Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1303: Xia Fan and Amanda

"Mr. Xia, our company has just developed a new technology, and it seems that this technology is just slightly better than Mingzhou Group's technology." Jiang Chen said.

"Have you, Tengyun Electric, developed new technology?" Xia Mingzhou's face changed.

"Mr. Xia, there is no need for me to lie to you about this kind of thing." Jiang Chen has Temple Technology in his hands, and the various technologies of Temple Technology, even if only a little bit is used, is enough to shock the world.

"Mr. Jiang, I wonder what technology you are talking about?" Xia Mingzhou asked.

"Key technologies for all-conditions adaptive high-efficiency screw compressors." said Jiang Chen.

This technology is more resistant to interference and can ensure the stable operation of the unit, minimizing the economic losses and even accidents caused by unstable unit operation for consumers. In the technical innovation of variable frequency and variable capacity, the comprehensive energy efficiency ratio of the chiller is improved, which not only saves a lot of electricity bills for users, but also contributes to energy conservation and emission reduction.

"In addition to this..." Jiang Chen talked about other techniques.

These technologies were actually developed only 18 years ago.

Jiang Chen did this just to show it in advance.

As long as you are ahead of others, but not for long, you can reap the benefits permanently.

"So, Mr. Jiang wants to refuse the cooperation?" Xia Mingzhou asked.

"Cooperation? Mr. Xia, as far as I know, Mingzhou Group's development in recent years has not been very good, and it has encountered many problems." Jiang Chen said.

Xia Mingzhou looked at Jiang Chen without saying anything.

"If you, Mr. Xia, don't mind me investing in Mingzhou Group, Xingchen Technology's chips can be supplied first." Jiang Chen said.

"Invest in Mingzhou Group?" Xia Mingzhou looked grim.

In her opinion, Jiang Chen was taking advantage of the situation.

"That's right, that is, to invest in Mingzhou Group. As long as Mingzhou Group is a company in which Xingchen Group has invested, our Xingchen Group will provide assistance." Jiang Chen said.

"I refuse..."

"Boss Xia." Jiang Chen interrupted Xia Mingzhou and said, "You don't need to refuse now. You can go back and think about it carefully before making a decision."

"Well..." Xia Mingzhou was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

After a moment, Xia Mingzhou left.

Jiang Chen called Li Qian over.

"Mr. Jiang, are you looking for me?" Li Qian came quickly.

"Well, Secretary Li, next you will investigate the situation of Mingzhou Group." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Li Qian nodded.

"Also, you should get ready and go to England with me next month," Jiang Chen said.

"What are you going to do in England?" Li Qian asked.

"I'm going to participate in an academic exchange." Jiang Chen said.

"Academic exchange?" Li Qian blinked.

Is this a joke?

Jiang Chen went to participate in academic exchanges?

"Yes, I represented the Law School of Yenching University in conducting academic seminars and exchanges with professors from the Law Schools of the University of Cambridge, the University of London Law School, the Durham University Law School and the Edinburgh University Law School," said Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, who are you?" Li Qian said.

"I am a professor at the Law School of Yenching University." Jiang Chen said.

"No, Mr. Jiang, you are kidding?" Li Qian asked.

"Do you think I need it?" Jiang Chen asked back.

Li Qian was silent.

is it necessary?

Of course it is not necessary.

So, everything Jiang Chen said was true.

"However, you and I are going to the UK to take advantage of this opportunity to develop our company's industries in the UK," said Jiang Chen.

"Okay, I understand." Li Qian nodded.

"This matter is confidential, but you can contact Xu Jie, Shen Shuangshuang and Cheng Lingyun from the Legal Department. They are my students, and I will also take them to participate in academic exchanges." Jiang Chen said.

"Xu Jie and the others are your students?" Li Qian's beautiful eyes flashed.

Is this the legendary disciple of the emperor?

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded, took out a document and handed it to Li Qian: "The academic exchange will be held on July 16, and we will be leaving for England on July 10, so please make arrangements before you leave."

"Mr. Jiang, are we using your private plane?" Li Qian asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

Guan Yuqing and others can also do other things when they go to the UK.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Li Qian had already overestimated Jiang Chen, but at this moment she realized that she still underestimated Jiang Chen.

"Go to work." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Li Qian then left the president's office.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Tong Wei came.

"Mr. Jiang."

"Sit down." Jiang Chen looked at Tong Wei with a smile: "Is the matter settled?"

"It has been resolved, and CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) has also acquired it," said Tong Wei.

"CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) is under your name. Will you resign from Star Group and go to CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) or continue to stay in Star Group?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I want to manage CAEA (International Negotiation Agency)." Tong Wei said.

"Okay, now that you've made your decision, go and complete the resignation procedures." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Tong Wei looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you."

"Thank me? There are 108 moves in Xiaoyao Tianjue. Let's use a few more tonight." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the office." Tong Wei said.

"Are you reminding me to practice in the office?" Jiang Chen stood up and said, "Then let's start." As he spoke, Jiang Chen appeared beside Tong Wei and hugged her.

"Stop it, that's not what I meant." Tong Wei rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen in annoyance.

"Aren't I excited?" Jiang Chen said.

"You." Jiang Chen is a saint in front of others, and only those around her know how scoundrel Jiang Chen is. However, it must be said that doing so will improve the relationship between them.

After they played around for a while, Jiang Chen and Tong Wei started chatting.

"After so many changes, CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) should not be affected much," said Jiang Chen.

"Yeah." Tong Wei nodded.

"Your return to CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) this time can be regarded as a glorious return home," said Jiang Chen.

"Yeah." Tong Wei nodded.

"When you go to CAEA (International Negotiation Agency), you must choose an office with good sound insulation." Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"Boss Jiang, you are the big boss now, and you still think about these things..."

"Isn't it normal to think about these things?" Jiang Chen's hand had already fallen on Tong Wei's place.

"Xingchen Group is not enough for you to take advantage of." Tong Wei said.

"What Huo Huo, am I that kind of person?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What do you think?" Tong Wei asked back.

"say what?"

"Am I not your identity..."

"Then let's try it now?" Jiang Chen clenched his hand.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't want my voice to be heard by people outside, right? There are eight people in your secretarial team who are not yours, right? If they hear it, I'm afraid you will have no chance." Tong Wei said.

"You said I dealt with them all in the president's office. What do you think?" Jiang Chen said in Tong Wei's ear.

"Are you such a person?" Tong Wei felt that if Jiang Chen was such a person, the number of his wives would probably increase exponentially.

"I can do this to you..." Just as Jiang Chen finished speaking, all the buttons of Tong Wei's professional suit were unbuttoned.

"You..." Tong Wei quickly distanced herself from Jiang Chen while buttoning her shirt: "I'm going to work and I don't want to play with you anymore." After saying that, Tong Wei walked out.

Jiang Chen smiled and smelled his hand.

……

In front of the restaurant.

"Mr. Jiang."

Xiong Qingchun came over.

"Here I am." Jiang Chen came forward, held Xiong Qingchun's hands, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. My Qingchun is getting more and more beautiful."

"Mr. Jiang, what else can you say besides this?" Xiong Qingchun asked.

"Well, there is one more thing." Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, and I can't wait to eat you."

"Be serious." Xiong Qingchun gave Jiang Chen a displeased look.

"Youth, do you mean that I'm not serious?" Jiang Chen asked back.

"What do you think?" Xiong Qingchun asked.

"I think it's very serious." Jiang Chen said.

"you……"

"Let's go and have dinner." Jiang Chen took Xiong Qingchun's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

Xiong Qingchun struggled for a while but failed to break free, so he could only let Jiang Chen pull him.

When they arrived at the restaurant's private room, Jiang Chen ordered Xiong Qingchun's favorite dishes.

After the waiter left, Jiang Chen hugged Xiong Qingchun.

"What are you doing?" Xiong Qingchun was startled.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked.

“……”Xiong Qingchun felt Jiang Chen’s hand, as if it had magic power.

Wherever Jiang Chen's hand passed, Xiong Qingchun felt an unprecedented feeling.

This made Xiong Qingchun feel like he had been taken advantage of by Jiang Chen countless times before.

However, she did not feel disgusted or annoyed, but instead felt enjoyment.

Feeling this, Xiong Qingchun became a little panicked.

She had a boyfriend before.

So, she knew exactly what this felt like.

Oh my god.

This is life-threatening.

"Youth." Jiang Chen lifted Xiong Qingchun's chin and bent down to kiss him.

Xiong Qingchun's heart trembled, and then he put his arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

At this moment, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun were like thunder and fire meeting each other, and sparks flew.

After a long time, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun let go.

However, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun both looked at each other.

At this moment, the looks in Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun's eyes seemed to be...stretched.

"Dong dong dong."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"The waiter is here." Xiong Qingchun quickly pushed Jiang Chen away and tidied his clothes.

"Come in." Jiang Chen looked calm.

Xiong Qingchun took a look at Jiang Chen and felt that Jiang Chen was very experienced.

Is this the reason why Jiang Chen has so many girlfriends?

Am I really suitable for this kind of person?

Soon, the waiter brought the food and drinks.

"Come, let's have a drink together." Jiang Chen poured a glass of wine for Xiong Qingchun.

"Just one cup." Xiong Qingchun said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

Others all hope that the woman they are having dinner with will be drunk, because only when she is drunk can she do something. But Jiang Chen is a principled man and he doesn't like the other person to be drunk when he is doing something.

The two of them ate and chatted, and time passed quickly.

Perhaps because Jiang Chen was eloquent, their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.

An hour later, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun walked out of the restaurant.

"Youth, let's go on..."

Before Jiang Chen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Chen: "I still have to go to work."

"Then let's go into the car and talk?" Jiang Chen said.

Xiong Qingchun hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Jiang Chen felt happy.

Go inside the car and talk, the hint was already very obvious, Xiong Qingchun did not refuse, in his opinion it meant accepting his rhythm.

At that moment, Jiang Chen took Xiong Qingchun to the back seat of the car.

After half an hour.

"Shall I take you to the company?" Jiang Chen asked as he recalled the interaction that had just lasted half an hour.

"No, I have to go home first." Xiong Qingchun said quickly.

"Go home?" Jiang Chen looked at Xiong Qingchun.

"It's all because of you." Xiong Qingchun glared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen reacted and laughed.

"You're still laughing." Xiong Qingchun was angry.

"I think we can go to your house and rest for a while." Jiang Chen said.

"No." Xiong Qingchun quickly refused.

With Jiang Chen's tactics, if he really went to her house to rest, maybe even the last line of defense would be breached.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but don't make me wait too long." Jiang Chen said.

"Wait for me for ten thousand years." Xiong Qingchun said.

"I understand." Jiang Chen was overjoyed and hugged Xiong Qingchun.

"What are you doing?" Xiong Qingchun patted Jiang Chen's hand.

"There's a saying that goes, 'A glance can last a lifetime.' You asked me to wait for you for ten thousand years, which means that in the blink of an eye..." Jiang Chen didn't finish the rest, but the meaning was already very clear.

"..." Xiong Qingchun.

Can idioms be used like this?

Is this what "a thousand years at first sight" and "waiting for you for ten thousand years" mean?

"Send me home quickly." Xiong Qingchun said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled.

……

Shanghai University of Law School.

"Professor Chen, are you looking for me?" Jiang Chen came here after receiving a call from Professor Chen.

"Jiang Chen, I heard that you can speak French?" Professor Chen asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

When Jiang Chen met Stephen Minas at Shanghai University last year, they chatted in French, so many people at Shanghai University knew that he could speak French.

"The French Department has a book to translate, but now the teachers in the French Department have some disagreements on the translation, so I called you and want you to come and take a look," said Professor Chen.

"Professor Chen, there are so many professors in the French department, it should be easy to translate a book." Jiang Chen said.

"There are many professors in the French Department, but many of them are not in Shanghai due to some matters. I have a good relationship with Professor Zhang from the French Department, so I recommended you. Jiang Chen, if it weren't for the urgent matter, I wouldn't have asked you to come." Professor Chen said.

"Then should I go to the French Department to find Professor Zhang?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Do you want me to take you there?" Professor Chen asked.

"No need." Jiang Chen glanced at the book in front of Professor Chen and said, "Professor Chen, you should continue working."

After all, Professor Chen is his father-in-law.

Now that her father-in-law has asked her for help, she will do her best to help him no matter what it is.

"Then I'll send a message to Professor Zhang and you go find her yourself," said Professor Chen.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

After saying goodbye to Professor Chen, Jiang Chen walked towards the French Department.

Soon, Jiang Chen came to the French Department.

"The French Department..."

"It seems that Qiao Fei in Dear Translator was a student in the French Department of Magic City University before going to France."

Jiang Chen thought as he walked forward.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at Professor Zhang's office in the French Department.

"Dong dong dong."

Jiang Chen knocked on the office door.

Soon, a voice was heard in the office.

"Enter."

At that moment, Jiang Chen pushed the door open and walked in.

The next moment, two figures appeared in Jiang Chen's sight.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained the intermediate and low-grade spiritual field transformation map. 】

"Intermediate low-grade spiritual field transformation plan?"

"In addition to the forty intermediate-level lower-grade spiritual field transformation maps when I was promoted to the imperial clan, this is what I got when I signed in for the eleventh time."

The low-level inferior spiritual field transformation plan is to transform the original land into inferior spiritual fields. A total of ten acres of inferior spiritual fields can be transformed.

The intermediate lower-grade spiritual field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade spiritual field transformation map, which can transform one hundred acres of lower-grade spiritual fields.

"Good stuff."

"Although there are quite a few intermediate-level lower-grade spiritual field transformation diagrams now, the more the better."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Lu Youyan, a character in "The Road to White From Tonight: Meeting Youth".

In the play, she is a junior student majoring in French. She is lively, cute, optimistic and cheerful, and full of positive energy. Lu Youyan is a girl with congenital hereditary heart disease, but her attitude towards her family, friends and her own life is more positive and optimistic than other healthy people.

"The story of "The Road to White Tonight: Encountering Youth" begins in 17."

"To be exact, it was in the second half of 17."

"So, Lu Youyan is now a sophomore in the French department."

"No, Lu Youyan is a transfer student."

"So...she came here today to transfer to another school?"

In the play, Lu Youyan helps the talented painter Gu Yebai adjust his mentality and fulfill his art dream, and the two gradually develop feelings for each other. However, when Lu Youyan is appreciated by her boss and gets the opportunity to go to Paris, she faces the test of her relationship with Gu Yebai. At the same time, the news that Lu Youyan's cousin is critically ill also brings a huge impact on her life.

"Professor Zhang? I'm Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen said to another person in the office.

"Jiang Chen is here, wait a moment." Professor Zhang said to Lu Youyan, "Lu Youyan, you should continue to study in school in the second half of the year. You should review your lessons well during the summer vacation."

"Okay, Professor Zhang." Lu Youyan nodded.

"Go ahead." Professor Zhang said.

Only then did Lu Youyan say goodbye and leave.

"Professor Zhang." Jiang Chen walked towards Professor Zhang.

"Jiang Chen, I heard from Professor Chen that your French is very good. Is that true?" Professor Zhang asked.

"Professor Zhang, my French is very good." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

School is not society.

Generally speaking, people with ability will be respected.

"Then let's get started." Professor Zhang took out a book and handed it to Jiang Chen: "Take a look at this."

Jiang Chen opened it and saw that it was a French book. "Professor Zhang, let's start now..."

For Jiang Chen, who is proficient in all the languages ​​in the world, translation is not difficult.

It's just a bit time-consuming.

However, it doesn't matter if it takes time to establish a relationship with Magic City University.

In three hours, Jiang Chen, Professor Zhang, and two other French professors found by Professor Zhang successfully flipped through the French book.

"Jiang Chen, thanks to you this time." Professor Zhang said with emotion.

At the beginning, he didn't believe how strong Jiang Chen's French was, but now he understands that Jiang Chen's French is stronger than he thought.

"Professor Zhang, I have only done what I can." Jiang Chen said modestly.

"Jiang Chen, would you like to join our French department?" Professor Zhang asked.

"Professor Zhang, my personality is not suitable for teaching." Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen felt that if he really taught in school, perhaps many female college students would become his wives. If his reputation was exposed at that time, he would be ruined.

"Forget it." Thinking of Jiang Chen's identity, Professor Zhang did not force it.

At that moment, Jiang Chen said goodbye.

"It's already the end of June, and many students have already left."

"Speaking of which, there have been quite a few female college students who signed up this year, but it seems that I haven't won over many of them."

Jiang Chen walked towards the parking lot, thinking wildly.

But Jiang Chen was too daydreaming.

So much so that when he was about to enter the parking lot, he bumped into someone.

"ah……"

A cry of surprise came.

Jiang Chen quickly grabbed him and dealt with him.

"Didn't you look at the road?" a crisp voice rang out.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Chen looked up.

The next moment, a woman appeared in Jiang Chen's sight.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained the Simplified Manufacture Technique. ]

"Simple Making Technique?"

"The art of making jade slips is the technique of making jade slips."
.

What is a jade slip?

Each type of civilization has several distinctive cultural features. The culture of jade slips and true meaning jade slips is the most distinctive one among the cultivation civilizations.

The inheritance of human knowledge is inseparable from language and writing. The original meaning of "Jian" refers to the bamboo slips used by the ancients to carve words. With the development of the cultivation civilization, the cultivators discovered that some jades can not only store spiritual energy, but also store spiritual consciousness/mindset/mental power!

This type of jade that can store consciousness/spiritual thoughts/mental power can be divided into two categories. One is natural jade, which comes in various shapes and is called "simple jade" or "simple stone"; the other is artificial jade, which is made from specific raw materials in a certain proportion and using a certain refining procedure. It is usually made into sheets and is called "jade slips."

Jade slips are divided into "ordinary jade slips" and "true meaning jade slips".

Ordinary jade slips can store text, voice, and static images, which are engraved by divine consciousness/spiritual power through a specific formation. Its information storage capacity far exceeds that of bamboo slips, and it is stable and easy to carry. It is deeply loved by cultivators in the cultivation civilization. When using it, the cultivator can read the information in the ordinary jade slip after probing it with divine consciousness. Since the divine consciousness probing into the jade slip will not damage the structure of the jade slip and the information inside, this process is also called "infiltration".

The True Meaning Jade Slips are advanced products that emerged after the jade slip culture developed to a certain extent. They can not only store text, voice, and static pictures, but also store dynamic "scene realities" and "stream of consciousness."

Since the True Meaning Jade Slip stores dynamic information, its information storage capacity far exceeds that of ordinary jade slips. Its jade material, the formation inscribed with spiritual consciousness, and the method of use are also different from those of ordinary jade slips.

Therefore, when using the jade slip of true meaning, one needs to drip blood to recognize the owner, which is not necessary for ordinary jade slips!

So from this point we can clearly see that ordinary jade slips are similar to "talismans", which do not require blood dripping to recognize the owner and are not limited to users; true meaning jade slips are similar to "magic tools", which require blood dripping to recognize the owner, and once the owner is recognized, only the owner can use it and no one else can use it.

Of course, this ability that only allows the owner to read the information is achieved through the formation inside the jade slip, and where there is a formation, there is a way to crack it - reading the confidential information on other people's true meaning jade slips has long evolved into a gray industry.

The development of the cultivation civilization has been largely due to the jade slips and true meaning jade slips as media. Due to its important significance and historical achievements, the art of making slips has gradually separated from the "art of refining instruments" and become a specialized art of cultivation, and is listed as one of the "Sixteen Arts of Cultivation".

The jade slip-making technique obtained by signing in to the system now is the technology of making ordinary jade slips and true meaning jade slips.

"According to the system introduction, the art of making jade slips is divided into three parts. The first part is to make blank jade slips and blank true meaning jade slips, which is called "blank jade slip making art". The maker is called "slip maker", which is generally divided into four levels: slip maker apprentice, primary slip maker, intermediate slip maker, and senior slip maker. The second part is to engrave text, voice, and static images into jade slips or true meaning jade slips, which is called "ordinary slip making art". This technology belongs to the basic spell and is widely circulated in the cultivation world. Anyone who has established a foundation can learn and use it. This is also one of the basic skills for using waist cards."

"The third part is to engrave a dynamic 'live scene' or 'stream of consciousness' into the True Meaning Jade Slip, which is called the 'True Meaning Jade Slip Making Technique'. This technique is also a basic spell and is widely circulated in the cultivation world. Anyone who has established a foundation can learn and use it. However, if you want to earn spirit stones by selling 'True Meaning Jade Slips'? You must have a 'True Meaning' that can arouse others' desire to buy it!"

"With this jade slip making technique, you can make jade slips and true meaning jade slips."

"This means that the family can have one more medium to store knowledge."

"Especially the True Meaning Jade Slip, which can increase confidentiality."

"After all, even computers need to be powered on to work."

"And the jade slip is through spiritual power."

"If the jade slip is likened to a computer, then mental power is like electricity."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Zhou Huaian, a character in "The Road to White Tonight: Meeting Youth".

In the play, she is the campus beauty of G University. She comes from a scholarly family, is arrogant and self-righteous, and likes the male protagonist Gu Yebai. Unfortunately, Gu Yebai likes Lu Youyan. Seeing Gu Yebai and Lu Youyan showing their affection every day, she starts to drive Lu Youyan away by any means.

"Is it another character from "The Road to White Tonight: Encountering Youth"? "

"Just now it was Lu Youyan, now it's Zhou Huaian."

"Unlike Lu Youyan, Zhou Huaian is from the Fine Arts Department."

In the beginning of the play, she liked Wei Zijian, but Wei Zijian liked Lu Youyan. Zhou Huaian stabbed Lu Youyan in the back, which led to a conflict between Lu Youyan and Gu Yebai and their breakup. Despite this, Zhou Huaian did not win Wei Zijian's favor, but was disliked by Wei Zijian because of her scheming.

So although Zhou Huaian was with Wei Zijian during college, they broke up soon after graduation. During the time when Lu Youran went to the United States, Zhou Huaian accompanied Gu Yebai. The two used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but they did not end up together.

"It's normal for the second female lead in a TV show or film to have no results."

"However, Zhou Huaian's methods are not enough."

Jiang Chen didn't think Zhou Huaian was wrong to destroy the relationship between Lu Youyan and Gu Yebai.

If you do nothing, how can opportunities fall into your hands?

"Just saying sorry is enough? You did it on purpose, right?" Zhou Huaian said.

"I didn't mean to do that. I was thinking about something, so I didn't see it." Jiang Chen replied.

"You... forget it." Zhou Huaian was stunned when he saw Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's appearance is somewhat ordinary, but he looks very attractive.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen asked knowingly, "Are you Zhou Huaian from the Fine Arts Department?"

"Do you know me?" Zhou Huaian had never seen Jiang Chen.

"I don't know you, but I've heard of you." Jiang Chen didn't expect that Zhou Huaian, Lu Youyan and others were also at Modu University. However, this is a good thing.

"Oh." Zhou Huaian prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen said.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Huaian asked.

"Shall we exchange contact information?" Jiang Chen said.

"There's no need." Zhou Huaian said.

"Is it necessary? No, it is necessary." Jiang Chen said, "If I hurt you just now, you can ask me for compensation."

"..."Zhou Huaian.

Broken?

What is this and what?

"What I said is true." Jiang Chen said.

"You're sick." Zhou Huaian turned and left.

"..." Jiang Chen.

"Pity."

In the play, Zhou Huaian is a fair, rich and beautiful woman.

I don’t know how it is set in this film and television fusion world.

However, when seeing Zhou Huaian, Jiang Chen thought of Hua Chunran.

Zhou Huaian and Hua Chunran were played by the same actor in their previous life.

Hua Chunran is a beauty in ancient costume.

Because of his character, he is completely different from Zhou Huaian.

……

Evening, restaurant.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you treating me to dinner today?" Chen Kaiyi asked.

"I miss you, don't I? You haven't been to Daming Palace for some time." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"There are a lot of things to do in the company right now, and Daming Palace is far away, so it's better to go home and practice." Chen Kaiyi said: "What's more, I will go to the second world the day after tomorrow, and we have plenty of time to be together."

Chen Kaiyi understood that Jiang Chen had many women in the Daming Palace, so if she wanted to be favored by Jiang Chen, it would take several days. Therefore, instead of going to the Daming Palace, it would be better to work hard in the First World.

After all, in order to be fair, Jiang Chen had about the same number of visits to each woman.

What she lacked in the first world, she would make up for in other worlds.

"How is the company doing now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"There's nothing big going on in the company. However, there's a lot of competition now, so I plan to launch a new version jointly with the Hong Kong branch," said Chen Kaiyi.

"Okay, you can discuss it with Xiao Hongxue, but Xiao Hongxue may have different ideas from you." Jiang Chen said.

"That's not a problem." said Chen Kaiyi.

"As long as you have confidence, that's enough." Jiang Chen smiled, then chatted with Chen Kaiyi while eating.

Chen Kaiyi asked: "Mr. Jiang, how do you plan to develop foreign fashion magazines?"

"Do you think it's time to enter the foreign fashion magazine market?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Absolutely." Chen Kaiyi said.

"Then find a way to acquire Times Inc." Jiang Chen said.

"Times Inc.?" Chen Kaiyi asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen remembered that Times Inc. was also acquired in his previous life, and it seemed to be in 17.

Times Inc. is a well-known magazine publisher and the parent company of Time magazine.

In its previous life, Times Inc. reached a final agreement with another magazine publisher, Meredith Corp., which would acquire all of Time Inc.'s shares at a price of $18.5 per share.

Jiang Chen remembers that including Time Inc.'s debt and net cash, the total transaction amount will be about $28 billion, all in cash. In order to complete this transaction, Meredith raised a total of $35.5 billion in funds, including $6.5 million from Koch Equity Development, an investment fund under the Koch brothers, an American oil tycoon.

In the previous fiscal year of 2016, Time Inc. and Meredith had a combined annual sales of $48 billion, including $27 billion in advertising revenue, of which digital advertising revenue totaled nearly $7 million. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled $8 million.

"That's possible." Chen Kaiyi nodded.

She knows Times Inc.

With the rapid rise of Internet-related industries, companies such as Facebook Inc. and Google are also rapidly increasing their share of advertising revenue from digital channels. Coupled with the overall downturn in the traditional paper media industry, the situation of traditional publishing giants such as Time Inc. is not ideal. Earlier last month, Time Inc. just announced its first-quarter financial data, with sales of US$6.94 million, a year-on-year decrease of 9%, of which advertising and circulation revenue fell by 12% year-on-year. This is also the sixth consecutive quarter that their performance has failed to meet analysts' expectations.

In order to reverse the situation, Time Inc. cut a total of 6 jobs worldwide in June this year, and said in May that it planned to sell its three magazines, namely, the travel magazine Coastal Living, the gardening and home magazine Sunset, and the golf magazine Golf. In the past year or so, Time Inc. has been trying to seek a sale, and Meredith is also one of the rumored buyers.

"However, it is not easy to acquire Times Inc." said Chen Kaiyi.

"Is there anyone who wants to acquire Times Inc." Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, Meredith has tried to acquire Time Inc. twice since 2013. Last November, Time Inc. rejected an offer from Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Ynon Kreizthat was between $11 and $18 per share (a total acquisition price of approximately $20 billion)."

Chen Kaiyi said: "I just got the news before this year that one of Time Inc.'s main competitors, magazine publisher Rodale, also announced that it might choose to seek a sale. Meredith is also one of the rumored potential buyers. Other possible buyers include Hearst and American Media Inc., etc."

"Then let's find a way to get a piece of the pie? You organize the information in the next two days, and when you go to the second world the day after tomorrow, formulate a relevant acquisition plan, and start the acquisition after you come back from the second world." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Chen Kaiyi did not refuse.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Chen Kaiyi walked out of the box talking and laughing.

"Chen Kaiyi?"

Just as Jiang Chen and Chen Kaiyi were about to leave the restaurant, a voice came from the side.

Jiang Chen turned around and looked.

The next moment, two figures appeared in Jiang Chen's sight.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and received 10,000 horses. 】

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos. 】

[Congratulations to the host, for signing in 10 female protagonists in a row, rewarded with attribute points, cubic meters of space ring expansion, pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons, and Black Kirin training card.]

"Ten thousand horse spears?"

“This is the twentieth time I’ve signed in.”

“It’s also the last time I signed in.”

The horse lance was a heavy weapon used by ancient cavalry. Now the Jiang family army's Star Cavalry, Eagle Guard, White Horse Camp and Buddha Camp are all equipped with horse lances.

Now the Jiang family has 10,000 Star Cavalry and 5,000 Eagle Armor Guards. In the second world, there are 6,000 Buddha Camp and 10,000 White Horse Camp. In the third world, there are 12,000 Buddha Camp and 27,000 White Horse Camp. In the fourth world, there are 37,000 White Horse Camp and 30,000 Buddha Camp.

The three worlds together add up to 137,000.

Now that all these horse lances have been equipped, there are not many left.

"This sign-in reward is good."

"Now there are craftsmen in Fengyun Continent, Warring States Continent, and Snow Continent who can make horse lances, but it takes time to make a horse lance that is up to the standard of signing in. Since we can't continue to sign in in the future, we can only use them sparingly."

"Ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos?"

"This is my tenth sign-in and I've received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos plants."

"I got 10 thousand-year-old Poria cocos twice as a special reward before. Later, I got 10 thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in from Du Bingyan, Zhu Sha, Zhu Yunqiao, Lan Qianyi, Qian Anan and others. I got 1,000 thousand by being promoted to the Celestial Clan. I didn't expect to get 10 thousand-year-old Poria cocos again by signing in now."

"Due to alchemy and other reasons, I have used up a lot of Ten Thousand Years Poria Cocos during this period. There are only 1,800 plants left in the system space. Now I can sign in and get ten Ten Thousand Years Poria Cocos, which is not bad."

"However, once the Jiang Family Medicine Garden is cultivated, there will be no need to worry about these ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs."

"Starting from Qin Zuoman, Ding Yiyuan, Qiu Dongna, Jiang Tian, ​​Shang Weiwei, Xia Mingzhou, Lu Youyan, Zhou Huaian, and now Xia Fan and Amanda, I have signed ten more female protagonists without realizing it."

"10 attribute points and a cubic meter expansion of the space ring are special rewards."

"Six pairs of top quality Haidongqing?"

"This sign-in reward is also average now."

"Now, in the third film and television fusion world, 53 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons have been used, and in the second film and television fusion world, there are already 42 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons. In the first world, Daming Palace used a total of 3 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons, and in the fourth world, 50 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons were used. After signing in to advance to the Imperial Clan, 24 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons were obtained, and after advancing to the Celestial Clan, 48 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons were obtained. There are 62 pairs of top-grade Saker Falcons in the system space."

"Six more pairs of top-quality Saker Falcons have been added, and there are now sixty-eight pairs of top-quality Saker Falcons in the system space."

"Although the best-grade Saker Falcon in the Fourth World can only be used for marching and fighting and transmitting information between the Jinyiwei, except for the Douqi Continent, the best-grade Saker Falcon in other continents still has many uses. Now that there are more and more continents, the best-grade Saker Falcon is used more and more."

"What's more, when we go to the second world or the third world in the future, we will also need a top-quality Saker Falcon."

"Black Kirin training card?"

"That's normal."

"However, if we have more of these training cards, we can synthesize enhanced training cards in the future."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Xia Fan, a character in "Don't Waste Time".

In the play, she is the fashion editor of Ruisha. She is aloof and aloof, but hardworking and serious at work. Xia Fan has been a good student since she was young. She was admitted to university without any surprise and successfully joined the "Risha" magazine that Li Xiao envied. Xia Fan discovered the model Zhou Zimo, but Zhou Zimo's popularity was beyond her expectations. Because of her excellent cultivation of Zhou Zimo, Xia Fan was gradually valued by the editor-in-chief and faced more opportunities.

Amanda, a character in "Time to Remember".

In the play, she is the editor-in-chief of Resa Fashion. As a workplace expert, Amanda not only has strong working ability, but also has a keen eye for employing people. Whether it is a "workaholic" who is capable but not scheming, or a "greenhorn" who has ideas but does not know the rules, as long as they can bring efficiency to the work, she will look at them differently.

"The plot of "Don't Waste Time" begins in 19."

"So now there are still two years before the plot begins."

"Xia Fan..."

Xia Fan in the play works at "Risa" magazine as a fashion editor. "Risa" magazine launched an activity to find amateur models to encourage young people to bravely pursue their dreams. Xia Fan saw Zhou Zimo and thought he had a good image and temperament, so she secretly took a photo of him. After that, she took the initiative to invite Zhou Zimo. Unexpectedly, that day, Zhou Zimo was scolded by the editor-in-chief Wu Yu and was in a very bad mood. Xia Fan happened to be caught in the crossfire. He not only rejected Xia Fan, but also asked Xia Fan to delete the photos.

Xia Fan refused and turned to leave. Zhou Zimo went to grab her camera. As they were tugging, Zhou Zimo threw the camera to the ground. Xia Fan was angry with Zhou Zimo and ignored Zhou Zimo's promise of compensation. She tore off the first page of Zhou Zimo's manuscript and found Wu Yu through the manuscript. From this time on, Wu Yu and Xia Fan officially formed a relationship. Later, under Wu Yu's infatuated pursuit, Xia Fan and him became a couple.

Although Zhou Zimo and Xia Fan's first encounter was very idol drama-like, they did not like each other. When Zhou Zimo was desperate, Xia Fan invited Zhou Zimo again, which finally made him waver. Zhou Zimo tried modeling for the first time and became a work partner with Xia Fan.

The one who really likes Zhou Zimo and has a relationship with him is Xia Fan's schoolmate Li Xiao. When Zhou Zimo was at his most frustrated, Li Xiao encouraged him. The sensitive Xia Fan had long noticed that Zhou Zimo liked Li Xiao, and she had no intention of snatching Li Xiao's future boyfriend.

"Amanda is just a standard professional in the show."

"Or a standard leader."

In the play, the well-dressed editors of "Resha" race against time to plan topics and marketing, fearing to miss the slightest fashion trend. Every time Amanda assigns a project, Xia Fan and Xiao Mo will compete with each other.

Such an intense pace and stimulating atmosphere is like a workplace where 996 is a luxury and there is no room for breathing.

"The drama shows two different styles of workplaces, from "Risa" to the proofreading department of Dongfan Publishing House. But no matter which position you are in, you should play your value and take responsibility."

"But now Amanda is called Chen Kaiyi..."

"Too."

"Amanda is from 'Resa' magazine, and Chen Kaiyi was previously the editor-in-chief of 'Shengzhuang' magazine."

"The fashion industry is big, but it's also small. Plus, it's in Shanghai, so it's impossible for Amanda and Chen Kaiyi not to know each other."

The story involving Amanda emerged in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Amanda?" Chen Kaiyi saw Amanda and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Amanda walked over with Xia Fan.

"Is this Xia Fan, the newcomer in your company?" Chen Kaiyi said when he saw Xia Fan.

"Chen Kaiyi, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Amanda's eyes flashed.

Xia Fan was discovered by Chen Kaiyi not long after he joined "Risa" magazine?

She is indeed her biggest rival.

Amanda glanced and saw Jiang Chen: "Chen Kaiyi, are you hiring new people for your magazine "Shengzhuang"? "

"Newcomer? Are you talking about him?" Chen Kaiyi glanced at Jiang Chen.

"Isn't it?" Amanda asked back.

"Amanda, guess who he is." Chen Kaiyi said.

"I?"

Amanda's eyes flashed, and she said to Jiang Chen, "Handsome boy, do you work for 'Shengzhuang' magazine? Would you like to work for our 'Rosa' magazine? Our 'Rosa' magazine is much better than 'Shengzhuang' magazine."

"'Risa' magazine? This is the first time I heard of it today." Jiang Chen said.

“……”Amanda.

Chen Kaiyi chuckled.

In Chen Kaiyi's opinion, it is impossible for Jiang Chen to not know about "Risa" magazine when he entered the fashion industry.

"Is this the first time you've heard of 'Risa' magazine? Handsome boy, are you kidding? However, as long as you join 'Risa' magazine, the conditions I offer are much better than Chen Kaiyi's." Amanda said.

"Oh, what are your conditions?" Jiang Chen asked back.

"I...handsome boy, no matter what conditions Chen Kaiyi sets, I promise to be better than hers." Amanda said.

"Amanda, you really don't take me seriously! You're trying to poach my people right in front of me." Chen Kaiyi was a little amused.

That’s it for others.

Amanda actually attacked Jiang Chen?

"Chen Kaiyi, everyone has the right to make their own choices, and the handsome boy is no exception." Amanda said.

"Amanda is right. Everyone has the right to make their own choices." Jiang Chen took out his cell phone and said to Amanda, "Shall we exchange contact information?"

"Okay." Amanda smiled.

Chen Kaiyi glanced at Jiang Chen and snorted.

Amanda smirked.

In her opinion, Chen Kaiyi was angry and dissatisfied.

However, Amanda didn't know that Chen Kaiyi was not trying to poach Jiang Chen because of her presence, but because he thought Jiang Chen might be interested in Amanda.

You know, she, Grace, and Holly are all in the fashion industry.

And Amanda is also in the fashion industry.

Women in the fashion industry know how to take care of themselves and are the most popular.

"Handsome boy, contact me when you've made up your mind. I'll be waiting for your call." After saying that, Amanda took Xia Fan away.

After seeing Amanda and the other person leave, Chen Kaiyi said sourly: "Boss Jiang, are you reluctant to let them go?"
