Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 191 - 167 Chen Cheng, Be Serious_3

"So, the 2 billion investment you’re seeing is actually the opening of a gateway to a world of greater benefits. And you, as the key to this gate, will play an extremely important role."

Chen Cheng suddenly realized, upon hearing this. The stage set up by Jin Baogen was not only a springboard for himself but also compensation for Wen Shulin.

"I didn’t expect Mr. Jin to..." Chen Cheng trailed off, his face showing a complex expression.

Wen Shulin said with composure, "Mr. Jin’s art of balancing is not something ordinary people can learn. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been at peace for so many years, abiding by our unwritten rules."

She curved the corners of her mouth into a smile, leaning forward,

"This time, Mr. Jin made money, you gained fame, CGG got what it wanted, and Xingye Products solved a problem."

"And all this is just a brilliant arrangement in the vicissitudes of the business sea." Wen Shulin’s words carried a touch of admiration for Mr. Jin’s strategy, as well as an expectation for the unfolding actions.

"Each of us has found our position within this grand scheme, weaving together a complex web of interests."

"But then again," she changed the subject,

"This is not just about the game of interests, it’s also a test of trust, cooperation, and mutual benefit."

"Although Mei Xiang holds reservations about us, she is also an indispensable member of this chess game. What you need to do is to make her believe that this is not just a simple injection of funds, but the starting point for Xingye Products’ future ascent."

Chen Cheng leaned back in his chair, deeply understanding that there is no such thing as free assistance in business.

"So we’re in the same boat?" Chen Cheng asked with a laugh.

Wen Shulin nodded emphatically, "Moreover, there’s another reason."

"What is it?"

"If you successfully take over Xingye Products, and CGG successfully purchases your shares, then I will get nominated at the next shareholder’s meeting and step up from a joint director to become the chairman of the board of CGG."

Chen Cheng looked into Wen Shulin’s eager eyes, "So that’s your goal!"

"This is a rare opportunity, ever since Piert..." freewebnoveℓ.com

Wen Shulin glanced at Chen Cheng’s reaction, and upon seeing him nod, continued: "After Piert’s death, the chairmanship of CGG has always been rotational."

"Like Pan Shi’s Wang Xinan?"

Wen Shulin nodded in acknowledgment, "I don’t want to rotate; I want real power of speech."

"I’ve already made the necessary arrangements within the board, and the votes are almost guaranteed. I need a significant project to prove myself to the board."

"And Xingye is the perfect opportunity."

She took a deep breath, "Chen Cheng, I hope you can help me this time, to secure that position."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng’s brows furrowed deeply.

Wen Shulin was not only his close companion, she was also that same woman who had never changed, giving her all for the life she wanted.

"How much money has to be earned to be enough?"

Wen Shulin shook her head, "What I want is not money, but recognition."

Chen Cheng looked at Wen Shulin, his eyes filled with puzzlement: "Recognition? In my opinion, you’re already excellent, who do you need to prove anything to?"

"Those who say I started out as a mistress."

Chen Cheng was startled, not expecting Wen Shulin to suddenly bring this up.

He composed himself and said, "Why care about what those people say? They are simply jealous of your achievements."

Wen Shulin chuckled bitterly, "But their words are like thorns, stuck in my heart."

Chen Cheng sighed lightly, "Then I’ll have to work hard."

"Have you promised me?" The delight in Wen Shulin’s eyes flickered.

Chen Cheng leaned forward, "Since I could take off your underwear, I can also help you pull out these thorns."

Wen Shulin blushed slightly and chided with mock severity, "Even at a time like this, you can’t be serious." But the joy in her eyes became even more evident.

Chen Cheng sat up straight, his expression turning solemn, "But this matter is not simple, we need to plan carefully, can’t afford a single mistake."

Wen Shulin nodded, "I know, as long as you’re willing to help me, we can work together and surely make it happen."

Chen Cheng looked at Wen Shulin’s demeanor with interest, a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, "Shulin, you look like a little girl waiting for candy."

Wen Shulin’s cheeks reddened even more at his words.

She intended to punch Chen Cheng lightly, but since they were still at CGG, she opted to kick him playfully under the table with her high heel instead.

"Stop joking at a time like this."

She paused, her eyes filled with trust and reliance on Chen Cheng, "But indeed, with you by my side, I do feel a lot more at ease."

The two shared a smile, and Chen Cheng said, "Then our relationship can no longer just be considered as two people who’ve slept together."

Wen Shulin gave Chen Cheng a feigned look of annoyance, "What do you mean ’slept together’, you make it sound so unpleasant."

She pouted adorably, "Don’t our interactions have emotions?"

"Hahaha." Chen Cheng laughed, whispering, "It’s you who always calls me by my full name, which makes me feel distant."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shulin’s cheeks instantly blushed crimson, she spat lightly, but the affection in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.

"Chen Cheng, be serious! We’re discussing important matters!"

She said softly, "I’m all yours, yet you still tease me."

Chen Cheng put away his smile, but his gaze still held a playful glint, "Okay, okay."

He patted the chair, "These CGG chairs are too hard, they make my back hurt."

"Shall we change the location?" Wen Shulin asked with a raised eyebrow.

Chen Cheng, however, was serious, "Don’t start, didn’t you want me to be serious?"

Wen Shulin bit her lip, "You really are both lovable and detestable! You know how to make someone’s heart itch."

Chen Cheng smiled, "Can’t help it, who made you mine?"
