In the azure blue swimming pool, a figure passed silently from the bottom of the water. After a few minutes, one hand touched the edge of the swimming pool. With a little force on the strong arm, a person easily jumped up from the pool water.
The man was wearing only black swimming trunks and stepped on the light blue tiles by the pool with his bare feet. The water droplets continued to slide down his firm skin, and soon formed a pool of water under his feet.
"Mr. Chen, it's time to start dinner," said a middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform more than a dozen meters away.
Chen Dongsheng turned his head, his indifferent gaze swept over the chef's full beard, and said coldly, "Your image makes me sick to my stomach."
The chef was not annoyed, and chuckled, "The commission you give does not include the image design fee."
Chen Dongsheng didn't say a word, walked a few steps away, picked up the bathrobe on the reclining chair, and walked towards the chef while wearing it.
In the dining room, everything was white, and the second color was barely visible.
Chen Dongsheng sat alone at the table, cut a piece of steak gracefully, and sent the bloody piece of meat into his mouth.
The chef stood behind him, smiling as he watched his employer eat all the food he had provided.
Before the meal was over, the ringtone of the mobile phone in the bathrobe pocket suddenly cut through the peace. Chen Dongsheng put down his knife and fork with a look of displeasure, and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Lu spread the news about you and Miss Shen on the Internet." The secretary called Chen Dongsheng as soon as he received the news.
Don't look at the fact that the president doesn't seem to care much about Shen Qing, but after all, she is a woman who has been with him for many years. After all, the relationship is different.
The Lu family, although it seems that he has successfully ascended the position, it is hard to say how long he can hold on. They are secretaries, and it is not enough to have eyes but not brains.
The news didn't move Chen Dongsheng in the slightest. He commanded in a light tone, "Remove the news."
"Yes." The secretary received the order, his expression stunned, and he did not dare to delay.
He hung up the phone and put it aside. Looking at the steak half left on the plate, I lost the interest in continuing to eat.
The chef removed the plate in time, replaced it with another black one that looked like jelly, and handed over a spoon, "This is a new ingredient that has just been harvested, you can try it early, if you think you can, just It can be planted on a large scale.”
Chen Dongsheng looked down at the contents of the dinner plate, scooped it up with a spoon, and put it into his mouth.
"It's pure, not bad."
This evaluation made the chef feel good, and at the same time sighed as if he had remembered something, "There were better quality ones, but unfortunately they were destroyed."
Chen Dongsheng was indifferent to this, and only gave one sentence, "You are too greedy."
"What you said is too hurtful." The chef looked sad. "I have always pursued an equal deal, and I have never taken anything that did not belong to me."
Chen Dongsheng was noncommittal and continued to eat quietly.
The chef didn't want to just shut up, "Your fiancee is a good 'soil'. Anyway, she'll be useless in a few days. I wonder if you can give her to me?"
"As long as you can satisfy me, of course there's no problem." After swallowing the last mouthful of food, Chen Dongsheng put down the spoon, wiped his mouth gracefully, and replied.
The chef's mouth hidden in the thick beard opened a strange arc, "You can rest assured, as long as the ingredients are sufficient, I guarantee that you will soon be able to get rid of the small troubles that have plagued you for many years."
After eating, Chen Dongsheng got up and left the restaurant. The chef was humming a song happily, while using a white rag, cleaning the cabinets inch by inch, and the shiny kitchen utensils.
In the corner of the kitchen, in the transparent fresh-keeping refrigerator, neatly placed a pile of ingredients in a strange state. After the chef cleaned it, he was lying in front of the refrigerator door, staring at the contents obsessively, as if he had turned into a statue and didn't move.
After leaving the restaurant, the butler who was waiting outside greeted him respectfully, "Patriarch, the Lu family came to visit and are waiting for you in the front hall."
Chen Dongsheng hummed and walked towards the front hall with the housekeeper.
It was Lu Tingjun who came to visit on behalf of the Lu family. When he saw Chen Dongsheng appear, he immediately got up with a smile.
After the two exchanged greetings, he said jokingly, "Isn't my little sister causing you trouble in the past two weeks?"
Although it was just an engagement, Chen Dongsheng took his fiancee to play abroad for more than half a month, and the Lu family was still very satisfied with this.
Chen Dongsheng was able to take time out of his busy schedule, just to please his fiancée. This alone made them feel very proud, and at the same time, they had more confidence in the cooperation between the two.
"Xiaochan is very good." Chen Dongsheng replied with a smile.
Lu Tingjun smiled without saying a word. He still didn't know what kind of virtue his half-sister was. It's only been a few days since I came back, and I'm starting to feel restless again.
However, she is still measured. Although the person she is dealing with is also Chen Dongsheng's woman, as long as it is not excessive, the other party will not care too much.
I was afraid that she would be stupid enough to mess with Shi Chengxuan again.
Recalling the warning given by Shi Chengxuan last time, just a little bit of action caused the Lu family to suffer a lot of losses. This made him more and more anxious, and the cooperation with the Chen family should start as soon as possible. Just a Lu family is still too weak.
Lu Tingjun stayed at the Chen's house for more than two hours and left with a smile on his face, obviously getting what he wanted.
After he left, the butler came in with a new set of tea sets, removed the untouched tea in front of Chen Dongsheng, and replaced him with a new cup of tea.
"Didn't Shen Qing call?" Chen Dongsheng asked suddenly after taking a sip of the light red tea.
"Miss Shen was intercepted by Miss Lu when she contacted you last time, and she has never tried to make a call since then." The housekeeper said slowly.
Seeing that he was silent, the butler couldn't help but ask, "Do you need to restrict Miss Lu's behavior?"
As the housekeeper of the Chen family, he doesn't have the respect he should have for the fiancee chosen by the head of the family, and it can be seen from the title alone.
"Being not."
The housekeeper frowned, "But her behavior has caused you reputational trouble, and Miss Shen..."
He didn't pay attention to the rivalry between the two women, but it involved the reputation of the head of the family, and it was over. Lu Qingchan was too frivolous, and she was just an illegitimate daughter. Although the Lu family has repeatedly raised her status, she is still not worthy of the head of the Chen family.
As for Shen Qing, the housekeeper did not comment on her in the slightest, but it was a pet kept by the owner.
Chen Dongsheng narrowed his eyes, "It's just a boring farce, it won't last long."
Although the housekeeper wanted to say something, but seeing the attitude of the owner, he immediately shut his mouth and became quiet.
