Chapter 179: Chapter 180: Is He Really That Amazing? (Requesting Monthly Votes!)

Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t go to work at the game company today.

That was because Jiang Nanxing had called her the night before, telling her that she’d be going to the elder care home for an interview the next day and invited Yu Qiao Qiao to come along if she was free.

In Jiang Nanxing’s view, it wasn’t just the impoverished who needed help; some lonely elderly people also needed assistance and care.

Especially since they had dedicated their lives to this country, to society, they deserved corresponding attention in their old age.

So, she had invited Yu Qiao Qiao to come and interview these elderlies and help out with some things along the way.

Yu Qiao Qiao also felt that this interview was very meaningful.

It helped her to recognize more overlooked groups in society; she felt that if she really joined a charity or a public service organization in the future, she could also raise the issue of caring for and supporting the lonely elderly.

This was also a way of spreading love.

While Yu Qiao Qiao was quietly standing to the side watching Jiang Nanxing conduct her interview,

"Buzz, buzz."

Suddenly, she felt her pocket vibrate twice.

Yu Qiao Qiao took out her phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Yang Nuannuan.

Sister Nuan had sent her a WeChat message?

Yu Qiao Qiao opened it curiously and then looked puzzled.

["Qiao Qiao. You’ve kept me in the dark~"]

Yu Qiao Qiao was a bit confused.

She had kept something from Sister Nuan?

Hadn’t she? She didn’t remember hiding anything from Sister Nuan.

With that thought, Yu Qiao Qiao replied with a message, ["Sister Nuan, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."]

Yang Nuannuan replied almost instantly, ["Xiao Qiao Qiao. Your company with Chen Yan has grown so big. You’ve even ventured into the film industry and opened a new company. And you didn’t even mention it back at the dorm."]

Seeing Yang Nuannuan bringing this up, Yu Qiao Qiao was momentarily stunned.

How did Sister Nuan know about this?

She replied, ["That... It’s not exactly a branch. It’s a new company that Chen Yan and Sister Lu Man started together."]

["You never asked, and as a simple temp worker, I didn’t feel it was my place to bring it up."]

...

In the office.

Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao’s reply, Yang Nuannuan showed a gentle smile.

She actually hadn’t meant to blame Yu Qiao Qiao at all. She was just feeling bored and teased her dormitory sister a bit.

After the teasing, Yang Nuannuan got right to the point, saying, ["Okay~ You have a point. But... from now on, we’re colleagues, so look out for me, okay?"]

In the elder care home.

Yu Qiao Qiao saw Yang Nuannuan’s latest message, her mouth slightly agape, her face showing a bewildered expression.

Colleagues?

Sister Nuan had also started working at Chen Yan’s company?

She asked, her curiosity reflecting her inner thoughts.

Yang Nuannuan replied immediately, ["Yes. I’ve successfully joined Chen Yan’s company."]

Then, through Yang Nuannuan’s explanation, Yu Qiao Qiao found out the whole story.

She learned about the meetings between Yang Nuannuan and Chen Yan, Yang Nuannuan’s family background, and the relationship between Yang Rou and Yang Nuannuan.

Then... she was even more bewildered.

President Yang was Sister Nuan’s mother?

Oh my!

Could it be such a coincidence?

Yu Qiao Qiao felt today was full of "surprises," one after the other, and she was almost overwhelmed.

But... she thought they were all good things.

If Yang Nuannuan also worked at the Jinmao Building during the holidays, then she would have some company.

And as Yu Qiao Qiao was thinking this, she heard Jiang Nanxing’s voice nearby, "Qiao Qiao? Come over. Let’s help Grandma Niu go out to the courtyard for a walk."

Yu Qiao Qiao snapped back to reality and quickly responded with an "Oh~." She then put her phone back into her pocket, handed off the items to the cameraman beside her, and hurried over to assist Jiang Nanxing in helping the elderly lady...

...

In the office.

After chatting with Yu Qiao Qiao, Yang Nuannuan put down her phone with a smile.

Chen Yan and Yang Rou had also finished discussing the distribution company affairs in front of her.

Yang Nuannuan had not listened to the beginning, only hearing a few sentences at the end.

The gist of it was Chen Yan telling Yang Rou to continue with her planned course of action, while he had also contacted another distribution company, planning to compare them later.

Yang Nuannuan adjusted her glasses and looked at Chen Yan with some curiosity.

From his conversation with her mother, it was clear he didn’t understand the distribution business, but he said he had also contacted a distribution company for a comparison.

Was that just a way of prompting?

Yang Nuannuan looked at Chen Yan’s composed expression and felt that wasn’t the case.

Then could it be that he really believed his outsider’s choice would be better than her mother’s?

Yang Nuannuan was curious.

Exactly... what gave him that confidence?

...

After a while, Chen Yan and Yang Rou finished talking, and after greeting Yang Nuannuan, he left the office.

Once Chen Yan had departed, the icy expression on Yang Rou’s face thawed slightly. She poured a cup of water for Yang Nuannuan, and as she set it down, she asked, "Were you getting anxious?"

Yang Nuannuan shook her head gently and said, "Not at all. I found your conversation quite interesting."

Yang Rou showed a hint of curiosity, "Really?"

Yang Nuannuan nodded, "Yes."

She said, "For example, you were talking about film distribution. Chen Yan obviously doesn’t understand it and came to you for advice. But after getting your advice, he said he had also contacted a distribution company."

"Isn’t that strange?"

Yang Rou smiled, "What do you think he means?"

Yang Nuannuan ventured a guess, "Pushing you? Or warning you?"

Yang Rou shook her head, her face taking on a thoughtful expression.

"Probably not."

"I feel that Xiao Chen might have actually found a pretty good distribution company, but he wasn’t sure, so he came to ask me about distribution related matters before making a decision."

Yang Nuannuan’s face filled with curiosity, "But how would he know the company is any good if he doesn’t understand the industry?"

Yang Rou stroked her daughter’s hair with a laugh and spoke meaningfully, "Nuannuan. You have to understand that sometimes, when you’re powerful enough, you don’t need to know all the specific details. You just need to know how to use people."

"You don’t need to understand the industry; you only need to understand ’people.’"

"That’s precisely Xiao Chen’s ability."

Yang Nuannuan felt even more puzzled.

But Yang Rou didn’t seem inclined to continue the conversation. She patted her daughter’s head and said, "Alright now. Stop thinking about it. It’s too early for you to be pondering these things. Just know that Xiao Chen has his reasons for doing what he does."

Yang Nuannuan looked distrustfully at her mother.

She always felt... as if her mother had been brainwashed by Chen Yan.

This blind confidence in Chen Yan... what was it about?

Not needing to understand the industry, just being sharp in judging people, he could achieve things her mother couldn’t?

Was Chen Yan’s capability really that great?

Yang Nuannuan found it hard to imagine.

Luckily, she had a month’s time to pay attention to this matter, to see if things really proceeded as her mother predicted...

After chatting for a while in the office, Yang Rou took Yang Nuannuan out to meet the company’s people.

The confidence brought by her capabilities and experience allowed her not to hide anything; she openly and brightly introduced Yang Nuannuan as her daughter, who was interning at the company for a month, asking everyone to look after her.

After the introduction, Yang Rou arranged a department for Yang Nuannuan: the marketing department.

When Yang Nuannuan arrived at the new department, she didn’t show arrogance because her friend was the boss and her mother the general manager. Instead, she greeted the department’s leader and each of her seniors with the demeanor of an intern.

They held a short meeting in the conference room to introduce each other, and then the supervisor assigned Yang Nuannuan her tasks.

Coincidentally, it was related to film distribution.

Yang Nuannuan would assist fellow department colleagues in contacting various distribution companies in the industry, providing materials, and sorting out offers from different distributors.

The work was actually quite easy and even allowed her to establish some contacts. It could be said the department supervisor had specifically thought of this task for Yang Nuannuan, the "boss’s daughter."

Yang Nuannuan herself was curious about film distribution, especially after her mother’s analysis of Chen Yan, so she was even more interested and readily accepted the assignment.

The following two days were uneventful.

Yu Qiao Qiao, after interviewing at the elder care home, returned to the company to continue modelling clay figures for new game designs.

Yang Nuannuan started working with several film company employees to contact distribution companies.

Lu Man... continued filming her movie.

Only Chen Yan stayed at the company for two days before finding an excuse to visit Eastern Film City, ready to verify the conditions for Virtual Girlfriend’s 10-fold cash back offer...

...

This time, when Chen Yan came to Eastern Film City, he didn’t notify anyone else and planned to just visit the set ostensibly to check on Lu Man, while also accomplishing his own goals.

The film crew was shooting as usual that day, and Lu Man, as the female lead, was naturally on set.

So after Chen Yan got out of the car, he strolled towards the filming location.

Upon arriving at the shooting area, a set worker initially wanted to stop the unfamiliar face approaching but recognized Chen Yan as he drew near and quickly greeted him.

Chen Yan nodded and asked, "Where are Director Teng and Lu Man?"

The set worker pointed not far off under the shade of a tree and said, "Over there, President Chen."

Chen Yan followed his direction and saw Lu Man sitting under the tree with her head bowed. Xiao Tao squatting next to her, looking worried. Director Teng and Shasha were standing to the side discussing something.

It looked like there had been some problem with the filming.

Chen Yan approached and before reaching the shade, he heard Director Teng complain to Shasha, "This won’t do. Ever since she returned from her last break, Lu Man’s condition has been completely wrong."

"She doesn’t look like she’s gone through a breakup at all. All day she’s giggling."

"If someone didn’t know better, they would think we’re filming ’23 Days in Love’!"
