Chapter 29: The Greatest Enemy

  I walked over and threw that magazine on Jin Shao Yan's desk which was suitable for 3P, pulled a chair and sat down in front of him.

  This feeling is strange, the person in front of me is so familiar yet so unfamiliar. Compared to Jin Er, this Jin Shao Yan has an added hint of aloofness and coldness in his eyes, a kind of arrogant and disdainful air that can only be cultivated from being born with a silver spoon.

  He glanced at the magazine and a hint of color flashed in his eyes. In a hoarse voice, he asked: "Are you Miss Wang's financial backer?"

  I pulled out some photos from MP4 and showed them to him: "These are a few life photos of Miss Wang, you can take a look at whether she has the potential to develop in the film and television industry."

  Jin Shao Yan signaled me to put it down, then he pulled out a few paper towels and picked up the MP4 with them. It looked like he was pinching a pile of dog poop. The MP4 had been played by Qin Shi Huang until it shone brightly, indeed looking not very clean, but did it have to be this way?

  Jin Shao Yan was soon captivated by Li Shi Shi's charming appearance, and he said, "Is that all?" As he spoke, he pressed on, suddenly letting out a surprised "hmm".

  His "hmm" suddenly made me break out in a cold sweat - I immediately thought of the few photos that Winnie the Pooh had taken with Jin 2 in MP4! I sprang up, but the huge table stretched across the mountains and seas between us. I didn't have time to think much, so I lifted my butt and sat down, using my feet to push the chair out and slid it in front of Jin Shaoyan, snatching the MP4: "The battery is running out..." I used my hand to swipe it again and jumped off the table.

  Jin Shao Yan was completely bewildered by my actions, I didn't have time to bother with him, and quickly looked at the MP4 in my hand. That was probably a photo taken unintentionally by Qin Shi Huang, spinning around, with a whole watermarked outfit stuck on the screen, only revealing a chin. I pressed the down arrow key, and in the next photo, Jin Er's handsome face appeared very clearly. What a close call! Although it was just a chin, it had already caught Jin Shao Yan's attention. As the saying goes: there are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two identical chins.

  Jin Shao Yan tapped his pen on the table and asked me again in a questioning tone, "Are you really Miss Wang's financial backer?" It seemed he had temporarily forgotten about the chin incident. No wonder he was suspicious - from the moment I walked in, I hadn't shown any demeanor that would suggest I was a financial backer, not even close to being an accountant; if one didn't listen to our conversation and just looked at the scene, anyone with an IQ above 15 would say I was a swindler trying to scam money.

  Jin Shao Yan tapped his pen on the table and said coldly, "Speak up, what is your relationship with Miss Wang and what brings you to find me?"

  I'm also in a dilemma, because I think I can no longer use those nonsense words that even I don't believe to deceive others. I have a bad habit of thinking that others are not as clever as me, and since I met Er Dai and his friends, I've come to think that everyone else is stupid. I remember a friend telling me with great pain: "Thinking you're smart isn't a big deal, but thinking you're smarter than others will bring you bad luck." This friend was a wholesaler of fake cigarettes, and who knows how many fake Zhonghua cigarettes have been circulated through his hands? That heartfelt sentence was earned by him trading a van full of fake cigarettes for half a bag of counterfeit money.

  I told Jin Shao Yan: "Actually, Wang Yuan Nan is my cousin, but she really wants to develop in your company with a sincere heart."

  Jin Shao Yan asked with a hint of fear: "What's your mom's surname?"

  I naturally said: "The surname is Wang."

  Come on, let's shake this little thing up.

  "Provided her people come, I can take charge and sign her. Weekly salary of 200,000, guaranteed to appear in mainstream media more than once a year. Any questions?"

  A monthly salary of 80,000 yuan is really tempting - it's on par with Boss Baozi's. In the future, I can even pay 10 yuan for parking without asking for change.

  The problem is that I didn't really plan to sell Li Shishi to him, and I came to see the delayed version of Jin Shaoyan. To use the words of the future version of Jin Shaoyan, it was to find a way to make money. Heaven knows what kind of person Liu Laoliu will bring me in the future. If it's someone like Su Wu or Wang Baochai, I might be able to save some money. But if he brings back someone like Wang Mang and his ilk, 5 million might not even be enough for them to squander in a month.

  I didn't deliberately disguise myself as Xiao Accountant, because after a day of contact, I think Jin Shaoyan is not bad, and I wanted to make friends with him in my true identity as Xiaoliang, but now it seems that the old version is less popular than the new one.

  I don't know what the concept of a monthly salary of 80,000 is at Jintin Company. In order not to be looked down upon by Jin Shaoyan, I awkwardly said: "Excuse me, I'll go to the restroom." Jin Shaoyan didn't say anything, he just pointed outside the door, although there was a bathroom in his office.

  I hid in the toilet amidst Ruhua's flattering smile, called Jin 2 and asked him: "He gave Xiaonan a weekly salary of 200,000, should I still haggle?"

  Jin 2 was probably in a bustling shopping mall, and with a hint of laughter in his voice, said: "Don't haggle with him, he has no concept of money, but he doesn't like it when people discuss prices with him."

  "I cursed: 'How the hell can I always forget that you are one person, is this what you call saving money for yourself?'"

  "Ha ha, no need, I can guarantee it."

  The more I see Jin 2, the more dissatisfied I am with Jin 1. Thinking that they are actually the same person, I take out my anger on Jin 2: "You're putting on a long face, acting like you're superior to whom? It's really infuriating to look at. If it weren't for the current you, I'd beat you up——"

  "Sorry, Qiang Ge, I was young and didn't understand things back then."

  I finally found some balance and said: "Then you tell me how to take it a step further, I invite him for a drink, will he go with me? First of all, I only brought 200 yuan."

  Jin 2 asked strangely: "Haven't you guys finished talking yet?"

  "I'm in the restroom on your floor, I'll be back in a minute to continue our conversation."

  Jin suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "The notes I gave you, didn't you read a single word? When talking to him, never go to the restroom, wear formal attire, address him as 'You'..."

  "Stop messing around, what should I do now?"

  "A bad impression has already been made, hurry up and leave, don't make it even deeper. Let's think of another way - I'll buy you a latest Bluetooth mobile phone right now, I need to know what you guys said, especially him."

  I hung up the phone and came back to tell Jin Shaoyan, "As you said, no problem. My cousin will return home in 4 days. During this period, if it's convenient for you, I'd like to have more exchanges with... 'you'."

  Jin Shao Yan pulled out another tissue to wipe his nose, sneering at me as if what I just said was ridiculous. He hummed and said, "Next time it's best if I meet Miss Wang directly, and... before I see Miss Wang again, I don't want to see you."

  I didn't take it to heart, this kid still doesn't know he's going against himself.

  The biggest enemy is oneself, this sentence actually isn't philosophical.

  When I walked to the door, Jin Shao Yan finally couldn't help but ask me: "Why are you carrying an umbrella on such a hot day?"

  I said: "There is a heavy rain today."

  Jin Shao Yan glanced at the clear sky outside and his tone became even more sarcastic: "Who told you that?"

  "My friend whose head looks like a Sakhalin horse."

  As soon as I stepped out of Jin Shao Yan's office, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and after a loud thunderclap, it started pouring heavily.
