634: Chapter 108: Who Takes Him Seriously?

05:47am

“I drank with friends last night and ended up dreaming about you.

You were still full of crap, telling me bizarre stories in the dream.”

You said there was an island in the universe, a fantastical island, with three types of people.

The first type was called Pecs People, whose pectoral muscles were very bouncy and could reflect any material at a hundred percent.

The second type was called…

I forgot.”

I wanted to hold on to this dream, so I wrote it down in my notes, but after I woke up, it began to crumble and did so very quickly, really quickly.”

Apart from the first type of people, I remember something else in the dream, us lying on the bed in the bedroom.

Your phone was charging at a faraway place, so I started searching for charging cables in the room, one power strip, two power strips, three power strips.

I don’t know why, but I needed that many power strips to finally get it next to our pillows to charge.”

Then you started holding me and telling me stories, really boring little stories, but you just left after finishing, and in my room, there was a purple old-fashioned mosquito lamp.

Cheng Daqi, it kept zapping mosquitoes with loud snaps, too noisy, and it woke me up.”

But when I woke up, I found there was no mosquito lamp.

Then I closed my eyes again and saw you once again.

I said, if you were going to leave, at least put on your coat and socks.

You told me it wasn’t important.”

You said it wasn’t important, and I woke up, all because of that damn mosquito lamp.

I can’t remember the story you told me anymore.”

06:04am

“Cheng Daqi, I’m leaving.

You once said that regret is an important part of life, that what you can’t get is the most regrettable.

I don’t feel regret, thank you for letting me go, you bastard!

But you’ll never find another Zhao Hongjin, and you’ll definitely regret missing out on me!”

06:07am

“Don’t you dare regret; just keep moving forward without looking back!”

06:16am

“Plane ticket order screenshot.jpg

Am I going to see you at my flight tomorrow afternoon?”

06:30am

“Don’t come seeing me off; I hate you!”

06:31am

“Scratch that last message.

You better come see me off, or I’ll report the internet celebrities of Shanhaiguan every day once I’m back in the country!”

By the time CEO Cheng saw these messages, it was already seven in the morning.

He tried to reply to Zhao, but found out he was blocked.”

Struggling to get out of bed, Cheng Daqi felt irritated.

Recently, nothing was going smoothly, and he still needed to appear calm in front of partners, collaborators, and employees.

It seemed like Zhao planned to drop out and return to China, a mess he had created after all his shenanigans.

However, returning was probably for the best.

The future in America looked abnormal, an empire in decline with too many domestic issues, large-scale shootings, high-level skinned robbers randomly spawning on the streets… It’s too unsafe.

Also, the upcoming plan to develop e-commerce using Shanhaiguan’s traffic needed someone reliable.

Zhao Hongjin might be inexperienced, but she was too trustworthy, and her fame wasn’t negligible.

She would be perfect as a vice president of an e-commerce platform in the future.

Especially since she was also involved in a scheme against Jiajia Good Goods, returning to China was actually a smart move.

And so, Cheng Daqi mused as he left the house.

A car was parked across from Cheng Daqi’s house, it was Eris, and Riel noticed his former boss, equally agitated.

The West Coast agent sat in the car, smoking, with the window rolled down halfway.

“Chan, Eris is here,” the giant Riel warned.

Lately, Eli had been threatened by Steven, and this dog of Achilles actually pulled a feint—Eris didn’t know, so he urgently needed to exchange information with Cheng Daqi now.

Eris’s thinking was simple: The folks at Forbes got a problem with me, you guys who helped me get there can’t just ignore it, right?

Either back me up to withstand it or negotiate the conditions for a quick resolution, but you have to give me some direction.

Standing on the porch, CEO Cheng narrowed his eyes looking at the car across the street.”

“First, go check if he’s carrying anything that records, then bring him over.”

He sensed something was off.

Eris would not normally come directly to his house.

There must be something he didn’t know that had happened—Eris was an unlucky pawn pushed forward by Jax, unknown to Cheng Daqi and Mi’er.

The Giant Riel, with a no-nonsense look, wanted to check his former boss’s clothes.

This disgusted Eris.

Riel was a bona fide 1, and Eli was so confused being touched by him.”

“Riel, did you forget who I am?”

“Huh, Eris, with that little salary you used to pay me, not reporting you to the tax authorities just shows my kindness.”

“You!”

“Shut up, go over now, and don’t play tricks!”

Riel didn’t spare Eris any dignity, and the West Coast agent, with a dark expression, walked up to Cheng Daqi.

“Chan, you guys screwed me over!”

CEO Cheng nodded thoughtfully, leading the way in front of Eris without turning back, and calmly countered,”

“Hmm, so what?”

He was kept out of the loop by Gru, unaware that Jax had trapped Eris, so he couldn’t understand what Eris was talking about, but he didn’t want to show weakness now, preferring a cautious response.”

“Forbes’ guys are already onto me, that Steven.

He’s audited my accounts, accusing me of having a large unexplained source of funds!”

Eris’s complaints were actually a plea for CEO Cheng to take a stand.

He thought CEO Cheng would be easier to talk to than Gru, so he wanted to get some advantage from CEO Cheng first.”

But CEO Cheng didn’t offer any advantage, instead, he turned to stare at him, his eyebrows furrowed.”

“Did you make money through that younger brother from Chen Zihao’s LCE cryptocurrency platform?”

Eris’s jaw dropped in fear—I just said one thing!
