CHAPTER 1614: CHAPTER 1084: DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE STORY OF JIANG CHEN AND HER?

The store owner sighed helplessly, "Alright, six hundred it is. Let’s just consider it as making a friend with you, Miss."

Li Shuru didn’t rush to pay the bill.

Sometimes such behavior may not always have a positive effect.

Shi Qianxi scanned the code to pay, took the stuff, and left swiftly.

"This one’s for you."

Looking at the shopping bag being handed to her, Li Shuru looked puzzled.

"You take it and give it to Jiang Chen."

Li Shuru’s expression remained unchanged, "It was bought by Sister Qianqian, why doesn’t Sister Qianqian give it to him herself."

What is called having a vision.

What is called being magnanimous.

What more could one ask for?

"You’re his girlfriend, and I’m not," Shi Qianxi laughed.

"Then what about this one?"

Li Shuru asked.

"This one’s a gift for my dad."

Li Shuru obviously knew who her dad was.

Despite having retired, the grassroots founder of Jin Hai remained a benchmark in the East Sea business circle and even nationwide.

Sending such a figure a belt priced no more than five hundred, and even after bargaining?

"My dad doesn’t really care about these things, sometimes it’s unavoidable due to his needs. Privately, many of his clothes aren’t expensive."

Grassroots upbringing, defying destiny.

Some indulge in revenge shopping.

Just like many nouveaux riches.

A small group grows more confident or arrogant, disdainful of chasing luxury items as a symbol of identity, believing their true value lies in themselves.

Shi Zhenhua is undoubtedly the latter.

Li Shuru didn’t refuse and took the shopping bag with the belt inside.

Later, Shi Qianxi picked out a few outfits for her dad.

Filial piety comes first.

Does the price matter?

It’s the thought that counts.

Undoubtedly, when Shi Zhenhua receives these things, he won’t consider their value and will definitely beam with joy.

Miss Shi didn’t overstep her boundaries by choosing items for someone else’s boyfriend, Li Shuru herself selected two sets for someone.

If the founder of Jin Hai doesn’t mind, then that someone shouldn’t mind the cheapness of these items either.

But the payment was made by Shi Qianxi scanning the code,

After all, she’s the elder sister.

Carrying big bags and small ones, the two women went back to the surface and found a nearby small restaurant.

"We should’ve called the bodyguard to carry the stuff, it’s exhausting,"

Shi Qianxi wiped her sweat.

Li Shuru smiled silently, handing over a napkin.

Have a bodyguard follow?

Perhaps when bargaining, the boss would think you were crazy.

"Shuru, you’re really in good shape."

Shopping is a physical activity itself, many men can’t handle it, but Li Shuru seems unaffected, quite relaxed.

"I majored in dance in college, I’m used to it."

Shi Qianxi, pampered: "Then why didn’t you pursue your dream and become a dancer?"

This remark.

Had quite a profound meaning.

Perhaps realizing her words might be ambiguous, Shi Qianxi added: "You gave up everything you had worked for, for that guy, that’s quite a sacrifice."

Well.

The more I listen, the more uncomfortable it sounds.

Isn’t there a hint of sarcasm?

Yet Li Shuru seemed unaffected, and even smiled, saying: "Ever since Sister Qianqian accidentally cracked that blood diamond, he helped me pay for it, all my ’sacrifices’ have been right."

Shi Qianxi’s eyes flickered and then she smiled too.

It really didn’t disappoint her.

It also gave her assurance.

"In that case, you two being together, I played a huge part in it, huh?"

Hard to imagine.

Such an awkward situation, the two could speak of it in a joking manner.

"Yes, I’m always grateful to Sister Qianqian."

For some reason.

Even with sufficient mental preparation, hearing these words, Shi Qianxi still felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

She looked at the other person.

If she can’t get the upper hand, then her status as the older sister might just be in name only.

"I was too young then. If I could do it over again, I definitely wouldn’t have been so impulsive."

Shi Qianxi sighed softly.

Young?

It actually happened just two years ago.

She paused, then who knew she added, "I wouldn’t fall on the ground again; I’d directly crash into Jiang Chen’s forehead."

Li Shuru was slightly stunned, then chuckled openly.

"Look."

Suddenly.

Shi Qianxi gestured with her eyes behind her.

Li Shuru turned around.

"That snack store, it’s invested by your Tianci, right?"

Through the glass, one could see that opposite the small bowl shop was a chain snack brand.

"Yes."

"The spokesperson on the poster, have you seen her?" Shi Qianxi asked.

"She lives in the same neighborhood as me."

Li Shuru turned her gaze away.

Pei Yunxi.

Who in All Shen Zhou doesn’t know her?

Not to mention the domestic sphere, this top-tier female star represents Eastern aesthetics and has already taken the international stage.

"Have you met her in person?" Shi Qianxi continued to ask.

Li Shuru looked at her.

"She’s from my company; Jiang Chen signed her."

Shi Qianxi explained and then added something shocking, "I don’t know if Jiang Chen has ever mentioned to you, and probably he didn’t say it, but my dad used to quite like her."

Li Shuru’s eyes couldn’t help but widen slightly.

That’s quite a bombshell of gossip.

Sure.

She didn’t speak rashly.

"My thoughts were very simple back then. I couldn’t let anyone destroy my family, so I thought about signing her, keeping her under my nose. Later, my dad got into trouble..."

It seems Miss Shi really treated the other party like a sister, truly being completely candid.

"My dad doesn’t have any thoughts about her now, but I’ve discovered that Jiang Chen seems to be..."

Miss Shi, apparently belatedly, seemed to finally comprehend a bit.

"Seems to be what?"

Li Shuru’s lashes slightly trembled, as if she still didn’t understand, despite the other party’s meaning being so clear.

"I think Jiang Chen imposed some shady rules on her."

"..."

Turns out Chairwoman Shi is indeed extraordinary, continuing naturally, "Men indulging in these antics isn’t a big deal, but she is Pei Yunxi, who almost dazzled my dad at that time."

Quite profound.

Just a bit out of touch with how others think.

Whether or not it’s a well-intentioned warning, as the official girlfriend, hearing such words, how much pressure would one feel?

Really lacked thorough consideration.

"From her debut until now, Pei Yunxi hasn’t seemed to have any scandals." Li Shuru still managed to remain calm and could think rationally.

"You’re not a fan of hers, are you?"

Shi Qianxi chuckled, "You know the situation in the entertainment industry, you should also be aware. Not just the entertainment industry, take the dance circle, your university major, you should understand. Of course, I admit, Pei Yunxi is quite special. At first, she could refuse my dad, but if it were someone younger, it might have been different. In their field, either their own background is strong enough, or they find a solid backing. There’s no other way."

Li Shuru remained silent.

"That game Jiang Chen invested in at Dong University is also endorsed by Pei Yunxi, right? Speaking of which, they have known each other for a long time."

Is this how you eat a meal?

Does this even make anyone want to eat?

"Shuru, blindly enduring or waiting is of no benefit, just like doing business. You’re having a meal with me right now, but your competitors might be working hard."

That analogy is indeed too fitting.

Just whose invitation was it to go shopping today?

"Moreover."

"Pei Yunxi is really nothing, just a female star. Do you know who, apart from our mainland capital, is involved in the action against Dongying this time?"

"Who?"

Li Shuru, like a listener, a competent listener.

"The He Family from Haojiang."

"Haojiang is also part of Shenzhou, and the He Family is also a part of Shenzhou."

Shi Qianxi nodded, "That’s correct, but the person driving the He Family to participate in this financial war and leading it is the Fourth Miss of the He Family, last year’s woman of the year in the news, the executive director of He Group, the director of Haojiang Tourism Development Co., Ltd., and the founder and chairman of Heisha Asia-Pacific Group, He Yihui."

"Do you want to hear about what’s going on between Jiang Chen and her?"
