Chapter 2379: Chapter 1507: Unspeakable Secrets

"If you ever go to Kyoto, remember to stop by Heaven and Earth Bank and chat with the bank president. It’ll only do you good."

Jiang Chen had high hopes for the youngest in the dorm, giving advice at the dinner table.

"I’ll be going to Kyoto on a business trip next month. I’ll definitely visit President Zhuge then."

Tianci Capital and Heaven and Earth Bank have a strategic partnership. As CFO, Bai Zheli must have some dealings with Zhuge Xi, but they haven’t met in person yet.

Developing, integrating, organizing, coordinating...

A brand new business empire is quietly emerging without anyone noticing.

"I heard the bank president of Heaven and Earth Bank has a mysterious background. Is he really a descendant of Zhuge Liang?" Xu Siyi chimed in, pausing with her chopsticks near her lips.

"You know about this?"

Jiang Chen was surprised.

Xu Siyi rolled her eyes slightly, "I’ve been mingling in the financial circle, after all."

Jiang Chen smiled.

Almost forgot.

The jerk she met was from within the financial system.

"Junior Xu, I heard you made quite a bit of money in the financial market? You were definitely wasting your talents studying arts back then."

Luo Peng remarked.

"Mr. Luo, stop teasing me. I’m just a small fry. I pick up scraps dropped by bigshots like you."

"The way you speak is very insincere. We never considered you an outsider."

"My mistake."

Xu Siyi immediately changed her address, "Senior Luo, please forgive this little girl’s indiscretion."

"You’re not a little girl at all."

Luo Peng teased, "You were famously beautiful back in school, with admirers from every department."

Xu Siyi rolled her eyes coyly, "There you go making fun of me again."

"Are you dating anyone?"

Luo Peng inquired.

"You’re a married man." Jiang Chen interjected.

"What are you thinking? As seniors, it’s only natural to care about our juniors."

"Nope. Single."

"Seriously?"

Luo Peng likely didn’t know about Xu Siyi’s past. Also, Li Shuru certainly wouldn’t gossip about Xu Siyi’s private life.

"What’s so strange about that?"

Xu Siyi sighed, lamenting, "Although I was quite popular among boys in school, it’s a different story in society. There are too many beauties everywhere. Why would outstanding men notice me?"

"Are you pulling my leg?"

Luo Peng laughed. Even from his perspective now, Xu Siyi looked quite beautiful, with a natural alluring charm, skilled at handling situations, sharp and eloquent, like an... innate seductress.

Of course, such an evaluation can only be kept to oneself and not said out loud.

"Maybe your standards are too high?"

"A house in East Sea, a million yuan annual salary, under thirty years old—those requirements aren’t high, right?"

"No wonder you’re single."

Their conversation amused everyone.

"If you two are putting on a show, shouldn’t you wait until after dinner?" Jiang Chen interjected.

"Dinner and a comedy show, where else can you find something like this, right, Junior Xu?"

Xu Siyi nodded immediately.

Truth be told, Luo Peng and Xu Siyi really had similar styles. They’re both experts at livening up the atmosphere. With their back-and-forth banter, the meal ended joyously.

After dinner, Xu Siyi took the initiative to help clean up.

"Has she really turned over a new leaf?"

Luo Peng muttered.

"Why is Brother Luo so concerned about Xu Siyi?"

Luo Peng rubbed his chin, "Xu Siyi’s quite great, and we’re all so familiar with each other. What do you all think about introducing her to Brother Shao?"

Jiang Chen was speechless, looking at the suddenly thoughtful and seemingly serious Luo Peng.

This is one hell of a wild idea.

"Introduce her to Brother Li Shao?"

Bai Zheli was shocked.

"Yeah."

Luo Peng replied calmly, "Brother Shao’s parents still insist on farming because they have nothing else to do. People from their generation can’t relax. If Brother Shao got married and had a child, and they became grandparents, they surely wouldn’t want to farm anymore."

Bai Zheli gave a thumbs up.

"Is she really single?"

Luo Peng glanced at Jiang Chen.

"Playing matchmaker."

Jiang Chen summed it up in one phrase.

"Let’s give it a try. Whether it works out is another matter. I believe their personalities complement each other well. Brother Shao is too reserved; he needs someone more outgoing and lively."

Jiang Chen, unwilling to hear more nonsense, issued an eviction order, "It’s getting late, let’s head back."

"Can’t we stay a bit longer? Are you really treating us like guests?"

Bai Zheli was more tactful.

"Brother Luo, you stay. I’m leaving."

"You..."

Luo Peng sighed helplessly, "Remember to inform them."

That night.

The curtains slightly swayed.

A cool breeze entered, dissipating the warm air.

Jiang Chen lay with his eyes open, looking at the ceiling, gently stroking his girlfriend’s soft, silky hair.

"Let’s not mention Si Yi’s affairs to Luo Peng and the others."

Li Shuru rested in the man’s embrace, lying on her side, her smooth, fair arm draped across his chest, her breath warm.

"That’s someone else’s private matter. Why would I talk about it?"

Jiang Chen absentmindedly stroked his girlfriend’s hair while chuckling softly, "Do you know what crazy idea Luo Peng just came up with?"

"Hmm?"

Li Shuru lazily murmured, seeming too tired to expend the energy to speak.

It was already past ten.

And the two had gone to bed at nine.

An hour, testing not only a man’s endurance but also a woman’s.

"He wants to introduce Xu Siyi to Brother Shao."

"Seriously?"

Li Shuru was filled with surprise, diminishing her fatigue slightly.

"He’s always like that, coming up with ideas on a whim. I was worried he’d babble nonsensically in front of Xu Siyi, so I sent him away."
