Chapter 127 seems to be all benefits.
Holding his phone, Lu Zhixing was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Chen Cheng was also greatly shocked by President Zhang's vision. He had asked him for help, but he didn't expect him to do much. Even if he could only solve a few thousand tons for Lu Zhixing, it would still be a great favor.

Unexpectedly, they went all the way and prepared 60,000 tons for Lu Zhixing!

Sixty thousand tons of coal, that's over ten million. Once this batch of coal arrives, it will not only make up for Lu Zhixing's half share, but also give him the opportunity to take over the other half.

Of course, the coal was provided, but whether Lu Zhixing could take over the other party's share depended on his own abilities.

But for Mr. Zhang, this is not just about helping. Once Lu Zhixing takes over all the shares of Fancheng Power Plant, it means that his annual coal demand will double. At that time, he will also become a stable and large-scale customer of Yuanteng Group.

Over the phone, Manager Qiu subtly reminded him, "Mr. Lu, our General Manager Zhang is generously donating money to you out of friendship, and hopes that our cooperation will be even closer after this is done."

"sure!"

After recovering from his shock, Lu Zhixing, forgetting his excitement, hurriedly said, "Manager Qiu, don't worry, as long as I, Lu Zhixing, am still in the coal business, I will definitely purchase coal from Yuanteng!"

Manager Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll wait for your notification regarding the 40,000 tons."

"Thank you... thank you so much, Manager Qiu! You're so kind of me!"

Lu Zhixing felt a sense of unreality at that moment.

The problem that had been bothering me for so long, the one that I couldn't solve no matter what I tried, has now been solved?
Moreover, it might even help me double my share!
Recalling the hardships he had endured over the past few days in raising money and asking for help, and the frustration of being turned down everywhere, even in front of his daughter, Lu Zhixing's eyes welled up with tears.

But then he thought about it again. Chen Cheng, who dared to ask his daughter for a million yuan at the age of eighteen, simply made a phone call from the back and solved the problem completely, even exceeding the amount he owed. He felt very ashamed.

They've been making veiled criticisms for ages, but they've ended up attacking the wrong person!

Lu Youyou was overjoyed, her little fists clenched tightly, her face beaming with excitement.

She could tell that her father's problem had been solved, and it was Chen Cheng who had solved it, so she no longer needed to feel guilty towards her father for lending Chen Cheng that million.

After hanging up with Manager Qiu, Lu Zhixing looked at Chen Cheng with gratitude and respect.

As for Qin Xiaobo, if he hadn't been driving a bit too fast, he really would have liked to push open the door and jump out; he simply couldn't bear the humiliation...

He didn't even dare to look at Chen Cheng, his eyes were fixed on the window, and he was panicking.

Chen Cheng had just sent a text message to Zhang Qishuo. The message was short, containing only six words: "Brother Zhang, thank you so much!"
Zhang Qishuo readily agreed, replying with just two words: "No problem."

Lu Zhixing looked at Chen Cheng and asked cautiously, "Little Chen, how did you meet President Zhang and why are you calling him 'brother'?"

Chen Cheng thought to himself: Right, how did we meet? How can I explain this reasonably? I can't exactly say that I provided him with "show-off services" at a nightclub and even helped him get an awesome "Dragon King" package for his client, can I?

Qin Xiaobo perked up again. He also wanted to know how Chen Cheng knew Zhang Qishuo and how he could get tens of thousands of tons of coal from Lu Zhixing with just one phone call!

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "The reason why I know Mr. Zhang is rather complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two, but it is generally related to movies, because I am also a movie lover, as is Mr. Zhang."

Lu Zhixing nodded: "I have heard that Yuanteng Group has always invested in film and television dramas."

“Yes.” Chen Cheng continued, “I even joked with Brother Zhang that I wanted to try writing a movie script and see if he could help me sell it.”

Lu Youyou asked in surprise, "Chen Cheng...you...you can also write movie scripts?"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "This kind of thing is like writing an essay. There's no such thing as 'can't' or 'can't,' only 'how well' or 'how badly' you write. I'm just saying that; I probably don't even have that level of skill myself."

Lu Youyou said with a smile, "Then when you actually start writing, remember to show it to me."

"Okay," Chen Cheng replied casually, thus changing the subject.

In this way, if he were to actually write a famous script and it became a hit someday, it would be like receiving a preventative measure from Lu Youyou.

Lu Zhixing was overjoyed. He said to Chen Cheng, "Xiao Chen, thank you so much for this. If it weren't for your help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get through this!"

Chen Cheng thought to himself, "It's mainly because you're lucky."

I've only just met Zhang Qishuo, and I haven't even had a chance to use this connection myself, but you've already done it for me.

Moreover, because of you, I owed someone a favor.

He was the one who owed me a favor.

But then he thought, this is Lu Youyou's father after all. His daughter lent him a million yuan, which is a huge favor. He'll just consider it repaying Lu Youyou's favor. So he deliberately said, "Uncle Lu, please don't be so polite with me. Lu Youyou has helped me a lot too. Helping you is helping her."

Chen Cheng said this on purpose, partly because he was only helping out of respect for Lu Youyou, and partly to subtly let Lu Zhixing know that he was able to reap this good result today because his daughter had sown a good seed with one million.

He doesn't need Lu Zhixing to owe him any favors. If he really feels he needs to thank someone for this, then he should thank Lu Youyou. After all, he gave birth to a wonderful daughter.

Upon hearing Chen Cheng's words, Lu Zhixing felt even more ashamed.

He didn't know if Chen Cheng said this because he understood his earlier veiled criticism.

But he knew that Chen Cheng didn't need his thanks.

The person I really want to thank is my daughter, whom I had just complained about for being naughty a few days ago.

But he couldn't bring himself to apologize in front of Chen Cheng, so he could only turn to Lu Youyou and sincerely say, "Youyou, Daddy also wants to thank you!"

"Dad, why are you being so polite? It would be best if the problem were solved!"

At this moment, Lu Youyou felt no resentment whatsoever, only happiness.

She never dreamed that there would be such a perfect solution to this problem.

Originally, she lent Chen Cheng the money that could have helped her father solve some of his problems, which made her father's situation very difficult and caused him to complain a lot about Chen Cheng. In the end, it was Chen Cheng who actually helped her father solve the problem completely.

At that moment, she felt as if she were blessed by God, and everything was developing in the best possible direction.

Seeing that his daughter wasn't angry at all, and didn't show any signs of having been wronged, Lu Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief.

However, another question quickly came to his mind: "What was with Youyou holding hands with Chen Cheng just now? Could they be dating? That doesn't seem so strange. If they weren't dating, why would Youyou be so foolish as to lend him a million yuan?"

At this moment, he felt a little uncomfortable. His daughter had been excellent and obedient since she was a child, and he certainly didn't want her to fall in love too early and be deceived by those bastards.

Even Qin Xiaobo himself never intended for his daughter to date him. He simply hoped that his daughter would give him a good look, and that Qin Xiaobo's father would lend him a hand in the future.

Now it seems that Chen Cheng is many times better than Qin Xiaobo. His daughter is already eighteen years old this year, so it's not surprising that she's dating normally. Besides, Chen Cheng is really quite good.

Lu Zhixing thought Chen Cheng was good, not because Chen Cheng knew Zhang Qishuo, nor because Chen Cheng helped him solve his problem, but because he had overheard every word of Chen Cheng's phone call with Zhang Qishuo. He could tell that Chen Cheng's communication skills, as well as his logic in sorting out, expressing, and handling problems, were much better than his peers. In fact, there were some details that he himself might not have handled as well.

Moreover, he is a student at a 985 university, which proves that his academic performance is also excellent.

If his daughter is indeed dating him, then such a guy is quite outstanding.

More importantly, the two were high school classmates and are both from Fancheng, which means that if they can get married, their daughter will not have to marry far away.

Upon closer examination, he realized that it seemed to be all advantages and no disadvantages...

Having figured this out, Lu Zhixing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He leaned back in the passenger seat, a smile he couldn't suppress on his face.

His driver, who had been with him for many years, was also very happy for him. The driver also thought that Lu Youyou was dating Chen Cheng and that Lu Youyou's boyfriend was very good.

In a great mood, Lu Zhixing said, "Xiao Chen, how about this, tell your family at noon that you don't need to go back for lunch. Your uncle will ask your aunt to prepare some good food, and you can come home with us for lunch."

Qin Xiaobo quickly said, "Uncle Lu, I won't bother you at your house at noon. I have to go see my grandparents..."

Before getting in the car, Lu Zhixing said he would take him home for lunch, which made him quite happy. After all, this showed that Lu Zhixing valued him and was also an opportunity for him to get closer to Lu Youyou.

But looking at it now, is this even a damn opportunity? How shameless would I have to be to even eat this meal?
It was only then that Lu Zhixing remembered that he had promised Qin Xiaobo's father that he would take Qin Xiaobo home for lunch. Now that he heard that Qin Xiaobo was not going, he was happy to save himself the trouble, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then Uncle will take you to your grandparents' house."

Qin Xiaobo was even more annoyed. He didn't want to go, but Lu Zhixing agreed so readily, which was hardly giving him any face...

Lu Zhixing didn't care about him. Seeing that Chen Cheng hadn't responded, he asked again, "Xiao Chen, are you free at noon?"

Chen Cheng thought to himself, "It seems a bit strange to eat at your house. If you really want to invite me to dinner, then I have a good place to go."

So he said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, it's too much trouble for Auntie to come to your house. Why don't we eat out? There's a restaurant near the sauce factory that's pretty good. Some of my classmates had a get-together there last time. Why don't we go there?"
