Zhou Chen answered the phone and was stunned when he heard this sentence.
Gu Jia was the target of his mission, and he was still patiently waiting for the opportunity to contact Gu Jia, but he didn't expect that Gu Jia would call him before he started taking action.
Although he had given him his business card before, he really didn't think Gu Jia would take the initiative to contact him.
"Hello, Gu Jia."
"It's like this, Zhou Chen, we have just moved into Junyue Mansion and are planning to treat friends to a meal at home. I wonder if you can join us..."
After listening to Gu Jia's explanation, Zhou Chen understood why Gu Jia called him. It turned out to be to celebrate the housewarming.
What just makes him confused is that their relationship has not yet reached the level of friends, but Gu Jia invites him to dinner. Is he asking for something, does he want to get closer to him, or both?
He was confused, but he still answered in the affirmative.
"No problem, what time is it?"
"Two days from now at noon."
"Okay, I will definitely go there then."
Zhou Chen thought for a while. If he was invited to have dinner to celebrate the housewarming, he would definitely bring a gift.
After living for so many years, what gift should be given to him for a housewarming? Naturally, he has a clear family.
Seven things to do before opening the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea. He did not consider the other items and directly chose tea, which was the best.
After making the decision, Zhou Chen asked Zhang Jing to buy tea sets and tea leaves.
Zhang Jing, his secretary, has been really busy recently. Not only does he have to summarize all the company's affairs, but he also has to help him with the rehabilitation center and even help him with personal matters.
Because Zhang Jing is a quick learner, the previous secretary Wu has been transferred away. Worried that she will be too busy, Zhou Chen has approved the addition and asked her to recruit people by herself, either from within the company or from outside.
Zhou Chen wouldn't care about such trivial matters. If he had something to do, he could just ask Zhang Jing to do it. As for Zhang Jing's arrangements, he didn't care, as long as he could get things done.
He is not the kind of stern boss who does things strictly and wants to control everything.
He doesn't have that thought, and he doesn't want to waste that energy. He just needs to control the overall situation, and he won't care too much about the minutiae.
Coincidentally, the day Gu Jia invited him happened to be the day Wang Manni was discharged from the hospital.
Originally, he was planning to pick up Wang Manni, but now he had to give up, but he still asked the driver to pick up Wang Manni from the hospital.
"Ms. Wang, the boss asked me to pick you up from the hospital."
Wang Manni had just packed her things when she saw Zhou Chen's driver, Cao Chengrui, walking in.
Seeing that only Cao Chengrui came over and Zhou Chen did not show up, Wang Manni asked with some disappointment: "Is he busy?"
"The boss has other things to do today, so he asked me to come over."
"I know, it's really troublesome for you."
"This is what I should do."
…………
"I knew you were going to buy fish as house warming gifts."
Seeing the small fish in Chen Yu's hand, Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes. She knew that when this man thought of giving gifts, the first thing he thought of was fish.
Chen Yu is tall and thin, wears glasses, and looks polite. He only has a little stubble around his mouth and chin, and his plain clothes make him look a little slovenly.
"What happened to the fish? This is the best greenhouse gift. It brings life to them. You don't understand it."
His favorite thing in life is fish. In his eyes, no gift can compare to fish. He gives fish to represent his importance.
This couple is indeed a strange couple. One loves fish and the other loves cats. They are natural enemies. It is really not easy for them to become husband and wife.
"Too lazy to tell you."
Zhong Xiaoqin was also used to Chen Yu's problems. Instead of saying anything more, she told you: "I told you in advance that Gu Gu not only invited us this time, she also invited two other people, one is Xu Huanshan
My friend, the other one is also the owner of Junyue Mansion, and he is a super rich man with a very rich background and a net worth of several billion."
Chen Yu asked in surprise: "Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan still know such people?"
In his opinion, although Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan have a little money, they are not inferior to billionaires, but worlds apart.
"What's wrong with knowing such a person? I know that person too, and I even had a conflict with him. He's the one I told you before."
"The one with six parking spaces?"
Chen Yu asked in surprise.
Zhong Xiaoqin is a person who can't hide things. After that incident happened, she told Chen Yu when she went home.
She originally hoped that Chen Yu could fight the injustice for her, but the worst he could do was scold Zhou Chen for being rich and unkind.
But who would have thought that instead of scolding Chen Yu, Chen Yu accused her of not being rigorous in her work and making random phone calls without clarifying anything. She deserved to be punished.
She was so angry that she almost smashed the fish tank at home.
"Yes, that's him. I don't know when Gu Jia met him. He also gave Gu Jia a business card. Chen Yu, you haven't seen it. There are gold and diamonds on that business card. It's very...
A big tycoon."
Thinking of that important business card, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but start complaining.
Chen Yu said: "If you have money, you can do whatever you want. Why are you meddling in so many other things? Now you have to check the parking spaces every day, do you still want to increase the workload?"
"Chen Yu!"
Zhong Xiaoqin yelled angrily: "Am I your wife? Is there anyone like you who doesn't speak for your wife but speaks for outsiders?"
"I'm here to help you with your affairs, not your marriage."
Chen Yu's calm and calm appearance made Zhong Xiaoqin furious again.
"When we get to Gu Gu's house, please stop talking to me."
Zhong Xiaoqin is more worried about Chen Yu. He is relatively straightforward and can say anything. If she offends Zhou Chen unintentionally, she can't imagine the consequences.
"You think everyone is like you."
Chen Yu didn't take Zhong Xiaoqin's words to heart. He was a news editor and had always wanted to be a reporter. He had met all kinds of people and had no shortage of experience in dealing with people.
Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu were the first to arrive at Gu Jia's house. Soon after, Shen Jie also came. He came alone. He was familiar with Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia, but he didn't know Chen Yu and his wife very well. Yes, I just said hello and said a few words.
"Huan Shan, I heard you tell me, there will be a powerful person coming later?"
Before Shen Jie came, he heard Xu Huanshan talk about today's game and knew that their family also invited a very powerful person, but he didn't know the specific situation.
"The person on the 20th floor above us is the chairman of Huaxing Group. Once we met, he gave us a business card. Gu Jia insisted on calling him this time."
"Gu Jia is right. That's how you accumulate connections. Otherwise, if you are like you, you will only focus on design, and it will be difficult for the company to grow and develop."
Shen Jie and Xu Huanshan have known each other for many years, and they are both in the fireworks business. He knows very well how difficult this industry is.
The development of Xu Huanshan's company was mostly due to Gu Jia. Xu Huanshan only provided designs, and he was only the apparent leader.
"Is he the chairman of Huaxing Group? Let me search."
Shen Jie took out his mobile phone and started searching the Internet. Xu Huanshan didn't stop him because he had done similar things before.
After searching, Shen Jie quickly exclaimed: "Huan Shan, are you sure you are the chairman of Huaxing Group?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you scared?" Xu Huanshan asked with a smile.
Shen Jie smacked his lips: "I'm really shocked. Huaxing Group, one of the top pharmaceutical raw material supply companies in Shanghai, with assets of more than 10 billion, is not a listed company. Doesn't that mean that it is just a company with one name?"
There are many large companies in China that have amazing assets but are not listed on the market. Generally, such companies do not need financing. Most of them are controlled by a certain person or a certain force. They do not need financing to expand the company, and they do not want to. Being decentralized.
"Huan Shan, have you met the other party in person?"
"I've seen him before. He's about the same age as us, maybe even younger than us."
"Tsk, tsk, it's really annoying to compare people to each other. We have worked hard for ten years, but we can't even compare to one of the other's fingers."
It's hard to say whether the combined assets of the two of them can exceed 10 billion, but Zhou Chen controls a large group that exceeds 10 billion. If you really want to calculate it, it is really not as good as one of his fingers.
Xu Huanshan sneered and said: "We are different from him. We started from scratch, and he inherited the family business. I heard my wife and best friend said that their family has been passed down for hundreds of years, so they can be as prosperous as they are now. We If I work hard for a hundred years, I will not be worse than him."
Shen Jie laughed loudly: "Your idea of self-comfort is quite good."
At this time, Gu Jia came over, looked at Shen Jie who was laughing, and asked, "What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily."
"We are talking about the guy upstairs in your house. Huan Shan said that if he works hard for hundreds of years, he will definitely not be worse than him."
After hearing Shen Jie's words, Gu Jia said confidently: "It doesn't take a hundred years, as long as we are given twenty or thirty years, we will definitely be able to achieve it."
"Just now I thought Huan Shan was crazy enough, but I didn't expect that this heroine of yours would be even more exaggerated than you."
"That's right, this is my wife. You can't find her even with a lantern."
At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Gu Jia immediately straightened his expression and said, "The real owner is here, please pay attention later."
Suddenly, the expressions of Shen Jie and Chen Yu changed, and they looked at the door expectantly, while Xu Huanshan looked nonchalant.
Gu Jia opened the door and saw Zhou Chen standing at the door. He immediately said with a smile on his face: "Zhou Chen, you are here."
"I'm sorry, I have something to do and I'm late. Didn't I delay you?"
Zhou Chen is actually the closest, but he didn't come so early, mainly because he was not too familiar with Gu Jia and the others. If he came too early, would Gu Jia be cooking and asking him to chat with Xu Huanshan?
"No, no, we haven't started yet. You're not too late. It will probably take a while before we can eat."
Gu Jia smiled and welcomed Zhou Chen in, "We didn't call anyone today, just two friends of Huan Shan and me."
Zhou Chen followed Gu Jia into the house and saw a few people standing in the living room. One of them was Xu Huanshan. In addition, there were two men and one woman. He also knew the woman, who was Zhong Xiaoqin.
"Mr. Xu, congratulations on your housewarming. A small gift cannot be considered respectful."
Zhou Chen first said hello to Xu Huanshan, and then handed him the packed tea set in his hand.
Although Xu Huanshan had a little resistance to Zhou Chen, he certainly wouldn't show it. He declined with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, it's our honor for you to come. It's really very polite of you to bring any gifts."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's a housewarming celebration. If I didn't bring a gift, I wouldn't have the nerve to come over. Mr. Xu, don't be too polite. We are all neighbors upstairs and downstairs. We will get along with each other for a long time in the future."
"Huan Shan, Zhou Chen is right, we are all neighbors, so just accept it."
As soon as Gu Jia opened his mouth, Xu Huanshan stopped being polite and thanked Zhou Chen before officially accepting the gift.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a tea set. It didn't look cheap.
Gu Jia introduced others to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, this is Shen Jie. Huan Shan and my friend are in the same industry as us and are also in the fireworks business."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Shen Jie is very enthusiastic. He is smarter than Xu Huanshan. Even if a super rich man like him fails to do business, becoming a friend will still be a kind of capital in the future.
"It is really an honor for me to know Mr. Zhou."
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shen Jie: "Mr. Shen, you're welcome. I think people in the fireworks industry must be people who understand romance. But I can't do it. I don't understand romance at all, so I'm still a bachelor now." one."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou is joking, you are just being picky."
Shen Jie originally thought that a rich man like Zhou Chen would be very serious and solemn, but Zhou Chen's sudden joke made him feel better.
Several other people could not help but laugh. They would not believe Zhou Chen's words.
With Zhou Chen's net worth, it is hard to find any kind of woman. The reason why he is not married must be that he has not met the right one.
After saying hello to Shen Jie, Gu Jia pointed at Zhong Xiaoqin and introduced: "Zhou Chen, you must be familiar with this, right? This is my best friend Zhong Xiaoqin. I heard that she offended you unintentionally last time. Today I am trying to be a peacemaker and I hope you can forgive her. She is very confused and does things even more confused, so she offends you unintentionally."
Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and said: "I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect that you two are still friends. In this case, I must give you this face. Miss Zhong, the matter last time has been revealed in this way. There will be no need for the parking space in the future." You're staring, I'm troubling you during this time."
Zhong Xiaoqin quickly said: "No, it was my fault in the first place, and I deserve to be punished. Mr. Zhou, you're welcome."
"Zhou Chen, this is Zhong Xiaoqin's husband, Chen Yu, Mr. Chen is the editor of the TV station, and his articles are very good."
Gu Jia knew that people like Zhou Chen would not talk empty talk. Now that he had said it, he would definitely not target Zhong Xiaoqin again, so he did not say any more and introduced Chen Yu to Zhou Chen. .
Zhou Chen originally wanted to say hello immediately, but suddenly there was a movement in the system.
"Encounter the main plot characters and trigger the mission."
"Task 4: A successful career: Chen Yu is in a period when his talents are not appreciated. Help Chen Yu to achieve success in his career. There will never be a family status where women are strong and men are weak."
Zhou Chen never expected that when he met Chen Yu, he would actually provide him with a task.
However, the content of this mission quite suggested that he should be a good person and a holy mother, and help Chen Yu unconditionally.
Zhou Chen, who has watched the TV series, knows very well what kind of person Chen Yu is.
In the family, he is definitely not a good husband, but at work, he is still conscientious.
It is definitely not easy to go from a small place to work hard in a magical city and still own a house of your own.
From a female perspective, Chen Yu is definitely a scumbag. She feels that such a person should not get married. He is cold and violent all day long. Anyway, for women, they can tell 10,000 things wrong with Chen Yu.
From a male perspective, Chen Yu's various behaviors are actually understandable, especially for those married men, many people can understand it.
Because there are too many such men in real society. They were not like this at the beginning, but were slowly forced to become like this.
It is true to say that Chen Yu does not understand romance and cannot coax women, but it was not like this at the beginning. It can be seen that Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin were very affectionate at the beginning, and he has done a lot for Zhong Xiaoqin.
It's just that as time went by, the passion was gone. He used actions more to express his feelings and was less willing to speak. But Zhong Xiaoqin was so confused that he couldn't see the good things about Chen Yu at all.
But this cannot be said to be him alone, Zhong Xiaoqin also has many problems.
Anyway, for a woman, it is not okay for a man to be violent domestically or cold-bloodedly. He has to be around her all day long, coaxing her, apologizing when things don't go his way, and praising her when things go well. Only then can he be considered a good man.
In short, there is one sentence: as long as the marriage is unhappy, it is mostly the man's fault. In the end, it is the woman who bears everything alone...
This task is not difficult for Zhou Chen. With his current status, it is a very simple matter to help Chen Yu.
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind. With a smile on his face, he shook hands with Chen Yu.
"Teacher Chen, hello, being a screenwriter for a TV station is a good job. People without literary talent will definitely not be able to do it well. Teacher Chen must have very good literary talent."
Chen Yu said modestly: "No, I don't have much literary talent. I just got lucky and happened to enter this unit."
"To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to be a writer, and I have written a lot of novels and poems. Unfortunately, I had to give up writing just to inherit the family business, so I really envy people like Chen
A man of literary talent like the teacher."
"Yeah?"
When Chen Yu heard this, he was also interested: "How can a busy person like you still have time to write?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That was all in the past, now I can't do it anymore, I can't write it anymore."
Chen Yu said: "People like you are well-informed. If you really have time to write, you will definitely be able to write good articles."
"Teacher Chen, you deserve the reward."
"No, tell the truth."
Seeing Chen Yu and Zhou Chen chatting enthusiastically, Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned.
There's something wrong with this style of painting. Doesn't her husband talk very little? How can she still be so close to a wealthy man like Zhou Chen?
Not to mention her, even Gu Jia was surprised.
"Zhou Chen, Teacher Chen, it seems you have found a common topic."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I would also like to thank you for letting me get to know Teacher Chen."
Chen Yu said politely: "It is my honor to meet you, Mr. Zhou."
At this time, Gu Jia's nanny, Sister Chen, came over.
"Jiajia, everything is ready and can be served."
So, Gu Jia immediately asked everyone to sit down.
