Chapter 509 He Mengxue is going to eat people
Things went so smoothly that Chen Yan was a little surprised and doubtful.
After all, he was used to things going through twists and turns. Now that there was no twist at all, it was no wonder he was overthinking.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, things still developed in the established direction.
At the dinner table, Mr. Cao's attitude remained enthusiastic, even a little humble, and his subordinates were also very enthusiastic, coming forward one after another to toast him.
The etiquette was still very much in place: they did it, and Chen Yan was casual.
Chen Yan was not really interested in drinking, but seeing how enthusiastic they were, he didn't hold back and just drank one cup after another, winning constant cheers from the whole table.
After the meal, Chen Yan felt a little dizzy.
He didn't drink too much: after all, his current physical fitness was +9, so this little bit of alcohol wouldn't have much effect on him. But... after being praised by so many people for a whole night, he felt a little dizzy.
After finishing the meal, the group came outside. This time, Mr. Cao did not enthusiastically let Chen Yan go first.
After all, Chen Yan was the host of the banquet, and according to etiquette, Mr. Cao should leave first.
Before leaving, Mr. Cao patted Chen Yan on the back and said that he would notify several shareholders tomorrow and give Chen Yan an accurate answer then.
But he said it was not a big problem, so Chen Yan could rest assured.
What could Chen Yan say but to respond with a smile.
After seeing off Mr. Cao, only Chen Yan, Song Chuang and He Mengxue were left at the hotel entrance.
Jiang Xiaoyun didn't receive any notification and was still waiting in the car.
Chen Yan looked at the lights of the car going away, and looked at Song Chuang beside him with a puzzled look, "Are you and Mr. Cao related?"
After hearing what Chen Yan said, Song Chuang couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Do you think we look alike?"
Chen Yan pondered, "Distant relative?"
Maybe because of the alcohol, Song Chuang let himself go a little. He rolled his eyes and said, "You might as well say he's an illegitimate child."
Chen Yan was surprised for a moment, "So, between you and him, who is the son?"
Song Chuang: ...
Seeing that he couldn't beat Chen Yan in a joke, Song Chuang stopped asking for trouble and replied seriously, "I have nothing to do with him."
"Today is also the first time we met. When I asked him out, it was through a friend."
Chen Yan, "Then your friend..."
Song Chuang interrupted Chen Yan's joke unhappily, "It has nothing to do with him!"
He was so angry that he lightly hit Chen Yan, and then said, "Mr. Chen, you must have drunk too much. You always make jokes."
Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud twice.
After laughing, he asked seriously, "Then what's the matter with his attitude?"
Seeing that they were finally talking about business, Song Chuang's expression became more serious. He frowned slightly and said, "I don't know either."
"But I don't think it's a bad thing...right?"
Chen Yan asked, "Isn't it a bad thing?"
"Is it possible that he is just dealing with me?"
"Agree now, and then find a reason to reject me tomorrow."
Song Chuang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "If that's the case, there's no need for him to come. After all, if he doesn't come, he's expressing his attitude."
"This is business as usual. No personal feelings involved."
"But if I come and make promises first but then play tricks on you, I will only offend you."
"There's no reason for him to do that."
Chen Yan was also a little confused, "That's indeed the case..."
"Why is that?"
Could it be...is everything really going so smoothly?
At this time, He Mengxue, who had listened to the two men's conversation, smiled and took Chen Yan's arm, then said, "What happened has happened. There is no point in thinking about it now."
"Just wait and see tomorrow. "
After that, she added, "Xiao Yunke has been waiting for us. She hasn't even eaten yet. Let's call her first."
After hearing He Mengxue's reminder, Chen Yan and Song Chuang remembered Jiang Xiaoyun.
So, they stopped thinking about it and contacted Jiang Xiaoyun and asked her to pick up the three of them.
After getting in the car, although Jiang Xiaoyun repeatedly said that she had bought and eaten dinner while waiting for everyone, Chen Yan still forced her to take the three of them to a barbecue restaurant for another midnight snack.
So, late at night, the four of them ate some barbecue again.
This meant that when Chen Yan and He Mengxue returned to the hotel, it was already past midnight.
For Qindao, this time is the time when everything is quiet and everyone is falling asleep, but for the international metropolis of Tiandu, it is just the time when the nightlife has just begun.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Yan chatted with He Mengxue for a few words and then walked into the house.
Halfway through his walk, He Mengxue's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Chen Yan~~Do you want to know why everything went so smoothly tonight, and why Mr. Cao was so cooperative?"
Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan couldn't help but stop and looked back at He Mengxue in confusion.
He Mengxue was wearing a little dress and leaning on the table. She had a curvy body and looked very beautiful.
At this moment, she was looking at Chen Yan with a charming face, with a hint of pride and provocation in her eyes, as if she really knew a secret that Chen Yan didn't know.
Chen Yan loosened the collar of his suit and asked, "You know?"
He Mengxue nodded proudly, her eyes moving with ripples.
Chen Yan said, "Tell me about it?"
He Mengxue stretched out her hand and hooked her finger at Chen Yan, "Then you... come here first."
For some reason, Chen Yan always felt that at that moment, He Mengxue's aura was extremely powerful. It was like an elf queen wearing an evening gown, a crown, and holding a scepter, looking down at him and shouting, "Come here and kneel down to lick me."
Chen Yan: …
He shook his head to dispel the fantasies in his mind.
Chen Yan walked over, then looked at He Mengxue and said, "Go ahead."
He Mengxue's soft and boneless hands gently rested on Chen Yan's shoulders, then she leaned closer and whispered, "Actually, it's very simple."
"The old Wave is going downhill, and Weibo is their only high-value asset."
"And they already have absolute voting rights in Weibo through the A and B shares. They are not afraid of the company changing hands at all."
“But they hold too many shares.”
"Appropriate dilution and selling of shares will not result in loss of control and will allow management to cash out some cash, which is a very reasonable behavior."
When Chen Yan heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He felt that He Mengxue's analysis did make sense.
Seeing that Chen Yan had listened, He Mengxue continued,
"After talking about them, let's talk about you."
"You are the most powerful emerging rich man in the past two years. Your main base is the entertainment industry, which is closely related to Weibo."
"It is actually beneficial for them to accept you and win you over now."
Chen Yan couldn't help but look at He Mengxue.
He Mengxue smiled and said, "Because this is equivalent to an extra layer of protection."
"If you own their shares, you are like a family. In this way, when your industry becomes bigger, you will not consider taking your celebrities to Weibo's competing apps, and they can continue to eat up the traffic in the entertainment industry."
"So, for them, getting you to invest and getting cash is the best of both worlds."
Hearing He Mengxue's words, Chen Yan couldn't help but mutter, "Competing app? Competing...?"
After a moment, his eyes lit up, "You mean... Toutiao Technology? "
He Mengxue smiled and nodded, adding, "To be more precise, it's Douyin."
"You are a major shareholder of Douyin. Douyin is now seizing the short video market. This market is actually closely related to media social networking, entertainment stars, etc."
"Once Douyin becomes big, it will inevitably squeeze their users' time."
"And if you take the stars out, their situation will be even more difficult."
"So, they are also planning ahead."
"The bet is that you can dominate the entertainment industry."
"After all, your actions during this period have not concealed your ambitions at all."
After listening to He Mengxue's analysis, Chen Yan thought about it again, and then nodded with satisfaction, "What you said makes sense."
He praised, "I didn't expect you to have done so much homework in advance."
He Mengxue raised her nose proudly, "Of course."
After being proud, she looked at Chen Yan again, her eyes full of affection, "After all, your business is the most important thing to me."
As she was talking, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the strap of her black dress slipped down slightly, revealing her fair shoulders and a half-naked chest.
Coupled with her slightly drunk and rosy face, the kind of beauty that was like a woman holding a pipa and half covering her face, immediately made the blood in Chen Yan's body begin to surge upwards.
He tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, but his hand couldn't help but touch He Mengxue's shoulders, "Don't do this."
It felt smooth and tender to the touch, and Chen Yan pulled his hand away as if he had been electrocuted.
When He Mengxue saw Chen Yan succeed at the beginning, there was a hint of pride in her eyes, but when she saw Chen Yan looking away, her eyes couldn't help but dim again.
She looked at Chen Yan and asked, "Why...can't you accept me?"
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "There are too many things happening around me. You are a good girl. I..."
He Mengxue, who was drunk, interrupted him mercilessly and asked a question that hit Chen Yan's heart, "Then Lu Man is not a good girl? Yu Qiaoqiao is not a good girl?"
"The one from the Zhao family isn't a good girl?"
Chen Yan couldn't help but be silent again.
He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan with her eyebrows raised, looking at Chen Yan a little angrily, and said, "Do you think that I am not a good girl because I smoke, drink, and hang out in bars?"
Chen Yan looked at her in astonishment.
He Mengxue explained, "I was just under a lot of pressure and wanted to relieve it. I own the bar, so there's nothing messy going on."
"I am just like Yu Qiaoqiao and the others, we are all pure."
Chen Yan quickly waved his hands, "That's not what I meant."
He said, "Although I think other girls like this are probably not good girls. But you... are still different."
He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan and said, "Is it because of my dad? Are you afraid that if you let me down, my dad won't let you go?"
Chen Yan coughed, "A little bit, but it's actually okay. After all, I'm now richer than him, and I don't socialize in the same industry, so he can't affect me at all."
He Mengxue was confused now, "Why?"
Chen Yan actually didn’t know how to explain it.
He actually likes He Mengxue very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen He Mengxue as his girlfriend.
But perhaps because of this, he always felt that He Mengxue would definitely be his.
Therefore, he didn't want to make things more complicated before things around him were sorted out.
Chen Yan was sorting out his thoughts, but in He Mengxue's eyes, she felt that Chen Yan was remaining silent and did not want to answer her questions.
So, all at once, all the grievances she had suffered during this period came to He Mengxue's mind.
Every day I watch Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao going out together, watch Chen Yan and Lu Man flirting with each other, watch Chen Yan and Zhao Ying... being sneaky.
But she couldn't get it no matter what she wanted.
How could she not feel wronged? !
Sometimes, she even wants to ask God, is it true that only dogs who lick the door can get a house? !
However, she asked her best friend, men and women are different, if you lick them for a long time, they will become soft sooner or later...
Why is Chen Yan so different? !
For a moment, He Mengxue felt a little dizzy.
Maybe because she was drunk, she became a lot bolder.
So she looked at Chen Yan and pushed her hand forward suddenly.
Chen Yan didn't expect He Mengxue to suddenly attack him. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the house was covered with carpet, so he fell softly and was not injured.
But then, he felt his body sink, and He Mengxue fell directly on him.
At that moment, Chen Yan panicked for a moment, and then he had only one thought in his mind: Oh my god, the tiger is going to eat people.
