Chapter 411 Why did CEO Chen spend 100 million?
Her fingers were wrapped tightly and firmly pulled together. Zhou Yi looked up at Qin Shi.
He drove with one hand, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
The light from the streetlights outside kept falling on his face and gliding across his glasses. Zhou Yi suddenly felt that her brother seemed to have something on his mind.
After driving for twenty minutes, the car stopped outside an elegantly decorated, upscale Chinese restaurant.
Qin Shi had made a reservation, and as soon as they got out of the car, a valet drove it away, and a waiter led the two to the reserved private room.
The place is designed to be very elegant. As soon as you enter, you will see pavilions, towers, rockeries and flowing water. In these pavilions, towers and rockeries, you can see guests sitting, raising their cups and chatting happily.
It's like the places that scholars and poets of ancient times loved, full of leisure and elegance.
Zhou Yi and Qin Shi followed the waiter to the third floor of the building and entered a private room.
The waiter poured tea for the two of them, which had been prepared in advance, and brought over the snacks that Qin Shi had ordered.
The dishes were then served.
Qin Shi placed the snacks onto Zhou Yi's plate: "Try them."
Zhou Yi drank tea and looked at the furnishings inside.
This place is like an elegant pavilion from ancient times, with curtains, gauze, beaded curtains, a zither stand, and a screen—it has everything one would expect, creating a very artistic atmosphere.
The snacks were placed on the plate. Accompanied by that cool voice, Zhou Yi looked away and quickly said, "Brother, you haven't had dinner yet. You should eat. I've already had dinner."
As they talked, Zhou Yi put some snacks on Qin Shi's plate, a few at a time.
Qin Shi said, "Okay."
He picked up a pastry from the plate and ate it. Zhou Yi watched him eat, a smile spreading across her face, and then she ate her pastry too.
The dishes were served quickly, and Qin Shi ordered them according to Zhou Yi's taste.
As soon as the dishes were served, Zhou Yi put some food on Qin Shi's plate: "Brother, eat more."
"Ah."
He ate everything she put on his plate.
He also put some on her plate, and Zhou Yi ate it all.
The two didn't talk about anything else and just enjoyed their meal.
The night outside is getting deeper...
At this time, in Shancheng.
Dongyue Grand Restaurant.
A group of people escorted one person out of the restaurant.
The driver had already parked the car outside the restaurant and was waiting outside.
Upon seeing the person coming out of the restaurant, he immediately opened the back door of the car.
"Mr. Chen, please take care."
"Mr. Chen, see you again sometime."
"..."
Amidst a series of respectful words, Wenren Chen boarded the carriage.
The car drove away quickly.
"This time, that small Yu'an County is going to prosper."
As the car drove away from the restaurant and disappeared from sight, someone spoke up.
Once he spoke, the others joined in.
"Yes, I had heard about a good project before, and I thought it would be taken by Jianye Company. I didn't expect it to be Tiansheng. It's really unexpected."
"Ha, if Jianye Company takes over, this project is really doomed."
"That's right. Given the commotion Jianye Company caused before, how could the higher-ups dare to give them projects? If they were, the project would have been stillborn."
"However, I really didn't expect it to be Tiansheng that took the lead. This big shot would actually take a liking to such a small project."
"Yes, I heard that this big shot took a liking to this project for personal reasons. What personal reasons could make him willing to invest billions and personally handle this project?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled.
The assistant got into the car with Wenren Chen, and after sitting in the passenger seat, the assistant turned to Wenren Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, Zhou Jianye has already learned that you have taken over the cultural project in Yu'an County, and now he is trying to get close to you through various channels."
After Wenren Chen got into the car, he started looking at the documents. When his assistant said something, he replied, "Don't worry about him."
The assistant understood and said, "Okay."
The car drove to the hotel, and after about ten minutes, it stopped outside the hotel gate.
The assistant got out of the car and opened the back door. Wenren Chen closed the document: "Meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
Wenren Chen handed the documents to his assistant, draped his suit jacket over his wrist, and stepped into the hotel.
It was already 10 p.m.
Wenren Chen entered the elevator, went to the suite, put his coat on the sofa, took off his wristwatch, and went to the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
The night outside was quiet, and the city's hustle and bustle had fallen asleep in the deep darkness.
"Click."
Not long after, the bathroom door opened, and Wenren Chen, wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair, came out.
Instead of resting in bed, he went to the bar, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, drank most of it, and looked out at the night view.
Although the city was quiet, the lights outside shone brightly in the night, like a pair of clear black and white eyes filled with stars, twinkling and shimmering.
He looked at the lights outside, picked up his phone, and opened the message.
Zhou Yi: [Sir, Yuyu didn't cry. He had a lot of fun. We were away for so long, but he hasn't forgotten anything about returning to Qingbei Villa. He remembers everything and is very excited.]
Zhou Yi: [Look, Aunt Dong and I took him out to play, and he's very happy.]
In the chat box, Zhou Yi's words were accompanied by photos and videos.
Wenren Chen clicked on these photos and videos, looking at the little guy waving his little hands happily, and at Zhou Yi's smiling face with her eyes crinkled as she held the little guy.
He looked at the photos and videos one by one, his fingertip hovering over the bottom of the input box.
His eyes fell on the time in the upper right corner of his phone.
It's 10:15 p.m.
He glanced at the time, tapped the input box with his fingertip, typed two words, and sent them.
Yunzhou City.
A view from the clouds, in an elegant room.
Zhou Yi and Qin Shi were having a meal. When they had almost finished eating, Zhou Yi put down his chopsticks and picked up his teacup to drink some water.
Seeing that she had put down her chopsticks and looked at the unfinished dishes on the table, Qin Shi said, "Not to your liking?"
Zhou Yi didn't eat much; she mostly served Qin Shi and watched him eat.
It wasn't that she didn't like the dishes, but rather that she wasn't hungry; her stomach was full.
Zhou Yi shook her head, put down her teacup, and said, "It's delicious. These dishes are especially delicious and very well made. It's just that I'm not hungry, so I can't eat too much."
Qin Shi understood and said, "I'll bring you here next time you haven't eaten."
Zhou Yi smiled: "Then, brother, can I treat you next time?"
Looking at her gentle, smiling face, Qin Shi said, "Okay."
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up: "Then it's a deal, I'll treat you next time."
Qin Shi asked, "When?"
"Um……"
Zhou Yi recalled what Wenren Chen had said before he left, and then said, "Next..."
"Ding!"
The phone rings.
It was Zhou Yi's phone ringing. She had specially turned her phone from vibrate to ringtone and turned up the volume tonight, just in case Yu Yu woke up and didn't see her and cried.
Hearing the ringtone, Zhou Yi quickly looked at the phone placed beside her.
The phone screen lit up, clearly displaying the sender's name.
Mr.
It's not Aunt Dong.
Zhou Yi paused for a moment, then picked up her phone and carefully examined the person who sent the message.
It is indeed a gentleman.
She checked the time; it was past ten. Had her husband finished his work?
