Li Xiaoyue is a lively, cheerful and carefree girl.
Although she only had contact with Zhou Chen twice, Zhou Chen helped her apply medicine and bandage her wounds twice, and also talked to Zhou Chen. Her feeling of spring breeze and gentle tone made her have a good sense of Zhou Chen.
So she naturally started chatting with Zhou Chen without feeling embarrassed or speechless.
"I heard you say yesterday that you know some medical skills. I didn't quite believe it, but I saw you applying medicine and bandaging so professionally twice. Now I believe it. Are you a doctor?"
"That's not true. I just like to read some medical books, so I said I know a little bit about it."
"Then you are self-taught, that's amazing."
Otherwise, Li Xiaoyue is a person who can provide emotional value very much. He started to praise her without saying a few words.
Zhou Chen smiled casually: "No, no, I actually work on typing code on the Internet. Because I type on the keyboard all day long, my hands are more dexterous, so, haha."
"Coder?"
"Yes, yes, he is a coder."
Li Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Chen in surprise, with his neat clothes, sunny smile, and lush hair.
"But I don't think you look like it."
"Then what do you think a coder is like? One with sparse hair, greasy body, slovenly appearance, sleepy eyes, and smelly body?"
"No, I didn't mean that." Li Xiaoyue immediately denied it.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. This is the impression many people have of coders. Some coders are like this, but it does not represent all. In fact, I was not much better when I was working. This is not the case today.
In order to come to see you, I dressed up at home for a few hours, and I felt okay, so I came here."
Li Xiaoyue couldn't hold back, covering her mouth and laughing. Of course she knew it was a joke.
"Then I really want to see what you are like when you are working."
"Then when I feel tired when I go to work next time, I will send you a selfie, and you will know what state I am in when I type code."
"Okay, now that you say that, I'm really curious."
After chatting with Zhou Chen for a while, Li Xiaoyue became more and more relaxed. She felt that Zhou Chen was a very interesting person, completely different from her impression of a coder. He was humorous, clever, and somewhat polite. The way he looked at her
, is also very bright and calm.
He was not ugly in the first place, and the temperament displayed by Zhou Chen made him more attractive. With these advantages, she became more and more fond of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen looked at the time and saw that it was already past six o'clock. Before he came, he deliberately chose the time, neither too early nor too late, just in time for dinner.
So, he deliberately said: "Hey, it's already past six o'clock, time flies by so fast, Li Xiaoyue, I'll invite you out for dinner."
Li Xiaoyue immediately waved her hand and said, "No, I'll cook for myself later."
"You are injured, and you have just changed the dressing and bandaged it. If you move frequently, you may touch the wound. Try to move this hand as little as possible these days."
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. It's just a broken skin. Besides, I applied medicine and it doesn't hurt so much when I move now."
In order to prove what she said, Li Xiaoyue deliberately raised her forearm and moved it. However, after moving a few times, she couldn't hold back a sneer, and then looked at Zhou Chen with an embarrassed expression.
"It's just that it hurts a little bit, so you can laugh if you want."
Zhou Chen chuckled twice, and then continued: "Let's go out to eat together, let's eat hot pot."
"hot pot?"
Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she was a little tempted.
"Then let's AA, otherwise I won't go."
Zhou Chen pretended to be helpless: "How can a man treat a girl to dinner for the first time? It's an AA system. Otherwise, I'm the one who said it first this time. I'll treat you today, and I'll treat you to me next time."
, this is considered AA.”
Li Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Chen with a strange look on her face: "Do I look stupid? I haven't eaten today's meal yet, and I'm thinking about the next meal. What kind of AA is this?"
"Haha, almost." Zhou Chen said with a 'silly smile' on his face.
But Li Xiaoyue still replied: "Okay, I can listen to you, but I will treat you today, and you will treat me next time. You came so far, came to change my dressing, and bought so many things. I must treat you today."
.”
"good."
Zhou Chen agreed without hesitation. It didn't matter who was treating him. What was important was that we could eat together and make an appointment for the next meal in advance.
How could Li Xiaoyue not know what Zhou Chen was thinking, but she didn't care, because she didn't hate Zhou Chen, but rather liked him. She just treated it as making friends and having dinner with them.
"Wait for a moment while I change my clothes."
"good."
Li Xiaoyue walked into her room, and ten minutes later, she changed her clothes and came out.
Zhou Chen keenly discovered that Li Xiaoyue simply put on light makeup, lipstick, and tied up her hair, which made him very happy.
"Let's go."
"Are there any good hot pot restaurants near here?" Zhou Chen asked.
Li Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said: "There are a few nearby, but I have never been to them. I know a hot pot restaurant. I go there with my friends occasionally. It feels pretty good. Do you want to try it?"
"Is it far from here? Do I need to drive?"
"About seven or eight kilometers."
"Then drive."
Zhou Chen drove his new energy vehicle and took Li Xiaoyue to the hot pot restaurant she mentioned.
Eating hot pot and drinking iced drinks, Li Xiaoyue shook her head happily.
"You are eating it, is it not to your liking?"
Zhou Chen looked away and said with a smile: "No, it's quite delicious."
Li Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Yeah, I go out to eat with my friends. If I don't know what to eat, or if we don't agree with each other, we will basically eat hot pot."
"Yes, when eating hot pot, you can order whatever you like without having to think too much. It is suitable for many people who have difficulty choosing."
"That's right, that's what I thought. Instead of wondering about it, why not come and have hot pot? It's simple and convenient, with many choices. You can order whatever you want."
Li Xiaoyue was very happy. She didn't pretend to be a lady in front of Zhou Chen. She did whatever she felt comfortable with, without any pretense at all.
Zhou Chen was also infected by her and happily ate and drank with her, chatting while eating.
"I came to Beijing when I was in college. It has been many years in the blink of an eye. Everything in Beijing is good, but it is too big. Sometimes I have to discuss it for a long time if I want to get together with friends. It takes two or three hours by car, which is too troublesome.
Already."
Li Xiaoyue talked about her life in the capital. Listening to her narration, you can tell that she is a person who is passionate about life. She doesn't talk about work and other topics at all. She basically just eats, drinks, has fun, and shares her happiness with Zhou Chen.
"What about you, are you a native of Beijing?"
"No, I am also a North Piao, but I have stayed in this city for eleven years from school to now. My brother and sister-in-law's family are also here, so I am not alone; as for you, you are alone in this city.
, will you feel lonely?”
Li Xiaoyue said: "Are you lonely? It's okay. I think even if I am alone, I will not necessarily be lonely. I will walk around, go shopping, and watch movies. In short, I can eat, drink and have fun alone. No
Feeling lonely.”
Suddenly, she paused and said, "When it comes to loneliness, it might be a bit lonely. When I'm celebrating the New Year alone, I might feel a little lonely, but I'm used to it."
After saying that, she showed a bright smile to Zhou Chen. There was no sadness at all, but only happiness and relief.
She didn't know why, even though it was only the second time she met Zhou Chen, she couldn't help but reveal a lot about herself and completely lost her guard against Zhou Chen.
Li Xiaoyue's words touched Zhou Chen deeply, because he has experienced much more loneliness than Li Xiaoyue. In many film and television worlds, he has no relatives and needs to rely on himself for everything. Loneliness has always been with him.
As Li Xiaoyue said, I am used to being alone.
Zhou Chen raised his drink and touched it with Li Xiaoyue.
"Next time if you feel lonely, you can call me and I will come and have hot pot with you."
"Haha, don't you go to work?"
“Is it important to have friends at work?”
Li Xiaoyue was startled for a moment, then agreed: "You're right, work is not as important as friends, cheers."
"cheers."
After finishing the meal, Zhou Chen did not rush to pay with Li Xiaoyue, which made Li Xiaoyue very satisfied, and then she went to check out.
After walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Zhou Chen asked: "I've just finished eating, let's go to the shopping mall, take a walk, and eat something?"
Li Xiaoyue readily agreed.
"Okay, there is an underground market in front of us. Let's go shopping there."
"OK."
Zhou Chen drove to the location Li Xiaoyue said. After parking the car, he went to the underground shopping mall with her.
Different from big shopping malls, this kind of underground shopping mall basically sells cheap things, such as clothes, toys, stationery, etc., it has everything you need, and it may even be more complete than what is found in big shopping malls.
The flow of people in this kind of place is no worse than that of a large shopping mall, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is too crowded, and the shops are close together, making it noisy and chaotic, and there are even many shop owners.
The landlady shouted loudly.
When Li Xiaoyue came here, she felt as if she had returned home, taking Zhou Chen around like a fish in water.
Zhou Chen followed Li Xiaoyue and walked with her. Li Xiaoyue would stop and take a look when he saw someone he was interested in. Occasionally, he would even bargain with the boss. His counter-offering attitude was like that of a veteran, which attracted Zhou Chen's attention.
I find it very funny, such a pretty and cute little girl bargaining with others, it's such a contrast.
Li Xiaoyue was not just shopping by herself, she kept her eyes on Zhou Chen. It was only because she found that Zhou Chen was not impatient at all, but was enjoying shopping with her, that she was so relaxed.
If Zhou Chen shows impatience, disgust or exhaustion, she will end it.
But obviously, Zhou Chen didn't. Many times, like her, he would pick up something he was interested in and take a look.
The shopping lasted more than an hour, but Li Xiaoyue didn't buy anything. During the process, she made many counter-offers, but in the end she didn't buy anything.
"Are you a little disappointed?" Li Xiaoyue suddenly asked.
Zhou Chen didn't know why: "What?"
"I mean what I looked like just now."
"What happened to your appearance just now? I think it's pretty good. Why should you be disappointed?"
"Okay, I was overthinking it. You don't look like someone who would come to a place like this. I thought you wouldn't be able to adapt."
"Then you must underestimate me. I am almost thirty. A market like this was very popular when I was a child. How could I not adapt to it?"
Zhou Chen actually understood what Li Xiaoyue meant and brought him here specifically to let him see her daily life and show him her truest self.
Li Xiaoyue smiled, feeling inexplicably a little more happy.
She is a smart girl. Male friends and female friends are naturally different, so you need to be careful when interacting with them.
But Zhou Chen didn't show any negative emotions just now, nor did he have any dislike. She had been paying attention, and she could see that Zhou Chen was not pretending to win her favor.
"It's getting late. We're here today. Let's go back."
"Okay, I'll take you back first."
This time, Li Xiaoyue did not refuse or be polite, and happily got into Zhou Chen's car.
Zhou Chen sent her to the gate of the community, said goodbye, watched her walk into the community, and drove back.
Li Xiaoyue, who walked into the community, suddenly turned around and saw Zhou Chen's car had gone away. After standing for a while, he suddenly smiled, then walked back happily with brisk steps.
Zhou Chen returned home and took out his computer. It is now 2020 and there are many opportunities to make money. He has more than 200,000 in cash and hundreds of thousands in funds. He did not hesitate and directly withdrew all the funds.
After taking out the funds, including cash, there are more than half a million yuan in total.
Now, Na Juan does not have an annual salary of one million as at the beginning of the plot, but now the total salary, bonus and year-end bonus for a year is 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Even in a capital city like Beijing, he is a member of the middle-to-high-income group.
.
More than half a million yuan is not a lot of capital, but for Zhou Chen, it is a decent amount of start-up capital, which is enough for many operations.
His main mission target in this world is Li Xiaoyue. With a character like Li Xiaoyue, even if Zhou Chen wants to make money, it is impossible for him to engage in the kind of hard work that requires a lot of time. With his ability and more than 500,000 yuan, in
It is perfectly fine to make a small fortune in the stock market.
He has no idea about the domestic stock market. He is aiming at the foreign stock market, which is already familiar to him.
If you want to make money in the stock market, intelligence is essential, so he did not rush into the stock market directly. Instead, he first read the news to understand the market, and then analyzed and recorded based on his super mathematical calculation ability...
…
Suddenly, a cell phone ringing interrupted Zhou Chen's busy schedule.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Na Wei, his brother in this world calling.
After talking for a few minutes, it turned out that it was his sister-in-law Shen Lin's birthday that was coming up. Na Wei said that he would come to his house to get together on the weekend, and that Shen Lei and the others would also come.
Zhou Chen agreed and said that Sunday would pass. Then he looked at the calendar on his phone and found that today was already Friday.
