NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29
Chapter 29: Ye Chen Thinks Nanjing Girls Are Too Shy:
(The Jiang family mansion)
A man reported to Jiang Mengyao, “Miss, we’ve taught that person a lesson.”
Jiang Mengyao put down her ‘Nightfall’ perfume and asked, “What do you think of Ye Chen’s abilities?”
“Uh… I’d say we might have sent too many people this time.”
“Oh?”
“His aura suggests he has just embarked on the path of cultivation, probably at the first or second stage of the Qi Training realm. We sent several experts at the fifth or sixth stage.”
“He had almost no ability to resist. He’s currently hospitalized.”
Jiang Mengyao nodded, “We must not underestimate this person. Any future actions against him should involve twice as many people to ensure success. You did well this time, you may go.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The man bowed and left.
Since discovering that this was a novel world through Chen Lang’s diary, Jiang Mengyao had read several urban novels of this type.
She realized that protagonists like Ye Chen often pretend to be weak and then reveal their strength later on.
They typically have some secret weapon or ability to defeat stronger opponents.
So Jiang Mengyao decided to always double the number of people sent against him to ensure absolute success.
…
Several days passed.
(The Chen Family Mansion)
Chen Lang reverted to being lazy, dominating VR games and defeating female characters. Immersed in the thrill of VR gaming, he was oblivious to Ye Chen being hospitalized.
Based on Chen Lang’s calculations, Ye Chen should now be flirting with female leads like Cheng Jinjing and Tang Xiaofu.
Since these events didn’t involve him—being the pathetic villain in Xiao Mingyue’s plot—he had no intention of getting involved.
Why add more work for himself? Closing the door and playing games at home was much more enjoyable.
However, in reality, the protagonist Ye Chen had been bedridden for several days.
During this time, Ye Chen longed to see Cheng Jinjing, hoping for some real interaction. He believed that, despite her shyness, she wouldn’t ignore his plight.
To leave a good impression, he endured his pain, washing his face, brushing his teeth, and keeping his hair perfectly styled daily.
Unfortunately, after several days in the hospital, he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Cheng Jinjing.
Unbeknownst to him, Cheng Jinjing was deliberately avoiding his room. After reading Chen Lang’s diary, she knew that Ye Chen’s beatings would only make him stronger. So, she didn’t want to provoke him further and chose to stay away.
After a few days, Ye Chen’s exceptional recovery abilities kicked in, and he left the hospital feeling better than ever.
However, Ye Chen felt disappointed after not seeing Cheng Jinjing. He assumed she was too shy to visit him. The shyness of girls in Nanjing was beyond his expectations.
…
These past few days, Xiao Mingyue had been the most troubled, overwhelmed by financial discrepancies in her company.
The primary issue was that no external report could identify the problem. It had to be an insider stealing funds, but the methods were too sneaky to trace.
One day, as Xiao Mingyue was working in her office, her secretary entered.
“CEO Xiao, a man named Ye Chen is downstairs. He claims to know how to solve the company’s financial problems and hopes to see you.”
Ye Chen???
This guy dared to approach her?
Xiao Mingyue coldly replied, “No, tell security to throw him out! And remember his face; don’t let him set foot in this company again.”
The secretary was surprised and meekly said, “CEO Xiao, he… he claims to know who is behind the financial issues…”
“Do I need to repeat myself?”
Startled by her tone, the secretary hurried out, “Sorry, CEO Xiao, I’ll have him thrown out right away.”
After leaving the office, the secretary Xiao Qing was puzzled.
She wasn’t defending Ye Chen; his demeanor had simply suggested he knew the root of the company’s problems. Xiao Qing knew how stressed Xiao Mingyue was about the financial issues and thought meeting Ye Chen might help.
But Xiao Mingyue’s strong reaction against Ye Chen was surprising.
Xiao Mingyue was always composed, even when dealing with the annoying Chen Lang.
Xiao Qing soon realized Ye Chen must have seriously offended her boss to cause such a strong response.
In her office, Xiao Mingyue felt her decision to kick Ye Chen out of the company was wise.
After reading Chen Lang’s diary, she had also read several urban novels and was shocked. Protagonists like Ye Chen often had multiple girlfriends simultaneously, attracting women through inexplicable coincidences.
Xiao Mingyue thought, no matter the company’s financial loss, she must never let Ye Chen get close to her. She couldn’t imagine being part of Ye Chen’s harem, competing for his favor with other women. The thought alone was terrifying.
