After Ye Mubai left, Du Jiuyuan unlocked her phone to check her contact list. She definitely couldn’t afford such a large sum of money, but she could get someone to invest some funds into her company. Her slender fingers stopped moving and she sent a message over.

Du Jiuyuan texted, “Is Superstar Lu free tonight?”

When Lu Ziang received the WeChat message, he was shooting an advertisement by the pool and almost dropped his phone into the pool. The next second, he sent a screenshot of the message to Ji Jingchen.

Lu Ziang texted, “Jingchen, I swear I don’t have anything to do with her.”

Two minutes later, Ji Jingchen replied, “Go ahead, promise her.”

Lu Ziang responded, “Are you trying to catch me in the act? I can’t afford a scandal. My current girlfriend has a huge fan group.”

Ji Jingchen replied, “Get lost!”

…

The two of them agreed to meet at the Civic Bar at 8 pm.

When Du Jiuyuan arrived, Lu Ziang hadn’t arrived yet. The waiter took her to Lu Ziang’s usual private room and asked her what she wanted to drink. Du Jiuyuan ordered a simple cocktail to quench her thirst. After waiting for half an hour, the door of the private room opened. Lu Ziang smiled and walked to the sofa to sit down.

“I’m sorry I was a little busy.”

Du Jiuyuan curved her lips. “It’s okay. I know you’re a busy man.”

Lu Ziang frowned. “Don’t smile at me. When you smile at me, I get nervous.”

Du Jiuyuan was utterly speechless when she heard that. She thought to herself, ‘What’s wrong with you? If I don’t smile at you, what do you want me to do? Cry at you instead?’

Du Jiuyuan ordered some wine and a fruit plate. She drank a few sips with Lu Ziang before getting to the point.

“Do you know BLACK?”

“I do. It’s just a very popular brand.”

Du Jiuyuan poured him some wine. “They’re going to establish themselves in Hong Kong City soon. They’ll be looking for a partner.”

Lu Ziang immediately understood what she meant. “Regarding this matter, I’ll recommend you to them when the time comes.”

Du Jiuyuan raised her eyebrows and explained, “What I mean is that we can both win.”

“You want us to cooperate?”

“You want to become their spokesperson, and I want to have a cooperation with them. It’s just that I’m short of funds.” Du Jiuyuan smiled faintly.

Lu Ziang almost spat out the wine that he had just drunk. “It seems like you’re treating me like a s*cker!”

“Don’t say that. We’re in a cooperative relationship. If I get you to be their spokesperson, won’t it be a win-win situation?”

“Du Jiuyuan, why didn’t I realize that you were so smart before? You weren’t pretending to be stupid before, were you?”

Du Jiuyuan raised her eyebrows. “When have I ever said that I was stupid? It’s you who think that I’m stupid since I came from the countryside.”

“…”

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Du Jiuyuan continued, “You know my ability. I definitely won’t put myself in a disadvantageous position.”

“May I ask, Miss Du, how much do you want me to invest?” Lu Ziang was obviously tempted and asked tentatively.

When Du Jiuyuan saw his attitude, she smiled lightly and said, “Not much, not much. 100 million yuan is fine.”

“D*mn it!” This time, he really spat his wine out.

‘100 million yuan?! Du Jiuyuan really thinks so highly of herself!’

“Du Jiuyuan, do you think I’m a stupid rich man? Are you planning to not pay a single cent and come up with a 100 million business deal with me?”

“If I take up your time to discuss any business deals less than 100 million yuan, it’ll be such a waste of your time. After my divorce, I forked out all my funds to establish myself in the industry and I still have to support such a large studio. I really can’t fork out any more funds,” Du Jiuyuan said solemnly. She spoke very seriously so that no one could see any flaws in her words.

“Don’t overthink it. Anyway, sooner or later, you’ll have to remarry Ji Jingchen. When the time comes, what is 100 million yuan for you…” Lu Ziang sighed in his heart and then said nothing after that.

Suddenly, he saw Du Jiuyuan’s face turn cold, and saw her pleasant expression from before disappeared.

“This is the specific dividends and related plans for this deal. Today, I’m here to speak to you as the Director of Yuan Hua Studio. It has nothing to do with Ji Jingchen. Let’s not talk about any personal feelings. Moreover, there’s no way I’ll remarry him!” Du Jiuyuan’s attitude was very firm.

After she finished speaking, the door of the private room in the bar was pushed open. Ji Jingchen was dressed in a black suit with dark patterns. He didn’t wear a tie and walked in with big strides.

Du Jiuyuan rolled her eyes at Lu Ziang. It was obvious that there was a villain who had tipped Ji Jingchen off! Lu Ziang shrugged with an innocent look on his face. I only told him that you were looking for me. I didn’t tell him the location or time.

Ji Jingchen sat down beside Du Jiuyuan and said, “You guys can proceed with your discussion!”

Du Jiuyuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Ji Jingchen picked up Du Jiuyuan’s wine glass and took a sip. No matter how stupid Lu Ziang was, he knew that if he were to fork out money, he would have to eventually scram home for a blind date.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have any ready cash recently. I really can’t afford it.”

Ji Jingchen said to Du Jiuyuan, “He doesn’t have as much money as I do. Can I invest in this project?”

“No!” Du Jiuyuan directly refused.

Ji Jingchen lowered his attitude and coaxed her, “I’ll only invest money. I won’t interfere with anything else.”

“No. Since Mr. Lu isn’t willing to invest, I’ll leave first.”

Du Jiuyuan got up and was about to leave.

Ji Jingchen held her hand and asked, “Yuanyuan, are you still angry about last night?”
