I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2090 - 1347: Be Careful When Going Out From Now On

"Without Aunt Lan's intervention this time, it seems no one traveling to Ancient Mongolia could have succeeded."

At the base of the Changcheng Group building.

The duo of founders sat relaxed, sipping their afternoon tea.

Princess Cao appeared in her signature powerful businesswoman attire, and facing her was the woman in a pale green blouse, hair pulled back into elegant water waves that radiated timeless allure—none other than Blood Guanyin, fresh from her victorious mission in Ancient Mongolia.

One couldn't deny it; unlike her time in Korea, Lan Peizhi now carried a far softer demeanor.

Her main goal on that journey to Ancient Mongolia had been securing the setup of multiple oil refineries.

It might sound straightforward.

Yet it's an endeavor demanding heavy investment with returns that trickle in slowly.

More precisely, it could turn into something akin to a philanthropic effort.

Handling such a responsibility proves quite demanding.

"Sun Mangong carries plenty of shortcomings, but he possesses just one redeeming quality—he remembers his roots."

Cao Jinse let out a light laugh. To openly critique Old Tiger Sun, the formidable force shaking Ancient Mongolia, likely no one else in the world would have the nerve.

Those lacking the status wouldn't even attempt it.

And those who had the status wouldn't phrase it so directly.

"That's largely due to Aunt Lan's hard work. Anyone else might not even secure a meeting."

With those words, Cao Jinse hesitated, absentmindedly swirling her coffee as she cast an odd glance at the woman before her, the one who had brought countless powerful figures and legends to their knees.

Powerful figures.

Not legends.

Subduing legends holds little glory.

"Sun Mangong has spent years in solitude, remaining unmarried with no heir for his enormous empire... Facing such a fate, it's really quite tragic for a man like him."

"By rank, you ought to address him as Uncle."

Lan Peizhi gently redirected the conversation.

Cao Jinse rolled her eyes in an instinctive move.

Lan Peizhi reached for her coffee.

She truly stands out as an extraordinary individual.

She handles potent spirits with ease, relishes robust teas, and takes equal pleasure in coffee.

"Any updates on your love life?"

Was that a subtle dig?

"I... I'm not that old yet, am I? With his patriotic spirit, he ought to ease the nation's worries. The birth rate's dropping so much these days..."

"When he next visits the capital, discuss it with him yourself."

Lan Peizhi cut in.

Cao Jinse pressed her lips together, lifted her coffee, and drank a bit.

"The American forces appear unhappy about our moves in Japan."

"If it bothers them, they can simply avert their gaze."

"..."

Cao Jinse almost choked on her coffee.

People often label her as bold and sharp, a modern Wu Zetian in business.

That's just a narrow view.

Observe this woman instead.

Now that's genuine audacity!

If it bothers them, then don't look.

Cao Jinse echoed the phrase inwardly, eager to commit it to memory, though she doubted she could ever master it.

"The American military consists of nothing but madmen, ready to go to extremes for gains. Keeping them in check is tough. Should their armed forces align with their business and political arms, this situation in Japan will drag on."

Cao Jinse expressed with a sense of resignation.

"That's not for you to fret over."

Lan Peizhi's reply cut straight to the core, brief but pointed.

Cao Jinse couldn't suppress a laugh, nodding as she agreed: "You're right."

"Did you assign him the task, or did he offer to take it on?"

Lan Peizhi inquired out of the blue.

Cao Jinse blinked in confusion, "Huh?"

Noting the response, Cao Jinse quickly caught on.

"He rang me up, mentioned he wasn't keen on going, but with the Fujiwara Family extending the invitation, turning it down would seem improper."

"Fujiwara Reiki isn't an ordinary woman."

Coming from Blood Guanyin, such praise would likely fill that stunning Japanese beauty with a touch of satisfaction if she heard it.

"I'm aware. A lady who appears dazzling yet has navigated life's margins from a young age—reaching her current position isn't straightforward."

Princess Cao acted as if she grasped it fully.

"Have you encountered her?"

Lan Peizhi probed, showing rare interest in a Japanese figure.

Cao Jinse affirmed with a nod, "Yes, I've crossed paths with her. She's rather... captivating. If I were male, I'd scheme to claim her for myself."

Though born female, Princess Cao harbored several bold, masculine qualities deep down.

"In your position, I'd have eliminated her."

Lan Peizhi responded, her statement carrying an unusual edge.

Cao Jinse paused briefly in surprise, then fell into a brief, telling quiet, before shaking her head with a soft chuckle.

"It hasn't reached that level."

Lan Peizhi raised her eyes and met her gaze.

Cao Jinse remained steady and unruffled.

"Apart from Fujiwara Reiki, we lack a better candidate for the role."

Lan Peizhi reflected for a moment, then noted, "You see things on a grand scale."

"Pfft."

Cao Jinse at last burst into laughter, unable to contain it, followed by a sigh.

"Even if I considered taking her out, would our Boss Jiang permit it? Fujiwara Reiki serves as his devoted ally and esteemed mentor."

"Deal with that aftermath once she's gone."

Were Boss Jiang present, sharing this coffee, he'd probably squirm uncomfortably.

Cao Jinse found herself speechless, then muttered in exasperation, "What if he holds it against me down the line?"

"Do you fear him?"

"Aunt Lan, I'm not as formidable as you."

Cao Jinse's answer stayed vague, avoiding a clear yes or no.

Lan Peizhi let the subject drop.

The intricacies of relations between men and women run deep, defying simple labels like "fear or no fear."

The exchange between these two exceptional women halted as they savored their coffee, but the serene moment soon shattered with the buzz of a phone.

Cao Jinse retrieved her silenced device, at first intending to ignore it, yet upon spotting the caller, she hit accept anyway.

She held the phone to her ear.
