The world of film and television begins from childhood

"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you. Why, don't you want to see me?"

"No, I just didn't expect that the first person to come to the hospital to see me would be you."

When saying this, Wang Manni's voice became a little choked. She felt that her life was a failure. After so many years in Shanghai, in the end, there was not even a single friend who came to the hospital to see her.

The first person to come see her was actually Zhou Chen, whom she had known for only a short time. Although they had a relationship, they both understood that it was just a transaction between both parties and there was no emotion between them.

But the moment Zhou Chen appeared here, she was really touched. Even if Zhou Chen did nothing, just his appearance gave her great comfort.

This shows that her life is not such a failure. At least there are still people who care about her and visit her.

"What's that expression on your face? Are you so moved that you want to cry?"

Seeing Wang Manni’s pitiful eyes and that weak appearance, it is indeed a bit heartbreaking.

"Let me help you rock up the bed and talk?"

"Ah."

Wang Manni nodded vigorously. She had wanted to talk to someone for a long time, but these days, apart from the doctors, there were nurses and caregivers, and at most she could chat with her parents on the phone.

Zhou Chen helped her raise the head of the bed, then brought a stool and sat next to her.

"Looking at you, you seem to be very ill. Could it be that I was too..."

Wang Manni, who was preparing for her emotions, was instantly flushed by Zhou Chen: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a hospital, don't talk nonsense."

"It was acute nephritis, caused by overwork. I'm much better now, but I'm a little weak."

Zhou Chen said: "Being weak is not a small matter. I will have someone give you some nutritional supplements to replenish your body."

"No, really, I can buy it myself."

Zhou Chen said without question: "Although we haven't signed a contract or anything like that, we still have a relationship. This is just a small matter for me, so just bear with it. If you feel bad, just cook two more meals for me when you get better."

Facing Zhou Chen's gaze, Wang Manni could only nod helplessly and agree.

"When will you be discharged from the hospital?"

"I also want to be discharged early, but the doctor said I need to be observed for a few more days, otherwise there is a possibility of a relapse."

Zhou Chen has been a doctor for decades, so he is certainly familiar with this aspect.

"Nephritis is not a small problem. If you don't take it seriously, it will indeed bring serious consequences. In this case, you should stay in the hospital. If you need anything, just call me directly. Don't feel embarrassed."

"I understand. I'll tell you if I need anything."

Zhou Chen chatted with Wang Manni for an hour before leaving the hospital. They just talked about some trivial matters, and Wang Manni did most of the talking.

She must have been holding it in for a long time, so she is very talkative and can talk a lot.

Gu Jia has been very busy these days. Not only does she have to ask Mrs. Wang on the 21st floor for help with her son's kindergarten matters, she also has to find a solution for her husband's company matters, and at the same time take care of all the big and small things at home.

With so many things to do, an ordinary woman would definitely be overwhelmed, but Gu Jia seemed to be able to handle them all and was busy in an orderly manner.

Before she went to see Mrs. Wang, she thought that Mrs. Wang must be a capable person, but after meeting her, she was really disappointed.

Mrs. Wang, who lived on the most luxurious top floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion, was actually an uneducated woman. This made her despise her but also full of faith in her heart.

Even a woman like Mrs. Wang can live on the top floor of Grand Hyatt and enjoy the best life, so why can't she?

It was from the moment she met Mrs. Wang that Gu Jia's proud and restless heart began to become restless.

It has been a while since they moved into the new house. In addition, Zhong Xiaoqin recently discovered that she was pregnant, so Gu Jia decided to call both Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu over.

"Dad is really not coming?"

Xu Huanshan asked Gu Jia.

Gu Jia said: "I have already called. If he doesn't come, we can't tie him up and bring him here. Forget it. If he doesn't come, forget it."

She knew her father very well. He had a stubborn personality and if he didn't want to do something, it would be useless even if others forced him.

"Then let's call them Xiaoqin and Chen Yu?" Xu Huanshan asked.

In fact, the couple didn't have many good friends in Shanghai. He did have a group of brothers who often played football together, but he knew that Gu Jia was not very willing to have that group of people come home, so he didn't mention it.

Gu Jia said: "I was wondering if I should call another person."

"Who?"

Xu Huanshan looked surprised.

"Zhou Chen on the 20th floor."

"Is that the man who gave you the business card that time?" Xu Huanshan frowned instinctively.

"Correct."

Gu Jia explained, "Hubby, I know what you're thinking, but we haven't dealt with Mrs. Wang yet. If she's unwilling to help, the only person we can count on is Zhou Chen, so I want to build a good relationship with him first and invite him home."

Xu Huanshan said: "He's just someone we met once. Do you really expect him to help us?"

Gu Jia: "Even if he doesn't want to help, it's not a bad thing for us to have a relationship with him. He must have made many friends with powerful people in his medicinal materials business. Maybe he can help us in the future. More friends means more opportunities."

Xu Huanshan said dissatisfiedly: "We are making fireworks, and he sells medicinal herbs. We have nothing to do with each other. Why should we pretend to be nice to him?"

Seeing her husband start to throw a tantrum again, Gu Jia could only coax him, "Husband, we are in business, and doing business requires a wide range of connections. Zhou Chen is a well-known wealthy man in Magic City, a true upper-class elite. Many people want to get in touch with him, but they don't have the chance. We can't miss such a good opportunity."

"If you think it's right, then go ahead."

Xu Huanshan knew that he couldn't win the argument with his wife. It wasn't that he really hated Zhou Chen, but the aura around Zhou Chen was too strong, making him feel inferior in comparison.

So he didn't really want to stay with Zhou Chen. After all, everyone wants his wife to think he is the best.

"Okay, husband, don't be like this. I'm also considering my son and the company. At least Zhou Chen is much better than those difficult clients of ours."

After hearing what his wife said, and thinking about the troubles he had recently encountered due to arguments with clients, Xu Huanshan felt that there was some truth in her words.

"Since you are going to call him, I would also like to call Shen Jie over. What do you think?"

Shen Jie and Xu Huanshan are best friends, and like them, he also runs a fireworks company. Far from competing with each other, the two companies help each other. They can be said to be good brothers who share weal and woe.

Gu Jia said: "Of course there is no problem with this. Shen Jie is more eloquent than you. He can also talk to Zhou Chen a few words at that time, and maybe it will be helpful to his company."

She didn't want to hurt her husband's self-esteem, so she said it so tactfully. In fact, she knew very well that with Zhou Chen's status, the scale of their two companies would not be taken seriously by others.

To put it bluntly, the money that slipped through Zhou Chen's fingers was a huge order for them.

If they could get Zhou Chen's help, it would definitely be beneficial to their two companies.

Chapter 338: Moving to a New House, New Mission

"Hello, Zhou Chen, I'm Gu Jia."

Zhou Chen answered the phone and was stunned when he heard this sentence.

Gu Jia was his mission target, and he was still patiently waiting for the opportunity to contact Gu Jia. However, he did not expect that Gu Jia would call him before he took any action.

Although he had given her his business card before, he really didn't think that Gu Jia would contact him on her own initiative.

"Hello, Gu Jia."

"It's like this, Zhou Chen, we just moved into Grand Hyatt Mansion, and we're planning to invite friends to dinner at home. I wonder if you could do us the honor of joining us..."

After listening to Gu Jia's explanation, Zhou Chen finally understood why Gu Jia called him. It turned out to be to celebrate her housewarming.

What puzzled him was that their relationship had not yet reached the level of friends, but Gu Jia invited him to dinner. Was she asking for something, or did she want to get closer to him, or both?

Although he was doubtful, he still gave an affirmative answer.

"No problem, what time is it?"

"Noon two days later."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there then."

Zhou Chen thought about it and decided that since they were inviting him to dinner to celebrate their housewarming, he must bring a gift.

Having lived for so many years, he naturally knew what gift to give for a new house.

The seven necessities of life are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. He did not consider the others and directly chose tea, which is the most important thing he has.

After making the decision, Zhou Chen asked Zhang Jing to buy tea sets and tea leaves.

His secretary Zhang Jing has been really busy recently. Not only does she have to summarize all the company's matters, but she also has to help him with matters at the rehabilitation center and even handle his personal affairs.

Because Zhang Jing learns things very quickly, the previous secretary Wu has been transferred. Worried that she would be too busy, Zhou Chen has approved adding more people and allowed her to recruit people herself, either from within the company or from outside.

Zhou Chen would not ask about such trivial matters. If he had something to do, he would just tell Zhang Jing to do it. As for how Zhang Jing arranged it, he did not care, as long as the job could be done well.

He is not the kind of strict boss who does things in a methodical manner and wants to control everything.

He doesn't have that mindset and doesn't want to waste that energy. He just needs to control the overall situation and won't care too much about the details.

Coincidentally, the day Gu Jia invited him was also the day Wang Manni was discharged from the hospital.

He was originally planning to pick up Wang Manni, but now he has to give up. However, he still asked the driver to pick up Wang Manni from the hospital.

"Ms. Wang, my boss asked me to pick you up from the hospital."

Wang Manni had just packed her things when she saw Zhou Chen’s driver Cao Chengrui walk in.

Seeing that only Cao Chengrui came and Zhou Chen did not show up, Wang Manni asked with some disappointment: "Is he busy?"

"The boss had other things to do today, so he asked me to come over."

"I understand. I'm really sorry to bother you."

"This is what I should do."

…………

"I knew you wanted to buy fish as a housewarming gift."

Seeing the small fish in Chen Yu's hand, Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes. She knew that when her man thought of giving a gift, the first thing he thought of was fish.

Chen Yu is a tall and thin man wearing glasses. He looks gentle, except for some stubble on his mouth and chin. His simple clothes make him look a little unkempt.

"What's wrong with the fish? It's the best housewarming gift. It brings life to their place. You don't understand."

What he loves most in his life is fish. In his eyes, no gift can compare to fish. Giving fish as a gift shows his importance.

This couple is indeed a strange pair. One loves fish and the other loves cats. They are natural enemies. It is really not easy for them to become husband and wife.

"Too lazy to tell you."

Zhong Xiaoqin was used to Chen Yu's problems, so she didn't say anything more. Instead, she instructed him, "I told you in advance that this time Gu Gu not only invited us, but also two other people. One is Xu Huanshan's friend, and the other is also the owner of Junyue Mansion. Moreover, he has a very important background and is a super rich man with a net worth of billions."

Chen Yu asked in surprise: "Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan know such a person?"

In his opinion, although Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan have some money, the difference between them and the billionaires is not just a little bit, but a world of difference.

"What's wrong with knowing such a person? I know that person too. I've had conflicts with him before. He's the one I told you about before."

"The one with six parking spaces?"

Chen Yu asked in surprise.

Zhong Xiaoqin is a person who cannot hide things. After the incident happened, she went home and told Chen Yu.

She had hoped that Chen Yu would stand up for her, or at least scold Zhou Chen for being rich and unkind.

But who would have thought that Chen Yu not only did not scold her, but instead accused her of not being rigorous in her work and making random phone calls without clarifying anything, and that she deserved to be punished.

She was so angry at the time that she almost smashed the fish tank at home.

"Yes, it's him. Gu Jia didn't know when she met him. He even gave Gu Jia a business card. Chen Yu, you didn't see it. There were gold and diamonds on that business card. He is a real rich man."

Thinking of that somewhat important business card, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but start complaining.

Chen Yu said, "They have money, they can do whatever they want, why do you care so much? I already check the parking spaces every day, do you want to increase the workload?"

"Chen Yu!"

Zhong Xiaoqin yelled angrily: "Am I your wife or not? How can you speak for an outsider instead of your wife?"

"I'm here to help you with your affairs, not your marriage."

Chen Yu's calm demeanor made Zhong Xiaoqin furious again.

"When we get to Gu Gu's house, you better keep quiet."

Zhong Xiaoqin was more worried about Chen Yu. He was very straightforward and could say anything. If he accidentally offended Zhou Chen, she couldn't imagine the consequences.
