Chapter 502: 445 Don’t scare me

Office.

Shi Qianxi barely had any rest time after returning from Hancheng, and was currently listening to the report from Ouyang Cheng, who was responsible for overseas business, occasionally interacting with a few words, very earnestly.

As a member of the Board of Directors, Ouyang Cheng was a well-known "hawkish" bigwig within the group, aggressive and assertive, and had huge disagreements with the "external relative forces" headed by Meng Jiye on a previous military project.

The two sides may not have been at each other’s throats, but they certainly did not see eye to eye.

In the vast East Sea Group, there were not only these two factions internally; balancing these forces was also an important lesson Shi Qianxi needed to master.

"Chairman, Mr. Jiang Jiang Chen has arrived."

Secretary Ma came in to report.

Shi Qianxi didn’t seem surprised and nodded without changing her expression, "Got it, have him wait a moment."

After leaving Jiang Chen hanging for about ten to twenty minutes and finishing her chat with Ouyang Cheng, she then notified her secretary to let him in.

Jiang Chen passed by Ouyang Cheng.

"Do you know him?"

Shi Qianxi leaned back in her chair.

"He’s a director of East Sea, Ouyang Cheng, a veteran of the group, my father’s right-hand man, and also a thorn in my uncle’s side."

As for the internal affairs of East Sea, Jiang Chen naturally had no interest and walked emotionlessly to the office desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Seeing this, Shi Qianxi smiled, picked up a planning document from the desk.

"Take a look."

Jiang Chen, clearly with bad intentions, kept a cold face and was quite unaccommodating, "No need."

"You might regret this, it’s about Lan Peizhi."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s expression finally changed; he instantly recalled the woman who was unforgettable to anyone who’d seen her.

Lan Mansion’s former residence, East Sea Opera House, by the banks of Pu River, and sniping in the wind from a helicopter...

Scenes intertwined and flickered through his mind.

He looked at the planning document, but still couldn’t help reaching out to take it.

Shi Qianxi sat up straight, leaning forward, her arms on the desk.

"Now I realize that Lan Peizhi has been cooperating with East Sea all along."

Jiang Chen didn’t speak and simply flipped through the planning document before looking up.

"This isn’t cooperation; it’s outright robbery."

Shi Qianxi laughed heartily.

"The essence of business is the pursuit of profit, legal and compliant, why not do it? Buffett, Soros, didn’t they all start like this? Don’t tell me you feel sympathy for those Korean people."

As an academic ace studying economics, Jiang Chen quickly understood the situation after a brief overview.

Indeed, the current arena was no longer the old arena.

Strategies like collecting protection fees and running entertainment venues were far too low-end for the big shots of this era.

For example, the woman touted as the "Bloody Guanyin" had already extended her reach overseas, using East Sea Industries as her backing to plunder the wealth of Koreans.

"There are 50 million people in Korea, but do you know how many stock trading accounts they have? Over 60 million. These Koreans are either stock trading or on their way to trade stocks, dreaming of pies falling from the sky every day. There are no greener chives than them. If anything, blame their own stupidity. Even if we don’t harvest them, others won’t spare them either."

Shi Qianxi crossed her arms and spoke as a matter of course.

In fact, with a certain amount of capital, swinging the sickle in the stock market was all too easy, such as acquiring some small companies or simply establishing some shell companies, then through some boastful operations and speculation, making these companies appear very valuable. Once listed, they had no worries about finding buyers, especially in a country like Korea where everyone was into stock trading.

That’s what East Sea and Lan Peizhi did.

"Won’t the Korean government step in?"

"Step in? Can it really do anything?"

Shi Qianxi said dismissively: "The most ruthless against Koreans are the Americans, have you ever seen a son dare to fight his father?"

Jiang Chen had no rebuttal.

He put down the planning document.

"Are you sick?"

Shi Qianxi was confused by his sudden insult.

"Why are you swearing at me?"

Jiang Chen, almost sidetracked, said coldly, "Taking photos like that, is that something you would do?"

Shi Qianxi was stunned for a moment, not at all sheepish, but instead laughed meaningfully, "You saw it? What was your little school sister’s reaction? Did she say she wanted to break up with you?"

Jiang Chen at this moment had the urge to lash out with his belt, speaking seriously and somberly, "Give me your phone."

"For what?"

"To delete the photo."

"No way!"

Shi Qianxi immediately retreated backward, even sliding her chair back.

"It took me half an hour just to get the shot right."

Obviously.

She hadn’t just snapped a single photo, the ones currently sent to Li Shuru alone showed multiple angles and poses.

"Do you know what your status is now? Do you even realize what you’re doing..."

"Weren’t you the one who taught me all this?"

Shi Qianxi blinked innocently.

Jiang Chen was instantly choked up and couldn’t speak for a long while.

Indeed.

The means by which he had forcibly resolved his grudges with this lady were not exactly honorable.

On this matter, he truly was at fault.

However, he never imagined that one day he himself would become the victim.

Quite a turn of events, teaching the barbarians only to be outdone by them at their own game.

Indeed, the blue is made out of the indigo but is more vivid than it.

"With so many good qualities I possess, why don’t you learn from those?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but retort.

"Do you know what I admire most about you?"

Shi Qianxi gazed at him earnestly, "It’s that your skin is thick enough."

Jiang Chen suppressed the urge to slam his fist on the table, still planning to persuade her with emotion and reason.

After all, who knows how many photos this woman actually took?

Even if Li Shuru was unexpectedly calm last night, if she were to be harassed like this every day, she would eventually break down.

So, the top priority...

Was to eliminate those photos.

"You took these photos, that’s one thing, but how dare you send them out? Do you realize how serious the consequences would be if these photos went public? Have you thought about yourself?"

"How could they go public, I didn’t send them out to anyone else."

"But what if she decides to make them public?"

"She won’t."

Shi Qianxi said confidently, "She isn’t that stupid. You still haven’t answered me, did she break up with you or not?"

Jiang Chen, unable to contain himself any longer, threatened, "Do you believe I would tell Director Meng?"

Shi Qianxi looked at him oddly, and after a while, she said, "Don’t scare me."

"..."

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

If this woman was afraid of her parents, she wouldn’t have developed such a personality in the first place.

If Meng Meiling found out about this, his troubles would most likely become even greater.

Would you expect her mother to believe a story like, "Your daughter drugged me, but we are innocent"?

She might just come charging back from Capital City to slap him in the face.

"So, you’re not going to delete them?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed with a "ferocious" light.

But Shi Qianxi has always been an unyielding character. She sat in her chair, arms crossed, full of composure.

"Why? Thinking of forcing me? Here, my phone is in my bag."

She nodded towards the handbag on her desk.

"But even if you smash my phone, I’ll simply get a new one. The photos in my album are all backed up; data recovery is very simple."

Jiang Chen fell silent and stood up.

Shi Qianxi, looking entirely at ease, lowered her hands, "Hey, you’re just leaving like that?"

Jiang Chen left without a word.

What else could he do?

Faced with such a woman, he really had no recourse.

"Are you really angry?"

Shi Qianxi quickly stood up, "Alright, alright, I won’t send any more to Li Shuru. Can’t I keep them for my own memories?"

Jiang Chen pretended to be aloof, continuing his stride and quickly exiting the office.

"Could they have really broken up? Maybe I’ve overestimated her?"

Shi Qianxi muttered to herself.
