My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 424

But Chen Yan always felt that it wasn’t that she wanted him to come up with ideas.

Rather, it was because she had been frightened by Chen Yan’s actions over the past two days. She had simply fabricated an excuse to send Chen Yan out of the house so she could rest.

Chen Yan was very proud.

Who says there is no field that cannot be plowed?

That’s only because the frequency and intensity of your plowing aren’t enough.

With his "constitution +9" quality, ordinary folks were no match for him!

Since the villa wasn’t far from his home, Chen Yan walked back.

Strolling through Qin Island’s brightly-lit and colorful night, Chen Yan also reflected.

Although he had used many tricks when guiding Lu Man’s emotions and trying to calm her down,

like not trying to explain or to reason, but simply apologizing and making his stance clear.

Like not caring about the mistakes he made, regardless of the problems, just expressing how much he loved the girl.

Like, whether or not he could solve the problem, he would always assert his attitude: he would definitely solve it.

These were strategies Chen Yan had summarized over the past two years for dealing with angry girls.

Ultimately, the thinking of men and women is different.

Men need solutions.

Women, they just need you to have the attitude of wanting to solve the problem.

However, although these were all tricks, the heart Chen Yan had for solving this matter was real.

He felt that it was indeed time to resolve these issues.

Otherwise, constantly deceiving Boss Qiao Qiao or always aggrieving Lu Man wasn’t good.

His feelings for both of them were genuine, he didn’t want to disappoint these two girls. Well. Three. Hmm... maybe four.

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Yan returned home.

After returning home, Chen Yan entered his study, took out his "Virtual Girlfriend Strategy Guide," bit on his pen, and began to make plans...

But, just like he had said to Lu Man earlier, achieving a perfect solution to this matter was not so easy.

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t think of a truly appropriate solution.

Any method seemed like it would hurt the two girls.

This made him feel anxious.

....

Before long, three days had passed.

"Soul Suppressing: Netherworld" was officially released on the QiYiGuo video platform.

Thanks to the quality of the movie’s previews and the draw of Lu Man’s fanbase, QiYiGuo platform gave all available recommendations and features on the day of its release.

Meanwhile, companies and platforms across the industry also began to pay attention to this online movie.

What was originally just a low-budget web movie suddenly attracted the gaze of countless insiders...

...

At that moment, in Tiandu.

Xu Brothers Film Company. The Chairman’s office.

The Xu brothers were there discussing certain matters with Director Zhang.

Xu Zhaoqing still had that impatient demeanor.

He frowned, looked at his brother, and said, "Brother! What are you hesitating for?"

"That’s the Zhao Group! A behemoth we’ve been trying to get close to for years without success!"

"They’ve thrown out an olive branch. Why the hesitation?"

Listening to Xu Zhaoqing’s words, Director Zhang nodded slightly, adding, "Indeed."

"Our company was able to start up in its early days because a branch of the Zhao Family gave us a hand."

"Now, Zhao Qingtian has taken the initiative to contact us. There’s no way for us to refuse."

Hearing the words of the two partners, Xu Zhaorong, the leader of the Xu brothers, wasn’t laughing or joking but was deep in thought.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "I still feel it’s inappropriate."

He explained, "You only see the benefits, but not the dangers within."

"Dangers?" Xu Zhaoqing asked, "What dangers?"

Xu Zhaorong, sitting behind the boss’s chair with furrowed brows, said, "Haven’t you noticed that Chen Yan’s development speed is frighteningly quick?"

Hearing his brother’s words, Xu Zhaoqing dismissively said, "So what?"

"We’ve practically investigated him inside and out this year and a half. We’re sure he has no solid backing, and no connection to the Zhao Family."

"Zhao Qingtian approaching us just proves that he’s a lone wolf."

"Otherwise, being as shrewd as Zhao Qingtian, why would he provoke someone with a big background?"

Hearing Xu Zhaoqing’s words, Xu Zhaorong slapped the table in frustration and said, "Foolish! When will you ever be smart!"

Xu Zhaoqing looked perplexed, clearly not understanding why his brother was angry.

At that point, Director Zhang tried to mediate, explaining, "Zhaoqing, what Xu means is, precisely because he has no backing, the fact that Chen Yan has developed to this extent on his own is even more terrifying."

"After all, we have been deeply rooted in this industry for 20 years, and our company is only worth tens of billions. That’s not even entirely ours."

"He’s been flying solo for two years, and now his net worth is in the billions."

"That in itself speaks to the opponent’s terror."

Hearing Director Zhang’s words, Xu Zhaorong finally nodded in satisfaction.

Then he continued his analysis, "Furthermore, you only see the benefits Zhao Qingtian offers."

"But you fail to notice the catch."

"Don’t forget. Yang Rou is still with Chen Yan’s company."

"Is Zhao Qingtian really planning to suppress Chen Yan?"

"Or... is he just trying to catch Yang Rou’s attention?"

Hearing Xu Zhaorong’s words, the three old men in the room exchanged glances, their eyes filled with amusement.

As people who were privy to the inside story, they obviously knew that the relationship between Yang Rou and Zhao Qingtian back in the day was not so simple.

After smirking to themselves for a while, Xu Zhaoqing laughed and said, "Bro, do you think... Does Zhao Qingtian have a case of unrequited love, or is it a tendency for self-torture?"

The smiles in their eyes grew thicker.

Director Zhang coughed, then said, "Maybe it’s just his inability to let go."

"Or maybe... Stockholm Syndrome?"

Xu Zhaoqing couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, about to continue the discussion, when Xu Zhaorong cut him off.

Xu Zhaorong said, "Enough! This matter has been over for 20 years. Both of them are not simple characters. Let’s not mention it again."

"If any rumors get out, it will be embarrassing for our three families."

The topic was dropped by the two.

For a while, the office fell silent once more.

After a moment, Xu Zhaorong let out a deep sigh and said, "I thought it over a little just now."

"Suddenly, whether to be enemies or friends, maybe, it’s not for us to decide."

"We’ll put aside the old grievances with Yang Rou."

"Just look at Chen Yan’s Chenlu Film."

"Their ’Sunrise Plan’ is aimed squarely at rooting out all the major film companies."

"If they actually succeed, in the future, there really won’t be a place for us."

Hearing Xu Zhaorong’s words, Xu Zhaoqing and Director Zhang couldn’t help but fall silent.

Just now, they were all for accepting the benefits from the Zhao Family, to be the pawns and battle Chen Yan, largely because of this.

After all, with the capabilities and ambition that Chen Yan had displayed,

if they really gave Chen Yan time to develop, the entertainment industry would have no place for the three of them.

Upon this realization, the trio felt as if their hearts were weighed down by two heavy stones.

Xu Zhaorong thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Let’s just wait and see. Let’s see the quality and performance of their ’Soul Suppressing’, and then adjust our strategy."

Having no better alternative for the moment, the other two could only nod in agreement.

Meanwhile, companies and industry insiders like the Xu brothers were everywhere.

While they might not have as much love-hate drama with Chen Yan and Yang Rou, they too were aware of Chen Yan’s capabilities and the speed of his expansion.

So they were afraid, afraid that Chen Yan’s rapid expansion would leave no room for them.

Of course, many industry insiders were also looking forward to Chenlu Film stirring up a reform in this dark, decrepit industry.

After all, the industry was rotten to the core.

Everywhere were hidden rules, explicit rules, and some appalling practices.

If there were one company that could change this situation, it would be good for everyone.

Thus, amid everyone’s anticipation, on February 28th, "Soul Suppressing: Netherworld" officially premiered.

Before the premiere of "Soul Suppressing: Netherworld," the ceiling for domestic online movie profit-sharing box office was 38 million.

This 38 million was the net amount, which, if calculated by cinematic film statistics, was equivalent to a hundred million box office revenue.

For a small-budget web film, this was a very impressive achievement.

However, all this was nothing compared to "Soul Suppressing."

On February 28th, the profit-sharing box office for "Soul Suppressing" skyrocketed.

With the draw of Lu Man, a current top-tier celebrity, along with the boost from the "Sunrise Plan" and "Big Star Detective," within just one day of its release, "Soul Suppressing" broke through 8 million in profit-sharing box office...
