Chapter 573 0561 [Old Ancestor Chen is Tang Sanzang's Flesh]

Chen Guiliang took Bian Guanyue for a check-up at Peking University Third Hospital.

The special needs clinic offers one-on-one service from specialists and a separate waiting area, so you don't have to worry about the news spreading everywhere.

I'm almost two months pregnant.

Bian Guanyue can be quite oblivious at times; she only realized something was wrong when her period was late.

"Let's skip the wedding," Chen Guiliang said.

Hearing this, Bian Guanyue felt both happy and disappointed.

Of course, she was happy because Chen Guiliang took the initiative to propose marriage. She had always been very humble in this relationship and didn't even dare to bring up marriage.

As for disappointment, which girl doesn't dream of having a grand wedding?
In reality, the more successful a person is, the more low-key their wedding tends to be.

Unlike those celebrities who are afraid that no one will know they got married.

Zhou Libo's wedding was the most outrageous one. He invited a large number of celebrities under the guise of charity, only to find out it was a wedding when the guests arrived.

Since we're all in the entertainment industry, it's not appropriate for us to just walk away.

Not only did Cheng Long and others participate, but Zhang Chaoyang was also tricked into going.

As the host, Cui Yongyuan couldn't help but launch into a barrage of sarcastic remarks at Zhou Libo, drawing enthusiastic applause from the entire audience.

Chen Guiliang said, "Have your dad ask someone to choose an auspicious date so we can register and get our marriage certificate. Let's go early, so it won't be difficult to take photos while you're heavily pregnant."

"Why don't you get a prenuptial agreement?" Bian Guanyue asked.

Chen Guiliang said, "There's no need. I trust you."

Upon hearing this, Bian Guanyue immediately smiled, thinking sweetly, "Be careful, or I'll take a share of your property later."

“You can name your desired amount now,” Chen Guiliang said.

"Tch, I don't want your stinking money!"

Bian Guanyue appeared arrogant, but in her heart she was thinking that it would be best to sort things out to avoid future suspicions and trouble.

In two more years, Dongzi will also get married.

The stocks and related rights held by Dongzi are, of course, premarital property.

But Dongzi did something even more impressive: he converted his salary and bonuses for the next ten years into JD.com stock worth 26.5 billion yuan. His future salary also became premarital property…

“We still need to keep our assets separate,” Bian Guanyue said. “We know our own situation. But when news of our marriage spreads, your company shareholders will have to worry.”

Chen Guiliang asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Bian Guanyue nodded: "Besides having shares in Bailian Technology and my sister's company, I've also made some investments with you over the past few years. I'll hire a lawyer another day to have all of these assets notarized as prenuptial property. Your assets will also be notarized."

Chen Guiliang thought for a moment and said, "Before the property notarization, I will transfer my shares in Bailian Technology and your cousin's company to you. I will also give you 1% of Youke shares. Don't rush to refuse; consider these as betrothal gifts."

Bian Guanyue laughed and said, "It feels like we're talking business."

Chen Guiliang held her hand, feeling a little guilty, because he had indeed been testing her just now.

He is no longer the chivalrous Chen of yesteryear.

My thoughts are no longer pure.

Perhaps to make amends for something, Chen Guiliang chose two times to subtly reveal the news of his marriage to Tao Xue and Xu Fengyin.

His relationship with these two women remained unclear.

Since you can't provide them with a home, you should at least give them the right to know. If they really can't accept it, then break up peacefully. If they can accept it, then continue living like this.

As compensation, we will give them a small share of Youke shares when we find a suitable time.

Chen Guiliang invited Xie Yang to his cousin's place for drinks, then blew a smoke ring and said, "I'm getting married. Come over for a drink in a while. We won't have a wedding ceremony, just a private gathering with two tables."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xie Yang coughed repeatedly, whether from choking or from the spiciness of the chili peppers, it was hard to tell.

Xie Yang hesitated for a moment: "Premarital property... you know?"

“I will handle it,” Chen Guiliang said. “It’s just a bit bittersweet; I’m about to start a family in the blink of an eye.”

Xie Yang said, "Marriage is fine too."

Chen Guiliang asked, "And you?"

Xie Yang said, "We broke up."

"They broke up again? Why?"

"There's no reason why, if it's not right, just break up. Anyway, I'm still young, having fun for a few more years is not bad. I've figured it out, with women, you can't give them your true feelings."

"Have you been heartbroken again?"

"What do you mean 'again'? I was the one who initiated the breakup. She's the one who should be heartbroken. Last week she even called me, crying and begging me to get back together. I blocked her phone number and WeChat."

Chen Guiliang did not ask any further questions.

In the other timeline, Xie Yang didn't have such a rich romantic history. He took the civil service exam, got married, worked, and settled down. His wife was of average appearance and gained a lot of weight after giving birth, which she never managed to lose.

Xie Yang may be setting his sights too high now.

The so-called high standards here not only refer to being picky about appearance and figure, but also require a kind and understanding personality and fidelity in love.

It's easy to find something that meets one or two conditions, but where do you find something that meets all of them?
After downing half a jin of Wuliangye liquor, Xie Yang suddenly asked, "Do you think Zhou Jing will attend this year's class reunion?"

"Grass!"

Chen Guiliang couldn't help but complain, "You're still thinking about it?"

Xie Yang shook his head: "It's not that I want anything with her, I just really look forward to seeing her. You know what I mean?" Chen Guiliang laughed: "Let her see how awesome you are now, and regret not accepting your confession at our high school farewell dinner?"

"I had that thought for a moment, but actually my emotions were more complicated," Xie Yang said.

Chen Guiliang commented: "What you want to see again is not Zhou Jing, but your youth, your high school days."

"Snapped!"

Xie Yang slammed his fist on the table: "That's exactly what I mean!"

"Brother, Brother Yang."

Chen Guirong personally brought in a plate of stir-fried snails: "Have you guys gotten a little tipsy? You even dropped your chopsticks on the floor."

Chen Guiliang said, "Your brother Yang is feeling melancholy."

"Don't listen to his nonsense," Xie Yang said. "Xiao Rong, want to check out the nightclubs in Beijing? I'll take you sometime. There are tons of pretty girls there!"

Chen Guirong exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Chen Guiliang kicked Xie Yang: "Stop corrupting the kids!"

Xie Yang said, "He's a kid? He's half a head taller than me. Xiao Rong, you have a lot of beautiful women in your shop, so tell me honestly if you've been sleeping with the girls right next to you."

Chen Guirong scratched his head: "It's not exactly like dating someone from the same neighborhood, it's just a proper relationship."

Xie Yang warned, "Be very careful, don't let yourself be fooled by a woman."

Chen Guirong laughed and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry. I'm just a cook who only graduated from junior high school. Apart from my decent looks, what other advantages do I have? The only reason that beautiful women are willing to date me is because of this restaurant and because the richest man in China is my brother. I know that perfectly well."

Xie Yang gave a thumbs up and praised, "You're definitely a wise man. Sit down and join your brothers for drinks and snails."

Chen Guiliang reminded, "Drink less, you have to attend the Mobile Internet Conference tomorrow."

Xie Yang said, "The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is just a dinner party."

……

The Global Mobile Internet Conference was actually organized and carried out by Lei Jun and his team.

Held annually in China in May, it is attended by Chen Guiliang, Xiao Ma Ge, and others.

It is held annually in the United States in October, and figures like Zuckerberg make a personal appearance.

Starting this year, major internet companies from both China and the US have been sending representatives to the conference. For example, executives from companies like Facebook and Twitter flew in for this year's Beijing conference.

The scale of the business has been growing larger and larger.

Even the VIP welcome dinner had over a hundred people and was turned into a buffet-style cocktail party.

Suddenly, a number of beautiful women appeared, dressed in exquisite evening gowns and head-to-toe in designer brands. You wouldn't know unless you asked, but they turned out to be female entrepreneurs, executives, and investors.

"Where do you find so many beautiful businesswomen?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Lei Jun said, "The Great Wall Club will be responsible for organizing the event, but I won't participate in the specific activities. Besides, having more beautiful women isn't a bad thing; it can liven up the atmosphere of the party."

He had barely said a few words when a foreigner approached him; it was Armin Zufion, Facebook’s head of strategic investments.

“Mr. Chen, I heard that WhatsApp is currently short of funds?” Zufanong said.

Chen Guiliang studied the man's business card: "The man's surname is very rare."

Zufanong said, "I am of Persian descent."

Chen Guiliang suddenly realized: "Can you drink alcohol?"

Zufon raised his glass: "I'm drinking grape juice."

"I see. I'm actually quite interested in Persian culture." Chen Guiliang started rambling.

As the conversation went on, a Google representative arrived.

Google and Facebook have been vying for Wates lately. Their offers are getting increasingly higher, and they're practically fighting tooth and nail.

The more anxious they were, the less willing Wates' founder, Sequoia Capital, and Chen Guiliang were to talk about it.

Because Wates' user base is surging, the longer you wait, the more expensive it becomes.

Aside from domestic bigwigs like Pony Ma, the most attention-grabbing people at the party were executives from Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

At this moment, people were surprised to find that the investment vice presidents of Google and Facebook were chatting with Chen Guiliang and wouldn't leave.

Just like Chen Guiliang was accompanied by two foreign bodyguards, they followed him when he went to get food.

"What's the situation over there?" Cao Guowei asked Xiao Ma.

Little Ma said, "Whats."

If Chen Guiliang hadn't made the initial investment, Tencent would have also been eyeing WhatsApp at this point.

In another timeline, Tencent, Facebook, and Google vied for WhatsApp, dragging out negotiations for two long years. Ultimately, Facebook was forced to offer 11% of its market capitalization (stock + cash) to acquire WhatsApp.

Cao Guowei exclaimed in surprise, "Whats is Chen Guiliang's?"

"He was an investor in the seed round, Series A, and Series B rounds, and is the second largest shareholder of Whats," said Pony Ma.

"Damn it!" Cao Guowei couldn't help but swear.

Those so-called female entrepreneurs, investors, and executives who had infiltrated the party couldn't help but glance at Chen Guiliang frequently, no matter what they were doing.

They had already found out the identities of the two foreigners, and seeing that the two foreigners kept pestering Chen Guiliang, their admiration for Chen Guiliang immediately reached a new peak.

To be honest, they would even pay extra to have a soul-searching conversation with Chen Guiliang.

Chen Guiliang doesn't have to give anything; just being able to sleep with him for one night is something they can boast about.
