Chapter 1148: 793 Is no one home at your place? (Seeking monthly pass!)_3

The following box office trend is also unlikely to disappoint.

Of course.

Holding the reins of the K.E Fashion Group, Pei Yunxi is now the entertainment industry’s top invisible rich lady. Shooting this film at the expense of venturing to remote mountains and suffering hardships certainly wasn’t for money.

Engaging in a job, at first, may be for a better life, but once that goal is achieved, one starts to pursue a vision on a spiritual level.

Stepping onto the international stage to let the whole world genuinely recognize oneself, this movie took a firm and powerful step for her.

If she was already hot property domestically, what follows might well be her time in the sun.

The entertainment industry might be entering the era of Pei Yunxi’s dominion.

"It’s not my achievement alone; anyone in my place would do the same."

Not lost in the audience’s feedback or Jiang Chen’s praise, the reason Pei Yunxi remains untainted in the varied entertainment industry is due to her consistently level-headed approach.

"You can’t say that. Some people, no matter how much you boost them, just won’t rise to fame. I believe you’re very aware of this. Plus, your performance in the movie is there for all to see."

It might be an era where capital is king, but the premise is that you’re not just a lump of mud.

If it’s a jade in its raw form, it’s bound to be twice as effective with half the effort.

"I guess I can take half the credit."

Boss Jiang truly has no reservations.

Because she’s wearing a mask, Pei Yunxi cannot see his expression towards this self-proclamation.

Together, they step into the elevator and head down to the underground parking lot.

"You didn’t drive?"

Approaching her own car, Pei Yunxi couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Chen, who had been following her, shook his head calmly, "No, conserving energy and reducing emissions. Besides, it’s on the way, so give me a lift."

They do live in the same villa complex, which indeed couldn’t get any more convenient.

Publicly, he is her boss; privately...

Ethically, and rationally, there seems to be no reason to refuse.

Pei Yunxi keeps walking forward and opens the car door.

Jiang Chen confidently takes the passenger seat.

Pei Yunxi drives, returning to the surface.

"There’s no one around, why keep the mask on?"

Jiang Chen reminds.

No other intentions.

Just that her face is pleasant to look at.

"Aren’t you a person?"

A question that truly leaves no room for rebuttal.

Jiang Chen is at a loss for words.

"There’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

He shifts the topic, "I plan to create a snack brand, are you interested in endorsing it?"

So familiar already, there’s no need for beating around the bush.

"Not interested."

Pei Yunxi is just as straightforward.

Jiang Chen is at a loss for words once again.

"... Anyway, it won’t affect you. The endorsement fee is negotiable."

Even though she’s no longer the target bound for investment, so what if he can’t use lick-dog gold?

The wealth he now possesses is astoundingly substantial.

Jiang Chen does not lack money, but it seems she doesn’t either.

"You once promised not to force me into doing something I don’t want to."

Jiang Chen is taken aback.

Right.

When he first signed with CX Entertainment, that’s exactly what he promised her.

"I’m not requesting this as your boss, just discussing it with you as a friend."

Not to mention how Pei Yunxi’s fame will soar after the movie release, even considering her previous status alone, endorsing a snack does seem a bit off-brand.

"You might not be aware, I plan to rapidly expand stores nationwide, with thousands opening for business within a year."

Jiang Chen explains.

"Are you asking for my help?"

Pei Yunxi glances at him while driving.

The bothersome mask.

Jiang Chen couldn’t read her expression.

"Collaboration."

Jiang Chen stresses.

Boss Jiang does not lord over others, nor does he position himself below them.

He is not a sycophant.

Pei Yunxi withdraws her gaze, focusing on driving, without immediately dismissing the idea.

"I’ll consider it."

To consider is to suggest there’s hope.

Jiang Chen doesn’t press further.

Back at Spring and Autumn Plaza, Pei Yunxi parks her car in front of her villa.

The villa is dark, without lights.

"Junior Sister Luo hasn’t returned?"

Today is the weekend.

According to Jiang Chen’s knowledge, that campus belle usually comes home every weekend.

"She went to watch a movie."

"That Blue?"

It seems the girl is quite supportive of her elder sister’s work.

"Why didn’t she go with you?"

After asking, Jiang Chen realizes he’s blurted out a needless question, despite being in disguise, exposing himself was a risk.

If accompanying the young girl led to being recognized, and it became known she was Pei Yunxi’s younger sister, her life would never be peaceful again.

Such is the plight of a star.

It’s hard to enjoy a normal life.

Even going to a movie requires a disguise like a spy.

"She’s with friends."

"Friends? Not a boyfriend?"

Jiang Chen asks with a teasing smile.

He had witnessed Luo Li’er’s charm at Dong University firsthand, even the playboy Young Master Luo nearly fell for her.

"Female classmate."

Pei Yunxi replies succinctly, then steps out of the car.

Jiang Chen unbuckles his seatbelt and follows her.

"The movie’s over, is she coming back tonight?"

Purely mechanical politeness.

Pei Yunxi looks at him, finally lifting her hand to remove the mask, revealing that stunningly flawless face that always astonishes, no matter how often one sees it.

Admiring a beauty under the moonlight.

Truly one of life’s ultimate pleasures.

"She told me, she’s staying over at a friend’s house."

Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn’t doubt Luo Li’er’s character. Even the incredibly charming Luo Peng met his Waterloo with her; no ordinary guy would likely deceive her.

What surprised Jiang Chen was that she earnestly answered his superfluous question.

For a while, Jiang Chen doesn’t know what to say, looking over at the pitch-dark villa.

In the middle of the night, Luo Li’er isn’t coming back; it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask to sit inside, would it?

But isn’t this also a rare opportunity?

"Alright then, you rest."

Perhaps recalling the role-play with Li Shuru the day before and still caring about his image somewhat, Boss Jiang says this and is about to leave, but after just one step, he halts: "Aren’t you driving me back?"

The two villas are but a ten-minute walk apart.

Who just now spoke of energy conservation and emissions reduction?

Pei Yunxi remains stationary, giving a rather meaningful reply.

"Is there no one at your place?"

Comrade Jiang Chen falls silent, suddenly not speaking, waves his hand, and walks off alone, fading into solitude.

Pei Yunxi turns around and walks into the villa.
