Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1534 "Heartbeat" - Tian Xin and Hao Meili
"Oh? What's the problem?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Lu family has connections with some powerful families in the northeast of the Eastern Continent. They also have ties with forces on the Tianqing Continent." Mu Tong recounted the information he knew, and concluded, "I have already arranged for people to conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Take action immediately if there's any clue." Jiang Chen felt that the Lu family was quite powerful, and if the Jiang family wanted to control the Lu family, they needed to eliminate those unstable factors.

"Okay." Mu Tong nodded.

Next, Jiang Chen asked about other information.

The Jiang family is doing very well in the spirit world right now, but it still needs time to develop.

Of course, this is because the Jiang family hasn't invested much resources in the spirit realm.

Including Jiang Chen, the Jiang family members all primarily focus on cultivation.

Mutong gave a detailed report.

"How are things going with Zuo Shuangtao, Gu Pan, and Lü Hanzhi?" Jiang Chen asked.

In Jiang Chen's view, Zuo Shuangtao, Gu Pan, and Lü Hanzhi were all people who could become members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Chen made his decision, he arranged for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to make contact with them.

"We've already started making contact, but the results aren't very good," Mu Tong said.

"Then let's think of a way." Jiang Chen thought of the situation of the three women in the drama: Zuo Shuangtao, Gu Pan, and Lü Hanzhi.

"Using extraordinary means?" Mu Tong asked.

"No need," Jiang Chen shook his head.

In Jiang Chen's view, Zuo Shuangtao, Gu Pan, and Lü Hanzhi were all capable of becoming high-ranking members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so there was no need to resort to extreme measures.

"Understood." Mu Tong nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, Wenxin arrived.

Wen Xin is the president of Jiang's Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Ji Group.

"Master of the house."

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Wen Xin bowed.

"Have a seat," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Wen Xin nodded.

Jiang Chen asked Wen Xin about the situation of Jiang's Trading Company.

Wen Xin answered all her questions and explained the situation of Jiang's Trading Company.

Currently, Jiang's Trading Company mainly enjoys goods from other worlds, while the money from the sales is used to purchase cultivation resources in the spirit world, or exchanged for gold and silver.

"It seems our decision was right."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Arrange for people to explore the mineral resources of the spirit realm, and then leak the information."

"Does President Jiang intend to use other forces to mine these minerals?" Mu Tong asked.

“Yes, as long as they mine it, it will eventually fall into our hands.” Jiang Chen nodded and repeated his statement.

As long as the Jiang family's power spreads from Shengdu to the surrounding areas, the wealth and resources of the spirit world will continuously flow into the Jiang family.

"Of course, this refers to general mineral resources."

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "We must keep those rare jade veins, rare metal veins, and even spiritual veins in our own hands."

"The Spirit Realm has spiritual veins?" Mu Tong exclaimed in surprise.

“I’m not sure, but there are martial artists in the Spirit Realm, and spirit stones occasionally appear there. Where there are spirit stones, there are spirit veins, so I guess the Spirit Realm has spirit veins,” Jiang Chen said.

“I will arrange for someone to investigate,” Mu Tong said.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

……

First World, Shanghai, International Garden.

"Isn't that enough?" Hua Duoduo stopped Jiang Chen.

"How could that be? We've only done it a few times." Jiang Chen looked at Hua Duoduo with a smile.

After leaving the Spirit Realm today, Jiang Chen only went to the company to take care of some things before coming to Hua Duoduo's house. Well, it had been a long time since he'd spent time with Hua Duoduo, and since she happened to be in Shanghai today, they naturally wanted to have a deep conversation.

"You..." Hua Duoduo huffed and puffed.

"Don't you like it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I have to go to work tomorrow," Hua Duoduo said, looking at Jiang Chen with a pleading expression.

She never expected Jiang Chen to have so much energy.

“At worst, I can take a day off. You’re the boss, no one will care,” Jiang Chen said with a smile. “And I haven’t spent much time with you in a long time, so today is a rare opportunity.”

"You might as well find another girlfriend." At this moment, Hua Duoduo thought it was a good thing that Jiang Chen had another girlfriend.

"Shall we go together?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Together? What do you mean, together?" Hua Duoduo asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen looked at Hua Duoduo with a half-smile.

"I, how could I..." At this point, Hua Duoduo realized, "You, you, how could you have such a thought?"

"What's so strange about that? You alone couldn't satisfy me, so I had to have several people work together," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Flowers bloom.

“I could never agree to that,” Hua Duoduo said.

"Why not?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What else could it be?" Hua Duoduo asked rhetorically.

“I’ve said before that I won’t let you follow me without a name or status. I not only want you to meet and get to know each other, but I also want you to live together,” Jiang Chen said.

"Huh... living together?" Hua Duoduo was dumbfounded.

Jiang Chen does indeed want three wives and four concubines.

But in modern society, who would do that? Who would dare to do that?

"Is there a problem? Shouldn't a family be together?" Jiang Chen asked.

"We are... a family?" Hua Duoduo asked, somewhat taken aback.

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Chen retorted.

"No, that's not it. We're just boyfriend and girlfriend at most," Hua Duoduo said.

However, despite saying that, Hua Duoduo felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

The relationship between her and Jiang Chen can be described as complicated.

Or rather, Jiang Chen took advantage of the situation.

But deep down it doesn't seem to dislike it.

"So what? Even if we're just boyfriend and girlfriend, I won't let you go. Because with me, there's never a possibility of breaking up, and I will absolutely not give you the chance to find another boyfriend." Jiang Chen stated his plan without hesitation.

“You can’t control me,” Hua Duoduo said.

"Then I'll make sure you can't get up," Jiang Chen said.

"What?" Hua Duoduo was slightly taken aback, then realized what she meant, feeling both ashamed, angry, and annoyed: "How could you do this?"

"Don't you like it?" Jiang Chen chuckled softly.

"I……"

Hua Duoduo wanted to say something, but she felt Jiang Chen's offensive.

In an instant, Hua Duoduo was speechless.

An hour later, after Hua Duoduo had fallen asleep, Jiang Chen left the International Garden.

"We'll be going to the Second World in about two weeks."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Jiang Chen felt that this trip to the Second World would allow him to explore a new continent.

Thinking of the female leads he had never met, Jiang Chen felt a shameful flutter in his heart.

After all, he's the kind of person who likes new things but doesn't dislike the old.

If one doesn't like new things, how can one be someone who likes new things but doesn't dislike old things?

"It's time to go back."

Jiang Chen drove slowly towards East Suburb No. 1.

Just then, a phone call came in.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen took out his phone and looked at it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen walked into a teahouse.

"Mr. Bai."

Jiang Chen walked into a private room and his gaze fell on Bai Xue.

Bai Xue is the Bai Xue from the song "Long Time No See".

Last year, Jiang Chen, Bai Xue, and Bai Chengzhan jointly established Xuanheng Technology, a professional manufacturer of TFT-LCD panels.

However, after that, Jiang Chen only met Bai Xue once more.

"President Jiang, please sit down." Bai Xue stood up.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jiang Chen asked Bai Xue, "President Bai, what brings you here?" "I've discovered that He Yan is investigating Hua Duoduo," Bai Xue replied.

"Investigate Hua Duoduo? He Yan still hasn't given up?" Jiang Chen sneered.

"Mr. Jiang, what about over there?" Bai Xue hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Chen.

"I just came out of Hua Duoduo's room," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Snow White.

Although Jiang Chen didn't say much, Bai Xue understood what he meant.

However, Bai Xue did not expect Jiang Chen to be so fast, winning over Hua Duoduo in just a few months.

However, at this moment, Bai Xue's feelings were very complicated.

He didn't seem too happy to know that Hua Duoduo had become Jiang Chen's woman.

"President Bai, no matter what He Yan is like, I'm afraid he feels the same way about you..." Jiang Chen didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: "President Bai, what are your thoughts?"

"I..." Bai Xue fell silent.

"President Bai, you should also think about yourself. After all, you're not young anymore." When he won over Hua Duoduo, Jiang Chen had also thought about winning over Bai Xue and then showing off in front of He Yan.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll handle this myself," Bai Xue said.

"What else is on your agenda today, Mr. Bai?" Jiang Chen asked.

“That’s all,” Bai Xue said.

"Then let's have a chat," Jiang Chen said.

“Okay,” Bai Xue said.

At that moment, Jiang Chen started a conversation with Bai Xue.

Jiang Chen is a very talkative person, and he quickly struck up a conversation with Bai Xue.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen said with a smile, "President Bai, if you and He Yan get a divorce, let me know."

"Ah..." Bai Xue looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

“I think there’s a high chance you two will get divorced. Maybe after you get divorced, I can go and brag to He Yan,” Jiang Chen said.

"What do you mean?" Bai Xue asked.

"I want to appear before He Yan with you and Hua Duoduo, and then..." Jiang Chen didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"..." Snow White.

"President Jiang, I never expected you to be this kind of person," Bai Xue couldn't help but say.

"What's wrong with that? Both Hua Duoduo and you were let down by He Yan. You're not even as good as someone like me who has women on both sides," Jiang Chen said.

"So, Mr. Jiang, you admit that you have quite a few women?" Bai Xue asked.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Jiang Chen asked in return.

"..." Snow White.

Is this okay?
This is a big problem.

Although she knew that with Jiang Chen's status, it was normal for him to have seven or eight women around him.

Among the people she met, there were many like that.

But those people are very reserved.

Unlike Jiang Chen, who spoke openly and honestly.

"You know about Hua Duoduo too?" Bai Xue asked.

"know."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I told her that before I even started pursuing her."

"Aren't you afraid she'll reject you?" Bai Xue asked.

"Why be afraid? As long as you're willing, Hua Duoduo will definitely fall in love with me," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Snow White.

"President Jiang is really confident," Bai Xue said.

“I do have the ability.” Jiang Chen smiled and said, “If He Yan had my ability, you wouldn’t be so heartbroken right now.”

"..." Bai Xue was stunned upon hearing this.

“If He Yan were like President Jiang, I wouldn’t be with him,” Bai Xue said.

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

After chatting for a while, the two left the private room and prepared to leave the teahouse.

However, as Jiang Chen and Bai Xue walked out of the teahouse, a group of people walked in from outside.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen glanced at it.

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 Eternal Vermilion Fruits.]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten ancient Poria cocos plants.]

"Ten Vermilion Fruits of Ten Thousand Years?"

"This is the twelfth time I've checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to quickly advance to the Martial Emperor Realm. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180. It will be a unique treasure for the Jiang family in the future."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"Ten ancient Poria cocos plants?"

"This is the nineteenth time I've checked in and received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos."

"I received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos twice as a special reward before. After that, I received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in with Du Bingyan, Zhu Sha, Zhu Yunqiao, Lan Qianyi, Qian An'an, Amanda and others. I received a thousand when I advanced to the Celestial Clan. I didn't expect to receive ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in again now."

"Due to alchemy and other reasons, a lot of the ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos has been used up recently. There are only 1,400 plants left in the system space. It's not bad to be able to get ten ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in now."

"However, once the Jiang family's medicinal garden is fully developed, there will be no need to worry about these ancient medicinal herbs."

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

Tian Xin is a character in the movie "Fall in Love Like a Star".

In the drama, she plays Tian Xin, the manager of superstar Su Xingyu. She met Su Xingyu before he became famous and later became his manager by chance. She helps Su Xingyu realize his dreams step by step, and the two fall in love, enacting a "forbidden love" in the entertainment industry. Because Xingyu's identity cannot be made public, their relationship also undergoes various tests and hardships from reality.

Hao Meili is a character in the movie "Fall in Love Like a Star".

In the drama, she plays Hao Meili, a rising star. She is Su Xingyu's junior colleague at the same company, has a hot figure, and is deeply loved by the boss, openly having a crush on Su Xingyu.

"Tian Xin and Hao Meili from the movie 'Fall in Love Like a Star'?"

"I saw Sister Mei from 'Fall in Love Like a Star' on Hengxing Tianxia before, and I never expected to see them now."

In the drama, Su Xingyu is an unknown actor, whose goal is to become a superstar. His girlfriend, Tian Xin, is a junior assistant. The two fall in love at a barbecue. Despite their poverty, they live happily. Later, Su Xingyu goes abroad, determined to become a singer. He works part-time while studying, maintaining daily contact with Tian Xin by phone. Tian Xin feels this is hindering Su Xingyu's career and decides to break up with him. Heartbroken, Su Xingyu dedicates himself to his career and eventually becomes a superstar.

Five years after their breakup, two low-key individuals, now successful in their careers, met again. Tian Xin surprisingly became Su Xingyu's manager. The reason? Su Xingyu's previous manager wanted him to take on television roles, but he only wanted to focus on his music and felt the manager was overly focused on his looks, neglecting his talent. So the manager said, "Go ahead and change managers if you dare!" Coincidentally, it was Tian Xin's first day at work, and Su Xingyu made her his manager, actually as revenge. Subsequently, although Su Xingyu often made things difficult for her, through their interactions, they came to understand Tian Xin's previous good intentions.

Later, the company signed a new young heartthrob, Gao Mang, who quickly replaced Su Xingyu as their dream lover. To help Su Xingyu, Tian Xin desperately tried to create chance encounters with Song Ming, a very important client, but Song Ming ignored her. The two went to a bar to cheer themselves up. Su Xingyu, confident he wouldn't be recognized, put on a great show, but Song Ming happened to be sitting in the audience. Through his efforts, Su Xingyu finally convinced Song Ming to produce an album for him.

The two reconciled, but were photographed by paparazzi. Later, for Su Xingyu's future, they couldn't publicly acknowledge their feelings for each other, so Tian Xin packed her bags and left, disappearing again. Finally, Su Xingyu publicly confessed his love to Tian Xin at a live awards ceremony, and Tian Xin, sitting in the audience, was moved to tears. The two met again outside the building, and this time, they finally got together.

"As for Hao Meili..."

Hao Meili, a rising star heavily promoted by her agency, possesses a striking contrast between her fiery appearance and innocent personality. In the drama, she frequently shows affection for Su Xingyu, and her naive and endearing pursuit becomes a crucial catalyst for the romantic development between Su Xingyu and Tian Xin.

However, it must be said that Hao Meili does have a great figure.

"I wonder which agency Tian Xin, Hao Meili and Su Xingyu belong to."

Jiang Chen spotted Su Xingyu in the middle of the group.

In the drama, he is a dreamer who cares less about celebrity status and more about pursuing his musical dreams. He had a musical dream since childhood and went abroad to study, only to be dumped. After returning to China, he achieved success and became a top male star. Later, he unexpectedly reunited with Tian Xin, and with her help, his career advanced further, while also embarking on an irresistible love story.

"Su Xingyu is really riding high right now."

"However, Tian Xin and Hao Meili might be able to..."

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

"Does President Jiang know this celebrity?" Bai Xue's voice rang out from the side.

“I’ve seen Su Xingyu online. Mr. Bai, you know him too?” Jiang Chen said.

“He was previously the spokesperson for the Bai Group,” Bai Xue replied.

"I see."

Jiang Chen understood, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After chatting with Bai Xue for a few minutes, he left the teahouse.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll be leaving now," Bai Xue said to Jiang Chen.

"Do you want me to take you back?" Seeing that Bai Xue was about to refuse, Jiang Chen said, "Maybe it can provoke He Yan."

"Mr. Jiang, what do you want to do?" Bai Xue looked at Jiang Chen warily.
