My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 403: Forcibly Buying Shares Worth 1 Billion Again!

Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Forcibly Buying Shares Worth 1 Billion Again!

Chen Yan propped himself up with one hand, a hint of a mischievous smile on his face. He lightly lifted Yu Qiao Qiao’s chin and, without even giving an answer, kissed her directly.

The masculine scent was overwhelming, and the warm kiss that followed left Yu Qiao Qiao utterly stunned.

She could only clumsily accept Chen Yan’s deep kiss.

The two of them exchanged kisses for quite some time.

Chen Yan finally let her go, scooped her up in his arms, and said, "Alright, time to get ready for work. Let’s go freshen up together."

Chen Yan’s constitution was now at +9. Holding Yu Qiao Qiao, who was skinny all over except for her bountiful chest, felt incredibly easy.

So before Yu Qiao Qiao could resist, Chen Yan had already hoisted her onto his shoulder and, dragging her petite behind, carried her into the bathroom.

Yu Qiao Qiao had been dazed since waking up.

Now, being carried shamefully by Chen Yan like this, her head began to steam and her eyes even began to take on a spiral, looking like she was about to faint at any moment.

Chen Yan, however, didn’t take notice.

After they arrived in the bathroom, he placed Yu Qiao Qiao on the ground, then embraced her bare body and turned on the shower.

The household’s water heater maintained constant temperature, so the shower immediately sprayed out hot water.

Thus, Chen Yan began to carefully wash Yu Qiao Qiao’s body.

Yu Qiao Qiao felt like she was about to pass out; her eyes completely fogged up as she pitifully watched Chen Yan make various movements on her body.

Chen Yan, with thick skin, didn’t care: if he couldn’t eat, couldn’t he at least get his hands on something?

In this way, the bath took more than half an hour. Chen Yan only wrapped Yu Qiao Qiao in a towel, dried himself off, and then carried her out of the bathroom.

Yu Qiao Qiao was petite to begin with, so wrapped up in the towel, only half her shoulder and a pair of slender legs were visible. Her hair was still dripping wet, and she looked as cute as a little angel who had fallen into water.

Chen Yan couldn’t help but find her adorable and held her while carefully drying her hair.

Then, the two had breakfast together.

After the meal, Chen Yan drove Yu Qiao Qiao to her school.

At the school gate, Yu Qiao Qiao watched the tail lights of Chen Yan’s BMW fade into the distance, feeling that everything since Chen Yan suddenly showed up at her place last night has been like a dream.

Did all that really happen?

Why... does it feel so surreal?

And recalling the respect and restraint Chen Yan showed last night, along with his thoughtfulness and care this morning...

She wrapped herself in the thick goose down coat Chen Yan had bought for her, looking somewhat clumsy and silly, but also feeling warm...

....

Upon arriving at the office, Chen Yan went straight back to his own work space.

As a billionaire boss with hundreds of employees, Chen Yan’s daily work was extremely busy.

Even though he had delegated authority extensively and handed many tasks over to the heads of various companies, the cooperation between companies and many trivial or important matters still requiring high level clearance took up a lot of his energy.

However, today, after coming to the office, Chen Yan didn’t start his work as usual.

Uncharacteristically, he locked his office door and then sat on the sofa, taking out a card and playing with it.

The card was the "Strong Buy Card" Chen Yan had just purchased last night.

Chen Yan valued the Strong Buy Card because it was a truly strategic special item.

In the real world, having more money doesn’t always equate to being more powerful, because beyond a certain point, money just becomes a number. What truly establishes your position are the resources and assets you control.

It’s common to have money in hand while the other party is unwilling to sell.

Therefore, buying the shares of Headline Technology was an experiment for Chen Yan.

He believed that if he could Strong Buy Headline Technology without any other impacts, he would be able to save up this card in the future and purchase any companies he wanted.

Like STM, Nintendo, and so on...

Acquiring these companies would significantly complement his entertainment empire and his dream of the world’s number one gaming company.

After pondering, Chen Yan held the card and silently intoned "use."

As Chen Yan’s silent command succeeded, his phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

Chen Yan picked it up and, just like the last time, a prompt popped up, "Please select the object for use."

Chen Yan entered the game and selected "Headline Technology."

In a moment, another prompt appeared on his phone screen.

"Please select the amount for the Strong Buy."

Chen typed, "10 billion."

After entering the amount, his phone vibrated twice and a message appeared, "Item used successfully. Please wait patiently."

The effects of the Strong Buy Card, similar to the "Opportunity Card," were to influence the development of an entire event through minor details.

In this process, it would also offer some guidance to Chen Yan, allowing him to successfully obtain what he wanted.

It was an item of Causality Law.

So Chen Yan, who had experience using the Strong Buy Card once before, closed his eyes after reading the prompt on the screen, wanting to sense the guidance this time.

To his surprise, after closing his eyes, he did not feel any guidance.

The Strong Buy Card did not prompt him to do anything.

Opening his eyes, Chen Yan felt puzzled for a moment.

Could it be... had the usage of the Strong Buy Card failed?

Impossible!

Chen Yan furrowed his brow thoughtfully...

Could it be... this time’s Strong Buy didn’t require him to do anything and could be achieved purely through external factors?

......

Just as Chen Yan pondered this, in Tiandu, at the headquarters of Chen Group...

In the chairman’s assistant office...

The woman who had chatted with Zhao Qingtian a few days ago sat at her desk, dealing with a pile of official duties.

Contrary to what outsiders thought, being a chairman’s assistant was not just about pleasing and "serving" the chairman. In fact, the chairman’s assistant is a high-level manager in the group.

The position was generally equivalent to that of a deputy general manager and sometimes even ranked higher.

Therefore, her daily work was extremely busy.

After finishing some corporate affairs, the woman stopped what she was doing, took a sip of water, and was just about to continue working.

At this moment, her gaze landed on a document on the desk that had been prepared earlier.

This document was regarding the private affair that Zhao Qingtian had asked her to handle: the matters involving Chen Yan, Zhao Ying, Yang Rou, and Yang Nuannuan...

These days, with the data compiled, she had a clear understanding of the relationship between the four individuals and Chen Yan’s circumstance. She had been planning to find time to hand over the information to Zhao Qingtian.

But for some reason, as she looked at the data just now, she suddenly remembered something she had been very interested in: how exactly was Chen Yan’s investment with Headline Technology achieved?

Even Zhao Group wouldn’t underestimate Headline Technology.

After all, over the past decade, the hottest industry had been the internet. Those top enterprises and two super internet conglomerates had risen rapidly in ten years, changing the entire landscape of the domestic economy and industry.

Even Zhao Qingtian’s rise to power came about because he advocated for Zhao Group’s reform, venturing into the internet industry while maintaining its stance in traditional industries and achieving a series of accomplishments.

Therefore, as the chairman’s assistant, she had always paid close attention to Headline Technology.

She was aware of the many forces vying behind that one investment and knew how difficult it was for a newly established venture capital firm to get the greatest benefit.

Thus, during the data collection, she had also investigated how Chen Yan managed to secure Headline Technology.

However, due to time constraints and not needing to delve too deep into the details during preliminary data collection, she did not get a clear answer.

Previously, she planned to present most of the data directly to Zhao Qingtian and leave this matter for future investigation.

But the moment she saw this data just now, she had a different idea.

She felt... as a chairman’s assistant, she should be one step ahead of the chairman’s orders.

She should not wait for Zhao Qingtian to instruct her to investigate the matter before doing so.

Instead, she should be able to respond fluently when Zhao Qingtian asked her about it.

Only then would the chairman find her more indispensable.

Pondering over the data in her hand, she hesitated: should she hold back this document for now and have someone look into the details of this incident, to understand how exactly Chen Yan successfully swayed Headline Technology?

Once the thought came to mind, it kept revolving in her head.

However, while considering this matter, she was a bit worried that her rash investigation might alarm the snakes in the grass or inadvertently leak some information, drawing attention from the Headline side...

Even though her time was precious, she pondered for a full five minutes.

In the end...

She still felt the benefits outweighed the risks.

Especially considering Zhao Qingtian’s apparent hostility towards this emerging tycoon the other day.

In the current consolidated hierarchy, an emerging tycoon’s rise would certainly require extraordinary abilities.

She believed it would be best to understand the tycoon’s trump card thoroughly, to give Zhao Qingtian a comprehensive picture.

Thinking this way, the scales tipped toward investigating this matter.

So the woman picked up the phone and made a call.....

———

And as she pondered whether Zhao Qingtian would ask her, she knew she could respond fluently.

Only in this way would the chairman be most satisfied with her work.

Thus, she looked at the data at hand, hesitating: should she press this document down for now, then have someone probe into the ins and outs of this incident to understand how Chen Yan managed to persuade Headline Technology?

As the thought occurred, it lingered persistently in her mind.

But while considering this, she worried that her investigation might inadvertently spook the target or carelessly leak details, catching the attention of those at Headline...

Despite her valuable time, she pondered for a solid five minutes.

Ultimately...

She felt the potential benefits outweighed the risks.

Clearly, given Zhao Qingtian’s evident hostility towards this new wealthy rival, a newcomer capable of rising to riches must possess some formidable talents.

She thought it best to unravel the enigma surrounding this wealthy individual, offering Zhao Qingtian a complete assessment.

With this in mind, the scale finally dipped in favor of initiating the investigation.

Thus, the woman picked up the telephone and dialed a number.....
