Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1522 Huang Yimei and her best friend
"Teng Xiaoxiao?"

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Teng Xiaoxiao from Xinqi Magazine.

She is also the female lead in "The Coolest World".

The last time I saw Teng Xiaoxiao was before the Chinese New Year. He even asked her why she wasn't going home for the holiday.

Unexpectedly, more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

“President Jiang, it really is you.” Teng Xiaoxiao walked over.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen looked Teng Xiaoxiao up and down, who was wearing a dress, and smiled, "Teng Xiaoxiao, are you off work?"

"Yeah, I just got off work and was about to go out to buy some things," Teng Xiaoxiao replied.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen asked Teng Xiaoxiao about her work and showed concern for her life.

A few years ago, or even in my past life, I would have stammered and struggled to keep up with a conversation with a reporter as eloquent as Teng Xiaoxiao.

Under Jiang Chen's sweet talk, or rather, his eloquence, Teng Xiaoxiao quickly beamed with joy.

"Teng Xiaoxiao, there's a restaurant up ahead. Shall I treat you to dinner?" Jiang Chen asked, but his tone left no room for refusal.

However, Teng Xiaoxiao didn't seem to pick up on Jiang Chen's tone and simply agreed happily.

"Walk."

Jiang Chen led Teng Xiaoxiao to the restaurant in front.

After ordering food and drinks, Jiang Chen and Teng Xiaoxiao ate and chatted.

However, this time it was Jiang Chen asking the question and Teng Xiaoxiao answering.

Jiang Chen asked about Teng Xiaoxiao's experience as a reporter.

As a journalist, Teng Xiaoxiao has experience in interviews, especially undercover investigations.

"Teng Xiaoxiao, it's fine if you do it openly, but be careful with undercover investigations. You're a woman, it's easy for things to get into trouble," Jiang Chen said.

"Something happened? How could that be?" Teng Xiaoxiao asked.

"I'm telling the truth. There are quite a few female reporters in this world who have gotten into trouble while doing undercover work." Jiang Chen felt that undercover reporters were almost the same as infiltrators. If he encountered such a reporter, especially a female reporter, he would definitely not be polite.

He was an egoist, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to his enemies.

"Probably not," Teng Xiaoxiao said.

"Don't you? Better safe than sorry, especially since you're so beautiful," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Teng Xiaoxiao.

“If I encountered a reporter like you, Teng Xiaoxiao, doing an undercover investigation, I would definitely arrest you, lock you up in a basement, and have your babies. Once you've had seven or eight children, you won't betray me,” Jiang Chen said.

"How could you do this?" Teng Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, feeling a chill run down her spine.

“You’re here on a covert mission, which makes you an enemy, and you’re so beautiful, which makes you very dangerous. I’m telling you all this today so you can stay vigilant,” Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." When she realized what was happening, Teng Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chen with some gratitude.

“I’m not only your boss, but also your friend, so it’s only right that I remind you,” Jiang Chen said.

Teng Xiaoxiao gave Jiang Chen a grateful look, but there were some things she would not change.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Teng Xiaoxiao left the restaurant.

"Teng Xiaoxiao, will your boyfriend come to pick you up?" Jiang Chen asked.

"My boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend," Teng Xiaoxiao said, somewhat puzzled.

"Last time you said you didn't have a boyfriend, I thought you'd already found one this year." Now that Jiang Chen has met many female leads, he naturally won't win them all over. When he first saw Teng Xiaoxiao, Jiang Chen had thought about winning her over, but although he still has that thought, it's not as strong now.

"Right now, I just want to focus on my career," Teng Xiaoxiao said.

"Great, that's a good thing." Jiang Chen laughed loudly.

"Why?" Teng Xiaoxiao turned to look at Jiang Chen.

“I’m your boss, so it’s in my best interest for you to focus on your business. After all, you’ve created value for my company,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"..." Teng Xiaoxiao.

“President Jiang, you really are a capitalist,” Teng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but say.

“Yes, capitalists are the ones who exploit you, so you have to be careful,” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but say.

"Oh? What will you do to me if I accidentally do that?" Teng Xiaoxiao asked.

“Yes, exploit your labor, even devour you whole,” Jiang Chen said.

"Swallow me? How? Do you eat people?" Teng Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chen.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded. “As for how to eat it, well…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but his gaze was meaningful.

"President Jiang, is it really appropriate for you to say this in front of me?" Teng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it good?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"I just can't say..." Teng Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, but she wasn't angry.

Jiang Chen was gentle and refined, handsome and dashing, and he only spoke happily to Teng Xiaoxiao.

"I'm only telling you," Jiang Chen said.

"I, I... I want to go home," Teng Xiaoxiao said.

"Then I'll take you?" Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Teng Xiaoxiao did not refuse.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen took Teng Xiaoxiao home.

After dropping Teng Xiaoxiao off at home, Jiang Chen drove to a shopping mall parking lot.

After parking his car, Jiang Chen strolled leisurely towards the mall.

A moment later, a beautiful figure appeared in Jiang Chen's line of sight.

"Sure enough, it's here."

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

That beautiful figure was none other than Huang Yimei.

Upon seeing Huang Yimei, Jiang Chen quickly walked over.

However, when they were less than ten meters away from Huang Yimei, a figure came to Huang Yimei's side and chatted and laughed with her.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten low-level spirit cannons.]

"Ten low-level spirit cannons?"

"Received the tenth sign-in."

"According to the system description, this low-level spirit cannon is similar to the M777 cannon, with a large barrel length to caliber ratio and a smaller propellant charge, making it suitable for low-angle firing."

"The difference is that the low-level spirit cannon is engraved with runes and array patterns. The super cannon of the First World has a range of 1000 kilometers, while the low-level spirit cannon has a range of 2000 kilometers."

"Unlike cannons, spirit cannons use low-grade spirit stones (only low-grade spirit stones are used). A single shot from a low-grade spirit cannon costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and its power is equivalent to a full-force attack from a Martial Emperor."

"The cooldown time for each firing of a low-level spirit cannon is five minutes."

"As long as there are enough low-grade spirit stones, a low-level spirit cannon can fire one hundred times in a row. After firing one hundred times in a row, the low-level spirit cannon will need to undergo a three-day cooling-off period."

“Each low-level spirit cannon requires five Grandmaster martial artists to operate.”

"However, the sign-in reward is pretty good."

"It's a pity that too many low-grade spirit stones were used."

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

Bai Manjun is a character in the TV series "Go to the Windy Place".

In the drama, she plays a divorced full-time housewife with a straightforward personality. Her life takes a turn for the worse after she becomes pregnant. She initially believed that marrying for love would bring her happiness, settling into the role of a stay-at-home mom. However, she experiences betrayal and deception, leading to a painful divorce. Her biggest hobby is listening to music to relieve her stress. As a new tenant in the courtyard, Bai Manjun's encounter with Hu Youyu is not accidental. They resonate and connect through music, always finding themselves with endless topics to discuss.

"The story of 'Go to Where the Wind Blows' begins in 22, and it's currently 17."

"So, there are still five years before the story begins."

"Bai Manjun may not be divorced yet."

"I wonder how old she is now."

In the drama, Hu Youyu goes to a bar in Yanjing to attend a concert and unexpectedly discovers Bai Manjun, who has just divorced. The two sit on the floor and chat all night. What was initially thought to be a chance encounter turns out to be a revelation that Bai Manjun eventually comes to Youfeng Courtyard for a vacation. The two gradually become acquainted, and on the night Hu Youyu gets drunk, they have a sexual encounter.

Once a relationship is established, it should be cherished. However, Bai Manjun rejected Hu Youyu's confession, and nothing further developed between them. This was because Bai Manjun was already over 40, her daughter was an adult and in university, while Hu Youyu was just 30. There was a ten-year age gap between them.

After arriving in Yanjing, Hu Youyu continued dating Bai Manjun, and it's hard to say how it will end. Actually, Bai Manjun is the more proactive one, but she's also the more rational one; whether they can be together depends on her own decision.

For Bai Manjun, what she was looking for was probably results.

"How come Bai Manjun is with Huang Yimei now?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

However, Jiang Chen hasn't met a full-time housewife in a long time.

Well, the Gu Jia of the past was, strictly speaking, a semi-full-time housewife; the only true full-time housewives were Si Meng and others.

Unlike those who work.

Full-time housewives usually come from wealthy families. Therefore, they live a life of luxury and exude an air of elegance.

Bai Manjun in front of me is just like that.

He exuded an air of nobility.

"It seems that Bai Manjun's ex-husband in the drama was also a businessman."

Jiang Chen continued walking forward while thinking about it.

Well, now that he's here, Jiang Chen won't change his mind just because Bai Manjun is here.

"Huang Yimei." Jiang Chen walked over.

"Jiang Chen, you're here." Huang Yimei's eyes showed nervousness when she saw Jiang Chen.

Her relationship with Jiang Chen was unknown to others, so she didn't want others to know.

"Yi Mei, who is this?" Bai Manjun asked from the side.

"This is my friend Jiang Chen," Huang Yimei introduced.

"Friends?" Bai Manjun's gaze fell on Huang Yimei.

She knew Huang Yimei was already divorced. Now, a young man she didn't even know was showing up, which made her suspicious.

"Yes." Huang Yimei's attitude was very affirmative.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Chen," Jiang Chen said to Bai Manjun with a smile.

“Bai Manjun is Huang Yimei’s college classmate and best friend,” Bai Manjun said.

Jiang Chen's heart moved.

Huang Yimei is thirty-seven years old this year, so Bai Manjun is also about thirty-seven years old. Five years later, Bai Manjun will be forty-two years old, and Hu Youyu will be just 30 years old. The two are ten years apart.

The age setting is correct.

However, Bai Manjun is Huang Yimei's college classmate, which also means that Bai Manjun is a high-achieving student.

"Jiang Chen, when did you meet Huang Yimei?" Bai Manjun's eyes flashed with gossip.

“We’ve known each other for a few months.” Jiang Chen naturally saw the gossip in Bai Manjun’s eyes and found it somewhat amusing.

“It’s been a few months.” Bai Manjun’s gaze swept over Jiang Chen and Huang Yimei.

"I met him when I was on a business trip to Shanghai. I didn't expect to run into him here again." Huang Yimei winked at Jiang Chen.

"Really?" Bai Manjun looked at Jiang Chen.

“Yes, we met in Shanghai. Even if we meet again this time, it will only be ten times,” Jiang Chen said.

"Ah..." Bai Manjun was dumbfounded.

She thought Huang Yimei was in love again.

But the fact that they only met so few times over several months made her doubt her own suspicions.

"Jiang Chen, what's wrong?" Huang Yimei just wanted Jiang Chen to leave as soon as possible.

"Oh, I came over to say hello when I saw you," Jiang Chen said.

"I have something to do today, Jiang Chen. If you're not busy, we'll be leaving now," Huang Yimei said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled, took out his phone, and sent a message.

The next moment, Huang Yimei's phone rang.

However, Huang Yimei did not take it out to look at it, because she had already guessed it.

After exchanging a few words with Bai Manjun, he turned and left.

"Yi Mei, is there really nothing between you and Jiang Chen?" Bai Manjun looked at Huang Yi Mei after Jiang Chen left.

“What do we have?” Huang Yimei said.

"Really?" Bai Manjun's eyes sparkled with laughter: "However, you can have something with him. This Jiang Chen looks so young. Although his appearance is not stunning, he has a unique charm."

“It’s impossible for us, he has a girlfriend,” Huang Yimei said.

"He has a girlfriend? Yeah, that's normal. It's not surprising that a guy like that has a girlfriend. But his girlfriend is definitely not as good as you. After all, even women would be interested in you now," Bai Manjun said.

"Nonsense..." Huang Yimei thought of Jiang Chen's girlfriends and felt uncomfortable.

On the other side, after parting ways with Huang Yimei and Bai Manjun, they arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

However, upon entering the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Jiang Chen encountered Xu Hongdou.

"What a coincidence."

Seeing Xu Hongdou reminded Jiang Chen of Xu Hongmi.

I've been with Xu Hongmi for a long time now, and I don't know what she would do if I told her I wanted her sister.

However, Jiang Chen felt that Xu Hongmi was more likely to agree.

After all, only by joining the Jiang family could one enjoy the benefits of the Jiang family and become his woman.

The benefits offered by the Jiang family are so enticing that ordinary people, and even grandmasters and martial kings, cannot resist them.

"Hello, I've made a reservation." Jiang Chen showed his reservation information.

"This is the room key." Xu Hongdou, who was greeting Jiang Chen, took out the room key after hearing what Jiang Chen said.

"Your name is Xu Hongdou?" Jiang Chen looked at Xu Hongdou's name tag.

"Sir, is there anything else?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"No." Jiang Chen chuckled and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, in the presidential suite.

"You've arrived." Jiang Chen looked at Huang Yimei, a smile playing on his lips.

He had previously texted Huang Yimei to ask her to come to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

I waited for half an hour, thinking Huang Yimei wasn't coming, but she actually did.

"I..." Huang Yimei glanced at Jiang Chen and asked, "When did you come to Yanjing?"

“The day before yesterday,” Jiang Chen replied.

"The day before yesterday? Why are you only contacting me now?" Huang Yimei asked.

"I also wanted to ask you sooner, but are you willing to join my Jiang family and live peacefully with my women?" Jiang Chen sensed the resentment in Huang Yimei's tone and felt somewhat satisfied.

"Does it have to be this way?" Huang Yimei asked.

“Yes, that’s the rule, and I won’t change it. Even if you haven’t thought it through yet, I will continue to wait for you,” Jiang Chen said as he approached Huang Yimei.

Huang Yimei looked at Jiang Chen without saying a word.

Jiang Chen put his arm around Huang Yimei's waist: "The most important thing now is what you've decided."

"Do I really have to answer?" Huang Yimei asked.

“We’ve already revealed part of the situation of our Jiang family to you. Do you think a family like ours could keep its secrets if we didn’t do this? Although we can set an example for you, if we set an example for you, will we have to set an example for others in the future? In that case, wouldn’t the family rules become just for show? Without family rules, is it still a family?” Jiang Chen said.

Whether it's the laws of each country or other forces, rules are necessary.

It's like playing chess, which has rules.

“This…” Huang Yimei’s expression was complicated.

If she didn't have feelings for Jiang Chen, she wouldn't have asked that question, but the thought of Jiang Chen's girlfriends made her hesitate.

She doesn't want a scumbag like that.

However, Jiang Chen's matter aroused her curiosity and made it impossible for her to forget Jiang Chen in a short period of time.

Jiang Chen's charm, talent, and combat prowess are all outstanding, making him very attractive to these women.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get on with what we need to do." Jiang Chen started moving his hands.

Today, Huang Yimei wore a beige long dress, which made her look exceptionally charming.

It was one thing when I was with Teng Xiaoxiao.

But when he was with Cheng Lu, a fire was already burning inside Jiang Chen.

"I... I just wanted to talk to you about something today," Huang Yimei stammered.

“We can talk as we go…” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Huang Yimei.

Although Jiang Chen only said half a sentence, Huang Yimei understood.

She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't.

Jiang Chen laughed and picked up Huang Yimei in his arms.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen thought of Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou and Huang Yimei were played by the same actress in their previous lives.

However, they are like a green apple and a red apple, each with its own flavor.

If I could talk to them about our dreams in this hotel...

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen carried Huang Yimei and walked towards the bedroom.

"You, is this what you're thinking about as soon as we meet?" Huang Yimei asked, her voice tinged with grievance.

"If you don't want to think about this, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Chen countered.

"..." Huang Yimei.

“However, you can join my Jiang family,” Jiang Chen said.

"You...do you really have to do this?" Huang Yimei was a sentimental person, but after refusing to join the Jiang family, Jiang Chen only wanted to communicate with her, not talk about feelings. However, every time she wanted to reject Jiang Chen, she couldn't help but come to him.
"You want to date me?" Jiang Chen asked, looking down at Huang Yimei after throwing her onto the bed.

"I..." Huang Yimei was about to say something when suddenly her eyes darted around...
