2003 is a rather special year, because in this year, many major world events will occur.
Zhou Chen, who is already well aware of all this, naturally has his own plans and plans to expand his business territory by relying on some opportunities.
Therefore, he delayed his return to China again this time.
After Wang Ying learned about it, although she felt disappointed, she could understand that Zhou Chen couldn't help himself. After all, as the big boss, Zhou Chen had to personally intervene in many matters. After all, it was not as timely to handle matters domestically as to handle them personally abroad.
As for the school, there will be no pressure on Zhou Chen at all. Not to mention his grades, Zhou Chen has also brought a lot of benefits to the school. Even if Zhou Chen does not come back to class, the school will not embarrass him.
Qin Chuan was very disappointed to learn that Zhou Chen didn't know when he would come back.
He asked Wang Ying: "If he doesn't come back, what will happen to our branch?"
Wang Ying looked indifferent: "Didn't I ask my uncle to find a store? Whether he comes back or not will not affect the branch. You can start planning to decorate."
"That's good."
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Zhou Chen would not come back, which would cause problems in their new store. Fortunately, Wang Ying helped.
"Wang Ying, it's you who can do it. Zhou Chen can make money, but I don't think your courage is much worse than him."
Wang Ying retorted angrily: "Forget it, he is talking about a big business worth millions or tens of millions. Your pancake stall is a small business worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. How dare you still be so bold?
"
Qin Chuan was unhappy: "Wang Ying, don't look down on our pancake business. When you started it, you didn't think we could open a store, but now we have opened one. With this one, we can
If we can have a second one, we can't compare to Zhou Chen right now. If we can, we won't know for sure. Let's just wait and see."
"Don't just sit and watch. Even if you stand, lie down, or squat, it's just a pancake shop. The first store hasn't even opened yet, so you're just thinking about the second and third ones.
Well, I advise you not to be too ambitious."
Although the pancake stall is indeed making money now, she still doesn't think their pancake shop will have much development prospects in the future. It's not that she looks down on people.
The main reason is that this pancake business really has no technical content, and the profits are visible. The most important thing is that it is difficult to increase the volume.
Maybe the store can make money once it is opened, but in her opinion, it is impossible to make big money.
"Hey, hey, Wang Ying, I discovered it. You have been with Zhou Chen for a long time, and you have even learned his venomous tongue. Although you were cold and cold before, you were not so poor."
"Am I poor?"
"Poor, he is just like Zhou Chen."
"Yeah?"
Wang Ying has a little self-doubt. Is she really moving closer to Zhou Chen?
Qin Chuan said: "I won't talk to you about all this. Now that the store has been found, let's start decorating it and try to open the store as soon as possible."
"You are so far away in Shunyi, how can you have time to stare at the decoration every day?"
"Just find someone to pretend. Besides, I'll come over on Friday, have two days on the weekend, and go back on Monday. Anyway, I have a car, so I can come over quickly if something urgent happens."
Qin Chuan is full of enthusiasm for the pancake store. He can afford a car and live a better life than before, but he relies on these pancakes, so he must make it good.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. If I have time, I can keep an eye on it."
Wang Ying didn't bother to bother. Zhou Chen was away and she still had a lot of free time. It wouldn't be a problem to spare some study time.
It was March, and Qinchuan's pancake store had been renovated for almost a month. He would go there on time every week to keep an eye on it, and the progress was very good.
Wang Ying, on the other hand, studies in class every day, and also takes some time every week to go to the pancake store to check it out. She says she is not optimistic about it, but she is a standard soft-spoken person and will go check it out when she has time.
That night, Wang Ying was sitting at the table and reading a book seriously when her cell phone rang suddenly. After a while, she suddenly let out a shout of surprise.
Xu Linshu, who was reading a comic book, was so frightened by this sudden voice that he couldn't hold it and dropped it. Xiao Qianxi and Xie Qiao were also frightened.
Xu Lin shouted dissatisfied: "Miss, what are you doing? You startle me."
Wang Ying hung up the phone happily and said happily: "Zhou Chen is ready to board the plane. He will land before noon tomorrow. Xu Lin, I won't go to class tomorrow. If the teacher calls for roll call, please help me."
Click here."
"Miss, isn't it because Zhou Chen is coming back? I see how excited you are. Are you unable to live without him, or what?"
"Just go away. We haven't seen each other for more than a month. Forget it, I can't explain it to you, who is single."
Wang Ying happily sat down again, but at this time she could no longer read the knowledge in the book.
It's true that she and Zhou Chen haven't seen each other for more than a month, and she misses her so much. Thinking that she will see Zhou Chen tomorrow and touch him, she can't calm down.
Xiao Qianxi could understand Wang Ying's mood: "Didn't you say before that Zhou Chen wouldn't come back in the short term? Why did he come back suddenly?"
Wang Ying replied: "I didn't ask, it's not important. What's important is that others are coming back."
"Look at her grin. I bet she won't be able to sleep tonight."
Xu Lin's words made Xie Qiao nod in agreement: "I think so. Now that Zhou Chen is back, our Miss Wang Ying will often stay up late at night again."
"Hey, Qiao Qiao, you better understand her." Xu Lin winked hard with a teasing look on his face.
Wang Ying didn't care at all about the teasing between the two of them, or she had gotten used to it in the past few months. She was very embarrassed at the beginning, but as time went by, she really didn't care at all.
She couldn't stand reading anymore, so she didn't force herself and went back to her bed to lie down.
Xiao Qianxi looked at Wang Ying and wanted to say something, but seeing that Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were both there, she finally couldn't speak.
After a while, Xie Qiao wanted to go to the toilet, so she pulled Xu Lin to go with her.
Seeing that she and Wang Ying were the only two people left in the room, Xiao Qianxi couldn't bear it any longer. She put down her book, sat on Xie Qiao's bed, facing Wang Ying, but after hesitating for half a minute, she couldn't open the door.
mouth.
However, Wang Ying had already noticed her. Wang Ying, who was very thoughtful, immediately understood that Xiao Qianxi might have something to say, but was embarrassed to say it.
So she took the initiative to ask: "Qianxi, is there something wrong with you? If something happens, don't talk to me outside. Maybe I can help."
Wang Ying's opening immediately made Xiao Qianxi feel relieved. She had a low self-esteem and was strong-willed, especially when she was asking for help from others, it was really difficult for her to speak up.
"Sorry, Wang Ying, I do have something to ask you for help with."
"Whatever it is, tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Wang Ying answered simply. She naturally knew Xiao Qianxi's character. To make Xiao Qianxi speak, he must have been struggling for a long time.
Wang Ying's words also calmed Xiao Qianxi's mind, and she spoke slowly.
"It's not my own business. I want you to ask Zhou Chen for help. Last year, he said that he could help Xiaozhou go abroad to study at Stanford University, but Xiaozhou didn't reply at that time. Xiaozhou was already a junior in college.
, Now you can start thinking about studying abroad, so I would like to ask you to help me ask Zhou Chen. He said before that he could help Xiaozhou, can he still help now? "
Wang Ying looked surprised: "It's such a thing, okay, I'll ask him for you, but if this is what he said, based on my understanding of him, then there is a high probability that it will be okay. He Xiaozhou of your family works so hard."
, it shouldn’t be difficult to take the TOEFL or something like that.”
Seeing that Wang Ying agreed without hesitation, Xiao Qianxi was overjoyed and rushed over to grab Wang Ying's hand and shook it hard, showing great gratitude.
"Wang Ying, thank you, thank you so much."
Wang Ying smiled heartily and said: "Okay, I just want to ask for you. This is nothing, but have you really considered it? If He Xiaozhou goes to study abroad, then you will no longer be able to see each other every day. Are you willing?"
"
A trace of tangle flashed across Xiao Qianxi's face, but she quickly said firmly: "Be willing to give up. For our future, we must be willing to give up. The opportunity to go abroad is rare, and it is a world-renowned university like Stanford University. I don't want Xiaozhou to miss this opportunity."
Chance."
Wang Ying looked at Xiao Qianxi's firm tone and sighed in her heart. She couldn't help but admire Xiao Qianxi a little. If it were her and Zhou Chen, she would really be reluctant to part with him.
After all, He Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianxi are different from her and Zhou Chen. Their finances cannot support their frequent trips home and abroad. Once they go abroad, they may not be able to see each other once in half a year or even a year.
If it were her, and she and Zhou Chen didn't see each other for half a year, she would rather not study abroad, or they would go together.
"I will ask Zhou Chen, Qianxi, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem."
Xiao Qianxi said gratefully: "Thank you, but I haven't told Xiaozhou about this yet. I'm afraid of him..."
Wang Ying held Xiao Qianxi's hand and said softly: "Understood, I understand your concerns, don't worry, I will let Zhou Chen take the initiative to ask Xiaozhou when the time comes, and I won't embarrass you."
"Wang Ying, I really don't know how to thank you and Zhou Chen. No matter whether this happens or not, I will always remember your kindness."
"It's not that serious. There's no such thing as kindness or kindness. We are all friends. He Xiaozhou and Zhou Chen are childhood friends. Even if you don't say anything, Zhou Chen will definitely help. I understand him. He is soft-hearted and loyal. My friend.
Whatever he can, he will help."
"And Xie Qiao and the others..."
