My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 308: Sales of 1.1 Billion!

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Sales of 1.1 Billion! freёnovelkiss.com

At that moment...

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yan stared at the author’s reply, puzzled for a moment.

"Film company?"

"What a coincidence. Does this mean we’re now in the same line of work?"

"But... aren’t women in the film industry usually very secretive about their age? Why would she reveal it herself?"

Although somewhat confused, Chen Yan just assumed this married woman was more direct in nature, so he didn’t dwell on it.

He responded, "That’s really impressive. Planning and writing novels, truly talented."

"Whoosh~"

After sending the message, there was a knock at Chen Yan’s door.

He put down his phone to answer the door, where a delivery person stood.

After receiving his delivery and saying thanks, Chen Yan returned to his desk, started unpacking his takeout, and continued to check QQ.

The author had already replied to him,

"Yes. I’ve always enjoyed writing since I was young. I also hope my works can be adapted into films, so that’s why I write novels and work in the film industry."

Chen Yan finished unpacking his takeout, picked up his phone, and quickly typed out two lines,

"Do you have any film works besides these two novels?"

"Could you share them with me so I could check them out?"

Perhaps because this was the first author Chen Yan had added on QQ, he was genuinely interested in learning about the movies the author had made and wanted to find out if there was anything that piqued his interest.

Uh... Of course. Wearing an ’alias’ didn’t affect his innocence in Chen Yan’s view.

After all, his current net worth was significant, and he was the owner of Lu Man’s company, which gave him a special identity that could easily be recognized.

If that author accidentally discovered his knowledge about the stock market trends and leaked it online, it could stir up a real storm...

That’s why he adopted an alias.

As for choosing to pose as a 40-year-old man from the finance sector...

That was because... in his eyes, only the finance industry would know these secrets. Plus, the other party was 38, and he was 40; being peers, they could interact as equals.

He projected his own rationale, thinking if he, a man in his twenties, chatted with a child around ten years old, he’d naturally see the child as immature and consider himself "superior," adopting a patronizing attitude...

After sending this message, Chen Yan grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started eating his takeout.

For some reason, the author took exceptionally long to reply this time; it was a full two minutes later before they finally wrote back,

"Oh... the projects I’ve planned weren’t very successful, so I’d rather not talk about them. You should just follow my books."

Then she added, "I’ve got some things to do here, so I can’t chat anymore, ha."

"Thank you again for the information you provided. I’ll follow your advice and make some moves in a few days."

"If I really make some money, I’ll definitely send you a big red envelope!"

Reading the married woman’s message, Chen Yan nonchalantly tapped his phone a few times,

"There’s no need for a red envelope. Just update a few more Chapters of your novel."

"If possible, please write some more explicit scenes, thank you."

After sending, Chen Yan turned off his phone and focused on his meal.

Meanwhile, in the room next door separated by a wall...

Yang Nuannuan actually had nothing to do; the slow reply earlier was simply because she realized the identity she made up was too easily debunked.

Compared to the out-of-touch finance industry, the film industry was always under the spotlight, making any conversation topic risky for exposure.

So when she saw the other party asking about her work, Yang Nuannuan bit her finger, pondering over how to fabricate it.

Thinking over and over, Yang Nuannuan felt that if she lied, she would have to cover it up with another lie in the future. This way, her life would soon be built on a foundation of lies.

After contemplating for two minutes, she made a resolute decision: to stop interacting with the other person!

After all, he was just a scamming uncle. She chatted with him out of boredom, but if she had to fabricate a personality and tell all sorts of lies, it would be too much trouble.

With this in mind, Yang Nuannuan decisively stopped chatting,

"I’ve got some things to do..."

".... If I really make some money, I’ll definitely send you a big red envelope!"

After sending the message, Yang Nuannuan threw her phone onto the bed and crawled back under her covers, wanting to lie down a bit longer.

But within seconds, her phone rang.

"Ding-dong."

She picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a message from him,

"There’s no need for a red envelope. After you’ve made some money, please update an extra two Chapters of your novel."

"If possible, please write some more explicit scenes, thank you."

Looking at the message, Yang Nuannuan rolled her eyes: turns out he was a sleazy uncle after all.

She replied, "Okay~"

After sending the message, Yang Nuannuan yawned and muttered, "Hmph. As if I’d believe you. Scammer, sleazy uncle."

...

Days flew by quickly.

Chen Yan was busy during this time.

He started moving funds and buying stocks according to the system’s instructions.

In between buying stocks, he also drove Yu Qiao Qiao to a villa area for a visit.

This time without Zhao Ying’s interference, the atmosphere between them was much better, and Chen Yan even teased Yu Qiao Qiao from time to time. Without Zhao Ying’s backing, she blushed and remained timid.

Eventually, they settled on the first villa.

Perhaps Brother Ying indeed had some kind of talent, or maybe it was a psychological suggestion, but after considering all options, Yu Qiao Qiao also felt the first villa was better.

The first villa was fully furnished and priced at 23 million.

Chen Yan didn’t bargain and paid in full.

The saleswoman, adept in worldly ways, tried hard to contain her excitement, striving to appear more professional, and kept offering Chen Yan discounts.

At the time, Chen Yan’s face darkened.

He felt as if he was saying, "I’m helping you achieve your sales target, yet you’re trying to take advantage of me..."

And Boss Qiao Qiao, who liked to save money, was charmed by the idea of a discount.

But every thousand cut from the discount was a hundred thousand loss for Chen Yan!

So, Chen Yan strictly declined the "promotion."

To avoid making it look odd to both of them, he had no choice but to negotiate a few extra underground parking spaces and garages for Yu Qiao Qiao; although the villa came with two, they really didn’t have anything else to offer.

In the end, to stop the saleswoman from "discounting" the home appliances too, Chen Yan hastily left with Yu Qiao Qiao after paying the deposit.

The saleswoman once again marveled at encountering such a straightforward customer, which was rare!

Aside from finalizing Yu Qiao Qiao’s villa, the smaller apartment and the promised Ferrari for Yu Qiao Qiao were also entrusted to an agent by Chen Yan to be officially transferred to her name through proper procedures.

It wouldn’t be long before the house and car transfer were successful.

With that, the total value of nearly 30 million in fixed assets gifted to Yu Qiao Qiao would be completely handed over!

And with an 8-15 times cashback, Chen Yan would immediately receive several hundred million in fixed assets himself; just the thought made him feel content.

As for the hero of this cashback event, "Mudman Ultimate Elimination," its sales remained impressive over the past few days.

Perhaps because such competitive social games easily hooked friends, or maybe the game quality truly stood out, either way, the sales were very stable.

Now a week had passed, and total sales had reached 1.1 billion, breaking a series of records.

Domestic media had also begun to report spontaneously, calling it the most outstanding domestic buy-to-play game in recent years.

Fat Phoenix was also bombarding Chen Yan with calls, mentioning many media outlets wanting to interview him, and asking if he had time.

Chen Yan had no time for that!

During this period, aside from stock trading and picking out houses with Boss Qiao Qiao, he also had to fulfil his obligations at Lu Man’s.

If it weren’t for Chen Yan’s boosted constitution, he might have been worn out.

And with Lu Man’s improved acting thanks to the Talent Potion, her skills were climbing steadily. She loved role-playing, which put Chen Yan in quite the predicament.

Because he discovered that ever since she gained the acting talent, he couldn’t tell if Lu Man was truly reaching her peak or just faking it...

And once, when Chen Yan mistook Lu Man’s performance for hitting the peak and accelerated to end the "battle" quickly, Lu Man triumphantly proclaimed she was pretending, declaring him the early finisher and hence the loser!

Chen Yan was just full of question marks at the time.

Is that even possible?

Acting could be used like that?

And wins and losses were calculated in such a way??

Thankfully, this cat-and-mouse life didn’t continue. Two days later, Lu Man was dragged away by Yang Rou to record "Big Star Detective," freeing Chen Yan from this challenging lifestyle.

However, perhaps it was this busy life that caused him to forget about the "married woman author" who was still "thinking" about him...

...

These days, Yang Nuannuan also had her share of difficulties.

After confirming she couldn’t obtain any useful answers from her readers, she began delving into her own fund investment plan.

But the more she studied it, the more uncertain she became.

She found that mutual fund investments were typically long-term, which is when profits stabilize. If it were just a one-year medium-term investment, the fund might still be at a loss by year-end.

This made her very conflicted. She couldn’t possibly tell Boss Qiao Qiao that her money was still "earning," and even if it didn’t reach 10% this year, she should trust her because "next year it will surely make 20%..."

That would be a scam...

And thinking of a scammer, her mind inevitably returned to that scamming uncle from the other day.
