My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 383: Chen Yan’s Strategy Manual!

The meeting was to take place at Eastern Film City.

After setting the meeting, they confirmed the time again.

The meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, so there was no rush.

Yang Rou and Chen Yan agreed to meet up after lunch and head to Eastern Film City together.

After discussing official business, Chen Yan casually brought up personal matters.

He looked at Yang Rou and inquired, "Sister Rou, how is Nuan Nuan doing now?"

Although Chen Yan wasn’t really interested in Yang Nuannuan, as a friend, it was only right for him to ask after her abrupt departure.

Hearing Chen Yan’s question, an awkward expression rarely appeared on Yang Rou’s face.

She shook her head and said, "I really have no idea what that child is up to. She just suddenly said she didn’t want to do it anymore, and no amount of persuasion would work."

"Now... she’s gone traveling."

Chen Yan, who had already heard about this from Yu Qiao Qiao, silently nodded and reassured, "It’s fine. Maybe she just wants to enjoy the holiday before school starts."

Adding to this, Chen Yan said, "When she starts school, if she’s not too busy with her studies and wants to come back to the company, just approve it directly."

Yang Rou nodded and agreed.

After Yang Rou left, Chen Yan couldn’t help thinking about Yang Nuannuan.

He had to admit, if you disregarded Yang Nuannuan’s odd behavior, he felt she was very good for the company.

After all, she was both a link between him and Yu Qiao Qiao, and between him and Yang Rou.

Yu Qiao Qiao was the girl Chen Yan loved the most.

Yang Rou was one of Chen Yan’s most important subordinates.

So, her presence in the company could make Chen Yan’s connection with both Yu Qiao Qiao and Yang Rou even stronger.

Moreover, Yang Nuannuan’s abilities were truly strong. This was evident from her ability to temporarily take over for Yang Rou and handle official duties in a short time.

Fairly speaking, Chen Yan even thought that not even He Mengxue could outperform the current Yang Nuannuan in company affairs.

Therefore, if Yang Nuannuan were to return, Chen Yan would still welcome her.

.....

Meanwhile, the very Yang Nuannuan whom Chen Yan was "welcoming" was yawning in the bushes outside the Twin Towers Hotel.

"Why haven’t they come yet?"

"Could it be they’re not coming?"

Yang Nuannuan looked at the time, feeling a bit perplexed.

It was already 9:30 in the morning.

She had been waiting here since a little past 7 AM, just wanting to witness Chen Yan and Zhao Ying’s "innocence" herself, then adjust her plan accordingly.

But... she waited and waited to no avail, almost falling asleep while waiting.

Looking at the time again, Yang Nuannuan felt that, based on the pattern she had observed before, it was very likely that Chen Yan and Zhao Ying weren’t coming today.

She adjusted the glasses on her nose, pondering why the two didn’t show up.

Unbeknownst to her, Chen Yan had a system with happiness points that refreshed monthly.

Without this critical clue, she was led astray...

"Before, I used to see Chen Yan and Zhao Ying come to the hotel together every day."

"Yesterday, Qiao Qiao also ran into them at the hotel."

"This indicates that they have indeed been meeting privately at the hotel for some time."

"So... why didn’t they come to the hotel after Qiao Qiao followed them?"

At this thought, a bright light flashed through Yang Nuannuan’s mind.

She suddenly understood!

She even realized why Yu Qiao Qiao saw nothing happen between Chen Yan and Zhao Ying!

It was all because Chen Yan and Zhao Ying must have noticed Yu Qiao Qiao yesterday.

Unable to hide, they had no choice but to put on a show, making Yu Qiao Qiao believe they were just exercising!

But after deceiving Yu Qiao Qiao, they knew they had been exposed, so they dared not come again!

The more she thought about it, the more Yang Nuannuan felt this was the truth!

For a moment, hope was rekindled in her heart!

If Chen Yan was indeed giving in to his affections everywhere, then she... could once again vie for Chen Yan, couldn’t she?

As for how she would compete for Chen Yan...

Actually, she had long planned it out.

That day, after chatting with Yu Qiao Qiao, Yang Nuannuan had stood by the window and basically formulated a plan.

Her plan was simple: play hard to get, advance by retreating!

She had already noticed Chen Yan’s wariness and rejection of her.

Although she didn’t know why, she understood that if she continued to throw herself at him relentlessly, it would only invoke greater aversion from Chen Yan.

That’s why, after long hesitation, she decided to leave the company, leave Chen Yan’s life, and even let her "alter ego" leave Chen Yan!

Just to let Chen Yan lose track of her, then begin to lower his guard and become curious about her.

Then, she updated two more Chapters of her novel, specifically introducing a storyline about infidelity. Although it garnered a lot of criticism, she felt it also planted a subconscious suggestion in Chen Yan’s mind: that she didn’t care about men cheating.

That way, once Chen Yan read it, the two could definitely start discussing the topic. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Thinking this, Yang Nuannuan reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and checked her secondary QQ account.

Indeed, there was a new friend request from Chen Yan.

Yang Nuannuan then turned to take out a small notebook from her bag.

The cover of the notebook displayed her delicate handwriting: "Chen Yan Conquest Manual."

Opening the notebook, she added a few more notes, ticked a few checkboxes, then tapped her chin with the pen. After pondering for a while, she wrote a line, "Today at noon, I could try to chat. Tease Chen Yan a bit..."

After writing, Yang Nuannuan closed the notebook, then once again glanced towards the hotel entrance.

Once she confirmed that Chen Yan and Zhao Ying really weren’t coming, Yang Nuannuan, believing she had grasped the truth, stood up and decided to head home.

At noon, Chen Yan asked Yang Rou to join him for a meal at the Twin Towers Hotel.

As a senior executive of Chen Yan’s group, Yang Rou was aware that Chen Yan had "casually" purchased a hotel.

Upon learning of this, apart from marveling at her boss’s wealth and boldness, she became even more curious about her boss’s source of funds.

You see, after joining the company, although she knew that the company’s current earnings were substantial, she was also aware that Chen Yan had not tapped into the company’s money to expand his business empire.

That is to say, the company’s earnings were still there.

So, where was Chen Yan’s personal wealth coming from?

Could it be that there was a mysterious family behind Chen Yan?

One that had always been funneling cash to Chen Yan as they saw his success?

However, curious as she was, with Yang Rou’s personality, she wouldn’t directly ask.

So, this meal was the most boring one Chen Yan ever had.

Yang Rou was almost silent throughout, and when Chen Yan occasionally asked a question, she provided terse answers.

Chen Yan genuinely felt like he was sharing a table with a stranger.

But that was just Yang Rou’s character.

After the meal, Yang Rou called her driver and got into the car with Chen Yan.

The car headed towards Eastern Film City, and Chen Yan, out of boredom, began browsing the news on his phone.

The recent financing of Headline Technology had become the hottest social news.

And with the new round of financing, Headline Technology began to develop vigorously, buying traffic, adding servers, and showing a trend of becoming the third pole in the nation’s internet industry.

While looking at the news, Chen Yan’s phone suddenly popped up a notification: it was a message from QQ.

Since he had contacted that married author last night, Chen Yan had been logged into this secondary QQ account.

And since this account only had that married author added, upon seeing the message alert, Chen Yan paused for a moment, then hastily checked it.

Indeed, the message was related to the married author.

"[The other person has accepted your friend request...]"

And then, a second message followed,

"Sorry, sorry. Something happened at my house, so I deleted you."

A question mark slowly formed above Chen Yan’s head: ?

You had a family issue, so you deleted me.

This excuse... is somewhat hard to accept.

Thinking this, Chen Yan replied, "Hmm. Did something happen?"

But the married author didn’t reply directly, instead saying, "Can you... send me your Alipay account?"

More question marks filled Chen Yan’s mind.

He asked, "What do you need my Alipay account for?"

The married author sent a "begging" emoji, "Please, please. Just give it to me."

Chen Yan thought it over.

He figured that even if the other person knew his Alipay account, without his action, they couldn’t defraud him of money.

Moreover, because he had a lot of money, he didn’t store large sums in Alipay. Even if something went wrong, there wouldn’t be much loss.

So, out of sheer curiosity about what happened to the other party, Chen Yan gave some thought and still shared his Alipay account with them.

To avoid the other party tracing back to him through the Alipay account, Chen Yan even used his email address.
