Xiaopao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name might not grace the parlor rooms of high society, but he is indeed a leading director in the domestic scene, with a career spanning decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Jiao, I don’t deserve such praise, it’s all thanks to Director Felton’s recognition that I was given this opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi might have a light and distant personality but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand interpersonal relationships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are truly indifferent can never fit into the dye vat that is the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen rather appreciates this kind of character—maintaining her own identity while harmoniously coexisting with the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, Yun Xi, don’t be so modest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among domestic actresses, I’ve always had high hopes for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew that it was only a matter of time before you soared to great heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My judgment wasn’t wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You say Director Felton recognized you, that’s exactly it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are so many actresses in the country, why wouldn’t he recognize someone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi was very candid, glancing at Jiang Chen who was next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to General Jiang’s recommendation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some artists, though obviously supported by big names, are very wary of others mentioning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone as candid as she is rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Xiaopao’s gaze naturally shifted towards Jiang Chen’s face, which despite showing signs of aging, revealed a flattering smile unbecoming of a great director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Jiang, I’ve long admired your reputation, I am Jiao Xiaopao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his demeanor, it seemed as if he had come specifically for Jiang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wasn’t particularly fond of this director, Jiang Chen had indeed seen several of his movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a “billion-level talent” and a major financier, Jiang Chen was neither haughty nor arrogant but replied with a calm smile, “What have you been working on recently, Director Jiao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like it’s been a while since your last work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Pei Yunxi couldn’t help but glance at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so long, his skill at social pleasantries had become increasingly polished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this sound like something someone would say at a first meeting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the most effective way to close the distance with someone is not to treat them as a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, hearing this, Jiao Xiaopao’s eyes lit up, his smile blooming like a flower, nearly bringing out the creases in his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m honored that General Jiang has followed my work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I haven’t produced much in recent years, simply because the scripts have been terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a good script, how can you shoot a good story?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t, just for the sake of making money, shoot a pile of crap and feed it to the audience like they do, against my conscience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi did not react unusually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor was Jiang Chen surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director’s personality had already been fully exposed by the media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it nicely, he was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it not so nicely, he was somewhat coarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, a bit arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just listening to his words, it was clear that they had an implied meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen did not pick up the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the domestic film industry, he was actually quite disappointed, as it was indeed possible to go an entire year without finding many good films worth watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But times have changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, in his dorm room at Dong University, as a student, he could indeed join Luo Peng in unrestrainedly cursing the money-grubbing film circles, but standing in his current position, he could no longer express his feelings so freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different statuses carry different restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, ordinary people are actually the “freest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Chen smile without a word, the blunt Jiao Xiaopao toned it down a bit, the topic changed, “In recent years, I have spent my time looking for scripts, and currently, I have accumulated a few good ones, just waiting for an insightful investor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intentions were clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tell the truth, Jiang Chen didn’t mind contributing to the domestic film industry as reaching high allows for wide-ranging benefits, but it couldn’t be done so rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, Director Jiao, if you really think your scripts are good, we can talk about it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Xiaopao immediately excitedly reached into his pocket and offered both hands, “General Jiang, here is my business card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the integrity of an artist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen politely took it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Xiaopao thought the other party would exchange contact information, but Jiang Chen didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Jiao, you can directly contact Yun Xi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiao Xiaopao was reassured, as someone like him who was well-versed in certain rules of the circle showed no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Zaide, who had made an appearance and given face, left the scene early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a business leader like him, it was impossible to stay here for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, he looked in Jiang Chen’s direction and saw Jiao Xiaopao getting cozy with him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the hotel, the bodyguard opened the car door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Zaide settled into his custom-made bulletproof car worth nearly a hundred million, “Phone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An assistant passed the phone to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulletproof car started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Zaide made a call, picked up the phone, and held it to his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone rang several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song, I just saw that young man at the hotel’s release event.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of release event?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thomas Felton’s newly filmed movie, with Pei Yunxi as the leading lady, and the Oscar-winning actor Adrian as the male lead, invested with several billion US Dollars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly a charming youth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side chuckled and immediately asked, “How is the situation with you and Great Wall now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hippo no longer needs to rely on lending services for profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Great Wall wants to push interest rates down, Hippo might as well join in doing some good deeds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Zaide did not respond, yet it seemed as if he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, Great Wall has the backing of Jiuding; don’t take them lightly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Bian Zaide smiled, his short stature radiating an air of invincible pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Wall is ultimately not a subsidiary of Jiuding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brief and concise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, in business, competition is inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being afraid is useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the lines, it seemed like even if Jiuding entered the fray, there would be nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that also fit his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This business leader’s existence almost took the adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” to its utmost extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his forties, he was still working for others, earning a salary just sufficient to scrape by in a first-tier city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After facing a mid-career crisis and being laid off by his company, he resolutely chose entrepreneurship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took ten years to build from nothing, establishing the world-famous Hippo Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courage of such a person is imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you are so confident, then I have nothing to worry about…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side wanted to say something more, but another phone call came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me take this call.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What phone call could be more important than Bian Zaide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything has been arranged for Young Master Song, that woman’s family is preparing to leave the country, and no one will uncover the issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the release event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Jiao Xiaopao, numerous others were incessantly coming up to greet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall I take you upstairs to rest first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let Director Felton and the others handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was quite the gentleman, knowing how to treat women with tender care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the hotel rooms reserved by the movie crew were just upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it necessary for him to escort her again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi, who had once been forthright, nodded indifferently, “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, with an air of integrity, “Then let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, she’ll stay here for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Taoist nun sister would probably not tattle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left the event and took the elevator upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi inevitably drank some champagne, but she always took just a sip, far from drunk, and not even slightly tipsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the confined space, the fragrance mixed with a faint scent of alcohol, creating an atmosphere that involuntarily heated up one’s body temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen stared unwaveringly at the jumping floor indicator lights, embodying the gentleman to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi also remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen waited for her to step out first before following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Pei Yunxi stopped, turned around, and pressed the button to hold the closing doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, you can go back down now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t keep your sister waiting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did this mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So guarded against him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, whose heart was free of distractions, wanted to laugh, but couldn’t, resulting in a somewhat stiff expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to come in and sit for a bit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi seemed to remember her manners at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at such a time, how could Jiang Chen accept?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would not befit a gentleman’s character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, you should rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even knowing her room number, he returned the way he came, stepped back into the elevator, and pressed the button to close the doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator doors closed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in an off-shoulder evening gown, the untouchable Pei Yunxi pursed her lips in a smile, then raised her hand and gave a gentle wave.\u003C\u002Fp>",1611,"2026-05-30T15:07:40.882Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","b71e6b666bec2621878c7154763499800362618f7cf7687e0192865f2e7228f2","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-1074","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-1072",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
