My Life with Narration

Chapter 700: Chapter 691: Guys, Who Can Relate!

He never expected that what Shen Yi was worried about was actually this.

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable. After all, in his eyes, Shen Yi was like a hexagonal warrior, with no weaknesses in figure and appearance, education and intelligence, financial strength, and personality. Naturally, she wouldn’t fear others’ threats, especially not the pressure from the same gender.

Even with someone like the landlady, she wouldn’t feel any pressure. That’s because they had no conflict, plus the landlady had kids, so she posed no threat to Shen Yi. Furthermore, Shen Yi’s own strong confidence made her handle it with ease.

Moreover, when it comes to herself, she’s fearless. However, now that Su Qing is involved, it’s as if a weak spot has been opened up in her armor, and this time, someone is specifically targeting this weak spot. No wonder she feels the pressure, leading to mental exhaustion.

Of course, Su Qing was also very surprised. He was a bit curious about what kind of foreign woman could put so much pressure on Aunt Shen, as it wasn’t something an ordinary person could accomplish.

Moreover, according to Shen Yi’s description and the hints from the narration, this Shavanna and Shen Yi had the kind of relationship where they smile on the surface but internally curse each other.

It’s not that there’s deep hatred, just that women have a lot of undercover dealings, as they say, one mountain can’t contain two tigers, and kings cannot see eye to eye. That’s roughly the gist of it.

The key point was that Shen Yi’s opponent turned out to be a foreign woman, which was truly unexpected for him. Why, are there no worthy opponents within the country?

In any case, Su Qing coaxed Shen Yi for quite a while, and only then did her expression look much better.

Just like that, two days passed in a flash.

Wang Xing got pretty drunk with Lin Miaomiao that night and had a good sleep. He also received a call from his dad, as expected, his aunt came to their home again to complain.

The hint in her words suggested she wanted to borrow money. However, with the leverage of the ’Foolish Monarch’ and the preventative measures he took, neither Old Su nor his mom, Zhou Hui, responded this time.

And due to Su Qing’s uncompromising stance, this time his aunt didn’t dare to borrow money outright. She just came to apologize, saying they had some unpleasant moments last time.

To these, the elders gracefully responded that it was okay, and said kids don’t understand things, shifting the responsibility away. They all remained relatives, but anyone could discern the implied distance and politeness in their words.

Until she left, his aunt never mentioned borrowing money again. It must be said, that the ten thousand gold coins to shut her up worked wonders.

If they could borrow money, Lin Hu could get out in a few months, at most half a year. But if they can’t borrow any, it would be more than a year, and the exact situation depends on the police’s finalization of the case before any leniency from the prosecutor’s office can be expected.

As for those with lesser charges and families with resources, those people were already working their connections to see if they could secure bail. That’s not something he needs to worry about.

Regarding Li Zijun’s relatives, he hadn’t heard any news, given he hadn’t been to the police station since that day.

But today, he received good news; the movie’s box office earnings had been settled.

Two people in suits arrived from the company, identifying themselves as people from the production side, saying the box office earnings had reached them, and now it was time for investors like Su Qing to get their share.

Because the amount was huge, even splitting it required his personal signature. Since he wasn’t in the capital, these people came to Jiang City.

Brush, brush, brush

After confirming the amount on the contract was correct, Su Qing didn’t hesitate to sign his name. Soon, Hu Xiaoling from the capital called to say more than three hundred million had been deposited into the company’s account. Thus, the bulk of the movie’s earnings had been divided.

As for the remaining derivative income and even overseas box office, those would be slowly divided later.

"President Su, a pleasure to work with you. Our President Li said that when you have time, you must visit Shanghai to enjoy the hospitality," a middle-aged man in his forties said with a smile, extending his hand.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing also extended his hand generously and smiled, "A pleasure to work with you, you’re too kind. Please extend my regards to President Li."

"Certainly, President Su, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave. There are things at the company that need handling."

"In that case, I won’t keep you any longer!"

Soon, amidst a series of polite exchanges, Su Qing’s wallet became even heftier. As for the so-called President Li, he knew of the person but had never met him. Simply put, he was a bit of a loner, although none of them were simple.

"Woohoo~~ Liftoff!!" After the visitors left, Su Qing clenched his fist and shouted, causing even Shen Yi to share in the happiness.

"Good brother, you’ve made so much money, is there any share for your sister? Just now, I earned you a lot of face, being your boss personally serving as your secretary, providing tea and water. You should give me some hard work fee!" Shen Yi pressed him into the chair, leaning forward with an imposing presence.

Indeed, just now, for his sake, Shen Yi had given up her seat, allowing Su Qing to put on a good show.

"Good work deserves a reward!"

"Twenty million and one hundred, twenty million is your principal, the hundred is your master’s tip!"

Shen Yi: (╬￣皿￣)

"President Su is really generous, just throwing me off with a hundred bucks? No way, for twenty million for such a long time, don’t you realize how much the interest is?"

"Then how much do you want?"

"Not less than five hundred!"

"I’ll give you a thousand, the extra five hundred for a shoulder massage!" Su Qing waved his hand grandly, laughing like a true big spender, totally like a nouveau riche.

Of course, this was the two of them joking, who would really care about a few hundred like that? And Su Qing immediately instructed Hu Xiaoling to transfer twenty million to Shen Yi.

Even though they were currently in a romantic relationship, money matters still needed clarity, as they weren’t married yet.

Soon, Director Wang called. As soon as the call connected, both burst into over a minute of hearty laughter, filled with unrestrained happiness.

"Congratulations on your fortune, little brother!"

"Congratulations to you too, big brother!"

"Regarding the investment for my next movie, I’ll be counting on you!"

"Don’t worry, the money is ready. Just tell me when, and we’ll meet in the capital."

"Okay, but not this month. Next month, I’ll give you a call, and I’ll also take you to the sets of the projects you’ve invested in!"

Two people, both having made a fortune, were naturally chatting with boundless joy and scheduled a rough time to meet in the capital.

"Brother, what are you planning to do next?"

"Do what? I don’t want to do anything, just want to lie around!"

"No, I mean, my foreign classmate is arriving tomorrow, are you really confident?" Shen Yi asked with some concern.

Although Su Qing consistently had a mysterious confidence, she had her doubts. Knowing her opponent well, she was aware of how exceptional they were. She was just afraid Su Qing might mess up.

"Of course, let that foreign girl come. Watch how I handle her!"

Shen Yi: ...

For some reason, her unease intensified even further.

Su Qing naturally paid no mind, since tomorrow’s worries were for tomorrow. It’s just a girl, what can’t be handled? Then he left the office, considering who to share his joy from earning money with, when suddenly he heard a sound.

"Family, who gets it, a low-level man approached me out of the blue to flirt. No notification about needing a resume for interviews, academic discrimination, don’t they know women’s associate degrees equal men’s doctorates? What a lousy company!!"

Su Qing: ???

What kind of ridiculous statement was that, hard not to notice. He turned and found the sound from the direction of the HR department.

A girl was holding up her phone, filming, surrounded by several of their company’s employees, and among them was a man clutching his chest.

"If you don’t want to interview, then please leave, don’t waste our time," said one of the female employees.

"Family, who understands? The lousy company is bullying people with numbers!"

Everyone: ...
