I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2160 - 1384: Do a Good Job

Cao Jinse departed soon after taking her seat, since this establishment belonged to Boss Jiang. She handled just some renovation rebates and a few recruitment tasks at best, hardly qualifying as a true collaborator.

Once Cao Jinse had gone, Jiang Chen positioned himself with hands clasped behind, staring at the wall while scrutinizing the striking "Qianlong’s Southern Inspection Map" once more.

This description didn't quite fit,

it was probably the real deal.

"Mr. Jiang appears to truly admire this artwork."

A voice emerged from behind.

"It's fine."

Having responded, Jiang Chen slowly swiveled his head, eyed the unexpected Zhuge Xi, and shifted his attention to the office entrance.

"This office belongs to me."

"..."

With Jiang Chen intruding into a space not his own, he paused in silence for a moment, pulled back his stare, and resumed admiring the piece on the wall. Resuming the earlier exchange, he echoed the subject pointlessly, as if repeating for no reason.

"It's fine."

Naturally.

Someone of Boss Jiang's stature rarely speaks without purpose; when something seems repetitive, it means the underlying implication escaped notice.

Had it been a sharper individual, such as the chubby bald man from before, he might have eagerly proposed handing over the painting by now. Little did anyone expect that Zhuge, the Branch Manager of Heaven and Earth Bank with a name evoking wisdom, displayed a surprising blindness to office politics. Jiang Chen had dropped an obvious cue, yet Zhuge acted oblivious, failing to pursue the matter.

Luckily, it was Boss Jiang involved; any other superior would doubtless have grown irritated and sensed mockery at minimum.

Very well.

Boss Jiang himself sensed a touch of mockery, but what recourse did he have?

Although the "Qianlong’s Southern Inspection Map" was displayed here, it remained personal belongings; operating a bank heightened the unassailable nature of ownership rights. Should dismissal occur immediately, Zhuge could simply remove the artwork himself.

"How long have you been acquainted with Miss Cao?"

Jiang Chen kept facing the artwork, offering Zhuge merely his imposing and lofty profile.

"I'm not close to Miss Cao, merely a casual connection."

Jiang Chen suppressed a chuckle.

Who claimed he was dim-witted?

He was evidently sharp as a tack.

He certainly grasped the importance of separating himself from Cao Jinse.

"Just a casual connection, so why does Miss Cao hold you in such high regard and praise you so effusively?"

"I'm puzzled too. Perhaps Miss Cao learned of my background and appreciates my abilities."

Jiang Chen sensed he'd encountered a formidable rival in audacity. Gazing at the invaluable artwork, Jiang Chen remarked steadily, "What's your background? Tell me about it."

"My background, Mr. Jiang must already know it well. No point in me belaboring it."

Individuals of this caliber avoid bootlicking; they maintain total autonomy and convictions. Sucking up to higher-ups isn't their approach.

In essence,

The higher-caliber the expert, the closer the dynamic with leadership tilts to partnership over classic hierarchy; akin to a love affair, it's reciprocal draw and "two-way chasing."

Jiang Chen knew his credentials inside out. True, he'd altered his surname, but his brilliance wasn't exaggerated.

Mastery of eight tongues, Arabic and Swahili among them. How rare are such polyglots worldwide?

Countless folks might not even recognize Swahili.

Emerging from Huaqing Management's elite track, he solved an unreleased economic expansion formula at age fifteen, leaving all in awe. His following move?

Dropped out.

Precisely.

He abandoned Huaqing Management, the aspiration of every learner and guardian in Shen Zhou.

From that point, his identity landed on Huaqing University's forbidden list, seen as a major disgrace, possibly prompting his name switch.

Exiting Huaqing, those uncommon terms that arise seldom indicate regret but typically launch an extraordinary journey.

Post-Huaqing, he wandered globally. Huaqing suffered alone no more; Cambridge, Yale, MIT... elite institutions around the world became his targets, sharing Huaqing's downfall. As a result, the full Ivy League barred him.

With academia rejecting him, he ceased seeking entry. Having shaken up scholarly circles, he entered commerce, crafted a lone arbitrage formula, landed a seven-figure yearly pay. Now, that formula serves as core material in global finance training. As a "trader," he profitably bet against fringe European state debts, earning the Wall Street Journal's "Euro Crisis Catcher" moniker, boosting the hedge fund's yearly gains to 37%, hailed as alchemy from rock.

Afterward,

He changed roles once more.

Serving as Strategic Director for the International Clearing Bank, he brokered multinational digital money clearing pacts with 47 national banks, created the "Black Swan" risk assessment framework, adopted as G20 protocol... His final position was the Federal Reserve.

Eventually, for unknown motives, he came back home.

To sum up, across studies and profession, his profile, or existence, loomed under the shadow of "frequent switches."

Typically, leaders scorn staff without "loyalty," prone to bolting anytime, breeding unease no matter their skills. Yet, after reviewing Zhuge Xi’s file, Jiang Chen boldly chose to name him Heaven and Earth Bank's inaugural director.
