My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 131: Am I the Only One Who Feels Something Is Wrong?

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Am I the Only One Who Feels Something Is Wrong?

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Chen Yan paused for a moment.

Weird games?

Why does it feel a bit off?

He thought for a while, sat next to Yu Qiao Qiao, and then asked with concern, "What did she do?"

Yu Qiao Qiao shrank like a little quail, shyly saying, "Nothing much."

"It was just Sister Man Man wanting to play a game."

"Then she hugged me, touched my legs..."

Chen Yan: ?

Yu Qiao Qiao, "And...while touching, she asked me if I had any strange feelings."

Chen Yan: ??

What the hell?

What was that idiot doing...?

Yu Qiao Qiao continued, "But the problem is, I didn’t feel anything. It just felt really itchy, and I struggled, asking her to stop messing around. But she happily said ’that’s right,’ ’that’s right.’"

Chen Yan: ???

Continuing, Yu Qiao Qiao said angrily, "I feel like Sister Man Man doesn’t respect people at all. It felt like my legs almost had a layer of skin worn off."

Chen Yan: ....

Having said that, Yu Qiao Qiao paused, recalling.

She then said somewhat bewilderingly, "Maybe seeing that I really had no other feelings, she sat on the ground with a sigh, talking to herself."

"Saying things like ’Why isn’t it right?’ ’Why is it just me?’ ’Do I really have a problem?’"

Chen Yan was silent for a while.

Then he silently covered his forehead.

Why do I suddenly feel like...I’ve screwed up Lu Man?

Looking at the game’s notes on this idiot, before she didn’t understand any of this. She just had that potential.

After I triggered it, she realized something was off, so she has been questioning her life recently.

What should I do now...

Seeing Chen Yan also seemed a bit distressed, Yu Qiao Qiao whispered, "Chen Yan, actually I didn’t want to bother you at first."

"But...Sister Man Man is about to start shooting a new movie soon."

"I feel like her current state will definitely ruin the production."

Pausing, she added, "The investment for the movie is all from you. If it flops, you’ll lose a lot of money."

"So...I came to talk to you about it. To hear what you think."

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Chen Yan lifted his head, trying to appear normal, "Okay. Thank you. Qiao Qiao."

"I’ll handle it. After work, I’ll find her and see what’s really going on."

Yu Qiao Qiao nodded vigorously, "Alright!"

After speaking, she murmured softly, "I don’t want to go find Sister Man Man again, it’s too scary..."

Chen Yan: ....

Karma!

Look at my Boss Qiao Qiao, how scared she got!

.......

While Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao were chatting, Mei Li was also in the hotel discussing business with Lu Man.

Holding a stack of documents, Mei Li said, "Man Man, I have a plan here that I’d like to discuss with you first."

It seemed that Lu Man had not been doing very well these days, appearing a bit absent-minded.

Hearing, she looked up bewildered, "Huh? What plan?"

Mei Li said, "A plan about changing your image."

She handed the documents to Lu Man, saying, "You have always wanted to change your image. I understand that." freewēbnoveℓ.com

"But changing an image isn’t something that can be done just like that."

"So, I plan to change it step by step."

Continuing, she pointed to the first line, "You have left your previous agency and established your private studio."

"So I plan to use this as a gimmick for your transformation."

She paused, then said, "My plan is to make your first transformed image: a powerful woman in the industry."

"My plan is, once Chen Yan’s money comes in, we will hold a press conference."

"To announce that you have bought out your own contract. You officially stand on your own, having established your celebrity studio."

"You previously filmed ’Hidden Guardian,’ which made you realize your unlimited potential. You also touched bases with some capital in the gaming sector and gained their trust."

"So you took the initiative to set up your own film company and celebrity studio with their support."

"In the future, your company will venture into artist management and film investment, and you will personally act as a producer and supervisor of TV dramas and movies."

Hearing Mei Li’s plan, Lu Man looked up, a bit startled, "Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?"

Mei Li shook her head, "Not exaggerated. Nowadays, if there’s no hype, how do you attract attention?"

"Moreover, almost everything we’re talking about is true, your financial backer: Chen Yan is indeed from the gaming industry. And you do have shares in a film company. Participating in the production of TV dramas and films."

"If we build this strong woman image according to this plan."

"Just as long as our company has a few hit films next, then your value, and your status in the industry will soar."

"Previously, you were just a traffic celebrity. Anyone could pinch you."

"But after all this, you too can be considered a force to be reckoned with."

"When others meet you, they will also call you Sister Man or Director Man."

"The premise allows for a smoother transition into becoming a superstar and leading actress."

Hearing Mei Li outline her future, Lu Man was momentarily enchanted.

Who doesn’t want to be top tier, the numero uno leading actress in the industry?

But in the entertainment sector with so many people, there are only so many top spots.

Even if you become a top young actress or top traffic star, without over a decade of build-up, it’s impossible to reach that position.

But now...Mei Li has found me a shortcut...

Harnessing Lu Man’s desire with her own plans, Mei Li finally revealed her "intention."

She said, "However, Man Man, achieving this won’t be easy."

"Because this requires not only ensuring our films are blockbusters but also Chen Yan’s support."

"Not just financial support, he himself has to cooperate."

"For instance...we also have to create an image for him."

She paused, explaining, "Right now we are too weak, with too few cards to play, just standing in the industry, no one will care about us."

"Even if you established your own company, everyone would think you found a small investor with no background, playing around in the industry."

"So, we must find a way to reverse this impression."

"At first, it was very troubling for me."

"But then it suddenly occurred to me, since Chen Yan does not have a background, then we can create a background for him."

"For example...we can say he’s a gaming genius, building his own entertainment empire."

"So he took some start-up capital and a few talented people from home, and ventured out on his own."

Lu Man looked doubtful for a moment, "Will this work?"

Mei Li smiled mysteriously, "Of course it will."

"Let me tell you, I’ve investigated Chen Yan’s company before. So I found out there’s something very strange about their company."

"That is...several of their veterans are from Zhao Group."

Lu Man was startled, "Zhao Group?"

Mei Li nodded, "Right, Zhao Group."

"So...you say, if we advertise this and the curious insiders in the industry do some digging, will they conclude Chen Yan has Zhao Group’s support? And then feel wary."

Lu Man was shocked again.

Can things really be done this way?

She asked, "Won’t Zhao Group have objections?"

Mei Li smiled, "Why would they have objections? We never said Chen Yan’s company has the backing of Zhao Group. In fact, we didn’t even mention the Zhao Group at all."

"Others guessing blindly has nothing to do with us."

"Moreover, for a company of our small scale, Zhao Group probably won’t even pay attention, let alone hear such rumors."

"By the later stages when the company grows, these issues won’t matter anymore. Nobody will care."

"In plain terms, we’re just borrowing some influence at the start, later growth is still up to us."

Lu Man silently nodded.

Seeing Lu Man had no more questions, Mei Li coughed and said,

"It seems you agree with my plan."

"So...Man Man, I’ll need you to contribute to this plan."

"Didn’t you already make a big sacrifice for Chen Yan’s game before?"

"I hope you can persuade Chen Yan, get him to agree to this plan."

"Now entrepreneurs are not much different from celebrities. They all need an image, promotion, and exposure."

"After all, in today’s society, marketing and advertising are becoming more and more important."

"Once his image is established, as you gradually become a superstar, his games, his business will get a lot of exposure."

"It’s a win-win situation."

Hearing Mei Li’s words, Lu Man said, "Since it’s a win-win situation, why don’t you talk to him yourself?"

Mei Li awkwardly replied, "Actually, I have mentioned it to him, but he wasn’t interested. He only wants to quietly make games."

"So...I thought you could step in, try to persuade him."

"Only with his cooperation can your development in the industry go smoothly."

Hearing Mei Li’s words, Lu Man bit her lip, feeling hesitant.

These days, whenever she thought of Chen Yan, Lu Man inevitably recalled the night she was molested.

And with each recollection, she surprisingly found...she was no longer angry but rather had a faint longing.

This made her feel something was off about herself.

And what was even more despairing and difficult to accept was...

She had experimented by forcefully touching Jiang Nanxing and Yu Qiao Qiao’s legs and asking them their feelings, but neither felt anything unusual...

That made Lu Man, who initially thought everyone was the same, completely hopeless.

So, it turned out...it was only her who was abnormal.

Or perhaps...only when Chen Yan did such things, would there be a sensation?

Lu Man, who had never experienced something similar, was completely confused these days.

She didn’t know how to face Chen Yan.

And now...Mei Li was asking her to talk to Chen Yan.

How could she possibly accept!

Thinking this way, Lu Man said angrily, "I won’t go! If anyone has to go, you go!"

"Goodbye!" After that, she stood up, quickly walked to the door, and was ready to leave the room!

Mei Li hurriedly called out from behind her, "Man Man!"

Lu Man stopped, but still firmly said without turning her head, "I won’t go!"

Mei Li coughed and said, "I mean..."

"This is your room. If anyone should leave, it should be me."

Lu Man: .....

Five minutes later, Lu Man stared at the empty room, took several deep breaths.

She forced Chen Yan out of her mind, picked up the script and headed to the bathroom to resume her acting practice.

Since she wasn’t able to establish an image, she would focus on honing her acting skills.

Striving to become a superstar was something that depended on her own efforts...

......

After talking with Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan sipped his coffee, pondering over Lu Man’s situation.

He felt that perhaps he had indeed frightened Lu Man. This idiot usually acted carefree, but likely had never encountered such a situation.

Plus, due to her peculiar "constitution", it led her to some self-doubt.

This wasn’t good news for either her mental and physical health or for Chen Yan’s nurturing plan.

Thus, Chen Yan decided that he might need to visit Lu Man tonight.

....

Past 8 PM, the company closed.

Chen Yan, as usual, dropped Yu Qiao Qiao back at her school and then strolled alone toward the hotel where Lu Man was staying...
