Chapter 593: 499 Qin Garden

"Jiang Chen, I’m really envious of you. So young and already enjoying retirement life, sigh."

At Lu’s mouth.

Inside the rented large duplex.

Young Master Luo was swishing ingredients in the hot pot while he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Having returned from his travels, Jiang Chen picked up a slice of lamb with his chopsticks and asked with a smile, "Envious?"

Eating out could never match the comfort of home, nor the atmosphere.

The four dormitory brothers cooking hot pot and drinking beer in the room—how cozy was that?

"What do you think?"

Luo Peng said jealously, "Ask Xiao Bai and Li Shao. See if they’re envious or not."

"Life is just like that, always bitter before it’s sweet." Li Shao raised a can of beer.

"Li Shao’s got a point."

Luo Peng couldn’t help but laugh.

The brothers clinked their cans together.

"Hey, Brother Chen, was it fun abroad?"

Clasping a pull-tab can, Bai Zheli asked curiously.

Seeing the black-framed glasses on his nose, Jiang Chen was reminded of Song Chaoge who he had encountered in Las Vegas.

The glasses were similar, yet the man was clearly not of the same kind as their youngest dorm mate.

"It was alright. Don’t look at me like that, you make me sound like some unscrupulous capitalist. When there’s time in the future, I’ll make sure to arrange overseas trips for you on the company’s dime, all expenses paid."

Jiang Chen sounded smoothly like a leader who makes grand promises.

"The boss is so generous."

Young Master Luo quickly gave a thumbs up, then turned to his two good brothers, "Li Shao, Xiao Bai, we gotta remember this. We will have to hold our Boss Jiang to his word later on."

Bai Haoran adjusted his glasses and nodded seriously.

The friends looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter in unison.

"Jiang Chen, you were abroad so long, didn’t you have a romantic encounter? I’ve heard that foreign girls are quite bold."

Some things never change, old habits die hard.

After drinking a sip of ice-cold beer to ease the spice, Luo Peng ambiguously brought up the topic. Although he was the one with the most affluent family among the four dorm brothers, he hadn’t been to Europe or America yet.

"Jiang Chen went with Li Shuru. Where would he have the chance?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Shao who had taken up the conversation. The dorm leader seemed to be getting more extroverted. In the past, he wouldn’t have responded to such banter.

"True."

Luo Peng nodded, expressing his regret, "That’s a pity, such a good opportunity wasted."

"You think I just went abroad to have fun?"

Jiang Chen laughingly scolded, "If my luck had been a bit worse, I might not have been able to come back at all."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn’t you see the news? The Prince’s Garden Stadium shooting in Paris."

"I think I heard about it." Bai Zheli said in surprise, "Brother Chen, you weren’t there at the time, were you?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Luo Peng’s expression changed, "I heard some people died. Are you alright?"

"You care is so fake. If something had happened to me, could I be sitting here eating hot pot and drinking with you?"

"What actually happened at that time?"

Luo Peng asked curiously.

"Just some lunatics indiscriminately killing people. That’s why I say, after all the traveling, our country is still the safest place."

Jiang Chen didn’t elaborate.

"Your luck is really bad. You go out once and even run into such things."

Luo Peng teased, lifting his can.

The two clinked cans.

The four brothers chatted and laughed, enjoying the hot pot feast for over two hours.

On the balcony.

Looking back into the room, Jiang Chen laughed, "You’re living quite the comfortable life, too, aren’t you? Clothes come on hand, meals come to mouth."

Bai Zheli and Li Shao were cleaning up.

Leaning on the balcony, Luo Peng faced towards the room, "Yeah, envious, right? Although you have Li Shuru, look at me, I have two ’virtuous helpers’."

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and turned his gaze back outside.

The night was cool.

"So you’ve asked your family for money?"

"What?"

"Why didn’t you tell me if you were short on cash?"

"Who told you that?"

Luo Peng was surprised.

"I’m the founder of Tianci, did you think you could hide such things from me?"

"Flexing your authority, huh?" Luo Peng glanced sideways.

"I do need to exercise my authority indeed."

Jiang Chen said, "You should have come to me first if you were facing difficulties."

Luo Peng turned around, his arms resting on the balcony railing as he looked up at the night sky, his laughter fading.

"It’s just a small problem. You’re indeed the founder of Tianci, but aren’t we, too? Tianci Capital is our company as well, and it goes without saying that we should contribute to it."

Jiang Chen turned to him, "I remember you said your biggest dream was to be self-reliant and not depend on your family."

"You remember that?"

Luo Peng laughed in surprise, locking eyes with him and then lazily shrugged his shoulders.

"That was just me bragging, and you took it seriously. Isn’t there a popular saying now? Living off your parents is also a skill."

Having lived together for four years, Jiang Chen certainly knew what was on the other’s mind.

If Luo Peng was really just an ambitionless playboy who only thought about eating away his days, they wouldn’t have formed such a friendship.

"I transferred fifty million US dollars to the company account. Take whatever you got from your family and give it back."

Luo Peng wasn’t surprised, but he turned and smiled, "Splitting it so clearly?"

"Shu Rui scolded me, saying I was exploiting you all as labor. On reflection, she’s right. Since Tianci was established, you guys have been the ones busy at work. It’s not fair to ask you to contribute both labor and money, right?"

"Sigh."

Luo Peng looked up to the sky and sighed, "Li junior is really speaking out for justice."

"If you face any difficulties in the future, come straight to me. People say friends shouldn’t go into business together, but I don’t want to see that become true for us."

"Got it."
