After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 191: The Wrath of the Masses Persists

"I know, wasn’t I just teasing you?" Bian Yue’s eyes sparkled mischievously, enchanting as she raised her hand and pinched Shen Jinci’s face, raising an eyebrow, "What’s wrong, can’t I?"

Shen Jinci smiled, cradling Bian Yue’s hand and planting a kiss on her palm.

It was an overly precious and earnest kiss, causing Bian Yue to restrain her smile, looking at him uneasily, "What’s wrong?"

"Yueyue."

"Hmm?"

"What if one day, I am no longer Shen Jinci, what then?"

This dialogue came abruptly, Bian Yue frowned, her voice filled with confusion, "What do you mean by you are no longer Shen Jinci?"

"It’s just..." He paused, seeming to search for the right words, seriously saying, "If I suddenly lose everything I have, Yueyue... what would you do?"

Bian Yue looked at him seriously, and after a moment, she said, "Shen Jinci, no matter who you are, I will not give up on you. If worst comes to worst, I’ll support you."

Shen Jinci looked into her clear eyes, his noble features revealing a faint warmth, "How can I let you support me?"

"Who said women can’t support men? I’ll take care of earning money and supporting the family, and you can just stay beautiful. Isn’t that also good?" Bian Yue stated matter-of-factly, "Anyway, life can hold many possibilities, you can be whomever you want to be."

Shen Jinci stared deeply at Bian Yue, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "Understood."

The autumn in Xiangjiang carried a hint of cold, chased away by the morning sunlight, leaving no trace.

Bian Yue received a text from Anny, saying Lu Zhonian invited her, this time, wanting to have a meal alone with Bian Yue.

Bian Yue knew that the last dinner had not been pleasant. This time, Lu Zhonian inviting her likely meant he was extending an olive branch, and there was no reason for Bian Yue not to go.

On the other hand, at Lixing Group’s morning meeting, Shen Jinci sat in the main seat, looking at the partnership proposal in front of him, and spoke indifferently, "Is there any issue with this proposal?"

"Mr. Shen, I do not think Lixing needs to venture into the film industry, and I certainly do not think Honey is a good partner." The speaker, an elder from the Lu Family, looked at Shen Jinci with a cold voice, "You and Miss Bian are married, you can do whatever you want personally, but that does not mean Lixing should be offering charity to Honey."

Shen Zhaoli chuckled lightly to interrupt, slowly saying, "Chairman Shen, that’s a bit excessive. I have reviewed this partnership proposal, and Lixing stands to profit. Moreover, it isn’t biased towards Honey; from a business perspective, it is a relatively fair partnership."

"Fair? With so many choices available to Lixing, choosing Honey, is it because Mr. Shen thinks this company is particularly outstanding?"

Shen Jinci calmly looked towards the man with a cold face, slowly saying, "Chairman Shen, please trust my business judgment. Since I have chosen Honey, I am confident."

"Mr. Shen, when your father was alive, no matter what decision he made, he never mixed personal feelings into it. You are doing poorly in this regard," the man snorted coldly, his anger apparent, "Indeed, I want to see what good comes from your decision!"

The room fell deathly silent. Shen Jinci surveyed the room and calmly rose to his feet, "If there are no other issues, then let’s adjourn the meeting."

Shen Zhaoli slightly furrowed his brows, following Shen Jinci out, leaving the others in silence.

"I said things involving partnerships should not be rushed. What you are doing now, it’s normal for them to be dissatisfied, Bian Yue’s company so far hasn’t really achieved any notable results."

Shen Zhaoli’s tone was heavy, "In my opinion, you should have supported Bian Yue under your personal capacity instead of unsettling the board."

The two walked into the office, and only then did Shen Jinci indifferently say, "Bian Yue doesn’t need money; she needs resources, and doing it under Lixing’s name is more beneficial."

"I understand, but..." Shen Zhaoli let out a heavy breath, his smile wry, "Aren’t you thinking about yourself at all? Clashing with them, what good does it do for you?"

"No good."

"Since you know it does no good, why still go ahead with it? Bian Yue hasn’t dealt with the management decisions of a group like Lixing before. She doesn’t know how much criticism you are facing from the lower ranks for using Lixing’s resources to support her, but Shen Jinci, you should tell Bian Yue about this."

Shen Zhaoli’s expression turned grimmer, "You used to handle things so well, why are you getting so emotional now?"

"Zhaoli, I understand what you mean."

Shen Zhaoli blinked, looking puzzled at Shen Jinci, "What did you call me?"

"Zhaoli." Shen Jinci paused, looking at the astonishment in Shen Zhaoli’s eyes, he slowly said, "The matter with Honey is just the beginning. In the future, I will have many acts you can’t understand, and if one day, I indeed face overwhelming resentment, you can take over as the chairman of Lixing."

Shen Zhaoli found his head throbbing, incredulously looking at Shen Jinci, "You don’t want Lixing?"

"I didn’t really want it before, and now... it doesn’t matter whether I do or not. All I care about is whether Bian Yue can get what she wants." Shen Jinci’s demeanor was calm and indifferent, radiating a bone-deep nobility as he said, "You should’ve guessed the reason by now, right?"

Shen Zhaoli pursed his lips, looking at Shen Jinci, the two falling into an unspoken silence.

Meanwhile, Bian Yue was sitting in Lu Zhonian’s office, quietly observing the array of exquisite pastries in front of her.

"President Lu, I had breakfast before coming, I’m not hungry."

"You misunderstood, these are my breakfast." Lu Zhonian sat down across Bian Yue, picking up a pastry to taste.

Bian Yue was taken aback, then smiled, "I never thought President Lu liked sweet things." frёewebηovel.cѳm

"People always have contrasting sides, like President Bian. The first time I saw you, I didn’t expect you to be so temperamental either." Lu Zhonian spoke lightly, "The matter between you and Zhuang Jie Ning, last time was the final time I intervened. From now on, it has nothing to do with me."

"Isn’t President Lu related to Zhuang Jie Ning? What, if I have a conflict with Zhuang Jie Ning next time, you won’t be biased?"

Bian Yue leaned back on the sofa, her voice cold, "I appreciate President Lu’s effort to premiere ’Shengshi Yan’ earlier to minimize losses, but this isn’t just about my interests, is it?"

Lu Zhonian’s lips curled with an ambiguous smile, his expression always restrained, giving nothing away.

At that moment, he looked up at Bian Yue, half-smiling, "Yes, President Bian is right; my actions were more about considering Xinghe’s interests. But... I really admire President Bian."

Bian Yue smiled, "Thank you, President Lu."

"In four days, ’Shengshi Yan’ will premiere. According to our internal assessment, the viewership will not be poor, and if everything goes smoothly, I would like to discuss a collaboration with President Bian."

Bian Yue’s smile receded slightly, "Isn’t President Lu aware that Honey and Lixing have already reached a film cooperation agreement?"
