I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2160 - 1384: Do a Good Job

Cao Jinse left shortly after sitting down, as this was Boss Jiang’s bank. At most, she was responsible for a bit of renovation kickbacks and some headhunting, not even counting as a partner.

After Cao Jinse left, Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, facing the wall, and re-evaluated the vivid "Qianlong’s Southern Inspection Map".

It shouldn’t be described this way,

most likely, it’s an authentic piece.

"It seems Mr. Jiang really likes this painting."

A sound came from behind him.

"It’s alright."

After answering, Jiang Chen belatedly turned his head, glanced at the uninvited Zhuge Xi, and looked towards the office door.

"This is my office."

"..."

Occupying an office that wasn’t his, Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless, withdrew his gaze, and once again appreciated the artwork on the wall. Picking up the previous conversation, he redundantly repeated the topic like a useless repeat.

"It’s alright."

Of course.

A person at Boss Jiang’s level wouldn’t likely utter meaningless words; if it feels redundant, then the subtext surely wasn’t comprehended.

If it were someone more perceptive, like that bald fat guy from earlier, he would already be enthusiastically offering to gift the painting. Who would have thought that the name of Heaven and Earth Bank’s Branch Manager Zhuge, which sounds intelligent, seemed to lack understanding of workplace social cues? Clearly, he had offered a clear hint, but Zhuge seemed thick-headed, not continuing the subject.

Fortunately, it was Boss Jiang; otherwise, any other boss would have surely been angry and felt at the very least teased.

Alright then.

Even Boss Jiang in fact felt teased a bit, but what could he do?

Though "Qianlong’s Southern Inspection Map" hung here, it was private property; running a bank makes the sanctity of private property even more inviolable. Even if he was dismissed on the spot, Zhuge would take the painting with him.

"How long have you known Miss Cao?"

Jiang Chen faced the painting, giving only his profound and towering silhouette to Zhuge.

"I’m not familiar with Miss Cao, just an acquaintance."

Jiang Chen wanted to laugh but held it in.

Who said he was foolish?

Clearly, he’s incredibly smart.

Definitely understands the need to distance himself from Cao Jinse.

"An acquaintance, why does Miss Cao value you so much and speak so highly of you?"

"I’m also very surprised. Maybe Miss Cao has heard my story and recognizes my talent."

Jiang Chen felt that in terms of brazenness, he’s met a strong competitor. Looking at the priceless painting, Jiang Chen calmly stated, "What’s your story? Let’s hear it."

"My story, Mr. Jiang should be very clear about it. No need for me to waste time."

People at such a level do not pander to others; they possess absolute independence and opinions. Flattering superiors is not their style.

In other words,

The more advanced a talent is, the more the relationship with the manager leans towards cooperation rather than a traditional leader-subordinate dynamic; much like a romantic relationship, it’s mutual attraction and a "bidirectional pursuit".

His resume, Jiang Chen was certainly aware of. It’s a fact he changed his surname, but being a genius is not a joke.

Fluent in eight languages, including Arabic and Swahili. How many such people exist globally?

Many people probably haven’t even heard of Swahili.

Straight out of Huaqing Management’s gifted program, cracked an unpublished economic growth model at fifteen, astonishing everyone. What did he do next?

Left school.

Exactly.

He left Huaqing Management, which every student and parent in Shen Zhou dreams of.

Since then, his name has been on Huaqing University’s blacklist, regarded as a great humiliation, which may also be one reason for his name change.

Quitting Huaqing, a few niche words, once surfaced, don’t generally signal a painful lesson but often the start of a magical life.

After leaving Huaqing, he roamed the world. Huaqing wasn’t the only victim; Cambridge, Yale, MIT... these globally prestigious universities fell into his clutches, experiencing the same fate as Huaqing. Consequently, the entire Ivy League blacklisted him.

Since universities won’t have him, he stopped applying. After disrupting academia, he moved to the business world, developed an arbitrage algorithm solo, secured a million-dollar annual salary. Today, this algorithm is a training textbook for international investment banks. During his time as a "trader", he successfully shorted peripheral European government bonds, being called "Euro Crisis Catcher" by the Wall Street Journal, raising the hedge fund’s annualized return to 37%, dubbed as turning stone into gold.

Then,

He switched jobs yet again.

As Strategic Director at the International Clearing Bank, he facilitated cross-border digital currency settlement agreements involving 47 central banks, established the "Black Swan" stress test system, which is now a G20 standard... His last stop was at the Federal Reserve.

Later, for some reason, he returned to his country.

In summary, from education to career, his resume, or life, was shadowed by the word "job-hopping".

Generally, bosses dislike employees lacking "stability", always ready to leave at any moment, which keeps them anxious despite any ability. But upon receiving Zhuge Xi’s dossier, Jiang Chen made an independent and decisive decision to appoint him as the first director of Heaven and Earth Bank.
