Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1648 Li Qian Joins the Jiang Family, Sees Song Qian Again

Bincheng, a five-star hotel, presidential suite.

"President Jiang, you're really inhuman." Li Qian felt exhausted.

"What's this? This is just a warm-up," Jiang Chen replied.

"Warm-up?" Li Qian remained silent.

She was already exhausted, but Jiang Chen said he was just warming up.

However, she knew that what Jiang Chen said was true.

"If I didn't have the ability, how could I have won over so many girlfriends?" Jiang Chen chuckled.

"They're two-faced, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back," Li Qian rolled her eyes.

“What do you mean by saying one thing to your face and another behind your back? I didn’t lie to anyone,” Jiang Chen said.

"You still say you're not lying. Who knew you had so many girlfriends?" Li Qian said.

“I didn’t mention my girlfriend. Besides, I’ve said before in front of you that I have many girlfriends, but you just didn’t believe me,” Jiang Chen said.

“Uh…” Li Qian fell silent.

That's what Jiang Chen said before.

Unfortunately, neither she nor anyone else believed Jiang Chen's words.

The reason is that Jiang Chen's words were too unbelievable; from a worldly perspective, no one could believe them.

"Putting everything else aside, can you leave me now?" Jiang Chen asked.

At first, Li Qian rejected him repeatedly.

When Li Qian came to the hotel today, wasn't she still hesitant?
“There are plenty of men in the world,” Li Qian said.

"Can those men compare to me?" Jiang Chen retorted.

"..." Li Qian.

Compared to Jiang Chen?
Whether it's financial resources, knowledge reserves, or appearance, they are all better than others.

Compared to others, Jiang Chen's only shortcoming is that he has many women.

But which rich man doesn't have several women?
This has nothing to do with gender equality.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this is likely still Jiang Chen's advantage.

After all, the fundamental reason why men and women get together is not just love, but there is another word before love.

"Let's continue." As he spoke, Jiang Chen's hands began to move.

"No."

Li Qian quickly said, "I'm going to Yanjing tomorrow, I want to sleep."

"Sleeping, aren't we?" Jiang Chen retorted.

"..." Li Qian.

"President Jiang, will you let me go if I agree to your demands?" Li Qian asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen did not deny it.

"I, I agree, I agree," Li Qian said quickly.

"Really?" Jiang Chen sat up, looking intently at Li Qian.

"You're so happy that I agreed?" Li Qian looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

“Of course, if you agree, you are a member of the Jiang family.” Jiang Chen looked at Li Qian and said, “Are you sure? There is no possibility of regret here.”

"I won't regret it." Sensing Jiang Chen's caution and seriousness, Li Qian also became serious.

"well."

A look of surprise appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes. Then, Jiang Chen took out a top-grade glass-type jadeite bracelet: "Li Qian, do as I say from now on."

"Okay." Li Qian did not refuse.

He was granted the certification of the Holy Clan and bestowed the title of Junior Envoy.

Li Qian became the 201st member of the Jiang family.

An hour passed, and Li Qian's eyes were still wide open, filled with disbelief.

"Haven't accepted yet?" Jiang Chen waved his hand in front of Li Qian.

"Is this a spatial bracelet? Are Secretary Nie, Secretary Xue, Secretary Wei, and Secretary Li from the CEO's office all your women?" Li Qian said.

"clever."

Jiang Chen smiled, then dropped a bombshell: "An Qinghuan, Wu Shiyi, Gu Jia... including Yu Qingqing, are all my women."

"You...you're such a scumbag." Li Qian was dumbfounded.

Does Xingchen Group and its subsidiaries have dozens of Jiang Chen's women?
What surprised her even more was that Yu Qingqing, her good friend and best confidante, was already Jiang Chen's woman.

Thinking back on the comfort Yu Qingqing had given her over the past two weeks, she suddenly realized that Yu Qingqing's comfort was guided.

“Isn’t this a real…man?” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Li Qian.

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Chen retorted.

"When did you and Yu Qingqing get together?" Li Qian asked.

“A long time ago,” Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Now Yu Qingqing can also fly on a sword. Although she can't fly as fast as I can, it's not bad.”

"Ah...no wonder Yu Qingqing has maintained her appearance so well." Li Qian thought of the changes in Yu Qingqing during this period, and also of the changes in Nie Xingchen and the others.

"More importantly, after cultivation, one can improve mental strength, as well as work ability and speed," Jiang Chen said.

"So, your work speed is because of cultivation, because of your strength?" Li Qian finally understood why Jiang Chen's work ability was so strong, and she also finally understood why Nie Xingchen and the others in the president's office were more capable than her.

It's not that she didn't work hard, but rather that she lacked the ability she didn't understand.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

“You cheated,” Li Qian said.

"This is the ability of the Jiang family. It's not cheating." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Now that you're a member of the Jiang family, you can improve as long as you work hard in your cultivation."

“Teach me cultivation right away,” Li Qian said.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse.

At that moment, Jiang Chen began teaching cultivation.

After half an hour.

"Li Qian, let's practice the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique," Jiang Chen said.

"How can such a technique exist in this world?" Li Qian rolled her eyes.

"Isn't this great? I'm now at the Martial God Realm, and cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique will bring you unimaginable benefits. Don't you want to give it a try?" Jiang Chen approached Li Qian with a smile.

"Yes," Li Qian answered without hesitation.

"Let's begin then." Jiang Chen pounced on him.

Cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique is different from simply having sexual relations with someone.

However, Jiang Chen likes them all.

……

The next day, Li Qian didn't get up until noon.

This was only because Jiang Chen showed mercy.

"How are you feeling?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile as he approached the bedside.

“You’re not human,” Li Qian replied.

"I'm asking about the results of cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique," Jiang Chen said.

"I...I'm a second-rate martial artist now?" Li Qian pondered.

"Hmm, not bad." Jiang Chen wasn't surprised by Li Qian's rapid improvement in strength. After all, he was already at the Martial God Realm, and the benefits he would gain from cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with him were unimaginable.

“However, you still need to familiarize yourself with your strength,” Jiang Chen continued.

"What should we do then?" Li Qian asked.

"Let's practice for a bit first and consolidate our skills," Jiang Chen said.

"Once I've mastered my cultivation, I will definitely defeat you," Li Qian said.

"Darling, do you know what the purpose of cultivation is?" Jiang Chen sat down next to Li Qian and then put his arm around her as he asked.

"What is it?" Li Qian didn't answer, but asked in return.

"You can stay young forever." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "As long as you cultivate diligently, you can guarantee that you will stay young forever."

"Eternal youth?" Li Qian's eyes lit up.

"Yes, in addition to that, it can also increase lifespan. For example, I am currently at the Martial God Realm, and my average lifespan is ten thousand years." Jiang Chen dropped another bombshell.

"What?" Li Qian was dumbfounded.

China's history is only five thousand years.

Jiang Chen said that the average lifespan of a Martial God Realm cultivator is ten thousand years?

"Surprised? Still a little skeptical?" Jiang Chen asked. "A little," Li Qian nodded.

However, given what had happened before, Li Qian did not immediately deny it.

“What I pursue is immortality, but immortality is a lonely thing, so I want to achieve immortality with my family,” Jiang Chen said.

"Immortality?" Li Qian gasped.

“Yes, it’s about achieving immortality and living a carefree life in the mortal world,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Li Qian.

"I want to roam the mortal world with you all, and achieve immortality together. That is my ultimate goal. Besides, it's normal for a man like me to find some women to achieve immortality with. It would be abnormal for me to find a group of men to achieve immortality," Jiang Chen said.

puff!

Li Qian laughed upon hearing this.

“Besides, I’m a man with feelings, and I don’t want my women to grow old and die in front of me,” Jiang Chen said.

“…” Li Qian fell silent.

“Of course, I’m not a magnanimous person either. My girlfriend’s family members are healthy and live long lives,” Jiang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Li Qian understood what Jiang Chen meant.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen took Li Qian to Yanjing.

……

In a hotel suite in Yanjing.

"Are you satisfied now?" Song Qian rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen approached her today, she refused.

But Jiang Chen completely ignored her refusal and directly took her to a hotel near Shuxiang Yayuan.

"Satisfied? How could that be? Only a few times?" Why does Jiang Chen like playing the role of Cao Cao? It's because people like Song Qian, who attract Cao Cao, give him indescribable feelings.

"You...you're so young." Of all the words she wanted to say, Song Qian could only say one in the end.

“You’re young too.” In Jiang Chen’s opinion, he was actually older than Song Qian, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Song Qian was young: “At least to me, she feels about the same age as those seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls. No, you understand what I need better.”

"Seventeen or eighteen? You're such a beast!" Song Qian only knew that Shi Yi was Jiang Chen's girlfriend before, but after having a relationship with Jiang Chen, she realized that Jiang Chen was not what she thought at all.

"What's wrong with that? I like it, that's all that matters." For women like Song Qian, being straightforward is the best approach, because they all know what they want.

"..." Song Qian.

Song Qian was speechless.

Because she had no right to say anything to Jiang Chen.

She understood that Jiang Chen was with her not because he liked her, but simply to fulfill his needs.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. It's a rare opportunity for me to come to Yanjing, so let's get down to business," Jiang Chen said.

Song Qian naturally understood what this so-called "doing the right thing" meant.

However, since things had come to this point, Song Qian naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Jiang Chen opened a door for her...

"Hehe!" Jiang Chen began to enjoy himself again.

Song Qian is very knowledgeable, and Jiang Chen is very satisfied.

……

For Jiang Chen, the most important reason for coming to Yanjing from Bincheng was not only to have in-depth exchanges with Song Qian, Cheng Lu and others about company matters, but also to listen to Lin Sa's work report.

To be precise, it was a report on the acquisition of Grant Thornton.

Founded in 1924, Grant Thornton was originally comprised of several independent accounting firms and has since become one of the world's largest accounting firms. With a global presence, it provides audit, tax, and advisory services to clients across various industries. Grant Thornton is renowned for its professionalism and global network of services.

It is a company dedicated to helping clients solve complex business problems, improve performance, and achieve sustainable development.

While having Lin Sa manage Marriott Accounting Services, Jiang Chen also acquired Grant Thornton.

Six months have passed since then.

Lin Sa finally brought good news.

"...Mr. Jiang, this is the detailed acquisition process of Grant Thornton," Lin Sa concluded.

“That’s right, the next step is the merger of Grant Thornton and Marriott Accounting Services,” Jiang Chen said.

“President Jiang, having Marriott Accounting Services partner with Grant Thornton might not be a good thing for Marriott Accounting Services,” Lin Sa couldn’t help but say.

The gap between Marriott Accounting Services and Grant Thornton is too large.

In auditing, Grant Thornton provides independent and objective opinions to ensure that clients' financial statements comply with relevant regulations and accounting standards. In taxation, Grant Thornton's professional team provides clients with services such as tax planning, compliance consulting, and tax dispute resolution to help them optimize their tax structure and reduce tax risks. In consulting, Grant Thornton covers multiple areas including strategy, operations, human resources, and technology, providing customized solutions to help clients achieve business growth and innovation.

In summary, Grant Thornton provides clients with comprehensive, high-quality accounting, tax, and advisory services through its professional team, global service network, and extensive industry experience. Whether for large corporations or small and medium-sized enterprises, Grant Thornton offers tailored solutions to help clients meet challenges and achieve business success.

What does Marriott Accounting Services offer?
It's simply a merger of several accounting firms. Its current business scope and capabilities are nowhere near those of Grant Thornton.

"Are you thinking about whether the company's future structure will be primarily based on Marriott Accounting Services or Grant Thornton?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes.” Lin Sa nodded.

“Don’t forget, Grant Thornton’s business is mostly overseas. Marriott Accounting Services, on the other hand, operates in mainland China, specifically in the north, or more precisely, in Beijing and the surrounding area. So, in my opinion, your worries are unnecessary.” Jiang Chen’s meaning was simple: Marriott Accounting Services is the head office, and it is divided into domestic and international operations. The domestic operations are structured around Marriott Accounting Services, while the international operations are structured around Grant Thornton.

Finally, Jiang Chen said, "The integration I'm referring to is the integration of resources. It's best to have unified coordination in areas such as resource sharing..."

After hearing Jiang Chen's ultimate goal in integrating the two companies, Lin Sa said, "President Jiang, I understand what you mean. I will definitely do a good job in integrating the two companies."

“Then let’s discuss the integration in detail,” Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Lin Sa naturally had no objections.

During the more than one-hour discussion, Jiang Chen and Lin Sa finally confirmed the merger plan and details between Marriott Accounting Services and Grant Thornton.

"Lin Sa, how is your study abroad in the United States going?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Very good." Lin Sa then recounted her experience studying in the United States.

Because she had to manage Marriott Accounting Services while studying abroad, Lin Sa put in a lot of effort. It was for this reason that Lin Sa underwent a qualitative change.

"As long as you balance your studies and career, you will definitely achieve great things in the future," Jiang Chen encouraged Lin Sa.

Lin Sa smiled, but her eyes were filled with determination.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen left Marriott Accounting Services.

"We have free time for the rest of the day, where should we go first...?"

Jiang Chen walked towards the parking lot while thinking.

Just as Jiang Chen reached the parking lot, he came face to face with someone walking from the other side.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen looked up and a hint of surprise flashed in his 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 one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.]

"One hundred mid-grade spirit stones?"

"This is the 20th time I've checked in and received 100 mid-grade spirit stones."

"After refining a low-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 10 points, constitution increases by 15 points, and agility increases by 5 points. After refining a mid-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 130 points, constitution increases by 180 points, and agility increases by 60 points."

"This reward is good, it's just a pity that the number of sign-ins is too small."

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

The weekend, a character from "The Master of Ex-Human Reconciliation".

In the drama, she is He Zhouyi's half-sister. After experiencing the emotional turmoil between Pang Wei and Tina, she develops a longing for the position of "Reconciliation Master". After joining the "Reconciliation Master" agency, she and Li Duantong gradually fall in love.

"The Master of Ex-Husbandry"?

"The plot of 'The Master of Reconciliation' begins in 17."

Weekend is a wealthy urban heiress with anime/manga enthusiasts and a keen sense of fashion, possessing adorable and endearing qualities that make her a healing goddess. As the leader of the Composite Alliance, she often appears in diverse styles and serves as the core executor within the team.

In the case of impersonating Lin Youyang's girlfriend, Zhou Mo used the role of a wicked sister-in-law, employing exaggerated facial expressions and unconventional methods such as falsely claiming pregnancy to persuade the client to reconcile. During the mediation of a famous painting fraud case, she confronted the perpetrators with a stun gun and, after being taken hostage, became a key figure in resolving the case.

At the beginning of the weekend, she follows Li Duan as his assistant, displaying her wit and courage in several crisis situations (such as being injured during the pursuit of the painting), gradually triggering a change in the male protagonist's feelings. Through playful interactions while pretending to be his boyfriend and their tacit cooperation in handling crises, she eventually establishes a romantic relationship with Li Duan.

"What kind of agency is this, a breakup agency?"

"This TV series is truly bizarre."

Jiang Chen was not familiar with the TV series "The Master of Reconciliation".

However, being able to sign in and receive rewards is already pretty good.

After looking away, Jiang Chen walked into the parking lot.

Soon, Jiang Chen drove away from the parking lot.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen arrived in front of a shopping mall.

"Jiang Chen?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to enter the mall, a voice came from the side.
