Chapter 1651 Taking Down Zou Yu
A coffee shop in Shenzhen.

"Zou Yu, am I not late?" Jiang Chen sat down in front of Zou Yu.

"Mr. Jiang, you've arrived just in time. I just got here too," Zou Yu replied.

"That's good." Jiang Chen smiled and beckoned the waiter to bring coffee.

Soon, the waiter brought over the coffee that Jiang Chen had ordered.

After taking a sip of coffee, Jiang Chen looked at Zou Yu.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the acquisition contract for Jiyang Optoelectronics." Zou Yu handed a document to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen opened the file and began to read it.

Jiyang Optoelectronics mainly produces LED backlights, hardware accessories for electronic products (slide rails, shielding series, iron frames, etc.), plastic products, and high-precision mold manufacturing, suitable for mobile phones, MP3/4 players, MIDs, vehicle displays, instruments and meters and their supporting products.

Long before, when Jiang Chen met Zou Yu, he had put Zou Yu in charge of acquiring Jiyang Optoelectronics. Zou Yu encountered many problems during the acquisition, and Jiang Chen gave him a lot of advice.

And today, the acquisition of Jiyang Optoelectronics has finally been completed.

"Zou Yu, you've worked hard," Jiang Chen said.

“This is my job, it’s not hard work,” Zou Yu said.

"I'll transfer the relevant fees to you as soon as possible," Jiang Chen smiled and said, "But Zou Yu, are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"What kind of cooperation?" Zou Yu asked.

“Come to my company,” Jiang Chen replied.

"Sorry, I'm doing well at the firm now," Zou Yu declined.

"Okay, I respect your choice." Jiang Chen didn't press the matter further. Instead, he changed the subject and started chatting with Zou Yu.

Jiang Chen wanted to pursue Zou Yu.

Last time when Jiang Chen was in Sanya with Li Qian, although he had visited Shenzhen, he only interacted with Liang Shuang and others, and did not meet Zou Yu.

Therefore, Jiang Chen cherished the opportunity to see Zou Yu at this moment.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen took Zou Yu's hand and said, "Zou Yu, let's go for a walk together."

While a private room in a coffee shop is nice, it is still a coffee shop after all.

Zou Yu looked at Jiang Chen and slowly nodded.

After the two left the coffee shop, Zou Yu said, "President Jiang, let's take a walk on this sidewalk."

"Okay." Jiang Chen had no objections.

At that moment, Jiang Chen and Zou Yu walked and talked.

This is a rare moment of time alone for just the two of us.

As they left the coffee shop, Jiang Chen took Zou Yu's hand.

Zou Yu's hand only stiffened slightly, but she did not refuse.

This pleased Jiang Chen.

"Attorney Zou?"

Just as Jiang Chen and Zou Yu were chatting intimately, a voice came from the side.

"Du Xiaoyu?"

Zou Yu turned her head and looked on, quite surprised.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard what Zou Yu and the other person said, and then turned his head to look.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a low-level spirit boat.]

"A low-level spirit boat?"

"This is the thirteenth time I've checked in."

"The spirit boat is essentially a flying magical artifact."

"A low-level spirit boat is the lowest-level spirit boat."

“The low-level spirit boat is similar to a tower ship, with a length of twelve zhang (about 23 meters) and a width of one zhang and six chi (about 3.5 meters), and has three floors.”

"The low-level spirit boat is engraved with mirror light arrays all over its body. Not only does it have powerful defensive capabilities, it can also reflect all attacks below the mid-stage of the Martial God Realm."

"Most importantly, it also has a flight speed of 20,000 miles per hour."

"A day's flight consumes no more than one mid-grade spirit stone."

"This low-level spirit boat is quite fast."

"With this low-level spirit boat, exploring new continents in the Fourth World will be much less troublesome."

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

Du Xiaoyu is a character in "Green Waters and Lush Mountains with Smiling Faces".

In the drama, she plays a white-collar elite working for a foreign company who, at the peak of her career, chooses to retire and return to her hometown to establish a "glass workshop." She is cool and very stubborn, and her resilience moves Xu Han at a crucial moment. Decisive and independent, she has a deep affection for the "old craft" of glassmaking in her hometown. After resigning and returning home, she decides to start a glass workshop, but she cannot get the understanding and support of her family.

"Green Waters and Lush Mountains with Smiling Faces?"

"The story of 'Green Waters and Lush Mountains with Smiling Faces' begins 20 years ago."

“Du Xiaoyu…”

"When the story begins, Du Xiaoyu is twenty-eight years old."

"Du Xiaoyu is twenty-five years old now..."

In the drama, Du Xiaoyu was originally a white-collar elite in a foreign-funded enterprise, at the peak of her career. However, she has always had a deep affection for the traditional glassmaking craft of her hometown, and is determined to resign and return to her hometown to establish a glass workshop to pass on the craft.

With great enthusiasm and a fighting spirit, she devoted herself to the cultural heritage of "ancient glassmaking," ultimately not only revitalizing this ancient traditional craft but also realizing her own dream.

Initially, Du Xiaoyu couldn't get the understanding and support of her family; her father even tried every means to send her back to Beijing. However, Du Xiaoyu stubbornly persisted in pursuing her dream, and with the help of Xu Han and her childhood friend Shen Huange, she and her father staged a cat-and-mouse game of cat and mouse.

After a series of "confrontations" and hilarious events, the two generations finally reached a reconciliation, and Du Xiaoyu also gained the support and recognition of her family.

In the finale, Du Xiaoyu achieved success in both love and career. She not only lived a happy life with Xu Han, but also successfully revitalized the glass art and gained the understanding and support of her family.

"Du Xiaoyu in the drama maintains a decisive and independent personality throughout, which is the source of her confidence to return home and start her own business."

"However, Du Xiaoyu's decision to resign from her job in Shenzhen and start a business in her hometown may mean she won't be able to make it in Shenzhen."

"According to the situation in the drama, Du Xiaoyu's annual salary was 200,000 yuan when she worked in Shenzhen."

"Even with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan in Shenzhen, it's very difficult to buy a house."

Jiang Chen had bought many houses in Shenzhen, so he naturally understood how expensive houses were there. Du Xiaoyu, coming from a small town, would find it very difficult to buy a house or car in Shenzhen. If she married someone in Shenzhen, she might be taken advantage of.

“It’s me, Attorney Zou.” Du Xiaoyu approached Zou Yu.

Zou Yu knew Du Xiaoyu, so she quickly started chatting with her upon meeting her.

Jiang Chen watched Du Xiaoyu and Zou Yu from the side.

Although Du Xiaoyu and Jiang Chen were meeting for the first time, Xu Nuo, the general manager of Xingchen Cosmetics Company, and Du Xiaoyu were played by the same actress in their previous lives.

"Attorney Zou, I won't bother you any longer." Du Xiaoyu had already seen Jiang Chen, but she didn't recognize him, so she didn't say anything.

"Okay." Zou Yu understood when he saw Du Xiaoyu looking at Jiang Chen.

Du Xiaoyu smiled at Jiang Chen, then turned and left.

"You know her?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Du Xiaoyu's retreating figure.

In the drama, Du Xiaoyu is a cultural and creative designer who has been working for six years before the story begins.

“We had business dealings with Du Xiaoyu’s company before,” Zou Yu said.

"Mmm," Jiang Chen responded, continuing to hold Zou Yu's hand. "Shall we continue?"

"Okay." Zou Yu did not refuse.

Time passed as Jiang Chen and Zou Yu went on their date.

Dining, watching movies...

Under Jiang Chen's guidance, his relationship with Zou Yu also grew closer.

"Zou Yu, where do you live? I'd like to visit." Jiang Chen looked at Zou Yu with a smile.

Zou Yu did not answer, but walked forward.

Jiang Chen's heart moved.

Zou Yu didn't refuse? Does that mean she agreed?

With that thought in mind, Jiang Chen quickened his pace.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen followed Zou Yu to Longjin Garden.

Longjin Jiayuan is a mid-range residential community.

However, despite Jiang Chen's numerous visits to Shenzhen, this was his first time at Longjin Jiayuan.

Jiang Chen followed Zou Yu to her home.

Zou Yu's home is a house of about 80 square meters.

"Mr. Jiang, is this place too small for me?" Zou Yu asked Jiang Chen.

“It’s not small. You’ve done a great job being able to buy this house in Shenzhen.” Although Jiang Chen didn’t know the exact price of Longjin Jiayuan, it was a mid-range community, and this 80-square-meter house would cost at least several million yuan. Even with a loan, it meant that Zou Yu had paid a lot.

"President Jiang, please tell the truth," Zou Yu couldn't help but say.

"I'm telling the truth." Jiang Chen had also come from a place of hardship and understood the hearts of those at the bottom of society. However, understanding was one thing, but he would not sympathize with them or empathize with them.

After all, he is an extremely selfish person.

Zou Yu smiled, said nothing, and simply poured Jiang Chen a glass of water.

"Mr. Jiang, please have a seat. You should head back early." Zou Yu handed Jiang Chen a water glass. Jiang Chen took the glass, took a sip, and then placed it on the coffee table. "I'd like to go back tomorrow."

Zou Yu paused.

It's only afternoon.

Jiang Chen is going back tomorrow.

Are they planning to stay overnight?
Although she had prepared herself when she brought Jiang Chen back, it was only a tacit understanding between her and Jiang Chen. But now that Jiang Chen had spoken directly, it made her a little flustered.

"Yu'er."

Jiang Chen reached out and took Zou Yu's hand.

Zou Yu didn't dare to look at Jiang Chen at all.

With a forceful pull, Jiang Chen caused Zou Yu to fall towards him.

Amid Zou Yu's gasp, she fell into Jiang Chen's arms.

"Yu'er..."

Jiang Chen whispered in Zou Yu's ear, launching the final offensive.

Having known Zou Yu for so long, Jiang Chen had long wanted to win her over, which is why he didn't bring anyone else with him on this trip to Shenzhen.

Zou Yu looked at Jiang Chen, thinking about all the moments since they met.

Does she love Jiang Chen?
She didn't think so.

Because Jiang Chen was the one who initiated their relationship. She only agreed to it step by step for various reasons.

Zou Yu didn't know why she was like this.

If Jiang Chen knew, he would understand that this is what Zou Yu experienced in the drama.

This is a dilemma arising from class differences, family ethics, and choices regarding love.

The drama reveals the complex human nature and survival dilemmas in modern society through the conflict between Zou Yu's rationality and emotions.

However, this predicament is caused by Jiang Chen.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen carried Zou Yu to the bedroom.

Soon, indescribable sounds rang out.

……

Tianlu, OCT East.

"Where did you come from today, my husband?" Chen Yanqing asked as she leaned against the bed in her pajamas and saw Jiang Chen walk in.

“Longjin Residential Complex.” Jiang Chen lay down next to Chen Yanqing.

"Longjin Garden?" Chen Yanqing snuggled into Jiang Chen's arms, then sniffed the air. "Which sister did you go to see just now?"

"Have you heard of Zou Yu?" Jiang Chen asked.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yanqing asked, "Zou Yu? A lawyer from Qingtian Law Firm?"

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"I've seen her once before, she's a beauty. I never expected you to win her over," Chen Yanqing murmured.

“I just love beautiful women. Just like the first time I saw you in Jingkou, I wanted you,” Jiang Chen said.

"This is you." Chen Yanqing rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

When she first met Jiang Chen, she thought he was a gentleman.

"Isn't this good?" Jiang Chen whispered in Chen Yanqing's ear.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanqing couldn't help but pinch Jiang Chen.

"It hurts so much," Jiang Chen exclaimed dramatically.

"I'm afraid even if I attack with all my might, I won't be able to hurt you in the slightest," Chen Yanqing said.

“That’s different.” Jiang Chen’s hands started to wander. “However, once you come back from the Fourth World next time, you can return to Shanghai to rest every day.”

"You mean fly to Shanghai East Suburb No. 1?" Chen Yanqing asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "For us, the price of an invisibility talisman is not high. You can rest at No. 1 in the eastern suburbs of Shanghai, or you can cultivate at Daming Palace. Especially cultivate in the training tower."

“That’s true.” Chen Yanqing nodded, her eyes shining: “Before, we drove home, but from now on we can fly home on a sword.”

“I will use Temple Technology to solve the problem of ground-based surveillance,” Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Chen Yanqing believed in Jiang Chen's abilities.

Thinking about flying on a sword in the future, Chen Yanqing was filled with fantasies: "Flying on a sword like a female knight-errant, just thinking about it is awesome."

“That’s not a female knight-errant, but a fairy,” Jiang Chen said.

"Wouldn't that mean you'd have a lot of suitors?" Chen Yanqing asked with a smile as she looked at Jiang Chen.

"So what? Even if you have many suitors, the only one who belongs to you is me," Jiang Chen said.

“That’s true.” Chen Yanqing shifted into a more comfortable position in Jiang Chen’s arms. “We will always be yours.”

Because they might go to other worlds and meet even more powerful people, but Chen Yanqing didn't think any of those people could compare to Jiang Chen.

Moreover, neither she nor anyone else is the type to be fickle.

"Hmm." Jiang Chen looked at Chen Yanqing, and then...

……

Yangcheng.

Upon arriving in Guangzhou, Jiang Chen inspected the construction progress of the Xingchen Group branch in the western area of ​​the Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Pilot Zone.

The construction of the Xingchen Group branch in the western area of ​​the Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Pilot Zone has been underway for over a year, and the initial construction is almost complete. However, in Jiang Chen's opinion, the construction is still somewhat slow.

Of course, the reason Jiang Chen had this idea was because of the building cards he had.

It is indeed slower than the building cards obtained by checking in through the system.

However, seeing the construction of the Xingchen Group branch in the western area of ​​the Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Pilot Zone, Jiang Chen also thought of the magical constructions depicted in fantasy dramas.

Yes, that is, a Spirit Builder.

Jiang Chen remembered that in "The Great Ruler", Spirit Builders were those who built structures that could subtly communicate with heaven and earth, thereby enhancing one's fortune.

In other fantasy dramas, the Spirit Builder is the master who constructs celestial treasures and spiritual buildings.

They can construct various unique spiritual structures, imbuing them with a certain magical Daoist rhythm and rules. These structures give rise to unique celestial treasures and specialties. The rules within these spiritual structures are completely different from the outside world, as if they were independent realms, possessing miraculous effects—truly wondrous and beyond description.

The threshold to becoming a Spirit Builder is extremely high. Moreover, one needs to possess unique Spirit Builder techniques.

Becoming a Spirit Builder is extremely difficult, and every Spirit Builder is an incomparably noble being. They are respected by countless powerful individuals at all times.

Jiang Chen felt that if the Jiang family had a Spirit Builder in the future, building houses would be much easier.

"Is that why I haven't been able to sign in and get a building card for so long?"

"If I obtain the Spirit Builder's inheritance in the future, I won't need a building card."

Jiang Chen's mind began to wander.

In Jiang Chen's view, Spirit Builders might be a branch of Weapon Refiners.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen returned to Yangcheng city.

"Hmm? Hong Xiaoyu?"

Jiang Chen, who was driving, was quite surprised to see Hong Xiaoyu.

He didn't understand why Hong Xiaoyu was in Guangzhou.

However, he didn't think much of it and drove up to Hong Xiaoyu, honking his horn.

"Jiang Chen?" Hong Xiaoyu turned around and looked at him, surprised.

"Get in the car," Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Hong Xiaoyu didn’t stand on ceremony, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

Jiang Chen started the car.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing in Guangzhou?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

"I've come to check on the construction progress of Xingchen Group's branch," Jiang Chen said.

"A branch of Xingchen Group? The one in the western part of the Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Pilot Zone?" Hong Xiaoyu asked after thinking for a moment.

“Yes, that’s the one.” Jiang Chen nodded, then asked, “And you? What are you doing in Guangzhou? I remember your studio is in Shanghai, is it for business?”

"It's about business." Hong Xiaoyu nodded and said, "My studio has more and more fans now, and there are many different kinds of business. I also travel frequently for work."

"How does it compare to your previous job at the TV station?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Before, it was just a hobby; now it’s for my future. Besides, I can be a journalist myself, which I think is great.” Hong Xiaoyu spoke from the heart; her current life is something she never dared to imagine before.

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked Hong Xiaoyu up and down.

"Jiang Chen, what are you looking at?" Hong Xiaoyu felt uneasy under Jiang Chen's gaze.

“I think you’re becoming more and more like a strong woman. But…” Jiang Chen paused here.

"But what?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

“However, before this, those who pursued you were all young men, but now that you have the look of a strong woman, even those pot-bellied bosses will pursue you.” Of course, Jiang Chen also understood that with Hong Xiaoyu’s looks, even if she wasn’t a strong woman, she would still attract those bosses. But he said this now, naturally with other intentions.

"..." Hong Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Chen speechlessly.

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Jiang Chen, I think you should pay more attention to Shi Yi,” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Why?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Don’t you know that someone is pursuing Shi Yi?” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Shiyi is so beautiful, she's bound to attract attention whenever she goes out. It's only natural that she's pursued by others," Jiang Chen said dismissively.

“You seem quite confident, but…” Hong Xiaoyu’s voice held a hint of cunning: “However, as far as I know, the person pursuing Shiyi this time is very special…”
