Zhou Chen drove Xiang Nanfang and rode for more than twenty minutes before arriving at his destination.
Looking at the cafe in front of him, which was obviously more unique than the surrounding shops, Xiang Nan looked surprised.
"When did this cafe open? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Zhou Chen replied: "It has only been open for a few months. I found it when I was passing by for school. The business was very good at the beginning. It was a novelty store after all, but now it is not as prosperous as it was at the beginning. I don't think it will be open for long."
It’s time.”
"Can you see this too?"
Xiang Nanfang's two beautiful big eyes stared at Zhou Chen. Isn't Zhou Chen a medical student? How come he knows so much about this kind of thing?
"When doing business, customer base is very important. This cafe is good, but the consumption is not low. There are not many people who can come here often. Most of them are young men and women. They don't care about spending when they pursue romance, but time
Once it gets longer, it won’t keep coming.”
Zhou Chen's explanation made Xiang Nanfang roll his eyes and asked: "What do you mean, you brought me here to pursue romance?"
"Ahem!"
Zhou Chen coughed twice in embarrassment, "Of course not, I just think this place is nice and suitable for talking about things. Don't get me wrong."
Xiang Nanfang asked again: "Do you always come to this kind of place to talk about things?"
Zhou Chen knew that he could no longer remain passive. If a woman wanted to entangle her, it was best to change the subject quickly, otherwise she would say the wrong thing sooner or later.
"Let's go in first."
With that said, he walked into the coffee shop first.
Xiang Nanfang smiled happily, didn't bother anymore, and happily followed Zhou Chen into the coffee shop.
Zhou Chen found a seat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks.
"How do you feel after attending college for half a year?" Zhou Chen took the initiative to ask Xiang Nanfang.
Xiang Nannan thought for a while and said: "There must be changes. Life in college is completely different from high school. The students have become more mature and the atmosphere is different."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That is the capital of our country, the most prosperous place."
"The capital is indeed much more prosperous than our Jinling. Why didn't you want to go to the capital in the first place? Otherwise, we could stay in the same city."
Xiang Nanfang felt a little regretful. She went to Capital University of the People's Republic of China, and with Zhou Chen's grades, she could have gotten into any university in the country. It was a pity that Zhou Chen chose a medical school that no one expected.
"The capital? I really don't want to go."
In the first few worlds, he stayed in the capital for many years, so in this world, he doesn't want to go to the capital to develop. It's good to stay in Jinling.
What's more, he still has to complete his mission and must stay in Jinling.
"University can be regarded as a small society. With your personality, you should get along well with your classmates, right?"
Xiang Nannan has a cheerful personality and makes friends easily, but he is also very strong. If he meets someone who is equally strong, he may not necessarily get along well with him.
Xiang Nanfang: "It's not bad. I made a lot of friends. The National People's Congress gathered top students from all over the country. When I got there, I realized how ordinary I was."
In Jinling, because her father was a big leader, she was always the center of attention, and there were always people fawning over her.
But when she arrived in the capital, the center of the country, although she was outstanding, she was definitely not the best. Fortunately, her mentality was very good and she was not disturbed.
Zhou Chen said: "You can't say that. You don't have to belittle yourself so much. You are not ordinary at all, you are very outstanding."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment."
Xiang Nanfang, who was praised by Zhou Chen, showed a happy smile.
"Although we have many outstanding students at China National University, I think they are still not as good as you. If you go to the capital, no matter which school you go to, you will definitely become the most dazzling one."
After living in the capital for nearly half a year, she had met many outstanding male classmates, but she felt that those male classmates were far inferior to Zhou Chen in every aspect.
In her opinion, an outstanding man like Zhou Chen should go to the capital to make a living, but Zhou Chen only wanted to stay in Jinling, which made her not very convinced.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and did not answer. He has experienced so many worlds and has lived for more than a hundred years. If he can't compare with a group of boys in their teens and 20s, then his life has been a failure.
.
"Everyone has different ideas. I just want to study medicine well and be with my family. I don't want to leave my hometown and pursue my so-called lofty ideals."
Xiang Nannan rolled his eyes and said: "What you said, people who don't know would think that you are middle-aged. In this life, shouldn't you do more things, go out more and make more contributions to socialism?"
Do you want to make a contribution?"
"So enlightened."
Giving a thumbs up to Xiang Nannan, Zhou Chen praised: "What the country needs most is a responsible person like you. I can't do it. I'm too lazy. I can only contribute to the country in other ways."
"Obvious."
Xiang Nanfang snorted coldly, and then coffee and snacks were served.
Zhou Chen took the initiative and asked: "Would you like some milk or sugar?"
"Actually, I don't drink much coffee. You can help me mix it."
"Okay, then I will sweeten it for you. Girls probably like sweet things. There is also this snack. You can also eat more, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight."
Zhou Chen helped Xiang Nanfang make coffee while pushing snacks in front of her.
Xiang Nanfang was not polite either. She enjoyed Zhou Chen helping her like this.
"You are so considerate, you should already have a girlfriend, right?"
Zhou Chen laughed: "What kind of girlfriend are you looking for? Isn't it good to study medicine? I want to respond to the country's call to marry later and have children later, and I will never get married before I reach my age."
"Just blow it."
Xiang Nanfang didn't believe what Zhou Chen said at all, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he asked: "Last time you said in your letter that you wanted me to help you with something. What was it about?"
Zhou Chen said: "Nanfang, we have known each other for many years. If I have anything to say, I will just say it directly."
"Of course I'll be honest. Do you still want to play riddles with me?"
"That's not true, it's because this matter is more troublesome and you may need your father's help."
"Please ask my father for help?"
Xiang Nannan stopped eating the snack and looked at Zhou Chen in shock.
Growing up in a cadre family, she saw too many people who wanted to ask her father for help, and there were also various people who wanted to gain connections with her family.
But she felt that Zhou Chen should not belong to this type of person.
Feeling a little disappointed, she asked: "Is it because of this that you asked me out?"
Zhou Chen heard something wrong from Xiang Nanfang's tone. He looked directly at Xiang Nanfang and said softly: "No, calling you out is the real thing. Asking your father for help is just a side note. Let's put it this way, it doesn't actually matter.
It’s not that you have to ask your father for help, but…”
Before Zhou Chen could finish speaking, Xiang Nanfang interrupted: "I understand, please tell me, what's the matter?"
She was really curious about what happened to Zhou Chen and wanted to trouble her father, because a smart person like Zhou Chen must have understood that after saying these words, it would probably affect their relationship.
But he still said it, which means there are only two possibilities. One is that Zhou Chen really uses her as a springboard and wants to get to know her father, and his contact with her is just utilitarian.
The other is that Zhou Chen felt that even if he said such words, it would not affect their relationship, so he said it openly.
She must have preferred the latter option, so she asked directly.
"It's not my business, it's my parents'. The textile factory where they work is about to run out of business, so I want to help them acquire the textile factory where they work."
Xiang Nanfang listened very carefully. When she heard the first half of the sentence, she thought Zhou Chen wanted to use her father to help her parents find a job, but when she heard the second sentence, she was dumbfounded.
"The textile factory being acquired is the state-owned textile factory?"
Xiang Nanfang is not a novice who doesn't understand anything, so he was shocked.
As far as she knew, the textile factory was quite large, and she also knew that Zhou Chen's family was an ordinary working-class family.
Now Zhou Chen actually said that he wants to acquire a textile factory. Are you sure this is not a joke?
"Yes, it's that state-owned textile factory. My parents haven't reached the age of retirement yet, so I want to give them the whole career. They have been working in the textile factory for so many years and have feelings for it. They can't bear it to close down, so I
I want to help them acquire the textile factory and hand it over to them to manage."
"Zhou Chen, do you know how much that state-owned textile factory is worth? Even if your family is rich, it is a state-owned factory. Do you think it will be sold to private individuals?"
Even though he knew Zhou Chen was very powerful, Xiang Nanfang still thought Zhou Chen was too whimsical when he heard that Zhou Chen wanted to acquire a textile factory.
Zhou Chen didn't explain much. He took out a file bag from his bag and handed it to Xiang Nannan.
"This is the plan I made. You can take a look at it first. If you think it's okay, help show it to your father. After he reads it, it's best if he wants to see me. If he doesn't want to see me, then this is the plan.
Just pretend I didn’t say anything about it.”
"Add one more condition." Xiang Nanfang suddenly said.
"ah?"
Zhou Chen looked shocked.
Xiang Nanfang smiled and said, "I mean, whether my dad sees you or not, you have to agree to one condition."
Zhou Chen said without thinking: "Okay, what are your conditions?"
"Please let me watch a movie."
"good."
This was not a condition at all. Zhou Chen immediately agreed. He did not object to joining Xiang Nanfang. As for what will happen in the future, why bother thinking so much.
Xiang Nanfang suddenly smiled widely, looked at the portfolio in front of him, and asked, "Is this the acquisition plan you made yourself?"
"right."
"Then can I take a look? I really want to know what kind of acquisition plan a person studying medicine would make and show it to my dad with such confidence."
If it were anyone else, she would have felt that she was being fooled, but after seeing Zhou Chen's genius, she felt that maybe there would be a surprise.
She went to the National People's University and did not major in economics, but she was born in a cadre family and was influenced by her ears and eyes. She still has some understanding of the current situation. She cannot understand the inside, but she can still see something about the outside.
Zhou Chen said: "No problem, just take a look at the flaws in my plan. If you can help me improve it, that would be even better."
After getting Zhou Chen's permission, Xiang Nanfang opened the file bag and took out the plan inside.
"Hey, it's quite thick. It seems you are serious."
After sighing, I opened the plan and read it carefully.
Time passed slowly, and only the sound of Xiang Nanfang turning pages was left. Xiang Nanfang's expression slowly turned serious and solemn from the casual one at the beginning.
More than half an hour passed before Xiang Nanfang took his eyes away from the plan, and then immediately looked at Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, was this plan really made by you? Alone?"
"Of course, I'd like to give you some advice."
Seeing Zhou Chen's half-smiling expression, Xiang Nannan gave him a hard look.
"You know how to make fun of me. Although I am not studying economics, I can understand a lot after seeing your plan. I can't give you any suggestions, but I can guarantee that I will take this plan back to you.
Let my dad take a look."
"Thank you, Nanfang." Zhou Chen said with sincere gratitude.
Xiang Nanfang asked: "But is the content in your plan true? The complete acquisition of textile factories and workers is not a small matter. Are you sure your family can sustain it? After all, there are thousands of workers.
ah."
Zhou Chen said: "That's why I wrote in the plan that after the acquisition, I will need the district's help with loans in the early stage. This is also the biggest trouble at present. As long as it succeeds, I am 90% sure that I can revitalize the textile factory."
The textile factory belongs to the manufacturing industry. He has never been involved in textile manufacturing, but the manufacturing industry is no stranger. The factories and workers are readily available. As long as he has start-up capital, it is not difficult for him to make money from money.
He has management knowledge and advanced concepts that are decades ahead of today's era. He can handle large groups with hundreds of billions of dollars easily. For him, a small textile factory is just a little troublesome in the early stage.
What's more, he doesn't plan to manage it himself, he just acts as a think tank for his parents and provides advice.
Xiang Nanfang's eyes were filled with surprise, mixed with admiration: "I didn't expect that you actually have talent in this area. I think you should not study medicine, but rather serve the people."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That's because you haven't seen my medical skills yet. My medical skills are very good, and they are no worse than my business talent."
"You're still out of breath after just a few words. You've only studied medicine for a few years, and you dare to say that you have great medical skills?"
Xiang Nanfang looked disdainful, rolled his eyes and said: "But since you said so, then you can let me see it and see if there is anything wrong with me."
"You actually used yourself as a guinea pig. It's really your fault."
Zhou Chen smiled helplessly, and he was a professional when asked: "If you don't mind, let me take your pulse."
Judging from Xiang Nanfang's complexion, there is nothing wrong, and there are no instruments here. If you want to know more accurately, taking your pulse is naturally the most reliable way.
"bring it on."
Xiang Nanfang generously extended his hand in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen put his finger on her pulse. Although Xiang Nanfang's hand was very white and slippery, as a professional doctor, he had received strict training, so how could he be fooled by a mere beauty.
Seeing that Zhou Chen actually started to feel his pulse, Xiang Nanfang immediately pursed his lips and smiled, because Zhou Chen really looked like an old Chinese doctor like this.
It didn't take long for Zhou Chen to let go of his hand.
"How's it going? Am I sick?"
Xiang Nanfang was as interested as if he had gotten some fun toy.
"Sick, crazy?"
These words made Xiang Nanfang amused again, and he stared at Zhou Chen suspiciously: "I think you are just bluffing me. You have only been studying medicine for a long time. No matter how talented you are, you can't learn much in such a short time."
Zhou Chen stopped joking and said slowly: "Then you may be disappointed. I am still very confident in my medical skills. There is indeed no major problem with your body, but there are also some minor problems. Do you want to hear about it?"
Xiang Nanfang became even more suspicious: "It's true or false, don't lie to me."
"I said, listen, right? You'll know soon."
"Okay, you tell me, I'll listen."
Zhou Chen said: "You have some indigestion and lack of supplements. It is because the food you have eaten recently is too greasy and over-nutritional. Your mental state is not good either. You must have been tired some time ago. In addition, your experience
It’s also a bit unusual, it should be…”
"Stop, stop, stop."
Xiang Nanfang's face turned red and he yelled "Stop" three times in a row. He asked in a very dissatisfied tone: "Zhou Chen, do you know how to chat? How could you say such things in front of a girl?"
Zhou Chen shrugged and said: "It's not enough to hide a disease and avoid medical treatment. Now I am a doctor and you are a patient. Of course, the doctor must give professional guidance to the patient. In front of the doctor, there is no distinction between men and women."
Xiang Nanfang hummed a few words to express his dissatisfaction.
Seeing Xiang Nanfang's deflated look, Zhou Chen laughed happily, which made Xiang Nanfang curse angrily.
"But these are all minor problems. I will write you a Chinese medicine prescription later. You can go back and drink it for a few days and you will recover."
