I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 43 - Do not say that I did not warn you in advance

43: Do not say that I did not warn you in advance

43: Do not say that I did not warn you in advance

Cold River Lone Shadow: @DragonSoar, Director Lin, thanks.

The other party didn’t reply immediately.

That makes sense.

Big shots like a Sifang Group director don’t just manage thousands of tasks daily, they definitely wouldn’t be glued to their phones all day either.

Jiang Chen put his phone back into his pocket and continued towards the bedroom.

Lin Rilang.

Forty-two years old this year.

Graduated from Huaqing University’s School of Architecture, worked at several companies before being hired by Sifang Group, then climbed the ranks quickly.

With outstanding achievements and solid capabilities, he gradually became a prominent figure in the real estate industry that couldn’t be ignored.

If he went to inspect some third- or fourth-tier cities, he was basically received personally by the local leaders.

Facing such a big Buddha, it wasn’t at all surprising that Bai Haoran voluntarily mutilated himself as a way to apologize.

He who understands the times is a wise man.

If you’re in the jianghu and don’t understand the principle of knowing when to bow and when to stand tall, it’s certainly hard to meet a good end. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

It really was an unintended success.

Jiang Chen reflected to himself.

If it weren’t for a series of coincidences that led him to spend millions on gifts for Li Shuru, enabling him to enter this ’emperor’ group chat, he really wouldn’t have known how to deal with this crisis.

Lin Rilang might not even know who Bai Haoran is; perhaps he just asked around a bit, and that was enough to back Bai Haoran into a corner, forcing him to take drastic measures.

Is this the power of authority?

According to online information, not counting connections, social status, industry influence…

and other external factors, Lin Rilang’s net worth should be around ten to twenty billion.

But what about himself?

A good ten trillion, equal to ten thousand Lin Rilangs!

Of course.

Jiang Chen knew that wasn’t the correct way to compare, and perhaps one day he could surpass Lin Rilang by a great margin.

But for now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he wasn’t even worthy of carrying Lin Rilang’s shoes.

The road ahead is long.

“Chen, why is there blood on you?”

Upon returning to the dorm, Bai Zheli, who had a keen eye for detail, quickly noticed the not-so-obvious bloodstain on Jiang Chen’s cuff.

“Jiang Chen, are you injured?”

Li Shao asked with concern.

“No, a friend of mine had an accident, got hit by a car, so I went to the hospital to check on him.”

Jiang Chen glanced at his sleeve, which indeed bore some bloodstains—clearly, they were not his own but must have come from Bai Haoran.

Although it seemed shocking at the time, Bai Haoran wasn’t seriously hurt.

True to someone who’s been in life-threatening situations often, his self-injury was deliberate and precise, and after simple bandaging, he almost didn’t need to be hospitalized.

“Chen, you have friends outside too?”

“A colleague from a place I worked at before.”

Jiang Chen casually lied.

“It’s not serious, is it?”

Li Shao inquired.

“No big deal, just a minor injury.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, took off his clothes, and changed.

“Where’s Luo Peng?”

“He went to buy food.”

Before you knew it, the whole afternoon had passed.

“I asked him to get me a portion too.”

Jiang Chen took out his phone to make a call.

————

In the dorm room.

The four young men pushed their chairs together, and Luo Peng even brought beer.

As they were eating, Luo Peng’s phone rang.

He took it out and glanced at it, his face immediately turning into a frown.

“Fuck, that was pretty quick.”

“Bro Luo, what’s up?”

Bai Zheli asked curiously.

“Didn’t Jiang Chen and I sign up for the mountaineering club at noon?

The notification’s come through, and I’ve been kicked out; didn’t make the cut.”

Li Shao smiled wryly, “Didn’t you say you’re tight with the president of the mountaineering club?

They couldn’t even give you that bit of face?”

Bai Zheli also wore a look of schadenfreude.

“Fuck, I’m going to curse him out!”

Luo Peng grabbed a can, guzzled a bottle of beer, then didn’t bother with his meal and started making a call with his phone.

“Hu Heng, you son of a bitch, I stood in line for ages.

Do you think I’m desperate to join your shitty club?

If it wasn’t for my buddy, I wouldn’t go even if you begged me!”

Obviously, being rejected by the mountaineering club made Luo Peng feel like he lost face.

“What’s the situation?”

The president of the mountaineering club sounded utterly confused on the other end.

“Quit playing dumb, the message has already been sent!”

“Pengzi, did you actually go to register?

I seriously had no clue.”

The president of the mountaineering club, Hu Heng, replied with a bitter smile, “I never saw your application form, and I’m not the one responsible for the review process.”

“Passing the buck, huh?”

“I’m honestly not passing the buck, Pengzi.

Do you think if I had seen your application form, I wouldn’t give you that bit of face?

I’m not managing the recruitment this time.”

“Then who is in charge?

Li Shuru?

Are you the president, or is she the president?”

“If she’s willing, I’ll hand it over to her immediately.”

Hu Heng replied frankly, then laughed and said, “Pengzi, calm down.

How about I have someone send you a form so you can fill it out again?”

“Go to hell!”

After venting his anger, Luo Peng hung up the phone.

“Luo Bro, I believe you now.

You’re definitely tight with the president of the mountaineering club.”

Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses with all seriousness.

Luo Peng took another gulp of beer.

“This has nothing to do with him; it’s definitely Li Shuru stirring up trouble.

She abuses her slight attractiveness to behave outrageously.

If I were Hu Heng, I would have cleaned house long ago and driven such a scourge out of the club!”

“I heard exactly because of Li Shuru, the mountaineering club’s recruitment this time was unprecedentedly successful.

If you were the president and tried to kick her out, I’m afraid you would trigger a revolt.

Then it wouldn’t be you driving them out; it’d be them driving you out.”

Li Shao hit the nail on the head, describing the situation vividly and incisively.

Luo Peng was immediately rendered speechless.

Jiang Chen sat to the side, snickering.

“Don’t laugh.

Any moment now, the message will definitely pop up on your phone too.”

Luo Peng “reminded” without any good humor.

As expected, no sooner had Luo Peng’s voice faded did Jiang Chen’s phone ping.

“Tsk, see?

Told you.”

Luo Peng smiled bitterly, as expected.

Both of them had applied together, filled out the forms together, so if one was rejected, both would surely be alike.

Jiang Chen pulled out his phone and didn’t really harbor any hope for the outcome.

After all, if Li Shuru wouldn’t let Luo Peng slide, how could she possibly let him?

He even took out his phone as a mere formality, glancing at it with the intention of putting it right back in his pocket, but then he froze suddenly.

That didn’t seem right.

Jiang Chen looked closely once more.

“What are you looking at?

Stop.

Even if you stare a hole through it, you can’t change a thing.

Come on, here’s to one more.”

Luo Peng lifted his can.

“I got in.”

“What?”

Luo Peng hadn’t heard him clearly.

Jiang Chen lifted his head.

“I passed the mountaineering club’s review.”

Luo Peng and the others were all taken aback.

“Jiang Chen, I know you must be feeling terrible, but you have to accept the reality…”

After a moment of silence, Luo Peng began to offer long-winded comfort, but before he could finish, Bai Zheli, who had grabbed Jiang Chen’s phone to check the message, exclaimed, “Chen Bro really got through!”

Luo Peng’s expression froze, disbelieving, and he promptly snatched the phone away.

Jiang Chen, we are honoured to inform you that you have officially become a member of the mountaineering club.

We hope to journey together and experience the beauty of the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas.

Luo Peng was dumbfounded.

How could this be possible?!!!
