Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1616 "Heart's Abode" - Feng Qianqian

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No," Hua Duoduo said awkwardly, her eyes flashing.

"So you're happy now?" Jiang Chen stepped forward and put his arm around Hua Duoduo's waist.

"You, you shouldn't do this, come in first..." Hua Duoduo seemed afraid of being seen by others, and turned to let Jiang Chen in.

"it is good."

Jiang Chen responded, but did not release Hua Duoduo.

After the door was closed, Hua Duoduo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What, are you worried that our affair will be seen by others?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow at Hua Duoduo's reaction.

"No, I didn't think that way," Hua Duoduo quickly replied.

"Really?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, really." Hua Duoduo nodded.

When she returned to China, she wanted to see He Yan.

After all, even after being abroad for several years, she still couldn't forget He Yan. However, she never expected that in order to attract investment for the company, she would meet Jiang Chen and take the final step with him.

She was also furious when she learned that Jiang Chen had other women.

There were various reasons why she broke up with He Yan, one of which was her inability to tolerate He Yan marrying someone else. Therefore, Jiang Chen's situation was the most hateful to her.

But is hatred useful?
Obviously not.

Unlike He Yan, Jiang Chen had her completely under his control. Due to various factors, she could only let Jiang Chen succeed time and time again.

However, she didn't want others to know about her relationship with Jiang Chen.

She felt ashamed to face others if they found out.

However, she didn't dare to show it in front of Jiang Chen.

"What were you doing just now?" Jiang Chen asked.

“I’m working,” Hua Duoduo replied.

"Work? Aren't you going out for a walk today?" Jiang Chen glanced around the living room and saw the laptop on the coffee table.

"I don't want to go out," said Hua Duoduo.

"I thought you were waiting for me here?" Jiang Chen put his arm around Hua Duoduo and sat down on the sofa.

"I didn't know you were coming." Hua Duoduo rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, annoyed.

"Maybe we're on the same wavelength." Jiang Chen kissed Hua Duoduo on the cheek.

"Don't..." Hua Duoduo pushed Jiang Chen.

"Don't what?" Jiang Chen chuckled and pounced on him.

"Jiang Chen, I... I still have work to do." Hua Duoduo quickly stopped Jiang Chen.

"Work isn't important; what we need to do next is the most important thing." However, despite saying this, Jiang Chen still let Hua Duoduo handle the work at her insistence.

This was Jiang Chen's first time directly observing Hua Duoduo's work.

Hua Duoduo is the founder of Duoduo.com and has very strong work capabilities.

However, this work ability is relative.

In Jiang Chen's opinion, Hua Duoduo's work ability was still somewhat lacking, much worse than that of his other women.

Half an hour later, Hua Duoduo finally finished her work.

"Mr. Jiang, are you really that free? No work today?" Although it's National Day, for the boss, there are no holidays. That's why Hua Duoduo is asking this now.

"Work requires a balance between work and rest. Besides, what are those people in the company for? They're just there to do the work." Jiang Chen likes to be a hands-off manager, but he does so while still holding power.

"Really?" Hua Duoduo asked, still somewhat doubtful.

According to the information she gathered, Jiang Chen is a workaholic.

“Now that you’ve finished your work, can we do what we need to do?” Jiang Chen said.

"We should go eat," said Hua Duoduo.

"Are you going to cook for me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"..." Flowers bloom.

"You don't want to?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Why don't you cook too?" Hua Duoduo suggested.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

"You agreed?" Hua Duoduo blinked, looking at Jiang Chen with some disbelief.

"What's so surprising about that? You don't think I can't cook, do you?" Jiang Chen asked.

Hua Duoduo didn't answer, but the meaning on her face was already very clear.

"Come on, let's go cook."

Jiang Chen pulled Hua Duoduo into the kitchen.

In just twenty minutes, Jiang Chen and Hua Duoduo prepared four dishes and a soup.

"Duoduo, today I can finally taste your cooking," Jiang Chen said.

"It's definitely not as good as what you make." Today there were four dishes and a soup. Although only two of the dishes were made by Jiang Chen, she knew from the aroma and color that what she made was no match for what Jiang Chen made.

"Looks like you have confidence in me." Jiang Chen pulled Hua Duoduo to sit down, then asked, "Do you have any wine? Shall we have a drink together?"

"I'll go get it." Hua Duoduo stood up again.

Jiang Chen did not refuse and watched as Hua Duoduo went to get the wine.

"I bought this from the United States." Hua Duoduo took another wine glass and came to the table.

"Then I'll have to have a good taste," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"What haven't you eaten?" Hua Duoduo rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

“That’s true. You’ve let me eat everything, what haven’t I tried?” Jiang Chen looked at Hua Duoduo with a smile.

Hua Duoduo glared at Jiang Chen with annoyance, then poured wine for the two of them.

"Duoduo, you did a great job," Jiang Chen said after tasting a bite of the dish Hua Duoduo had made.

"It's far inferior to what you made." Hua Duoduo ate the dishes Jiang Chen made.

“Then I’ll eat you, and you eat me,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Hua Duoduo naturally understood Jiang Chen's words and couldn't help but glare at him hatefully.

Jiang Chen and Hua Duoduo ate for half an hour.

"Mr. Jiang, you have a big appetite." Hua Duoduo was surprised to see that Jiang Chen had eaten 80% of the four dishes and one soup.

"What's this? I have a big appetite. Even if there were four more dishes and a soup, I could eat them all," Jiang Chen said.

"Really?" Hua Duoduo had just seen Jiang Chen eat four bowls of rice.

“Of course,” Jiang Chen whispered in Hua Duoduo’s ear, “After all, I’m going to do some physical labor later.”

“You…” Hua Duoduo glared at Jiang Chen and began to clear the dishes.

After Hua Duoduo entered the kitchen, Jiang Chen followed her.

"What are you doing in here?" Hua Duoduo had just put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher when she saw Jiang Chen.

"Why do you think I came in?" Jiang Chen saw Hua Duoduo wiping her hands and went up to hug her from behind. "What are you doing? This is the kitchen." Hua Duoduo rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, annoyed.

"I've never done anything in the kitchen before." Jiang Chen's hands started to wander.

“You…” Hua Duoduo is a top student. She has had boyfriends before, traveled abroad, and is now a woman. She is not like those young girls. She can understand what Jiang Chen means.

"Want to give it a try?" Jiang Chen asked.

“We just finished eating,” Hua Duoduo said.

"So, you're not unwilling?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, that's not what I meant." Hua Duoduo quickly shook her head.

"That's exactly what I mean. Your explanation is just a cover-up." Jiang Chen chuckled, not caring whether Hua Duoduo agreed or not.

Hua Duoduo couldn't help but pinch Jiang Chen.

At that moment, Hua Duoduo let out an indescribable sound.

"That sounds beautiful." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Hua Duoduo didn't speak, but a change appeared in her eyes.

An hour later, Jiang Chen glanced at Hua Duoduo sleeping on the bed before getting dressed and leaving.

However, Jiang Chen did not leave the International Garden, but instead walked uphill.

Jiang Chen's goal was simple: to find Bai Xue.

Last time, he almost won over Bai Xue. He spent three months in the Second World, and Jiang Chen missed her very much.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen hadn't confirmed Bai Xue's presence before arriving, so he rang the doorbell for a long time without getting an answer. When Jiang Chen used his spiritual power to check, he found Bai Xue wasn't there, and had no choice but to leave.

However, Jiang Chen was not disappointed.

After all, as long as Bai Xue doesn't use drugs or alcohol on He Yan, the two of them simply won't be able to get together.

After leaving the International Garden, Jiang Chen decided to go find Cao Ling first.

Before going to the Second World, he and Cao Ling got together, and even if we only count the time in the First World, he hadn't seen her for several days.

However, today is National Day, so Cao Ling may not be home.

Therefore, Jiang Chen used computer technology to find Cao Ling's whereabouts.

Now that we've entered the era of big data, with Jiang Chen's computer skills, finding Cao Ling's whereabouts would be easy.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen arrived at a park.

"I wonder where Cao Ling and the others are right now..."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to enter the park, he unexpectedly saw Feng Xiaoqin.

"I didn't expect to see Feng Xiaoqin here." A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Feng Xiaoqin is a character in "Xinju".

However, he met Feng Xiaoqin before Gu Jia introduced Gu Qingyu to him as his girlfriend.

It's fair to say that he hasn't seen Feng Xiaoqin in a very long time.

Just then, Jiang Chen saw a little girl running towards Feng Xiaoqin.

"Is it her?" Jiang Chen recognized her.

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 fifteenth 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.

Feng Xixi, a character in "Xinju".

In the drama, she plays Feng Xiaoqin's younger sister. She comes to Shanghai with her sister to make a living, temporarily staying at her sister's house. After finding a job at a bank, she suffers unfair treatment and suppression from her boss. In her desire to succeed, she uses her relative Gu Xin's connections to boost her sales performance and even has an affair with him. Ultimately, the affair is exposed, leaving her with nowhere to go in Shanghai, forcing her to start over in another city.

“Feng Qianqian in ‘Xinju’”.

"I didn't expect her to come to Shanghai?"

"That's true, it's National Day now. They're probably here to have fun."

"The story begins with Gu Qingyu celebrating her 36th birthday. Feng Xiaoqin is two years older than Gu Qingyu, so she should be 38. Feng Xiaoqin is 17 years older than Feng Qianqian."

"Gu Qingyu is now thirty-two years old, Feng Xiaoqin is thirty-four years old, and Feng Qianqian is seventeen years old."

In the drama, Feng Qianqian came to Shanghai at the age of nineteen. After graduating from high school, she didn't continue her studies, only wanting to make her way in the world. With her older sister Feng Xiaoqin taking care of her in Shanghai, she began to live a life of dependence.

Feng Qianqian and Grandma Gu shared a room, with a curtain drawn between them, each with their own bed, which was somewhat manageable. In Shanghai, where land is incredibly expensive, a downstairs apartment rented to four people cost nearly three thousand yuan a month for the smallest room, not including utilities. Since she was living there for free, she needed to be mindful of her spending. Her sister had instructed her from the start to help with housework, and she often assisted her sister in the kitchen.

If this were an ordinary girl, whether for the sake of her sister's peace or to avoid being looked down upon, she would choose to live elsewhere. While it might be difficult for Feng Qianqian to gain love through her looks, it would be more than enough to secure her basic livelihood. But she didn't want to live without dignity. Therefore, even though she had many grievances against the Gu family, she endured it all and diligently stayed at their home.

However, maintaining this last vestige of superficial relationship was the only barrier keeping Feng Qianqian living in the Gu family. Otherwise, both Grandma Gu and Gu Qingyu would stop at nothing to drive Feng Qianqian out. Therefore, when Su Wangdi suggested that she work as a nanny for Gu Xin and Ge Yue, Feng Qianqian simply left in a huff, without uttering a single resentful word.

In Feng Qianqian's eyes, Gu Xin was someone unattainable, like a star in the sky, beautiful yet unreachable. Since arriving in Shanghai and moving into the Gu family home, she silently endured the whispers and gossip surrounding her. But Gu Xin was different. When Feng Qianqian was bullied, he stood up for her without hesitation. The seemingly gentle and frail Gu Xin, to protect Feng Qianqian, even fought with others, ending up in the police station.

When they bumped into each other after get off work, whether Gu Xin was driving or riding a bike, he would always give Feng Qianqian a ride home without hesitation. Gu Xin's rare warmth and care for Feng Qianqian made her feel a warmth and respect she had never experienced before.

When Feng Qianqian first met Ge Yue and secretly commented to her sister that Ge Yue was "just average-looking," her face clearly showed three parts disdain, three parts incomprehension, and four parts jealousy. She looked down on Ge Yue's ordinariness; in her eyes, the outstanding Gu Xin deserved someone better. She couldn't understand what Gu Xin saw in Ge Yue. Was it merely her family background?

However, she was fully aware of her own limitations. Let alone whether she was good enough for Gu Xin, she couldn't even get past Gu Xin's parents. And over this long period, Feng Qianqian had long seen through Su Wangdi's true, ugly nature. Therefore, knowing there was absolutely no possibility between her and Gu Xin, she forcefully suppressed her admiration and respect for him deep within her heart, preventing it from growing.

Regarding her work, Feng Qianqian taught countless newcomers to the workplace a lesson in life choices and how to make a comeback from a desperate situation. Feng Xiaoqin asked Zhan Xiang to find Feng Qianqian a job at a bank. For a girl from out of town with limited education, this job was a godsend. Therefore, Feng Qianqian cherished this job very much.

Not only did she actively learn skills from her mentor at work, but even though he didn't teach her anything, Feng Qianqian still managed to learn a bit of the essence through observation and exposure.

Feng Qianqian accomplished three things: First, she worked hard regardless of the outcome. Second, she never gave up even when wronged. Third, she didn't cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide; she resolved everything with wisdom. Even when taken advantage of, she endured it silently.

It can be said that Feng Qianqian not only endures what others cannot, but she is also more clear-headed than Gu Qingyu, able to let go of relationships gracefully and with complete self-awareness. Furthermore, she possesses a level of courage and wisdom in her career that most girls lack.

However, at the same time, Feng Qianqian was overwhelmed with a great sense of accomplishment after closing her first deal. She understood that as long as she closed a deal, she was a hero; how she closed the deal wasn't important. So, to boost her sales, she asked Gu Xin to keep an eye out for loan business. Coincidentally, Gu Xin's wife's uncle was recently struggling with a loan. Feng Qianqian seized the opportunity and recommended herself. Real estate loans are complicated and difficult to approve, so Feng Qianqian came up with an idea: have a company unrelated to real estate approve the loan, and then transfer the funds from their company's account after the loan was disbursed. Mr. Huang was the perfect candidate.

One day, Feng Qianqian bumped into Gu Xin, who was in a daze, on the street. Gu Xin invited her to visit his new home. As they toured the house, they poured out their troubles. Under the influence of alcohol, their hearts drew closer, and they had a wild night together. After that night, both Gu Xin and Feng Qianqian wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. Feng Qianqian didn't want to cause Gu Xin any trouble, while Gu Xin wanted to continue playing the role of a loving father and husband.

Later, when Ge Yue's uncle's real estate company applied for a loan, Feng Qianqian and Gu Xin used a client who was a financial manager to act as a go-between. This client was later investigated and punished. Gu Xin managed to save her uncle's life through connections, but the manager was sentenced to prison. Not long after, Gu Xin met the same fate. Feng Qianqian even received a homemade bomb from that same person as revenge, ultimately resulting in her being fired and breaking up with her boyfriend.

Feng Qianqian's dream of living in Shanghai has finally been shattered. She plans to go home for a while and then develop her career in Guangzhou.

"It can be said that Feng Qianqian was someone who had tried hard, but she was repeatedly hit hard, which is why her personality changed drastically."

"Feng Qianqian is only seventeen years old... so she's only in her second year of high school? Or maybe her third?"

Jiang Chen looked at Feng Qianqian in the distance, his eyes flickering.

Just then, a voice came from the side: "Jiang Chen? You are Jiang Chen?"
