Chapter 232: Chapter 181 A Set After Another_3
"Comrade, I have photos from the dinner that night."
She opened the photo album and showed the photos to the staff, before continuing, "As for the shopping card, I don’t have evidence anymore."
"Lao Zheng, look at the fine employee you’ve hired!"
Feng Biao pointed at Coach Wang and furiously scolded Lao Zheng, "Is this what you meant by Yunda Driving School’s ’service first, integrity foremost’?"
Lao Zheng was mortified and wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.
He never expected that such a thing could happen at his driving school, which he had always taken such pride in!
"Leaders, I’m wrong! I will certainly punish the guilty without leniency, and will not tolerate any wrongdoing!" Lao Zheng quickly assured, nodding and bowing.
"Miss, what are your demands?" asked the representative from the supervisory office to Xiao Meier.
Xiao Meier tightened her grip on Chen Cheng’s hand, "I just want to practice driving fairly, and then for the coach to teach me the real skills of driving."
"Miss Xiao, rest assured! I will change your instructor immediately, and guarantee you..." Lao Zheng hurried to say.
Chen Cheng ignored him, turned to the staff of the Market Supervision Bureau, and said, "Everyone, thank you for taking care of today’s matter."
After speaking, he left first with Xiao Meier.
"Lao Zheng! Oh, Lao Zheng! You have completely disgraced me!" Feng Biao also stood up and walked towards the door.
Back on the roadside, Xiao Meier said to Chen Cheng, "Honey, should we take everyone out for a meal later?"
"Of course!" Chen Cheng replied with a smile.
"Then I’ll tell Zhao Ling to reserve the private room."
Chen Cheng nodded, and Xiao Meier took out her phone, "Right, Xiao Meng, should we also invite her? To properly thank her?"
"Whatever you like; I’m fine with it."
Xiao Meier let out a sigh of relief, and Chen Cheng put his arm around her shoulder, "As for this driving school, let’s not come here anymore. We’ll find another one."
"Okay, I’ll follow your arrangements."
Xiao Meier said softly, "Were you smoking just now because you were worried about this issue for me? Did I cause you trouble, husband?"
"No, this matter is nothing."
"Then what’s a big issue?" Xiao Meier asked with concern, "Did something happen? Is it because things aren’t going well with Mei Xiang? I haven’t even had the chance to ask you!"
Chen Cheng: "The contract is signed, and I’ve given her the money. But..."
"But what?"
Chen Cheng looked into Xiao Meier’s eyes, "I might have to go there again after a while. The issue isn’t fully resolved."
Xiao Meier was aware that Hoshino Mika was demanding no small sum, at least the two billion was an astronomical figure unimaginable to her.
"Yeah, you go ahead with your work," Xiao Meier said understandingly.
"Old sis, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out first," Feng Biao came over.
Xiao Meier invited him, "Join us for dinner tonight! Xiao Cheng has returned, and you guys haven’t had drinks yet!"
"Alright, I’ve been waiting for you to say that!"
Chen Cheng said with a smile, "He’s been waiting for a while."
"Invite Yingzi as well." He added.
Feng Biao looked at the time, "Then I’ll go pick her up, and we’ll meet at Wanbao Hall."
"Okay."
Ding Chaohui was also waiting for the officials from the supervisory bureau to come out. After Xiao Meier made the call, she said to Chen Cheng, "Then I’ll go call Xiao Meng."
"Okay."
Chen Cheng walked over to Chen Donghai, "Xiao Hai."
"Mr. Chen."
"Go check on Meng Wanning." Chen Cheng instructed, "See if she..."
"Understood."
"I haven’t even finished speaking, how could you understand?" Chen Cheng asked with a smile.
Chen Donghai nodded, "I understand."
Chen Cheng patted Chen Donghai’s shoulder, "Reliable."
Not long after, Xiao Meier and Meng Wanning came out, too.
"Xiao Meng, thank you for today." Xiao Meier said with a smile, "If you hadn’t bravely stepped forward, we really wouldn’t have had any evidence."
Meng Wanning replied, "Sister, you are too courteous."
"Stop calling me sister and stop with the formalities," Xiao Meier laughed heartily, "Just call me Sister E’er."
"Yeah, Sister E’er."
The two approached Chen Cheng and Xiao Meier said, "Husband, Xiao Meng has agreed."
"Great, let’s get in the car," Chen Cheng said as he naturally got into the passenger seat, waving at Ding Chaohui, who was not too far away.
The two of them understood and Ding Chaohui nodded.
Xiao Hai was driving, and Xiao Meier and Meng Wanning still sat in the back.
"Xiao Meng, you’ll have to eat more later," Xiao Meier suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, do you have any dietary restrictions? Since you sing opera, are there many things you can’t eat?"
Meng Wanning: "I don’t eat spicy food, and I also don’t eat cilantro."
Hearing this, Xiao Meier said, "I’ll let the kitchen know."
"Sister E’er, you own a restaurant too?" Meng Wanning asked in surprise.
"Xiao Cheng got it for me, Wanbao Hall."
Xiao Meier smiled sweetly, "It used to be a Sichuan cuisine restaurant, but now they serve all kinds of cuisines, and the flavors are all really good."
She thought for a moment, "How about Cantonese dishes?"
"Sure."
"Then I’ll prepare a separate meal for you. The other guys can handle spicy food."
Xiao Meier took out her phone, showing Meng Wanning the menu from her photo album, "Have a look, this is this week’s menu, you can order whatever you like."
"I’m not fussy, Meier Jie, you can arrange whatever."
"How can that be? You are a distinguished guest, you should do the ordering."
Xiao Meier handed her phone to Meng Wanning, "Look, our Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and white cut chicken, and this pigeon, steamed grouper are all not bad, very fresh."
Meng Wanning took the phone and casually browsed through the menu.
Actually, she isn’t very particular about food, aside from not being able to stand spicy food and coriander, everything else is okay.
But looking at those exquisite food photos on the menu, and the prices listed below, she couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim.
These dishes, just one dish costs several hundreds.
"Meier Jie, these dishes, they are all so expensive..." Meng Wanning couldn’t help but say.
Xiao Meier chuckled and waved her hand, "It’s okay, just order whatever you want, today is my treat."
"How can I accept this..." Meng Wanning felt a bit embarrassed.
"What’s there not to accept? Just consider it thanks for your help today."
Xiao Meier said, "Right, hubby?"
Chen Cheng, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Order whatever you like, just try it out."
"Alright then..." Upon hearing Chen Cheng speak up, Meng Wanning ordered a relatively inexpensive Hundred Flowers Honey Pigeon.
"Just this one?"
Xiao Meier saw she was still reserved, "Then I’ll let the kitchen get ready, you should try it later."
As she spoke, she ordered several of Wanbao Hall’s famous Cantonese dishes for Meng Wanning.
After sending a message to Zhao Ling, Xiao Meier turned back to Meng Wanning and said, "Right, Xiao Meng, what would you like to drink later? We have red wine, white wine..."
"Meier Jie, I don’t drink alcohol."
"Not drinking makes sense!" Xiao Meier realized, "Then how about trying my newly made dessert?"
"Meier Jie can also make desserts?"
Xiao Meier confidently replied, "Yeah! The orange peel red bean paste made a while ago was very popular! It’s gotten cooler now, so I changed it to double-skin milk."
Chen Cheng joined in from the front seat, "I haven’t even tried it, and you’ve already released it?"
"Hmph, the day lilies will have cooled down by the time you come back!"
Meng Wanning couldn’t help feeling a bit envious listening to their playful banter.
But even more so, she was puzzled.
The Xiao Meier next to her was beautiful and enthusiastic, and Chen Cheng clearly already had such a partner, so what was the deal with the priceless box of pumpkin seeds?
She glanced at the back of Chen Cheng’s head, her thoughts growing more muddled.
"Xiao Meng? Xiao Meng?"
"Huh? What is it, Meier Jie?"
Xiao Meier’s eyes were smiling, "Double-skin milk, can you eat that?"
"I can, no problem."
"Great!"
She thought for a moment, "I’m going to change driving schools. You reported Coach Wang today..."
"Meier Jie, aren’t you learning to drive here anymore?"
Xiao Meier shook her head, "Xiao Cheng said to change, so I’ll follow her advice."
"Then..."
"Miss Meng, if you want to change your driving school as well, I’ll have that friend we just talked to handle it for us," said Chen Cheng without turning his head.
"Yes! He’s the one who looks tall and chubby and seems very fierce!" Xiao Meier nodded her head in agreement.
Meng Wanning glanced at Xiao Meier’s earnest gaze, "Alright, I’ll change along with Meier Jie."
"That’s great, we can learn to drive together again!" Xiao Meier was very happy, "We’re driving buddies!"
"Yeah." Meng Wanning nodded silently.
Chen Cheng’s eyes darted around, "Miss Meng, give me your ID card, and I’ll have my friend take care of it. Once it’s done, I’ll return it to you."
Meng Wanning took it out from her small bag.
She passed it carefully to Chen Cheng in the front seat.
Chen Cheng turned slightly, met that indescribable gaze, and took it from her.
"Xiao Cheng, make sure to keep Miss Meng’s ID card safe, and don’t lose it!" Xiao Meier instructed.
"Don’t worry, I won’t," Chen Cheng replied.
He took a quick glance at the information and address on it, "23 years old? From Minhang District?"
Thinking back to the educational background Meng Wanning had recounted some time ago, Chen Cheng was inwardly puzzled, speculating, "So how did she end up in Beijing?"
