at Chen Cheng, her eyes carrying a touch of unease, "Grandpa, I’m afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Chen Cheng pressed on.

Though they hadn’t been together long, he knew Meng Wanning’s character—she would never be so hesitant unless it was about something very important.

"I’m afraid... afraid that once I go, the rehearsal time will be too long and then... then I won’t be able to see Grandpa."

Meng Wanning’s voice got quieter and quieter, until at the end it was almost like a mosquito’s buzz.

She was naturally introverted and not good at expressing her emotions. Now, in front of Mr. and Mrs. Cao Yue, saying such words made her face turn beet red with embarrassment, wishing she could just crawl into a crack in the floor.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng felt a warmth inside; he didn’t expect that Meng Wanning would be so troubled about the prospect of not seeing him more often.

"Fool, what are you thinking? How big is Beijing? Isn’t it easy to see me?"

Chen Cheng said gently: "Even if you didn’t say anything, I would come pick you up after every rehearsal."

"Really? Grandpa, will you really come to pick me up?"

"Of course it’s true. No matter what the time, come rain or shine."

With Chen Cheng’s promise, Meng Wanning’s concerns evaporated.

She turned her head to look at Nie Feng, "Sister Feng, if I can pass, then I am willing to take the stage."

Nie Feng was very pleased, "Great! There’s no doubt you’ll do well!"

...

...

The simple family dinner was quickly finished.

Furthermore, since tomorrow is Monday, Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning did not stay too long. They bid farewell to Cao Yue and Nie Feng, got into the car, and prepared to head back to the city.

Watching the Audi leave the complex, Cao Yue—who’d had a couple drinks—was in quite a good mood.

He spoke as he walked, "Who would have thought that in today’s world there could still be a girl like Xiao Meng. My junior brother has really struck gold."

"You see, they are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple!" He turned to Nie Feng.

Nie Feng, remaining sober, asked, "Lao Cao, did you reach some sort of agreement with Chen Cheng?"

"Just a verbal promise."

Cao Yue roughly talked about the 20 million and the resource exchange.

After hearing this, Nie Feng didn’t show much surprise, instead she said, "It looks like we will be dealing a lot more with him in the future."

"Uncle Jin did have his reasons for choosing him as a successor."

Cao Yue continued, "Though he’s younger than us, the sophistication and nonchalance regarding money that he’s displayed are well beyond his peers."

"He didn’t even bat an eyelid when he heard about the two billion." He paused his steps, pondering momentarily, "According to my understanding, if this deal goes through, the inout at his end, at the very least, would be tens of millions."

Nie Feng quietly listened to Cao Yue’s analysis, her mouth cornering up in a thoughtful smile.

"Lao Cao, have you ever considered that the reason he’s so composed is perhaps because this two billion project is, in fact, nothing to him?"

Cao Yue was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "Impossible. No matter how capable he is, he’s only just taken over Jin Baogen’s business; where would he get such capacity?"

"Capacity is something intangible, yet it’s real."

Nie Feng was certainly no stranger to high-profile events and big shots.

She explained, according to her understanding, "Think about it, how could a restaurateur become involved with Jin Baogen? Moreover, to be so trusted by Jin Baogen to handle such important business?"

"This..."

Cao Yue was taken aback by Nie Feng’s question. Indeed, there were many inexplicable things.

"Lao Cao, do you think he could be like us?"

"Like us?"

Nie Feng nodded, "Maybe Uncle Jin was entrusted to take him under his wing."

"You’re saying, behind Chen Cheng, there’s also someone?"

"That’s the only explanation."

Cao Yue thought deeply, "In the circles of our age in Beijing, I can’t claim to know everyone, but I’m quite familiar with the basics about most people."

"Someone like Chen Cheng, who at such a young age displays such skill and courage, couldn’t just be a nobody," he continued.

Nie Feng added, "But who is Jin Baogen? His status and connections in Beijing are clear to both you and me. Moreover, he’s meticulous and shrewd in business—would he really hand over his livelihood to an obscure young man without absolute trust?"

Nie Feng’s words made Cao Yue’s inebriation dissipate in the night breeze.

"Do you still remember Xiao Hai, who drives the car for him?" Nie Feng asked again.

Cao Yue thought for a moment, "I didn’t pay much attention."

"I’ve seen him a few times," Nie Feng recalled, "He’s not as simple as just a driver."

"He has a secret, too?"

Cao Yue furrowed his brow, then remembered Chen Cheng telling him to keep silent about his identity.

"Baige Club is an entertainment city set up by Jin Baogen and some others." Nie Feng spoke, "And this driver Xiao Hai, is the nominal boss of Baige Club."

Having heard this, Cao Yue’s frown deepened.

"It seems Chen Cheng is no small figure," he said soberly, "After you go back, make sure to maintain a good relationship with him."

A light appeared in Cao Yue’s eyes, "I think we should start with that Xiao Meng by his side. Didn’t you two have a good chat today?"
