Chapter 472 Did You Misunderstand Something?
As Chen Yan's younger brother, the thing Chen Yan likes most about Qin Ming is that he is obedient.
He never asked Chen Yan why he did this.
Or make your own arrangements.
Instead, as long as Chen Yan gave the order, he would execute it immediately.
So, after Chen Yan finished speaking, Qin Ming nodded and said, "Okay. Then I will contact the Gemini Hotel and ask them to arrange food and beverage for one more person."
Chen Yan said "hmm".
After talking about tomorrow's business, the atmosphere between the two became relaxed again.
Chen Yan took the initiative to ask about Qin Ming's situation at Toutiao.
Ever since he used Xiao Ha's Polaroid camera to verify the development of Toutiao last time and knew that Qin Ming was the most suitable person to manage the company, Chen Yan intentionally or unintentionally let Qin Ming start to participate in the operation of Toutiao.
Not only did he hand over all the voting and discussion rights of his board of directors to Qin Ming, but even the company employee who joined Toutiao Technology as deputy financial director was directly transferred to Qin Ming's subordinates.
Qin Ming, who holds a veto power and the right to supervise the company's finances, now has a certain say in the entire company.
He knew very well the purpose of Chen Yan giving him these powers, so he was also actively working in the company to win over his confidants.
Of course, he was very careful in doing all this.
Avoid being discovered by Zhang Yonghao and others.
Among them, the first task that Chen Yan gave him was to win over the core competitiveness of Toutiao Technology: the director of the technical department and the person in charge of Toutiao Technology's AI intelligent technology: Pang Wenbo.
During this period, Qin Ming would go to Tiandu whenever he had nothing to do to build a relationship with Pang Wenbo.
Pang Wenbo is a typical tech geek.
Code is his life and his girlfriend. So when Qin Ming talked to him about "women", he was very interested.
This shows that every otaku actually has a sultry heart.
After confirming that Qin Ming was making good progress, Chen Yan felt relieved.
He encouraged Qin Ming a few more words and then left Qin Ming's office.
After finishing tomorrow's plan, Chen Yan just needs to wait patiently.
He returned to the office and continued to handle the company's business.
Soon, a day passed.
The next day, Chen Yan got up from the bed.
He picked up his phone and checked the time.
It turned out that time was blocked by a WeChat message.
The WeChat message is from He Mengxue.
[Summer is coming, here is some information about the melting points of common substances: copper 1085°C, lead: 327°C, silver 961°C, me: good morning to you. ]
I don’t know since when, He Mengxue learned to say good morning every morning and good night every night.
Moreover, they were all cheesy love words that she had learned from some unknown source of cheap literature.
However, with just two sentences every day, it's not annoying.
Chen Yan never replied, and He Mengxue didn't care at all.
It's like a tacit understanding between the two of them.
I didn’t pay attention to the message sent by He Mengxue.
Chen Yan sat on the bed for a while, then clicked it as if possessed by a ghost; then he looked at Yang Nuannuan’s circle of friends.
Yang Nuannuan’s circle of friends has been updated again.
A simple breakfast picture. There is a bowl of porridge and a fried dough stick. The caption is: [Good morning, world. Good morning. You.]
Chen Yan opened the small account that pretended to be the company's HR and added Yang Nuannuan, and took a look at Yang Nuannuan's circle of friends.
As expected, there was nothing inside.
Apparently, this is another post that Yang Nuannuan only sent to her own circle of friends.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still resisted the urge to like this post.
He is now in an unclear relationship with Yang Rou.
If I continue to provoke Yang Nuannuan, it would be really a bit of a scumbag.
Although now I know that they are only mother and daughter in name, they are still mother and daughter in name. Therefore, Chen Yan still has to be more cautious.
After seeing the situations of these two girls who had been pursuing him or had a crush on him, Chen Yan put down his phone, then got up and washed up.
After washing up, Chen Yan used a hair dryer to blow dry his hair into a nice-looking style.
While blowing, he was also daydreaming: When I was a kid, I always looked forward to growing up. So I would secretly wear adult clothes and comb my hair like an adult.
But when I grew up, I realized... adults actually don't have hair.
Just like the technical boss of the gaming company: Cheng Tianxiang.
In the past, the countryside surrounded the cities, but now there is almost no hair left.
Yesterday afternoon, during a meeting at the game company, Chen Yan discovered this fact. Cheng Tianxiang still refused to admit it. He insisted that it was because the weather was too hot and he shaved it himself.
The whole office is filled with a fresh atmosphere.
This also reminded Chen Yan that you can never make enough money, but you can lose all your hair.
So, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
After daydreaming, Chen Yan dried his hair, had breakfast, packed up, and went to the company.
The day passed quickly.
Soon, it was time for dinner as agreed in the evening.
He Mengxue, who had been notified by Qin Ming early on, slipped into Chen Yan's office before leaving get off work.
When she came to Chen Yan's company, she didn't consider herself an outsider. She just sat on the table, crossed her long legs, supported her chin, and looked at Chen Yan intently.
Chen Yan was reading a document. He was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her all of a sudden. So he looked up at her and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
He Mengxue showed a sweet and gentle smile on her face, "Do you want to see if you can collect money?"
Chen Yan's mind raced and he guessed that He Mengxue was going to say something twisted.
He guessed that if he said "no", He Mengxue would definitely say, "Then why do you care whether I look at you or not~".
So, he did the opposite and nodded directly, "Take it. Look, I'm not cheap."
Who knew that He Mengxue didn't play by the rules at all.
Hearing Chen Yan say this, she said "Oh~" and then said, "But I don't have any money. Otherwise, I will marry you."
"Giving you a daughter will be considered as a cost for you."
Chen Yan: …
At that moment, Chen Yan was convinced.
He felt that he had really underestimated He Mengxue.
This girl didn't even think about how to refute me. Instead, she was trying to block both ends!
So he pretended not to hear these words, continued to look at the documents, and turned off the microphone.
Seeing Chen Yan's naughty look, He Mengxue was not in a hurry. She even looked at Chen Yan with interest, as if she felt that no matter how Chen Yan answered, he was still so cute...
After processing the documents, it was time to leave.
Chen Yan stood up, prepared to let He Mengxue get down from the table, and got ready to leave.
Before he could even open his mouth, He Mengxue naturally got down from the table, stepped forward, and straightened Chen Yan's suit.
That gentle and considerate action made Chen Yan's heart tremble.
I wonder if I can feel my heartbeat when I’m sorting my clothes.
He Mengxue clearly felt that something was wrong with Chen Yan.
She still kept her head down, then raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Yan.
That gentle look made Chen Yan's heart beat even faster.
And that’s not all, He Mengxue took the initiative to take a step forward.
At that moment, she and Chen Yan were almost stuck together.
Then, she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Chen Yan's neck.
But because she always knew the scale.
So, although the two were very close, Chen Yan did not feel any "oppression".
He could only feel the vague softness of his chest.
I could only smell the pleasant scent of jasmine in my nose.
And just when he was about to make a move.
He Mengxue raised her hand to straighten Chen Yan's collar twice, then stepped back with a smile, looked Chen Yan up and down, and said with a smile, "Okay. This is perfect."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at her.
He Mengxue actually looked at him with the nerve to ask, "What's wrong? I'm just helping you fix your clothes. Did you misunderstand something?"
Chen Yan: …
When you ask this question, you can't say that I misunderstood, right?
This woman definitely did it on purpose!
I am just waiting for myself to lose control and take the initiative to attack!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan became even more determined. He must hold on and not let this woman succeed!
So, he snorted and said, "I didn't misunderstand. I just thought you were helping me with my clothes."
He Mengxue nodded with a smile, then glanced at Chen Yan's pants, smiled charmingly, and turned around to get her bag.
Chen Yan: …
…
He Mengxue was not serious in private, but when it came to work, she became more serious.
On the way to the Gemini Hotel with He Mengxue, Chen Yan clearly felt her change.
After arriving at the Gemini Hotel, she completely immersed herself in her own identity, no longer overstepping her boundaries in her work, and doing things impartially. Moreover, she kept repeating the information Qin Ming had given her into Chen Yan's ear.
However, in the end, this information was actually of little use.
Because, when he saw Zhao Hengyu, Chen Yan couldn't help but recall what he was thinking this morning when he was blow-drying his hair: Sure enough... adults don't have hair.
Originally, Chen Yan thought that Zhao Hengyu, as the most popular candidate for the head of the Zhao family this generation, should be a gentle and kind person.
As a result, to his surprise, Zhang Hengyu looked like he had a face full of flesh, a shaved head, and a fierce look when he smiled. It seemed like he was going to pick up a table and smash it on the other person's head in the next second.
This surprised Chen Yan a little, and he inexplicably felt that it was not unfair for him to lose to Zhao Qingtian.
If he were an older generation member of the Zhao family, they probably wouldn't have chosen him.
After all, this is about electing the chairman of a company, not a gang leader.
When she saw Zhao Hengyu, He Mengxue was also stunned. Obviously, even though she had collected some information, she did not expect that the person in front of her was Zhao Hengyu.
Being able to become a candidate for the Zhao family's patriarch, Zhao Hengyu must be quite capable. Even though Chen Yan and He Mengxue hid their emotions very well, he could see their surprise at a glance.
So, he smiled and touched his bald head and said, "It's been hot recently. So I shaved my head."
Chen Yan: …
Why does this reason seem so familiar?
Are the reasons of middle-aged men all the same?
While sighing, Chen Yan quickly calmed himself down, then he said with a smile, "This hairstyle really suits you..."
Talking nonsense that he himself didn't even believe, Chen Yan took Zhao Hengyu to the private room with a smile.
After the two of them sat down, He Mengxue quietly handed over a mobile phone.
Chen Yan glanced down.
On the phone screen was a handsome guy who looked about 60% like Zhang Hengyu, with thick hair.
Chen Yan looked at He Mengxue and asked with his mouth, "His son?"
He Mengxue shook her head and mouthed, "He."
Chen Yan: …
Time is really a butcher's knife. One cut after another.
After expressing his feelings inwardly for a few words, Chen Yan smiled and started chatting with Zhao Hengyu.
Zhao Hengyu's profile showed him to be 50 years old, but when I saw him in person, I found that he looked like a man in his 30s.
Moreover, contrary to his appearance, he spoke with a bold voice and did not use his status as an elder to put others down. He just communicated with them like a friend.
This gave Chen Yan a very good impression of him.
So, after a few tentative conversations, Chen Yan also turned the topic to Zhao Qingtian at the right time.
He asked, "Uncle Hengyu, what do you think of Zhao Qingtian?"
Hearing Chen Yan's question, Zhao Hengyu's face suddenly became serious.
He said, "Zhao Qingtian..."
"He is not a character to be trifled with."
"Moreover, he has a perverse and violent temper, and is vindictive. He is a real villain."
"He and I used to have competition. We were enemies, sort of."
At this point, he asked Chen Yan, "Why are you asking him suddenly? Do you have a conflict with him?"
Chen Yan was actually quite satisfied when he heard what Zhao Hengyu said.
What he needed was an ally, someone who could help him deal with Zhao Qingtian from within the Zhao family.
Now it seems that Zhao Hengyu meets the requirements of this candidate.
Therefore, Chen Yan instinctively wanted to express his opinion of Zhao Qingtian.
However, when the words came to his lips, he froze.
Because he felt that this matter was a little too important, he wanted to be more safe.
So, thinking this way, he turned on his [Inner Earphones], wanting to hear what Zhao Hengyu was thinking...
…
After a moment, Chen Yan turned off his [Inner Earphones], then said with a smile, "I guess I have a little conflict with him."
"I don't know why he suddenly sued me. So I fought back."
"But... now all the revenge has been taken."
"I also want to ease the relationship with him."
"I went to Uncle Hengyu this time for this purpose."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Mengxue was shocked.
She couldn't help but look at Chen Yan.
But before she could make any move, she felt her hand being grabbed by Chen Yan.
She stopped her movements reflexively and even tried to make her performance more natural.
However, Zhao Hengyu was obviously in no mood to pay attention to her, because he also looked at Chen Yan in shock.
After a moment, he put away the expression on his face and said in a surprised tone, "Chen Yan... I thought everyone in the circle knew about the matter between Zhao Qingtian and me."
"I don't have a good relationship with him. He stole my position as the head of the family."
"Now, you actually come to me to make peace. Are you really not kidding me?"
Hearing Zhao Hengyu's words, Chen Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Hengyu. Of course I'm not kidding."
He said, "I know you don't get along with him."
"But I also know that your Tianfu Zhao family is still the most powerful branch. He has to give you face."
"Although I don't want to continue fighting with him, I don't want to admit my mistakes either."
" After all, I now have a family and a career."
"Besides, this incident was not caused by me."
"So... I'm looking for you as a peacemaker. I'll be considered as someone on your side. It will save both my and his face."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhao Hengyu's face really showed a thoughtful expression for a moment.
After a moment, he said, "Let's discuss this matter later."
Just at this time, the waiter started serving the dishes.
So, the two of them stopped talking at the right time.
Among them, only He Mengxue noticed Chen Yan's nervousness.
Because... Chen Yan was holding her hand and he was actually sweating, making her hand wet, itchy and a little uncomfortable.
After all, this was the first time she saw Chen Yan so nervous.
When all the dishes were served, Chen Yan was very enthusiastic and took up the serving chopsticks several times to help Zhao Hengyu with the dishes.
However, Zhao Hengyu just said thank you and didn't say anything else.
The meal passed in this state of disharmony between the appearance and the heart.
After dinner, Chen Yan sent Zhao Hengyu back to his hotel room.
When Zhao Hengyu walked into the room, Chen Yan couldn't help but add, "Uncle Hengyu, please consider my matter again."
"If you have any conditions, feel free to ask."
Zhao Hengyu just said "hmm" in a dull voice. He didn't say yes or no.
After he closed the door, Chen Yan and He Mengxue left the hotel hand in hand.
When they got outside the hotel, He Mengxue couldn't bear it any longer.
She looked around and made sure no one was noticing them. She couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yan. Why did you change your mind at the last minute?"
"Aren't we here to find allies and cause trouble for Zhao Qingtian?"
Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan said unhappily, "Look for it. What trouble are you looking for?"
"If it weren't for my wit. We were really scolded, and we were still helping others count money!"
He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan with confusion.
After a moment, she opened her mouth in sudden realization.
She first pointed at the hotel, then pointed in the opposite direction of Tiandu, her face full of surprise and doubt.
Chen Yan nodded seriously and said, "Yes. They are in the same group!"
When talking about this, Chen Yan got goose bumps all over his body!
The two candidates for the Zhao family's current head of family competition are actually in the same group? !
The entire election for the head of the family was simply a show between the two of them!
That's a trillion-dollar conglomerate with hundreds of thousands of employees and tentacles covering all walks of life!
How dare these two people play such a sneaky trick!
Moreover, he has been acting for so many years?!
If Chen Yan hadn't heard these inner words himself through his [inner earphones], he wouldn't have believed it!
Just when Chen Yan was standing at the door of the hotel, confused and uncertain.
Suddenly, two men in black came over from the side of the road.
They came to Chen Yan and took out an iPad from his briefcase.
Chen Yan came back to his senses and looked at them with a puzzled look.
Then the leading man in black said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. My boss asked me to give this to you."
After hearing what the man in black said, Chen Yan did not reach out to take the iPad.
Instead, he asked, "Who is your boss?"
The man in black said concisely, "Zhao Xuan."
Chen Yan's pupils contracted slightly.
"Zhao Xuan?!"
