Chapter 94: Wait and See

A few days later, at noon on the day of the project roadshow.

Chen Che, Cheng Kexin, Cheng Kexiang, and Li Qingyan arrived together at the Roadshow Hall on the top floor of the Investment Building.

The entrance to the hall was already crowded with people; some were being guided inside by hostesses to wait for the roadshow to begin, while others were chatting at the entrance.

As for the four of them, they belonged to a third category.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, Cheng Kexiang pulled the three of them into a corner, her face full of nervousness, looking like she was about to cry.

"Sister, I... do you think I can do it?" Cheng Kexiang's hands were trembling, and her whole body was tense.

Cheng Kexiang had her hair put up today, wore exquisite makeup, and was dressed in a professional suit paired with black stockings and high heels; she looked capable, yet failed to appear sexy.

Instead, it looked more like a child wearing adult clothes, trying hard to act mature, creating an indescribable sense of incongruity.

Cheng Kexin held her trembling hands and smiled gently: "Don't worry, you've prepared for so long, there will definitely be no problem."

Cheng Kexin was originally supposed to go to work at the Inspection Department today, but she couldn't stop worrying about Cheng Kexiang, so she came along too.

She was dressed the same as Cheng Kexiang, but being a few years older, her temperament was completely different from her sister who was only in her early twenties, revealing both intelligence and sexiness to the fullest.

"I... I'm nervous..."

It was Cheng Kexiang's first time attending such an occasion, and she was burdened with the heavy responsibility of the sisters' future freedom of marriage; the immense pressure made her whole body shake and her eyes moisten.

"Don't be nervous, just treat it like an exam. You've studied hard for so many days, you will definitely get a good result today!"

Li Qingyan's outfit today was very simple: a low ponytail, light makeup, a linen dress, and white sneakers.

Compared to the formality of the Cheng sisters, she had the approachability and casualness of a girl-next-door.

Li Qingyan leaned in, gently stroked Cheng Kexiang's back, and while comforting her with a warm voice, massaged a few acupoints to relieve tension.

"Don't worry, you can definitely do it, believe in yourself."

Chen Che's role today was that of a Bodyguard; dressed in a black suit and leaning against a pillar, he also offered words of comfort.

Cheng Kexiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and clenched her fists to cheer herself on: "Mm, I can definitely do it!"

The three of them smiled with relief, their expressions very meaningful.

Among the four, only Cheng Kexiang did not know that the matter had already been resolved.

This was also a decision made by the three after consultation, to give Cheng Kexiang a chance for training and a test.

Cheng Kexiang was the youngest in the family, raised in luxury since childhood, and had never experienced any major storms.

Now that Cheng Zhiyong's family had been sent to the Public Security Bureau, and Cheng Kexin was determined to shine in the Inspection Department, the future of the Cheng Family would inevitably fall into Cheng Kexiang's hands.

In this way, she must possess the courage and ability to solve all difficulties herself!

As the four were chatting, Cheng Kexiang suddenly looked up and saw someone walking over from the front, with many people going up to greet him.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Kexiang said:

"Peng Hui has arrived. He is the star of today's project roadshow. It is said that Yanyu Investment Group is going to invest in his new energy company. If this news is true, then his company's listing is a certainty, and the valuation will be very high. Many investment companies are also keeping an eye on Yanyu Group's investment decision today, preparing to follow the investment."

"It seems the influence and appeal of Yanyu Investment Group are not ordinary," Li Qingyan said.

"That's not all."

Seeing Peng Hui walking toward them, Cheng Kexin frowned and said: "Peng Hui is just an agent for the new energy company; the real boss behind him is Zhang Shouhang."

"So he came over to cause trouble?" Chen Che narrowed his eyes, sizing up Peng Hui.

"Miss Cheng."

Peng Hui arrived in front of Cheng Kexin, nodded slightly, and said: "My young master invites you all to have a word next door."

Next door?

Chen Che followed the direction of Peng Hui's finger and saw the Smoking Area in the southeast corner of the hall.

Cheng Kexin sneered: "Your young master has quite the ego, making so many of us go to find him."

"My young master is discussing matters with an important person and is not convenient to come and see you all," Peng Hui said expressionlessly.

Just as Cheng Kexin was about to flare up again, Chen Che stopped her, looked at Cheng Kexiang, and smiled: "You are the protagonist today, you decide whether to go or not."

Cheng Kexiang was startled, looked at the three of them, and finally turned her gaze toward Peng Hui, clenched her fists, and said: "Let's go!"

Under Peng Hui's guidance, the four arrived at the Smoking Area.

It was not filled with smoke as imagined; the air was quite clean, and there were only two people there.

Zhang Shouhang and a middle-aged man were standing by the window, chatting about something.

Seeing Chen Che and the others enter, the conversation between Zhang Shouhang and the middle-aged man came to an end.

The middle-aged man said his goodbyes and turned to leave. The moment he walked out, Cheng Kexiang recognized him.

He was the Branch Manager of this project roadshow, and also the Branch Manager of Yanyu Group in Shanghai—Li Jiangbei.

Cheng Kexiang's expression instantly turned grave; her mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, feeling very chaotic.

Why was Li Jiangbei here? What did Zhang Shouhang talk to him about?

Cheng Kexin also recognized Li Jiangbei; her expression changed, and she looked at Zhang Shouhang, asking: "Was that Li Jiangbei who just left?"

Zhang Shouhang naturally observed the expressions of the Cheng sisters, and a smug smile tugged at the corners of his mouth: "That's right, it is indeed the Branch Manager of this project roadshow, Li Jiangbei."

Chen Che realized and said: "So that's the purpose of calling us over."

"Just as you can see, I have already talked it over with Manager Li; today's investment is a certainty for the Zhang Family."

Zhang Shouhang revealed a sinister sneer: "And the cooperation we discussed is not just for the new energy company under my name, but for all the enterprises of the Zhang Family.

After today, a large amount of capital will flow into the Zhang Family, and the Zhang Family will be stronger than ever before.

By then, I will cut off all cooperation between the Zhang Family and the Cheng Family, and unite with other families in Shanghai to isolate the Cheng Family together, until the Cheng Family is destroyed!"

"Zhang Shouhang, you are truly despicable!" Cheng Kexiang roared.

"Despicable?"

Zhang Shouhang sneered with disdain: "I am despicable, so what can you do to me? In Shanghai, I will not let go of anyone who dares to defy me!"

"Of course, the marriage contract between the Zhang Family and the Cheng Family still stands."

Zhang Shouhang's gaze lingered on Cheng Kexin and Chen Che, "The Patriarch and Uncle Cheng have already explained the situation to me; it is you two who disregarded the family's wishes and engaged in illicit relations, causing me to lose all face."

"However, I am a magnanimous person and can forgive your behavior, you slut. You may marry me, but you are not worthy of being my woman. You must cripple your Martial Artist cultivation, withdraw from the Justice Patrol Bureau, and become a dog I keep at home—a lowly bitch for me to vent my abuse upon!"

"Slap!"

Burning with rage, Cheng Kexin recklessly swung a slap at Zhang Shouhang, but Peng Hui, who was standing to the side, had been on guard and quickly blocked in front of Zhang Shouhang, taking the slap in his stead.

Cheng Kexin had used her full strength in that slap; the full force of a Seventh Grade Martial Artist was enough to explode the head of an ordinary person, yet Peng Hui only had blood at the corner of his mouth and was otherwise unharmed, clearly also being a Martial Artist.

"Zhang Shouhang, do you really think I would marry you? You are not worthy at all! You weren't worthy before, you aren't worthy now, and you will be even less worthy in the future!"

Cheng Kexin's shoulders heaved as she said this angrily.

Zhang Shouhang leaned out from behind Peng Hui and sneered, "When the Cheng Family reaches a point where heaven won't answer and the earth won't respond, you will come begging to be my dog."

Zhang Shouhang then looked at Chen Che and said viciously, "And you, you are the first person to dare to cuckold me. So what if you are the Divine Doctor's junior brother? As long as you are still in Shanghai, I have a hundred ways to kill you! If you have the guts, don't run; once the project roadshow ends, I will finish off both you and the Cheng Family together!"

Chen Che looked at Zhang Shouhang with pity and smiled, "Alright, let us wait and see."
