Chapter 539: 502 The Prey Targeted by the Cheetah (2 more updates)

Su Yuanyuan went swimming in the pool alone, while Chen Duoduo rested in her room.

Whenever Chen Duoduo took an assistant on a business trip, she usually booked a separate room for herself and paid out of pocket.

The studio’s funds were used to book rooms for the assistants. As the boss, and because she was empathetic towards her employees, she would book the same grade of suite for her assistants as she stayed in herself.

Chen Duoduo’s assistants quite liked going on business trips with her.

The employees at Duoduo Studio also enjoyed working under Chen Duoduo. Although the workload was heavier than at other studios, the compensation was much higher.

This indeed embodied the saying, "More work, more gain."

Working under Chen Duoduo indeed required hard work, and the more effort one contributed, the more reward one could earn.

Her assistants were well aware of her habit. When Chen Duoduo rested, no one was to disturb her.

She also preferred peace and quiet.

Chen Duoduo slept until the evening before waking up.

Upon waking, Chen Duoduo found that the rain had stopped outside, and it was already evening. The backdrop of the setting sun was actually quite nice, and if Su Yuanyuan was willing to take photos, Chen could guarantee that the results would be especially beautiful.

However, she knew that Su Yuanyuan definitely wouldn’t want to, and would even comment on how the phrase "the setting sun" had an undesirable implication.

Su Yuanyuan was merely a pretty face, not fond of learning, and not brilliant either.

Did she really think that just by going abroad, she would come back gilded?

Chen had also sent Bai Wei overseas, but she understood that one still had to strive abroad. Otherwise, going abroad was just a journey, an experience, and would not "add points" to one’s growth.

Chen Duoduo washed her face, planning to go out for food. She sent a message to the three-person work group chat: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Assistant Ai Mi: "Boss, now that we’re on South Island, naturally we should eat the local specialty, a seafood feast. I want garlic oysters, a whole dozen just for me."

Assistant Venus: "Look at you with your small ambitions. Boss, seafood."

Chen Duoduo: "OK, meet at the staircase in five minutes."

"Alright."

Chen Duoduo got ready, grabbed her bag, and changed her shoes to leave.

After Beijing’s winter, it felt like summer during the day in South Island, but the evenings were cooler.

Chen Duoduo was wearing a flouncy dress that went past her knees, a strappy dress, with a light jacket over it, revealing a section of her willow-like slender waist.

As she walked, her delicate waist moved gracefully, very charming.

As soon as Chen Duoduo opened her door, the door across seemed to have a sensor installed and Bai Dingyang, having changed out of his business attire into a casual outfit, also emerged from inside.

"Heading out for dinner?" Bai Dingyang took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, is Brother Bai also going out for an appointment?"

"..."

An appointment?

Bai Dingyang frowned, then remembered the excuse he’d concocted for his supposed coincidental meeting with Chen Duoduo that afternoon, and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, we’re all young. Want to join us?"

"No need, I have two assistants with me. We’re not very fond of crowded places," Chen Duoduo declined politely.

At that moment, Ai Mi and Venus exited their respective suites, just in time to overhear the exchange between the two.

The two assistants exchanged a look.

They really wanted to deny their boss’s white lie. The only one who liked quiet was their boss; the two of them really enjoyed lively places, especially where handsome men were present, which made such spots even more unforgettable for them.

Also, when did such a handsome guy move in across from their boss?

When inquiring about rooms at the front desk earlier, they had also wanted to stay opposite their boss, thinking it would be convenient for mutual support.

However, the front desk said that the room across had already been reserved.

Well, was their boss’s luck in love finally swinging in her favor?

In fact, it was high time for the boss to have some romance. Over the years, she really had let her best youthful days slip away in the name of entrepreneurship.

They all felt a touch of regret for the boss.

However, if waiting all these years meant she could end up with such an incredibly handsome guy, it was actually worth it.

"Boss—"

When Bai Dingyang looked over, the two women called out to Chen Duoduo in unison.

"Okay, we’ll be going first then, Brother Bai."

"Sure."

**

Once at the seafood stall, Chen Duoduo wasn’t very interested in seafood, so she left the task of ordering to Ai Mi and Venus, content to wait and eat.

When Ai Mi and Venus inquired about the spending limit, Chen Duoduo laughed, took a card out of her bag, and said, "Tonight, eat whatever you like, it’s on me."

Chen Duoduo had made quite a bit of money over the years, but work occupied most of her time every day. Except for business trips, she really didn’t have time to spend it.

Therefore, despite not being accustomed to saving money, she had accumulated quite an amount.

She was always generous to her employees.

So, for the members of the studio, going on a business trip with Chen Duoduo was almost like hitting the jackpot with a company-sponsored tour.

"Thanks, boss."

Chen Duoduo pursed her lips.

Just as she picked up her phone, a guitarist came over and asked, "Would the lady like to request a song?"

"How much?" asked Chen Duoduo.

"Twenty for a song of your choice, ten if you’re not picky."

"..."

The prices were very modest, and even though Chen Duoduo had been living in elite circles for a while, she was still accustomed to these humble prices.

"Alright, play a few."

Chen Duoduo pulled out two hundred in cash. She liked carrying cash with her, even though nowadays there were many payment methods like card swiping, QR scanning, and transferring funds.

But Chen Duoduo was old-fashioned, feeling that there was something pleasant about using cash to pay for things.

Of course, this was only for small expenses.

For large amounts, she wasn’t silly enough to lug around heavy cash everywhere.

"Thank you, miss," the singer expressed his gratitude.

"Don’t mention it, ten songs will do. The other hundred is your tip for tonight."

"Thank you, boss," the singer was quick-witted, instantly upgrading her status from miss to boss.

And such a generous boss was indeed a rare find.

Straight away, a beautiful melody began to play.

Meanwhile, seated some distance away from Chen Duoduo in a corner, Bai Dingyang’s deep gaze was fixed unblinkingly on her.

Watching her request songs, watching her reward the singer.

Apart from Bai Dingyang, there were two other men dressed in a way that suited South Island’s vibe perfectly, and Bai Dingyang had not lied—they were indeed his college buddies, gathering for a meal.

However, given their number, it was not so much a reunion as it was a small group dining together.

The hairy-handed man on the left checked the time, raised an eyebrow, and asked Bai Dingyang, "Wait, Bai, with Shen’s great beauty just back in the country, are you sure Xiao will bother with us?"

"Whether he comes or not isn’t important. You two go order," Bai Dingyang took off his sunglasses, crossed his legs with a swagger, and kept his gaze on Chen Duoduo, watching her immersed in the music.

The singer was very professional, playing and singing with dedication. With the money Chen Duoduo had given him, he stood at the closest spot to her, the perfect place to enjoy the music.
