After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1282: 1281: Mascot Xia Chuyi

“After all, a chef was my original training, you know.” A faint smile graced Xia Chuyi’s lips as she calmly stated, “My life’s ambition is to introduce the richness of Chinese cuisine to the entire world.”

Hearing this, the director erupted into hearty laughter. “Truly, great minds think alike, Chuyi! I find myself appreciating you more and more!”

“Because my dream is to see Z country’s cinema gain global recognition!”

As for Li Kexin, upon catching the director’s words, he simply shook his head. “You two, your aspirations are certainly grand.”

“As for me, I’m quite simply a businessman.” Li Kexin shrugged his shoulders with a grin. “The primary reason I delve into real estate is its profitability.”

The director chuckled, turning to Li Kexin. “But you can’t quite say that! You provide shelter for countless individuals, bringing warmth to the world!”

Li Kexin immediately responded with a shake of his head. “Please, don’t elevate me to such a status. To provide shelter for thousands, one first needs the capital, which is where I come in to make you smile!”

In essence, Li Kexin’s construction of homes is purely a pursuit of financial gain.

However, after a moment’s thought, Li Kexin voiced another question. “Chuyi, are you absolutely certain you won’t consider further investment?”

Xia Chuyi let out a light laugh upon hearing his inquiry. “Mr. Li, you needn’t fret about cash flow issues; I’m sure many will approach you for investment opportunities in the future.”

“How could they possibly compare?” Li Kexin immediately countered Xia Chuyi’s statement. “No one else is as dependable as you!”

“Let alone offering assistance precisely when needed, Chuyi, every single business venture you’ve invested in has yielded phenomenal profits!” Li Kexin exclaimed. “Your innate good fortune is truly unparalleled!”

Xia Chuyi’s laughter rang out. “So, Mr. Li, you wish for my investment not out of gratitude, but rather for me to serve as your lucky charm?”

This was precisely the Li Kexin that Xia Chuyi understood.

Li Kexin was a man who valued relationships, yet he was also an unadulterated businessman at his core.

Therefore, this very aspect was one of the reasons Xia Chuyi hesitated to become involved in the real estate sector.

She was unwilling to transform into someone solely driven by profit.

“Well…” Xia Chuyi’s words caused a flicker of embarrassment on Li Kexin’s face. “It’s not precisely that… I merely considered that if I could both reciprocate your past kindness and benefit from your auspicious luck, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?”

“Observe, even Mr. Guo is eager to collaborate with you,” Li Kexin finally added. “So, Chuyi, you truly won’t reconsider?”

Li Kexin’s plea couldn’t help but elicit another burst of laughter from Xia Chuyi.

Yet, after regaining her composure, Xia Chuyi mused for a moment before replying, “Regarding this matter… let’s approach it this way. If it’s feasible, when Mr. Li is developing properties, please set aside some prime commercial spaces for me. I intend to acquire them for a potential restaurant venture in the future.”

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s suggestion, Li Kexin readily agreed. “Absolutely, absolutely! Rest assured, I will certainly reserve the finest locations for you!”

“In this manner, we can consider it a form of collaboration!” Li Kexin declared with palpable excitement. “Then my future property developments are bound to proceed with exceptional smoothness!”

Xia Chuyi could only shake her head, a sense of helplessness washing over her.

Did Li Kexin genuinely perceive her as a good luck charm?

Glancing at her watch, Xia Chuyi suddenly announced to the director and Li Kexin, “My apologies, I’ve been away for quite some time now. I must take my leave. A child awaits me at home.”

Both the director and Li Kexin had been fully aware from the outset that Xia Chuyi’s presence was merely for form’s sake.

Therefore, her announcement did not catch either of them by surprise.
