Carefree Life in the World of Film and Television

Chapter 1344: Wang Ying

"Yes, Li Qian and I are colleagues, but I am also their boss." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Boss?" Rosa was slightly stunned.

"Yes, I started my own business a few years ago, and now I have some assets," said Jiang Chen.

Li Qian and others rolled their eyes.

Considering the size of the Xingchen Group, Jiang Chen, as the only boss of the Xingchen Group, can be considered to have some assets?

So what are they?

Even a beggar can’t be considered as such, right?

"Congratulations," Rosa said.

"So you don't have to be polite today. Just order whatever you want to eat. Well, just treat me as a nouveau riche." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"..."Li Qian's fourth daughter.

"Jiang Chen, I think you are still the same." Rosa said.

"The same? I was like this in high school?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. After all, before he traveled through time, it was his original body, and the original body's personality should be completely different from his.

"Isn't it?" Rosa asked back.

"Was I so generous when I was in high school?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Rosa said without hesitation.

"Then don't be polite today." Jiang Chen said.

Rosa nodded.

The six of them spent the dinner eating and chatting.

Although it was a long time since I last saw Rosa, it didn't affect our conversation.

From the chat, I learned that Rosa has not divorced yet.

Rosa is still a happy white-collar worker now.

After dinner, Jiang Chen and others went to rest.

In addition to booking a room for Rosa, Jiang Chen and the other four people booked a royal suite.

The Royal Suite at the Ritz London is one of the most luxurious and expensive hotel suites in the world, with many amazing features and facilities. The Royal Suite covers an amazing 700 square meters, including multiple bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, libraries, gyms and private cinemas. Such space allows guests to enjoy a luxurious life.

At the same time, the Royal Suite is decorated in an elegant and gorgeous style, using high-quality furniture, artworks and carpets. The walls, ceilings and floors in the room are made of exquisite wooden materials, creating a noble atmosphere. It is also equipped with the most advanced technological equipment, such as intelligent control systems, sound systems and lighting systems. In addition, the suite also provides conveniences such as private elevators, private parking and 24-hour butler service.

Guests of the Royal Suite can enjoy a world-class dining experience. The hotel's chef team will tailor a variety of delicious dishes to suit the tastes and needs of guests. In addition, the suite also has a private kitchen and bar, so guests can prepare their own meals.

"This is such a great place." Jiang Chen murmured as he looked at the night view in the distance.

The Royal Suite is located on the highest floor of the hotel, overlooking the magnificent view of downtown London. At this moment, Jiang Chen can enjoy the beautiful scenery of famous attractions such as the Thames, the London Eye and Big Ben from the balcony.

"It's a good place, but it's too expensive." Li Qian said.

"If we hadn't followed President Jiang, I'm afraid we would never dare to live in such an expensive room in our entire lives." Xu Jie said.

Shen Shuangshuang and Cheng Lingyun nodded in agreement.

Fifteen thousand a night is almost their annual salary.

"What do you think about buying the Ritz Hotel in London?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Buy the Ritz Hotel in London?" Li Qian and others looked at each other.

"Yes, that is to buy the Ritz Hotel in London." Jiang Chen nodded.

Jiang Chen remembered that the Ritz Hotel in London was officially put up for sale on March 10, 2020, with a sale price of 1.4 billion pounds. The sale was decided by the British super-rich and media tycoons, the Barclay Brothers.

Although in the world of film and television fusion, the Ritz London is also for sale.

"Mr. Jiang, you are not kidding, are you?" Li Qian asked.

"Why would I joke? I'm telling the truth. Look, the scenery here is so beautiful. After buying the Ritz Hotel in London, I want to keep a suite as my exclusive suite so that I can enjoy high-end services when I come to the UK in the future." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Only then did Li Qian and the others understand what the world of the rich was.

Jiang Chen's words directly overturned their cognition.

"Are you so shocked?" Jiang Chen glanced at the four girls.

"Isn't it?" Li Qian said.

Xu Jie and others nodded.

"When you have more contact with it in the future, you won't be so shocked."

Jiang Chen pointed to the Royal Suite and said, "Look, the design of this Royal Suite fully considers the privacy needs of the guests. The rooms are connected by corridors and foyers, ensuring that guests can maintain a certain degree of privacy while enjoying a luxurious life. This design is the favorite of the wealthy. If it weren't for other reasons, I would have developed and renovated the hotel under the Xingchen Group in this way long ago."

"Mr. Jiang, not everyone can afford to stay in such a luxurious hotel," said Xu Jie.

"So, hotels of this level are high-end hotels that serve big bosses," said Jiang Chen.

"Too."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, when are we going to Skyscanner Holdingited tomorrow?" Li Qian asked.

"We'll go to Skyscanner Holdingited at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Jiang Chen nodded.

Skyscanner Holding was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Edinburgh, UK. It is one of the world's largest travel search engines and flight search engines. In 2015, the company received 2.8 billion pounds (about 9.2 billion US dollars) in financing. However, in its development history, Skyscanner Holding's largest investor is the Scottish Equity Investment Company, which invested about 4 million US dollars in Skyscanner Holding in 2007. Although Sequoia Capital did not disclose the specific investment amount in Skyscanner Holding in 2013, according to media reports, Skyscanner Holding's valuation was as high as 800 million US dollars at that time.

As early as last year, Skyscanner Holding CEO Gareth Williams explained in an interview why he decided to sell the company instead of going public.

Last year, Jiang Chen also arranged for someone to contact Skyscanner Holdings.

This time when he came to the UK, the first company Jiang Chen wanted to acquire was Skyscanner Holding.

After a while, Jiang Chen returned to the room.

"A night alone."

Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged, took out a medium-grade spirit stone, and began to practice.

This time when he went abroad, there were no women around him to visit, but he had more time to practice.

…

The next day, the Royal Suite at the Ritz Hotel in London.

“It smells so good.”

Li Qian opened the door and said.

"Are you up?" Jiang Chen walked out of the kitchen.

"Mr. Jiang, you are not making breakfast, are you?" Li Qian asked.

"I got up early, so I made breakfast myself." Jiang Chen said.

"What's for breakfast?" Xu Jie also opened the door.

"Oh, I made breakfast." Jiang Chen said.

"No way, Mr. Jiang, you can also make breakfast?" Xu Jie's expression was very exaggerated.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean I can make breakfast? What's so strange about me making breakfast?" Jiang Chen said angrily.

"What breakfast?" Shen Shuangshuang and Cheng Lingyun also came.

Li Qian told the story again, and then said: "Boss Jiang, you are not making dark cuisine, are you?"

"Yes, it's dark cuisine. You must eat it all today, otherwise your salary will be deducted." Jiang Chen said.

"You dare." Li Qian glared at Jiang Chen.

"Do you think I dare?" Jiang Chen said.

"..."Li Qian.

"Let's eat. We still have work to do today." Jiang Chen said.

"Then let's just give it a try reluctantly." Li Qian said.

However, after eating the breakfast made by Jiang Chen, Li Qian and others were very shocked.

“Isn’t this delicious?”

"Boss Jiang, I didn't expect you to have this skill."

Li Qian and others looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"That's right, don't you see who I am?" Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, I heard before that you opened the Xingchen Restaurant because of your good cooking skills? Is that true?" Li Qian asked.

Xu Jie and others looked at Jiang Chen.

"I had this idea at the beginning. After all, I had just started my business at that time. If the business failed, at least I could keep the restaurant. But now it seems that I thought too much." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, there are few people who can compare to you now," said Xu Jie.

"I started my own business, so I can't compare with those big families. But I believe that I will get better and better in the future." Jiang Chen said.

After breakfast, Jiang Chen took Li Qian and others to Skyscanner Holdingited, conducted a transaction with the shareholders of Skyscanner Holdingited, and reached an agreement to acquire Skyscanner Holdingited.

noon.

"Let's go and eat something." Jiang Chen said to Li Qian and others.

"Mr. Jiang, there is a restaurant in front. Let's go to the restaurant in front." Li Qian said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and others walked into the restaurant.

"Um?"

However, as soon as Jiang Chen walked into the restaurant, he saw an unexpected person.

"Is it her?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received 10,000 Yuanwu Shields. ]

"Kite Shield?"

"This is the ninth time I've signed in and received 10,000 Yuanwu Shields."

According to the system introduction, the Yuanwu Shield is a dark shield with tortoise-shell-like patterns on the surface. It exudes an extremely heavy aura.

"The Kite Shield is a third-grade weapon."

"The armor and cavalry equipment is a fifth-grade weapon, which can withstand the attack of a second-rate warrior, and this kite shield is a third-grade weapon, which can withstand the full-strength attack of a first-rate warrior without any damage."

"We currently have 10,000 Star Cavalry and 6,300 Eagle Guards (the Eagle Guards have increased by 1,300 people after the Star Cavalry were added). They are all equipped with Kite Shields. The number of Eagle Guards will definitely increase in the future, and Kite Shields... can be fully stockpiled."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female host who signed in.

Wang Ying, a character in "Once a Teenager".

In the play, she is cold and aloof, different and sharp-tongued. She is Xie Qiao's roommate and has established an alliance with Qin Chuan, but this alliance makes Qin Chuan become her boyfriend by mistake. In fact, she has a crush on Yang Cheng, but she has considered a lot and knows that her status is not worthy of Yang Cheng. If she confesses, they may not even be friends in the end, so she gave up the confession, but she still blessed Yang Cheng and Xie Qiao. Later, she studied abroad.

“The storyline of “Once Upon a Time” begins in 2001 and ends in 2012.”

"Wang Ying is about thirty-five years old this year."

Wang Ying's family background in the play is beyond the reach of all the girls in dormitory 213. Not only is her family in the military compound, but she also has a dedicated driver and cook, and can choose any of the best universities in the country. With this configuration and treatment, you can imagine how high her father's position is.

In comparison, Yang Cheng was even better. His father worked in the "sea" and chose B University to pursue a girl, and he could drive a sports car around the campus without any obstacles. Wang Ying entered B University as Yang Cheng's close friend, but she had always been active in their special circle and had never come into contact with children from ordinary families.

This arrogant princess could only hide her nervousness and fear by being eccentric, and isolated herself from collective life by being clean and sharp-tongued. However, the reckless Xu Lin ruined her plan, not to mention the simple Xie Qiao and the kind Xiao Qianxi, who made her go through the motions and settle down in the dormitory. It was because of this that she made a few friends, changed many of her fussy and picky habits, and also found a balance to maintain a long-term relationship with Yang Cheng.

Wang Ying likes Yang Cheng and has liked him for a long time.

Don't look at her as being so clear-headed and thinking everyone is stupid, in fact, she herself is the stupidest and most foolish one. It's just that Yang Cheng is too casual about feelings and has no perseverance in dating any girl, so she resorted to this last resort and just be "ordinary friends" with him.

In this way, she stayed by his side as a childhood friend, watching him play around with women but never taking them seriously, which comforted her to some extent. It was not until Yang Cheng was with Xie Qiao and broke the record of never being in a relationship for more than three months that Wang Ying realized something was wrong and was almost going crazy with jealousy. So, she made a deal with Qin Chuan in a daze, asking him to accompany her in a "non-existent relationship" so that she could continue to stay by Yang Cheng's side.

Then, they went abroad to study together as Xie Qiao's boyfriend and Qin Chuan's girlfriend, but no one thought there was anything wrong. Originally, after Yang Cheng decided to propose to Xie Qiao, Wang Ying could no longer stay by his side, but Xie Qiao finally realized who he really liked. However, things are unpredictable, Yang Cheng's "schedule" was free, and Wang Ying's family encountered an unexpected change, which made her fall from grace to despair.

Overnight, the world turned upside down, and the arrogant princess fell from the sky to the human world. Making a living became her top priority, and she had no time to care about anything else. At this time, Wang Ying's strong mentality played a powerful role. Since she was powerless to change the situation, she could only leave it to fate. She did not complain about the passing of time, nor did she live off her savings. Instead, she quickly changed her mind and repositioned herself.

In order to survive, she moved to a shabby apartment, drove a second-hand car, and washed dishes with her fingers that had never touched water. However, even a strong woman like Wang Ying was so sad that she could not control herself after learning about her father's death. She believed that there is cause and effect in the world. Fortunately, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The superior living standard for more than 20 years has trained her to have a good vision and elegant taste.

This advantage allowed her to thrive in luxury goods purchasing and art auctions, and she also had a skill to support herself. During this period, Yang Cheng also took her to his luxury house to recuperate after the car accident, and Wang Ying almost fell into depravity because of the illusion during that period. It was not until Wang Ying found out that the expensive oil painting she sold was actually bought by Yang Cheng that her fantasy was ruthlessly punctured.

Yang Cheng took the picture anonymously. Wang Ying couldn't guess why he did it, but whether it was for his girlfriend or out of pity, her self-esteem and pride couldn't bear it.

Wang Ying knew very well that they were destined to go their separate ways. That hard-won time was a luxury for her. What stood between them was no longer Yang Cheng's successive female companions, but the huge gap in their family status.

In the final analysis, they have never been able to make their own decisions. You know, no matter how glamorous they live in front of others, once they are away from the support of their families, they are nothing, and they can't even book a plane ticket.

Yang Cheng's parents had already expressed their attitude on this point. They would not consider Wang Ying, who had lost her power, as their future daughter-in-law. However, Wang Ying was weak after the car accident, so she was reluctant to wake up and continue to stay with Yang Cheng, almost losing her last bit of dignity.

Of course, Wang Ying didn't have to live such a hard life, and Yang Cheng was not unable to support her, but becoming just one of his many female companions was definitely not what Wang Ying wanted.

But since the relationship between her and Yang Cheng did not start with love, it could not end with sympathy. So, when she finally kissed Yang Cheng with tears in her eyes, it was not only an explanation for her years of secret love, but also a farewell to their long-standing friendship. Then, she resolutely cut off the past, drove her second-hand broken car, left with the last bit of dignity, and started another life from then on!

"In the play, Wang Ying saw clearly the fickleness of human nature and the cruelty of the world. She chose to study art history in the UK and engage in the business of art collection, and never returned to China."

"I didn't expect to meet Wang Ying here."

“Sure enough, the more clan luck there is, the better the luck, and the more heroines will sign in.”

Jiang Chen looked at Wang Ying.

When seeing Wang Ying, Jiang Chen thought of Bi Ruoshan from "Camp of Love".

However, unlike Bi Ruoshan, 35-year-old Wang Ying has a unique flavor.

"Mr. Jiang, there is a seat over there." Li Qian said.

"Let's go over there." Jiang Chen took a look and walked over.

After a while, the waiter came.

"Please order the food." Jiang Chen said after sitting down.

"Okay." Li Qian and others picked up the menu and started ordering.

Soon, the wine and food were brought.

"Come, let's have a drink first." Jiang Chen picked up the wine glass and said to the four girls, "But don't get drunk, we have important things to do in the afternoon."
