Chapter 331: The cheating mission, the conversation with Gu Jia
Gu Jia's appearance was really beyond Zhou Chen's expectation. Originally, he thought it would take some time before he could meet Gu Jia. Who would have thought that Gu Jia and his family would move to Junyue Mansion today, and they would meet him so coincidentally?
Met.
"Meet the main plot characters and trigger the mission."
"Task 3: Happy to be a father: Happy to mention my son Xu Ziyan, let Xu Ziyan call him dad in public, and become Xu Ziyan's nominal father."
"???"
The system's task arrived on time, but this task and its content confused Zhou Chen.
I'm happy to be a father, and I'm happy to be your sister. Are you sure this isn't a sarcasm?
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Xu Ziyan, who had fair skin and cute appearance.
He looks good, but the problem is that if he wants to complete the task of becoming a father and let Xu Ziyan call him dad in public, that means that Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan must divorce, and then he can win over Gu Jia.
The key point of co-writing this task is still the heroine Gu Jia, which is similar in nature to the task of taking down Wang Manni.
The difference is that Gu Jia and Wang Manni are not the same people. It is definitely countless times more difficult to win over Gu Jia and get her approval and make her son change his name to dad than it is to win over Wang Manni.
Although raising a son for someone else is not a good thing, who wants the child's mother to be Gu Jia? How many men can resist such a temptation?
The pain caused by the previous relationship and memory has not been completely recovered, so Zhou Chen is not ready to continue to be deeply involved in this world, so it is quite good to interact with the heroine of the plot like this.
It not only gives you something to do, but also allows you to release your emotions on them, so why not?
Zhou Chen doesn't reject Neptune, and he doesn't want to do anything about it. Who can say anything about things that are mutually agreeable between you and me?
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind, and then his face was filled with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, Ms. Gu, hello, my name is Zhou Chen. Your son is very cute. Since we live in the same building from now on, we should get closer and closer. This is my business card."
Although he already had thoughts about Gu Jia, Zhou Chen remained calm and greeted him politely. He took out his business card and handed it to Gu Jia.
Gu Jia naturally would not refuse. He took the business card and did not go to see it immediately out of politeness.
"Thank you for your compliment. Ziyan is also very naughty."
"Boys, this is the time to be naughty. Lively children are always more lovable."
After saying that, Zhou Chen reached out and touched Xu Ziyan's head again, with a fatherly expression on his face.
"Mr. Xu, Ms. Gu, I have something to do, so I will leave first. If there is a chance, we can get together later."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, you will be busy first."
Watching Zhou Chen walk out of the door, Gu Jicai picked up the business card and read it.
"Chairman of Huaxing Group, Zhou Chen."
"Sister Jia, Huaxing Group is a large medicinal company in our city, with assets exceeding tens of billions. Mr. Zhou is the head of Huaxing Group and is worth at least several billion. One of his business cards is worth a thousand dollars."
Xiao Zhang, the male staff member next to him, explained to Gu Jia.
"Assets exceed tens of billions? How many billions are you worth?"
Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan were both shocked. They never thought that this man who looked about the same age as them could be so rich.
Another staff member, Xiao Song, followed up and said: "This is just Mr. Zhou's apparent assets. There are rumors that Mr. Zhou comes from a wealthy family. We don't know much about the details, but as for the owners of the entire Grand Hyatt Mansion,
, the only ones qualified to compete with Mr. Zhou in terms of assets are Mrs. Wang’s husband’s family on the 21st floor.”
Gu Jia keenly grasped two key points. One is that Zhou Chen is very rich. With the magnanimity he just showed, he may really come from a big family.
Another point is that Zhou Chen is already so rich, and there is someone in Junyue Mansion who can compete with him. This Mrs. Wang's family background is probably not simple.
"Mr. Zhou seems to like children very much?" Gu Jia asked tentatively.
Xiao Zhang replied: "We don't know much about this, because Mr. Zhou rarely lives here, and we haven't met him a few times. We only know about him through rumors within the company."
"I see."
Gu Jia nodded, and then said: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Song, thank you. These are the snacks I prepared for you."
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Song quickly thanked them, "Thank you, Sister Jia. The flowers prepared for your housewarming have been sent to you."
Gu Jia smiled and said, "I've really made you worry about it, so let's go up first."
"Okay, then walk slowly."
Xu Huanshan hugged Xu Ziyan and walked into the elevator with Gu Jia. When he saw his wife Gu Jia still staring at the business card in his hand, he was a little bit disgusted.
"Honey, isn't it just a business card? You've looked at it several times and you still haven't seen enough."
Gu Jia knew Xu Huanshan's thoughts as soon as he saw his expression. Xu Huanshan couldn't hide his expression at all, and all his thoughts were revealed.
"I was just thinking that this Zhou Chen is really rich. Not only is his wealth astonishing, but even this business card is worth a lot of money."
"Isn't it just a business card? How valuable can it be?" Xu Huanshan looked incredulous.
Gu Jia did not speak, but handed the business card to Xu Huanshan, who took it in confusion.
"Huh?"
As soon as he took the business card, Xu Huanshan was surprised. Because the business card was in his hand, he felt a heavy weight and took a closer look.
"What material is this made of? Is it real gold? And this shiny thing, don't tell me, is it a diamond?"
Gu Jiadao: "Do you think a person who controls a large group worth tens of billions will use fake products?"
Xu Huanshan laughed a few times. The couple had been struggling for so many years, and all their assets combined amounted to tens of millions, and most of them were real estate.
Let alone over 10 billion, even one billion or 500 million is still an unattainable goal for them.
"It's just a business card. Is it necessary to make it so precious? I really have nothing to spend my money on."
Although he was amazed at the value and uniqueness of this business card, Xu Huanshan was very disdainful.
Perhaps because of the repulsion of the same sex, when he saw Zhou Chen, who was handsomer, richer than him, and more elegant than him, he felt a little unhappy, especially in front of his wife.
Gu Jia said: "For us, this is just a business card, but for those wealthy people from wealthy families, it may be a matter of face."
"Face cannot be eaten as food."
Xu Huanshan is essentially a fireworks designer, quite artistic, and he doesn't think highly of this kind of behavior.
Gu Jia did not argue with her husband. She felt that her husband was too childish and her goals were very big, so she would rather take on a huge loan and move to Junyue Mansion.
Today was the first day she moved in, and she met people like Zhou Chen. She felt that her change of house this time was worth it. She could learn a lot by living with these rich people.
"Huaxing Group and the Zhou family, I wonder if they can bring business to our family?"
There is only one fireworks company in their family, but now the development of the fireworks company is greatly restricted, and she always feels that fireworks are too risky. If her husband doesn't really like this industry, she doesn't want to keep doing it.
However, considering that Huaxing Group is just a company that deals in medicinal materials, it may be difficult to help their family's business.
Zhou Chen was sitting in the car, thinking about the encounter he had just had with Gu Jia. Wang Manni hadn't settled it yet. She met Gu Jia so soon. Moreover, it was a mission to become a father. She had to win over Gu Jia.
He is no longer a junior brother, and he has no resistance to such things as adopting girls, and he will not be subject to any moral condemnation.
There is some trouble here with Gu Jia. After all, they are still a loving family. If you want to take down Gu Jia, you must first destroy their family.
He really has no experience with this kind of thing and needs to plan carefully.
The first and most important thing is one person, Lin Youyou.
Zhou Chen didn't know if other women could make Xu Huanshan cheat on her, but as long as she met this Lin Youyou, she would be able to make Xu Huanshan cheat on her, so Xu Huanshan had to go to Yanjing to meet Lin Youyou.
.
"Boss, we're here."
Cao Chengrui's driving skills were quite good, and Zhou Chen had already arrived at the company before he felt anything.
The company's affairs are still quite busy. Zhou Chen has been processing documents all morning. However, because of his many business experiences, his speed is much faster, and a large number of documents can be processed quickly.
Today's company is very lively, because the company is selecting the chairman's secretary today, and all female employees who are somewhat confident in their abilities and appearance have signed up to participate.
After all, apart from those senior executives and the company chairman's secretary, it is an irresistible temptation for female employees.
Although it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, the risks are high and the rewards are also great.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Lao Qian from the Human Resources Department handed Zhou Chen the final list of candidates. There were four people selected in total.
It can be said that these four people were selected from thousands of people. Although Zhou Chen did not put forward any requirements, the people in the human resources department were very discerning. None of the people selected were over thirty years old, and they were all very beautiful.
Zhou Chen carefully compared the qualifications of the four people and first excluded a woman who was already engaged. Although he had not thought about having anything happen to his secretary, he still didn't want to use a woman who was getting married. It was troublesome.
"That's it."
Zhou Chen handed one of the files to Lao Qian.
Lao Qian took over one of them. This female employee was not the most beautiful among the four, but her academic qualifications and performance were the best.
"Okay, I understand, I will arrange for her to take up the post tomorrow."
"Well, let Secretary Wu take her to familiarize herself with the process first. After she becomes familiar with it, Secretary Wu will be transferred."
"clear."
…………
Seeing that it was afternoon and almost one day had passed since the mission to capture Wang Manni, Zhou Chen picked up his cell phone and dialed Wang Manni's number.
For Wang Manni, today's business is pretty good, because there are new products on the market today, and many old customers have come to buy, so she has been busy since the morning and has not stopped until now.
Wang Manni was explaining to the guests when her cell phone rang suddenly. She was about to hang up immediately, but when she saw the caller ID, her expression suddenly changed.
"Sister Wang, I'm sorry, I have an emergency call that needs to be answered. I'll ask my colleague to introduce it to you first."
After getting the consent, she called a colleague with whom she was usually very close and asked her to help.
As for herself, she walked to the corner and answered the phone.
"Mr. Zhou."
"You didn't answer the phone until now. Is the store busy, or do you just don't want to answer my call?"
Wang Manni quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, are you kidding? You are a big customer in our store. How dare I not answer your call? I was really busy just now."
Zhou Chen didn't ask any more questions, but said directly: "I heard from your deputy store manager that there are new products on the shelves today. You can help me select a few pieces later and send them to my place. It just so happens that my nanny is on leave today, so you can help me by the way."
Make dinner."
"Ah? Do you still want to make dinner?"
Wang Manni looked bitter and couldn't help but say it on the phone. By the time she came to her senses, she couldn't take it back.
"What? You don't want to cook for me anymore because of what I said yesterday?"
"No, no, it's because what I cook is definitely not as delicious as what your nanny makes. I think it's better to forget it."
"I think you did a good job. If you think the ingredients at my house are not good, you can buy them yourself, and I will transfer the prestige to you. If you really don't want to come, then tell your deputy store manager.
Let her arrange for someone to send me clothes and make meals on the way, that’s all, I have something else to do, so I’ll hang up first.”
Zhou Chen didn't give Wang Manni any room to refuse, and quickly hung up the phone, then opened Wang Manni's prestige and transferred 20,000 yuan directly.
Wang Manni looked at the transfer on her mobile phone, her face half smiling but not smiling, half crying but not crying. She really didn't know how to deal with Zhou Chen's strength.
She doesn't want Zhou Chen to look down on her and become a nanny who comes and goes when called upon, but she can't let Zhou Chen, a super big client, go.
Apart from anything else, the 10 million stored in the store was a fatal temptation for her.
So she had no choice but to agree to deliver meals to Zhou Chen's house.
So she found the deputy store manager, told Zhou Chen's request, and asked the deputy store manager to agree to her request for leave.
"This must be no problem. Mr. Zhou is our biggest customer now. Later you will select the best among the new products for him to choose. As for your cooking, it does not count as your leave."
"Thank you, deputy store."
The deputy store manager said with a serious expression: "Manni, sister is actually very envious of you. You have to seize the opportunity to have such a big customer to help you. Cooking for him is your best opportunity to perform. Then
As the saying goes, if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach.”
Wang Manni smiled bitterly and said: "Deputy store manager, what kind of delicacies do you think a big shot like him has never tasted? With my three-legged cat level, people won't take it seriously at all. I think the reason why he treats me like this is
You deliberately teased me."
The deputy store manager said indifferently: "So what? Go out and ask other people, ask them if they are willing, not to mention cooking, even if it is to do other things, they guarantee that they will not hesitate, you
Ah, you just get a good deal and still behave well."
"It's not that exaggerated, deputy store."
"Haha, we are already at our age and have passed the time of dreaming. How many of us have come and gone here, and in the end, who is not defeated by reality?"
"Manni, listen to my sister's advice. Don't think about unrealistic things. The most important thing is to seize the immediate interests."
…………
The deputy store manager was originally very optimistic about Wang Manni. Now that Wang Manni has attracted a super big customer like Zhou Chen, her attitude towards Wang Manni is naturally better, so she said so much sincerely.
.
Wang Manni's expression was heavy. She didn't know this. It was just that she had finally met such a man who met her standards or even exceeded her standards in all these years. How could she be willing to let him go?
But although Zhou Chen didn't say it clearly, his meaning was very clear. He had a good impression of her and could want her, but it was impossible to want something unrealistic.
Zhou Chen returned to Junyue Mansion at five o'clock. He did not go to Misia's store because he concluded that Wang Manni would definitely come.
But as soon as he reached Junyue Mansion, he saw Gu Jia walking towards him.
Gu Jia wore a dark windbreaker, a white T-shirt and a purple skirt underneath, showing her confidence when walking around.
Zhou Chen saw Gu Jia, and Gu Jia naturally saw Zhou Chen. She walked towards Zhou Chen with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Zhou, we meet again."
"Yes, Ms. Gu, it seems we are quite destined. Are you out shopping for groceries?"
Zhou Chen asked, pointing to the fruit in Gu Jia's hand.
Gu Jia replied: "No, I just bought some fruit on the way."
"Mr. Xu is so lucky to have a wife like you, Ms. Gu."
Gu Jia smiled happily and said, "I am lucky enough to have met such an excellent husband as Huan Shan. Mr. Zhou, just call me Gu Jia."
"Okay, Gu Jia, you don't have to call me Mr. Zhou. Just call me Zhou Chen. I think we are about the same age, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Well, let's go in."
Gu Jia is responsible for 80% of the reason why Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia's business can flourish. She has absolutely nothing to say whether it's socializing or managing the company.
Even though she has been working as a full-time housewife for several years, once something big happens in the company, the employees of the company will think of her first, not Xu Huanshan.
Zhou Chen's identity is there. Although Gu Jia feels that Zhou Chen may not be able to help their fireworks company now, who knows if he can help in the future, so if they can get along well, she will definitely want to have a good relationship with Zhou Chen.
The two of them walked to the elevator, but the elevator hadn't arrived yet.
"Gu Jia, I think you have the aura of a strong woman. I would like to ask, what does your family do?"
Gu Jia smoothed her hair from her forehead and said modestly: "What kind of strong woman am I? I am now a full-time wife, and my husband is now running a fireworks company."
"Fireworks company?"
Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and said: "To be honest, I have many friends, but none of them are in the fireworks business. My impression of fireworks is that they spray into the air, and then there is a loud bang and scattering."
Another pattern, it feels very romantic and beautiful, your family actually makes this, it’s amazing.”
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Gu Jia smiled even more. Being praised by others, and it was from a billionaire like Zhou Chen, anyone would be elated.
But then Zhou Chen frowned and said: "But, Gu Jia, with all due respect, I don't know how profitable this business is, but I think that things like fireworks involve gunpowder and are extremely risky.
, once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous. In this kind of business, your management must be very strict, right?"
A sudden thought occurred in Gu Jia's heart. Even Zhou Chen, a layman, first thought that fireworks were extremely risky. In fact, she thought so too.
It's just that Xu Huanshan likes fireworks too much, so she can only follow her husband's idea and run a fireworks company.
She replied with a somewhat stiff expression: "There are indeed risks, but as long as management is in place, they can still be controlled. And now in all walks of life, there are few industries without risks."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to make money, how can you not take risks?"
While talking, the elevator has already reached the first floor.
