Chapter 343: The mysterious Zhou family comes to ask for medicine
Mrs. Li's words made several ladies present show expressions of surprise.
Mrs. Yu said: "I know Huaxing Group. I heard my husband talk about it, but which family is the Zhou family? Does Huaxing Group belong to this Zhou family?"
She had only joined the Yu family not long ago, and she was just an eighteenth-tier starlet before, and her understanding of the upper class society was quite rare.
But it wasn't just her, several other ladies also looked suspicious.
Mrs. Liu said: "Huaxing Group is one of the top medicinal companies in our city, and it is also well-known in the industry. Their chairman is indeed named Zhou, but the Zhou family can be considered a family?"
For these powerful wives, a family is different from a nouveau riche. Only those who have been passed down for several generations can be considered a family. The rich generation has just emerged at best, and most of them are nouveau riche.
Mrs. Li behaves elegantly. She is indeed much better than the other wives. At least she can see the aristocratic temperament of the upper class in her body, and her every move has been strictly trained.
"You don't know that it's normal for the Zhou family, because the previous generations of the Zhou family were not local to the Magic City, but moved from other places. But don't underestimate the Zhou family. Their family inheritance is not bad compared to our family. I'm afraid
With hundreds of years of history, the Huaxing Group you know is just their apparent business."
"As far as I know, in addition to the supply of medicinal materials from Huaxing Group, their family has also bought several mountains. I don't know more about it, but the heritage of a family that can be passed down for hundreds of years is far beyond your imagination.
.”
"It is said that the ancestors of the Zhou family were imperial doctors in the palace. For several generations, their main business has been related to doctors and medicinal materials. However, the Zhou family is very low-key, and today's direct descendants are even sparse, so you don't know that Zhou
The existence of home.”
"But if you want to talk about which place in East China has the most precious medicinal materials, I can tell you with certainty that it must be the Zhou family. Hundreds of years of inheritance have always been related to medicine. If they don't have precious medicinal materials in their hands, do you think it's possible?
?"
Mrs. Li usually doesn't talk much and always maintains a superior look. This is the first time Gu Jia has seen her talk so much in one breath.
Especially what she said, she only knew that Zhou Chen was very rich, but she didn't expect that the Zhou family was so prominent. If it were placed in ancient times, he would definitely be a high-ranking official.
Mrs. Ma's eyes became brighter and brighter: "If this is the case, then the Zhou family must have century-old wild ginseng. When I get back, I will ask my husband to buy medicine from Huaxing Group."
Mrs. Li glanced at her lightly: "Do you really think you can buy it if you have money? The Zhou family has a deep foundation and is not short of this money. If they don't want to sell, no matter how much money you get, they won't.
It might be possible to buy it.”
Mrs. Ma said confidently: "Mrs. Li, since you know the Zhou family, you must know who is the head of the Zhou family now, right? My husband has a wide network of contacts, and maybe he can know people from the Zhou family."
"This generation of the Zhou family is sparse, and something happened midway. The current head of the family is a young man. I saw him once at a private party. He was indeed a young and handsome young man."
Mrs. Li recalled the original situation and couldn't help but admired it.
Ma Taitian immediately asked happily: "Mrs. Li, you have seen that person before. He must be familiar. I wonder if you can introduce him to us?"
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I've just met him before, but I'm not familiar with him. If you want to buy medicine from Zhou's family, I think you'd better find another way."
The Zhou family's Huaxing Group has already exceeded 10 billion, and it is all in the hands of the Zhou family, not to mention the other industries of the Zhou family.
In terms of wealth, he is actually richer than their family, and his background is even deeper than theirs.
If their old man was sick and needed old wild ginseng, she might come to ask for help, but although she knew Mrs. Ma's father-in-law, she still didn't want to do it.
Mrs. Ma looked disappointed and could only ask: "Mrs. Li, do you know the situation of the head of the Zhou family? For example, where does he live?"
Mrs. Li said: "This man's name is Zhou Chen. He should be around thirty years old now. As for where he lives, I really don't know."
"That's it. It seems I can only ask my husband to come forward."
Mrs. Ma was very disappointed. In fact, she wanted to take action herself. If she could get the century-old wild ginseng and save the old man, her husband and parents-in-law would definitely look at her differently.
It's a pity that she doesn't know any useful information now.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "I think you should just go to Huaxing Group to visit. Maybe the other party will be willing to give you this face?"
Mrs. Ma glanced at Mrs. Liu dissatisfiedly. Although this was a method, the success rate was too low, and her face was not that great.
And if her husband was asked to go, it would be fine if Zhou Chen agreed, but if he didn't agree, where would her husband's face go?
People like them often live just for the sake of face. If they don't get it, they have to lose face. It's not easy for people like them who are pampered to do so.
Of course, it is not absolute. Some filial people will definitely not care about their own face. Even if it is embarrassing, they will try it.
"hehe."
At this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, which made Mrs. Ma, who was already very unhappy, look at her fiercely.
"Mrs. Wang, are you gloating?"
Mrs. Wang put away her smile and said, "No, I was just laughing. What a coincidence, the Zhou family member you are looking for, Zhou Chen, happens to be me who knows where he lives."
Mrs. Ma's fierce expression suddenly faded, and she asked eagerly: "Where does he live?"
Huaxing Group cannot go to the crowded and crowded Huaxing Group, but if we can come to visit, even if we are rejected, no one will know.
Others also looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise. In their eyes, she was a nouveau riche and a country bumpkin. Such a person actually knew the Zhou family that had a long history?
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "If you are talking about Zhou Chen from Huaxing Group, then he should live downstairs from me."
"Junyue Mansion?" Mrs. Li asked in surprise.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Yes, I am the president of the property owners committee of Junyue Mansion, so I know the situation of the owners. Zhou Chen lives on the 20th floor below me, but I have only seen him for so long.
I've passed him once or twice, and he doesn't seem to live there much."
Mrs. Li said: "This is normal. People like him can't just own a house. Maybe Junyue Mansion is just for fun and to live in occasionally."
Gu Jia was clicking her tongue beside her. A house worth hundreds of millions was actually said to be bought for play. Is it really considered a toy for a child?
"Then where does he live now?" Mrs. Ma asked again.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "So it's a coincidence. I met his nanny when I was taking the elevator before, and I heard that he seems to live there permanently now."
"Very good."
Mrs. Ma was immediately excited. Knowing where they lived, they had a direction.
"I will ask my husband to go to Junyue Mansion when I get back."
Listening to the discussions of these ladies, Gu Jia did not reveal the fact that she knew Zhou Chen, although she wanted to stand out in front of these ladies and let them look down upon her.
But she is still self-aware. Although she and Zhou Chen know each other, their friendship is not deep. How could she be able to influence Zhou Chen with such a precious medicinal material as century-old wild ginseng.
However, after these wives' discussions, she had a new view on Zhou Chen.
In the past, she just thought Zhou Chen was rich, but now it seems that Zhou Chen is not only rich, but also very well-connected, and is much more advanced than she thought.
The only pity is that Zhou Chen's family's business does not require fireworks at all, otherwise it would have solved their urgent need.
The rehabilitation center is already busy, and other staff, such as teachers, childcare workers, cleaners, etc., can be easily recruited.
The more troublesome thing is the person in charge.
Zhou Chen can arrange courses and education plans, but it is impossible to stay there every day, so there must be a responsible and capable manager to shoulder this heavy responsibility and cooperate well with him.
It's just that it's not that easy to find someone who suits your needs. This line of work is not easy and requires you to face huge pressure. Not everyone has the ability and patience.
In fact, Zhou Chen already has a good candidate in mind, and that is Gu Jia.
Needless to say, Gu Jia's ability. If Xu Huanshan's fireworks company is able to operate, the success of the Six and Seven Years will go to Gu Jia.
And Gu Jia is also a very patient person, which can be seen when she faces her son.
Only those who have become parents can understand that adults are often the least patient with their own children, but more patient with other people's children.
If Gu Jialai were to be the person in charge of the rehabilitation center, Zhou Chen would feel more at ease.
What's more, letting Gu Jia be the person in charge is not only for public reasons, but also partly for personal reasons.
The selfishness is naturally for Gu Jia. Don’t look at the fact that Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan are now in love, but that’s because Gu Jia is behind Xu Huanshan’s back, helping him deal with household chores. He doesn’t have to worry about anything and only needs to be busy with the company.
Things will be fine.
Once Gu Jia becomes busy and has no time to take care of her family, there will definitely be a gap between the two.
After all, a person's energy is limited. No matter how capable Gu Jia is, at the beginning of the rehabilitation center, there will definitely be countless things to do, and there will be no time to help Xu Huanshan deal with things.
If Xu Huanshan has any problems again, such as cheating or something, the relationship between the two of them will definitely break down quickly.
This is also Zhou Chen's plan, but the premise of all this is that Gu Jia is willing to serve as the manager of the rehabilitation center.
Because he was not absolutely sure, Zhou Chen had not yet invited Gu Jia. He was waiting for the opportunity, or waiting for their relationship to get better before making this suggestion.
So far, a total of four tasks have appeared, and one has been completed. Zhou Chen also has his own plans for the remaining three tasks.
Needless to say, Chen Yu has already started and completing the task is a matter of course.
The task of a philanthropist, as long as the rehabilitation center is opened, even if it requires a lot of money, Zhou Chen can complete the task.
Only for the task of being a father, one must capture Gu Jia's heart so that she can willingly let her son call him a father.
People's hearts are the most unpredictable, so Zhou Chen doesn't try things easily in case he offends Gu Jia, so he can only wait patiently for the opportunity.
According to the plot, the day when Gu Jia and his family take over the fireworks project in the park should not be far away, and Lin Youyou, who has been scolded by the entire Internet, should also appear soon.
As soon as Lin You showed up, Zhou Chen's plan was half completed. He had a magical skill in bringing men and women together, and he was waiting for the two newcomers.
Zhou Chen is writing and drawing in his notebook. He is making a teaching plan for the rehabilitation center.
As one of the first-class children's expert doctors in the country, he is definitely a professional among professionals when it comes to rehabilitation. This teaching plan is not difficult for him, but if he wants to teach it to teachers and ask them to teach according to his tutorials, just
Not an easy thing anymore.
After all, others did not have his Martian language skills, so he had to carefully prepare a teaching plan in a normal way.
While he was serious, his cell phone suddenly rang. Without raising his head, he just slid his hand and answered the call.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Xiao Song from the property downstairs. There are two guests who said they were introduced by Mrs. Wang on the 21st floor. They want to visit you. Could you please let them go up?"
"Introduced by Mrs. Wang?"
Zhou Chen put down the pen in his hand, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Who is he?"
"It's a man and a woman, Mr. Ma and his wife."
Zhou Chen was sure that he didn't know these two people, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the property manager to call and mentioned Mrs. Wang.
"Let them come up."
He decided to give Mrs. Wang some face. He didn't care about Mrs. Wang, but her husband was an impression in his memory.
Mr. Wang is in the real estate business, and he is not limited to Shanghai. He has investments all over the country, and the assets he holds are amazing.
The reason why Mrs. Wang and her family were able to buy the top floor of Junyue Mansion was also because of their connections.
For the next period of time, he would have to live here without looking up, so he decided to give Mrs. Wang this face.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Zhou Chen walked over and opened the door.
I saw a man and a woman standing at the door. The man was wearing a straight suit and looked impressive, while the woman was wearing a bright red dress and carrying a brand-name bag.
Zhou Chen asked the two strangers straight to the point: "Two of you, we haven't met before, right? The property management said that you were introduced by Mrs. Wang. I wonder what you want to see me for?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. My surname is Ma. This is my wife. We are here today because we have something to ask you for help."
The middle-aged man named Ma has a very sincere attitude and does not look down on Zhou Chen because of his age. He seems to be a well-educated man.
"Then come in and talk."
It was impolite to let the guests talk outside, so although Zhou Chen didn't know what the purpose of these two people was, he still let them into the room.
Zhou Chen has been observing these two people and found that they were not shocked by the luxurious decoration of his home, which showed that the other party was not an ordinary person.
"Mr. Ma, Mrs. Ma, please sit down."
Zhou Chen led the two of them to the sofa and sat down, and then asked: "Mr. Ma, I heard from the property manager that you were introduced by Mrs. Wang. Are you familiar with Mrs. Wang?"
Mr. Ma said: "My wife often hangs out with Mrs. Wang. We have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship, so I asked Mrs. Wang to help her."
"I see."
Zhou Chen nodded. He understood the identities of these two people. This Mrs. Ma should be a member of the circle of wives.
"Mr. Ma, we are not acquainted. You just asked me to help you with something, which I don't quite understand. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Mrs. Ma winked at Mr. Ma, and Mr. Ma said calmly: "Mr. Zhou, it's like this. My father has a heart disease. He had a heart attack some time ago. It was quite serious. He finally got through it.
But now my health is still not very good.”
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Mr. Ma, I am not a doctor. The old gentleman is sick, why are you looking for me?"
He was indeed a doctor in the last world, but no one in this world knows how these two people found him.
"Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood."
Seeing that Zhou Chen had misunderstood what he meant, Mr. Ma quickly explained: "We are not looking for you to ask you for medical treatment, but to ask for a medicine from you."
"Ask for medicine."
Zhou Chen was relieved now. His family was in the medicine business, so it was normal for him to come to him for medicine.
However, these two people came to the door in person. I am afraid they are not looking for ordinary medicinal materials. Otherwise, they can be purchased elsewhere.
"I wonder what medicinal materials Mr. Ma needs?"
He didn't guarantee it. After all, he wasn't familiar with these two people. Who knew what medicinal materials they wanted.
Mr. Ma asked expectantly: "Old wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old."
Zhou Chen was startled, and then looked at the two people with strange eyes.
Is it okay? The century-old wild ginseng is an extremely precious medicinal material. Even if it is available, who would be willing to give it to others?
"Mr. Ma, who told you that I have wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old here?"
Mr. Ma said: "Mr. Zhou, your Zhou family is a well-known family in the Magic City. We have also heard that the Zhou family has been in the medicinal materials business for generations. You must have precious medicinal materials that are not available outside, so we will
Found here, please help me."
Mrs. Ma then added: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, as long as you have it here, we are willing to buy it no matter how much it costs."
Zhou Chen glanced at Mrs. Ma, and Mr. Ma's expression changed even more, and he gave her a fierce look, angered by his wife's stupidity.
When Mrs. Ma saw her husband's expression, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She had been so impatient that she had ignored Zhou Chen's identity. How could Zhou Chen care about that little money?
Zhou Chen said: "Mr. Ma, I'm really sorry. If you had come a few years earlier, we could have helped you, but now, our only remaining old wild ginseng has been used, so we really can't help you."
Already."
He is a doctor, and he is very aware of the preciousness of wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. How can such a thing that has the potential to save lives be sold casually, and he does not lack that little money.
Mr. Ma was anxious: "Mr. Zhou, my wife can't speak. Don't be angry. My father is in danger. Please help me."
Zhou Chen said: "Mr. Ma, I also want to help, but I really don't have any inventory in hand. If you want other medicinal materials, I might be able to help you find them. But the century-old wild ginseng is really difficult to find now."
If not, you can ask other people, maybe others may have it."
"Mr. Zhou..."
Zhou Chen stood up, looked at the time, and said, "Mr. Ma, I'm really sorry. I have to catch a flight tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early. If it's convenient..."
