I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2131 - 1367: She Takes the Lead, You Follow (Part 2)

Chapter 2131: Chapter 1367: She Takes the Lead, You Follow (Part 2)

Wei Chuyin smiled.

"That’s because there were hardly any girls in our class."

"Ah..."

Chen Xiang felt awkward.

Wei Chuyin looked at him, clumsy yet sincere, her eyes flowing with warmth.

"You decide where to go."

Chen Xiang was stunned, then burst with joy, raising his fist, "YES!"

Then, knowing full well there was no way Jiang Chen could hear him, he still shouted, "Thank you, President Jiang!"

Wei Chuyin smiled and looked at the majestic building.

Time waits for no one; everyone has moved on. It’s time for her to reconcile with her past self.

"Is Sister Qianqian feeling better?"

Who knows if the old schoolmates are dating, but Jiang Chen certainly arranged one, picking up Li Shuru and choosing an Italian restaurant after leaving Martial Saint and Daoist Duanmu at home.

More people are lively, but two-person worlds make for easier conversation.

"Yeah, she’s much better."

"I told you drinking hot water helps."

Li Shuru smiled gently.

Jiang Chen, oblivious to the mood, explained, "It wasn’t because of the hot water; she ate Golden Throat."

"..."

Fearless, huh.

Not afraid of getting caught?

Indeed.

No matter how keen her insight or rich her imagination, Li Shuru couldn’t possibly guess at the deep stories they shared that morning.

"By the way, I left the intent contract on the shelf for you. Did you see it?"

Li Shuru remembered her boyfriend went to CX Entertainment today.

"No worries, I planned to ditch it anyway."

"Ditch it? Why? The conditions are great; wasn’t the contract for Pei Yunxi?"

"Did you see it?"

Li Shuru nodded, "Only Pei Yunxi is worth such a high payment. Why not agree?"

"The movie’s leading investment company will soon face trouble. Don’t want to get dragged into it."

"Who?"

Li Shuru asked curiously.

"Nine-headed Bird Film Company."

Unlike many major bosses who hide things from their women, Jiang Chen never does; as long as they ask, he says. The key is that the women around him can manage their curiosity well.

"Nine-headed Bird Film Company... Zhong Xiaoye?"

Jiang Chen was surprised, "You know him?"

"A movie needs to be filmed at East Sea Disneyland; he’s an investor and wants to book the venue for two days, so he came to me."

Li Shuru once seemed "ordinary" to some extent, but now she’s not ordinary at all.

Just mentioning East Sea Disneyland—it’s a fairytale land in many women’s hearts.

Jiang Chen suddenly understood. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Booking Disneyland for two days shows some nerve; considering its traffic, especially during holidays, it’s hard to get tickets. Indeed, wealth brings freedom.

"But I didn’t agree."

Li Shuru’s inner thoughts were somewhat known by someone; otherwise, he wouldn’t have handed over East Sea Disneyland’s management rights to his girlfriend.

This act must have had some therapeutic effect, but it was still a superficial fix.

"What price did he offer?"

"Two days, two billion."

Jiang Chen knew some about East Sea Disneyland’s revenue, about fifty million on a normal day—not on holidays. On special days like Valentine’s Day or New Year’s, it’s unlimited.

The film crew doesn’t care about dates and could choose weekdays, making two billion for two days especially sincere.

"It’s a fair price. Why not agree?"

"East Sea Disneyland doesn’t lack this two billion revenue. Closing for two days for this money would cause a negative impact."

"We could say it’s for equipment maintenance."

Jiang Chen suggested.

"We could, but Zhong Xiaoye wouldn’t cooperate with us. Spending two billion, he would certainly use Disneyland to promote his movie, leverage it as a selling point, and in exchange for two billion, become his promotional tool—it’s not worth it."

Jiang Chen suddenly quieted, watching her silently.

"What’s wrong?"

"The way you’re talking now, you seem like a shrewd, dominant, female CEO."

Li Shuru laughed at his words, graceful as a painting, a stark contrast to the former school beauty.

Holding her knife and fork, she said, "I’ve inquired about Zhong Xiaoye; his reputation isn’t great. His main motive for entering the film industry is money laundering. No need to work with such a person."

"President Li is astute."

Jiang Chen praised.

Zhong Xiaoye’s business mode was clear: building his network by "throwing money around." If Li Shuru didn’t resist temptation, she might have ended up in one of his wall photos.

Unlike charity, this guy is cunning, seemingly tossing money but always extracting equal or better returns. Just imagine the buzz if Disneyland closed for two days for his movie—how enticing!

This is a price not comparable to just two billion.

"You’re both praising and dining me; are you being insincere?"

The former Li Shuru kept people away, far from humor.

Almost derailed the conversation.

Jiang Chen picked up a charcoal-grilled beef fillet and popped it into his mouth, "Just wanted to chat, that’s all."

Li Shuru gave him a glance.

"Chat?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen replied softly, slowly chewing his meat.

"Why suddenly... What did you talk to Sister Qianqian about today?"

Li Shuru paused her knife and fork.

"Nothing much. She just scolded me."

"Really?"

"With her personality, isn’t it normal."

Li Shuru nodded with a smile, "That’s true. Sister Qianqian’s friends are like that too. They said before, if Sister Qianqian faced slight inconvenience, she’d resort to throwing punches and kicks at them."

"You know her friends?"

"Yeah, through Sister Qianqian, we played golf and dined together."

Tsk.

She really treats you like a sister.

Bringing you into her life circle.

"You know Fei Yi too, right?"

"Yes, I do. CX Entertainment’s smooth establishment owes much to his help."

Jiang Chen remarked, "Shi Qianxi is really good to you."

Li Shuru remained indifferent, continuing to share life stories during his absence, "Listening to them talk is quite amusing. Do you know what they call Sister Qianqian privately?"

"Shizuka."

Li Shuru was momentarily stunned.

"I know Fei Yi’s nickname is Fat Tiger." Jiang Chen explained.

Li Shuru suddenly realized, "No, they actually call Sister Qianqian ’Suneo’ privately."

Jiang Chen was shocked.

Li Shuru’s smile bloomed like a flower, "Unexpected, huh? They say Sister Qianqian is sharp and full of bad ideas, always pushing them to the front lines, and when things go south, she washes her hands clean."

Jiang Chen grinned.

It does fit her personality.

"Seems she wasn’t very likable growing up."

Jiang Chen mused.

"If Sister Qianqian weren’t likable, how could she have people around her now? Just like relationships, noisy yet inseparable is true friendship."

Speaking, she looked at someone, "You and Sister Fang Qing are just like that."

Right.

There’s Sister Fang Qing.

Jiang Chen put down his knife and fork, discreetly asking, "Is Fang Qing close with her?"

"Who?"

"Your Sister Qianqian."

Li Shuru casually replied, "Considerably acquainted."

"No deeper involvement, like inviting her to your gatherings?"

"Sister Fang Qing is the busiest with work and frequently out of town."

Jiang Chen felt somewhat relieved; he was starting to notice things gradually spiraling beyond his control. If Fang Qing joined in, it would become even more "interesting."

Could Fang Qing have realized something, hence staying long-term in Jing Chu recently?

"Do you feel Shi Qianxi is being nice to you for a reason?"

Jiang Chen took a sip of coffee.

"Of course."

No hesitation.

"You think you’re quite clear."

Jiang Chen persisted.

"I should be clear."

Li Shuru responded confidently, smiling.

Having a wife like her, what more could one ask for?

Yet someone remained peculiar, seemingly unsatisfied.

"Her idea is, she acts big, you act small."

No warm-up for such a bomb, it was just thrown out.

Li Shuru’s composure faded as her lips tightened, her smile slowly disappeared, and faintly, the former aloof school beauty seemed to return.
