Ever since he became connected with Toutiao Technology through the [Strong Buy Card], Toutiao Technology has gradually become one of the focuses of Chen Yan's career.
Originally I just wanted to invest and make some money.
Later on, I wanted to have a certain say in this company.
Then, He Mengxue was bullied and Toutiao was forced by the Zhao family to give up Chen Yan. Chen Yan's mentality changed again: he gradually began to want to control this future trillion-dollar enterprise.
After all, an emerging Internet giant, especially in the content distribution industry, fits perfectly with Chen Yan's large-scale entertainment layout.
Once Chen Yan really takes control of this company, and combines it with Chen Yan's other industries, then perhaps, in the future, Chen Yan will also become a big figure who can shake the world with just a stomp of his feet.
Therefore, when the Zhao family was making every effort to seize Chen's investment, Chen Yan also secretly planned to seize Toutiao Technology...
So, after receiving the 2 billion yuan in cash back and the public opinion in Hong Kong calmed down, Chen Yan started his own plan.
With the experience from the previous two times, Chen Yan did not delay, but directly used the [Forced Purchase Card].
The target is the several venture capital companies that Chen Yan visited when he went to Tiandu last time.
These venture capital companies are all well-known investment companies in China and even in the world.
In addition, the amount of funds they manage is huge, so it is almost impossible to acquire shares of a company with full development potential from them.
This also made Chen Yan really curious.
What kind of arrangements will [Forced Purchase Card] make these companies willingly sell their shares in Toutiao Technology to themselves?
However, after using the [Forced Purchase Card], Chen Yan still confidently said to He Mengxue who came to his office to report on the new company, "Sister Xue, don't worry."
"The company is now established and the shares of Toutiao Technology will arrive in my account soon."
"By then, we will hold more than 35% of Toutiao Technology's shares, making us one of the company's largest shareholders."
"When the time comes, I will arrange for you to join the board of directors. You should treat the director of the investment department who caused trouble to you the same way as he treated you at that time."
"As long as you are happy, that's all."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, He Mengxue rolled her eyes at Chen Yan and said, "What if I just fire him?"
Ever since the "adventure" in Chen Yan's presidential suite that night, He Mengxue and Chen Yan seemed to have become closer.
He Mengxue thought it was because the two of them were drinking and chatting that day and talked about Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man.
But Chen Yan knew that it was purely a misunderstanding of He Mengxue that day.
After hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan said indifferently, "I just said it. As long as you are happy."
Chen Yan did not wear formal clothes today, but a simple white shirt.
But because he has an ordinary appearance, he still looks like a handsome guy even if it's just a white shirt.
At this moment, he was correcting documents while communicating with He Mengxue without raising his head.
"Anyway, the main reason I bought Toutiao Technology's shares, besides wanting to make some money, was to let you vent your anger."
"So, I don't mind what you do."
“Whatever you want to do, just go for it.”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Mengxue's heart couldn't help but tremble.
She looked at Chen Yan and felt a little touched, but she also didn't want Chen Yan to ruin his career because of her grievance.
So, she made an excuse, "Even if you don't mind, Zhang Yonghao will mind."
"After all, he is his trusted and beloved general."
Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan couldn't help but sneer.
He looked up, tapped the pen on the table a few times, and then said, "Want to make a bet?"
He Mengxue asked curiously, "What bet?"
Chen Yan, "I bet that Zhang Yonghao will definitely support you."
A question mark popped up in He Mengxue's head, "Why?"
Chen Yan lowered his head and continued to correct the documents, "It's meaningless if I say it out loud."
"Anyway, let's just say whether to gamble or not, right?"
Seeing Chen Yan being so mysterious, He Mengxue was immediately aroused by the desire to win. She said, "Okay! Then I'll make a bet with you!"
"Go ahead. What?"
Hearing He Mengxue's question, Chen Yan thought about it thoughtfully, and then said, "Let's bet on a request."
"Whoever loses owes the other a request."
"How about it?"
After hearing Chen Yan's words, He Mengxue thought about it.
I feel that apart from this person, there is nothing else about me that Chen Yan could care about.
And if Chen Yan really cares about me, then... it's a good thing.
Thinking of this, He Mengxue, who felt that she was inherently invincible, nodded and said, "Okay. Let's take a gamble."
As she spoke, she came to Chen Yan, and the two of them high-fived each other, thus concluding the bet.
After discussing the bet, Chen Yan also asked about the Zhao family.
He asked, "Did Zhao Qingtian put pressure on your family again?"
He Mengxue shook her head, "I don't know."
"There has been no news since the last indictment was delivered."
"I asked my dad."
"My dad just smiled but didn't say anything."
Chen Yan nodded.
"There's no rush. There's still half a month before the trial. We can see what Zhao Qingtian is up to by then."
After that, Chen Yan said to He Mengxue, "By the way, in the next two days, you should take care of the company's affairs. I have to go out for a while."
"Go out?" He Mengxue blinked curiously, "Where to?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Going to do charity with Qiaoqiao..."
…
at the same time.
Tiandu. Zhao Group. Chairman's Office.
Zhao Qingtian was rarely handling official business. Instead, he stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in his office, with one hand in his pocket, looking out the window with a frown on his face.
Behind him stood his female assistant, holding a document and standing there with her head down.
The two of them were like two sculptures, not saying a word and their movements remained unchanged.
This lasted for more than ten seconds. Then Zhao Qingtian turned around and asked with a frown, "Did that old guy He Ruifeng refuse?"
The female assistant nodded quickly, "Yes. President Qingtian."
Zhao Qingtian asked, "What's the reason?"
The female assistant said, "They didn't tell me the reason."
"Just laughed and said he didn't want to cooperate."
Zhao Qingtian took a deep breath and said, "It's the style of the older generation."
"Don't say any nonsense, and don't give the enemy any clues."
But although he said it lightly, his confusion could still be seen from his frozen expression.
He sat back down at the table, tapping his fingers on the table as he thought, "The conditions we offer are very generous. In addition to the shares that Chen's investment will receive after the deal is done, there is also the opportunity for transformation that the He family has been eager to obtain."
"And they don't even need to invest money. They just need to cooperate."
"Could it be that... the conditions offered by Chen Yan are better than ours?"
The female assistant asked, "Could it be that they value sentimentality over there?"
Zhao Qingtian thought about it and shook his head, "Don't overestimate the heroes who emerged in that era."
“They usually pay attention to the words ‘faith’ and ‘righteousness’.”
“But that’s just because the benefits aren’t enough.”
"Hundreds of billions, tens of billions of benefits, you just say you don't want them?"
Zhao Qingtian shook his head again, "I don't believe it."
He did not think too much about the wrong idea of ​​his female assistant, but continued to think along his own lines.
"Did Chen Yan take the initiative to give up his shares to the He family?"
"Or maybe he has some hidden card that has tempted that old fox He Ruifeng?"
“It’s still not right.”
His brows furrowed even tighter.
"Once I file a lawsuit, the Dream Fund will be frozen. Unless the He family takes out 1.5 billion yuan to fill it, there will be no solution to my move."
"After all, this fund is held by the He family, and Chen Yan's funds cannot enter it."
“Even if they are admitted, the court will not recognize the legality of the funds in the fund.”
"So...what kind of promise can Chen Yan make to make the He family take the initiative to take out 1.5 billion just to clean up his mess?"
Zhao Qingtian tapped his fingers even more urgently. "On one hand, I promised you nearly 10 billion yuan, and on the other hand, you have to pay more than 10 billion yuan yourself."
"I deliberately hid for so long, just for a fatal blow."
"How did I lose?"
"Could it be that Chen Yan used a beauty trick?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Qingtian laughed.
He looked up and asked, "I remember your previous investigation said that Chen Yan has several close women around him?"
The female assistant nodded.
She opened the file and said, "There is Zhao Xuan's daughter. There is a first-line female star, and there is a female college student."
She paused and said, "However, according to rumors, He Ruifeng's daughter is indeed very interested in Chen Yan."
"But He Ruifeng will never allow Chen Yan to have multiple relationships."
"There must be an exchange of interests."
Zhao Qingtian nodded in agreement.
But after nodding, a half-smile appeared on his face.
"interesting……"
“So many women.”
"I didn't expect that my opponent is actually such a romantic figure..."
Just as he was sighing, the female assistant gave him a complicated look.
Then the female assistant coughed and whispered, "In addition... according to some gossip from Chenlu Pictures, the relationship between Yang Rou and Chen Yan is also a bit ambiguous."
"Yang Rou has expressed her approval of Chen Yan on many occasions."
"Moreover, I am very protective of Chen Yan's image."
Hearing the female assistant's words, Zhao Qingtian's expression froze. It turned the color of liver.
After a moment, his whole face darkened, "What a beast in human clothing!"
…
Chen Yan had no idea that Zhao Qingtian was reviewing the process of his failure.
If Chen Yan knew, he would definitely advise him not to waste his energy.
After all, no matter how he analyzed, he could not find out the truth.
Just as Zhao Qingtian thought.
The chips in Chen Yan's hand cannot compare with those in Zhao Qingtian's.
Coupled with Zhao Qingtian's sudden attack, Chen Yan almost fell to the bottom.
But Chen Yan has a system, a [Polaroid Camera] that can predict the future, and a [Forced Purchase Card] that can force people to buy things.
It would be more satisfying to bind the He family with immediate interests than to bind them with future interests.
Therefore, no matter how strong Zhao Qingtian's analytical ability is, it is impossible for him to analyze things that have not happened yet.
However, even if Chen Yan knew that Zhao Qingtian was reviewing the matter, he probably wouldn't care.
Because at this moment, he had something more important to do: that was to do charity activities with Yu Qiaoqiao...
…
This time I used the [Forced Buy Card] and the feeling was the same as last time.
It's all... no feelings at all.
Chen Yan waited for several days, but felt like he was using a fake card: he didn't get any guidance, and no news came.
Except for the fact that he had just used the [Forced Buy Card], which guided him to invite those investment institutions to buy Toutiao Technology shares, there was no follow-up.
Even that invitation was directly rejected by those venture capital companies.
So, for a while, Chen Yan, who originally thought he would be busy, also became idle.
After he had some free time, Chen Yan couldn't help but think of his first two girlfriends: Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man.
During this period, because of a lot of things, Chen Yan felt that he owed them a lot.
Therefore, Chen Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to spend some time with them.
So, Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao agreed to do everything for charity.
During this period, with sufficient capital injection from Chen Yan and the resources of Chen Yan, the president of the Qindong Provincial Charity Federation, the Chenyu Charity Fund developed in full swing.
Not only have dozens of Hope Primary Schools been built in various underdeveloped areas of Qindong Province, but many practical things have also been done to help the elderly and the children of martyrs.
Because Chenyu Charity Foundation has so many donation projects, and one of the directors, Jiang Nanxing, is from the media, it has attracted a lot of media attention.
At first, Jiang Nanxing and Yao Hong went to report to Chen Yan excitedly, thinking that this was a good thing.
As a result, after hearing this, Chen Yan refused on the grounds that "don't do face-saving projects, do more practical things, and don't forget your original intention."
Chen Yan never does anything to save face when it comes to media publicity, so he and Yu Qiaoqiao will be even less likely to do so when they participate in charity.
Therefore, he did not, like some leaders or wealthy people, do special projects or visit the beneficiaries when participating in charity.
Instead, together with Yu Qiaoqiao, they regarded themselves as ordinary volunteers and participated in the operation of the charity.
On this day, the two of them prepared and moved supplies in sweat.
Some went with other volunteers to express condolences and visit the children of martyrs.
Bring warmth to the lonely elderly.
Anyway, they are just the most ordinary and common little things.
At the end of the day, even Chen Yan, who had a physical fitness of +7, felt tired.
However , his soul was cleansed.
Every time Chen Yan does good deeds, he feels that his soul seems to be calmer.
Not to mention Yu Qiaoqiao.
Although she was almost exhausted today, the lunch box she had at noon was not even enough.
However, she always had a sweet, sunny smile on her face.
She doesn't look like the shy and timid girl she used to be.
Instead, it looks a bit like her photo in the game.
After a day of charity work, the two returned home hand in hand.
Yu Qiaoqiao asked Chen Yan to take a shower and relax first.
However, Chen Yan carried her into the bathroom, contributing his kindness to saving water resources.
Maybe it's because the water temperature is a bit high.
Yu Qiaoqiao came out of the bathroom with a towel folded into a square on her head. Her face was red and she looked like a ripe peach.
Chen Yan wrapped a bath towel around his lower body, smiled and hugged her as he went to her bedroom.
Lying on Yu Qiaoqiao's bed, Chen Yan played with his phone and said, "Every time I do charity work, I feel refreshed from the inside out."
Yu Qiaoqiao asked quietly, "Why do you feel so refreshed?"
"Shouldn't you feel happy?"
Chen Yan said, "I'm happy too."
"But it's more about relieving the guilt."
"Guilt?" Yu Qiaoqiao glanced at Chen Yan weakly while blowing her hair, "Why?"
Chen Yan was silent for a while.
Then he smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao. Do you think doing charity is just simply helping others?"
Yu Qiaoqiao blinked her big eyes, "Isn't it?"
Chen Yan shook his head, "Not only that."
He crossed his hands behind his head, looked up at the ceiling, and said, "Because, sometimes, you are actually helping yourself."
He said, "People always make mistakes in their lifetime."
“There are even some people who know clearly that something is wrong, but they can’t help themselves from doing it.”
"No matter how many reasons or excuses you make, you still know deep down that it's wrong."
“So, there is a sense of guilt.”
"Doing some good things can really cleanse your heart."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan as if she understood something.
Then she smiled at Chen Yan and said, "But I think everything Chen Yan did was right. How could it be wrong?"
After hearing Yu Qiaoqiao's words, Chen Yan sat up from the bed.
His eyes flickered and hesitant.
After a moment, he looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and asked, "Qiaoqiao."
"If...one day, you find out that I have done something wrong. Will you forgive me?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words.
Yu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment.
Then she put down the hair dryer, walked to the bed, hugged Chen Yan, and whispered, "No."
Chen Yan's heart was sinking.
Then, he couldn’t hear Yu Qiaoqiao saying with a smile, “Because, I think no matter what you do, it’s right.”
"Uh..." This sudden turn almost killed Chen Yan.
He couldn't help but look at Yu Qiaoqiao.
Only then did I realize that perhaps because of the day's charity work, Yu Qiaoqiao's personality had become more lively. She even started to make fun of Chen Yan.
When she saw Chen Yan looking over, Yu Qiaoqiao had a smile on her face, looking at Chen Yan with a little pride, yet a little timidity.
He looked like a child who had done something bad for the first time and was afraid of being criticized.
Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "My little Qiaoqiao can actually joke now."
Yu Qiaoqiao rubbed against Chen Yan's arms, too embarrassed to speak.
But Chen Yan didn't want to be gentle.
He hugged Yu Qiaoqiao and continued the previous topic in a low voice, "What if... the wrong thing I did is related to you?"
I saw Chen Yan was still talking about that topic.
Yu Qiaoqiao seemed to finally understand Chen Yan's seriousness.
She couldn't help but look at Chen Yan in confusion.
There was no joking on Chen Yan's face, he just looked at her.
At that moment, Yu Qiaoqiao felt a little panicked.
She didn't know what happened to Chen Yan.
Why do you say you did something wrong when you did good things all day?
