“Shu Rui, how co you haven’t seen you for a few days, and your skin has beco so good?”
The campus of East University.
Zheng Jingjing walked alongside her, staring intently at her best friend’s face.
“Was my skin not good before?”
Li Shuru deliberately countered.
“No.”
Zheng Jingjing quickly shook her head, still staring at her best friend’s face without blinking.
“Your skin was good before, but now it’s not as…
smooth and moisturized as it is now, did you change your skincare product?
Which brand?
I want to try it too.”
The speaker had no intention; the listener took it to heart.
Li Shuru’s eyes slightly dodged.
Where was it the effect of any skincare products,
It’s not that she overvalued herself; it’s just that she really couldn’t honestly disclose the truth.
You can’t really say that you would find out if you had an aerobic exercise with a man, right?
“Maybe it’s because I went back ho, the water and soil at ho are more nurturing.”
“Is it.”
Zheng Jingjing was a bit skeptical, then glanced at her good sister’s chest.
The logic of hotown water and soil nurturing people could be passable, but…
“But why does it seem like even your breasts and butt have also gotten a size bigger?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Li Shuru imdiately said.
“I’m not talking nonsense, Si Yi and the others also think the sa.”
As she spoke, Zheng Jingjing, like verifying, swiftly grabbed at Li Shuru’s butt.
“What are you doing?!”
Startled, Li Shuru quickly stepped aside.
“Tsk, Shu Rui, if I were a man, I would definitely be crazy about you.
Too bad, so guy’s going to get lucky.”
Zheng Jingjing purposefully squeezed that hand and sighed with a deep aning.
Between sisters, talking about lewd jokes is common.
Even sotis, the conversations between won, behind closed doors, are often more unrestrained and bold than n’s.
But since she had just secretly tasted the forbidden fruit, Li Shuru inevitably felt a bit guilty and scolded, “It’s not even spring yet, and you’re already getting frisky?
If you want a man, I can introduce you to soone, Luo Peng is not bad.”
“Luo Peng?
Forget it!”
Beauty Zheng curled her lips, “He has no other skills, but his greatest talent is bragging.”
Li Shuru hesitated for a mont.
Jokes aside.
Everyone could see Luo Peng’s conditions; the only downside might be that he’s a bit of a playboy.
But then again, are there any n who are completely honest?
“…Jin Jin, Luo Peng is now the CEO of Tianci Capital.
You may think that Tianci Capital is just starting out, but let tell you, its future is limitless.
If your life’s dream is really to be a wealthy wife, Luo Peng is an excellent choice.”
Zheng Jingjing paused in her steps.
“Shu Rui, are you really that confident about Tianci Capital?”
“I believe in Jiang Chen.”
Li Shuru sounded like a woman muddled by love, “Jin Jin, you might think Luo Peng is frivolous now, but once Tianci Capital grows, he will …”
Li Shuru stopped.
“Are you trying to say that, in the future, he’ll be out of my league?”
Zheng Jingjing picked up the conversation.
She didn’t refute again.
Judging by Jiang Chen’s current demonstration of wealth, it’s already unfathomable.
As the saying goes, when one man gains power, even his pets rise to heaven.
As roommates, Luo Peng is likely not far behind when following him.
Plus, Luo Peng himself cos from a well-off family.
“But he doesn’t like , though.”
Zheng Jingjing sighed.
“Feelings need to be nurtured.
You insult him every ti you see him; if I were Luo Peng, I’d definitely avoid you too.”
“No, wait, Shu Rui, why are you suddenly trying to set up with him?”
Zheng Jingjing suddenly sensed sothing odd.
Sisters are sisters, but Li Shuru never used to ddle in their relationship issues.
This was the first ti.
“I’m just giving you a reminder, whether you listen or not is up to you.”
No longer is she an art student who deftly sidesteps heavy issues.
As before.
She definitely wouldn’t have “poked her nose into others’ business,” but now the situation was different.
Having set her heart on Jiang Chen and unreservedly committing herself to him, she had to start considering so issues.
She was never a naïve and sweet girl.
She was very clear that she wasn’t particularly outstanding; aside from a pretty face, she could say she had nothing else special.
At the sa ti.
She could also clearly see what lay ahead for her in the future.
Of course.
She didn’t think Jiang Chen was the type to love ’em and leave ’em, but she couldn’t afford to rest easy with that thought.
Both in reality and on television, there were far too many stark examples.
Li Shuru didn’t want to end up just a trophy wife stored away.
If Zheng Jingjing could end up with Luo Peng, it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to her.
As they talked, the two arrived at the Angel Investnt Club.
Zheng Jingjing stepped in, “Luo Peng, where’s Jiang Chen?”
Luo Peng, who had been chatting with Bai Zheli and Li Shao, turned his head, about to retort, then held back when he saw Li Shuru was also there.
“He went to et with the developers of the virtual love ga.”
Bai Zheli moved chairs for the two girls.
“Why do you always let the boss do everything?
What kind of CEO are you?”
Perhaps it was a clash of character; no sooner had they t than they couldn’t help but bicker.
However, Luo Peng wasn’t nitpicking with her today.
He had just discussed the developnt history of Hillhouse Capital with Bai Zheli and Li Shao, and as a man who had resolved to vie with Zhang Lei, he needed to have perspective.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”
He brushed off Zheng Jingjing with an indifferent response, but when he faced Li Shuru, his expression changed to a warm smile.
“Junior Sister Li, Jiang Chen should be back soon, just wait a little longer.”
Feeling unbalanced, Zheng Jingjing couldn’t stand his obsequious face and scoffed, “He’s just a nobody without any real power, what’s there to be proud of?”
Luo Peng didn’t get angry.
On the contrary, he smiled mysteriously before saying sothing profound.
“The peach and plum do not have to talk, yet a path is ford beneath them.”
“What did you say?”
Zheng Jingjing of course didn’t understand.
“I’m talking about Zhang Lei’s investnt philosophy.”
Although Zheng Jingjing wasn’t an economics student, she had inevitably heard of the famous Zhang Lei.
The VC of Sequoia and the PE of Hillhouse Capital are the most dazzling twin stars in the Shenzhou capital market, almost a household na dostically.
“You want to follow in Zhang Lei’s footsteps, huh?
Well, Hillhouse Capital holds sixty billion US dollars and is the largest private equity firm in Asia.
You’re really daydreaming, not knowing the imnsity of heaven and earth!”
Luo Peng was unconcerned and teased, “Wow, not bad, knowing so much.
You have more insight than I imagined.”
Zheng Jingjing glared at him.
Li Shuru just shook her head and chuckled.
Bai Zheli and Li Shao remained silent spectators, enjoying the show.
“Big beauty Zheng, let tell you, I don’t just intend to learn from Zhang Lei, I aim to surpass him!”
Zheng Jingjing thought he was boastful, and it wasn’t slander to say so.
Luo Peng spoke earnestly and eloquently, “Rember what I say today, I, Luo Peng, will one day beco a leader in the dostic financial sector.
Tianci Capital will definitely defeat those outsiders and beco the top capital behemoth dostically!”
His words resonated powerfully.
Zheng Jingjing was stunned, then looked at Bai Zheli and Li Shao, extended her slender finger towards Luo Peng with an air of concern for the ntally ill,
“Is he sick?
If he is, while there’s still ti, quickly take him for treatnt, don’t delay.”
Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses, struggling to hold back laughter, his face turning red.
Li Shao cleared his throat, the corners of his mouth twitching involuntarily.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Luo Peng, however, was as casual as if nothing had happened, leaning back and shrugging nonchalantly, “You should cherish the opportunity to communicate with now.
Later on, you might need to make an appointnt to see .”
Zheng Jingjing couldn’t help but glance at Li Shuru, aning, is this the guy you wanted to set up with?
Li Shuru began to understand where Luo Peng’s confidence ca from.
Zheng Jingjing might not know, but that didn’t an she was clueless.
If Pei Yunxi agreed to endorse the product, relying on her imnse popularity, the virtual dating ga was bound to be an instant hit.
Even if it didn’t skyrocket, at the very least, it ant that Tianci Capital was officially on its way.
And when Jiang Chen spoke, his words almost always ca true.
If he said that he would get Pei Yunxi as the endorser, then the matter was almost certainly assured, no matter how unbelievable it might seem.
“You guys will probably be even busier soon.
If you’re short of hands, you can call on .”
Li Shuru suddenly said.
Zheng Jingjing was baffled, not understanding at all, but Luo Peng and the others could sense the underlying aning.
“Junior Sister Li, look at you, if you really want to join, I would even give up my position as CEO for you,” Luo Peng said magnanimously.
Zheng Jingjing rolled her eyes at him.
It’s not like the entire company had more than a handful of people.
As if anyone was eager to take on that.
“What about giving up your seat?”
Jiang Chen had walked in.
“Junior Sister Li said she wanted to help out, and I ntioned giving up my position for her, offering to be her assistant,” Luo Peng explained to the entering Jiang Chen with a smile.
Brotherly love aside, in this instance, one must be discerning.
Moreover.
Tianci Capital was almost entirely established by Jiang Chen’s own funds.
“Are you interested in doing business?”
Jiang Chen looked at Li Shuru with so surprise.
After all, a girl like Li Shuru seed destined for a pampered life of luxury, where a daily shopping spree would be more than enough.
No, that’s not right.
She should be called a woman now.
Li Shuru didn’t evade the question, nodding her head lightly, “I want to give it a try.”
“Shu Rui, have you gone crazy?
You’re not going to stick with us at the dance studio and you actually want to…”
Zheng Jingjing was dumbfounded.
Li Shuru offered no explanation.
Looking at her earnest expression, Jiang Chen pondered for a mont before making a grand gesture.
“Alright, if you’re really interested, co be the COO.
If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Xiao Bai for guidance.
He’s like a walking encyclopedia.”
This is what nepotism looked like.
Li Shuru smiled slightly at Bai Zheli.
Although their academic positions differed by one level, Bai Zheli who had skipped grades in junior and senior high school wasn’t necessarily older than her.
Bai Zheli hurriedly returned the smile to Li Shuru, looking sowhat awkward.
“What’s a COO?”
Zheng Jingjing asked, puzzled.
“Chief Operating Officer.”
Luo Peng explained without holding a grudge, then glanced at the increasingly graceful beauty of the art college.
The sa age.
And they even shared a dormitory.
So why was the gap between them so vast?
Look at her, so smart.
And then.
He sighed to himself.
His CEO position might not be so easy to hold onto after all.
