Chapter 632: I Like Men

Chen Yang, you invested two billion, yet you gave him ten percent of the shares—too much of a loss, right?

Who said I wanted to invest two billion?

You've advertised all over the world—who doesn't know?

Want—"Hehe, that's two billion invested on the Xingcheng side, while this Yangcheng side is independently separate."

Luosen heard that and let out a slight sigh of relief. As for that little bit of the newly opened electronics factory, let alone twenty million, even ten million he thought was too much. I never expected Chen Yang to directly change it into ten percent shares.

Originally worried Chen Yang would be a sucker, but since the other side had no plan to invest two billion, he also felt relieved.

Chen Yang, how much are you planning to invest here?

First, we'll do two hundred million; if we truly achieve a technological breakthrough later, we'll consider increasing investment based on the situation.

Luosen felt that an investment of two hundred million was already substantial, but compared to Xingcheng's two billion, he also felt it a bit petty. He reminded Chen Yang:

Your investment in Panyu is only one-tenth of Xingcheng's; the Chu Family might have objections.

Is two hundred million still too little? When I just founded the agricultural products trading company, I only invested a few tens of millions!

This can't be compared! You're now the richest person, your status is different.

First invest two hundred million, later adding more is the same!

Chen Yang was speechless. Does being the richest person necessarily mean one has to make big investments? What logic is that?

The key is, the relatively mature industrial chain of the newly opened electronics factory is making chargers. Lithium battery technology still needs further improvement and cannot be pushed to market.

At this stage, the major expenses aside from building the new factory and workers' wages are only the R&D costs for new technology. Two hundred million is more than enough.

Luosen saw Chen Yang insisting on his decision and didn't say anything else.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Yang called Ouyang Sheng, asking him to handle the equity change work for the newly opened electronics factory. At the same time, he also instructed him to conduct due diligence on Zhang Xin Kai to see whether the other party is capable of managing this company.

After finishing his instructions, Chen Yang sent a message to Chu Ning, asking if it was convenient for her to take a call.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning's call came through immediately.

Chen Yang, hurry back to Xingcheng!

What's wrong?

My sister seems not to have given up on you; she's preparing to come find you.

Won't you tell her I'm your boyfriend?

No, if you say that, you'll be even less able to get away.

My business here isn't finished yet...

You can let Luosen and Ouyang Sheng handle it. Hurry up and go, really!

……

Chen Yang was speechless. That Chu Min—today was their first meeting, what exactly does she see in him?

To avoid making Chu Ning uncomfortable, Chen Yang decided to first go to Shencheng to hide for a bit.

However, just as he stepped out of the hotel, he saw Chu Min's Ferrari already parked at the entrance.

Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.

Back to Xingcheng!

Ah……" Chu Min looked at Chen Yang with a surprised face. "You… just came? So soon you have to go back?"

Chen Yang only wanted to get away from her quickly, and immediately said: "Something came up on the Xingcheng side; I need to go back and take charge."

Chu Min said with a hint of regret: "Since you have matters to attend to, let me take you to the airport."

Chen Yang worried she'd bring up absurd topics in the car, so he politely refused: "Miss Chu, thank you for your kindness. My staff have already come to pick me up. This time I won't trouble you."

Chu Min snorted coldly: "I think your having matters is fake; you're just avoiding me, right?"

Chen Yang laughed and said: "Miss Chu, we have no grudge from past lives, no enmity in this one. Why would I avoid you?"

Chu Min said: "That girl Chu Ning doesn't want me to come find you. You left in such a hurry; eight out of ten chances it's because she secretly called you to tip you off while I was on my way over."

Chen Yang immediately shook his head to deny: "Miss Chu, you misunderstood. Chu Ning didn't call me; it's really that my company has matters to attend to."

Chu Min didn't believe him, extending her left hand toward Chen Yang and saying: "You say Chu Ning didn't call you—then hand over your phone for me to check."

Chen Yang dared not let Chu Min see his phone, refusing her request without hesitation: "Miss Chu, I'm sorry, but my phone is my personal privacy—I truly can't give it to you."

Chu Min glared at Chen Yang, resentfully saying: "As Miss Chu, I have both a good figure and good looks—where am I lacking for you?"

Chen Yang sighed: "Miss Chu, you are truly outstanding. But I just got divorced not long ago, and I really don't want to put myself in shackles again."

Chu Min said indifferently: "I'm not asking you to marry me; dating is fine too!"

Chen Yang felt his refusal had already been polite enough, but he didn't expect her to keep pestering him. Left with no choice, he played his trump card: "Miss Chu, don't blame me for not telling you—I actually like men!"

You… like men?" Chu Min looked at Chen Yang with an incredulous gaze. She felt her world was about to collapse. How could such a handsome, wealthy person have such a strange fetish!"

Really! If you don't believe me, you can ask Chu Ning.

Sorry to bother you.

Chu Min couldn't accept the information she heard, quickly drove away. Only after her car had completely disappeared did Chen Yang let out a sigh of relief.

To make the pretense real, he sent a message to Chu Ning, then immediately flew back to Xingcheng.

Two days later, Luosen suddenly called Chen Yang.

Chen Yang, everyone outside is rumoring that you like men—could it really be true?

Was it Miss Chu who told you?

I don't know, but anyway, the upper-class circles of Yangcheng have all spread it.

……

Chen Yang, you've only been divorced once—no need to take it to heart! Losing one tree, you can still embrace the whole forest!

I was just joking with Miss Chu Min, never expecting her to spread it everywhere. Truly sinful!

Ah……, Chu Min's personality is much better than Chu Ning's. What exactly have you done that's unforgivable? She wants to destroy you like this…

Chen Yang felt helpless and could only confess to Luosen that he had rejected Chu Min's pursuit.

Luosen exclaimed, "You little brat, you're quite lucky with women! So many women like you."

Chen Yang said, laughing and crying, "Old Luo, stop messing with me. Quickly think of a way to restore my reputation!"

Luosen was silent for a while, then said, "To undo the bell, you need the person who tied it—this matter still has to be settled by Chu Min!"

"How do we resolve it?" Chen Yang asked him. "You're not going to ask me to marry her, are you?"

Luosen laughed, "Chu Min's standards are not bad for you! Besides, she's also divorced, so she won't hold your past against you."

Chen Yang said irritably, "Big brother, I asked you to give me ideas, not to help her piss me off!"

Luosen laughed heartily for a moment, then said, "Actually, dealing with this isn't hard. Chu Min's biggest flaw is her love of spending money—her ex-husband divorced her because he couldn't meet her financially. If you want her to restore your reputation, just use money to solve the problem."

Chen Yang was utterly speechless. It was obviously Chu Min who ruined his reputation, yet in the end he has to spend money to settle it. What kind of nonsense is this!
