Chapter 481 Morning Tenderness
I picked up the phone and heard Lao Chen's voice, "Son, are you busy?"
Chen Yan smiled helplessly, "Dad, it's morning now. How can you be busy?"
Lao Chen said, "That's right. Have you eaten yet?"
Chen Yan actually knew exactly what his father was thinking, so he said as he cooked, "I'm cooking. Dad...if you want to say something, just say it quickly."
Hearing his son's words, Lao Chen was not embarrassed at all. He smiled cheerfully and said, "Your mother and I still want to talk to you about what happened yesterday."
"After much thought, we decided that we still wanted to meet Miss Lu Man."
Hearing that Old Chen mentioned Lu Man again, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He looked at the closed door and whispered, "Didn't I tell you? She's a little busy lately."
"Besides...what on earth do you want to see her for?"
Lao Chen said, "We really just want to chase stars."
"You don't know, Lu Man is very famous now. All our neighbors know her. They also know that she works in your company."
"So we wanted to meet her."
Chen Yan didn't believe what Old Chen said at all.
While cooking, he said, "She's been really busy lately."
He patiently explained, "We have several projects coming up recently, and she has to be busy promoting them."
"Besides, she is the general manager of the company and has to attend various press conferences and meet many reporters. She doesn't have time."
At this point, Chen Yan paused and said, "I told you all this yesterday. Why didn't you believe it?"
Chen Yan discovered that people become more stubborn as they get older.
And, for some reason, they seem to only want to hear what they want to hear and want their children to do what they want to do.
Maybe because he hasn’t reached that age yet, Chen Yan doesn’t understand why this is happening.
Maybe it’s because he has lived for decades and has developed solid values, and believes that everything he does is for the good of his children?
Maybe this is just the character of that generation?
So, Chen Yan could only explain it over and over again.
Just as Chen Yan was thinking this, Old Chen became unusually reasonable.
He said, "Your mother and I understand you."
"Since you've been busy lately, how about we meet again after you're done with this?"
Chen Yan finally understood: Old Chen and the others just wanted definite news.
He hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but was afraid that Lao Chen would continue to "harass" him. If he delayed the time, Yu Qiaoqiao would get up and hear the conversation between him and him, which would be troublesome.
So, after thinking it over again and again, Chen Yan finally agreed, "Okay. Three months later. By then, our batch of projects will be finished."
"When the time comes, I'll bring her back to see you."
Hearing that it would take so long, Lao Chen obviously wanted to refuse.
However, Chen Yan seemed to vaguely hear his mother say a few words, so Old Chen finally agreed.
Afterwards, he also showed some "hypocritical" concern for Chen Yan, asking Chen Yan to eat on time, take good care of himself, not just focus on making money, exercise more, and so on.
Chen Yan shook his head and agreed, then hung up the phone.
The reason why it was called "hypocritical" was because Chen Yan knew that what they cared more about was the meeting with Lu Man.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan shook his head again and sighed.
Actually... despite all the complaints, he still understands his parents very well.
When children reach a certain age, parents will actually encounter a lot of pressure.
Neighbors always ask a few questions from time to time: Are you in love? Are you married? Do you have a child?
Especially for those who were relocated like Chen Yan's parents, although they lived in an apartment building, whether they were going up and down the stairs or in the community, they were actually still the same people in the village, so it was easier for them to gossip about their families.
Sometimes, if Old Liu next door said something careless, Old Chen would go home and be angry for a few days.
This is how the elderly are, especially those who have many acquaintances, they are particularly likely to care about what others think.
Therefore, they are particularly easy to be influenced by the people around them, and then influence their children again.
Chen Yan actually hates this kind of thing, but as people get older, they may really become more sensible.
As time went by, Chen Yan found that his parents were getting older. He was now very accommodating to them.
No matter what they want to do, Chen Yan will try his best to satisfy them.
and……
Chen Yan was cooking, and his mind was a little blank...
The women around me have indeed reached the marriageable age. Even if I delay them, how many years can I delay?
If in the end they find that they can't get a satisfactory answer from me, won't they leave me?
Chen Yan was very suspicious...
So he was also considering how to solve these problems.
But up to now, he only had a vague idea, and had not yet determined how to proceed. So... he kept dragging it out.
However, the call from his parents reminded Chen Yan to face this problem.
Yang Rou was okay, she was almost 40 years old and had a daughter in name. No one said anything bad about her.
Lu Man and He Mengxue are approaching 30 years old. It is time to marry and have children later.
Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying will also be doing internships in their senior year this year and will graduate in another year.
He really should think about how to solve this problem.
Because of the call from his parents, Chen Yan almost burnt the food.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he came to his senses and quickly saved the situation, thus avoiding a tragedy.
After cooking, Chen Yan put the dishes in the pot to keep them warm, then went back to the room to check on Yu Qiaoqiao.
Yu Qiaoqiao was still sleeping soundly in the house.
Even though her physical fitness increased by +1, it only made her body gradually become more like an ordinary person.
Chen Yan is a monster with a physique of +9, which is simply beyond her ability to withstand.
So, she was tired for a very long time last night.
Chen Yan sat beside her bed, holding his chin and looking at her, thinking about every little detail .
The more I thought about it, the more I liked and sympathized with this girl.
Just as Chen Yan was looking at her, Yu Qiaoqiao, who was sleeping, trembled her long eyelashes, and then slowly opened her eyes.
Because she had just woken up, Yu Qiaoqiao's vision was a little blurry. She could only vaguely see a figure beside her bed.
She blinked, and everything in front of her became clear, and Chen Yan appeared beside her.
Seeing that it was her beloved, Yu Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly curved into two crescents of joy. She asked sweetly, "Chen Yan, are you awake?"
Chen Yan came back to his senses, looked at Yu Qiaoqiao with gentle eyes, nodded, then reached out and touched Yu Qiaoqiao's head, and said, "Yes. You woke up early. I even made breakfast for you."
"Hurry up and eat."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao said "Hmm~~" coquettishly, then climbed up, buried her head in Chen Yan's arms, and said coquettishly in a low voice, "But I still want you to hug me."
As her personality became more cheerful, Yu Qiaoqiao gradually began to act like a little spoiled brat. Every time this happened, Chen Yan's heart became especially soft.
He hugged Yu Qiaoqiao gently, and then said lovingly, "Okay~ Hug me then."
Yu Qiaoqiao lay happily in Chen Yan's arms and closed her eyes comfortably, like a cute and delicate little animal.
Just like that, the two of them were affectionate for a while, and then Yu Qiaoqiao sensibly got up from Chen Yan and went to the bathroom to wash and clean up.
After a while, she finished cleaning up and Chen Yan had already brought the food up.
The two had breakfast together, and then went to work and school together.
After sending Yu Qiaoqiao to school, Chen Yan said goodbye to her and went to the company, where he got back into his busy work.
In two days, it will be the day for "The Legend of Mi Yue" and "The Legend of Mi Yue" to face off against each other.
This showdown between the new and old "rulers" attracted the attention of the circle.
It also made Chen Yan pay great attention to it.
He still used the "money tactics" that he was best at, spending money one after another to buy press releases, hot searches, and publicity.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, he did it all.
This display of wealth and power made everyone in the circle stunned.
They felt that Chen Yan didn't come here to do business, but rather to spend money.
If you spend money like this, how much money do you have to earn to make it back?
Chen Yan is certainly not stupid. In addition to knowing that this drama will definitely be a big hit, the current publicity will only make the drama get on track faster, and because of the cashback!
Now the 4x cashback from his career has become his most important source of funds.
The cash back from the last purchase of 2 billion shares of Toutiao Technology has begun to arrive in my account during this period.
The futures market is still what Chen Yan is best at and most accustomed to.
By adding leverage, short selling and long selling, Chen Yan was like a general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, wielding his power and making great efforts to stir up trouble in the international financial market and causing bloodshed.
In Hong Kong's financial circles, Chen Yan's name has become extremely famous recently, and he has become a legendary figure that cannot be avoided by those studying finance and futures.
After a busy day's work, Chen Yan called Sister Meili and asked about Lu Man's current whereabouts.
With the implementation of the Chaoyang Project and the increasing status of Chenlu Pictures in the industry, Lu Man has become increasingly busy.
She is almost becoming a frequent flyer, flying from one city to another every day.
I complain to Chen Yan every day on the phone and on WeChat.
Talk about how tiring work is, how much you miss Chen Yan, and how much you want a vacation.
However, Chen Yan, who was familiar with her personality, always felt that she was actually enjoying it.
She enjoys the feeling of being at the center of the world.
I like to be surrounded by people.
Loving life living in the spotlight.
Once, Chen Yan went to visit the crew, and he and Sister Meili watched Lu Man filming together on the set.
Chen Yan deeply agreed with Sister Meili’s sentiments.
She said that Lu Man might really be a natural superstar. She was 10,000 times more beautiful in front of the camera than usual.
She didn't mean that the camera had a beauty filter, but... every time she faced the camera, Lu Man could always show an indescribable brilliance and beauty...
…
After the call was connected, Chen Yan chatted with Sister Meili for a few words and asked about Lu Man's schedule.
Fortunately, Lu Man is filming a guest role in Qindao today and will go home in the evening.
Chen Yan asked Sister Meili to tell Lu Man that he would go to see her in the evening.
The beautiful sister on the phone was obviously hesitant.
After a moment, she whispered, "Mr. Chen, Manman has been too busy with company matters recently. Can you please not make her so tired?"
The innocent Chen Yan almost didn't understand what Sister Meili meant.
Finally, he smiled and said, "You think too much. I just chatted with her about something. Nothing much."
Of course, he didn't say the second half of the sentence: If she wants it, then I can't do anything about it...
Sister Meili asked a few questions doubtfully before agreeing to pass on the message.
After work, Chen Yan went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses. Then he went to the building where he used to work and bought the pork ribs rice that Lu Man had always liked. Then he went to Lu Man's house with the flowers and the pork ribs rice.
Arriving at Lu Man's house, Chen Yan knocked on the door.
No one opened the door.
Lu Man probably hasn't returned home yet.
Chen Yan took out his spare key and opened the door.
The door opened, and Qiaoqiao's cat "Marshmallow" was looking at Chen Yan at the door.
When it saw that it was Chen Yan, it blinked its blue eyes, and then walked back to its nest with a cat-like gait as if nothing had happened.
This "gift cat" that Chen Yan and Lu Man bought for Yu Qiaoqiao gradually developed feelings for Lu Man after staying at Lu Man's house for a long time.
Lu Man was reluctant to let it go, and it didn't want to leave either.
So, in the end, Yu Qiaoqiao had to temporarily leave it at Lu Man's house out of reluctance.
Usually, Lu Man raises it himself.
When I am not at home, I will use the electric cat food machine and the automatic cat water dispenser to prepare delicious food for it. If I am away on business for too long, Yu Qiaoqiao will come to help take care of it from time to time.
This cat is quite smart and usually doesn't get annoying. When it's alone, it always eats well and doesn't cause any worries.
After closing the door, Chen Yan put the things on the table, then went to the cat bed and picked up Marshmallow, stroking him while patiently waiting for Lu Man to come home...
