Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 133 Taking You to a Place

Considering that both of Chen Cheng's grandparents' and maternal grandparents' families were quite large, Chen Jianliang thought for a moment and said to Chen Cheng, "How about tonight and tomorrow night? One meal at your grandparents' house and one meal at your maternal grandparents' house."

Cheng Xiujuan agreed, saying, "Let's invite your family today, and our family tomorrow. Let's call and ask them."

Chen Jianliang nodded and said, "That restaurant near the old sauce factory seems pretty good, and the prices are reasonable. How about we book a private room there?"

"Change it!"

Chen Cheng quickly stopped his father's idea and said with a smile, "Dad, don't go to their house. We had our last get-together at their house. Let's go somewhere else, somewhere closer to them."

Chen Cheng was thinking, "If I go again, the boss will be devastated. Right now, I'm probably the last person he wants to see. If I don't show up again, it means I've accepted his offer of 200,000. If I do show up again, it means he's not satisfied with the 200,000."

Chen Jianliang didn't take it seriously and said, "Then let's go to that local restaurant near your grandma's house tonight, and find another restaurant near your maternal grandma's house tomorrow."

Chen Cheng naturally had no objections and let them arrange things as they pleased.

While his parents were busy contacting relatives, Chen Cheng went back to his room first.

He counted the cash the restaurant owner had given him. Two hundred thousand was not a small amount for him, but for the owner, it was just a few percent of his profit.

He retied the plastic bag and stuffed it, along with his backpack, under the bed.

His current worry is no longer about the money, but how to give his parents a reasonable portion of it. If he could give them the 100,000 yuan in cash, it would not only ease their burden, but also save him the trouble of carrying it back with him.

However, he had only been at school for a month and couldn't find a good reason to explain to his parents where the 200,000 yuan came from, so he had to give up for the time being.

As he was pondering the problem, his phone vibrated twice. It was a text message from Su Zishan: "Manager Chen, the turnover in September was 925,000. After deducting the guaranteed performance of 120,000, the commission was 161,000. After deducting the advance payment of 10,000, the remaining 151,000 has been transferred to you by Xiao Liu from the finance department. Please check it when you have time."

These days, banks don't send SMS notifications, and there's no mobile banking. If you want to check how much money is in your account, you have to go to the bank counter or an ATM.

However, Chen Cheng trusted Su Zishan, so he replied to her, "Thank you, Sister Zishan."

Su Zishan replied, "Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you. Without you, the shop would have gone out of business. How could we have made so much money? By the way, are you home yet?"

"Already arrived."

"When are you coming back?"

"Tentatively number four."

"Train? Bus? Let me know when you're almost there, and I'll come pick you up."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

"It's okay, I'm free during the day."

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."

Back home, Chen Cheng felt utterly bored.

It's so boring at home. Apart from a broken cell phone, there's almost nothing to do for entertainment.

After calling all the relatives and booking a private room at the restaurant, the parents chatted with Chen Cheng, asking about his well-being, but they kept repeating the same topics they had already discussed.

At this moment, Lu Youyou sent him a text message, asking, "Chen Cheng, are you free tomorrow at noon?"

Chen Cheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Youyou replied, "My mom said she'd like to invite you to her house for a meal."

Chen Cheng: "Auntie, you're too kind. We've already eaten today."

Lu Youyou: "That's because you're treating. My mom said she gave me the task of inviting you and that I absolutely have to complete it."

Chen Cheng knew that Lu Youyou's parents definitely wanted to find an opportunity to thank him properly, and they might also want to take the opportunity to find answers to some questions from him.

His instinct was to refuse, but upon reflection, he realized that even if they didn't meet, he couldn't avoid people speculating about him.

Besides, he had lent Lu Youyou a million yuan, so he had to give her face.

So he didn't dwell on it and replied, "Since you've said so, then I'm definitely fine with it."

Lu Youyou replied, "Then I'll wait for you at the intersection near your neighborhood at 10 a.m. tomorrow!"

Chen Cheng was surprised and asked her, "Is it necessary to do it so early?"

Lu Youyou replied, "I'll take you somewhere first."

"Where?"

"It's a secret for now, you'll find out when you get there."

Chen Cheng sighed helplessly; young girls just love to create a sense of mystery and pretense.

For some reason, he suddenly missed the simple and efficient ways he communicated with those women in his past life, such as: "Want to exercise?", "Your place or mine?", "You buy, I buy?".
-
While Chen Cheng was at home with nothing to do, Yan Ruoxuan, carrying only a small backpack, had just walked out of the arrival gate of Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Her family was worried that it would be too tiring for her to get up early to catch the plane, so they bought her a flight that was close to noon. Moreover, when their eldest daughter travels, the family always buys business class tickets.

Because the two places are very close, the flight took less than two hours from takeoff to landing. Basically, the plane just flew at level ground, had a meal, and then prepared to land.

After Yan Ruoxuan came out, she saw her parents standing side by side in the distance, waving excitedly at her.

Overjoyed, she excitedly ran over and said sweetly, "Dad, Mom, why are you both here?"

Yan Chengbin, a doting father, smiled happily upon seeing his daughter and said, "This is my precious daughter's first holiday home since starting university, so your mother and I definitely had to come and pick you up."

Chen Min, who was standing nearby, asked with concern, "Xuanxuan, have you had lunch?"

Yan Ruoxuan nodded: "I ate on the plane, what about you?" Chen Min was relieved and said: "We ate too, are you not hungry?"

"Not hungry."

Chen Min said, "If we're not hungry, let's go straight back to southern Jiangsu."

Remembering Chen Cheng's advice, Yan Ruoxuan cautiously asked, "Mom, I want to get a haircut in Shanghai before going back."

Chen Min asked in surprise, "Can't I get a haircut back in southern Jiangsu?"

Yan Ruoxuan shook her head and said coquettishly, "I want to get my hair cut in Shanghai! I want a Japanese style."

"What is Japanese style..." Chen Min muttered to herself, as she didn't really understand what Japanese style was.

A socialite of her caliber usually dresses in a luxurious European and American style.

Wear limited edition haute couture from major brands, or even have famous designers tailor-make their own clothes.

After all, traditional Chinese style hasn't really taken off these days.

As for jewelry and accessories, they are all from well-known European and American jewelry brands. Currently, jade is still considered to be exclusively for middle-aged and elderly people, and fashionable ladies rarely favor it.

Chen Min couldn't think of what Japanese style would look like, so she reached out and gently brushed aside Yan Ruoxuan's bangs, and said seriously, "Mom thinks your current student hairstyle looks great, it's so cute and adorable."

Yan Ruoxuan shook her head decisively: "I don't want to keep this hairstyle anymore. Bangs make me look silly, like a little kid."

Chen Min said, "But in your mother's eyes, you'll always be a little kid."

Yan Ruoxuan said with a pitiful look, "I don't want everyone to think I'm a child..."

Yan Chengbin casually said, "If Xuanxuan wants to get a haircut, then we can go back after the haircut. If not, we can have dinner in Shanghai tonight and then go back."

Chen Min was a little wary. She was afraid that her daughter's desire to change her look as soon as she was born was all because of Chen Cheng. Moreover, she had always liked her daughter's bangs and doll-like appearance. She had never seen her like that since she was a child and didn't want her to change her look.

So she deliberately said, "Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for their precious granddaughter, let's not waste too much time."

After saying that, he gave Yan Chengbin a wink.

Yan Chengbin waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We'll help Xuanxuan get her hair done this afternoon. I'll have the driver bring my parents to Shanghai this afternoon. They can stay in Shanghai for one night and then go back to southern Jiangsu tomorrow."

Southern Jiangsu and Shanghai are very close, only a few dozen kilometers apart. The Yan family's businesses are spread throughout East China, with companies and numerous properties in Shanghai. In addition, Yan Chengbin has always doted on his daughter, so he naturally did not want to spoil the fun.

Yan Ruoxuan was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! Thank you, Dad!"

Chen Min was angry, but since her husband had already agreed, she couldn't say anything more.

Yan Ruoxuan affectionately linked arms with her parents, and the three of them arrived at the parking lot together and got into Yan Chengbin's Rolls-Royce.

The couple didn't have their driver with them today, mainly so it would be easier to talk to each other.

On their way here, the two of them discussed all the way whether or not to ask Yan Ruoxuan for the purpose of borrowing two million.

Chen Min insisted on asking her daughter to find out more details about Chen Cheng.
Yan Chengbin suggested that they just pretend not to know, since his daughter and Chen Cheng didn't have any real intimate contact, and the two didn't seem to be dating. Asking too many questions would put a lot of pressure on his daughter.

Neither of them could convince the other, so Chen Min decided to subtly probe the issue on the way back.

Once in the car, Yan Chengbin was at a loss. Although he was very familiar with Shanghai, he didn't know where there were any Japanese-style hair salons.

So, while driving, he made a phone call to a local friend.

After explaining his intentions, the other party consulted his daughter and then recommended a salon to Yan Chengbin, which was very close to the Bund.

This salon is said to be one of the most upscale in Shanghai, and more than half of the designers are from Japan and South Korea.

In 2002, the influence of the Korean wave far exceeded that of the Japanese wave. However, when it came to makeup and styling, the young ladies of Shanghai preferred the delicate style of Japanese fashion.

Yan Chengbin drove to the Bund. On the way, Chen Min, who was sitting in the back seat, took Yan Ruoxuan's hand and asked her with concern, "Xuanxuan, tell Mom how you feel about university?"

"It's great," Yan Ruoxuan said with a smile.

Chen Min then asked, "Is the money enough?"

"That's enough!"

Yan Ruoxuan casually said, "I feel like I can't even spend a thousand yuan a month."

After saying that, she said to Yan Chengbin, who was driving, "Dad, we can't give you the two million yet, so don't worry."

Yan Chengbin was surprised that his daughter would bring this up so openly in front of his wife, so he said, "Keep it. It's too much trouble to keep passing it around."

Yan Ruoxuan nodded emphatically: "Anyway, I will definitely pay you back."

Chen Min, feigning curiosity, asked, "Xuanxuan, what exactly did you ask your dad for two million for?"

Yan Ruoxuan thought for a moment and then said, "I originally planned to lend it to my classmate, but he hasn't used it yet."

Chen Min thought to herself, "I knew it! This money was meant for Chen Cheng."

So she asked again, "Why does your classmate need so much money?"

"Business."

Yan Ruoxuan didn't hide anything: "He has his eye on a project and wants to work on it, but he doesn't have enough funds."
