Zhou Chen still underestimated Huo Ran's face. This guy refused to leave. He waited until dinner was over before leaving reluctantly.
As soon as Huo Ran left, Shen Man came to Zhou Chen aggressively.
"He Fei, what does that friend of yours mean?"
Zhou Chen said in shock: "He is looking for you?"
Shen Man said angrily: "He asked me for Wei Xin. He also said that he has been in Magic City for many years. If I want to go shopping, he can be my guide. Is he okay? What good thing do you want? Did you instigate him? of?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Is this the image I have in your eyes? To tell you the truth, he did have ideas for you and asked me to help introduce you, but I said he had no chance and refused him. I didn't expect that. He actually didn't give up and even asked you for Wei Xin privately. I really didn't know about it."
Li Muzi couldn't help laughing: "Manman, this shows that you are very charming. It just so happens that I can't go out with you. How about you go out with Huo Ran and get to know each other?"
"Impossible, he has a beautiful idea."
Shen Man jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Zhou Chen: "He is my friend after all. It's not good for you to belittle him like that in front of me."
Shen Man looked disdainful: "Return a friend? Do you think I can't tell? You treated him very perfunctorily. Real friends are not like this. I think they are more like fair-weather friends."
Li Muzi did not have as strong an observation eye as Shen Man, and he was afraid that Zhou Chen would mind, so he hurriedly said: "Manman, don't talk nonsense. He Fei and Huo Ran have known each other for several years and have a good relationship."
"He knows whether it's good or not." Shen Man was very sure of his judgment.
Zhou Chen sighed, Shen Man deserves to be a director, and his ability to observe people's emotions is quite good.
"Well, what you said is not wrong. My relationship with Huo Ran is indeed not that good. At least it is far worse than the relationship between Muzi and you. But what Muzi said is not wrong. After all, we have been friends for several years. On the surface, We still have to maintain it well.”
Shen Man proudly said to Li Muzi: "Muzi, did you hear that? What I said is right. Good friends and besties like us are unique in the world."
Li Muzi nodded in agreement.
Zhou Chen sighed in his heart. These two women had full confidence in their friendship, but what they said was reasonable. It was a bit exaggerated to be unique, but it was true that it was rare in the world.
Shen Man said: "I advise you to have less contact with that Huo Ran in the future, he doesn't look like a good person."
She also knew that when she finished speaking, she would not mention Huo Ran again.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen drove the car for maintenance and inspection, then drove it back and tinkered with it in the garage.
Another day later, Huo Ran came to drive. This time he drove a luxury car. He didn't bother to eat anymore and drove away directly in the big G.
Zhou Chen watched Huo Ran leave. This time, they would probably never see each other again.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, the community is obviously a lot more lively, and it is also a lot more lively outside.
Because Li Muzi cannot leave home during confinement, Zhou Chen goes out to buy everything he needs. Now he is mainly responsible for the outside.
Muzi Li couldn't leave home, and he couldn't take care of things in the group, so it was time for Zhou Chen to take action, and he would attend the year-end conference on behalf of Muzi Li.
Zhou Chen has been an acquaintance in the company for a long time, and the group's senior management also knows about Li Muzi's situation. Naturally, there will be no objection to Zhou Chen coming to attend the year-end meeting.
During the meeting, Zhou Chen did not speak. He kept observing and found many problems, but they were not major problems.
It has to be said that Li Muzi has absolute equity in his hands and has hired an outstanding professional manager. Although Xingchuan Group is not as brilliant as when Li Muzi's parents took control, it has stabilized the situation, so as long as Li Muzi does not have any problems, everything will be fine.
With stable development, Xingchuan Group will not suffer much shock.
Zhou Chen also learned about the history of Xingchuan Group. In fact, Li Muzi's parents were not originally the largest shareholders of the group, but they relied on their own abilities to slowly grow in size, and eventually founded Xingchuan Group and developed it to its current scale.
Therefore, there are many old people in Xingchuan Group who are looking towards Li Muzi as the heir. Although the company was in turmoil for a long time when Li Muzi's parents just passed away, it eventually stabilized.
Although there are various problems within the company and there is no harmony among the top management, this is not a bad thing for Muzi Li.
After Zhou Chen finished the meeting and determined that there were no major problems with Xingchuan Group's accounts, he gave a few instructions to the current general manager and then left.
Xingchuan Group is the foundation and guarantee of Li Muzi's life. As long as there are no problems, he is too lazy to take care of it. But if someone wants to cause trouble and target Li Muzi, he will definitely not stand idly by and let them see what cruelty means.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Zhou Chen bought a lot of New Year's goods. Although there are not many people celebrating the New Year together, there must be a Chinese New Year atmosphere in his own home.
Auntie Chen, the nanny, went on vacation on the 27th of the Lunar New Year. As for the confinement nanny, because she is a local, she went home on the 30th and 1st of the Lunar New Year, and continued to work on the 2nd of the Lunar New Year.
New Year's Eve!
Just as Zhou Chen and the others were walking their children after lunch, the police suddenly came to the door.
Zhou Chen opened the door and saw two policemen in police uniforms, and he immediately made a guess.
"What are you doing?"
"Hello, sir, is this Ms. Li Muzi's home?" one of the policemen asked.
Zhou Chen replied: "Yes, I am Li Muzi's lover. Hello, two comrades, what do you want from my wife?"
"There was a car accident on the highway not long ago. One of the cars was traveling too fast and rolled over, causing a collision with multiple vehicles. One person died and several others were injured. According to our investigation, the vehicle that caused the car accident, It is a Mercedes-Benz car owned by Ms. Li Muzi, so we came to conduct an investigation and visit."
Hearing this, the actor Zhou Chen got up and looked shocked: "What? Comrade police, what is going on? My wife is still at home confinement, it is impossible to get on the highway, and the cars in her name are also at home. without……"
Suddenly he paused, and then he was even more shocked: "Is it the 736?"
When the two policemen heard Zhou Chen's words, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at each other.
"Mr. Zhou, we still have something to ask Ms. Li. I wonder if you can let us in?"
"Of course, please come in, please come in."
Zhou Chen led the two police comrades into the house. At this time, Shen Man was holding the child in the living room and coaxing him, while Li Muzi was resting on the sofa covered with a quilt.
When they saw Zhou Chen actually coming in with two policemen, their expressions changed.
Shen Man asked strangely: "He Fei, what's going on? Why did the police come to the door at this time?"
Zhou Chen said: "It should be that the car I lent to Huo Ran was involved in a car accident. These two police comrades are here to investigate and inquire."
"There was a car accident?"
When Shen Man and Li Muzi heard this, they were both stunned. Of course they knew about borrowing the car, but it had been several days, so why did something suddenly happen?
Zhou Chen pointed at Li Muzi and said to them: "Two comrades, this is my wife, Li Muzi."
Li Muzi was about to stand up, and the two policemen said hurriedly: "Ms. Li, you don't have to get up, we can still ask questions like this."
They also just learned from Zhou Chen that Li Muzi was in confinement, and given Li Muzi's family conditions, they were very polite.
Li Muzi looked confused: "Comrade police, what happened?"
The two police officers confirmed Li Muzi's identity and then explained the situation.
According to the highway surveillance, the big G they borrowed was driving on the highway at a speed of more than 120 yards. For some reason, it suddenly lost control and rolled over. It rolled far and hit several cars. , there was a series of car accidents.
The people in the other cars were fine, and the most serious ones were seriously injured, but the driver of the big G car died on the spot, and the car was also broken into pieces, with parts scattered everywhere along the way.
Because of Li Muzi's current situation, the police did not elaborate on the situation at the scene. They only focused on asking why someone else was driving Li Muzi's car.
Zhou Chen replaced Li Muzi and told why he lent the car to Huo Ran in the first place. Shen Man and Li Muzi both testified on the spot.
After asking about the situation, the two police comrades did not stay any longer. Instead, they comforted Zhou Chen and others and told them not to be too sad. At the same time, they also said that someone might come to ask about the situation in the future, as long as they explained the situation truthfully.
After the police left, Li Muzi and Shen Man looked at each other, and Zhou Chen pretended to have the same shocked expression.
After handing Miaomiao to Yuesao, Zhou Chen and the other three sat in the living room. Shen Man couldn't help but said first, "He Fei, is that friend of yours really dead?"
"Didn't the police just say that he was dead? If I had known, I wouldn't have lent him the car."
Zhou Chen looked sad: "If I didn't lend him the car, he might not have suffered this disaster. It's all my fault."
Li Muzi held Zhou Chen's hand and comforted him softly: "Husband, this has nothing to do with you. We lent him the car out of kindness. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen."
Shen Man sighed: "Although I don't like Huo Ran very much, he died just a few days ago. But the police just said that he was speeding. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's really not right for me at all." Responsible. ”
Suddenly, she thought of something again, and asked Zhou Chen nervously: "He Fei, the car he drove was in Muzi's name. If such a car accident happened, would it have any impact on Muzi?"
Zhou Chen sighed: "The trouble should be inevitable, after all, it is our car, but the problem should not be big. At most, we will lose some money. It is the Chinese New Year soon, so it is really uncomfortable for something like this to happen."
"If you just lose money, it's nothing."
Li Muzi is also a kind-hearted person. Although Huo Ran was most responsible for the car accident and she lost a car, she never complained.
Li Muzi didn't want to talk about these unhappy things and asked Shen Man to help her back to the room.
Zhou Chen walked to the lawn outside and looked into the distance silently. Huo Ran's death was caused by him, but he had long been used to killing people.
Huo Ran's death was a self-inflicted death. As long as he didn't threaten him or go too far, Zhou Chen would not kill him.
It's a pity that Huo Ran is too greedy. Not only is he greedy, he is also very shameless. If this kind of person is not completely dealt with, he will definitely be in trouble in the future.
He didn't like trouble, and he didn't want Huo Ran to ruin the relationship between him and Li Muzi and affect his mission, so she could only send Huo Ran to hell.
"Don't blame me, everything is your own choice."
Zhou Chen's expression was cold. Although modern society cannot kill without guilt like ancient society, it can still achieve its goal as long as a method can be found.
After solving Huo Ran's problem, he felt much more relaxed. He didn't really want to kill people in the urban world, but sometimes the easiest way to solve the problem was to make people disappear, so he had no choice.
Regarding Huo Ran's matter, Zhou Chen and the others did not mention it again. Instead, the insurance company called Li Muzi, but Li Muzi directly asked the company assistant to handle it.
During the Spring Festival of 2021, Zhou Chen's family of three and Shen Man, a total of four people, spent the Spring Festival in the villa.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Shen Man specially clinked glasses with Zhou Chen and drank some wine.
The three of them held their children and watched the Spring Festival Gala together, celebrating the New Year together and welcoming the New Year.
"Happy New Year!"
"New Year is coming soon, little Miaomiao."
"Happy New Year!"
New Year and new atmosphere. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family put on new clothes. Even Xiao Miaomiao put on a brand new red cotton-padded jacket, which was very festive.
After the Spring Festival, it has been a month since Shen Man returned to China, but she is not in a hurry to leave. In her words, she has been busy in the past few years and rarely has time to stop and rest. Naturally, she has to take a good rest and relax. Enjoy it.
For several days, Zhou Chen saw Shen Man typing while holding a computer.
So he curiously asked Li Muzi: "Honey, is Shen Man writing a script these days? I think she is so serious."
Li Muzi nodded and said: "Yes, she is writing a script. She said that she is very happy these days and inspiration suddenly comes to her. She is going to write a good script and shoot her first movie when she is capable in the future."
While talking, Shen Man ran over with the computer in his arms.
"Muzi, I originally wanted to write a heart-warming love drama based on the love between you and He Fei, but as I was writing it, I felt something wasn't right. I felt that this kind of script might not be very popular in the market now, so I thought After thinking about it, I’m going to change my mind.”
Li Muzi asked: "What other ideas?"
Shen Mandao: "It's still an idea. It's not easy to write a simple love drama, so I'm going to change it to one with a bit of suspense. It happened that I saw a case of killing my wife some time ago, so I was wondering if I could learn from it. "
Zhou Chen, who was drinking water, choked up when he heard Shen Man's words. He kept coughing and looked at Shen Man with disbelief.
