233: Chapter 233 Ming Zhen
Chen Cheng nodded, "Yeah, it's a bit urgent."
"Then when will you be back?"
Chen Cheng feigned deep thought.
Han Su frowned slightly and asked, "Will it take a long time?"
Chen Cheng nodded and then shook his head, explaining:
"Actually, it also has something to do with the project we were just talking about."
"I'm developing a new Artificial Intelligence model. I sold those shares to hedge against risks and to secure funding for configuring the servers."
Han Su: "Is it the one you've been hugging your computer and writing lately?"
Chen Cheng nodded, "Yeah."
"I've almost finished building the core code framework."
"This trip to Silicon Valley is to ask someone to come out of retirement to lead this project."
Han Su nodded, "Then go ahead, work is important."
"I'm not a three-year-old child who needs someone to accompany me every day."
Chen Cheng: "If things go smoothly, I might not be coming to Hong Kong for a while."
"I need to go back to Shanghai to coordinate the site selection for the new company."
"Coordinating land, ensuring power supply, and interviewing personnel. In short, there's a thousand things to do."
"I have very high expectations for this project, and basically all the funds from selling the shares will be invested into it."
Han Su smiled, stopped in her tracks, threw herself into his arms, and whispered comfortingly:
"Alright, I know. You just focus on your work."
"When I have time, I'll go see you, or you can find time to come see me."
"We'll be in the south and the north, striving together."
Chen Cheng smiled knowingly; the phrase "south and north" was used quite cleverly.
At this moment, Scum Cheng wondered if he was being too much of a scum.
The two returned to Han Su's small apartment, put down the computer, and kissed each other.
From the entryway, they kissed their way into the bathroom.
Midnight.
Chen Cheng held Han Su and said softly, "I won't be back for a long time, why don't you move into my place?"
Han Su shook her head without hesitation, "No, I can't afford the rent at your place."
"I don't want to rely on a man yet."
Chen Cheng's lips curled up, feeling very comfortable inside, "But I've already paid the rent, and there's a Filipino maid at home."
"Then I'll go stay there occasionally, just like a vacation."
Chen Cheng's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand to spank her.
"Ah~" Han Su felt the pain and bit his chest angrily.
But she was afraid of hurting Chen Cheng, so she didn't use much force.
Chen Cheng said testily, "Although I didn't think about buying it, what's with the 'vacation' business?"
Han Su hummed, blinked her eyes, and said, "Fine, I'll go stay there often, okay?"
Chen Cheng was finally satisfied.
Thinking of Sun Xu's matter, he asked softly, "Han Su, are you still doing this to stand upright and tall in front of that person?"
Han Su shook her head, "No, not anymore. Ever since you took me to see him, I haven't been."
"Thinking about it now, I was so naive before."
"He is my biological father, so what? He is not my biological father, so what?"
"Whether it's him or me, we have actually long been living our own lives."
Han Su sat up, looked at Chen Cheng, and said solemnly, "Chen Cheng, thank you for taking me into this matter for real."
Chen Cheng looked straight into her eyes, took a breath, and said, "Sun Xu is not your biological father."
"You two have no blood relation."
Han Su still couldn't hold it in, and tears streamed from her eyes.
Chen Cheng didn't speak; he pulled her into his arms, handing her tissues while soothing her.
She didn't know how long she cried; perhaps she was tired from crying, and she slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Chen Cheng dropped Han Su off at her company and left the keys to the 812 with her; Han Su did not refuse.
Han Su was a straightforward person; there were no lingering, overly affectionate goodbyes.
She hugged him, asked for a kiss, and turned elegantly to walk into the elevator lobby.
Chen Cheng got into the Bodyguard's car and returned to Jardines Lookout.
In the afternoon, after Li Na arrived, everyone boarded the plane to Angel City.
As before, Chen Cheng chose a chartered flight, operated by a Gulfstream G650ER.
This big guy, for intercontinental transoceanic flights, cost over a million per trip.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury.
Chen Cheng was no longer the guy who, when his phone broke, would try to fleece Ye Zhenzhen.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Ming Zhen, the flight attendant for this flight."
"Welcome aboard."
Chen Cheng looked at Ming Zhen before him, with her hands folded, wearing a blue flight attendant uniform and a standard-issue hat, and he was stunned.
Ming Zhen.
Wasn't there also Xing Lu?
God, are you playing with me?
Just after Zou Yu ran off, here comes a double.
And it even comes with a Ming Zhen.
As for why Ming Zhen appeared.
For private jets, if the boss doesn't hire flight attendants themselves.
When flying, the management airline usually randomly arranges highly qualified flight attendants to work part-time.
Private jets have a lot of idle time; if the boss isn't using it, they might rent it out.
The G650ER Chen Cheng was using today seemed to be a plane managed by that boss.
Chen Cheng nodded, put away his thoughts, and stepped onto the boarding stairs first.
"Welcome aboard."
Li Na followed closely behind.
Li Na had been quite comfortable lately.
Being the Chairman's special assistant counted as a promotion. A promotion with a raise, and the boss is on a business trip—it was simply wonderful.
After everyone boarded, the plane soon taxied toward the runway.
This 650ER had a layout of four seats in the front, six in the back, and a three-person sofa in the middle.
Chen Cheng sat in the window seat on the right, while Li Na and Eleven sat opposite each other.
Brother Sheng and the security team sat in the back.
Chen Cheng looked out the window, pondering about Ming Zhen and Xing Lu.
Both were flight attendants for the airline, colleagues, and best friends.
Xing Lu's background was classic: a gambling father, a mother who ran away, and a broken her.
As for Ming Zhen, the original film didn't explain her background, and Chen Cheng only remembered that the original book said her family background was ordinary.
Her father was once a driver for Xing Lu's family.
Later, after Xing Lu's family fell into decline, he didn't know what they went to do to make a living.
This was another one of Xi Xi's bad films.
However, just like "The Third Way of Love," it was filmed during the peak of her beauty.
"For Love or Money" was about the story of Xing Lu seducing a rich young master for money.
The similarities were that both films flopped, and the male leads in both were damn Koreans.
After the plane started cruising, Ming Zhen entered the cabin to begin serving.
The takeoff time was 5 PM, just in time for dinner.
"Mr. Chen, would you like to eat something?"
Chen Cheng turned his head and began to size up Ming Zhen.
A typical Oriental beauty face, with soft facial contours and a slightly pointed chin.
Her eyes were large and bright, curving into crescent shapes when she smiled, full of approachability.
Her nose bridge was high and straight, and her lips were full.
Her hair was put up, and she looked clean and refreshing.
Her 172cm long legs only added to her allure as she swayed.
Seeing Chen Cheng stunned, Ming Zhen smiled and continued: "Today, our flight took off from Hong Kong. The plane has prepared Cantonese cuisine: roast goose, char siu, bok choy, rice, and other Chinese dishes."
"Western-style options include steak, caviar, oysters, Spanish ham, pizza, fried chicken, pasta, etc."
"Since our flight time is relatively long, the food preparation is quite sufficient."
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and said, "Steak."
"Alright, would you like to drink something?"
"Steak goes well with red wine; on the plane, we have a '13 Dujac, a '14 Domaine Leroy Monthelie, and an '11 Echezeaux Grand Cru."
"A '09 Musigny Grand Cru, and an '07 Armand Rousseau Chambertin-Clos de Beze."
Chen Cheng's lips curled up; this flight attendant job wasn't so easy after all.
Her professional skills were top-notch, and she didn't forget to upsell while serving.
Opening the wine was an extra fee, and she got a commission.
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Open a bottle of Chambertin-Clos de Beze."
After asking, Ming Zhen then asked Li Na, Eleven, Chen Guosheng, and the others one by one.
