Chapter Five: A Delivery Rider in Couture

Yanci could not attend openly. He made Jibai an anonymous investor who had acquired a Southeast Asian logistics platform. The three-hundred-thousand advance became proof of funds; Zhou Chengyue's employee trust was presented as an undisclosed equity asset. The bank manager who had called about debt yesterday personally delivered a premium card. The doorman who once chased Jibai from Shengchuan Tower's side entrance bowed and opened his car tonight. “Money really changes people's eyesight,” Jibai murmured. Yanci's voice came through his earpiece. “It lets them see price. Don't mistake that for value.” Jibai entered beneath the chandeliers. Champagne, jewels, and laughter formed a gentle defense around transactions concealed in charity.
