Chapter 54 -54: You Must Gauge the Limits in Matters of the Heart Yourself

Chen Cheng: “Mr.

Jin, you praised me like that last time too, and I was so happy for a whole two hours…”

He laughed and shook his head, “But in the end, you taught me a tough lesson!”

Jin Baogen burst into laughter, “You had never done that kind of thing before, so taking the first step was already pretty good.”

“What’s that popular phrase you young people use?

What is it again?”

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, “Encouragement-based teaching?”

“Hahaha, right!” Jin Baogen nodded repeatedly, “If I had just shot down your idea from the start, where would the fun be?”

“So this time, are you encouraging me again?” Chen Cheng asked.

Jin Baogen took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled slowly, the lingering smoke seemed to carry his life experiences.

“Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk, just between the two of us.

When I was young, I had so many ladies around me that I couldn’t count them all with my hands and feet combined.”

Chen Cheng’s eyes widened in surprise, “Mr.

Jin, I’d never have guessed!”

“I was young then!

About the same age as you are now, with dreams of riding fast and seeing all the beauties in the world.”

Jin Baogen said nonchalantly, “Plus, back then, courting didn’t cost much.”

“Just drive a Santana, say a few sweet words, grab some McDonald’s, then go rowing in Houhai, and it was a sure thing.

If you met someone who pretended to be high-class, spending a little money to stroll around Seter or dine at Lao Mo’s would seal the deal.” He said with a laugh.

“Awesome!” Chen Cheng gave a thumbs up.

Jin Baogen looked content, “But no matter how I played, I never let myself get into trouble because of the relationships between women.”

Chen Cheng rolled his Adam’s apple, “That’s pretty amazing!”

“Whether it was a spouse in marriage, a long-term side piece, or even a brief fling, I was always able to keep the relationships balanced.”

Chen Cheng listened carefully, “Got it.”

Jin Baogen patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder, saying, “In business, I can teach you everything without reservation.

But when it comes to love, you’ve got to navigate that on your own.”

“I’ll learn from Mr.

Jin!” Chen Cheng said with a laugh.

“You little rascal!”

Both men stood up, and Jin Baogen looked back, “How much longer till the opening?”

“Three to five days, I think we’re good to go.”

“When the time comes, reserve a table for me,” Jin Baogen said.

Chen Cheng nodded, “Definitely the only and best private room.”

Jin Baogen nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s go back and check it out.”

After locking the door, the young and the old walked towards the noodle shop again.

As they walked, Chen Cheng asked, “Mr.

Jin, is Wen Shulin from Hong Kong Island?”

Jin Baogen shook his head with a smile, “She’s a girl from Beijing.”

“Her accent really doesn’t show it.”

“Seventeen or eighteen years ago, she went to be a mistress for an old man over there,” Jin Baogen said slowly, “A few years back, the old man passed away, and she returned.”

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, “She really doesn’t beat around the bush?”

“Hahaha!” Jin Baogen stopped walking and laughed, “What?

Are you interested in her?”

“Didn’t you say we might collaborate in the future?

I just thought I’d ask in advance.”

“There is potential for collaboration.”

Chen Cheng pressed on, “In this matter, she is…”

“She’s a director at CGG,” Jin Baogen revealed, “Her company is on the list of institutions we’ll be working with.”

Chen Cheng’s jaw almost hit the floor.

As a survivor of the industry reshuffling in Mainland China, CGG stands as a representative institution for the northern region.

Seeing Chen Cheng’s shocked expression, Jin Baogen couldn’t help laughing, “How about it?

Are you more interested in Wen Shulin now?”

Chen Cheng quickly nodded, “Mr.

Jin, you’ve really broadened my horizons!”

But half a second later, he asked, “To become a director as a mistress, that means she must be pretty capable!”

Jin Baogen said with a half-smile, “What?

You want to go toe-to-toe with her?”

“Don’t joke!

Isn’t she that…?”

Jin Baogen’s eyes smiled, “Before she was that, wasn’t she also a mistress?”

“This…” Chen Cheng chuckled awkwardly, “Am I a little too unskilled for this?”

“So, you should go and train with Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu first, they know Wen Shulin the best, don’t they!”

“Mr.

Jin, you’re not joking, are you?” Chen Cheng took a step back, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Jin Baogen’s eyes gleamed with amusement, “Giving up so soon?”

Chen Cheng understood that look, “Hey, I’m just a little sparrow, how can I compare to an old bird like you!”

“Hahaha…” Their laughter echoed in the air.

Returning to the noodle shop, just as he reached the entrance, Chen Cheng heard the sound of a horn behind him.

Looking back, it was Feng Biao and Ding Chaohui who had arrived.

“Dacheng!

Let’s go!” Ding Chaohui got out of the car and enthusiastically called out to Chen Cheng, “Let’s go out for a drink!

Call Sister E too!”

Chen Cheng replied, “Not going, I have guests today!”

Ding Chaohui’s gaze lingered on Jin Baogen for a moment, seeming to recognize him, but couldn’t recall the name.

Seeing this, Feng Biao also got out of the car.

He gazed at Jin Baogen with squinted eyes and muttered under his breath, “Ding Er, who is this grandpa?”

“Let me think…” Ding Chaohui pondered for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up.

“Mr.

Jin!” he exclaimed.

Feng Biao frowned, “Mr.

Jin?

Who’s that?”

“Mr.

Jin!

Haven’t you always bragged in front of me that you knew him?” Ding Chaohui slammed the car door shut.

He stood respectfully in front of Jin Baogen, “Grandpa, it’s little Ding Er here!

You even held me when I was a kid!”

Jin Baogen looked him over, recalling with some difficulty: “You are…”

Chen Cheng timely introduced, “Ding Chaohui, his family’s elder is Ding Mao.”

Upon hearing that name, Jin Baogen remembered, “Little Ding Er!

How’s your elder doing?”

“Still robust!

Drinks his half a pint of liquor every day!”

Jin Baogen nodded, “Good, good!”

At this moment, Feng Biao also came forward, finally meeting the legendary Mr.

Jin.

“Mr.

Jin, I’m Xiao Biao!”

Jin Baogen truly couldn’t remember this time, Chen Cheng said, “He’s another childhood friend of mine, Feng Biao.”

Jin Baogen looked at the three people before him, “Dacheng?”

“Eh!”

“Li Dinger?”

Ding Chaohui nodded vigorously, “It’s me.”

“Shu Biao?”

“Exactly, exactly!” Feng Biao kept bowing.

Jin Baogen laughed, “Don’t you guys have another brother called Xia Pi?”

“Xia Bao!” Chen Cheng also laughed along: “Xia Gaoqiang.”

“Right, right, right!

The Willow Tree Four Tigers!” Jin Baogen fondly mentioned the four people’s nicknames.

Feng Biao chuckled along, “Mr.

Jin, you’re the real deal, we’re just messing around!”

Jin Baogen glanced around, “Eh?

Isn’t there one more person?”

“On the way!” Ding Chaohui took out his phone, “I’ll ask where he is now.”

Jin Baogen turned to Chen Cheng, “Mr.

Chen, how about we borrow your dishes and drinks and all have a meal together today?”

“Mr.

Jin, listen to you,” Chen Cheng chuckled and nodded, “We’ll keep you company.”

“Good, good, good!” Jin Baogen said ‘good’ three times, “Although I’m getting on in years, I still like to have a drink with the youngsters!”

“You take a seat first, I’ll go buy some more marinated dishes for our drinks,” said Chen Cheng.

Jin Baogen nodded.

Feng Biao was excited, “Dacheng, I’ll go with you!”

Chen Cheng pointed towards the noodle shop, “Help out there, aren’t you?

Sister E is doing it all alone?

Shouldn’t you at least cook a couple dishes?”

Feng Biao slapped his forehead, “Right, I’ll call Yingzi right now!

Her cooking is definitely better than mine!”
