Chapter 610: Not from this World
For truly independent women, feelings are never the only thing in life.
There are so many colorful things in their lives.
Career, money, power, sense of accomplishment, all the things that men can pursue are also things that they can pursue.
They are the real feminists.
Therefore, Yang Rou didn't care about the "future" that Chen Yan wanted to give her.
Even to her, it didn't matter whether she had a legitimate status or whether she could be with Chen Yan legitimately.
She has a clear understanding of her own positioning and is Chen Yan's soul mate and business partner.
Although she loves Chen Yan very much, for her who is relatively rational, feelings are something that fluctuates and changes like the waves, and only when interests are tied together can they be eternal.
Even if the relationship between these two people fades in the future, they will still be partners and relatives...
When Chen Yan first heard her explanation, he really thought she was just too considerate, so she chose to put herself in a difficult position. But after using the [Inner Headphones] to listen to her inner voice, Chen Yan realized that she really thought so.
Especially after Chen Yan discovered the truth, he triggered Yang Rou's [Ultimate Mission], and he became more convinced that this was indeed Yang Rou's true thought.
[The first part of Yang Rou's ultimate mission: Properly arrange the future of several girls and prove her ability.]
So far, Chen Yan has triggered the ultimate missions of four girlfriends.
In comparison, the other three seem a bit "empty", and Chen Yan has to figure them out on his own.
Only Yang Rou's is particularly direct.
Chen Yan didn’t know whether this was because the other three girlfriends were selected by the system and Yang Rou was chosen by himself, or because her personality was different from the other three girlfriends.
The answer to this question can only be found when He Mengxue's final mission is triggered.
However, compared to Yang Rou's easy solution, Chen Yan had a hard time breaking the situation with He Mengxue.
There are two main reasons why I ran into a wall with He Mengxue.
One is that, up to now, He Mengxue's favorability has not yet reached full value.
After Mingming was chosen as Yun Yang's girlfriend, her favorability level was very high, and the subsequent growth was also very rapid, even comparable to Yu Qiaoqiao at the beginning.
But when her favorability increased to 199 points, it seemed to be stuck and did not move.
Chen Yan found many reasons but couldn't figure it out.
The second question is He Mengxue’s future.
Compared to Lu Man, who has a special profession, Yu Qiaoqiao, who has a special family, Yang Rou, who is special in age and identity, and... Zhao Ying, who has a special personality, everything about He Mengxue is very normal.
This means that if Chen Yan wants to be with her, he can only solve the problems uprightly and cannot try to take shortcuts.
Not to mention anything else, it would be very difficult for Chen Yan to get past He Ruifeng alone.
As the local emperor of Qindao, the He family had everything, and He Mengxue also had everything.
Therefore, it is impossible for He Ruifeng to let his daughter suffer.
Chen Yan wanted to have a chat several times, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity...
…
On Tuesday, Chen Yan went to the company to continue working while worrying about He Mengxue's matter.
Although he knew that his success was mainly due to the system, in the eyes of outsiders, he relied on his own abilities.
Especially after the two major battles with Toutiao Technology and Zhao Qingtian, he has become a stabilizing force in the company.
As long as he is around, everyone feels reassured, safe and secure, and there is no chaos at all.
During this period, the reason why the Chen Group performed so well when facing the traffic siege of the Penguin Group was actually due to this reason.
After touring several companies in turn, Chen Yan returned to the president's office on the 18th floor.
During this period, due to the expansion of the group, the office area of the entire Fenghua Building was also readjusted.
The biggest adjustment is the establishment of the President's Office, which is dedicated to the entire 18th floor. All important matters of each company will be collected and screened by the President's Office.
The group's various strategic arrangements will also be discussed and issued by the President's Office.
The benefit of this is that Chen Yan no longer has to be as busy as before and can have more time to do his own things. He only needs to look at the report every day, sign his name on the summarized opinions, or send it back and let them discuss it again.
When he returned to the office, Chen Yan's assistant had already made the tea.
It was the jasmine tea that Zhao Xuan sent. Although its price was average compared to other famous teas, it was the flavor that Chen Yan liked.
After taking two sips of tea, Chen Yan looked at the documents on the table.
All companies are operating normally, and because they are on the fast track, they are developing faster and faster.
In addition, the entire group has formed a positive cycle of traffic-monetization-brand, so a real business empire is rising.
Especially the seeds that Chen Yan had planted inadvertently before: Yuanqi Changyin also demonstrated the strength of its new beverage. Despite the siege of well-known beverage brands such as Coca-Cola and Master Kong, it still captured more than 26% of the market share, with an outstanding performance.
The strategy of Meilijie and Yuanqi’s best-selling brand collaboration, in which each flavor is promoted by a group celebrity, is also very effective.
In the early stage, the popularity of stars helped increase the sales of Yuanqi. In the later stage, the sales of Yuanqi helped the stars, which further increased their popularity.
In addition to the company's proprietary businesses, the group's overseas investment business, which He Mengxue is in charge of, is also developing very well.
With the momentum of the great victory over Zhao Qingtian, the quality reputation of Chenyu Games, the traffic attraction of Toutiao Technology, and the brand appeal of the stars of Chenlu Pictures, Chen's investment has negotiated many foreign investments and acquisitions around the world in the past six months.
The investment areas range from media, culture, medicine, education, aviation, transportation, electronics, automobiles, electronics to energy, finance, shipping, etc.
The Chen Group is extending its tentacles to countries around the world at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Just as Chen Yan was drinking tea and looking at a report, there was a knock on his office door.
Chen Yan said without even looking up, "Please come in."
The office door was pushed open and He Mengxue, dressed in red, walked in.
Chen Yan looked up at her, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face. Then he put down the documents in his hand, looked at He Mengxue and asked, "Sister Xue is here? What's the matter?"
If it was in the past, when hearing Chen Yan's words, He Mengxue would probably say a few words with a smile, but this time she had a serious face, and then said to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan... my dad wants to see you."
To be honest, Chen Yan had met He Ruifeng several times before, but his heart had never been pounding as wildly as it was now.
The smile on his face couldn't help but disappear, and he asked softly, "Does he know everything?"
He Mengxue nodded silently, but she was obviously not feeling well.
Seeing this, Chen Yan walked over, gently held her in his arms, and then comforted her, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will never let you leave me."
He Mengxue's body was a little stiff at first, but when she heard what Chen Yan said, her whole body suddenly softened.
She hugged Chen Yan with her backhand, gently leaned her head against Chen Yan's shoulder, and said softly, "No matter what my dad says, don't be too angry."
Chen Yan hugged her and said, "Don't worry."
"I am sorry for you and Uncle He. Even if he hits me, I won't fight back."
Hearing Chen Yan's serious words, He Mengxue couldn't help but smile and whispered, "That's not the case..."
"My dad wouldn't dare hit you."
"If he breaks it, I don't know how many people will come after him and kill him."
Seeing that He Mengxue's mood had improved, Chen Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair.
Smelling the fragrance of He Mengxue's hair, Chen Yan said, "Trust me. I will handle this matter ."...
…
Nothing happened one day, and in the evening, Chen Yan drove to the He family as a visitor.
When he arrived at the He family, He Ruifeng was already waiting there. He seemed to have dismissed the people around him, and Chen Yan did not see a third person in the huge manor.
Seeing Chen Yan get out of the car, He Ruifeng waved at Chen Yan, motioning him to follow.
Chen Yan was a man of great skill and courage, and he also believed that He Ruifeng would not harm him for the sake of He Mengxue, so he followed him calmly.
Following He Ruifeng upstairs, the two came to a study.
Sitting down in the study, He Ruifeng just sat there with a sullen face, smoking a cigar, and saying nothing.
Seeing this, Chen Yan didn't dare to say anything and just sat opposite him.
Seeing the teapot on the coffee table, Chen Yan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for He Ruifeng, "Uncle He, have some tea."
"Hmph." He Ruifeng snorted and refused to agree.
Chen Yan found himself in a bad situation and had to sit back and continue waiting.
After an unknown amount of time, He Ruifeng had smoked two cigars, and the whole room was filled with smoke. He Ruifeng then covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said to Chen Yan, "Let's take a look at the agreement."
Having said that, he took out an agreement from under the table and threw it on the table.
Chen Yan took the agreement and took a look at it, and found that it was an agreement with very detailed and strict terms, and it seemed to be legally binding.
The contents of the agreement are roughly as follows:
He Mengxue voluntarily gave up the inheritance rights of the He family.
Chen Yan volunteered to buy out several junk assets from the He family worth 15 billion.
After Chen Yan and He Mengxue "got married", they had to support the He family's business worth 2 to 3 billion every year for 10 years.
Just looking at the conditions, it is an extremely harsh agreement.
Moreover, the entire agreement only has responsibilities but no rights.
In other words, there is only one right that both parties are aware of: the He family agrees to the marriage between He Mengxue and Chen Yan, and does not care about He Mengxue's status.
Actually, to be frank, Chen Yan is really not interested in money now. He has too much money, and after having He Mengxue, it is very easy for him to make as much money as he wants.
Even if he wanted, he could directly ask for the money to be transferred in the name of He Mengxue, and he could get a cashback of four to twenty times.
Therefore, these terms really do not pose any difficulty or deterrence to Chen Yan.
So, after taking a quick look at the contents of the agreement and making sure there were no other hidden terms, he signed his name on the agreement without hesitation.
Seeing Chen Yan being so "careless", He Ruifeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he covered his mouth and coughed twice again, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "You don't want to take a look anymore?"
"Once you sign this agreement, not only will you not get any help from our He family, but you will also have to pay tens of billions of dollars."
Chen Yan put down the pen and said with a smile, "For me, what I fear most is that Uncle He will directly oppose it."
"If you are willing to talk, no matter what the conditions are, they are not as important to me as Xiaoxue."
"So, I don't care about these conditions or anything like that."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but look at him with complicated eyes.
After a moment, he picked up the agreement on the table and tore it up, then waved his hand impatiently, "Get lost. Don't let me see you two again. I'm annoyed when I see you two."
"They are all troublesome and disobedient. They are capable of doing anything."
At this point, he paused, and looked at Chen Yan fiercely, "But I tell you, if you dare to treat Xiaoxue badly, I will not let you go even if I risk my life."
"Although my He family is not as wealthy as yours now, we are not the kind of people who are afraid of trouble."
Seeing He Ruifeng's look, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, he realized that it was just a test, and he couldn't help but smile again. This time, his smile was particularly sincere, "Uncle He, don't worry. If I treat Xiaoxue badly, I won't let myself go."
Hearing Chen Yan's answer, He Ruifeng's eyes suddenly turned red, but he still waved his hands impatiently, signaling Chen Yan to leave quickly.
Seeing him like this, Chen Yan didn't want to stay any longer.
Especially since his goal had been achieved, he bowed deeply to He Ruifeng and then left the He family's manor.
On the way back, Chen Yan sent a WeChat message to He Mengxue. There was nothing else in it, just two sentences, [It's settled. I'll give you a few days off, so you can spend more time with our dad...]
After a moment, He Mengxue only replied with a single word "OK"...
After returning home, Chen Yan lay on the bed, thinking about He Ruifeng's fatherly heart and how to arrange several women in the future.
Before he could figure it out, his cell phone suddenly rang with a "ding dong" sound.
Chen Yan originally thought it was a message from Yu Qiaoqiao or Lu Man saying hello in the evening, but when he picked it up, he was surprised to find that it was not from his girlfriend, but from... Zhao Xuan, the father of his fourth girlfriend, Zhao Ying.
Zhao Xuan's WeChat message was a bit long. Chen Yan read it carefully, but was stunned when he saw the last sentence.
【Chen Yan. After I got out, I found that the whole family and company were in a mess.】
[I have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't chat with you in detail for the time being. 】
[Yesterday, the state finally issued all the punishments against the Zhao Group. My case has also come to an end.]
[So, I want to find some time to talk to you. Let’s talk about what happened during this period, and also about Yingying’s secret.]
【There are some things I think you should know. 】
[How should I put it? Let me give you a heads-up. In fact, Yingying is not my daughter. In fact... Strictly speaking, she cannot be considered a person from this world...]
