I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

"Drip, drip..."

Like the sound of rain tapping against a window.

Boss Jiang really did go to the restroom this time.

Going to the restroom twice in half an hour is too frequent, going once should be perfectly fine, right?

In front of the washbasin, he bent over, splashed some water on his face, and looked at himself in the mirror, slowly wiping away the water droplets.

The more tense the situation, the more he needed to stay calm.

Everyone understands this in theory, but being tied up, he couldn’t even carve out time to think of a strategy!

And this is just with two people.

Those true masters of time management juggle double digits with ease and grace all the time.

How do they manage it?

Truly.

These prodigies emerge so often.

Not having the luxury to admire those amazing people, Jiang Chen knew he had to hurry back to his seat. He shook his hands dry and swiftly walked to Shi Qianxi’s table, racing against time to think of a way to break the deadlock.

If it really doesn’t work out,

he’d have to let Shi Qianxi go to the room first and wait for him.

As for how to survive the long night ahead, that could be dealt with later.

Choose the lesser of two evils.

In comparison, Fujiwara Reiki was easier to handle than Shi Qianxi. More "obedient." It would be easier to send Shi Qianxi back to her room and then send Fujiwara Reiki away.

Alright.

That’s what I’ll do!

With this plan in mind, Jiang Chen walked decisively, but life is colorful because it doesn’t follow a fixed script. Surprises often catch you off guard.

The distance gradually closed.

As Jiang Chen, with traces of water still on his face, looked towards Shi Qianxi’s table, his steps suddenly halted as his pupils trembled violently.

For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.

What did he see?

Fujiwara Reiki, who should have been waiting for him, was incredibly sitting there next to Shi Qianxi.

The two women were talking.

Not an illusion.

They really met.

Well, that’s convenient.

No more running back and forth.

Sensing something, Fujiwara Reiki, who was chatting with Shi Qianxi, turned her head and saw Boss Jiang standing not far away.

Her eyes were calm, and she smiled slightly.

Jiang Chen, wearing no expression, clenched his jaw and continued walking.

"What a coincidence, I didn’t expect Director Shi to be here tonight as well."

When Jiang Chen approached the table, there was no need for him to urgently assess the current situation as Fujiwara Reiki, who had switched places, spoke with a smile.

Still lacking experience.

Even though she didn’t say a word about it, someone’s flawed Shadow Clone Technique was clearly easily seen through.

Really taking a woman for a mindless NPC.

Even though someone seemed calm on the surface, a mental storm was brewing within. He glanced at Shi Qianxi, who showed no signs of unease, and responded, "You know each other?"

"Jinhai Industry, as a leading private enterprise in Shen Zhou, is well-known in Japanese circles. I just didn’t expect to have the honor of meeting Chairman Shi here."

Jiang Chen’s brain ran at full capacity, analyzing every piece of information like a sponge soaking up water.

"Miss Fujiwara, you’re too kind."

Don’t hit a smiling person.

Miss Shi never had goodwill towards the Japanese, especially after her father was attacked, increasing her disdain for them. However, this Japanese person was not just any Japanese, so Shi Qianxi had to suppress her personal feelings, playing along gracefully, as she smiled and asked Jiang Chen who was standing by, "Why didn’t you tell me Miss Fujiwara was here? I should have gone and said hello."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately deduced key information, glancing subtly at Fujiwara Reiki.

Although the other party was cunning and saw through his strategies, it was clear that Shi Qianxi was still unaware and in the dark.

Moreover,

many knew that the legendary business figure Shi Zhenhua almost died at the hands of a spy, but Shi Qianxi only knew it was the work of Japanese people and had no idea who Fujiwara Reiki was or even knew her.

Acknowledging this, Jiang Chen’s agitated emotions calmed slightly as he sat down nonchalantly.

"I didn’t expect you to know each other."

"Director Shi indeed doesn’t know me, but that’s okay. I’ve already introduced myself to her before."

Fujiwara Reiki joked, fitting yet humorous.

Jiang Chen looked at Shi Qianxi, and she just happened to look back.

Their eyes briefly met.

Who knows what her eyes were communicating, but then Jiang Chen heard, "It’s all his fault for not telling me that he even knows such an excellent friend like Miss Fujiwara in Japan. Perhaps he thought I would feel inferior?"

Fujiwara Reiki softly smiled, her lips sealed, maintaining her demeanor as she found herself in a foreign land.

"Miss Shi must have misunderstood. Jiang Sang didn’t mention it because Jiang Sang and I are nothing more than ordinary friends."

The corner of Jiang Chen’s eye involuntarily twitched.

As expected.

Although not exposed, sparks had indeed started flying.

"Just ordinary friends"

Is that supposed to be an explanation?

It’s pure embellishment!

Shi Qianxi’s graceful posture momentarily froze, and then Jiang Chen felt a sharp, tangible gaze sweep across his face. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Looking at that face which even as a woman made her heart sway, Shi Qianxi slightly parted her lips, then turned her gaze back to a certain someone’s face.

"Is that so?"

"It’s better to be invited than to encounter it by chance. I’ll treat this meal."

Boss Jiang is indeed Boss Jiang; even in such circumstances, he managed to squeeze out a smile so composed, pouring drinks for those at the table.

"Thank you, Jiang Sang. I won’t drink tonight."

Not drink?

Then why are you here?

Shi Qianxi remained silent, cursing the fox spirit internally. She already harbored prejudice against the Japanese, especially after the veiled provocations in Fujiwara Reiki’s words just now.
