I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2377 - 1506: Commander-in-Chief

Is something wrong with my proposed strategy?

There should not be any problems encountered.

Establishing a fictitious persona is undeniably the most fitting approach for this situation.

Jiang Chen had just clarified the benefits, creating a mutually advantageous scenario.

Yet, in the end, he was still dismissed.

Why adopt such a rigid stance?

It is merely a designation.

A persona that exists only in concept.

As for whether to bring it into reality...

That is a matter for future deliberation.

Based on the established framework, it is not imperative for an individual to make a personal appearance; the connection is intended to be remote. Should relatives insist on a meeting, it would be straightforward to manage. It is the technological age, so do not misinterpret this—it is not about escorting parents overseas due to the perceived dangers Jiang Chen highlighted, nor is it about specifically inviting top international figures to visit Shen Zhou.

Communication via trans-oceanic calls or video conferences can effectively address the necessity.

There is no requirement for in-person performances.

It is akin to the advanced technology prevalent in the film industry, where actors need not be physically present, as AI capabilities can seamlessly handle their roles.

This method is uncomplicated, incurs no cost, yet can potentially grant Pei Yunxi an additional year or two of leeway with her family.

Why forgo such an opportunity?

While Boss Jiang's scheme might be unconventional, it effectively addresses the present predicaments of both parties and also serves to appease Pei Yunxi's family, presenting a flawless resolution.

However, this contemplation of happiness did not spare Jiang Chen from the inevitable fate of being struck by slippers.

"Give it due consideration."

As he departed through the doorway, he made sure to call out this advice, then assisted in closing the door, letting out a slight sigh of relief.

"Beep beep—beep beep beep—"

The sound of a car horn echoed.

Positioned outside Pei Yunxi's estate, Jiang Chen turned his head and observed Xu Siyi's vehicle approaching.

"What is happening?"

The window of the moon-white Pallamela descended; Xu Siyi adjusted her sunglasses.

"Just out for a drive."

Jiang Chen adopted a casual demeanor, moving closer. "Shouldn't you be recuperating? Yet you are still out and about."

He certainly knew how to converse.

Xu Siyi shot him a displeased look, "Even if I am resting, I still require sustenance, do I not? My supply of groceries has been depleted. You gentlemen are so high-maintenance that these menial and arduous tasks fall solely upon me, the household help."

Once a secondary consort, then an appendage, and now resigned to the role of a servant.

Jiang Chen let out a soft chuckle, "I shall accompany you."

"Truly?"

"Working is acceptable, but you cannot be expected to cover expenses from your own funds, can you?"

"That sounds agreeable!"

Xu Siyi gestured with her head, "Enter the vehicle."

Jiang Chen proceeded towards the front passenger seat.

Xu Siyi cast a glance back at the mansion, then lowered her sunglasses.

The Pallamela began to move once more.

"You do not harbor any objections, correct?"

Xu Siyi maintained her gaze forward, posing the question as she drove.

"Objections to what?"

Jiang Chen appeared perplexed.

"What are your thoughts on the matter?"

Xu Siyi turned her head slightly to look at him, "I mean, I am currently operating Li Shuru's vehicle; you have no issue with this, do you?"

This Pallamela was indeed a vehicle belonging to Li Shuru, a gift bestowed upon her previously.

Concurrently.

It also marked the commencement of an individual's fresh chapter in life.

"It is her automobile; why would you inquire with me? She willingly entrusted you with the keys."

"Do you have any inkling of the envy I felt observing Shu Rui drive the Pallamela during those bygone days?"

Xu Siyi reminisced about the past.

Jiang Chen chuckled, "Given your present capabilities, you could effortlessly procure one for yourself."

"But it carries a different significance."

Xu Siyi's grip tightened on the steering wheel, "The desire to procure osmanthus flowers and enjoy fine wine evokes different feelings when experienced during university compared to the present moment; the contrast is profound."

Jiang Chen offered a nod of agreement.

"Indeed."

"In that case, you ought to be acquiring a Ferrari or a Lamborghini."

His expression shifted to seriousness for less than a second.

Xu Siyi erupted into laughter, "You are so vexing!"

Jiang Chen responded with a silent smile.

"That was Pei Yunxi's residence just now, was it not?"

Xu Siyi inquired unexpectedly.

Jiang Chen instinctively uttered an "Mm," then quickly recognized his slip.

This young woman, despite her reminiscing about university days, was likely merely attempting to divert his attention.

"How did you ascertain that? Did Shu Rui inform you?"

Were the circumstances reversed, another might feel a pang of guilt, but this was Boss Jiang; he remained composed and collected.

"Pei Yunxi resides at Spring and Autumn Plaza; this fact is hardly a clandestine matter."

"You are not a celebrity follower, are you?"

The vast majority of fan culture originates from the endeavors of women, particularly young girls who demonstrate an unwavering devotion to pursuing idols; witnessing their idols offers a more profound excitement than seeing Ultraman in reality, evolving into a baffling obsession, yet Xu Siyi certainly did not fit that mold.

"I do not follow celebrities. However, that is Pei Yunxi; what young woman does not hold her in admiration?"

"Admiration for her public persona, I presume?"

Jiang Chen smiled, "Each individual is an unparalleled masterpiece; there is no necessity for envy of others. I, for one, do not harbor envy towards Daniel Wu."

"I believe you possess a more striking appearance than Daniel Wu."

Xu Siyi's statement was direct and resolute.

"That is hardly an effective method for offering praise. Even insincere flattery requires a degree of finesse; it ought not to be excessively embellished."

"Why would I engage in insincere flattery towards you? You would not grant me even a single cent."

"...That makes sense."

"Why the long silence from Pei Yunxi? Hasn’t she released any new work?"

Xu Siyi inquired casually.

"I’m not sure."

"How can you not know? Aren’t you her boss?"

"Given her standing, what 'boss'? She’ll release work when she feels like it; no one can truly compel her otherwise."

"Oh, come on."

Xu Siyi scoffed, "Do you actually expect me to believe that? In the entertainment industry, no matter how famous a star becomes, they are still artists. The true power brokers in showbiz belong to you capitalists."

Jiang Chen relaxed, leaning back in his seat. "That’s just a common misconception."

The Pallamela smoothly exited Spring and Autumn Plaza.

"May I inquire about something, just between us?"

"Don’t bother asking."

Xu Siyi paused briefly, then couldn’t resist retorting, "Why must you be so irritating?"

"That’s why people say distance makes the heart grow fonder."

Xu Siyi let out a laugh that was close to tears. "You think I’m going to cling to you? Don’t worry, my utterly defeated self knows better than to make a fool of myself."

"You’re being short-sighted."

Jiang Chen chuckled. "It’s all in the past now; no one is dwelling on it too much."
