Qiu Yingying jumped happily in room 2202. After Fan Shengmei's parents left, she could finally come back to live with peace of mind.
"Yeah, I'm finally back."
Guan Ju'er also seemed very happy. When he opened the room and saw familiar things, his mood improved.
Qiu Yingying said with emotion: "The house in Handsome Zhou Tan Palace is absolutely nothing to say. It is the most luxurious place I have ever lived in in my life. But how do you say that, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as my doghouse, or...
This is where I feel most at ease.”
"But you, Guan Guan, it's just as long as I come back. Why do you want to move back with me? Didn't you say that Zhou Chen will be back in a few days?"
"You also said that it will take a few days for him to come back. I don't dare live in such a big house by myself. Didn't I tell you before?"
"Yes, I forgot about it, but it doesn't matter if you come back. It will probably take a few days for Sister Fan to come back. The two of us can just be company."
"Hurry up and clean up now."
Because Fan Shengmei and the others left in a hurry, the room was very messy, so the two little girls, who were not very diligent, started to clean up the mess.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Zhou Chen had already returned to the Magic City from Yanjing.
This trip to Yanjing was not particularly smooth, but the final result was good. CCTV finally negotiated, but the price paid was a bit high.
Money comes second, the most important thing is that I use a lot of favors.
Such a result was also expected by Zhou Chen. The situation in the country is like this. If you want to accomplish something, you can't just rely on money. Networking is also very important.
Of course, it was successful in the end, which is worthy of happiness. At least it is better than running in vain. With the promotion of this Spring Festival Gala, it is absolutely crucial to the development of Douyin.
After returning to the Magic City, Zhou Chen first went home, and called Guan Ju'er back to have dinner with his parents, and then followed Guan Ju'er to live in their own world.
From Guan Ju'er's mouth, Zhou Chen also learned about the trivial matters in Fan Shengmei's family.
The troubles at Fan Shengmei's family were finally solved by Andy asking Mr. Xiao Bao of the Bao Group to come forward to solve the problem. This also meant that Mr. Xiao Bao was officially launched.
Although Zhou Chen has not watched both parts of Ode to Joy, he is still quite impressed by this little bag, because when he first watched TV, many people said how handsome and good this little bag is, and how well he matches Andy.
Judging from Guan Juer's description, this Xiaobao is indeed a talented person, very charming, and he also has a good impression of Andy.
Although Zhou Chen has never met Mr. Xiao Bao, it does not affect his judgment. Maybe Mr. Xiao Bao is very good, but he always feels that Tan Zongming is more suitable for Andy.
But he also saw that Tan Zongming was interested in Andy, but he was more afraid of losing him, otherwise he wouldn't have expressed it until now.
He didn't care about other people's love situations, but because of Guan Ju'er's words, he suddenly thought of these things.
"Sister Fan is so pitiful. Her brother and mother are simply too bad."
Several days have passed, but every time I think about this, Guan Ju'er is still indignant about Fan Shengmei's family affairs.
Zhou Chen said: "If you can't slap her, please stop fighting for Fan Shengmei. If you think she is suffering, maybe others will enjoy it."
Guan Ju'er said rather dullly: "I heard from Sister Andy that Mr. Wei also said similar things, and Qu Xiaoxiao also mocked Sister Fan. Do you smart people have different opinions from us stupid people?
?”
Zhou Chen flicked her head and lectured: "What are you talking about? It's just one opinion per person. We don't have to worry about other people's affairs here to delay our two-person world. I'll take you somewhere."
.”
"Where to?"
"Just follow me."
…………
"Dr. Zhao, Mr. Wei, I'm so sorry. I was so busy a while ago that I even delayed my invitation to attend the concert."
Outside the concert hall building of Jiaotong University, Zhou Chen said apologetically to Zhao Qiping and Wei Wei.
He had said before that he would invite them to a concert, but he went to Yanjing some time ago, so he missed it. He happened to be free this weekend, so he took the initiative to invite them.
Qu Xiaoxiao joined in the fun and shouted: "Dr. Jay, you don't know, our family's Zao Zhao was waiting for you until he dreamed about when he could attend the concert, so when he heard your invitation, he came over immediately.
."
Zhao Qiping quickly interrupted Qu Xiaoxiao's nonsense and said apologetically: "Dr. Jay, I'm sorry, this is Xiaoxiao's character. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, this matter is indeed my problem, but today's concert is not bad, you will not be disappointed later."
"It must be very good if it can be praised by Director Jay Chou."
Although Zhao Qiping is not very good at complimenting people, he is still good at saying nice things. It is already not easy for a boss as big as Zhou Chen to remember him and invite him to a concert.
Mr. Wei agreed from the side: "Yes, we still firmly believe in Director Jay Chou's vision."
A total of three couples came today. Guan Juer originally wanted to invite Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei, but when they heard that it was such a serious concert, they immediately refused.
"Then let's go in, the concert will start soon."
"Let's go in together."
Because of Zhou Chen's arrangement, the six of them sat together, relatively far back, and did not attract anyone's attention.
The concert started soon, and everyone stopped chatting and listened to the music seriously.
Zhou Chen, Guan Juer and Zhao Qiping already like music, so they listen the most carefully;
Although Andy and Wei Wei are not even amateurs, they are very patient, listen carefully, and have their own set of understandings.
Only Qu Xiaoxiao, not long after the concert started, started to doze off out of boredom because she really couldn't understand, and she felt drowsy.
Zhao Qiping was listening intoxicated when he suddenly saw Qu Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly on the seat next to him, and his brows suddenly furrowed. However, he glanced at Zhou Chen and the others and suppressed his dissatisfaction without showing anything strange.
In fact, he knew that Qu Xiaoxiao didn't like to attend concerts, and he never thought of forcing her, but today Qu Xiaoxiao insisted on coming with her.
In his opinion, this is a very rare high-quality concert, and it was personally invited by Zhou Chen. Since you are here, even if you don't understand, you have to pretend.
But his girlfriend actually fell asleep during the concert. Such behavior was really unacceptable to him.
You are the one who is coming, and you are the one who is sleeping. This is really disrespectful.
After the concert ended, the six people left the concert hall one after another.
Wei Wei suggested: "Dr. Jay, you invited us to a concert today, and I will be the host in the evening. How about inviting a few of us to dinner together?"
"It must be okay to eat." Qu Xiaoxiao was the first to respond.
But Guan Ju'er suddenly said: "Sister Fan called me just now and said that everyone is here today and she wants to treat us to dinner to thank us for our help before."
"Xiaofan wants to treat you?"
"Yes, she said she also called her Mr. Wang Baichuan."
Wei Wei: "Xiao Wang is going too, what do you think about this, Jay Chou, Dr. Zhao, Andy?"
Andy hesitated and said: "Xiaofan has been under a lot of pressure in life recently, why don't you let me treat you?"
Zhou Chen doesn't care, as long as the five women on the 22nd floor gather together, he can complete the mission, and it will be the same for anyone.
At this time, Zhao Qiping said embarrassedly: "Mr. Wei, Director Jay, I'm so sorry. I have an operation tonight, so I won't have time to be with you."
"Ah? Wei Zhao, didn't you say there is no surgery today?" Qu Xiaoxiao became anxious upon hearing this.
Zhao Qiping explained: "Originally, there was no such thing, but I just received a call that a patient I was responsible for had a problem, so he had to have an operation tonight. I have to go back to the hospital later. I'm really sorry, you guys.
"
Zhou Chen and others expressed their understanding, but in the end Qu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to send Zhao Qiping away in a taxi.
"Dr. Zhao, what's wrong with him?"
Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao waving on the side of the road, Guan Ju'er asked in confusion.
Zhou Chen and the three of them were silent. They were all smart people and knew that what Zhao Qiping just said was just to evade. The reason why they wanted to leave was because of some problem with Qu Xiaoxiao, but they didn't say it clearly.
After Qu Xiaoxiao came back, she said very unhappily: "Have we discussed who is going to treat us tonight? I want to have a good drink."
Finally, in the evening, it was Fan Shengmei's turn to go to a restaurant not far from Ode to Joy. All five girls were present, and Zhou Chen successfully completed another mission.
Shengxuan Group!
Andy was working, and Tan Zongming was sitting opposite her.
"Have you made the decision to cooperate in depth with the Bao Group?" Tan Zongming asked Andy.
Andy nodded and said: "Bao Group's strength in the local area is indeed not weak. I also went to see their production line. Although the scale is much worse than that of Red Star, if we are included, there will definitely be a great chance to acquire Red Star.
"
A trip to Tongshi changed her impression of Mr. Bao a lot. She knew that he was not just a playboy, he had good abilities, and the Bao Group was not weak in strength either.
The Shengxuan Group is naturally very strong, but the target they want to acquire this time is also not weak. It is a large-scale acquisition worth billions or even tens of billions.
Of course, a large part of the problem does not come from money, but also from the pressure from local authorities. After all, Red Star was originally a major local taxpayer. If it is acquired by Shengxuan Group, it will become an industry under Shengxuan Group. At that time, it will have a negative impact on the local area.
It's definitely a big loss.
But if a local company can be roped in to acquire it together, and they can balance the local forces, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to the acquisition.
This was also the biggest reason why Tan Zongming introduced Mr. Xiao Bao to Andy.
Tan Zongming nodded and said: "Okay, you should think about this carefully, I believe you."
After talking about the company, he smiled and asked: "Is that Mr. Bao pestering you again?"
Andy smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, this guy is simply overconfident and exudes his so-called charm everywhere. He is so immature."
Tan Zongming changed the topic: "What about your brother Wei? How are you two developing now?"
Andy pondered for a moment and replied: "To use a Chinese saying, that is, more than friends, not enough lovers."
"Why? I see that he is chasing you very closely, and your attitude towards him is different from others. Why can't we become lovers?"
Tan Zongming was a little strange. He originally thought that Andy would become boyfriend and girlfriend with Wei Wei. Even though in his opinion, Wei Wei was not a good choice, he would still give his blessing if Andy chose it.
But why have the two of them still not succeeded until now?
Andy said distressedly: "It's my fault. I don't know what's going on, but I just can't take that step."
Tan Zongming advised: "Forget it if you can't take a step forward. Take your time. There is plenty of time and you don't have to think too much. This is not entirely your fault."
While chatting, Andy's cell phone suddenly rang. Andy picked it up and looked at it, and was stunned.
"What's wrong? Brother Wei's phone number?"
"No, it's Zhou Chen."
"Zhou Chen?"
Tan Zongming looked surprised: "Why would he call you?"
"I don't know either. Just stop talking. I'll answer."
Andy was also confused. She waved to Tan Zongming and answered the phone. A minute later, she hung up.
"He asked you to meet. What happened? Did he know about your relationship?"
Tan Zongming also heard what Andy said just now and knew that it was Zhou Chen who made an appointment with Andy, so he was very strange.
Andy shook his head and said, "Probably not. Maybe he has other things to do with me, so I won't have to work overtime at night."
"Go ahead. Although he doesn't know about your relationship, it's a good thing to spend more time with him."
Tan Zongming was happy to see Zhou Chen getting along with Andy, because he knew how much Andy cared about this younger brother.
In the evening, Andy took the initiative to attend the appointment and met Zhou Chen in a restaurant.
Andy was very happy. When he arrived, he saw that Zhou Chen was the only one and asked in surprise: "Why didn't you call Xiaoguan?"
Zhou Chen said: "Guan Guan is working overtime, and I asked you today because I wanted to talk about business, so I didn't call her."
"Business?" Andy was even more surprised when he heard about business.
Zhou Chen picked up the menu and handed it to Andy: "Don't rush to talk, you can order first."
Andy then picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes, and then while the dishes were being served, the two started chatting about the music they had listened to last time at the concert.
If she was talking with others and had already started eating but hadn't gotten to the main topic yet, Andy would definitely not be able to sit still. But with Zhou Chen, she was very patient and even wanted to chat with Zhou Chen for a while, so she was not in a hurry.
Let's go and ask about business.
When they were almost done eating, Zhou Chen slowly started talking about business.
"Andy, I heard that Mr. Tan hired you from Wall Street to help Shengxuan complete an acquisition, right?"
Andy nodded: "Yes, Shengxuan wants to acquire Red Star. This is no longer news in the industry. Why, are you also interested in this acquisition?"
"No, no, I'm not interested in this acquisition. We at Chenxing are not planning to get involved in this industry. I just want to know how long it will take to complete this acquisition?"
Under Andy's surprised gaze, Zhou Chen explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no other meaning. The reason why I asked this is because I am very interested in you and want to poach you."
"Dig me?"
Andy was even more surprised. She asked in confusion: "Zhou Chen, we are friends, but what you said is really hard for me to understand?"
Zhou Chen said: "You heard it right, I really want to recruit you to Chenxing, because we, Chenxing, will make many big moves in the next year. These things involve a huge capital chain, and I can only focus on myself."
It is limited, so I want to find someone to help me share the burden. I know your ability, so I want to hire you to work with our Chenxing Group and take charge of the financial aspects of the group."
Andy's expression became very serious and he confirmed: "Are you serious?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course, a good financial officer can help me save a lot of money. I need someone who is trustworthy and capable to help me take charge of the overall situation. I think you are very suitable. As long as you agree, whether it is salary or
In all aspects, I promise to be the best in the industry."
Zhou Chen's sudden invitation made Andy feel a little overwhelmed. This was his younger brother. If she was asked to help him with something now, she would definitely want to help.
But her reason told her that she couldn't agree so quickly. After all, her work at Shengxuan hadn't been completed yet, and now she was thinking about changing jobs. This was not her style.
"I need to think about this matter carefully and cannot give you a direct answer."
Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, this kind of thing is about your own will after all."
Andy's answer was as he expected. After all, the relationship between the two of them has not been made clear yet. Even if it was made clear, brothers would still have to settle accounts, let alone such an important matter.
