Tianci Capital.
CEO’s office.
Jiang Chen listened attentively, expecting some serious talk, only to hear the next words leap out: “Take care of your health.”
He hadn’t quite grasped the meaning at first, but then he saw the other guy eyeing his waist, and Jiang Chen couldn’t help but curse, “Get lost.”
He usurped the throne, sitting in the boss’s chair.
The suit-clad Luo Peng leaned casually against the desk.
Really though.
Even though he had just graduated, the well-off Young Master Luo indeed had an extraordinary charisma.
Right now, he was all dressed up in proper business attire, perfectly embodying the image of a business wunderkind, completely obscuring the fact that he was just a recent graduate.
“Jiang Chen, you’ve kept your cards close to your chest.
We shared a room for so long, how come I never noticed before?”
Luo Peng wrapped his arms around himself, talking to himself.
“I’ve slept with you?”
“Get lost!” Luo Peng laughed and cursed, “I meant we were roommates.”
“You said back then, when you were with Ai Qian, how faithful you were.
Look at you now.
Could it be that Ai Qian unlocked your governor and conception vessels?”
He looked genuinely puzzled and confused.
Jiang Chen turned a deaf ear and picked up a document from the desk to skim through.
“Come on, what’s there to look at?
No outsiders are here, no need to play the responsible boss.”
Luo Peng teased without any restraint.
“Why shouldn’t I look?
What if you’re cooking the books?”
Jiang Chen didn’t even lift his head.
Luo Peng laughed rather than getting angry, “Cook the books?
I’d need the skill for that.
I’m just a CEO, do you think I have that much power?
With Xiaobai managing the money, do you think he would collude with me if I tried to be sneaky?
He’s always been closer to you, Brother Chen, than to me.”
Jiang Chen just smiled and said nothing.
Luo Peng folded his arms and leaned on the desk.
“In this period, we have invested in twelve key projects, all of which we chose together after thorough research.
Most are not in East Sea.
Do you know while you were enjoying yourself abroad, I was the one toiling away, traveling to and fro in the countryside?”
“You’ve worked hard.”
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Young Master Luo always spoke like this, master of rhetoric.
It wasn’t necessary to take it too seriously.
“Heh.”
Luo Peng shook his head and chuckled but didn’t continue to seek praise.
Brothers, after all.
No need to quibble over such things.
He straightened his body and said earnestly, “Speaking of which, how on earth did you manage to bring Kim Joohyun back?
If I were YM Company, I would never let go no matter what.”
Jiang Chen, of course, wouldn’t discuss Kim Joohyun’s dark past, even with a good brother, out of respect for another person’s privacy.
“Korea’s artist training has already formed a well-oiled assembly line, and to YM Company, she isn’t that important.
If needed, they could just push another person to stardom and that would solve it.”
“You make it sound so easy.”
Luo Peng disagreed, “That’s Kim Joohyun, known as Korea’s new generation first goddess of beauty.”
In his excitement, he couldn’t help but blurt out an expletive, “Damn, you are something else.”
Jiang Chen looked up, “Mr.
Luo, mind your image.”
“Oh, cut it out.”
Luo Peng said with a smile, “But you should take it easy.
You know, those ancient emperors always feared a ‘fire in the backyard.'”
Jiang Chen ignored the remark, his hand flipping through a project proposal, which suddenly came to a stop.
“Anxin Loan?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Luo Peng glanced at the proposal and explained nonchalantly, “This project was suggested by Xiaobai.
Although it’s not profitable, I think, ‘In poverty, an individual thrives; in wealth, a nation thrives,’ so it’s like doing a good deed.”
Jiang Chen read through carefully.
“In metropolises like East Sea, naturally, there’s not much of a market.
The main business scope of Anxin Loan is focused on third and fourth-tier cities, aiming for college students from poor families.
It’s tough when a penny stumps a hero.
College students lack income and inevitably encounter financial difficulties.
We’ve all seen situations like this.
Anxin Loan can solve their urgent problems,” Luo Peng continued.
“Nowadays, loan apps are a dime a dozen.
Xiaobai mentioned, one of his high school classmates, because of borrowing money online, and it wasn’t even much, something like ten or twenty thousand yuan, but it seems his family situation wasn’t great, he didn’t dare to tell them, and eventually due to the pressure to repay, guess what happened in the end?”
Jiang Chen looked up.
Luo Peng met his gaze, “He committed suicide.
During class.
In the dormitory.
Jumped from the eighth floor.”
Jiang Chen’s expression remained calm as he raised the proposal in his hand.
“And you still invested?”
Luo Peng stood up straight.
“The Anxin Loan we invested in is not like those predatory high-interest loans.
Take a closer look.”
Jiang Chen continued to browse.
“We were students too, and in business, one can’t only chase profits.
Anxin Loan has an annual interest rate of just 7%, which means for ten thousand borrowed, the daily interest is less than two yuan.
Do you know how ridiculous the interest rates of other online loans are?”
Luo Peng was set to launch into a lecture, only to be stopped by Jiang Chen’s simple response, “I know.”
Young Master Luo paused, “You know?”
Jiang Chen offered no explanation.
Luo Peng adjusted his tone, “In the market, Anxin Loan’s interest rate is arguably the lowest.
Furthermore, to prevent users from overspending and ending up unable to repay, and to avoid tragedies like Xiaobai’s classmate’s, we grant low credit limits, usually just a few thousand yuan.
Our aim has always been to help in emergencies, not to induce students to indulge in luxury spending.”
Jiang Chen remained silent, finishing reading the information about Anxin Loan.
