Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1541 Baek Soo-joo is coming, Seok-young's doubts
"These insectoids aren't true insectoids, but insect exorcists. But you're right. Even if the insectoid treasure only contains gold and silver, it's still useful to us."

Jiang Chen gave Mu Tong a very approving look, and then said, "However, we don't need to get involved in this matter. Instead, we should guide those insectoids to find the treasure."

Knowing that the so-called Zerg were actually insect exorcists, Jiang Chen was actually quite disappointed.

After all, we will encounter the real Zerg in the Fourth World, or even the Fifth World in the future.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" Mu Tong understood.

“Yes, we don’t have the energy to do those things, nor is it necessary to waste time on those gold and silver treasures. So, using others to open the Zerg treasure is the best option. However, we should still be careful with these insect-controlling families,” Jiang Chen said.

In "Insect Totem", the insect race is divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each with unique abilities.

The Wood element (Pan Jun) uses silver needles as weapons and is skilled in medical treatment, but he is controversial in the early stages due to his charlatanism.

The Water Element (Shi Miaomiao) controls poisonous insects and possesses the ability to disguise herself, but the function of her secret treasure has plot holes.

Fire type (Ouyang Yanying/Yun), controls birds and beasts through a short flute, and has outstanding abilities.

Jin (Duan Xiao'e) is skilled in mechanical arts and proficient in the layout of secret passages, similar to the "Tomb Raiders" among the "Five Gates".

Earth element (Zi Wu): Those with a special constitution are immune to all poisons and are often used as experimental subjects, but their fates are tragic.

However, Jiang Chen felt that the presence of both the insect exorcist family and the tomb raiders in this spirit realm might create a unique new chapter.

"it is good."

This was a matter for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so Mu Tong naturally agreed.

"Master, the Bai family wants to send Bai Xiuzhu over," Feng Xin'er said.

"It seems Bai Xiongqi's probing continues." Jiang Chen's gaze was meaningful.

"That……"

"Let Bai Xiuzhu come in and stay in the side courtyard," Jiang Chen said to Feng Xin'er.

"Okay," Feng Xin'er replied.

Jiang Chen had told Feng Xin'er about Bai Xiuzhu's entry into the Jiang family before, but Feng Xin'er didn't take it to heart.

After Bai Xiongqi sent Bai Xiuzhu to the Jiang family, it meant that Bai Xiuzhu's status in the Jiang family would be inferior, unless Bai Xiuzhu could demonstrate outstanding abilities.

In the Jiang family, as long as you have ability, you will have a high status.

Of course, this status has nothing to do with Jiang Chen's favor.

……

First World, Shanghai, New Marshal Group.

"Mr. Chen, this is the detailed plan for the Greentown Deep Blue Center project in Qingdao." Li Lijuan handed a document to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen opened it and started reading.

A moment later, Jiang Chen placed the documents on his desk: "Excellent. With the Qingdao Greentown Deep Blue Center project, the company's future development will be no problem."

"This is all thanks to President Chen," Li Lijuan said.

"Oh? How will you thank me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Mr. Chen, how would you like me to thank you?" Li Lijuan asked.

Jiang Chen made a face at Li Lijuan.

Li Lijuan blushed.

"Hurry up," Jiang Chen said.

Li Lijuan hesitated for a moment, then came to Jiang Chen and squatted down.

About half an hour later, Li Lijuan ran to the bathroom.

Jiang Chen followed.

It wasn't until an hour later that Jiang Chen and Li Lijuan emerged from the bathroom.

"Let's go eat together first," Jiang Chen said to Li Lijuan.

"Okay," Li Lijuan replied, "I'll go change my clothes."

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

Li Lijuan entered the adjacent lounge.

The rest room is where Li Lijuan rests while working.

Half an hour later, Li Lijuan finally left the room.

"You can't let anyone touch you from now on, not even hold hands," Jiang Chen said to Li Lijuan.

Li Lijuan's body stiffened.

Jiang Chen's meaning was quite clear.

Jiang Chen is trying to make her a forbidden meat.

But she had no choice.

However, even if a woman controls billions in assets, she is still not safe. In the eyes of those powerful figures, it would be very easy for them to do anything to her. Chen Jiang (Jiang Chen) used this method to bring her back to Shanghai from the United States.

But being Chen Jiang (Jiang Chen) is much better than being treated as a plaything by others (especially middle-aged and elderly people).

Moreover, Chen Jiang (Jiang Chen) is indeed young, and her deceased husband is no match for her.

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen's voice was somewhat cold.

"I understand," Li Lijuan said.

“That’s right.” Jiang Chen smiled.

It's good that Li Lijuan is able to recognize the times.

What's more, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that this feeling was actually quite nice.

After all, what's at home isn't as good as what's outside, and what's done openly isn't as good as what's done secretly.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Li Lijuan left the Xinshuai Group and went to a nearby restaurant.

Jiang Chen and Li Lijuan enjoyed their meal at the restaurant.

After all, their relationship had taken a step further.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Li Lijuan left the restaurant.

"Would you like me to take you home to rest?" Jiang Chen asked Li Lijuan.

"No need, I have things to do at the company, I need to go there," Li Lijuan said.

"Okay, I'll take you to the company." When Jiang Chen left the company earlier, he drove Li Lijuan out, so it was normal for him to take her back.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen," Li Lijuan said.

"As long as you're at ease, I won't let you down," Jiang Chen said.

Li Lijuan nodded.

After dropping Li Lijuan off at Xinshuai Group, Jiang Chen drove away.

On the way, Jiang Chen received a phone call and arrived at the Ou Group.

The Ou Group is the corporation featured in "I Want to Be With You".

The female lead, Du Ruonan, whom Jiang Chen previously signed up for, is the female lead in "I Want to Be With You." However, Du Ruonan is currently working at Nebula Security.

Today, Jiang Chen is here to meet Ou Changlin, the chairman of the Ou Group.

"Hello, Mr. Ou." Jiang Chen sized up Ou Changlin.

Ou Changlin is a character in "I Want to Be With You".

As the founder of the Ou Group, he experiences complex emotional entanglements in the drama. The plot also reveals his biological father-daughter relationship with Lin Meiya and Du Ruonan, and how Lin Meiya donates a kidney to save her father when he needs a kidney transplant after a car accident.

Furthermore, his interactions with his son, Ouyang, conveyed a conflict between entrepreneurial philosophies and values.

In a word.

That is, Ou Changlin is a man with a story.

"President Jiang, you've arrived." Ou Changlin invited Jiang Chen to sit down.

Jiang Chen sat down without any hesitation.

Jiang Chen came to see Ou Changlin this time because of the matter between Xingchen Cosmetics Company and Ou's Group.

O's Group is a world-renowned cosmetics company, and Starry Sky Cosmetics Company is a competitor of O's Group.

Jiang Chenlai is now tasked with resolving the competition between the two companies.

The reason Jiang Chen came in person was that the general manager of Xingchen Cosmetics Company was not as important as Ou Changlin, and if he wanted to negotiate, the Ou Group would not send Ou Changlin.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jiang Chen and Ou Changlin negotiated the issue of competition.

For the sake of their respective companies, neither Jiang Chen nor Ou Changlin would back down.

The two engaged in a heated exchange, nearly coming to blows. An hour later, Jiang Chen left the Ou Group.

Jiang Chen was not surprised that today's negotiations had failed.

After all, his purpose in coming to negotiate today was actually to test the waters of the Ou Group.

Therefore, although the negotiations were unsuccessful, a lot of information was gleaned from Ou Changlin.

"However, competition within Starry Sky Cosmetics Company is also a good thing..."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered as he walked towards the parking lot in front of the Ou Group.

Just then, Jiang Chen saw a young man.

Jiang Chen recognized him.

He is Ouyang, a character in "I Want to Be With You".

In the drama, he is the heir to a cosmetics conglomerate, wealthy and living a life of luxury. Beneath his rebellious exterior lies a soft, innocent heart. He is dedicated to his boxing career, showing a positive attitude and an indomitable spirit. A young, promising, wealthy second-generation heir, a domineering CEO, and a passionate boxer. He is in love with Mei Ya.

"I didn't expect it to be Ouyang."

"In the drama, Ou Changlin abandons his family, leaving his twin daughters to wander outside, but raises other people's children."

"This plot is really melodramatic."

Jiang Chen wondered if he could gain something unexpected if he used the fact that Ouyang was not Ou Changlin's son to scheme against Ou Changlin.
The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"It seems I can start thinking of a plan when I get back."

Despite thinking this to himself, Jiang Chen did not go to greet Ouyang.

Firstly, we don't know each other, and secondly, there's no need for it.

Just then, a voice came from the side: "Ouyang".

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Chen turned his head and saw a man and a woman walking towards Ouyang.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 10,000 Wild Goose Feather Waist Knives.]

"Ten thousand wild goose feather waist knives?"

"A third-grade weapon, the Goose Feather Waist Saber?"

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

According to the system introduction, this third-rank weapon, the Goose Feather Waist Knife, is made based on the Goose Feather Waist Knife from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in history.

The blade of the wild goose feather waist knife is relatively straight, with a slightly upturned arc at the tip. It is 70-80cm long and 3.5-4cm wide. There are four blood grooves on both sides of the blade. The blade is sharpened from the tip to the back of the blade, about 15-20cm from the tip, which is generally called the reverse edge.

The blade of the goose-feather waist knife is engraved with star patterns, and the scabbard is made of wood, covered with golden peach bark arranged in a "人" (human) shape. Golden peach bark is the bark of a type of peach tree found in southern China; its color is golden, like gold lacquer. Folklore says that golden peach bark can ward off evil spirits, so using it for the waist knife and scabbard serves both a decorative purpose and symbolizes the enduring stability of the empire and the awe-inspiring power of the people.

"This sign-in reward is great!"

"The Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards are required to be equipped with goose feather waist sabers."

"When the Eagle Armor Guards expand in the future, the demand for Goose Feather Waist Knives will definitely increase."

"If possible, the regular Jiang family army can also be equipped with this."

Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Li Weiwei is a character in the TV series "I Want to Be With You".

In the drama, she is portrayed as a spoiled and willful rich girl with a fiery personality. In her rivalry with Lin Meiya, she does everything she can to win Ouyang's attention, causing trouble for the "Ouyang-Ya couple" both openly and subtly. Having gone through a life-or-death experience together, she becomes best friends with Meiya.

"The plot of 'I Want to Be With You' begins in 18..."

“Li Weiwei…”

In the drama, Li Weiwei is the eldest daughter of the Li family and Li Dong's younger sister. She has been well-off since childhood and although she has a bit of a spoiled princess temperament, she is still very kind-hearted.

Li Weiwei is in love with Ouyang. Initially, she saw Lin Meiya as her rival and made things difficult for her at every turn. The turning point came after Li Weiwei was kidnapped, and Lin Meiya's twin sister rescued her. Later, when Li Weiwei fell ill, she was greatly appreciated for Lin Meiya's tender care. She was touched by Lin Meiya's kindness and open-mindedness, and the two became good friends.

"You could say that Li Weiwei is just a somewhat spoiled rich kid."

"Based on his performance in the drama, it can be said that he has done a very good job."

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Li Dong, who was standing next to Li Weiwei.

Li Dong is Li Weiwei's younger sister.

In the drama, he plays a wealthy second-generation heir who works hard to build his career. He's mature, stable, handsome, rich, and has strong moral values. He secretly likes Lin Meiya and becomes her "guardian angel," rich, easy-going, and always there for her. He rescues the female lead multiple times online, his super cool action scenes are incredibly charming, and his healing, warm personality is sure to charm everyone.

However, in Jiang Chen's opinion, Li Dong was too cowardly and incompetent.

Jiang Chen recalls that in the drama, Lin Meiya, after experiencing the shadow of heartbreak, rallied and, upon learning of her sibling-like relationship with Ouyang, finally decided to give up on this unhealthy romance. Li Dong, who had always silently protected Lin Meiya, offered her much support and help, constantly warming her heart. After a long period of emotional stagnation, she finally decided to open her heart and accept Li Dong, striving to fall in love with his unconditional devotion.

Suddenly, Su Zijie appeared, interrupting the heartwarming moment between Lin Meiya, Li Dong, and Li Weiwei. Su Zijie told Lin Meiya everything about Du Ruonan's feelings for Li Dong. Du Ruonan, who had never been attracted to any man before, fell in love with Li Dong at first sight. Later, upon learning that Li Dong loved Lin Meiya, Du Ruonan gave up her pursuit of him. She also instructed Li Dong to take good care of Meiya. Su Zijie's words left Lin Meiya facing a difficult decision.

Lin Meiya then realized that her feelings for Li Dong were only gratitude, not love, and thus wanted to help her sister, Du Ruonan. She refused Li Dong's offer to accompany her to America and found Du Ruonan, telling her that she had no feelings for Uncle Li and hoping that Du Ruonan wouldn't give up pursuing her own happiness for her sake.

When Jiang Chen first saw this part of the show, he thought the female lead, Lin Meiya, was a jerk.

She had already decided to open her heart and accept Li Dong, but just because of someone else's words, she gave him up? Is this a normal woman's reaction?

As for what constitutes being moved, it is not love.

He continued to say "hehe".

How many couples in this world are together because of love? Are you kidding me?
Even with his closest friends like Jiang Nansun and Shi Yi, their relationships weren't based on love. After all, without mutual benefit, love can't be stable when a man and woman are together.

This is the lesson learned from the seven-year itch and other related issues.

In Jiang Chen's view, men should deal with women like wolves.

If you want something, you have to get it.

Even if all you get is your body and not your heart, it doesn't matter.

If those women are deeply impressed, their feelings will gradually change. If you encounter someone who is truly incorrigible, then cut your losses immediately, or even eliminate them completely to prevent retaliation.

However, seeing Li Dong reminded Jiang Chen of Du Ruonan.

In the drama, Du Ruonan falls in love with Li Dong at first sight.

The story hasn't even started yet, and Du Ruonan hasn't met Li Dong. So, will things turn out the way they do in the show?
"I wonder how Du Ruonan is doing now?"

Jiang Chen thought about it and realized that Du Ruonan had been with Nebula Security for almost a year. If she was really capable, she could be recruited into the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

An hour later, Jiang Chen met Shi Ying.

"Mr. Shi, it's been a long time. You've become more and more beautiful." Jiang Chen sat down opposite Shi Ying.

The last time I saw Quartz was on March 9th. Now it's September, which is more than half a year, even according to the First World time.

In the past six months, Jiang Chen has traveled to many parts of the world, and relatively speaking, he hasn't seen Shi Ying for several years. So, it wasn't surprising that he said that. After all, Shi Ying is a wealthy man and takes very good care of himself.

"President Jiang, you're getting younger and younger too." Shi Ying was speaking from the heart, because every time she saw Jiang Chen, she felt that Jiang Chen seemed to have become younger.

"Looks like I've taken good care of myself," Jiang Chen said.

"Hmm." If it weren't inappropriate, Shi Ying would have liked to ask Jiang Chen how she maintained her youthful appearance.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jiang Chen said, "President Shi, thank you for your help with the previous matter at Xianda International Logistics."

Xianda International Logistics is a well-established and rapidly growing international freight forwarding service provider.

As early as November of last year, Jiang Chen had Quartz Capital of Eagle Stone Capital conduct an investigation. Later, when he went to Hong Kong to operate Meitu (last December), Jiang Chen had Quartz Capital of Eagle Stone Capital secretly acquire First International Logistics.

Before going to the Third World at the end of last year (December 2016), Quartz told Jiang Chen that the acquisition of Sinda International Logistics was progressing smoothly.

When he last met with Sei-ying in March, Sei-ying told him that a preliminary agreement had been reached.

In April of this year, First International Logistics was officially acquired and is now another logistics company under the Star Group. After several months of restructuring, First International Logistics has been revitalized.

"Mr. Jiang, you already thanked me over the phone before," Shi Ying said with a smile.

“That’s different. This isn’t just a verbal thank you,” Jiang Chen said.

"What does President Jiang mean?" Shi Ying was slightly taken aback.

"This is a small gift for President Shi." Jiang Chen took out a gift box and handed it to Shi Ying.

"Mr. Jiang, isn't this inappropriate?" Shi Ying glanced at the gift box and then looked at Jiang Chen.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile. "This is just a small gift from me to Mr. Shi, simply to express my gratitude. It has no other meaning, so please don't overthink it."

Don't overthink it.

Shi Ying's beautiful eyes flashed.

If Jiang Chen hadn't said that, she wouldn't have thought much of it, but since Jiang Chen said it, she couldn't help but overthink it.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Shi Ying accepted the gift box and then asked, "President Jiang, is there anything I can do for you? I certainly won't refuse if it's within my power..."
