Chapter 1501: Meeting by chance at a restaurant and traveling together
"I heard from my colleagues that the food in this restaurant is good."
Huang Yimei pulled Zhou Chen into the restaurant. She actually didn't know much about this restaurant. She just heard her colleagues mention it when she was working. She and Zhou Chen happened to have dinner, so she stopped by this restaurant.
Zhou Chen naturally has no objection. For him, it doesn't matter where he eats it, as long as Huang Yimei likes it.
"Why aren't you busy today? Weren't you busy socializing the past few days?"
Ever since Peng Fei and Lin Xi went on their honeymoon, Zhou Chen had to manage the company. There were banquets and banquets, which was naturally difficult to avoid, so he and Huang Yimei had not had a good meal together for a few days.
"I can't be too busy every day and have no time to spend with my girlfriend. Don't worry, I can handle the company's affairs. In a few days, Peng Fei will be back and I will be free."
In fact, he handles the company's affairs during the day. Given his ability, it's not too hard, but he can't refuse many dinner parties at night.
This is the situation in China. Many cooperation negotiations start at the wine table. It has been a tradition since ancient times that people who can make a lot of money without eating or drinking are rare.
Huang Yimei laughed: "People who don't know, think that Peng Fei is the big boss of Chenxing Capital."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "He is also the shareholder and boss of the company. What's more, he likes to manage the company. I like to be free and do what we like. This is called tacit understanding."
Huang Yimei has always found it very interesting. She originally thought that Zhou Chen must be a workaholic to open the company so big, but in fact, Zhou Chen is completely different from the workaholic and domineering president she imagined. He is more like a workaholic.
Lazy master, 'retired veteran cadre'.
But she thinks this is good. When Zhou Chen is free, he can spend more time with her. This is the happiest thing for her who is passionately in love.
While the two were talking, a man and a woman suddenly walked by. The woman among them expressed surprise when she saw Huang Yimei.
"Huang Yimei?"
"Han parrot."
Huang Yimei looked up and was very surprised to see Han Ying on the aisle next to her, and then saw Zhuang Guodong next to Han Ying.
"Mr. Zhuang."
Han Ying said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I just saw you and your boyfriend at the entrance of the company. I didn't expect that just a while later, we actually met again."
As she said that, her eyes unconsciously fell on Zhou Chen, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She had not seen Zhou Chen's appearance clearly at the entrance of the company before, but now that she had seen him up close, she found that Zhou Chen was as handsome as Zhuang Guodong, and he seemed to have more temperament, like a noble son.
"Huang Yimei, is this your boyfriend?"
Huang Yimei immediately introduced: "Yes, yes, he is my boyfriend, Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, this is a colleague of my company, Han Ying, we are in the same project team now, she takes good care of me."
Zhou Chen stood up and gently shook hands with Han Ying: "Hello, Miss Han."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Then Huang Yimei introduced Zhuang Guodong.
"This is Zhuang Guodong. He is now a partner with our company and is also the main person in charge of our project. Mr. Zhuang helped with Mr. Teng's previous matter."
After hearing Huang Yimei's introduction, Zhou Chen suddenly understood. He didn't expect to see Zhuang Guodong in this place.
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang."
"Hello."
Zhuang Guodong has also been sizing up Zhou Chen. In fact, he was attracted to Huang Yimei when he saw Huang Yimei at the banquet at the Huaxia Hotel that day, so he helped her find Mr. Teng. Later, he took the initiative to be in charge of the Sino-French exchange season.
The purpose of the cooperation project is to have a chance to get along with Huang Yimei.
It's just that he is a thoughtful person, and he has never taken the initiative or refused in matters between men and women.
Even though he is interested in Huang Yimei, he has been holding back and not showing it. Instead, he took the initiative to ask for Huang Yimei's phone number today after two project meetings.
But who would have thought that as soon as he took the initiative, he would be greeted by a nightmare blow.
Huang Yimei actually has a boyfriend.
Now standing in front of Zhou Chen, he really has mixed feelings in his heart. Although he is romantic, he is not particularly familiar with Huang Yimei after all, so even if he is attracted to Huang Yimei, he will not make a move to win over her love.
Do things.
So although he felt awkward, he still maintained his demeanor and greeted Zhou Chen with a smile.
Zhou Chen asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang and Miss Han are here to have dinner, too. If you don't mind, we can come together. It's just a way of thanking Mr. Zhuang for the help he gave Rose."
Huang Yimei also agreed: "Han Ying, Mr. Zhuang, if you don't mind, let's come together."
Han Ying hesitated slightly: "Isn't this bad?"
Zhuang Guodong refused directly and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhou and Miss Huang for the invitation, but we have already decided on the location, so we won't disturb you two. Han Ying, let's go over there."
"Okay, okay."
Of course Han Ying agreed. She was more willing to be alone with Zhuang Guodong than eating with Zhou Chen and the others. After all, she had different thoughts about Zhuang Guodong. It was easier for the two of them to be alone together.
"Then I won't bother you anymore."
After Zhuang Guodong and Han Ying left, Zhou Chen and Huang Yimei sat down again.
Although Huang Yimei was involved with Zhuang Guodong in the plot, Zhou Chen's appearance has changed everything, and now he is with Huang Yimei.
Huang Yimei may have some problems, but he believed that Huang Yimei would never be the kind of woman who would change her mind when she saw something different, so he was a little surprised by Zhuang Guodong's appearance and didn't take it to heart.
If he didn't have even this little bit of confidence, then his travels through dozens of film and television worlds would have been in vain.
Huang Yimei also didn't take it to heart. Although Zhuang Guodong expressed some thoughts today, she quickly killed him, so she didn't take it seriously at all and felt no guilt.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Chen took Huang Yimei to the shopping mall for a walk. After ten o'clock, he sent Huang Yimei home.
For many days, Zhou Chen was busy with work. It was not until Peng Fei and Lin Xi came back from their honeymoon that he was relieved of his heavy responsibilities and returned to his leisurely days happily.
Living longer has its advantages and disadvantages.
And Zhou Chen's fighting spirit is extremely lacking now, especially in this ordinary urban world. If he has no money and no power, he will definitely struggle, but once he gets what he wants, it will be difficult for him to continue fighting.
I just want to retire and live a comfortable life.
What do people strive for?
Not just to have a sense of accomplishment and enjoy happiness, Zhou Chen feels that in this ordinary urban world, his current living situation is to enjoy happiness.
If you have enough money, a certain amount of connections and power, and as long as you don't commit suicide, you will definitely live a very comfortable life.
Like in the last world of Qing Yu Nian, it was almost impossible for him to risk his life to fight for the realm of a great master in the urban world.
As for the sense of achievement, in this ordinary urban world, not to mention, there are not many things that can make him achieve success, and even if there are, most of them cannot be done.
When he is no longer busy with work, Zhou Chen naturally has more time to accompany Huang Yimei.
"This painting is good. It is a famous British painter..."
On this day, Zhou Chen and Huang Yimei came to an art exhibition together. Both of them are good at painting. Watching the exhibition together, naturally they had many topics to talk about.
Although Zhou Chen can be regarded as a master of painting, he is more proficient in Chinese painting, good at realism and expressionism. He is not actually proficient in foreign abstract paintings. On the contrary, Huang Yimei studied more modern paintings in university.
As for painting, I prefer abstraction.
After going around, Huang Yimei said with unfinished content: "Although there are many famous paintings here, I think that if your paintings were exhibited, they would definitely be more lively than this exhibition."
She had seen the paintings painted by Zhou Chen and was astonished at the time, especially the figure paintings and landscape paintings. She had never seen such good paintings, they were so real and beautiful.
Zhou Chen laughed and said: "I paint just for my own entertainment and to record some people and things that are important to me. I really haven't thought about doing an exhibition."
He learned painting from Li Muzi, and later studied it on his own for many years, but he basically never thought about using his painting skills to make money, because he never lacked ways to make money.
Moreover, he paints only for himself, which is what he calls commemoration, rather than to be exhibited for others to see.
"My parents asked us to go back for dinner tonight."
"Okay, I'm fine."
"Then I'll call back now and let them prepare."
"No need to bother, just eat whatever you want."
…………
In the kitchen, Wu Yuejiang was cooking, while Huang Yimei stood aside, watching what was going on in the study while eating secretly.
Listening to the arguing coming from the study, Huang Yimei looked worried.
"Mom, don't you really need me to go over and try to persuade you? Are they having an academic discussion or quarreling? It feels like my dad is getting red-faced from the argument."
To be continued...
