I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2222 - 1417: Why Should I!

No matter his strength, the gentle wind brushes past the hills; no matter how overbearing he might seem, the radiant moon illuminates the great river.

As someone who once loved martial arts cinema, Jiang Chen grasped the necessity of remaining out of the limelight.

Yet.

While employing his 'Earth Escape Technique' to flee the scene, he watched the Great Wall Building recede in his mirror, but a single detail still eluded him.

Since when did Princess Cao become so bold?

Demanding a face-to-face confrontation.

It entirely contradicted her usual method of operation.

Admittedly.

When dealing with business, the Princess was consistently decisive and sharp, but regarding personal emotional matters, she shifted from a majestic phoenix soaring high into an ostrich with its head buried deep in the earth.

On the other hand.

He Yihui was far more approachable.

Therefore.

What was happening today?

Even if he owed her an answer, was there not still plenty of time?

Jiang Chen glanced at the dashboard clock while navigating through traffic.

There remained dozens of hours before the three-day limit, did there not?

To be honest, Jiang Chen realized that vanishing without a word was a bit of a scoundrel's move; Mr. Luo had committed similar acts back at East University, but what other options remained open to him?

He could either finalize an engagement with Princess Cao while abandoning Li Shuru, with whom he shared a profound bond.

Or he could choose to refuse.

Claiming they could remain friends despite impossible circumstances.

That sentiment held about as much weight as saying every person is truly equal.

Even if one assumed Princess Cao remained unbothered, what about her family? Or her connections?

Without question, such an event would trigger a drastic, uncontrollable shift in their entire relationship.

Choosing the lesser of two evils is standard.

But what happens when both paths lead off a cliff?

The only solution left is the 'Earth Escape Technique'.

Though fleeing rarely provides a permanent remedy, in life-or-death situations—much like a terminally ill patient confined to a bed—stalling for time is often the wisest course of action.

Who knows.

Perhaps a miracle cure will appear tomorrow?

Fortune favors those who maintain their faith.

One must always cling to optimism and hope for the days ahead.

And as luck would have it.

Comrade Jiang Chen was a cheerful, optimistic soul who refused to dwell on misery, preferring to look toward the horizon.

However.

An excellent attitude merely proves your readiness to let go; it does not force life to make exceptions for you. In fact, such resilience might only invite more complex challenges.

Having successfully avoided Princess Cao, another trial awaited him.

Problems that cannot be solved today are shelved, while negotiable matters are handled with haste.

As a seasoned scholar, Jiang Chen followed standard logic for problem-solving; as the Great Wall Building faded into the distance, he immediately called Hu Die.

Handling her first task after the transfer, Hu Die was certain to give it her all. An hour later, Jiang Chen arrived at a massive expanse of wasteland, a site one would never expect to exist within the bustling city of Kyoto.

With so many famous landmarks available, why would Director Shi choose to visit this place?

Although his arrival was not immediate, luckily, the pair had not departed. Scanning the area, Jiang Chen exited his vehicle, crossed the perimeter, and quickly spotted Shi Qianxi and Hu Die.

Director Shi wore a sunhat, clearly prepared, strolling casually along the wasteland’s edge while occupied on a call, with Hu Die dutifully hanging back a few paces.

The entire situation seemed remarkably peaceful.

So.

Life isn't always as grand as one dreams, yet it isn't truly unbearable, either.

Jiang Chen approached, and as he drew near, Hu Die caught sight of him.

He nodded in silence, and Hu Die, understanding the instruction, immediately stopped.

"Well, look who finally arrived."

Director Shi looked back, as if seeking Hu Die, but appeared surprised to find Boss Jiang, speaking with a predictably biting tone.

"Caught in a meeting, my apologies."

An explanation was clearly needed.

"I know, your secretary mentioned it. It is fine, though this sudden display of diligence is quite unexpected."

"She isn't my secretary,"

Boss Jiang ignored her sarcasm and asked plainly, "What brings you to Kyoto so abruptly?"

In his memory, this woman typically avoided the capital. As a founder of Great Wall, she had poured billions into the project but never looked back—can you believe that?

She even attended key strategic meetings via video link.

Perhaps her avoidance of Kyoto was simply her being over-cautious; Jinhai Industry kept her spread too thin as it was.

"Obviously, I have business to attend to. I didn't come here for you."

Receiving her call that morning had genuinely caught Jiang Chen off guard, but given his prior meeting at the Great Wall, he had left Hu Die to coordinate. Managing the timing was manageable, but the real trouble had been disconnecting the call during his meeting.

Jiang Chen knew exactly why she was annoyed, and her frustration was understandable. Even a calm person might lose their temper, but clearly, one could not hold Princess Cao accountable.

The Princess was certainly not to blame.

Of course.

He considered himself entirely innocent as well.

"Truly, what brings you here on such a specific excursion?"
