My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 364: This Woman is Really Wild

Chen Yan didn’t think too much about it.

After all, he had always known that Yang Nuannuan was up to no good with him.

But while he was busy, Yang Nuannuan kept hovering in front of him, which annoyed him a bit.

So, he looked at Yang Nuannuan and tapped the desk impatiently, asking, "Nuan Nuan, do you need something?"

Yang Nuannuan, with her thorough mind, wasn’t surprised that Chen Yan would ask. She had prepared her script well in advance.

So she went with the explanation she had already thought of and said somewhat sheepishly to Chen Yan, "I do have something. Chen Yan... uh, that is, I want a raise."

Chen Yan had thought of many possibilities, but not this one.

He couldn’t help asking, "Are you... short on money lately?"

Holding a garbage can and looking down, Yang Nuannuan said with embarrassment, "Yes. I spent a bit more during the recent holiday, and I was too embarrassed to ask my mother for money..."

Chen Yan helplessly smacked his forehead and said, "What’s the big deal about that? You should’ve just told me directly."

"Hovering around and also holding up my work."

After speaking, he paused for a thought and continued, "Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll call finance in a bit to increase your salary to the level of a regular employee. You won’t be paid as a part-timer anymore. Is that okay?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yang Nuannuan nodded repeatedly, "That’s fine, that’s fine. Thank you, Chen Yan."

Chen Yan simply smiled without a care.

Yang Nuannuan’s salary was on the books of the film and television company, and the money spent there could be counted as Profession wealth points, so no matter how much Yang Nuannuan took, Chen Yan could earn twice as much, feeling mighty pleased.

After discussing Yang Nuannuan’s matter, Chen Yan indifferently lowered his head to get back to his busy work.

However, just as he was about to return to his tasks, as if something had just occurred to him, he suddenly looked up and said, "Right. I’ll increase Yu Qiao Qiao’s salary too. Remember to explain it to Qiao Qiao."

Yang Nuannuan was taken aback.

This Chen Yan was really relentless in finding ways to give Yu Qiao Qiao money.

To those unaware, it would seem as if he would gain some advantage by giving Yu Qiao Qiao money.

But then, a boyfriend being good to his girlfriend was none of Yang Nuannuan’s business.

All she could do was to nod while enduring the sour taste of lemons.

Seeing Yang Nuannuan’s agreement and the prospect of a few tens of thousands coming in, Chen Yan was in a good mood, so he waved his hand and said to Yang Nuannuan, "Alright then. Since there’s nothing else, you go and get busy."

"You don’t need to clean up here; the cleaner will do it."

Yang Nuannuan nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then I won’t clean. Hmm... Should I just take out the trash for you?"

Chen Yan didn’t pay much attention to Yang Nuannuan’s words.

Ever since his fortune started to grow, people coming by to make their presence felt or to curry favor with him were not unusual.

Things like taking out the trash were no more than trivial matters.

So he just nodded and said nonchalantly, "Okay. Thanks for that."

Meanwhile, Yang Nuannuan, having reached her "ultimate goal," secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

She cheerfully carried the garbage bag out of Chen Yan’s office.

Once outside the office, she looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, sneakily put the garbage bag in her bag, and then took the stairs down...

To keep her actions confidential, she didn’t return to the film and television company on the 17th floor but instead took the elevator to the vacant space on the 8th floor.

Upon reaching the 8th floor, Yang Nuannuan slipped into the restroom, took out a pair of rubber gloves from her pocket, and began to search through Chen Yan’s trash.

Thankfully, it was office trash, mostly made up of documents — had it been domestic waste, Yang Nuannuan probably couldn’t bring herself to do it.

After a careful search inside, Yang Nuannuan realized that Chen Yan was more cautious than she had imagined.

Perhaps as a boss with many business secrets, Chen Yan’s office was equipped with a professional paper shredder, turning all documents into strips, making them impossible to read.

She even spotted traces of burning and ashes amidst some paper scraps.

In other words, Chen Yan not only shredded documents but would also burn them after shredding.

He was being extremely careful indeed!

Yang Nuannuan was speechless.

How was she supposed to investigate like this?

She temporarily placed the garbage bag on the ground and closed her eyes, recalling how she had snuck peeks at Chen Yan’s computer screen while cleaning.

There were many sticky notes on Chen Yan’s screen and plenty of software visible.

She did indeed see a stock trading application...

However, because Chen Yan was constantly working on documents, most of the screen was obscured, so Yang Nuannuan couldn’t see any specific information.

But from this, she at least confirmed one thing: Chen Yan was indeed trading stocks recently.

After analyzing for a while and feeling that she had gained something, Yang Nuannuan once again looked at the bag of paper scraps and silently nodded to herself.

"Nuan Nuan, you can do it! Work overtime tonight to sort it out!"

Even though Chen Yan was very cautious, Yang Nuannuan believed that no person could operate without leaving any traces.

Although the shredder and lighter could destroy most of the information, she didn’t need the full picture — just a clue. With the other pieces of information she had, Yang Nuannuan felt she could roughly determine the relationship between Chen Yan and that uncle!

So she thought, the truth was only a step away!

Qiao Qiao, rest assured. I will definitely earn back that 10% of your 30 million safely!

.....

And at this time, Chen Yan had no clue that Yang Nuannuan was conducting an investigation on his alternate identity.

After last night’s hectic Peninsula Club event, he was busy again.

In the afternoon, he met separately with the tycoons he had made appointments with the day before to firm up on the resources they pledged.

Perhaps because these resources weren’t of significant value, those tycoons treated it as doing Chen Yan a favor and asked for nothing in return.

Chen Yan took note of this kindness and also recorded the resources they had provided.

The resources given by the three tycoons were diverse.

The first tycoon knew someone reputable and capable in the Charity Organization sector who reportedly owed him a favor. With just a phone call, he could poach that talent for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan had Qin Ming investigate this person and found them to be a truly impressive talent with a passionate heart for charity.

The second tycoon gave Chen Yan the contact information for the chairman of the Qindong Province Charity Federation, saying this person was a bigwig overseeing all charity work in Qindong Province, and a genuine partner for cooperation if Chen Yan wanted to know about specific charity projects.

He had been looking every year for wealthy individuals interested in philanthropy.

The third tycoon was also involved in charity, so he shared many insights and pitfalls of the charity field with Chen Yan, potentially saving him from detours.

Overall, Chen Yan made substantial gains.

That night, Chen Yan called Yu Qiao Qiao to discuss the progress of their charity foundation.

While Chen Yan was pushing forward, Yu Qiao Qiao wasn’t idle either.

She had gone over to Jiang Nanxing’s house and spent a long time cleaning, eventually convincing Jiang Nanxing to join Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao’s Charity Organization.

With this development, Chen Yan felt that the structure of the charity fund should be considered mature.

He, as the main sponsor, could nominally become the chairman, with the talent introduced by the tycoon and Jiang Nanxing serving as deputies in charge of the charity work.

Yu Qiao Qiao would learn from the two of them initially and take over Chen Yan’s position after graduation.

As for the rest of the positions, they could simply have that talent and Jiang Nanxing use their connections to recruit others who were passionate about charity and fill the organization.

As for the projects, it would depend on what the chairman of the Charity Federation could offer him.

After sorting through the entire situation of the charity fund, Chen Yan talked with Yu Qiao Qiao for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

After ending the call, Chen Yan went to the bathroom to wash up and climbed into bed, ready to sleep.

As he lay in bed, Chen Yan couldn’t help but recall the scene of He Mengxue taking good care of him the night before. He hesitated for a moment but still sent her a message.

[Have you gone to bed?]

........

At He Mengxue’s home in Qin Island.

He Mengxue was in the thick of things, making frantic phone calls.

"What? It fell through?"

The company’s vice president’s voice came through the phone, speaking with an awkward laugh, "Director He, it’s not exactly that it fell through. It’s just that the other party never intended to negotiate with us."

"You’re well aware of their attitude. They’ve always looked down on our small company."

"Their financing team is mainly negotiating with well-known VCs like Redwood."

Hearing the vice president’s words, He Mengxue also fell silent.

Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she knew the vice president was right.

Although the other party had been quite accommodating towards them, they showed no intention to discuss.

She had sensed this early on, which was why she had returned to Qin Island. And the reason she hadn’t reported to Chen Yan was simply that she hoped for a miracle.

For instance, that the other party would break off negotiations with Redwood and other well-known VCs.

Or perhaps they would feel that those large financial groups could influence their company’s strategy, and so on.

Therefore, during this time, she had also been making calls, trying to express these concerns to the chairman of the opposing company.

But before she could reach out, her company’s negotiations had already broken down.

He Mengxue felt a bit helpless.

What was to be done now?

Just give up?

Go back to Chen Yan with her tail between her legs, defeated?

He Mengxue bit her lip, feeling quite reluctant.

She kept thinking that this was the first task Chen Yan had given her. If she failed even this, she would feel too ashamed to face Chen Yan...

And while she was mulling over this, suddenly, her phone chimed with a "ding-dong" — a new message arrived.

He Mengxue picked up her phone to look.

Chen Yan, [Have you gone to bed?]

Seeing Chen Yan’s message immediately made He Mengxue’s heart skip a beat. Did Chen Yan know about the situation?

Was that why he was contacting her about this matter?

With this in mind, she promptly gritted her teeth and replied, [Give me a little bit more time, and I’ll definitely sort it out!]

Yet at this moment... On the other end of the phone screen, Chen Yan, seeing He Mengxue’s reply, slowly exhaled two question marks above his head.

Give her a bit more time, and she’ll sort it out?

Sort out what?

Me?

Chen Yan: .....

This woman is really wild. I simply asked "Have you gone to bed?" and she’s set on sorting me out... ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
