Chapter 52 -52 Chen Cheng’s New Toy
Back in Zhongguancun, they had just arrived at lunchtime.
Xiao Hai parked the car at the entrance of Jingfa Bank, and Chen Cheng said to the two, “Let’s call it a day here.
I’ve still got things to do.”
Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu were about to open the car doors at the same time when Xia Yubing suddenly spoke up, “How about we have lunch together?”
Tong Jialu quickly nodded, “Exactly, no matter how busy we are, we need to eat properly.”
“Sure, what would you like to eat?” Chen Cheng agreed.
“Let’s just go to our bank’s canteen!” Xia Yubing suggested, “The taste is so-so, but it’s very clean.”
Chen Cheng said to Xiao Hai, “Xiao Hai, go park the car first.”
“Sure thing, Mr.
Chen.”
The three got out of the car one after the other and waited on the side of the road for about three to five minutes before Chen Donghai also walked over.
Then, led by Tong Jialu, Chen Cheng once again stepped into that alley that had changed his destiny.
After passing the place where they used to change birds and walking another seven or eight meters, they arrived at Jingfa Bank’s canteen.
Located on the second floor of a residential building, the canteen was converted from a small three-room apartment.
Upon entering, one could see various dishes in containers lined up against the wall, with a wide variety of menu items from both the north and the south.
The news that Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu were being transferred to the head office had also spread hotly among colleagues.
Everyone was guessing what skills the two golden flowers of the branch possessed to have risen so high.
“Director Xia!
You’ve got to treat us all to a meal!”
“Yes!
We must drink to celebrate your promotion!”
Employees dining in the canteen started to tease as they saw the two come in.
Xia Yubing, as always, maintained her aloof demeanor, contrasting starkly with her timidity in front of Wen Shulin and her tension in front of Chen Cheng.
She responded indifferently, “Sure.”
Tong Jialu fetched dinner plates for Chen Cheng and Chen Donghai, “Brother Cheng, what would you like to eat?”
Chen Cheng took the plate and casually picked up a couple of side dishes.
Xiao Hai, on the other hand, had a good appetite and didn’t skimp on the chicken legs, pork chops, and beef.
He also scooped up a big bowl of rice.
“Eh?
Mr.
Chen?” Fang Yisong, who had finished his meal, walked out from an inner room at that moment.
Seeing Chen Cheng there, he quickly approached with a warm greeting, “What brings you to our place?”
Chen Cheng: “I had some business with Director Xia.
Since it was mealtime, we came here to grab a bite at Director Fang’s place.”
“It’s an honor for Mr.
Chen to visit!” Fang Yisong, thinking Chen Cheng didn’t fancy the food since he had only picked two dishes, immediately turned and shouted to the kitchen: “Stir-fry two of our best dishes!
One fish and one shrimp!”
All eyes focused on Chen Cheng, the new face.
Clothes maketh the man, as the saying goes, and with Chen Cheng’s handsome appearance combined with Fang Yisong’s obsequious flattery, everyone mistook him for a privileged second-generation rich kid.
Fang Yisong gestured invitingly, “Mr.
Chen, this way please.”
The group entered a room which should have been a bedroom but now contained a large round table as opposed to the small dining tables outside.
Seeing the table still cluttered, Tong Jialu was about to clean up, but Fang Yisong beat her to it and swiftly tidied away the leftovers.
“Mr.
Chen, please take a seat,” Fang Yisong invited Chen Cheng to the seat of honor, then turned to Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu, saying, “Director Xia, Manager Tong, and this young man, please take your seats as well.”
The four of them sat down.
Before long, the kitchen delivered two steaming hot dishes, one was a braised seabass and the other was stir-fried shrimp.
“Mr.
Chen, our small canteen naturally can’t compare to Mr.
Jin’s back kitchen,” Fang Yisong placed the two new dishes in front of Chen Cheng.
“Please make do for now.
When you have time, let’s have a proper meal together.”
Seeing Fang Yisong’s smile that was more radiant than a sunflower, Chen Cheng also knew the principle of not slapping a smiling face.
“Director Fang, you are thoughtful.”
Seizing the harmonious moment, Fang Yisong took the opportunity to express, “Mr.
Chen, if you ever need anything, just command us.
Although Director Xia and Manager Tong will be transferring, we will handle all business matters as usual.”
Chen Cheng nodded slightly, “Director Fang.”
“Go ahead.”
“I have something else to attend to.
I’ll leave after these last couple of bites.”
Fang Yisong understood and immediately got up to say goodbye, “Then I won’t bother you any further.
Enjoy your meal!
Take your time!”
After saying this, he left the room and even closed the door behind him.
Once Tong Jialu and the others left, their faces revealed the most brilliant smiles.
“Brother Cheng!
You’re too awesome!
A few words and Lao Fang obediently complied!” she said in a hushed tone, “You don’t know how much he loves to discuss work with employees during meals!”
Xia Yubing nibbled on a piece of corn cob, “Xiao Lu, you aren’t considering who we’re following now.”
Chen Cheng was somewhat surprised.
He turned his head to look at the still expressionless face and teased, “That’s a rare one!
Now even Director Xia is handing out compliments!”
“It depends on who it’s for.”
Xia Yubing replied, and the chill on her face melted away, making her whole demeanor bright and sunny.
Ding ling ling.
Chen Cheng’s phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Good day, sir.
This is Flash Delivery.
Your order has arrived; could you come out to collect it?” the delivery guy asked.
“I didn’t buy anything?” Chen Cheng responded.
The delivery guy confirmed the name of the recipient, “Chen Cheng, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then it’s for you.”
“In that case, you can leave it at Fennel Noodle House.”
“Noodle House?
Was it not the Zhongguancun branch of Jingfa Bank?” The delivery guy reconfirmed the delivery address, “In this area, I haven’t seen any noodle house!”
Chen Cheng put down his chopsticks, feeling a bit lost, “Alright, I’ll come out.”
“Thank you, sir.”
After hanging up, Chen Cheng was about to get up when Chen Donghai wiped his mouth, “Mr.
Chen, let me go.”
Chen Cheng nodded, “It’s just outside.”
About seven or eight minutes later, Chen Donghai came back with a small box.
“Mr.
Chen, I’ve collected it.”
Chen Cheng took it and weighed it in his hand; it wasn’t heavy.
He glanced at the information on the order and murmured, “This is purchased by Wen Shulin.”
The two sisters immediately threw puzzled looks, “She bought it?”
“What is it?”
The package was labeled as ‘daily necessities.’
Chen Cheng tore off the tape and pulled out the contents.
The product box was cute, with a cartoon monster on it.
Chen Cheng studied it before opening it again.
Another brown cloth bag appeared in the trio’s sight.
“This really is wrapped in layers,” Chen Cheng said, opening the last layer and took out the item inside.
But the next second, he somewhat regretted it.
The crescent-shaped object felt soft and squishy, giving off a skin-like touch.
Based on the movies he’d seen when he was younger, its shape was different from what he remembered, but it had a similar clever design.
“APP long-distance remote control…” Tong Jialu was quick-eyed and grabbed the instructions, turning red with embarrassment in an instant.
Xia Yubing snatched it away and placed it on her lap.
“You say this Miss Wen, she’s really quite interesting.” Chen Cheng teased, “If she was going to buy, she should have bought two!”
He looked at Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu, “Which one of you is going to use it?”
“I…”
“I…”
Chen Cheng saw the two of them mumbling with their heads down and found it unbelievable, “No way, you two are actually considering using it?”
