Chapter 824: 611 haha

Jiang Chen, who had just taken a shower, held a towel and wiped his hair while standing by the window, watching the Haojiang Tower under the reflection of lights outside.

Although it was involuntary, the environment of this high-end business suite was much better than the previous one. If he were to pay for it himself, it would probably cost several thousand a night.

[Favorability Rating: 70]

[Lick-dog Gold to be Withdrawn: 66,596,530,000]

To be withdrawn.

That was the amount spent on the current conquest target.

Over sixty-six billion.

Because this mission promised a hundred percent cashback, if the conquest were completed, along with his existing assets...

The global hundred-billion club would probably have to add another name!

Holding such wealth, let alone domestically, would place him in a significant position globally.

From the son of a humble family—no, not even humble, to cross such a vast class chasm, took just one year.

Even though Jiang Chen’s resolve was unlike ordinary people, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions.

He held the towel, gently exhaled.

Of course.

Even with astronomical wealth in his account, successfully withdrawing it was not an easy task.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end.

Ever since coming back from Lan Peizhi’s hometown, the favorability rating seemed to be frozen by some invisible force. Even though he was born and risked his life in Goryeo, exerting so much effort, it did not shake it the slightest.

Even if perplexed, Jiang Chen did not blame heaven and others.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

As long as he kept trying, he would eventually be rewarded.

Besides, it was said, "to be human is to have feelings."

Though nicknamed Blood Guanyin, Lan Peizhi was not a saint; but a person of flesh and blood.

While sharing life and death in Goryeo didn’t increase the favorability rating further, Jiang Chen believed it definitely laid a good foundation.

Like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

To breakthrough again in favorability, might just need one final push.

He had to admit, Jiang Chen was indeed a positive person. With a thought, he perked up and rubbed his damp hair.

"Ding-dong..."

The message notification sounded.

Jiang Chen turned around and picked up the mobile phone from the coffee table.

It was a message from Pei Yunxi.

[Smile]

No words.

Just a simple emoji.

How... polite.

Jiang Chen’s lips unconsciously curved upwards as he typed, "Has the filming ended already? So soon?"

This time, her reply came quickly, just a few seconds after sending the message.

"Not yet, still at least half a year left."

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised.

He had invested several billion US dollars in this movie; such a big production couldn’t possibly be that efficient.

To know that shooting a film for ten to twenty years isn’t something out of the ordinary.

"Then why has the promotion started so early?"

"It’s probably just a warm-up."

Jiang Chen realized, and didn’t ask more about this topic. After all, Pei Yunxi was just the lead actress, not responsible for promotion.

"How are you feeling? Is it tough? If you are tired, talk to Director Fei to take a rest, don’t push yourself too hard."

Theoretically, the conquest was already completed, and he didn’t need to spend more effort on her, but Jiang Chen couldn’t resist his natural male instincts.

Absolutely true.

Man is not grass or wood.

Jiang Chen never considered himself a saint.

Let alone him, facing a woman like Pei Yunxi, what man could remain unmoved?

"If even this is considered tough, then what about others?"

Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless, watching the chat interface, he smiled silently.

If possessing just a beautiful appearance, even if exceedingly beautiful, that only makes one a pleasing vase.

No matter how beautiful the vase, ultimately, it’s not of much value.

What is rare is that besides her looks, Pei Yunxi also possesses a soul no less beautiful than her appearance.

Otherwise, figures like Shi Zhenhua probably wouldn’t take a special interest in her.

"Most people in this world are undergoing their trials."

Jiang Chen replied, if he wished, given today’s conditions, he could accomplish many men’s dreams—forcibly claim Pei Yunxi as his own.

Furthermore, he was almost certain she wouldn’t refuse.

But he had never entertained such a thought.

Pei Yunxi was a top famous international star indeed, but now he could fairly say: she was merely an actress.

Human society is a jungle, even dressed in the cloak of civilization, its essence hasn’t changed, similar to the animal world, the principle of survival of the fittest still prevails.

Compared to capital, so-called celebrities are clearly in a lower tier of the food chain.

But Jiang Chen never harbored any thought of looking down on her, even felt genuine respect for this outlier in the entertainment industry.

Of course.

Now, Pei Yunxi was no longer just a simple celebrity. After taking over the shares of K.E Corporation, she had already shed her original position in the food chain. If she were to face Shi Zhenhua now, she could meet him as an equal.

"Have you seen Li’er?"

Pei Yunxi changed the topic.

"No, what happened?"

Jiang Chen messaged back reflexively, but then he understood her point.

He had indeed promised to look after her sister, and had even been paid for it.

He quickly typed: "I’m not in East Sea right now, but when I return, I’ll check on her. That girl isn’t a child anymore, she can take care of herself, you don’t need to worry."
