Chapter 701 - Like A Fierce Flame
Not long after, a table of fragrant dishes was set out in front of us. It was just as Dong Cheng Lei had said, all of the different dishes and styles of Chinese cuisine had been represented. The lives of rich people really couldn’t be understood by us plebians.
“Brother Xiao Yao, sit here!”
Dong Cheng Lei was very warm and helped pull out my chair. I smiled with a nod, “Thank you Ah Lei!”
Dong Cheng Feng sat down as well and opened up a few bottles of red wine, “Ever since Yue Er began to attend Liu Hua University, she hasn’t even had the time to come back. Tell me, how long has it been since you last came home?”
“It’s just been a few months….” Dong Cheng grinned to her dad. Her spoiled expression made even Dong Cheng Feng unable to add anything else.
Dong Cheng Le said, “Dad, Ah Yue has been doing quite well in school. I’ve been over there to take a look, the environment is very nice. Besides, she has Brother Xiao Yao and Wan Er to keep her company. She definitely won’t get bored. That’s nothing like when she’s at home. She spends all day in her room and only plays games. She even said herself that she can’t live a life like a canned fish. Isn’t she much more happier now?”
Dong Cheng grinned, “Bro is still the one that understands me best!”
Tang Qi stood up and went to help pour the red wine in Dong Cheng Feng’s hands. Dong Cheng Fen then said, “My assistant is also a pretty young man. He’s been paying attention to the situation in your game recently. He even said that our Dong Cheng Yue earned a very high rank in a competition, isn’t that right?”
Dong Cheng blushed and smiled, “Not exactly. I just held onto Brother Xiao Yao and Wan Er… Otherwise, based on my power, I might not even make it into the top sixteen.”
Tang Qi interrupted, “Little Miss, you’re being too modest!”
Dong Cheng Feng wryly smiled, “It really is great to be young. You better enjoy this time! That’s right Yue Er, I almost forgot to tell you. Recently, the company has signed a big contract and sold the land close to Wan Da just south of the city to another company. We’ve even created a partnership in operations.”
“Oh? The land south of the city…”Dong Cheng blinked a few times and said, “That spot is practically like gold. It wouldn’t be possible without at least two hundred million right?”
Dong cheng Feng smiled and nodded, “Exactly, we sold it for four hudnred million.”
“Which company?”
“Booster Pharmaceuticals Corporation. They want to begin operations in the city and have even set up plans to build a large scale shopping center on the land. They’re planning on developing the Xi Hu Region into a central business district.”
“Booster?” I furrowed my brows, “Uncles, did Wang Ze Cheng sign that contract with you?”
Dong Cheng Feng was stunned, “What? Li Xiao Yao, you also know Mr. Wang from Booster?”
I smiled, “Yea, we’ve known eachother for a while. He’s been attending Liu Hua University as well.”
Dong Cheng Yue then asked, “Dad, do you know much about this Wang Ze Cheng?”
“A little. He is a very formidable young man. What’s wrong?”
“Be more careful around him. Wang Ze Cheng isn’t a good person!”
“This….”
Dong Cheng Feng was starting to feel some doubts. I put down my cup and said, “There shouldn’t be any problems. After all, it’s just for business.”
Dong ChengYue nodded, “That’s true.”
Dong Cheng Feng was completely muddled. He had no idea what we were talking about. He turned around to make a call. Who knows what he was telling his assistant. After that, he continued to eat dinner with us.
……
After we finished dinner, it was already eight in the evening. We even stayed at Dong Cheng’s house for a while longer to continue chatting. It was ten o’clock by the time we returned to the school.
When we arrived at our apartment, I took a quick shower first. Right as I finished, my phone rang. It was a call from Shen Bing. When I picked up, Shen Bing’s charming voice sounded through the phone, “Little Li, what are you doing?”
“Just showered. Shen Bing, do you need something?”
“Yup. If you take a picture of you in the shower I’ll tell you.”
“Then I’m hanging up.”
“Alright alright, I’ll say…”
“Tell me….”
“There’s good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?”
“Good news then!”
“Ok!” Shen Bing got serious and said, “Last time, we managed to obtain the chemical compounds of the drug that Wei Fan uses. We’ve already been able to determine some of the chemicals that were used. After a series of analyses, we found that this drug can greatly change any mutations or breakages in a human’s DNA. That is why the Artificial Humans had such strong bodies.”
I furrowed my brows and said, “What’s the bad news?”
