Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1497 "If Running Is My Life" - Cheng Anxin

"Hey?"

Exhausted, Hua Duoduo picked up her phone and answered the call.

"Duoduo, it's me." He Yan's voice came from the phone.

Hua Duoduo was stunned when she heard the sound, and her mind cleared up a bit.

This is He Yan's phone call.

At that moment, He Yan called.

After glancing at Jiang Chen, Hua Duoduo asked, "Is there something you need?"

"I... I need to talk to you. Can you come out for a bit?" He Yan asked.

"I don't have time." Hua Duoduo was dumbfounded.

Should I go see He Yan at this time?

Let alone the fact that she doesn't have the strength to see He Yan right now.

Even if she did, how could Jiang Chen possibly let her see He Yan?

"Dodo?"

Just as Hua Duoduo was about to say something, her expression changed, and she quickly covered her mouth.

"Duoduo? Duoduo?" He Yan didn't hear what Hua Duoduo said, so he spoke anxiously into the phone.

"I am fine."

Hua Duoduo took a deep breath and said, "He Yan, if you need anything, someone else will call me." After saying that, Hua Duoduo hung up the phone.

"Why did you stop talking?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You want me to talk?" Hua Duoduo asked back.

“I don’t care. I’ll speak up if necessary,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Flowers bloom.

At this moment, the consequences of Jiang Chen speaking are self-evident.

“I’m asserting my sovereignty,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Flowers bloom.

Declaring sovereignty?

Whose sovereignty is being declared?

"Since you've hung up, let's continue," Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

"What? You... are you human?" Hua Duoduo was a little scared.

She never expected that Jiang Chen would continue.

"Otherwise, why do you think I have so many girlfriends? You wouldn't have extra girlfriends if you weren't capable." At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of Bai Xue.

Bai Xue is He Yan's wife in "Long Time No See".

He Yan remained chaste for Hua Duoduo.

Now that she's won over Hua Duoduo, if she were to win over Bai Xue as well, and then flaunt it in front of He Yan, I wonder if He Yan would be furious?
"You're even proud of yourself now?" Hua Duoduo rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

She's really crazy.

Jiang Chen, a young man with many girlfriends, actually succeeded in his scheme.

“What’s wrong with being proud? It’s a perfectly normal thing,” Jiang Chen said.

"Don't think about anyone else right now," Hua Duoduo said, wrapping her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

Yes, Hua Duoduo knows that Jiang Chen and He Yan are different.

He Yan is a scoundrel for his family.

Jiang Chen was a scumbag to begin with.

She never imagined that all the men she met would be scumbags.

"Shall we continue?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You..." Hua Duoduo pleaded, "I'm tired."

"Call water again," Jiang Chen said.

"Call for water?"

“Yes,” Jiang Chen explained.

"You really think you're the emperor?" Hua Duoduo was speechless.

"What is the emperor? The emperor is just my underling," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Flowers bloom.

Hua Duoduo was completely speechless.

However, Hua Duoduo soon stopped being speechless.

Or perhaps she simply didn't have time to be speechless.

Jiang Chen brought her a feeling she had never experienced before.

……

After winning over Hua Duoduo, Jiang Chen lived a fulfilling life.

At Xingchen Group, Jiang Chen began to gradually delegate authority.

As for why he did this, according to Nie Xingchen, it was so that President Jiang could find a better girlfriend.

Jiang Chen denied this.

Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't deny it.

August 15th, Daming Palace.

"Big brother, have these chickens really evolved?" Jiang Meili looked at the chickens in front of her with curiosity.

"Yes, it has evolved." Jiang Chen nodded.

This chicken was hatched at the Mulan Hunting Grounds.

After the spiritual veins were installed in the Mulan Hunting Grounds, they gained spiritual energy, and the plants and animals there began to evolve slowly. The spirit chicken was exactly what Jiang Chen wanted to cultivate.

"Does the spirit chicken really taste different?" Jiang Meili asked.

"They should be different. We'll know the specifics when we eat them. However, the cultivation of spirit chickens should be different from that of ordinary chickens; we need to study it step by step," Jiang Chen said.

"It will take a long time to cultivate them, let alone achieve mass production?" Jiang Meiyan said.

“That’s true in theory. However, the cultivation cycle for spirit chickens shouldn’t be too long. Perhaps we can develop a cultivation manual before we even go to the Fourth World. Once we arrive in the Fourth World, we can cultivate spirit chickens on a large scale,” Jiang Chen said.

"So it turns out my brother had already figured this out long ago. He's really cunning and shrewd," Jiang Meiyan said.

"..." Jiang Chen's face darkened.

“Meiyan, I think you need to go back to elementary school. You can’t even use idioms anymore,” Jiang Chen said.

“I did nothing wrong,” Jiang Meiyan said.

"..." Jiang Chen.

Jiang Meili and the others nearby laughed.

“Meiyan, raising spirit chickens is a big deal. How about I entrust this to you?” Jiang Chen said.

"Big brother, are you taking revenge for personal reasons?" Jiang Meiyan's face darkened.

"What do you mean by settling personal scores? Do we have any grudges against each other?" Jiang Chen retorted.

"..." Jiang Meiyan.

Does she dare say she has a grudge?

As long as she speaks, Jiang Chen will definitely teach her a lesson.

With a quick glance around, Jiang Meiyan asked, "Big brother, I heard that Si Teng in the Spirit Realm is a demon?" "Si Teng is a member of the Kai Clan. His true identity is a vine demon. His original form is a white vine. He is poisonous, good at strangling, and ruthless. He loves sunlight and has the superpower to use vines as weapons for attack and defense," Jiang Chen explained.

"The Kagyu tribe? Vine demons?" Jiang Meiyan blinked.

Jiang Meili and the others also looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity.

"According to the information I have, Si Teng is a member of the Kali tribe, and her true form is a vine. However, after being driven and stimulated by the Taoist Qiu Shan, her body underwent a dramatic change and she gained great power. For his own benefit and glory, Qiu Shan used Si Teng's power to kill other members of the Kali tribe, thereby gaining wealth and reputation."

"Qiu Shan harbored deep hatred and hostility towards the Yi tribe, and began to subject Si Teng to cruel training and abuse from a young age. He verbally abused and physically assaulted her, and restricted her contact and interaction with the outside world. Until by chance, Si Teng met the charming and talented Shao Yankuan, which brought a glimmer of hope to her life."

"Shao Yankuan taught Si Teng to read and write, to appreciate the beauty of life, and helped her understand more principles and knowledge. They developed feelings and resonance, and Si Teng wanted to stay with Shao Yankuan forever, away from Qiu Shan's clutches and abuse. However, when the two tried to escape, Qiu Shan discovered them. Si Teng was tricked by him and revealed her true colors in front of Shao Yankuan."

"Shao Yankuan, that hypocritical coward, simply ran away, all his vows and promises meaningless. At this moment, Si Teng's mind was slowly beginning to develop another consciousness. Si Teng's love for Shao Yankuan had become so deep that she couldn't extricate herself, and she decided to go find him again. But within her, two split consciousnesses were fiercely fighting, and neither could convince the other."

"Therefore, she split into two identical selves. One was Si Teng, full of independence and autonomy, and the other was Bai Ying, who longed for love and to be loved. Bai Ying married Shao Yankuan as she wished, and in order to distinguish herself from Si Teng and start anew, she changed her appearance and name. Although Bai Ying tried her best to prove that she was the one Shao Yankuan loved, Shao Yankuan was a womanizer, and he still had Si Teng in his heart. This made Bai Ying both angry and annoyed, and she loved him to the point of madness."

"Shao Yankuan secretly contacted Qiu Shan, hoping that he could subdue Bai Ying. Bai Ying knew that he could not escape this calamity, so he planned a rebirth plan in advance to ensure that he could come back to life many years later."

"More than seventy years later, Bai Ying's rebirth plan succeeded. Filled with anger and resentment, she wanted to devour Si Teng and become the complete Si Teng..."

Jiang Chen then recounted the background of "Si Teng".

He said all this because he didn't want the Jiang family's handling of Si Teng's matter in the spirit world to be a sham.

"Can the vine demon's branches create clones?" Jiang Meiyan asked, blinking.

“I don’t know the specifics, but you should have seen those old trees. Those old trees have spirits that have transformed into demons, and their branches and main branches are independent, just like Si Teng and Bai Ying.” Jiang Chen said this anytime, anywhere.

"Understood." Jiang Meiyan and the others nodded.

"Will Si Teng transform into his true form?" Jiang Meili asked.

“It’s easy to transform into the real thing,” Jiang Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"Will Bai Ying's plan succeed?" Jiang Meili asked.

"will not."

Jiang Chen said without hesitation, "Two independent individuals cannot be integrated. Bai Ying's plan will ultimately fail."

In the final duel with Qiu Shan, Bai Ying and Si Teng reconcile, opening their hearts to each other, but both perish. Bai Ying's life was full of emotion and pursuit; she gave everything for Shao Yan Kuan, but ultimately failed. She deeply loved someone, but did not receive the reward she deserved, leaving us with a sense of regret and helplessness.

This is what happens when you're blinded by love.

This was true in my past life, and it is also true in this world of film and television fusion.

“I even saw a ginseng spirit back in the Third World,” Jiang Chen said.

"Ginseng essence?" Jiang Meili and the others looked at Jiang Chen.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: "It is a ginseng spirit that has transformed from a thousand-year-old ginseng into human form."

"A thousand-year-old ginseng? The ten-thousand-year-old ginseng in our hands hasn't even taken human form yet," Ruolan couldn't help but say.

"This may depend on fate. These spirits must first have intelligence in order to transform into human form, and this may be the most difficult part." The concept Jiang Chen was referring to was a setting from a novel he read in his previous life.

"I see." The women found it all very strange.

"Big brother, we are called the descendants of the dragon, so do we have the blood of the dragon in our veins?" Jiang Meiyan suddenly asked.

"I don't know about that, but I didn't activate any bloodline when I used the blood of the true dragon to refine it before, so that's unlikely. However, even if I do have some bloodline in my body, activating it would be a good thing," Jiang Chen said.

"Good thing?"

“Yes, it’s a good thing. We just need to stay true to ourselves,” Jiang Chen said.

"Alright," the women agreed.

"Big brother, now that we have demons, it probably won't be long before we have ghosts. Will ghosts join our Jiang family in the future?" Jiang Meiyan asked.

Hearing Jiang Meiyan's words, the women felt a chill in their hearts.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Chen wasn't sure either.

……

Hangcheng.

"I didn't expect Jian Anjie to be here yet."

Jiang Chen arrived at a coffee shop but didn't see Jian Anjie, which puzzled him a little. However, he didn't pay much attention to it and just waited in front of the coffee shop.

Just then, a figure appeared in Jiang Chen's line of sight.

The next moment, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one Crimson Spirit Fruit.]

"A Luo of Crimson Spirit Fruit?"

"This is the eighteenth time I've checked in and received a Luo of Crimson Spirit Fruit."

"Although I've used quite a few Crimson Spirit Fruits, I got one Luo of Crimson Spirit Fruits from eighteen sign-ins, plus the thousand fruits from the reward for advancing to the Emperor Clan, and the two thousand fruits from the reward for advancing to the Celestial Clan, for a total of five thousand six hundred and six fruits."

"Everyone who has been granted a space bag now has one."

"However, the number of stewards, guards, and maids in the Jiang family will increase, and there are also Star Riders, so the number of Crimson Spirit Fruits will be relatively small."

"Is there any other way to get Crimson Spirit Fruit besides signing in?"

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Cheng Anxin is a character in the TV series "If Running Is My Life".

In the drama, Cheng Anxin, a dance teacher, is highly self-disciplined and hardworking from a young age. Through her own efforts, she embarks on a bright and promising life. Cheng Anxin's only minor trouble is having an overweight and materialistic mother. A car accident takes away Cheng Anxin's legs and everything she has worked so hard to achieve. Once losing hope in life, Cheng Anxin eventually overcomes her despair with her mother's help, rebuilds her personality, and rediscovers a beautiful life.

"If Running Is My Life?"

"The story of 'If Running Is My Life' begins in 24."

"When the story begins, Cheng Anxin has been married for eight years."

"It's 17 now, so Cheng Anxin must have gotten married last year."

In the drama, Qin Feng pursued Cheng Anxin from high school until they got married, a total of eight years. At that time, Cheng Anxin was the school beauty with many suitors. Throughout their three years of high school, Qin Feng barely exchanged a few words with Cheng Anxin. Cheng Anxin came from a poor family; her father died in an accident, and her mother, Zhao Xiufang, faced factory closure when she was fifty.

Zhao Xiufang worked odd jobs for a while, then took over a fried chicken shop, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk to support her daughter until she graduated from university. Qin Feng was different; he came from a good family, had a good personality, and had always had a smooth life, making him Zhao Xiufang's "lucky baby."

At the sophomore year reunion, Cheng Anxin refused the flowers and chocolates offered by others, pragmatically choosing Qin Feng's gift instead. After graduation, she became a dance teacher, quickly becoming the school's star performer within three years. He always assumed Cheng Anxin had given up her career to return to her hometown for love, and Cheng Anxin was happy for Qin Feng to think so, never explaining that she preferred to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of an ox, as the cost of living was lower in a small city, allowing her mother to enjoy a better life sooner.

Never say anything that is detrimental to yourself or makes things difficult for yourself. "Silence" was the most important lesson Zhao Xiufang taught Cheng Anxin, and it was also her consistent attitude towards her son-in-law, Qin Feng.

On Zhao Xiufang's 60th birthday, Cheng Anxin was in a car accident. The hospital issued a critical condition notice, requiring Qin Feng's consent for amputation. Fearing future reproach, Qin Feng didn't stay by his wife's side. Instead, he ran to Zhao Xiufang's hospital room, shouting and yelling, waking the unconscious Zhao Xiufang. The doctor anxiously explained that every minute of delay increased Cheng Anxin's danger, but Qin Feng remained unyielding. Zhao Xiufang, her hands trembling, had no choice but to sign the surgical consent form. At that moment, she knew Qin Feng was not a responsible person.

Zhao Xiufang saw through Qin Feng's "baby-like" side and resolved to lose weight. Besides wanting to set a good example for Cheng Anxin, she also had another consideration: Qin Feng was unreliable, and she needed to become healthy and strong to properly care for her daughter. After Cheng Anxin was discharged from the hospital, Qin Feng couldn't accept her disability, and even less could he bear the endless hardship. Sometimes he would be standing at the door, but unwilling to step inside.

Unable to bear her son's complaints, Qin's mother went to Zhao Xiufang and demanded that Qin Feng stay with her from Monday to Friday. Qin Feng, a sophisticated egoist, reluctantly shifted the burden of caring for his wife onto the sixty-year-old Zhao Xiufang. Zhao Xiufang pretended not to care; for her daughter's marital happiness, she praised Qin Feng, commending him for giving them his bonuses and for depositing 20,000 yuan into Cheng Anxin's account when she needed a prosthetic leg.

Cheng Anxin snapped at Qin Feng, and Zhao Xiufang advised her, saying that if she kept giving Qin Feng the cold shoulder, even a good person would be driven away. Later, Cheng Anxin finally told Zhao Xiufang the truth: Qin Feng didn't want to touch her. Zhao Xiufang foresaw from Qin Feng's increasingly distant attitude that he would eventually divorce Cheng Anxin, and that what she needed to do was to fight for her daughter's rights as much as possible.

Cheng Anxin is a skilled dancer, but she has no other means of making a living. The cost of her prosthetic leg and rehabilitation is piling up, yet the mother and daughter have no income. Zhao Xiufang and Cheng Anxin desperately need money. Since Zhao Xiufang successfully lost weight, Cheng Anxin has trusted her mother even more.

In the past, Zhao Xiufang lacked perseverance. After attending only two fitness classes, she would complain about the instructor and demand a full refund. Cheng Anxin always looked at her with pity and disdain, thinking that Zhao Xiufang was too old and out of touch with the times. Now, Zhao Xiufang trains at least four or five hours a day, combining long-distance running and bodybuilding. In just half a year, she has visibly become stronger. Cheng Anxin realized that experience truly matters; her mother not only has amazing willpower but also a profound understanding of human relationships.

Qin Feng's workplace commended him for his unwavering loyalty to his wife, threatening him with an award and arranging for a reporter to interview him. Zhao Xiufang persuaded Cheng Anxin to appear on camera, and she herself enthusiastically praised her son-in-law. Qin's mother saw Qin Feng flirting with Chu Zhijuan in the supermarket; besides being shocked, she was also relieved that Qin Feng, who had always opposed divorce for the sake of his reputation, could finally get rid of the infertile Cheng Anxin.

For Qin Feng's future, Qin's mother invited Zhao Xiufang to her home to negotiate, offering her shops and one million yuan in cash in exchange for Cheng Anxin to voluntarily file for divorce. Seeing that Zhao Xiufang remained silent, she quickly pulled her husband down to kneel and kowtow, appealing to his emotions and reason.

As soon as Zhao Xiufang left, Qin's mother resumed her cold expression. Not only Qin's mother, but Qin Feng had always looked down on Zhao Xiufang, thinking she was uneducated and just a small-time fried chicken vendor. Little did he know that Zhao Xiufang, though seemingly carefree, was actually shrewd and intelligent beneath her rough exterior.

Qin Feng was unaware that he had been "schemed" against by Zhao Xiufang after his divorce. It was his vanity that led him to accept awards and interviews, which elevated him to a pedestal. When it came time for the divorce, Zhao Xiufang wanted to give him a way out, demanding not only an equal division of marital property but also that his parents contribute their savings to settle the matter. The day after the shop transfer was completed and the one million yuan was deposited into her account, Cheng Anxin divorced Qin Feng. Zhao Xiufang informed the tenants that the monthly rent of eight thousand yuan would henceforth be directly deposited into her account.

Cheng Anxin wasn't one to give up; she was a tough woman. With the support of her family, the help of her friend Lin Tianyu, and the guidance of Xiao Qiu, she donned a prosthetic leg and rose again. To make a living, she even started a company with Xiao Qiu, doing live-streaming e-commerce, and they made quite a bit of money. But Cheng Anxin always had a knot in her heart—her obsession with dance. When she received an invitation from a television station, she accepted without hesitation. Under Lin Tianyu's choreography and after undergoing intensive training, she actually returned to the stage. During their time together, the two gradually developed feelings for each other and eventually got together. Moreover, Cheng Anxin unexpectedly became pregnant.

According to the plot, Cheng Anxin is at most twenty-six years old now.

"So young, and she's entered the grave of marriage."

Information about Cheng Anxin surfaced in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

Just as Jiang Chen was staring at Cheng Anxin and lost in thought, a voice came from the side.
