I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

"CEO Cao, the afternoon meeting has been postponed."

"What? Postponed again? How many times has this happened already?"

"Yes, the longer it's delayed, the more nuclear waste is discharged into the sea. How long do they plan to drag this out? At least give us a definite conclusion!"

Murmurs filled the room.

The high-level executives of Jiuding, who had been discussing how to address the afternoon meeting, all looked displeased and anxious.

"Postponed to when?"

When Cao Jinse spoke, the powerful figures in the room all fell silent.

"The information from Yingdong Electric Power is that the date is to be decided."

Yan Guangyi responded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the presidential suite that was serving as a temporary conference center became animated once again.

"To be decided? What does that even mean?"

"Does it mean they're planning to just drag it on like this?"

"These Dongying people are truly despicable. CEO Cao, I suggest we immediately take necessary measures and impose sanctions on related Dongying industries in Shenzhou."

If anyone else said this, it might seem like reckless talk, but Jiuding definitely has the capability to do so.

Dongying is your stronghold; you can trample over rules and act wantonly, but when the setting changes, you can't blame others for treating you the same way.

"What about Feng Shi?"

Compared to others, Cao Jinse didn't seem overly agitated.

Feng Shi.

Neither flashy nor flamboyant.

It certainly isn't as renowned as Goldman Sachs or Morgan, but like the wealth rankings, the true giants never surface.

Aside from Dongying's domestic strength, in the shareholding structure of Yingdong Electric Power, Feng Shi takes the lead among foreign investors, significantly surpassing Jiuding's share proportion.

"It's said the postponement was proposed by Feng Shi."

Upon hearing this, Jiuding executives in the room suddenly became silent, looking at each other in confusion.

If Feng Shi stands with the Dongying people, relying on their own strength alone, it would be impossible to turn the tide.

But the problem is…

"Isn't Feng Shi also against the nuclear waste discharge plan? Why would they do this?"

"What exactly does Feng Shi want to do?"

Feng Shi's actions were indeed unpredictable, leaving people baffled.

"I believe Feng Shi is indeed against the nuclear waste discharge plan, but compared to stopping the discharge, capitalizing on our strategic importance should be prioritized by Feng Shi, so dealing with the nuclear sewage problem can be temporarily shelved."

Yan Guangyi calmly analyzed.

Those present were business magnates who naturally understood the coldness and harshness of the marketplace.

"If it wants it, then give it. It's a quagmire. CEO Cao, I suggest we pull out as soon as possible, even if it means paying some price."

Under the eaves.

Sometimes you have to swallow a bitter pill.

After all, there will always be opportunities to reclaim losses at your own venue.

The current international situation is highly volatile, far from the time when globalization was highly promoted.

If you make things difficult for me, why should I make things easy for you?

This principle of reciprocity is a fine tradition of Shenzhou.

However, there's another saying.

If you destroy a grain of mine, I'll take three buckets!

Some executives were already planning how to retaliate upon returning.

"I understand everyone's feelings. But Jiuding is not our private company; Jiuding represents the people's interests of Shenzhou."

Cao Jinse stated authoritatively, "Continue to engage proactively with other buyers. Since Feng Shi wants to wait, we will wait as well."

On the same floor.

In another room.

Mao Tu looked eagerly at someone, asking curiously, "Jiang Chen, how much did you spend?"

Last night's fireworks were truly stunning.

It's the first time she'd ever seen such a spectacle in her life.

"Guess."

"At least tens of millions, right?"

The wealthy Jiang Chen laughed.

Some bosses spend more on firecrackers when they honor their ancestors at home, don't they?

"Yeah. Pretty much."

On the balcony, Jiang Chen nodded casually and continued to lift the barbell.

No need to explain much.

He didn't like flaunting his wealth.

Besides, Mao Tu couldn't possibly reimburse him; even if she wanted to, she didn't have the means. Just last night, when the Taoist nun sister returned, she even ordered a late-night snack.

Moreover.

Covering an entire city in fireworks, especially in a metropolis like Tokyo, can't be achieved solely with money to ignite the entire night sky.

"Not bad, didn't disappoint me."

Mao Tu displayed an air of wisdom and satisfaction.

Her intentions were pure: she just wanted the lady to relax a bit and be happy. She didn't have the capability, but this guy apparently managed to do it for her.

When the lady returned last night, even the air around her seemed sweet.

After speaking, she glared, "You didn't take advantage of the miss, did you?"

Jiang Chen paused, then exhaled as he lifted the barbell, "You should be worried whether your miss will take advantage of me."

"..."

"..."

Truly shameless!

Even Tanki Liuli, who was watching TV intently, glanced at him.

Mao Tu vividly clutched her chest and made a retching sound.

Actually, Jiang Chen wasn't particularly overconfident, especially since he was just taken advantage of by Koda Kaoru not long ago, and Taoist Duanmu was a witness.

However, Cao Jinse wasn't Koda Kaoru.

How could one expect someone who's never even dated to take the initiative?

As for himself, last night's situation was indeed a perfect opportunity to elevate revolutionary friendship, yet adhering to moral standards, he reluctantly let the once-in-a-lifetime chance slip through his fingers, not even trying to make a move.

No substantial rewards, but spending such great effort did earn some emotional satisfaction.

Women love surprises and romance.

It's unrelated to strength.

A unique grand fireworks show boosted his favorability rating by two percent!

That's right.

Increased by a full two points!

The favorability rating reached 88.

One more "fireworks" show, and the mission's completed.

Of course.

This is just idealistic thinking.

Just like the thrill of receiving flowers, it's always the strongest the first time.

"If you dare make a move on the miss, I'll deal with you."

Finally, a change in script.

Taoist Duanmu was playing dumb, that Jiang Chen now understood, but with Mao Tu, he truly couldn't tell if she was genuinely naive.

Whether he had "improper thoughts" about Cao Jinse was as clear as Sima Zhao's intention by now, wasn't it?

Even Cao Jinse herself might have noticed.

"In the future, when we go out to eat, you better not foot the bill, let her do it."

Jiang Chen put down the barbell.

Mao Tu's face turned red with embarrassment; she glanced at the wronged Tanki Liuli and huffed, "I didn't even eat!"

"Your miss doesn't pay you wages?"

Jiang Chen walked into the main hall, wiped his sweat with a towel, intending to take a shower when the phone rang.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, "Phone."

Mao Tu obediently picked up the phone from the coffee table and tossed it over.

Friendships grow through interaction; there's truth to that saying.

After glancing at the caller ID, Jiang Chen's eyes flickered, but he didn't stop and entered the side bedroom, closing the door.

"Where's the data?"

"Where's the money?"

"Let me see the data first."

"No, money first."

Seems they've gotten smarter.

"This time, I'll guarantee with my character."

Boss Jiang's character holds significant weight in front of many, but it clearly wasn't enough for Vera on the other end of the line.

"Then let's meet in person."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

Meet in person?

"I'm in Tokyo now, come to the airport."

"..."
