Chapter 665: Chu Ning's Mother

"Boss, I've got too much work on my hands lately; can you push this game project back a while?" Upon hearing that Chen Yang planned to send himself to Modu, Qian Duo Duo immediately complained.

"Sister Qian, let someone else handle this; I'm not comfortable with it!" Chen Yang could not let Huang Youguang, this undercover agent, fully take charge of the investment in Tian Cheng Game Studio. He patiently persuaded Qian Duo Duo: "If the game investment succeeds, it can spawn many spin-off products. This also helps our e-commerce platform's comprehensive development. As a shareholder of the company, you should prioritize the big picture!"

Qian Duo Duo said unhappily: "Boss, the employees of your financial investment company have been messed around by games into what state? If investing in the game industry really succeeds, we'll end up messing around with even more people in the future, and we'll all have to bear the blame."

Chen Yang didn't expect Qian Duo Duo to also be paying attention to the internal situation of the financial investment company; he smiled and explained: "Sister Qian, that's different. I tolerate those people in the company playing games so that the surname Yu won't cause trouble for the company. The game we're planning to invest in truly has great commercial value."

"Moreover, once this game is released, I guarantee you'll also like it."

Qian Duo Duo snorted lightly: "Now I don't even have time to date, let alone the energy to play games."

Chen Yang smiled and said to her: "Modu is a place where elites gather. You might just meet your Prince Charming there this time."

Qian Duo Duo gave Chen Yang a sideways glance, forced a smile, and said: "Boss, don't forget I'm from Modu. If I were to meet Prince Charming, would you still be able to see me in Xingcheng?"

Chen Yang spoke solemnly: "Times have changed; you are now the financial director of the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform. Even your former boss should now respectfully address you as Manager Qian."

Qian Duo Duo burst out laughing at his words. After laughing for a while, she told Chen Yang: "Boss, I can go to Modu for a trip. But you have to promise me that after this matter is settled, you'll give me half a month off."

Chen Yang agreed without hesitation.

Next, Chen Yang summoned Qin Qin again and, using the same method, coaxed her into going to Modu as well.

However, his actions provoked strong dissatisfaction from Shen Anna.

"Boss, the company has a ton of work to handle. You transferred both of them away—are you trying to work me to death?"

Chen Yang laughed: "If I didn't transfer them, I'd be the one overworked. Besides, the company has been running for over three years; I don't believe the finance and legal departments would grind to a halt without those two."

Shen Anna glared at Chen Yang fiercely, very dissatisfied, and said: "Besides work, they could keep me company chatting at night. Now you've transferred them both away—are you trying to make me live a lonely, miserable life?"

Chen Yang pointed to the HR department's office and said: "Luo Xue is still there, isn't she? You can chat with her to relieve boredom!"

"Besides, you're not young anymore; you should also think about your lifelong affair. The last time I went to see Sister Xin, she also cared about you a lot."

"You two had better look after yourselves!" Shen Anna gave Chen Yang a roll of her eyes. Not wanting to continue the topic, she said sternly: "Governor Liu hopes we continue to secure this year's Spring Festival Gala sponsorship ad. What do you think?"

Chen Yang said helplessly: "What else can we do? Just throw money at it! Consider it adding fuel to the fire for the company's IPO."

Seeing Chen Yang somewhat reluctant, Shen Anna soothed him gently: "I've already spoken with Governor Liu. We can't always be stealing the spotlight; we also need to give other companies some opportunities. Otherwise, when our company expands outward in the future, we'll encounter many obstacles. He also understands our difficulties and promised that after this year he won't forcibly require us to participate in the Spring Festival Gala again."

Chen Yang actually wasn't losing interest in the Spring Festival Gala ad. As a Reborn Person, he clearly understood an important fact: with the rapid development and widespread popularization of internet technology, the advertising industry is undergoing a profound transformation.

Traditional media, such as television, newspapers, and magazines, although still possessing some influence, are seeing their audience base gradually shrink, especially among the younger generation.

By contrast, the internet has become the main platform for people to obtain information, entertainment, and social interaction, with its user numbers and activity levels showing explosive growth each year.

Compared to traditional media, internet advertising offers more precise targeting capabilities and richer interactive forms, better able to meet the communication needs between businesses and consumers.

Therefore, Chen Yang felt that the company's main advertising channel should shift from traditional media to the internet.

After all, the audience base of the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform itself comes entirely from the internet.

Chen Yang shared his idea with Shen Anna, and she also strongly supported his viewpoint.

They were about to delve deeper into the discussion when Chu Ning suddenly picked up the phone, saying her mother had already arrived in Xingcheng ahead of schedule.

This news caught Chen Yang somewhat off guard; he could only leave the company early under Shen Anna's disdainful gaze.

After returning to the villa, he discovered his bodyguards standing respectfully at the gate. Upon inquiry, he learned they had been caught red-handed by Chu Ning's mother while playing games and were severely scolded.

Chen Yang immediately felt that this mother-in-law was not as easy to get along with as Hu Qingwan.

He cautiously walked into his villa and at once saw Chu Ning sitting on the living room sofa chatting with a beautiful woman.

From her appearance, one could confirm that Chu Ning was her biological daughter. Apart from their stern expressions, the two were carved from the same mold.

"Are you Chen Yang?"

"Auntie, hello, I am Chen Yang."

"Hehe, you've got real guts, actually abducting a woman from our Chu Family to Xingcheng."

Chen Yang gave an embarrassed laugh. Actually, Chu Ning came to Xingcheng on her own; using the word "abduct" is completely inappropriate. But he couldn't say that, because saying it would offend both women present. Life would become unpleasant.

"Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Chu Ning."

"Can you take good care of Chu Ning?" Chu Ning's mother snorted coldly, her face displeased: "The first time I came here, the door was actually opened by a maid. The guards responsible for security in this compound are all playing computer games. With such a security situation, you tell me you can protect my daughter?"

Chen Yang immediately explained: "Auntie, Chen Yang and Chu Ning both work outside during the day; them entertaining themselves at home doesn't really matter..."

"No impact?" Chu Ning's mother, angry at Chen Yang's explanation, said sternly: "If they're bodyguards, they should follow you two around the clock. Otherwise, what's the point of having bodyguards?"

Chen Yang gave a wry smile. He basically doesn't like to bring bodyguards unless he's attending a major event or on a business trip. And after Chu Ning's own bodyguards betrayed her, she also doesn't want to be followed. So most of the time, the bodyguards are on standby at the villa.

Unexpectedly, this provoked strong dissatisfaction from Chu Ning's mother.
