Chapter 931: 678 Uh... (Asking for monthly votes!)

"You didn’t say you knew Mr. Liu earlier."

After the dinner party, while driving Jiang Chen to Spring and Autumn Plaza, Luo Peng exhaled lightly, trying to calm his agitated mood, and couldn’t help but complain, "Do you know how much money we’ve spent on promoting the new game?"

As part of Tianci’s Carefree Studio, after developing a successful virtual romance game, they didn’t rest on their laurels. To date, they had launched another new mobile game.

For things like movies and games, once created, you need to advertise them; that’s the so-called promotion.

And so far, there is no larger traffic portal in the nation than Xingkong.

"What does that have to do with anything? Just because I know the boss, does that mean I can advertise on Xingkong for free?"

Luo Peng was at a loss for words.

Indeed.

Many times, favors are the most expensive.

The higher the status, the pricier the favor debt.

"...At least you can get a discount."

Jiang Chen changed the subject, "Are you interested in joining the Donghai Commerce Association?"

Luo Peng turned his head.

Donghai Commerce Association?

The principle of strength in numbers applied everywhere.

As smart as the big entrepreneurs were, they knew this principle all too well.

Similar organizations existed in various regions, allying and sharing resources.

"I probably don’t qualify yet, do I?"

Luo Peng hesitated.

As the most developed city in Shenzhou, East Sea’s economic status needed no explanation, so the tone set by the Donghai Commerce Association was clear.

Tianci Capital’s current growth momentum was indeed strong, and among the vast number of companies nationwide, it was considered sizable, but Luo Peng still didn’t feel he qualified to join the Donghai Commerce Association.

After all, there were simply too many impressive companies in East Sea.

"You just need to tell me if you want to."

"Isn’t that obvious?"

Without a second thought, Luo Peng said, "My old man joined one of our local commerce associations, and it took a lot of effort. Being part of the Donghai Commerce Association would really mean you’re someone significant in the country."

As he spoke, Luo Peng couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to join the Donghai Commerce Association and return home. With the old man’s expression, surely he could finally "hold his head high."

Thoughts of that scene made Luo Peng laugh out loud.

More than the admiration of outsiders, the greatest satisfaction comes from the recognition and comfort of one’s own family.

"Why do you laugh so lewdly?"

Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

Luo Peng came back to his senses and quickly subdued his laughter. While driving, he said, "I’ve said I’m interested, do you have a way?"

"I’ll let you know."

Jiang Chen was succinct.

Luo Peng looked at him with a strange expression.

Organizations like the Donghai Commerce Association had very strict entry thresholds, but remembering that Jiang could casually chat with big shots like Liu Yiming, Luo Peng was reassured.

"Why don’t you join yourself?"

He posed the question.

That was a good question.

The president of the Donghai Commerce Association was Lan Peizhi.

And Shi Zhenhua had also invited him.

But now that Lan Peizhi had joined Tianci, joining an organization she led might seem a bit...

So, Jiang Chen didn’t answer the question and instead lightly said, "If you’re not up for it, I’ll talk to Xiao Bai."

"Xiao Bai?"

Luo Peng chuckled, grasping the steering wheel, "He’s fine with managing funds, but asking him to deal with those bigwigs is just too much for him. Brother Shao isn’t suitable either, so it has to be me."

Luo Peng freed one hand to point at himself, sporting a smug look of self-importance.

Jiang Chen smiled, looking out the window.

"Would you like to come in?"

Luo Peng, the driver, was doing his job well, taking Jiang Chen directly to the villa entrance.

"Never mind, it’s getting late. I won’t interrupt your time for two."

"She’s at school."

Luo Peng hesitated but ultimately didn’t agree.

Jiang Chen didn’t insist.

Watching him exit the car, Luo Peng wanted to say something but held back.

To this day, his impression of Li Shuru had completely changed. As an outsider, he could see her contributions more clearly.

He thought Jiang Chen was too busy these days, seldom seen, let alone Li Shuru.

What girl would accept a relationship full of brief meetings and long separations?

Of course.

Their relationship was different, or rather, Jiang Chen was different from ordinary people.

Not to mention Jiang Chen, even Luo Peng probably couldn’t devote himself entirely to a relationship.

"Drive safely."

Jiang Chen closed the car door.

"Got it."

Luo Peng ultimately said nothing and turned the car around to leave.

Li Shuru was indeed not at home.

Upon entering the villa, Jiang Chen got straight to business, making a call to the president of the Donghai Commerce Association.

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

"No."

The response was straightforward.

With a broad-minded and calm demeanor, Jiang pressed, "Then when are you free?"

"Probably not anytime soon."

"..."

Jiang Chen grinned wryly but managed a small joke; was there a need to hold such a grudge?

Of course.

He also wisely didn’t bring up the past.

"I’d like to introduce someone to the Donghai Commerce Association, my roommate, the CEO of Tianci Capital, Luo Peng."

"Prepare a personal resume."

Lan Peizhi was fair and stern.

"..."

Jiang Chen was speechless; he had thought their personal relationship would allow a heart-to-heart talk.

"Okay."

"Once you’re ready, just give it to your father-in-law."

Father-in-law?

Jiang Chen became even more bewildered.

He hadn’t had time to ask when the call was already ended.
