Carefree Life in the World of Film and Television

Chapter 937 Xia Linxi: I forgot. Lan Shan’s dilemma, the bold Cheng Lu

"Department of Computer Science, Stanford University." Xia Linxi replied.

"Stanford University? What a coincidence." Jiang Chen said.

"What do you mean?" Xia Linxi asked.

"I went to Stanford University last year." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "What's more, I have a lot of industries in San Francisco. Maybe I can let you join my company."

"..." Xia Linxi.

"Jiang Chen, I am your friend after all, do you just want to exploit me?" Xia Linxi said.

"Friends are friends, and exploitation is exploitation." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "There is only one kind of person in this world who will not be exploited by me, and you cannot be that kind of person."

"Who?" Xia Linxi asked.

"My family." Jiang Chen said.

Well, Shi Yi and others are not working to be exploited, but to work hard for the development of the family.

"Your family? That's true." Xia Linxi nodded.

"Xia Linxi, are you going to Stanford University at the beginning of next year?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Xia Linxi nodded.

"I have a friend who is a graduate student at Stanford Law School. You can get to know him then," Jiang Chen said.

"Friend?" Xia Linxi hesitated.

Jiang Chen's friend should be a man, right?

"She's a woman. She was also a student at Yenching University before. Her name is Xiao Qing." Jiang Chen said.

"Is this Xiao Qing who went to Stanford University to study in law school last year?" Xia Linxi said.

"You know?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

"I already inquired about it after I decided to go to Stanford." Xia Linxi replied.

"I will give you her contact information then, and you can contact her if you have any questions." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Xia Linxi did not refuse.

"Xia Linxi?"

At this moment, Chen Yichuan's voice came from the side.

"Chen Yichuan?" Jiang Chen looked at Xia Linxi.

The last time I saw Xia Linxi, I also met Chen Yichuan.

Moreover, because of Qin Yue, in front of Chen Yichuan, Xia Linxi said that he was her boyfriend!

Now that such a long time has passed, has Xia Linxi explained clearly to Chen Yichuan?

"Xia Linxi, you..." Chen Yichuan saw Jiang Chen as soon as he came over, and immediately said, "I asked you why didn't you call me? It turns out you are dating your boyfriend."

"..." Jiang Chen.

"...Xia Linxi.

Jiang Chen looked at Xia Linxi.

"Yeah, what's the matter with you?" Xia Linxi said.

"This is the book you want." Chen Yichuan handed the book to Xia Linxi and said, "If it weren't for you asking for this book, I wouldn't come to school now."

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Linxi asked.

"Didn't I find an internship company? So..." Chen Yichuan stopped talking here because his internship company was the company of Xia Linxi's ex-boyfriend Jiang Zhenghan. But because Xia Linxi and Jiang Zhenghan broke up, he now dared not mention it in front of Xia Linxi.

"Go." Xia Linxi felt a little sad when he heard this.

"Then I won't disturb your date." Chen Yichuan glanced at Jiang Chen.

He was not familiar with Jiang Chen, but as long as Xia Linxi liked him, that would be fine.

After Chen Yichuan left, Jiang Chen looked at Xia Linxi: "Xia Linxi, haven't you explained it clearly to Chen Yichuan yet?"

"I forgot." Xia Linxi said.

"Forgot? This misunderstanding is not good." Jiang Chen said.

"Jiang Chen, I don't mind. What do you mind?" Xia Linxi said after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

"It's not a question of whether you mind or not." Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that you can't find a boyfriend."

"Is it just for this reason? Aren't you worried that your girlfriends will be jealous?" Xia Linxi asked.

"Of course." Jiang Chen said without hesitation: "They all know my situation."

"..." Xia Linxi.

"Jiang Chen, don't you think you're something like that?" Xia Linxi couldn't help but say.

"Everyone has a different lifestyle. For me, it is enough for me and my family to be happy. What, Xia Linxi, are you envious of me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I envy you? Which of your eyes sees that I envy you?" Xia Linxi rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

"I saw it with both eyes." Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

"..." Xia Linxi.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. But, Xia Linxi, you should be happy. The past is in the past. There is no need to care." Jiang Chen said otherwise.

"Now he wants to get back together with me." Xia Linxi said.

"What about you?" Jiang Chen knew that Xia Linxi was talking about Jiang Zhenghan, so when he heard Xia Linxi's words, his heart tightened.

After all, he had designed it deliberately in the first place.

If Xia Linxi and Jiang Zhenghan get back together, doesn't it mean that all his previous efforts have been in vain?

This is not what he wants.

"I don't know." Xia Linxi shook her head.

"Don't think so much. You might as well study abroad with peace of mind now and learn your professional knowledge." Xia Linxi is an only child, so unless she recruits a son-in-law, the Xia family's property will belong to others. .

Even if women now have the right to inherit, it is of no use.

The surname is the foundation of a family.

"My major is very good, okay?" Xia Linxi said.

"Really? It's far behind me." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Xia Linxi.

It seems that he really can't be compared with Jiang Chen.

"Xia Linxi, you are still young, I think you should study hard. No matter whether you will be a full-time housewife in the future, being capable is the most important thing." Jiang Chen said.

"Jiang Chen, do you have another purpose in saying this?" Xia Linxi felt that Jiang Chen was right, but she also felt that Jiang Chen's words were a bit strange.

"Other purpose? What purpose could I have?" Jiang Chen didn't expect Xia Linxi's mind to be so sharp that she could detect his other purpose.

"No?" Xia Linxi asked.

"You think about it yourself. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have something else to do." Jiang Chen did not continue, but said goodbye and left.

"Walk slowly."

After watching Jiang Chen leave, Xia Linxi walked into Yenching University.

…

on the street.

"Xiaoshan, you're here."

Seeing Lu Xiaoshan's arrival, Jiang Chen rushed forward to greet him.

"Do you really want to go see a movie?" Lu Xiaoshan asked awkwardly.

"Didn't you say it yesterday? Xiaoshan, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?" Jiang Chen looked at Lu Xiaoshan and said, "Aren't you dressed up carefully just to watch a movie with me?"

"Nonsense, I, I'm not dressed up carefully, I, I just... I'm usually like this." Lu Xiaoshan firmly denied it.

"Really?" Jiang Chen took a step forward and looked at Lu Xiaoshan with a half-smile.

"Of course..." Lu Xiaoshan felt guilty.

Jiang Chen was thinking about it after he made an appointment with her to watch a movie yesterday.

Finally, for some unknown reason, she dressed up like this. However, in front of Jiang Chen, these cannot be admitted.

"No matter what, your beauty today belongs to me alone." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Lu Xiaoshan's heart trembled.

Does beauty belong to Jiang Chen alone?

These words made her feel sinking.

"Let's go watch a movie." Jiang Chen stretched out his hand.

Lu Xiaoshan hesitated and put his hand on Jiang Chen's.

Well, she felt that Jiang Chen was her collaborator, so she had to do this.

Yes, that's it, nothing else.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen took Lu Xiaoshan to the cinema.

Of course, Jiang Chen chose the luxury box.

Although there is no romance... action... movie here.

But going to the movies is not about watching movies.

While watching a movie on the sofa, Jiang Chen's thoughts were on Lu Xiaoshan.

"I wonder what Lu Xiaobei would do if he knew that he and Lu Xiaoshan were interacting."

Jiang Chen didn't know why, but suddenly thought of Lu Xiaobei.

When he met Lu Xiaobei in the Magic City, it was obvious that Lu Xiaobei liked Yao Lan.

Not even his young and beautiful girlfriend is wanted.

But how could Yao Lan be obtained by Lu Xiaobei?

"The movie is not good, let's go back." Lu Xiaoshan held Jiang Chen's hand and said.

"It doesn't look good?" Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Is it because the movie doesn't look good, or because you don't want to be with me?"

"..." Lu Xiaoshan.

Do you still need to ask?

Of course I don't want to be with Jiang Chen.

"You can leave if you want, but it depends on your performance." Jiang Chen said.

"Give me a while, can you?" Lu Xiaoshan actually wanted to be strong, but in front of Jiang Chen, she couldn't be strong even if she wanted to. This was proven last year at the Ludao Hotel.

Otherwise, she would not have been almost bullied by Jiang Chen when she went to find trouble with Jiang Chen at the Ludao Hotel last year.

"Okay." Jiang Chen glanced at Lu Xiaoshan and nodded: "I can give you time, but you are not allowed to have close contact with other men."

"Okay." For Lu Xiaoshan, this was not difficult.

After all, she and Yuan Shuai have divorced.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen stood up.

Lu Xiaoshan quickly arranged his clothes.

Well, watching a movie in a theater means spending money on clothes.

After leaving the cinema, Jiang Chen said, "Shall we go for a walk?"

"I, my company still has something to do." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay then." Jiang Chen didn't force himself upon hearing this and said, "Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Lu Xiaoshan hesitated, kissed Jiang Chen on the face, and then turned and left.

"..." A flash of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Lu Xiaoshan has the attributes of a strong woman.

The reason why she looks down upon her ex-husband Yuan Shuai is because Yuan Shuai is too cowardly.

Now he is strong towards Lu Xiaoshan, so Lu Xiaoshan has feelings for him?

"if it is like this……"

Jiang Chen smiled, turned and left.

…

Five minutes later, while driving and wondering whether to go home or go to his prospective girlfriend for dinner, a figure on the roadside came into Jiang Chen's sight.

"Lan Shan?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Lan Shan is one of the heroines in "Long Live the Wife".

In this integrated world of film and television, he is also Jiang Chen’s high school classmate.

At that moment, Jiang Chen drove the car to Lan Shan's side.

"Lan Shan." Jiang Chen called.

"Jiang Chen?" Lan Shan turned around and saw Jiang Chen, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Get in the car." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Lan Shan opened the car door and sat in.

"Why are you alone? Did you just get off work?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I just got off work." Lan Shan nodded and asked, "Jiang Chen, when did you come to Yanjing?"

"The day before yesterday. I came here to participate in the International Jewelry Exhibition." Jiang Chen replied.

"International Jewelry Exhibition? Your industry also involves jewelry?" Lan Shan asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Xiangxing Jewelry is an industry under the Xingchen Group. It was just established this year."

"I remember that Xingchen Group has many industries, right?" Lan Shan had investigated Xingchen Group after meeting Jiang Chen last time.

"Yes, Xingchen Group has many subsidiaries, involving finance, real estate, technology, jewelry, automobiles... and many other industries." Jiang Chen nodded and said: "It is for this reason that he is very busy all day long. "

"Last time you said you would come to Yanjing in October." Lan Shan said.

"Originally I wanted to come in October, but in October I went to the United States, Sioux City, Shancheng, Jiangcheng, India, Xiangjiang, Shenzhen and other places. I didn't have time to come." Jiang Chen had agreed with Lan Shan last time I came to Yanjing in October, but due to various things, I could only tell Lan Shan on WeChat that the time to come to Yanjing was postponed.

"India? Do you also have industries in India?" Lan Shan asked.

"Well, there are a lot of industries." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to find you tomorrow after settling the matters in Yanjing today, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

"What are you looking for me for?" Lan Shan turned to look outside the car as she spoke.

"Chat and eat." Jiang Chen said.

"Chat? Eat?" Lan Shan turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Shall we go to the restaurant to eat now?"

"Are you treating me to a treat?" Lan Shan asked.

"Of course it's my treat." Jiang Chen said.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen brought Lan Shan to a restaurant.

"Are we eating here?" Lan Shan hesitated.

Because this restaurant is a couple restaurant.

"Yes." Jiang Chen looked at Lan Shan and said, "Are you willing?"

"I……"

"Let's go." Jiang Chen took Lan Shan's hand and walked inside.

Lan Shan glanced at Jiang Chen and did not refuse.

Soon, under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Chen and the two arrived at an elegant box.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Chen handed the menu to Lan Shan.

Lan Shan ordered a few dishes and then looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen added a few more dishes and ordered a bottle of wine.

Soon, the food and wine arrived.

Jiang Chen and Lan Shan chatted while eating.

"Jiang Chen, how long will you stay in Yanjing this time?" Lan Shan asked.

"Today is the 12th, and I will leave Yanjing the day after tomorrow at the latest." Jiang Chen replied.

"So fast?" Lan Shan was very surprised.

"Well, the World Internet Conference is on the 16th, and I have to go back to prepare." Jiang Chen nodded.

"You said you were going to the World Internet Conference?" Lan Shan looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

In her opinion, the World Internet Conference is attended only by big names.

"Um."

Jiang Chen nodded: "I participated last year, and I was invited today."

"Douyin and Pinxixi of Xingchen Group are both Internet companies...so..." Lan Shan realized.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"I didn't expect you to have already..." As a high school classmate, she was a top student, while Jiang Chen could be described as a scumbag at first. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, she would still be working in the company, and Jiang Chen was already a top student. Businessman.

"I'm also lucky." Jiang Chen said modestly.

"I'm afraid it's not a matter of luck." Lan Shan doesn't think it's a matter of luck. It's impossible for Jiang Chen to establish the Xingchen Group without strength.

"Jiang Chen, are you going home for the New Year this year?" Lan Shan asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Don't know?" Lan Shan was slightly stunned.

"Um."

Jiang Chen said: "When I was working in Shanghai, I didn't go home to celebrate the New Year for several years. When I first established the company the year before last, I went home to celebrate the New Year. But last year, because the company advertised on the Yangma Spring Festival Evening, so , I was in Yanjing during the Chinese New Year last year."

"I remembered that last year, there were red envelopes at the Yangma Spring Festival Gala. I even grabbed the red envelope. I didn't expect it was from your company. Jiang Chen, you are so generous, but I was just unlucky and grabbed it. Less." Lan Shan said.

"There will be one this year too," Jiang Chen said.

"Did you tell me you would cooperate with the Yangma Spring Festival Gala this year?" Lan Shan asked.

"Yes, this matter was confirmed yesterday." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Doesn't that mean you will celebrate the New Year in Yanjing this year?" Lan Shan's eyes lit up.

"I'm not sure about the specifics. After all, for me, I have a lot of work during the New Year. Especially this year, I acquired a TV station and will also host the Spring Festival Gala." Jiang Chen was talking about Kiwi TV.

As the only TV station under the Jiang family, Jiang Chen will naturally work hard to manage it.

Therefore, holding the Spring Festival Gala is inevitable.

Artists from Tianfeng Entertainment who cannot attend the Yangma Spring Festival Gala can definitely attend Kiwi TV.

"You bought a TV station?" Lan Shan felt that Jiang Chen had broken her understanding time and time again.

After knowing that Jiang Chen was the boss of Xingchen Group, she thought Jiang Chen was just rich.

But now that even TV stations are being acquired, that means more than just money.

"Yes." Jiang Chen wanted to show off.

Showing financial strength is the way to pursue Lan Shan.

"Jiang Chen, you are so amazing..." Lan Shan said.

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Jiang Chen, although you are not married, you should have a girlfriend, right?" Lan Shan felt a little sad.

The last time they met, Jiang Chen said he wanted to pursue her, but she didn't think much about it.

But then I thought about it carefully, how could Jiang Chen create such a big industry at such a young age without a woman around him?

Jiang Chen paused, then asked: "Lan Shan, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"What is the truth? What is the lie?" Lan Shan asked.

"If I'm lying, I don't have a girlfriend." Jiang Chen said.

"What's the truth?" Lan Shan felt like she was about to suffocate.

The lie is that I don’t have a girlfriend.

This means that Jiang Chen already has a girlfriend.

Before that she was full of fantasy.

She felt that she and Jiang Chen were old classmates and should have a chance to be together, but now Jiang Chen's words ruthlessly defeated her.

"The truth is, I want polygamy." Jiang Chen said.

"Polygamy?" Lan Shan was stunned for a moment, but then she came to her senses.

Polygamy.

In other words, Jiang Chen is more than just a girlfriend.

"right."

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "This is a dream I have had since I was a child. Now that I have the ability to make it come true, I think I can give it a try."

After testing Lan Shan last time, Lan Shan rejected his pursuit.

Later, after learning that he was the boss of Xingchen Group, I accepted his gift.

Therefore, strictly speaking, he has not really pursued it.

In this case, saying this and showing off are two different things.

"So, you already have several..." Lan Shan asked.

"Yes, they all know." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Let's eat." Lan Shan said and concentrated on eating.

Jiang Chen looked at Lan Shan and smiled in his heart.

Lan Shan is a realistic woman, and he believes that she will definitely lose to reality.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Lan Shan left the restaurant.

"Shall we go watch a movie?" Jiang Chen said.

"No, I'm going back." Lan Shan refused.

"I'll give it to you." Jiang Chen said.

Lan Shan hesitated and nodded.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen went to pull Lan Shan's hand, but Lan Shan dodged.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lan Shan, said nothing, and walked towards the parking lot.

Lan Shan followed Jiang Chen in silence.

"What's wrong? Are you separated from me all of a sudden?" Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Lan Shan after walking for a while.

"I..." Lan Shan didn't know how to answer.

"No matter what, we are also old classmates and fellow villagers." Jiang Chen said.

"I was thinking about something just now." Lan Shan said.

"Actually, I want to pursue you." Jiang Chen said, "I don't know if you are willing."

"I..." Lan Shan had a different feeling in her heart when she heard Jiang Chen's words again.

"Lan Shan, you can think about it. At least give me a chance." In Jiang Chen's view, in the play, Lan Shan is willing to marry Chu Jie, whose daughter is twenty years old, and it is possible to choose to be with him: "As long as You agree, even if you don’t go to work.”

"Jiang Chen, don't you think this is too outrageous?" Lan Shan couldn't help but say.

"With polygamy, as long as you are rich, who doesn't want to find a few girlfriends? Those who say they don't practice polygamy, which rich guy secretly doesn't have a few women? This is reality. Among them So I don’t want to be polygamous, I just don’t want to take risks, but I am different, I made it clear in advance.”

Jiang Chen looked at Lan Shan and said: "If I didn't want to pursue you, I wouldn't tell you this. The reason why I tell you this is because I want you to understand clearly. Lan Shan, as long as you follow me, I will I won’t treat you badly.”

Lan Shan and Ren Duomei are similar.

When he first got Ren Duomei, Jiang Chen was also so straightforward.

Does Ren Duomei regret following her now?

money? have!

Gold and silver jewelry? have!

free? There are also.

In the future, if you want to have children, you will have children.

Can you live such a life by following others?

"Jiang Chen, are you prepared to support me?" Lan Shan asked.

"If you want to be a full-time wife, I can only support you. However, our family lives together. So, as long as you decide and agree, I will take you to meet my girlfriends. If you don't want to follow I, then, you just need not to leak these words today." Jiang Chen said.

"I..." Lan Shan took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Chen, you'd better send me back first."

"Okay." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

Half an hour later, Tianfu Apartment.

"Jiang Chen, I'm here." Lan Shan unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen got out of the car and called Lan Shan.

"Is there anything else?" Lan Shan stopped and asked.

"Lan Shan, give me a chance." Jiang Chen took Lan Shan's hand and said, "I really like you, and I will treat you well in the future."

"Jiang Chen, I will not be with others..."

Before Lan Shan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Chen: "You don't have to refuse now. You can think about it for a while."

"Okay." Lan Shan nodded.

"This is for you." Jiang Chen took out a necklace.

"I can't have this." Lan Shan knew.

"Be good, I'll put it on for you." Jiang Chen came to Lan Shan.

Lan Shan hesitated and didn't move.

"It's so beautiful." After putting the necklace on Lan Shan, Jiang Chen's eyes showed joy: "Lan Shan, this necklace matches you perfectly."

"Is it really good-looking?" Lan Shan didn't recognize this necklace, but she could feel its extraordinary value.

"Of course. However, although the necklace is beautiful, you are even better looking." Jiang Chen hugged Lan Shan's waist from behind as he spoke.

"Jiang Chen, don't be like this..." Lan Shan's body trembled.

"Let me give you a hug." Jiang Chen knew what it meant to strike while the iron was hot. If he didn't act at this time, Lan Shan might have already gotten married by the time he came to Yanjing next time. Therefore, at this time, Jiang Chen said those sweet words without hesitation.

A quarter of an hour later, under Jiang Chen's sweet words, Jiang Chen followed Lan Shan to Lan Shan's home.

"The place I live in is a bit small." Lan Shan looked at Jiang Chen who was looking at the room and felt something in her heart.

She didn't understand why she had so confusedly agreed to it after Jiang Chen proposed to come up for a drink of water just now.

"It's not small, it's over eighty square meters. This Tianfu Apartment is also a mid-to-high-end community, and the price is not cheap." Jiang Chen said.

"I rent it," Lan Shan said.

"It's the same. The monthly rent for this house is not low. When I was in Shanghai, I lived in a basement. Compared with your place, it's a world of difference," Jiang Chen said.

Lan Shan was startled when she heard this, and then she reacted immediately.

Jiang Chen's family is similar to hers.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen first went to Magic City, he was similar to her.

wrong.

She is a top student. After graduating from Yenching University, the job she can find will definitely pay higher wages than Jiang Chen, who graduated from Jinling University of Science and Technology.

The difference is that Jiang Chen successfully started his own business, while she is still working.

"However, now I have a lot of real estate. Lan Shan, do you want to live there?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Why should I live in your house?" Lan Shan said.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen looked at Lan Shan.

"Jiang Chen, don't you want a glass of water? Drink it quickly. Please leave after you finish drinking." As she spoke, Lan Shan handed Jiang Chen a glass of water.

"Then if I don't drink, don't I need to leave?" Jiang Chen put the water glass on the table next to him.

"..." Lan Shan.

Isn't this a rascal?

"Lan Shan, let's talk." Jiang Chen reached out and pulled Lan Shan to sit on the sofa.

"What do you want to say?" Lan Shan felt that Jiang Chen seemed to regard herself as the master of this place.

Is Jiang Chen so shameless now?

"Tell me about your situation in Yanjing over the years." Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. The last time we met was in a hurry and we didn't have time to have a good chat. We just have a chat today. .”

"Jiang Chen, now you are the boss of Xingchen Group, and I am just an employee. We should have nothing in common," Lan Shan said.

"We don't talk about the company, so why don't we have a common topic?" Jiang Chen said.

"Then what do you want to talk about?" Lan Shan asked.

"I think..." It was too easy for Jiang Chen to find a topic to chat about.

Soon, an hour passed.

"Jiang Chen, it's getting late, you should go back." Lan Shan couldn't help but say.

"Okay." Jiang Chen stood up and said to Lan Shan, "I want to watch a movie with you tomorrow, are you willing?"

"I……"

"If you didn't refuse, I'll take it as if you agreed." Jiang Chen said.

"Who said I didn't refuse? I will refuse now," Lan Shan said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen said regretfully, "That can only wait until later."

While talking, Jiang Chen took a step forward and hugged Lan Shan.

"Jiang Chen, you..."

"I'll just give you a hug." Jiang Chen said in Lan Shan's ear, "Lan Shan, I won't give up." After saying that, Jiang Chen let go of Lan Shan and turned around to leave.

"Jiang Chen, it would be great if you didn't have a girlfriend."

Lan Shan murmured: "It would have been great if it had been a few years earlier. Now..."

…

The next day, Xingchen Real Estate Yanjing Branch.

"Mr. Tang, how is the situation of the Yanjing Gu Group now?" Jiang Chen asked.

The Yanjing Gu Family Group is the group company of the Yanjing Gu Family where Gu Jie (character in "Elite Lawyer"), Gu Zhenliang, and Gu Chenyu (character in "You Sound So Sweet") work.

Gu Chenyu is the eldest son of the Gu Group in Yanjing and Shi Yi's suitor.

The last time Jiang Chen came, Yanjing Gu Group used its advantages in building materials to suppress Xingchen Real Estate.

"The Yanjing Gu Group has made a lot of moves." Tang Xin told the Yanjing Gu Group's situation regarding Xingchen Real Estate, and then said: "However, now I have thought of a solution, although in terms of construction costs It increased by 0.5 percentage points, but it can be considered a solution to the problem.”

"Next, Xingchen Building Materials Company will set up a branch in Yanjing, and it will give priority to supplying goods to Xingchen Real Estate." Jiang Chen understood what Tang Xin meant, but now Yanjing Gu Group's influence in Yanjing is not his. can be solved.

"I understand." Tang Xin nodded.

However, she also understood that it would take at least several months for Xingchen Building Materials Company to supply goods, and the projects of Xingchen Real Estate could not be delayed for a long time.

"By the way, Mr. Tang, what do you think of Yanjing's shopping mall?" Jiang Chen asked.

"A shopping mall in Yanjing?" Tang Xin was stunned.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Mr. Jiang, I don't know much about Yanjing's shopping malls, I just know the basic situation..." Tang Xin started.

After the 2008 Olympic Games, Yanjing Commercial ushered in a spurt in the development of shopping malls. A large number of new shopping malls entered the market, rewriting the pattern that was dominated by traditional businesses. This year, Swire Group and Sino-Ocean Group cooperated for the first time, so the urban-rural integrated tribe on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road became a shopping mall called INDIGO, and today it has become a well-known "big" city-level shopping mall. Shopping malls that entered the market intensively during the same period have experienced a process of start-up, development, prosperity and maturity, and now most of them have become landmark projects in Yanjing.

The shopping mall satisfies the diverse consumption needs of families. The open street businesses integrate the flavor of Yanjing with fashion trends. Photography and painting exhibitions and other art curation break the monotony of shopping. The first-store brands with their own advantages firmly capture the attention of the new generation of customers. Power... Today's shopping malls have broken away from their early single retail image and have become giant commercial entities that include art galleries, playgrounds, parent-child interaction, social activities and other scenes.

"Mr. Jiang, are you optimistic about the shopping mall?" Tang Xin asked.

"right."

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "You also know the development model of shopping malls. The development model of shopping malls may change in the future, but it is also irreplaceable... Nowadays, the customer groups of shopping malls are becoming more and more segmented. ization, socialization..."

A few years have passed, and shopping malls have been constantly adjusting their investment strategies. The young market is more inclined to experience and immersive formats, and the era of fast fashion brands with fast updates and affordable prices is getting old. In the future, the first floor of shopping malls will be carefully crafted, and the facades dominated by fast fashion brands such as H\u0026M, ZARA, and GAP will inevitably be replaced by high-end beauty, affordable luxury brands, energy vehicles, and smart lifestyle brands.

This also means that new landmarks will emerge one after another, thereby building a new business landscape.

With the changes in the urban spatial pattern and residential structure, shopping malls, as one of the city builders, must also follow different rules to plan the layout of commercial consumption space and guide the development direction of business. Just as the first floor of the current shopping mall not only introduces higher-end, more fashionable and more personalized brands, but also gives way to more space for curation, interaction and social activities. This move allows the shopping mall to no longer be limited to retail, but to become an experience center that caters to different families and customer groups.

"I think Xingchen Real Estate's Yanjing branch should focus on the construction of giant urban complexes in the future. Starting from 2018, fewer residential buildings will be built..." The development of Xingchen Real Estate cannot be stopped. If the houses in the community cannot be sold, then Xingchen Real estate will fall into an endless cycle with no cash flow. Therefore, converting residential buildings into giant urban complexes will be a future development strategy.

Megacity complexes are shopping malls.

Shopping malls are part of giant urban complexes.

"Mr. Jiang thinks... there are fluctuations in real estate?" Tang Xin reacted.

"Yes, house prices are rising too fast now, especially in the second half of this year... You should know that if it really reaches the peak, it will be an avalanche." Jiang Chen and Chen Yifan have discussed this many times, but with Tang Xin didn't talk much.

Now that the end of 2016 is coming, Jiang Chen thinks it’s time to have a chat with Tang Xin.

"I understand." Tang Xin nodded.

…

Cheng Lu Studio.

"Mr. Jiang, have you finished writing "Children of the Qiao Family"?" Cheng Lu asked.

"right."

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "Miss Cheng, you have already adapted "The World", and then "Children of the Qiao Family" will also be adapted by you."

Jiang Chen has an author named Yu Zhongwen.

"Love in the Courtyard", "Human World", and now "Children of the Qiao Family" were all brought to this integrated world of film and television by him.

"Mr. Jiang, is it really fast? This is the third book this year." Cheng Lu said.

"What I pursue is speed." Jiang Chen didn't lie.

After traveling to this fusion world of film and television, whether he was opening a company to make money, finding a girlfriend, or moving books from his previous life, he was very fast.

"Mr. Jiang, I think at your speed, won't I have to work for you in the future?" Cheng Lu asked.

"Actually, you can recruit people. Your studio is a bit small now." Jiang Chen said.

"So, Mr. Jiang will publish books at the same speed next year?" Cheng Lu asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

There are many books in his mind.

Bringing it here also enriches the entertainment culture of this world.

"It seems that I really want to expand the studio." Cheng Lu didn't want to only serve Jiang Chen.

"Ms. Cheng, my publishing house has many good books. You can also read them." Jiang Chen was talking about Yuanyue Publishing House and Xindun Publishing House.

"Well, I've read it, but it's not easy to adapt some books, right?" Cheng Lu said.

"That's true." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

After the two chatted for a while, Cheng Lu asked Jiang Chen about the new book.

"The new book should be called 'Parental Love'." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, do you really have an idea?" Cheng Lu asked.

"Um."

Jiang Chen nodded.

This was decided long ago.

For him, there are other reasons for integrating the world of film and television, and he has plenty of time to write a book.

"I want to read it as soon as possible." Cheng Lu said.

"I will." Jiang Chen nodded.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Cheng Lu, Cheng Lu..."

"Auntie?"

Jiang Chen heard it.

This is the voice of Cheng Lu's mother.

"Why is she here?" Cheng Lu's face darkened.

"Should I hide for a while?" Jiang Chen remembered that the last time he came to find Cheng Lu, he was blocked by Cheng Lu's mother, and Cheng Lu directly used him as a shield.

"Hide?" Cheng Lu said without thinking, "No."

While talking, Cheng Lu stood up and sat in Jiang Chen's arms.

"..." Jiang Chen.

Cheng Lu, what does this mean?

Throw yourself into your arms?

"Cheng Lu?"

At this time, the office door was pushed open.

Cheng Lu's mother walked in.

"Mom, why are you here?" Cheng Lu stood up in a panic.

It looked like he had been caught.

"Cheng Lu, you..." Cheng Lu's mother was about to say something when she saw Jiang Chen: "Well, I... I didn't see anything. You continue."

"..." Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was confused by Cheng Lu and her daughter.

What do you mean to continue?

What has he done?

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I just want to..." Cheng Lu whispered.

"Miss Cheng, did you do this on purpose?" Jiang Chen asked.

"There's nothing I can do." Cheng Lu said.

"Then how can Miss Cheng compensate me?" Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, let me treat you to dinner." Cheng Lu said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded: "Let's go out, otherwise, everyone might know what Auntie is going to do."

"No..." Cheng Lu reacted and quickly walked out of the office.

"This Cheng Lu..." A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips, and then he followed Cheng Lu.

When Jiang Chen walked out of the office, he saw Cheng Lu and Cheng Lu's mother chatting.

The other people in the studio have already left. I really don’t know how Cheng Lu did it.

"Auntie." Jiang Chen walked over.

"Jiang Chen, when did you come to Yanjing?" Cheng Lu's mother abandoned Cheng Lu and asked Jiang Chen.

"I've been here for two days." Jiang Chen replied.

"I didn't come to see Auntie even though I'm here." Cheng Lu's mother said.

"Auntie, it's my fault. I will definitely visit Auntie as soon as possible when I come to Yanjing." Jiang Chen said nonsense seriously.

"I have long told Cheng Lu to move her studio to Magic City, but Cheng Lu was unwilling... If Cheng Lu also goes to Magic City, you can be together for a long time." Cheng Lu's mother said.

Cheng Lu had a black streak on her head.

This is not the first time this has been said.

If Jiang Chen is really her boyfriend, maybe she can consider it, but Jiang Chen is a shield.

"Auntie, my company has a lot of things to do, and I often travel on business, so the time I spend in Shanghai is about the same as the time I spend abroad." Jiang Chen replied.

"No wonder you and Cheng Lu are in a long-distance relationship." Cheng Lu's mother said, "Jiang Chen, you and Cheng Lu came to our house for dinner today."

"Mom..." Cheng Lu's face changed slightly.

"Auntie, not today."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "I came to see Cheng Lu today because I took the time. There are still many things that need to be done next."

Cheng Lu's mother only knew that Jiang Chen ran a company.

I didn’t know that Jiang Chen was the president of Xingchen Group.

"Are you busy?" Cheng Lu's mother asked.

"Jiang Chen runs the company and is much busier than me." In Cheng Lu's opinion, Jiang Chen must be extremely busy while running the Xingchen Group and writing books at the same time.

"Then when will you get married?" Cheng Lu's mother asked.

"..." Cheng Lu.

"Mom, we have only known each other for more than half a year." Cheng Lu said.

"So what if we've known each other for more than half a year? Isn't there a flash marriage now?" Cheng Lu's mother said.

"Auntie, you are so fashionable." No wonder Cheng Lu's mother in the play found a wife and went abroad after getting married. This aspect is really not comparable to Cheng Lu.

"This is called advancing with the times." Cheng Lu's mother said.

"Auntie, this matter depends on Cheng Lu." Jiang Chen said.

"Cheng Lu, tell me." Cheng Lu's mother looked at Cheng Lu.

"I..." Cheng Lu couldn't say anything.

What did she say?

Fortunately, Cheng Lu's mother's cell phone rang at this time.

After answering the phone, Cheng Lu's mother said: "I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you anymore. Cheng Lu, you don't have to go home tonight." After saying that, Cheng Lu's mother left Cheng Lu's studio.

"..." Cheng Lu.

She didn't even want to understand what it meant to not go home.

When she brought Jiang Chen home last time, she asked her if she and Jiang Chen had ever had any issues. She didn't expect to say that in front of Jiang Chen today.

What does this make Jiang Chen think of her?

"Miss Cheng, Auntie is really..." Jiang Chen sighed with emotion and was also curious. Is Cheng Lu's mother also so cheerful about polygamy?

"Mr. Jiang, I..." In front of Jiang Chen, Cheng Lu wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

So embarrassing.

"It's okay, I understand. From now on, Miss Cheng, you can just treat me to dinner." Jiang Chen said.

"This matter won't bring trouble to Mr. Jiang, right?" Cheng Lu asked.

"It has no impact on me, but what will you do next, Miss Cheng?" Jiang Chen asked.

"In the future..." Cheng Lu really didn't think about it.

"Will we break up due to personality incompatibility in the future? Or is it due to other reasons?" Jiang Chen said.

"I don't know either. It's better to escape this disaster first. But Mr. Jiang, are you married?" Cheng Lu asked.

"Not married." Jiang Chen shook his head.

"That's okay. If Mr. Jiang gets married, it will bring trouble to Mr. Jiang." Cheng Lu said.

"Then why doesn't Miss Cheng think it will cause trouble to my girlfriend?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Ah, this... Mr. Jiang's girlfriend shouldn't know about it, right?" Cheng Lu hesitated.

In her opinion, Jiang Chen is the president of Xingchen Group, and her girlfriend must be a rich man, so Jiang Chen must hide it.

"Well, they don't know." Jiang Chen said.

"Them?" Cheng Lu heard the key.

"Just like what Miss Cheng heard." Jiang Chen said meaningfully: "After all, in this world of film and television integration, there is polygamy, so... except Miss Cheng, you have to keep it a secret from me."

"I know." Cheng Lu didn't feel much.

After all, she and Jiang Chen only have a cooperative relationship.

As the boss of Xingchen Group, Jiang Chen is at the peak of wealth, so it is normal to have several girlfriends.

As a film and television editor, she has seen a lot in the entertainment industry.

"Miss Cheng, let's stop here today. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first," Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, go slowly." Cheng Lu sent Jiang Chen to the door.

…

Star Travel Capital.

"Mr. You, I haven't seen you for a while, you are getting more and more beautiful." Jiang Chen looked at You Shanshan and said.

"Mr. Jiang is joking. There is no way to compare me and Mr. Jiang." You Shanshan looked at Jiang Chen's young appearance and said with emotion: "If I didn't know Mr. Jiang's age, I would have thought that Mr. Jiang, you are just this year." Just graduated from college.”

"It's mainly because I have a good attitude that I look young." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, are you in a good mood? Didn't you use cosmetics?" You Shanshan asked.

"I'm not in the entertainment industry, so what kind of cosmetics do I use? In my opinion, if I have an appearance in my thirties, maybe I will look more stable and attractive." Of course, Jiang Chen also said this.

Every year when I turn 18, I can take home more beauties.

You Shanshan made coffee for Jiang Chen, and then asked: "Mr. Jiang, what's the matter with your visit this time?"

"I would like to ask about the acquisition status of Wagong Gang." Jiang Chen said.

Wagonbang, whose full name is Chebang Technology Co., Ltd., is a high-tech company. Its main product is Wagonbang mobile app, which currently supports the two mainstream platforms of Android and iOS. The mobile app specifically provides core functions of supply matching for domestic truck drivers, and also provides peripheral product services such as transaction guarantees, truck group purchases, maintenance and rescue, and auto parts sales.

The last time Jiang Chen came to Staryou Capital, he not only bought shares in Staryou Capital, but also asked You Shanshan to acquire Wagon Gang in the name of Staryou Capital.

"Mr. Jiang, the acquisition by the Truck Gang is not going well." You Shanshan replied.

"Oh? What trouble did you encounter?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, after I promised Mr. Jiang last time, I contacted the Truck Gang, but they..." You Shanshan started talking.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." You Shanshan said.

You Shanshan's secretary walked in: "Mr. You, Mr. Li is here..."
