In the evening, Zhuang Manting and Zhuang's mother jointly cooked a table of delicious food. The family ate it happily and wandered in the yard.
Luo Yuyan from next door ran over and took Zhuang Shiyu to chat.
Xue Ningzhi had to follow.
Fortunately, during the renovation period, although Chen Dongcheng was not in Pengcheng, Zhuang Manting frequently contacted Xue Ningzhi about the renovation.
The two of them are quite familiar with each other and admire each other quite a bit.
Xue Ningzhi looked at Luo Yuyan and Zhuang Shiyu who were playing around, sighed and said: "Manting, can you let Shiyu come and stay more often in the future?
My Yuyan is a bit withdrawn and has too few friends with whom she can hang out."
Zhuang Manting also heard Xue Ningzhi talk about her family situation, and knew that Luo Yuyan lost her father when she was young.
After a little hesitation, Zhuang Manting nodded: "If it's convenient, I will bring more Shiyu over."
"That's great, thank you."
Xue Ningzhi quickly thanked her with a sincere face.
Zhuang Manting smiled and shook her head: "No, I don't think anyone would refuse a single mother's request."
"By the way, is your company developing smoothly?"
"It's okay. We are currently in a bottleneck period. Internet companies have reached the C round and cannot come up with a profit model. Investors can't pass the test at all."
Zhuang Manting felt a little depressed when she mentioned Shangdong Technology.
Xue Ningzhi comforted: "It's already very good. Your company must be valued at three to four billion US dollars now, right?"
"Well, if the C round of financing is completed, the valuation will be almost US$500 million."
Xue Ningzhi was a little surprised: "As expected of capital, the valuation of Internet companies has risen too fast."
"If it doesn't go public, everything is in vain."
Zhuang Manting shook her head and replied with a smile: "Your decoration company is quite good. I heard that the cooperation with Super Orangutan is quite good."
Super Gorilla is one of keep's competitors.
Zhuang Manting also heard some information from Chen Dongcheng and knew that Chen Dongcheng was the largest shareholder of Super Orangutan.
Xue Ningzhi glanced at Chen Dongcheng, who was sitting on the bank, chatting with Mr. Zhuang, and said with a smile: "I have to thank your man. Without him speaking, I can only be greedy."
There are too many decoration companies in Pengcheng, and Super Orangutan's business is definitely a tempting cake.
There are also many decoration companies that come to your door and offer low prices.
Without Chen Dongcheng's instruction, Tiaotiao and the others might have changed their partners long ago.
Zhuang Manting also looked over and smiled tenderly.
The two little girls also ran to the shore, picked up the stones on the shore, and threw them onto the surface of Yanqi Lake, causing waves to splash.
Father Zhuang looked at Yanqi Lake, smelled the moist air, and couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this the kind of life people live for?"
Mr. Zhuang, who came from the countryside and had never seen the world, did not dare to think about what a villa worth more than RMB 100 million would look like.
Until today, he finally saw it.
Living near the lake, it has a usable area of nearly 2,000 square meters and a garden of over 1,000 square meters.
The security of the community is tight and the dignity is revealed everywhere.
"Maybe, since you have money, you must make your life more comfortable.
As long as you live, you should never treat yourself badly."
Father Zhuang nodded and sighed: "I don't have much ability, so I didn't let Man Ting enjoy the blessing.
This kid's life is miserable and he went out to work before he could go to college.
Now that we see that you are living well, your aunt and I are relieved."
"It's not easy for Uncle Zhuang to raise Shiyu and Manting.
Young people, after all, still have to fight hard."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and comforted Father Zhuang with a few words.
Of course, the word "hard work" has nothing to do with him.
No matter how high the house price is, it is still not high enough for Chen Dongcheng to fight for his life.
It's getting late and night has fallen.
Zhuang's father and mother insisted on going home no matter what, but the old couple refused to live in the villa.
That's the wedding room of my daughter and son-in-law. What's going on with the two of them living there?
Chen Dongcheng had no choice but to ask Xie Jingyu to send them back.
Luo Yuyan refused to let Zhuang Shiyu go, looking like she was about to cry.
When Father Zhuang saw that Xue Ningzhi was orphaned and widowed, he couldn't help but feel soft: "Okay, Shiyu, don't disturb your brother-in-law and their rest."
"knew."
Zhuang Shiyu nodded obediently, with excitement on his face.
Being able to live in a big villa may be a huge surprise for every underage child.
Zhuang's father and mother left, and Luo Yuyan and Zhuang Shiyu continued to make noise until almost ten o'clock, when they were taken away by Xue Ningzhi.
Zhuang Manting was already very familiar with the villa and took Zhuang Shiyu to the guest bedroom.
The sheets and quilts in the room are all brand new.
This was the first time Zhuang Shiyu saw a room with a separate bathroom.
The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized bathtub are unprecedented.
"Would you like to take a bath?"
Zhuang Manting gently helped her sister untie her hair.
"want."
Zhuang Shiyu nodded quickly.
"I'll find you some pajamas."
Zhuang Manting opened the wardrobe in the room. There were pajamas for men and women, and they must all be from Qimuli.
Xiao Shiyu took the pajamas handed over by her sister and touched the fabric.
It feels very high-end and very comfortable after wearing it.
"The towels are here, you go wash them first and put some body lotion on them after washing.
Remember to go to bed early and call me in the master bedroom if anything happens."
After Zhuang Shiyu listened to her sister's instructions, she nodded and sent her sister out of the house.
Then he cheered, untied his pajamas and jumped into the bathtub with comfortable water temperature.
After all, Zhuang Shiyu is just a child now.
The playful nature is still there, but it's just hidden deeper.
…
Master bedroom suite.
Chen Dongcheng pressed the remote control, and the TV screen kept switching.
Watching Zhuang Manting walk into the house, she asked, "Have you finished making arrangements for Shiyu?"
"Well, that girl is very happy. I have to go over and have a look later."
Zhuang Manting changed into pajamas in front of Chen Dongcheng, showing no sign of shyness.
How could Chen Dongcheng still have the time to watch TV at this time?
My throat felt a little dry and I swallowed.
Even though Zhuang Manting doesn't work as a fitness trainer, she still exercises when she gets home from get off work.
When running a start-up company, without good health it is easy to collapse first.
The CEO is the brain of a company.
If the brain is dead, the company will definitely be doomed.
Chen Dongcheng rushed over, picked up Zhuang Manting from the waist, and then covered her with the quilt.
Only the faint blue light from the TV and the warm light beside the bed were left in the room.
After Zhuang Shiyu took a bath, she came to the door of her sister's room. She wanted to ask her sister how to fill the bathtub with water.
Hearing her sister's whisper, Xiao Shiyu's ears suddenly turned red.
Standing on the spot, the gesture of knocking on the door suddenly stopped.
Xiao Shiyu didn't knock on the door until her sister's voice disappeared.
This knock on the door startled the two people in the room, and Zhuang Manting quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"Sister, I don't know how to let go."
"Oh, you go back to your room first, I'll be there in a minute."
Zhuang Shiyu felt a little tired after hearing her sister's voice, so she responded obediently: "Okay, I'll go back first."
The sound of slippers being pulled up sounded, and Zhuang Manting breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at Chen Dongcheng angrily.
She just changed her clothes, but because of Chen Dongcheng's trouble, she was almost caught by her younger sister.
Chen Dongcheng chuckled, he was thick-skinned anyway.
Zhuang Manting rested for a few minutes, ran to the bathroom to wash herself, and then put on her pajamas.
In order to prevent Chen Dongcheng from having another attack, he chose the most conservative pajamas.
But being conservative is only relative, and Zhuang Manting's figure is very high.
No matter how conservative those pajamas are, they can't stop a pair of proud long legs.
Zhuang Manting left and came back, huddled in the quilt and lay in Chen Dongcheng's arms.
"Mengmeng has an exam tomorrow, remember to go and take a look."
Zhuang Manting reminded Chen Dongcheng.
"I know, I see you've been under a lot of pressure lately, so I'll put it aside beforehand about the financing."
Chen Dongcheng must have felt distressed when he saw Zhuang Manting looking a little tired.
"Shangdong Technology is the training tool I gave you. After a while, you can go to the Magic City to help me."
"Magic City?"
Zhuang Manting asked curiously: "What should I do there?"
"Social e-commerce, please learn more about this aspect when you have time."
"I know, but lately I feel like I've had a revelation.
Handling company affairs becomes more and more relaxed, I don’t know why.”
Zhuang Manting and Chen Dongcheng naturally talked about everything.
Of course Chen Dongcheng knew that the ability accelerator he bought for her had taken effect, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because of your accumulation some time ago that it has paid off. It's just a matter of accumulation."
"Oh, that's not even possible."
Zhuang Manting was a little happy: "But this is a good thing. I was still considering whether to give up my position to other professional managers."
If she hadn't had a breakthrough in her abilities, with Zhuang Manting's character, it would really be possible for her to do such a stupid thing.
"Professional managers are destined to have only a relationship of interest with me. I cannot trust them 100%. You are different from them."
Chen Dongcheng hugged Zhuang Manting and said very frankly.
Zhuang Manting lay in Chen Dongcheng's arms and whispered softly: "No matter when, I will try my best to help you."
"I know."
Chen Dongcheng looked out the window. The night was dark and only the crescent moon hung high in the sky.
"Go to bed quickly, we have to go to the company tomorrow."
Zhuang Manting nodded and was about to turn off the lights when she was pulled back by Chen Dongcheng: "No need to turn off the lights, let's sleep in the dark."
Zhuang Manting's ears suddenly turned red, but she still silently took back her hand to turn off the light.
…
"Wake up so early?"
During his morning jog in Chunshui'an Community, Chen Dongcheng bumped into Xue Ningzhi.
This woman is really getting younger as she lives longer, and running tights have a shaping effect.
Xue Ningzhi has a very good figure, and with such a shape, her sexiness index continues to rise.
Thanks to Chen Dongcheng's presence with Zhuang Manting last night, he could still keep his eyes calm at this time.
After looking at her for a while, Chen Dongcheng smiled and replied: "Yes, you have to have some energy when you are young."
"This is quite rare. Generally, you young people shouldn't sleep until you wake up naturally."
Xue Ningzhi said with a smile.
"Sister Xue, you sound like a young man, and you talk as if you are old."
"Sister, I am already over thirty, and I am already a middle-aged woman."
Chen Dongcheng pretended to be surprised: "Really? Why do I feel that when you and Yuyan go out, people who don't know will think they are sisters."
"You have such a smooth tongue, right?"
Xue Ningzhi rolled her eyes at Chen Dongcheng without deliberately flirting.
But even such a casual flirtation can make Chen Dongcheng feel itchy in his heart.
This woman was poisonous. Chen Dongcheng was wary and said quickly: "Then I won't disturb Sister Xue. I'll go home first."
"Eh..."
Xue Ningzhi saw Chen Dongcheng running back to the villa quickly, and smiled: "Sister, I am so scary."
Zhuang Manting was also preparing breakfast at this time and did not make a sandwich to fool Chen Dongcheng.
"Go wash your hands and then you can eat."
Chen Dongcheng nodded and pushed open an invisible door in the living room, which was a feature designed by Xue Ningzhi.
The door is integrated with the wall. If you are not familiar with it, you will definitely not know that there is a hidden bathroom inside.
Zhuang Manting was accustomed to serving Chen Dongcheng rice, pouring hot milk, and eating a plain but warm breakfast together.
"Where's Shiyu?"
"That girl was so excited last night that she went to bed a little late. It happens to be a holiday today, so I let her sleep a little longer."
Zhuang Manting went to the company after dinner, Chen Dongcheng watched TV downstairs for a while, and Zhuang Shiyu had just woken up at this time.
The little girl rubbed her eyes and yawned, and the sound of slippers sounded on the stairs.
Chen Dongcheng looked up at the little girl and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Um."
The little girl was a little embarrassed. She looked around and didn't see Zhuang Manting.
"Your sister is at work. Do you want to go back to your parents' house or go to Yuyan's house?"
The little girl quickly said: "I want to go to Yuyan's place."
"Then go and wash up quickly, I'll have something to do later."
After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, the little girl hurried upstairs to wash up.
In less than ten minutes, the little girl changed her clothes and went downstairs to wait for Chen Dongcheng.
"Eat first, don't go hungry."
Zhuang Shiyu opened her mouth and was about to say that she wasn't hungry.
For girls, as long as you have fruits and snacks to eat.
But after looking at each other with Chen Dongcheng, the little girl obediently sat down on the chair in the restaurant and watched Chen Dongcheng heat food for her.
"Eat slowly. Your sister may be late from get off work tonight, so you can have a meal at Yuyan's house."
Chen Dongcheng looked at the little girl eating slowly, she seemed quite ladylike.
Zhuang Shiyu nodded, she was no stranger to Luo Yuyan's family.
Xue Ningzhi also likes her very much. She has a better temper than Luo Yuyan, and is very quiet.
If it hadn't been for the first time in a big villa last night, it would have been difficult to see the lively side of this girl.
After Zhuang Shiyu finished breakfast, Chen Dongcheng took the little girl to the next door.
As expected, Xue Ningzhi is resting at home.
Basically, whenever Luo Yuyan was at home, Xue Ningzhi never went out.
"Mr. Chen?"
Xue Ningzhi watched Chen Dongcheng and Zhuang Shiyu enter the villa with some confusion.
"I have something to do. Please help Mr. Xue take care of Shiyu."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and explained his purpose.
"Oh, it's okay, Yu Yan just happened to be clamoring to find Shi Yu."
Xue Ningzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried about how to convince Chen Dongcheng and the others.
She asked Zhuang Shiyu to come over and play with Luo Yuyan. Unexpectedly, Chen Dongcheng sent Zhuang Shiyu directly to her.
"Thank you Aunt Ningzhi."
Zhuang Shiyu thanked her sweetly.
Xue Ningzhi smiled lovingly: "This girl has always been so well-behaved, just the opposite of my girl."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Xue. I'll treat Mr. Xue to dinner another day."
Chen Dongcheng said politely, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Okay, what day?"
Xue Ningzhi looked at Chen Dongcheng with a smile, obviously joking on purpose.
Chen Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It depends on Mr. Xue's mood, I will be free at any time."
Xue Ningzhi rolled her eyes at Chen Dongcheng: "Dexing, go and do your work. Shiyu is here with me, so there is no need to worry about it."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded, silently thinking in Zhuang Shiyu's little head: "Have fun."
"I know, goodbye brother Dongcheng."
The little girl pursed her lips and said goodbye obediently.
Chen Dongcheng nodded to Xue Ningzhi again and left the villa.
Xue Ningzhi took Zhuang Shiyu's little hand and said with a smile: "Yuyan, this girl is still lying in bed. It would be great if that girl was half as well-behaved as you."
