Chapter 412: Chapter 247: The Adhesive for Building Strong Relationships

The next day, at the Gui Kai Road exit.

The Audi had just exited the highway when Chen Donghai spotted a Passat parked on the roadside with its hazard lights flashing not far away.

"Mr. Chen, Cao Yue might have arrived."

Chen Cheng looked over, "Alright, park behind his car."

The Audi smoothly parked behind the Passat.

Before getting out of the car, Chen Cheng said: "Wait for me in the car."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Chen Cheng got out of the car and walked towards the Passat.

Approaching the rear window, he knocked on the window.

The window slowly rolled down, Chen Cheng said, "Cao... Eh? Miss Nie."

"Get in the car, Xiao Chen."

Nie Feng opened the door, and shifted over.

Chen Cheng also sat in the back seat of the Passat, and after closing the door, Nie Feng said, "Lao Wang, get out and wait for me."

The driver, Lao Wang, also got out of the car.

Chen Cheng changed his address, "Sister-in-law, how come it’s you who came today?"

Nie Feng said with a smiling face, "Lao Cao went to the countryside for research early this morning. He asked me to deliver something to you."

Saying that, she took out a kraft paper bag from her bag, and handed it to Chen Cheng, "He also told me to wait for you at this intersection."

Chen Cheng took it with both hands, "Brother and sister-in-law are thoughtful."

Nie Feng smiled, "Isn’t Xiao Meng with you?"

"She’s still asleep. These days she’s been doing charity work here and didn’t get much rest. She has to travel again today, so I didn’t let her come."

Chen Cheng continued, "By the way, the payment has already been transferred to the village’s account. Please pass this message on behalf of me."

Nie Feng nodded, "Everything in Xingyi has been arranged by Lao Cao. When you get there, you just need to discuss till your desired price."

Chen Cheng was very grateful, "Brother is so busy yet still helps with my affairs, I feel quite guilty."

"Look at what you’re saying."

Nie Feng appreciated Chen Cheng’s way of talking, "You helped Lao Cao out of a critical situation, him finding a project for you is only fair."

"Moreover, Lao Cao said, among all the businessmen he has met, you are the most sincere, and he feels very secure working with you."

Chen Cheng humbly smiled, "Brother flatters me, I still have a lot to learn."

"It was supposed to be both of us coming to see you off today. But as you can see, he’s busy, so I came alone."

Nie Feng lightly smiled, "But that’s all right, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet in Beijing."

"Definitely. Once there’s a beginning, it’ll be more convenient later."

Chen Cheng picked up the conversation, "Once I’m done with my work on my side, I’ll be waiting for you and brother at Wanbao Hall beneath the Big Willow Tree."

Nie Feng giggled, "Now I see why Xiao Meng is so devoted to you."

"Ah? Why?" Chen Cheng intentionally asked back.

"Your way with words," Nie Feng laughed pointing at Chen Cheng, "articulate and capable, what woman wouldn’t like that?"

"Hahaha, sister-in-law, don’t tease me. I’m not good with words, just sincere at heart."

"There’s something else." Nie Feng paused, "Lao Cao told me, Luo Ziyang will be dealt with by him."

Chen Cheng really hadn’t thought of that, "This..."

Seeing his troubled expression, Nie Feng reassured, "Don’t take it to heart, your visit this time was tough, and Luo Ziyang himself has issues, so it’s not entirely for you that he’s dealing with him."

Chen Cheng understood the implications.

Luo Ziyang had been in the county for so many years; his deeds were probably well-known.

Now, as Cao Yue moves against him, it’s partly to set an example, but more to give Chen Cheng an explanation.

It’s the foundation of their start, and also the glue that strengthens their relationship.

"Thank you, brother, for considering everything for me." Chen Cheng sincerely said.

He knew some things didn’t need to be spelled out; understanding in the heart was enough.

"Xiao Chen, you also don’t need to feel burdened."

Nie Feng spoke nonchalantly, "A Luo Ziyang doesn’t mean much. There might still be Zhang Ziyang, Wang Ziyang, but just remember, I and Lao Cao won’t put you through such difficult situations again."

Chen Cheng shivered inside, understanding the significance of Nie Feng’s words.

"Sister-in-law, this kindness you and brother have shown, I, Chen Cheng, will always remember." Chen Cheng followed her lead in the conversation.

Nie Feng smiled with squinted eyes, "Alright, I won’t keep you from your journey."

She generously reached out her hand, "Xiao Chen, see you in Beijing."

Chen Cheng grasped her hand, "Sister-in-law, see you in Beijing."

After getting out of the car, Chen Cheng didn’t immediately return to his own car.

Instead, he watched the Passat completely vanish from sight before slowly returning to the Audi.

"Turn around, back to the hotel."

He put away his smile, sitting in the back seat, and opened the envelope Nie Feng handed over.

Inside were two financing agreements nearly identical to what Jin Baogen had given him.

One was for the Xingyi High-speed Railway Station front traffic hub comprehensive project.

It covered the construction of a square in front of the station, parking lot, long-distance bus terminal dispatch building, connecting roads, bridges, power, HVAC, landscaping, water supply and drainage, and related facilities.

The other was for the Wanfeng Lake Resort, covering hotel, dining, entertainment, leisure, and water sports tourism development within the Wanfeng Lake area.

The total amount of the two agreements was exactly the two billion Cao Yue had mentioned.

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, murmuring, "This welcoming gift is too precious."

...

...

Back at the hotel, Chen Cheng briefly explained the situation to Xu Qiu and Chen Donghai, then went upstairs.

The door to Meng Wanning’s room was ajar, indicating she had woken up.

Chen Cheng stood at the door, knocked, and then walked in.

Meng Wanning was packing her luggage. Seeing Chen Cheng return, her face still bore a sun-bright smile,
