Chapter 629: Unexpected Encounter on the Plane

Chen Yang, can't you slow down your business expansion speed? I can't keep up with your pace. Liu Shijie, who was urgently summoned back to Xingcheng by Chen Yang, had a happy smile on his face but kept complaining.

When he first met Chen Yang, he had fewer than two hundred people under him. Now it has expanded to a scale of fifteen hundred people, but it's still not enough. From time to time he still has to add some temporary workers.

Chen Yang reminded Liu Shijie: "Brother Jie, your money in the bank earns hardly any interest. Now infrastructure projects are underway all over the country. If you don't take advantage of this trend to expand your scale, you'll miss many money-making opportunities later."

Liu Shijie certainly wanted to earn more money; he just lacked the ability. He let out a light sigh and said: "Chen Yang, I've already invested all domestic funds. As for those overseas funds, it's still better to entrust them to Su Mingyue for more stable investment. After all, the US stock market is more stable than domestic, and the return rate is also higher. With that sum as backup, if anything happens in the future, we can still draw on it for emergencies."

Chen Yang looked at Liu Shijie, both laughing and crying, feeling that he had already been poisoned by the US stock market. Even though he's so busy now, with several places assigning him engineering projects, he actually still has time to pay attention to the US stock market.

He seriously said to Liu Shijie: "If you don't want to use overseas funds, then go take a loan from the bank. Now is the golden period for the real estate industry; if you don't seize the market early, once all the outside capital enters Dongjiangsheng, you'll have few opportunities left."

Most of the projects Liu Shijie currently takes on are from Chen Yang's side; there's no pressure, but the profits aren't high either. After hearing Chen Yang's words, he indeed felt a bit tempted.

"Chen Yang, why don't we partner up? You invest a bit, I'll borrow a bit from the bank. Working with you, I'd feel more at ease."

"No way!" Chen Yang directly rejected his proposal. "I've already invested in the Liu Clan Group; investing in your company as well would surely draw strong objections from my ex-wife."

Liu Shijie immediately teased: "Chen Yang, you're too timid. Even though you're divorced, what are you afraid she'll do? With the provincial governor backing you, what can the Lin family do to you?"

Chen Yang countered: "If they don't target me, but instead aim at Sunlight Real Estate Company, how would you respond?"

Liu Shijie immediately fell silent.

Chen Yang patted Liu Shijie's shoulder to encourage him: "Brother Jie, just be bold. If you really can't land a good project, I can also give you a guarantee!"

"Alright! I'll go contact the bank right away." Seeing Chen Yang willing to back him up, Liu Shijie finally made up his mind.

After Chen Yang waited for him to leave, he had his bodyguard drive him to Xingcheng Airport.

Luosen had already arranged a buyer for an electronics factory on his side, and Ouyang Sheng had also contacted several interested buyers, all waiting for him to make the final decision.

However, after boarding the plane, Chen Yang unexpectedly discovered that Chu Ning was sitting right next to his seat.

She was wearing an eye mask, with earphones plugged in her ears, quietly listening to music.

Chen Yang hesitated a moment, then finally sat down carefully in the seat beside her.

As soon as he sat down, Chu Ning reacted. She reflexively turned her head, then quickly removed her eye mask. Upon seeing Chen Yang, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

"Chen Yang, didn't we agree to break up? Why are you still coming to look for me?"

Chen Yang whispered an explanation: "I had agreed with Luosen to discuss the acquisition of the electronics factory; I didn't expect you to also return to Goat City."

Upon hearing that, Chu Ning's face immediately showed a hint of disappointment. She coldly snorted: "If you're not here for me, why are you sitting here? Get lost!"

Chen Yang gave a wry smile: "If I had known you were returning to Goat City today, I would have taken the train."

Chu Ning angrily pinched Chen Yang's arm hard. She had merely casually said "let's break up", and this man immediately left without hesitation. To avoid her, he even shut himself up at home and didn't go out.

"Chen Yang, you're an extremely shameless scoundrel! I hope your plane crashes, your train derails, your car gets into an accident..."

Chen Yang quickly covered her mouth with his hand, looking tense, and reminded: "My auntie, can't you say something nice? If I die in a plane crash, wouldn't you have to follow me to the grave as well?"

As his words fell, the plane suddenly jolted violently. Chu Ning was frightened pale, and immediately clung to Chen Yang with both arms.

After feeling her body's violent trembling, Chen Yang also suddenly became nervous. But he forced himself to stay calm, softly comforting Chu Ning: "It's fine, this is just a normal phenomenon when the plane just takes off."

Chu Ning's body trembled for a while; only after confirming the plane had no further reaction did she open her eyes to look around. After seeing that the other passengers in first class were calm, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her still holding him, Chen Yang asked concernedly: "How have you been lately?"

Chu Ning lifted her head, glared at Chen Yang, pouted, and said: "We've broken up; whether I'm doing well or not is none of your business!"

Chen Yang sighed at her: "Actually, I've been trying hard to convince myself to forget you. But no matter how busy I make myself, I still can't help thinking of you in the end."

The expression on Chu Ning's face instantly became radiant. She stared into Chen Yang's eyes and said resentfully: "If you miss me, why don't you come find me?"

Chen Yang self-mockingly said: "Since our families aren't matched, coming to look for you isn't just asking for humiliation?"

Chu Ning let out a soft hum, said nothing more, and just rested her head on Chen Yang's shoulder.

Actually, during this period she had also been torn inside, unsure whether she could accept Chen Yang's past, but she couldn't find an answer.

This time returning to Goat City was actually just to change environments and adjust her mood; she didn't expect that, by a twist of fate, she would run into Chen Yang again.

So she felt this was destiny. Even if it was a karmic bond, it was specially arranged by heaven.

"Chen Yang, why don't we try again for a while? If we really aren't suited, then let's not force it."

Chen Yang immediately asked Chu Ning: "Do you need to come clean with your family?"

Chu Ning quickly shook her head: "If they find out, we'll have no way out."

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang felt a slight disappointment inside. A secret romance, though exciting, is ultimately improper and illegitimate.

He now feels nervous even facing Luosen; if he were to run into Chu Zhengfeng, he'd probably be exposed soon.

"Chu Ning, if your brother found out, wouldn't he have me killed?"

"No way, my brother is very open-minded; at most he'd make me a eunuch in the palace."

"Then maybe we should just forget it..." Chen Yang suddenly felt a chill down there. If a man lacks that, even with billions in wealth, what's the point...

"Cowardly man, what are you playing at!" Chu Ning pinched Chen Yang hard again. She discovered that Chen Yang is indeed a scoundrel in love; at the slightest danger he shrinks back. His behavior in the stock market is completely different.
