I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2586 - 1619: Small Gathering

"Open my eyes and dream a dream

ask you, what’s the point of you sending me home..."

On the way to the dinner, Boss Jiang was driving, and Qing Gege in the passenger seat wasn’t idle either, humming a song and providing emotional value.

"Though I know your wife silently gives you all her loyalty

seeing you hide your ring, my heart grows heavy..."

As she hummed, her fingers rested on the window ledge, tapping out the beat.

In the dusky, hazy light, the busy street scene was coated with a movie-like filter.

Qing Gege’s singing voice was beyond reproach, unlike some girls, beautiful but totally tone-deaf. Plus this was a Cantonese song, matching the time and setting perfectly, the vibe maxed out.

"What’s this song called again?"

Boss Jiang was driving the special car provided by Xinghuo Medical Center, fishing for conversation.

"Angkor Wat."

Jiang Chen recalled, "It’s about an affair, right?"

He said as he drove, "Actually it’s written pretty spot-on. The married are restless, the single are unwilling to settle. It’s all about human nature—what you can’t have is always stirring things up."

He really couldn’t chat to save his life.

He just said all of her lines—what was she supposed to say now?

"Seems the singer’s also called Wu Yufei."

All right then.

So it wasn’t unintentional, it was on purpose.

"But she’s not as pretty as Wu Yufei."

As he said it, he even stupidly laughed at his own joke.

Is that funny?

Where’s the joke?

Fang Qing didn’t laugh; instead, she switched to another song.

A Mandarin one.

"To betray a true heart, you always have to pay a price

you have to hurt like I do for it to count as punishment

the man I loved tormented me way beyond the line

my innocence was brutally erased by him

but he underestimated how terrifying my ruthlessness can be

the suffering I’ve endured, heaven won’t let him off for that..."

This song Jiang Chen had never heard, so he lowered his flag and fell silent.

In the peaceful, cozy atmosphere, the car arrived at their destination.

It was a private kitchen restaurant.

Three floors in total.

Whoever was picking up the tab, the place had been chosen by Wu Yufei. No—by Wu Yufei.

"Jiang Chen, Lawyer Fang."

Xie Wendong greeted them at the door, excited and warm.

"You look like a proper success story now."

Jiang Chen teased his old classmate.

In a casual outfit whose quality clearly wasn’t cheap, Xie Wendong chuckled without false modesty. "I’m just riding your coattails."

Boss Jiang gave a light cough; he’d literally just said he’d only helped a little.

"Have they arrived yet?"

Wu Yufei had gone to pick up Ouyang Qing.

"They’re on the way." Xie Wendong gestured. "Let’s go up first."

Just as the three of them were heading upstairs, on the other side—

Wu Yufei was driving over in a BMW M4, the standard gear for a successful woman, with the veteran discipline inspector Ouyang Qing in the passenger seat.

"I was wondering why you weren’t at the company this afternoon. President Wu, as the boss you can’t just do whatever you want. Skipping work whenever you feel like it—what are the employees supposed to think? We’ve got close to a hundred people now at least; you need to lead by example and keep work and personal stuff separate."

Eyes straight ahead, fully focused on driving, Wu Yufei was well aware the other woman was teasing her on purpose.

"I was doing it for the company."

"Oh?"

Ouyang Qing shifted in her seat, turned her head, eyes full of curiosity. "Then go on, explain how exactly that was ’for the company’?"

Wu Yufei stayed calm and composed. A company with close to a hundred people, if it were in Sha City, would already count as a notable enterprise. Even in River City, it was nothing to sneeze at. As the boss of such a company, there was no way she was still a thin-skinned, shy little girl.

Fang Qing’s assessment was accurate; it was just that this side only showed up in front of certain people.

"Where does the company’s biggest business come from?"

"Xinghuo Medical Center, of course."

Ouyang Qing answered without thinking.

Anyone who knows the current medical industry knows the drill. Under the main theme of anti-corruption and clean governance, hospitals are struggling, and medical companies that depend on hospitals are having an even harder time.

Even if you can still get orders from hospitals, payments are a nightmare—delayed again and again, repayment date nowhere in sight.

But Xinghuo Medical Center is different.

They’re loaded.

They’ve always paid on time.

That’s how Star Medical Technology managed to ride the waves and grow against the trend in such a harsh environment.

"So who’s our closest, most indispensable partner?"

"Xinghuo, obviously."

Ouyang Qing’s answer was still firm and decisive.

"So I’m going to handle my relationship with Jiang Chen. What exactly is wrong with that?"

It was like someone stuffed a rag into her mouth; Ouyang Qing was instantly at a loss for words. After a long pause, she could only give a helpless smile.

"I thought you really hated this kind of socializing."

"I’m the boss. With ordinary people, do I really need to go deal with them personally?"

"..."

Ouyang Qing was speechless.

Yeah.

That actually made a lot of sense.

A boss.

Is supposed to show up only at critical moments.

And that former old classmate could be called their company’s key man. Without him, there simply wouldn’t be today’s Star Technology.

So.

It was entirely reasonable.

No matter what she was like in front of Boss Jiang, in any scene where Boss Jiang wasn’t present, Wu Yufei was unquestionably a qualified entrepreneur. She never threw her weight around, and she convinced people with reason.

"Then why didn’t you tell us so we could all go together? Wouldn’t that show more sincerity?"

"Too much is as bad as not enough."

Wu Yufei was crisp and decisive.

Once again, Ouyang Qing was left without a comeback. She really wasn’t a match for her. In fact, ever since they started working together, she’d gradually noticed a strength in the other woman that she’d never seen before.

A very strong ability to learn.

With a helpless sigh, Ouyang Qing dropped the offensive and asked, "How’s his relative doing?"

"Hard to say."

"Even Xinghuo Medical Center can’t handle it?"

Having worked together for so long, no one knew Xinghuo’s capabilities better than they did. They practically didn’t care about costs—whether in equipment or talent. From being collectively boycotted at the start, even framed and set up, to now having their reputation soar, they’d become the first-tier choice for River City residents seeking medical care, and their influence extended to the surrounding city cluster.
