Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely

Liu Zhiya heard her sister's proposal, her eyes instantly lit up, subconsciously grabbing his sleeve and gently shaking it: "Brother Cheng, is that okay? Come back with us, my parents are really nice people and will definitely welcome you warmly. Plus, there are so many fun New Year's customs in our hometown that I'm sure you'll enjoy."

Chen Cheng was taken aback for a half-second, "Go back with you guys?"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

Chen Cheng looked at those two pairs of expectant eyes, "In what capacity?"

Liu Zhiying spoke a second faster, "Boyfriend."

"Brother-in-law." Liu Zhiya was a second slower in response, taking on the identity herself.

Chen Cheng stopped walking, and helplessly smiled.

The Liu sisters came to their senses immediately after seeing Chen Cheng's smile.

The man they liked was not a peer, and he was not single. The women around him were all outstanding. Realizing their slip of the tongue, the two sisters' faces flushed with an awkward blush.

Liu Zhiya hurriedly let go of Chen Cheng's sleeve, her gaze shifting uncertainly, she softly explained, "Um... Brother Cheng, we were just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."

Liu Zhiying also chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Brother Cheng, we were just kidding."

After speaking, she sneaked a glance at Chen Cheng and found that his smile seemed even deeper, causing her to feel a bit nervous.

Chen Cheng looked at their embarrassed expressions and found it amusing internally, but also understood their thoughts.

He paused for a moment and spoke gently, "I understand what you mean, I'd love to spend New Year with you too. However, given my current situation... it's not quite appropriate."

Liu Zhiya and Liu Zhiying exchanged a glance, both seeing the disappointment in each other's eyes.

They understood Chen Cheng's predicament, and although aware that their proposal was a bit abrupt, they couldn't help feeling a bit regretful.

"It's okay, Brother Cheng, we understand." Liu Zhiying forced a smile.

"Yeah, Brother Cheng, don't worry about it." Liu Zhiya echoed.

Looking at their deliberate lightheartedness, Chen Cheng felt some remorse and after thinking for a bit, said:

"How about this, you two go back obediently for New Year. Once the fifteenth of the Lunar New Year is over, I'll arrange for someone to bring you back, how about that?"

Upon hearing Chen Cheng's proposal, the sisters' eyes lit up again. "Really?" they asked in unison.

"Of course it's true." Chen Cheng affirmed with a smile: "When have I ever lied to both of you?"

"That's great!"

"Then it's settled!"

Liu Zhiying smiled happily, she said: "Brother Cheng, how about coming to the place where we live? I'll ask auntie to make a couple of dishes, you can stay, and Xiao Ya and I will accompany you for dinner."

Chen Cheng glanced at the time, "I'm afraid it's too late, I have things to do in the afternoon."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Just eat at your school." Chen Cheng smiled: "That counts as accompanying me, right?"

"Mm!"

"Alright!"

Once at the cafeteria, Liu Zhiya took Xiao Ying's meal card to get food, while Chen Cheng and Liu Zhiying sat at a spot.

"Brother Cheng, do you have things to do this afternoon? It seems like you've been quite busy lately, it's been a while since you've visited me." she said.

"It's been a little busy lately, need to go sign a contract this afternoon." Chen Cheng replied: "Why, did you miss me?"

"Of course I did, but..."

Liu Zhiying paused, "But there's nothing we can do. Xiao Ya and I understand that you're busy and have many unavoidable commitments."

"However, it's okay, I have Xiao Ya with me." she said with a bitter smile.

Chen Cheng looked at Liu Zhiying's forced strength and felt a wave of compassion.

He reached out to touch her head, saying: "Silly girl, don't be so considerate that you make people feel distressed. Even though I'm busy, I've always thought of you."

Feeling Chen Cheng's tenderness, Liu Zhiying softly replied: "Brother Cheng, I know we shouldn't have those unrealistic thoughts, but sometimes it's really hard to control."

"I actually envy Xiao Meier a lot, she can be by your side at any moment." she lamented: "If only I had met you first."

What Liu Zhiying shared was a wish among all the women who were in love with him.

Everyone wants to meet Chen Cheng first and play the role of Xiao Meier.

But the order of appearance in life is often quite peculiar, as if predestined. Coincidentally or not, it was Xiao Meier who was first.

"Let me think." Chen Cheng pretended to ponder, "If you were the first, you would have been... eight years old?"

Liu Zhiying was taken aback and then reacted, bursting into laughter, "Brother Cheng, you're awful! I was only eight then, and you were..."

She counted on her fingers, "You were eighteen!"

"Exactly! In the prime of youth. And you were just a little girl, with a runny nose too, wasn't it?"

"No, I wasn't! I was beautiful when I was little!"

Just then, Liu Zhiya came over with a tray and seeing them laughing so happily, curiously asked, "What are you chatting about that's so funny?"

"Nothing much, just chatting with Brother Cheng about some fun childhood stories."

Liu Zhiying changed the topic: "Brother Cheng, what contract are you signing this afternoon?"

"Just a small contract," Chen Cheng said casually, "only a few tens of billions."

"A few... tens of billions?" Liu Zhiya almost couldn't hold onto her tray, but luckily Chen Cheng quickly steadied it.

Liu Zhiying's eyes widened in disbelief, "Brother Cheng, are you kidding?"

Tens of billions worth of a contract, what does that even mean?

They simply couldn't imagine it.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Not kidding, it's just an ordinary resource exchange."

To him, a project worth tens of billions really didn't count as an earth-shattering event.

Liu Zhiya and Liu Zhiying glanced at each other, seeing the shock and admiration in each other's eyes.

They knew Chen Cheng was wealthy, but they didn't expect him to be that rich; it was beyond their comprehension.

"Brother Cheng, you're amazing!" Liu Zhiying earnestly praised.

Liu Zhiya nodded in agreement, her eyes full of admiration.

Looking at their admiring eyes, Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit proud, but he maintained a casual demeanor, "It's nothing, just good luck."

"Luck is part of strength," Liu Zhiying said with a smile.

She thought of something, "Brother Cheng, can we watch you sign the contract this afternoon?"

"Yeah, Brother Cheng, is it just like in the movies... " Liu Zhiya said excitedly, "suits, long conference table, then signing fast, it's so thrilling to think about!"

Liu Zhiying nodded along, "Yeah, Brother Cheng, we've never seen a real business signing ceremony, take us to broaden our horizons!"

Seeing their eager eyes, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You guys, really curious about everything."

He thought for a while, "Alright, I'll take you to see. Coincidentally, you know the person signing."

"We know them?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

The two sisters quickly searched their minds for names. The people they knew around Chen Cheng were only those women.

And among them, Liu Zhiya's first intuition was Wen Shulin.

"Is it Chairman Wen?" she asked.

Chen Cheng shook his head.

"Then... Li Ya?" Liu Zhiying guessed, "When I saw her last time, she seemed rich. But she's about our age, how would she sign a contract with you?"

Chen Cheng still shook his head.

"Brother Cheng, tell us already~ who is it?" Liu Zhiya asked curiously.

"It's Mei Xiang," Chen Cheng gave the answer.

The two sisters gaped in surprise, not expecting that girl from Japan would do business with Chen Cheng.

"Surprised?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Yes!" They nodded vigorously.

Liu Zhiying said, "Mei Xiang is always so low-key, and she's about our age, I never imagined..."

"Yeah, and isn't she staying at Li Ya's house?" Liu Zhiya asked.
