I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2188 - 1399: Requesting Monthly Tickets!
"Ah, youโre too kind."
Despite saying this, Youmao wasnโt the slightest bit embarrassed. She sat down confidently, with a touch of smugness. ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐ฌ๐๐ข
Boss Jiang was someone who understood reciprocation. After troubling someone to pick him up late at night, he decided to treat them today, and even chose the Kyoto Hotel as the venue.
His intentions were sincere.
In fact, picking up his own lady should have been the rabbitโs duty.
Everyone has a sense of vanity, and even Youmao proved this point. She was quite satisfied with Jiang Chenโs politeness, which made him seem more pleasant in her eyes.
"Howโs your hand?"
See?
You reap what you sow.
Turns out Youmao could be considerate.
"Itโs nothing."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and deliberately raised his bitten right hand to show it.
He said itโs nothing.
But there was clearly a bandage still on the back of his hand.
But just having a bandage means itโs nothing.
"Did you go to the hospital?"
"Itโs not worth going to the hospital."
Boss Jiang was a tough guy. Going to the hospital for something a bandage could solve would be laughable.
"Jiang Chen, you shouldnโt take it lightly."
Youmao put on a serious face, "I just read a news story like yours. Someone got bitten, didnโt get checked at the hospital due to carelessness, and eventually had to have a limb amputated."
"Can a bite be that serious?"
Jiang Chen genuinely was puzzled, having never heard of this before.
"Why would I lie to you!"
Youmao nodded earnestly, "You better be careful."
Though a bit touched, werenโt you worried about offending your own lady?
But Cao Jinse wasnโt here.
Every situation is different.
Boss Jiangโs dinner today was specifically for Youmao, and Cao Jinse wasnโt invited.
"Did you tell your lady you were going out?"
"No. Miss only has eyes for her work; she probably doesnโt even know Iโm gone."
"Isnโt that because youโre always napping in her office?"
"Jiang Chen, she bit you, and youโre still defending her?"
She maintained her innocent tone, but Jiang Chen noticed an unusual gleam in her eyes.
"Did she scold you?"
"Sigh."
Youmao sighed, "Iโm used to it. Women, theyโre just difficult creatures."
Jiang Chen couldnโt help but chuckle.
Acting so freely just because Cao Jinse isnโt here?
And arenโt you a girl yourself?
"The dishes are ordered. If youโd like, you can check if you want anything else."
"No need, no need. Itโs my first time being treated to a meal at such a nice place. Iโm already very satisfied."
"..."
Jiang Chen was quite sure this rabbit was teasing him.
Being part of the Cao Family, always hanging around with Cao Jinse, how could she lack gourmet food?
Besides, anyone wanting to ingratiate themselves with her might be like fish in the river.
To be exact.
Boss Jiang was treating to give Youmao face.
Youmao leaving her lady back at the company to come here was also giving Boss Jiang face, wasnโt it?
"Jiang Chen, donโt worry, weโll keep in touch from now on."
Youmao winked at him.
Jiang Chen kept silent, as if he didnโt see, and signaled the waiter to serve the dishes.
The phone rang.
It was Cao Xiugo.
Jiang Chen, maintaining his composure, picked up the phone and got up.
"I need to take a call."
Youmao nodded, unconcerned.
Jiang Chen stepped out, stood in the hallway, and pressed the answer button.
"Jiang, are you free today?"
"Whatโs up, Young Master Song?"
"Iโve talked to Hu Die, but eventually youโll need to meet her in person. If youโre available, should I have her come to Apang Palace to meet you?"
Jiang Chen paused.
"Young Master Song, have her come to the Kyoto Hotel, Iโm eating here now."
"Alright."
Apart from personal opinions, Song Chaoge had some rare qualities, and once he agreed, there was no delay.
Of course.
Maybe itโs different for different people.
With someone else, he might not be as efficient.
Jiang Chen put away his phone and returned to the private room, stating upfront: "Someone else might join us later."
"Who? Duanmu?"
So sheโs not calling her Taoist nun sister anymore.
Just after asking, Youmao realized the mistake; the other person was clearly in East Sea, not Kyoto.
"Hu Die."
"Who?"
Youmao seemed perplexed.
Jiang Chen thought she might not know Hu Die, but then he heard her continue: "Young Master Songโs lover?"
Young Master Song?
Lover?
Jiang Chen closed his mouth and fell silent.
"Jiang Chen, youโre amazing. Youโre really skilled at stealing someoneโs affections, huh!"
Youmaoโs eyes danced, though her tone left a slight uneasy feeling.
"Since thereโs someone else coming, letโs hold off on the dishes for now."
Turns out she had manners, after all.
Meanwhile.
In another private room of the Kyoto Hotel.
Zhong Xiaoye, who had traveled from afar, was also waiting for someone.
However, their side was running low on patience, and his underling Xiao Buduan kept checking his watch.
"Boss, timeโs almost up."
"What time is it?"
"Quarter past twelve."
"Thereโs still a quarter-hour left, isnโt there?"
Zhong Xiaoye looked at the opulently set table with no dishes yet, seeming calm yet constantly rubbing his thumb and index finger, revealing he was just as anxious as his underling.
Negotiating a deal with Heaven and Earth Bank was just one aspect of his trip to Kyoto; there were other equally important tasks.
Such as.
Continuing to weave a network of connections.
Though rejected by the Fang Familyโs eldest son, one mustnโt get stuck in a rut; adaptability is key.
Shen Zhou is vast and rich with resources; there isnโt just one stronghold.
Compared to the declining Fang Family, the Gong Family he recently connected with is equally formidable.
