Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 270 - 193: New Heights for the Fund Pool

"Woke up? I thought you would sleep a bit longer."

As Xiao Meier saw Chen Cheng sitting in the front yard, she smiled, stood up, and said, "I’ll go and serve you a bowl of porridge. Would you like an egg too?"

Chen Cheng waved his hand.

He sat on the stone bench, watching Xiao Meier heading to the small kitchen, feeling very touched.

Soon, Xiao Meier came out with a bowl of white porridge and a plate of refreshing pickles, placing it in front of Chen Cheng, "Still feeling unwell?"

"How did I get back last night?" Chen Cheng asked hoarsely.

Xiao Meier touched his head, "Xiao Hai brought you back. Have some porridge to warm up your stomach."

"Okay."

The two sat side by side, with Xiao Meier eating and speaking, "Oh, last night Sister Lin called you. You should call her back later."

"Mhm."

"Also, any news from Mr. Jin?" Xiao Meier put down her chopsticks, turning her head to look at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng: "I’ve asked. He’s still not done with his business dealings, and it’ll be a while before he returns."

Xiao Meier sighed in relief, "It’s good to have some news."

Chen Cheng drank his porridge, "Did you make this early this morning?"

"Yeah, I thought about how you drank too much last night, and it’s getting into autumn. It’s good to have some porridge in the morning to soothe the stomach."

Xiao Meier smiled softly, "If you still feel unwell later, you can go back to your room and lie down a bit longer, and I’ll make you some honey water."

"No need," Chen Cheng, who had been pretending to be drunk, chuckled and said, "Your lovingly made porridge works better than anything."

"Don’t drink so much in the future, your body can’t handle it."

"Yes, ma’am!"

Xiao Meier: "Stop joking around, eat."

The simple meal marked the start of a new day for Chen Cheng.

"Are you going to the shop later?" Xiao Meier asked while cleaning up the dishes.

Chen Cheng brewed himself a cup of tea, setting it on the table, "I have some errands to run later, won’t be going." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Xiao Meier nodded, "It seems you’ve been very busy since you came back."

Chen Cheng walked over to Xiao Meier, took the dishes from her hands, "I just got back, lots to handle."

He put the dishes into the sink, turned back to look at Xiao Meier, "You’ve been working hard these days, taking care of the shop, and me..."

"I’m not blaming you, just worried about your health."

Xiao Meier continued, "Your meals are irregular, plus all the socializing. How can your stomach take it?"

Listening to Xiao Meier’s slightly reproachful words, a warm current surged in Chen Cheng’s heart.

"That’s why I need to have more of Er’s loving porridge."

He wrapped his arms around Xiao Meier’s waist, both hugging tightly, "Not just nourishing for the stomach, but for the heart too."

Xiao Meier playfully punched Chen Cheng’s chest, "Later, I’ll cook millet porridge for you, millet is really nourishing."

"Sure, whatever you say."

Xiao Meier glanced at her Daytona watch, "Then I’ll head to the shop, just leave the dishes here."

Chen Cheng let go, "It’s okay, I can wash them."

"Should I leave then?"

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."

"Mhm!"

Chen Cheng washed the dishes, feeling that only the times spent with Xiao Meier carried such a sense of stability and reality.

"This is life, I guess!" he sighed.

After putting away the dishes, Chen Cheng returned to the front yard, sat on the stone bench, and took out his phone.

He didn’t call Wen Shulin immediately, instead, he opened various social media platforms to see the outcomes.

His guess was correct.

CGG had issued an announcement overnight and already contacted the police, turning the scandal into a personal criminal case.

Moreover, the swift change in public sentiment was astonishing.

The netizens who criticized CGG the day before were now the paragons of justice, denouncing Zhang Puhua’s shameful actions.

Watching the comments online, Chen Cheng’s mouth curled up.

He then sent a message to Wen Shulin, just three words, "Congratulations."

Putting down the phone, Chen Cheng took a deep breath.

He stretched, "At least there’s a result now."

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Donghai approached then, Chen Cheng looked at him, "Didn’t you escort Xiao Er?"

"She said you had errands to run, and since you drank last night, you shouldn’t drive today. So, she asked me to drive you," Chen Donghai replied, "She took a cab to the shop."

Chen Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, let’s go to the hospital first."

"Okay."

Chen Cheng stood up, "Oh right, I haven’t asked you."

"Ask away."

"Got a girlfriend yet?"

Chen Donghai paused for a half-second, "No."

"Have someone you like?"

Chen Donghai still shook his head, "No."

Chen Cheng patted Chen Donghai’s shoulder, "You don’t always have to think about work; you should also think about your personal life."

Chen Donghai scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, I’m not in a rush."

"Not in a rush? In a few years, the good girls will all be taken." Chen Cheng joked half-seriously, "Hasn’t your family been urging you?"

"They have."

"See? When you find someone suitable, go on a date. Be proactive. If you need money, just tell me."

Chen Donghai: "Mr. Chen, you’ve already given me a lot."

Chen Cheng smiled lightly, "Judging from your performance last night, I think it’s not enough."

"That’s what I’m supposed to do."

"Hahaha. Let’s go."

The two drove to the hospital.

Chen Cheng went there intending to tell Jin Baogen right away that the matters were settled.

But when he arrived in front of the ICU ward, he found that Jin Baogen was already on ECMO.

Seeing the regular rise and fall of the ventilator and the various tubes connected to Jin Baogen’s body, Chen Cheng knew this was Jin Baogen’s last chance.

He turned and walked to the doctor’s office, upon meeting Doctor Chu from last time, he asked with great concern, "Doctor Chu, I wanted to ask about Jin Baogen’s condition."

"You came just in time,"

Doctor Chu remembered Chen Cheng, invited him to sit down, and while speaking, "We’ve started ECMO, opened the airway for gas exchange, allowing his heart and lungs to rest temporarily."
