Chapter 129 Pretending to be a Girlfriend

High returns also mean high risks.

But Rong Jingchen did not intend to tell her about those dark things.

“It might be more profitable than you think. Online transactions like this happen almost every day; today’s amount is relatively small,” Rong Jingchen explained casually. “RC1 Base is the world’s largest arms manufacturing base, almost monopolizing three-quarters of the arms market. How about it? Are you interested in choosing this industry? I’ll guide you step by step.”

"I'm a little tempted. I'll ask my mom's opinion later." Jiang Shu looked at the trading screen curiously. "I didn't even know they'd developed virtual screens!"

“Developed by Yan Yu.” Rong Jingchen didn’t particularly like the tea-faced young man, but he couldn’t deny that he was far ahead of others in the technology industry. “The YX5.0 system that comes with it is the world’s most advanced anti-attack and anti-tracking system, and it is currently only used in the global defense and military industries.”

Jiang Shu thought of that cute and handsome young man and sighed, "He's got so much energy, being a star and doing programming at the same time!"

Rong Jingchen: "I also have a lot of energy."

Jiang Shu didn't detect the subtle rivalry between the men. She nodded and said, "Then let's organize a physical family team-building activity sometime and see which of our darlings has the best stamina."

Rong Jingchen felt like he had punched cotton.

He meant that the best way to prove a man's physical strength is through his sugar daddy.

But looking at the girl's expression, which seemed both scummy and naive, he ultimately didn't dare to make any inappropriate jokes.

Forget it, the days are long.

He turned his attention back to the trading screen, rambling on about the topic. Pointing casually to one of the clients depicted with a bird of paradise flower imagery, he said, "This is a long-time client; he contributes five percent of my annual arms sales. Do you recognize this flower?"

“Yes, I know it! There are plenty of bird-of-paradise flowers on the hill behind our village. They’re my Uncle Zhou’s favorite flower.”

Rong Jingchen hummed in agreement: "There is a mysterious Flower Killing Group in China. All of its members are notorious criminals on the international crime list, and they use flower names as code names. This Bird of Paradise is one of them."

Jiang Shu gasped: "China has such an organization?"

Rong Jingchen nodded: "Yes, but it's too mysterious, there are only some fragmentary legends! The master's marksmanship in hunting rabbits is amazing, and the weapons made by the Strelitzia are unparalleled. If I have the opportunity to meet this master in the future, I will ask him to make a gun for you personally."

Jiang Shu waved her hand: "Forget it, China can't arbitrarily equip itself with guns. It's better to just convert this investment into cash! I'll take you guys out for barbecue and beer then, isn't that more enjoyable than playing with weapons?"

Rong Jingchen's handsome face showed a hint of helplessness: "Barbecue and beer? Our benefactor no longer needs to donate money to the Forest Association, so why are you still so stingy..."

Jiang Shu rolled her eyes at him: "You, who talk about hundreds of millions all the time, have never seen the hardship of our village where every dollar had to be stretched ten times. I've started saving money now, but I want to buy a piece of land in the capital in the future, build a lot of big bungalows, and bring all the villagers out. My funding gap is huge!"

"No wonder our benefactor is the treasure of the whole village." Rong Jingchen looked at her. "Who wouldn't like someone like you?"

In the afternoon, when Yan Yu came to pick her up, Jiang Shu was already dizzy from counting the dozen or so income transactions in Rong Jingchen's account.

Jiang Shu rubbed her face: "It's so tempting! After the scores come out, I'm going to convince my mom to let me apply for this kind of major!"

Yan Yu glanced at Jiang Shu, then at Rong Jingchen:
"You really have some tricks up your sleeve! In just two days, I don't know what methods you used to make my sister so obsessed with this industry."

"In terms of methods, they can't compare to your underhanded tactics of poaching clients in the middle of the night!" Rong Jingchen said calmly. "Once I return to F Country, no longer bound by treaties, I will settle accounts with you all one by one." "Who's afraid of who?" Yan Yu smiled innocently. "Then we'll see whether I protect you or me, hmm?"

Jiang Shu generally ignores these verbal confrontations that take place countless times every day at home.

She quietly found a place to sit and enjoy the scenery until the two finished their sarcastic conversation. Then Yan Yu walked towards her, leaned down slightly, and extended his slender, jade-like hand.

"Let's go, sister!" The boy's eyes were clear, his smile pure, like a feather gently touching the heart. "I'll take you to my territory."

The Yan family in the capital.

With a beaming smile, Mother Yan instructed the stylist, "Today is for meeting my daughter-in-law, so toned down your usual flamboyant attire and give me a more dignified and elegant look."

Beside him, Yan's father spoke up nonchalantly: "There's no need to worry too much. Let alone girls in the capital, girls all over China are lucky to be Yan Yu's girlfriend. What we should do is show our true colors so that we don't become a laughing stock among other aristocratic families."

Mother Yan's face turned cold: "If you still want to put on airs, then get out of here. Stop spouting those old-fashioned ideas all the time. Don't you know what kind of person your son has become all these years? Forget about him having a girlfriend, I'd be thanking the heavens if he even brought home a boyfriend!"

The father of the swallow retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting! I think my son is exceptionally talented!"

"He only looks good," Yan's mother complained. "Ever since you were careless and he was kidnapped, he's been like a lost soul. He's said many times that he wants to live alone forever. It's one thing if you don't care about him, but he finally got a girlfriend. If you mess this up, you'll be sorry."

"Alright, alright, she's just a girl!" Yan's father said, looking dejected. "I'll just stay silent the whole time! Do whatever you want with her."

Yan's mother then ignored him, finished her makeup, and went to the restaurant to check the menu.

Three hours later, Yan Yu's car stopped at the Yan family villa.

Jiang Shu glanced at the luxurious villa: "Aren't we going to Yanxing Group?"

"We should have dinner first, shouldn't we?" Yan Yu smiled sweetly. "Besides, now that we're in the capital, I should at least show my sister around my house."

Jiang Shu hesitated: "Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

Yan Yu chuckled softly, "Don't worry, my family is all very nice. My mom started preparing two days ago knowing you were coming."

Jiang Shu looked bewildered: "Is it really that big of a deal?"

"I bet they think you're my girlfriend," Yan Yu probed. "They keep pressuring me to bring home girls I've officially announced my relationship with. To give me some peace and quiet later, would you be willing to play along with this little act?"

"Pretending to be a girlfriend?"

“It’s not exactly impersonation,” Yan Yu said softly. “Just be yourself, and leave the rest to me.”

Jiang Shu took a deep breath: "Fine! Let me see what life is like in a wealthy family. When I build houses for my villagers in the future, I'll use this as a reference!"

Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly, her eyes sparkling.

The dazzling light, which had not yet faded from his eyes after he stepped into the villa, was caught by Yan's mother who came to greet him, and she stopped in her tracks!
