"4G network?" Lin Yue was taken aback.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Next, the world will enter an era dominated by the internet. What we need to do now is to catch this era's train.

I've invested in several domestic digital media outlets, and they've now grown to a significant size. You two discuss how to integrate the digital media sector with the international market.

Moreover, since the internet has begun to thrive, e-commerce will undoubtedly explode. While others haven't yet realized this, we need to bite into this piece of the cake hard. Furthermore, e-commerce is an indispensable link. We also need to get industries like delivery services going, and then there's more..."

Drawing on the memories from his dreams, Jiang Chen mentioned several of the fastest-growing industries of the future.

Lin Yue watched Jiang Chen with shining eyes. She truly hadn't expected him to have such a visionary approach to business. She felt a newfound respect for Jiang Chen, her boss, though whether his foresight would be confirmed still needed time to prove!

After an exchange, Zhou Cheng was inwardly shocked. He never imagined that Jiuzhou Group was actually Jiang Chen's property.

Even though Zhou Cheng had been sent by the old gentleman to Yi Chen, he was not privy to Jiuzhou Group's secretive existence.

After instructing Zhou Cheng not to disclose anything about Jiuzhou Group, Jiang Chen assigned them some tasks and then dismissed them.

At this point, a force that entirely belonged to Jiang Chen himself took shape.

...

Whoo...

In front of Dingjing University, a Knight XV was parked in the open-air car park outside the school.

Half a month had passed, and under Jiang Chen's dedicated care, Gong Lin's injuries had healed completely.

Just yesterday and the day before, two major Dingjing families had changed leadership. Ye Jianzhong from the Ye Family was deposed, and Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang, father and son, were expelled, with Ye Yuwan becoming the new Family Head.

At the same time, Old Lady Luo announced that Gong Lin would be honored in the Gong Family henceforth!

The change in leadership of the two major families caused a stir throughout Dingjing, especially because the ceremony was attended by Yi Chen Group's mysterious boss, who personally led the two major shareholders, Lin Bingrui and Wang Dingguo, and even called on Elder Shen Zhenguo. All four heavyweights witnessed the event.

After that incident, Dingjing was temporarily peaceful again.

With a crisp sound, the door of the Knight XV opened, and Jiang Chen stepped out and walked into the school.

He was about to leave, so Jiang Chen returned to the university to take care of his leave of absence.

"Boss!" Coming out of the administration building, a shout rang out. Jiang Chen turned his head to see Lu Yunbo and Sun Hao running towards him with faces full of surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "It's you two. How have you been? Where's Wen Jie?"

"We're as usual, Wen Jie..." There was a slight change in Lu Yunbo's expression, and a look of concern crossed their faces.

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked in a serious tone, "What's wrong with Wen Jie?"

"Wen Jie has disappeared!" Lu Yunbo said solemnly.

"Disappeared?!" Jiang Chen was surprised, his demeanor becoming grave, "What happened? How could he disappear?"

"I know what happened!" A pleasant voice spoke up, and a figure with a sultry physique joined the group.

Jiang Chen and the others turned their heads to look and were puzzled.

"Meng Yanran, do you know why Zhang Wenjie disappeared?" Jiang Chen frowned as he looked at the approaching Meng Yanran.

Meng Yanran glanced at Jiang Chen and turned her head to Lu Yunbo and the others, "You don't have to worry. Zhang Wenjie didn't disappear. His family took him home."

"Home? That guy, he could have at least said something before going home!" Sun Hao muttered under his breath, clearly displeased.

Lu Yunbo frowned slightly and gave Meng Yanran a deep look before turning to Jiang Chen. He wasn't as naive as Sun Hao and had a feeling something wasn't right.

"I'll have a word with Teacher Meng. You guys go ahead and start class," Jiang Chen said softly, catching Lu Yunbo's gaze.

Lu Yunbo nodded and pulled Sun Hao away, believing that if something had happened to Zhang Wenjie, Jiang Chen wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

"Jiang Chen, let's go for a walk," Meng Yanran said before Jiang Chen could speak.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and the two strolled down the school's pathway.

"I'm Zhang Wenjie's fiancée, the kind where we were betrothed as children!" Meng Yanran blurted out, catching Jiang Chen off guard.

Meng Yanran smiled faintly, "I am two years older than Wenjie, and our families have been close for a century. When Wenjie's mother was pregnant with him, my grandfather and Zhang grandfather agreed that if Wenjie were a girl, it would be fine, but if he were a boy, he would be betrothed to me as a child."

"We grew up together since we were kids. Wenjie has always been a very assertive boy, protecting me from when we were little, but..."

Meng Yanran's eyes revealed a touch of sadness, "Wenjie began to distance himself from me after participating in a summer camp in his second year of high school and even went to Dingjing for university. To find out the reason, I applied to teach at Dingjing University, but before I could even approach him, he ran away again."

Jiang Chen looked Meng Yanran up and down in confusion. Meng Yanran was attractive and had a great figure, and Zhang Wenjie wasn't the kind of person to abandon friends for romance. He couldn't figure out why Zhang Wenjie was avoiding her.

Sensing Jiang Chen's reaction, Meng Yanran gave a wry smile, "I thought you knew the reason. It seems you don't."

"Me? What made you think I would know?" Jiang Chen asked with a hint of amusement.

Meng Yanran smiled lightly, "Xiao Jie is a proud person. Though he appears approachable on the surface, he is proud at heart and wouldn't call someone 'Boss' unless he had fully acknowledged that person."

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, as this was something he hadn't considered. His thoughts raced, and he said solemnly, "Judging by what you're saying, Jie didn't go home, did he? Where is his family from?"

"That... Since Xiao Jie didn't tell you, it's not convenient for me to say. But..." Meng Yanran gave another wry smile, "If he wanted to avoid me, how could he possibly go home!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen took out his phone to make a call.

"There's no need to call. Xiao Jie's phone has been turned off. It hasn't been turned on at all these past few days." A pained expression crossed Meng Yanran's face, looking utterly desolate.

"Teacher Meng, even though I don't know why Jie is avoiding you, he isn't the type to abandon his responsibilities. He must have his reasons!" Jiang Chen said with conviction.

Meng Yanran nodded confidently, "I believe that. I won't give up. I must find Xiao Jie and get a clear explanation."

She paused, then looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes, "Jiang Chen, if..."

"Teacher Meng, please give me your cell phone number," Jiang Chen interrupted her, speaking softly.

Meng Yanran gave a small smile, and they exchanged phone numbers before parting ways.

As he left the school, Jiang Chen paused, surprised to see a familiar petite figure beside his car.

Why is it her?
