Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1551 "The Amazing Girl" - Wen Ruxin

In the evening, Jiang Chen arrived at a high-end restaurant.

"Mr. Jiang."

Chen Shan stood at the restaurant entrance and greeted Jiang Chen as he approached.

"Yes, Attorney Chen, am I not late?" Jiang Chen approached Chen Shan with a smile.

"I just arrived too," Chen Shan said.

"Haha."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I wanted to invite you to dinner last time in Hong Kong, but I just didn't have the time. I didn't expect you to call me today."

Jiang Chen naturally understood that Chen Shan called him for business, not because she liked him or missed him.

"President Jiang, let's go inside and talk first," Chen Shan said.

"Okay, but it's a promise, it's my treat today," Jiang Chen said.

“This…” Chen Shan hesitated for a moment.

"It's settled then." Jiang Chen's tone left no room for refusal.

Chen Shan then agreed.

Soon, the two arrived at the private room.

"Attorney Chen, please order. Don't be shy about what you want to eat." Jiang Chen handed the menu to Chen Shan.

"Okay." Chen Shan did not refuse and began to order.

After Chen Shan ordered, Jiang Chen added a few more dishes before handing them over to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Jiang Chen asked, "Attorney Chen, is there something you wanted to discuss with me by phone this time?"

Because of the IPO of Baisai Group, Chen Shan had previously mentioned contacting Morgan Stanley for cooperation. During her last visit to Hong Kong, Chen Shan also discussed the progress of her discussions with Morgan Stanley and the preparations for Baisai Group's IPO.

Therefore, in Jiang Chen's view, Chen Shan's visit to him this time was also about the Baisai Group.

"President Jiang, it's about the Baisai Group." Chen Shan's words confirmed Jiang Chen's guess.

"Attorney Chen, is there a problem with the Baisai Group?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes and no." Chen Shan shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen asked.

“It’s about Morgan Stanley…” Chen Shan began.

For Baisai Group to list in the United States, it needed a securities firm recommendation, and Morgan Stanley was the firm Chen Shan chose. However, such matters are naturally not always smooth sailing, and various problems arose along the way.

Now Chen Shan is facing this problem that needs to be solved.

She sought him out because Jiang Chen was the controlling shareholder of the Baisai Group.

"Attorney Chen, let's discuss this slowly," Jiang Chen said to Chen Shan as the waiter brought out the food.

"Okay." Chen Shan did not refuse.

After the food and drinks were served, Jiang Chen didn't immediately get down to business. Instead, he started drinking and eating with Chen Shan.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"Attorney Chen, what are your thoughts on the Morgan Stanley issue?" Jiang Chen asked.

“President Jiang, the reason Morgan Stanley is holding us hostage is because of its own interests,” Chen Shan said.

“Capital is bound to seek profit. This is perfectly normal,” Jiang Chen said.

"So, what does Mr. Jiang mean?" Chen Shan asked.

“Let’s keep arguing,” Jiang Chen said.

"Continue arguing?" Chen Shan was slightly taken aback.

“Yes. We want to take Baisai Group public, either by partnering with Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs and other companies. They’re all the same. If we can’t satisfy them, Baisai Group can’t go public. But we can’t give up too much profit, so…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"President Jiang, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Shan asked.

"I don't have a good solution, but I do have a simple one," Jiang Chen replied.

"Ordinary method? What ordinary method?" Chen Shan asked.

Jiang Chen took a sip of his drink and then said, "My method is very simple..."

After a while.

"President Jiang, will your idea work?" Chen Shan asked after a moment's hesitation.

"We'll find out if it works by trying, and besides, there's no better way right now," Jiang Chen said.

“That’s true, but if this method doesn’t work…” Chen Shan didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was already quite clear.

"If this method doesn't work, we'll think of another. Where there's a will, there's a way; I believe there must be a solution." In Jiang Chen's view, as long as Baisai Group is listed in the US, both Morgan Stanley and other companies can profit. It's just a matter of how much. And right now, the most important thing is who can remain patient.

“Then I will do as President Jiang says,” Chen Shan said.

“Okay, I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens. I also believe that Attorney Chen will succeed.” Jiang Chen said with a smile to Chen Shan.

At this moment, Chen Shan appeared exceptionally charming because of the alcohol she had been drinking.

Jiang Chen felt that if it weren't for his strong self-control, he might have already found a way to get her.

Yes, as the successor to Cao Cao's ambitions, Chen Shan is currently the most attractive. This situation is somewhat inevitable.

"Then let's wish him success." Chen Shan had no idea what Jiang Chen was thinking. In Chen Shan's opinion, Jiang Chen was the best client she could take on.

"Okay." Jiang Chen picked up his wine glass and gestured to Chen Shan.

After finishing their business, Jiang Chen started chatting with Chen Shan about something else.

Jiang Chen's conversation was like a gentle breeze, which quickly brought a smile to Chen Shan's face.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and the other person finished their meal.

"Attorney Chen, how are you? Are you alright?" Jiang Chen asked, seeing Chen Shan who was somewhat tipsy.

"I'm fine," Chen Shan said.

"Then slow down." Jiang Chen actually wanted to go up and help Chen Shan right now. However, Chen Shan was a very rational person, and he didn't know if she was really drunk or pretending, so, being cautious, Jiang Chen didn't do anything reckless.

Chen Shan nodded.

So Jiang Chen stood protectively by Chen Shan's side and walked out of the restaurant.

It was only when Chen Shan stumbled and was about to bump into someone that Jiang Chen stepped forward to help her up.

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Chen asked Chen Shan, "Attorney Chen, would you like me to take you home?"

"No need, I've already called a designated driver," Chen Shan said.

Just then, Chen Shan's designated driver arrived.

"Message me when you arrive," Jiang Chen told Chen Shan.

"Okay." Chen Shan understood what Jiang Chen meant.

Soon, Chen Shan got into the car and left.

"This Chen Shan is really cautious."

Jiang Chen had previously only suspected that Chen Shan was faking her drunkenness, but the shrewd look that flashed in Chen Shan's eyes when she got into the car just now made him realize that Chen Shan was not drunk at all.

However, this is fine.

He didn't do anything out of line just now. If this happens a few more times, Chen Shan's guard will drop, and then the opportunity will come.

"It's time to go back."

Jiang Chen circulated his internal energy, dispelling all the alcohol fumes from his body, and then walked towards the parking lot.

On the way to East Suburb No. 1.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen, who was driving, suddenly focused his gaze and saw Cao Ling at the bus stop next to him.

"Why is Cao Ling here?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, then he drove over.

Soon, the car stopped next to Cao Ling.

"Cao Ling, what are you doing here?" Jiang Chen asked Cao Ling.

"Mr. Jiang...?" Cao Ling was also quite surprised to see Jiang Chen, but she immediately replied, "Tongtong is sick, so I brought her out to see a doctor."

"See a doctor? Are there any hospitals around here?" Jiang Chen asked, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

“I took the bus to the hospital. I can’t transfer now,” Cao Ling said.

"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride," Jiang Chen said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang." Cao Ling didn't stand on ceremony, picked up her daughter Tongtong, opened the car door, and got into the car.

"Hello, Tongtong." Jiang Chen smiled at Tongtong.

Tongtong stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chen.

Tongtong is only two years old this year, and she's so cute.

"Call me Uncle," Jiang Chen said.

"Uncle," Tongtong called out.

"Tongtong, you're such a good girl." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Tongtong, you can actually greet people?" Cao Ling asked in surprise.

"Isn't it normal for Tongtong to greet people?" Jiang Chen retorted.

“Tongtong usually doesn’t greet people,” Cao Ling said.

"This just proves that Tongtong and I are destined to be together." Jiang Chen smiled and started the car. "Mr. Jiang, I no longer live in Hongfeng Community. I live in Yiyu Community." Cao Ling suddenly said, as if she had just remembered something.

“Yiyu Residential Area? No wonder.” Jiang Chen immediately turned the car around: “Cao Ling, you should buy your own car too.”

"I want to buy a house first," Cao Ling said.

“That’s true. Buying a house is the most important thing.” Jiang Chen did not deny it.

For Chinese people, buying a house is the most important thing.

"Tongtong has caught a cold, hasn't she?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, just a mild cold," Cao Ling replied.

As Jiang Chen and Cao Ling chatted, they soon arrived at Yiyu Residential Area.

"Cao Ling, do you want me to take you up?" Jiang Chen asked.

“This…” Cao Ling hesitated.

"Uncle, hug me."

Just then, Tongtong pounced on Jiang Chen.

"Come here." Jiang Chen opened his arms and hugged Tongtong.

"Uncle!" Tongtong cheered.

"Tongtong, we're going home." Cao Ling hadn't expected Tongtong to like Jiang Chen so much.

"Cao Ling, I'll take you up there," Jiang Chen said to Cao Ling.

"Okay." Cao Ling thought about it and felt that this was the only way.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen carried Tongtong out of the car.

"Mr. Jiang, come with me." Cao Ling glanced at Jiang Chen and walked into Yiyu Residential Complex.

Jiang Chen followed closely behind.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the residential area, he saw a woman.

"is her?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

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 low-level spirit cannons.]

"Ten low-level spirit cannons?"

"I've checked in for the twelfth time."

"According to the system description, this low-level spirit cannon is similar to the M777 cannon, with a large barrel length to caliber ratio and a smaller propellant charge, making it suitable for low-angle firing."

"The difference is that the low-level spirit cannon is engraved with runes and array patterns. The super cannon of the First World has a range of 1000 kilometers, while the low-level spirit cannon has a range of 2000 kilometers."

"Unlike cannons, spirit cannons use low-grade spirit stones (only low-grade spirit stones are used). A single shot from a low-grade spirit cannon costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and its power is equivalent to a full-force attack from a Martial Emperor."

"The cooldown time for each firing of a low-level spirit cannon is five minutes."

"As long as there are enough low-grade spirit stones, a low-level spirit cannon can fire one hundred times in a row. After firing one hundred times in a row, the low-level spirit cannon will need to undergo a three-day cooling-off period."

“Each low-level spirit cannon requires five Grandmaster martial artists to operate.”

"However, the sign-in reward is pretty good."

"It's a pity that too many low-grade spirit stones were used."

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

Wen Ruxin, a character in "The Amazing Girl".

In the drama, Wen Ruxin is the daughter of the Wen family, which has a long-standing relationship with Yao Yuan's family. After Wen Ruxin returns from France, Yao's mother intends to match her with Yao Yuan. At this time, Yao Yuan, who has just broken up with Shen Siyi, is initially resistant, but later changes his opinion of her because of Wen Ruxin's interesting and independent nature. Yao Yuan gradually accepts Wen Ruxin, but still loves Shen Siyi. Upon learning everything, Wen Ruxin chooses to let them be together.

"The story of 'The Amazing Girl' begins 20 years ago."

"Wen Ruxin..."

In the drama, Wen Ruxin appears gentle but is very opinionated. Due to family pressure, she decisively refuses a blind date with Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan, under his mother's matchmaking, goes on a blind date with Wen Ruxin. Facing this beautiful overseas returnee, Yao Yuan is indifferent and doesn't even bother to add her on social media. To get rid of Wen Ruxin, Yao Yuan calls some of her drinking buddies to scare her away while he hides. However, Yao Yuan discovers he has underestimated Wen Ruxin.

Wen Ruxin, with her outgoing personality, drank heartily with several men, calling them brothers and even offering them discounts at her cake shop. However, upon meeting Yao Yuan, she utterly disdainful of him, telling him he didn't need to treat her like that and that she disliked blind dates. She then left, making Yao Yuan feel he had been somewhat unreasonable. Yao Yuan later unexpectedly encountered Wen Ruxin again, finding her simple, hardworking, and resilient. He helped her fix her car and even gave her suggestions on decorating her cake shop. The two became good friends.

Later, Yao Yuan went to Wen Ruxin's cake shop on New Year's Eve and helped her sell pastries, which brought the two of them closer.

Often, the person you meet on a blind date isn't necessarily bad; it's just that the person setting the date usually carries some personal biases, which can make the other person feel uncomfortable. Yao Yuan was no exception. Although he had no shortage of girls who liked him, he still had feelings for Shen Siyi, and he hadn't gotten over that hurdle. As for Wen Ruxin, he thought she was just average, like any other ordinary girl, offering no challenge. However, later, when he realized that Wen Ruxin wasn't actually the girl he had imagined, he began to have a better impression of her.

Wen Ruxin's hard work and perseverance impressed him, revealing another side of this seemingly sweet girl. She actually possessed some of Shen Siyi's traits—an independent and strong personality. This is why the arrogant Yao Yuan took notice of this blind date. As they spent more time together, he discovered even more of her virtues, and it was inevitable that he would develop feelings for her.

During her time with Yao Yuan, Wen Ruxin fell in love with him, but unexpectedly discovered that Yao Yuan still had feelings for Shen Siyi. In the end, Wen Ruxin chose to break up with him with great pain and began her career.

"I never expected to run into Wen Ruxin here."

"Born into a wealthy family and with an elite overseas background, she doesn't have a trace of princess temperament. Instead, like all dream chasers, she started a hard-working business."

"This rich kid isn't bad either."

Jiang Chen sized up Wen Ruxin.

Seeing her reminded Jiang Chen of Bai Xiaoxiao from "Hikaru no Go".

However, Wen Ruxin is considered ordinary among the many female leads.

"Uncle," Tongtong's voice rang out.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I want to be lifted up high," Tongtong said.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse, and lifted Tongtong high in the air.

“President Jiang, you…” Cao Ling turned around when she heard Tongtong’s laughter: “You can’t spoil her too much.”

"It's alright." Jiang Chen smiled and quickened his pace.

Five minutes later, Jiang Chen entered Cao Ling's house.

"This place is nice." Jiang Chen looked around Cao Ling's house. "By the way, Cao Ling, isn't your housekeeper here?"

"He's not here today." As Cao Ling spoke, she came to Jiang Chen and prepared to take Tongtong away.

"No." Tongtong hugged Jiang Chen's neck and turned away.

"Tongtong?" Cao Ling looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise.

"I want Uncle to hold me, I want to be lifted up high," Tongtong said.

"..." Cao Ling.

"..." Jiang Chen.

"Cao Ling, why don't you go take care of your own things first? I'll hug Tongtong for a bit." Jiang Chen's meaning was clear: he wanted Cao Ling to take a shower or something. However, whether Cao Ling would understand was another matter.

“This…” Cao Ling was slightly taken aback.

"It's settled then, go quickly," Jiang Chen said when he saw Cao Ling's hesitation.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang." Cao Ling said as she went to pour water for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen then held Tongtong and played with her.

"Hee hee hee……"

Jiang Chen is a senior childcare worker, and playing with Tongtong is practically her job.

However, Jiang Chen also knew that he couldn't let Tongtong play too much at night, so after playing with Tongtong for a while, he coaxed her to sleep.

Jiang Chen has many effective ways to lull someone to sleep, so the child fell asleep in less than three minutes.

"Cao Ling, where does Tongtong sleep?" Jiang Chen asked.

“In the second bedroom,” Cao Ling replied.

"The second bedroom? Tongtong doesn't live with you?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

"I also do some work at home, so..." Cao Ling didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"Do you work from home too?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

“There’s a lot going on at the company…” Cao Ling came up to Jiang Chen and said, “President Jiang, please give Tongtong to me.”

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded, preparing to hand Tongtong to Cao Ling.

However, as if she knew Jiang Chen wanted to hand her over to Cao Ling, Tongtong clung tightly to Jiang Chen's clothes.

"This..." Cao Ling was slightly taken aback upon seeing this scene.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Cao Ling, let me carry Tongtong to her room."

"Alright, Mr. Jiang, come with me." Cao Ling led Jiang Chen to the second bedroom as she spoke.

Jiang Chen glanced around and saw a large bed and a small bed in the second bedroom.

"Cao Ling, is the nanny the same one as before?" Jiang Chen asked.

“It’s the same one as before,” Cao Ling replied.

"Tongtong, be good..." Jiang Chen gently comforted Tongtong.

A moment later, Tongtong finally let go of Jiang Chen's clothes.

Jiang Chen put Tongtong on the small bed.

"President Jiang, I didn't expect you to be so popular with children." Cao Ling couldn't help but say when she saw Jiang Chen's cautious manner.

“That’s right, don’t you even know who I am…” Jiang Chen stood up and looked at Cao Ling.
