Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1623 Huang Yimei: Is it really beautiful?

"For me?" Liu Yingxia pointed to herself.

“Yes, this is a little gift for you.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “It’s just a bracelet, and it’s not expensive.”

“It costs more than ten thousand,” Liu Yingxia said.

"So it's not much." For Jiang Chen, a little over ten thousand yuan was really a small amount of money. However, seeing Liu Yingxia's expression, Jiang Chen still said, "Sister Xia, to me, this is just a small gift, you don't need to care about it. Well, at worst, you can treat me to a meal when we go back to Jingkou."

"Okay." Liu Yingxia hesitated for a moment but still accepted it.

“That’s right. We’re not just fellow villagers, we’re friends too. You don’t need to be so polite with me. Besides, you bought so many things for me today, it’s only right that I give you a small gift.” Jiang Chen didn’t have any other thoughts; he just felt that he would be good to those who were good to him.

Liu Yingxia smiled but didn't say anything.

However, she still felt that the gift Jiang Chen gave her was too expensive.

Jiang Chen also saw through Liu Yingxia's thoughts, but he didn't think much of it and changed the subject to talk to Liu Yingxia about other things.

After dropping Liu Yingxia off, Jiang Chen drove to a high-end restaurant.

"Yi Mei, am I not late?"

Having arrived in Yanjing, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't forget to see Huang Yimei, so he sent her a message when he went to see Liu Yingxia off.

"What do you think?" Huang Yimei asked in return.

"I think we're too late." Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't say it was just right.

"Hmph." Huang Yimei gave a coquettish snort and walked towards the restaurant.

They found a private room at the restaurant, and Jiang Chen ordered food and drinks, chatting with Huang Yimei as they ate.

"Yimei, when are you going to Shanghai?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What are you going to Shanghai for?" Huang Yimei asked.

"Get to know my women," Jiang Chen said.

"Let's drink." Huang Yimei didn't say anything about going to pick up Jiang Chen.

“Okay, let’s have a drink.” Jiang Chen picked up his glass and clinked it with Huang Yimei’s.

Because he had been in the Second World for three months, Jiang Chen hadn't seen Huang Yimei for more than three months.

Therefore, Jiang Chen had a lot to talk about with Huang Yimei.

Jiang Chen and Huang Yimei enjoyed their meal very much over the course of an hour.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Jiang Chen looked at Huang Yimei and said, "Shall we go to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel?"

"I...I want to go home," Huang Yimei said, glancing at Jiang Chen.

"Then let's go home together," Jiang Chen said calmly.

Huang Yimei is no young girl, and Jiang Chen has no intention of playing hard to get with her.

Anyway, Huang Yimei already knows that he has many women, but she doesn't want to see his other women, so now it's just a matter of when she can completely conquer him.

If Huang Yimei is still fantasizing about love, Jiang Chen will have to find another way.

"..." Huang Yimei glared at Jiang Chen with annoyance.

She felt that Jiang Chen did it on purpose.

"Let's go to the hotel," Jiang Chen said.

This time, Huang Yimei didn't say much.

The Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

That is, the hotel where Xu Hongdou works.

This is the second time Jiang Chen and Huang Yimei have booked the presidential suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

However, unlike last time, Jiang Chen did not see Xu Hongdou this time.

It's obvious that Xu Hongdou isn't working right now.

However, although I felt regretful, I didn't dwell on it.

Upon arriving at the presidential suite, Jiang Chen handed a bag to Huang Yimei.

"What is this?" Huang Yimei asked, taking the bag with a puzzled look.

"Try on this cheongsam," Jiang Chen said.

"cheongsam?"

"Yes, I bought it especially for you." The cheongsam was in Jiang Chen's spatial ring before, but he pretended to take it out of the car while he was driving.

Huang Yimei opened the bag, took a look, and then went to exchange it.

Soon, Huang Yimei came out.

The entire cheongsam is a bright, pure red. Under the light, you can see subtle jacquard patterns on the fabric. Dragon and phoenix patterns are wrapped around the waist and hem, and the gold thread trim adds a lot of depth. It's understated yet exudes elegance.

This cheongsam features a piping stand-up collar and slightly wide cuffs, perfectly accentuating the lines of the arms.

Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed when he saw Huang Yimei walking out in a cheongsam.

"nice."

Jiang Chen murmured.

"Is it really beautiful?" Huang Yimei took a few steps.

“It’s so beautiful.”

Jiang Chen took out the calligraphy brush that had just been placed on the table.

"What are you doing?" Huang Yimei asked.

"I want to paint your portrait." When Jiang Chen was choosing a cheongsam for Huang Yimei, he thought Huang Yimei looked beautiful in it, so he had already prepared his brush, ink, paper and inkstone while Huang Yimei went to change into the cheongsam.

"Draw it?" Huang Yimei was slightly taken aback.

"Mm," Jiang Chen replied while continuing to draw.

Jiang Chen has a photographic memory.

Therefore, Huang Yimei's beauty will be etched in my memory.

At the same time, Jiang Chen also possesses god-level drawing skills.

Therefore, painting is also a very simple thing.

When Huang Yimei came to Jiang Chen's side, Jiang Chen had already completed one-tenth of the task.

Seeing Jiang Chen's focused expression, Huang Yimei didn't disturb him.

Because she also wanted to see how well Jiang Chen drew it.

After half an hour.

"All right."

Jiang Chen put down his brush and let out a long sigh of relief.

"This this……"

Huang Yimei was stunned when she saw Jiang Chen's painting.

Is this a painting?
Isn't she looking in the mirror?
No, I think she's even better than she is in real life.

"How was it?" Jiang Chen asked Huang Yimei, his tone tinged with a hint of boasting.

"It's just so-so," Huang Yimei said insincerely.

"Really? Then I'll destroy it?" Jiang Chen said.

"No." Huang Yimei stood in front of Jiang Chen as she spoke, as if she was afraid that Jiang Chen would destroy the painting.

Just then, Huang Yimei heard Jiang Chen's laughter.

Huang Yimei's face flushed slightly.

Because it was only then that she realized Jiang Chen was bluffing her.

“I’ll buy you a Shanghai-style cheongsam later, maybe it will be even prettier,” Jiang Chen said.

"Shanghai-style cheongsam?" Huang Yimei was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, it’s the Shanghai-style cheongsam.” Jiang Chen nodded.

What is the Shanghai-style cheongsam?

The Shanghai-style cheongsam, a traditional women's garment that emerged in the first half of the 20th century centered in Shanghai, blends Manchu clothing with Western cultural elements, becoming a representative style of the fusion of Eastern and Western clothing cultures. Its design is an improvement on the traditional cheongsam, employing Western tailoring techniques such as bust darts and waist darts to create a fitted and slim silhouette. Traditional elements such as stand-up collars, slanted plackets, and slits are combined with lace, gauze fabrics, and gradient color techniques, achieving a balance of subtlety and modern style. Decorative techniques include nine handcrafted methods: inlaying, embedding, piping, embroidery, painting, openwork, carving, and coiling.

In the First World, the Shanghai-style cheongsam was not particularly outstanding.

However, in the spiritual capital, the Shanghai-style cheongsam is very popular.

"I'll wait." Huang Yimei didn't refuse because Jiang Chen's drawing of her was too beautiful.

"Come on, let me see." Jiang Chen placed his hands on Huang Yimei.

"What are you looking at?" Huang Yimei couldn't stand Jiang Chen's gaze.

"Look at you." Jiang Chen swallowed hard, then picked up Huang Yimei in one scoop.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Huang Yimei said, putting her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

"Of course, if we hadn't been in the private room just now, I would have..." Jiang Chen didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

At the same time, Jiang Chen carried Huang Yimei into the bedroom.

At this point, Huang Yimei began to cooperate.

This wasn't the first time for Jiang Chen and Huang Yimei, so naturally they weren't going to hold back.

Having experienced countless battles, Jiang Chen wanted to conquer Huang Yimei, so he naturally did everything in his power.

……

The next day, at the courtyard house.

"Cool!"

Jiang Chen woke up feeling refreshed.

Huang Yimei is just an ordinary person, how could she be a match for Jiang Chen?
Therefore, after defeating Huang Yimei, Jiang Chen returned to the courtyard house.

An Qinghuan and the others were all in Yanjing.

The courtyard house was where all the women lived.

Although Yanjing is very large, An Qinghuan and the others only need an invisibility talisman to fly back to the courtyard house on their swords.

After glancing at Miao Ying, who was still fast asleep, Jiang Chen washed up and left the room.

While An Qinghuan and the others were still sleeping, Jiang Chen found a place to begin cultivating.

After finishing his cultivation, Jiang Chen had breakfast with An Qinghuan and the others who had gotten up.

As their cultivation levels increased, Jiang Chen and his women not only ate low-grade spirit rice, but also the meat of ferocious beasts and spirit vegetables (vegetables possessing spiritual energy). Therefore, they usually cooked for themselves. Because they possessed spatial rings, bracelets, and bags, they typically prepared large quantities of food.

Of course, Jiang Chen made breakfast today.

"President Jiang, what brings you to Yanjing this time?" An Qinghuan asked.

"I want to further cooperate with several research institutes at Yenching University," Jiang Chen said, making no attempt to conceal his purpose.

"graduate School?"

An Qinghuan was slightly taken aback.

"I want to collaborate with Yenching University using advanced technology that we have at our current level for the next one to five years," Jiang Chen said.

"The reason for collaborating with the research institute at Yenching University is..." An Qinghuan realized at this point that Jiang Chen wanted to further cooperate with the higher-ups.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded. "As we develop in the First World, some things are inevitable. We need to be prepared. Also, this will allow our companies to recruit talent at places like Yenching University in the future."

“That’s true.” An Qinghuan, Miao Ying, and the others nodded in understanding.

Jiang Chen asked Miao Ying about the Weiye Group and Yang Tao about the hotel...

Jiang Chen provided An Qinghuan and the others with a great deal of emotional value during breakfast.

After breakfast, An Qinghuan and the others went to the company, while Jiang Chen went to Peking University.

Unlike yesterday when he met with Professor Yang from the law school, Jiang Chen went to several research institutes at Yenching University.

Jiang Chen did not leave Yenching University until 3 p.m.

It has to be said that talking to those old guys at the Yenching University Research Institute was an exhausting experience.

Of course, the most important thing is to maintain a proper balance.

Jiang Chen didn't want to be left in the research institute.

"I'm so tired."

Jiang Chen hadn't expected his mental strength to be so high, and he felt a little tired.

However, Jiang Chen only needed to circulate his cultivation technique for a moment, and the feeling of exhaustion disappeared.

After checking the sky, Jiang Chen arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

It's different from last night.

I saw Xu Hongdou in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel today.

Even after some time apart, Xu Hongdou is still as youthful and beautiful as ever.

"When should we talk to Xu Hongmi about it?"

"Good sisters should naturally share happiness and joy."

Jiang Chen thought of Xu Hongmi.

Xu Hongmi is now a true strong woman.

However, at the hotel, and because he was going to see Huang Yimei, Jiang Chen did not contact Xu Hongdou.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the presidential suite.

"Woke up?"

Seeing Huang Yimei eating at the restaurant, Jiang Chen walked over with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Huang Yimei asked, glancing at Jiang Chen.

"I missed you." Jiang Chen sat down next to Huang Yimei and asked, "Would you like to order some more?"

"That's enough, I'm full," Huang Yimei replied.

"Are you really full? If not, eat some more. After all, we still have physical labor to do later," Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"What kind of physical labor?" Huang Yimei was taken aback at first, then realized what was going on and glared at Jiang Chen with annoyance: "I'm going home in a bit. I didn't go to the company today."

"Why go home?"

Jiang Chen said without hesitation, "Is your home here? What company do you have? You can stay here every day while I'm in Yanjing."

"Stay here every day?" Huang Yimei blinked, thinking she might have misheard.

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

"Can you handle it?" Huang Yimei asked.

As soon as she said those words, Huang Yimei thought of the battles she had fought with Jiang Chen since they met.

Jiang Chen is not human at all.

Therefore, the one who couldn't handle it wasn't him, but her.

“I left early yesterday,” Jiang Chen said.

"What do you mean?" Huang Yimei asked.

“You are no match for me. After you fell asleep yesterday, I went to find my other wives,” Jiang Chen said.

"What? You, you, you..." Huang Yimei stood up abruptly.

"What's so surprising about that? If you can't satisfy me, I'll find someone else to satisfy me." Jiang Chen said without hesitation, "I've told you before that I have many women. Why? Because one or two can't satisfy me."

"..." Huang Yimei.

“Besides, all my women except you know about each other (at least most of them do). So, now that you’re no match for me, I have no choice but to look for someone else,” Jiang Chen continued.

Why did Jiang Chen say that?

He wanted to confront Huang Yimei, to make her accept other women, and to have her with other people.

“You can go find someone else today,” Huang Yimei said.

"I'm in Yanjing, how could I possibly let you go?" Jiang Chen picked up Huang Yimei and walked towards the bedroom.

"You, you let me rest for a bit," Huang Yimei said quickly.

“You can rest, I’ll do what I want to do,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Huang Yimei.

However, under Jiang Chen's actions, Huang Yimei was unable to speak.

"If you agree to let me meet my wives, I can let you rest for a while." Jiang Chen's meaning was clear: he wanted Huang Yimei and Shi Yi to meet and have a complete showdown.

"I won't agree," Huang Yimei said without hesitation.

“Then we will…” Jiang Chen directly slept with Huang Yimei.

An hour and a half later, Jiang Chen left the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

However, it was still early, so Jiang Chen didn't go to the courtyard house immediately, but instead went to find Lu Xiaoshan.

"Jiang Chen."

When Lu Xiaoshan saw Jiang Chen, he quickly walked over.

"Have you been waiting long?" Jiang Chen walked over with a smile.

"No, I just got off work too," Lu Xiaoshan said.

"Let's go eat first." Jiang Chen had been working with Huang Yimei for so long and was starving.

"Okay." Lu Xiaoshan nodded.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Let's go to the restaurant up ahead," Lu Xiaoshan pointed forward.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw a luxuriously decorated restaurant.

“I’ve eaten at this restaurant before, and the food was pretty good,” Lu Xiaoshan said.

"Okay, let's go."

At that moment, Jiang Chen and Lu Xiaoshan walked towards the restaurant in front.

Jiang Chen never expected to run into Tang Shiyi at the restaurant entrance.

The system notification sounded the moment Tang Shiyi was seen.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one set of Tiger Cuffs.]

"A pair of tiger shackles?"

"This is the seventh time I've checked in and I've received a Luo Tiger Cuff."

Tiger cuffs are handcuffs.

The difference is that handcuffs are for arresting ordinary people, while tiger handcuffs are for arresting martial artists.

The tiger shackles are made of special materials; even a grandmaster cannot break free once they are on them. More importantly, these tiger shackles can be unlocked using fingerprints, iris scans, and the family head's seal.

The user's fingerprint and iris scan are the lowest level of unlocking, while the head of the household's seal is the highest level of unlocking.

It can be said that these tiger shackles are the powerful weapon of the Qi Yun family.

"Good stuff."

"This is the lowest level of equipment."

"Although this thing is useless in the Fourth World, it is useful in the First World, the Second World, the Third World, and the Spirit World."

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

Tang Shiyi is a character in the TV series "Think It Through Before Getting Married".

In the drama, she is Long Xia's ex-girlfriend, a woman who dares to love and hate, willing to do anything for love. While her name, Shi Yi, evokes poetry, her personality is the opposite; she is Long Xia's fiery and unruly ex-girlfriend. Her fiery and unruly nature leads her to regret the breakup and constantly cause trouble for Long Xia. In love, Tang Shi Yi is a complete prideful woman, with her own thoughts and opinions, willing to do anything for the one she loves, and extremely stubborn.

"The poetic imagery of Tang poetry in 'Think It Through Before Getting Married'?"

"What luck!"

In the drama, Tang Shiyi and Long Xia were once a couple, and Long Xia's mother, Qiao Min, strongly encouraged their marriage. To help Tang Shiyi get a permanent position, Long Xia even brought soup to the hospital for the mother of the director of the human resources department at her company. After breaking up, Tang Shiyi agreed to get back together but demanded that Yu Xiaoyu move out. She also badmouthed Yu Xiaoyu in front of Long's mother, causing the latter to be forced to move out.

Tang Shiyi demanded that Long Xia move out because he was living with Yu Xiaoyu, and subsequently created misunderstandings to sow discord between the two. After marrying into a wealthy family, Tang Shiyi attempted to re-enter Long Xia's life through money and emotional manipulation, but ultimately failed.

After Yu Xiaoyu was framed, Long Xia rescued her and took her home, which triggered a fierce argument between Tang Shiyi and Long Xia. The subsequent act of complaining accelerated the outbreak of their conflict.

Tang Shiyi was known for her outspoken and competitive personality.

"Tang Shiyi's career path is arduous, but her methods are extreme."

Jiang Chen's mind flashed with information related to Tang Shiyi.

However, Jiang Chen did not disturb Tang Shiyi, but continued to walk into the restaurant with Lu Xiaoshan.
