The world of film and television begins from childhood

In short, Zhizhenyuan, which was originally on the cusp of the storm, suddenly stood on the wave.

On February 8th, after many days, Zhou Chen came to Zhizhen Garden again. This time, he walked through the main entrance.

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived, Li Li knew it immediately and went to the main entrance to greet Zhou Chen in person.

"Mr. Zhou, welcome."

"Ms. Li Li, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as beautiful as ever."

Li Li showed a bright smile: "Mr. Zhou, please come inside."

Zhou Chen didn't come alone. There were two people behind him. They were carrying things in their hands. Although Li Li saw it, Zhou Chen didn't say anything, so she didn't ask first.

Zhou Chen and Li Li walked into the private room, and before sitting down, he said: "Last time I came to Zhenyuan, I ate and drank for nothing, and I didn't bring any gifts. I promised to make up for it when I left. No, today I will Brought it."

He pointed to the items being carried over there.

Li Li said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is so polite. It is our great honor to have you come. There is no need to bring any gifts."

"I've brought them all anyway, why don't Miss Li take a look?"

Li Li looked at the smile on Zhou Chen's face and then looked at the wrapped things. She was really curious. She knew that someone like Zhou Chen would definitely not be able to give a simple gift, so she nodded.

"Since Mr. Zhou is so enthusiastic, let me take a look. If it is too valuable, I dare not accept it."

Zhou Chen said: "Whether it's expensive or not depends on who is right. Let's talk about it after Miss Li reads it."

He nodded to the two people carrying the items, and then the two of them opened the wrapped things.

Soon, a large photo frame appeared in front of everyone. Under Li Li's surprised eyes, a portrait painting appeared in front of her eyes, causing her expression to change suddenly.

"This is?"

Not only Li Li, but also Manager Pan who was accompanying him looked shocked.

This is indeed a painting, but it is not an ordinary portrait painting, but a portrait of Li Li. The image of her in the painting is exactly how she looked when she met Zhou Chen on the day she opened her business.

Li Li was shocked for a while, then turned to Zhou Chen and asked, "Mr. Zhou, this painting?"

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I drew it by myself. How about it? It took me seven days to draw you in my memory. There may be some deviations, but it should be 70-80% similar. Miss Li, what do you think? How about this painting?"

Li Li was silent for a long time, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "I have received many gifts, but this kind of gift is unprecedented."

She was extremely shocked and unbelievable. If this was really painted by Zhou Chen, then she and Zhou Chen had only met twice, and they had not been together for a long time. Without her at the scene, Zhou Chen could use his memory to To make such a perfect painting is simply incredible.

But the facts are in front of her. The portrait is her. Her appearance and clothes cannot be faked, especially that outfit. She only wore it on the opening day and had never worn it before.

Moreover, with Zhou Chen's status, there was no need to lie and deceive her. Why should he lie to her and care about her and her person?

She came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was still so calm that his expression could not be seen.

"Mr. Zhou, your gift is really too expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"This portrait is you, and it was originally prepared for you. If you can't bear it, who can?"

With a strong memory, super hands-on ability, and painting skills that practice makes perfect, his painting skills have really reached a very high level. You can say that the charm is a bit lacking, but in terms of similarity and authenticity, His paintings are absolutely speechless.

"That's it. I don't like to take back what I give away. If you really don't want it, then I can only destroy it."

"Don't."

Li Li shouted reflexively, and then saw the unspoken expression on Zhou Chen's face, feeling helpless.

"I accepted it."

This portrait is hers. Even if she is not an artist, when she sees this portrait of herself, she is reluctant to destroy it and just wants to treasure it.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much. This gift from you is the most special and precious gift I have ever received in my life."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "As long as you like it, how many meals can this painting be worth?"

Li Li smiled and said: "Forever, this painting is enough for Mr. Zhou to stay in Zhizhen Garden for free forever."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, please."

Li Li asked Manager Pan to accept the painting and send it to her residence upstairs. She didn't have time now. When she was alone, she must appreciate the painting again.

Zhou Chen came to the private room and said to Li Li: "I heard that Mr. Bao's words made Zhizhen Garden popular again."

Li Li said: "Yes, Mr. Bao is worthy of being Mr. Bao. In one sentence, a portion of fried beef has put Zhizhenyuan on the forefront."

"Then the fried beef river must be selling well recently, right?"

"It's not only good, almost most of the guests who come to Zhenyuan will order a piece of fried beef river."

Even Li Li smiled bitterly when she thought of the dry-fried beef river that had been so popular in the store these days. She underestimated Mr. Bao's influence.

"Mr. Zhou, can I ask you a question?"

"You want to ask, why did Mr. Bao say that Zhizhen Garden has been open for less than three months?"

"That's not it. I was confused at the time, but now I understand it. It's really not that easy to open a restaurant on Huanghe Road. What I want to ask is, why did Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bao come to Zhenyuan from the small kitchen in the back? Door in?"

Zhou Chen smiled slightly. Of course he knew why Mr. Bao entered through the small door at the back. As for him, he just found it interesting and took a look at the kitchen of Zhizhenyuan. He had no other special intention.

But since Li Li asked, he gave an answer.

"A layman looks at the facade, an expert looks at the back door!"

Li Li frowned slightly. She somewhat understood, but not completely, but she still thanked her gratefully.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for reminding me."

Zhou Chen just smiled lightly and said: "You're welcome. Rather than closing down Zhizhen Garden, I actually want to see Zhizhen Garden stay well on the Yellow River Road. Only in this way will there be more excitement. "

Chapter 1307 I’m not interested in money

"lively?"

Looking at Zhou Chen's slightly excited expression, Li Li felt that something was not right. The reason why Zhou Chen didn't want Zhenyuan to close was because he wanted to see more excitement?

Zhou Chen said with a natural expression: "Yes, compared to the business on the Yellow River Road, I think the excitement on the Yellow River Road is more interesting and better to watch."

Li Li suddenly remembered the information about Zhou Chen that he had heard from Jing Xiu before.

"Mr. Zhou likes to watch the excitement. Could it be that the venture capital meeting on Huanghe Road was just for the excitement?"

In fact, this is what many people are confused about, because if Zhou Chen wanted to hold a venture capital conference, there are many places in Shanghai to choose from, but Zhou Chen chose a hotel on Yellow River Road as the venue for the venture capital conference. It seems strange no matter how you look at it, It's just that few people can guess Zhou Chen's thoughts.

She asked this question only because Zhou Chen told her that he liked to watch the excitement, which gave her a flash of inspiration and thought of this ridiculous possibility.

"Ms. Li Li is indeed smart. Although it is not entirely correct, it is almost the same. Yellow River Road still has some special meaning to me. It will make it more lively and interesting."

Li Li secretly smacked his tongue, spending so much money and setting up such a big battle just to make Huanghe Road more lively?

She didn't completely believe it, but she also felt that there was no need for Zhou Chen to lie to her, and who could be sure that Zhou Chen's investment really wasn't profitable?

But no matter what, Zhou Chen made Yellow River Road more lively, which was definitely beneficial to her in every possible way.

"Mr. Zhou treats money like dirt. He is really different from ordinary people like us. It is really admirable."

"Haha, who in this world really has no desire for money? The only difference is that some people care and some people don't care."

"Mr. Zhou really doesn't care?" Li Li asked curiously.

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Money is not that important to me now, because even if I lose everything, I can make it back if I want."

"Mr. Zhou is so confident?"

"of course."

Zhou Chen answered affirmatively. With his current ability, whether he is in modern society or ancient feudal society, he can make money quickly as long as he wants. He may not necessarily become rich, but he will definitely be able to make money in the shortest time. Earn enough money to enjoy his life.

Li Li's eyes flickered and he suddenly asked: "If you fail in a certain investment, not only do you lose all your money, but you also owe a lot of debt, and you can't even see the chance of rising again, what will you do? What choice will you make?"

When Zhou Chen heard Li Li's question, he immediately understood what she was thinking and why she asked such a question, because this was the situation Mr. A faced back then.

"First of all, I will not encounter this situation now; but if I encounter this situation, my choice is to get up from where I fell. At the very least, for the people I love and who love me As a person, I will never give up and will definitely get back up."

Li Li clenched his hands unconsciously, remembering that day when the man jumped into the river and committed suicide out of despair.

To this day, she still can't forget the scene that day. It was the biggest nightmare of her life.

She could understand Mr. A's despair at the time, but she still couldn't agree with his choice, so instead of leaving with the money Mr. A left her, she chose to take the initiative to bear Mr. A's debts and came to Huanghe Road.

That's why she had great emotional ups and downs when she heard Zhou Chen's words. Although the person she loved in her heart was Mr. A, she still felt that the choice Zhou Chen said was the more responsible one.

"How many people like Mr. Zhou are there in the world?"

"That's because you think too highly of me. In fact, there are many people like me in the world. They may not have as much money as me, but in terms of willpower, they will never be worse than me."

Zhou Chen never thought that he was gifted. In the real world for more than 20 years, he was just an ordinary person. If there was no system, he would be an ordinary person all his life.

But with the system, he has unlimited possibilities, allowing him to compete with elites from all walks of life, and allowing him to experience countless different lives.

"Miss Li, aren't you busy today?"

"Mr. Zhou is the most distinguished guest of my Zhizhen Garden today. Of course, I have to give you priority. Besides, I have benefited a lot from talking with Zhou Chen."

"Miss Li, you are ridiculous. I am just an ordinary person, but I am not as powerful as you said." Zhou Chen looked indifferent.

While they were talking, Min Min, the foreman of Zhizhenyuan, had already started serving food, so Li Li didn't stay any longer, said something to Zhou Chen and left the private room.

There were many customers in Zhizhen Garden, and it was almost twelve o'clock before it was ready to close.

Because it was too late to open the restaurant, Li Li usually lived on the rooftop of Huanghe Road.

At this time, she was staying in her room, looking at the painting placed on the wall, her eyes full of complicated emotions.

The girl in the painting is her most ordinary moment. Zhou Chen's painting skills are really amazing. Even the most ordinary her turns out to be such an artist after being painted.

This painting is definitely a masterpiece. In her eyes, it is even more exciting than those precious and handed down paintings. After all, she is the one on it.

'A cook has become the famous CEO Zhou in Shanghai, and now you have shown such excellent painting skills. How many hidden secrets do you have? '

Originally, she only regarded Zhou Chen as someone who could help her increase her reputation in Zhizhenyuan, and she wanted to get closer to him. However, after contacting Zhou Chen twice, she found that Zhou Chen was not the same as everyone she had interacted with in the past. no the same.

In such a materialistic and money-oriented Shanghai, Zhou Chen, as a businessman, actually said that he has no desire for money and that money is not important to him. Is this what a normal businessman would say?

She had a strong curiosity about such a man.

On February 14th, Valentine's Day, Huxi Knitting Factory's Sanyang brand T-shirts were put on the market. Fei Xiang became a hit and immediately became a hit, and sales exploded.

The star effect of this era is still very powerful, and Fei Xiang is the top star idol of this era, and his song "A Fire in the Winter" is even more famous.

He was invited by Mr. Bao to make Sanyang Pai popular, which gave Sanyang Pai a good start and became popular all over Shanghai.

When Zhou Chen learned the news, he also asked someone to buy a T-shirt made of burnt mercerized cotton. In his eyes, such a T-shirt was nothing, but in this era, it is definitely the trend among trends. The quality is not much worse than Montagut, and the price is several times cheaper than the original Montagut. Coupled with Fei Xiang's popularity, it's hard to believe it won't be popular.

It has to be said that Mr. Bao still learned a lot from the old mage uncle. After coming into contact with Mr. Fan and the Sanyang brand, he took all the initiative in his own hands. Even if there was a high imitation incident, he He also found a response plan as quickly as possible, and even temporarily changed the plan, and was able to make a big impact. This ability is really not exaggerated.

Just from this one business, Mr. Bao made at least several million, excluding all kinds of expenses.

In this day and age, such a business is definitely the dream of countless people.

For those businessmen, Mr. Bao was able to turn an unknown Sanyang brand into a famous Shanghai brand, which is what they pursue.

This is also the reason why Mr. Bao is so popular on Huanghe Road. Doing business with Mr. Bao not only makes you profitable, but also brings you fame. Who wouldn’t want to cooperate with him?

Sanyang brand T-shirts have been selling like hotcakes for several days in a row and have been in the newspapers. They have become one of the hottest topics in Shanghai recently.

As the protagonists of this incident, Mr. Fan and Mr. Bao are also very famous. Mr. Bao is okay, after all, he was already very famous before, but Mr. Fan was just an unknown person in Shanghai, so this time Three things exploded, and he was the one who benefited the most.

Fan Xinhua has been having a celebration party almost every day these days. Before a person is famous, no one cares about him, but once he becomes famous and gets the limelight, he has friends everywhere.

This is the current situation of Mr. Fan. People who he had no contact with in the past are now saying hello to him. Even if they don't know him, they will become familiar with him immediately after drinking two glasses of wine.

On this day, Zhou Chen came to Huanghe Road again. Just as he was about to enter the True Garden, Lu Meilin suddenly shouted to him.

"Mr. Zhou, why have you been to Zhenyuan these few times? When will you come to Jin Meilin for dinner?"

Zhou Chen turned to look at Lu Meilin and saw that although she was smiling, her eyes were very sharp, so he smiled softly.

"Let's talk about it when I want to go."

After saying that, he ignored Lu Meilin and walked straight into Zhizhen Garden.

Lu Meilin used his reputation to show off her authority on Huanghe Road all day long. He was already polite enough without thinking about it, and she still expected him to support her?

Lu Meilin's expression turned ugly. She could naturally sense Zhou Chen's attitude, but no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to really fall out with Zhou Chen. She could only snort in displeasure and turned around and walked in. .

The proprietresses of other big hotels on the Yellow River Road also looked at this scene, some with bad expressions, and some with gloating.
