"Do you want to woo me?"
It was an abrupt question.
Both of them were silent for a few seconds.
"What?!" Jiang Chen, who suddenly realized, almost fell off the sofa as he stared at Xia Shiyu, dumbfounded.
He didn't understand where this woman's logic was. How did she come to the conclusion that "I want to woo you"?
"The existence of a company is to generate profit. If you already have a revenue channel that can generate more than 100 million in half a year, why would you invest your hard-earned profits into a technology company with the highest risk?" Xia Shiyu paused and said faintly.
To be honest, although she was sometimes annoyed by his playful attitude, she didn't hate Jiang Chen in her heart. Or rather, she felt a feeling from Jiang Chen that she had never felt before.
Security? Relaxation? Maybe …
This feeling made her very confused.
To a certain extent, it was this inexplicable feeling that had caused him to blurt out those words …
She once suspected that Jiang Chen's purpose of creating this company was to provide for her with a reasonable reason.
[When did he start to like me?] [Did it start when we were in the clothing store?] [And I seem to have hurt him … Is it because of the pain I brought him that he transformed into the man he is now?]
Xia Shiyu was conflicted. She didn't like being a vase. She wanted to prove her strength through her own efforts and create her own value, rather than being kept as a plaything by the rich.
When she was in university, there were a lot of rich guys who pursued her. They even promised her to study at a famous company or even directly become an executive. But Xia Shiyu rejected all of them. She was arrogant, and she had the right to be arrogant. Although she was born ordinary, her ability was not ordinary.
Did this era only care about appearances? Of course, not all of them. At least most of them were working diligently.
However, in front of Jiang Chen, she didn't know why she hesitated.
She had already "guessed" that Jiang Chen established this company to "keep" her, and it wasn't because of any grand ideals. As to the grand blueprint, it was just a pie drawn out.
Because he owed her? It shouldn't be … because of something else? Xia Shiyu couldn't understand.
It had to be said that women were stubborn creatures. Once they recognized a point of view, they would selectively ignore all the factors that were not conducive to proving this point. For example, the value of the mobile game Jiang Chen brought, and was it ridiculous to invest one hundred million just for her? …
In short, she ignored all of these suspicious points.
"I don't understand. 100 million RMB, if you invest in real estate, with the current rate of return …"
"Because I want to see it from the top." Jiang Chen interrupted her with a smile.
Confused by this baffling answer, Xia Shiyu stared at Jiang Chen blankly.
"100 million? Hehe, compared to Future Technology's future market value, it was only a fraction. I made a lot of money, but being a miser didn't bring me the status I deserved. What's the use of keeping the money in the bank? More than a million a year in interest? It would take a few decades to double? As for whether it was for you or not? … Hehe, if I spent one hundred million, I could spend a few lifetimes with a prostitute. " Without avoiding vulgar words, Jiang Chen stood up and walked straight to the door, leaving behind Xia Shiyu, who was dumbfounded.
[Is that so? … If that's the case, then there's no problem …]
Staring blankly at the direction he left, she didn't know where he got the confidence to say such "sleep-talking", and she didn't understand why she still believed him.
[Is it not because of me?]
For some reason, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
…
Closing the door, Jiang Chen looked at the anti-theft door behind him with a bitter smile.
[Did I say too much?]
[But this girl … How good does she feel about herself to come to this conclusion?]
Jiang Chen shook his head, took a deep breath, and went downstairs.
However, what even he did not notice was that there was a moment when his heartbeat sped up …
…
The next morning, Jiang Chen took Ayesha to try the delicacies of Hua, soup dumplings. Looking at the girl wolfing down the food, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He suddenly thought of Sun Jiao. [How is she? What about Yao Yao? Is she feeling better?]
Thinking back to the apocalypse, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile as if he was thinking of something.
Ayesha peeked at the smile on Jiang Chen's face, and her heart felt warm.
[Should I go back and see them?] Jiang Chen, who was deep in thought, didn't notice the girl's gaze as he quietly stared at the white mist rising from the porridge.
After breakfast, Ayesha went alone to the Mandarin Crash Course for Foreigners in the Guang Mao Tower. Jiang Chen took a taxi to Xia Shiyu's building. He planned to go with her to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to deal with the capital injection.
Originally, Jiang Chen was a bit anxious, wondering if there would be any awkwardness between them because of what happened yesterday. Since he only vaguely explained yesterday and ran away. Mhmm, now that he thought about it, there was an element of running away.
But reality proved that he was overthinking. Xia Shiyu, as usual, didn't react much when she saw him. She just quietly got on the taxi and sat next to Jiang Chen.
"How did you sleep last night?" Jiang Chen didn't know how to start the conversation, so he asked casually.
Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and didn't respond. She just stuffed a document into Jiang Chen's arms.
"… There is a job fair next Wednesday at Wanghai University. I applied for a booth, and I hope you, as the president of the company, can come with me. "
"No problem, do you have time in the afternoon?" Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation and threw out another question.
"I'm free, why?"
"Show me the house." Jiang Chen shrugged and said shamelessly.
"… Is this business or personal?" Xia Shiyu sighed.
"Umm, you promised me … Mhmm, it should be personal."
Xia Shiyu looked at the side of Jiang Chen's face and unconsciously bit her lips.
The words of rejection were already in her throat, but she didn't say it. Why was it like this? Xia Shiyu didn't really understand.
…
Last night, Jiang Chen followed Robert's instructions to transfer one hundred million USD from his Swiss bank account to a domestic account. Of course, before it entered the domestic account, the money was converted to RMB based on the current exchange rate and after deducting a small amount of "fees."
It was an interesting channel, and the price was cheap. Robert promised that there would be no legal issues.
Jiang Chen looked at the string of zeros on the bank account on his phone and giggled at the screen for a while before he turned off the screen. He didn't pay attention to Xia Shiyu's curious gaze as he leaned against the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Should he drive a Lamborghini? Or a Bentley? What a dilemma …
Xia Shiyu was indeed a great worker. She was born to be a secretary, no, a CEO. Jiang Chen was the one to be a secretary. The word "do" could be pronounced with emphasis.
Xia Shiyu already prepared the paperwork last night and familiarized herself with the legal documents. Jiang Chen only scanned the document and signed it. The registered capital of Wanghai City Future Technology had an additional string of zeros.
Jiang Chen noticed that when he wrote one hundred million in the registration column, the eyes of the sales lady at the service window turned into stars.
This evil money society was really interesting to his mother.
He might have despised it before, but now he only wanted to laugh.
"One hundred million liquid capital … Unbelievable." Xia Shiyu's fingers trembled as she looked at the document in her hand. She still hadn't recovered from the shock.
Although she used to be a store manager and had seen the world, she was still too young.
"This is just the initial plan. I plan to make this mobile game into a world-class mobile game. With this plan, we won't be able to recoup our initial investment." Jiang Chen opened the door for Xia Shiyu like a gentleman and smiled.
"… I didn't think you didn't know anything." Xia Shiyu glanced at Jiang Chen, slightly surprised. She thought Jiang Chen planned to leave everything to her until the end.
For mobile games, the pursuit of short-term returns would squeeze the life out of the game. If they wanted to make it big, it was best not to consider profits or losses in the early stages.
"You have to understand the difference between an emperor and a general. You're responsible for fighting, and I'm only responsible for telling you where to fight. "Jiang Chen pretentiously shook his finger, causing Xia Shiyu to roll her eyes.
"I feel like I've been doing the work of a eunuch."
"Haha, that's your illusion. But speaking of which, you seem to be a lot more cheerful. You even know how to joke. "Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu with surprise.
"… Where to next? Mr. President. "Xia Shiyu inadvertently avoided the topic.
"Driver, go to Wanhua Real Estate, the one in the city center." Jiang Chen said to the taxi driver who looked at the two with a strange expression.
To buy a mansion, they would have to go to the headquarters. It was too shabby to stay in a hotel.
"…" Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen and didn't say anything as she silently followed his arrangement.
…
Wanhua Real Estate, the leading company in the real estate industry in Wanghai City, with a total market value of 132.7 billion, one of the top 500 companies in the world. The reason why Jiang Chen chose to buy from this real estate company was because he didn't understand the real estate industry and didn't know which real estate company had a mansion. But he heard the name Wanhua Real Estate a few times on the news, so he chose to buy here.
When he got off the taxi, a magnificent building appeared in front of him. The marble floor was covered with a clean and tidy red carpet. Ingenious carvings stood on both sides of the stairs. The combination of classic and modern luxury lingered on the entire building. Just looking at it was enough to make one flinch. Occasionally, people would pass by, but they would subconsciously avoid the bright red carpet.
It was like a palace, without a hint of familiarity.
Why was it designed this way? Because it was the effect they wanted.
It highlighted the nobility of the guests and made people stop.
Simply put, it was to prevent people who couldn't afford a mansion from thinking about coming here.
Ahem, to be honest, the second before he stepped on the red carpet, Jiang Chen was a bit hesitant to take another step. But then he thought, [I am a tycoon with a few hundred million USD. How can I not have this kind of attitude?] Thus, he swaggered over.
The boss of Wanhua Real Estate didn't know that in just a few seconds, he almost missed out on a business with a profit of tens of millions. Because of the damned decor …
This was the era of the nouveau riche.
Xia Shiyu, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression as she naturally followed behind Jiang Chen. It was not because Xia Shiyu was used to the upper-class atmosphere, but because she was not the one buying the house.
"Welcome, Miss and Sir." The two receptionists at the door bowed to Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu. Clean and neat cheongsam, with a ponytail behind her head, white forehead and delicate face. Even the receptionists were beautiful. It seemed that this real estate company was not just a normal tycoon.
The receptionist peeked at Jiang Chen with an odd expression. She clearly saw Jiang Chen get out of the taxi. After working for so many years, it was the first time she saw someone buy a house in a taxi. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
But even if she was confused, she still had to follow the etiquette. Wanhua Real Estate's rules were clear. If anyone dared to be rude to the customer based on their subjective judgment, even the manager would not be able to escape punishment. This was to prevent offending the tycoons who purposely dressed in ordinary clothes.
Needless to say, there were people who pretended to be pigs to eat tigers.
High standards matched with high salaries. This was the corporate culture of Wanhua Real Estate.
She was just a normal receptionist. Naturally, she wouldn't be so bored as to meddle in other people's business. Even if she suspected Jiang Chen was a bumpkin, it was the security's business. She didn't need to worry about it.
Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to the thoughts of these people as he walked into the lobby with his head held high. Xia Shiyu, who followed behind him, only glanced at the receptionist with her head lowered. She didn't say anything as she followed behind Jiang Chen.
Marble pillars and granite flooring. The giant crystal chandelier was as eye-catching as a diamond. The grand decor made Jiang Chen full of anticipation for the mansion he was about to purchase. To be able to renovate his headquarters to this level, the house he sold would not be too shabby.
The building itself was an excellent signboard.
But when he saw the front desk, he suddenly paused.
