Chapter 413: Chapter 247: The Adhesive for Building Strong Relationships_2

"Grandpa, are you done with your work?"

Chen Cheng walked over, "Done."

He sat down by the bed, "Give me your ID card, I’ll have Manager Xu book the tickets."

Meng Wanning rummaged through her wallet without thinking and handed it over to Chen Cheng.

After receiving it, Chen Cheng didn’t send it to Xu Qiu immediately.

Instead, he held the ID card and compared the registered photo with Meng Wanning in front of him.

"Eh, the old saying is true."

Meng Wanning turned her head, "What?"

"Women truly do change drastically, the little black girl on the ID has turned into a white swan now," Chen Cheng teased.

Meng Wanning was initially stunned, then moved closer to Chen Cheng, trying to snatch her ID back, "Grandpa, you are making fun of me again!"

Chen Cheng dodged with a mischievous smile, pulling Meng Wanning’s arm over, and they both ended up falling onto the bed.

"Let me see, who is this little black girl?"

Meng Wanning was unwilling to comply, dodging while acting coyly, "I won’t show you, give it back to me."

"No."

Chen Cheng held the ID card up high with one hand and embraced Meng Wanning’s waist with the other.

Meng Wanning pouted, "That registration photo, it’s from before."

Chen Cheng smiled, "The nose is still the nose, the eyes are still the eyes, though it’s a bit dark, but it still looks like you."

Meng Wanning lay down obediently, explaining, "During that time, I didn’t use sun protection..."

Chen Cheng leaned in close to her face, and Meng Wanning quickly closed her eyes.

She remembered the short yet unforgettable kiss from last night, and her whole body tensed up.

The sound of her heartbeat was especially clear at this moment.

But the kiss she anticipated did not happen.

Instead, Chen Cheng just whispered in her ear, "Now you really need to use good sun protection, it’s such a pity if you got tanned being this fair, right?"

Meng Wanning opened her eyes, looking at the smiling Chen Cheng, "Grandpa!"

Chen Cheng got up laughing, sent her ID number to Xu Qiu, and then returned it to her, "Alright, no more teasing, hurry up and get ready, we need to catch the high-speed train."

Meng Wanning nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa, I’ve finished packing, I’ll come help you."

Chen Cheng ruffled her hair, "Okay, I’ll start packing first."

...

...

Since the plan was changed midway, the journey to Xingyi was not as relaxed as on the way here.

Moreover, when Chen Cheng came, he was alone, and now including Meng Wanning, Chen Donghai, and Xu Qiu’s team, there were a good dozen people.

Therefore, the train tickets were not in the same coach.

Business class, first class, and second class were all available.

Of course, the best seats were still reserved for Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning.

At one in the afternoon, the group of people grandly boarded the high-speed train.

Xu Qiu and Chen Donghai helped Chen Meng find their seats first before heading to their own spots.

Their seats were one in front of the other; not long after the train started, Meng Wanning came to Chen Cheng’s side.

Chen Cheng was still reviewing the materials for the two projects, weighing how much to bid to make it a worthy gift for Cao Yue.

"En? Why did you come here?"

He caught a glimpse of her.

Meng Wanning squatted next to Chen Cheng, resting her head on her hands, "I can’t see grandpa from where I was sitting."

Chen Cheng smiled faintly and patted the armrest for her to sit.

"I should have asked Xu Qiu to buy you a standing ticket," Chen Cheng joked.

Meng Wanning laughed incessantly, "This is better."

Her gaze landed on the documents in Chen Cheng’s hands, curious, "Grandpa, what are you looking at?"

"The deal we are going to discuss in Xingyi."

Chen Cheng didn’t hide it, saying with a smile, "Once these two deals are done, we can return to Beijing."

"Oh really..."

Meng Wanning thought for a bit, "A big deal?"

"Not bad."

"Not bad, how much is it?"

Chen Cheng gestured a two, Meng Wanning guessed, "Two million?"

"Guess bolder."

"Then, twenty million?"

Chen Cheng still shook his head.

"Two hundred million?"

Chen Cheng hooked a finger and whispered "Two billion" in her ear.

Meng Wanning covered her mouth in surprise, lowering her voice, "That much?"

"You see, we need to build both the high-speed railway station front building and the resort," Chen Cheng flipped through the thin papers, "This money is necessary."

"Grandpa, are all your business deals this huge?"

Chen Cheng smiled and asked, "Otherwise, do you think I really just run a restaurant?"

"No, I’ve always felt you are mysterious."

"Mysterious?"

Meng Wanning nodded, "Yeah, it feels like you know everything, yet you never say much."

She thought for a moment, "It’s like... looking at flowers in the fog."

Chen Cheng chuckled lightly, "That’s quite a high appraisal! I’m just a small-time business man."

"Not at all!"

Meng Wanning argued discontentedly, "You are not ordinary at all! Being able to call Cao Yue a brother and have meals at his house, that requires real skill!"

Chen Cheng pinched her cheek, "Then Wan Ning, let me ask you a question."

"What?"

"How much benefit do you think I should take from this to be enough?"

Meng Wanning tilted her head and pondered seriously, "Grandpa, I think having enough to use is good. It’s enough as long as there’s money to spend."

Chen Cheng looked at her clear eyes, seemingly carrying a charm not of this era.

To Meng Wanning, money truly seemed just a number.

"You are quite open-minded."

Meng Wanning supported Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "Money can’t be earned completely, no matter how much you make, you can’t take it with you."

"And besides, don’t you get tired from making too much money?"

Chen Cheng seemingly had never considered this question.

Making money had never seemed hard to him.

He checked a panel that he hadn’t looked at for days, and the content was indeed unexpected.

[Current funds: 23,062,738,271 Yuan]

[Current daily interest rate: 60.3%]

[Expenses: 49,324/1,000,000]

[Items: Requires 30 billion to unlock]

"Grandpa? Did I say something wrong?"

Meng Wanning saw Chen Cheng zoning out and thought she had misspoken.

Chen Cheng shook his head, "Wan Ning is right, money can’t be earned completely."

He closed the file, "People live in this world for life. Since my life is already comfortable enough, money really seems to have no meaning to me?"

Meng Wanning listened to his indifferent tone and couldn’t help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Grandpa, you’re really liberal." Meng Wanning whispered softly, "If others heard what you said, they would think you’re boasting!"

"Hahaha... I don’t care what others think." Chen Cheng paused, "I want to know, do you think I’m boasting?"

Meng Wanning shook her head repeatedly, "Grandpa is a capable person, every word you say, I believe!"

Chen Cheng smiled faintly, holding Meng Wanning’s hand, "Wan Ning, how come there is a girl like you?"

Meng Wanning’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she shyly lowered her head, "Grandpa, what are you talking about..."

Chen Cheng, seeing her shy look, felt even more affectionate.

"I’m telling the truth. Wan Ning, you are pure and kind, not greedy for vanity, which makes you extremely precious in this materialistic society."

He continued, "You are the only one who has never asked me for anything."

Meng Wanning blinked her eyes, particularly surprised to hear the word "only."

"Grandpa, are you saying that... the others have asked?"

Chen Cheng honestly replied, "More or less! But money is earned to be spent."

He looked at Meng Wanning, "Why don’t you try asking for something?"

"I don’t seem to lack anything?" Meng Wanning replied, "I have a job and am capable of supporting myself. I don’t have any special desires for other things."

Saying thus, she met Chen Cheng’s gaze, "Eh? I think I have one."

"Say it." Chen Cheng readily agreed.

"Can you accompany me when we return to Beijing?"

Chen Cheng paused for half a second, "But we are returning together! Is that even a request?"

"I’m scared of heights... so..."

After Chen Cheng listened, remembering her on the cable car, he realized Meng Wanning was afraid of flying.

"Then we need to buy two adjacent high-speed rail tickets in advance."

Chen Cheng said, "Otherwise on the way back, you can only sit in my lap."

"Grandpa, are you agreeing?"

"Wan Ning’s first request, how could I not agree?"

Meng Wanning smiled happily, "Yes!"

"Alright, go back and sit down." Chen Cheng patted her hand, "I need to study this a bit more."

"Yes!" Meng Wanning obediently nodded, then got up and went back to her seat.

Chen Cheng reopened the documents, looked at the amount mentioned, and glanced at the fast-moving scenery outside the train window, also pondering, "This money, I indeed have earned enough."
