"You think everyone is like you?"
Chen Yu did not take Zhong Xiaoqin's words to heart. He was a news editor and had always wanted to be a reporter. He had met all kinds of people and had no shortage of experience in dealing with people.
Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu were the first to arrive at Gu Jia's house. Soon after, Shen Jie also arrived. He came alone. He was familiar with Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia, but not so familiar with Chen Yu and his wife. He just greeted them briefly and said a few words.
"Huanshan, I heard from you that there will be another powerful person coming here soon?"
Before Shen Jie came, he heard Xu Huanshan talk about today's game and knew that their family had also invited a very powerful person, but he didn't know the specific situation.
"He's on the 20th floor above us. He's the chairman of Huaxing Group. We met him once and he gave us a business card. Gu Jia insisted on inviting him this time."
"Gu Jia did the right thing. That's how you build connections. Otherwise, if everyone is like you, just focusing on design, it will be difficult for the company to grow and develop."
Shen Jie has known Xu Huanshan for many years. They are both in the fireworks business, so he knows very well how difficult this industry is.
The development of Xu Huanshan’s company is mostly due to Gu Jia. Xu Huanshan mainly provides designs and he is only the leader in name only.
"The chairman of Huaxing Group, right? Let me search for you."
Shen Jie took out his mobile phone and started searching the Internet. Xu Huanshan did not stop him because he had done something similar before.
After searching, Shen Jie quickly screamed, "Huanshan, are you sure you are the chairman of Huaxing Group?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you scared?" Xu Huanshan asked with a smile.
Shen Jie smacked his lips and said, "I'm really shocked. Huaxing Group is one of the best pharmaceutical raw material supply companies in Shanghai, with assets of over 10 billion. It's not even a listed company. Doesn't that mean that this is a company where only one person has the final say?"
There are many large companies in China with amazing assets but which are not listed. Generally, these companies do not need financing. Most of them are controlled by a certain person or a certain force. They do not need financing to expand the company, nor do they want to share power with others.
"Huanshan, have you met the other person in person?"
"I have seen him. He is about our age, maybe younger than us."
"Tsk tsk, it's really irritating to compare people with each other. We have worked hard for ten years, and we can't even compare with each other's fingers."
It's hard to say whether the combined assets of the two of them can exceed 100 million, but Zhou Chen controls a large group worth over 10 billion. If you really count them, they are not even as much as one of Zhou Chen's fingers.
Xu Huanshan sneered, "We are different from him. We started from scratch, and he inherited the family business. I heard from my wife's best friend that their family has been passed down for more than a hundred years, so they can have the current prosperity. If we work hard for a hundred years, we will not be worse than him."
Shen Jie laughed: "Your idea of self-consolation is quite good."
At this time, Gu Jia came over, looked at the laughing Shen Jie, and asked, "What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily."
"We are talking about the guy upstairs in your house. Huanshan said that if he fought for a hundred years, he would definitely not be worse than him."
After hearing what Shen Jie said, Gu Jia said confidently: "It doesn't take a hundred years, just give us twenty or thirty years, and we will definitely be able to achieve it."
"Just now I thought Huanshan was crazy enough, but I didn't expect that this heroine in your family is even more exaggerated than you."
"Of course, this is my wife. I can't find her even with a lantern."
Just then, the doorbell rang. Gu Jia's expression suddenly straightened and she said, "The real owner is here. You guys should be careful later."
Suddenly, the expressions of Shen Jie and Chen Yu changed, and they looked towards the door expectantly, but Xu Huanshan looked as if he didn't take it seriously.
Gu Jia opened the door and saw Zhou Chen standing at the door. She immediately said with a smile on her face: "Zhou Chen, you are here."
"Sorry, I was late for something. Did I bother you?"
Zhou Chen was actually the closest, but he didn't come so early, mainly because he wasn't too familiar with Gu Jia and the others. If he came too early, while Gu Jia was cooking, would she let him chat with Xu Huanshan?
"No, no, we haven't started yet. You're not too late. It will probably take a while before we can eat."
Gu Jia smiled and welcomed Zhou Chen in. "We didn't invite anyone today, just two friends of mine and Huanshan."
Zhou Chen followed Gu Jia into the house and saw several people standing in the living room. One of them was Xu Huanshan. In addition, there were two men and one woman. He also knew the woman, who was Zhong Xiaoqin.
"Mr. Xu, congratulations on your new home. This small gift is just my humble token of respect."
Zhou Chen first greeted Xu Huanshan, and then handed him the packaged tea set.
Although Xu Huanshan was a little resistant to Zhou Chen, he certainly would not show it. He declined with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, it's our honor that you're here. You're really very polite to bring a gift."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's a housewarming celebration. How can I come here without a gift? Mr. Xu, don't be too polite. We are neighbors upstairs and downstairs, and we will be together for a long time in the future."
"Huanshan, Zhou Chen is right. We are all neighbors, so just accept it."
As soon as Gu Jia spoke, Xu Huanshan stopped being polite and thanked Zhou Chen before formally accepting the gift.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a set of tea sets, which didn't look cheap.
Gu Jia introduced other people to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, this is Shen Jie, a friend of Huanshan and me. He is in the same industry as us and is also in the fireworks business."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Shen Jie is very enthusiastic. He is smarter than Xu Huanshan. Even if he cannot do business with a super rich person, becoming friends with him will be a kind of asset in the future.
"It is really my honor to meet Mr. Zhou."
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shen Jie: "Mr. Shen, you are too polite. I think people who work in the fireworks industry must be romantic. I am not like that. I don't understand romance at all, so I am still single."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you're joking. You must be overwhelmed by the choices."
Shen Jie originally thought that a wealthy man like Zhou Chen would be very serious and solemn, but Zhou Chen's sudden joke made him like him more.
The other people couldn't help laughing as well, they wouldn't believe what Zhou Chen said.
With Zhou Chen's wealth, he can find any kind of woman he wants. The reason he hasn't gotten married is definitely because he hasn't met the right one.
After greeting Shen Jie, Gu Jia pointed at Zhong Xiaoqin and introduced her: "Zhou Chen, I'm sure you are familiar with this person. This is my best friend Zhong Xiaoqin. I heard that she accidentally offended you last time. Today I am here to be a peacemaker. I hope you can forgive her. She is a very confused person, and she is even more confused in her work, so she accidentally offended you."
Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and said, "I am a little surprised. I didn't expect that you two are still friends. In this case, I must give you this face. Miss Zhong, let's just forget about the last incident. You don't need to watch over the parking space anymore. I am sorry to bother you during this period of time."
Zhong Xiaoqin quickly said, "No, it was my fault in the first place. I deserve to be punished. Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be polite."
"Zhou Chen, this is Zhong Xiaoqin's husband, Chen Yu. Mr. Chen is an editor at a TV station and writes very well."
Gu Jia knew that Zhou Chen was not the kind of person who talked nonsense. Since he had said it, he would definitely not target Zhong Xiaoqin anymore. So she didn't say anything more and instead introduced Chen Yu to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen originally wanted to say hello immediately, but suddenly the system made a move.
"Meet the main plot characters and trigger the mission."
"Task 4: Successful Career: Chen Yu is in a period of being unappreciated for his talent. Help Chen Yu to achieve his career success. Never let the female be stronger than the male in the family."
Zhou Chen never expected that when he met Chen Yu, he would actually give him a task.
However, the content of this task seemed to require him to be a good person, a saint, and help Chen Yu unconditionally.
Zhou Chen, who has watched the TV series, knows very well what kind of person Chen Yu is.
He is definitely not a good husband at home, but he is quite conscientious at work.
It is definitely not an easy thing to come from a small place to work hard in Shanghai and own a house of your own.
From a female perspective, Chen Yu is definitely a scumbag. They think that people like him should not get married. He uses cold violence all day long. Anyway, for women, they can find a thousand things wrong with Chen Yu.
From a male perspective, Chen Yu’s behavior is actually understandable, especially for married men, many people can understand it.
Because there are too many men like this in real life. They were not like this at the beginning, but were gradually forced to become like this.
It is true that Chen Yu does not understand romance and cannot coax women, but it was not like this at the beginning. It can be seen that Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin were very loving at the beginning, and he did a lot for Zhong Xiaoqin.
But as time went by, the passion faded, and he used more actions to express his feelings and was less willing to talk. However, Zhong Xiaoqin was very confused and could not see the good in Chen Yu at all.
But this is not just his problem. Zhong Xiaoqin also has many problems.
Anyway, for women, domestic violence and cold violence are not acceptable. A man should be around her all day long, coaxing her, apologizing when she is unhappy and praising her when she is happy. Only then can he be considered a good man.
In short, if a marriage is unhappy, it is mostly the man’s fault, and in the end, the woman bears all the consequences alone...
This task was not difficult for Zhou Chen. With his current status and position, helping Chen Yu was a very simple matter.
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind. With a smile on his face, he shook hands with Chen Yu.
"Hello, Teacher Chen. Being a screenwriter for a TV station is a good job. People without literary talent will definitely not be able to do it well. Teacher Chen must have good literary talent."
Chen Yu said modestly: "No, I don't have any literary talent, I'm just lucky enough to get into this unit."
"To be honest, I always wanted to be a writer and wrote a lot of novels and poems. Unfortunately, I had to give up writing in order to inherit the family business. So I really envy people like Mr. Chen who are so talented in writing."
"is it?"
Chen Yu also became interested when he heard this: "How can someone as busy as you still have time to write?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That was all in the past. It's no longer possible now. I can't write anymore."
Chen Yu said: "People like you are well-informed. If you really have time to write, you will definitely be able to write good articles."
"Teacher Chen, you are too kind."
"No, tell the truth."
Looking at Chen Yu and Zhou Chen chatting enthusiastically, Zhong Xiaoqin was a little stunned.
This is a bit weird. Isn't her husband a man of few words? How can he chat so well with a wealthy man like Zhou Chen?
Not to mention her, even Gu Jia was surprised.
"Zhou Chen, Teacher Chen, it seems that you have found a common topic."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I have to thank you for introducing me to Teacher Chen."
Chen Yu said politely: "It is my honor to meet you, Mr. Zhou."
At this time, Sister Chen, Gu Jia's nanny, came over.
"Jia Jia, everything is ready and can be served."
So, Gu Jia immediately asked everyone to sit down.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 339 Inviting Chen Yu, the scheming woman comes to the door
Several people sat down at the long table. As the head of the family, Xu Huanshan, naturally sat at the head. Gu Jia, Xu Ziyan and Zhong Xiaoqin sat on the right, while Zhou Chen, Chen Yu and Shen Jie sat on the left.
In fact, no one cared much about it, but they still insisted that Zhou Chen sit in the front row.
Although no one said it explicitly, everyone placed Zhou Chen in a high position in their hearts. After all, Zhou Chen's social status was much higher than theirs.
Xu Huanshan is not a good talker, so the atmosphere at the dinner table still depends on Gu Jia.
"Zhou Chen, Shen Jie, Teacher Chen, do you want to drink white wine or red wine?"
Chen Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I have to drive later, so I won't drink."
Gu Jia: "How can this be possible? We are all friends today. We finally got together. How can we not drink? If we want to drive, we can just find a designated driver when the time comes."
Xu Huanshan also advised: "Yes, Teacher Chen, drink some, let's all drink some."
"this."
Although Chen Yu didn't want to drink, since the other party had said so, it would be too disrespectful if he refused again.
Gu Jia spoke to Shen Jie again: "Shen Jie, are you okay?"
Shen Jie laughed and said, "I don't care, white or red is fine."
Finally, Gu Jia asked Zhou Chen again: "Zhou Chen, do you have something to do this afternoon? If not, let's have a drink together."
Zhou Chen said: "I don't mind."
Xu Huanshan said: "Then we men will drink white wine, and you and Xiaoqin will drink red wine."
Gu Jia glared at him: "What are you talking about, Xiaoqin is pregnant now, what kind of wine do you drink?"
"Snapped."
Xu Huanshan slapped his head and shouted, "Oh, I forgot, I forgot about this, Xiaoqin, I'm sorry."
Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and said, "It's okay, I can drink some orange juice."
Gu Jia took the opportunity to wink at Xu Huanshan, who immediately understood what his wife meant, so he smiled and said to Chen Yu: "Teacher Chen, I really want to congratulate you. You're going to be a father."
This should have been a happy occasion, but Chen Yu, who was not prepared, replied stiffly, "Thank you."
Shen Jie didn't understand, but he also said: "For us men, being a father is definitely the happiest thing. Teacher Chen, congratulations."
Chen Yu smiled stiffly again: "Thank you."
Zhou Chen understood Chen Yu's thoughts. Although Chen Yu's thoughts made sense, to be honest, Zhou Chen did not agree with his idea.
