Chapter 404: Dating with a strange girl and meeting Guan Qiu by chance
Zhou Chen never expected that with his current status, he would be arranged to go on a blind date.
But when faced with his mother's orders, even he, a big boss with tens of thousands of employees in charge, could only obey the orders obediently.
On the weekend, Zhou Chen followed his mother's orders and wore a simple white long-sleeved shirt, black and gray trousers and leather shoes.
He had made an appointment with the blind date two days ago, and they were going to meet today at a coffee shop in a large shopping mall not far from the Ode to Joy community.
They had chatted a bit in the past two days and found out that the other party was indeed a girl who had returned from overseas and had returned from studying in the United States, but they didn't know the specific school.
The woman's name is Hong Jing, she is twenty-seven years old, one year older than him.
Judging from the photos, he does look good. He is currently working for a foreign company, and he didn’t say what he does specifically.
In order to obey his mother's orders, Zhou Chen prepared to go to the meeting and treated it as a matter of course. He had never thought of more developments.
Zhou Chen currently lives in the most luxurious villa area in Shanghai, Tan Palace No. 6.
As the most expensive villa area in Shanghai, this villa alone cost him hundreds of millions.
When we arrived at the parking lot of the villa area, there were a dozen luxury cars parked here, ranging from several million to tens of millions, from all major brands.
Because he was going on a blind date, Zhou Chen was not going to let the driver drive him, but was going to drive there himself.
"It's just you."
Zhou Chen walked up to a blue, square car. This was a luxury car he bought just last year, a Bentley Mulsanne, worth more than six million.
This car doesn't look very cool, it's square and square, but it looks very grand. The space inside the car is also very large, not to mention the configuration.
After buying this Mulsanne, he only drove it a total of two or three times.
To be precise, he has only driven most of the cars in the garage a few times.
Usually when traveling for work, a driver drives, either a Mercedes-Benz or a Rolls-Royce, and most of them are black.
The Mulsanne does have a sporty feel when driven. Zhou Chen drove the Mulsanne directly out of the garage and drove away from the Tan Palace Villa area.
The location of Tan Palace is very good, and it is also very close to Chenxing Building, so Zhou Chen lives here most of the time.
Zhou Chen drove directly to the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. He checked the time and saw that there were still forty minutes before the scheduled time. He didn't wait. He took the elevator directly to the cafe on the first floor and found a window seat.
The position awaits.
Because it is the weekend, there are many people in the mall, including couples, families, besties...
Speaking of which, he had not visited such a bustling shopping mall for a long time. Even if he was socializing, he would go to a star-rated hotel. Occasionally, when he was interested, he would go to some tourist attractions or go hiking to exercise.
Shopping in this kind of shopping mall is more suitable for falling in love, as it will be more interesting.
When there were still ten minutes left before the agreed time, Zhou Chen received Hong Jing's authority and told Hong Jing her location.
Within a few minutes, he saw a woman wearing a white shirt and a light blue high-waisted pleated skirt walking over.
This woman is visually estimated to be about 1.65 meters tall. She is wearing a pair of high heels and has a tall and slender figure. This outfit fully demonstrates her figure advantages.
At first glance, this woman's external conditions are quite good, and since she is a returnee from overseas, she can be considered very good.
When the other party came over, Zhou Chen stood up very politely.
"Hello, is this Miss Hong?"
"Yes, I am Hong Jing, and you are the Zhou Chen that my aunt said?"
Hong Jing also said hello politely, her voice clear and sweet.
"Sit down, I'll order whatever you want to drink for you."
Zhou Chen waved to the waiter not far away, and Hong Jing said: "Bring me a cup of hand-ground coffee, less milk and less sugar."
Zhou Chen ordered two cups of coffee and a few desserts, and then started talking to Hong Jing.
At first glance, Hong Jing looked like the kind of person who knew how to dress up. She wore light makeup and looked quite innocent. However, after Zhou Chen took a closer look, his brows frowned unconsciously, but they soon relaxed.
Zhou Chen took the initiative and asked: "I heard from Aunt Tao that you came back from studying in the United States. I have been to the United States several times. I wonder which city you went to university in?"
Hong Jing said: "I'm in California..."
"?"
When Zhou Chen heard her mention the name of the university, he looked confused. There were too many universities in the United States, but he knew a thing or two about the well-known universities, but he had never heard of the university Hong Jing mentioned.
But he didn't care, maybe he just happened to have never heard of it.
Hong Jing asked: "I heard from my aunt that you opened your own company? Those who can open companies in China are all capable people."
"That's too much praise. I just run a small company, so I'm not really that talented."
Zhou Chen dealt with it casually and didn't say much more about it. Instead, he talked about some things in California and discussed it with Hong Jing.
After a while, the waiter brought coffee and desserts, and the two paused their conversation.
Zhou Chen stirred the coffee and already made an evaluation of Hong Jing in his heart, describing it in four words.
duplicity.
Hong Jing looks very innocent and has a lot of content, but the conversation just now fully demonstrated her cultural heritage. It cannot be said that she is uneducated, but she is definitely not as knowledgeable and talented as she said.
This woman is very good at pretending.
Hong Jing was waiting for Zhou Chen to talk to her. During this time, she had been on blind dates several times, and every time the man saw her, he was fawning and flattering.
But the man in front of her was different. He said a few words to her, but most of them were kind words, and he kept talking about the customs and customs of California, which made her almost unable to answer.
Seeing that Zhou Chen actually stopped talking now and drank coffee calmly, this made her even more dissatisfied.
If Zhou Chen hadn't been handsome, charming, opened her own company, and had good conditions, she wouldn't have wasted so much time.
"Zhou Chen, since we were introduced by acquaintances, I have something to say directly."
Zhou Chen nodded without any surprise and said: "Okay, if you have anything to say, you can just say it."
Hong Jing continued: "Actually, I personally don't like blind dates, but I think your image is not bad and you are more in line with my requirements for a boyfriend. But marriage is different from falling in love, and some things must be agreed in advance.
"
Zhou Chen showed a meaningful smile, "I also have a good feeling for you. Since you mentioned getting married, let's talk about your conditions."
Different from free love, blind date itself has a purpose. Although it is a bit utilitarian to negotiate terms at the beginning, it is not too abrupt.
"First of all, marriage is a matter between two people. If we are to be together, I don't want to live with your parents."
Zhou Chen asked: "What about your parents?"
Hong Jing: "Of course my parents can come and live with us. After all, they will only live for a period of time at most, and they cannot live with us forever."
Zhou Chen was noncommittal and continued to ask: "What else?"
"The second thing is the house. We must have a house of our own, fully paid. I don't want to repay the loan, and I don't want the house to have my name on it, just the two of us."
"The house should not be cheap. I prefer to buy clothes. It must have a larger cloakroom and enough room. After all, there will be children in the future who will not be able to squeeze in with us. Well, then it will cost at least 140
More than ten square feet."
"Well, what else?"
"The betrothal gift must be given. After all, it was not easy for my parents to raise me so well, and they also supported me to study abroad. One million is not too much, right?"
"It's not too much. How can the kindness of raising someone be measured by money?"
There were more and more smiles on Zhou Chen's face, but the smile looked weird, but Hong Jing didn't notice it.
"Also, I didn't come back from studying abroad to be a housewife. I want to have my own career, so I need a nanny at home. If I have children in the future, I will also have a full-time confinement nanny."
"These are the basic conditions. We can discuss the remaining conditions in detail after we are sure we can be together. What do you think?"
Zhou Chen kept smiling: "I personally don't think the problem is that big. Getting married is about getting along with each other. Houses, nannies, etc. also serve the family. Betrothal gifts have been there since ancient times, and I will not refuse to give them."
"But you have made so many demands, and I will make a request that is not too excessive, so that's no problem."
Hong Jing was filled with pride when she saw how knowledgeable Zhou Chen was. Her charm was indeed extraordinary. Such a good man was completely fascinated by her, and she said whatever she wanted.
"As long as it's not too much of a request, feel free to ask for it."
Zhou Chen didn't say it immediately, but his expression became increasingly weird and he spoke slowly.
"Under such conditions, it should be fine for a woman who has never had an abortion or been pregnant with an original one, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Hong Jing's face suddenly changed. She slammed the spoon in her hand on the table and shouted angrily: "What do you mean?"
The angry roar attracted other customers in the cafe to look over.
Zhou Chen sat upright very calmly, wiped his hands with paper, and looked at Hong Jing expressionlessly.
"What do I mean? You should know very well. I think you look pretty, but what you do makes people so disgusting. Do you really think you are so attractive? You don't live with your parents, buy a house and hire a nanny.
, the bride price is one million, are you worthy of it?"
Hong Jing stood up angrily, pointed at Zhou Chen and cursed: "I have never seen such a shameless man like you. You are a big-tailed wolf who has no ability and just pretends to be a fool?"
"snort."
Zhou Chen snorted coldly: "I'm pretending? You're the one pretending, right? Since you're shameless, let's talk openly."
"I heard that you just returned to China for half a month and you were so anxious to go on a blind date. You must be anxious to find a father for the child in your belly, right?"
Hong Jing's face suddenly froze, and she looked at Zhou Chen in horror.
"I'm surprised. If you don't know others, unless you do nothing, do you really think that we men are all fools? Let me guess, is the child in your belly white or black? I can't stay abroad any longer. Come back.
When you come to China, you want to find a father for your child in China?"
"If you're looking for dad, just look for dad. You look so condescending. You own the house and the nanny and confinement. You're a guy who was screwed by foreign friends. Do you deserve it?"
"you you you……"
Hong Jing was so angry that Zhou Chen exposed her background and was so humiliated. She pointed at Zhou Chen and wanted to curse, but she was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Chen, however, was too lazy to pay attention to her and stood up directly: "For the sake of the Chinese compatriots, I will invite you this time. You can continue to find the unlucky guy you want."
After saying that, he ignored Hong Jing, who was shaking with anger, and walked directly to the cashier, paid and left.
Hong Jing, who was furious, did not leave immediately. It was not until she heard the comments from many customers around her that she realized what she was doing. She quickly picked up her bag and ran out of the cafe with her face covered.
"unlucky."
Zhou Chen walked out of the coffee shop and couldn't help but curse secretly.
As an old doctor who has been practicing for decades, and who has inherited the traditional Chinese medicine from the Zhou family, he has naturally mastered the knowledge, knowledge, and knowledge of Chinese medicine.
After being in close contact with Hong Jing for a period of time, he realized something was wrong. Hong Jing was definitely pregnant, and she was more than a month old.
Thinking that the other party had just returned to China for more than half a month, it was easy to know that this woman must have been pregnant abroad and came back to find a successor.
To be honest, Hong Jing's external conditions are quite good, but it's a pity that she is a disgusting thing on the inside.
Damn it, if you don’t look for a successor abroad, you have to wait until you return to China to find one. Do you really think that all Chinese people are honest people?
But when I turned around and thought about it, in today's society, with Hong Jing's external conditions, maybe she could really find a successor.
But this had nothing to do with him. He just felt disgusted when he thought that he had just been on a blind date with such a thing.
Looking at the mall with people coming and going, Zhou Chen did not leave immediately. He hadn't been to the mall for a long time, so he just took this opportunity to take a walk.
Arriving at the second floor of the shopping mall, he passed by a game arcade. When he saw the dancing machine, Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of the scene in Little Happy World where he watched movies and played games with Qiao Yingzi and the others.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen missed his wife Qiao Yingzi from Xiao Huanxi World even more.
For Qiao Yingzi, he has not left, but for him, he has not seen Qiao Yingzi for many years.
Looking at the dancing machine, although he wanted to move around a bit, seeing the young people around him, he gave up the idea and turned around to leave.
Today is the weekend, and neither Guan Ju'er nor Qiu Yingying went to work. They slept in until almost noon, and then washed up and went out to find food.
They had just eaten Xiao Long Bao and walked around the mall to eat.
Because both of them are outsiders, they don't have much money and they don't know anyone, so even on weekends, there is nowhere to go.
Unlike my roommate Fan Shengmei, on weekends, she dresses up beautifully and goes out shopping to find people to play with.
The two of them could only wander around the mall, maybe see some small things that interest them, and spend dozens of dollars to buy some. As for other clothes and jewelry, they were just eye-catching at most.
The two of them walked around the mall and felt a little tired, so each of them bought an ice cream and sat on a stool in the mall to eat it.
"Guan Guan, let's go back later. You can only look at it, but you can't buy it. It's really torturous."
Qiu Yingying ate a big mouthful of ice cream, glanced at the famous brand clothing stores, and said bitterly.
Guan Ju'er agreed very much and said: "I think so too. The more I wander around, the more uncomfortable I feel. Why are we so miserable? We are so poor that we can't even afford nice clothes."
In fact, she is not that bad, but now she is just an intern with a limited salary. Her family is a middle-class family, but she is unwilling to ask for money from her family, so she is actually poor.
"Yingying, I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?"
Guan Ju'er found that Qiu Yingying didn't listen to her at all, but stared blankly ahead, so she pushed Qiu Yingying.
But Qiu Yingying still didn't look at her, but pointed forward.
"Guan Guan, look at that man, is he the handsome guy Zhou downstairs from us?"
"Handsome guy Zhou?"
Guan Juer instantly understood who Qiu Yingying was talking about, so she quickly turned her head and looked in the direction of Qiu Yingying's finger.
She saw a man walking slowly and unhurriedly dozens of meters away from them, and her eyes suddenly widened.
