Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Just Afraid You’d Be Tempted Away by the Little Fairies Outside

Qiao Xi rested an arm on the table, rhythmically tapping her fingers, "Shen Dang wants to acquire Qiao’s, and I’m willing to sell my shares to him."

Chen Jiayan was merely helping Qiao Xi acquire other miscellaneous shares, so ultimately, how to dispose of these shares was up to her.

After some thought, Chen Jiayan said, "That’s fine. After all, the owner of IDC Capital knows how to manage a company. It’s a bit better than having someone else take over, but this means the Qiao family will truly have no connection to President Qiao anymore."

"That’s very good," Qiao Xi smiled.

Qiao Zhenbin had drugged Shen Dang, metaphorically stepping on a tough steel plate.

Selling her shares to Shen Dang was also just going with the flow.

Why not do it if it did not affect her personally?

Both the acquisition and the breakup of Qiao’s were orchestrated by Shen Dang, so either way, Shen Dang would be the one to take the blame.

It had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Chen Jiayan naturally followed her decision.

"Since you’ve decided, then let’s go ahead with that," Chen Jiayan then asked, "Your partnership with Le Entertainment has also expired; what are your plans for the future?"

"Brother Jiayan, what do you think?"

Qiao Xi truly sought Chen Jiayan’s opinion.

Chen Jiayan was not her biological brother, but in a sense, they had grown up together.

Qiao Xi’s mother had begun supporting Chen Jiayan financially since he was a child, continuing until he went to university.

Even Qiao Zhenbin was unaware of this, as good deeds need not be announced.

Back then, Qiao Xi had no siblings, so her mother hoped Chen Jiayan could keep Qiao Xi company.

Chen Jiayan did not let Qiao Xi’s mother down and grew up well. By adulthood, he was capable of earning his own money.

Chen Jiayan had never visited the Qiao family, but during elementary and middle school, he and Qiao Xi were in the same school.

Although they weren’t in the same grade, without the knowledge of the Qiao family members, she and Chen Jiayan kept in touch privately.

After discovering that her biological mother died in an accident while catching a cheater, Qiao Xi sought out Chen Jiayan.

Chen Jiayan greatly respected Qiao Xi’s mother, helping Qiao Xi to acquire Qiao’s scattered shares selflessly to this day.

Looking at Qiao Xi seriously, Chen Jiayan said, "You currently have money. My idea is to sign with an entertainment company, or even start your own, but the resources might not keep up, which is a challenge. Since you’re planning to sell your Qiao Group shares to him, why not consider a share swap with GK?"

That way, not only would Qiao Xi become one of GK’s shareholders, but she would also effectively become a junior boss at GK.

As a boss, she would have more say than the average artist.

With the resources given to GK, as long as Qiao Xi wanted to take something into her own hands, no one at GK could compete with her.

Shen Dang was pursuing Qiao Xi. Having Qiao Xi sign with GK and making her a shareholder was essentially the same result for Shen Dang.

It was just that her status within the company would be higher than that of other artists at GK.

Presumably, the infatuated Boss Shen would agree, and from a business standpoint, it wouldn’t be a loss for him either.

Qiao Xi’s eyes lit up.

How had she not thought of this before?

This solved her problem of wanting to start her company but lacking sufficient resources.

Still, even if these two issues were resolved, there was another lingering problem.

Qiao Xi asked, "Now that the market value of Qiao’s is not what it used to be, wouldn’t Boss Shen be at a loss to swap shares with GK?"

Qiao Xi quickly grasped this aspect, prompting a gentle smile from Chen Jiayan, "Isn’t he pursuing you? He wouldn’t be reluctant even so, right?"

"Even so, some things should be made clear. Even spouses maintain clear accounts."

Qiao Xi felt that was a separate matter.

"Then let’s put it this way. Given today’s value of Qiao Group’s shares, naturally, they can’t compare to those of GK, but with our 45% of Qiao’s shares, we could negotiate a reduced percentage of shares to exchange with GK."

Chen Jiayan stayed calm, with an air of gentle firmness.

"Comparing the market values of the two companies, you can calculate how many GK shares you can get in exchange. I’ve looked into GK, and their prospects are strong. They could very well become one of the two giants in the entertainment industry alongside Shengshi Entertainment."

"If you can indeed split the entertainment industry’s resources equally with Shengshi as a shareholder of GK, that’s better than starting your own studio. There’s a reason why people say, ’It’s good to lean on a big tree for shade.’"

Chen Jiayan analytically shared his thoughts with Qiao Xi.

But Qiao Xi was unsure about Shen Dang’s stance.

She still held the shares of the Qiao Group. If she held them back from Shen Dang, they wouldn’t be worth much later.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s hesitation, Chen Jiayan said, "You should talk to him first. He needs the shares of Qiao’s for the acquisition."

"Okay," Qiao Xi nodded.

"Excuse me."

A waiter suddenly walked in.

Their dishes had all been served, and they were half-finished. They hadn’t called for the waiter.

Chen Jiayan asked, "What’s up?"

The waiter placed two dishes on the table, then smiled, "These two dishes were sent over by a Mr. Shen. Please enjoy at your leisure." He then left.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Chen Jiayan: "..."

Chen Jiayan couldn’t help but laugh, "Xixi, how about we call him over to join us?"

The boss was marking his territory—how could he not see it?

Qiao Xi’s phone vibrated. She looked down.

[Pursuer: Teacher Qiao is too thin. Eat more. I’m eating quite well alone; don’t worry about me.]

Qiao Xi: "..."

That sarcastically phrased message.

Qiao Xi chuckled softly, then told Chen Jiayan after putting down her phone, "Ignore him; he’s eating quite well on his own."

He had said not to worry, so what else was there to say?

"Alright then."

The pursuer sent another question mark.

Qiao Xi glanced at it, too lazy to reply.

After finishing dinner with Chen Jiayan, they got up to leave.

As Chen Jiayan was paying the bill, Shen Dang walked casually toward Qiao Xi, "We’re heading home after dinner."

He grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand and led her out.

Qiao Xi, caught off guard, looked up bewildered, "Shen Dang, what are you doing?"

Shen Dang turned to look at her, matter-of-factly saying, "Going home. What else would we do after dinner?"

"... But you should at least let Brother Jiayan know."

Who just leaves like that?

Shen Dang’s voice was cold, "No need to tell him. He knows."

Shen Dang opened the car door, let Qiao Xi in, then closed it.

Qiao Xi laughed in exasperation, leaning on the window, her eyes fixated on him, "Boss Shen, what are you doing? Are you scared?"

Shen Dang leaned forward slightly, his gaze level with hers, the corners of his lips playfully curled, "Yes, I’m afraid some little demon outside will charm you away."

As he spoke, he gently ruffled Qiao Xi’s head with a motion indescribably tender.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Calling someone else a demon?

He was the real demon, right?
