Jing Xiu smoothly took a bottle and handed it to Zhou Chen: "No money, I'll pay."
"You are really good at business."
Zhou Chen smiled and said sarcastically, and then started drinking.
Turning his eyes, he saw Li Li Zheng on the second floor of Zhizhen Garden, with his arms crossed and looking down at him.
With a slight smile, Zhou Chen raised the soda bottle in his hand, gestured to Li Li, drank it in one gulp, and handed the bottle to Jing Xiu.
"gone."
"Mr. Zhou, please walk slowly."
Instead of going directly to Jin Meilin, he walked into the gate of Zhizhen Garden, which actually made Lu Meilin on the opposite side frown.
"Mrs. Boss, Mr. Zhou went to Zhizhenyuan, do we still want to keep our private room for him?"
Lu Meilin turned her head suddenly and shouted with a ferocious expression: "What are you farting on? Who is Mr. Zhou? He said he would come over later and he will definitely come over. When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things? Go and do things."
."
She has also been in contact with Zhou Chen many times, and knows that Zhou Chen is a proud man. He just said in front of so many people that he would come to Jin Meilin, so he would definitely not break his promise. If he didn't have such eyesight, how could he be on the Yellow River Road?
mix.
"Let the kitchen be ready. Mr. Zhou will come to order later. Cook it for him as soon as possible."
"Okay, boss lady."
As soon as Zhou Chen walked into Zhizhen Garden, Li Li brought Manager Pan to greet him.
"Mr. Zhou doesn't come to Huanghe Road for several months. Whenever he comes to Huanghe Road, he has to go to Jin Meilin to eat. It seems that my Zhizhen Garden is still not as good as Jin Meilin in Mr. Zhou's eyes?"
Looking at Li Li with a smile on his face and an angry tone, Zhou Chen smiled slightly.
"I can't help it. Lu Meilin always yells a lot every time I come to Huanghe Road. I'll give her some face today. Just because I go to Jin Meilin for dinner doesn't mean I can't come to Zhenyuan. Why, the boss lady doesn't want to entertain me?"
"How dare Li Li? Mr. Zhou please come up to the second floor and we can sit and chat."
"good."
Li Li took Zhou Chen to Man Tingfang's private room.
"what do you want to eat?"
"We're going to Jin Meilin to eat later, so let's serve some fish soup to warm our stomach."
"Okay, I'll have someone do it for you."
Li Li asked a waiter to do it, and she sat down next to Zhou Chen.
"You've been out for a few months, have things been settled?"
"That's almost it. I heard Sister Meizi say, have you ever looked for me?"
"Well, didn't you say that you can't always drink, but I don't know how to make tea myself, so I just wanted to go to your place to get some, but it's a pity that you didn't come back."
"Now that I'm back, if I want to go now, I can go at any time."
Listening to Zhou Chen's words, Li Li Zhanyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bother you when I have time."
Zhou Chen took out a jewelry box and pushed it to Li Li.
"I went to the north, where diamonds are abundant. One of my partners happened to be short of money, so he used diamonds to pay for it. I picked a piece for you and had someone process it. Take a look and see if you like it. If you're not satisfied,
, I will ask someone to adjust it."
"Did you bring me a gift?"
Li Li was indeed very surprised. She had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, but not enough for Zhou Chen to remember to bring a gift, let alone a precious diamond.
She opened the jewelry box curiously, and then saw the huge red diamond necklace inside.
The diamond is as bright as blood and looks very gorgeous.
At just one glance, she fell in love with this diamond necklace. It was so beautiful.
But she quickly calmed down.
"It's too precious, I can't keep it."
Zhou Chen said: "I brought it specifically for you. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to give it to others. With such a good diamond necklace, you wouldn't want me to just throw it around the corner to gather dust, right?"
Li Li looked troubled. She was actually not the kind of person who cared too much about unexpected things. Although this red diamond necklace was very beautiful, she really didn't know whether she should accept such an expensive gift from Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen saw her confusion and said again: "Take it, this is my intention, no matter how precious it is, it is not as important as your intention, right? If people knew that I, Mr. Zhou, would not even be able to give gifts
Wouldn't it be too shameful to go out? We have known each other for so long, why do you have to give me this face?"
Li Li smiled helplessly, closed the jewelry box, and thanked: "In that case, I will be disrespectful."
"This is the Li Li I know. He is not sloppy."
Zhou Chen praised him and started chatting with Li Li again.
After a while, the waiter came up with fish soup. Zhou Chen served a bowl for himself and another bowl for Li Li.
Li Li smiled slightly, accepted Zhou Chen's kindness, and drank fish soup with Zhou Chen.
At five o'clock on the Yellow River Road, the sky was slightly dark, and the Yellow River Road was even more lively. The lights were brightly lit, just like daytime. There were countless people coming and going, with greetings and shouts coming and going.
Zhou Chen walked out of Zhizhen Garden, took steps towards Jin Meilin opposite.
Lu Meilin, who had been staring at the gate of Zhizhen Garden, was overjoyed when she saw Zhou Chen approaching, and went to greet him from afar.
"Mr. Zhou, you are here. Please come in quickly. The private room has been prepared for you."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Thank you very much, boss lady."
"It should, it should."
Lu Meilin's attitude was very humble. Although Zhou Chen rarely came to Huanghe Road now, his reputation was there. Others wanted to invite Zhou Chen to dinner, but Zhou Chen never paid attention. Jin Meilin came to eat with her this time.
, which made her feel very proud, and her steps became lighter.
Zhou Chen followed Lu Meilin into Jin Meilin, looked at the lively Jin Meilin, and said with a smile: "What a good day it is today, it's so lively, and there are people queuing up."
Lu Meilin said with a flattering smile: "No matter what day it is, when Mr. Zhou comes, it is the best day. I, Jin Meilin, can be as lively as I am today, all because of Mr. Zhou's support."
"The boss lady was joking. Jin Meilin is where he is today because of the boss lady's ability. I only played a small role."
Just as he was going to the private room, Jin Meilin's boss Jin came over. When he saw Zhou Chen, he even looked more flattering.
"Mr. Zhou, your arrival has really made our Jin Meilin Pengpi shine. Please come quickly, please come quickly."
Boss Jin is a gambler, and everyone knows that Zhou Chen made his fortune from stocks, so he has always wanted to find opportunities to communicate with Zhou Chen more, but he has never had the opportunity before.
Zhou Chen had also stayed with Jin Meilin before, so he naturally knew what kind of person Boss Jin was. He could deal with Lu Meilin, but he was not even in the mood to deal with Boss Jin, and just responded lightly.
Lu Meilin also looked down on her man and knew what Boss Jin was thinking, so she didn't want Boss Jin to pester Zhou Chen, so she immediately pushed him aside and led Zhou Chen into the private room.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Just serve the dishes at the low price in the private room, and grab a bottle of Maotai by the way."
"No problem, just wait and it will be delivered soon."
After the waiter left, Lu Meilin asked Zhou Chen with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you haven't been to Huanghe Road in the past few months. We all thought you would never come back."
Zhou Chen said: "I just heard Jing Xiu say that everyone on the Yellow River Road knows that I went to Hong Kong, but the boss lady doesn't know?"
"I have heard people say it, but I generally don't believe what others say. I heard someone say before that Mr. Zhou intends to hold the third venture capital meeting, don't you know?"
"Who did you listen to?"
Zhou Chen had never had this idea at all. He knew that Lu Meilin was testing him. Sure enough, Lu Meilin called him to come to dinner not just for the sake of eating, but also for her own purpose.
"I haven't heard of it, it's just rumors from outside. I'll just say that if Mr. Zhou wants to do it, he will definitely do it with great fanfare. Rumors won't spread before it starts."
Lu Meilin laughed. In the past six months or so, Jin Meilin's business has been better than in previous years, but the emergence of Zhizhenyuan has taken away a lot of business on the Yellow River Road, and Jin Meilin has also been greatly affected.
They had dealt with Li Li, but because of Zhou Chen, they didn't succeed. They didn't dare to make any more moves, so they could only think of ways to compete fairly with Zhi Zhen Yuan.
But the weakness of the hardware conditions was there. If she didn't think of other methods, she would not be able to defeat Zhizhenyuan, so her idea was directed to Zhou Chen.
"I don't have this idea yet. If I do, I will definitely inform the landlady."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou. I have to go out to entertain guests, so I won't disturb Mr. Zhou's meal."
