Why did you make me reincarnate?

"Outsider? Ask them if I'm an outsider."

Liu Jianghe immediately said, "Brother Yang is the lead singer of our Chuhe."

Zheng Jin's eyes widened instantly. "What did you say? He's Chu He's lead singer?"

She looked at Xu Chaoyang in disbelief. The quiet boy in the cram school was actually the lead singer of her favorite band.

Lin Zhong's face also turned extremely ugly. He suddenly remembered that Chu He's first performance was at the Morning Light Bar, but he hadn't gone in to watch it at the time.

"It's true that Chuhe Band makes a living off their fans, but they don't rely on your connections. If you want to use your family background to intimidate people, then I'm sorry, you're not welcome here."

Zheng Jin's face flushed red and then turned pale, her lips trembling as she couldn't speak. She had made unreasonable demands because she thought Lin Zhong had powerful connections, but little did she know he only knew a junior assistant.

Lin Zhong was still unconvinced, but now that Xu Chaoyang was blocking him, it was impossible for him to use his background to intimidate his agent.

Finally, Zheng Jin stomped her foot angrily, stuffed the Polaroid camera into her bag, slammed the door, and left. Lin Zhong hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed her out.

Liu Jianghe let out a long sigh, "Damn it, what kind of mess is this?"

This was their first time experiencing something like this, and they obviously had no experience in dealing with it. Chen Chu relaxed and began to thank Xu Chaoyang.

Xu Chaoyang waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite with me? But you guys really need to be more careful in the future. The more famous you become, the more these kinds of things will happen."

The agent nodded quickly: "Mr. Xu is right. This time it was our fault. We will be more careful with our subordinates in the future."

……

In the evening, a group of people left the driving school and found a barbecue restaurant nearby.

The shop is small, with a row of outdoor seats, and the smoke from the charcoal fire mixed with the aroma of cumin wafts far and wide.

As soon as Liu Jianghe sat down, he started ordering food, a whole bunch of meat and vegetable dishes, and he even ordered a few bottles of beer.

"We should celebrate today! Our Chuhe Band has successfully gotten rid of sasaeng fans!" Zhao Shijun raised his glass and said seriously.

He had been focused on practicing driving all afternoon, and when he heard about what happened in the rest room, he was indignant, only regretting that he didn't have the chance to confront Lin Zhong on the spot.

Chen Chu clinked glasses with Yang Ge and his wife in agreement: "This isn't important. We should be celebrating Yang Ge and his wife's happy ending."

While they were talking, Shen Ju was observing the atmosphere of the roadside food stalls with great interest, eating grilled eggplant without even noticing the little bit of sauce on the corner of her mouth.

Xu Chaoyang saw it and naturally took out a tissue to wipe it off for her.

Liu Jianghe and Zhao Shijun exchanged a glance and simultaneously made a "tsk tsk" sound.

Zhao Shijun took a swig of beer and suddenly sighed, "Sigh, I also want a sweet romance."

Liu Jianghe ate a skewer of meat, looked up and said, "Weren't you chatting quite well with Huang Yuan?"

Zhao Shijun's face flushed red, and he stammered, "What do you mean 'it's fine'? We're just ordinary friends."

"Do regular friends text each other until late at night every day?"

The chubby boy was shocked. "How did you know?!"

"You left your phone in the lounge today. Chen Chu saw it while playing Snake."

Everyone laughed, and Zhao Shijun wished he could bury his head in the plate.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Chaoyang's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a text message from the securities company.

"Mr. Xu, there's been some unusual activity in gold prices. I suggest you keep an eye on it."

Xu Chaoyang's heart skipped a beat, and he replied with two words: "How much?"

Soon the dedicated line rang, and Ming Songhan's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "It started climbing this afternoon, rising all the way to 322. The trading volume has increased significantly. I heard that the US has been making some big moves recently, so market risk aversion is rising..."

Xu Chaoyang listened quietly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It's finally here. This is the market trend he's been waiting for. This fluctuation is expected to settle around 370, at which point his assets should multiply several times over.

"Keep an eye on it, and let me know immediately if anything happens."

Shen Ju asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xu Chaoyang picked up a chicken wing for her. "It's nothing, just a business matter."

Shen Ju nodded obediently and went to eat her chicken wing.

Xu Chaoyang looked at her profile and thought that once this wave of gold trading was over, the funds should be back to eight figures, and then he could make some moves at the bidding conference.

Zheng Tao claimed that the Hongxing Shipyard project had raised 1 billion yuan, but in reality, it was far less than that, and there was a major loophole in their shareholder structure...

Others might not notice, but as a reborn individual, he knew all too well. With a little manipulation, he could make those people's brains pop out.

……

The party ended after 10 p.m. After saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Chaoyang took Shen Ju back to her room at the Morning Light Bar.

The two walked side by side under the streetlights, their shadows stretched long and occasionally overlapping.

"Xu Chaoyang, I've been really happy these past two days," Shen Ju suddenly said softly.

Xu Chaoyang turned his head to look at her: "Because you learned to drive?"

Shen Ju shook her head. "No, it's because I'm with you."

A warm feeling welled up in Xu Chaoyang's heart, and he held her hand even tighter.

The two returned to the bar, where Lu Qingqing was behind the bar taking stock of the day's revenue.

Seeing them come in, he greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Xu and the boss's wife are back?"

Shen Ju is now immune to this title and even nodded slightly in response.

Xu Chaoyang told Shen Ju to go upstairs and rest first, while he stayed behind to check the accounts with Lu Qingqing. The bar's business had been very stable, with net profit of around 150,000 yuan this month, a slight increase from last month.

Lu Qingqing closed the ledger, her expression turning serious: "President Xu, I think it's time to put your expansion plan on the agenda."

Xu Chaoyang raised an eyebrow. This was something he had written in the plan, so it seemed that Lu Qingqing had also thought about it carefully.

The future direction of Chenxi is definitely to open a chain. With the background of the cultural street as a support, it's unimaginable how big it will become, but opening in Yuhang is definitely not a problem.

Xu Chaoyang said, "There's no rush for now, but it should be in the second half of the year. Don't worry, you'll be busy then."

Lu Qingqing was initially a little disappointed, but her eyes lit up when she heard the next part: "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Xu Chaoyang went upstairs to Shen Ju's room, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked on the door.

Shen Ju had already changed into her light gray pajamas, tilting her head to look at him: "Aren't you going home yet?"

She hesitated whether to invite Xu Chaoyang in.

Xu Chaoyang was completely oblivious to the conflicted look in Shen Ju's expression, because he did have something to do tonight: "I wanted to tell you to get some rest early, I have to go out to take care of something soon."

"Where are we going?"

"Not far, near the Red Star Shipyard."

Although Shen Ju doesn't go out often, she has heard of this old shipyard. Her family used to know quite a few of the shipyard's leaders, but it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

What is Xu Chaoyang doing over there so late?
