The taxi raced along the expressway; wherever there were no cameras, the driver stomped on the accelerator, pushing the speed to 130, even 140.

Wang Dashan sat in the back seat, looking anxious, glancing at the time on his mobile phone from time to time.

He knew that this meeting with Cheng Cheng was very important to him, a matter of life and death for his Shanhai Real Estate.

Besides sincerity, punctuality, keeping promises—these sincerities that weren't worth much—he couldn't offer anything else of value to Cheng Cheng.

So he was extremely eager to reach Julong Bay within an hour as agreed.

"Master, can you go faster?"

As for driving safety, he didn't consider it at all.

Fortunately, this taxi driver was an old hand with over ten years of driving experience; although he drove fast, he was still fairly steady.

"I can't speed up anymore, there's a camera ahead, I have to slow down, otherwise points will be deducted from my license."

The driver said this, and then added:

"Don't worry, at this speed I can definitely get you to the gate of Julong Bay Hot Spring Hotel within an hour! I've been there; once off the expressway, it's not far."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan finally felt somewhat reassured.

He was now thinking about how to present himself when he met Cheng Cheng later.

First, he must sincerely apologize to her.

Previously he had blocked her; even if she didn't mind, he still had to show sincerity.

Second, he must satisfy any of her requests; even if it truly meant sacrificing his body, he had to agree.

For Shanhai Real Estate, for success, Wang Dashan threw caution to the wind.

He thought to himself, anyway he and Du Xiaojuan had already broken up, he was a single man, even if he had some relationship with Cheng Cheng, no one could condemn him!

Although he still felt some resistance in his heart, he had to overcome this resistant emotion himself.

One can only say that Wang Dashan's change in attitude toward Cheng Cheng verified a principle: what people teach won't stick, but what events teach is learned at once.

Previously Cheng Cheng had told Wang Dashan many very realistic but also very true principles, analyzing for him the operating rules of this society, telling him from the bottom of her heart the importance of money, that so-called morality, so-called love, were actually not that important.

But he had completely failed to take it to heart; he resolutely followed his inner choice, confessed to Du Xiaojuan, and got together with Du Xiaojuan.

Now after breaking up with Du Xiaojuan, he struggled on the path of entrepreneurship, and only then deeply realized money was truly important; having been taught a lesson by society, he was no longer as naive and simple as before, he could really do things against his inner will to gain Cheng Cheng's trust.

Even if others might say he was eating soft rice, he wouldn't care.

However, would things really develop as he thought?

Would Cheng Cheng really give him another chance?

The taxi arrived at Julong Bay Hot Spring Hotel, and Wang Dashan hurriedly got out of the car.

Only fifty minutes had passed, yet he was ten minutes early.

Wang Dashan quickly called Cheng Cheng:

"Aunt Cheng, I've arrived, I'm now at the gate of Julong Bay Hot Spring Hotel."

Cheng Cheng laughed:

"Very good, then come in; I'm at the garden villa side, tell the security guard and he'll tell you how to get there."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Wang Dashan nodded repeatedly, then thanked her: "Aunt Cheng, thank you for giving me another chance."

Cheng Cheng just smiled, noncommittal:

"Don't say so much, hurry over!"

Wang Dashan asked the security guard how to get there, then immediately headed toward the garden villa hot spring area.

Soon he arrived at the garden villa area where Cheng Cheng was.

But the moment he saw Cheng Cheng, he was stunned.

He saw Cheng Cheng soaking in the hot spring pool, and beside her was a young man.

That man was as young as him, as tall and sturdy as him, with even better muscle lines, and more handsome features.

Cheng Cheng was soaking in the hot spring pool with that young man.

That young man was also very considerately scrubbing Cheng Cheng's back.

"Aunt Cheng, I, I've come..."

The thousands of words Wang Dashan had prepared in his heart could not be spoken at this moment.

He was no fool; he naturally knew what relationship existed between this young man before him and Cheng Cheng.

"Dashan, you're here; let Auntie take a good look at you, how is it that after not seeing you for a few months, you've become so haggard?"

Concern appeared on Cheng Cheng's face, like an elder caring for a younger generation.

"Hehe, I've been busy with work lately, staying up late too much, I really have become quite haggard; Aunt Cheng, I came to see you to say..."

Wang Dashan was about to ask Cheng Cheng for investment; although he knew the opportunity was very slim under these circumstances, he still wanted to grit his teeth and try.

He wouldn't be as arrogant as before; he would put his posture right, even put down his dignity, and beg in the most humble way.

However, Cheng Cheng interrupted his words, saying lightly:

"Don't say anything yet, go change your clothes, and soak in the hot spring with Auntie."

Wang Dashan felt very uneasy all over, because he could clearly feel that although Cheng Cheng invited him to soak in the hot spring together, she had absolutely no such meaning; it was just simply soaking in the hot spring.

And he was no longer like before; before he hoped Cheng Cheng had no such meaning toward him, but now he eagerly hoped Cheng Cheng had that meaning toward him.

So Cheng Cheng's reaction instead made him feel disappointed in his heart.

However, he still hurriedly agreed:

"Alright alright, I'll go change clothes right away..."

Wang Dashan hurriedly did as Cheng Cheng said.

He dared not have any objection, because he knew, right now the most important thing was to curry favor with Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng invited him to soak in the hot spring, that showed he still had a sliver of opportunity.

Waiting until Wang Dashan went and changed clothes and returned, he walked into the hot spring pool, coming to Cheng Cheng's side.

Cheng Cheng laughed enthusiastically and said:

"Forgot to introduce you, this one, Han Lin, about the same age as you, an undergraduate graduate from the best university in the province, his IQ is extremely high, his knowledge is also broad, if you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask him for advice."

Wang Dashan's face wore an embarrassed smile, he took the initiative to extend a handshake and greet:

"Brother Han, hello."

Han Lin responded with a radiant smile:

"Hello hello, I heard Aunt Cheng say, you used to be Aunt Cheng's friend, and also served as a soldier, I admire people who have served as soldiers the most, they not only contribute to the country, but also all have great backbone."

Wang Dashan immediately felt deeply ashamed.

He has now become so lowly as to actively beg Cheng Cheng to bestow him soft rice to eat, where does he still have any backbone?

He felt he had disgraced retired soldiers, he truly deserved to die!

But, life yet again forced him to have to continue lowering his head.

He already had no other road to walk.

He must succeed.

And wanting to succeed, getting close to Cheng Cheng, was obviously the fastest shortcut.

"Right, Dashan, what did you come find me for?" At this moment, Cheng Cheng took the initiative to ask Wang Dashan this one sentence.

Wang Dashan thought he had gotten an opportunity, hurriedly saying:

"Aunt Cheng, my company has been established, you previously said you could invest in me right? Now my company has encountered a bit of difficulty, see if you can, more or less invest a bit for me..."

Wang Dashan's tone was extremely lowly.

Nearly like begging.
