Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1542 "Fifteen Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds": Li Jun Reunites with Liu Yin

"It's nothing."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, you're familiar with Meituan, aren't you?"

“Of course.” Quartz nodded.

Quartz was naturally familiar with Meituan, a top-tier food delivery platform.

Moreover, she also knew that Jiang Chen owned shares in Meituan.

But why did Jiang Chen suddenly bring up Meituan?

Do you want Eagle Stone Capital to invest in Meituan?

But Eagle Capital's resources are not enough to invest in Meituan.

“Meituan is working on going public next…” Jiang Chen began.

After his last conversation with Penguin Ma, Jiang Chen knew that a battle between Penguin and Xingchen Group was inevitable before Meituan went public.

Star Group is quite powerful, but Tencent is even stronger than Star Group.

Jiang Chen and Shi Ying's message was simple: they wanted Shi Ying to assist them.

Although the amount of Quartz's Eagle Capital is not large, it can play a key role at critical moments.

“President Jiang, if Tencent finds out about this, they will definitely target Eagle Stone Capital.” Shi Ying hadn’t expected that Jiang Chen’s purpose was to help Xingchen Group deal with Tencent.

But in Penguin's eyes, Eagle Capital is just a small Karami. Does it have the qualifications to challenge Penguin?

"Haha." Jiang Chen laughed and said, "It's just normal business competition. Besides, being able to get a piece of the pie from Tencent is also an opportunity for Eagle Stone Capital."

Jiang Chen didn't think that Quartz would be afraid of the other party because it was a penguin.

If the small were afraid of the big, there wouldn't be so much conflict in the world. Wouldn't all the shares of those small companies end up in the hands of the big companies?
Moreover, Jiang Chen also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to compete with the penguins and get a piece of the pie.

Quartz fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ying spoke up: "President Jiang, I agree."

"Mr. Shi, don't worry, I'm also a shareholder of Eagle Stone Capital. I won't let anything happen to Eagle Stone Capital," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“What President Jiang said is enough,” Shi Ying said.

Jiang Chen smiled.

Quartz's agreement was expected.

The reason Eagle Capital is doing so well now is because of his secret help.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Shi Ying walked out of the coffee shop.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll be leaving now," Shi Ying said.

"Okay, Mr. Shi, take care." Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Quartz left quickly.

After watching Shi Ying drive away, Jiang Chen also prepared to leave.

Just then, a voice came from the side: "President Jiang?"

"Liu Yin?" Jiang Chen turned his head and saw Liu Yin.

Liu Yin, a character in "Mother-in-Law's Bracelet".

Liu Yin currently works in the Human Resources Department of Xingchen Group.

"President Jiang, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things." Liu Yin walked over.

"Are you surprised to meet me here?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"President Jiang, that's not what I meant," Liu Yin quickly said.

"Okay, I was just kidding. This isn't the company, so relax." Jiang Chen smiled and chatted with Liu Yin for a few moments before asking, "Liu Yin, have you eaten? Want to grab something to eat together?"

“This…” Liu Yin hesitated for a moment.

"Let's go together if you have time, it's on me. But if you're busy, that's fine too," Jiang Chen said.

"I'm fine," Liu Yin replied.

"Then let's go," Jiang Chen invited.

Liu Yin nodded.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Liu Yin arrived in front of a restaurant.

"Let's eat here," Jiang Chen said, pointing to the restaurant in front of them.

"Okay." Liu Yin nodded.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen led Liu Yin into the restaurant.

Just then, a woman walked out of the restaurant.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this woman, Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one Orange Spirit Fruit.]

"A Luo of Oranges?"

"This is the sixth time I've checked in and received the Orange Fruit."

The Orange Spirit Fruit is a spiritual fruit used to cultivate spiritual power, and it is of a higher grade than the Crimson Spirit Fruit. Although the Orange Spirit Fruit and the Crimson Spirit Fruit differ by only one character, they are worlds apart. It can be said that this is the fourth thing to increase spiritual power, besides the Elementary Spirit Nourishing Pill, the Intermediate Spirit Nourishing Pill, and the Crimson Spirit Fruit.

"After refining the Crimson Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute can be increased by 24 points, while after refining the first Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 240 points, and after refining the second Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 120 points."

"This is an extraordinary treasure!"

"Although only martial artists at the Spirit Abyss Realm can refine the Orange Thought Fruit, it is an extraordinary thing."

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

Li Jun is a character in the TV series "Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds".

In the drama, Li Jun is Li Li's best friend. She is lively, cheerful, innocent, and has a strong sense of right and wrong. Her approach to relationships is very simple: if she likes someone, she likes them intensely; if she doesn't, she rejects them outright. In high school, she admired Pei Shangxuan and was willing to do anything for him, eventually becoming friends with him. In college, Li Jun met Daniel. Because she disliked him, she often argued with him, but unknowingly, she fell in love with him during these arguments.

"The plot of 'Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds' begins in 16."

“Li Jun…”

In the drama, Li Jun is Li Li's best friend, with a straightforward personality and a strong sense of right and wrong. She grew up with Li Li and was a cheerful, chubby girl. Later, she blossomed into a beautiful woman, undergoing minor cosmetic surgery thanks to her family's business success. Unlike Li Li, who keeps her love bottled up, Li Jun is someone who loves and hates fiercely. She laughs loudly when happy, cries loudly when sad, living life to the fullest, free and unrestrained!
She had admired and liked Pei Shangxuan since high school, but as time went by, she gradually learned to let go of her personal feelings and instead tried to bring Li Li and Pei Shangxuan together.

During her university years, Li Jun gradually developed feelings for Daniel due to their frequent arguments, going from initially disliking him to eventually falling in love with him.

Later, Li Jun and Daniel separated due to misunderstandings and the pressures of reality. Daniel became a highly sought-after superstar, and Li Jun had long since moved on from their breakup. However, during a phone call with Pei Shangxuan, she mentioned Daniel, expressing her disapproval of his newfound fame and entourage. Pei Shangxuan had no interest in discussing Daniel with Li Jun; instead, he mentioned Li Li, who had been missing for seven years. Li Li had not only abandoned Pei Shangxuan but also severed ties with Li Jun, actions that truly baffled him.

Later, Li Li took the initiative to visit Li Jun. Her appearance was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Li Jun, who cheered and gave her a hug. Seven years had not diminished their friendship; they still cared for each other as always. Li Li revealed to Li Jun her secret of having leukemia. It was because of her leukemia that she broke up with Pei Shangxuan. She didn't want to affect Pei Shangxuan's business ventures. Now that fate had brought Pei Shangxuan back into her life, she only wanted to continue hiding her illness.

Li Jun and Daniel reconciled after Li Jun's sincere apology and persistence.

"I never expected to run into Mr. Li today."

"All three female leads of this drama have signed up."

Seeing Li Jun reminded Jiang Chen of Jiang Baili from the novel "Unrequited Love".

Li Jun and Jiang Baili were played by the same actress in their previous lives.

However, Jiang Chen only glanced at it before walking into the restaurant with Liu Yin.

Soon, Jiang Chen and Liu Yin arrived at a private room in the restaurant.

"What would you like to eat? Don't be shy." Jiang Chen handed the menu to Liu Yin after sitting down.

"Then I won't be polite." Liu Yin picked up the menu and started ordering.

"It's my treat, so there's no need to be polite," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Of course, Liu Yin ordered only ordinary dishes, but Jiang Chen added a few more after seeing them and also ordered a bottle of red wine.

Soon, the food and drinks were served.

Jiang Chen and Liu Yin chatted while eating.

They were talking about company matters.

Jiang Chen knew he wasn't familiar with Liu Yin; they'd only met a few times at work. So, having dinner together suddenly would be a little awkward. Talking about work was the best way to break the ice.

And that's what it is.

During the question-and-answer session between Jiang Chen and Liu Yin, the atmosphere between them became more relaxed.

Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Chen began to talk about local customs and traditions.

Liu Yin chuckled softly from time to time as Jiang Chen spoke.

Those unaware of the situation assumed Jiang Chen and Liu Yin were a couple. However, Liu Yin, the person involved, was oblivious to this and simply found Jiang Chen witty and humorous.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Liu Yin walked out of the restaurant.

"Liu Yin, let's take a walk together to digest our food?" Jiang Chen didn't want to be separated from Liu Yin right now.

"Okay," Liu Yin replied without refusing.

"Then let's go." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The story hasn't even started yet. Liu Yin isn't married yet, and she might not even know Shi Lei because she's working at Xingchen Group.

Liu Yin nodded and followed Jiang Chen onto the sidewalk.

A cool breeze was blowing at night.

"Liu Yin, what do you think are the shortcomings of the company's human resources department?" Jiang Chen asked, glancing at Liu Yin.

Liu Yin is not only young and beautiful, but also possesses a youthful and adventurous spirit, especially since she has only been working for a short time. This is truly admirable.

In Jiang Chen's view, employees of Xingchen Group should have this kind of adventurous spirit.

"This..." Liu Yin couldn't say anything. She was only able to do her job in the human resources department of Xingchen Group; when had she ever thought about these things?
"Haha, don't be nervous. I'd like to know what the work of your human resources department is like," Jiang Chen said.

"This one……"

"Can't I say?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Liu Yin quickly explained the work of the Human Resources Department.

As Jiang Chen listened to Liu Yin's words, he began to ask questions.

Jiang Chen is even better at managing human resources than Liu Yin, so every question he asks hits the nail on the head.

Therefore, Liu Yin felt pressure when answering the question.

Jiang Chen saw Liu Yin's reaction and a smile flashed across his face.

As their conversation deepened, the discussion turned to human resources issues.

Of course, as the conversation progressed, Jiang Chen spent most of his time giving Liu Yin pointers.

Rumble!
Just then, thunder roared.

Jiang Chen looked up and found that the sky had become covered with dark clouds.

"It's going to rain," Liu Yin said.

"Liu Yin, did you drive?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Mr. Jiang, I don’t have a car yet,” Liu Yin replied.

"No cars?" Jiang Chen looked around and said, "It seems difficult to get a taxi here. Let's go back the way we came."

"Okay." Liu Yin had no objections.

At that moment, Jiang Chen and Liu Yin returned the way they came.

Because it was about to rain, Jiang Chen and Liu Yin walked very quickly.

Of course, this speed is relative.

Liu Yin was wearing high heels, so even if she wanted to go fast, she couldn't.

Rumble!
The thunder in the sky grew louder and more frequent.

Within minutes, large raindrops began to fall, and Jiang Chen and Liu Yin had returned less than a third of the way.

"It's a shower, we need to find a place to take shelter." For Jiang Chen, as long as he circulated his true energy, he could keep the rain out. However, Liu Yin was an ordinary person, and he wouldn't show it in front of her.

Of course, Jiang Chen could run away with Liu Yin, but he wouldn't do that now.

"Mr. Jiang, there's a bus stop up ahead. Let's hide there for a bit," Liu Yin said, pointing to the bus stop.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

Just as Jiang Chen and Liu Yin reached the bus stop, a torrential downpour began.

Rumble!
Thunder and lightning raged in the sky.

"This rain is really heavy." Jiang Chen stood in front of Liu Yin.

"President Jiang, you..." Jiang Chen stood in front, blocking the rain.

"It's alright," Jiang Chen said. "The rain is too heavy. If it hits you, your clothes might get completely soaked. That would be troublesome for you."

Because it was September and the weather was hot, Liu Yin was wearing relatively light clothing, so Jiang Chen's meaning was quite clear.

"..." Liu Yin naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant.

“Besides, if I don’t do this, my clothes will get wet too, so it’s better to just let me get wet,” Jiang Chen said.

“But Mr. Jiang, you…” Liu Yin hesitated.

Jiang Chen is her boss.

"Don't worry, it's already like this anyway." Jiang Chen looked at Liu Yin and said, "It's just a thunderstorm, it comes and goes quickly."

"Ah."

Liu Yin responded, her expression calming down.

It was at this moment that she realized she and Jiang Chen were standing close together, which was extremely awkward.

She tried to push Jiang Chen away, but he was shielding her from the rain.

Moreover, if I push Jiang Chen away, wouldn't he end up in the rain?

But if they don't push Jiang Chen away, wouldn't their position be a bit too...?

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen noticed Liu Yin's unusual behavior and asked, feigning ignorance.

"No...it's nothing," Liu Yin shook her head.

"Liu Yin, will your boyfriend misunderstand us like this?" Although she knew that Liu Yin might not have met Shi Lei yet, this was a world that blended film and television, but it was also a real world, and Liu Yin would find other boyfriends.

Moreover, now that Liu Yin has joined Xingchen Group and become an employee of the group, she can be considered a high-quality stock in the marriage market.

"I don't have a boyfriend," Liu Yin said.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" Jiang Chen blurted out.

"No."

"That shouldn't be the case. You're so beautiful, and your monthly salary isn't low either. I thought you already had a boyfriend." Jiang Chen said with a look of doubt in his eyes.

“What’s so strange about that? I just want to focus on my career right now,” Liu Yin said.

"Don't your family pressure you to get married?" Jiang Chen asked.

"President Jiang, why are you asking this?" Liu Yin asked back.

"It seems your family is really pressuring you to get married. Tell me, how does it feel?" Jiang Chen asked.

"..." Liu Yin.

"President Jiang, I, I..." Liu Yin hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

“Say whatever you want to say. This isn’t the company, so you don’t need to be reserved,” Jiang Chen said.

"It's nothing really, it's just that I think you're a bit gossipy, Mr. Jiang," Liu Yin said.

"Me? Gossip?" Jiang Chen pointed to himself.

"Yes," Liu Yin nodded.

"Why? Is it because I asked you if your family was pressuring you to get married?" Jiang Chen looked at Liu Yin speechlessly.

"I don't think someone like President Jiang should act like this." Who is Jiang Chen? He's the president of Xingchen Group, a high and mighty figure. In Liu Yin's view, Jiang Chen should be characterized by arrogance, coldness, and aloofness, while also possessing exceptional looks and extraordinary abilities.

As for gossipy CEOs, I don't think I've ever seen one in a novel.

"Is there anything wrong with the Eight Trigrams?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes, it’s just a bit strange,” Liu Yin said.

"Aren't you gossipy?" Jiang Chen asked back.

"I..." Liu Yin wanted to say that she wasn't gossipy, but then she suddenly remembered that she occasionally inquired about gossip at the company.

"Looks like you're a gossip too." Jiang Chen looked at Liu Yin meaningfully.

"I... I just gossip occasionally," Liu Yin said.

"So, I only gossip occasionally," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Liu Yin thought about it and agreed.

After all, gossiping is human nature.

“However, I think you’re right not to find a boyfriend. You’re still young and should focus on your career,” Jiang Chen said.

“President Jiang, I think you’re a PUA,” Liu Yin said.

“No, I’m just making empty promises…” Jiang Chen said.

"Making empty promises? President Jiang, you're being honest." Liu Yin laughed upon hearing this.

"Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. I rely on real money and benefits at the company..." Jiang Chen and Liu Yin chatted.

Despite the torrential rain, Jiang Chen and Liu Yin continued chatting.

During their conversation, the two almost forgot that it was raining.

However, even though Jiang Chen shielded Liu Yin from the rain, a considerable amount of rain still fell on her.

Because Liu Yin was wearing a shirt, which was also wet.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but swallow.

“Mr. Jiang…” Liu Yin noticed Jiang Chen’s reaction, and her beautiful eyes fell on Jiang Chen’s… Adam’s apple…

At this moment, Liu Yin felt her mouth was dry.

I'm thinking...

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Liu Yin, his expression meaningful: "What are you trying to say?"

"I, I..." Liu Yin's mind went blank.

"What?" Jiang Chen approached Liu Yin.

Looking at Jiang Chen, who was less than two centimeters away from her, Liu Yin's mind went blank.

A fragrant aroma wafted over, and Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

"It smells so good," Jiang Chen murmured as he slowly approached.

Boom!

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder rang out.

Liu Yin shuddered and woke up with a start.

Seeing Jiang Chen so close, Liu Yin was startled and then pushed him away.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen took a step back.

Liu Yin quickly said, "President Jiang, I'm sorry, I... I did it subconsciously..."
