That evening.
The moment Jiang Chi walked into the room, he took off his shirt, then turned and caught Xu Tang looking at him in surprise.
His hands paused. "Not doing it?"
"Doing what?" Xu Tang came back to herself, her expression teasing. "I wasn't planning to do anything to you today."
Jiang Chi was so angry he lashed out in embarrassed fury. "Do it or don't. Suit yourself."
In her sophomore year of college, on a whim, Xu Tang put all her effort into winning Jiang Chi over. After having her fill of him, she dusted off her hands and walked away.
And away she stayed for seven years.
Then they met again.
Jiang Chi had become an investor with absolute say, while Xu Tang was just an obscure director.
He changed her position with a single word. Xu Tang wasn't angry, only amused. "Aren't you afraid I'll quit?"
Jiang Chi wore a mocking expression. "Do it or don't. Suit yourself."
Xu Tang: "..."
Fine.
What goes around comes around.
I'll make sure you get yours.
[Bonus Scene]
During the year he was with Xu Tang, Jiang Chi kept thinking that one day he'd become richer than her, and she'd have to come begging him for help.
But seven years passed, and when they met again, he was frustrated to discover that Xu Tang was still filthy rich.
And he.
Still liked her.
