Chapter 1186: 817 is a bit big, isn’t it? (4k, extra updates ×7)

"Do you really intend to just go back like that?"

Peninsula Hotel.

Pei Yunxi came to the room to find her nominal boss alone.

Boss Jiang was a man of manners, who would definitely not resort to sneaky, petty thefts, and had opened up a separate suite.

"Otherwise? Keep you here as a hostage?"

"The Xiang Family has already given enough face."

Pei Yunxi succinctly said.

Jiang Chen looked at her with a meaningful gaze, "So what?"

"If they really keep their promises and are only aiming to make a good movie, I can participate."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Did you really change your mind suddenly, or are you making this sacrifice for me?"

Truly shameless.

Pei Yunxi quietly looked at him, earnestly and embarrassingly replied, "Aren’t you thinking a little too much?"

"..."

Jiang Chen gave a half-smile.

Indeed.

Society is a broader form of The Jianghu.

When mixing in The Jianghu, the most important thing is face.

The Xiang Family doesn’t absolutely need Pei Yunxi; they persisted time and again, simply for the sake of saving face.

And his refusal seems to be likewise.

It appears they haven’t completely fallen out, but after parting on bad terms at the Fenglai Pavilion, both parties’ relationship had already fallen into a dire state.

The only way to change this situation, was undeniably Pei Yunxi’s participation in the movie.

"I am an actor."

Pei Yunxi said again, quite abruptly, and a bit cryptic.

Jiang Chen had long discovered that sometimes, when she spoke, there was a deeper meaning.

I am an actor.

Was she stating that acting is an actor’s duty?

Or was she implying that it wasn’t worth falling out with the Xiang Family over her, an "actor"?

Jiang Chen pondered quietly, he hadn’t had the chance to speak when suddenly, his phone rang.

"When signing the contract, I had promised you, no one can force you to do anything you don’t want to do. That includes yourself. This is my promise to you."

Jiang Chen spoke very quickly, but steadily and seriously.

Without a doubt.

He had refused Pei Yunxi’s suggestion to compromise with the aim of seeking reconciliation.

Having said that, he took out his phone.

The caller was beyond his expectations.

He Yihui.

"I’ll take a call."

Really doesn’t know how to strike while the iron is hot.

Those words just now, were truly moving.

Pei Yunxi watched him.

Jiang Chen coughed lightly, "Let’s continue our conversation later."

Pei Yunxi turned around and left the room.

This call has come at a bad time, Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, then answered the phone. Of course, by the time he started speaking, he had adjusted his tone.

"Miss He, you are too kind."

"How polite."

The voice of He Family’s heiress from the fourth branch was still magnetic and sexy.

As for their acquaintance, it hadn’t been that long, but it felt like they were old friends. Even after a period of no contact, there was no sense of strangeness.

This might be the thickness of time.

Some people might be acquainted for decades and yet just remain casual acquaintances.

"I can’t help it, it’s my personal upbringing, please bear with me," the shameless person said.

After a joke, he got back to the point, "Actually, about the casino, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead."

The proactive caller, He Yihui, was patient, not hurrying to speak.

"Brother Bai has told me, according to my thoughts, the current loan rules in the casino might no longer suit long-term development, maybe an adjustment would be better."

"What are your thoughts?"

Jiang Chen must have deliberated earlier, and spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "The current lending interest rates are too high. Many gamblers are overstressed. This has also led to the occurrence of many tragedies. It affects the entire industry’s image in the eyes of the public."

"You mean, lower the lending rates?"

Common knowledge.

The commission taken on the gambling tables is only one way for a casino to make profits.

Another important way to make money is outside the gambling tables, even outside the casino.

That is usury!

Gamblers who lose money and seek to recoup their losses borrow from casinos or loan sharks, and with the interest compounding, they sink step by step into the abyss of no return.

Many gamblers who jump from buildings, rivers, and commit suicide are actually driven to desperation not by losing at the tables.

But by the endless cycle of usury.

Losing money means losing cash, you can start over, but if you carry the burden of usury, you are essentially burying your life and future completely.

"Not to lower the lending rates."

"To eliminate the interest rates."

It’s a bombshell!

But Jiang Chen’s tone was very calm; he was not joking.

He Yihui naturally fell silent.

Running a casino isn’t charity, usury has been a proud tradition of casinos throughout history and has been the source of wealth for many people.

Eliminate it?

How could that be possible?

Even if her status was now worlds apart from before, she still didn’t have such power.

"I don’t quite understand what you mean."

After a silence, He Yihui spoke.

This wasn’t reform; it was subverting the entire industry.

She felt that the other party couldn’t possibly be that crazy.

"Doing any business is for profit, not for taking lives. I believe you share this view. Given the countless tragedies of families destroyed and lives lost due to gambling, why can’t we try to change this phenomenon within our means while ensuring our benefit?"

"Your suggestion is impossible. Even if I agree, my aunt won’t agree, and the whole of Haojiang won’t agree,"

He Yihui responded objectively and frankly.

Although the He Family was The Uncrowned King of Haojiang, not all casinos bear the He surname.
