Hearing what Sister Meili said, Lu Man rolled his eyes speechlessly.
What kind of logic is this?
Giving money doesn’t count as love, but giving a lot counts?
Lu Man feels that love is something that cannot be measured by money.
Just like when she first developed a crush on Chen Yan, Chen Yan was just a poor little boss who came to her hotel to solicit projects.
Even later, when Lu Man gradually fell in love with Chen Yan, Chen Yan's wealth was not more than hers.
Therefore, love and money cannot be equated.
However, although she did not agree with Meilijie's view on love, she did understand Meilijie's feelings.
After all, whether it was yesterday or now, when Lu Man found out that Chen Yan was really going to give her billions, she was as shocked as Sister Meili.
However, when Lu Man first discussed the money with Chen Yan, he had never thought of accepting it. He just wanted to piss Chen Yan off.
As a result, now that Chen Yan really sent the money over, Lu Man could no longer accept it.
After all, she wasn't interested in money.
Moreover, she doesn't know how to manage money.
This money is definitely not as useful to her as it is to Chen Yan.
Lu Manke still forgot what Chen Yan said to him yesterday about the difficulties he encountered...
Thinking of this, Lu Man couldn't help but look at Sister Meili and changed the subject at the right time, "By the way, Sister, let's not talk about the money for now."
"Have you heard about the trouble Chen Yan has encountered recently ?"
After hearing Lu Man's words, the beautiful sister, who was still in an excited mood, came back to her senses.
She glanced at Lu Man and asked, "Have you heard any rumors?"
Lu Man said, "No. I just heard Chen Yan mention it. But I don't know what happened exactly."
As the executive who "really manages things" in the company, Sister Meili obviously knows more information than Lu Man.
She glanced at Lu Man, then nodded, "Yes, I heard that he encountered some troubles."
She explained, “A few days ago, I heard someone say that the investment company received an indictment, and then I went to check it out secretly.”
“It turned out to be an equity dispute.”
"And the plaintiff is the Zhao Group."
"Zhao Group?" Lu Man was a little surprised.
The Zhao Group is a giant group and one of the largest physical conglomerates in China. The industries involved cover energy, medical care, education, electronics, real estate and other mainstream industries.
But this was not what surprised Lu Man.
She didn't pay attention when Chen Yan talked about the Zhao family yesterday.
And now, when she heard Sister Meili talking about the Zhao Group, she suddenly realized: When Sister Meili asked, didn’t she say that Chen Yan was from the Zhao Group?
That’s why the initial employees were all transferred from various branches of the Zhao Group.
Now...how did we suddenly go from being a family to being enemies?
Thinking of this, Lu Man couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Chen Yan a member of the Zhao Group?"
Sister Meili looked around and said , "I'm telling you. I've asked around."
"Chen Yan does have connections with the Zhao Group. But his connection is to the Qindao Zhao family."
"It is said that the Zhao family's main branch is trying to seize the power of each branch. So the two are in conflict."
Hearing Sister Meili's words, Lu Man couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "Isn't Chen Yan very dangerous?"
Sister Meili nodded, "I guess so."
"It is said that all the branches are fighting fiercely with the main family. Chen Yan's case is considered to be relatively light."
Hearing Sister Meili's words, Lu Man pursed his lips and thought seriously for a while, then said, "No! I want to help Chen Yan!"
After hearing Lu Man’s words, Sister Meili almost didn’t react for a moment.
Seeing Lu Mandu standing up, Sister Meili quickly pulled her back and said, "Auntie, what are you going to do now?"
Lu Man took the check and said, "I'm going to go and get this money back!"
"Then I will give all my savings from the past few years to Chen Yan to relieve his stress!"
"He's at such a critical moment now. How can I hold him back? I want to help him!"
Seeing Lu Man so excited, Sister Meili was speechless for a moment.
She said, "Wait a moment."
"Manman. Do you know how much money you have now?"
Lu Man frowned and said, "No matter how much money I have, this is a token of my heart and strength!"
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "I have also made a lot of money in the past two years. At least tens of millions, hundreds of millions."
"If you can relieve Chen Yan's pressure, then do it!"
Hearing Lu Man's words, Sister Meili coughed and said, "Manman. You...actually there are only 2.31 million in your account."
Lu Man: ???
She couldn't help but look at Sister Meili and asked, "Why?"
Sister Meili looked at her in return, "Why? Don't you know?"
“You’ve spent all of it…”
Lu Man was confused, "I spent it all?"
Sister Meili seemed to have anticipated this day. She nodded seriously, took out her phone, opened the accounting software, and began to check every expense with Lu Man...
Lu Man actually only made money for a little over a year. And because she was lazy and Chen Yan didn't want her to be too tired, she didn't participate in many projects. She didn't make as much money as she imagined.
In addition, the female star herself spends a lot of money, and she doesn't know how to control herself. After making money, she spends all kinds of things on shopping, buying things for herself, her family, Chen Yan, and even buying a new house in her hometown, Shanghai, so of course there is not much money left.
After seeing what Sister Mei Li had settled with him, Lu Man was speechless for a moment.
She always thought that she was actually a wealthy woman with a lot of money.
The result... is this?
It turns out that she herself is actually a poor person!
Seeing that Lu Man finally realized her own wealth, Sister Meili said earnestly, "Do you still want to give all your money to Chen Yan to help?"
Lu Man's arrogant little personality made her want to be tough immediately.
But when she thought about it, her 2 million was only one ten-thousandth of Chen Yan's 10 billion fortune.
Moreover, if she gave the money to Chen Yan, she would probably have to borrow money from Sister Meili for meals, so she pouted and didn't say anything for a while.
Seeing her like that, Sister Meili smiled.
Having been "serving" this young lady for these years, she knew very well that Lu Man was the type of person who would give in to others' needs, so she did not continue to attack Lu Man. Instead, she smiled and said, "But I know you want to help Chen Yan."
"You can help Chen Yan in other ways."
Hearing Sister Meili say this , Lu Man's eyes widened immediately, "What method?"
Sister Meili said mysteriously again, "I'll tell you."
"I have inquired about it. The head of the Zhao family is called Zhao Qingtian."
"And I've heard before that Zhao Qingtian and our Rou Zong have some personal grudges."
"If you want to help Chen Yan, you can go ask President Rou. Ask for information about Zhao Qingtian."
Lu Man frowned slightly, "Is it possible?"
"Besides, Sister Rou has a personal grudge against Zhao Qingtian. If I ask her about it, will she be unhappy?"
Sister Meili said nonchalantly, "It's been so many years. I haven't heard of any disputes between the two of them over the years. I guess they've forgotten about it long ago."
"I guess it's okay."
"Besides, even if she doesn't want to say it and is angry with you, if you say you are helping Mr. Chen and apologize, I think she will understand."
After hearing what Sister Meili said, Lu Man thought about it and felt that... it made sense!
She has decided!
I'm going to talk to Yang Rou this afternoon, and ask for information about Zhao Qingtian on behalf of Chen Yan!
Since she couldn't help Chen Yan with money, she also hoped that she could help Chen Yan in other ways...
However, her top priority now is to refund the pre-transfer.
Thinking of this, she picked up the information in the bag, took out her cell phone, and made a call in front of Sister Meili.
…
An hour later, Chen Yan received the news from Lu Man that the advance transfer had been cancelled.
After listening to his personal liaison manager respectfully explaining the situation in the receiver, Chen Yan was not surprised at all.
He said calmly, "I know."
"I'm sorry to bother you with this. Since she doesn't want it, let's just leave it like this for now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
In fact, Chen Yan had given in-depth consideration to giving Lu Man 2 billion this time.
First of all, according to his previous experience of directly transferring money to Yu Qiaoqiao: if Lu Man took the initiative to ask for money like this time, no matter if she was sincere or just joking, as long as Chen Yan gave it, the system would consider it within a reasonable range.
Therefore, no matter how much money Chen Yan gave to Lu Man, he could get 20 times the cash back! It was a guaranteed profit.
Secondly, Chen Yan knew Lu Man's personality. She only liked to make a fuss over small things, but once she encountered big things, she would always be clear-headed. Chen Yan gave her so much money, and there was a 99% chance that she would not accept it.
at last……
This is Chen Yan’s true thought.
His favorite people are Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man!
Lu Man can be ranked in the top two in his heart!
Moreover, because of Yu Qiaoqiao, Lu Man has always been hiding from the public! Not only does he have to be sneaky, but he also has no sense of security!
Originally, she planned not to interfere with Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao, but was won over by Chen Yan's persistent pursuit.
So, I was forced to become the third party.
This is where Chen Yan felt sorry for her.
So... it can make her happy. What is 2.3 billion?
That is to say, Chen Yan only has 2.3 billion in cash now. If Chen Yan had tens of billions, he would still give it to her without hesitation!
Even though the money will not be returned in cash, Chen Yan is still willing!
After all, there is a system. Money is just a number in his hands.
But Lu Man is the one he really likes...
Shaking his head to dispel this thought, Chen Yan did not put the matter behind him. Instead, he quietly made a note in his mind: he "owed" Lu Man 2.3 billion.
After he settles the Toutiao Technology matter during this period and gets the cash back, he will find a way to give the 2.3 billion to Lu Man.
Chen Yan is a man. He sticks to his words. If he says he will give money, he will give money.
After finalizing Lu Man's matter, Chen Yan's thoughts couldn't help but drift to Yu Qiaoqiao.
Last night, Chen Yan went to Yu Qiaoqiao's house.
Yu Qiaoqiao had already returned home at that time. After knowing in advance that Chen Yan would be back, she happily put on an apron and cooked.
Chen Yan hugged her and asked tentatively about what happened in the morning.
Then, with the help of the [Inner Earphones], I learned the whole process of the incident.
For a moment, Chen Yan was a little surprised and confused.
It turns out that it was Qiaoqiao's boss who was persuaded by Yang Nuannuan?
Why?
Didn't she have bad intentions towards me and turned evil?
That's unreasonable.
In fact, after asking Yang Nuannuan in detail about the persuasion process, Chen Yan discovered that Yang Nuannuan was actually speaking for him and helping Yu Qiaoqiao to dispel her concerns.
So, for a moment, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little grateful towards Yang Nuannuan.
Of course, because Chen Yan really didn't like Yang Nuannuan, he couldn't express his gratitude.
Chen Yan thinks...
Well...how about expressing gratitude to Yang Nuannuan to Yang Rou?
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with a daughter returning a favor to her mother.
Anyway, we are all family...
Thanks to good luck and "true feelings", Chen Yan finally dealt with the sinister trick that Zhao Qingtian suddenly used.
However, this also made him wary.
He had heard Yang Rou and Zhao Xuan say that Zhao Qingtian was a man who would do anything to achieve his goals, but he had never actually met him.
Now I understand how despicable his methods were.
Rumor has it that there is an unspoken rule in the gang that does not involve family members, but he actually came up and attacked the people around Chen Yan.
Chen Yan felt that he didn't need to worry about too many rules. As long as he found an opportunity, he could just attack him directly!
Now, Chen Yan’s top priority is to build a solid foundation, take over Toutiao Technology, and build a moat to fight against the Zhao family.
Then he criticized several executives of Toutiao Technology who were inclined to support Zhao Qingtian.
While looking for Zhao Qingtian's weakness, he killed his minions: the Xu brothers.
Chen Yan felt that... he had kept the Xu brothers for too long.
It's time to end all this...
Thinking about Zhao Qingtian's weaknesses, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
He felt... that maybe this could cause some trouble for Zhao Qingtian...
…
At this time, just as Chen Yan was making a counterattack plan, Lu Man also quietly came to the film and television company.
She dressed very low-key this time, and there was no one around her, not even Sister Meili.
According to Sister Meili, asking about Zhao Qingtian's affairs is quite sensitive after all, and if there are too many people around, Yang Rou will be even less willing to talk.
Moreover, after all, Sister Meili and Yang Rou are both powerful executives in the film and television company. Yang Rou will have many concerns when she is present.
Therefore, the best outcome is to let Lu Man, a boss who holds a high position in the company but does not have real power, come forward.
And Lu Man... didn't have much of her own opinion, she just listened to whatever Sister Meili said.
Arriving at Yang Rou's office, Lu Man knocked on the door.
Yang Rou's cold voice rang out from inside the door, "Please come in."
Lu Man pushed the door open and went in.
Yang Rou was sitting behind her boss's desk, working.
Even though he had met Yang Rou many times, Lu Man still drooled a little every time he saw Yang Rou.
Because Yang Rou is so charming.
She is in her thirties, but because she takes good care of herself and exercises regularly, she still looks like a girl in her eighties or twenty-nineties.
And because of her life experience and the charm exuded by a mature woman, she feels like a ripe peach.
Plump and juicy, it makes both men and women want to take a bite.
And that’s not all. Coupled with the cold temperament that emanates from her inner self and the pressure brought by being in a high position for many years, she has an added layer of forbidden charm.
It's that kind of itchy feeling that makes people want to get closer, but dare not get closer.
Even though she is a woman, Lu Man can't control himself every time he sees Yang Rou.
She wanted to hug Yang Rou and act like a spoiled child, and do something bad, just like what she did to Yu Qiaoqiao...
After Lu Man came in, Yang Rou also looked up at Lu Man.
When she found out it was Lu Man, she was also stunned.
Because it is just as Sister Meili analyzed.
Although Lu Man holds a high position in the company and owns a lot of shares, he has always been a hands-off boss.
In addition, she is close to Sister Meili, so Sister Meili is the one who conveys all the information.
Therefore, she and Yang Rou didn't have much personal relationship. They just chatted occasionally when they met at meetings.
Now that Lu Man suddenly came to see her, Yang Rou obviously didn't know what was going on.
So, she put down the mouse in her hand, looked at Lu Man, and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Lu Man came back to his senses after hearing Yang Rou's words.
She giggled twice, then came over and said, "Actually...it's nothing."
"I just want to talk to you, Sister Rou."
"Is it convenient for you now?"
Yang Rou glanced at the document on her computer desktop, hesitated, and said, "Five minutes?"
"I can spare five minutes of your time."
"So, if you have anything to say, just keep it short..."
At this point, given her personality, she added, "The company is indeed... a little busy."
