Kamen Rider: Damn! I'm surrounded by beauties

Two days later, at the bustling airport.

The huge Boeing passenger plane climbed towards the gray-blue sky and gradually left Tianjin.

Gu Yi and Li Yunsi stood side by side in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, watching the plane until it turned into a blurry silver light and finally disappeared into the depths of the clouds.

Gu Yi's gaze was still fixed on the direction where the plane disappeared. His eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and there was a sense of inexplicable melancholy in them.

That woman broke in with the most passionate way, and now left with the most casual way, leaving only a disturbed lake of heart.

"Are you really that reluctant to part with Zi Yan?"

Li Yunsi's voice, cold and teasing, came from the side. She tilted her head and looked at Gu Yi's profile quietly, as if trying to read something from his expression.

Gu Yi came back to his senses, but he didn't try to hide it and nodded honestly:

"Well, a little. After all, we are good friends. Now that I'm gone, I don't know when we'll see each other again."

His frankness made Li Yunsi's eyelashes tremble slightly. The curve of her mouth seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then she muttered something in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"...Can't you just lie to me for a bit?"

"Hmm? Yunsi, what did you just say?"

Gu Yi didn't hear clearly and turned around to look at her in confusion.

"nothing."

Li Yunsi immediately smiled gently, a smile that was tranquil and distant, as if the momentary loss just now had never existed. "I say, let's go."

The two turned and followed the crowd out of the airport. The afternoon sun shone through the glass dome, casting mottled shadows on the smooth ground.

"Gu Yi, are you free in two weeks?" Li Yunsi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Two weeks later? That should be the case, what's wrong?"

"I'd like to invite you...to a charity art exhibition."

There was a hint of expectation in Li Yunsi's tone.

“All proceeds from the sale of paintings at the exhibition will be donated to help those injured in the Gurongi incident and their families.”

She looked at Gu Yi and added:

"Would you... be interested?"

Gu Yi almost didn't hesitate:

"Of course! Come to think of it, I haven't been to a proper art exhibition in a while."

Hearing this answer, Li Yunsi's eyes lit up obviously, like ignited stars.

The joy spread from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his lips, it was real.

"That's great. I was worried that you wouldn't have time because you're busy with the film and television company."

"It's been quite busy these past few days,"

Gu Yi smiled bitterly.

"Two movies, Kuuga and G3-X, are about to start filming, and the company is also preparing a new drama. Everything is rushing together. But I will handle it."

He paused and winked at Li Yun-si, "Don't forget, I'm also a painter."

One sentence instantly brought the two closer.

The smile on Li Yunsi's face became more and more charming.

It’s great that he still remembers to draw.

As long as he continues to paint, they will always have endless topics to talk about, and there will always be a pure land where they can live together without being disturbed by the outside world.

Just then, they passed by the mall atrium and saw an advertisement playing on a huge LCD screen hanging in the air.

The ad features well-made visuals and a warm and touching soundtrack. A gentle-looking man in a suit and tie speaks to the camera.

"We cannot prevent disasters from happening, but we can provide a solid umbrella of protection for every family when the storm comes."

The screen switches to reveal a brand new insurance brand, "Guardian Alliance," and their core product.

"The Gurongi Incident is dangerous."

The advertising slogan is very provocative:

"For a monthly payment of just three hundred yuan, you can receive up to one million yuan in claims coverage! When the shadow of Gurongi looms, let the 'Guardian Alliance' be the strongest backing for you and your family!"

Gu Yi knew the man who was talking so eloquently in front of the camera.

Xiao Rui, Zhong Zhen's ex-fiancé.

At the end of the advertisement, a long list of investors and partners scrolled across the screen, including some of the country’s most renowned financial institutions and investment companies.

Among the densely packed logos, a familiar name stood out.

【Zhong's Industry】

Gu Yi's footsteps suddenly stopped and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Zhong Zhen? How could she... How could she invest in this project?!

"This insurance... I always feel it's not very reliable."

Li Yunsi also paused, frowning, his eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion. "Today's news just reported that the casualties over the past two days have exceeded a thousand. If each person is compensated one million, that would be one billion per day. If this happens frequently... can this insurance company really afford it?"

"There is definitely a problem!" Gu Yi's tone was firm and his face darkened.

"I had previously advised Zhong Zhen not to participate in this leading project. Why did she... invest anyway?"

No, he must go and find out.

He immediately turned to Li Yunsi:

"Yun Si, I have to go look for Zhong Zhen. Do you want to come with me?"

Li Yunsi was about to nod when the phone in her pocket rang at an inopportune moment. She took it out and glanced at it, then smiled apologetically at Gu Yi:

"I have something urgent to take care of here, so I won't go with you."

"Okay, then be careful."

Gu Yi said goodbye to her in a hurry, immediately hailed a taxi and headed straight for the headquarters building of Zhong Industrial.

He was extremely anxious along the way. Xiao Rui, that man, had always given him a bad impression. He seemed to be very elegant and cultured, but he always felt that he was hiding something.

After arriving at the office building, Gu Yi went up to the floor where Zhong's Industry was located with familiarity.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Zhong Zhen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor, talking on the phone. Her smart professional suit made her look even more decisive.

She seemed to have noticed something, turned her head, and when she saw Gu Yi, a light of surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes.

She quickly said "That's it for now" to the person on the other end of the phone, hung up, and walked towards him quickly in her high heels.

"Gu Yi, why are you here? Did you come to see me specially?"

There was an irrepressible joy in Zhong Zhen's voice, like a little girl who had received her favorite candy.

"Zhong Zhen," Gu Yi didn't have time for small talk and asked directly, "Why did you invest in that 'Gurongi Accident Insurance'?"

Faced with Gu Yi's questioning, the surprise on Zhong Zhen's face faded a little, replaced by a kind of clear helplessness.

"I knew you were here for this." She sighed, reached out and took Gu Yi's arm, and led him to sit in the reception area. "Don't get excited, just listen to me slowly."

She poured a glass of water for herself and Gu Yi, and then spoke slowly:

"You're right. At first, I also felt that this project was extremely risky, like a bottomless pit. But..."

She changed the subject and her eyes became sharp and professional.

"Later, several top investment firms and banks expressed optimism about this project and invested in it. I carefully studied their models and data and realized that perhaps... this thing really could work."

Seeing that Gu Yi still looked unconvinced, she continued to explain:

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to bet everything I have. I'm only investing a portion, so even if I lose, I won't feel bad. I'll just consider it... charity."

She paused, leaned forward slightly, and her eyes gleamed with the shrewdness of a businessman.

"However, according to my analysis, this project may actually be profitable."

"Did you know? This insurance product has been online for less than 48 hours, and over 100 million people have already purchased it in China alone. At 300 yuan per person per month, just do the math. How much is the current fund pool?"

She held up three fingers.

"Thirty billion. This is just the beginning. Now that overseas purchasing channels have opened up, the enthusiasm is very high. I estimate that within a month, the size of this fund pool will exceed three hundred billion."

Gu Yi was so shocked by the number that he was speechless.

Zhong Zhen's voice continued, calm and clear, full of powerful persuasiveness.

"Let's calculate the compensation. According to official statistics, each Gurongi attack resulted in up to 2,000 victims. With the maximum compensation of one million per person, the total daily expenditure would be two billion.

Even if such a high-intensity attack continued for a month, the total compensation would only be 60 billion. Using a 300 billion fund pool to cover the 60 billion risk is more than enough. So, in theory, this project is fine."

Gu Yi listened to her well-reasoned analysis and for a moment didn't know how to refute it. He knew how to fight and film, but when it came to finance and capital operations, he was nothing compared to Zhong Zhen.

He held it in for a long time before he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you didn't agree to invest because you still feel guilty about Xiao Rui?"

When Zhong Zhen heard this, she was stunned at first, then she burst out laughing, and her body shook with laughter.

"No way! Am I, Zhong Zhen, the kind of person who would make fun of the company's future because of personal feelings? I'm not that irrational."

She laughed enough, and suddenly winked at Gu Yi mischievously. She moved closer to him, almost touching him, lowered her voice, and asked in a seductive tone:

"What? Are you...jealous?"

The warm breath sprayed on Gu Yi's ear, making his whole body stiffen.

"certainly not!"

He quickly denied it, but his cheeks were getting hot.

"I...I'm just afraid that you'll be deceived!"

In order to hide his embarrassment, he immediately changed the subject:

"Then...with such a large pool of funds, is there no one to supervise it? What if Xiao Rui runs away with the money?"

"We have several partner banks and investment companies keeping an eye on it. Our accounts are open and transparent, and there are strict audit procedures for capital inflows and outflows. There won't be any problems."

Zhong Zhen's answer was flawless.

She looked at Gu Yi's still tense face, and the smile on her lips deepened.

She leaned close to him again, her breath as sweet as orchid.

"But...thank you for your concern anyway."
