Guan Ju'er ate in small bites. Although the food here is relatively expensive, he has to admit that it is indeed much more delicious than ordinary Western restaurants.
"Yingying recently fell in love with a manager of their company, named Bai. We all call him Manager Bai. I heard Yingying said he was very handsome, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Guan Ju'er slowly relaxed and began to talk to Zhou Chen about the situation on the 22nd floor, because she really didn't know what to say to Zhou Chen. She could only talk about the people and things she usually came into contact with.
"And Sister Fan, she also went on a blind date today. I don't know if she can succeed. I really hope that Sister Fan can successfully find a boyfriend, because she is really having a hard time."
"I have been exercising with Sister Andy recently, and I also ride in Sister Andy's car when I go to work. Although Sister Andy looks repulsive on the outside, she is actually a really nice person, and she is also very smart. There are many
What I don’t understand, she understands as soon as she hears it.”
"I have met Qu Xiaoxiao a few times, but many times I see her coming back drunk. I heard from Sister Fan that she went to the bar to play."
"…………"
Zhou Chen listened patiently to Guan Ju'er's narration. He rarely heard about such family affairs.
He is usually very busy at work, and even if he eats with others, most of the time he talks about work or other things. Basically no one talks to him about these family affairs.
Even his parents are intellectuals and rarely talk about other people's affairs behind their backs. At most, they only talk about relatives' matters, and they rarely mention them in front of him.
So when he heard Guan Ju'er talk about this, he found it very interesting and down-to-earth.
As they talked, the conversation turned to work again. Guan Juer said that the work was too tiring and that it was completely different from the major she studied in college. She had to learn everything all over again. Moreover, she was in a large company and the pressure of competition was great.
"Then you haven't thought about resigning and finding a job you like?" Zhou Chen asked.
Guan Juer was stunned for a moment, and then said in a coquettish way: "I really haven't thought about this, because my parents asked someone to help me find this job. I don't want to disappoint them, so even though it is very difficult, but
I still have to persevere.”
"You have the right idea."
Zhou Chen very much agrees with Guan Ju'er's decision. Today's college graduates are all very high-spirited. They always feel that the boss of Tian and others want to find a job that is easy and pays more.
But how can there be so many good things? How many college students today can find jobs that match their majors? How many people can find jobs where they can get high wages?
Ninety percent of fresh graduates have to start from scratch, but most of them can't make it through.
Like Guan Ju'er, when faced with difficulties, he did not escape, no matter what the reason was, but his courage and determination are stronger than many people.
However, being able to arrange for Guan Ju'er to be an intern in a Fortune 500 company, it can also be seen that Guan Ju'er's parents should still have some strength and connections.
The two of them finished their meal in a leisurely manner. After the meal, Zhou Chen asked Guan Ju'er: "Xiaoguan, do you have any plans later?"
"Arrangement? No." Guan Ju'er shook his head.
Zhou Chen said: "Then are you interested in the concert?"
Guan Ju'er's eyes lit up and he nodded: "I like music very much, especially classical music, and I often attend small concerts."
"That's just right. I'm preparing to go to a relatively private concert in the afternoon. This concert has invited several famous orchestras at home and abroad, including classical music, pop music, ethnic music, etc. It can be said to be very professional music.
There will be a meeting, and all those who can participate are professionals in the industry. There is a bit of a barrier, so I wonder if you are interested?"
Zhou Chen looked at Guan Ju'er with a smile. The reason why he brought up this topic was because he knew that Guan Ju'er liked music.
When chasing a woman, intelligence comes first. Once you have the information, you can prescribe the right medicine.
"Really?"
Guan Ju'er was indeed interested and asked Zhou Chen slightly excitedly.
From what Zhou Chen said, she knew that this private concert was very high-end. She had only participated in amateur concerts before. She had never participated in high-end concerts, so she was naturally more curious and longing for it.
"But since it's a private concert, can I go in?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course it's no problem. I have acquaintances there and will definitely be able to get in. Then we have agreed to go there later?"
"I can."
Guan Ju'er agreed without hesitation. She loved music and was able to listen to music with people she admired. Of course, she had no reason to refuse.
"Then we'll go there after dinner. The concert actually starts in the morning and will last all day."
After the two packed up, they left the restaurant and drove to the concert.
When the car arrived at its destination, Guan Ju suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Zhou Chen, isn't this the Magic City Jiaotong University?"
Zhou Chen said: "Yes, it is Jiaotong University, and this concert is held here."
After saying hello to the security guard at the door, he drove in. It was like his home. He could come and leave whenever he wanted.
"Zhou Chen, you are very familiar with this place. Even the security guards know you."
"Of course, I graduated from here, and I often come back after graduation, so the security guards here all know me."
"You graduated from Jiaotong University?"
Guan Juer looked at Zhou Chen in shock. Jiaotong University was the top university in Shanghai, and it was countless times better than her undergraduate university.
"Yes, speaking of which, the year I was admitted to Jiaotong University, I was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our province."
Guan Ju'er was even more shocked: "If you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination, why don't you go to Huaqing University?"
Zhou Chen: "Maybe it's because I like the city of Magic City better."
"oh."
Guan Ju'er was really shocked that Zhou Chen was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. No wonder Zhou Chen was so good. It turned out that he had been very good since he was a child.
"This is it."
Zhou Chen parked the car in a parking space in front of a building.
"This building was just built a few years ago. It is mainly used to hold various activities. The space inside is very large, and you will know when you go in."
Zhou Chen introduced to Guan Ju'er that he actually funded the construction of this building.
When he was doing business, the school gave him a lot of help.
He is a person who repays kindness, so after he became rich, he funded the construction of this building for the school. In addition, he also received many other subsidies.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is definitely one of the most representative alumni of Jiaotong University in recent years.
Today is a school holiday, so there are not many students, but you can see that there are many cars parked around here, and these car owners are all here for the concert.
The concert was in progress. In fact, if you wanted to enter, you needed an invitation letter, but who was Zhou Chen? He said hello and let him in directly.
"so big."
Nothing could be seen from the outside, but when Guan Ju'er went in and saw the situation inside, he was immediately shocked.
The space inside is too big. At first glance, this space is at least ten meters high and even dozens of meters wide.
There must be at least a thousand seats in the rows in front of you, and about half of them are already occupied.
There was a huge stage at the front, and a band was playing on the stage. As for what was playing, she didn't even hear it.
"Come on, let's sit over there."
Zhou Chen took Guan Ju'er and found a seat to sit down. There was no one around.
"This is an original piece of music, it..."
Seeing that Guan Ju'er didn't seem to understand, Zhou Chen whispered to her about the music.
After the music ended, there was a break for a few minutes, and a new band came on stage to perform, this time a piece of national music.
Although Guan Ju'er likes music, she can really only be regarded as an amateur. Compared with a master like Zhou Chen, there is no comparison at all.
When she met someone who didn't understand, Zhou Chen would explain to her in a low voice that she had some musical foundation. Although she couldn't fully understand it after listening, she was much better than at the beginning.
Guan Ju'er looked at Zhou Chen with admiration. If she was attracted by Zhou Chen's appearance and wealth before, now, she is intoxicated by Zhou Chen's rich knowledge and experience of music.
She found that no matter what type of music it was, Zhou Chen could actually understand it, and he could also explain it to her, and his explanation could even be understood by her, an amateur player.
"Zhou Chen, you know a lot."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, mainly because I listened more and was more interested."
Guan Ju'er knew that Zhou Chen was being modest. If she was arty, then Zhou Chen was the real master of the palace. The two of them were not on the same level at all.
As a piece of classical music played, both of them were immersed in the music.
Although Zhou Chen is no longer a musician, he still has not given up on music, which has become a hobby of his.
He also took the lead in organizing the concerts here, and he also paid to invite many bands, in order to find a suitable place for real musicians to enjoy music and listen to music...
After the concert, Zhou Chen quietly left the school with Guan Ju'er without disturbing anyone else.
He knew very well that if someone saw him coming here, he would definitely not be able to leave.
On the way out, Guan Juer said excitedly: "It's really good. I have never heard so much good music. This kind of concert is simply a holy place for all people who like music."
"Zhou Chen, do concerts like this happen often?"
"That's not true, but there will be one every two or three months. There will be some concerts at other times, but they are not as professional as today. They can only be regarded as semi-professional and semi-amateur."
"That's amazing. There is such a place in Jiaotong University. Why didn't I know about it before?"
"Don't be surprised. Except for people in the industry, not many people know that there are concerts here. If you like to listen, I will get you a long-term ticket, and you can come and listen to it at any time."
Guan Juer quickly waved his hand and said: "No, it's too troublesome. I really don't need it."
"It's okay, no trouble, it's very simple for me, just wait."
For Zhou Chen, this is indeed a matter of one sentence.
Seeing Zhou Chen's unyielding look, Guan Ju'er opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Chen looked at the time and said to Guan Ju'er: "It's getting late. Let's find a place to eat."
Guan Ju'er quickly said: "You are the one who treated us at noon, so I will treat you to this meal, otherwise, otherwise I will be embarrassed to go..."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I'll treat you tonight, I know a good restaurant."
Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't refuse, Guan Ju'er breathed a sigh of relief. She was a well-educated girl. Even if she had dinner with others, she would be embarrassed to keep eating from them.
In her opinion, it was Zhou Chen who treated the guests at noon, and she should treat them in the evening.
Zhou Chen drove the car and stopped outside a snack street in Shanghai.
When Guan Ju'er saw it, he immediately became anxious: "No, we can't eat here, let's find another place."
At noon, Zhou Chen invited her to eat at such an expensive place. She didn't expect to treat her to a similar restaurant, but she didn't want to just hang out at the snack street either.
Zhou Chen said: "I know there is a delicious noodle restaurant here. I have wanted to eat here for a long time. But I am usually very busy at work and have never had time. Today I finally have the chance, so we will eat here."
"But……"
"There's nothing special about it. Treating guests to a meal doesn't mean spending money. That would be boring. If you want to have fun eating, it depends on who you eat with."
Zhou Chen took the lead and walked over, and Guan Ju'er could only follow step by step.
She always felt that Zhou Chen was deliberately taking care of her, but Zhou Chen was too strong and gave her no room to resist, so he could only compromise with his lips pursed.
In the end, the two of them actually ate the noodles. What surprised Guan Ju'er was that the noodles in the noodle shop that Zhou Chen brought her to were really delicious and unique.
In the underground parking lot of Ode to Joy, Guan Juer glanced at Zhou Chen next to him and prepared to open the car door and get out of the car.
But Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Guan Ju immediately stopped opening the door and looked at Zhou Chen doubtfully.
"Xiaoguan, do you still remember what I said when I had dinner with you last time?"
"What?"
Guan Ju'er didn't realize what Zhou Chen said.
"It's that sentence that I don't have a girlfriend, but I already have someone I like. Do you remember it?"
Guan Ju'er's face suddenly darkened. She thought Zhou Chen was trying to cut off her idea, so she responded in a low tone: "Remember."
Zhou Chen turned his body sideways to Guan Ju'er, looked at Guan Ju'er who had his head lowered, and said very seriously: "The person I like is you, Xiaoguan."
Guan Ju'er couldn't believe his ears. He raised his head suddenly and met Zhou Chen's eyes full of tenderness.
"I, I, you, what did you say, I, I heard it wrong."
Guan Ju'er had become incoherent. She never thought that Zhou Chen would say such a sentence.
Zhou Chen likes me?
She suspected that she was hallucinating.
But Zhou Chen suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands and said again: "You heard me right, the person I like is you, Xiaoguan, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"
"me……"
Guan Ju'er was completely confused, his face was red, he instinctively broke away from Zhou Chen's hands, leaned back, unable to say a complete sentence.
Zhou Chen did not attack again, but said softly: "Xiaoguan, I know this is a bit sudden and you are not mentally prepared, but this is what I think in my heart. I don't want to drag it out all the time. I just want to tell you my feelings.
you."
"Don't rush to answer, I hope you will think about it seriously, because what I want is a real love and marriage, not that kind of irresponsible love, so I hope you will think about it seriously,
Give me the answer again."
"And don't feel any psychological pressure. Regardless of whether you agree or not, we will still be friends and it will not affect our current relationship."
With the appearance of the five Ode to Joy girls, the plot has begun. Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time, so he confessed his love to Guan Ju'er today.
Guan Ju'er was really at a loss at this moment, his heart was pounding, and even his breathing became unsmooth.
Zhou Chen's sudden confession made her completely confused.
A man like Zhou Chen was really too far away from her, but such an outstanding man actually confessed his love to her. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed it was true.
She impulsively wanted to agree, but in the end she held back because she always felt it was too dreamy.
"Why do you like me?"
This is where she is most confused. Her life from childhood to adulthood has taught her that she is not the kind of girl who attracts boys, let alone an outstanding man like Zhou Chen.
Because of this, she has no self-confidence and doesn't understand why Zhou Chen likes such an ordinary girl.
Zhou Chen said seriously: "Because you are different from other girls. You are very simple, very clean, and very cute. In today's society, girls like you are really rare. I am very lucky to have met you."
"Maybe you haven't realized it yourself, but you have a different charm. I like you like this and want to have a romantic and sweet love with you."
Guan Ju'er was moved. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to speak so highly of her.
"I'm not as good as you say."
"No, you are better than what I said. You just lack self-confidence now. Xiaoguan, believe me. You are the cutest girl in the world and the girl I have been waiting for. I like you, there is nothing else."
The reason is because of you."
"So I also hope that you will think it over carefully and don't think about anything else but me. I really want to be with you."
The succession of confessions and love words made Guan Juer's heart beat faster, and she suddenly opened the car door.
"I'll think about it carefully."
After saying that, she closed the car door, raised her legs and ran to the elevator entrance.
Seeing that Zhou Chen had no intention of getting off the car, Guan Juer got on the elevator and went straight to the 22nd floor.
After stepping out of the elevator, Guan Ju'er did not go home immediately. Instead, he leaned against the wall and kept patting his chest and face.
Her heartbeat was beating much faster than usual, her face was red and hot, and she was all ashamed.
She kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down, but what Zhou Chen had just said to her kept echoing in her mind, making it impossible for her to calm down.
"What should I do? What should I do? Should I agree?"
