Chapter three hundred and fiftieth eight: the self-loving Xu family couple
Xu Ziyan's sudden appearance interrupted the quarrel between Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan. Although the two were resentful of each other, they still restrained themselves very well in front of their children.
"Ziyan, will your mother sleep with you tonight, okay?"
Gu Jia did not go to see Xu Huanshan again. No matter how loving a couple is, they will never look good when they quarrel.
Xu Ziyan shouted happily: "Is it true, Mom, you haven't slept with me for a long time."
"Mom will sleep with you tonight."
As Gu Jia said this, she picked up Xu Ziyan and walked into Xu Ziyan's room without even looking at Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan watched the mother and son walk into the room, and the anger in his heart did not dissipate, because Gu Jia's attitude was very clear. Even if he said those words, Gu Jia still seemed not ready to give up the job.
The angry Xu Huanshan couldn't help but think of Lin Youyou, who had had a relationship with him, and thought that if Lin Youyou had a relationship, he would definitely obey him and respect him.
Because of Lin Youyou's obedience and admiration in the past few days, Xu Huanshan's psychology changed. He missed that feeling a little, and Gu Jia's strength made him very dissatisfied.
While Gu Jia was coaxing Xu Ziyan to sleep, she was also thinking about the quarrel just now.
She admitted that she was too busy to take care of her family during this period, but she was not relaxed either. Although she wanted to move forward, in the final analysis, it was for the sake of her family.
Is it wrong to be dissatisfied with the status quo and want to work hard to move forward?
Zhou Chen came to Chenxing feeling refreshed. Chenxing was the name he gave to this rehabilitation school. Although it was a bad name, he was used to it.
After arriving at Chenxing, he keenly discovered something was wrong with Gu Jia.
In the past, Gu Jia was full of energy and vitality every time, but today, Gu Jia looked worried, and there seemed to be unbreakable sorrow between her brows.
"Gu Jia, what's wrong? Are you worried?"
Seeing Zhou Chen again and facing Zhou Chen's concerned inquiry, Gu Jia felt uncomfortable because she thought of what Xu Huanshan said yesterday.
When she listened to it at the time, she thought what Xu Huanshan said was simply ridiculous, but when she thought about it afterwards, she realized that something was not quite right.
It stands to reason that a rich man like Zhou Chen would not be able to respond to her every request. On the contrary, Mrs. Wang and other ladies reacted more normally to her.
"Does Zhou Chen really have feelings for me..."
Gu Jia didn't dare to continue thinking about it because it made her feel flustered.
She has a good relationship with Xu Huanshan, so naturally she is not interested in Zhou Chen.
But if a man as good as Zhou Chen is really interested in her, she will only feel awkward, but not disgusting.
Because Zhou Chen was different from the previous Mr. Wan, Zhou Chen just helped her silently and didn't do anything to her on the surface. If Xu Huanshan hadn't said it, she really wouldn't have felt it.
It's just that she thought Zhou Chen was in love with her, but she didn't know that was not the case at all. Zhou Chen only helped her to complete the task.
If I say I like her a little bit, it's true, but it definitely has nothing to do with love.
So, both of them are really a bit too sentimental.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have too many things to do recently and am a bit too busy."
Of course, Gu Jia would not reveal her own affairs. After she calmed down, she found an excuse to deal with it.
Zhou Chen knew at a glance that Gu Jia was not telling the truth, but he still said with concern: "If you feel tired, you can rest for two days, and I will just keep an eye on you."
"Need not."
Gu Jia shook his head and said, "I just haven't gone to work for a long time and I don't get used to it for a while. It's okay. I will adjust soon."
In fact, after she knew that he might have feelings for her, she had been hesitating whether to give up this job.
But after thinking about it for a long time, she was still not willing to give up, because after so many days, she already had a certain understanding of this job, and she still liked it better.
More importantly, Zhou Chen gave her enough. The annual salary he directly gave her, and other benefits have not been sorted out yet, but they will definitely not be less.
So it seemed like she was helping Zhou Chen, but if we really counted, she still got a bargain, because what Zhou Chen gave her was enough to find a professional person in charge outside.
It was precisely because of this day that she felt guilty and hesitated whether to leave, but in the end she chose to stay.
This job is decent, pays well, and has great challenges. As her first job after breaking away from being a housewife, it is absolutely a perfect choice.
Zhou Chen comforted: "We have just started here, we need time to test it, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Um."
Gu Jia is quite confused now. She doesn't know what attitude she should use to face Zhou Chen.
If Zhou Chen really has thoughts about her, will her enthusiasm make Zhou Chen think that she is giving him a chance?
But if her attitude is too cold, she will not be able to get along with Zhou Chen, so she is very confused now and can only pretend not to know anything, as always.
As the days passed, the relationship between Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan was tense at first because of this incident, but Gu Jia was really a master at training husbands, and it didn't take long before she was able to coax Xu Huanshan back to good terms.
It's just that Gu Jia thought she was fine, but she didn't know that Xu Huanshan already had a problem. He now chats with Lin Youyou every day, and the more he talks, the more explicit he becomes.
If it was before, he really wouldn't have dared to be so unscrupulous, but now because Gu Jia is very busy, he can't even take care of his family much, let alone take care of him or check his mobile phone.
Gu Jia thought that Xu Huanshan had acquiesced in her work, but Xu Huanshan's idea was to be optimistic about Gu Jia, and then hook up with Lin Youyou.
Although he felt that Zhou Chen had thoughts about his wife, he knew Gu Jia and knew that Gu Jia was unlikely to go out of his way, but he would still test it from time to time and check Gu Jia's mobile phone, just in case.
He can cheat, but he will never tolerate his wife cheating, so he must guard against Zhou Chen and Gu Jia.
Because Gu Jia worked in a rehabilitation center and her schedule was very tight, she didn't have time to go to the wife circle. She only went there once in the past ten days.
Those ladies learned that Gu Jia actually went to work in Zhou Chen's rehabilitation center, and was the top leader as soon as he took office. They all congratulated Gu Jia on the surface, but secretly they all mocked Gu Jia, saying that Gu Jia relied on Zhou Chen to get to the position, and thought that the two of them must
Got it together.
Don't think that the quality of these rich people's wives must be high. In fact, they are often no different from rural aunts. When it comes to gossip, they have no quality at all.
Gu Jia knew a thing or two about these wives' gossips from Mrs. Wang, but she didn't care at all.
Her idea is very simple, just to strengthen herself.
If you don't feel angry with me today, I will make it impossible for you to reach high tomorrow.
These days, Zhou Chen spends his nights in the villa where Zhao Jingyu lives, living a life without shame. Zhao Jingyu is completely conquered by him.
Of course, for Zhao Jingyu, such a life is what she dreams of. She has been with Liang Zhengxian for so long, and she has never been so happy.
Zhou Chen's physical strength seemed to be endless, and he could make her enjoy herself every time. Moreover, Zhou Chen was very kind to her. He arranged a car when she went out during the day and gave her a bank card.
Millions have been received.
For Zhao Jingyu, her life was so fast, she had money, a car and a house, and she didn't have to worry about this or that all day long. It was much easier than when she was with Liang Zhengxian.
During this period, Linda sent messages to Zhou Chen twice, saying that she wanted to come over, but Zhou Chen rejected her both times.
He was already disgusted with Linda, but now that he has Zhao Jingyu, he naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to Linda.
That night, three best friends, Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni, got together for a rare occasion.
Recently, because Gu Jia was too busy, the three of them as a group of best friends had not gotten together. This time it was rare that they were all free, so they got together.
"Gu Gu, I heard from Chen Yu that you are very busy recently and don't even have much time to spend with Ziyan. Why are you working so hard?"
Although Chen Yu has been away from home recently, he often returns to the rehabilitation center, so he is relatively familiar with Gu Jia's situation.
Gu Jiadao: "When you get into this position, you have to take responsibility. Busyness is only temporary. Once you get on the right track, you will definitely feel much more relaxed."
Zhong Xiaoqin muttered: "If you want to get on the right track, I don't know that you have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."
Gu Jiadao: "Xiaoqin, don't underestimate us. Our school has just opened, but in the past few days, more than two hundred people have signed up, and the number continues to rise."
Zhong Xiaoqin said: "I know this, but I heard Chen Yu say that it is because it is free that so many parents of children sign up."
Wang Manni asked in astonishment: "Gu Jia, are you free of charge?"
She had heard two people talking about Chenxing Rehabilitation School before and knew that it was for charity, but she never expected that it would be free of charge.
"Yes, tuition and teaching supplies are all free, but lunch is charged."
You can stay at school for lunch, but you have to pay for lunch. This is Zhou Chen's decision.
He didn't expect lunch to make money, but he felt that it was impossible to get rid of everything. He was doing charity, not serving an uncle. If lunch was even free, he didn't know how many problems would arise.
Wang Manni ignored the lunch and said in shock: "If it's all free, how much will it cost?"
Gu Jiadao: "So far, more than 200 million have been spent on buying houses and land, and there will be more in the future."
"More than 200 million."
This number shocked both Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin. They really didn't dare to think about the concept of more than 200 million.
Especially Wang Manni, she had worked with Zhou Chen before. She knew that Zhou Chen was very generous, but she never expected that Zhou Chen could be so generous.
In order to do charity, she spent more than 200 million at the beginning, and it will continue to increase in the future. If she still follows Zhou Chen, then...
Wang Manni didn't dare to think about it anymore. She was afraid that if she thought about it any more, her intestines would turn green.
Gu Jia was chatting with her two best friends. She wanted to tell her her biggest worry recently, but after thinking about it, she still didn't.
Because this world is not a trivial matter, no matter how much she trusts her best friend, if word gets out accidentally, it will not be a good thing for either her or Zhou Chen.
Wang Manni is also complaining: "I have been very unlucky recently. First I met a scumbag, then I lost the assistant store manager, and now I am being ridden by a junior. I am really unlucky. I almost feel sorry for this city."
Lost hope."
Thinking of her recent experiences, she felt depressed. The position of deputy store manager, which she had the best chance of getting, was snatched away by an airborne woman.
Although she now has the position of sales manager, in fact, her promotion can only be regarded as average, and at most she is a little better than before. In fact, she is still a counter girl.
"No, Manni, you can't lose hope in life. This city is not that bad."
Zhong Xiaoqin persuaded Wang Manni that she really regarded Wang Manni as her best friend. It was not as much as Gu Jia thought, it was just pure friendship.
Wang Manni's sorrow disappeared and she turned to smile and said: "I just said casually, if I really lost hope, I would have gone back to my hometown a few years ago. Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
She has been living in the magic city for so many years, and she really doesn't want to go back to her hometown. That would make her feel embarrassed and is not the life she pursues.
"Xiaoqin, you are still the happiest now."
Gu Jia also nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoqin is the happiest now."
"No way."
Zhong Xiaoqin shook his head and complained: "It's not what you think at all. I'm miserable now, okay?"
"You don't know, I have been vomiting for several months. I can't eat rice at all. I vomit when I eat it. I can only eat liquid food. I feel like vomiting when I smell fishy smell. It's very uncomfortable."
"And Chen Yu, he's always running out recently and has no home at all. I've moved to my parents' place now, and my parents take care of me every day."
Wang Manni said with envy: "Are you miserable? I really envy you. You are the happiest when you have your family by your side."
"Manni is right, Xiaoqin, I think you have misunderstood the word miserable. Look, you are happier than us now." Gu Jia tapped the melon seeds on Zhong Xiaoqin's head.
Zhong Xiaoqin muttered: "No, I think I'm quite miserable now. I'm very cautious in everything I do. I don't even put on light makeup. I have to be controlled even if I eat ice cream. There are so many more. I'm miserable, okay?"
.”
"This is something every woman has to go through, and it cannot be said to be miserable."
As someone who has come before, Gu Jia said to Zhong Xiaoqin.
"I really envy you two. I feel happy when I see you."
Both of her best friends had families, but she was still alone. It was difficult to even survive in the magical city. Wang Manni couldn't help but feel sad.
Gu Jia looked at the sad Wang Manni and advised: "Marriage has the benefits of being married, and being single has the benefits of being single. Married people are not necessarily happy. In fact, we envy you now. You are so good alone, but not so good."
What a shame."
Zhong Xiaoqin also agreed: "Yes, Gu Gu is right, Manni, I think you will be able to find your own happiness."
"I hope so, I don't have much hope myself."
Zhou Chen returned to Junyue Mansion early. He did not go to Zhao Jingyu's place today because it was inconvenient for Zhao Jingyu today and he would definitely not be able to run a red light. So out of sight, out of mind, he returned to Junyue Mansion alone.
But this is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that Yang Ma told him yesterday that Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang upstairs came to visit and might come again today, so he returned to Junyue Mansion and wanted to
Look what Mrs. Wang and her husband want from him.
They all live in the same building, upstairs and downstairs, and they don't look up or down. Moreover, Mr. Wang is also a very powerful real estate tycoon. If you take the initiative to visit him, he will definitely come out to receive you.
After dinner, Zhou Chen waited at home for a while, and sure enough, Mrs. Wang and her husband on the 20th floor knocked on his door.
This was not the first time that the two parties met. After Zhou Chen welcomed the two of them in, he asked Yang's mother to serve two cups of tea. Then Zhou Chen started chatting with Mrs. Wang's husband, Wang Chong, while Mrs. Wang said nothing.
Sitting next to him.
"Speaking of which, our two families live upstairs and downstairs. We should be very close neighbors, but we haven't gotten together for such a long time. It's really a pity."
Junyue Mansion is a high-end community. In fact, buying a house here is not only to live in it, but also to make connections.
Mrs. Wang is the president of the Junyue Mansion Owners Committee. She is quite familiar with the situation of many homes in Junyue Mansion. Many people have asked them for help, but they are not very familiar with Zhou Chen.
Facing the polite Wang Chong, Zhou Chen also replied very politely: "Mr. Wang's career is so big, and flying around the country is much busier than idlers like us."
Wang Chong said modestly: "Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. Although I have made some achievements in recent years, compared with your Zhou family, I'm still far behind."
"Our Zhou family only relies on the glory of our ancestors. A self-made man like you, Mr. Wang, has nothing to be proud of."
Although Zhou Chen also relied on his own ability to reach the peak several times, he relied on the ability of the system, while Wang Chong relied on his own hands. Without the system, he would be far inferior to Wang Chong.
After a few words of humility to each other, Zhou Chen took the initiative and asked: "Mr. Wang, I wonder if you have anything to do with your visit this time?"
He didn't believe that the Wang family and his wife would come to him for no reason. There must be something going on.
But he had no contact with the Wang family, so he couldn't figure out their purpose.
