Chapter 722: Chapter 546: Repaying a Favor Owed to the Yin Family (6000+) Part 3

"They’re not testing the importance of them to the Yin Group, but me, this newly appointed... young girl."

Faced with such tests and challenges, Su Xiaomeng accepted them calmly.

Zeng Xiaocheng didn’t know much about Su Xiaomeng, he wasn’t aware of her past. Looking at the young woman before him, he just assumed it was her cleverness and calmness that attracted Yin Shixiu.

He didn’t know about Su Xiaomeng’s astonishing growth in the past year or two.

Zeng Xiaocheng himself was a genius of a man.

At twenty-six, he was dubbed "Stock God" on Wall Street.

Seeing a twenty-three-year-old woman supporting the entire Yin Group didn’t surprise him much.

He just felt that, Mrs. Yin, the calm and composed woman before him, was qualified to seek his help.

After a brief interlude, they returned to the main topic.

"About the sharp decline in Yin Group’s stock, would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Su Xiaomeng’s tense nerves finally relaxed.

She smiled,

"I definitely want to hear them!"

Zeng Xiaocheng smiled too. Though his reputation wasn’t great and his private life was indeed messy, he was focused and meticulous when it came to professional matters. His few brief analyses suddenly enlightened Su Xiaomeng and Chen Lan.

Most importantly, ...

"Chen Lan, I’ve spent all night not understanding what you were saying, but I think once Mr. Zeng explained it, I got it... why?"

Midway, Su Xiaomeng teased Chen Lan.

Chen Lan’s face turned beet-red, silently grumbling...

Without the solid foundation I spent all night building for her, does she think she could understand it so easily now? She’s not even that smart...

With the "Stock God" around, Su Xiaomeng definitely made the most of resources, or rather, "most" of people.

Whenever there was something related to the stock market that she didn’t understand, she’d grab Zeng Xiaocheng to ask.

Zeng Xiaocheng had so much in his mind! He himself was a top-tier trader...

He gave Su Xiaomeng stock market war case studies one after another, combining theory and example, making it naturally easier for her to understand.

Su Xiaomeng asked, Zeng Xiaocheng answered, exchanging words effortlessly, almost losing track of time.

The only one suffering was Qi An, a personal bodyguard, who eventually fell asleep on the couch, overwhelmed by the stock market topics.

Chen Lan and Secretary Luo both returned to their posts, not sticking around with Su Xiaomeng like a student attending a lecture.

As the sun set, the sky outside the glass window was a bloody red.

Su Xiaomeng looked down at the book, studying the typical cases Zeng Xiaocheng wanted her to read.

Meanwhile, Zeng Xiaocheng stood by the glass window, hands in his suit pants... his frivolous eyes darkened—

In the glow of the sunset, with light shimmering, all that surfaced was his complicated thoughts.

On the transparent glass, the reflection of the woman earnestly reading on the couch faintly appeared.

The vagaries of life.

Thinking about it, even Yin Shixiu could not have imagined his woman would grow this strong.

Grandfather said every descendent of the Yin family is outstanding, with no exceptions.

And Old Mr. Yin Shaohui’s youngest son, Yin Shixiu, is the most promising in the Yin family’s nearly hundred-year history.

When grandfather spoke of these things, he didn’t quite agree.

Zeng Xiaocheng himself grew up amidst admiration and praise, as a genius.

Yet, he must admit that achieving his current accomplishments owed a lot to the unimaginable efforts and sweats he poured into what others couldn’t see.

In his eyes as a genius, Yin Shixiu was just another ordinary businessman.

Until he came face to face with this man slightly older than himself.

Some things might indeed relate to bloodline.

Grandfather said he owed the Yin Family a favor, now, he repaid and returned it, it was appropriate.

"President Su, Shan Minglang Young Master is here."

The secretary’s intercom came through, and Su Xiaomeng suddenly realized it was dinnertime.

And then she suddenly realized...

Ah! I hope the food Ming Lang prepared is enough? Zeng Xiaocheng hasn’t eaten either!

Zeng Xiaocheng heard what the secretary said over the intercom.

Shan Minglang Young Master?

Who?

The name seemed familiar somehow.

Xiao Meng still hadn’t thought about how to settle dinner while Zeng Xiaocheng was trying to recall the name "Shan Minglang."

The door to the CEO’s office was already pushed open.

"Auntie Xiaomeng! Time for dinner!"

Shan Minglang came in, carrying two large insulated food containers.

Su Xiaomeng quickly stood up,

"Ming Lang, you’re here."

When Shan Minglang came in, seeing someone standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to the door, his instinct made him think it was Chen Lan.

He placed the insulated food containers on the coffee table and shouted,

"Brother Chen, what are you looking at over there? Come eat! Tonight we have sweet and sour ribs, trotters soup, stir-fried green beans, and... um... what’s this?"

Shan Minglang had already sat down, taking out the small dishes from the food containers and listing their names.

When he saw a bowl of gooey, sticky stuff, he was a bit confused.

"Mashed potatoes."

"Oh, right, mashed potatoes."

Shan Minglang responded, looking up, and found Zeng Xiaocheng, who’d unknowingly walked up to him from the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Zeng Xiaocheng was almost the same height as Shan Minglang, but more robust than the slender Ming Lang.

In a suit, with broad shoulders and a strong chest, standing upright gave him a look of both righteousness and wickedness, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his brows raised high, as a hint of amusement danced in his eyes.

Everything about Zeng Xiaocheng made him appear as if he had stepped out of a comic book hero, except for the corner of his mouth twitching in a humorously awkward rhythm. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Shan Minglang frowned upon meeting his gaze...

Zeng Xiaocheng tried hard to keep his cool, handsome and aloof image, strikes a pose before the kid could look up, adjusting his features as much as possible, but just couldn’t contain the upward-smiling, enticing curl of his lips driven by sudden joy and excitement!

Excited! Too excited!

He was pondering how he could find this appetizing little guy, and here he was running up to him!

"Huh? Where’s Brother Chen?"

Shan Minglang found this man too unfamiliar, so he looked at Su Xiaomeng and asked.

Su Xiaomeng thought, due to her oversight, she couldn’t possibly make someone act as a teacher all afternoon and chase him away at dinnertime.

Chen Lan or whatever...

"Oh, Chen Lan has a dinner meeting tonight. Mr. Zeng will join us for dinner instead."

"Ah?"

Shan Minglang was a bit surprised, then quickly responded, "Oh, okay."

Su Xiaomeng said to Zeng Xiaocheng,

"This is Shixiu’s nephew."

"Oh, so he’s not a delivery guy after all..."

Zeng Xiaocheng was amused and unconsciously muttered a bit, catching Shan Minglang’s ears,

"What did you say?"

"Ah? Oh, nothing. Uh... did you make all this food?"

Zeng Xiaocheng asked, thinking to himself, quite the homemaker...

"How could I! If I had such skills, I’d have found myself a girlfriend long ago!"

"..."

Zeng Xiaocheng raised his eyebrows, oh dear, still hung up on finding a girlfriend?
