Chapter 1531 "Within and Outside of Marriage" - Tian Qiuzi

Introduction to Jurisprudence

Cheng Lingyun's face darkened slightly upon seeing the book title: "Read it now?"

“Yes, you should study it too. You need to read it carefully and understand its meaning.” Jiang Chen nodded.

"I understand." Cheng Lingyun realized at this moment that she was still a graduate student studying under Jiang Chen.

"Hmm." Jiang Chen took out a book and prepared to read it as well.

"The Book of Changes?" Cheng Lingyun was somewhat surprised to see the title of the book in Jiang Chen's hand.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "This Book of Changes looks interesting."

Jiang Chen's purpose in studying the Book of Changes was also to create better cultivation methods.

However, these things cannot be told to Cheng Lingyun.

Cheng Lingyun didn't understand, but she didn't ask any further questions.

The plane arrived in Shanghai very quickly.

Jiang Chen and Cheng Lingyun walked out of the airport.

"Cheng Lingyun, your accommodation has been arranged by the company. You can go back first. Okay, I'll give you three days off. You can go back to work in three days to work on the project related to the acquisition of the Keboya Group," Jiang Chen said to Cheng Lingyun.

"Don't I need to go to the company now?" Cheng Lingyun asked.

"No need, I'll take care of things at the Coboa Group," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Cheng Lingyun nodded.

After parting ways with Cheng Lingyun, Jiang Chen went to Xingchen Group.

Just as Jiang Chen arrived at the president's office of Xingchen Group, Li Qian walked in carrying a large stack of documents.

"Our CEO Jiang has finally decided to come back to the company," Li Qian said sarcastically.

“Secretary Li, is this how you treat your boss? Believe me or not, I’ll dock your bonus,” Jiang Chen said.

"You dare?" Li Qian's eyes widened.

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Jiang Chen retorted.

“Uh…” Li Qian fell silent.

Xingchen Group belongs to Jiang Chen.

At Xingchen Group, Jiang Chen can fire whoever he wants.

Labor contract? With Xingchen Group's legal department involved, no one can take advantage of us.

What's more, Jiang Chen is now saying he'll deduct her bonus.

Isn't this just a matter of Jiang Chen saying a word?

"Secretary Li, I just arrived at the company and you're already here. What, you're so eager to see me?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Nonsense, I don't want to see you." Li Qian placed the documents in her hand on the desk: "I just brought some work that needs your attention."

"Is that all?" Jiang Chen grasped Li Qian's hand, which she was trying to pull away.

"What are you doing?" Li Qian was startled.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen looked at Li Qian with a smile.

While in South Korea, he didn't do anything because he wanted to appear as a gentleman in front of Cheng Lingyun. Although he met quite a few female leads in South Korea, he only saw them briefly, except for Hong Hai-ren.

"How should I know? President Jiang, this is an office, please don't do anything reckless," Li Qian said in a low voice.

"So, you mean I can do whatever I want as long as it's not in the office?" Jiang Chen found Li Qian's expression somewhat amusing. This little fox has really grown up.

"I didn't say that." Li Qian struggled to free her hand from Jiang Chen's grasp.

Jiang Chen didn't continue, but sat down in his office chair: "Give me a report on the company's situation."

From the time he went to Hangzhou, Jiang Chen had been away from Shanghai for more than a month.

Although I also want to control the company remotely, now that I'm back, I still need to listen to some work reports.

"it is good."

Li Qian composed herself and began to report.

Jiang Chen listened to Li Qian's report while handling his work.

At this time, Jiang Chen was able to handle his work faster due to the improvement in his mental strength.

So much so that Li Qian, who was giving her work report, was stunned and forgot to report on her work.

"Why did you stop?" Jiang Chen glanced at Li Qian.

"President Jiang, are you... are you really handling work?" Li Qian asked hesitantly.

“The company is my foundation. Do you think I would joke about this?” Jiang Chen retorted.

“Uh…” Li Qian fell silent.

She was a veteran who had been with Jiang Chen since the company's inception, so she naturally understood the importance of Xingchen Group to Jiang Chen and knew that Jiang Chen would never joke about the company.

But was Jiang Chen really handling work just now?
"Why don't you take a look?" Jiang Chen handed Li Qian a processed document.

Li Qian couldn't wait to open it and start reading.

Upon seeing it, Li Qian was stunned.

Jiang Chen processed this document in less than a minute, but the content was very clear.

It can be said that it is similar to the situation Jiang Chen handled before.

Clear and distinct.

Therefore, this is not because Jiang Chen is handling the work haphazardly, but because Jiang Chen is working faster.

However, Li Qian felt no joy at this; instead, she felt fear.

Jiang Chen is now able to handle his work much faster.

Is this a good thing?
of course not.

Jiang Chen is the boss, and he has a general grasp of the direction. The rest of the trivial matters are left to them to handle.

Therefore, this also means that their work pressure has increased.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked while continuing to process the documents.

"N-nothing..." Li Qian came back to her senses.

"Then continue with the work report," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay," Li Qian replied, and continued her work report.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Qian, having finished her work report, left the office carrying a large stack of documents.

Nie Xingchen arrived shortly after Li Qian left.

"President Jiang, did you reprimand Li Qian?" Nie Xingchen asked as soon as he entered the office.

"Scolded? How did I scold her?" Jiang Chen was a little confused. Did Li Qian complain about him? But that was impossible. After all, Li Qian didn't know about his relationship with Nie Xingchen, and even if Li Qian and Nie Xingchen were close, they were at most friends now.

"Li Qian looked so angry, you really didn't do anything to her?" Nie Xingchen knew what kind of person Jiang Chen was. With a woman like Li Qian around, how could he not do anything?
However, on the other hand, the longer one spends with Jiang Chen, the more one is influenced by Nie Xingchen's charm and abilities. Therefore, when looking for a boyfriend, one can't help but compare them to Jiang Chen.

This is also why there are more and more single women of advanced age in Xingchen Group.

"Really, no, I have so much work to do right now, how could I possibly do anything? However, Li Qian was shocked by my work speed," Jiang Chen said.

"You were scared by the speed of your work? What do you mean?" Nie Xingchen asked.

Jiang Chen briefly explained the situation.

“This is a problem, Mr. Jiang. I think you should control yourself, otherwise people will definitely think of you as a monster,” Nie Xingchen said.

"..." Jiang Chen.

“Actually, it’s not just you, it’s the same for us, but we have to control ourselves in front of others.” Nie Xingchen naturally understood the reason, knowing that if they revealed too much at once, they would definitely be seen as monsters.

“I understand,” Jiang Chen said.

"So, you did this on purpose? You're planning to take Li Qian down?" Nie Xingchen suddenly realized.

"It won't be that fast, no rush." ​​Jiang Chen is currently in a calm state of mind.

Nie Xingchen rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, annoyed.

Jiang Chen did not deny it, which was tantamount to admitting it.

"Xingchen, you're here to report on your work, right?" Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"Yes, there's been a lot going on at the company lately..." Upon hearing this, Nie Xingchen stopped gossiping and began to report on her work.

Well, at the company, business is business.

……

at dusk.

"Xi Xi."

Jiang Chen approached Dai Xixi and said, "It's been over a month since I last saw you. You're so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize you."

"No way."

Under Jiang Chen's piercing gaze, Dai Xixi blushed slightly. "I'm telling the truth. Come on, let me take a good look." Jiang Chen stepped forward and put his arm around Dai Xixi's waist.

"No, it wouldn't be good if someone saw us," Dai Xixi said.

"What's wrong with that? You're my girlfriend." Although Dai Xixi didn't know he had other girlfriends, he said whatever he wanted to Dai Xixi.

Dai Xixi snorted.

"Xixi, have you gained weight?" Jiang Chen asked Dai Xixi in her ear.

"Nonsense, I'm not fat." For a woman, weight is a taboo subject, so Dai Xixi was dissatisfied after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

"No? I need to check," Jiang Chen said.

"Check? How do you check?" Dai Xixi asked.

“Naturally, it will involve checking every part of you,” Jiang Chen said.

“Inspect every place…” Dai Xixi couldn’t finish her sentence.

At that moment, Dai Xixi understood Jiang Chen's meaning.

"You're so mean." Dai Xixi couldn't help but pinch Jiang Chen's waist.

"Then will you let me be bad?" Jiang Chen whispered.

“No.” Dai Xixi said without hesitation.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen led Dai Xixi forward: "Let's go eat first, and then... hehe..."

"I need to go back in a bit," Dai Xixi said.

"How could you be so heartless?" Although Jiang Chen hadn't expected to sleep with Dai Xixi today, he was still somewhat disappointed upon hearing Dai Xixi's words.

"Hmph, are you dissatisfied?" Dai Xixi snorted, then pointed to the restaurant in front and said, "Jiang Chen, let's go eat over there?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

However, after walking for only a few minutes, Jiang Chen saw a woman.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained a Level 1 Secret Realm.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,670 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, a high-grade low-level spirit field modification blueprint, and a high-grade spirit fish pond modification blueprint.]

"A Level One Secret Realm?"

"This is the third time I've checked in and obtained a Level 1 Secret Realm."

"According to the system introduction, this level of secret realm is the smallest secret realm."

"A level one secret realm can only be entered by those under one hundred years old and whose cultivation is below the Martial God Realm."

"A level one secret realm spans a thousand miles and opens once every ten years, each opening lasting for one month."

"The time flow rate in a Level 1 secret realm is twice that of the outside world."

"This means that the Level 1 Secret Realm is open for one month, and there are two months inside the Level 1 Secret Realm."

"This sign-in reward is great!"

"Starting with Yi Yao, then Han Yichen, Mao Seji, Cui Aila, Jiang Muyan, Yin Mingzhu, Jiang Renhe, Wen Dongyin, Cui Huicheng, and now Tian Qiuzi, we've signed on to ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points and a 100-cubic-meter expansion of the space ring are basic special rewards."

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

"This is the thirteenth 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."

"High-grade spirit fish pond renovation plan?"

This is the thirteenth 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.

Tian Qiuzi, a character in "Inside and Outside Marriage".

In the drama, she plays an investment banker. Financially independent, she owns three properties and has investments, thriving in the industry with strong professional skills and decision-making abilities. However, in matters of the heart, she becomes obsessively in love with a married man, even devoting herself entirely to this relationship. To be with Hu Cheng, she resorts to various means, attempting to force the wife out and seize her position. This obsessive nature leads her further and further down the wrong path in her relationship.

"The plot of 'Marriage Inside and Outside' begins in 24."

"It's 17 now, and there are still seven years until the story begins."

"Tai Akiko was twenty-eight years old at the beginning of the story..."

"Logically speaking, he's only twenty-one years old. Why is he here? Shouldn't he be in college?"

In the drama, Tian Qiuzi was raised by her grandmother. Her parents did not care about her, and no matter how good her grades were, she did not receive praise from her parents. She was aloof and beautiful, but her upbringing brought her only a little warmth. She ignored her younger sister who was always trying to be nice to her and even took advantage of her sister's trust.

Tian Qiuzi was one of Hu Cheng's many... lovers. Young and beautiful, she was filled with admiration and affection for Hu Cheng. However, Hu Cheng only treated her casually, never truly caring. When Tian Qiuzi discovered she was pregnant, she was overjoyed, thinking she could use this to bind Hu Cheng's heart, but little did she know that this was only the beginning of her tragedy.

When Hu Cheng learned that Tian Qiuzi was pregnant, he showed no joy; instead, he revealed his cold-hearted side. He demanded that Tian Qiuzi abort the child and give her money as compensation. Tian Qiuzi was heartbroken; she finally understood that she was nothing more than a plaything in Hu Cheng's eyes.

Driven by anger and despair, Tian Qiuzi decided to take revenge. Using her knowledge of Hu Cheng, she devised a meticulously planned act of retribution.

Ultimately, she chose to join forces with Ning Yue to fight against Hu Cheng. Together, they exposed Hu Cheng's true colors, ruining his reputation. At the end of the series, although Tian Qiuzi lost Hu Cheng's favor and support, she regained her dignity and confidence. She realized that her worth didn't solely depend on her relationship with Hu Cheng, but on her own abilities and efforts. Therefore, she decided to start her life anew and strive for her dreams and happiness.

"Tian Qiuzi is an economically independent woman with her own career and property. The reason she chose to become Hu Cheng's mistress was not simply for money, but because of her admiration for Hu Cheng and her ambition to rise in status."

"In short, she is someone who admires strength."

"However, women all admire strength."

"Tian Qiuzi's thoughts are quite normal."

"In the drama, Tian Qiuzi desires to prove her value and existence through Hu Cheng, and tries to take revenge on her father and stepmother through her relationship with Hu Cheng."

"Yes, at the beginning of the story, Tian Qiuzi is a project manager at Ruixin Investment Bank."

"I don't think I've ever heard of Ruixin Investment Banking Company."

"So, seven years before the story began, Ruixin Investment Bank might still have been a small company?"

Jiang Chen did not look down on Tian Qiuzi's actions.

The more outstanding a woman is, the more she admires strength.

Seeing Tian Qiuzi reminded Jiang Chen of Yu Shishi, who is currently studying at the Yanjing Academy of Arts.

"What's wrong?" Dai Xixi suddenly asked.

"Nothing, I was thinking about something." Jiang Chen snapped out of his thoughts.

"Thinking about something? What are you thinking about?" Dai Xixi asked.

"I'm thinking about how to keep you here later," Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

"You're dreaming." Dai Xixi snorted and quickened her pace forward.

Jiang Chen smiled and followed Dai Xixi.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Chen and Dai Xixi did not go to a private room, but instead found a suitable place to sit down.

“I’ve been to this restaurant once this month, and the food was pretty good,” Dai Xixi said to Jiang Chen after ordering.

"Then I'll have to give it a good try," Jiang Chen said.

"I promise I won't let you down." Dai Xixi said, then looked at Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, where have you been all this time? Were you avoiding me?"

“How could that be? I just got back from South Korea today,” Jiang Chen said.

"South Korea?" Dai Xixi was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, this is something I bought for you from South Korea.” Jiang Chen took out a box and handed it to Dai Xixi.

"What is this?" Dai Xixi asked.

"A seashell gem box," Jiang Chen said.

Shell jewelry boxes are a traditional Korean craft, decorated with seashells and crafted using traditional techniques, making them an excellent gift choice. These jewelry boxes are commonly found in bustling areas like Namdaemun Market in Seoul, South Korea. Beyond jewelry boxes, there are also name card holders, small mirrors, and many other exquisite and elegant options.

"A seashell gem box?" Dai Xixi opened the box and saw the seashell gem box inside.

"Do you like it?" Jiang Chen asked Dai Xixi with a smile.
