The world of film and television begins from childhood

Stocks are a quick way to make money, and Zhou Chen has been studying them for decades. Although he cannot be said to be a living stock god, he is definitely much better than ordinary stock experts.

But even so, Zhou Chen seldom buys stocks, because the more he understands, the more cautious he becomes. This is all capital speculation. It is easy for you to drink some soup, but if you want to eat meat, there is only one way, and that is to turn yourself into capital, otherwise you will become a leek sooner or later.

And I don’t know if it’s because he has gained more experience, but now that he is not short of money, Zhou Chen is not as interested in things like financial stocks as before.

If he had a choice, he would rather do physical business.

Although physical businesses are increasingly squeezed, things that can be seen and touched still make people feel more reassured.

He has already met Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni, and the mission has been triggered. He has met two of the three heroines, and the only one left is the other heroine, who is also the most popular character in this TV series.

Gu Jia, he hasn't met her yet.

Chapter 331 Wang Manni as a Nanny

At around five o'clock, Zhou Chen received a call from the property management downstairs, saying that a lady claiming to be from the Misia store was going to the 20th floor and that she had an appointment with him.

Zhou Chen knew that it was Wang Manni who came, so he asked the property management to help her swipe down the elevator and let her come up.

Wang Manni was holding her handbag and looked nervously at the property lady who was on the phone, waiting for the other party to hang up.

"Miss, we have confirmed with Mr. Zhou, you can go up, please follow me."

Wang Manni breathed a sigh of relief immediately. When she arrived at the high-end residential complex of Grand Hyatt Mansion, she was somewhat uneasy.

Because this place is so high-end, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter. Even if they are delivering food, they need to get confirmation before they can enter.

Wang Manni followed the property staff to the elevator. The lady swiped her card first, and then said very kindly, "Miss, please."

Standing in the elevator, Wang Manni looked at herself at the smooth wall, straightened her clothes, and waited until she reached the 20th floor before she took a deep breath and walked in.

Walking out of the elevator, I saw a corridor about 20 to 30 meters long in front of me. The corridor was paved with bright floor tiles and decorated with gorgeous wall tiles on both sides.

Luxurious but not vulgar.

At the end of the corridor is a big gate, with one staircase and one household. There is only one family here, which is the home of her target guest this time.

Just such a corridor has shocked Wang Manni. What shocked her was not only the corridor, but also the value and dignity of this house.

If she could have such a house, her life would not be lived in vain.

With her high heels stepping on the floor, Wang Manni walked towards the door in the depths step by step.

Standing in front of the door, looking at the dark door, she couldn't see what was special about it, but she could see that it must be very expensive.

After taking another deep breath, Wang Manni rang the doorbell.

After about ten seconds, the door opened, and then she saw Mr. Zhou, whom she had just met in the afternoon.

At this moment, he has changed out of his suit and put on casual home clothes, which makes him look younger.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to bring you some clothes."

"come in."

Zhou Chen nodded, turned and walked into the living room.

Seeing this, Wang Manni carefully closed the door and followed Zhou Chen into the living room.

As soon as she entered the living room and saw the luxurious decoration, Wang Manni was shocked.

First of all, the living room was too big, larger than the entire house she had rented for several thousand dollars. Also, the decoration was like the difference between her place and this place, between a thatched hut and a big villa.

"There's purified water in the refrigerator, help yourself."

Zhou Chen walked to the sofa and sat down, then said to Wang Manni.

Wang Manni quickly said, "No, I'm here to deliver some clothes. Mr. Zhou, would you like to take a look?"

"No, you can just hang them up for me, okay?"

"That's no problem, so where is your bedroom?"

"there."

"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Zhou."

As she spoke, she walked into Zhou Chen's bedroom. Like the living room outside, the bedroom was also luxuriously decorated, especially the ceiling lights, which were more dazzling than the chandeliers in the living room of the house she rented. Every corner of the room exuded luxury.

It’s not like Wang Manni hasn’t been to her clients’ homes before, but when she tried hard to recall, she found that none of their decorations could compare to this one, even those clients who lived in big villas.

The bedroom was very large and had its own dressing room. The area of ​​the dressing room alone was larger than her bedroom, which made her intoxicated and yearning for it.

This place met most of her fantasies about her own house and was the place she had always dreamed of.

The cloakroom, in particular, made her excited. It was such a large cloakroom, filled with clothes and shoes.

"so perfect."

Wang Manni couldn't help but exclaimed. There is no woman who doesn't want a dressing room of her own, but most women don't have the conditions.

She would pay half of her salary for a good balcony, and she would be willing to pay all her salary if she could live here.

But she also knew very well that even if she was willing to pay all her salary, she probably wouldn't be able to live there.

Looking at the clothes, shoes, etc. in the cloakroom, Wang Manni couldn't help but complain that the number was not less than hers.

The difference is that she saved money to buy the clothes and bags, but to others, they were just a drizzle.

Zhou Chen was waiting patiently in the living room for Wang Manni to come out. It was just hanging a few pieces of clothes, which wouldn't take much time at all. But Wang Manni hadn't come out yet, obviously fascinated by the things in the room.

Several minutes later, Wang Manni came out of the bedroom, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry, your cloakroom is so tidy that I don't know what to do with it. It took me so long."

"It's okay. My things here are all packed by the nanny. Aunt Yang has served me for twenty years and knows my habits best."

Wang Manni was relieved. She was just wondering how a man could keep his clothes so neat and tidy and his leather shoes so shiny. It turned out that all this was done by the nanny.

Moreover, Zhou Chen's words revealed some information. It was unexpected that a nanny could stay in the master's home for twenty years. It seemed that this man definitely did not become rich on his own. His elders must be equally rich.

Perhaps it was true as the deputy store manager thought, that Zhou Chen came from a big family.

"Mr. Zhou, I have delivered the things, so I will take my leave now."

Although she was reluctant to leave this place, Wang Manni knew that this place did not belong to her, so she prepared to say goodbye and leave.

But just as she was about to turn around, Zhou Chen suddenly asked, "Can you cook?"

"what?"

Wang Manni was confused. She came to deliver clothes, so why did she ask her if she could cook?

"My nanny Yang Ma didn't come today because she had something to do, and I'm too lazy to eat out, so I asked if you can cook."

"Ah I……"

Wang Manni still didn't react. She didn't know how to answer. Asking her to cook was too...

She didn't know how to describe it.

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, "Why, don't you know how to cook?"

"No, I can cook, but I only know how to cook home-cooked meals, and I'm afraid they won't suit your taste."

"As long as you can cook it, there should be ingredients in the refrigerator. You can cook it as you like."

Zhou Chen did not give Wang Manni any room to refuse and gave the order directly and domineeringly.

Facing the overbearing Zhou Chen, Wang Manni was not angry, but felt uneasy. She was afraid that Zhou Chen would not be satisfied with her craftsmanship and his impression of her would be greatly reduced.

Wang Manni is so realistic. If the person who gave her the order was not Zhou Chen but an ordinary man, she would definitely not say anything.

But this person is Zhou Chen, that's different. Even though Zhou Chen gave her orders impolitely, she actually felt that Zhou Chen was very manly and particularly charming.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try. I hope you don't mind if the result doesn't suit your taste."

Finally, Wang Manni decided to give it a try. She was prepared to use all her skills. If she could make Zhou Chen eat well, maybe they really would have a chance to develop further.

"It's okay. I'm not picky about food. As long as it's clean, that's fine."

Zhou Chen had even been in a military camp in the 1990s, and the food there was no way could be as good as the home-cooked meals of this era.

"There are slippers in the cabinet at the door. You can go and change your high heels."

Although there are rarely guests at home, Mother Yang is very serious about her work and still prepares a lot of disposable slippers.

Wang Manni went over to change her high heels, and then walked to the kitchen. The kitchen was not an open kitchen, but it was very large and had all kinds of kitchen utensils.

Wang Manni wanted to ask where the apron was, but when she saw Zhou Chen sitting on the sofa reading a notebook, she held back and looked around before she found the apron.

When she opened the refrigerator, she saw a lot of things inside, neatly arranged, with both vegetables and meat, and even some ingredients that she had only seen on TV.

She didn't dare touch the expensive ingredients. She just picked some ordinary ingredients and then started to work.

Cooking is a very tiring job, but Wang Manni didn’t feel tired at all at this moment. Instead, she felt very happy.

Cooking in such a mansion was a dream for her. At this moment, she actually felt like the hostess.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. She was still dreaming in broad daylight. Maybe Zhou Chen asked her to cook just because he treated her as a nanny or a servant.

More than half an hour later, Wang Manni brought the dishes she had prepared to the table, then cleaned up the kitchen and walked in front of Zhou Chen.

"Mr. Zhou, the food is ready. Please take a look and see if it suits your taste."

Zhou Chen stood up from the sofa. "You don't have to call me Mr. Zhou, or come and go. Just call me by my name. My name is Zhou Chen."

Wang Manni opened her mouth, and seeing Zhou Chen's unquestionable look, she said obediently, "I know, Zhou, Zhou Chen."

"Ah."

Zhou Chen walked to the long table and looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table. Wang Manni quickly explained: "Don't be surprised, I don't know your taste, I just made it according to my own skills."

"It's okay, it's just a meal, there's nothing to worry about."

As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite: "Hmm, not bad."

Wang Manni immediately showed a satisfied smile. This compliment made her happier than buying clothes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars just now.

"Then take your time eating. I'll be leaving first."

Zhou Chen frowned and said, "Why are you leaving? Sit down and eat with us."

Wang Manni was flattered and said, "That's not good. No need for that."

"I told you to sit down, so you sit down. You are not my servant. You helped me cook, so I treated you to a meal. It is only natural that you should sit down."

Faced with the powerful Zhou Chen, Wang Manni sat down reluctantly.

Chapter 332 Showdown, bottom line, first encounter with Gu Jia

For Wang Manni, it was her first time to have dinner with a wealthy man worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in such a mansion worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

So even though she cooked the meals herself, she didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks and instead just watched Zhou Chen eat secretly.

When she saw Zhou Chen eating very seriously, she felt even more satisfied. She had no confidence in her cooking skills. She felt that someone like Zhou Chen must have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and her home-cooked dishes would probably not be accepted by Zhou Chen.

But Zhou Chen ate with gusto and didn't show any disgust at all, which made her very happy.

"Do I look good while eating?"

The sudden words made Wang Manni's face turn red and she was very embarrassed.

"You made it yourself, why are you only eating so little? Are you trying to lose weight?"

"No, mainly because I'm not hungry yet."

In fact, in this place, how could she have an appetite to eat? Aren’t the men here attractive? Aren’t the houses attractive?

Zhou Chen didn't say anything else and continued eating.

Wang Manni’s cooking is indeed average. Anyway, judging by Zhou Chen’s many years of experience, it is just real home cooking. It doesn’t have any special features, but it’s not bad either.

After eating, Zhou Chen was not polite and said directly: "Since you don't want to eat, let's sit over there and talk."

Of course Wang Manni had no objection, and followed Zhou Chen to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Unlike Zhou Chen who sat down casually, Wang Manni seemed very reserved. Even after such a long time, she was still restless.

"Is it profitable to do sales in a luxury store like you do?" Zhou Chen asked.
