Chapter 530: 469 Exciting Game (Two in One)

"Phew..."

Staring at the computer, Takagi Gentarou let out a deep breath, his eyes filled with unsettling bloodshot streaks.

It had been a long time since he’d slept well.

Whenever he dozed off in a daze, he saw the collapsing stock market and a face sneering and gloating at him.

Each time, he longed to see that face clearly, but never succeeded, always waking up in unwilling and angry self-loathing.

euros.

Watching the stock price on the screen that had stabilized its fall and was now steadily rising, Takagi Gentarou’s taut nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

His choice hadn’t been a mistake.

Though it cost him a great deal, at least he’d succeeded in pulling the company back from the brink.

As for what to do next, what ambitions the Fujihara Family might have, he simply didn’t have the energy to consider at the moment.

Relaxation gave way to an overwhelming tide of fatigue. Leaning back in his chair, Takagi Gentarou closed his eyes and wasn’t out for long before he saw that face again in a daze.

The other’s smile was even more sinister.

"Damn it!"

Clenching his teeth, as usual, he desperately wanted to pounce, but then a piercing ring from the telephone yanked him from the nightmare.

Opening his bloodshot eyes, he turned his head to look at the vibrating desk phone.

"Hello."

"The lady asked me to inform you, it’s about the K.E. Group, the Eastern female celebrity you insulted, Pei Yunxi."

The caller’s tone was dismissive as if addressing a stray dog on the street, laden with condescension.

But at that moment, Takagi Gentarou couldn’t be bothered with such details.

"How is that possible?!"

He couldn’t believe it, "How can an actress have that kind of power?!"

"She doesn’t, but the man behind her does."

The other party spoke succinctly, seemingly merely fulfilling a duty to inform him. After saying that, the call was disconnected.

Before he could speak, Takagi Gentarou, unable to contain his rage, hurled the receiver away.

"Clang!"

"Damn it, they should all die!"

Takagi Gentarou’s face twisted into something monstrous, like a vengeful ghost, he trashed the office, then finally slumped back down, gasping for breath in his chair.

Hearing the commotion, bodyguards quickly entered, surveyed the mess, exchanged a glance, lowered their heads, and were about to leave.

Takagi Gentarou, eyes red, called out to stop them.

"Wait a minute."

Parc des Princes Stadium.

The home of Paris Saint-Germain.

A booming crowd.

Soccer is the war of the peaceful era.

Taking a woman to a soccer game embodies the romance men yearn for.

And what if the woman is a superstar? What then?

But Pei Yunxi showed none of the awareness you’d expect from a star, sitting casually in the stands without any disguise. It was Jiang Chen who was wearing a hat, deliberately pulling the brim down low.

Learn from past mistakes.

He had been secretly photographed before.

There were plenty of people of Chinese descent all around.

"Aren’t you afraid of being recognized?"

"Wasn’t it you who wanted to watch the game?" Pei Yunxi said nonchalantly, watching the passionate players on the field, "You’re a capable man."

Jiang Chen gave a silent smile.

This lady...

She really didn’t hold back.

It was Jiang Chen’s first time attending a live match, and seeing the French fans around him shouting passionately for their team, he felt a twinge of envy.

Didn’t his countrymen also wish to cheer for their team?

But as for the national team—

Forget it.

Best left unsaid.

"When do you plan to leave Paris?"

Despite it being just a friendly match, the players were incredibly involved, with forwards sprinting back to their own half to defend.

In contrast, if it had been players from the national team, they’d probably just shake their heads, hands on hips, and casually spit on the grass.

"Why are you so concerned about when I leave?"

"Aren’t I worried about delaying the film? Although I’m the producer, this is your first venture into the international market. Leaving an impression of being a diva could be bad for your future," he said, sounding genuinely thoughtful.

She replied indifferently, "The director said they’re just shooting some unimportant scenes right now; they don’t need me."

Her attitude differed greatly from before; she used to be a workaholic.

"You weren’t like this in the Miao village."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help saying.

"Is that so?"

Pei Yunxi turned her head to glance at him, "Imagine, you work hard all your life, and you might not even make as much as others earn in a few days. Then you probably won’t find it strange anymore."

Jiang Chen fell silent, then smiled, "Being sentimental isn’t your style."

Pei Yunxi tilted her head, still looking at him, "Do you know me that well?"

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and didn’t reply.

Just then, a wave of cheers erupted.

The home team had scored.

Pei Yunxi turned her attention back to the pitch.

And truly.

Even as a top star, the experiences of these days must have still shaken Pei Yunxi.

She hadn’t been wrong.

She could toil a lifetime in films and probably not earn as much as was lost in the stock market in just half a month.

Compared to that, it indeed seemed quite demoralizing.

"Once this movie is released, it’ll be different. Then you will become one of the top actresses in the country."
