When the countdown of the Spring Festival Gala on TV ended, the bells at midnight rang, and the New Year was coming, and scattered firecrackers were vaguely sounded outside the window.

Although there are regulations prohibiting fireworks and firecrackers in urban areas, some people still can't help setting off firecrackers illegally at this festive moment.

At Chen Fang's home, Chen Fang, Zhang Xinran, Chen Jing and Zhao Long congratulated each other on the New Year. Zhao Chuchu greeted several people one by one and received four big red envelopes.

"Oh...if Xiaofeng was there too."

After the lively moment, Chen Fang couldn't help but sigh softly as he listened to the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside the window.

Last year, Qin Feng took Chen Jing and Zhang Xinran back to Zhangjiazhai to spend the New Year with her, and taught Zhou Bingquan a lesson to tarnish her, and also killed Beichenhai and Liuchuan Nin and his master and apprentice at the entrance of Chenjiazhai Village.

This year, Qin Feng left only a goodbye.

Hearing Chen Fang's sigh, the smiles on the faces of Zhang Xinran, Chen Jing and Zhao Long instantly frozen, and even Zhao Chuchu became silent.

They all met, met, and got together because of Qin Feng, but the young man who brought them together now doesn't know where he is.

"Mom, it's getting late, you can rest early."

Chen Jing took the lead in coming to his senses and spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Um."

Chen Fang nodded and said, "You guys go and rest too."

Then, everyone left one after another, and the lively atmosphere was gone forever, replaced by missing and worry.

Zhang Xinran returned to the room in silence, but did not rest. Instead, she sat on the bay window, hugged her knees with her hands, and looked at the brightly lit night view, secretly feeling sad.

After a while, with a slight sound, the door opened and Chen Jing walked in.

"Xiao Jing, why are you here?"

Zhang Xinran turned her head and saw Chen Jing. She tried her best to adjust her emotions and asked.

"I can't sleep. I think you must have not been asleep yet, so I come to chat with you." Chen Jing said, walking to Zhang Xinran and sitting on the bay window.

"well……"

Zhang Xinran sighed softly when she heard this, then asked, "Xiaojing, where did you think Brother Feng is now?"

"have no idea."

Chen Jing shook her head gently, Qin Feng left without time to say goodbye, and did not tell them where they were going, and did not even leave a contact information.

"He must be very lonely for the New Year alone, right?"

Zhang Xinran spoke again, as if she was asking Chen Jing, and more as if she was sighing softly, her words were filled with heartache.

"Xinran, you have been in a low mood these two days. Is it because of Brother Feng?" Chen Jing did not answer, but asked.

As she said, since yesterday, she found that Zhang Xinran was in a low mood, and she kept forcing her to smile even if she was tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

This is also the reason why she came to chat with Zhang Xinran.

“Yes, not all.”

Zhang Xinran nodded first, then shook her head, turned her head to look at Chen Jing and asked, "Xiao Jing, do you think I'm very incompetent?"

"Well……"

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Xinran thoughtfully.

"I have been working hard to make myself better and to be qualified to stand by Qin Feng's side in the future, but I found that I am so weak. Without Qin Feng's protection and support, I would not be able to reach today with my own efforts..."

Seeing that Chen Jing was not speaking, Zhang Xinran spoke again and expressed his thoughts to Chen Jing.

"Xinran, you were wrong."

When Zhang Xinran was halfway through, Chen Jing understood that Zhang Xinran's depression in the past two days was more because of everything she said now. She shook her head gently and interrupted Zhang Xinran's words, "Your efforts will make you very outstanding."

"Really...really?" Zhang Xinran looked at Chen Jing in disbelief.

"Yes. Maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but as an outsider, I have witnessed the changes of you for a year from the perspective of bystanders. It can be described as earth-shaking. A year ago, you liked to sleep in, go shopping, sing and dance, live broadcast... Now, you get up early every day to exercise, and have abandoned all your hobbies and put all your energy into studying."

Chen Jing nodded with a smile, his words filled with affirmation and admiration, "Think about it, how much management and financial knowledge you knew a year ago? Now you dare not say that you can easily manage and control Baixiong Group. At least you can control it. For example, a group group meeting, you gave a speech in front of thousands of people, planned the future of the group, so that all employees were full of motivation and hope. This is something that many corporate bosses could not do well, but you did it!"

Zhang Xinran was silent.

"Xinran, you doubt that denying yourself is largely because of what Yang Li said at the entrance of Jianguo Hotel?"

Chen Jing was as clear as a mirror, and asked softly, and without waiting for Zhang Xinran to respond, he said, "Xinran, let us go our own way and let others talk. Take Brother Feng for example. If he cares about other people's opinions and opinions, he will not be the hero in our hearts."

"Yeah, thank you, Xiaojing."

Zhang Xinran expressed her gratitude to Chen Jing, and her depressed mood also eased a little, and then asked: "By the way, Xiaojing, do you think the prospects for that project in the United States are really good?"

"The project has a good prospect, but the problem is that foreign investment may be hindered. The most important thing is that the other party asks you to go to negotiate in person, which is a very dangerous thing."

Chen Jing thought about it and gave the answer.

The project Zhang Xinran mentioned is a real estate project of the Rockefell family in the United States, with an investment of up to tens of billions of dollars. The board of directors of Baixiong Group once studied this project specifically and believed that the prospects and profits were good, but because the other party asked Zhang Xinran to go to the United States to negotiate, it was stranded.

"Maybe, we can think about it and find ways to promote this project." Zhang Xinran said seriously.

“Yes, you can consider it.”

When Chen Jing heard this, he knew that Zhang Xinran wanted to do a big project, which was not only to test his own abilities, but also to fight back against some gossip from the outside world, so he gave him support, but he kept the bottom line in his heart - he must not let Zhang Xinran risk his life to go to the United States to negotiate this business!

...

at the same time.

In a B&B in the suburbs of Yanjing.

Wu Kong and Yan Huang sat in the restaurant, drinking bulk pure grain wine.

On this special day when the family is reunited, the master and apprentice gather together to celebrate the New Year.

This is also because some people outside think that they are both masters and apprentices and "father and son".

"Master, you made those two statements to the outside world and stated that you would personally take action against Xiaofeng, which would completely cut off Xiaofeng's way back to China. Unless he can be as strong as you, and can act as the guardian of China, forcing the Qin family and the Yang family to bow their heads. Otherwise, once you return to China, you will encounter pressure from all parties. If you take action..."

Wu Kong didn't say this anymore. He knew that Yan Huang understood what he meant.

"I did it on purpose, not because of the pressure from the Yang family." Yan Huang said amazingly.

"Well……"

Wu Kong looked confused.

"The Dark Council is ready to move, and the secret forces are born one after another. There is not much time left for him. He must burn his boats!"

Yan Huang explained, his tone was low and decisive.

"Oh, too, but he has no way out."

Wu Kong sighed. He could pay attention to Yan Huang's painstaking efforts, but at the same time he also felt that this was too cruel and harsh for Qin Feng.

"Since you met him, have you ever seen him take a step back on this road?" Yan Huang asked back.

Wu Kong shook his head, and then a question suddenly emerged in his heart.

Life is like chess. Young people are willing to be the master of their lives and never take a step back!

Then...who is the chess player?!
