Zhou Chen and Gu Jia walked into the elevator together and swiped their cards.
As a high-end community in Junyue Mansion, owners can only swipe the elevators on their own floors. In fact, this kind of card swiping elevator has long been common, but Junyue Mansion is more strict.
"Gu Jia, your son should be old enough to go to kindergarten."
Zhou Chen took the initiative to find a topic, and Gu Jia was now his target. Although there had been no changes in her family yet, he still needed to become familiar with her in advance. Once the relationship between the two parties became familiar, he would be able to better intervene in the future.
Gu Jiadao: "Well, I'm going to report to Depu who is on the other side of Ziyan, but the procedure is a little troublesome and I'm still preparing."
"Depu, I have heard that it is the best kindergarten in this area."
Gu Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and asked: "Zhou Chen, do you know what are the conditions or specific requirements for entering this kindergarten?"
"I don't know this yet because I'm not married yet and I don't have children, so I have no knowledge of this aspect."
Gu Jia looked surprised: "Zhou Chen, you're not married yet?"
"I'm not even thirty this year, so should I be surprised that I'm not married?" Zhou Chen asked rhetorically.
Now it was Gu Jia's turn to be surprised. Zhou Chen looked very young, but she always thought that Zhou Chen took good care of himself.
After all, Zhou Chen controls such a huge group and has countless assets, which gives people the impression that he has a certain age.
But now she heard that Zhou Chen, who was less than thirty, about the same age as her, or even older than her, had already controlled such a large group and had personal assets in the billions, which suddenly made her feel ridiculous.
It's just too false.
"Ding dong!"
The elevator bell rang. It turned out that the twelfth floor had arrived, and Gu Jia woke up immediately.
"We're here, Zhou Chen, I'll go back first."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, next time you are free, bring your husband and son to my place as guests."
Gu Jia politely replied: "If you have time, I will definitely go."
She really wanted to visit, but she knew that with her husband Xu Huanshan's character, he would definitely not agree to go.
When the elevator reached the twentieth floor, Zhou Chen stepped out of the elevator and immediately saw Wang Manni standing in front of his door.
Wang Manni had arrived here more than ten minutes ago. Because Zhou Chen greeted her in advance, she was able to come up smoothly.
Seeing Zhou Chen walking out of the elevator, she immediately greeted him: "Mr. Zhou, you are back."
Zhou Chen asked her to call her by her name before, but after the showdown, she felt something was wrong, so she returned to the previous name.
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, let's go in and talk."
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the items Wang Manni placed on the stool at the door.
"Hey, are you really buying groceries?"
Wang Manni looked embarrassed: "The ingredients in your house are too precious. I didn't dare to touch them, so I bought some myself. There is still a lot of food money you gave me. I will transfer it to you later."
"No, let's count your errand fees and hard work."
While talking, Zhou Chen had already opened the door, and Wang Manni quickly followed in carrying her things.
After entering, Wang Manni took the initiative to put the dishes in the kitchen without Zhou Chen's instructions, and then asked Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to see the clothes?"
"No need, just hang it up."
"knew."
So Wang Manni went to the cloakroom again. Regardless of other things, she really fell in love with this cloakroom, but it was a pity that it didn't belong to her.
Zhou Chen started busy with his own things again, while Wang Manni started cooking after hanging up her clothes.
What Wang Manni cooked today may be her own specialty dish, which tasted much better than yesterday. Zhou Chen's appetite was larger than the average person, and he ate most of several dishes.
Wang Manni, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, looked at the advanced kitchen supplies here, and her desire became more and more intense.
"Mr. Zhou, I have tidied up the kitchen, so I will go back first."
Zhou Chen didn't speak, but stood up and walked in front of her.
"Would you like to stay tonight?"
Wang Manni: "Mr. Zhou, I have other things to do in the evening, just..."
But before she finished speaking, Zhou Chen suddenly pulled her into his arms. Wang Manni wanted to struggle, but how could she be stronger than Zhou Chen and couldn't break away at all.
"Mr. Zhou, you..."
The next moment, her mouth was gagged, which caused her pupils to dilate suddenly, and she forgot to break free, and she was instantly confused.
Under Zhou Chen's strength, she had no power to resist. At this moment, her mind was in chaos and her body was out of control.
But she didn't want to hand herself over to Zhou Chen easily, so she was in a panic and didn't know how to react.
Zhou Chen can be said to be a veteran, and his hands kept moving, making Wang Manni even more uncomfortable.
"Mr. Zhou, Zhou Chen, don't, don't..."
But Zhou Chen just leaned against her ear and whispered: "I can give you everything you want, you won't regret it."
Wang Manni's resisting hands suddenly stiffened. She wanted too much, but for a top rich man like Zhou Chen, it was really easy.
Feeling that Wang Manni's resistance was getting weaker and weaker, Zhou Chen immediately picked her up from the sofa and walked into the room without hesitation.
…………
…………
After a long time, Wang Manni collapsed on the bed. She tried hard to open her eyes, but found that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Chen looked at Wang Manni who was already asleep, got up and walked to the bathroom.
With his current physical condition, it is not something that ordinary women can bear. When facing his wife in the past, he rarely used his full strength. After all, they are the women he loves, and he cannot ignore their bodies.
But this time when facing Wang Manni, he had no scruples and began to indulge himself wantonly. Wang Manni was no match at all, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
The habit he had developed over the years made Zhou Chen wake up early. He looked at Wang Manni, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and gently moved her away.
Wearing a pair of sportswear, Zhou Chen was about to go out for exercise. He happened to bump into Yang's mother who had already come over. He gave Yang's mother some simple instructions, and then he walked out of the house.
Zhou Chen has developed a habit of getting up in the morning to exercise. He doesn't need much sleep now, so he is still lying down in bed. It is better to get up and exercise. Early morning exercise is very beneficial to the body.
The location of Junyue Mansion is quite good. There is a park not far away. Zhou Chen started running around the artificial lake.
Before the lap was completed, Zhou Chen saw a slender figure in front of him, which looked familiar, so he accelerated and chased after him.
"Gu Jia."
Gu Jia was running when she suddenly heard someone calling her and turned around.
"Zhou Chen, it's you, are you coming to run too?"
Zhou Chen said: "Yes, I have been doing this for many years, but for a woman like you, getting up early in the morning for a run is really a bit unexpected."
Gu Jia: "Not only you men need to exercise, but we women also need to exercise."
Zhou Chen smiled and asked, "Why are you alone? Your husband didn't come to accompany you?"
"he?"
Gu Jia shook his head helplessly and said, "He just wants to sleep when he has this time. How can he have time to run with me?"
She is a very self-disciplined person. Even after being married for many years and becoming a stay-at-home mother, she still has not given up exercising. Whether it is running, yoga, etc., she has always insisted on doing it in order to maintain her figure and health.
But Xu Huanshan is different. When he comes back from the company every day, he only eats and sleeps, otherwise he works on designs at home. He even spends very little time with his son, let alone running and exercising with her.
"This is normal. After all, Mr. Xu manages a company and is quite busy. He probably doesn't even have enough time to rest every day." Zhou Chen looked understanding.
"What about you? The group company you control is countless times more powerful than our small fireworks company. As the chairman, aren't you busy?"
Gu Jia took the opportunity to start to understand Zhou Chen's situation. She was really curious about Zhou Chen, the big boss, whether he would inherit the family business or whether he was very talented himself?
Zhou Chen explained: "You also know that our family is in the medicine business. When passed down from our ancestors, they all asked us to learn some medical skills, so we attach great importance to physical health. No matter how busy or tired we are, we will always take time to exercise.
."
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Gu Jia was deeply touched. Looking at others, they all have such a big business, but they still have their own persistence.
This also made her more determined that the body is the capital of revolution. She must not stop exercising. Starting tomorrow, she will also call her husband Xu Huanshan to exercise together.
Zhou Chen and Gu Jia slowed down their running speed and chatted briefly while running.
After completing one lap, Gu Jia left first because he wanted to go back and make breakfast for his son, while Zhou Chen ran around again before going back.
When Wang Manni woke up, it was already morning. She sat up with her limp body, looked at the familiar environment around her, and then realized what happened last night.
Suddenly her eyes paused, and she saw the lady's long skirt placed beside the bed. She thought it was prepared by Zhou Chen for her, so she picked up the long skirt and walked into the bathroom in the bedroom.
More than half an hour later, Wang Manni walked out neatly dressed. She just checked the time, and it was just past six in the morning. At this time, Zhou Chen was no longer there, and she didn't know where he went.
She had a tiring day yesterday and had just taken a shower. She was really hungry and dizzy, so she wanted to get something to eat, so she opened the bedroom door.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door, Wang Manni heard the sound in the living room. She thought it was Zhou Chen in the living room, and was about to speak when she suddenly saw a woman walking into her sight.
"Ms. Wang, you're awake."
Wang Manni looked at the middle-aged woman in an apron with confusion and asked curiously: "Who are you?"
"My surname is Yang, and I am Master Zhou Chen's servant." Yang's mother said kindly.
Wang Manni was suddenly startled and said politely: "Hello, Mother Yang, my name is Wang Manni."
Although he is just a servant, he has worked for Zhou Chen for twenty years, and his status in Zhou Chen's mind must be extraordinary.
Yang's mother smiled and said: "The young master told me, Miss Wang, please wait."
Under Wang Manni's doubtful gaze, she saw Yang Ma bringing over a glass of water and holding something in her hand.
"Miss Wang, this is for you."
Wang Manni doubtfully took the water glass and another item handed over by Yang's mother, looked down, and her expression suddenly changed.
"Mother Yang, what does this mean?"
It turned out that what Yang's mother handed over turned out to be a pill. As a woman, of course she knew what it was, so her face became ugly.
Mother Yang seemed not to notice Wang Manni's ugly face, and still smiled and replied: "Miss Wang, this is the rule of the Zhou family. Pregnancy is not allowed before the young master has officially married you."
Wang Manni still had a bad look on her face: "You guys are too bullying."
She originally slept with Zhou Chen, but ended up being forced to take medicine the next day. Does this mean she wanted to force Zhou Chen to submit by getting pregnant out of wedlock?
Yang's mother still smiled and replied: "This is the rule of the Zhou family. Miss Wang, I am just a servant. You don't have to argue with me. If you have any objections, you can tell the young master that I am only responsible for delivering the things to you."
you."
Yang Ma has worked in the Zhou family for twenty years and has already integrated into the Zhou family. Many rules of the Zhou family were passed down from ancestors. Not to mention her as a servant, even Zhou Chen, the current helmsman, needs to abide by them.
Lots of rules.
At this moment, Wang Manni looked at the kind Mother Yang and felt that her smile was extremely hateful.
But Yang Ma still smiled in response. She was not afraid of Wang Manni's objections, because she knew that a woman like Wang Manni was destined to be impossible to become the wife of the Zhou family, not to mention that she acted according to the rules of the Zhou family.
Wang Manni's expression changed several times. She wanted to call Zhou Chen, but she couldn't make up her mind. She knew very well that Zhou Chen couldn't marry her, so naturally it was impossible for her to get pregnant, so.
Under Yang's mother's watchful eyes, she took the medicine.
"Ms. Wang, toiletries and breakfast have been prepared for you."
"No, I have something else to do and I'm leaving first."
Wang Manni felt unhappy and didn't want to stay here any longer. At this moment, she already felt a little regretful.
Her idea is really too simple. How could such a wealthy family easily agree with her?
Yang's mother tried to persuade her to stay several times, but Wang Manni didn't listen at all and left after getting dressed.
As soon as Zhou Chen walked in the door, Yang Ma had already put on slippers for him. He was used to Yang Ma's meticulous care, so he did not refuse.
"Master, Miss Wang left without having breakfast after she woke up."
"what happened?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised. He knew what kind of exertion Wang Manni endured yesterday, why she left so early this morning and recovered so quickly?
Yang's mother recounted what had just happened to Zhou Chen without adding any extraneous details, because she felt that there was nothing wrong with what she did.
After Zhou Chen heard this, he was a little stunned. After carefully recalling it, he found that such a thing really happened.
Although the original person is not married, it does not mean that there are no women. As a large family with more than a hundred years, the Zhou family has its own family rules. The reason for this is also very simple, which is to prevent disputes between direct descendants and concubines.
In today's society, there are few distinctions between direct descendants, but many families with a long history still have this inheritance, and the Zhou family is one of them.
Zhou Chen has lived in several worlds and has never been born into a big family. He really doesn't know much about this aspect.
However, he could understand the reason for the existence of this rule. Brothers could still quarrel over the family property and stay away from each other until death.
If a big family didn't have the distinction of direct descendants, who knows what would happen to such a huge family property.
For the elderly, it is indeed a good thing to have more children and grandchildren, but the prerequisite is that there is no chaos. If there are many children and grandchildren, it will lead to chaos and endless internal fighting. It is better to have only one.
"Mother Yang, there is nothing wrong with what you did. I will take care of her side. Just do your own thing."
One is the servant who has served him for twenty years, and the other is a woman he has just met for a few days. There is no need to say who is closer to him.
Wang Manni arrived at Misia's shop full of anger. The more she thought about what happened today, the more aggrieved she became. She gave herself to Zhou Chen, only to get such humiliation.
For her, taking medicine is a humiliation.
When the deputy store manager came to the store, he wanted to talk to Wang Manni about Zhou Chen, but Wang Manni didn't want to talk about Zhou Chen at all, and just told her tiredly that nothing happened.
It's just that because of the exhaustion from last night and the anger this morning, Wang Manni has been unable to work normally and her mood cannot be stable.
In fact, Wang Manni had been waiting for Zhou Chen to call her and explain to her, but who knew that Zhou Chen never called her from morning to afternoon, let alone explained, which made her feel
More humiliating.
Until next evening.
Wang Manni was sitting in the store in a bad mood. She didn't even stop at the door today, she was just chatting with her colleagues in the store.
Today she sold a bag worth more than 10,000 yuan, and she received very little commission.
As the most profitable package area in the store, this performance is obviously not good.
