These factions were not actually cultivated intentionally by Chen Yan.
It is formed by itself due to various reasons.
After all, the several companies under Chen Yan's control had little contact with each other under the existing business. There were few opportunities for cooperation and communication. They were all doing their own thing.
Moreover, due to industry attributes and different personalities of company executives, the styles of each company vary greatly.
For example, the style of a gaming company is down-to-earth and technology-oriented.
The style of the film and television company is eccentric, gossipy and free.
The investment company's style is elitist and arrogant.
The style of the charity foundation is kindness and enthusiasm.
This has led to each company forming a small circle centered around itself, and not communicating with other small circles.
Therefore, since no one around Lu Man is in the company, it is unlikely that Lu Man would know about this from other people.
Therefore, Chen Yan felt that this matter was abnormal.
So, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Who told you?"
At this time, Lu Man was actually a little unhappy.
Because she felt that it was Chen Yan who had done something wrong and had an affair with another woman, and she came to "question the guilt", but why was she being "questioned" by Chen Yan instead?
However, she also knew that if it wasn't important, Chen Yan wouldn't have this attitude.
So, although she was unhappy, she still puffed her cheeks and explained, "It's just a makeup artist in the crew."
"She doesn't know our relationship. She only knows that you are my boss. So she told me this as gossip."
Hearing Lu Man say this, Chen Yan frowned even more tightly.
"How could a makeup artist on a production crew know such a thing?"
Lu Man blinked.
"She said she had worked here on Qindao recently."
“Then, when I was chatting with my friends, I heard about this incident.”
"Oh. By the way. She said her friend works in our company."
After hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
After a while, the call was connected, and Chen Yan instructed, "Sister Meili, please check the makeup artist in the crew that Lu Man is visiting this time."
Having said that, Chen Yan looked at Lu Man.
Lu Man said obediently, "Call her Amy. I don't know anything else."
Chen Yan nodded, then said into the phone, "To Amy."
"Yes. Check on her."
"By the way, check if she really came to Qindao for work recently."
After a moment, after giving the instructions, Chen Yan hung up the phone.
Seeing Chen Yan being so serious, Lu Man couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "There must be a problem."
He said, "First of all, I won't hide it from you."
"I did make 2 billion yuan speculating in gold in Hong Kong. I also worked with the He family to set up a new company."
"He Mengxue did become one of the shareholders of the new company as a representative of the He family."
Chen Yan paused, "As for the reason, it's because the Zhao family has been causing trouble for us recently. I need to cooperate with the He family, so I made some exchanges of interests."
After talking about the new company, Chen Yan added something about the investment company, "As for the shares invested by Chen's, it's the same reason."
"However, this is not given to the He family. It is still held on behalf of a friend of mine."
After listening to Chen Yan's words, Lu Man nodded as if he understood.
Then she asked in confusion, "But... why are you so nervous after I found out about this? And you think there's something wrong with that makeup artist?"
Chen Yan nodded her head and said, "Think about it with your feet."
"Among these things, except that I made 2 billion yuan from speculating in gold, the rest are confidential."
"How did she, a makeup artist, know that?"
"Did you hear it from a friend?"
"But I never said these things in the company."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man suddenly realized.
She said, "So...she is trying to sow discord between us?"
Chen Yan nodded, "This reason cannot be ruled out."
He paused, "Of course, it could also be that I accidentally leaked the information."
"But the possibility is too small."
While explaining and analyzing to Lu Man, Chen Yan was also sorting out his thoughts.
Gradually, he seemed to have some ideas...
"Could it be Zhao Qingtian's doing?"
The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, he was always secretive and careful in doing things. These things were confidential. Apart from him, He Ruifeng, and He Mengxue, only the people in the Zhao Group knew about it.
Therefore, it goes without saying that there are people who can do this.
"But... why did Zhao Qingtian resort to such means?"
Chen Yan hesitated.
Gradually, he suddenly seemed to understand Zhao Qingtian's thoughts.
Suddenly, his face turned ashen!
"Damn it. How shameless!"
…
After asking Chen Yan a question just now, Lu Man noticed that Chen Yan's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was thinking about something.
So she didn't dare to disturb him.
I can only sit on the sofa by myself, playing with my fingers and entertaining myself.
Just when she was having fun, she suddenly heard Chen Yan scolding.
She was startled and couldn't help but look up at Chen Yan.
As a result, she saw Chen Yan took out his cell phone and said to her, "I'm going to go out for a while. Manman, you sit in the room by yourself for a while."
Lu Man rolled her eyes arrogantly, indicating that she heard it.
Seeing her response, Chen Yan also left the room, picked up his phone, and called Yu Qiaoqiao...
…
Meanwhile, half an hour ago...
After being tormented by Chen Yan all night , Yu Qiaoqiao, whose muscles and bones were almost broken, struggled to get up from the bed.
She felt that every time she did something with Chen Yan, it was like being hit by a huge truck full of stones.
Although it's comfortable, I just want to sleep.
But today, she couldn't sleep for long.
Because she has a compulsory class at around 1pm.
Her academic performance is only average, so she has to go to class.
After getting up from the bed and washing up, Yu Qiaoqiao put on her small bag and walked towards the school.
As she got closer to the school, more and more students walked around her.
Coincidentally, there were three or four students chatting not far from her.
"Hey? Do you know? There is a reason why Lu Man is so powerful and developing so fast."
"Lu Man? What's wrong with her? What's the reason?"
Hearing people talking about Lu Man, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but prick up her ears out of curiosity.
Then, she heard the man at the beginning say mysteriously, "Because she has a sponsor on the list."
When the other students heard that person, they all said "huh~" a few times.
"Which of today's pretty female celebrities hasn't been rumored to have a sponsor?"
"Yes. But who knows if it's true or not. Everyone spreads it like that."
"Yeah. Don't spread rumors. I like Lu Man very much."
Yu Qiaoqiao listened from the side and nodded silently.
She had witnessed Lu Man's gradual rise from the bottom of the mountain.
She was able to succeed thanks to Chen Yan and her own efforts.
There is no financial sponsor.
However, what she didn't expect was that when the first person saw that several people didn't believe it, he immediately became anxious.
He said, "Don't disbelieve it!"
"My dad works at Lu Man's film and television company."
"He said that even though Lu Man has always been the boss to the outside world, it's actually just a persona."
"She is supported by a wealthy sponsor."
"You've heard of that financier. His name is Chen Yan. He's a newly emerged wealthy man in Qindao in the past two years."
"According to my dad, Lu Man and Chen Yan have been together for a long time. That's why Chen Yan is willing to spend tens of billions to support her."
"Think about it. If it didn't matter, why would he spend so much money on Lu Man?"
"Before, Lu Man was just an average actress in terms of acting skills and reputation."
At this point, the man paused and continued to reveal the news.
"Besides... let me tell you. They are almost not shy about their relationship in the company. Many people in the company know about their relationship."
"It's just because this sponsor has a real girlfriend. That's why he has been suppressing this matter."
After hearing that person’s revelation, Yu Qiaoqiao’s mind went blank for a moment.
"Chen Yan and Sister Manman... have been together for a long time?"
"Are you suppressing this matter because you have a real girlfriend?"
"Are you talking about me?"
While Yu Qiaoqiao was thinking about this, a few students nearby asked,
"That sponsor has a real girlfriend? Who is she?"
"You're not satisfied with having a female star? You have other girlfriends?"
"yes."
The man smiled mysteriously, "Let me tell you, the sponsor's real girlfriend is even more amazing."
"It's... Miss He from the He family of Qindao!"
"Let me tell you, it is said that He Jiaguang has prepared billions for his dowry."
"And the sponsor also took out several billion and established a new company in Hong Kong for the eldest daughter of the He family. It was considered a betrothal gift."
"You think that a wealthy family with a net worth of tens of billions can be interested in a female celebrity?"
"It's just for fun. Haha."
Several other students also nodded and sighed, "Yes. Those wealthy families are too far away from us."
"They all end up choosing wealthy families that are well-matched with them."
"After all, only by combining the strong can we go a long way."
"How can those ordinary women be truly accepted by them?"
"Yeah. There's no Cinderella in the real world."
Listening to what those people said, Yu Qiaoqiao's face turned paler and paler.
Because these people just hit the "points" that she was most worried about and concerned about in the past two years.
That is, as Chen Yan's development became faster and faster, she could no longer keep up with Chen Yan's development.
It turned out that she was a poor student and Chen Yan was an unemployed vagrant.
Later, when Yu Qiaoqiao learned that Chen Yan's family was a household subject to demolition and relocation and that their real estate alone was worth tens of millions, she felt a little inferior.
Later, Chen Yan started his own business. His games became more and more popular, his company grew bigger and bigger, and he even opened a film and television company.
Yu Qiaoqiao began to feel uneasy.
But at this point, she still felt that the two of them were barely a good match.
It’s not that she thinks she is worthy of Chen Yan, but she feels that up to this point, Chen Yan is still an ordinary person.
For ordinary people, isn't the purpose of getting married to find someone you love?
The difference in status does not mean the distance in love.
But later, when Chen Yan's wealth expanded like a balloon, it increased from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. Then from hundreds of millions to tens of billions, and then to tens of billions.
Yu Qiaoqiao really lives in fear every day.
Because she found that she no longer knew how to face Chen Yan.
After all, Chen Yan was too far away from her at this time.
Chen Yan is the youngest billionaire in Qindao, while she is an ordinary junior student with average academic performance.
The money that Chen Yan casually gave her was tens of millions that she could never earn in several lifetimes.
What Chen Yan talked about was something she couldn't understand even if she tried her best.
Therefore, Yu Qiaoqiao could only act like an ostrich and bury her head deep in the sand.
I didn't dare to see Chen Yan's current development, I didn't dare to ask about Chen Yan's life, and I didn't even dare to disturb Chen Yan.
She could only live humbly in the world she created for herself and Chen Yan. She hoped that no matter how time passed, Chen Yan would come back here.
But now, the words of those passers-by have exposed everything.
Yu Qiaoqiao discovered that she was actually dreaming of being Cinderella.
Although, from the very beginning, she never thought about marrying into a wealthy family.
She even never used all the money Chen Yan gave her. She just kept it there for Chen Yan as Yang Nuannuan told her.
She didn't want a rich family or a wealthy boyfriend. She just wanted Chen Yan... the most ordinary Chen Yan.
Just like that, Yu Qiaoqiao entered the campus in a daze.
She didn't even notice that after those "students" secretly observed that she had listened carefully, they looked at each other and then left the school.
After leaving the school, the students stopped acting, took out their cell phones, and called a phone number in Tiandu to report the situation.
In a moment, their Alipay accounts received a considerable amount of money...
…
At this time, Tiandu, Zhao Group.
After receiving the report from her subordinates, Zhao Qingtian's female assistant also walked with her slender legs to Zhao Qingtian's office to report.
Came to Zhao Qingtian’s office.
Zhao Qingtian is busy there.
The female assistant waited until he finished his work before reporting everything to Zhao Qingtian.
Finally, she concluded, "Boss. According to your instructions, now the female star and the female college student have all received the news."
Zhao Qingtian nodded with neither joy nor sadness, and said, "Okay. It's OK."
Then he continued to look down at the documents.
At this time, the female assistant hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Boss. I... don't quite understand this."
Zhao Qingtian paused for a moment, then looked up at her, "What don't you understand?"
The female assistant thought for a moment and said, "That is... why did they bribe a few people to spread the news to those two women."
"Why... not just post it online? Or spread it to those people who were flirting with Chen Yan?"
"Besides... is it really useful to spread this news?"
She lowered her head and said, "I don't quite understand this."
Zhao Qingtian couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the female assistant say this.
He pointed at the female assistant and said, "You are still far from it."
He said, "First, why only the two of them were spread."
"Because, among the few people who have an ambiguous relationship with Chen Yan."
"First of all, Yang Rou is too familiar with me. Even if someone spreads the news, she will immediately suspect it is a trick. It will hardly be effective."
"Besides, I was her opponent back then. I know her well."
"She's too mature. She won't be fooled."
"The second is He Mengxue."
"Don't underestimate the He family. Whatever we can find out, the He family can probably find out too. So He Mengxue probably already knew about Chen Yan's love life."
"Besides, the two of them now have too many interests tied together besides their relationship."
"Even if there is a grudge between the two, it will be difficult to make a difference."
Zhao Qingtian paused for a moment, then talked about Lu Man and Yu Qiaoqiao.
"As for that female star."
"She has developed rapidly in the past two years with Chen Yan's support. She has accumulated more and more wealth. It is possible to transform it into capital. She is not so dependent on Chen Yan anymore."
"Besides, when she and Chen Yan first met, they were both from humble beginnings. The restrictions in the contract between the two parties would probably not be very strict."
"Besides, she is a female star after all. If she is involved in scandals or financial backers, it will have a great impact on her popularity."
"So, once there is a rift between her and Chen Yan, and she finds out that Chen Yan has other women besides her, then she is most likely to leave Chen Yan."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qingtian's eyes were full of smiles, "Don't forget, Chen Yan's most important industry now is the film and television industry."
"If she and Chen Yan fall out, then Chen Yan's group will be seriously damaged."
After listening to Zhao Qingtian's analysis, the female assistant nodded in understanding, and then she asked, "What about that female college student?"
Zhao Qingtian tapped his fingers and said, "I have read the information you collected. That female student was the first woman Chen Yan met and the woman with the closest relationship to him."
"This woman has always had a dream in her heart."
"I burst it open. To make her understand what reality is."
He paused and said, "I don't expect her to play a big role. But as long as she can distract Chen Yan, that's enough."
Zhao Qingtian said with some emotion, "Throughout history, how many heroes have been defeated by women?"
"Do you really think that a fire in the backyard is a simple matter?"
He shook his head seriously, "No."
"This is something that consumes more energy and causes more headaches than a business war."
"Especially when someone is caught cheating, or is caught having multiple relationships, or the distribution is not evenly distributed, it leads to a fight in the backyard."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qingtian smiled with evil interest, "I'm really looking forward to that scene."
Hearing what Zhao Qingtian said, the female assistant couldn't help but hold back her laughter, trying her best not to laugh.
Then she nodded and said, "I understand, Boss."
Zhao Qingtian retracted his smile, then looked at her and said earnestly, "As for why you didn't make a big deal about this and post it on the Internet."
He said, "First, we have no evidence. If we make a big fuss, it will have a bad impact and may even be illegal."
"Second, ..."
He said with a half-smile, "Have you ever heard of [Brothers quarrel within the walls, defend against foreign aggression]?"
“Same principle.”
"If we don't make a big deal out of this, they will hurt each other and fight over this."
"But if we make a big fuss, because of external pressure, they will temporarily put aside their prejudices and work together to get through this matter."
"So... we just need to play the role of a pusher and wait for things to develop."
At this point, Zhao Qingtian shook his head and said, "This matter is not that easy to handle."
"One is a conflict of interest. He spent billions on another woman. It doesn't make sense no matter how you explain it."
"One is emotional. The gap in status is too big. It's hard to bridge it with words."
"so……"
"It's difficult for Chen Yan."
…
At this time, Chen Yan, who came to an empty meeting room, had already figured out Zhao Qingtian's conspiracy.
He cursed the dog and said it was worthless. It was so insidious. At the same time, he called Yu Qiaoqiao!
