(Vote for monthly tickets!) Big eyes staring at small eyes.
The scene fell into a stalemate.
“As you can see, my temple is very small.
It can’t accommodate a big Buddha like you.
A project worth several tens of billions is too much for to handle.
You should find soone more capable.”
Even though he knew that this woman was impervious to soft approaches and only responded to force, as this was his own school, Jiang Chen couldn’t act recklessly.
He had to be patient and persuade her with kind words.
“I didn’t say I wanted you to invest.”
Shi Qianxi took the lead in sitting down by the chair, “Boss Jiang, don’t stand there, it’s tiring to talk.
Sit and chat.”
Jiang Chen clenched his fists and could only sit down where Luo Peng had just been.
The table was littered with sunflower seed shells.
“Speak.”
All he wanted was for her to finish talking so he could hurry her out.
“My parents got divorced.
You know that, right?”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, “And then?”
There is no small matter in an emperor’s household.
The sa is true for high-profile families.
As the first and second largest shareholders of Jinhai Industrial, Shi Qianxi’s parents’ divorce was not just a family division but also signified turbulence in a comrcial juggernaut.
Although Shi Qianxi ntioned it casually, if this information were to be disclosed, it would undoubtedly affect the stock price of Jinhai Industrial.
Therefore, no news had broadcast this ssage yet.
Obviously.
The Shi Family had chosen to keep it secret.
Shi Qianxi was not foolish; she knew hiding her own intentions of breaking off her engagent and taking the opportunity to extort Sun Xiyu revealed her cunning.
Even in front of Sun Xiyu, she never ntioned her parents’ divorce.
Yet, she blatantly told Jiang Chen.
“Then, my parents gave a portion of their shares.”
Miss Shi casually said, “My dad gave fifteen percent, my mom ten, a total of twenty-five percent.”
Jiang Chen was stunned.
Since getting to know this lady, he had looked up Jinhai Industrial.
Of course, he had only accessed the publicly available information online.
Jinhai Industrial was involved in many industries, including machinery manufacturing, electric energy, coal mining, textiles, food, transportation…
in short, it was a very large plate.
He wasn’t clear on how much wealth exactly twenty-five percent of the shares represented, but it was definitely a terrifying astronomical figure.
“Now, I’m the second largest shareholder of Jinhai, and I don’t know how much I’m worth, but it’s definitely in the tens of billions…”
It was fortunate that Jiang Chen had sent Luo Peng and Bai Zheli away earlier; otherwise, hearing Shi Qianxi’s words would have shattered their worldviews.
“What does this have to do with ?”
Jiang Chen steadied himself.
This was definitely a business secret.
It also ant that from now on, this woman was not just a capricious young miss but a walking vault.
The fact that she was even willing to tell him such a thing really made him feel like he wasn’t an outsider.
Jiang Chen didn’t feel touched; instead, he felt very uneasy.
Sotis, knowing too much is not a good thing at all.
“Of course, it’s related.”
Shi Qianxi said as a matter of course, “I want to break off my engagent with Sun Xiyu, so of course, I need to find a new partner, right?”
“Hold on!”
Jiang Chen’s eyelids twitched as he quickly cut her off.
“You’re going off-topic; didn’t we discuss a project?”
“This is the project I’m talking about.”
Shi Qianxi explained, “Think about it, I’ve inherited my parents’ shares, and I’m now the second largest shareholder of Jinhai.
Whoever marries , isn’t that like sharing this fortune with ?”
Her eyes were earnestly fixed on Jiang Chen.
“Don’t you think that’s an imnsely profitable deal?
No, not even ‘a capital’ is needed.”
Jiang Chen once again experienced the woman’s leap of imagination.
Suppressing the throbbing in his temples, he said, “You an to say, you want to marry you?”
“Uh-huh!”
Miss Shi nodded her head without any doubt.
“Shi Qianxi, have you lost your mind?!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help it anymore and raised his voice, “Can marriage be used as a transaction?
Plus, even if I marry you for money, would that make you happy?
I sincerely suggest you see a psychiatrist!”
Shi Qianxi didn’t get annoyed at all.
On the contrary, she leaned her elbow on the table, propped her chin with her hand, and looked at Jiang Chen with even more infatuated eyes.
“I know what kind of person you are; that’s why I ca to you.
Of course, I would never marry soone just for their money, but you’re not like that.”
Jiang Chen’s tone faltered.
Sotis, he had to admit this woman’s prowess.
She always had a way to infuriate soone, yet she could also prevent them from blowing up.
“Miss Shi, how long have we known each other?
Do you really understand ?
Besides, do we have a real emotional connection for you to ask to marry you?”
“No worries, my mom said feelings can be cultivated after marriage.”
If ng iling knew her daughter was using her words in this context, she would probably be so angry she might fall ill.
Jiang Chen felt helpless, not even having the energy to get angry.
“Your parents wouldn’t agree to it.”
“Who says they wouldn’t?”
Shi Qianxi was full of confidence.
“Right now, they don’t know about your background.
If they did, they would certainly not refuse.
When compared to Sun Xiyu, aren’t you overwhelmingly superior?
That coward can’t even afford 50 million without borrowing from friends.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen for a mont didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Not to ntion other things, just based on appearance…
It could only be said to be a narrow victory.
To say he overwheld would seem a bit exaggerated.
Jiang Chen cleared his throat, completely unaware that the other party’s few words had extinguished all his anger.
“But I don’t want to marry you.”
“Why?”
Miss Shi looked surprised.
Such a question, was there even a need to ask?
“You know, I’m not short of money, so I don’t need to sell my feelings for money.”
Not to ntion the more than ninety billion lying in the account.
Even if he was still dirt poor, he might consider it.
Of course.
If he really was dirt poor, a fine lady like Shi Qianxi would never have any interaction with his life, let alone the situation at hand.
“Miss Shi, there are so many young talents in the world, and as the second largest shareholder of Jinhai Industrial, you have countless options to choose from…”
Shi Qianxi didn’t wait for him to finish.
“How about this, I agree to let you continue keeping that cheap…
female student after we’re married, how about that?”
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
“I know n are all like that, but I will only allow this one.”
Truly born of a prestigious family.
Such magnanimity indeed.
Was she allowing her future husband to have a mistress?
Jiang Chen was truly taken aback, his eyes opened wide.
And really, don’t ntion it.
Such terms were indeed very tempting; Shi Qianxi herself was a bona fide beauty, plus now she’s a genuine lady of high society, and she even allows you to have a mistress.
To put it bluntly, if Sun Xiyu, no, Sun Xiyu knew about this, he would surely agree without a second thought!
But Jiang Chen sensed that it wasn’t so simple.
As expected.
He quickly noticed the cunning look in her eyes, which clearly showed she had ulterior motives.
“Miss Shi, what kind of man do you take for, even if you allow ten, it has nothing to do with .”
The tone.
It was full of righteous indignation.
When dealing with this woman, one must be cautious at all tis, despite her generous words, the situation might completely change once they’re married.
Her ex-boyfriend just went shopping with soone, and she had the guy run over by a car into the hospital; Sun Xiyu celebrated soone’s birthday, and she smashed a diamond worth over a hundred million.
Would a woman like this allow her man to keep a concubine?
If you really believed that, you might end up risking your life.
“Jiang Chen, I knew you were different from other n.”
Miss Shi’s eyes grew more infatuated.
“Alright, are you done talking?
If so, please go back, I need to keep my business going.”
Jiang Chen issued an order to leave, thinking whether he should coordinate with the security guard to prevent this woman from coming in again in the future.
But that seed impractical.
So many teachers and students co and go from East Sea University every day, the security guard couldn’t possibly keep track, and with this woman’s capability, as long as she wants to, she would always find a way to get in.
Now he started to worry that today she ca to the Angel Investnt Society, and next ti this woman might just show up directly in his dorm room.
“Jiang Chen, it’s okay if you don’t agree now, I will wait for you.
You haven’t graduated yet, no rush.
There will co a day when you will see things clearly, and we are the perfect match.”
You’re just a patient with delusions plus Stockholm syndro, who’s a perfect match with you?!
Jiang Chen had no energy to say more and waved his hand.
“Please, go now.”
Just then, Shi Qianxi’s phone rang.
“Mom.”
She answered the call nonchalantly.
“Yeah, I’m with Xi Yu, he’s out shopping with .”
“Why is it so quiet?
Of course, I’m in the store, didn’t you say you wanted to join Dad for the charity dinner in a couple of days?
I’m picking out a gown.”
Jiang Chen initially marveled at the woman’s ability to lie through her teeth, but then a thought struck him.
“Alright, I got it, can’t talk now, I’m going to try on clothes.”
After a while, Miss Shi hung up her phone, looking poised as ever, and noticed Jiang Chen staring at her.
“What are you looking at?”
Without teasing her about her blatant lies, Jiang Chen tentatively asked, “Are you going to a charity dinner?”
“Yeah, I don’t want to go at all, not interested, but my mom is forcing to, saying I should start attending such events more from now on, it’s so annoying.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered subtly and he asked in a calm manner, “The charity dinner, who will be attending?”
“People like my dad, so officials, as well as so social celebrities; basically, it’s just mutual flattery and opportunities for the dia to take pictures, quite hypocritical.”
“In such events, celebrities would also participate, right?”
“Of course, although these dinners are boring, they’re also good opportunities to boost fa and network.
Those actors wouldn’t miss it, though not many are qualified to attend.”
Shi Qianxi answered casually.
“Alright, I need to go shopping, I have to buy so things to take back, otherwise, I can’t explain myself.”
Shi Qianxi put on her sunglasses.
Explaining herself, surely ant fabricating more lies.
A charity dinner isn’t a clearance sale, so it shouldn’t happen too frequently.
And such high-profile ones should be few and far between.
Seeing that Shi Qianxi was already standing up, Jiang Chen cleared his throat and hastily spoke up with a slight embarrassnt.
“Wait a mont…”
