Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1507 Zhang Jiayan's Thoughts, First Meeting with Gu Yan
“There’s no reason why,” Zhang Jiayan said.

"No reason? Jiayan, you don't think that because I have many girlfriends, I won't like you anymore, do you? If that's the case, your worries are unnecessary, because I like new things but don't get tired of the old." Jiang Chen said righteously.

“…” Zhang Jiayan.

Who in this world can put it so openly and honestly as to say they love the new but not the old?

He already thought Jiang Chen was a jerk when Jiang Chen mentioned having several girlfriends, but he never imagined Jiang Chen would be this utterly despicable. Even in more open Western countries, it seems like there aren't people like this, right?
"Give me a chance, okay?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Jiayan with deep affection.

Zhang Jiayan felt Jiang Chen's gaze and looked up.

In that instant, Zhang Jiayan was captivated by Jiang Chen's deep and affectionate eyes, and involuntarily nodded.

"That's great." Jiang Chen stepped forward and embraced Zhang Jiayan.

The moment Jiang Chen pulled her into his arms, Zhang Jiayan regained consciousness.

However, in Jiang Chen's arms, Zhang Jiayan paused for a moment before giving up.

Who is Jiang Chen?

That person is incredibly shrewd.

He could feel Zhang Jiayan's reaction.

In Jiang Chen's view, Zhang Jiayan's reaction was a good omen.

Jiang Chen immediately released Zhang Jiayan.

"Shall we go shopping?" Jiang Chen asked Zhang Jiayan.

"Okay." Zhang Jiayan did not refuse.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen pulled Zhang Jiayan to a nearby shopping mall.

When it comes to accompanying girls shopping, Jiang Chen is a professional.

In two hours, Jiang Chen not only bought Zhang Jiayan a lot of things, but also made her beam with joy.

"Shall we go see a movie?" Jiang Chen said to Zhang Jiayan.

"I... I have to go to work later. I need to go back and change my clothes to get ready for work," Zhang Jiayan said.

"Shall I take you home?" Jiang Chen said.

Zhang Jiayan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Walk."

At that moment, Jiang Chen pulled Zhang Jiayan toward the parking lot.

After putting the purchased items into the trunk, Jiang Chen and Zhang Jiayan got into the car.

However, Jiang Chen did not start driving immediately, but looked at Zhang Jiayan instead.

“President Jiang, you…” Zhang Jiayan felt uneasy under Jiang Chen’s gaze.

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but moved closer to Zhang Jiayan.

“Mr. Jiang…” Zhang Jiayan was a little nervous, her hands clenched tightly.

"I'm a little thirsty," Jiang Chen said.

"I'll get you some bottled water," Zhang Jiayan said.

"I don't want mineral water, I want..." Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Zhang Jiayan's mouth.

“…” Zhang Jiayan.

Jiang Chen kissed him directly.

Zhang Jiayan was shocked.

But a moment later, Zhang Jiayan wrapped her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

Thunder and lightning.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Jiang Chen and Zhang Jiayan finally separated.

"Jiayan." Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Jiayan with deep affection.

"President Jiang..." Zhang Jiayan's face looked as if she had been... well, you know.

Jiang Chen lowered his head and kissed him again.

This time, Zhang Jiayan was even more cooperative.

a long time.

Jiang Chen then drove away from the parking lot.

Zhang Jiayan lowered her head and straightened her clothes.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen drove to Xiyun Residential Area.

"Shall I take you up?" Jiang Chen asked, but his tone left no room for refusal.

Zhang Jiayan nodded.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Zhang Jiayan arrived at Zhang Jiayan's house.

Of course, Zhang Jiayan's home is rented, and she hasn't bought a house yet since she just returned to China.

“Mr. Jiang, this place is a bit small,” Zhang Jiayan said.

“Small? No, not at all,” Jiang Chen said.

"What?" Zhang Jiayan was slightly taken aback and looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

Jiang Chen placed the things he was carrying on the coffee table, then went to Zhang Jiayan, put his arm around her waist, and placed his hand on a spot: "It's really not small."

“You…” Zhang Jiayan blushed.

Jiang Chen lowered his head, and then...

“President Jiang…” Zhang Jiayan held Jiang Chen’s head.

After a while.

Zhang Jiayan said, "President Jiang, I have to go to work now."

"Alright." Jiang Chen raised his head: "It's a pity that I'm leaving Hong Kong soon, otherwise, I would definitely have won you over."

"Mr. Jiang, are you leaving Hong Kong?" Zhang Jiayan felt a pang of reluctance.

"Well, I came to Hong Kong on a business trip, and I also have company matters to attend to, so I can't stay here for long," Jiang Chen explained.

"Then, then..." Zhang Jiayan hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Jiayan, what do you want to ask?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, it's nothing..." Zhang Jiayan shook her head.

“Even if I don’t come to Hong Kong, I will miss you. Besides, we can keep in touch in other ways,” Jiang Chen said. “And you can also come to Shanghai to see me.”

“I…I won’t come looking for you…” Zhang Jiayan said.

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow: "Say it again."

“I will go whenever I have time,” Zhang Jiayan said.

"That's a good girl." Jiang Chen kissed Zhang Jiayan.

Zhang Jiayan rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen: "I'm going to work now, you..."

"Do you want me to take you to the company?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No..." Zhang Jiayan quickly refused.

Jiang Chen is a shareholder of SNK-NEWS. If an SNK-NEWS employee were to drive her to work, there would be countless rumors circulating within SNK-NEWS.

"Okay." Jiang Chen didn't say anything more.

A moment later, Jiang Chen said goodbye to Zhang Jiayan.

"After this incident, we can win over Zhang Jiayan next time."

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

Today, I've done everything except for the last step.

……

Shenzhen, at the entrance of Fullshare Bank.

"President Jiang?" Mary Zhang approached Jiang Chen and whispered, "Why are you here?"

"I just missed you, didn't I?" Jiang Chen said, looking at Mary Zhang.

Because of his trip to the Third World, and the time he spent in the First World, it had been almost a year since Jiang Chen had seen Mary Zhang.

As a playboy who's always looking for something new but never gets tired of the old, I especially love the feeling of absence makes the heart grow fonder.

“This is the company, you…” Mary Zhang didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"Don't worry, if anyone sees us, just tell them it's for official business. Besides, as long as you don't care, it doesn't matter if our relationship is exposed," Jiang Chen said.

“…” Mary Zhang.

Mary Zhang didn't want to expose her relationship with Jiang Chen.

In her view, her relationship with Jiang Chen was just an interlude in her life.

"Have you already left work?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Mm.” Mary Zhang nodded.

"Let's go eat," Jiang Chen invited.

“I’m going home, Linbao is waiting for me,” Mary Zhang said.

"Is your housekeeper here? Let her take care of things for now." Jiang Chen looked at Mary Zhang and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't you really want to be alone with me?"

“I…” Mary Zhang fell silent.

As a woman, especially one who has experienced life's hardships, how can she not think about men?

Women are human beings too; they are not devoid of desires.

"Get in the car," Jiang Chen said.

Mary Zhang hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

“That’s more like it.” Jiang Chen grasped Mary Zhang’s hand.

“Mr. Jiang, you can drive away first,” Mary Zhang said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen started the car.

Mary Zhang looked at Jiang Chen, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I've become more handsome?" Jiang Chen asked.

"A little," Mary Zhang didn't deny it. After almost two months apart, Jiang Chen seemed even more handsome and charming.

Mary Zhang didn't have any romantic feelings for Jiang Chen; she just felt good about him, and with Jiang Chen pursuing her, they ended up getting what they wanted.

But a more attractive man is more likely to be liked, even if that liking isn't love.

A moment later, Jiang Chen parked his car under a large bridge.

"What are you doing here?" Mary Zhang asked.

“There’s no one here, we can have some alone time.” Jiang Chen unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned towards Mary Zhang.

"Mr. Jiang, you're really bold." Even though she said that, Mary Zhang still put her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

After the two spent half an hour together, Jiang Chen finally drove away.

“Let’s go to the hotel,” Mary Zhang said to Jiang Chen.

"Go to the hotel? What about Linbao's place?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised to hear Mary Zhang's words.

“I’ve already told the nanny,” Mary Zhang said.

"I should have gone straight to the hotel," Jiang Chen said with some regret.

If I had gone straight to the hotel, I probably would have already...hehehe.

“If you don’t want to, then forget it,” Mary Zhang said.

“Who said I’m unwilling?” Jiang Chen glanced at Mary Zhang and said, “However, Mary Zhang, when are you going to meet my family?”

"Why are you meeting your family?" Mary Zhang looked at Jiang Chen warily.

“If we’re family, we should naturally stay together,” Jiang Chen said.

“President Jiang, please don’t say these things again.” Mary Zhang hesitated for a moment before saying, “I think it’s best for us to maintain this relationship. If you…” Mary Zhang didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

“Mary Zhang, don’t worry, I won’t force you if you don’t want to. However, I want to tell you about my Jiang family situation. As you know, I have quite a few girlfriends, and they basically won’t register to marry me, but they know each other…” He told Mary Zhang everything except about the Qi Yun family and which women he had.

Of course, Jiang Chen's purpose in saying this was very simple.

Once Mary Zhang has figured things out, she can join the Jiang family.

If Mary Zhang doesn't join, it's Mary Zhang's loss, and Jiang Chen naturally won't say anything.

“…” Mary Zhang listened silently.

In Jiang Chen's view, this was just an ordinary thing he said, but in Mary Zhang's view, it was a scumbag's declaration.

Mary Zhang has met all sorts of people in her life, but she has never met anyone like Jiang Chen.

"In short, let me know when you've thought it through," Jiang Chen said finally.

"President Jiang, is that what you and they said too?" Mary Zhang couldn't help but ask.

“Yes, every single one of them is like that.” Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation.

“…” Mary Zhang.

"President Jiang, you really are something else." Mary Zhang was speechless.

"I'm a scumbag, and I know it perfectly well. Besides..." Jiang Chen lowered his voice and said, "You know my fighting prowess. If I only have one girlfriend, who can handle it?"

"..." Mary Zhang's face flushed slightly.

Jiang Chen's fighting prowess is also her love.

A moment later, Jiang Chen drove to a hotel parking lot.

"Let's go eat first," Jiang Chen said to Mary Zhang.

"Okay." Mary Zhang straightened her clothes, opened the car door, and got out of the car.

Jiang Chen approached Mary Zhang and said, "Let's go."

Mary Zhang nodded and followed Jiang Chen toward the hotel.

Just as Jiang Chen and his companion arrived at the hotel entrance, a beautifully dressed woman walked over from the other side.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a high-grade low-level spirit field transformation map.]

"A high-grade low-level spirit field transformation plan?"

"This is the tenth time I've checked in."

The Low-Grade Spirit Field Transformation Plan transforms existing land into Low-Grade Spirit Fields, with a total of ten acres of Low-Grade Spirit Fields that can be transformed.

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

The advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the intermediate low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform 1,000 acres of low-grade spirit fields.

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

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

Gu Yan is a character in the drama "You From the Ocean".

In the drama, Gu Yan is a researcher at the Institute of Biological Sciences and the pharmaceutical director of Boan Pharmaceutical Group. She is also Dai Xi's best friend. On the surface, Gu Yan is gentle, kind, and sincere, and acts maturely and frankly. In reality, she has a twisted soul with an extreme greed for life, and she is secretly manipulating and plotting behind the scenes.

"You Who Came From the Ocean?"

"I never expected to run into the female lead of this drama."

"Gu Yan..."

Gu Yan is Dai Xi's only good friend. She appears to be in her twenties, but is actually over forty. Within this beautiful body resides a twisted soul. Twenty years ago, Gu Yan was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was told she didn't have long to live. Later, she met the Mermaid Queen, who gave her her blood. Her terminal illness was miraculously cured, and her appearance has remained unchanged for over twenty years. However, the effects of the blood eventually wear off. Although her appearance remains youthful, she lives in constant fear of death, and her mind is almost twisted in her struggle to survive.

She approached Dai Xi, also for Dai Xi's blood; her betrayal nearly dealt Dai Xi a fatal blow. In the end, Gu Yan repented, let Dai Xi go, and died of old age.

"Can mermaid blood cure terminal illnesses?"

"Does the blood of the merfolk have such effects?"

Jiang Chen was considering taking blood from the merfolk to study.

However, Jiang Chen did not think Gu Yan was wrong.

What's wrong with taking mermaid blood to save your life?
If it were him, even if it came to that point, he wouldn't care at all even if he slaughtered tens of thousands of people.

After all, everyone looks out for themselves.

"correct."

"Gu Yan has seen the merfolk and knows where they are."

"Perhaps we can find the merfolk through Gu Yan."

A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you looking at?" Mary Zhang's voice came from the side.

“I’m looking at her.” Jiang Chen glanced at Gu Yan.

“Her?” Mary Zhang was slightly taken aback.

"Her name is Gu Yan, and she is the pharmaceutical director of Boan Pharmaceutical Group," Jiang Chen said.

"Pharmaceutical Director of Boan Pharmaceutical Group? I've heard of Boan Pharmaceutical Group, but I didn't expect her to be the Pharmaceutical Director." Mary Zhang works at Fullshare Bank and has also heard of Boan Pharmaceutical Group.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect to run into her here,” Jiang Chen said.

"Should we go say hello?" Mary Zhang asked.

“I’ve only seen her file; this is the first time I’ve met her in person. There’s no need to greet her. Besides, right now, you’re the most important person to me,” Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"How annoying!" Although she said that, Mary Zhang felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Jiang Chen and Mary Zhang entered the hotel.

Jiang Chen didn't take Mary Zhang to a restaurant; instead, he booked the presidential suite directly.

As soon as Jiang Chen and Mary Zhang entered the presidential suite, the waiter brought them food and drinks.

"Come on, let's have a drink." After the waiter left, Jiang Chen opened a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for each of them.

“Okay.” Mary Zhang smiled radiantly.

The two chatted and ate, and their relationship quickly improved.

After dinner, Jiang Chen invited Mary Zhang to dance.

"Let's chat first." Seeing that Jiang Chen wanted to take her to the bedroom, Mary Zhang quickly pulled Jiang Chen to sit on the sofa.

"What do you want to talk about?" Jiang Chen pulled Mary Zhang into his arms.

"Let's just chat," Mary Zhang said.

"What do you think of my previous suggestion?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What suggestion?" Mary Zhang looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion.

“Start your own business, or become a shareholder of Fullshare Bank,” Jiang Chen said.

"President Jiang, why did you do this?" Mary Zhang asked, puzzled.

“Because everyone in our Jiang family manages the family business, and you are my woman, you should naturally manage our Jiang family business as well. Therefore, I will provide you with funds to start a business, or to acquire shares in Fengsheng Bank, and as a shareholder of Fengsheng Bank, gradually take over Fengsheng Bank in the future.” Jiang Chen did not hide anything.

Mary Zhang stared at Jiang Chen in shock.

She never imagined that Jiang Chen had such thoughts.

Immediately, Mary Zhang seemed to remember something and asked, "Mr. Jiang, all your girlfriends..."

“Those with management experience will manage the company if they are willing. Those without management experience, or who don’t want to manage the company, will basically just be shareholders in name only,” Jiang Chen replied.

"Aren't you afraid someone will take your property?" Mary Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"Is Xingchen Group big?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Big.” Mary Zhang didn’t understand why Jiang Chen asked this, but the question was easy to answer.

“The Starry Sky Group is just a drop in the ocean of our Jiang family’s business,” Jiang Chen said.

"What? The Star Group is just a drop in the ocean?" Mary Zhang looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief. At this moment, she wondered if she had misheard.

"Yes, if you're willing to come with me to meet my family, I'll tell you everything about the Jiang family." He absolutely wouldn't reveal anything about the Jiang family until Mary Zhang agreed, or rather, until Mary Zhang officially joined the Jiang family.

“This…” Mary Zhang fell silent for a moment.

"So, have you decided what to do now?" Jiang Chen continued his previous question: "Start your own business or become a shareholder of Fullshare Bank?"
