Chapter 402: Eight years later, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying
After staying in the orphanage for one night, Zhou Chen left the orphanage the next day and prepared to go home for the New Year.
"Yes, I put it away. Auntie dean, just accept it. I can make money now. This money is my heart. If you are reluctant to use it, then use it for the welfare home."
"Okay, okay, I know, then it will be considered as my donation. I will come back to see you next time."
Zhou Chen put down the phone helplessly, knowing that the dean's aunt would call.
Because before he left, he left a check for one million in the dean's office. The reason why he did not give it in person was because he knew that Xie Yajing would not accept it.
Now he came up with a move to kill first and then show off. Even if she didn't agree, she could only pinch her nose and accept it.
"If you have money or not, go home to celebrate the New Year, hey, go home to celebrate the New Year..."
Zhou Chen was humming a song and driving the car leisurely towards Yong City.
…………
Zhou Chen used the money he earned during the financial crisis to make various investments. In addition to finance, his first project was the mobile phone industry.
I started in the industry in 2008. I first acquired a mobile phone manufacturer, started with mid-to-low-end mobile phones, and slowly developed to high-end mobile phones.
Early mobile phones did not require investment in scientific research, but Zhou Chen still established his own scientific research department and began to research internal parts of mobile phones that could not be developed independently in China.
In addition to the mobile phone industry, Zhou Chen has also entered the Internet industry, such as scarves, games, etc.
When the mobile phone company was developing well, I started researching short video apps.
And in order to have a stable income from his own industry, he returned to his old business and began to enter the pharmaceutical industry and research on the launch of new drugs.
Time flies by us like a galloping horse.
In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
Zhou Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, looking at the high-rise buildings everywhere with deep eyes.
I don't know if it was due to the power of the system, but after he became an adult, his appearance slowly changed into what he looked like in the real world.
And after years of exercise, his physical fitness has fully recovered and has improved.

Shuttle Card×3!
Mission: Not triggered!
Unfortunately, he has been in this world for twenty years, but the system task has never been successfully triggered, even though he has been to the Ode to Joy community several times.
After closing the system panel, Zhou Chen began to think about the company's next development.
After years of development, his Chenxing Group has become a giant industry in Shanghai. The group is involved in multiple industries and has become a leader in several industries.
In the business district of Shanghai, when it comes to Chenxing Group, probably everyone knows about it.
"According to time, the live streaming industry will become popular next. Do you want to get involved?"
After thinking about it, Zhou Chen still shook his head and gave up. The live broadcast industry is indeed an emerging industry and has great development prospects. However, with the current status of Chenxing Group, it no longer needs live broadcasts to build its reputation.
Moreover, the cake in the live broadcast industry is limited, and the ability of various industries of his group to make money is much faster than that in the live broadcast industry.
The live streaming industry is a mixed bag, and he doesn't want to expend much energy on running it, because the current mobile phone and short video industries already require him to do enough.
"If we count the time, the plot of Ode to Joy will almost begin."
Zhou Chen calculated based on his age that this year should be when the plot of the TV series begins, but he couldn't be sure in which month it started.
The beautiful sound of the piano suddenly sounded, Zhou Chen turned around and walked to the desk, picking up the mobile phone on the table.
"Hey, Mom, okay, I understand, I'll be there right away."
The caller was his mother, Sun Yi.
Speaking of parents, they have lived in Shanghai for four years. His mother, Sun Yi, came here less than a year after she retired. His father also transferred to a university in Shanghai to teach through a relationship, and he retired not long after.
Already.
Ode to Joy's house was delivered five years ago, and his parents moved there four years ago.
Originally, he wanted his parents to move to his villa, but they were unwilling no matter what and insisted on living in the Ode to Joy community. He had no choice but to agree to their move.
There was no need to hire a nanny or part-time worker for them, which made Zhou Chen helpless, but seeing that his parents were very agile, he didn't force it.
Zhou Chen pressed the phone: "Secretary Jiang, come in."
"yes."
Soon, a young woman wearing a business suit came in. She was Zhou Chen's secretary, Jiang Yuyan, who had been Zhou Chen's secretary for four years.
"Dr. Zhou."
Zhou Chen said: "Inform Mr. Qin and Mr. Qian to have a meeting in the conference room at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Yes, I will inform you now."
"What are my plans for the evening?"
"Mr. Chen from China Construction Bank would like to treat you to dinner, and Mr. Han from Han Group also invites you to dinner."
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows. Mr. Han from the Han family was a very enchanting woman. After meeting him at a party before, she launched a fierce pursuit of him.
But he was not interested in Mr. Han, who came from such a wealthy family, and he was even less interested in marriage, so he had always been too lazy to talk to her.
With his current status, I don't know how many women are desperately trying to get close to him, and there are countless women with status and status, but it's okay to act on occasion. If you want to develop further, you haven't done it yet.
"Just push it away, just say I have something to do tonight."
"Okay, Director Jay, let me get to work first."
"Go ahead."
After sitting in the office for a while, at six o'clock, Zhou Chen got up and left the office.
All the way from the office to the gate on the first floor, everyone who saw him called him "Dr. Jay" and "Dr. Jay" very respectfully.
Who makes this building belong to Chenxing Group, and everyone who works here is his employee? Who dares to be disrespectful when meeting this big boss?
As soon as they left the company gate, a shiny black Mercedes-Benz was already parked at the door. A young man in a neat suit stood in front of the car. When he saw Zhou Chen coming, he immediately opened the door.
"boss."
After Zhou Chen got in the car, the driver trotted onto the main driver's seat.
"Six sons, go to Ode to Joy."
"Okay, boss."
The young man's name is Yang Yang, nicknamed Liuzi, and Zhou Chen's full-time driver. Like him, he came from the Daishan County Welfare Institute.
Because he was an orphan and was not doing well in society, he recruited him a few years ago to be his driver.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Because they both came from an orphanage, they are loyal to Zhou Chen.
There is a long distance from Chenxing Building to the Ode to Joy Community. Coupled with the traffic jam on the road, it was already forty minutes before we arrived at Ode to Joy.
The Ode to Joy Community was delivered five years ago. It is in a good location and has convenient transportation. It is a good mid-range community in Shanghai.
Zhou Chen’s parents bought 03 in Building 19 of the Ode to Joy Community.
A few months ago, 2201 and 2203 upstairs were renovated at the same time. The Zhou family and his wife who lived downstairs were so annoyed that they finally had to move into Zhou Chen's villa for a while.
However, more than a month ago, the real estate agent Xiao Zheng called and said that the two houses had been renovated, so the old couple couldn't wait to move back from the villa.
Zhou Chen understood the old man's thoughts, because he himself had been an elder, and if possible, the older generation really didn't want to live with their children.
This has nothing to do with whether the children are rich or not, but the old man's intention is not to trouble his children. Unless he is unable to move, he will not trouble his children easily.
The Zhou couple are obviously the same kind of people. Even though they all know that Zhou Chen is a well-known figure in Shanghai and very rich, they still want to live alone without bothering Zhou Chen and give their children enough space.
Zhou Chen has already found out that the building where his parents live is the same building where Ode to Joy Wumei lives, which happens to be right downstairs from them.
Although 2201 and 2203 upstairs have been renovated, the owners have not moved in yet and are still vacant.
On the other hand, there are three girls living in 2202, the middle house.
Originally, 2202, the middle apartment, was the worst of the three apartment types, with two bedrooms and two living rooms. However, the owner separated part of the living room by another room, so it became three bedrooms and was rented to three girls from a foreign land.
.
The three girls were unbearably disturbed by the noisy renovations of the two apartments in the past few months. However, they had no money in their pockets and had no way to change their apartments. They could only go out early and come back late every day to avoid the noise.
Fortunately, the renovation was finally completed a month ago, so the three girls no longer have to suffer.
On this day, Guan Ju'er, who rarely worked overtime, came back early. He happened to meet his fellow tenant Qiu Yingying at the gate of the community, so the two walked into the community hand in hand.
"Guan Guan, why didn't you work overtime today? It's rare."
There are three girls in 2202. Qiu Yingying comes from an ordinary family, has a lively personality, is heartless, and to put it harshly, she is unclear, reckless, and has no sense of proportion in her actions.
But because of his naive personality, he got along very well with the two girls he rented with.
Guan Ju'er is the opposite of Qiu Yingying. She has a quiet and introverted personality, a good girl from a good family, and is polite and sensible. But in fact, she also has a little rebellion in her heart, but it is buried very deep, even she herself is not aware of it.
"I don't know. The leader didn't let me work overtime today, so I came back early and was ready to have a good rest."
"Guan Guan, have you eaten?"
"No, I'm exhausted after taking the subway all the way. I'm going to go back and have a rest before seeing what to eat."
"Then let's go eat Malatang together later?"
"I don't eat Malatang. My mother said you can't eat Malatang."
"Okay, then let's go eat noodles."
"Okay, noodles are cheap and convenient."
While they were talking, the two came to the door of Building 19 and were about to go in. Suddenly they saw a black Mercedes-Benz driving over and they quickly got out of the way.
"Guan Guan, the luxury car, why did it arrive at the door?"
The Ode to Joy community has an underground parking lot and parking spaces on both sides of the building. Very few people drive their cars in front of the building.
The Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door of their building unit. After being surprised, Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying walked towards the stairs.
But just when they were about to swipe their cards to enter, Xiao Zheng suddenly rushed over to the property and quickly opened the door.
This shocked the two of them. When did Xiao Zheng become so discerning? Didn't he usually look at tenants like them? Why did he open the door to them today?
But soon they knew what was going on.
Property manager Xiao Zheng didn't even look at them, let them in, and then shouted in a flattering tone: "Mr. Zhou, you are here."
This flattering tone made the two of them turn their heads in surprise, and then they saw a man in his mid-twenties walking in.
With just one glance, Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying were attracted by this man.
I saw this man with short hair, a light blue casual suit, and a white shirt underneath. The collar of the white shirt was slightly open, revealing wheat-colored skin.
Looking further up, I found that the other person's eyes were deep and lively, his nose was high and his face was angular. Especially the man had an indescribable temperament and was more handsome than most male celebrities.
Speaking of Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying, they had seen many handsome men, but they were still shocked when they saw the man in front of them.
Because this man was not only handsome, but his aura shocked them even more.
The two of them stood stupidly at the elevator entrance. They even forgot to press the button for the elevator, and just looked at it stupidly.
When Zhou Chen saw Xiao Zheng, he didn't care about the other person's attitude, but asked: "Nothing happened to my parents recently, right?"
Xiao Zheng quickly replied: "Mr. Zhou and Teacher Sun are very nice here. Mr. Zhou's students have visited twice this month, and the couple from 02 next door had a quarrel at night and they were noisy. But I
The problem was solved quickly.”
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Well, you did a good job. If anything special happens in the future, you must notify me as soon as possible, you know?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, if anything happens, I will notify your secretary as soon as possible."
"I'll go up first."
As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou, let me press the elevator button for you."
Zhou Chen did not refuse and followed Xiao Zheng to the elevator.
The reason why Xiao Zheng is so respectful to him is because he asked Xiao Zheng to pay more attention to his parents. In return, he also let Xiao Zheng's former boyfriend, now husband, join the Chenxing Group.
The Chenxing Group is a giant-level group in the Magic City, ranking among the top 500 Fortune 500 companies in the world. I don’t know how many people who have graduated from prestigious schools want to join it.
And Xiao Zheng's husband is just an ordinary bachelor's degree graduate. If Xiao Zheng hadn't happened to be the property owner of Building 19, how could her husband have the opportunity to enter Chenxing Group.
That's why Xiao Zheng fawned over Zhou Chen so much and stayed at Building 19 for several years, never leaving this post no matter what.
Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying watched dumbly as Xiao Zheng pressed the elevator button, and then followed Zhou Chen into the elevator, forgetting to press the floor button.
Zhou Chen walked into the elevator and pressed the floor button. He saw that the two girls who came in at the same time did not press the elevator button, so he asked: "Which floor are you on? Don't you press the elevator button?"
"oh oh."
Only then did Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying react. Qiu Yingying quickly pressed the 22nd floor button, but they were still thinking about what had just happened.
They knew that Zhou Chen got off the Mercedes-Benz just now, but they didn't know the origin of this 'Mr. Zhou', who actually made the somewhat snobbish Xiao Zheng act like a bitch, opening the door and pressing the elevator button.
Guan Ju'er was more restrained, lowering her head and not daring to look at Zhou Chen, while Qiu Yingying glanced at Zhou Chen from time to time, full of curiosity.
Zhou Chen saw that the number they pressed was the 22nd floor, and he immediately guessed their identities.
At present, the other two households on the 22nd floor have not moved in yet, so these two girls must be two of the three people living together. Judging by their age, they must be Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying.
I had been to Ode to Joy several times before, but never met the three women upstairs. I didn't expect to meet Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying this time.
One of them was wearing a blue V-neck T-shirt and light blue jeans; the other was wearing a white round-neck T-shirt and a knee-length white skirt.
"You live on the twenty-second floor?"
Qiu Yingying, who secretly glanced at Zhou Chen, heard Zhou Chen take the initiative to speak, and immediately replied: "Yes, we are the tenants of 2202. Handsome man, do you also live in this building? Why haven't we seen you before?"
Guan Ju'er also raised her head curiously. If she had seen such a handsome and elegant guy like Zhou Chen, she would definitely not forget him.
Zhou Chen said: "I don't live here, but my parents live here, 03, just downstairs from you."
"What a coincidence, handsome guy, hello, my name is Qiu Yingying, what's your name?"
Qiu Yingying is a beauty lover. When she saw the handsome Zhou Chen, she couldn't hold back her excitement and asked the question she was most concerned about.
Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "What a good name. My name is Zhou Chen."
"Yeah, my name sounds nice and easy to remember, right? Although my parents are not well-educated, they still chose good names."
After receiving Zhou Chen's praise, Qiu Yingying suddenly felt happy.
Guan Ju'er then raised his head and whispered: "My, my name is Guan Ju'er."
"Hey, Guan Ju'er? Is this name taken from the two characters in 'Guan Guan Ju'er' in the first chapter of the Book of Songs? It's a very poetic name."
This is not because Zhou Chen is deliberately flattering, but because he really thinks the name Guan Ju'er is good.
It can be seen that her parents are still well-educated, and ordinary families would probably not choose such a biased name.
Guan Ju's face suddenly turned red and he didn't know how to answer.
However, she still looked at Zhou Chen secretly. When Zhou Chen was looking at her with a smile, his face became even redder.
She just has a shy personality, especially when facing a man like Zhou Chen with excellent temperament and appearance, her heart beats faster.
"Thanks."
It's just that her voice was too soft. If she wasn't in the elevator and Zhou Chen had better hearing, she might not be able to hear her.
