Chapter 495: Chapter 495: It’s Not Too Much to Ask for Just a Thousand Points, Right?

Miss Su had done her homework before coming.

From the very beginning, Jiang Li had looked into her initial teammate Yu Li, so naturally, she was aware of his background.

Yu Li was the dean of the Traditional Chinese Medicine University, with an excellent reputation. She needn’t smear her own reputation by offending such a person.

So she quickly apologized and moved to sit on another bed.

It was, coincidentally, Shang Shuyue’s.

Bai Lu really wanted to give a reminder, but intuition told her it would be impolite to say more, so she silently took a seat next to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li wasted no time and turned to face Shang Shaojing.

"What’s the offer, President Shang?"

Doing business was Shang Shaojing’s strong suit.

The most important aspect of a negotiation is the momentum, followed by the arguments, so the moment Jiang Li spoke, Shang Shaojing made sure his presence was fully felt.

Usually, at this point, their opponent would begin to feel uneasy. However, the Jiang Li before him showed no signs of timidity. On the contrary, she was even more indifferent, as if everything was under her control. This made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Shang Shaojing furrowed his brows and said in a steady voice, "Everyone has it tough on this island. How about we pay you 50 points per day? There are still 19 days of filming left, so you’ll get at least over 900 points."

"Wow, is President Shang being that generous?"

"I was a bit annoyed at first, but now I’m tempted. It’s just sharing the water rights, and we could gain over 900 points for nothing."

Yet Jiang Li laughed.

"President Shang really knows his calculations. Outside of this place, even an ordinary house’s use rights wouldn’t come this cheap, let alone here on the Deserted Island, where water is the primary necessity. Is this your attitude, President Shang? It seems a bit insincere."

"Let’s do this. Forget about paying by the day. A lump sum, 1000 points, for half the water rights."

"Holy cow, Jiang Li makes even more sense!"

"Oh my goodness, it’s like a sudden enlightenment. I almost got wrapped up in Shang Shaojing’s talk. Capital really does go crazy in squeezing out the value of commodities for profit!"

"Awesome, is this what negotiations between big bosses look like?"

Shang Shaojing was extremely surprised; he had not anticipated that Jiang Li would see through his intentions and even throw shade his way.

Since his cards were on the table, there was no more point in pretending.

Seeing Shang Shaojing’s displeasure, Su Yinwan hesitantly spoke up, "Jiang Li, isn’t 1000 points a bit too much? We’re all friends after all—"

Jiang Li promptly raised her hand to stop her, smiling slightly, "Miss Su, we’re negotiating right now; let’s leave emotions out of it. I’m proposing a reasonable price based on your current situation. It’s clearly written on the leaderboard; you have four to five thousand points today. Asking for one-fifth is not unreasonable, right?"

Su Yinwan, who had never encountered someone as aggressive and logical as Jiang Li, was at a loss for words and froze.

Shang Shaojing’s voice was cold, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Jiang Li stood up, "There isn’t."

Bai Lu’s adrenaline surged to the peak.

Her idol was so cool!!!

She initially thought Jiang Li would be bullied by the pair, considering one was a top CEO, and the other a leading celebrity—they were used to wielding their influence.

But to her surprise, Jiang Li cut them down to size with a few words.

It was so satisfying!

Thinking this, Bai Lu felt her own confidence grow, and she sat up straighter. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Shang Shaojing clenched his teeth, weighed his options, and then nodded.

"Alright, 1000 points it is, on the condition that you don’t restrict the time and amount of water we use."

"No problem," Jiang Li agreed readily.

Shang Shaojing, though reluctant, acted swiftly and immediately transferred a thousand points to Jiang Li.

At once, their team’s ranking dropped from third to fourth, while Jiang Li’s personal points shot into the top twenty.

Seeing the points credited to his account, the smile in Jiang Li’s eyes became a few degrees more sincere, "President Shang is truly a businessman, straightforward. Jiang Yan, the tea can be served now."

Jiang Yan, who was outside making tea: "..."

Damn it, had he fallen so low as to serve tea and water to Shang Shaojing?!

The tea Jiang Li mentioned wasn’t just any tea; it was wild chrysanthemum Yu Li had found in the woods earlier, dried and steeped, both cooling and refreshing.

Jiang Yan grudgingly broke a chrysanthemum into two halves and placed them into two wooden cups before pouring hot boiling water into them.

Halfway through, he had a brainwave and put down the kettle, then ran to the pool to scoop up two ladles of water used to rinse vegetables and poured it in.

Only after he was done did he realize he had also poured it into Su Yinwan’s cup.

[Hahahahaha Jiang Yan you...]

[Brilliant, the young master is too mischievous, but I like it!]

[Hahahahaha I’m dying of laughter, he really has a great sense of variety shows, I beg other variety show directors to take note of him.]

"Screw it!" Jiang Yan decisively decided to give up pretending.

After all, Su Yinwan’s eyes were full of Shang Shaojing now, and he had been making unreciprocated efforts for so many years, so what if he served her some vegetable rinse water?

While tussling with Jiang Li inside the cave, Su Yinwan suddenly received a system notification alert.

[Ding—Jiang Yan’s affinity has decreased by 10 points, currently remaining at 40 points!]

She didn’t even have time to be shocked before she saw Jiang Yan coming in with two cups of tea, different from what she had expected—he was smiling cheerfully as he entered.

Su Yinwan: !!!

So, what happened?

"President Shang, Miss Su, please drink while it’s still hot," Jiang Yan placed the cups in front of the two.

Shang Shaojing frowned.

His intuition told him that there was something off about these two cups of water, but he hadn’t had pure water to drink all day, not to mention this steaming chrysanthemum tea.

But there were cameras here, so Jiang Yan wouldn’t dare to be so bold, right?

Thus, Shang Shaojing picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, the tea was the right temperature, sweet and pleasant, and he didn’t feel the slightest discomfort drinking it.

Except that Jiang Yan’s smile grew even wider.

Su Yinwan picked up the tea as well but found it less satisfying.

While pretending to be shielded by the cup, she observed Jiang Yan’s expression.

Then she slightly smiled and decided to make a friendly gesture to recover some affinity.

"Brother Yan, we’re planning to camp near you guys from now on, so we’ll be able to see each other every day."

As if by coincidence, Shang Shuyue was returning from the outside at this time and hadn’t even stepped into the cave when she heard this skin-crawling voice.

Upon closer inspection, geez, the vixen seducing Jiang Yan was even sitting on her bed!

Shang Shuyue, not much of an internet user and naturally not familiar with Su Yinwan, could tell by her looks that she was Jiang Yan’s type. This made her even more infuriated, and she flung her backpack to the ground.

"Who are you, why are you sitting on my bed?!"

Su Yinwan, who had been yelled at out of nowhere, didn’t look too pleased either but swiftly got up, her face turning red and flustered.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know....."
