Chapter 832: Chapter 832
Now, Beauty Company has surpassed Belle Group under Anxi Shen Family in both market share and sales volume, becoming the leading giant in Huaxia’s industry and has started planning to enter the international beauty market.
The series of products under Beauty Company are selling like hotcakes, with astonishing profits, and as one of the major shareholders, Fang Bai receives a huge dividend every quarter.
However, Fang Bai is not very interested in money and has never deliberately checked how much his dividend amounted to. It was only when Xia Chenyu reminded him during a meal that he took out his cell phone, logged into his bank account and casually glanced at it, indeed finding that there were several billion more in the account.
"Chenyu, you don’t need to transfer money into my account anymore. You keep that money to develop the Beauty Company!"
Fang Bai put away his phone and said with a smile.
Xia Chenyu shook her head and said seriously, "How could that be okay? This is your dividend, it’s what you deserve!"
Fang Bai said, "The money in your hands can generate even more money! In my hands, no matter how much more there is, it can only lie in the account and sleep, which is a waste!"
Xia Chenyu said, "But you still need to carry some money with you, right? You’re a celebrity now, after all, and a celebrity should have the style of one! If you ask me, you should get the flashiest car; your clothes and shoes should also be the best and most expensive, to match your status!"
Fang Bai shook his head with a smile, "No need, I think it’s quite good as is! Plus, I’ve always had quite a bit of money on me, enough for me to squander!"
Xia Chenyu gave him a meaningful glance, full of charm, and said, "Listening to you, it seems like you have so much money you can’t even spend it all!"
Fang Bai laughed and said, "You’ve got it right! It really isn’t easy for me to spend all the money I have now!"
With a snort of laughter, Xia Chenyu said, "The world’s wealthiest person today has a fortune of tens of billions and has never said something like that! You really are someone who is easily satisfied!"
Fang Bai blinked and said, "Tens of billions? I have that too!"
Xia Chenyu said, "The tens of billions I’m talking about are not Huaxia Currency, but US Dollars! Tens of billions of US Dollars, converted to Huaxia Currency, is hundreds of billions!"
Fang Bai said, "I’m talking about US Dollars too!"
Xia Chenyu, seeing his serious expression, snorted with a laugh, "My Boss Fang, when did you learn to boast too!"
Fang Bai shrugged, "How long have we known each other, when have I ever boasted?"
"That’s true... Fang Bai, do you really have tens of billions of US Dollars?"
Xia Chenyu recalled all the encounters with Fang Bai. Although Fang Bai had been high-profile and showy at times, he had never made any outlandish claims. The statement that he had tens of billions of US Dollars seemed unbelievable to Xia Chenyu.
However, thinking about the various miraculous techniques and abilities owned by Fang Bai, if he really set his mind on making money, becoming the world’s wealthiest person really wouldn’t be an issue.
Fang Bai nodded, and recounted the time he had earned tens of billions of US Dollars in the gambling city of Las Vegas in America, and how he had later acquired a treasure during his travels that was rich enough to rival a country, from the Hattori Clan in Japan.
After listening, Xia Chenyu started calculating Fang Bai’s wealth for him. The more she calculated, the more shocked she became. It occurred to her that if Fang Bai were to disclose his wealth, the position of the world’s wealthiest person would probably have to change hands immediately.
"You never thought of making money, yet here you are with so much; I’m working my heart out, up early and going to bed late, thinking of every possible way to make money, yet I’m nowhere close to you... Sigh, compared to you, I feel like such a failure," Xia Chenyu said with a look of discouragement.
Fang Bai reached out and pulled her into his embrace, kissing her on the face, "We’re in this together, my money is your money! How about I give you all the money to manage, what do you think?"
Xia Chenyu’s flirtatious eyes were like silk as she gave Fang Bai a sidelong glance and spoke in a honeyed voice, "You’re giving me hundreds of billions of US Dollars? Boss Fang, are you trying to keep me as your mistress?"
Fang Bai laughed heartily, reached out to gently scrape her pretty nose, and said, "That’s right, I do want to keep you, to have you as my bed-warming maid!"
With a gaze full of enchantment, Xia Chenyu’s beautiful eyes swirled. She slithered her hands around Fang Bai’s neck like a snake and said in a seductive voice, "Then my dear Boss Fang, don’t leave tonight. Let this bed-warming maid warm your bed and take good care of you, okay?"
Fang Bai saw her teasing and couldn’t help but feel stirred. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rising passion and said with a wry smile, "It’s not the right time... now is not the right time..."
Xia Chenyu knew what Fang Bai meant by "not the right time."
She had heard Fang Bai say before that neither of them had reached the Innate Realm and couldn’t indulge in sexual pleasure. Otherwise, the loss of their Prime Yang and Prime Yin would have a significant impact on their future Martial Dao journey. Therefore, even if they occasionally felt passion, they would control themselves well.
In fact, Xia Chenyu hadn’t thought so much about it. If Fang Bai truly had a need, Xia Chenyu would not hesitate to give her body to him without a second thought for the future.
Fang Bai was well aware of Xia Chenyu’s sincerity, but he did not want to ruin their cultivation for a moment of pleasure.
"Have you received an invitation from Su Yifei?"
Fang Bai changed the subject and asked.
As one of the major shareholders of the Beauty Company and a good friend of Xia Chenyu due to Fang Bai’s relationship, it was natural for Su Yifei to invite Xia Chenyu to his engagement ceremony.
Xia Chenyu made a sound of acknowledgment and asked in return, "You have an invitation too, right?"
Fang Bai nodded and said, "How about we go together tomorrow?"
Xia Chenyu really wanted to attend Su Yifei’s engagement ceremony at the Su Family alongside Fang Bai, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, as if they were a close couple. However, after some thought, she still shook her head and said, "Never mind."
Fang Bai was taken aback.
Xia Chenyu chided, "Isn’t it because of you?"
Fang Bai was clueless.
Xia Chenyu sighed, "When we go to the Su Family tomorrow, Su Linglong will surely be there, and I heard that Tang Wenrou will be there too. If we’re too intimate, I’m afraid they’ll get jealous! For the sake of your harem’s harmony, let’s just go our separate ways!"
Fang Bai touched his nose and laughed dryly, "Chenyu, you’re always so thoughtful..."
Xia Chenyu snorted, "You haven’t come to see me once in the past six months, so to punish you, you’re not allowed to go anywhere today. You’re going to accompany me shopping, have meals with me, and enjoy a full day of fun with me!"
Fang Bai said, "Alright! Today I’ll wholeheartedly accompany President Xia!"
After having lunch together, the two flirted in Xia Chenyu’s office for a while. Then, Xia Chenyu donned a hat and sunglasses and, linking arms with Fang Bai, the two went out shopping together.
They played until the evening, and Fang Bai finally returned Xia Chenyu to her office. Then, under her reluctant gaze, he left.
