"Yes! That song was created by me." Chen Hao acts honest with Mei Ling. There was a hint of confidence on his face, even though what he had said was not entirely false and he was the one who had composed that song in this version of events.
However, Mei Ling was a perceptive kind of girl, and she could see that Chen Hao was a little hesitant.
Nevertheless, she went silent again after giving it some thought and did not criticize Chen Hao for it.
"So, are you up for it?" When Chen Hao noticed that Mei Ling was becoming silent once more, Mei Ling presumably did not contradict him this time and instead stated that she would give it some thought after reading the song's lyrics.
While Chen Hao grinned and assured her that he would send the song's lyrics and music over chat, he was able to obtain Mei Ling's phone number.
Even though he was operating the vehicle, Chen Hao's gaze was fixed on Mei Ling, who was staring out the window, thinking about something.
It took him a moment to realize that Mei Ling might be having some sort of momentary concern.
'Getting the ride is fine. But there, this car will bring a lot of unwanted attention.' Mei Ling was wondering about that.
Ultimately, she was working that part-time job that her aunt had given her because she was from a common district and her family was not very wealthy.
And after her father's death, her mother had been working hard to run this family, and her part-time job was to cover for her own class.
"I will park at the next parking lot. So we can travel to your home by foot from there."
Chen Hao could tell with a glance what was going through Mei Ling's mind, so he moved quickly since he knew the little girl did not want any unwanted attention.
"Uh, sure!" Mei Ling was taken aback by Chen Hao's remarks and became aware of how closely Chen Hao had been observing her behavior all along.
Not to mention, he has the rare quality of kindness toward her and other people that she has not encountered in any of her friends.
Or maybe his action are very calculated against others. In any scenario, Mei Ling hoped to trust in Chen Hao's generosity because, up until now, his actions had shown consideration for her, even when he had first encountered her in that restaurant.
"Student Chen. I will be fine from here on out." Chen Hao walked her back and said goodbye to Mei Ling.
He had not gone inside the apartment building, so when he found out where Mei Ling's house was, he went to eat dinner at one of the eateries in this neighborhood.
Even with all that money and food, Chen Hao's true self had been eating at these little restaurants for a long time in his previous life, so it was difficult to break the habit.
Besides, Chen Hao thought the food tasted much better at these tiny restaurants than it did at those pricey 5-star establishments.
After walking not that far away, he found a small eatery in the vicinity that was packed a lot, with a lot of bustling business.
Although it appeared that most of the restaurants were closed, this one was crowded, and upon first glance, he thought the woman who worked there was exceptionally beautiful.
Chen Hao was startled when he suddenly glanced at his Big Daddy list, saw another figure there, and touched his forehead, wondering what the system was thinking at this moment.
Mei Qing!
'Another surnamed Mei.' Chen Hao wonders as he walks inside the eatery to take his seat, and he barely found an empty one at the corner end.
'Hmm, this smell good.' Sitting at the side, he waited for the order and continued to watch others, who looked bustling with activity and life.
'I am hungry.' While waiting, Chen Hao started to feel hungry until that lady came to his seat with a smile and put down the order on the table.
"Here is your order. Do you need something else?" Though her appearance suggested fatigue, her expression remained cheerful and upbeat as she greeted each person.
Talking with Chen Hao after most of her customers had left, he realized how she recognized most of her customers when she asked Chen Hao if this was his first time in her eatery.
Later! Chen Hao went back to his apartment. And after drinking some beer, he wanted to sleep, but remember that he needed to call back to his mom.
A tiny smile appeared on Chen Hao's face as soon as he received a call from that specific number.
With that, Chen Hao walked out of his apartment and directly went to the parking lot.
Before this!
Li Apartment!
Based on his conversation with Chen Hao, Old Wen concluded that the boy was clearly interested in Zhang Weiyi, the wife of the Zhang family.
Since Li Jungzhon had a crafty personality and was obviously using his wife's natural beauty to gain some freedom, Old Wen decided to pay them a visit, even though he never let anyone make a direct approach.
He was an extremely cunning old bastard who understood how to use his own partner's value as bait to attract a larger shark for partnership and keep her for a big wig.
Because of this, Zhang Weiyi, who was in an arranged marriage to this man, was never happy because she was not his only wife and he had been using her all along to win over other people's trust.
But she was also not that against it. Given how attractive a girl is in this world, they have an advantage over all men, especially when it comes to negotiating. After all, she had witnessed worse cases in her life than this one.
Not to mention the absurd exchange partner program that exists in this society, she was already under pressure to prove that her situation was not all that horrible in comparison to her friends from her college days.
After all, a guy who could understand a girl or a woman and treat them like an absolute treasure is yet to be born in this world.
Considering how attractive a girl is, men eventually grow tired of them after a few years. And that is one bitter reality of this world.
'Haha! Mr. Li, I came too suddenly, I hope you will not mind me.' Old Wen visited the guy's house with a broad smile. Without holding back his laughter, Old Wen nodded at Li Jungzhon and his wife before giving her a serious look and then taking his seat.
"It is nothing, Mr. Wen. We are not troubled at all, but it sure came as a surprise." When Li Jungzhon greeted Old Wen, he looked quite assertive and laughed while slyly glancing at Old Wen's bodyguards, especially at his secretory.
"Not bad, not bad. So, can we have a private chat with you, Mr. Li?" Hearing the Old Wen tone, Li Jungzhon nodded and walked along with that old guy toward the balcony with a serious look on his face.
"To be straight,. I met with a certain guy who spent!!!" Old Wen was downright straightforward with his words, while Li Jungzhon looked pretty serious about it.
Li Jungzhon's expression was quite erratic during the conversation, but after a minute, he nodded and then agreed with Old Wen's remarks.
He then inquired as to whether Old Wen would back him at the upcoming assembly.
