After hurriedly finishing his breakfast, Chen Jiang didn't waste any words and got up to take the two women to the company.
"There's still some time, no need to rush, right?"
"I also have some things to take care of today."
Nina didn't know why Chen Jiang was in such a hurry, but after hearing what he said, she didn't ask any more questions. After quickly getting ready, she prepared to leave.
Today, since it's time for the official filming, neither she nor Margarita need to do their own makeup; they'll have it done on-site when they arrive at the filming location.
However, Chen Jiang still had to take the two of them to the company.
But to be honest, when Chen Jiang first got this Aston Martin, he was quite happy. The driving experience was also very good. However, a two-seater car does have many shortcomings. For example, if he wanted to carry two people, the Aston Martin would be completely unusable.
The car had no back seat, and even though traffic regulations in Shenzhen weren't strict, Chen Jiang couldn't just cramm Margarita, with whom he had just made a deal, into the back of the car... So, in the end, Chen Jiang drove his beat-up Volkswagen out again.
This car has been gathering dust in the community parking space ever since he got his Aston Martin. Chen Jiang never thought he would ever use it again... However, a four-seater car is really a necessity. For home use, a two-seater sports car is indeed not very practical.
Nina had never complained about the car in the first place, so she naturally didn't say anything. After the car arrived, she sat in the passenger seat and said with a smile:
"Honey, I might not be back for a few days. If you miss me, you can come visit me."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll come see you if I want to."
Chen Jiang glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Margarita had also gotten into the car with a disgruntled expression, so he started the car and drove off.
Chen Jiang had traveled this road more than ten times in the past few days, so he knew it very well and arrived at his destination in no time.
Both women got out of the car, said goodbye to him, and walked towards the office building.
Just as Chen Jiang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Margarita, who had walked to the door, suddenly turn around and blow him a kiss, drawing the attention of passersby.
After being glared at by Chen Jiang, he turned and went into the building.
But as he looked at her alluring back, he suddenly felt a pang of regret:
"This woman is a bit troublesome..."
But there's no going back now. Anyway, he still has a lot of health, so even if he gets hit by a bomb, it won't be a big problem.
So after worrying for a while, Chen Jiang dismissed these random thoughts, started the car, and disappeared down the street...
......
As for Chen Jiang himself, he didn't have much ambition.
It's human nature to be attracted to beautiful women, but he prefers to let things take their natural course. However, after his luck turned around, his romantic luck also changed. He encountered one beautiful woman after another who was previously unworthy of his attention, and they even had some unexpected connections.
The accumulation of wealth was similar; with the help of luck, he amassed an astronomical sum in a short period of time, which he could never spend as long as he didn't squander it.
Five years ago, he thought he would retire after earning two million... Now he is worth hundreds of millions. Logically speaking, he could have chosen to retire. He doesn't really want to work hard and just wants to enjoy the life of a rich person.
However, Chen Jiang still attached great importance to the financial investment company he was about to come into contact with, not only because Yan Wenshuo valued it, but also because he had shares in the company worth 1 billion yuan. No matter how much he wanted to lie low, he couldn't pretend that the money didn't exist, so he had to keep an eye on it.
So when he got home, Chen Jiang didn't give up completely and continued playing games and watching videos.
Instead, he unusually started searching online for various financial investment-related knowledge, watching videos and reading articles, preparing to learn a little.
He understood, of course, that at his age, it would be difficult to learn a completely unfamiliar industry. But Chen Jiang also understood that the company already had people in charge of management, so he didn't need to know everything, but at least he should understand the basics so he wouldn't be taken for a fool.
However, it turns out that the knowledge in the financial industry is indeed obscure and difficult to understand, especially since Chen Jiang didn't have much of a foundation. Reading articles online was like accidentally entering a celestial realm, as they were all incomprehensible cryptic texts.
After much effort, I finally grasped some basic financial concepts, like venture capital and equity...
Even so, Chen Jiang was satisfied. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. He just had a poor foundation, not a bad brain. He would make progress by watching and learning.
"And time really flies when you're studying hard... If I could study this hard in school, I might even get into Tsinghua or Peking University!"
Chen Jiang shook his head off these jumbled thoughts, picked up his phone, unlocked it, opened WeChat, and several chat messages popped up.
He glanced at it; it mainly consisted of three people.
[Song Hua: Mr. Chen, has the car repair bill been released? Please send it to me.]
Chen Jiang: Really, it's not necessary, President Song.
Chen Jiang replied briefly, then looked at the next message, which was from Xiaoya:
[Xiaoya: Mr. Chen, the company's trip to Shanghai has been scheduled. We'll depart at 2 PM the day after tomorrow. I've already booked the plane tickets and everything. I'll pick you up then. If you have any other plans, please let me know in advance so I can adjust the schedule.]
Chen Jiang: Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work.
[Xiaoya: It's not hard work at all, Mr. Chen... I'm getting a promotion and a raise!]
Chen Jiang: Congratulations!
Xiaoya: Laughs~~
The third message was actually from Gao Wen. It was a selfie. She was wearing a dress and had a cool and arrogant look on her face. The background seemed to be still on the film set. You could also see the staff walking around and her agent, Sister Qing, in the photo.
Besides this cryptic selfie, there are two other messages:
"Chen Jiang, I'm almost done filming in Shenzhen. Next, I'll be going to Shanghai for a few days."
"Do you have time now? I'd like to see you..."
Chen Jiang was quite surprised; although Gao Wen had made a statement a few days ago, she had not given up.
But there had been no news for the past few days, and he thought the other party had recovered from the stress.
Now she wants to see me again... Is she going to make things clear, or is she going to tell me what she wants to do?
It can't be that he's turned evil and wants me to go over and stab him, can it?
"No, no... don't think like that!"
Chen Jiang shook off the terrifying thoughts in his mind, feeling worried but helpless. After all, he had said he would take responsibility, and if Gao Wen really didn't give up, then he would truly have no choice but to take responsibility.
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
Where are you now?
After a few seconds, Gao Wen sent an address.
Chen Jiang didn't reply to her again. He glanced at the location she sent, got up, picked up his keys, got dressed, and went downstairs.
