My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 311: I Get Along Well with Your Daughter

Facing this older generation magnate, although Chen Yan had already targeted him internally, he still behaved very politely.

He took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Mr. He. I am Chen Yan. Uncle Zhao asked me to find you."

Upon hearing Chen Yan’s words, He Ruifeng fell silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "You are slower than I imagined."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "I’ve been quite busy recently, I hope Mr. He can understand."

....

Qin Island. Wutong Group, Chairman’s office.

He Ruifeng sat at his desk, wearing a pair of glasses, with the phone on speaker, and beside him was a document about Chen Yan.

This was not a whimsical investigation on Chen Yan by him.

It was simply because Chen Yan was developing too fast and had begun to catch the attention of these established families.

His first game earned tens of millions, his first movie made six hundred million at the box office, and the first actor he signed won an award and became a top celebrity. The recently released second game made over a billion in just one month, becoming popular internationally.

Such a speed of making money had alarmed everyone.

Others who had struggled for decades, in the hands of this young man, completed the feat within just a year.

Especially since the industries he was involved in were all cash cows. So, he held a tremendous amount of cash in his hands.

This was almost unimaginable in traditional industries.

Thus, it also made the Qin Island billionaires, who had been paying attention to new industries for the past two years, particularly interested.

He Ruifeng believed that not only he but every major group and family on Qin Island had a file on Chen Yan’s activities over the past two years.

With such impressive achievements, it was not surprising that He Ruifeng wanted to get acquainted with Chen Yan.

Compared to other billionaires who wanted to connect with Chen Yan but had no means, He Ruifeng had some indirect ties with him.

For instance, the venture capital stakes previously entrusted to him by Zhao Xuan, and also his daughter and nephew.

Two months ago, when Zhao Xuan died, He Ruifeng knew that Chen Yan would find him.

And a month ago, when his daughter clung to him, telling him that Chen Yan wanted to speak with him about private matters, He Ruifeng thought Chen Yan would come to find him soon.

However, unexpectedly, it took two months before Chen Yan called him...

This made him feel a bit suffocated while admiring Chen Yan’s patience.

Trying to dismiss these useless emotions, He Ruifeng said, "Understood. Xiao Chen has indeed been very busy recently. The game he developed became internationally famous, and he’s truly honored our country."

Chen Yan humbly said, "It’s all luck, I didn’t expect it to be so popular."

He Ruifeng didn’t dwell much on Chen Yan’s response.

From his niece and daughter, he had long known that before the game was made, Chen Yan ambitiously targeted a global release.

So, he avoided this topic and instead asked, "You want to talk about the venture fund, right?"

He glanced at his schedule and said, "I have time tonight from 7 to 10, would you come to my house for a meal?"

When a senior invites, one cannot refuse.

Chen Yan politely accepted.

After hanging up, Chen Yan thought for a while and then called Qin Ming.

He inquired about what Mr. He liked, then Chen Yan went out to buy a gift.

The first visit to someone’s home required proper etiquette.

At around 6 p.m., Chen Yan drove to the He Family Mansion.

Compared to his last grand visit, this time the He Family Mansion seemed much more home-like.

When Chen Yan arrived, Qin Ming was already waiting outside.

Chen Yan got out of the car, handed the car keys to the valet, and Qin Ming came over to greet him.

The two of them walked while quietly talking.

Qin Ming fully played his role as an "insider," quietly reporting, "Brother Chen, tonight my uncle invited Qin Island’s best chef to prepare a feast for you."

"My sister heard you were coming and wanted to come home, but my uncle didn’t agree. He said tonight you two should talk alone."

Chen Yan looked at him surprised and said, "Then how come you’re still here?"

Qin Ming chuckled, "A nephew is closer to his uncle."

Chen Yan: ....

I don’t believe you at all.

Chen Yan felt that it was mostly because He Ruifeng knew about his relationship with Qin Ming, so he let him entertain him earlier.

As for why not use He Ruixue,

One reason was to spare his daughter; another was that it seemed somewhat unseemly for a lady of the He family to come out beforehand to welcome guests personally.

Ignoring Qin Ming’s bluster, Chen Yan followed Qin to the reception room to wait.

At around 6:40, a butler came to inform Chen Yan that He Ruifeng had arrived and requested him to come over.

Judging by He Ruifeng’s early arrival, Chen Yan knew tonight’s conversation should be straightforward.

During the meal, Qin Ming didn’t follow.

Indeed, as Qin Ming had said, aside from a serving butler, there were only He Ruifeng and Chen Yan.

Arriving at the dining room, He Ruifeng was already seated. Seeing Chen Yan, he gestured for him to sit beside him.

Chen Yan complied smoothly and took his seat.

After he sat down, the butler came over to pour him some tea.

He Ruifeng gestured and said, "Top-quality West Lake Longjing. Try it."

Chen Yan picked up the small tea cup and took a sip... Hmm, he couldn’t tell.

He still preferred Zhao Xuan’s jasmine tea...

The fragrance was like perfume; it was delicious.

He Ruifeng didn’t ask about Chen Yan’s tea-tasting result and naturally started discussing business, "You’re here to collect Zhao Xuan’s share, right?"

Chen Yan set down his teacup and nodded, saying, "Yes. Now that I’ve finished my own business, I plan to follow Uncle Zhao’s wishes and help Ying Ying start a business."

He Ruifeng looked up at Chen Yan and asked leisurely, "Do you have a direction in mind?"

Chen Yan hummed in response, "Venture capital industry."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, a trace of surprise flashed through He Ruifeng’s eyes.

Then he picked up his teacup and took a sip; after two seconds, he commented, "That’s a tough industry to be in."

Chen Yan smiled, "Yes, but I trust my judgment."

Seeing Chen Yan’s confidence, He Ruifeng nodded slightly.

As someone who had also ridden the waves of his time and led the He family to its peak, he felt that if Chen Yan lacked this confidence, it would have been disappointing.

This was a typical mindset of a standout individual.

Especially since Chen Yan had proven himself multiple times already.

Thinking this, He Ruifeng then said, "Zhao Xuan left fifteen billion here. How much do you plan to use?"

Chen Yan said without hesitation, "All of it."

He Ruifeng looked at him, "Aren’t you afraid of an accident?"

Chen Yan smiled confidently and said, "With me here, there will be no accidents."

He Ruifeng didn’t say anything.

Although he admired Chen Yan’s confidence, as someone past his prime, he still thought that Chen Yan’s move was very risky.

However, it wasn’t his money anyway. He had only agreed to keep it for Zhao Xuan for a while, so he wasn’t worried.

With his current fortune and status, he just needed to sit back and watch as things unfolded, getting too involved wouldn’t be good.

So, he simply nodded and said, "Okay. I’ll arrange for someone to go through the process with you in the next few days."

Chen Yan hadn’t expected things to proceed so smoothly and was quite surprised.

Initially, he had prepared to face difficulties and many questions. He had imagined many times what He Ruifeng might be like—somber or domineering. Yet, he never expected the He Ruifeng before him to look like the most ordinary old man.

If one word could describe him, it would be ’serene.’

Chen Yan wasn’t sure if this was his facade or if he had seen too much turmoil and thus possessed such a broad mind.

Soon, the dishes started coming one by one.

Each time a dish was served, the butler would step forward and quietly introduce the dish’s name and preparation method.

Every time this happened, Chen Yan noticed that He Ruifeng listened very attentively.

After listening, he would also gesture for Chen Yan to eat together.

He himself would also pick up a piece with his chopsticks and chew leisurely.

At other times, he didn’t speak.

Until the end of the meal, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and then asked, "Have you decided on the share ratio for the new company?"

Chen Yan said, "Yes. I plan to split with Ying Ying 7 to 3.我7,她3."

This time He Ruifeng was surprised, looking at Chen Yan, "You... plan to invest as well?"

Chen Yan shook his head, "No. Just using these fifteen billion, we’ll accept only one or two external investments at most."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, He Ruifeng was genuinely surprised.

He didn’t know whether Chen Yan was greedy or confident.

Without putting in a single penny of his own, letting Zhao Ying who invested fifteen billion have a 30% stake...

He couldn’t help but picture Zhao Xuan in his mind: Zhao Xuan, did you foresee today?

Forget it, forget it... After all, it’s the Zhao family’s business, Zhao Xuan is gone, what’s the point of worrying now about such matters.

While he was thinking this, Chen Yan spoke again, "Speaking of external investment, actually, you know her too. It’s your daughter, He Mengxue."

"I feel a strong rapport with her, and her capabilities are strong too. So, I should be partnering with her for the new company."

He Ruifeng: ???

"..."
