Chapter 462: Dissatisfied Fan Shengmei and Andy celebrate the New Year together
"Congratulations, congratulations to Guan Guan and Handsome Zhou on their marriage!"
In the private room of the hotel, several girls from the 22nd floor of Ode to Joy gathered together and raised glasses to congratulate Zhou Chen and Guan Ju'er on their engagement.
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
Guan Ju'er is shy on the surface, but she is very happy in her heart. Among the girls on the 22nd floor, her fiancé is the best, which makes her very proud.
Qu Xiaoxiao waved her hands and said loudly: "Guan Guan is the youngest among us, but now she is the first one to get engaged. Andy, Sister Fan, Qiu Yingying, you must work harder."
Andy said indifferently: "I'm not in a hurry. For me, it doesn't matter whether we get married or not."
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "Andy, don't be so modest. Without Mr. Wei, don't you still have Mr. Xiao Bao? I think Mr. Xiao Bao is very suitable for you."
Andy said: "You should pay more attention to yourself. I heard that you broke up with Dr. Zhao?"
Qu Xiaoxiao shrugged and said: "We are not breaking up, it is just a matter of emotions. We will reconcile soon."
Listening to the five girls chattering there, Zhou Chen did not participate in their conversation, but chatted with Tan Zongming.
"Dr. Jay, your Douyin activities have been very popular recently. The 500 million red envelope is even more popular than the Fortune Treasures."
"There is no way. What Douyin does is traffic. If you want to monetize traffic, the easiest way is to use money."
Tan Zongming gave a thumbs up: "No wonder Jay Chou's business can be so big. This courage is far beyond the reach of others. I admire him."
Although he has a lot of wealth, he doesn't have the courage to spend 500 million to give out red envelopes at once.
But the most important thing is that although he is the largest shareholder of Shengxuan Group, there are also board of directors who are restricting him. But Zhou Chen is different. In Chenxing Group, he is like a man of his word. As long as he wants to do it, he can really do it.
No one can object.
"I heard that Director Jay Chou wants to recruit Andy to Chenxing?"
"I do have this idea. I'm really sorry, Mr. Tan, for not informing you about this matter in advance."
Tan Zongming waved his hand and said: "Director Jay Chou misunderstood, I didn't mean it. I invited Andy back. She is my friend, not just my employee. I will not stop her from wherever she wants to go."
Zhou Chen said: "Mr. Tan is really open-minded. I see that you are so good to Andy, and you two are single. Have you never thought about pursuing Andy?"
Tan Zongming sighed melancholy, "I have known Andy for many years, but precisely because I know her so well, I don't dare to confess, because I'm afraid that we won't even be friends in the end."
Zhou Chen advised: "Mr. Tan, although I am younger than you, I have a piece of advice: you should not hesitate when facing love. Looking forward and backward will only make you regret it."
"Thanks for the advice, I will seriously consider it."
After this dinner, everyone has already started to return home, because there are only a few days until New Year's Eve.
Guan Ju'er was sent back by Zhou Chen, and he also sent new year's goods to his future father-in-law's family. The other girls on the 22nd floor also went home separately.
Near the end of the year, the effect of Douyin's card collection and red envelope activities has been reflected. After the event started, Douyin's traffic increased dramatically and its activity doubled.
However, Zhou Chen knew very well that this was only a temporary phenomenon. After the event was over, the most important thing was how many people could stay.
After seeing Guan Juer off, Zhou Chen stayed at the company for the next two days. Employees could take a relaxing vacation, but for him, he couldn't relax at this time.
Fan Shengmei went home with Wang Baichuan. Wang Baichuan drove. The two of them bought a lot of things and set off from the Magic City towards Tongshi, their hometown.
Fan Shengmei used to go home either by car or by train. This was the first time for Fan Shengmei to go home by private car, so she was in a particularly good mood.
"After a busy year, I can finally go home."
Fan Shengmei had a smile on her face. Although her home was a mess, it was still her home. Her parents and brother could go home during the Chinese New Year, which made her very happy.
She knew a lot of people in Shanghai, and they didn't even have to go home during the Chinese New Year, so compared to those people, she was still happy.
"Xiaomei, you are in such a good mood."
When Wang Baichuan saw Fan Shengmei happy, he also laughed happily.
Fan Shengmei said: "Of course, after all, it's the New Year, so of course I'm going to be happy, but when I think about how I'm one year older, I still can't gain a foothold in the magical city, alas."
Looking at Fan Shengmei who suddenly became depressed again, Wang Baichuan comforted him: "Xiao Mei, don't think so much. Believe me, we will definitely be able to buy a new house within this year."
Fan Shengmei's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked: "Wang Baichuan, are you so confident?"
Wang Baichuan looked proud: "Of course, Xiaomei, you don't know yet, but I have already hooked up with Zhou Chen and completed a deal with Chenxing Pharmaceutical."
"What? Completed the order?"
Fan Shengmei looked shocked: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Wang Baichuan smiled and said: "It was completed two days ago. I didn't tell you. I just wanted to give you a surprise. Xiaomei, do you know how much I earned from this order?"
"How many?"
Fan Shengmei asked impatiently. She felt that if she could do business with Zhou Chen's company, she would definitely make less money.
Wang Baichuan stretched out a hand and made a six sign.
Fan Shengmei thought for a moment, 60,000 yuan is too little, and it is impossible to make Wang Baichuan so happy. If it is 6 million, the possibility is very low. After all, it is the first time to do things with Zhou Chen, and 6 million for a single order is too much.
Exaggerated.
So he asked tentatively: "Six hundred thousand?"
"As expected of Xiaomei, I guessed it right right away. Yes, I did make 600,000 yuan on this order." Wang Baichuan smiled broadly.
"Really? That's great."
Fan Shengmei was equally excited. She didn't even care that Wang Baichuan was driving. She just kissed Wang Baichuan, which made Wang Baichuan's heart tremble.
"You can earn 600,000 yuan from the first order. You are worthy of being the chairman of Chenxing Group, Wang Baichuan. After this order is completed, will there be any follow-up?"
Wang Baichuan: "Yes, Xiaomei, you don't know the scale of Chenxing Pharmaceutical. The amount of medicinal materials they need is staggering. With the help of Director Jay, I have obtained the authorization for some medicinal materials. As long as I can find a suitable medicinal material supplier,
If the medicinal materials are qualified, they will accept them, but I have to negotiate the price myself, and they just gave me a base price."
"From what you say, it's almost the same type of job as the one you did before. Give me a base price. As for whether you can negotiate and how much you can earn, it all depends on your own abilities."
"Yes, that's the truth. There is still room for maneuver, but the price is very difficult to negotiate. It took me more than a month and traveled to several provinces to finally negotiate an order worth nearly 20 million.
The final profit was only 900,000 yuan."
"Nine hundred thousand, didn't you say six hundred thousand?" Fan Shengmei asked in surprise.
Wang Baichuan replied: "The total profit was 900,000, but I also gave 300,000 to Mr. Qu. I got 600,000, but I contacted medicinal material dealers everywhere before and spent nearly 300,000 in the process, so to be precise
, I only made more than 300,000 yuan from this one."
"However, I can earn more than 300,000 yuan in more than a month, which is much better than what I did before. And this is just the beginning. Chenxing Pharmaceutical needs a large amount of medicinal materials, and there will definitely be more orders in the future, so we want to
To make money, we must maintain the relationship with Jay Chou. As long as this relationship continues, there will be endless opportunities to make money in the future."
"etc."
Fan Shengmei interrupted Wang Baichuan: "What did you just say? The total profit was 900,000, and 300,000 was given to Mr. Qu. Is this Qu always Qu Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, that's her."
"No, why should you share the money you earned with Qu Xiaoxiao?"
"Xiao Mei, I forgot to tell you that in this business with Chenxing Pharmaceutical, Mr. Qu actually also contributed. When I was able to take over from Director Jay, Mr. Qu was a big help, and she also helped contact many medicinal material dealers.
It’s also appropriate to give her a portion.”
Fan Shengmei was not happy: "Why? You were responsible for running around and spent more than a month. In the end, Qu Xiaoxiao was in the magic city and took away one-third of your profits without doing anything.
, the money I earned in the end was almost the same as yours.”
Wang Baichuan said: "Xiao Mei, this is the business world. It doesn't mean whoever pays more will definitely earn more. Mr. Qu has the resources we need, and she also contributed to the negotiation. This part
Give her the money and you won’t lose anything.”
Fan Shengmei didn't know, but he knew that if it weren't for Qu Xiaoxiao, he might not have earned a penny of this money. He shared a part of the profits just to maintain the relationship. It's not like we just did it once and then broke up, there would be more in the future.
We must continue to cooperate.
Under Wang Baichuan's explanation, even if Fan Shengmei was dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do. She and Qu Xiaoxiao didn't like each other very well, and she naturally felt even more unhappy when she thought that Qu Xiaoxiao had taken away 'their family's' money.
"Xiao Mei, this business is difficult at the beginning. You can make so much for the first time, and you will definitely make more in the future. Don't worry, according to this trend, we will be able to save the money for the down payment in the first half of this year. Let's not go there then.
If you’re in the outer ring, just buy in the middle and inner rings.”
Wang Baichuan, who said these words, was full of momentum, which also made Fan Shengmei shine.
"Really? Can we really buy a house in Inner Ring and Central?"
"Of course."
"Ah, it would be great if this could be done. The transportation is convenient and it saves time and effort when going to work."
"Yes, Xiaomei, I promised you that I will definitely let you live a good life, so I will definitely buy the house and it will definitely satisfy you."
Fan Shengmei's eyes shone brightly and she said coquettishly: "Wang Baichuan, you are so kind."
…………
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen drove back to Ode to Joy from the company. Most of the company's employees were on vacation today, and even the dedicated driver was on vacation, so he had to change the driver.
Originally, their family had been celebrating the New Year at Tan Palace in the past few years, but today Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi insisted on celebrating the New Year at Ode to Joy. There was no other way, so Zhou Chen had no choice but to obey them and rush back to Ode to Joy to celebrate the New Year after get off work.
Zhou Chen arrived at the 21st floor, opened the door and went in. He was suddenly stunned.
I saw that in addition to Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi, there was an unexpected visitor in the living room of the house.
"Andy, why are you here?"
That's right, the person who appeared at Zhou Chen's house was Andy, and she was sitting next to Sun Yi at the moment.
Sun Yi explained: "When I went out today, I met Miss He. I heard that she was going to celebrate the New Year alone, so I asked her to come over and join us. The Chinese New Year requires a lot of people to make it lively."
In fact, she had invited Andy to celebrate the New Year with her very early. At this time, she was no longer worried that her son would be taken away. So although she was not ready to tell Zhou Chen about it, she would not be able to avoid Andy and instead invited her
Celebrate the New Year together.
Andy stood up: "Uncle and aunt are so enthusiastic, I really can't refuse, so I came over. If you feel uncomfortable, I will..."
"It's okay. You can sit down. We are all friends. You are celebrating the New Year alone anyway, so it's just right for you to be with us."
Zhou Chen interrupted Andy and indicated that he didn't care.
But he already knew it. It seemed that this was not the first time Andy and his parents had come into contact, and they might have known the truth. Otherwise, his parents would not have taken the initiative to invite Andy to celebrate the New Year, and Andy's character would not let her
I would like to spend the New Year with them.
Seeing that Zhou Chen had no objection, Andy felt relieved. She was really afraid of Zhou Chen's rejection. After all, this was the first year that she had the opportunity to spend together after finding her brother.
In the past, adoptive parents rarely celebrated the Spring Festival abroad. This was the first time in her memory that she and her younger brother had celebrated the Spring Festival.
Soon it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Zhou Guofu specially took out a bottle that he had treasured for a long time.
"Ms. He, if you drink some wine tonight on New Year's Eve, will you be fine?"
"It's okay, uncle, I can drink less."
"Xiaochen, you come too, come and pour the wine. Pour your mother a small glass too."
Zhou Chen poured four glasses of wine. Zhou Guofu raised his glass first and said, "Today is the last day of several years, and tomorrow is the New Year. I wish you a Happy New Year first. Let's drink this glass."
"Dad, Mom, I respect you, thank you for your hard work."
"Uncle, aunt, I respect you too..."
"Miss He, don't be so polite, just go home and eat and drink when you need to."
…………
For Andy, this night was undoubtedly a happy one. Being able to eat New Year's Eve dinner and celebrate the New Year with his brother, there is nothing happier than this.
She drank a lot that night, but her mind was still very clear. She wanted to remember the happiness of this night.
This year is also a special year for Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi. Their son is engaged and their son’s biological sister has been found. Things will get better and better in the future...
For Zhou Chen, this year has also been very fulfilling. The most important thing is that his mission has finally officially begun. In his estimation, the mission can be completed in two or three years at most.
He has stayed in this world for too long, more than twenty years, and he rarely stayed in the previous worlds for more than twenty years.
After midnight, he did not fall asleep. Instead, he kept a video call with Guan Ju'er, and was also waiting for the company's statistics.
