Recently, Wang Yan and Chu Xin didn’t have much contact. Each had their own things to do, and each had their own small circle of friends. Strictly speaking, it was very difficult to find an overlap between the two’s lives.

Basically, it was the extremely bored Chu Xin who sent a WeChat message: “What are you doing? Come out and play with me!”

​ 

Then Wang Yan replied: “Thanks for the invitation. I’m in Beijing, I just got off the plane…”

After that, they could just chat for a bit.

In addition, this sister often sent messages to the young master in the middle of the night. She was either drinking or on the way to drink. Her life was extremely boring.

The amazing thing was that she never drank too much. Occasionally, she would send out a small video, and her sisters would dance around crazily while she would measure herself with scissors.

Wine God?

Casually scrolling through her wechat moments, Wang Yan could not find anything related to work. Her life was like a small train, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling, strolling…

Seeing her, Wang Yan felt like she was seeing Miss He Miaomiao five years later.

Sigh, the days of being rich and beautiful are really not something that ordinary people can live. You still have to rely on me to save you.

Therefore, before boarding the plane at noon, Wang Yan replied to the message she sent in the middle of the night yesterday. He said simply, “I’m returning to Shanghai in the afternoon.”

She immediately became very excited. “Let’s have dinner together tonight!”

What are you so excited about?

Is there no one to play with you in Shanghai?

The young master was quite puzzled, but it was a good feeling to be valued by others. He happily changed into a clean casual outfit and went for the meeting.

When they reached Jin Mao, it took a lot of effort to park the car. She kept urging them.

In the end, when they went upstairs to find a place, it was not her. Xu Jiao was sitting next to her.

Oh? Am I thinking too much?

Wang Yan greeted them without batting an eyelid.

“Sister Jiao, long time no see. You look so good!”

“Sister Xin Xin, you look so pretty today.”

Chu Xin was wearing a tight-fitting shirt that revealed her waist. The white color originally made her look fat, but it made her breasts look round.

A pair of tight-fitting jeans perfectly stuck to her curves. From narrow to wide, there wasn’t a single bit of fat on her hourglass figure.

Beautiful, she was extremely beautiful, but the problem was… it was January!

Wang Yan felt cold just by looking at her outfit. He didn’t know how she could endure it.

Women were really cruel to themselves!

“How is she so beautiful? Isn’t she usually beautiful?”Chu Xin looked for trouble casually with a smile.

How could this be difficult for Wang Yan the Flirt?

With a light glance, she immediately found the point of praise. “The clear water brings out the hibiscus, and the natural embellishment of beauty. Xin Xin, your bare face looks even better than when you’re wearing makeup, just like a teenage girl.”

“Pfft!”

Without waiting for Chu Xin’s reply, Xu Jiao burst out laughing.

“Without, without makeup? Hahahaha!”

Chu Xin also hugged Xu Jiao, laughing so hard that she staggered back and forth — the way he leaned forward was especially domineering and deep.

“Little brother, you’re so cute…”

What’s wrong with me?

Young Master Wang was stunned for a rare moment, feeling that his image as a flirt had been severely insulted.

When he was finally done laughing, Xu Jiao gently touched Chu Xin’s face and could not help but laugh. “She doesn’t have any makeup? Her makeup takes twice as long to put on compared to mine!”

Ah?

What the hell?

Wang Yan was shocked. He looked at Chu Xin carefully and was dumbfounded.

She was an especially fresh and natural little beauty. Wasn’t she not wearing any makeup?

The more confused Wang Yan was, the more satisfied Chu Xin became.

“You’re such a good little brother! You’ve always been focused on your studies and work. You’ve never really flirted with girls, right? Such a pure and innocent little straight man… Hehe!”

Xu Jiao bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she slammed the table. “When I went out, I put on a layer of powder, painted my eyebrows, and painted my lips. I finished it in five minutes, but in the end, I look like I put on a lot of makeup. Chu Xin introduced this little b*tch of a makeup with four layers in total, and it took her half an hour just to clean her face. In the end, she looks like she’s wearing no makeup… f*ck, where’s the justice in this?”

Wang Yan pitifully, helplessly, and weakly shrunk back, not daring to say a word.

Chu Xin happily teased, “You haven’t even seen fake makeup before? You, an actual young master, aren’t qualified to see makeup? Could it be that you’re still a virgin? Wahahaha!”

Virgin your mum!

Wang Yan ridiculed in his heart, but his expression became a little innocent, ignorant, and shy. “Ah? I really haven’t seen you in a long time…”

Chu Xin’s eyes became even brighter, and there was an inexplicable emotion flowing in them.

If one said that Wang Yan had a domineering aura when he was in his car God state, it would make people unable to take their eyes off him.

Then, the current little puppy Wang Yan was even more amiable. It made her unable to resist the overflowing maternal love from within her, and she wanted to hug him and ravage him… ah, pooh, pooh, playing with him… ah, pooh, pooh, loving him a little.

As for the best actor Wang… He pretended to be pure with confidence.

Pooh, pooh, I’m pure. I’ve never seen makeup without makeup before!

Liu Li, Lin Weiwei, He Miaomiao, Fu Yushi, they were all young girls who were not even 20 years old. Who would wear makeup like that?

After simply washing their faces and going out, they were already invincible in terms of beauty.

Therefore, Wang Yan’s reaction was extremely realistic, making Chu Xin feel especially cute.

Xu Jiao frowned. “Car God, you can’t be like this. You’re so innocent. How are you going to get a partner in the future?”

Chu Xin immediately retorted, “Yes! Why Not? I think it’s good. Stinky brother, you should be a loyal man and not be a playboy. Do you hear me?”

The two beauties had very different reactions. Of course, Wang Yan had to pick the right one to listen to.

Ignoring Chu Xin, he nodded solemnly at Xu Jiao, “Thank you for your concern, Sister Jiao. I will work hard.”

“Pfft!”

Xu Jiao’s laughter tolerance was so low that she burst out laughing again.

Chu Xin was dumbstruck. He felt that this damned child was really infuriating.

However, after such a round of nonsense, their feelings quickly became closer. Student Little Wang looked like a good man, but in fact, he could be both soft and hard. He had a deep set of tricks up his sleeves.

Chu Xin scolded him for a while before taking the initiative to introduce the dishes to Wang Yan.

“Their steak and cod are both good. You’re a boy, so you’ll have more strength after eating more meat.”

Xu Jiao’s face was full of smiles, and her tone was very long. “Ah boy… then you should eat more oysters! Car God, did you understand your new sister’s hint? You have to have strength… hahaha!”

Where did she mean to have strength?

Why did she need strength?

Wang Yan cracked his eyes. He didn’t pretend to be ignorant, just lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yes, I’m still a child. I’m really embarrassed!

Chu Xin was teased until her face turned red, and she pinched her best friend. “Damn b*tch, shut up!”

To be honest, this reaction was a little too intense.

Wang Yan wondered, is new sister so pure? That’s not right, she seemed to be able to take a joke in the past?

In fact, that was the sequela left behind by the car God, Wang Dingfei, after the last race.

Wang Yan did not know how tragic the situation was at that time, but it left a deep impression on Chu Xin.

Even if a long time had passed, she still could not walk out of it. Just now, Xu Jiao’s words brought back memories, and her heart suddenly rippled.

She pulled down her hair to cover her ears that were still red and called for the waiter to order.

This was an Italian restaurant called Cucina. The environment was elegant and the decoration was exquisite.

As for the Italian food, those who knew the trade all knew that it all depended on the quality of the ingredients themselves. The things made by good chefs and bad chefs were all the same.

A large amount of tomatoes and ketchup were thrown down. There was no difference in the taste of red-sweet, red-braised, and pan-fried food.

As for pizza…

Wouldn’t the whole egg pancake with sausage and sauce with some chopped scallions and coriander smell good?

One sausage and two eggs, it was so good!

Wang Yan didn’t want to challenge the complicated sweet and sour taste, so he obediently ordered steak and cod as the main dishes.

He naturally skipped the raw oysters.

He was joking, he had to know his limits.

Then… Xu Jiao ordered eight large raw oysters angrily and pushed the whole plate in front of Wang Yan.

Then let’s eat!

What’s there to be afraid of?

Seeing Wang Yan eating one mouthful after another, the two beauties’ appetites were also greatly boosted. Each of them actually finished half a plate of spaghetti.

As they chatted all over the place, it was inevitable that they would talk about Wang Yan’s recent busy schedule.

When she heard that they were shooting a movie, Chu Xin’s eyes lit up, but Xu Jiao was not interested.

“How interesting it is to shoot a Movie!”

“Only by filming a movie can we earn a few million dollars!”

“If we film it well, it’ll be a huge profit, alright?”

“What a huge profit! 300 million yuan worth of profits will be doubled to 600 million yuan. We only get to make one movie in a year. If we lose money even just once or twice, it’ll be a waste of time. Isn’t it tiring?”

The BFFs started bickering again.

Wang Yan interrupted, “Sister Jiao’s family is in finance, right? I’ve heard someone mention it before.”

“Yes.”

Xu Jiao nodded. “My old man is into private equity.”

Chu Xin gave him a thumbs up. “Uncle Xu, that’s right! During the stock market crash last year, I made quite a lot of pocket money, hehe!”

“You can still make money from the stock market crash? Isn’t it forbidden to hoard stocks in China?”

Wang Yan was a little confused.

There was a course in economics called ‘Investment and Securities’, but that was a sophomore year. Wang Yan had read books on his own and had yet to get involved in that area. He had put in a lot of effort into macro studies and had a very limited understanding of the market.

Xu Jiao explained patiently, “The newly introduced stock index futures in the country can be hoarded. The stock market crash last year was a major turning point.”

“Oh, I should learn more about it later…”

Wang Yan nodded thoughtfully and asked casually, “Has the market fallen to its limit? Can you buy stocks now?”

Xu Jiao did not answer but asked instead, “I remember that you studied economics, right? Do you want to develop and learn more about this area?”

“I don’t think so. I just want to know more about it.”

While I’m at it, I’ll see if there’s a chance to earn some money.

The young master muttered to himself again.

With the system around, engaging in finance was a very boring thing. It was second to engaging in real estate.

One was a money game, and the other was the exploitation of resources. It was not beneficial to scientific development and technological progress at all.

Wang Yan did not want to waste his limited youth and energy on these two low-value industries. It was too boring.

However, he was especially short of money right now. If there was a chance, it would not hurt to take a gamble.

Other people might be addicted to the fast money in the financial market, but Wang Yan would not. If he wanted to play a number game, it would be exciting to gasp for breath while looking at the panel.

Xu Jiao stared at Wang Yan for a while and pondered for a moment before speaking.

“If you want to do this, I really can’t ask my old man to accept a disciple. If you just want to play, then there is a good opportunity now. I can help you earn some pocket money.”

Hearing her say this, Wang Yan was very touched, but he didn’t take her seriously.

He smiled and waved his hand, “Sister Jiao, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don’t lack ten or twenty million pocket money, so I won’t give you any trouble.”

“I know you don’t lack the ten or twenty million.”

Xu Jiao comfortably leaned back in her chair, proudly raising her chin.

“How about one or two hundred million?”

!!!

Wang Yan was stunned.

Were all the daughters of private equity bigwigs this arrogant?

What shocked the young master was not the money, but the way Xu Jiao acted as if she could easily earn it for others.

Chu Xin was shocked and gave her a push. “Don’t make wild promises. Didn’t Uncle Xu forbid you from participating in his investment plan?”

Xu Jiao shook her head. “There’s no need to beg my old man this time. I know what they’re doing.”

Then, she gave Chu Xin a disdainful look and complained, “Otherwise, why do you think I’m asking you for money? Us sisters have pooled together a total of 50 million, why would I joke around with so much money? !”

Chu Xin was stunned. “Ah? Didn’t we not make that much investing yet?”

“We haven’t made it yet. We have just built the warehouse, do you understand?”

Of course Chu Xin understood. She just didn’t expect for that investment she mentioned to be done secretly behind Uncle Xu’s back.

“Damn! Aren’t you being too bold? Even if the direction is right, what if the timing isn’t right?”

“Don’t worry!”

Xu Jiao waved her hand nonchalantly.

“Do you think my old man doesn’t know? I just built 200 positions, and those organizations have already checked my information thoroughly.”

“I’m using my old man’s traders. Otherwise, do you think I’m crazy enough to play with those organizations?”

“My old man doesn’t talk to me, so he actually tacitly admitted that I used his name!”

“It’s a waste not to make money. Anyway, the opponents have enough money.”

“How about it, Little Wang? As long as you don’t scare people with too much money, I’ll take you for a game!”

“Thank you, Sister Jiao.”

Wang Yan first thanked her, then his eyes narrowed as he began to consider two things.

Firstly, could Xu Jiao be trusted?

Secondly, what would I have to pay?

If these two problems could be solved, this could be quite worthwhile and interesting.
