Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 78 When did they start living together?

Shen Luo ran fast, but that only strengthened Cheng Mai's resolve to auction off the antiques.

She just needed to think carefully about how to proceed.

The main building of the Cheng family home is under reconstruction. Mr. Cheng is currently living in the north building, and the family's servants have been dismissed.

Inside the room, Cheng's father was talking to someone in a very low voice, but the person couldn't see him.

“Xuanhe Technology has gradually grown in scale. If this continues, all our plans over the years will be in vain. How are you going to explain this to the Dao Lord?”

Mr. Cheng didn't care about the threatening words. The blue flame of the lighter flickered. "You give me immortality, I'll give you money. That's our agreement. Nothing else is my business."

"But how much money do you have left? Even the Cheng Group isn't yours anymore." The man raised his voice slightly.

"According to the previous regulations, I will still give you the same amount every month. That has never changed. As for whether I have money or not, that is my business." As he spoke, Cheng's father turned around and locked onto a direction. "As for you, although I don't know who that Merchant Jian is, you should be careful of someone who can single-handedly dismantle the grand formation you designed over decades and easily dismember and break the Spirit Serpent Hall Master's bones."

Cheng's father's suggestion was not sincere, or rather, it was not sincere at all.

Smoke swirled in the air. The man was angered, but the black mist only dared to surround Cheng's father and didn't dare to actually do anything to him.

Cheng's father was not afraid. He returned to his desk and looked at the documents on it. "I want immortality, you want money. Other than that, we have no relationship. Go back and tell your Dao Lord that if he doesn't want to cooperate anymore and wants to kill me, then so be it. Expecting trash like Shen Yuanbai and Shang Jianxing to provide him with funds is simply a pipe dream."

The turbulent air in the room calmed down. Cheng's father knew that the man had left. He chuckled and left the study with the documents.

When money and power play a decisive role, the one who can make money is the talent that military strategists will fight for.

……

Yang Fan visited Zhu Biao and brought back a message: Zhu Biao said that Chairman Cheng was too kind. He had a groundbreaking ceremony for a new shopping mall next week, followed by a cocktail party, and asked Cheng Mai to do him the honor of attending.

"Another shopping mall?" Cheng Mai's eyes reddened with envy. It hadn't been that long, and they had already bought two plots of land to build shopping malls.

“Mr. Zhu started his business in real estate, so he already owns a lot of land. Although housing prices have been tight in recent years, due to policy issues, the plots of land that Mr. Zhu owned have become highly sought-after locations because of the southward shift of the city center, and shopping malls and buildings are gradually being built on them,” Yang Fan explained.

Cheng Mai has transformed into a red-eyed monster; no wonder Zhu Biao is being targeted—he's just too rich!
"I definitely didn't charge him enough before," Cheng Mai muttered to himself. Who knew he was a hidden big shot?

"What?" Yang Fan didn't hear the sentence clearly.

"It's nothing. Just tell President Zhu that I'll definitely be there on time next week." Cheng Mai patted his face, chasing away his jealousy. "Compile a list of all our current partners' information and send it to me."

"Okay, I'll go do it now." Yang Fan replied and left.

After seeing the person leave, Cheng Mai returned to his desk, turned on his computer, and checked the Zhu Group. The Zhu Group's ranking in City A was not high, so few people paid attention to it.

Moreover, Zhu Biao is a chubby, carefree person who doesn't seem like someone who knows how to do business.

"Tell me, how much money does Zhu Biao actually have now?" Cheng Mai asked, resting his chin on his hand.

"I don't know, but I can have President Shen check." General Meng An was always willing to answer questions, and even if he didn't know the answer himself, he could offer other solutions. "Instead of waiting for her to check, you might as well ask me directly." Shang Xingjian pushed open the door and waved the access card in his hand. "It's alright, they didn't cancel it for me."

Cheng Mai looked at the person who had disappeared for several days and remained silent for a moment.

General Meng An stood up with a thought in his mind, "Since the boss is back, I'll head back now."

Recently, the number of ghost soldiers has increased, and he has more things to do.

Shang Xingjian waved for him to go back first, then strolled over to Cheng Mai's side. "Zhu Biao, why are you suddenly interested in him?"

On the computer screen, there's still a photo of Zhu Biao smiling like Maitreya Buddha.

Cheng Mai seemed to just realize what was happening, and seeing that the person looked quite well, it didn't seem like they had gone to fight.

"What did you go to do?" Cheng Mai couldn't help but ask.

"I met an old friend, it's not important." Shang Xingjian stood behind Cheng Mai, placed one hand on the back of her hand, and scrolled down a few times with the mouse to see how Zhu Biao was described in the encyclopedia.

Cheng Mai: "..." Does this man have absolutely no sense of boundaries now?

The little golden dragon encircling Shang Xingjian's wrist circled twice and asked with its divine sense, "Why doesn't the Divine Lord tell her? This is a perfect opportunity to be cherished."

As soon as the little golden dragon finished speaking, it realized that it could no longer speak with its divine sense. It whimpered twice and finally quieted down, but inwardly it muttered to itself, "The Divine Lord is such a repressed pervert."

Seeing that there wasn't much information on Zhu Biao, before Cheng Mai got angry, Shang Xingjian very "prudently" let him go and leaned against the table, saying, "He earns a lot, spends a lot, and saves little, so no one will target him."

Cheng Mai's abnormal heartbeat gradually returned to normal after his departure, and he also clearly heard what Shang Xingjian said.

"You mean Zhu Biao knew all along that having money would attract attention, so from the beginning he was able to make money, but also spend it all?" If that's the case, then in the entire city of A, Zhu Biao is probably the only smart person.

"Great wisdom appears as foolishness. Zhu Biao is a remarkable man." Shang Xingjian tapped the table; at least he hadn't noticed this person before.

"But Zhu Biao came to us on his own initiative. What does he mean by that?" Cheng Mai remembered that the first time he met Zhu Biao was because he felt that there was something unclean around him, so he came to them to exorcise evil spirits.

"I'm going to his banquet next week. We'll find out when I get there." Shang Xingjian smiled slightly, stretched, and yawned. "I haven't slept well for days. I'm going to take a nap."

Cheng Mai: "..." Why can't he go home by himself when he goes to sleep? Why does he have to come and mooch off her rest room?
“By the way,” Shang Xingjian took a few steps and suddenly turned back to look at Cheng Mai, “I know you’re short of money lately. To save money, I’ve cancelled my lease. I can save seven or eight thousand a month. From now on, I’ll live with you.”

"Shangxing Jian!" Cheng Mai exclaimed in shock, wondering what he had just heard.
Does she lack his seven or eight thousand yuan?

No, it's not about money. Did she agree to live with him?

That's not right either, when did they start living together?

She's made this person so angry she's lost her mind!
