campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man and woman walked side by side, drawing considerable attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passersby couldn’t help but glance their way, whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She said she needs to think about it a bit more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to be too anxious, since she said she will consider it, there is a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru comforted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen smiled, looking at the girl who was now completely his, “Why did you suddenly decide to join Tianci?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t want me to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m just afraid you might find it tiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tianci is just starting out, it will definitely get busier in the future…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen hadn’t finished speaking when Li Shuru interrupted him, then she smiled cutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learning more things is never a bad idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it really doesn’t work out, I can always go back and teach dance with Jin Jin and the others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You make it sound so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think this is a marketplace where you can come and go as you please?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you’re in, there’s no turning back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you running a company or a black shop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was about to continue jesting, but his phone suddenly chimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took it out to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a message from Pei Yunxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I would like to speak face-to-face with Ms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised, in fact, he had anticipated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in Pei Yunxi’s eyes, he was probably just Shi Qianxi’s “spokesperson,” and his words weren’t very reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied quickly, feeling reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Pei Yunxi wanted to discuss with Shi Qianxi in person, it indicated she was tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she agreed to sign, it would be like she had willingly walked into the trap and couldn’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming his employee, wouldn’t he have plenty of opportunities to win her over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhenhua’s persistent pursuit accidentally pushed this mermaid into his net with no other choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a matter of timing and fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen put his phone back into his pocket, in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru could tell he was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pei Yunxi is likely to agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Jiang Chen did feel a bit guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Shuru knew his real intentions, he wondered if she would want to kill him with a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Pei Yunxi as beautiful in person as she is on screen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gossip was in a woman’s nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone would be curious in such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could never guess Jiang Chen’s wolfish ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, she might suspect something about Luo Li’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen replied ambiguously, “In the future, you should have the chance to meet her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru just took it to mean she would meet Pei Yunxi due to entering Tianci Capital and Pei Yunxi possibly agreeing to the endorsement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence she didn’t think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, this weekend then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can decide on the place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianxi walked out of the building with her phone and headed to the parking lot in front, where she ran into that security guard once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing her, the guard who almost got fired straightened up instinctively, puffing out his chest and standing upright as if about to salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi didn’t trouble him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at him and got into the car without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AMG quickly left the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the relieved security guard, in the tide of people leaving the building after work, there was another person staring intently at the departing AMG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Chen Zhou, the “gloriously promoted” secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, that’s not entirely correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, to be precise, he should be called Deputy Director Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such was life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you didn’t have the power to resist, you could only grit your teeth and endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Chen Zhou was reluctant deep down, he ultimately lacked the courage to resign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the administrative department was truly a dead-end place with no prospects, it had already become a dream job for countless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi had a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A director under thirty was not common nationwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had the choice, he would certainly leave with dignity, but he didn’t have the confidence to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure he could find a better job after leaving Jin Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Chen, what are you looking at?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A laughter sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou quickly composed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he also showed a polite smile and greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Qiu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one brimming with enthusiasm as he approached was a manager from the Marketing Department, named Qiu Zhaobin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no doubt that in terms of rank, he was lower than him, but in terms of actual power, he actually had more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why he felt so humiliated and even angry about this job transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Chen, you’ve been working so hard following the chairman, and now you’ve finally got some downtime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on, let’s have a drink?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party extended an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, Chen Zhou would surely suspect the other had ulterior motives and was deliberately trying to cozy up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of consideration for his own reputation, he would absolutely not accept such an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he had been “exiled,” even if someone did have an agenda, they probably wouldn’t waste their efforts on a “useless person” like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed feeling very depressed right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know a Japanese restaurant that’s quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go, Director Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Qiu Zhaobin was referring to as a Japanese restaurant was actually more accurately a tavern, where guests had to don geta as those well-to-do people in Dongying did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The establishment featured several private compartments, similar to the private rooms in a Chinese restaurant, where guests sat around low tables on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming from a sales background, Qiu Zhaobin was naturally skilled at building relationships, and with a few glasses of sake inside him, the melancholic Chen Zhou’s vigilance and guard gradually began to dissolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Chen, I really didn’t see your transfer to the Administration Department coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought the chairman would keep you by his side for another two or three years, and then you’d lead us in the Marketing Department.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhaobin seemed to be speaking from the heart, sympathizing with Chen Zhou, and his seemingly sincere words precisely stabbed at the sore spot in Chen Zhou’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This former executive secretary was supposed to be a very disciplined person, probably not much of a drinker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, having downed two glasses of sake, his face was flushed red, and when stimulated by Qiu Zhaobin’s comments, his involuntarily contorted face took on a beast-like quality, making him – normally a rather upright man within the corporation – appear somewhat fierce and threatening!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone an outsider like Qiu Zhaobin, hadn’t he thought the same way himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget about a key department like Marketing – with his hard work and toil, shouldn’t he at least have been given what’s due, perhaps appointed to a crucial function like the Operations or Strategy Department?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most hopeless Administration Department!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou grabbed his drink and gulped down the remaining half in one go, breathing heavily, his heart twisting like a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhaobin, skilled at reading the room, quickly refilled his glass for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Chen, it’s not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, you’re still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that’s why Director Shi sent you to the Administration Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably wants you to gain some experience there, and surely has other significant plans for you in the future…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou, his breath reeking of alcohol, spat, “I’ve climbed as high as I can at Jin Hai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhaobin didn’t seem offended by his rudeness and appeared to understand his feelings, consoling him, “Director Chen, you mustn’t think like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many people nationwide have reached your position at your age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar phrases acted like a catalyst, completely igniting the resentment boiling inside Chen Zhou, and he couldn’t stop himself from grinding his teeth as he thought again about the cold-heartedness and ruthlessness of Shi Qianxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, we’re nothing but dogs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you’re useful, they give you a smile, and when you’re not, they kick you aside without a second glance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps feeling that his words were too rebellious, Qiu Zhaobin lowered his voice and hastily reminded him, “Director Chen, please, be careful what you say…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do I have to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the truth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou’s voice grew louder, and in his agitation, he even began waving his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a son-in-law on a leash, what’s so great about that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the soundproofing here seemed quite good as there wasn’t any disturbance from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhaobin hastily grabbed him, “Director Chen, let’s eat something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat what!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drink up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t go home until I’m drunk today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou raised his glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, another bottle of sake was emptied by the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the sake?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bring more sake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou picked up the empty bottle and called out loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The compartment door slid open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, you’re drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shouldn’t drink anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman who came in was dressed in a kimono, with white socks and geta clogs, her hair swept up high and adorned with a hairpin, and a red mole painted at the center of her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her makeup resembled that of an ancient Dongying geisha – very white, very seductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bring the sake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou, unable to bear the heat, pulled at his collar, his seat hardly steady, swaying slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kimono-clad waitress, quick to react, immediately stepped forward to steady him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he leaned forward, Chen Zhou’s gaze caught sight of the trembling pale flesh within the kimono’s crossed neckline through the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhou’s eyes fixated, and he couldn’t help but swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him seated more steadily, the seductively made-up waitress promptly let go of her steadying hand, stepped back, and respectfully crouched down a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, you really can’t drink any more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the host here, how can you refuse a customer more drink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, do you think I don’t have the money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me tell you, I am the Administrative Director of Jin Hai Industries, and I have plenty of money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chen Zhou pulled out his wallet and threw all the cash inside at the kimono-clad woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring the sake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money fluttered…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the dim light, the colorful notes floated and spun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, bring another bottle,” Qiu Zhaobin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, the waitress left the room to bring another bottle of sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she placed the bottle down and turned to leave, Chen Zhou’s eyes remained fixed on her retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Chen, how about we have her stay and serve us?” Qiu Zhaobin asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his consciousness already cloudy, all Chen Zhou could think about was that jiggling white flesh, and he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a second.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his cues, Qiu Zhaobin immediately called out to the seductive waitress as she was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here, have a few drinks with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t, sir…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress turned back, her weak refusal inciting an urge to ravage her without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just drinking, what’s the problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhaobin stood up, approached her, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and with the other, pulled the door closed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1943,"2026-05-30T15:07:10.633Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","0cd1684bf825150a8b05c99d6e4cbaf4c0a33b802d9852547922bac16a1ea87e","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-292","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-290",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
