Chen Yan’s method of revenge on Zhao Qingtian was simple and direct.
That is: to launch a precise strike targeting the Zhao family's current situation.
Judging from Zhao Xuan’s affairs and the intelligence given to Chen Yan by the He family, Zhao Qingtian has been seizing power from various branches of the Zhao family in order to strengthen the main family.
The various branches are not dead, they have always had a lot of disagreements.
However, because Zhao Qingtian was in control of the general situation and was advancing step by step, he was boiling the frog in warm water, and he was also cautious and left no handle.
Therefore, the various branches did not have a good way to fight back and could only be eaten away bit by bit.
But this doesn't mean they don't have the will to resist.
Then, Chen Yan could easily find some flaws or black material about Zhao Qingtian, and then detonate the Internet to provide various branches of the Zhao family with an opportunity to fight back.
Lead other branches of the Zhao family to attack him together.
Chen Yan can take the opportunity to hide behind these branches and encourage others.
Even when the two sides were fighting, he took control of Toutiao Technology and destroyed the Xu brothers. He avenged He Mengxue and Yang Rou, increased his position in the country, and reduced Zhao Qingtian's wings.
Allow adequate time to develop.
Chen Yan was not worried that the Zhao family's branch would be easily destroyed by Zhao Qingtian.
You know, although those branches are just tributaries, over the years, their own power has already become very huge.
Take the Qindong branch of the Zhao family as an example. This branch alone can rank among the top 10 of all Qindong groups.
This already shows the strength of this branch.
It is for this reason that Zhao Qingtian believes that the branches are too powerful to be eliminated, and wants to take back the authority and assets of the main family...
After listing his general plan, Chen Yan sat in the boss chair, pondering the most critical step of the plan: Zhao Qingtian's weaknesses and black material.
Only if there is enough negative information can each branch make a desperate effort.
Chen Yan definitely doesn’t have it.
But... he knew someone would have it.
That is: Yang Rou.
After all, Chen Yan still remembered the evaluation of her written on Yang Rou's [Polaroid Paper]: holding a grudge.
Yang Rou has kept track of enemies of the same level as the Xu brothers for so many years and has been quietly collecting information about them.
Well, since the conflict between Yang Rou and Zhao Qingtian was deeper than that between the Xu brothers, it was impossible for her not to bear a grudge and she couldn't have no other information in her hands.
Therefore, Chen Yan felt that he should go talk to Yang Rou, discuss the plan, and get something valuable from her.
By the way...let's exchange some feelings.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan wanted to get up and find Yang Rou.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, there was a knock on the office door.
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, straightened his clothes, and sat down again, "Please come in."
The door of the office was pushed open, and Lu Man came in with a small smile on her face. "Chen Yan~? Are you busy?"
She is like a lively elf, making people feel happy at first sight.
Chen Yan smiled and shook his head, "I just finished my work."
After that, he asked, "Why don't you rest at home instead of coming to the company?"
The two fought fiercely all night yesterday, and only stopped when Lu Man was almost exhausted.
Therefore, Chen Yan felt that with Lu Man's lazy personality, she would at least rest for a few days before going out.
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man smiled proudly and said, "Because I went to prepare a gift for you!"
"Gift?" Chen Yan looked at Lu Man.
At this time, Lu Man had already entered the room, but her hands were empty and she didn't hold anything.
Chen Yan was a little curious for a moment, "What gift?"
Lu Man first stuck his head out and looked around like a thief, then he carefully closed the door, came to Chen Yan, and whispered, "I'm telling you something."
"I'll help you get information about Zhao Qingtian."
"Information about Zhao Qingtian?" Chen Yan was a little stunned.
Lu Man nodded repeatedly.
Chen Yan asked, "Who did you ask?"
Lu Man said proudly, "The person who hates talking the most in the company!"
Chen Yan said in surprise, "Sister Rou?"
Obviously, Yang Rou's characteristic of being quiet has long been a consensus throughout the company.
Lu Man nodded proudly.
Chen Yan didn't expect that Lu Man and he had the same thoughts, so he smiled and held Lu Man on his lap, while stroking her smooth, white, slender legs, he asked, "So what information did you get?"
Lu Man slapped Chen Yan's mischievous hand in a coquettish manner, and then began to tell him all the information she had obtained from Yang Rou.
Of course, she kept her promise and did not tell Yang Nuannuan about her background.
It’s just that later on Zhao Qingtian kept harassing Yang Rou and Yang Nuannuan.
Yang Rou warned him several times, but Zhao Qingtian still refused to change. He even thought Yang Rou was playing hard to get, which was a bit abnormal and conceited.
After listening to Lu Man's story, Chen Yan was stunned.
I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Seeing Chen Yan's expression, Lu Man couldn't help but smile.
She said, “Isn’t it legendary?”
"I was also so surprised when I heard it. I almost thought I had heard it wrongly."
"But it is also from these things that we can see that Zhao Qingtian is indeed a beast, a scumbag, a pervert, and a psychopath!"
At this moment, listening to Lu Man's words, Chen Yan finally came back to his senses.
He raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute."
He looked at Lu Man and said with a look of doubt, "You mean, Yang Rou told you that it was Zhao Qingtian who took the initiative to find her and wanted to provide her genes. And after gaining her trust, Zhao Qingtian took the opportunity to use this as a threat and an excuse to molest her?"
Lu Man nodded seriously.
He looked at Chen Yan with a strange expression and asked, "What else?"
"You don't think that Sister Rou molested Zhao Qingtian and took his genes, do you?"
Chen Yan: …
Chen Yan felt his mind was a little confused.
Because he had clearly talked about what happened back then with "Yang Rou" on the Internet.
However, Yang Rou said the exact opposite.
So...which of these two is real and which is fake?
For a moment, Chen Yan felt that everything that happened back then was confusing.
Chen Yan began to doubt Yang Rou: a woman... told the same thing to two people, but they were completely opposite stories.
No matter which one is fake, it means this woman is not very "real"...
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but look at Lu Man, and then asked, "Manman, does Sister Rou know that you would tell me this?"
Lu Man nodded.
Chen Yan made a decision in his heart: It seems... I need to use my [inner earphones] to verify Yang Rou's matter in person.
Otherwise, I might not be able to deal with Zhao Qingtian, and there will be a bomb hidden inside...
Thinking of this, Chen Yan chatted with Lu Man for a few more words, and after promising to accompany her in the evening, he sent her out of the office.
After Lu Man left the office, Chen Yan pondered quietly in the office for a while, and then decided what he wanted to ask next.
He packed up a few reports and went to the film and television company, intending to find Yang Rou to find out the truth...
…
Arriving at the general manager's office of the film and television company, Chen Yan knocked on the door.
Yang Rou's cold and emotionless voice rang out from inside the door, "Please come in."
Even though Yang Rou's voice was always rather cold, Chen Yan was still keenly aware that she was not in a very good mood.
Chen Yan pushed the door open and went in.
Yang Rou was typing away on the computer screen. It looked like she was typing a project plan.
Chen Yan did not disturb her, but closed the door, found a place to sit, and waited patiently for Yang Rou to finish what she was doing.
After more than ten seconds, Yang Rou finished typing a line of words, raised her head and looked towards the door, only to find that it was Chen Yan who came to see her.
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Chen Yan, "Mr. Chen, are you looking for me?"
Chen Yan nodded, then asked with a smile, "Sister Rou is busy?"
Yang Rou hummed and said, "The first batch of Chaoyang Project projects are almost all in the middle and late stages. We need to start coordinating schedules and publicity plans."
"So, I am initially coordinating the schedule based on their types and degree of completion."
In fact, these matters can all be handled by the people below, but every boss has his own style.
Yang Rou's style is to participate in every detail, so at first Chen Yan felt sorry for her and wanted her to rest more, but later, he gradually got used to it.
Hearing Yang Rou say this, Chen Yan encouraged her, "With Sister Rou here, I feel especially relieved about the film and television company."
Yang Rou smiled at Chen Yan, her smile like a pink lotus blooming on the snow-capped mountains.
Delicate and pure, yet with a sense of distance that keeps people at a distance.
Chen Yan was also used to Yang Rou's expression.
He chatted with Yang Rou for a few more words, and then started talking about business.
"Sister Rou, it's like this."
"Manman came to see you at noon today. She should have told you about the recent problems the company has encountered: Zhao Qingtian suddenly took action against the company."
"Although this matter has been resolved satisfactorily, I am not a person who will sit still and wait for death, so... I want to fight back."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou, who had been expressionless, suddenly became interested.
She leaned forward involuntarily, looked at Chen Yan, and asked, "How do you want to fight back, Mr. Chen?"
Seeing that Yang Rou was interested, Chen Yan did not hide it from her and briefly told her about his plan.
Of course, because Yang Rou’s “character” is unclear now, Chen Yan only talked about part of the plan: exposing Zhao Qingtian’s black material, adding fuel to the flames, and causing a chaotic fight between the Zhao family and its branches.
But this part alone is enough.
After hearing this, Yang Rou frowned and began to ponder.
After a moment, she raised her head, looked at Chen Yan, and hinted, "The Zhao family has been deeply involved in the media for many years..."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "This is the era of all-network media."
"He can't be sealed."
"Can he shut up all the media outlets? Can he shut up all the self-media outlets on the Internet?"
"As long as there are some reports, he will have flaws."
"It's not like we don't have media connections. We can spend money to smooth things over when the time comes."
"The media are always following the trend. When they see that they can't stop the public opinion, they just follow the trend."
At this point, Chen Yan paused and continued, "The Zhao family is indeed a giant. But don't forget, that's more than a dozen branches and the main family combined."
"Now that there is a rift between the two sides, it would be great if the other branches did not take advantage of the situation. How could they use their connections to pressure us?"
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou pondered for a while again.
Finally, she nodded seriously.
"I think what you said makes sense."
She commented, "Zhao Qingtian took over the power, and the Zhao family and its branches became alienated. This should be the weakest time for the Zhao family in all these years."
"This is also the best time to attack Zhao Qingtian in all these years."
At this point, she looked at Chen Yan deeply and said,
"Then I'll go back tonight and sort out all the ugly things Zhao Qingtian has done over the years. I'll send it to you then."
What Chen Yan likes most about Yang Rou is: she is smart.
Maybe because she has been working in the business world for many years, Yang Rou knows what Chen Yan wants to do .
This made Chen Yan and Yang Rou feel extremely comfortable when they were together.
This may be the young woman's...
Just pat your butt and you will know what position to change to.
While pondering, Chen Yan nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll trouble Sister Rou."
At this point, he added, "The evidence for these things may not be complete, but it must be true."
"Besides, it's better to have some evidence, not just empty words."
Yang Rou nodded calmly, "I have a lot of these."
Chen Yan: ? ?
Chen Yan glanced at Yang Rou, and Yang Rou looked back at him indifferently.
Chen Yan silently shed a drop of cold sweat.
She is indeed a vengeful woman.
Over the years, no one knows how much negative information she has collected about Zhao Qingtian, waiting to be used in the future.
Yang Rou seemed to be a worm in Chen Yan's stomach. Even though Chen Yan didn't say what he was thinking, she still explained, "Over the years, I have been thinking about revenge."
"But after all, I have no money and no power."
“There is no such good opportunity.”
"So all this dirty stuff is in my hands."
“I never thought that one day I would be able to use them.”
Hearing Yang Rou talking about this, Chen Yan couldn't help but think of what Lu Man had just told him about "what happened between Yang Rou and Zhao Qingtian back then".
Now let’s finish talking about business.
He should also verify where the problem lies.
So, he coughed and asked, "Sister Rou, Manman just found me and talked to me about some things that happened between you and Zhao Qingtian in the past."
"Are those all true?"
In order to avoid Yang Rou's misunderstanding, Chen Yan added, "I'm not doubting you. I just didn't expect Zhao Qingtian to be so cruel."
As he said this, Chen Yan turned on his [Inner Earphones].
The noisy sounds in his ears gradually faded away, leaving only Yang Rou's slow and calm heartbeat in his ears.
At the same time, the voice in Yang Rou's heart and the voice in her mouth also sounded in Chen Yan's ears.
In my heart, "Of course it's true. Little Chen Yan, you still don't believe me...?"
He said, "It's all true, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yan: ? ?
Why do I always feel like something is not right?
While thinking, Chen Yan continued to listen to Yang Rou's inner thoughts.
Compared to the wrong things she usually said, Yang Rou's inner activities were more active.
Moreover, there were also some strange names for Chen Yan.
That tone carried a feeling of "interest", "joking" and "teasing", and it always felt... different from the usual Yang Rou.
Chen Yan couldn't help but look at Yang Rou.
There was a hint of interest and anger in Yang Rou's eyes.
However, after seeing Chen Yan looking at her, her eyes suddenly regained clarity and returned to her calm state.
Chen Yan: …
As expected, does Yang Nuannuan's two-sided personality come from her mother?
Is this ability to switch states at any time inherited from their family?
While thinking, Chen Yan smiled at Yang Rou and said, "Of course I believe you, Sister Rou."
"I'm just a little surprised by that."
After hearing Chen Yan's answer, Yang Rou's expression was obviously stunned.
Her inner voice also sounded again in Chen Yan's ears.
"I just asked Xiao Chenyan, does he not believe me?"
“No…”
Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that he had involuntarily answered Yang Rou's true feelings.
Fortunately, his answer was not a big problem and could be explained away.
Therefore, Chen Yan changed the subject at the right time, "Then this matter is settled."
"Once you have chosen the black material you want to expose, we can work together to come up with a countermeasure based on it."
Yang Rou was indeed distracted by Chen Yan's words and did not notice the small bug just now.
She nodded. "Okay."
While talking about this matter, Chen Yan took the opportunity to ask for her opinion on the matter and better suggestions.
So the two of them began to chat with each other.
However, Chen Yan was not very serious when chatting.
Because, at this moment, he had not yet recovered from Yang Rou's answer.
He was very confused.
Before, when they were online, "Yang Rou" clearly told me that she was the one who molested Zhao Qingtian, forcibly took his sperm, and then got pregnant.
In that story, Zhao Qingtian was the victim, and Yang Rou was a black-bellied, cold-hearted woman.
This is also the reason why Chen Yan started to keep his distance from Yang Rou recently.
However, in the story that Lu Man told Chen Yan just now, Yang Rou was a victim.
And she can be said to be a "perfect victim". She did nothing wrong throughout the whole process. It was Zhao Qingtian who deceived her and wanted to violate her.
Both of these came from Yang Rou's mouth.
Now Chen Yan has verified that the second one is true.
So…why did she lie when she was online?
As he thought about it, Chen Yan couldn't help but have a very "weird" thought: Could it be that... the person he was chatting with online was not Yang Rou? !
As soon as this idea came to mind, Chen Yan felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.
After all, for more than half a year, he had always treated the young woman author as Yang Rou.
When the two were chatting, Yang Rou's figure also appeared in Chen Yan's mind.
As a result... suddenly everything changed.
Chen Yan couldn't help but be shocked.
But then he began to hesitate again.
If this person is not Yang Rou, who could it be?
The man was obviously very familiar with Yang Rou, and knew what happened that year very clearly.
Chen Yan continued to expand: Moreover, that person’s position is still opposite to Yang Rou’s.
So, at that moment, an amazing idea was born in Chen Yan's mind.
Could it be that...
The young woman author is...
Zhao Qingtian? !
As soon as this thought came to mind, Chen Yan almost vomited.
He couldn't help but think of a saying: You never know whether there is a person or a dog on the other side of the Internet.
However, Chen Yan then comforted himself: Zhao Qingtian would never have so much time to chat online.
Moreover, all the information didn't match Yang Rou's.
He wondered: Could it be Yang Nuannuan?
But why did Yang Nuannuan use Yang Rou's identity? And why did she tell a story that was biased towards Zhao Qingtian?
Chen Yan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
He decided not to think about it anymore.
Anyway, I still have one more chance to use the [Inner Earphones], so I can just ask "Yang Rou" to see if there are any clues...
