My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 391: It’s Still Lu Man Having Fun~

Chen Yan had always been, in He Mengxue’s mind, a man of great capability and leadership charisma. But he had never been associated with being overbearing.

He seemed more like a Southern scholar-merchant, or like the new generation of entrepreneurs born in the ’80s and ’90s.

He gave off an impression of being cultured, radiant, and ambitious.

But today, Chen Yan, whether he was in a hurry to see Lu Man or had run out of patience with He Mengxue,

He Mengxue felt for the first time that Chen Yan had a bit of a domineering CEO vibe.

So, upon hearing what Chen Yan had said, all she could do was nod hurriedly, saying, "I believe."

Chen Yan looked into her eyes and stated, "Then I’ll tell you."

"I think, bringing in four billion in investment for ’Quick Taxi’ is indeed a tough task."

"So, I’ve assessed the entire investment company and feel that you are the only one who can accomplish my task."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, He Mengxue couldn’t help but look at him, their gazes meeting in mid-air. He Mengxue’s eyes, which had been somewhat dim, ignited like a small flame, gradually gaining a hint of color.

However, this spark of color didn’t last long before it faded again. He Mengxue, somewhat dejected, shook her head and looked down, saying, "Chen Yan, I feel... I can’t do it."

This time, she didn’t even use the professional way of addressing Chen Yan that was customary in the workplace.

Instead, as a friend, she confessed her confusion.

However, Chen Yan, who had already planned everything in advance, did not hesitate. He reached out, grasped her chin, lifted her head, and asked for the third time the same question, "Do you believe in my judgement?"

He Mengxue was startled by Chen Yan’s move and simply nodded dumbly.

Chen Yan said, "I believe in my judgement too. And... I believe even more that I haven’t misjudged you. You really have the capability."

Upon saying this, Chen Yan let go of He Mengxue’s chin and continued, "So... you have to believe in yourself."

Seeing Chen Yan’s earnest gaze, He Mengxue’s eyes wavered.

After a moment, a massive flame ignited within her.

She seemed to fill with confidence all of a sudden, and a smile blossomed on her face.

She stood up and declared to Chen Yan loudly, "Understood! Chen Yan! I will definitely not let you down!"

Seeing He Mengxue finally reignite her confidence, Chen Yan chuckled and scratched his ear, jokingly remarking, "What’s with all the shouting."

After finishing his thought, he cautioned her again, "I’m entrusting this to you."

"I’ve looked over the plan, and it’s very good."

"I’ve also marked out the bottom line, you just need to keep it in mind."

"So, go lead the team in negotiations tomorrow."

After speaking, Chen Yan patted He Mengxue’s shoulder gently, encouraging her, "Go for it."

He Mengxue’s smile grew even brighter, and she nodded vigorously.

Chen Yan heaved a sigh of relief seeing He Mengxue rekindle her confidence and ambition.

He nodded his head and then left He Mengxue’s office.

Back in the office, watching Chen Yan’s departing figure, He Mengxue’s gaze gradually became zealous.

She was smart and knew that all Chen Yan did today was to ignite her confidence.

But it was also because of Chen Yan’s recognition and the pressure and responsibility of the four billion investment that He Mengxue shook off her recent dejection.

She found once more how attractive Chen Yan was.

His imposing demeanor was really handsome!

He Mengxue felt she was falling even deeper!

This also made her resolute not to let down Chen Yan’s trust.

She must close this fundraising cooperation!

And since Chen Yan had such high hopes for her, she would surely succeed!

After all, Chen Yan had never failed up to this point!

Thinking this, He Mengxue, holding the plan modified by Chen Yan, directly dialed the intercom, calling all executives of the investment company to meet to discuss the negotiation details with ’Quick Taxi.’

She, He Mengxue, was going to "stand" up again!

Hmm. Sort out ’Quick Taxi’ first, and then go after Chen Yan!

With this thought, a smile that had been absent for days emerged on He Mengxue’s lips...

...

Meanwhile, Chen Yan had no idea that his plan to "save" He Mengxue had also made her more infatuated with him.

At the moment, he was on his way to Lu Man’s house.

Upon reaching Lu Man’s place, before Chen Yan could knock, the door opened by itself.

And as Chen Yan stepped inside, Lu Man, clad in a blue cheongsam embroidered with simple white flowers, with her hair up, came sashaying down the stairs with her supple waist, in an enchanting manner.

"So it’s Mr. Xiao who has arrived~~heh~~"

Hearing Lu Man’s words, Chen Yan was momentarily stunned.

His first reaction was that Lu Man had called him by the wrong name.

But as he savored the name "Mr. Xiao" and took in Lu Man’s outfit, a light bulb went off in his mind. He understood what Lu Man was doing:

She was impersonating the character from the first movie Chen Yan shot with her, which was also his first game: "Hidden Guardian."

Because her appearance was exactly that of Xiao Man, one of the female protagonists in "Hidden Guardian," during the bar scene where she meets the male lead.

As Chen Yan was thinking this, Lu Man continued to speak in the elegant accent of the Republic era, delivering her lines, "Why doesn’t the gentleman strike up a conversation?"

She lit a lady’s cigarette and took an elegant puff, swaying her hips, she coquettishly asked, "Is the gentleman here for pleasure, just like Xiao Man?"

Chen Yan recalled the original scene in the play and feigned impatience, turning his head to say, "I’m just here to trace old acquaintances."

Seeing Chen Yan getting into character, Lu Man’s lips curled into a sly smile, and in a tone dripping with seduction, she said,

"Heh~ Acquaintances, it seems Mr. Xiao still harbors friends in his heart..."

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man, "Not only do I have friends, I also have a ’little fairy.’"

Lu Man looked at Chen Yan, and finding his gaze intense, she let out a sultry laugh, suddenly querying, "So does Mr. Xiao wish to meet his friends first, or would he prefer the ’little fairy’?"

Chen Yan replied, "I want both!"

With that, he shot the door behind him, began tearing at his clothes, and inched toward Lu Man.

But Lu Man, with a slight twist of her waist, threw a flirtatious look at Chen Yan, "Mr. Xiao, you’re quite greedy, huh~~"

Whether Chen Yan was greedy or not, Lu Man was incredibly so, after not having seen him for over half a month.

Her slender legs clung fiercely to Chen Yan, seemingly intent on draining him dry.

Chen Yan was unwilling to admit defeat.

Recently, he had been provoked relentlessly by Zhao Ying, and he wanted someone to vent his frustration on.

The pair matched each other’s ferocity, engaging in countless bouts.

Eventually, after reaching a crescendo together, they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

But it wasn’t more than two minutes before Chen Yan himself woke up. He wanted to take this opportunity to test the "Stamina Pills" again.

After all, the Stamina Pills had two modes of use. Besides consuming in advance for sustained energy, they could also replenish vitality after the fact.

Chen Yan wanted to test this effect.

After taking the pill, Chen Yan was astonished to find that it was indeed quite potent.

Even though he had spent several hours venting on Lu Man and felt extremely tired,

the pill immediately seemed to refill his body with never-ending strength, replenishing his nearly depleted physique.

In under half an hour, Chen Yan felt he was back at his peak and ready for another round with Lu Man.

If Lu Man weren’t so worn out, with a look of satisfaction and flushed in sleep, Chen Yan would have really wanted to wake her up – to let her experience what it meant to be with an electric motor and a perpetual motion machine!

But even so, when Chen Yan hopped out of bed the next day, full of vigor, Lu Man was astonished.

She pouted, looking at Chen Yan, and said with haughty charm, "Looks like I didn’t wear you out last night."

However, her haughty demeanor didn’t last long, as Lu Man quickly resorted to pleading when Chen Yan’s hand traveled lower.

Since Chen Yan hadn’t spent much time with Lu Man lately, he decided to stay with her for the next few days, asking Lu Man to do things when there was something that needed doing, and otherwise...

So, for these few days, the continually ravished Lu Man was nurtured to be even more radiant and beautiful.

Time flew, and five days passed.

The "Sunrise Plan" media event was officially held at the Qin Island Twin Towers Hotel.

Lu Man, beautified by Chen Yan until she was beyond compare, stood on the stage in her capacity as the executive director to give a speech.

That day, she wore a professional outfit unlike her usual style, radiant and confident on stage, addressing representatives of hundreds of media outlets, institutions, and partner companies,

"Our ’Sunrise Plan’ targets the entire film and television industry. Whether it’s cinema, TV dramas, variety shows, or online dramas and movies, as long as they have value, we will invest or collaborate."

"Our goal is to make the domestic film and television market rise like the sunrise, ascending steadily in the forest of world cinema."

"And in the past several months of preparation, we have already finalized ten works, which we will announce today as the first batch of projects under the Sunrise Plan."
