"Go to the capital."
"Oh." Jiang Jiewen nodded. Although she wanted to follow Jiang Chen, she also understood that being behind him wouldn't help at all; it would only be a burden, so she refrained from saying anything.
Seeing the mixed expression of disappointment and hope on Jiang Jiewen's face, Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, though it was barely noticeable.
"Jiang Jiewen, everything takes time. The road ahead is still long. It's best to live for yourself; that's what makes life meaningful. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Jiang Chen said.
Jiang Jiewen fell silent, gazing at Jiang Chen, deep in thought.
"But I'm afraid time will run out. Life is actually very short, and I won't be young for much longer. I want to leave behind a memory during my best years. Even if that memory ends in misfortune, I still want to have it," Jiang Jiewen said earnestly after a moment of contemplation.
"You will always remain young; don't worry, trust me," Jiang Chen suddenly smiled brightly. The charm in his smile brought a sense of peace to Jiang Jiewen.
"I will always remain young? But I'm already twenty-four." Though she knew Jiang Chen was extraordinary, this notion still seemed hard for Jiang Jiewen to believe.
"Ten years from now, you will still be just like you are now. A hundred years from now, you might even look younger," Jiang Chen replied with a laugh.
With the revival of Spiritual Energy on Earth and the onset of the cultivation era, everyone could cultivate. Human lifespans would be extended due to the infusion of Spiritual Energy. Even without cultivation, the average lifespan of ordinary people could reach between one hundred fifty to two hundred years. For cultivators, lifespans were even longer; while not everyone could live for a thousand years, reaching several hundred was quite achievable. Given their relationship, Jiang Chen would naturally provide Jiang Jiewen with the most suitable cultivation method and guide her on the path that suited her best. Even if Jiang Jiewen's aptitude was mediocre, with Jiang Chen's help, reaching a lifespan of a thousand years would be quite easy.
Moreover, Jiang Jiewen's aptitude was not mediocre; she had potential worth nurturing.
Jiang Chen spoke these seemingly light words with a smile, but for Jiang Jiewen, they struck like thunder, leaving her greatly shocked.
Could she really grow younger as she lived?
Though she found this hard to believe, Jiang Jiewen chose to trust Jiang Chen. After thinking for a moment, she nodded solemnly at him.
"I understand now; time is long," Jiang Jiewen said with a smile, shaking off her earlier gloom.
"Yes, time is long," Jiang Chen replied again with a warm smile that brightened Jiang Jiewen's mood.
Although she still didn't know what lay ahead, she felt that with Jiang Chen's words, her future was destined to be bright; he had not forgotten her.
"I've thought it over; I'm willing to try being the chairperson. Of course, I hope the company isn't too big; I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt," Jiang Jiewen suddenly said with a laugh.
Jiang Chen chuckled and took out his phone to call Jiang Luyi. Most of his assets were currently managed by Jiang Luyi, so arranging for her to manage a company was a simple matter.
After discussing it with Jiang Luyi, Jiang Chen sent her phone number to Jiang Jiewen.
"After the New Year, contact her. She's a few years older than you and manages a company worth billions. If you have any questions, you can ask her. Learning how to do business is also a valuable skill," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
While Nangang had companies too, they were too small. Moreover, Hua Sheng Company had been managed by Zhuyong, Ma Wenlai, and Zhou Dafeng for so many years; if he were to give away anything substantial, it could only go to those three.
