Chapter 52: Jinjiang Dufa: When you are in love, you have to be clingy...
The island trip ended, and Jiang Chen and his friends bought tickets for the return trip on Sunday, and Lu Chiyuan still paid for the tickets for four people.
They came back early on Sunday and it was still light when they arrived in the city.
Jiang Chen came with Xu Chen on Friday. Xu Chen said he would send him back, but after getting off the plane, he received a phone call and looked unhappy.
"I have to go home for something. Who of you can take Jiang Chen home?" Xu Chen hung up the phone and looked at the three people behind him. Although he said "you", his eyes were actually on Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Mingxuan said: "I didn't drive, and you and I are going the same way."
To go to Xu Chen's home, one has to pass by the neighborhood where Lu Mingxuan lives. Xu Chen can't send Jiang Chen back, but he can take Lu Mingxuan back with him.
Xu Chen was in a hurry, and when he saw Lu Mingxuan wanted to go with him, he pulled him away, leaving Jiang Chen and Lu Xingyuan where they were.
Lu Chiyuan glanced at the time and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."
Lu Chiyuan didn't drive himself, the Lu family's driver came to pick him up. Uncle Qin was on leave today, and someone else was on duty.
Lu Chiyuan reported Jiang Chen's address and asked the driver to take Jiang Chen back first. The driver was a taciturn person, and did whatever Lu Chiyuan said. His driving skills were pretty good, and there was no shaking along the way.
The car stopped at the gate of the community as usual, and Lu Chiyuan got out to help Jiang Chen with his luggage. Jiang Chen took the backpack, slung it over his shoulder, looked up at Lu Chiyuan, scratched his face, and hesitated to speak.
His relationship with Lu Chiyuan progressed by leaps and bounds, and during the trip to the island, that layer of window paper was almost transparent.
"You... do you want to go up and sit for a while?" Jiang Chen pointed to the neighborhood behind him and said with a smile, "To find your way?"
Lu Chiyuan sent Jiang Chen to the outside of the residential area several times. He was familiar with the address, but he didn't know which building or which household it was.
Lu Chiyuan looked at the street lights behind Jiang Chen that were lighting up one by one in the twilight. The bright light filled the aisle. That was Jiang Chen's way home.
I have to say, Jiang Chen’s proposal is very tempting, but not now.
Lu Chiyuan raised his hand and placed it on his head, ruffling his hair, and said, "Next time."
He has to go back to the old house today and can't stay.
"Will you go back to the company tomorrow?" Lu Chiyuan asked.
"Reply, I have already arranged the matter of Xingyuan Entertainment last Friday. There are no major problems. They can communicate with me online."
Xingyuan Entertainment's work is already on track, and with Xu Chen in charge, it can still run stably even if Jiang Chen doesn't go there.
Lu Chiyuan said: "See you tomorrow then."
Jiang Chen nodded, watched Lu Chiyuan and the driver leave, then turned and entered the community.
After returning home, Jiang Chen packed up briefly, took a shower, and then sent a message to Xu Chen, telling him that he would not be returning to the company this week and that they could communicate online if there was anything.
Xu Chen did not reply to the message immediately. Jiang Chen thought he was driving and did not think much about it. He lay on the bed and found a few dramas that Xingyuan Entertainment had participated in in the past to pass the time.
Most of the artists in Xingyuan Entertainment have good acting skills, and their performances in the drama are just enough to make Jiang Chen frown. However, there are a few whose acting skills are unstable, and they fluctuate at any time depending on the level of their opponents.
Jiang Chen picked out a few good seedlings, grabbed Snowball and asked about the relevant melons. If there were any problems, he would consider it again.
Snowball lay on Jiang Chen's belly, licking his paws modestly.
Jiang Chen yawned and glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer. It was time to go to bed.
He turned off the computer, picked up his phone, and found that Xu Chen had replied to his message.
Xu Chen: [Sorry, baby, I may need you to come to the company to take charge. I have something else to do here and cannot get away.]
Jiang Chen was surprised, and thought of Xu Chen's unhappy expression when he answered the phone at the airport, and felt a little worried.
Aunt Xu is the head of the Xu family. She has a strong personality and can coordinate work and life well. She feels that she is at the age to work hard, so she doesn't put pressure on Xu Chen on a daily basis. She tries to create a relaxed atmosphere for Xu Chen and lets him play outside.
Generally speaking, she takes care of the household chores, so Xu Chen won't face any trouble.
It must be a very tricky situation to get Xu Chen to put down his work and go back.
Jiang Chen couldn't possibly make things difficult for him in this situation, so he replied: [I'll just go back to the company, you can just focus on your own business first. If there's anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to help.]
After sending the message to Xu Chen, Jiang Chen remembered that he had agreed to meet Lu Chiyuan tomorrow.
But in the current situation, it is impossible for him to return to the universe tomorrow.
Jiang Chen opened Lu Chiyuan's chat box, wondering how to tell him. We just made an appointment in the afternoon, but he changed his mind in the evening. Would Lu Chiyuan be angry?
Jiang Chen prepared himself mentally and sent a cute emoticon first.
Lu Chiyuan didn't reply to his message, but called him directly.
As soon as the phone rang, Jiang Chen picked up the phone and subconsciously clicked to answer it.
Lu Chiyuan's voice came through the phone, a little hoarse: "Haven't you rested yet?"
Jiang Chen sat upright on the bed, curling up his snowball's tail. He felt a little guilty and lacked confidence when speaking.
"Not yet. I just sent a message to Xu Chen. He will...well, he won't be back to the company tomorrow."
"I know." Lu Chiyuan's voice came over. He was not surprised because he was just talking to Xu Chen on the phone.
He saw Jiang Chen's message and guessed what Jiang Chen wanted to say, and asked, "Are you going there tomorrow?"
Seeing that Lu Chiyuan already knew, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He lay down on the bed and said in a lighter tone, "If both of us are not here, I'm afraid no one will be watching over the work."
Lu Chiyuan hummed without any emotion. Jiang Chen didn't want to disappoint him, so he promised: "I will definitely come back when Xu Chen comes back."
"But he won't be back this week."
Jiang Chen was stunned. He thought it was a small matter that could be done in two or three days, but he didn't expect it to take so long.
"Is it difficult?"
Lu Chiyuan said, "Do you remember the auction we attended last time? The organizer was investigated, and the Xu family has a stake in it, so they need to cooperate with the investigation."
"Auction? You mean Cui Ji?"
Jiang Chen dug up this incident from his memory. Cui Ji appeared to be a philanthropist, but secretly he was trafficking in people and organizing a gang.
After Shen Zhiyi was brought back by the bodyguard, Lu Chiyuan gave the police a subtle reminder. The police followed this line and found that the matter was far from simple and involved many people. The higher-ups took it very seriously and set up a special task force.
Jiang Chen didn't expect that this matter would involve the Xu family. He felt uneasy and asked, "Does the Xu family know what Cui Ji did?"
"The Xu family is investing in a legitimate charity gala, which has nothing to do with Cui Ji's secret dealings." Lu Chiyuan's voice came through the phone, with a calmness that reassured people.
He and Xu Chen can talk about anything, and Xu Chen will not hide his troubles from him. Investing in the charity gala is not a big problem, but what makes Xu Chen feel difficult is that the Gu family is involved in this matter.
The Xu family did not get involved in those illegal activities, but the same could not be said for the Gu family. Gu Tingsen even entered the other party's auction party.
Xu Chen has to be on guard against Gu Tingsen dragging the Xu family into trouble.
Lu Chiyuan had never known that there was something fishy going on between the Xu family and the Gu family until he heard Jiang Chen's thoughts and found out something.
But when Xu Chen complained to him tonight, he acted as if he knew everything, and Xu Chen's words were inconsistent with Jiang Chen's thoughts.
From Jiang Chen's perspective, Xu Chen is the illegitimate son of the Gu family, but from Xu Chen's words, Lu Chiyuan vaguely realized that the person with a problematic identity should be Gu Tingsen.
This kind of subtle confusion has happened more than once or twice, but before it happened to parents, and this time it happened to friends.
The distance has become closer.
Lu Chiyuan could still accept this absurdity and didn't get too entangled with it.
Xu Chen couldn't go to the company, and Lu Chiyuan didn't force Jiang Chen to come back. He called Jiang Chen to let Jiang Chen keep in touch with him, instead of going to Xingyuan Entertainment and disconnecting from the Internet for a week without any news.
Jiang Chen secretly stuck out his tongue. Before, there was no problem with work and he didn't want to disturb Lu Chiyuan. But now it's different. People who want to fall in love will naturally become sticky.
Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan chatted for nearly half an hour before reluctantly hanging up the phone because it was too late.
Xu Chen replied to Jiang Chen's message, saying that he could handle it and not to worry.
Speaking of Cui Ji, Jiang Chen thought of Shi Youwei who was beaten by him, poked Xueqiu's belly, and asked: "Isn't the business between Gu Tingsen and Shi Youwei still going to fail? Cui Ji is under surveillance, can Gu Tingsen still get away with it?"
Snowball licked his paw and said: [The hero has a lot of health, but the negative situation is too serious, and his luck will continue to decrease. ]
Luck will not remain unchanged, especially for a protagonist like Gu Tingsen who has moral flaws. The privileges given to him by the author are beyond the bottom line of the law. If it encounters the rule of law, it will be a trade-off.
But when his luck falls out of a certain range, the privilege will no longer be a privilege, but evidence of breaking the law.
In the new week, Xu Chen's work was transferred to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had to do the work of two people, and occasionally when he was free, he would send a message to Lu Chiyuan.
Good morning and good night are indispensable. In addition, he would also share with Lu Chiyuan the interesting things and troubles he encountered at work.
In most cases, Lu Chiyuan could reply within seconds, and only occasionally would he miss a message because he wasn't checking his phone.
Jiang Chen let himself go a little. He could send a lot of messages. Even if Lu Chiyuan's replies were simple, he wouldn't feel bored.
In the past, chat messages were refreshed only once every few days, but now you can’t scroll through them all with one finger.
When Lu Chiyuan replied slowly, Jiang Chen would flip forward to check the records, laughing as he read, feeling happy.
There has been no news from Xu Chen since he sent a message to Jiang Chen that night. Jiang Chen would occasionally ask about Lu Chiyuan, but all he knew was that he had gone to City A.
Within two days of the Gu family being involved in this incident, problems arose in the business of Gu Tingsen and Shi Youwei. The local government staged a coup, and the armed forces gained the upper hand. Shi Youwei's company ran away with the money, and the capital chain that Gu Tingsen relied on was completely broken, resulting in heavy losses.
Looking at the overwhelming news of the local coup on his mobile phone, Jiang Chen shared the good news with Lu Chiyuan as soon as possible.
Jiang Chen: [Take advantage of his weakness to kill him. His partners can’t sit still any longer. Don’t you want to snatch them away?]
Gu Tingsen has had a lot of bad luck in the past two months. Linfeng has suffered one blow after another, the stock market is turbulent, and the company is also not peaceful.
Lu Chiyuan: [I don’t see anyone I like at the moment.]
Huanyu’s partners are very stable, and Lu Chiyuan will not easily replace them if there is no better option.
Linfeng is in turmoil right now. Even if he doesn't take action, someone will find a way to pry away Linfeng's customers. Gu Tingsen will have a lot of troubles.
Jiang Chen looked at Lu Chiyuan's reply and laughed. He was happy when he thought about Gu Tingsen being in a mess.
Jiang Chen: [No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. We should help those partners find another way out.]
Just because the world doesn't need this kind of help doesn't mean others don't need it. At this time, even the slightest disturbance will shake the unsteady partners.
Jiang Chen was happy to cause trouble for Gu Tingsen. Lu Chiyuan understood what he meant and replied with a "good".
Jiang Chen was just looking at his reply with a silly smile, when he heard a knock on the door, he looked up and said, "Come in."
Zhuang Ningyu pushed the door open to report on her work. Ling Qi had won the script for the dual male lead, had signed the contract, and was ready to join the crew. But by coincidence, the original investor suddenly withdrew the investment, and the funding chain was cut off before the filming began.
Jiang Chen, who was in a good mood: "..."
No, sister, are you still speaking Chinese?
Jiang Chen was stunned. He had already kicked Duan Yi out, so why was there still a problem with the investment?
[Chenchen, that investor has been involved in Cui Ji's case. ]
Jiang Chen: “…”
grass!
What the hell is this butterfly effect?
