Chapter 33 Where do you want to sleep?
“I know the person in charge at Temasek; they can help with communication.”

"sorry to bother you."

Chen Xiu thanked Zhou Shouzi, saying that besides Tencent, Didi's Series D funding came from DST and Temasek.

Now that the other party can help me communicate with Temasek, it saves me a lot of communication costs and workload.

The same task done by different people can yield completely different results in different efficiencies.

Circles and resources do indeed exist objectively...

As it passed 3:30 p.m., after discussing financing issues, Chen Xiu got up to shake hands with Zhou Shouzi to say goodbye, when he asked her this question.

"Mr. Chen, you and Mr. Zhang from ByteDance are friends, right?"

Upon hearing him mention Zhang Yiming, Chen Xiu paused for a moment, her mind quickly trying to make sense of the connection between the two.

“I’ve known Yi for a long time. I think DST was also in charge of ByteDance’s Series B funding round.”

"Yes, I was in charge of that financing round."

Zhou Shouzi nodded in agreement and continued, "During that collaboration, Mr. Zhang and I hit it off immediately. Last week, when we were chatting, we happened to talk about Didi's financing, and then he mentioned you."

"His evaluation of me must not be very good."

Chen Xiu said with great self-awareness, but Zhou Shouzi just smiled and shook his head.

"No, Mr. Zhang thinks you're a genius! He also said that if it weren't for the fact that you've already founded Didi, he would definitely invite you to start a business together."

"These words sound more like a prelude he made to invite you."

Chen Xiu gave Zhou Shouzi a strange look.

Although the two had only met a few times, he could sense the other's excellence and ability, so it wouldn't be surprising if Zhang Yiming wanted to poach him.

When asked about this topic, Zhou Shouzi readily admitted, "He did want to invite me to be the CFO, but I have no plans to switch jobs at the moment."

"There's plenty of time ahead. Just because we don't have the opportunity to cooperate now doesn't mean we won't have the opportunity in the future."

"Also a possibility."

Chen Xiu smiled and nodded, watching Zhou Shouzi leave the coffee shop. Then he stepped out of the table, walked straight through the coffee shop, and came to Meng Ziyi.

Chen Xiu glanced at Wei Feng and Xiong Ben sitting at the next table, then looked at Sister Meng, who was eating fries, and asked, "Can I have one?"

"Come on! I was just thinking that there might not be enough time to eat anything else, so I asked them to order McDonald's for me."

After explaining the food, Meng Ziyi shoved a French fry with ketchup in front of Chen Xiu.

While sucking on her fries, Chen Xiu took out her phone and made some gestures, then gave a wink to the two "third wheels" next to her.

"Collect money."

"Thanks, boss!" *2
Wei Feng and Xiong Ben shouted in unison, and then the two of them took out their phones and started operating them.

After completing a series of actions, Wei Feng, who had a rather carefree personality, explained to Meng Ziyi, who was full of doubt, "Sister-in-law, don't find it strange. That's just how our boss is. He always gives us red envelopes on holidays, when he's on business trips, when he finishes a project, or when he's in a good mood."

"Huh?! Such great benefits, Chen Xiu, how about I work for you too?"

"Okay, how about you take charge of my food, clothing, housing, and transportation?"

This teasing remark only earned Meng Jie a sneer and an eye roll.

Pulling up a chair and taking a seat, Chen Xiu began to arrange for the two light bulbs.

"You can eat dinner on your own. You can take the car. I'll let you know the meeting time tomorrow."

"understand!"

"Boss, should Monkey and I stay out tonight?"

These words, coming from the taciturn Xiong Ben, made Meng Ziyi blush and lower his head to deal with the fries.

Wei Feng glanced at his partner with surprise, thinking: What's wrong with you, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes? Shouldn't I be the one to say that understanding line?
On the contrary, Chen Xiu had long understood the repressed passion beneath Xiong Ben's silent face, so she wasn't surprised that he could say such a thing. She simply took out her phone and started transferring money via WeChat.

"You two collect the money, and you'll have to stay somewhere else for the next few days!"

"Wow~, 1? Boss, that's awesome!" "I'm going back to get my clothes ready."

Xiong Ben got up and left first, and Wei Feng, realizing what was happening, quickly followed. In the end, only Chen Xiu and Meng Ziyi remained.

Seeing the still-dazed and confused beauty, Chen Xiu took her hand and said, "Ziyi, I'll take you upstairs to put your luggage away first, and then we can go out and have some fun."

"Upstairs?"

“That’s right! Wei Feng, Da Xiong, and I have been living in the apartment upstairs for over a month. We’ll go up after they’ve finished settling in.”

"No, are we really going to sleep together tonight?"

Meng Ziyi's cheeks resembled those of agate, and her delicate, radiant skin had a crystal-clear quality.

When she spoke about the two of us, her voice was so faint it was like a mosquito's buzz, and Chen Xiu had to lean close to hear her clearly.

Seeing Meng Ziyi's hesitant and stammering expression, Chen Xiu deliberately teased, "Don't you want to sleep with me?"

"No, it's just that I'm a little nervous..."

"Pfft~ Don't worry, when I rented the apartment, I chose a four-bedroom, two-living room one from the beginning."

Seeing Meng Ziyi's stunned expression, Chen Xiu pulled her other hand, making them hold hands together, and half-stood up to lean close to her bright red little ear.

"Even if I wanted to eat you, I wouldn't choose this place..."

"So, where would you like to sleep?"

This rhetorical question immediately surprised Chen Xiu.

He turned his head and met Meng Ziyi's provocative eyes.

Before he could even utter a word, Meng Ziyi suddenly drew closer and enlarged in Chen Xiu's eyes, and then his lips felt a moist pressure.

After making a series of moves that turned the tables, Sister Meng sat back down and gestured with her chin towards Chen Xiuyang.

"Come on then! Who's afraid of you? Last time in Dalian, if I hadn't been inconvenienced, I would have turned you down long ago!"

Sister Meng's speech was incredibly bold and assertive.

She had actually prepared herself mentally for this kind of thing, but she felt a little embarrassed in front of Wei Feng and Xiong Ben, two people she wasn't very familiar with.

Now that he was alone with Chen Xiu, Meng Ziyi felt that he had nothing to be ashamed of!

We've been provoked.

I was provoked to my face!

Chen Xiu, who wasn't in a hurry to eat Meng Ziyi, felt a surge of heat rush from the soles of his feet to his head when he saw the silly beauty's "come and fight if you dare" look.

Can you tolerate this?

That would disqualify someone from being a man!
Chen Xiu remained silent, but simply stood up, took Meng Ziyi's hand, pulled her suitcase, and walked straight out of the coffee shop.

As they walked, Meng Ziyi looked in the direction the two were heading and asked in confusion, "Aren't we going upstairs?"

"Why go upstairs? In a few days, after you leave, those two rough guys will still want to stay. Let's go straight to the hotel!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi instantly understood what Chen Xiu meant when he said he wouldn't choose this place.

As she was being led like this, her nervousness quickly faded, replaced by a growing sense of anticipation.

Considering both distance and quality, Chen Xiu chose the Jinmao JW Marriott Hotel next to Donghai International.

Just as he led Meng Ziyi into the elevator, Wei Feng and Xiong Ben, carrying clothes and personal belongings, happened to appear at the hotel entrance.

"Big Bear, it looked like the boss just got into the elevator..."

"You're mistaken, that's definitely not the boss!"

"I read that right."

"No, you must be mistaken."
