Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 95: One-Legged Squat Reaching for the Sky

In the bathroom, the sound of flowing water was incessant.

Chen Cheng was sitting on the bed, scrolling through his phone.

Today was Ding Er’s marriage registration, and liking posts in the circle of friends is an indispensable part.

Looking at Li Dinger in the photo who was smiling even more brilliantly than a lotus, envy appeared in Chen Cheng’s eyes.

Xiao Meier: "Are you done with work?"

Thirty seconds after Chen Cheng’s like, she sent him a message.

Chen Cheng: "I thought you’d gone to sleep."

Xiao Meier: "Not yet! Just finished tidying up the shop. Li Dinger had quite a few drinks today and kept saying he wanted to come see you!"

Chen Cheng: "Hahaha... It’s not me getting registered with him, why is he coming to see me? Isn’t he afraid his new wife will get jealous?"

Xiao Meier: "He said that you are not there during the most important moment of his life, it feels like something is missing."

Chen Cheng: "Wow, I didn’t realize I’m that important."

[The other party is typing...]

Chen Cheng: "Do you miss me?"

"Yeah!"

"I’ll be back first thing tomorrow morning."

"I want to see you."

Chen Cheng glanced towards the bathroom and replied: "In a moment, in the elevator."

He quickly walked out of the room and into the elevator area, before making the video call.

"I was just in the elevator, the signal might have been bad," Chen Cheng said with a smile.

The affection was overflowing in Xiao Meier’s eyes in the video, and she asked while looking at him through her phone, "What did you do today?"

"Played some golf, and also played cards for a while."

"Wow, you’re amazing! You even play golf now!" Xiao Meier hummed twice.

"Just messing around. With my half-baked skills, every hit is a divot!"

Xiao Meier propped up her chin, "So, did you miss me?"

The mature Xiao Meier had a girl-like longing for love at this moment, her sparkling eyes seemed to speak.

Chen Cheng smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness: "Of course, I miss you every moment."

Xiao Meier’s cheeks turned a light shade of pink, she seemed a bit shy from what Chen Cheng said, but mostly she felt sweet.

She gently bit her lips, then asked, "When are you coming back then?"

"There’s still a networking event later," Chen Cheng replied, "first thing tomorrow morning, before Wanbao Hall opens, I’ll be right before you."

"A meeting so late?"

"Yes, today’s attendees are all Mr. Jin’s business partners. There are many details to discuss."

Xiao Meier suddenly thought of something, she turned her camera around, "Xiao Cheng, many people came to the store to recharge their cards today. Take a look."

When the text on the screen became clear, Chen Cheng could unmistakably see a series of familiar company names.

Pan Shi Investment, Antai Securities, Dao Fu Asset Management, Red Mountain Capital, LinkedIn Fund...

The companies behind those people at the dinner, all without exception, had opened cards at Chen Cheng’s Wanbao Hall.

Looking at the amounts, there were 100,000s and plenty of 200,000s as well.

"They came to recharge their cards today, I asked if they were there to eat, and they said they just wanted to deposit."

Xiao Meier flipped the camera back, with a puzzled face, "What are these people up to? If they hadn’t actually paid, I would have thought they were scammers!"

Chen Cheng laughed, "Those that I’m talking business with, they are the ones."

"Wha... what?!"

"These are the institutions we’ll be partnering with in the future, they probably recharged their cards at the store to get familiar with us!"

"Oh my lord, that’s over a million in total!" Xiao Meier exclaimed, pride filling her eyes, "You’ve got a lot of clout, huh?"

"Piece of cake~" Chen Cheng said with a laugh.

Xiao Meier pouted her lips, "Xiao Cheng, you’re getting wealthier and wealthier. Won’t you one day meet a better girl and look down on me?"

Chen Cheng’s sudden wealth indeed made Xiao Meier feel insecure.

Moreover, the people coming to recharge their cards were all asset management, capital, or fund companies, making Xiao Meier feel the gap between her and Chen Cheng was growing wider.

Chen Cheng knew Xiao Meier was feeling insecure, so he imitated her tone, "Silly, what are you calling for?"

"Hubby~"

"Say it again."

"Hubby!" Xiao Meier’s beautiful eyes were brimming with emotion.

"Isn’t that right? Now that you’ve called me that, how can I not be responsible for you?" Chen Cheng gave her a calming pill.

Xiao Meier proudly shook her head, "Okay! Then I’ll stop overthinking!"

She paused, "You go get busy, don’t stay up late. I’ll wait for your return."

"Mhm, be good."

Chen Cheng looked at her on the screen, "Give me a kiss."

Xiao Meier puckered her lips towards the camera, "ber~"

The two chatted for a little longer before Chen Cheng hung up the video call and returned to his room door.

Thump thump.

He knocked on the door.

Liu Zhiya, wrapped in a bath towel, cracked the door open slightly.

After seeing that it was Chen Cheng, she opened the door.

"Mr. Chen, I thought..."

Chen Cheng walked in with a smile, "Thought I left?"

Liu Zhiya nodded and locked the door.

Chen Cheng sent a message to Chen Donghai, "Come pick me up at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning."

Then he sent a location.

Once everything was arranged, he put down his phone and looked at her.

Liu Zhiya blinked, as if she had thought of something.

She turned around, took out a medical report from her bag, and handed it to Chen Cheng with both hands, "Mr. Chen, this is my medical report, take a look."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow; he was unlocking a new experience.

"I have a question." He flipped through it casually and then set it aside.

"What is it?"

"If I hadn’t made the right choice, would you have gone on the bus with them?"

Liu Zhiya was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

She said, "Actually, Chairman Wen had already instructed before you arrived today. Any girl you choose will stay overnight here."

"Extra service fee," she added.

Chen Cheng sighed deeply, "This Wen Shulin, ah~"

Liu Zhiya squatted down, her large eyes looking up at the man before her, "Mr. Chen, shall we start?"

Chen Cheng leaned back, his hands propped up on the mattress, looking at the girl in front of him, but his mind was full of Xiao Meier’s image.

It wasn’t that Liu Zhiya wasn’t beautiful or didn’t have a nice body, but the ripened Xiao Meier from the video seemed to occupy Chen Cheng’s heart.

Liu Zhiya saw the hesitation in Chen Cheng’s eyes and thought he wasn’t interested in her.

So, she stood up again.

"Mr. Chen, how about I perform a talent for you first?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You have a talent?"

"I used to do folk dance," Liu Zhiya stepped back two paces, "I still have the basic skills."

Chen Cheng sat up straight, "Let’s see then."

Whoosh!

To Chen Cheng’s surprise, Liu Zhiya stood on her right leg while kicking her left leg sky-high, her body naturally bending to the right, forming an inverted "T".

Those two long, white, and straight legs vividly performed a split in midair, drawing a "one" character.

"Whoa! That’s some acrobatic feat!" Chen Cheng was truly amazed.

Liu Zhiya smiled slightly and lowered her leg, "I practiced it for a while as a child. Later on, I found dancing too strenuous and I grew too tall, so I quit."

She leaned against the TV cabinet, her beautiful legs naturally crossed, "Mr. Chen, perhaps..."

Liu Zhiya pursed her lips and asked, "Or tell me, how do you like to play? I can accommodate."
