Chapter 1527 "Queen of Tears" Hong Hai-ren's Shock

The 63 Building is a comprehensive tourist attraction and a symbol of South Korea.

Jiang Chen didn't visit the 63 Building when he came to Korea last time, so when Cheng Lingyun wanted to come to the 63 Building this time, he agreed without hesitation.

"President Jiang, you haven't been here before?" Cheng Lingyun asked when he saw Jiang Chen looking around curiously.

"Yes, this is my first time here too." Jiang Chen nodded, not embarrassed at all.

“I’ve heard that the most famous observation deck in the 63 Building offers a panoramic view of Seoul. On a clear day, you can take the glass elevator up to the observation deck and see the sea all the way to Incheon. Especially at dusk, the Han River, the Han River Bridge, and the car lights create a beautiful night view. I wonder if that’s really true,” Cheng Lingyun said.

“We’ll find out when we go and see,” Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

Soon, Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun arrived at the observation deck of Building 63.

"The scenery is so beautiful," Cheng Lingyun said.

“Come on, let’s take a picture,” Jiang Chen said.

"Taking a picture?" Cheng Lingyun was slightly taken aback, then turned his head and saw the camera in Jiang Chen's hand.

In an instant, Cheng Lingyun asked, "President Jiang, when did you bring a camera?"

“When you’re out having fun, you naturally need to bring a camera. Here, let me take a picture of you,” Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Cheng Lingyun did not refuse.

clack clack...

Jiang Chen recorded every beautiful moment of Cheng Lingyun.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Cheng Lingyun, you take my picture now." Jiang Chen handed the camera to Cheng Lingyun.

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun stopped taking pictures.

"Shall we go explore other places?" Jiang Chen suggested.

The 63 Building also features an IMAX cinema, an aquarium, restaurants, and shops (bars, gyms, saunas, bowling alleys, business centers, and various specialty restaurants) and other entertainment facilities.

The IMAX theater is equivalent to a six-story building in height, with giant speakers and extraordinary stereoscopic sound effects. It also features simultaneous interpretation facilities in four languages ​​for foreigners.

In Jiang Chen's opinion, this is the best place for a date.

"Let's go to the aquarium," Cheng Lingyun said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

Soon, Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun arrived at the 63 Aquarium.

"Continue taking pictures?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

The 63 Aquarium exhibits over 2 marine creatures of more than 400 species, making it the largest indoor aquarium in China. It gathers all kinds of fish from the ocean and rivers, as well as all marine life living in tropical rainforests.

Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun walked, looked around, and took pictures.

The two spent two hours at the aquarium before leaving.

"Let's go to the hotel," Jiang Chen said.

"Mm." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun arrived at the Conrad Hotel.

The Conrad Seoul is a five-star hotel offering upscale accommodations and amenities. The hotel is conveniently located near several landmarks, including the Han River Bridge and the 63 Building, all within a 2-5 kilometer radius. On-site amenities include a swimming pool, meeting facilities, a buffet restaurant, a bar, and a library. Services include free parking, express check-in/check-out, and currency exchange.

Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun booked the presidential suite.

"Cheng Lingyun, are you scared?" Jiang Chen asked after glancing at Cheng Lingyun.

"No...no..." Jiang Chen had said before that the hotel room had been booked, and she thought it was a suite, but she didn't expect it to be a presidential suite.

Although the presidential suite has two bedrooms, if others knew that, there would be a lot of gossip.

"That's how it is when I travel for work."

Jiang Chen looked at Cheng Lingyun and said, "We're going to acquire the company, and there are many confidential matters to discuss. Even if we book two rooms, we'll discuss them in one room. Don't worry, we'll only discuss business in the living room or study. I won't go to your room."

“President Jiang, that’s not what I meant,” Cheng Lingyun said.

“No, you should have this thought. If I really wanted to do something and you didn’t think about it, it would be dangerous.” Jiang Chen’s tone was calm and gentle.

"I..." Cheng Lingyun didn't expect Jiang Chen to say that. In her heart, she felt that Jiang Chen was a true gentleman.

"Go and get some rest," Jiang Chen said before entering the master bedroom.

"it is good."

Seeing Jiang Chen enter the master bedroom, Cheng Lingyun couldn't help but pat her own face.

"I'm so damn stupid."

"How could you have such a thought?"

"That's President Jiang."

"It's President Jiang, who has never had any scandals."

"How could I possibly do such a thing?"

Cheng Lingyun felt that she shouldn't think of Jiang Chen that way.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Lingyun, having regained her senses, returned to her room.

The next day, Cheng Lingyun walked out of the bedroom and saw Jiang Chen on the sofa.

"President Jiang, you're up so early?" Cheng Lingyun was stunned when she saw Jiang Chen.

"Yes, I usually get up quite early," Jiang Chen replied, continuing to focus on his notebook. "Breakfast has been delivered and is in the dining room now."

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun glanced at the laptop as he walked past Jiang Chen.

What you see is a chart of the international financial market.

Seeing this, Cheng Lingyun sighed inwardly.

As expected of the president of Xingchen Group, he's already working hard early in the morning.

I misunderstood him yesterday.

That shouldn't have happened!

After Cheng Lingyun finished breakfast, she came to the living room.

"Cheng Lingyun, this is the information I compiled about the Koboa Group. Take a look at it first; we'll need it for our negotiations today," Jiang Chen said to Cheng Lingyun.

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun picked up the documents and started reading.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Finished reading?" Jiang Chen asked after seeing Cheng Lingyun put down the documents.

"Yes, I've finished reading it." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

“Let’s go to the Koboa Group.” Jiang Chen stood up.

After arriving at the Kopoa Group, the two continued yesterday's negotiations.

It's different from yesterday.

This time, Jiang Chen's tone during the negotiations was even more sharp.

This directly puts the shareholders of the Keboya Group under immense pressure.

Around noon, Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun walked out of the Keboya Group.

"President Jiang, the shareholders of Keboya Group want to talk tomorrow. Is it because they're about to give up?" Cheng Lingyun asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded: "I'll reveal my trump card during tomorrow's negotiations, and that will decide the outcome in one fell swoop. Let's go eat first."

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

An hour later, Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun walked out of a high-end restaurant.

"Cheng Lingyun, you're free this afternoon, you can do whatever you want," Jiang Chen said.

"On your own?" Cheng Lingyun was stunned.

“Yes, you’ll get a 100,000 yuan bonus for coming with me on this business trip, just like before in England,” Jiang Chen said.

"Then I thank you very much, President Jiang," Cheng Lingyun said.

"Go have fun," Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, is there something you need?" Cheng Lingyun asked.

“Yes, I’m going to find the Hong family from the Queens Group,” Jiang Chen said.

"Queens Group? A South Korean conglomerate?" Cheng Lingyun was taken aback.

"You know?" Jiang Chen looked at Cheng Lingyun.

“I did some research before coming to South Korea,” Cheng Lingyun said.

“I’ve made an appointment with the Hong family, so it’s inconvenient for you to come along,” Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." Cheng Lingyun nodded in understanding.

After Cheng Lingyun left, Jiang Chen went to a high-end coffee shop.

A moment later, a woman appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

“Miss Hong, please have a seat,” Jiang Chen said in Korean.

Jiang Chen and Hong Hairen spoke in Korean.

"Are you the president of Star Group?" The person who came was none other than Hong Hai-ren from "Queen of Tears." "Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"What do you want from me?" Hong Hairen asked.

"Ms. Hong, I would like to cooperate with you." Jiang Chen got straight to the point.

"Cooperation?" Hong Hairen was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, I want to cooperate with you. I can make you the head of the Hong family,” Jiang Chen said.

"You?" Hong Hairen said with utter disdain.

"Correct."

Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "Ms. Hong, I can give you my full support."

“You don’t need to cooperate with me,” Hong Hairen said.

"Don't you need to cooperate with me? Miss Hong, your brother died from drowning, so you've been deeply mired in guilt over his death. Your mother also blames you for her son's misfortune, making you feel guilty and remorseful. However, he didn't die while saving you. Someone else saved you." Jiang Chen handed Hong Hairen a document.

"What..." Hong Hairen was shocked and quickly opened the document to read it.

“I mean…” Jiang Chen continued.

next moment.

“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is…” Hong Hairen was in tears.

she cried.

She has carried too much on her shoulders over the years.

"Here you go." Jiang Chen handed the tissue to Hong Hairen.

"Thank you." Hong Hairen picked up a tissue to wipe away his tears.

"The message I just received demonstrates my sincerity in cooperating with you," Jiang Chen said.

"What do you want?" Hong Hairen asked.

“I want to cooperate with the Queens Group, yes, the Queens Group under your control,” Jiang Chen said.

"Why me?" Hong Hairen asked.

"Because of your Hong family, I only have eyes for you..."

Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Your grandfather is arrogant and complacent, three parts love-struck, three parts clueless, and three parts superstitious... He thinks he's charming enough that his mistress has served him for thirty years, not for money, fame, or profit. Your father is your grandfather's lackey. He knows your grandmother died of anger, but because his father built the empire, he obeys him without question. As for your mother, she's either superstitious or pretentious, hostile to her daughters but doting on her sons. And your brother is a typical foolish son of a wealthy landlord. As for your aunt, she's sharp-tongued but soft-hearted and weak in combat, all thanks to your father's protection and wealth. She doesn't work on the family business, relying on causing trouble for your father, which not only fails to achieve anything but also ruins her reputation to the point that she was beaten up by your father's mistress, and even your own father doesn't believe her. Although she has sound values ​​and loves you the most, she's a crazy woman who lacks cunning."

As they were talking, Jiang Chen took out another document and handed it to Hong Hairen.

This information is a hundred times more detailed than what Jiang Chen said.

After meeting Hong Hae-in in Seoul last time, Jiang Chen began investigating the Hong family's information. With the help of the Imperial Guards and his computer skills, the information he obtained was undoubtedly the most detailed.

Hong Hairen opened the documents and began to read them.

The more he looked at Hong Hairen, the uglier his expression became.

After a long while, Hong Hairen looked at Jiang Chen.

"President Jiang, I didn't expect you to know so much about the Hong family," Hong Hairen said expressionlessly.

“As we Chinese say, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’ If I want to cooperate with you, I naturally need to investigate thoroughly.” Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Moreover, for Miss Hong, with this information, you can gain control of the Hong family.”

"President Jiang, you don't mean to try and take over the Hong family, do you?" Hong Hairen said.

"Miss Hong."

Jiang Chen's voice rose slightly: "Do you think I need to hand over these materials to you if I want to take over the Hong family? I only need to use these materials to dismantle your Hong family's Queens Group."

"Is that so?" Hong Hairen said noncommittally.

"Of course, all I need to do is..." Jiang Chen recounted how Maurice and others controlled the Hong family and Queens Group in the drama, referring to the people behind Maurice and others as the Star Group.

“You…” Hong Hairen was terrified.

According to Jiang Chen's plan, the Hong family and Queens Group could indeed be controlled by Jiang Chen's Star Group.

“Miss Hong, do you know why I don’t do this? It’s because of you,” Jiang Chen said.

"Because of me?" Hong Hairen was stunned.

“Yes, I met you, Miss Hong, a few months ago and was immediately attracted by your appearance. So, I would like to get to know you better through a collaboration,” Jiang Chen said.

“You…” Hong Hairen was taken aback at first, but then he realized what Jiang Chen meant.

“It seems Miss Hong understands.” Hong Hairen’s wariness just now was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Chen. In order to achieve his goal, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think of Hong Hairen’s love-struck mind.

In the drama, she is the third generation of a chaebol family. She has great economic power, but due to emotional impulse, she chooses to marry the intern Baek Hyun-woo. This behavior pattern fits the character setting of someone who is not very bright but loves to fall in love.

Despite her outwardly strong personality, she exhibits remarkable patience in her marriage: when faced with her husband's proposal for divorce, she did not take decisive action but instead chose to endure it; after learning of her illness, she rekindled the marital relationship through a cancer-related plot, demonstrating the contradictory nature of emotional dependence and passive coping.

At the same time, Hong Hai-ren easily made a marriage decision based on a strawberry popsicle, demonstrating the irrational nature of emotional decision-making.

All of these things indicate that Hong Hai-ren's romantic mindset is quite serious.

Jiang Chen now has an idea to take advantage of Hong Hai Ren's romantic nature.

Although Hong Hae-in is Korean and I never intended for her to join the Kang family, I could still have my way with her if necessary.

“You, I…” Hong Hairen was stunned and speechless, in a daze.

“Ms. Hong, I know this collaboration is of great importance, and you can consider it. However, I believe that if you can take charge of the Hong family, it might become a global family under your leadership.” Hong Hairen is both romantic and capable of running a successful business, which is another reason why Jiang Chen is collaborating with her.

Jiang Chen took out a business card and handed it to Hong Hairen: "Ms. Hong, call me when you've made up your mind."

“Okay.” Hong Hairen did not refuse.

All she wants right now is to calm down.

"Then I'll wait for Miss Hong's call." Jiang Chen said, then stood up and left.

Soon, Jiang Chen left the coffee shop.

Jiang Chen was not worried about what would happen to Hong Hairen.

Even if Hong Hairen disagrees, he has plenty of ways to deal with it.

"I wonder where Cheng Lingyun is now..."

Jiang Chen walked forward while thinking.

However, just as Jiang Chen reached an intersection, he bumped into someone.

"Ayo (Korean)..."

A cry of surprise rang out.

"Be careful."

Jiang Chen quickly reached out and grabbed him, while simultaneously looking closely.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a high-level spirit fish pond renovation blueprint.]

"High-grade spirit fish pond renovation plan?"

This is the twelfth time I've checked in.

According to the system introduction, the advanced spirit fish pond renovation blueprint transforms an existing fish pond into a spirit fish pond. The basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint can renovate ten acres of spirit fish pond. The intermediate spirit fish pond renovation blueprint is an upgraded version of the basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint, which can renovate one hundred acres of spirit fish pond.

The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is an upgraded version of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and can renovate 1,000 acres of spirit fish ponds.

"Therefore, the difference between the advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan and the low-level and intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plans is the number of acres to be renovated."

"The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is ten times that of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and one hundred times that of the low-level spirit fish pond renovation plan."

"This sign-in reward is really good."

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

Choi Ae-ra, a character in Fight for My Way.

In the drama, she dreams of becoming a news anchor, but in reality, she works as a sales clerk at a shopping mall information desk. Despite lacking education, family background, experience, and a man, after meeting him, everyone wants to be on her side, and no enemy can resist her. From childhood, she admires Zhang Fei more than Cinderella, is more suited to the stage than the information desk, and is more suited to a provocative, on-the-spot persona than a quiet one. She doesn't understand the seductive charm of a vixen, and possesses only a fiery temper rather than pretentious behavior.

"Third Rate Road?"

"I didn't expect it to be this drama. It seems that part of the plot started in 17, which is this year."

"Choi Ae-ra... is thirty years old this year."

In the drama, Choi Ae-ra has dreamed of becoming a news anchor since she was a child. Even when she was asleep, she would fantasize about sitting on the anchor's desk one day. Therefore, she practiced very hard. However, she was unlucky. Every time she auditioned, she was either rejected or replaced by someone else. As a result, at the age of thirty, she could only work as a greeter in a shopping mall, shouting the same words day after day: "Welcome."

Choi Ae-ra bought her boyfriend a bicycle, but when she went to the exam center, she discovered he was cheating on her with an older woman who sold radish greens, kimchi, and barley rice. This woman was actually a wealthy commoner, and her boyfriend was only with her for her money. Choi Ae-ra couldn't ride a bicycle, so she rode on the one the woman had bought for her boyfriend, almost hitting Go Dong-man on the way. Choi Ae-ra then told Go Dong-man about her boyfriend's infidelity.

Later, while attending a wedding, Choi Ae-ra unwittingly got involved in a one-million-dollar bet. After being told about it by one of the men, she smashed the car windows of three other men, resulting in her being slapped. Ko Dong-man happened to arrive and injured the men. Everyone was taken to the police station.

Go Dong-man's ex-girlfriend got divorced and kept calling him, but he wouldn't answer. So she came to his door. Go Dong-man and Choi Ae-ra lived across the hall from each other. When Choi Ae-ra saw the ex-girlfriend coming to see Go Dong-man, she told her to stop bothering him. Go Dong-man went out and saw the ex-girlfriend at the door, and he told her not to come looking for him anymore.

In order to compete against Kim Tak-soo, Go Dong-man accepted Kim Tak-soo's suggestion to participate in the debut competition. However, he did not expect to fall into someone's trap. His opponent was a judo champion from a family with many generations of members. Go Dong-man lost the match and was hospitalized. Choi Ae-ra cried by his bedside, feeling sorry for him.

Choi Ae-ra failed her job interview and went to find Ko Dong-man, who was performing Taekwondo in Daecheon. Since the host couldn't make it, Choi Ae-ra took over as the host. Choi Ae-ra and Ko Dong-man talked on the beach, and Choi Ae-ra asked Ko Dong-man if they were having an ambiguous relationship.

She develops feelings for Go Dong-man as they grow up together, and later, while working at a restaurant, she showcases her hosting skills through live streaming. At the end of the series, she accepts Go Dong-man's marriage proposal at the boxing ring.

"I never expected to run into Choi Ae-ra here..."

"This is truly unexpected."

Looking at Cui Aila, whom he was holding in his arms, Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

at this time.

Choi Ae-ra's voice rang out: "You can let me go now..."
