Chapter 209 What did you do with the 10 million?
Tang Yutong walked to the front of her car, opened the door, then turned around and said to Chu Ci behind her:
"Boss Chu, I wish us a happy cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Chu Ci nodded, and suddenly added as if remembering something:
"By the way, we agreed to have a celebratory drink together after signing the contract, don't forget."
Tang Yutong responded readily, "Of course I'll remember. Once everything is arranged, I'll definitely treat you to a drink."
After receiving this promise, Chu Ci seemed to finally feel relieved, with a satisfied smile on his face:
"It's settled then. Be careful on the road and get some rest early."
"You too."
Tang Yutong fastened her seat belt, started the car and drove into the night. In the rearview mirror, Chu Ci's figure gradually became smaller and finally disappeared at the corner of the street.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Today's trip was worth it. It was worth it for her to spend the whole day with Smiley Face.
————
Chu Ci got into his dark blue Lamborghini, and the touch of the leather seat made him sigh comfortably.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Shi Mubai without hesitation.
"Hey, Mu Bai, come out and have a drink."
Chu Ci's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement. Shi Mubai's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone full of helplessness:
"What time is it now?"
Chu Ci finally realized the time. He took the phone from his ear and checked the time. It was almost ten o'clock. He was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that he and Tang Yutong had been eating together for almost three hours. Had they been talking for that long? It felt like time had passed very quickly.
"It's only ten o'clock, the nightlife is just beginning. I'll wait for you at the usual place. I have something important to tell you."
"You're so cool! I have a morning meeting tomorrow. Can't we talk over the phone if you have anything to say? It's already 11 o'clock now, it's too late."
Chu Ci thought about it and said directly on the phone:
"I remember you have an entertainment company under your name. I negotiated a contract worth tens of millions for you. I'll send someone to sign it tomorrow."
"Why did you suddenly think of my company? And you're so kind as to help me make money?"
To be honest, Shi Mubai was not interested in the tens of millions of dollars worth of business. He was interested in why Chu Ci suddenly wanted to make money for him.
"Isn't this to get closer to Mu Nanyan's best friend? If I don't discuss cooperation with her, I can't ask anything. I can't explain it to Yiran. All I have are hotels, so I can't talk to her. That's why I thought of your entertainment company."
"No, wait a minute, the contract you negotiated with Mu Nanyan's best friend? All the contracts worth tens of millions are not for me to earn tens of millions, but for me to pay her?"
"Uh...I guess so." Chu Ci said with a dry laugh.
"Chu Ci! Yiran asked you to help him get information, and you used my money to please her best friend?" Shi Mubai was almost laughed out of anger by him. It was really outrageous.
"Hey, we're brothers."
Chu Ci tried to play the emotional card. Shi Mubai hit back mercilessly:
"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly."
"Then this money will be mine. I'll treat you to a meal later. Is that okay?" Chu Ci saw that he couldn't get away with it, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Forget about the meal. I'm going to Shenzhen in a couple of days. Just waive my hotel room fee."
"Okay, no problem." Chu Ci agreed very readily.
However, what Chu Ci didn't know was that Shi Mubai had been in Shenzhen for more than a month. He lived in the presidential suite of the hotel and cost Chu Ci more than three million in that month. But that's a story for later.
Shi Mubai seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, "So you had dinner with her best friend tonight?"
"Yes, she took me to a barbecue restaurant. The food was quite good. I'll take you there to try it when I have the chance."
This time Chu Ci was really satisfied with the meal, but he didn't know if his stomach could handle it...
"Is there any news about that?" Shi Mubai dragged out the last word meaningfully.
Chu Ci was suddenly speechless. He had been talking about cooperation during the meal and had completely forgotten the original purpose.
"Uh...no." Chu Ci suddenly felt a little embarrassed. What was going on?
Shi Mubai continued to ask: "Then what did you do with the 10 million? Did you add her on WeChat?"
Chu Ci's hands gripping the steering wheel froze, and he was shocked to realize that, let alone WeChat, he didn't even ask for Tang Yutong's phone number.
The main thing was that he wasn't in the habit of asking for other people's phone numbers. Those women before him had taken the initiative to add his contact information, but why didn't she even bother asking Tang Yutong? Wasn't she afraid that he would suddenly run away?
The silence on the other end of the phone made Shi Mubai immediately understand the situation. He let out an exaggerated sigh:
"Master Chu, you've really lost both the wife and the army! I was thinking if you had just slapped the 10 million in cash in front of her best friend, she might have confessed everything right there and then. Why are you going through so much trouble?"
Chu Ci would never admit that he had done such a stupid thing. He quickly denied it:
"What do you know? I'm just stalling for time. When I go to sign the contract tomorrow, I'll definitely be able to get Tang Yutong's WeChat."
Shi Mubai ruthlessly exposed him: "I think the most wrong decision Yiran has ever made is to put his hopes on you. He's busy chasing his wife over there, and you're still stalling here..."
At the end of his speech, Shi Mubai couldn't help laughing out loud, and his undisguised laughter could be heard over the phone.
Chu Ci felt his cheeks burning, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He lowered his voice and said with a hint of pleading:
"Don't tell Yiran, he gave me three days, and there are still two days left. I will definitely be able to find out what Mu Nanyan likes... I don't want to be embarrassed in front of him for the rest of my life."
"Don't worry, she's been busy chasing after her wife lately. We haven't been in touch for a long time. I've also been busy lately. You're on your own."
Chu Ci really didn't want to continue chatting, so he said to Shi Mubai on the other end of the phone:
"Go to sleep, I'm hanging up."
He interrupted the conversation abruptly and pressed the hang-up button.
Then he started the car and left. The engine of the sports car emitted a low roar. Chu Ci looked out the window at the night scene and suddenly remembered the popular saying on the Internet:
"Everyone is not optimistic about me, but I just don't try to live up to my expectations."
He smiled self-deprecatingly, never expecting that one day this sentence would come true to him.
Step on the accelerator and the Lamborghini shoots into the night like an arrow.
Chu Ci gripped the steering wheel tightly and secretly made up his mind that he must get this done in the remaining two days, otherwise he would never be able to face Lu Yiran in his life.
