Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: I Could Beat Him Until He’s Paralyzed

Jiang Cheng and the others followed into the room, where the warm and inviting air greeted them.

There were other people in the living room.

"Lao Guo, you’ve finally arrived!"

"Lao Qu?"

Manager Guo was slightly surprised, but even more surprising was who the young man was.

Lao Qu was the manager of a Xinhua Bookstore in a neighboring city of S City.

He often liked to spar with Manager Guo, but there was no real conflict between them—just a typical male rivalry.

"What’s up? Not happy to see me?"

Manager Qu stood up, walked over, and punched Manager Guo on the arm.

As he leaned in, he whispered, "Manager Hua’s nephew, unmarried."

A few words were enough for Manager Guo to feel a jolt inside.

He sneaked a glance at Jiang Cheng.

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s smile made Manager Guo somewhat uneasy, sensing potential trouble.

"Everyone, please sit down. Let me introduce you all to each other."

After Manager Hua finished introducing everyone, he pointed to the young man in the room and said, "This is my nephew, Hua Chundong. I thought you young people might have things to talk about."

With that one sentence, Principal Wang’s face turned visibly displeased.

What’s this about young people having things to talk about?

Is this an attempt to matchmake Jiang Cheng?

Setting aside the fact that Jiang Cheng has someone, even if she didn’t, this is not the way to arrange a match.

Since when does the woman’s side initiate, while keeping her completely in the dark?

The shrewd Jiang Cheng naturally understood Manager Hua’s intentions.

"What a coincidence, I prefer chatting with the elderly."

"Of course! I’m just an old man myself."

Principal Wang immediately joined in, and Manager Guo also chimed in to smooth things over: "That’s true, Jiang Cheng does get along well with older folks."

"What delicious food have you prepared? It smells wonderful!"

Manager Guo changed the subject; Manager Hua wasn’t too pleased but didn’t show it.

"Lao Guo, I heard you’re a great cook, so today you have to show us your skills!"

In the blink of an eye, Manager Hua had tasked Manager Guo, and after arranging him, he also brought out a chessboard, inviting Manager Qu to play a couple of games with Principal Wang.

As for the most annoying Zhao Chengde, Manager Hua kept sending him here and there to do various tasks.

Principal Wang tried several times to signal Jiang Cheng with his eyes: Can he skip the chess games?

Jiang Cheng shook her head.

She could handle this alone.

The moment Hua Chundong saw Jiang Cheng’s face, he was smitten.

Initially, he didn’t want to come.

His uncle spoke highly of Jiang Cheng, describing her as capable and a great earner, but Hua Chundong didn’t care at all.

However, upon seeing how beautiful Jiang Cheng was, Hua Chundong’s thoughts began to wander.

Hua Chundong sat in the single-seater sofa next to Jiang Cheng, pretentiously pouring tea.

"This is top-grade pre-rain Dragon Well tea... It must be handpicked before the rain, very complex."

Jiang Cheng rolled her eyes perfectly on time.

She calmly said, "Pre-rain Dragon Well refers to tea harvested before the Grain Rain period; it doesn’t really relate to whether it rains or not."

"It’s okay to be uneducated, but pretending despite it is quite laughable."

Jiang Cheng didn’t spare Hua Chundong’s dignity at all.

The water Hua Chundong was pouring was making a loud splashing sound, leaving him awkwardly unsure of where to set the teapot down.

Jiang Cheng calmly shifted her position—just don’t get anything on me.

"Heh, I was just joking."

Hua Chundong tried hard to save face.

Jiang Cheng moved a bit farther away.

"As long as you believe it."

"Ahem, ahem—what a great move!"

Principal Wang gave a forceful compliment, but the chesspiece was still in his hand.

With a tap, the chesspiece fell; Principal Wang leaned slightly sideways, trying to hear every word Jiang Cheng said.

What wonderful things she was saying!

Manager Qu, playing chess, finally understood why he was invited today—it was just to fill a spot and give Hua Chundong a chance.
