Chapter 553: You're looking for me?

The sky is azure, waiting for the misty rain—and I am waiting for you—

The moonlight is fished up—blurring the ending—

Like the blue-and-white porcelain passed down through the ages, beautiful all on its own—

Your eyes carry a smile—

The song ends.

Clap, clap, clap!

Thunderous applause swept through the venue; clearly, the two sisters' performance had won everyone's approval.

"Lao Chen, I am so envious of you, having such a pair of gifted and beautiful daughters."

"Old Chen, my Tianfeng is about to graduate from graduate school, he is excellent in every way, the two young people..."

"Oh my! Wenli, I like your Shanni so much..."

Naturally, many people began to set their sights on the two sisters, beating around the bush in front of Chen Jun and Wei Wenli to mention their own children.

Anyone could see that Chen Jun's momentum was strong, and his future was limitless.

The benefits of becoming in-laws with such a family were self-evident.

Chen Jun and Wei Wenli both laughed it off, saying that young people have their own ideas, and as elders, they can only offer suggestions from the sidelines; the key is whether the daughters like them.

The crowd couldn't say much more, only pulling their own 'pigs' aside to whisper.

After the performance, it was time for the wishing and cake-cutting segment, and everyone sang the birthday song together.

The main event concluded.

The two sisters walked down from the stage gracefully, only to suddenly find a few flies buzzing around them; although they didn't bite, they were annoying.

They subconsciously looked for Shen Yan.

Scanning the room, they saw him chatting happily with a middle-aged man, and they felt incredibly depressed.

Liu asked, "President Shen, what is your opinion on JD?"

Shen Yan didn't quite grasp his intention, so he responded vaguely, "In my view, JD is an e-commerce platform with great prospects; the emergence of smartphones will be the opportunity for JD to soar."

Liu was very happy to hear him say that, and he turned the topic to the matter of Ma copying the Scan feature.

He criticized this kind of base behavior.

He then asked if Shen Yan was interested in investing in JD to have a big showdown with Taobao.

Clearly, Liu had his eye on the massive user resources in Shen Yan's hands.

And it would be a lie to say Shen Yan wasn't tempted; before Pinduoduo appeared, JD was second only to Taobao, occupying a pivotal position in the e-commerce field.

"President Liu, let's exchange contact information and find a time to discuss it in detail later."

This sentence was a very obvious signal.

"Then I shall await the good news." A flash of joy flickered in Liu's eyes.

After the two finished exchanging contact information, Sina Wang Dong came over; hearing from Chen Jun that Shen Yan possessed an understanding of the internet that transcended the era and had an unconventional way of thinking, Wang Dong intended to carry out drastic reforms to Weibo and prepared to ask for Shen Yan's thoughts.

"President Wang, as a social media platform, I think Weibo lacks a core concept."

"Oh! How so?"

"Social media gathers hot news from all over the country, but after I open Weibo, I don't have a dedicated channel to find this hot news; I can only scroll down from the main page. If I scroll to it, it's fate; if I don't, it's all for nothing.

If a piece of news cannot trigger effective resonance among the masses, how can user activity be high?"

Buzz!

Wang Dong felt as if he had been enlightened, becoming exceptionally excited, and asked Shen Yan to explain how to build this channel.

"Uncle Wang, excuse me, my grandparents want to see Shen Yan."

However, the appearance of the sister duo made him feel as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat; he even had the urge to kill.

Shen Yan smiled faintly, exchanged contact information with Wang Dong, and indicated they would talk later; Wang Dong readily agreed and a thought sprouted in his mind.

To invite Shen Yan to invest in Sina.

Seeing Wang Dong leave, Wang Sicong, who had been secretly watching Chen Yezi, suddenly popped out and winked at Shen Yan, leaving Shen Yan both annoyed and amused.

However, he still introduced him to Chen Yezi: "Yezi, let me introduce you, this is Wang Sicong; Wanda Film was founded by him and me together."

Wang Sicong couldn't help but be overjoyed, calling out in his heart that Old Shen was a true brother.

This was because these words didn't introduce him as the young master of Wanda, living off the shadow of his father's generation.

But as a genuine entrepreneur.

"Hello, Miss Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Wang Sicong reached out a hand to Chen Yezi in a friendly manner, wearing a smile he considered very gentlemanly.

"Hello!" Chen Yezi shook his hand politely.

The softness felt in his palm made Wang Sicong's heart throb violently.

This unprecedented electric sensation... Wang Sicong knew he was truly done for; this woman was his natural nemesis.

However, before he could say anything more, Chen Yezi kicked Shen Yan in the shin without warning.

Then she walked away without looking back.

Uh... Wang Sicong's hand froze in mid-air, feeling a bit awkward.

"Old Shen, what's the situation?"

Chen Shanni was also very surprised, as Shen Yan clearly hadn't done anything excessive.

"Did you have a conflict with Yezi?"

Watching the beautiful figure in high heels slowly walking away, Shen Yan shrugged, indicating he didn't know either.

In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he wasn't quite sure.

Was the little girl angry at him for introducing her to someone else?

Subsequently, Shen Yan followed Chen Shanni to meet her grandparents, two very sturdy elders whose faces, filled with the traces of time, revealed kindness.

His maternal grandparents had long since passed away.

One died in a car accident over a decade ago, and the other passed away from illness last year.

After chatting with the two elders for a while, Shen Yan ran to the dessert area and casually picked out a few egg tarts and French tuna tarts; the taste was unexpectedly good.

Taking advantage of this moment, many socialites and young married women came up to strike up a conversation with Shen Yan.

They were either the daughters of some conglomerate or powerful businesswomen, hinting in their words that they wanted to get to know Shen Yan, asking for his business card or to add him on WeChat.

A few of the more unrestrained young married women had eyelids that twitched as if they were cramping, blinking incessantly and emitting a faint, lingering current; it was estimated that as long as Shen Yan gave a signal, they could have a "friendly match" after the banquet.

However, Shen Yan remained as motionless as an old tree with deep roots.

Through this experience, Shen Yan met many descendants of prestigious families, including Yuan Nanpeng's daughter, Yuan Pingping, a graduate student currently studying at Fudan University.

She was an intellectual beauty with both talent and looks.

The two had many common topics and chatted idly back and forth.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

Suddenly, Shen Yan heard a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Looking up, he discovered that across the dining table, Wang Sicong and Chen Yezi had actually gotten together; he didn't know what Wang Sicong had said, but it made Chen Yezi tremble with laughter.

Shen Yan frowned slightly; it seemed he had underestimated the young master Wang's ability to pick up women—he was truly worthy of someone who had crawled his way through piles of women.

Considering the occasion was inappropriate, Shen Yan didn't say much; he greeted Yuan Pingping and turned to walk toward the restroom, while Chen Yezi caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye, restrained her smile, and followed him at a leisurely pace.

She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the wall opposite the restroom, her toes twisting gently, the high heels rubbing against the floor to make a creaking sound.

It was her first time wearing high heels, which made her very uncomfortable.

But Chen Yezi still endured the discomfort, expressionless, making herself appear even colder and more aloof.

"Are you looking for me?"

Shen Yan, who had just come out after using the restroom, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her.
