Chapter 100

A pot of aged wine, a table full of exquisite dishes, and a beautiful waitress in a qipao, with a slit up to her thigh, personally pouring the wine. Such a pleasant dinner made Xiao Sheng feel incredibly invigorated! However, his ravenous manner of eating seemed somewhat out of place with the ambiance.

In the private room just a curtain away, the women occasionally burst into loud laughter. Yan Ruxue, sitting sideways by the door, wore a faint smile. Whenever her gaze met Xiao Sheng's, she would flash a friendly smile! Yan Ruxue's demeanor was all observed by Bai Jing, who was always attentive to the women at the table. Tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear, Bai Jing, increasingly interested in Xiao Sheng, was pondering something in her mind.

The 'tea party' that lasted for several hours finally came to an end around nine o'clock! With a slightly bloated belly, Xiao Sheng followed the women, burping with every step, occasionally glancing at their tight, shapely buttocks. In his mind, he evaluated the women's derrieres in terms of their sway, sexiness, and allure. To his surprise, Bai Jing, Chen Shuyuan, and Yan Ruxue were all top-notch, especially Bai Jing, whose buttocks were tight, slightly round, and had a distinct upward curve, a typical physique for bearing sons.

After exchanging farewells, the 'girlfriends' each got into their cars. Just as Chen Shuyuan was about to sit back in her car, she heard Yan Ruxue's hurried footsteps and a soft call.

"Chen Jie..."

"Hmm?" Chen Shuyuan, who had just straightened up, looked at Yan Ruxue approaching, her face filled with surprise.

"Sorry, Chen Jie, but could I trouble you for a few minutes? I have long admired you, and I would like to invite you for a casual dinner tomorrow. I wonder if you would give me this opportunity?" Yan Ruxue spoke skillfully, addressing Chen Shuyuan as 'Jie' (sister) instead of 'Zong' (boss), which immediately bridged the gap between them. By extending the invitation personally, it made it hard for Chen Shuyuan to refuse on a social level.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Shuyuan, finding it hard to refuse such a social request, reluctantly agreed. Though there was no business relationship with Shangyu Company, in this circle, one often saw each other, and today Bai Jing had personally introduced her, so she had to give this face.

The two women exchanged a few pleasantries, and Chen Shuyuan, with Yan Ruxue's watchful eyes, got into her car. As the car turned, there was a brief exchange of glances between Xiao Sheng and Yan Ruxue. Standing there with a radiant smile, Yan Ruxue's expression was full of meaning, which made Xiao Sheng realize something.

Watching Chen Shuyuan and Yan Ruxue's cars drive away, Bai Jing, standing at the entrance of the Crystal Palace Club, gradually lost her smile. The female butler beside her whispered something, and Bai Jing nodded from time to time, softly replying:

"Go, investigate this Xiao Sheng, from the very beginning..."

"Yes, Ms. Bai..."

On the highway back, Chen Shuyuan, who had had a few drinks, had a slightly flushed face. She lay lazily in the back seat, her gaze hazy as she looked at Xiao Sheng through the rearview mirror. After a moment of silence, she asked softly:

"Have you had any dealings with the Yan family?"

"Hmm? Not really, it was just at Tong Tong's birthday party last time..." After Xiao Sheng recounted the events, Chen Shuyuan, leaning against the seat, pondered something. She hadn't expected such an incident to have occurred at her cousin's birthday party.

After collecting her thoughts, Chen Shuyuan sat up straight, took out the invitation list from Chengran International, sighed, and asked tentatively:

"What do you think of Chengran International's grand public fundraising?"

"Same as you, what you think is what I think. It's a show, a display of strength, and more importantly, a demonstration of their substantial power!" After hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Chen Shuyuan pursed her lips and continued:

"If you were in my position, how would you handle it?"

"Never thought about it, because I can't be in your position. Unless something happens between us, I might think further..."

"You... can't you be serious, like..." Chen Shuyuan stopped herself mid-sentence.

"Like how I held you last night?" After saying this, Xiao Sheng turned his head slightly, looking at Chen Shuyuan's flushed face, and chuckled:

"Are you moved?"

"Xiao Sheng, don't be too presumptuous..." Even Chen Shuyuan didn't know why she was so angry today, just because of Xiao Sheng's words? Or because Xiao Sheng was too 'hot' today?

"You are indeed moved... ha ha..."

"You..." Chen Shuyuan instinctively raised the document in her hand and threw it at Xiao Sheng. However, Xiao Sheng, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, quickly reached out and tightly grabbed her wrist. Driving with one hand, he murmured:

"You are the first woman to dare throw something at my head, and not just once!" His gentle words seemed to hint at something. Chen Shuyuan, who had freed herself from Xiao Sheng's grip, avoided his gaze, leaning against the car seat, breathing heavily, unsure if it was from anger or inner turmoil.

The rest of the journey was filled with a silent atmosphere. Neither of them spoke until they passed through the winding mountain roads and entered the spring-filled garden. Xiao Sheng then said softly:

"Chengran International is just trying to save face. With so many city leaders there, all we need to do is make them lose face. Leave it to me; I guarantee that on the day of Chengran International's fundraising, Ma Han will be utterly humiliated." Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan looked at him, nodded slightly, and said softly:

"Thank you, but..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..."

When the car stopped steadily in the courtyard of the Chen residence, Chen Shuyuan, unlike her usual calm, rushed out, even leaving her bag in the car. Xiao Sheng, leaning on the steering wheel, watched Chen Shuyuan's hurried departure, licked his lips, and muttered to himself:

"I've got you..." With that, he walked proudly to his doghouse.

Taking off his shirt, just as Xiao Sheng was about to change into casual clothes, there was a knock on the door. Frowning, he glanced at the surveillance image on the computer screen and saw Tong Tong holding a bowl of ginseng soup at the door. He smiled and walked to the door, opening it to see Tong Tong's chubby face almost touching the bowl, blowing hard. Seeing Xiao Sheng open the door, she hurriedly said:

"Quick, quick, it's hot..."

Xiao Sheng quickly took the ginseng soup and asked softly:

"Is the sun rising in the east today? When did you learn to care for others?"

"Even a dog can't produce an elephant, move aside..." Tong Tong pushed past Xiao Sheng and plopped down on his bed, leaving Xiao Sheng utterly confused. What was this girl up to now?
