Super Rich by Doing as You Please

To ease the awkward situation, Chen Jiang looked at Yang Siqi and said, ”President Yang, I didn’t realize you knew President Xu. With a connection like that, you should have told me sooner.”

”Well...”

Yang Siqi smiled awkwardly. ”I didn’t realize you and President Xu were acquainted, much less that you were such good friends.”

”By the way, President Yang.”

Xu Yun chimed in, looking puzzled. ”What brings you to see President Chen today?”

”It’s nothing too important, really. I just wanted to discuss a business opportunity with President Chen.”

”As far as I know, President Chen’s family isn’t in the business of opening fitness centers.”

Xu Yun asked, still puzzled, ”You sell fitness equipment, so what kind of business would you have with him?”

Yang Siqi explained, ”President Chen’s company recently opened a new hotel, and it has a gym, doesn’t it?

I was hoping to talk to him about purchasing our company’s products for it.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun sighed in admiration. ”I’m so jealous of you young masters from wealthy families. Your family’s enterprises span all sorts of industries, and you make more money than you can count.”

”We’re just trying to make a living,” Chen Jiang said humbly. ”I probably can’t compare to you, President Xu, so you don’t need to tease me.”

”President Chen.”

Xu Yun smiled. ”How about this? I’ll ask you a favor on President Yang’s behalf. Give the equipment contract for your hotel’s gym to her company. My own fitness center uses her products.”

”No problem, it’s a small thing.” Chen Jiang agreed without the slightest hesitation.

’For such a small sum, doing Xu Yun a favor was a bargain.’

”Then I’ll thank you on President Yang’s behalf.”

Yang Siqi quickly added, ”Thank you, President Chen.”

”Don’t thank me.”

Chen Jiang countered, ”To be honest, I’d already promised this contract to someone else. The only reason I’m giving it to you is because President Xu put in a good word for you. You should be thanking him.”

”Of course. I’ll definitely thank him.”

Yang Siqi smiled, poured her glass full of strong liquor, and said, ”Let me start by toasting you both.”

With that, she downed it in one gulp.

After that, Yang Siqi had a few more drinks and was starting to get a little tipsy.

In contrast, Xu Yun and Chen Jiang weren’t drinking, just sipping on juice.

「An hour later.」

The dinner was over.

Chen Jiang left first. Xu Yun looked at Yang Siqi, whose face was a little red, and asked, ”Are you alright? Can you get home on your own?”

”I don’t think so. I had a little too much to drink today.”

Just as Yang Siqi got up, she swayed unsteadily. Xu Yun quickly caught her to keep her from falling.

Yang Siqi said bashfully, ”President Xu, I’m afraid I’ll need you to take me home tonight.”

”Alright, I’ll play the good Samaritan just this once.”

Xu Yun helped her to his car, got her address, and started driving.

「On the way.」

In a slightly drunken voice, Yang Siqi said, ”President Xu, thank you for what you did today.”

”It was nothing.”

Xu Yun added, ”But you’re really pushing yourself too hard.”

”I have no choice. It’s all for the money.”

Yang Siqi sighed. ”It’s already hard enough for a woman to start her own business. It’s nothing like you guys, who were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and never have to worry about money.”

”You must have a decent amount of money yourself, right?”

”But who doesn’t want to do better?”

Yang Siqi said with a self-deprecating laugh, ”Compared to the average person, I’m doing pretty well. But compared to you and President Chen, I’m a nobody. It’s hard for me to even get a meeting with people like you.”

Xu Yun was speechless.

’My old self... I think I had it even worse than she does.’

「Half an hour later.」

Xu Yun dropped Yang Siqi off at her home.

Don’t be fooled by her title as a company president. The place she lived in was just a two-bedroom duplex of a little over 90 square meters.

’To be honest, this entire place isn’t even as big as the living room in my own house.’

”It’s not much, I’m sure you’re used to better,” Yang Siqi said.

”It might be a little small, but it’s very nice,” Xu Yun said. ”It’s beautifully decorated, very cozy. It feels like a real home.”

”Since you’re home, you should get some rest. I’ll be going now,” Xu Yun said.

”Aren’t you going to come in for a glass of water before you leave?”

”Well... alright, I guess.” Xu Yun casually found a spot to sit on the sofa.

”Wait here,” Yang Siqi said. ”I’m just going to change my clothes.”

”Alright.”

A few minutes later, a sudden exclamation came from the bedroom.

”What’s wrong?”

Xu Yun called out, rushing toward the bedroom in concern.

The moment he opened the door, he saw that Yang Siqi had drawn the curtains and tied up her hair. She was wearing a strange, sexy red outfit and was kneeling on the bed with her back to him. (See image)

Xu Yun: ”(⊙o⊙)...”

’Did she... just transform or something?’
