"It’s just a girlfriend, after all. Even if it’s a marriage, it’s not necessarily permanent. As long as there’s love, these difficulties can be overco."
"Huh? Are you trying to break up soone else’s relationship? Being the third wheel is so unethical!"
Except for Yiyi.
After all, Yiyi has my support, so it doesn’t count!
"Love is war," Bingtang said with a chuckle, "All’s fair in love and war, Keke dear."
Seeing Keke fuming, Bingtang playfully poked her cheek.
Keke slapped her hand away in disdain.
Just then, Jiang Si returned, and Bingtang pinched her cheek, speaking gently, "Alright, no more jokes. I won’t do anything crazy. Don’t worry, I don’t want to be on bad terms with Jiang Si."
Jiang Si called a fancy car to pick her up, looking at his fuming sister, he glanced at Bingtang, "What were you saying this ti?"
"I was discussing the allure of Lord Jiang Si with Keke."
"Aren’t you quite free?"
"I’m about to get to work."
Bingtang limped over to the nice car Jiang Si had called for her and waved back at Keke, "Stay in touch, Keke."
Jiang Si directly closed the door for her.
Only after the car started and she could no longer see Jiang Si and Keke did Bingtang finally sit back and relax.
She glanced at the driver in front and sighed.
"Why is it you? This can’t be a coincidence, right?"
The old driver, the butler, chuckled and said, "Of course not. I persuaded several others before Mr. Jiang chose to be your driver."
"Just as well, I’m a bit short on funds these days."
"Miss, you should know that you can’t spend Ice Era Group’s money frivolously. This concerns whether you’ll truly inherit the Ice Era in the end."
After a mont of silence, Bingtang continued, "Naturally, I won’t spend it recklessly."
"In your father’s eyes, the large amount of cash you pulled from the company to start your own group ended up with no results, causing your evaluation in your father’s eyes to drop significantly, including using Ice Era Group’s channels to sell the Seed of Sorrow and frequently mobilizing people to gather intelligence on the Disaster Strategy Bureau..."
"So what?" Bingtang laughed instead, "Are we going to settle all old and new scores now?"
"Not really. Your previous investnt returns in Jiangming City were quite satisfactory; your father was quite pleased."
"See, wasn’t that fine."
"However," the old man hesitated, "if you tell your father about the Cyan Cloud Sect’s achievents, I think the evaluation will be higher, and things would be easier."
"The Cyan Cloud Sect operates independently, and although it doesn’t make much money, its cash flow is healthy right now and doesn’t need intervention from Ice Era."
"Last ti when you said you wanted to expand, to support the various branches’ actions in different cities, you increased the funding for activities of the True Inheritance and Inner Sect. Although it’s currently healthy, the pressure has obviously increased. You’ve invested quite a bit of your personal funds."
The old butler suggested, "The risk is sowhat too high. If eventually, it doesn’t co around, you might lose all your capital. Your father is also asking why there’s only a card with three hundred thousand left on your account."
"He doesn’t need to worry about it."
"The current status and influence of the Cyan Cloud Sect are undeniable. If you tell your father, I’m sure he’ll support you wholeheartedly..."
"The Cyan Cloud Sect isn’t my company," Bingtang interrupted him, "I’ve told you, I’m just an employee. The Sect Leader of the Cyan Cloud Sect is Jiang Si; he’s the boss. I’ve asked him, and he’s not willing."
The old butler sighed deeply.
In reality, Bingtang herself was unwilling. After all, joining Ice Era ant certain things would inevitably change.
After all, she’s just an heir; Ice Era isn’t a group she controls.
The lead is still her father.
Especially now that the Cyan Cloud Sect is on track and has established an official partnership with the Disaster Strategy Bureau, it’s absolutely impossible to let Ice Era take any share.
"Oh well, as long as you’re happy. No matter what, I can only support you as much as I can."
"Thank you."
As a child, it wasn’t easy to set up the Cyan Cloud Sect from scratch.
The old butler in front of her was a helper Bingtang had found, the only person she trusted in the Bingdai Group.
He was considered an outcast of the Bingdai Group. If she hadn’t lent him a hand back then, he’d still be imprisoned for taking the bla for several major offenses.
And with his identity, even if he goes to her father claiming to be the founder of the Cyan Cloud Sect, he’d be treated as a madman.
Of course, at that ti, the Cyan Cloud Sect was newly established with little fa and value, so telling her father was useless. By the ti the Cyan Cloud Sect grew and needed to keep secrets, Bingtang’s ability had expanded enough to monitor the entire city.
She naturally wasn’t worried about him betraying and making a report.
After all, she could see everything that was done.
"Oh, by the way."
Bingtang took out a small note from her pocket and wrote down a card number.
"Investigate the origin of these cards at the Huazhou Bank for , see if there’s any issue. Of course, if you can find out who owns these cards, that would be even better."
The old butler took the note, glanced at it, "Black Gold Card?"
"You sure know your card numbers well."
"After all, the tail numbers have a feature." The old butler put away the note, "There’s no problem, but it might take so ti."
"No rush."
Bingtang put away her pen and paper, and added, "Also, if there’s no issue with the origin, reissue one with my authority."
"...Your father will probably get angry again."
"Let him, being so easily angered may just kill him," Bingtang scoffed, "It’s just a card."
"Isn’t this soone else’s card? Why use your authority to reissue it? There’s no gain, only risk..."
Bingtang leaned against the car window, lazily saying, "Consider it a little surprise for a friend."
"Jiang Si?" The old butler looked at the red light ahead while stopping the car, and then sighed, "With your relationship, there’s no need for surprises, right?"
Not to ntion a card, your whole self is practically Jiang Si’s, why would you need surprises?
"Wrong, the closer you are, the more you need surprises."
Bingtang said softly, "Ironically, when you’re strangers, you don’t need surprises, because everything is fresh as you’re unfamiliar. But after being together for a while, little surprises are needed to maintain a sense of freshness. Hmm, it can effectively prevent a dull phase."
Feels more like she’s acting as a lover rather than a friend...
The old man looked into the rearview mirror at the girl with a faint smile.
No matter what, it seed much happier than at ho.
Even the old man thought it wasn’t bad.
"Need to work even harder to earn money."
Thinking about those ten Black Gold Cards, Bingtang sighed deeply:
"Rich people, they’re just so detestable."
