Chen Yu found someone to confide in, and he unleashed a torrent of bitterness, denouncing all sorts of chaos. He started with frontline news gathering, then moved on to the leadership, society, and the entire media industry, launching into a furious attack.
When others are talking excitedly, it is best not to interrupt, because it is a very pleasant thing to speak freely. It is really refreshing to be able to vent the depression in your heart after being depressed for a long time.
Wang Yan not only didn't interrupt, he listened with a smile of approval, occasionally chiming in and chiming in at crucial moments.
Chen Yu had almost finished expressing his distress when he remembered why he came here and what the person sitting opposite him was doing. He also felt that something was amiss and smiled apologetically at Wang Yan: "I'm sorry, I was excited and said too much." After that, he picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're absolutely right. Many of my ideas coincide with yours, which makes me admire you even more." Wang Yan waved his hand, suppressing Chen Yu's polite and modest words, and said with a smile: "After saying so much, I think we should get to the point."
"You say."
"I told you on the phone earlier that I want to start my own media business. My words about spreading truth, kindness, and beauty weren't empty words. And through what you just said, I know you're a person with ideals, a sense of responsibility, and a willingness to take on responsibility. I'm very optimistic about you. So, I'd like to hand this over to someone as upright as you. I'd like you to take charge of everything and build a company with a conscience from scratch. What do you think? Would you be willing to come and help me?"
Hearing that he was to be the big brother, Chen Yu was stunned for a moment. Of course, being the big brother would be a good thing. After all, if he really were to be the big brother, compared to the rank at the TV station, that would be a huge jump.
Faced with this pie-in-the-sky opportunity, it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited. But Chen Yu was an honest man. He knew his own level as a frontline reporter and had a clear understanding of his own abilities. He couldn't let down others' trust.
I immediately shook my head and refused, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, the position you've offered me is too high. I'm just a small reporter, and my abilities are really limited. Thank you for your appreciation, but I can't let you down. I'm truly sorry, Mr. Wang, but I'm not qualified for the position you've offered me."
"Don't be so quick to refuse. How can you say you can't do something if you haven't even tried it? You've been a journalist for so many years and know a lot of people in the industry. You should know all those things, but you've just never been there, never made the decision." Wang Yan smiled and said, "And most importantly, if you don't have the ability, you can still learn and improve. I only value character; other things are irrelevant. As long as you work hard, you can definitely do it. I'm not in a rush for results. You have plenty of time, so just take your time."
Seeing Chen Yu opening his mouth to explain, Wang Yan interrupted and asked, "What is your salary at the TV station?"
Chen Yu thought for a moment and politely replied, "Including the project bonus and other miscellaneous items, it's probably less than 200,000."
Wang Yan waved his hand and said directly, "Then I'll double it for you, round it up to 500,000 after tax, with full benefits. Don't say anything more. I know you're worried, but I don't care about Chen Yu. What do you have to worry about? It's settled!"
He stood up and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder: "Go back and hurry up to complete the resignation procedures. The company is currently being acquired. Call me when you have completed the resignation procedures. You can follow up and participate then. I am leaving."
After saying this, Wang Yan left without a care in the world, regardless of Chen Yu's reaction. After all, with such good conditions and such a great position, what was there to refuse? What was there to hesitate about? To put it bluntly, even if Chen Yu was truly incompetent and had bankrupted the company, Wang Yan would still support him. This little money was nothing.
After leaving the coffee shop, Wang Yan took a taxi back to Tianyue Mansion. When he got home, Gu Jia had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him to come back and eat together.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Ziyan, who had been waiting impatiently, ran over and hugged Wang Yan's thighs: "Dad, you are finally back. I was starving to death."
Wang Yan changed his shoes, bent down and picked up Xu Ziyan: "Why don't you eat if you are hungry?"
"Mom insisted that we wait for you to come back and eat together."
"Really? At that moment I said to my mother, how can you not let the children eat? Don't feel wronged, let's go wash our hands and then eat."
Wang Yan took Xu Ziyan to the bathroom to wash their hands. While they were there, Gu Jia also brought the dishes to the table.
The three of them sat around the table to eat. Wang Yan picked up a piece of food for Xu Ziyan with his chopsticks. Looking at Xu Ziyan who was eating with big mouthfuls of rice, he said, "In this situation from now on, you don't have to wait for me, just eat directly. Look how hungry Ziyan is."
Gu Jia smiled and nodded in agreement. She just wanted Wang Yan to feel a greater sense of belonging.
They talked and laughed throughout the meal. Xu Ziyan played tricks on the guy, while Gu Jia took care of the children while talking about some small things that happened during the day's outing. It was a very happy occasion.
After dinner, as usual, there was a warm family activity, and Wang Yan and Gu Jia played with Xu Ziyan.
After coaxing their child to sleep, Gu Jia and Wang Yan did their daily loving activities as a couple.
“Hiss… Huh…”
Holding Gu Jia in his arms, Wang Yan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I forgot to tell you during dinner that I'm going to Hong Kong Island tomorrow and will be back on Monday. Will you take the kids with you? If you do, I might not have time to play with you, so it will be just the two of you going shopping."
Gu Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "No, you don't have time. Ziyan has to go to school on Monday. It won't be fun for two days. Then Ziyan will make trouble again."
"That's fine, then you can stay home with Ziyan. When we have time later, we can go over there and play."
Wang Yan responded, and after chatting in private for a while, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Wang Yan packed up and boarded a flight to Hong Kong Island. It was already afternoon when he arrived.
After walking out of the airport, I called a taxi, told the hotel address, and asked the driver to drive to the address.
Taxi drivers are all like that, they like to chat when they have nothing to do, after all, just driving is really boring.
Wang Yan chatted casually with his master, his eyes fixed on the window. The last time he'd been here was in the 1990s, during the filming of "Infernal Affairs." Twenty years later, Hong Kong Island had changed somewhat, after all, it wasn't the "Four Little Dragons" of the past. But he didn't have too many regrets; "Infernal Affairs" wasn't anything to linger on.
After arriving, they booked a suite at the hotel. After putting their things away, Wang Yan walked to the balcony and made a phone call: "Hello, Zhao Jingyu?"
…
"I think we can have a chat about Liang Zhengxian."
…
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yan lay in the chair and looked at the scenery for a while. When he thought it was about time, he set off to the place he had agreed to meet with Zhao Jingyu.
It wasn't far; after all, the hotel was near Zhao Jingyu's home. The agreed-upon place was also nearby, a teahouse. Wang Yan arrived earlier and ordered a pot of tea, which he sipped slowly.
After a while, Zhao Jingyu came over on time and sat opposite.
Wang Yan looked her up and down. This woman's appearance didn't quite suit his taste, but she wore high heels, had beautiful clothes, was very feminine, and had a bit of charm...
Wang Yan extended his hand to her and said, "Hello, Wang Yan."
"Zhao Jingyu."
The two shook hands, and Wang Yan took the opportunity to feel it. It was okay, quite tender.
"What did you want to talk to me about Liang Zhengxian?"
Zhao Jingyu didn't mindlessly ask silly questions like "Who are you?" or "How did you find me?" After all, the fact that they'd approached her directly and mentioned Liang Zhengxian meant they'd investigated thoroughly. As for who Wang Yan was, was there any doubt? Liang Zhengxian must have been messing around and provoked him.
She asked bluntly, so Wang Yan naturally got straight to the point: "I know you've been with him for several years, and he's been flirting with other women everywhere without caring about you. Do you want to get away from Liang Zhengxian?"
Zhao Jingyu smiled and said, "Why should I leave him? What good would that do me? Isn't my life good enough now? If that's all you have to say, then let's not waste each other's time."
"I know you've been secretly transferring a lot of assets behind his back, Zhao Jingyu. If that's what you really want, why did you do it?" Wang Yan directly exposed her disguise. "Besides, you've been with him for seven years and nothing has come of it. Can you say for sure when someone better than you will come along and he'll kick you out, leaving you penniless? If you leave him, you'll have more money than you can spend in your lifetime, no one to restrict you, you can do whatever you want, have boyfriends whenever you want, and even change eight people a day. Isn't that a good life?"
What he talked about were all tangible benefits. Zhao Jingyu had been devotedly following Liang Zhengxian for so many years, dealing with Liang Zhengxian's mess on a daily basis. How could there be any affection or love left for him?
After hearing Wang Yan's words, Zhao Jingyu fell silent. After all, what he said was true. To say she had no thoughts would be a lie. She simply had no other options. Hong Kong was a unique environment. Families like Liang Zhengxian's were known for their connections to both black and white. As a woman who depended on men for support, she couldn't escape Liang Zhengxian's control.
Now it seems that this is indeed an opportunity. After all, it is obvious that they are well prepared. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, there is no harm in giving it a try. Zhao Jingyu thought about it and asked cautiously, "What are you going to do?"
Wang Yan nodded, his tone strong: "I'll give you half a month to speed up the transfer of assets. I guarantee that Liang Zhengxian won't have a chance to find trouble with you. The rest has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."
After all, he has controlled a giant group, been a big boss, and is decisive in killing. Wang's power is no joke.
Although the Liang family wasn't a top-tier family, Zhao Jingyu had spent years in Hong Kong, and she'd seen the world. She was familiar with Wang Yan's unwavering determination and his ability to control life and death, which gave her confidence. At least the man sitting across from her wasn't a nobody.
If she believed what a strange man said based on just a few words, then she must be sick. But Wang Yan's aura conquered her after all, so she could believe it for the time being.
Of course, the main reason was that she had nothing to lose. After all, Wang Yan had only asked her to transfer property; nothing else mattered to her. She was quite experienced in this area, having spent years doing it, both large and small, and now it was just a matter of speeding up the process. But she still had to be careful. If Wang Yan boasted to them, and she made a big move and was caught, the consequences would be disastrous. Overall, however, the risk was minimal.
Zhao Jingyu thought for a long time, then looked up and said to Wang Yan affirmatively, "Okay."
Seeing her agree, Wang Yan took a sip of tea and said, "This is the main reason I came to see you. As for the secondary matters..." He glanced at her from head to toe and said, "Would you be interested in coming over for a drink? Let's celebrate your upcoming freedom in advance?"
Zhao Jingyu wasn't an ignorant little girl, so seeing Wang Yan's aggressive and presumptuous gaze was understandable. Even though she'd only seen Wang Yan for less than ten minutes, it didn't matter. After all, Liang Zhengxian had been scamming young girls all over the world, leaving her stranded in Hong Kong. How could she not be lonely? She'd suffered for Liang Zhengxian for years, and now that he had made enemies, she was happy to see it happen. So, there was no harm in getting in touch; they were all adults.
And after this brief acquaintance, she could also tell that Wang Yan was no ordinary contestant. Being stared at by Wang Yan was a little unbearable, so she nodded immediately and said, "Of course."
"Very good." Wang Yan drank the tea, stood up, straightened his clothes, and tilted his head to look at her: "Then let's go?" As he spoke, he extended his arms.
Zhao Jingyu smiled reservedly, picked up her bag, and consciously put her arm around his.
The two of them walked out of the teahouse, chatting and laughing like a real couple, and strolled to the hotel where Wang Yan was staying...
The next day, Wang Yan slept until he woke up naturally. Feeling full of energy, he sat up and stretched.
Zhao Jingyu, who was still sleeping, felt Wang Yan's movements and woke up with a "hmm".
After taking a shower and getting ready, the two went out to find a restaurant for lunch.
While eating, Wang Yan asked, "Do you have anything to do later?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"I'll be back tomorrow. You can go shopping with me and buy some gifts. I'm not very good at buying women's things."
After a trip, you can't go back empty-handed. Women, no matter how old they are, always like gifts and surprises.
"No problem." Zhao Jingyu replied.
She didn't say any unnecessary nonsense. She told people to buy it for whoever they wanted. It had nothing to do with her.
After dinner, Zhao Jingyu took Wang Yan to the luxury store she often visited.
Wang Yan didn't say anything and took out Gu Jia's photo and asked her to match it.
Zhao Jingyu can be considered a lady after all, and she makes a living by pleasing men, so she knows this stuff very well.
She also knew that Wang Yan was not short of money, so she bought a lot of things.
In short, he spent the whole day shopping and bought a lot of things, including clothes, shoes, bags, watches and so on. Anyway, his house was big enough to put them all in, so he just left his address and asked them to mail them to his house, and he didn't have to go through the trouble of carrying them back.
At night, Zhao Jingyu naturally did not leave, and lingered. From beginning to end, she never asked Wang Yan why he wanted to deal with Liang Zhengxian. That was not important, right?
After another wonderful night, Wang Yan gave some instructions to Zhao Jingyu and boarded the flight back to Shanghai.
In reality, his trip to Hong Kong was specifically for Zhao Jingyu. Firstly, Wang Yan's attack on Liang Zhengxian could easily harm innocent people. It would be a shame to take down Zhao Jingyu, a woman manipulated by Liang Zhengxian and who hadn't offended him. Secondly, he wanted to get in touch with her, so he could be worthy of his name and Lao Cao.
There is nothing else. Zhao Jingyu has no say and cannot influence the overall situation. She is not of much use.
Zhao Jingyu still held some weight in Liang Zhengxian's heart. If Liang Zhengxian treated her this way, Wang Yan would probably humiliate him.
Good boy, he was just looking for trouble to step on Wang to show off his face, showing off his muscles, and making a deep impression on him. One was the betrayal of a woman, and the other was the wealth he relied on. These two combined made Liang Zhengxian probably have thoughts of death.
As for Liang Zhengxian's other family members, Wang Yan had investigated them when he first arrived in this world, and none of them were good people.
Hong Kong used to have polygamy, and their family was quite large. The children used all means to fight for the family property, competed unfairly with their rivals, and engaged in many other illegal activities. There were a lot of messes.
Wang Yan didn't want to endanger their lives. It wasn't worth it, and he wasn't that cruel. He just let them live on the streets, so they wouldn't be idle and act cool all the time.
When the plane landed, it was noon, so I took a taxi back to Tianyue Mansion.
Before coming back, Wang Yan told Gu Jia about it. But she insisted on coming to pick him up, so he didn't let Gu Jia come. She just did what she had to do, why bother with that?
When I got home, Gu Jia was not there. She was playing level-up with the wives in the dessert shop.
After putting down my things, I had a quick meal downstairs and went to the company.
Because his phone was turned off, Chen Yu sent him a message saying that he had completed the resignation procedures.
After meeting Wang Yan that day, I was full of longing for the upcoming challenges and a better life.
I went back happily and prepared a table full of food to celebrate.
Zhong Xiaoqin divorced him, but they still lived together. When she came back and saw Chen Yu looking so well, she thought something was wrong and asked him out of curiosity.
Chen Yu didn't mention Wang Yan, but said that someone asked him to offer him a job, asking him to be the boss with a salary of 50 yuan and full benefits.
After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin was also happy for a moment. It was over. What did it have to do with her? On the surface, she congratulated him, but how she felt about it was up to her.
Chen Yu happily spent two days of vacation and submitted his resignation early this morning.
Although Chen Yu has been working for many years and has rich experience, he is not indispensable for such a large TV station.
Furthermore, his boss, who had numerous complaints about him, agreed to the change the moment he proposed it. They didn't even ask why, and the process went through with remarkable speed. His colleagues hadn't reacted much to his sudden departure.
For this kind of person, the tea got cold before he even left. He felt how much of a failure he was and was sad for a while.
Fortunately, he had a friend named Man who cared about him and asked him why he wanted to resign, which made him feel warm.
Chen Yu told the truth and told him the position and salary that Wang Yan gave him.
When he heard the salary, Man Ge yelled in surprise: "How much? Five hundred thousand? And after tax?"
This shout was so loud that the colleagues who had been indifferent before gathered around and asked questions.
After figuring it out, they mentally cursed the boss for being stupid, asking why the pie didn't fall on their heads. But outwardly, they still had to congratulate him. After all, Chen Yu had achieved a great success, and he might be able to ask for help from him in the future. They all said that they would keep in touch.
Apart from watching TV and reading novels, Chen Yu had never seen such a scene of worshipping Buddha, let alone experiencing it in person. Faced with all kinds of compliments, he was still a little flattered.
He didn't say much, though; he wasn't used to this sort of thing. After a perfunctory round of thanks, he left before noon.
Thank you (oo Dao Ge oo) my good brother for your continued support.
Thank you to my good brother (Love Han Fei) for his support again.
Thanks to (My name is Ritianhao) (Ceramic Pot) (Meteor * Feather Flower) (One Person's Hamilton) for their monthly ticket support
I would like to thank all the brothers who voted and recommended it.
Thanks to the good brothers who spoke and those who did not speak but just read.
I saw the recommendation from Brother Lao Qian, thank you.
There are also people who advise me to hold on, and I can only say try to hold on, I can’t really say for sure.
In short, thank you all for your love and support.
