Chapter 2332: Chapter 1482: Extra Chapter for 500 Monthly Tickets! (Third Release)

"Don’t argue when everyone arrives."

A government-organized meeting with entrepreneurs is about to begin.

Every invitee is a business leader who is a top figure in their respective fields.

For example, the leader in new energy vehicles, Seagull founder Wang Shouye.

Chairman of Speed Group’s board, Niu Jili.

Of course.

Besides these well-known entrepreneurs, there are quite a few unfamiliar faces not known to the public.

Not being known by the public doesn’t mean no contribution.

On the contrary.

Real power has always been in the hands of the anonymous.

Just like—

The rulers of the entertainment industry have never been the countless popular celebrities and actors. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Those invited are all giants, indicating the high standards of this meeting. Facing the challenges of the era has never been the matter of either the government or the business community or the public alone; it requires joint efforts and collaboration hand in hand.

"Would I dare argue with him? He’s now a national pride, a national hero, a model of the era..."

"Alright."

Yang Qinghua, representing the government, smiled and interrupted, "One family doesn’t speak two languages, the past is past."

"One family?" Cao Jinse asked.

"I mean, you’re both Great Wall people."

The two now chatting together are stealing a moment of leisure, with about twenty minutes before the meeting officially starts.

"Today I represent Jiuding Group."

"Got it, got it. Oh, I forgot to congratulate you on your promotion."

"It hasn’t taken effect yet. It only becomes effective after the next board meeting passes it."

"Then it seems my congratulations aren’t late." Yang Qinghua smiled gracefully, amiable yet dignified, "With the promotion and raise, doesn’t it mean you should treat us to dinner?"

Cao Jinse responded with a smile, "There’s no problem treating, but does Qinghua have time?"

"Certainly not for others."

Yang Qinghua was concise.

The two women, shining brightly in their respective fields, exchanged smiles.

Actually, those high above the big entrepreneurs are not as arrogant as the public thinks. In the free time waiting to enter, they also sit in the hall chatting like normal people waiting for a movie to start, chatting and laughing.

After dealing with yet another energy giant CEO, Yang Qinghua glanced at the time, "Is he really intending to arrive on time?"

"If he’s late, will Qinghua keep him outside?"

Yang Qinghua answered without hesitation, "Of course. Punctuality is the most basic courtesy."

To describe such a grand occasion only as "courtesy"?

It’s already laying the groundwork for the other’s lateness.

"Then Qinghua must say something and keep to it."

Not long after Cao Jinse spoke, a familiar figure appeared in view.

Obviously possibly the youngest person present, yet upon appearance, he became the focal point.

Powers of the business world greeted him one after another, causing the short distance of tens of meters to take several minutes to traverse.

"I was just chatting with Jinse about whether you’d be late. I told her, if you were late, I definitely wouldn’t make exceptions."

While speaking, Yang Qinghua stood up, this being basic etiquette, and in such a situation, it should further recognize and respect the other’s status.

In contrast, Princess Cao seemed much more nonchalant, sitting motionless on the chair.

Oddly, she didn’t act this way when exchanging pleasantries with those entrepreneurs before.

"Just had a quick hairstyle touch-up."

The reply made Yang Qinghua involuntarily pause.

Though unsurprised, Princess Cao still unintentionally showed an expression of speechless disbelief.

"Indeed, it looks more handsome."

After a momentary daze, Yang Qinghua glanced at the really slick hairstyle of the other and nodded in praise.

"Yang Ting is flattering."

"Being so polite?" Yang Qinghua teased.

Someone replied earnestly, "During work, we must address by title."

Who is he poking at?

Shouldn’t be poking anyone.

As the two women conversed earlier, he hadn’t arrived yet.

"Alright, I need to go prepare, you two chat."

Yang Qinghua left with a smile, leaving the remaining ten minutes for the two young people.

Jiang Chen sat down casually, just barely settling in when he heard, "For such a meeting, do you still need to come personally? You could let Aunt Lan handle it."

Such a meeting?

Looking at the faces from all directions.

It’s clearly a summit of national business championship level.

Having been busy attending international meetings lately, Boss Jiang naturally understood her hidden implication.

"She’s just a minor shareholder and doesn’t represent the Great Wall."

With one simple sentence, he demonstrated what language artistry is.

Cao Jinse smiled, "Small or big, isn’t it all up to you?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "You can also have a say."

Triangles are stable in mathematical terms, but not suitable in the business field.

After Jinhai exited, Lan Peizhi’s shareholdings actually didn’t matter much; she swayed whichever side, that side could control the Great Wall.

"I have a say? She’s your person."

Hmm.

Princess Cao surely meant it literally and wasn’t speaking in double meanings.

Jiang Chen suddenly bent down, lifting his own trouser leg.

"What are you doing?"

Cao Jinse was caught off guard, not expecting this guy to be so unconcerned with appearance and occasion.

"See it?"

Cao Jinse instinctively looked at his exposed calf, finding a faint bruise.

"She hit me."

More accurately, it was with a rock, but no need to explain so thoroughly.

Jiang Chen let his trouser leg down.

Princess Cao’s lips moved, nearly spoke but paused, finally looking expressionless, she said.

"Serves you right."

The older you get, the more you realize those vanity-loving girls are actually cuter.

Because as long as you buy them a bag, a watch, or a car, they’ll become overjoyed, obedient to you, making you enjoy the treatment of an emperor.

Some, however, are different.

They won’t let you enjoy the emperor’s pleasures, but allow you to experience his troubles.

Of course.

Having known each other for so long, Jiang Chen surely knew her sharp tongue and soft heart; compared to the sweet-talking Japanese Demoness, he found Princess Cao much more endearing.

"Do you need first-hand intel?"

He suddenly asked.

Princess Cao was puzzled, side-eyeing, "What?"

Jiang Chen looked at the packed room, "I’ve been involved in the trilateral negotiations the entire time; this meeting convened by the government should also be to prepare for the possibly imminent trilateral free trade cooperation. You’ve heard about the tidal fish, right? So, do you need the intel?"

See.

Up till now, he hasn’t flaunted his efforts and contributions to her promotion and raise, even not mentioning a single word about this topic.

Cao Jinse remained silent.

The etiquette lady walked in.

Then slowly some people stood up.

It turns out the meeting is about to start.

Cao Jinse used the armrest to stand up and suddenly reached out, rubbing someone’s head vigorously, ruining his possibly specially styled classy hair.

"Today with so many older folks bald or hairless, this looks more fitting."

She explained and left.

Jiang Chen sat fixedly on the chair, finding it both amusing and annoying.
