I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

I'm all ready on my end.

Chen Ya took a deep breath.

it's time.

It's time to begin implementing the first phase of the plan and take power from Shinjiro's hands.

Chapter 449 Playing Chess Without Rules

Chen Ya edited a mass text message, which would soon profoundly change the current situation.

However, before embarking on that very audacious plan, he needed to meet with someone.

The thought of seeing her made Chen Ya smile bitterly.

He should have met her a long time ago; she had been asking him to, but he kept making excuses about not being able to get away from his current situation.

Given the current situation, not only have I personally gotten involved, but I've also included her in this grand plan. It wouldn't be right not to see her.

……

Ochanomizu, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Chen Ya exited the subway station. Tokyo doesn't yet have the convenient convenience of shared bikes, so he'd have to walk from here on out.

As he walked down the street, two photography enthusiasts and a bow-legged girl walked towards him, looking up at his face.

The area in front was a filming location for "The Journey of Bellbuds". Chen Ya also seems to have seen the second-hand music store where Boqi bought his piano in "Lonely Rock".

Chiyoda Ward is considered one of the core areas of the city, home to the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, and even the headquarters of the Mikami Group.

There were many cars on the road, but it wasn't congested. Chen Ya noticed that most of the cars were Japanese, like Toyotas or Subasas. Occasionally, a black Mercedes would pass by, looking quite luxurious. He wondered if Xia Shu might be in the car.

Upon entering the building's lobby, Chen Ya knocked on the counter and said to the receptionist, "I have an appointment to meet with the Yunshan Business Delegation."

The receptionist bowed politely and said, "Please wait a moment." After the call was connected, a woman dressed in professional office attire quickly came over.

The woman looked Chen Ya up and down and said, "You're from the Chinese Workers' Federation..."

“My surname is Tian,” Chen Ya said immediately.

"Mr. Tian, ​​is that right?" The woman nodded. "This way, please."

Following her up the elevator, Chen Ya asked, "What is your surname?"

My surname is Shi.

"It would have been worth it for me to meet you no matter when?"

"?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. What is your position in Yunshan?"

"secretary."

It seems that Chen Ya's fabricated identity as a representative of the Chinese Workers' Union is not very convincing, as Secretary Shi is somewhat indifferent to him.

This scene feels somewhat familiar.

Secretary Shi led Chen Ya to a suite, served him tea, and then left him there for a full ten minutes without anyone coming to greet him.

Feeling he had waited long enough, Chen Ya went outside and found Secretary Shi, asking her when he could see President Gu. The secretary smiled.

“President Tian, ​​I’m a bit blunt, please don’t take offense,” Secretary Shi said, seemingly laughing at her younger brother. “President Gu is extremely busy, and unless there are very special circumstances, he won’t easily change his schedule.”

That was indeed a very direct statement, implying that Chen Ya's status was too low. Chen Ya responded neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Then please inform her, Secretary Shi, because I am a rather special case."

Secretary Shi raised an eyebrow slightly: "You?"

She had seen many people who bluffed, but few were as brazen as Chen Ya, who spoke so shamelessly without even changing his expression.

She gave a slightly embarrassed smile, realizing she might not have explained herself clearly, and continued:

“Mr. Tian, ​​you should know that when the professor from Waseda University came to see President Gu last time, he still waited for a full two hours.”

Chen Ya smiled and said, "I sincerely suggest you tell her as soon as possible. No matter what she's doing, if you tell her too late, I'm afraid she'll blame you."

"This……"

"Just tell her that the person she waited two weeks for to reply to has come to see her."

After saying this, Chen Ya sat back down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and slowly sipped his tea.

Secretary Shi was somewhat skeptical. What Chen Ya said was quite alarming, because no one in the world could make Gu Yuqing wait two weeks for a reply.

But just to be on the safe side, she still went to Gu Yuqing's room.

About ten minutes later, just as Chen Ya had refilled the teacup with hot water twice, he saw Gu Yuqing, with disheveled hair, run in barefoot.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?!"

Seeing Gu Yuqing rushing towards him, Chen Ya smiled slightly and said, "I sent you a message."

Gu Yuqing took out her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and found that it was indeed as he said. Still angry, she plopped down on the sofa next to her, grabbed his tea, and started drinking.

"I was sleeping just now, so I didn't see it. I meant I wanted you to come earlier."

Behind him, Secretary Shi rushed over carrying a stack of clothes and whispered a reminder:

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, your clothes..."

“Okay, just leave it there,” Gu Yuqing instructed. “Then you can go out and close the door.”

Although Gu Yuqing was notoriously willful and capricious, Secretary Shi had never seen her act like this before. He was filled with doubt and uncertainty, unable to figure out the identity of this "Mr. Tian".

Gu Yuqing was wearing a white floral nightgown with a low-cut front that was wide open, revealing a small mole on her chest.

She immediately took off her clothes, changed into underwear and stockings, and said:

"Let me guess what you're here for. If you're not here to atone for leaving me for two weeks out of guilt, then you're going to make me bleed money again, right?"

Chen Ya said, "You guessed right. But this time it's not just about you paying a little money; I have a big bet here."

Gu Yuqing looked at him with bright eyes: "You won't make me bleed? Do you want me to bleed a little? What kind of bet is this? Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me."

"I want to combine Beichen's electric vehicle technology with Yunshan's distribution channels and make a deal with Triangle Group."

Gu Yuqing was tying her hair when she heard this, she paused, and glared at him, saying:

"Do you know what you're saying? This deal is about the entire industry landscape and may even attract the attention of the authorities!"

“It’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty,” Chen Ya calmly sipped his tea. “Otherwise, why would I throw out such a big bait?”

Gu Yuqing sat down, her long legs together, her waist slender: "Tell me in detail?"

Chen Ya explained the plan he had discussed with Liulizi to her in detail.

During this period, Gu Yuqing didn't have many problems, but they were all crucial. She considered every detail of the plan and even anticipated Chen Ya's actions to some extent.

However, after Chen Ya finally revealed the entire plan, she still gasped in shock.

"You've taken a huge gamble," Gu Yuqing said. "You say it's just to help Liulizi regain power, but do you know what the consequences will be? It could trigger a major industry reshuffle! If you're not careful, it could even cause an international incident!"

“That’s the goal,” Chen Ya said. “If we’re lucky, we could even take over the entire East Asian automotive industry.”

"You're too bold." Gu Yuqing felt scared just thinking about it. "I haven't agreed to play this game with Yunshan yet. I need to think it over carefully."

"I'll wait for your reply," Chen Ya said.

Gu Yuqing's expression changed, and she said, "Then, let's talk about something lighter."

She paused, staring intently at Chen Ya, and asked, "What's your relationship with that singer... what's her name? Jin Lan?"

“Ugh…” Chen Ya was speechless. “This topic is anything but lighthearted.”

"Not easy, huh? Then something's really going on?" Gu Yuqing pretended to get angry.

Chen Ya could only quickly reassure him: "You can't even handle me alone, how could anything happen between you and others? You're overthinking it."

"That's hard to say."

“You’re absolutely right, I swear,” Chen Ya pointed to the sky, “That was all just hype created by the production team.”

"The production team is creating this kind of buzz, doesn't Xiao Qin know to do anything about it? Of all the people to create a CP (couple pairing) with, why does she have to create one with you?"

Chen Ya was speechless: "I asked her too, and she said that the group assignments before the show were really completely random, so I was also in a passive position in this situation."

Gu Yuqing glared at him fiercely, then suddenly an idea struck her, her eyes lighting up as she said:

“I need to consider your bet, but I don’t need to consider another deal. I want to sponsor ‘Idol Trainees’.”

"Why are you sponsoring this?" Chen Ya asked in surprise.

“I enjoy watching it,” Gu Yuqing said matter-of-factly. “Also, as a sponsor, can I make a few small requests?”

"any request?"

"For example, I'll tell you not to be grouped with Jin Lan anymore," Gu Yuqing said, pursing her lips. "I might as well just eliminate you and let you stay here with me."

“No, no,” Chen Ya quickly objected. “Why do you think I would use some pseudonym, Mr. Tian from the Chinese Workers’ Union? This place is the most dangerous place. If it weren’t for the important matters we need to discuss today, I wouldn’t want to come here.”

Chiyoda Ward not only has the Imperial Palace, but also government offices, and even the headquarters of the Sankaku Group is right next to this hotel.

He moved here, which is like settling in someone else's stronghold. Does he have a death wish?

“Besides, I really like the rhythm of this show now,” Chen Ya said. “It provides a great alibi, and I can move around freely except on the day of the competition.”

Gu Yuqing pouted and said, "Fine... no, I still want to sponsor you. In short, I can't let you be in the same group as Jin Lan anymore."

Chen Ya smiled wryly: "Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"I can't be jealous!"

Chen Ya was taken aback. Gu Yuqing blushed after speaking, looking incredibly alluring.

Biting her lip, Gu Yuqing looked at him for a while, then whispered, "Let's play chess."

Chen Ya was taken aback: "Why are you like this too?"

"also?"

“No,” Chen Ya glanced back at the door, “isn’t this inappropriate? Do you have a chessboard?”

"Yes, we have plenty."

Gu Yuqing was different from Liulizi; she didn't have so many taboos. She ran to the bedside table, pulled out a bunch of chessboard pieces, and piled them all on the coffee table.

"bring it on."

Chen Ya drew the curtains and set up the chessboard with his chariots, knights, and cannons. The two of them worked together in perfect unison, silently arranging their formations.

In an instant, Chen Ya launched a cannon attack, Gu Yuqing jumped her horse, Chen Ya then launched a cannon on the flank, and Gu Yuqing launched her elephant. Soon, the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Chen Ya had just stayed up all night playing games with Liulizi yesterday, which severely depleted his mental energy. He also didn't sleep much last night, and his body hasn't recovered yet.

Gu Yuqing, whose chess skills were already strong, couldn't keep up for a while, so she started to use off-board tactics.

"If you don't call Qin Yun Chu now, she might be asleep by the time it gets any later."

"Huh?" Gu Yuqing was engrossed in the game of chess when she thought of this and realized she couldn't delay, so she took out her phone.

"Hello, is this Yun Chu? This is Gu Yuqing, hehe... I need to talk to you! Are you busy?"

Chen Ya placed a piece on his side: "Cannon 9 to 1."

Gu Yuqing made a gesture of pausing by placing her hand over the chessboard, but Chen Ya paid no heed to that. Taking advantage of his opponent's distraction, he launched a counterattack.

Qin Yun Chu was overjoyed to receive Gu Yu Qing's call and quickly said:

"No rush, no rush, Mr. Gu, please feel free to speak."

"Are you in charge of 'Idol Trainees' now? Hehe, I want to sponsor your show... Ah!"

"Sponsoring a program?" Qin Yun Chu was both surprised and puzzled. "That's great, but the profits from sponsoring now might be... What's wrong?"

"What? What happened?"

"Your voice sounds a little strange..."

"Cough, oh, just now, I was swatting mosquitoes."

Are there mosquitoes this season?

"Hehe, the mosquitoes in early spring are really something, so cunning and... um?!"
