The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

"Richard just sent me a message saying that Deng Jin has been living overseas for the past twenty years. He couldn't find out anything else."

"So do you also think he has something to do with my parents?"

Chong Jianzhi nodded and said, "I have asked Richard to continue investigating."

The game ended, and the next morning, the few people finally returned to Ningjiang from Bei'an.

The news that Nie Zheng won the second place in the incense making competition has become known to everyone through the Internet.

By the way, it also brought Touyun to a wave of hot searches. It was simply free publicity.

The competition has come to an end, and the title of runner-up in the incense making competition will bring Touyun longer-term exposure in the future. The new products that are about to be launched have also taken advantage of this wave of popularity to do enough marketing.

After getting good grades, Nie Zheng felt like everything was a dream. After returning to Ningjiang, she even had a sense of unreality. That was the podium where her parents had once stood, and she finally stood on it, but... they were no longer there.

During the days leading up to the competition, a lot of work had accumulated. She had no time to enjoy the joy of victory, but instead had to rush into work and strive for the next quarter's KPI.

But Chong Jianzhi suddenly said that he had prepared a celebration banquet for her.

"...Celebration party?" She had worked a whole day and her mind was still a little confused. "What celebration party? I still have a lot of work to deal with..."

"Tomorrow night at seven o'clock." Chong Jianzhi did not give her a chance to refuse, but explained to her, "This celebration banquet is not only for you, but also for Touyun. I will invite the partners who are in the observation period of Touyun."

"So that's how it is." Nie Zheng nodded. "By the way, will the Chong family's people come too? They didn't think highly of me at the time, and I wanted to find a chance to show off in front of my uncle."

Seeing her boastful look, Chong Jianzhi couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and pinched her fair face: "I have invited uncle and grandfather. If they don't give me face, I will drive you to Chong's house directly after the banquet tomorrow. How about it?"

Nie Zheng held his hand back and gave him a reproachful look: "Forget it, am I just looking for trouble?"

Chong Jianzhi didn't say anything.

What he said just now sounded so high-sounding, but it was half true and half false. One of the purposes of holding the celebration banquet was indeed to negotiate with potential cooperation companies through this celebration banquet, but it was secondary, not the primary one.

The main purpose of holding this celebration banquet was actually very simple. He just wanted to show off and let everyone know that Nie Zheng won the runner-up in the incense-making competition. He wanted everyone to know how excellent and powerful he was.

By the way, give Chong another slap in the face.

That’s right, the boss of Chongda, who is so powerful in the business world and decisive in ruthlessness, is so childish.

However, he would never tell Nie Zheng about these thoughts.

The banquet hall had already been booked in advance. Chong Jianzhi had put a lot of effort into this celebration banquet and had asked Richard to arrange it in advance when he was still in Beian.

The invitation letter was sent to the Chong family early in the morning, but Mr. Chong and Chong Yixing had not responded yet.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chong Jianzhi arrived at the banquet hall with Nie Zheng on time. He specially asked a designer to design a unique evening dress for her.

The dark blue silk fabric fit her figure perfectly, outlining her exquisite curves. She didn't like long skirts that dragged on the ground, and this one just covered her ankles. However, the skirt was too narrow, making it a little inconvenient for her to walk, so she always held her brother's arm.

When they entered the venue, a beam of light suddenly shone on the two of them. Nie Zheng was in a trance and walked side by side with him on the red carpet. It seemed that this was not a celebration banquet, but a ceremony for the two of them...

Chong Jianzhi patted the back of her hand, and the warmth of his palm was passed to her, which finally relieved some of her tension.

"Brother...you didn't tell me there were so many people..."

Just a few steps away from the stage, Nie Zheng hesitated for a few seconds and saw Grandpa Chong.

It has only been two months since they last met, but Mr. Chong has actually aged a lot. In Nie Zheng's impression, although his hair is gray and his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are always bright, with an unquestionable majesty that makes people a little scared.

But when I saw him again today, his eyes were full of fatigue, like a general who had lost a battle, a bit like... a hero in his twilight years.

Gently pulling Chong Jianzhi's arm, she whispered, "Grandpa actually came...but uncle didn't come."

Chong Jianzhi seemed to have expected this. He walked towards Old Man Chong and respectfully called him "Grandpa".

During the celebration banquet, Nie Zheng needed to give a brief speech on stage, similar to an acceptance speech. She went on stage without much preparation, thinking she would just say something casually.

During this process, her eyes were always looking in the direction of Chong Jianzhi and Old Man Chong below the stage. The two of them stood together, Chong Jianzhi leaned slightly and talked to the old man. She couldn't help but become curious and eager to know what they were talking about.

Just as she finished her speech, she saw Tan Yu and Wang Baobao swaggering in.

Since these two people met in Bei'an, they have inexplicably established a friendship. Maybe because they are both talkative, they hit it off and soon called each other sisters.

Originally, she didn't want to invite Wang Baobao to the celebration party. After all, Bai Chaochao would also be there. If the two of them started arguing as soon as they met, Nie Zheng was afraid that Bai Chaochao would suffer.

But Tan Yu, who was a loud speaker, turned around and told Wang Baobao that she was going to hold a celebration party. Wang Baobao called Nie Zheng and said that he must come.

Look, the two of them came together.

Bai Chaochao was standing under the stage, with Lou Fan beside her. It was Wang Baobao who saw them first, and Tan Yu was also secretly observing from the side, fearing that Wang Baobao, with his explosive temper, would not be able to control himself and cause a scene at the celebration banquet.

But unexpectedly, she didn't react excessively. Her clenched fists loosened again. She felt a little empty in her heart, but she no longer had the anger she had before.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. When I see them together, I actually think they're a good match." Wang Baobao rubbed his head in annoyance. "How come my temper has improved after going out for a competition?"

Tan Yu saw through it but didn't say anything. He knew that Wang Baobao had feelings for Cui Su, so he was no longer obsessed with Lou Fan.

Nie Zheng hurried off the stage after she finished her speech. Seeing Wang Baobao coming over, she was afraid that she was too aggressive and would have a fight with Bai Chaochao at the celebration banquet.

Bai Chaochao is not someone who can be easily messed with. He just lost a lot of weight during this period of time and is no match for Wang Baobao in terms of size.

While he was still thinking, Nie Zheng had already stood in front of Bai Chaochao, with the posture of an old hen protecting her chicks.

"Nie Zheng! We are at least 'comrades-in-arms' who have competed together. Do you have to be so shocked by me? Did Bai Chaochao give you some kind of drug that makes you crazy?"

"How can you talk like that? Just think you don't like me, but be polite to our Zheng Zheng!"

Nie Zheng stood between the two of them: "Just keep quiet!"

While trying to stop the fight, she looked at Chong Jianzhi and Old Man Chong in the distance. The two were walking towards the entrance of the banquet hall, talking about something as they walked.

"Alright, alright, ladies. Today is a happy day. Stop fighting." Tan Yu handed each of them a glass of champagne. "They say three women make a drama. You two women are quite noisy."

"What did you say?"

"How are you talking?"

Although these two people dislike each other, they are 80% similar when they speak.

If it weren't for Lou Fan, the two of them might have really become good friends.
