There are many Chinese in Chinatown. Although many people have lived here since childhood and are accustomed to life abroad, it does not mean that they will forget the festivals that belong to the Chinese people, especially the most important Spring Festival.
After staying at home for a few days, Zhou Chen went to Chenxing Capital, the company he founded.
Although Chenxing Capital has been established for a relatively short period of time, due to the background of Zhou Guoxing and the Huaqing Gang in Chinatown, coupled with Zhou Chen's outstanding vision, Chenxing Capital has developed well.
Among other things, there are many stores in Chinatown’s commercial streets now with investments from Chenxing Capital.
Zhou Chen is not only planning to invest in popular industries, he is also investing in industrial aspects. After all, he now has such good resources.
Industrial investment may not be as effective as the Internet and the stock market, and the rate of return may not be very high, but it is more stable, visible, graspable, and controllable.
He does not need Chenxing Capital to grow wildly. Now he only needs it to slowly improve. Penguin will have a big financing this year, and then he will take action.
In addition to domestic investment, there will also be many investment opportunities abroad in the next few years, such as Facebook, Twitter, and even Apple in the future, etc., which are relatively easy to invest in. In fact, besides these, there are many investment projects.
However, there are still certain differences between the United States and China. Chinese investors are actually ostracized. Therefore, after Zhou Chen established Chenxing Capital, he rarely reached out to places outside the San Francisco Bay Area.
Within the confines of Chinatown, the Huaqing Gang is quite powerful and can cover it, but beyond this range, its influence is much weakened.
Although Zhou Chen now has some funds, there is still a big gap compared to those capital giants. Therefore, in addition to Chenxing Capital, he also developed a pharmaceutical company at the same time. This is one of his most successful projects where practice makes perfect.
After a few years, his power will be established, and he will be able to compete with those capital giants. Now he needs to keep a low profile.
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is here. On New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen received a lot of blessing text messages, both domestic and foreign. When walking on the street, many people said hello to him, which seemed full of New Year spirit.
This year’s Spring Festival falls relatively later, on February 12th. In just two days, it’s Valentine’s Day on February 14th.
As the country continues to integrate with foreign countries, Valentine's Day on February 14th is slowly being accepted in China. Now many people in China celebrate this Valentine's Day. Even if it is not, there are still many people who know about this holiday.
Phuket, unlike the domestic capital, is a good place with moderate temperatures in February.
After celebrating the Spring Festival, Wang Ying came to Phuket with her uncle. Yang Cheng was also traveling with her.
At this time, they were staying at a resort hotel, sitting together under an umbrella in front of the swimming pool to rest. The light raindrops fell on the ground, making a sound.
Listening to the sound of rain, Wang Ying suddenly turned to Yang Cheng who was playing on his mobile phone and said, "This is probably the most peaceful Valentine's Day you've ever had since high school, right?"
Yang Cheng put down his phone and said, "This is also the only Valentine's Day when I didn't receive chocolates and it rained."
Wang Ying smiled, picked up a chocolate on the table and threw it to him.
"I will be a good person now, so as not to leave any regrets in your dissolute life."
Yang Cheng picked up the chocolate, took a look at it, and said, "Thanks."
Seeing Yang Cheng eating the chocolate, a figure suddenly appeared in Wang Ying's mind, and it was very clear.
'Why am I thinking of him at this time, am I really?'
Yang Cheng ate the chocolate and suddenly asked: "How are you and that Zhou Chen doing?"
"ah?"
Wang Ying was shocked.
Yang Cheng said: "Is it necessary to be so surprised? I have long discovered that your relationship with that Zhou Chen is unusual. You are in a relationship, right? Why don't you make it public, for fear that your uncle and aunt will know?"
Wang Ying explained: "Zhou Chen and I are not in a relationship, we are just friends who get along well."
"Who can believe it? As far as I know, you have dated him several times. I know who your Miss Wang is. If you don't like him, how could you go out with him alone again and again?
.”
"I……"
Wang Ying was speechless because Yang Cheng was right. If she didn't have different feelings for Zhou Chen, how could she have gone out with Zhou Chen many times.
But she didn't lie. Although she and Zhou Chen had made some progress, there was still a long way to go before they could become boyfriend and girlfriend, at least that's what she thought.
"I do think Zhou Chen is different, but I'm different from you. I'm not as wild as you."
Yang Cheng said disdainfully: "You just think too much and worry too much. You have always been like this. We all know that in a family like ours, it is difficult for us to make the final decision on future matters. But falling in love is not getting married. You don't have to
I don’t think so much, just be happy.”
"That's why I said that I'm different from you. I have more to consider. What you don't care about, I care about."
"Then you should take your time and examine him. In fact, I also think that Zhou Chen is quite crazy, and he doesn't have the same approach as us."
"No way, Zhou Chen is not who you think he is. You are biased against him."
"You also said you don't like him. You used to be on my side, but now I just said something to him, and you are eager to defend him."
Wang Ying didn't know what to say, because she really defended Zhou Chen naturally, and what Yang Cheng said was right. In the past, even if Yang Cheng was wrong, she would stand by Yang Cheng, but
Now, it seems to be a little different.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked over holding an umbrella.
"Is this Miss Wang Ying?"
Wang Ying looked at the stranger in front of her in surprise, nodded and said: "I am Wang Ying, who are you?"
The visitor also had an Asian appearance and was less than thirty years old. When he heard Wang Ying admit her identity, he immediately smiled and handed a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates to Wang Ying.
"Hello, Miss Wang Ying, this is what Master Zhou Chen asked me to pass on to you. I wish you a happy Valentine's Day."
"Zhou Chen?"
Wang Ying stood up in shock and looked at the roses and chocolates in front of her.
"You said Zhou Chen gave this to me. How did he know I live here? Who are you and how did you find me?"
"I flew here from San Francisco at the request of Master Zhou Chen. Master Zhou Chen said that he was afraid of disturbing your vacation, so he didn't come in person. These gifts are specially sent to you. Please sign for them. I'd like to
Go back and reply to Master Zhou Chen."
Wang Ying saw another gift card and opened it. Sure enough, it was written to her by Zhou Chen, wishing her a happy Valentine's Day.
After confirming it, she signed for it, and the man bowed again, thanked him, and left.
Wang Ying hugged flowers and chocolates and did not come back to her senses.
After Yang Cheng watched the whole process, he couldn't help but say: "This guy Zhou Chen is okay. He is in the United States, and he actually sent someone to fly over to give you a gift. It seems that he is really special to you."
Wang Ying was also moved, but also a little awkward and disappointed.
Because she has always had different feelings for Yang Cheng, now Zhou Chen gave her roses and chocolates on Valentine's Day in front of Yang Cheng. As a result, Yang Cheng only sounded a little unhappy in his tone, but did not care about her.
Because of her relationship with Zhou Chen, she felt disappointed.
This shows that Yang Cheng's friendship with her is really just between friends, and he doesn't have the same affection as hers.
Today, Zhou Chen's gift from such a distance allowed her to see Zhou Chen's sincerity. Coupled with Yang Cheng's indifference, she was already shaken in her heart.
She came to the restaurant with Yang Cheng, and then she saw a middle-aged man walking in. This man was somewhat similar to her, and he was her uncle.
As soon as Uncle Wang came in, he saw the roses in front of Wang Ying and said in surprise: "Hey, Xiaoying, this rose was given to you by Yang Cheng?"
Yang Cheng said hurriedly: "Uncle Wang, this is not a gift from me. It is a gift from Wang Ying's suitor, and he is a suitor as far away as the United States."
"Oh? Are you a foreigner, Xiaoying? You also have an American suitor. How come I don't know about this?"
Although Uncle Wang is only Wang Ying's uncle, he actually spends a lot of time in contact with Wang Ying. Because Wang Ying's father works, he has not had much time to spend with her since she was a child. She usually goes to her uncle for anything, so between them
The relationship between them is very good.
Wang Ying explained: "I'm not a foreigner, uncle. He originally lived in the capital. He moved abroad a few years ago. He came to Beiqing as an exchange student at Stanford University after the summer last year. He grew up with a girl in our dormitory.
We got to know each other later.”
"That's right."
Uncle Wang asked with great interest: "He also came to Phuket?"
Yang Cheng said: "No, he is in San Francisco, but he specially sent someone to fly to Phuket to give Wang Ying a gift."
Uncle Wang was also surprised: "That's true, Xiaoying. From the look of you, you don't seem to hate him. Are you planning to fall in love with him?"
Wang Ying showed a rare hint of shyness: "Uncle, I'm not ready to fall in love with him yet. Don't talk nonsense. If my parents find out, they will definitely question me."
"Okay, I won't tell your parents, but tell me what he is like, what is his name, and what are his family conditions?"
Wang Ying said: "His name is Zhou Chen. He is a very nice person and a genius."
"Genius?" Uncle Wang was confused, what kind of evaluation is this?
But he didn't know that this was Wang Ying's personal experience. After spending so long with Zhou Chen, she felt that Zhou Chen was indeed a genius and he was not deliberately bragging.
