Chapter 250: 246 Tianci Capital (Thanks for the tip! Asking for monthly tickets!)

"Cheers."

In a restaurant near the East University.

Four men and four women sat together, raising their wine glasses in unison.

"The past is gone, many brilliant figures have emerged, but look at today."

Son of Luo, full of fervent ambition and bursting with poetic fervor, swallowed a sip of wine and, grasping his wine glass, dramatically sighed, "Let’s see who will own the future of East Sea!"

Zheng Jingjing shivered, "Luo Peng, can you be any cheesier? It’s just a legal person position. Look at how smug you are."

"Sorry, it’s not just a legal person, I am also the chief CEO of Tianci Capital."

Luo Peng formally clarified.

The procedures were all approved.

Starting today.

Tianci Capital was officially established, with a registered capital of five million.

"Pfft..."

Xu Siyi couldn’t help but laugh; she was more polite than Zheng Jingjing and asked, "Senior Luo, how many people do you currently manage?"

Luo Peng’s expression stiffened as if his throat had been gripped, suddenly at a loss for words.

He was a CEO, that’s true, but he didn’t have a single employee under him.

One man’s success brings glory to all his followers.

Jiang Chen, in setting up his first company, had not forgotten his brothers and with a generous gesture, assigned each of his three roommates a position.

Luo Peng was the CEO, CFO went to Xiao Bai, CHO to Li Shao, sounding quite imposing, but in truth, the newly established Tianci Capital was not much different from a shell company—it was just the four of them.

"CEO Luo, why so silent?"

Zheng Jingjing piled on, eager to rub it in.

Luo Peng ignored her and instead turned to Bai Zheli, saying earnestly, "Xiao Bai, about that dance studio project. I think we should really reconsider, redo the risk assessment..."

Zheng Jingjing froze, immediately changing color.

"How can you do this, Luo Peng!"

"Call me senior!"

"You..."

Jiang Chen watched the excitement with glee, whispering, "Hey, don’t you think they make a good match?"

"Who?"

Li Shuru naturally sat next to him.

"Luo Peng and Little Zheng."

Taken aback, Li Shuru smiled, "You shouldn’t be running a venture capital firm; you should open a matchmaking agency."

"Luo Peng is handsome and comes from a good family background. You could talk to Zheng Jingjing about it. Who knows, it might really work out. Facilitating a marriage would be a great merit."

Li Shuru shook her head.

"If you want to, you can say that. I won’t get involved. If they’re happy together, fine, but if they’re not happy after getting together, you’d be the one to blame."

"That’s true."

"Shu Rui, look at them bullying me!"

In a real battle of wits, Zheng Jingjing was indeed no match for Luo Peng, who was a seasoned playboy, battle-hardened with a finely honed wit. Seeing that she couldn’t gain the upper hand, the clever girl immediately turned to find support from Li Shuru.

"What use is it finding me?"

Li Shuru wasn’t devoid of humor either and deliberately put on a helpless act.

"You’re the boss’s wife. No matter how big the CEO is, could he be bigger than you?"

With one sentence, Zheng Jingjing provoked laughter throughout the crowd.

Even Luo Peng couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Li Shuru glanced at Jiang Chen.

According to business rules, the boss’s wife might not necessarily have more power than the CEO.

But at this time, no one was going to argue with Zheng Jingjing about this.

"Zheng the beauty, do you really distrust me that much? Since I promised you, would I go back on my word? Relax, I’ll transfer the money to Shu Rui’s account in a bit."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"That’s more like it."

Zheng Jingjing was satisfied and provocatively glanced at Luo Peng.

"What are you looking at me for? I’m going to be your boss in the future, got it?"

Luo Peng stressed, without indulgence.

"Bah!"

Zheng Jingjing didn’t give her sugar daddy any face.

"New Year’s Day is coming up soon, do you have any plans?"

Li Shuru asked casually while eating.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, why do you ask?"

"It’s nothing, just asking."

Clearly disingenuous.

No matter what, Jiang Chen had experienced a relationship and was not a greenhorn like Bai Zheli. He astutely continued, "Do you have any plans?"

"I’m planning to go home for a visit."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yeah, you should spend some time with Auntie."

Li Shuru’s father had passed away, and her mother was indeed lonely.

"...My mom called and asked about you."

Jiang Chen’s chopsticks paused.

"Really? What did Auntie say?"

"She was asking how we were doing now."

Previously, to provide money in a plausible way, Li Shuru had Jiang Chen pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her mother and they had put on an act. Afterward, they certainly hadn’t offered any explanations.

Of course.

As it stood now, it seemed explanations were no longer necessary.

"What did you say?"

"I said we broke up."

Jiang Chen was taken aback, then unconsciously glanced at the girl beside him, and realizing from her impassive countenance that she was teasing him, he deeply understood Li Shuru’s cold exterior but warm interior.

"Oh, well, that’s good."

He nodded, appearing relieved.

Soon.

His right foot suddenly felt a sharp pain as someone forcefully stepped on it.

Jiang Chen’s eye twitched while he hissed in pain.

Luckily, the person was wearing flat shoes today, not high heels.

"I was just going along with your joke, wasn’t I?"

But then another stomp came.

Jiang Chen dared not speak anymore.

It seemed only the official was allowed to set fires, and the commoners weren’t allowed to light lamps.

Whatever she said, he couldn’t.

But with women, there was never any reasoning to be had.

Jiang Chen solemnly began to eat.

"My mom called me."

The voice came from beside him again.

Wait a minute.

Had time gone backward?

"And then?"

Jiang Chen tentatively asked.

Li Shuru glanced at him.

Realizing what she meant, Jiang Chen lightly coughed, "How about I go back with you for New Year’s Day?"

As expected, upon hearing his words, Li Shuru’s gaze instantly softened, and with a gentle hum, she served him a piece of flaky meat.

Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

So that was her meaning.

Why didn’t she say so earlier?

What’s the point of playing such inscrutable games?

It even got him kicked twice.

In bed, she didn’t seem to have this much restraint...

Before the wicked thoughts in his mind could continue to spread, Jiang Chen’s phone started to ring.

It was a WeChat message.

The message was very simple.

An emoji of a "smiley face".

The nickname was "Devil".

Of course.

It could be a remark.

Jiang Chen glanced at it and didn’t even tap to open it, quickly setting his phone back down.

On the other end of the phone,

Miss Shi, frustrated amidst the sea of documents on her desk, clenched her phone, waiting in vain for a reply, and couldn’t help thinking about bombarding him with calls again.

Who owes whom here?

Hundreds of millions, and this guy isn’t the least bit anxious?!

Miss Shi, convinced that owing money could let her take charge, felt very disappointed.

These past few days, she deliberately did not contact the other party, but who knew that the other party would also be completely silent, as if vanished from the earth.

This won’t do.

Previously, calling him non-stop got herself blocked, and it even made her switch to a new phone,

Learning from the lesson, Miss Shi didn’t send any more messages, knowing they would disappear without a trace. Holding her phone, she stood up, grabbed her bag, and walked out.

But before she could reach for the door handle, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Didn’t anyone tell you to knock before entering a room? What kind of secretary are you?"

Miss Shi’s face was cold, not giving the chairman’s secretary any face.

"I’m sorry, Miss, I will pay attention next time."

Chen Zhou must rarely be scolded like this, his face slightly stiff, but he still apologized immediately.

Miss Shi had no patience for dawdling,

"Step aside."

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"

Miss Shi, arrogant and imperious, embodied the haughtiness and tyrannical attitude of a spoiled rich girl to perfection.

"Of course, Miss does not need to report to me, but the chairman asked me to invite you for a meal upstairs."

Chen Zhou bowed slightly.

"I’m not available."

Having held back for several days, Miss Shi could no longer endure the torment of these numbers and tables that were almost driving her insane.

"I’ll say it one more time, step aside."

Chen Zhou looked up, and the sincerity in his eyes spread across a face that otherwise appeared quite open and straightforward.

"Miss, without the chairman’s consent, you cannot leave the company during working hours. The security department has received orders; if you wish to leave during working hours, you will not be allowed to pass."

Miss Shi was instantly burning with rage.

"On what grounds? I’m not a criminal! Why should I be locked up here?"

"I’d like to see who dares to stop me!"

Her eyebrows frosted over with anger, she forcefully pushed Chen Zhou aside, "Get out of the way!"

Chen Zhou stumbled back, only able to watch as she walked towards the exit.

He didn’t follow, but after regaining his footing, he dusted off his clothes as if nothing had happened.

Miss Shi didn’t even make it through the company doors; stopped at the checkpoint, her work ID failed to respond after several swipes.

"Open it."

She looked towards the security guard at the checkpoint.

While other employees continued to pass in and out, she, the esteemed Princess of Jin Hai, certainly couldn’t mooch off someone else’s access card, could she?

The tall and upright security guard ignored her completely.

"I’m talking to you, can’t you hear? Open it, I want to go out!"

Miss Shi shouted in anger.

"Sorry, Miss, it’s working hours now, and you cannot leave."

The security guard finally responded, turning slightly, speaking respectfully yet standing his ground.

Miss Shi’s face turned various shades of white and red, almost wishing she could smash the barrier before her.

But ultimately, this was the headquarters of the group.

Although she was recklessly willful, she wasn’t completely oblivious to the importance of different situations.

Making a scene here, as the princess and sole heir of Jin Hai Industries, would truly be an embarrassing display.

But to just meekly return?

Where would that leave Miss Shi’s dignity?

Just as Miss Shi was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat,

A "beep" sounded.

The barrier that blocked her retracted.

Turning her head,

"Miss, you may leave now."

Chen Zhou put away his work card.

Miss Shi’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Why are you helping me?"

"If Miss’s heart isn’t here, it’s meaningless to keep you against your will."

Chen Zhou appeared entirely unbothered by her previous hostile attitude.

"Keeping me in the company is an order from my dad, and you dare to defy his orders; aren’t you afraid of losing your job?"

Miss Shi was somewhat surprised.

Where did a mere secretary get the courage to defy her father’s authority?

Chen Zhou did not reply, but simply said, "Miss, you are free to go."

Miss Shi’s gaze shifted, and after looking at him for a while, her anger gradually subsided, and she regained her composure.

Instead of leaving, she turned around and headed back towards the elevator, pressing the button.

"Ding."

The elevator doors opened.

"Aren’t you coming up?"

She stepped inside.

Chen Zhou hurriedly followed.
