The outcome was something she hadn't expected.

Yang Nuannuan acted very calmly.

It was as if everything wasn't a big deal at all.

Yang Rou felt a bit of a headache.

Perhaps because she had failed her college entrance exam and went directly into work, she had never been in a relationship.

Moreover, she usually spent less time with Yang Nuannuan.

Therefore, she didn't understand the thoughts of girls nowadays at all.

She felt that, compared to her own youth, the children nowadays seemed to think completely differently.

Back then, she never thought about these embarrassing matters.

While she was thinking this, Yang Nuannuan adjusted her round-frame glasses and slowly started speaking, "Mom, I think... you shouldn't feel any psychological burden."

"You are single. I am single too."

"We originally have the right to bravely pursue the love we desire."

"The only problem is that we happen to love the same person."

At this, she chuckled bitterly, "Even, all of this might just be us overthinking. He has his own girlfriend, and at least for now, he has no relation to either of us."

Hearing Yang Nuannuan's words, Yang Rou also came to her senses.

She thought Yang Nuannuan was right.

Ultimately, Chen Yan really had no relationship with both mother and daughter.

He had his own girlfriends, not just one or two.

And since both she and her daughter were single, what was the problem in liking a man?

The only problem was that it was unexpected that mother and daughter had such similar tastes, both falling for him.

Thinking of this, Yang Rou suddenly realized... she wasn't as insightful about feelings as Yang Nuannuan was.

All the hesitation and indecisiveness, in the end, stemmed from finding out that she and her daughter liked the same person.

But let's not forget, that person hadn't shown any attitude.

With this thought, Yang Rou couldn't help remembering Chen Yan's hints and explicit expressions...

Wait... it seemed like she had shown attitude.

Yang Rou felt a bit confused.

Since her school days, her mind had been only filled with studies, and after starting work, only her career. She really didn't understand these romantic relationships at all.

Maybe sensing her mother's confusion, Yang Nuannuan spoke again, "Mom, I think... if you like Chen Yan, you should bravely pursue your love."

"I understand your thoughts."

"Feeling awkward about liking the person I like."

"Feeling like if you and Chen Yan got together, you'd be taking the person I like."

"Or fearing that if you and Chen Yan get together, it would make me more embarrassed."

Yang Nuannuan slowly shook her head, looking a bit melancholic, "Actually... you really don't need to mind me."

She continued, "The few times I've interacted with Chen Yan or tried to chase after him..."

"He showed no interest in me."

"I've gradually understood that maybe he isn't my fated one."

"But from his usual actions, it seems he does have some liking for you."

"So, you really shouldn't mind my thoughts."

She stretched lazily, gazing at the quiet and deep sea in the distance, and said, "I think I'm still too young. I haven't seen much of the outside world, nor have I met many good men."

"Maybe it won't be long before I find my true love, meet a more suitable man."

"As for you..."

Yang Nuannuan looked at Yang Rou, her eyes smiling behind her glasses blinked, "Mummy, you're not getting any younger. Aren't you really not planning to be in a relationship?"

Gradually returning to her senses, Yang Rou's gaze turned to Chen Yan in front of her.

Honestly, as a romantic partner, Chen Yan was qualified.

Handsome, wealthy, considerate, generous.

All the words that could describe a high-quality male could be applied to Chen Yan.

Hmm... except that he was somewhat of a playboy.

Thinking of Chen Yan's playboy nature, Yang Rou felt a bit of a headache.

Why did such a good man have such a big issue?

And could love that was divided among many still count as true?

It was because of this concern that although Yang Nuannuan had convinced her to clearly understand her own heart and stop the struggle, Yang Rou had not allowed Chen Yan to succeed in winning her over, keeping him on the hook.

Because she suddenly found... this ambiguous stage more suitable for their relationship and more interesting.

Although she hadn't tasted the sweetness of love, the heart-racing, almost-there-but-not-quite feeling during this ambiguous period was extremely interesting to her.

While she was thinking this, Chen Yan, having heard Yang Rou's words, also chuckled bitterly.

Of course, he knew that his biggest problem now was... the women he couldn't clearly detach from.

He admitted he was somewhat of a scoundrel.

Loving each one, not wanting to let go of any.

After all, beSizer Rou, Zhao Xiaogu, He Mengxue, or the ones before him, each had different personalities, were unique in their own ways.

He really couldn't let go of any of them...

So he shamelessly reached out and took Yang Rou's hand, then said, "Hmm... although I don't know how to handle our relationship."

"But... I hope to bring happiness to each and every one of you."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou was momentarily taken aback, then she rarely chuckled.

After laughing, she made an effort to regain her composure, seriously commenting, "Chen Yan, you really don't hide your greed at all."

"Not counting me, all the girls around you are so good. And yet you still want to have them all."

Chen Yan coughed, then shamelessly said, "Kids make choices. Adults want it all."

Yang Rou looked at Chen Yan's greedy appearance, holding back a smile. Then she shook her head and said, "Have you considered how to manage these girls' relationships?"

"Be honest with them? Let them accept it?"

"Or, one in the south, one in the north, one in the east, and one in the west, without interfering with each other?"

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.

Because he realized... if Yang Rou was added, even the four directions wouldn't be enough.

Yang Rou didn't expect that Chen Yan was actually pondering this.

She lightly punched Chen Yan's shoulder, then said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't understand you young people."

"After all, I can't accept this lifestyle of yours."

She earnestly said, "You have too many people in your heart. And I... don't like crowded places.";

Having said that, Yang Rou sobered up from the alcohol, then got up to leave.

Just as she was about to step out of the Sky Garden, Chen Yan called after her from behind, "Sister Rou, give it a chance!"

Seeing Chen Yan's persistence, and thinking about his kindness toward her over the past two years, Yang Rou rubbed her temples.

Then she turned around, calmly said, "Then first help me get revenge. Let's talk about this later."

She continued, "The Xu brothers, Zhao Qingtian, and those in the film industry who have been unfair to me over the years, I hope they all get what they deserve."

"If you can really do that..."

She paused, then said, "Then maybe... I might give you a chance."

Chen Yan frowned.

Yang Rou saw this, laughed, and said, "What? Think it's too difficult?"

Chen Yan quickly shook his head, "Not that. I just feel... I'm doing all these things, and you still only 'might' give me a chance."

"Can't you say something more certain?"

Perhaps because of the alcohol, her emotions were easily amplified, Yang Rou pouted in a rare child-like way, stubbornly said, "Like it or not. I can't be bothered to talk more with you."

Having said that, she turned and left the Sky Garden.

Watching her graceful retreating figure, Chen Yan rubbed his face.

Ah, men... just weak for women. Born for them, die for them, struggle for them their whole lives.

Men conquer the world to win their beloved women, while women conquer men, and thus the world.

Well, since Yang Rou said so, he would also try hard.

After all, this didn't conflict with his own goals.

It was just incidental.

Thinking this, Chen Yan's spirit once again ignited with fervor!

...

The next day after the celebration, the employees of the Chen Group discovered that their boss seemed like a changed person, full of vigor and determination.

Previously, Chen Yan was considered the laziest in the company.

And probably because he saw himself as too lazy, he even forced others to be lazy with him.

But now, Chen Yan had done a complete one-eighty, full of energy and passion every day.

Shouting "go, go, go," he urged everyone to speed up.

Under Chen Yan's leadership, the salaries and benefits of the few top companies in the industry also started to operate at full capacity.

First was the gaming company.

The new game, incorporating "Mudman Ultimate Elimination" and other new hundred-player battle royale games, had already begun internal testing.

Identified by "Xiao Ha's Instant Camera" as having high potential, Chen Yan had high hopes for it.

Feeling that it might become a pillar industry for his group in the future.

So during this period, he used the 80 billion earned from professional returns and kept investing in it.

Next was the investment company. After acquiring shares in the Headline Company, they didn't stop, and under the management of He Mengxue and Qin Ming, the company invested in many small projects. These projects had also gradually started to develop.

Then came the charity foundation. With official resources and continuous financial support from Chen Yan, the charity foundation had completely spread throughout Qindong Province.

Activities like aiding students, helping orphans and widows, supporting families of martyrs, and assisting disabled people were being carried out energetically.

Next, the agency evolved from Lu Man's Studio under the group also began to recruit aggressively.

With Lu Man and Zhao Xiaogu, two main celebrities in place, Mei Li recruited and hired a bunch of young and beautiful girls.

Reportedly, she was discussing with Yang Rou about producing a show to select female celebrities, but it was still in the planning stages.

Finally, there was the film company.

As the most important point of Yang Rou's bet, Chen Yan gave the most support to the film company.

As the film projects were slow to return money, Chen Yan kept pumping funds into it.

Then while investing money, he also returned the cash, stirring the financial markets in Hong Kong, then continued to invest...

This allowed the projects of the "Sunrise Plan" not only to develop rapidly but also provided more promotional resources for "Medicine God."

Therefore, the promotional channels that were initially seized by the Xu brothers were gradually taken back by Chenlu Film Company.

As summer vacation slowly approached.

The film circle and entertainment circle were shocked.

They never expected that the normally peaceful atmosphere would become so tense.

And the once dormant traditional companies clashed with the unstoppable newcomers, the energy released was terrifying.

Far beyond what the industry expected, promotional resources worth hundreds of millions engulfed the nation like a tsunami.

No matter if you were on Zhihu, WeChat, Weibo, or Toutiao, you could see promotions for "Medicine God" and "Magic City Fortress" everywhere.

Movies released in the same period were directly squeezed out of any resources. Just reduced to mere accessories.

Everyone knew, this summer vacation would be the time when these two movies contested fiercely.

However... Chen Yan was confused.

Because through the system, he already knew the fate of "Magic City Fortress."

He had been vying with the Xu brothers for so long.
