Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

As Meng Yanchen pushed through the crowd, Tang Yu stood in the center of a flurry of exam papers, her hair dancing lightly in the breeze, the heat gently caressing her flushed neck.

"What are you doing running over here? Your forehead is covered in sweat."

"We were deskmates in high school." Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat, which was erratic from running and nervousness, but his voice still trembled involuntarily. "At least we could see each other every day. In college, won't it be difficult to even see you once?"

Tang Yu suddenly tiptoed, a movement that created a slight breeze. She leaned close to Meng Yanchen's ear, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Then you work hard to earn money, and we'll buy a house outside the school and see each other every day!"

The summer heat is unbearable, with the sun hanging high in the sky like a blazing umbrella.

Meng Yanchen felt as if Tang Yu before him was enveloped in a layer of golden light.

The fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, under the sunlight, resembled sparkling diamonds, shimmering with a captivating light.

The sweltering heat filled the space between them, making her voice soft and lingering, carrying a sweet undertone that seeped into Meng Yanchen's heart.

As Meng Yanchen slowly raised his fingertips to gently touch her sun-baked cheeks, the sound of tearing books in the distance was like a surging tide, one wave after another reaching its climax.

The students were expressing their joy and relief after the college entrance examination, but all of this had become blurred in Meng Yanchen's eyes.

His fingertips brushed against the fine downy hairs on the girl's lips, and the slight touch felt like an electric current, instantly striking Meng Yanchen's heart.

Meng Yanchen's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed a mouthful of tension and trembling. The skin on his palm felt so hot that it seemed to melt into his fingerprints. The heat traveled through his palm and straight to his heart, stirring up a sense of panic within him.

Tang Yu chuckled softly, then tiptoed closer.

The soft lips lightly brushed against Meng Yanchen's chin, but the brief touch was like a wildfire, leaving the young man frozen in place, his mind blank, only the shock brought by that soft touch remained.

"Meng Yanchen..." Tang Yu whispered with a laugh in Meng Yanchen's ear, "You're such a coward."

Meng Yanchen's eyes flickered, and he suddenly leaned down, his movements gentle and slow, and touched Tang Yu's burning earlobe with the tip of his nose.

His breath brushed against the girl's ear, carrying the unique heat and tenderness of a young man.

"That's good."

Chapter 9 Meng Yanchen 9

After the college entrance examination scores were released, both Meng Yanchen and Tang Yu applied to Tsinghua University.

Fu Wenying actually preferred that Meng Yanchen study in Shanghai, closer to home.

But with my son scoring so high and going to a top school, there's really no reason to stop him.

"I don't know if you'll be able to settle in Beijing. Should I buy a house for you in advance?"

Meng Yanchen immediately refused.

The intention behind buying the house was indeed for his own good, but once he moves in, we'll be constantly monitoring his life in Beijing.

"Mom, Beijing has the nation's top talents. Living on campus, you'll meet many talented people and find many promising projects."

I think living at school is better; I can meet more people there!

This answer instantly made Fu Wenying smile with satisfaction; she hadn't expected her child to be able to think so far ahead at such a young age.

"Yanchen, you've really grown up. Your father and I are getting old too."

I thought I'd have to wait many more years for you to mature, but I didn't expect you to be so aware of it now.

Meng Yanchen smiled faintly, recalling something Tang Yu had said to him.

As long as you don't indulge in vices like drinking, gambling, and prostitution, which lead to a downward spiral in your life and a crooked path, you can live your life however you like without letting your parents down.

"Mom, I will grow up as soon as possible so that you and Mom and Dad can rest assured."

He envisioned a life where he could break free from his parents' protection and carve out his own path.

Xu Qin is currently a high school sophomore. She envies Meng Yanchen for living a free and easy life away from his family in another city.

"Brother, I really envy you! After you leave, I'll be all alone in this house."

"Qinqin, how about we go on a trip? Climb some mountains, see the sea, and you'll find that your world is no longer just a narrow sky."

I know you have insecurities, but actually, when you grow up, you can do wood carving in your own room, you can eat whatever you want at your own dining table, you can eat street food, and you can even live a messy life in your own home.

Actually, none of that matters. As long as you don't become degenerate and harm yourself, you can live whatever life you want. Your parents are getting older, and they can't control us anymore.

After Meng Yanchen finished speaking, Xu Qin felt that Meng Yanchen was talking without any sense of responsibility.

She was just an adopted daughter; if she didn't behave and obey, she would lose the Meng family's comfortable life.

She couldn't bear to give up the refined lifestyle of the Meng family.

Meng Yanchen knew what Xu Qin was thinking.

He just felt that in another year, Xu Qin would be able to go to university, and as long as she had a stable job, she could take control of her own life.

If Xu Qin can make a name for herself in her career, then her parents will have even less reason to interfere.

But neither of them could understand the other's thoughts.

Xu Qin dared not risk leaving the Meng family. The safest option she could think of was to study medicine in the future, as it seemed that this was the only way to secure a future.

Meng Yanchen was already prepared for his parents to cut off financial support.

Only by making a name for himself can he take control of his own life.

After going to university in Beijing, besides his daily classes, Meng Yanchen loved to drag Tang Yu around the streets and alleys.

"You feel free right now, even the smallest hair on your head."

These words made Meng Yanchen laugh out loud.

"That's not enough! I've already got my driver's license, all I need to do is earn some money to take you on a road trip!"

Having left Yancheng, Meng Yanchen was practically turning into a free and unfettered butterfly.

"Thinking about buying a car?"

"I have this plan, but I have to wait and see if my first investment project can generate profits as soon as possible."

Meng Yanchen really worked hard. Although he studied finance, he made many friends in the computer science department and also audited some courses.

Both of them predicted that smartphones would rapidly become widespread across the country in the next few years, thus the mobile gaming market would experience a boom.

This type of asset-light game investment is most suitable for startup teams.

Low cost, high profit potential.

In fact, the two men were right; the mini-game market soon experienced a boom.

After making a profit, Meng Yanchen invested in some small games. As more and more people crowded into this field, he began to switch to other fields.

At this time, a major event occurred in Tang Yu's family.

With the sudden implementation of environmental protection policies by the state, various polluting enterprises have been subject to strict supervision and rectification.

Tang Yu's parents' company is a heavy metal processing company, and they also recycle various heavy metals from both domestic and overseas sources.

This is clearly not in line with current environmental protection policies.

After failing to meet environmental standards despite several attempts to rectify the situation, Tang Yu's parents' company was shut down.

To make matters worse, their overseas partners absconded with the money.

“Daughter, your mother and I have been very careful all our lives and never dared to invest in businesses we didn’t understand. But we never expected that the business we’ve run all our lives would be against environmental protection.”

"If I had known about this policy earlier, I would have sold my company a few years ago, and I wouldn't be stuck with a mountain of debt and have my bank loans cut off now."

After Mr. Tang finished speaking, Mrs. Tang also sighed.

“Child, your father and I have spent our whole lives together, and I can’t bear to abandon him now.”

Your dad and I will take on this debt. If you receive any calls from debt collectors, just ignore them. They won't dare to do anything!

Sure enough, a smooth-sailing life will always have its ups and downs.

"Even after selling all the family's assets, we still can't afford to pay off the loan?"

Tang's mother spoke through tears.

"It's all my fault for taking advantage of the good business these past few years and expanding the factory last year by taking out a loan."

They've sold their house and car, and still have a loan of 5,000 million.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu immediately spoke up.

"Didn't you buy me an apartment in Beijing? I don't live there often, so why don't we sell it? It should be worth ten million!"

"That won't do!" Tang's father immediately refused.

"Your mother and I don't know if we'll ever be able to pay off the debts in this lifetime. This house is your place to settle down and make a living."

Even if the court auctions off all the assets under my and your mother's names, they won't touch your house. Don't be foolish!

Tang Yu sighed after hearing this.

Her parents didn't actually do anything wrong; they just didn't keep up with the times.

With her parents' limited knowledge, how could they possibly understand what environmental protection is?

The fact that they haven't broken the law or made reckless investments over the years is already their greatest survival wisdom.

"Mom and Dad, don't be nervous. I've enjoyed the life of a rich kid for over ten years and it's been very comfortable. Even if we don't have money now, the sky won't fall."

Isn't it just about making money?

This is easy for her.

I originally wanted to be a lazy bum, but now it seems I still have to put in some effort.

When Meng Yanchen learned of this, he spoke up instinctively.

"I'll transfer all the money in my account to you first, so your parents can have it in case of emergency. Then I'll see which shares can be sold."

Tang Yu looked down at the man who was sinking into the leather sofa, and then she smiled and turned over to sit on Meng Yanchen's lap.

The expensive suit fabric was pressed into alluring folds by Tang Yu, who suddenly reached out and hooked the end of the other person's tie, their fingertips swirling in an ambiguous spiral.

"President Meng looks like he's willing to go bankrupt for me..."

Tang Yu leaned down slightly, her nose brushing lightly against Meng Yanchen's burning earlobe, the warm breath making Meng Yanchen's body tremble slightly.
