Thinking this, Lu Man's mother no longer hesitated. She nodded and said, "Alright."

She glanced at Lu Man and said helplessly, "Since Man Man agrees, her dad and I have no objections."

Lu Man's father: ??

'I don't seem to have said anything...'

With Chen Yan's efforts, the matter was finally settled to satisfaction, and the atmosphere in the house returned to its previous warmth.

In the subsequent conversation, the topic shifted from casual chat to the parents of both sides meeting.

Lu Man knew that Chen Yan had not yet finished discussing it with his parents, so although she felt happy that the issue could be resolved, she was always worried that Chen Yan wouldn't be able to handle it in the end.

Even without "inner headphones," Chen Yan guessed her thoughts and gave her a reassuring look while Lu Man's mother and father were not paying attention.

With Chen Yan's hint, Lu Man was finally able to set her mind at ease.

At night, after dinner, Lu Man's parents did not keep Chen Yan to stay over at their home.

Lu Man wanted to go with Chen Yan to the hotel, but her mother stopped her.

So, in the end, Chen Yan left Lu Man's house by himself.

Of course, to show their warmth, Lu Man, her mother, and her father escorted him all the way to the entrance of the neighborhood before returning.

Back at the hotel, after Chen Yan had washed up, he received a message from Lu Man on WeChat.

In the chat, Lu Man excitedly discussed meeting the parents with Chen Yan.

She asked for Chen Yan's impressions of her home and her parents.

What could Chen Yan say? Of course, he brushed it off with responses like, "Really nice," "Uncle is very steady," "Auntie is very nice."

After this small talk, Lu Man brought up the promise Chen Yan made today.

There was worry in between every line.

Understanding her current mood, Chen Yan patiently comforted her, staying by her side.

And so, they chatted until midnight before ending the conversation.

The next day, after greeting Lu Man's parents, Chen Yan took his private jet back to Qin Island.

Lu Man, having not been home for a long time, decided to stay with her elderly parents for a while.

After returning to Qin Island, Chen Yan visited his parents again.

He wanted to gauge their opinions.

This time, the attitude of Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen had softened somewhat, at least allowing Chen Yan to come home.

However, when Chen Yan mentioned that matter, they kicked him out again.

Knowing his parents' characters, Chen Yan understood that their mindset was loosening, and he just had to try a few more times to achieve his goal.

Back home, Chen Yan planned to catch up on work for this period.

With Zhao Qingtian out of the way, the Chen Group's potential was fully realized.

Especially with sufficient funds, Douyin's growth was extremely rapid, and the mobile game Battlefield was topping charts in various countries.

It showed its dominant status.

The industry was very optimistic about its potential, believing it might be another game on the level of League of Legends + King of Glory.

Chenyu Game Company also recognized this, so during this period, an eSports department was established to prepare for major tournaments and professional competitions in various countries.

Once they could build up the eSports atmosphere, this game would truly become a global phenomenon.

As for Douyin, it was even more terrifying.

Riding the momentum of topping charts abroad and the optimized, re-optimized artificial intelligence push, Douyin'sdevelopment within the country was advancing rapidly.

Originally at an even field with Slow Hand, it had started to pull ahead and lead.

In a few more months, becoming the industry leader was almost guaranteed.

Furthermore, for sustainable development, Qin Ming also gradually opened up Douyin's profit model.

Such as advertisers, such as live streaming.

These two core businesses of the Chen Group gradually grew stronger, boosting the company's thriving prospects.

Especially owning its own traffic channels, its own efficient monetization channels, and with Tencent's multi-faceted containment having little effect, the Chen Group was gradually displaying the style of a corporate giant...

While Chen Yan's business was thriving, he also didn't forget to continue managing his personal affairs.

The matter with Lu Man was temporarily settled, he still needed to patiently wait regarding his parents, next, Chen Yan was going to deal with Yu Qiao Qiao.

On Saturday, a rest day, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao went back to the orphanage, planning to meet with the matron grandmother.

In the past two years, Chen Yan actually accompanied Yu Qiao Qiao back to the orphanage from time to time.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had grown up, now in high school and preparing for university.

Because of their busy academic schedules, they had started boarding at school.

The orphanage had no new children, so it was just the matron grandmother alone.

Here, Chen Yan was not the billionaire tycoon; he was just Yu Qiao Qiao's boyfriend.

Therefore, he took on some of the household chores, leaving time for Yu Qiao Qiao and the matron grandmother to chat.

Sitting in the courtyard, the matron grandmother sat on a rocking chair. Despite her advanced age and wrinkled body, her eyes remained clear.

As Yu Qiao Qiao gently rocked the matron's chair, she quietly asked, "Grandma, the brother you asked me to find, is his surname Du?"

The matron grandmother, with her eyes closed, comfortably lying on the chair, hummed affirmatively from her nose after hearing Yu Qiao Qiao's question.

Yu Qiao Qiao asked, "Does he work in the national disciplinary inspection department?"

The matron grandmother hummed again, and this time, she asked, "What's up?"

Having received an affirmative response from the matron grandmother, Yu Qiao Qiao felt somewhat reassured.

She quietly said, "Nothing. It's just, I never knew who he was."

"When I initially asked him for help, he also said he couldn't help me."

"But later, it seemed... he actually did help me."

Curious, Yu Qiao Qiao asked, "But grandma, how did you know he could help us?"

"You gave me the note so early."

The matron grandmother chuckled, perhaps because she had done many good deeds over the years, her smile, despite the wrinkles, appeared especially benevolent.

She said softly, "Silly child. Of course, I guessed."

She explained, "You are the one I watched grow up. I know your character too well. You wouldn't do anything illegal or undisciplined."

"I've met Chen Yan too, and I can tell he's very smart and upright."

"Although I don't know much about your company, I think, with both of you in charge, it's unlikely to encounter problems under normal operations."

"If problems do arise, they're likely to be smoothly resolved."

"So, if ever there are unavoidable issues, they are probably due to some people not taking the proper route, using official means improperly."

"Isn't that exactly within the scope of his job?"

Hearing the matron's words, Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly had an epiphany.

Although she had suspected that Du Ting was the orphanage's brother, she could never confirm it because she couldn't comprehend why the matron could foresee the challenges she and Chen Yan faced.

She had even doubted whether she was just fantasizing.

In reality, the brother she contacted over the phone hadn't been of any help.

And Du Ting's striking against Zhao Qingtian had been purely coincidental.

Now, all her questions had been answered.

However, there was still one doubt she held.

She glanced at the matron grandmother and, seeing that she was in a good mood, she quietly asked, "Grandma. I remember when you gave me that note before, you seemed very upset... Had that brother offended you somehow?"
