Zhou Chen drove Xiang Nanfang and rode for more than twenty minutes before arriving at his destination.
Looking at the cafe in front of him, which was obviously more unique than the surrounding shops, Xiang Nan looked surprised.
"When did this cafe open? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Zhou Chen replied: "It has only been open for a few months. I found it when I was passing by for school. The business was very good at the beginning. It was a novelty store after all, but now it is not as prosperous as it was at the beginning. I don't think it will be open for long."
It’s time.”
"Can you see this too?"
Xiang Nanfang's two beautiful big eyes stared at Zhou Chen. Isn't Zhou Chen a medical student? How come he knows so much about this kind of thing?
"When doing business, customer base is very important. This cafe is good, but the consumption is not low. There are not many people who can come here often. Most of them are young men and women. They don't care about spending when they pursue romance, but time
Once it gets longer, it won’t keep coming.”
Zhou Chen's explanation made Xiang Nanfang roll his eyes and asked: "What do you mean, you brought me here to pursue romance?"
"Ahem!"
Zhou Chen coughed twice in embarrassment, "Of course not, I just think this place is nice and suitable for talking about things. Don't get me wrong."
Xiang Nanfang asked again: "Do you always come to this kind of place to talk about things?"
Zhou Chen knew that he could no longer remain passive. If a woman wanted to entangle her, it was best to change the subject quickly, otherwise she would say the wrong thing sooner or later.
"Let's go in first."
With that said, he walked into the coffee shop first.
Xiang Nanfang smiled happily, didn't bother anymore, and happily followed Zhou Chen into the coffee shop.
Zhou Chen found a seat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks.
"How do you feel after attending college for half a year?" Zhou Chen took the initiative to ask Xiang Nanfang.
Xiang Nannan thought for a while and said: "There must be changes. Life in college is completely different from high school. The students have become more mature and the atmosphere is different."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That is the capital of our country, the most prosperous place."
"The capital is indeed much more prosperous than our Jinling. Why didn't you want to go to the capital in the first place? Otherwise, we could stay in the same city."
Xiang Nanfang felt a little regretful. She went to Capital University of the People's Republic of China, and with Zhou Chen's grades, she could have gotten into any university in the country. It was a pity that Zhou Chen chose a medical school that no one expected.
"The capital? I really don't want to go."
In the first few worlds, he stayed in the capital for many years, so in this world, he doesn't want to go to the capital to develop. It's good to stay in Jinling.
What's more, he still has to complete his mission and must stay in Jinling.
"University can be regarded as a small society. With your personality, you should get along well with your classmates, right?"
Xiang Nannan has a cheerful personality and makes friends easily, but he is also very strong. If he meets someone who is equally strong, he may not necessarily get along well with him.
Xiang Nanfang: "It's not bad. I made a lot of friends. The National People's Congress gathered top students from all over the country. When I got there, I realized how ordinary I was."
In Jinling, because her father was a big leader, she was always the center of attention, and there were always people fawning over her.
But when she arrived in the capital, the center of the country, although she was outstanding, she was definitely not the best. Fortunately, her mentality was very good and she was not disturbed.
Zhou Chen said: "You can't say that. You don't have to belittle yourself so much. You are not ordinary at all, you are very outstanding."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment."
Xiang Nanfang, who was praised by Zhou Chen, showed a happy smile.
"Although we have many outstanding students at China National University, I think they are still not as good as you. If you go to the capital, no matter which school you go to, you will definitely become the most dazzling one."
After living in the capital for nearly half a year, she had met many outstanding male classmates, but she felt that those male classmates were far inferior to Zhou Chen in every aspect.
In her opinion, an outstanding man like Zhou Chen should go to the capital to make a living, but Zhou Chen only wanted to stay in Jinling, which made her not very convinced.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and did not answer. He has experienced so many worlds and has lived for more than a hundred years. If he can't compare with a group of boys in their teens and 20s, then his life has been a failure.
.
"Everyone has different ideas. I just want to study medicine well and be with my family. I don't want to leave my hometown and pursue my so-called lofty ideals."
Xiang Nannan rolled his eyes and said: "What you said, people who don't know would think that you are middle-aged. In this life, shouldn't you do more things, go out more and make more contributions to socialism?"
Do you want to make a contribution?"
"So enlightened."
Giving a thumbs up to Xiang Nannan, Zhou Chen praised: "What the country needs most is a responsible person like you. I can't do it. I'm too lazy. I can only contribute to the country in other ways."
"Obvious."
Xiang Nanfang snorted coldly, and then coffee and snacks were served.
Zhou Chen took the initiative and asked: "Would you like some milk or sugar?"
"Actually, I don't drink much coffee. You can help me mix it."
"Okay, then I will sweeten it for you. Girls probably like sweet things. There is also this snack. You can also eat more, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight."
Zhou Chen helped Xiang Nanfang make coffee while pushing snacks in front of her.
Xiang Nanfang was not polite either. She enjoyed Zhou Chen helping her like this.
"You are so considerate, you should already have a girlfriend, right?"
Zhou Chen laughed: "What kind of girlfriend are you looking for? Isn't it good to study medicine? I want to respond to the country's call to marry later and have children later, and I will never get married before I reach my age."
"Just blow it."
Xiang Nanfang didn't believe what Zhou Chen said at all, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he asked: "Last time you said in your letter that you wanted me to help you with something. What was it about?"
Zhou Chen said: "Nanfang, we have known each other for many years. If I have anything to say, I will just say it directly."
"Of course I'll be honest. Do you still want to play riddles with me?"
"That's not true, it's because this matter is more troublesome and you may need your father's help."
"Please ask my father for help?"
Xiang Nannan stopped eating the snack and looked at Zhou Chen in shock.
Growing up in a cadre family, she saw too many people who wanted to ask her father for help, and there were also various people who wanted to gain connections with her family.
But she felt that Zhou Chen should not belong to this type of person.
Feeling a little disappointed, she asked: "Is it because of this that you asked me out?"
Zhou Chen heard something wrong from Xiang Nanfang's tone. He looked directly at Xiang Nanfang and said softly: "No, calling you out is the real thing. Asking your father for help is just a side note. Let's put it this way, it doesn't actually matter.
It’s not that you have to ask your father for help, but…”
Before Zhou Chen could finish speaking, Xiang Nanfang interrupted: "I understand, please tell me, what's the matter?"
She was really curious about what happened to Zhou Chen and wanted to trouble her father, because a smart person like Zhou Chen must have understood that after saying these words, it would probably affect their relationship.
But he still said it, which means there are only two possibilities. One is that Zhou Chen really uses her as a springboard and wants to get to know her father, and his contact with her is just utilitarian.
The other is that Zhou Chen felt that even if he said such words, it would not affect their relationship, so he said it openly.
She must have preferred the latter option, so she asked directly.
"It's not my business, it's my parents'. The textile factory where they work is about to run out of business, so I want to help them acquire the textile factory where they work."
Xiang Nanfang listened very carefully. When she heard the first half of the sentence, she thought Zhou Chen wanted to use her father to help her parents find a job, but when she heard the second sentence, she was dumbfounded.
"The textile factory being acquired is the state-owned textile factory?"
Xiang Nanfang is not a novice who doesn't understand anything, so he was shocked.
As far as she knew, the textile factory was quite large, and she also knew that Zhou Chen's family was an ordinary working-class family.
Now Zhou Chen actually said that he wants to acquire a textile factory. Are you sure this is not a joke?
"Yes, it's that state-owned textile factory. My parents haven't reached the age of retirement yet, so I want to give them the whole career. They have been working in the textile factory for so many years and have feelings for it. They can't bear it to close down, so I
I want to help them acquire the textile factory and hand it over to them to manage."
"Zhou Chen, do you know how much that state-owned textile factory is worth? Even if your family is rich, it is a state-owned factory. Do you think it will be sold to private individuals?"
Even though he knew Zhou Chen was very powerful, Xiang Nanfang still thought Zhou Chen was too whimsical when he heard that Zhou Chen wanted to acquire a textile factory.
