Six years later.

Qin Island. Peninsula Development Zone.

On the eastern side of the entire development zone, close to the cross-sea bridge, stands a huge industrial park.

If a drone were to fly overhead for footage, it would reveal that the industrial park resembles a verdant, flower-filled park.

Within this "park," there are not only running tracks and bicycle lanes, parking lots, but also distinct areas divided by the planting of trees, shrubbery, and fruit.

This is Chen Group's new headquarters, constructed over five years.

The enormous industrial park, with a total investment of 1.68 billion, spans an area of about 55 acres, with a building area of approximately 160,000 square meters and can accommodate 13,000 people working.

At the heart of this industrial park stands a high-rise about 12-stories tall, where the topmost floor houses the core of Chen Group: the Chairman's office level.

And now, inside the Chairman's office, Chen Yan sat on the luxurious boss's chair, hand propped against his cheek, leg crossed, looking out the window reminiscing over the past six years.

Ever since acquiring two special abilities and gaining support from the nation, Chen International Group developed rapidly worldwide.

Even the publicly disclosed assets of Chen Group had already surpassed 6 trillion RMB.

It was the largest company in the country and among the top 10 behemoths globally.

The companies ranking around it included Apple, Saudi Aramco, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Tencent, Ali, and Berkshire.

That was just on the surface, in secret, the wealth controlled by Chen Yan was even more astounding.

To put it bluntly, the current Chen Yan, if he wished, could manipulate the economies of some middle to large-sized countries....

Besides professional accomplishments, there have been significant changes in Chen Yan's love life as well.

Originally, Chen Yan thought that after marrying, everyone would live together, share a big bed, and enjoy the bliss of a shared life.

As it turned out, he was thinking too much.

Whether it was the pride each woman held or some kind of agreement they reached in secret.

After the marriage, aside from a honeymoon where six people spent time together, once back in the country, the women busied themselves with their own careers, only leaving Yu Qiao Qiao by Chen Yan's side.

At first, Chen Yan was somewhat confused.

But later he found that life was actually quite enjoyable and even managed to complete the final business storyline in the game, so he accepted this reality and gave his utmost to help them succeed in their careers....

...

In these six years.

There is no need to mention Yang Rou.

As the helmsman of Chen Group's entertainment division, her main task was to promote domestic films to the entire world.

Though the progress was slow, perhaps because of this, she had a goal to strive for, so she worked with exceptional zest and zeal....

....

Zhao Ying was a bit more unique.

She enjoyed boxing and gossip. Chen Yan organized numerous mixed martial arts and Martial Arts competitions for her and handed over control of multiple media outlets he acquired worldwide to her.

After her health recovered and her intelligence returned, knowing that she was not cut out for business management, aside from demanding a summary of various gossip information for her perusal, she did not interfere in the operation of any media company.....

....

He Meng Xue.

Although He Ruifeng's condition was to have her leave the He family, after being angry for a while, he still wanted her to come back.

However, He Meng Xue did not return.

Truthfully, even setting aside her feelings for Chen Yan, the sense of achievement in building a business empire from nothing beside Chen Yan was more attractive than returning to the He family to maintain an inheritance.

After several years of development, He Meng Xue had become the helmsperson of the world's largest investment institution: Dream Fund.

This international investment institution has absorbed a colossal amount of capital worldwide and then invested in startup companies around the globe.

So far, several hundred listed companies and thousands of companies across various industries have been directly or indirectly controlled by Dream Fund.

Of course, what outsiders didn't know was.

The capital absorbed by Dream Fund was actually almost entirely funds that Chen Yan had churned through in stock markets, oil futures, and Gold futures, then siphoned through financial means....

...

Compared to the others, Lu Man was the most leisurely.

Under Chen Yan's urging, she took part seriously in the filming and production of "Hello, Mom".

In the later promotional stages, as a first-line Celebrity, she naturally took the helm.

This film about two women wasn't highly anticipated prior to release, but ended up being a huge hit during next year's holiday season.

With a box office of 5.3 billion, it made the year's box office champion a certainty and made the film one of the top three in domestic box office history.

And Lu Man, washing away her reputation as a mascot with this movie and starring in three other billion-grossing movies, undoubtedly became the top-grossing actress in domestic box office history.

This sort of exaggerated success, popularity, and her status in the industry unquestionably elevated her to a super A-list Celebrity status.

Everyone thought Lu Man would continue to soar to the heights of the industry.

But a comedian is a comedian, and upon reaching the top, Lu Man suddenly felt that it was all meaningless.

So she began to be idle, only engaging in work that was necessary to appease her parents, while spending most of her time at home, playing indescribable games with Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao.

Such as sister, aunt, nurse, even an Avatar....

....

As for Yu Qiao Qiao.

After a serious talk with Chen Yan, she left the Charity Organization and became the most ordinary company employee.

After making breakfast for Chen Yan in the morning, she would take the bus to work.

After work, she would shop for groceries, then head home to cook and patiently wait for Chen Yan to return.

Back at home, the two would have dinner together, chatting about work and life.

After dinner, they would cuddle on the sofa to watch TV or listen to music.

On weekends, she would return to the orphanage to help the matron, look after the newly reopened facility, or do volunteer work, caring for the elderly in need.

Her life was simple and happy.

Surrounded by family, with her lover by her side, harmonious with colleagues and neighbors.

Of course, Chen Yan didn't tell her that the small company had already been secretly acquired by him.

He just wanted to silently protect her small, simple happiness....

...

Thoughts returning, Chen Yan snapped back to the present, looking at the phone on the desk.

Then he picked up the phone and clicked on the long-unopened Virtual Girlfriend Simulator.

Upon opening the game, five notifications appeared before him.

They all similarly informed Chen Yan that he had completed his girlfriends' career lines and could now view "their lives without Chen Yan's participation"....

Chen Yan held the phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally, he clicked to open it silently...

After a short while, five orbs of light drifted towards Chen Yan, and scenes from several of his girlfriends' lives appeared in his mind....

Chen Yan gradually came back to his senses after an indeterminate amount of time, but by the look in his eyes, he was still immersed in those five different lives.....

Among the women,

Zhao Ying had a rather straightforward life.

The Zhao Ying without Chen Yan, after the failure of Zhao Xuan's power struggle and learning of her own origins, went to Wutai Mountain to see her master and dedicated herself to spiritual practice.

There, free from dishonesty and scheming, she had the mountains, water, birdsong, and flowers....

In contrast, the lives of Yang Rou, Lu Man, and Yu Qiao Qiao were rather bleak.

Due to the Xu brothers' dominance in the entertainment industry, Yang Rou's career never progressed further.

Having switched multiple companies but still unable to become the coveted CEO, she decidedly ventured to start her own business around forty years old.

However, due to the combined suppression of the Xu brothers and Zhao Qingtian, her company never developed and she remained sullen...

Lu Man.

Apart from Chen Yan's interference, Lu Man successfully entered Director Zhang's crew to be part of that grand production.

After release, the performance of the major production was as lackluster as in the real world.

When a project fails, someone has to take responsibility, so Lu Man was pushed out by both the Xu brothers and Director Zhang to become the scapegoat.

Her reputation in the industry plummeted, her momentum stymied. She struggled to get roles for a long time.

She had subsequent encounters with indecent proposals from a director in a small production crew and decisively chose to leave the showbiz world after causing a scene.

Back in her hometown, with her attractive appearance, she had no shortage of suitors.

But due to her entertainment background, while many admired her, they also feared her past.

Indeed, that industry's chaos is nearly universally acknowledged.

Lu Man, due to her pride, didn't want to settle for the odd glances from others and remained alone for life…

Yu Qiao Qiao.

She graduated from Qin Island University, found an ordinary job, but the ongoing concern for the matron and her younger siblings meant she kept going back to help, and saved money to support the siblings' education.

Under the pressures of life, she never fancied love and remained unmarried.

Under her care, the matron lived out her years peacefully, and with her financial aid, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi all smoothly completed their education and built careers and families.

Just as she finished bustling for those around her and could finally live for herself, her youthful frugality may have caught up to her, and a lingering ailment left her bedridden....

Among the women, only He Meng Xue lived well.

Without Chen Yan's disruption and with He Ruifeng paving the way, she smoothly rose within Wutong Group and gradually took over the entire He family's power.

Furthermore, over these years of development, her temperament matured, her capabilities honed, and she recognized Qindong's cousin, Qin Ming's exceptional talents.

With her at the helm and Qin Ming's assistance, the He family flourished in its "second spring," riding the fast track of internet development, standing tall through several waves, becoming a pillar of Qindong province.

And in her thirties, she married into a large, influential family from another province, further extending the He family's reach into other provinces and cities.

One could say that her entire life was devoted to giving, striving, and sacrificing for the He family....

After coming to his senses, Chen Yan couldn't quite decide whether such a life was good or bad for her....

While Chen Yan pondered this, suddenly, his office door was "knocked" upon.

Chen Yan came back to reality, then locked his phone screen and called out, "Come in."

The door opened, but no one entered; instead, two small heads peeked in.

One was Yu Qiao Qiao, the other He Meng Xue.

Seeing Chen Yan inside, He Meng Xue smiled sweetly while Yu Qiao Qiao's beautiful eyes curved into two rainbows with laughter.

"Chen Yan? Are you free? Let's have lunch together."

Looking at his beloved women, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile and agreed, "Sure."

Exiting the office, the three walked side by side, with both girls hand in hand, chattering aside, their faces showing their uncontainable happiness and joy, different from those in his recent memories.

Observing their profiles, Chen Yan's thoughts drifted once more:

Actually... isn't it quite nice to be with me?

——————(End of Book)——————

Epilogue.

Back in his office, staring at the successive prompts on his mobile phone screen, Chen Yan fell into deep thought.

[Detection: Player has completed the Virtual Girlfriend Simulator with five girlfriends and has earned the last selectable Virtual Girlfriend slot. Please choose the last Virtual Girlfriend and complete the game in time.]

[After completion, you will obtain a "Spiritual Ability Seed" for each of the six girlfriends.]

[Entities granted this "Spiritual Ability Seed" will birth spiritual energy within, greatly improving their Constitution. Not only will they remain eternally youthful but also impervious to illness and live a long and healthy life.]

"Spiritual Ability Seed?" Chen Yan felt the continuous power within him and recalled the words of Zhao Ying's master, hesitating a bit, "Is this spiritual energy?"

"So, just by obtaining spiritual energy, can one remain eternally youthful, immune to disease, and live to a ripe old age?"

At that moment, Chen Yan felt fortunate for having chosen Yang Rou, despite having already been with her, as his Virtual Girlfriend.

After all, if he hadn't chosen Yang Rou at the time but selected another girl at random, Yang Rou wouldn't have had this blessing.

Of course, it was also because he chose Yang Rou back then that Chen Yan now faced another issue.

One last slot left, whom to choose?

It seemed there were no other women particularly close to him anymore.

And Chen Yan didn't want the system to choose at random. After all, this was a slot for "immortality."

As he pondered, his office door was suddenly "knocked" upon.

Chen Yan couldn't help but look up and ask, "Who is it?"

"Brother Yan, it's Yang Nuan Nuan. I have some work to report to you...."

Epilogue 2.

"Xiao Ha, do you think... after all we've done, will they really be happy? Can they be as happy as the Master with Chu Xia, Lin Jiali, Tang Jing, Pan Zhaodi, and Qu Xiaomeng?"

"Woof woof woof!"

"Speak human language!"

"I'm saying I couldn't care less, I only want Janet...."
