Doomsday Code

Chapter 553 Opening Ceremony

Just as Chen Cheng turned around, he saw the little maid standing in the yard looking at him blankly.

When the little maid saw Chen Cheng saw her, she rushed up and hugged Chen Cheng and said:

"Master, please don't leave."

Chen Cheng didn't expect the little maid to see this. He treated the little maid like his own sister, so in order to avoid sadness, he didn't think about telling her that he was leaving.

"Alright, alright, if you keep crying you'll turn into a little cat. The master is going to travel around, why are you crying?

And I just told Your Highness that this will be your own little courtyard from now on, and you don’t have to serve others anymore.

When you reach marriageable age and find the boy you love, His Highness will set you free and allow you to pursue your own happiness."

Chen Cheng patted the little maid's head and said like an old father.

The little maid kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes.

"No, I am the master's little maid, I don't want to get married."

Hearing these childish and coquettish words, Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Silly girl, you are still young now. When you grow up, you will know that a girl must find a good marriage."

"And there's another thing, you're not the master's, you just are, you know."

Seeing that the little maid didn't say anything but just kept crying, Chen Cheng reached out to wipe the little maid's tears and then said:

"Stop crying, or your eyes will get swollen again. Besides, I'm not leaving yet, why are you crying?"

The little maid also pretended to be obedient, wiped her tears with her sleeves and said:

"The little maid listens to the master, then the master can't leave."

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the little maid, she looked like a kitten abandoned by its owner.

Chen Cheng knew that the little maid had not met anyone who understood her well, so she became attached to him.

Since he was going out, it would be inconvenient for him to bring a little maid with him.

Finally, Chen Cheng thought for a while, and then said to the little maid:

"In that case, you will go with His Highness to Huidun City this time. I have friends there. When I'm done traveling, I'll return to Huidun City. You can wait for me there."

Chen Cheng thought of arranging the little maid to be with Finier.

Although Finelle sometimes likes to act like a spoiled brat, she is actually a very nice person.

It just so happens that the little maid and Finel are not much older than each other, so the two of them might become good friends. And with Finel's cheerful personality, perhaps she could help the little maid get over the inferiority complex brought about by her status.

At this moment, Chen Cheng felt like an old father, worrying about his lovely daughter.

As a servant, the little maid naturally knew that she could not influence the master's actions, but when she heard that she could see Chen Cheng again, she immediately burst into laughter.

At least she knew that her master came from Huidun City. Even if the master would not return to the royal capital, he would definitely return to Huidun City, and she could wait for the master to come back there.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Huidun went to the Marquis's Mansion to pick up Vivienne and went out of the city to attend the opening ceremony of Prince Xiaosuo's cement factory. At the same time, he also placed his first order to Prince Xiaosuo's cement factory on behalf of the Prince's Mansion.

Prince Xiao Suo has been busy for many days preparing for today's opening ceremony.

According to Xiao Suo and his friends' previous habits, there would be no opening ceremony for the factory.

It was the consultant from Huidun City who suggested him to hold this opening ceremony.

And the reason is very simple.

This is the first cement factory in the royal capital. With the technical support of Huidun City, as long as people around the royal capital see the effect of cement, the cement industry around the royal capital will be monopolized by him in the future.

In order to quickly seize the market and repay the bank's interbank loan as soon as possible, the best way is naturally financial financing.

If you want to raise funds, this opening ceremony is very important.

On the opening day, you can invite all the powerful and upper-class people in the capital to visit the factory and explain to them the factory's production quota.

It also tells wealthy people outside that they can invest their money in his cement factory.

And even if no one raises funds at the beginning, using the opening ceremony to build fame can also allow more potential customers to pay attention to the cement factory, which is an excellent wave of advertising.

So after Xiao Suo heard that the opening ceremony could bring so many benefits, he immediately started preparing for it.

As a result, he lived and ate in the factory these days and had not even returned to the prince's palace.

The princess was scolded and returned to the palace by the order of King Moss XIII. She had not seen Xiao Suo for many days. The atmosphere in the palace was very depressing.

"You said the prince has been tinkering with the cement factory these days, living and eating with those peasants. Has he ever thought of returning home?"

The princess of the palace listened to the housekeeper's report, and her still charming face was full of frost.

"Well, who is he doing this for? Maybe he saw that His Majesty is disgusted with the old Duke, so he, this heartless man, wants to distance himself from me."

The princess sneered.

Then the princess stood up and ordered:

"Prepare the car. Since it's the palace's factory opening, how can I, as the princess, not be there? If I do, people will really say that we are not united as a couple."

As soon as the princess said this, the entire palace fell silent.

When the butler saw this, he immediately said he would prepare the carriage and slipped away.

The butler is Prince Xiao Suo's man, but because Prince Xiao Suo is suppressed by the princess, the butler naturally cannot afford to show any provocation.

After coming out, he immediately called his confidant and asked him to tell Xiao Suo that the princess was going to the opening ceremony.

At this time, Xiao Suo, who was like a welcoming doorman, didn't know that his princess was also coming.

In his mind, his princess was pampered and arrogant, and had never looked him in the eye.

She would never think of leaving the city to come here to attend any opening ceremony.

When he saw the noble officials who came with his invitations, he greeted them with a friendly smile on his face.

When Xiao Suo saw Prince Huidun arriving in his sedan chair, he ran up to greet him.

"The Crown Prince's presence truly brings honor to my humble factory."

Huidun is still the major financial backer of his factory, so he flatters him like it’s free and starts flattering him before he even meets the person.

Huidun came out of the carriage and then reached out to lead Vivienne out.

When everyone saw that not only Huidun had come, but also Vivienne, the future Crown Princess, their faces became more solemn.

Because they both can be present at the same time, the meaning is different.

This shows that at least Huidun did not dislike him because of his love for money and business. On the contrary, he even brought his princess consort to attend the factory's opening ceremony to support him.

As for the outside world, this means that at least until the next generation, Xiao Suo's position as prince will still be stable.
