Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1652 "Returning Home" - Chen Ruonan and Zhou Nannan's Persistence
"Very special?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.

“He said he and Shiyi knew each other in a past life. He said he liked Shiyi in his past life, but they couldn’t be together for some reason. But in this life, those troubles are gone, so they can be together,” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Past life?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, isn’t it special?” Hong Xiaoyu said with a smile.

“It’s quite special. By the way, what’s this person’s name?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Zhou Shengchen,” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Zhou Shengchen?" Jiang Chen chuckled softly.

Zhou Shengchen? A past life?

Clearly, just as he had guessed.

Has the plot of "One Life, One Love" been revised?

Shi Yi followed him, so Zhou Shengchen regained his memories of his past life?

It seems Zhou Shengchen and Shi Yi have quite a bit of entanglement.

Shi Yi has already fully recovered her memories of her past life, now it's Zhou Shengchen's turn?

Of course, these are all just Jiang Chen's guesses. Whether they are true or not, he doesn't know.

However, even if it were true, he wouldn't care at all.

Shi Yi is already his woman.

Even if Zhou Shengchen regains his memories of his past life, it's impossible for him to be with Shi Yi.

"Are you worried?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

"What do I have to worry about? Shi Yi is my person, do you think she would abandon me?" Jiang Chen asked back.

“Why is it impossible?” Hong Xiaoyu asked.

"Reason?" Jiang Chen glanced at Hong Xiaoyu.

“You’re a scumbag,” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"What's wrong with that? It's a mutual thing, and Shi Yi can't live without me now," Jiang Chen said.

"Tch." Hong Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.

“Every woman who is with me cannot live without me.” Jiang Chen’s tone was full of confidence.

"Is that possible?" Hong Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Chen with suspicion.

“You’re an outsider, so you don’t understand.” Jiang Chen glanced at Hong Xiaoyu and said jokingly, “If you dare, you can give it a try.”

"Give it a try?" Hong Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding Jiang Chen's meaning.

"Outsiders become insiders..." Jiang Chen didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning he conveyed was quite clear.

“You…” Hong Xiaoyu understood what Jiang Chen meant and couldn’t help but glare at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen chuckled softly and focused intently on driving.

Hong Xiaoyu glanced at Jiang Chen from time to time.

"Xiaoyu, why are you looking at me like that? You don't actually like me, do you?" Jiang Chen laughed.

"Me, interested in you? Is that even possible?" Hong Xiaoyu almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Jiang Chen smiled and continued driving.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen parked his car in front of an office building.

"Xiaoyu, how about we grab a bite to eat together later?" Jiang Chen said to Hong Xiaoyu.

“Okay, I can finish the work before midnight.” Hong Xiaoyu did not refuse, but said, “Send me the address in a bit.”

"No problem." Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

After watching Hong Xiaoyu get out of the car and leave, Jiang Chen drove away.

In Guangzhou, Jiang Chen has neither a large nor a small number of businesses.

Now that Hong Xiaoyu has left, it's a good time to go and take a look.

Around noon, Jiang Chen drove to a restaurant.

However, as soon as Jiang Chen stepped into spring, he saw a man and a woman walking towards him from the opposite direction.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the two of them, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received twelve Qiankun Yiqi Pots.]

"Twelve Qiankun-One-Pot?"

This is the second time I've checked in.

"According to the system's description, this Qiankun Yiqi Pot is a pot equivalent to a seventh-grade weapon."

"However, unlike weapons, this Qiankun Qi Pot is used for cooking."

According to the system description, the Qiankun Yiqi Pot has a built-in one cubic meter of space, which can stew up to a thousand kilograms of meat at once. In addition, the Qiankun Yiqi Pot can also change its shape.

You can easily switch between stew pot, frying pan, steamer, etc.

In addition, the Qiankun Yiqi Pot increases cooking speed by 100%, enhances food freshness by 50%, has an automatic adjustment function to ensure food is not overcooked, and increases the pot temperature by 200%, enabling the cooking of higher-level foods.

It also has the effect of locking in spiritual energy, which can protect the spiritual energy in the ingredients to the greatest extent, thereby improving the quality of spiritual cuisine.

"Good stuff."

"There aren't many people in the Jiang family's culinary team right now, and it's too troublesome to deal with spiritual materials."

"But with this Qiankun Yiqi Pot, things will be much easier."

"According to the system's introduction, only martial artists at the Martial King realm can use this Qiankun Qi Pot."

"It seems the chefs at Daming Palace need to intensify their training."

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

Chen Ruonan, a character in "Returning to the Boat".

In the drama, she is Chen Junli's younger sister, but she always contradicts what Chen Junli says. She is cheerful, kind, enthusiastic, energetic, and full of positive energy. She actively participates in school activities and accompanies and supports He Jiahao, He Jiashu, and others. As a support team member, she helps He Jiahao with his training.

"The plot of 'Returning to the Boat' begins in 25 years."

"It's 17 now, and there are still eight years until the start of the story."

In the drama, Chen Ruonan is He Jiahao's classmate and the youngest daughter of the Chen family. She has a distinct personality and is often regarded as a "bad girl" by her classmates, but she secretly develops feelings for He Jiahao and lends him a helping hand on many occasions. During the dragon boat training camp, she serves as the drummer. When faced with gender discrimination and provocation from her teammates, she insists on participating with an indomitable attitude, demonstrating her resilience.

After the Xiqiao Village dragon boat team wins the battle, the villagers gather at the ancestral hall to celebrate. He Jiashu and He Jiahao, the brothers, reconcile, and He Jiashu returns to the He family and is included in the family genealogy. However, Chen Ruonan, as a supporting character, does not have her personal ending (such as her romantic storyline or future whereabouts) further developed in the plot. She is only shown participating in group activities.

"Based on the timeline, Chen Ruonan should be around sixteen years old now."

"She's not that old..."

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the person next to Chen Ruonan.

Chen Junli.

In the drama, he is the heir of the Chen family. He sees He Jiahao, the heir of the He family and a classmate, as a formidable rival, but he will also lend a helping hand to him in crucial moments. He and his rebellious younger sister are like bickering lovers, but he loves her very much. Although he is a beneficiary of the clan's existing interests, he has his own set of principles and values.

Clearly, Chen Ruonan and her companion were also there for a meal.

That makes sense, though. The restaurant he chose wasn't exactly high-end, and it's quite normal for Chen Junli and Chen Ruonan to eat at such a place in Guangzhou.

"I don't know if I'll ever meet him again."

A thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, and then he walked into the restaurant.

In the restaurant's private room, Jiang Chen only waited for fifteen minutes before the door was pushed open.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw Hong Xiaoyu.

However, Jiang Chen also saw the people behind Hong Xiaoyu.

Zhou Nannan.

Jiang Chen never expected to run into Zhou Nannan here.

When Jiang Chen saw Zhou Nannan, Zhou Nannan also saw Jiang Chen.

At this moment, disbelief was also evident in her eyes.

Before coming here, she never expected to see Jiang Chen here.

“Hong Xiaoyu, Zhou Nannan.” Jiang Chen stood up with a smile.

“Jiang Chen, I brought Nan Nan to dinner. You don’t mind, do you?” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"No, I won't." Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't mind.

After all, now that he's in Guangzhou, he's bound to rekindle his old romance with Zhou Nannan.

After the two women sat down, Jiang Chen called the waiter to order.

Boiled prawns, grilled king crab, Boston lobster, bread crab...

"Xiaoyu, how did your business deal go?" Jiang Chen asked Hong Xiaoyu while slowly taking Zhou Nannan's hand under the table.

Zhou Nannan's hand trembled, and she struggled, but she couldn't break free and could only let Jiang Chen hold her.

“With me in charge, success is guaranteed,” Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Congratulations."

Jiang Chen smiled and started chatting with Hong Xiaoyu.

However, while chatting with Hong Xiaoyu, Jiang Chen did not forget Zhou Nannan.

Of course, Jiang Chen was also very careful in order to prevent Hong Xiaoyu from discovering his relationship with Zhou Nannan.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and the other two walked out of the restaurant.

"Xiaoyu, are you going over now?" From their conversation, Jiang Chen knew that Hong Xiaoyu still needed to discuss business this afternoon.

"It's still early, I'd like to go to the hotel to rest for a bit," Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Go to the hotel? Is it far from here?" Jiang Chen asked.

“The hotel I booked is about half an hour away,” Hong Xiaoyu replied after thinking for a moment. “It’s close to Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace. If you don’t mind, you can go to Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace to rest for a while,” Jiang Chen suggested.

“Okay.” Hong Xiaoyu had stayed overnight at Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace before, so he naturally had no objections when he heard Jiang Chen’s words.

"Zhou Nannan, what about you?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhou Nannan.

"I have to go to work in an hour," Zhou Nannan said. "I'll take a taxi to the company."

"Let's go together, I'm going to Hengye Bank too."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'll take Xiaoyu to Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace first, and then we'll go to Hengye Bank together."

Zhou Nannan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Let's go," Jiang Chen said.

A moment later, Jiang Chen drove to Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace.

"Xiaoyu, you go up by yourself," Jiang Chen said to Hong Xiaoyu.

“Okay.” Hong Xiaoyu had no objections.

After Hong Xiaoyu left, Jiang Chen looked at Zhou Nannan.

Zhou Nannan blushed slightly and dared not look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen started the car and left Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace.

However, Jiang Chen did not go directly to the Hengye Bank branch where Zhou Nannan worked, but instead drove to an overpass.

There's no one here.

"Jiang Chen, what are you trying to do..." Zhou Nannan's voice was a little nervous.

"It's not easy to meet you, so of course..." Jiang Chen came to the back seat.

Zhou Nannan looked at Jiang Chen without saying a word, and when Jiang Chen reached out his hand, she threw herself into his arms.

Around 1 p.m., Jiang Chen drove Zhou Nannan to the Hengye Bank branch.

"Jiang Chen, are you going to see our leader?" Zhou Nannan asked while straightening her clothes.

“No, that was just an excuse,” Jiang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nannan glared fiercely at Jiang Chen.

She knew Jiang Chen had ill intentions.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"I just missed you, didn't I? It was an accident that Xiaoyu asked you to have dinner with us today, but even without her, I would have looked for you." Jiang Chen didn't care about Zhou Nannan's eye roll.

"..." Zhou Nannan.

Zhou Nannan sighed helplessly.

She also wanted Jiang Chen to stay away from her.

After all, she broke up with her boyfriend because she felt he was cheating on her with two men.

Now Jiang Chen...

Being with Jiang Chen now, isn't this just repeating the same old mistakes?
This is not what she wants.

only……

"Nan Nan, Xiao Yu just doesn't know about your relationship with me, but she does know that I have many girlfriends. It's not a big deal if she finds out about your relationship with me one day." Jiang Chen was giving her a heads-up.

In Jiang Chen's view, if Shi Yi were to find out about his relationship with Zhou Nannan one day, Hong Xiaoyu would probably find out as well.

"No, our relationship can't be exposed," Zhou Nannan said quickly.

"I'll listen to you." Jiang Chen didn't care about Zhou Nannan's words at all. In his opinion, Shi Yi and the others would find out sooner or later.

“Jiang Chen, I’m warning you, if you expose our relationship, I won’t see you.” Zhou Nannan’s attitude was firm.

"Okay." Jiang Chen understood Zhou Nannan's temperament and knew that Zhou Nannan was serious.

Zhou Nannan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "I'm going to work."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

After watching Zhou Nannan leave, Jiang Chen drove away.

"How about we go to Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace to rest for a while?"

Jiang Chen thought of Hong Xiaoyu at Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace.

However, so much time has passed now, and perhaps Hong Xiaoyu has already left by the time I return to Qiaoxin Huiyue Terrace.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen decided to go to the mall to buy some things.

After driving to a super mall, Jiang Chen started browsing.

Although his shopping habits differed from those of the women, Jiang Chen's spending was similar to that of the super-rich.

Jiang Chen spent two hours in the mall, spending 20 million yuan, before leaving.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Jiang Chen tossed his bag into the car and then stored it in his spatial ring.

A moment later, Jiang Chen drove away from the parking lot.

However, just as Jiang Chen drove away from the parking lot, two women walked in from outside the parking lot.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

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 stacks of intermediate-to-high-grade talisman paper.]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 10,000 Wild Goose Feather Waist Knives.]

"Ten stacks of intermediate to high-grade talisman paper?"

"This is talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate and advanced talismans."

"Besides the fifty stacks of intermediate and high-level talisman papers that I received as a special reward for signing in, this is the thirteenth time I've signed in."

"Spirit Concealment Talisman... These are all mid-to-high-level talismans."

"Beginner-level talismans correspond to first-rate martial artists, intermediate-level talismans correspond to innate martial artists, advanced-level talismans correspond to grandmaster martial artists, intermediate-level talismans correspond to great grandmasters, and intermediate-level talismans correspond to Martial Kings."

"Intermediate and high-level talismans correspond to the Martial Emperor realm."

"Ten thousand wild goose feather waist knives?"

"A third-grade weapon, the Goose Feather Waist Saber?"

"This is the nineteenth 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."

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

Tian Guo is a character in the TV series "Special Forces: Fire Phoenix".

In the drama, she is a search guide and main attacker for the Fire Phoenix Special Forces, codenamed "Happy Fruit." Originally a female soldier in the cooking squad of the chemical defense regiment, she is a playful and lovely girl, innocent and lively. With a heart full of Mulan's desire to join the army, upon hearing the news that the superiors were going to establish the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces, she volunteered to participate in the Fire Phoenix selection.

Qu Bi Azhuo is a character in the TV series "Special Forces: Fire Phoenix".

In the drama, she plays a firepower specialist in the Fire Phoenix Special Forces, codenamed "Shexiang," a corporal. Formerly a basic parachute instructor in the Army Aviation Corps, she is the female squad leader of a male soldier's platoon and a member of the Yi ethnic group. At the age of six, she was rescued by Lei Zhan after a flood struck her hometown. She has harbored a secret crush on Lei Zhan ever since participating in special training.

"I saw Ye Cunxin and two others in the United States, and Shen Lanni and two others in Yanjing. I didn't expect to see Tian Guo and two others here."

"That's really lucky."

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly.

However, all you need to do with these two people is sign in.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen drove up to a company.

Click.

As soon as Jiang Chen's car stopped, the door opened and Hong Xiaoyu got in.

"Xiaoyu, judging from your expression, the negotiations went very well today?" Jiang Chen said, looking at Hong Xiaoyu.

"Of course, don't you know who I am?" Hong Xiaoyu said smugly.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chen asked.

Hong Xiaoyu glared at Jiang Chen.

"Are you angry?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, I'm not angry at all. What's there for me to be angry about?" Hong Xiaoyu was genuinely not angry; she was just a little dissatisfied with Jiang Chen.

"What are your plans next?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Of course, I'm going back to Shanghai to continue working." Hong Xiaoyu glanced at Jiang Chen and asked, "Jiang Chen, what about you? When are you going back to Shanghai?"

"I'm afraid I won't be going back to Shanghai. I'm going to England next." Although Jiang Chen could fly from Shanghai to England on his sword, there was no need for him to return to Shanghai with Hong Xiaoyu.

"Going to England? You're going to England next?" A hint of surprise flashed in Hong Xiaoyu's eyes.

“Yes, I have some business to take care of in England.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Next is December. With things mostly settled in England, there's not much left to do. He just needs to wait in Shanghai for his trip to the Fourth World. Speaking of which, after so long, he really does miss the Fourth World.

"You're really busy." Hong Xiaoyu wasn't surprised. After all, she often had to travel for work, even though she was running her own studio. Jiang Chen, who managed the Xingchen Group, probably traveled for work all the time.

"There's nothing we can do about it, but business trips can also be a form of travel. It's actually not bad," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Jiang Chen." Hong Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Did you find those girlfriends while you were on business trips?"
