Chapter 1306 Return to the True Garden, Zhou Chen’s gift
Zhou Chen's words immediately caused Wang Mingzhu's eyes to change.
"Do you really think so?"
Although she was chattering, she was not stupid. She had naturally heard of all the rumors on the Yellow River Road. Many people said that she was able to achieve her current results only because of Mr. Bao.
She also admitted that she and Mr. Bao were good partners, and Mr. Bao also helped her a lot. She also had feelings for Mr. Bao, but it didn't mean that she was willing to be said so.
Zhou Chen's identity was there, and she was surprised when he said such words.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Of course, although Mr. Bao is very capable and capable, without you, Miss Wang, he would not have achieved what he has now, so I say that you are mutually successful."
Wang Mingzhu suddenly showed a bright smile and said happily: "Mr. Zhou, you are fair in speaking, unlike those villains who only know what to say. When Mr. Bao came to No. 27, no one paid any attention to him. In the end, it was me.
Only by helping him can he complete his first foreign trade order. Without me, Mr. Bao, he would not have achieved what he has now. What you said is so good."
"Miss Wang is right. With Miss Wang's ability, even if she leaves No. 27 and works alone in the future, she will definitely not be worse than Mr. Bao."
In order to complete the side mission, Zhou Chen directly started to PUA Wang Mingzhu. Wang Mingzhu was simple-minded and even smiled brightly when Zhou Chen praised her.
This is the advantage brought by Zhou Chen's identity. Wang Mingzhu might be happy if others praised him, but he would definitely not be as happy as he is now. Zhou Chen is a celebrity in Shanghai. Looking at the whole country, he is also a powerful businessman. He is
When such people praise you in person, your vanity can still be greatly satisfied.
"It's not as good as you said. Mr. Bao is very capable. I can't compare to him."
If the corners of her mouth could be lowered, she might be able to show some humility, but now that she is smiling, that would not be very convincing.
Zhou Chen continued PUA: "If nothing else, let's just talk about the Sanyang brand that caused a lot of commotion on Huanghe Road recently. Although it was Mr. Bao who finally negotiated it, Mr. Bao wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with it if it weren't for Ms. Wang.
When it comes to the Sanyang card, it is even less possible to talk about the Sanyang card."
This is actually a bit of a lie. Although Miss Wang played a certain role in getting the Sanyang T-shirt this time, the final deal was mostly due to Abao's strategizing.
However, Wang Mingzhu didn't know what Zhou Chen was thinking. She didn't have any friendship with Zhou Chen. She only thought that Zhou Chen was sincerely praising her, so she smiled very happily.
"Mr. Zhou, no wonder you run an investment company. Your vision is better than others."
Seeing Wang Mingzhu's happy look, Zhou Chen felt a little guilty in his heart. Although this woman was in her twenties, she was really the kind of simple and heartless person. But that's right, if she really had a heart.
, so you won’t be backstabbed so easily by your colleagues.
Like Wang Mingzhu, who lived in a happy family and grew up pampered by her parents. When she arrived at the company, she was cared for by her section chief and master. After starting work, she met someone like A Bao who was willing to trust her and help her. Her life
I really didn't encounter any setbacks.
It is understandable that such a woman who has lived in happiness for the first half of her life has a carefree personality and a simple mind.
The two chatted while eating. After a while, Zhou Chen was ready to leave, so he asked Wang Mingzhu: "Miss Wang, are you going together? I drove here to give you a ride?"
Wang Mingzhu refused: "Thank you, but no, I have to wait for a while."
"Waiting for Mr. Bao?"
"Um."
Zhou Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Then I won't disturb you, Miss Wang, I'm leaving first."
"Mr. Zhou, goodbye, thank you for your praise today."
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Goodbye, Miss Wang."
Wang Mingzhu watched Zhou Chen leave with a puzzled expression. Many people on the Yellow River Road said that Zhou Chen was difficult to get along with, but after just contacting her, she found that Zhou Chen was not difficult to get along with at all. He spoke very politely and had a smile on his face. He looked like a gentleman no matter how he looked.
A very good person to talk to.
"Sure enough, the rumors are not credible, just like those rumors about me. Boss, please have another pork ribs rice cake."
In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed since Zhizhenyuan opened on Huanghe Road. During this period, Zhizhenyuan has definitely been the most profitable restaurant on Huanghe Road. It is almost full every day, and the private rooms are very popular. Every day.
It was fully booked and there were no private rooms at all since we booked late.
The two big stars on the Yellow River Road, Zhou Chen and Abao, Zhou Chen had already been to Zhizhen Garden on the opening day. His visit indeed made many people pay more attention to Zhizhen Garden. After all, Zhou Chen is
I have never attended the opening ceremony of any company hotel, and Zhizhenyuan is the first one.
Li Li really has a big heart. She wants to make money quickly, and the first thing she needs is fame.
Zhou Chen went to Zhizhen Garden and gained fame and gimmicks. However, in the following days, Zhou Chen did not go again, which still made her a little disappointed.
But Zhou Chen had been there once after all. Although she didn't actually negotiate a business deal in his hotel, it had made her famous after all, so she was still grateful to Zhou Chen.
But she was grateful, and what she wanted more was to make money, so Mr. Bao, who often discussed business on the Yellow River Road, became her target.
In order to allow Mr. Bao to go to the Zhenyuan, she fought with Mr. Bao several times.
In the end, Mr. Bao agreed to her, and one afternoon, he drove to Huanghe Road and prepared to go to Zhizhen Garden.
"Boss Boss, Mr. Bao is here, but he didn't go through the front door, but came in through the small door in the back kitchen."
When Manager Pan reported this situation to Li Li, his expression was also very strange.
Li Li was even more surprised after hearing this: "Again, take the small door of the kitchen at the back?"
Manager Pan nodded and said: "Yes, boss lady, you said that last time when Mr. Zhou came to our place, he went through the small door of the back kitchen. He explained that he used to be a cook. This can barely make sense, but
Mr. Bao also used the small door in the back kitchen. He was not a cook before, so why did he also use the small door in the back kitchen?"
Li Li frowned: "Both of them came in through the small door of the back kitchen. This is definitely not a coincidence. There must be some secret that we don't know about."
"Let's go to the kitchen to find Mr. Bao."
Li Li couldn't figure it out, so she could only stop thinking and went to the kitchen to see Mr. Bao again.
She met Mr. Bao and wanted to invite Mr. Bao and Miss Wang to have dinner in the private room of Zhizhenyuan, but Mr. Bao refused her and instead ordered a portion of stir-fried beef river and ate it in the back kitchen.
After that, he even said that Zhizhen Garden had been open on Yellow River Road for less than three months.
Because of Mr. Bao’s words, Zhizhenyuan became even more popular.
The reason is also very simple. Mr. Bao said that the Zhizhen Garden would only be open for three months on Huanghe Road. This actually aroused the curiosity and attention of other people, and everyone wanted to go to the Zhizhen Garden.
On the one hand, I want to know why Mr. Bao said this, and on the other hand, I also want to experience the service of Zhizhenyuan before it closes.
In short, Zhizhenyuan, which was originally on the cusp of the storm, suddenly stood on the wave.
On February 8th, after many days, Zhou Chen came to Zhizhen Garden again. This time, he walked through the main entrance.
As soon as Zhou Chen arrived, Li Li knew it immediately and went to the main entrance to greet Zhou Chen in person.
"Mr. Zhou, welcome."
"Miss Li Li, long time no see, you are still so beautiful."
Li Li showed a bright smile: "Mr. Zhou, please come inside."
Zhou Chen didn't come alone. There were two people behind him. They were carrying things in their hands. Although Li Li saw it, Zhou Chen didn't say anything, so she didn't ask first.
Zhou Chen and Li Li walked into the private room, and before sitting down, he said: "Last time I came to Zhenyuan, I ate and drank for nothing, and I didn't bring any gifts. I promised to make up for it when I left. No, today I will
Brought it."
He pointed to the items being carried over there.
Li Li said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is so polite. It's our great honor to have you come. There's no need to bring any gifts."
"I've brought them all anyway, why don't Miss Li take a look?"
Li Li looked at the smile on Zhou Chen's face and then looked at the wrapped things. She was really curious. She knew that someone like Zhou Chen would definitely not be able to give a simple gift, so she nodded.
"Since Mr. Zhou is so enthusiastic, I'll take a look. If it's too valuable, I won't dare accept it."
Zhou Chen said: "Whether it's expensive or not depends on who is right. Miss Li will tell you after reading it."
He nodded to the two people carrying the items, and then the two of them opened the wrapped things.
Soon, a large photo frame appeared in front of everyone. Under Li Li's surprised gaze, a portrait painting appeared in front of her eyes, causing her expression to change suddenly.
"This is?"
Not only Li Li, but also Manager Pan who was accompanying him looked shocked.
This is indeed a painting, but it is not an ordinary portrait painting, but a portrait of Li Li. The image of her in the painting is exactly how she looked when she met Zhou Chen on the day she opened her business.
Li Li was shocked for a while, then turned to Zhou Chen and asked: "Mr. Zhou, this painting?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I drew it by myself. How about it? It took me seven days to draw you in my memory. There may be some deviations, but it should be 70% or 80% similar. Miss Li, what do you think?"
How about this painting?"
Li Li was silent for a long time, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "I have received many gifts, but this kind of gift is unprecedented."
She was extremely shocked and unbelievable. If this was really painted by Zhou Chen, then she and Zhou Chen had only met twice, and they had not been together for a long time. Without her at the scene, Zhou Chen could rely on his memory to
To make such a perfect painting is simply incredible.
But the facts are right in front of her. The portrait is her. Her appearance and clothes cannot be faked, especially that outfit. She only wore it on the opening day and had never worn it before.
Moreover, with Zhou Chen's status, there is no need to lie and deceive her. Why should he lie to her and care about her and her person?
She came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Chen, who was still so calm that his expression was hard to tell.
"Mr. Zhou, your gift is really too expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford it."
"This portrait is you, and it was originally prepared for you. If you can't bear it, who can?"
With his strong memory, super hands-on ability, and painting skills that practice makes perfect, his painting skills have really reached a very high level. If you want to say that the charm is a bit lacking, it's okay, but in terms of similarity and authenticity,
His paintings are absolutely speechless.
"That's it. I don't like to take back what I give away. If you really don't want it, then I will have no choice but to destroy it."
"Don't."
Li Li shouted reflexively, and then saw the expression on Zhou Chen's face that said nothing, and felt helpless.
"I accepted it."
This portrait is hers. Even if she is not an artist, when she sees this portrait of herself, she is reluctant to destroy it and just wants to treasure it.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much. This gift from you is the most special and precious gift I have ever received in my life."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "As long as you like it, how many meals can this painting be worth?"
Li Li smiled and said: "Forever, this painting is enough for Mr. Zhou to stay in Zhizhen Garden for free forever."
"Then I would be disrespectful."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, please."
Li Li asked Manager Pan to accept the painting and send it to her apartment upstairs. She didn't have time now. She must appreciate the painting again when she is alone.
Zhou Chen came to the private room and said to Li Li: "I heard that Mr. Bao's words made Zhizhen Garden popular again."
Li Li said: "Yes, Mr. Bao deserves to be Mr. Bao. In one sentence, a portion of fried beef has put Zhizhenyuan on the forefront."
"Then the dry-fried beef river must be selling well recently, right?"
"It's not only good, almost most of the guests who come to Zhenyuan will order a piece of fried beef river."
Even Li Li smiled bitterly when she thought of the fried beef heap that had been so popular in the store these days. She had underestimated Mr. Bao's influence.
"Mr. Zhou, can I ask you a question?"
"You want to ask, why did Mr. Bao say that Zhizhen Garden has been open for less than three months?"
"That's not it. I was confused at the time, but now I understand it. It's really not that easy to open a restaurant on Huanghe Road. What I want to ask is, why did Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bao come to Zhenyuan from the small kitchen in the back?
Door in?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly. Of course he knew why Mr. Bao entered through the small door at the back. As for him, he just found it interesting and took a look at the kitchen of Zhizhenyuan. He had no other special intention.
But since Li Li asked, he gave an answer.
"A layman looks at the facade, an expert looks at the back door!"
Li Li frowned slightly. She understood somewhat, but not completely, but she still thanked her gratefully.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for reminding me."
Zhou Chen just smiled lightly and said: "You're welcome. Rather than closing down Zhizhen Garden, I actually want to see Zhizhen Garden stay well on the Yellow River Road. Only in this way will there be more excitement.
