Chapter 2516

Qian Hongyan's speed of earning money made Ma Lan extremely angry and jealous.

At this moment, her heart truly realized that Qian Hongyan had completely turned things around, and she had done it fast and ruthlessly.

At this speed of earning tens of thousands of yuan every day, Qian Hongyan's annual income was at least at the level of ten or twenty million.

Don't look at the fact that Ma Lan lives in a villa worth over one hundred million; if she were really asked to earn it, she wouldn't be able to earn that much money in eight lifetimes.

Moreover, even if Ma Lan didn't understand the internet, she had also realized a trend. With red eyes, she choked up: "Qian Hongyan has hatched a hen that lays golden eggs... and according to this trend, I'm afraid the eggs this chicken lays will get bigger and bigger, and more and more... Now it's earning tens of thousands a day; maybe in a while it will be earning hundreds of thousands a day, and then she could earn one hundred million in a year..."

Speaking of this, Ma Lan suddenly wailed and shouted loudly: "God, how could you let a bastard like Qian Hongyan turn things around! Even if you let a dog turn things around, you shouldn't have let her turn things around!"

Xiao Churan couldn't watch anymore and hurriedly comforted her: "Mom, let's just live our own lives well. Why bother with so many things in other people's homes? Don't let other people's affairs affect our own mood."

Ma Lan cried and said: "What do you know! Watching her earn money is more uncomfortable than me losing money myself! If God agrees, I'd rather use my other leg to trade for Qian Hongyan's ruin and being knocked back to her original state!"

Xiao Churan asked with a puzzled look: "Mom... you... why are you doing this..."

"You don't understand..." Ma Lan lay on the bed and cried loudly, choking painfully: "In my life, I've been bullied the worst by two people: one is Old Mrs. Xiao, and the other is Qian Hongyan! In this world, anyone can live well, but only those two cannot!"

Ye Chen sighed and thought to himself: "Downstairs is the father-in-law crying for his parents because of a broken heart, and upstairs is the mother-in-law crying and howling because of jealousy toward Qian Hongyan. Today's fortune doesn't seem to be conducive to family harmony..."

At this time, Ma Lan suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "Damn it, I'm going to complain about her on the short video platform! If that doesn't work, I'll go to the headquarters of the short video group another day and protest by pulling a banner at their front door! I'll say whatever it takes to expose Qian Hongyan's lies! I don't believe the boss of this short video platform can sit by and watch such a liar fish for money on their platform!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but touch his nose.

The boss of the short video platform—isn't that himself...

A long time ago, Ye Chen had already asked Tang Sihai to buy this popular short video platform. At that time, live-streaming e-commerce wasn't so powerful, and he definitely counted as having bought at the bottom.

Now that live-streaming e-commerce is in full swing, this short video platform has become the largest live-streaming sales channel in the country. The platform's valuation has already doubled or tripled, and his floating profit is already over one hundred billion RMB.

If he continues to hold it, when the platform presents its three-year rapid growth report, as long as it goes public on NASDAQ, the market value will be at least thirty or fifty billion US dollars or even more.

In fact, this is the way capital earns money: identify a project, buy in at a low point, and then wait for the wind to come. As long as the wind comes, flipping it ten or twenty times is nothing.

Peter Thiel, the investor who first invested in Facebook's angel round, invested five hundred thousand US dollars in Facebook and, when he finally left, cashed out a full one billion US dollars. The rate of return reached twenty thousand times.

And this is also the direction Ye Chen's mother, An Chengxi, was best at. Most of the Silicon Valley companies she invested in achieved growth of over ten thousand times.

It is precisely because Ye Chen entered the short video platform early that he also pays more attention to current live-streaming sales. He knows very well that streamers like Qian Hongyan on the internet can be said to be everywhere, but no matter what kind of stories they make up or what kind of personas they establish, their ultimate goal is actually only one, and that is to earn money.

Even those super-rich people who show off mansions worth hundreds of millions or billions whenever they have nothing to do, posting videos, doing live streams, and doing sales on the short video platform every day, are actually just doing it to earn money.

Even more so, they aren't second-generation rich at all; it's completely a script created by an influencer agency.

As the boss of the short video platform, although Ye Chen also feels that people and things like Qian Hongyan are indeed relatively low, he also knows very well that this represents the market direction and commercial laws.

After all, the vast majority of people in the country are still ordinary wage earners, or even farmers. This is the sinking market that all companies are currently fighting for, and it is also the target that these influencer streamers are fighting for. If he doesn't allow such people and things to appear on his platform, these streamers will just change to another platform and make up the same stories.

And as a result, his short video platform would have its streamers and traffic divided by other competitors, subsequently triggering an overall collapse.

Many well-known internet companies from back then lost the whole game because of one wrong move.

Therefore, he simply stopped trying to persuade Ma Lan and instead said to Xiao Churan: "Wife, let's just go out and let Mom calm down by herself."

Xiao Churan nodded helplessly and said to Ma Lan: "Mom, adjust yourself. Ye Chen and I are going out first."

Ma Lan didn't pay attention to the two of them, just kept lying on the bed, crying non-stop.

Xiao Changkun downstairs, because what Ye Chen said was too heart-piercing, was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, legs curled up against the sofa. While smoking, just like Ma Lan, he couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Ye Chen was also extremely helpless, so he said to Xiao Churan: "Wife, why don't we just not worry about either of them and let them adjust slowly by themselves."

Xiao Churan asked Ye Chen: "How is my dad?"

"He's also been crying the whole time." Ye Chen sighed and shrugged: "Dad being so decadent these past few days isn't actually because he didn't perform well during the cultural exchange."

Xiao Churan asked in surprise: "Then what is it because of?"

Ye Chen said calmly: "Because of Auntie Han."

Ma Lan had never known that Han Meiqing had returned to Jin Ling, but Xiao Churan knew.

Back when Ma Lan was sent to prison for stealing Ye Chen's money, Xiao Changkun had run to the airport in a suit and leather shoes to welcome Han Meiqing and her son Paul, and later even diligently invited the mother and son to their home for a meal. Xiao Churan had seen all of this.

She could see that her father still couldn't forget that Auntie Han, and even had deep feelings for her. She had once been angry with her father because of this. Later, after learning about those things between her parents back then, she didn't mention these things in front of her father again.

When she heard Ye Chen say that her father was decadent because of Auntie Han, she hurriedly asked: "What exactly is going on?"

Ye Chen explained: "Auntie Han is with someone else, someone much better than Dad. Dad can't accept this blow, so he's been spending his days smoking and drinking alone these past few days."

"This..." Xiao Churan suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

As the daughter of Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, she naturally didn't want her father to love another woman in his heart.

However, after knowing about the things between her parents and Auntie Han back then, Xiao Churan felt some sympathy for her father's inner torment over these years.

After pondering for a moment, she said helplessly: "Sometimes, I feel that my dad and my mom aren't a good match at all, but sometimes, I feel that the two of them seem to be a perfect pair created by heaven. Once my dad gets over this hurdle in his heart, I hope they can live their lives peacefully and well..."

At this very moment.

Penang, Malaysia.

Lin Wan'er had already obtained a full set of identity documents under the name Lin Xiaowan, as well as a birth certificate and personnel files from elementary school to high school.

Making this set of documents is easy, but if one wants these documents to be completely synchronized in the official information of the Malaysian government, it is definitely not an easy thing.

But Qiu Yingshan did it with ease.

Moreover, to ensure that everything was foolproof, he specifically had his distant relatives memorize a whole set of scripts related to Lin Xiaowan, and even in the files, the teachers and principals of every school Lin Xiaowan had attended memorized these scripts by heart.

All the image materials from the schools for all the classes Lin Xiaowan had attended in her files were modified by professionals. For example, adding Lin Wan'er's name to graduation photos, photoshopping her picture in, and even in many life photos and sports meet photos, her figure was very naturally photoshopped in, and no traces of artificial modification could be seen at all.

Perhaps the students in these classes, after seeing this content, would all doubt whether they had really forgotten such a classmate.

However, these tampered materials were subject to certain confidentiality measures, so those classmates who had been in the same class as Lin Wan'er in those files could not possibly see this content.

This also further guaranteed the safety of the identity of Lin Xiaowan.

Qiu Yingshan being able to do this is based on his powerful social status in Nanyang and his deep-rooted network background. Here, there is nothing he cannot do.

Lin Wan'er asking Qiu Yingshan to make such a fake identity was actually prepared entirely for Ye Chen alone.

She knew that after meeting Ye Chen, Ye Chen would definitely be suspicious of her, so he would inevitably investigate her identity.

As long as it could make her look flawless to him, then this set of identities would have completed its mission.

After Qiu Yingshan gave all the identity proofs to Lin Wan'er, he said respectfully: "Miss, I have already greeted Jin Ling University. They have already sent the relevant introductions for the school and various majors. You can choose any major you like at will. After you choose, they will issue you an admission letter."

Lin Wan'er nodded gently and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work. If it's convenient, help me arrange a plane; I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Qiu Yingshan hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "Miss, I have an uninvited request, and I dare to ask for your permission..."

Lin Wan'er smiled: "Go ahead."

Qiu Yingshan bowed and said: "My wife and I also hope to accompany you to Jin Ling. On one hand, I hope to use the network I have accumulated in Jin Ling over these years to help you pave the way and provide backing in Jin Ling, so that you can have more convenience in Jin Ling; on the other hand, my wife has also wanted to go back and take a look for these years. We are old, and I estimate this will be the last time we go back."

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Then let's go together. Sun Zhidong is also going to Jin Ling to meet me, so it just so happens that you can also catch up on old times."

Qiu Yingshan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Miss, for your fulfillment! Then I will go and arrange it now, and we will fly directly from Penang to Jin Ling early tomorrow morning!"
