Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1706 Covetousness Again 23

Starting from the next day, Hua Yong sent homemade cookies to Sheng Shaoyou. The two had added each other on Green Bubble before on the pretext of repaying the loan. Since then, Hua Yong no longer had to use Shen Wenlang's phone to check Sheng Shaoyou's circle of friends.

The small cookies that Hua Yong sent were not only a token of thoughtfulness, but also made with the finest ingredients. Knowing that Sheng Shaoyou didn't like sweets, the proportion of sucrose in the cookies must have been experimented with many times before a finished product with both excellent texture and taste was obtained.

Hua Yong is not the kind of person like Shen Wenlang who would use harsh words to hide his true thoughts after doing something. He directly sent a message to Sheng Shaoyou to show off his achievements: Mr. Sheng, I made cookies. You must be hungry sometimes due to your busy work, and you can fill your stomach.

Sheng Shaoyou symbolically ate two pieces and really didn't want to touch it anymore, but he also accepted Hua Yong's kindness: I ate two pieces, it tasted good, thank you very much.

Hua Yong's message came immediately: "I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I made the original flavor. It would be great if you like it."

Sheng Shaoyou directly stopped him from continuing to give him cookies: I don’t have a good taste for sweets, so there’s no need to give me any more.

Hua Yong originally wanted to test Sheng Shaoyou by lending him a small cookie, but Sheng Shaoyou rejected him directly. The first attempt could only end here. He had no choice but to send him a few crying emojis: What does Mr. Sheng like? I really want to do something for you (shame)

Sheng Shaoyou sighed, thought for a while, and replied: You don’t have to do anything for me, just live your own life well, which is better than anything else.

That same day, Hua Yong updated her Moments with a single white cloud, captioned: "He has a mean tongue, but a softer heart than a cloud. Thank you, my Mr. X."

Hua Yong continued to send biscuits later, but the amount was limited to about three or five pieces, just like Sheng Shaoyou could fill his stomach when he was hungry.

But one day later, Hua Yong posted a picture of a little golden retriever caught in the rain on his circle of friends, and the caption was just a depressed emoticon. Sheng Shaoyou thought about it and called him directly.

Hua Yong answered the phone quickly, his voice conveying his happiness: "Mr. Sheng!"

Sheng Shaoyou asked directly, "I saw the little golden retriever caught in the rain in your circle of friends. Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Hua Yong was very happy that Sheng Shaoyou was paying attention to her, but she still felt a little embarrassed, as if some words would become complaints once they were spoken. "I've been a little busy lately, busy with overtime and moving."

Sheng Shaoyou didn't expect Hua Yong to be worried about moving, so he said directly, "You really should move. I think I have an apartment near your company, and it won't cost you much rent. You just need to help with the daily cleaning and maintenance, and add some popularity."

Hua Yong wanted to live with Sheng Shaoyou right away, but he knew that was not how it worked. He also knew that the rent for Sheng Shaoyou's apartment near HS Group must be very expensive, so he refused directly. "No need, Mr. Sheng, your apartment's monthly rent is not even close to 20,000, and my budget is only 2,000--"

Sheng Shaoyou didn't take it seriously. "Didn't I say that I'll do the daily cleaning and maintenance, and help increase popularity? Can you just make up the difference?"

Hua Yong burst into laughter and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Sheng, are you so nice to everyone?"

Sheng Shaoyou scoffed at him, "What do you think?"

Then Sheng Shaoyou asked again: "When are you planning to move? I'll find someone to help you."

Hua Yong quickly refused, not forgetting to make Sheng Shaoyou feel distressed: "No need, Mr. Sheng, I don't have anything, just some clothes. The landlord said he would open the door for me when I move out. I've been staying at a friend's house recently, and I've put away all the necessary items."

Even though Sheng Shaoyou knew it was Hua Yong's trick, he was still shocked, "What kind of landlord is so arrogant!"

"Hua Yong, why are you so easy to bully?"

"I'll send you the access control and password in a moment. You can move in today and don't refuse. I might stay there occasionally in the future. If you really feel bad about it, just take care of me and make me some late-night snacks or breakfast."

Hua Yong still hesitated: "But Mr. Sheng, I owe you such a big favor again——"

Sheng Shaoyou didn't care and tried to persuade him: "As the saying goes, too much debt is better than nothing. Just be grateful for it."

Hua Yong could feel that Sheng Shaoyou really wanted to help him solve his problems, and he himself also really wanted to take this opportunity to further improve his relationship with Sheng Shaoyou, but he vaguely felt that something seemed wrong, and did not want to miss the good opportunity he had carefully planned.

That night, Sheng Shaoyou took Hua Yong to live in the apartment he had mentioned. Hua Yong didn't have much luggage, just two suitcases, so the moving company hired by Sheng Shaoyou was completely useless.

When Hua Yong walked in and saw the entire apartment, he immediately regretted agreeing to move in. "Mr. Sheng, this apartment..."

"Is it too big?"

Sheng Shaoyou watched as Hua Yong's luggage was put into the luggage room. Then he turned around and smiled, "Why, everyone thinks small is better than big, but when it comes to you, it's the other way around?"

Feeling Sheng Shaoyou's sincere good mood, Hua Yong silently hoped that such a good mood was brought to Sheng Shaoyou by herself.

After Sheng Shaoyou sent the person over and settled him down, he turned around and said goodbye, waiting for the further drama arranged by Hua Yong.

However, Sheng Shaoyou didn't expect to see Hua Yong again at the business dinner held to celebrate the appointment of the new president of the Jianghu Chamber of Commerce.

Sheng Shaoyou brought Shu Xin to attend this dinner.

Shu Xin is a social butterfly who is good at dealing with people. Although she may not be able to do other things, she is very skilled in helping Sheng Shaoyou block alcohol. That's why Sheng Shaoyou takes her with him to every occasion recently and even gives her his secondary card to use at will.

Don't be fooled by her delicate appearance. In fact, this girl is a talented person with a gentle exterior but a strong interior. With her increasingly sophisticated skills in socializing, she will definitely achieve something great. Therefore, Sheng Shaoyou is not stingy with his advice and help. This girl is currently studying hard and will start working as soon as she finds her goal.

When talking about rising stars in the business world of Jianghu, Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang are definitely mentioned.

Sheng Shaoyou is a well-rounded rich second-generation. Since his student days, he has been regarded by many seniors as a good kid who they wish they had been born into their own families. After taking over, they gradually treated him as an equal.

Shen Wenlang is said to have a strong background and started from scratch. Now he has a relationship with X Holdings. He has a bright future. Even though he has a bad temper and a stubborn personality, there are still many people who flatter him.

After a round of socializing, the new president asked Sheng Shaoyou to introduce him to Shen Wenlang, "Mr. Sheng, you are the best successor of this generation. And Mr. Shen is here too. You are both very rare young talents, so I'm sure there will be some topics to talk about."

Shen Wenlang brought Hua Yong, who was wearing a gray suit, over and smiled broadly at the new president. "President, you're too kind. I've had some conversations with Shao You, and we had quite a pleasant chat."

Seeing that Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang were both very respectful to him, the president felt proud and even happier. He directly arranged Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang's seats together. Later, someone came and the president had to go out to entertain them, leaving Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang with a changed face.
