I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Chapter 2299: Chapter 1459: Subdue the Sharpness, Resolve the Strife, Harmonize the Light, Join the Dust (2)

"Jiang Chen, dear brother, who came up with the name Long March Group? It’s a great name."

Dan Yiyi leaned in and gazed far away, speaking with heartfelt admiration.

"Jin Se."

"I thought it was you who came up with it."

Looking at the vast landscape, Dan Yiyi turned back with a smile, "Since it’s been given such a name, we can’t fail its meaning. The Great Wall has always been about defending against foreign invasions, ensuring a happy life for China’s children."

Although she’s living in comfort, don’t really mistake her for a fragile, delicate young lady.

Her background makes it impossible for her to be just a merchant girl singing casual songs without understanding the pain of a lost nation.

"Your acquisition of Hengsheng and investment in Speed was very admirable. You have given a home to the people at the bottom. Sister really admires you."

Dan Yiyi’s gaze was like a silk thread, her posture exactly like a monster eyeing Tang Seng in the Silk Cave.

Ten years of cold hardships, no one asked; a moment of success, known to the world.

Although it was the first time meeting this sister, Jiang Chen was clear that he was definitely a hotly debated figure in Kyoto City’s streets, lanes, and even deep boudoirs.

"Sister is very curious, why did you want to do this?"

This doubt, compared to her other expressions, seemed the most genuine and sincere.

"Because I too come from the masses."

Jiang Chen’s calm response brought a moment of quiet to the atmosphere, only disrupted by the chatter of nearby tourists and the wind blowing from the magnificent landscape.

"Pfft~"

Staring at Jiang Chen, Dan Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, "Jiang Chen, you’re really humorous."

In comparison, Lan Peizhi appeared unfazed. After all, this was the first time Dan Yiyi interacted with him, while she was long accustomed.

Jiang Chen, who never fell into cliché while showing off, still had an expression more determined than when party members join the party, as he continued, "It took me twenty years to dare to accompany Sister Dan on a Great Wall tour."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere went silent again.

The smile that just appeared on Dan Yiyi’s face froze.

Not just her, even the well-acquainted Lan Peizhi cast a glance at someone.

Jiang Chen maintained his anonymous demeanor, his deep gaze fixed on the distant horizon. If caught on camera, he’d surely be included in Kyoto Film Academy textbooks.

This is truly what it means to advance to greater heights.

Boss Jiang had long shed low-level tastes of sensationalized power play and flaunting wealth, his showing-off skills having attained sublime levels, akin to the formlessness of an elephant.

After a moment of daze, Dan Yiyi quietly mused aloud, "Jiang Chen’s words, they’re so flavorful..."

Indeed, very flavorful.

Even Lan Peizhi turned her gaze aside.

Actually.

It was not just a facade.

The words were a true reflection of Jiang Chen’s inner feelings.

The young lady might take twenty minutes to walk from home to the Forbidden City, whereas it took him a whole twenty years to visit it for the first time.

"I finally understand why so many people like you now."

Dan Yiyi mused to herself, then a smile curved back up, "Turns out, you’re not just handsome, but also so talented."

Jiang Chen remained calm, unperturbed by favor or insult.

"Come on, Pei Zhi, take a picture of Jiang Chen and me."

Dan Yiyi’s interest surged, prompting her to use Lan Peizhi as the photographer.

Jiang Chen was inevitably conflicted, chatting and joking was fine since only heaven and earth knew, and the wind blew everything away. However, if during the photo-taking, this unorthodox sister made some overly enthusiastic gestures, providing tangible evidence, then... that would be hard to explain.

"Why don’t you two take the photo, and I’ll do the shooting."

Though a tad impolite, Jiang Chen opted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Dan Yiyi shot him a glance, likely guessing at the little calculations in his mind.

"Hmph! Acting like a coward with me now?"

Hopefully, this young lady only acts like this before Jiang Chen, otherwise, she’d certainly be dangerous, for not all beings can withstand such tests like Jiang Chen.

"Alright. I’ll take the photo for you two then, is that okay?"

Sure enough, as the daughter of an affluent family, she’s somewhat reasonable and didn’t put Jiang Chen in a difficult position. Dan Yiyi arranged for Lan Peizhi to stand with Jiang Chen, taking on the photographer’s role herself.

Regarding this.

Jiang Chen surely had no objections.

After all, Blood Guanyin wouldn’t take advantage of him.

However, his lack of objection doesn’t mean the other party will consent.

"I won’t take a photo."

Lan Peizhi refused.

Surely not targeting anyone, but she simply doesn’t have the hobby of taking photos.

"Pei Zhi, it’s rare to be out, don’t spoil the fun, okay?" Dan Yiyi persuaded.

When receiving favors, you must reciprocate.

Knowing Lan Peizhi decisively supported Jinhai, it’s clear how grateful she is.

The other party helped her against Cao Jinse, this small request is hardly a request, how could she shamelessly refuse?

And thus, under Dan Yiyi’s efforts, Jiang Chen and Lan Peizhi stood together, naturally, Jiang Chen moved closer, behind them was the beacon tower, further back stretched an endless dragon.

"Do none of you know how to take a photo? Stand closer."

Women seem innately drawn to the fun of photography, save for a few exceptions. As a temporary photographer, Dan Yiyi beamed and tirelessly instructed, holding her phone continuously.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing? Relax your body, don’t be so stiff, Pei Zhi won’t bite."

Recently thrown over a wall, Jiang Chen remained silent, not knowing his inner thoughts.

The one beside him couldn’t bite.

But could kill.

"Scooch closer, smile like I do."

Dan Yiyi both directed and demonstrated, "If you place your hand on Pei Zhi’s waist, that’d be even better."

Sister.

You’re really unreserved.

Jiang Chen’s heartbeat skipped a beat, causing his adjusted smile to stiffen again.

Though Lan Peizhi said nothing, he certainly dared not move.

A three-meter-high wall is one thing, but being thrown out from here? Really assume he’s made of copper and iron?

Never hope for mercy from others.

"Alright, just like this then."

Seeing the "timid" opposite, Dan Yiyi had no choice but stopped fussing, raising the phone in compromise.

"Click."

The frame froze.

Raw image.

Yet the male and female protagonists in the photo hardly needed filters.

Jiang Chen was quite cooperative, his smile more natural when the shutter clicked, combined with handsome features and a personable charisma, exuding grace against the magnificent backdrop.

And by his side, Lan Peizhi almost brushing against his clothes, even without a smile, her gaze at the camera was still timeless.

Dan Yiyi put down the phone, examining silently, nodding with seeming contemplation.

Jiang Chen, wary of her rash words, promptly left the danger zone, approaching her, "Let me see."

As Jiang Chen walked closer, Dan Yiyi handed over the phone, "Quite a match."

As expected!

Luckily, he came over, or both would have heard the comment.

Jiang Chen, preemptively aware, received the phone, quickly glancing down.

Hmm.

Honestly speaking.

Dan Yiyi’s evaluation wasn’t unfounded. Perhaps due to her photography skills, the pair in the photo, though "awkward," displayed a strange harmony, completely worthy as an ad for a photo company.

However—

"Sister Dan, don’t you know her personality?"

Jiang Chen subtly reminded.

"I do, what? Been disciplined?"

"Don’t drag me into this, alright."

Dan Yiyi chuckled, looking at the young man’s bitter expression, her gaze meaningful, "Sister’s eaten a few more years, you think sister’s foolish?"

Then she lowered her voice too, "Can’t you see, sister’s helping you?"

"Don’t play tricks, sister’s not Pei Zhi, sister’s children are in kindergarten already, understanding men’s minds quite well. Can you say you have no interest in Pei Zhi?"

"..."

Dan Yiyi took the phone back, "Alright, stop pretending. You’re skilled, at least better than those guys like Sun Mangong."

Dan Yiyi revealed a knowing smile.

"Blunt its sharpness, resolve its conflict, harmonize its light, unite with its dust. To move a woman like Pei Zhi, only such methods work, right?"

"..."

Jiang Chen remained silent.

Dan Yiyi sighed.

"You’re the most courageous person I’ve ever met."
