One must know that An Sheng Group is not listed on any domestic or international stock exchange.
Therefore, no one can say for sure exactly how much wealth it possesses.
Furthermore, their family holds the control over the vast majority of mineral resources in the Xishan Area firmly in their hands.
This is equivalent to directly gripping the majority of the local economic lifelines.
In addition, in a place like Chengdu, An Sheng Group is also among the top-tier entities.
Its strength is so formidable that it cannot be ignored.
What is even more noteworthy is that, according to messages previously sent back by the Security Team, An Sheng Group has already established its own invisible influence in overseas countries and regions as far as Brazil and even Russia.
Jiang Cheng knew very well in his heart that An Xin was by no means as simple and harmless as she appeared on the surface.
Her moral values seemed to be much more flexible and adaptable than he had anticipated.
When Wen Ang met with his accident, An Xin immediately guessed that it was all Jiang Cheng's doing.
This showed that she possessed keen insight and judgment.
Furthermore, An Xin had once revealed that when she discovered Wen Ang had sent people to stalk Annie, she had already planned to take action against him.
Clearly, she was not a character who would allow herself to be manipulated.
More importantly, when Wen Ang's accident happened, it could be inferred from An Xin's expression and tone at the time that she was already accustomed to such things and didn't care in the slightest.
This meant she might have experienced or witnessed similar events, giving her a certain level of acceptance for such behavior.
Seeing that Zhou Ying had finished the procedures and walked back, An Xin stopped saying anything more.
She silently lowered her head and said softly to Annie, "Annie, it's almost time. It's your turn to go in and practice."
Hearing this, Annie pouted her little mouth reluctantly.
But she still quickly turned around, looked at Jiang Cheng with a hint of attachment and reluctance, and said firmly, "Brother Jiang Cheng, I'm going to practice the piano. But don't worry, one day, I will become even more amazing than this sister!" After speaking, she even clenched her fist to encourage herself.
Zhou Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle upon hearing this, encouraging her, "Then you'd better work hard!"
Annie gave a confident snort, indicating that she would definitely have no problem.
After leaving the Steinway, as soon as they got into the car, Zhou Ying asked with a smile, "darling, Annie is so cute, and she's mixed-race; she'll definitely be very beautiful when she grows up."
"That naughty child just looks good, but in reality, she's very mischievous."
"It's a good thing for children to be a bit mischievous. By the way, does Sister An also know Zhao Jia??"
Seeing Zhou Ying mention Zhao Jia, Jiang Cheng immediately recalled the conversation between her and An Xin just now.
As expected, no wonder when An Xin's skill was activated, Zhou Ying acted as if nothing was wrong.
It turned out she thought the "girlfriend" An Xin was talking about was Zhao Jia.
As a good man, before it was necessary to reveal the truth, Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't take the initiative to expose himself.
Moreover, this person was Zhou Ying.
He had to admit that Zhou Ying indeed occupied a very special position in his heart.
This wasn't just because Zhou Ying was the one who made his heart flutter the most among all the girls, but more crucially, she was also the witness of his green and youthful years.
The common memories between the two of them contained that most pure period of youth.
Although the person Jiang Cheng liked back then was Zhao Jia, as long as one was a man, they would still have some fantasies about the most beautiful campus belle in the school.
Jiang Cheng immediately went along with it and said, "Yeah, we met once before."
Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Zhou Ying's hanging heart finally settled back into her stomach.
In fact, it wasn't that she hadn't had any doubts; after all, An Xin's tone just now was somewhat unusual.
However, at this moment, she was unwilling to dig deeper into the truth of the matter because Jiang Cheng treated her really well.
So well that she was unwilling to wake up from this dream.
Even before she and Jiang Cheng had confirmed their relationship, Jiang Cheng had been so good to her.
He not only bought her a car and a house but also solved her uncle's problems and helped her family take revenge.
This deep affection and kindness made Zhou Ying so intoxicated that she couldn't extricate herself.
So as long as Jiang Cheng said it, she believed it.
If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, she wouldn't be able to continue her favorite studies without any distractions now.
With her talent, if those things hadn't happened to her family, she should be studying abroad now, focusing on her piano major.
Although she couldn't be compared with those top-tier players, with her extraordinary talent, there was still a possibility of standing on the international stage to participate in competitions.
She knew well that Jiang Cheng's family background was out of the ordinary, so Zhou Ying didn't dare to be the least bit careless.
Even if her current starting line was relatively low, she did her best to make herself shine.
Right at this moment, Jiang Cheng's phone rang suddenly.
Seeing the caller ID was Chen Xueer, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, then tapped the screen to answer the call.
If the person calling at this moment were Qiao Yinyin or Yu Xiaoxiao and the others, Jiang Cheng would probably have turned off the call answering function in the car system without hesitation.
After all, once answered, that "darling" would very likely go straight into Zhou Ying's ears.
With this experience, Jiang Cheng deeply realized that in the future, no matter who was sitting in the passenger seat, it was very necessary to set the phone to silent mode while driving.
After all, he was a good man; even if there were another woman in the car right now, he couldn't let that happen.
Just as Wang Yuyan had once said, she was willing to serve Jiang Cheng and be the canary behind him.
But she could not tolerate Jiang Cheng taking other women to the Luxury Hotel to book a room; this was not out of jealousy or selfishness, but because she was unwilling to serve any woman other than herself.
By the same token, the others were the same.
Taking Yu Xiaoxiao and Qiao Yinyin as examples, although they could understand and accept that there might be other women around Jiang Cheng, this didn't mean they were willing to witness Jiang Cheng being all lovey-dovey and romantic with another woman in front of them.
Besides, Jiang Cheng didn't have such a bad habit or hobby.
No matter what the reason was for the women around him to be with him, Jiang Cheng would still give them the most basic respect.
In other words, when he was with Zhou Ying today, he would wholeheartedly protect and care for her.
Tomorrow, when he walked hand in hand with Yu Xiaoxiao, he would single-mindedly love and pamper her.
This was the best state Jiang Cheng felt at the moment.
Just then, the phone rang again, and Chen Xueer's soft and charming voice came from the other end. "Hello, darling Chairman Jiang, may I ask if you are busy right now??"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression turned serious, and he gave a light cough, saying, "Manager Chen, is there something again? I'm driving."
"My dear Chairman Jiang, you haven't come back to sign and verify the equity transfer documents for Fierce Cat yet. I've been urging you for several days, and you really don't take this matter to heart at all."
Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Cheng's face, and after a few dry laughs, he replied, "Alright, alright, I'll head over to handle it right now."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng turned the car around without hesitation and sped off in the direction of Yangpu District.
"Let's go to Xingchen Investment Company to sign the contract first," Jiang Cheng said, turning to look at Zhou Ying.
Hearing that Jiang Cheng was going to take her to his company, a warm current couldn't help but surge in Zhou Ying's heart.
This kind of gesture, being willing to take her into a public setting, meant that Jiang Cheng didn't have other women hidden in the company.
More importantly, it showed Jiang Cheng's recognition and regard for her.
Zhou Ying beamed with joy, lightly covering her mouth and chuckling, "Is this the general manager of your company? She sounds quite interesting."
Jiang Cheng nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yeah, her name is Chen Xueer, and she's currently responsible for managing Xingchen Investment affairs for me."
Regarding Chen Xueer, Jiang Cheng had always maintained the same attitude as before, so he felt there was no need to hide anything.
Besides, among the many women, Chen Xueer was also the one who made him feel the most at ease.
After all, the manager for this position was a reward given by the system.
Back then, Jiang Cheng had admitted in front of Chen Xueer that he had quite a few girlfriends.
That news instantly caused the favorability value in Chen Xueer's heart to plummet to rock bottom.
However, even under such extreme emotions, her loyalty to Jiang Cheng still remained steadily at the high level of 120 points.
After testing these things, Jiang Cheng finally understood.
No matter what her state of mind or what kind of situation she faced, Chen Xueer would always put her own interests first.
Most importantly, this loyalty set by the system was not affected by anything.
So Jiang Cheng believed that even if she witnessed him appearing with Zhou Ying in a moment, she would definitely not do anything detrimental to him like An Xin did just now.
Although for Chen Xueer, Jiang Cheng didn't necessarily have to have her.
But now she already knew that Jiang Cheng was surrounded by numerous girls.
Perhaps at the very beginning, she still found it hard to accept this.
But with some things, when you are mentally prepared, as time passes and you are occasionally and continuously reminded and exposed to it in front of her...
Over time, maybe she would gradually become accustomed to it or even slowly accept it.
More than half an hour later, the vehicle came to a steady stop in the parking lot of Xingchen Company.
When the car stopped at the elevator entrance, Zhou Ying pushed open the car door and at a glance saw Yu Xiaoxiao's striking pink Lamborghini.
This supercar was like a dazzling pearl, exuding a charming allure.
Most girls would find it hard to refuse such a pink big toy, or even have no resistance to it at all.
Seeing Zhou Ying's gaze firmly attracted, looking at Yu Xiaoxiao's car with glowing eyes, Jiang Cheng asked, "You like it?? Shall I buy one for you?"
Zhou Ying felt Jiang Cheng's gaze, shook her head gently, and then said with feigned composure, "This car probably isn't that great; none of the people around me drive it, and not many people drive it on the road either. Forget it, let's not buy it."
Hearing these words, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He pulled Zhou Ying over and took her directly into his arms.
Then he said, "Haha, I see you're the real surfing expert; I've found that you know so many memes..."
Zhou Ying leaned against Jiang Cheng with a smile: "Actually, it's true that this sentence is a popular saying on the internet, but it really did happen to me. It was in the first year of high school; didn't our family driver often drive a bentley to pick me up? At that time, Xu Ya saw it, and the next day I heard her telling other classmates—that car probably isn't much; I've never seen that brand on the road before, maybe it's some miscellaneous brand, it's definitely not as good as the Dior at Jiang Cheng's house."
Xu Ya usually gave people the impression of being a gold-digger, but she actually didn't even recognize the bentley logo, which was somewhat surprising to Jiang Cheng.
Compared to those top-tier luxury car brands that were like thunder piercing the ears, such as rolls-royce, bmw, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, etc., the popularity of bentley was indeed a notch lower.
"Such a thing actually happened?" Jiang—
"Yeah, you didn't know? Xu Ya talked about you all day long; everyone knew she liked you. When school first started, she even regarded me as a competitor and targeted me everywhere. Later, because you pursued Zhao Jia, she changed her attitude and stopped making things difficult for me."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown.
Jiang Cheng naturally knew about the fact that Xu Ya harbored feelings for him.
At that time, his good brother Zhou Zhiyun was also simping for Xu Ya.
Jiang Cheng had advised him many times because of this.
"You girls' small circles are indeed complex..."
While the two were talking, the elevator had already reached its destination—Xingchen Investment Company.
Jiang Cheng led Zhou Ying into the company's main entrance with ease.
Seeing Zhou Ying following closely beside Jiang Cheng, the Front Desk Girl, who was originally very familiar with Jiang Cheng, had a slight change in expression, a hint of bitterness and loss appearing in her eyes.
However, she still forced a smile and greeted Jiang Cheng, "Hello, Chairman Jiang."
He paid no mind to the Front Desk Girl's abnormality.
He reined in his usual casual and cynical attitude, and his expression became exceptionally solemn and serious.
"Oh my god, I'm heartbroken."
"Sob, let's just end it here; I choose dignity."
"Let flowers be flowers, let trees be trees, give yourself back to yourself, and give him back to others, boohoo..."
Without noticing the sound of hearts breaking among the group of girls in the office, Jiang Cheng tightly held Zhou Ying's hand and walked toward Chen Xueer.
Seeing someone walk in.
At this moment, Chen Xueer, who was buried in a pile of documents, looked up.
Her gaze happened to fall on the tightly held hands of Jiang Cheng and Zhou Ying, and she was instantly stunned.
Her eyes involuntarily lingered on those two interlaced hands, as if time had frozen at this moment.
However, after just a few short seconds, Chen Xueer snapped out of it, and her expression quickly returned to normal, showing no trace of a ripple.
Compared to her reaction when she witnessed Jiang Cheng hugging Xiao Xia last time, Chen Xueer was obviously much more composed this time.
She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and then quickly stood up and walked toward them.
"Chairman Jiang, you're finally here. This is...?"
"This is my girlfriend, Zhou Ying," Jiang Cheng introduced in a calm tone.
Hearing this answer, although a professional smile still hung on Chen Xueer's face, in the depths of her heart, she couldn't help but complain: "scumbag scumbag scumbag scumbag!"
