The world of film and television begins from childhood

If you are not pregnant, there is nothing wrong with this idea, but now that you are pregnant, you are thinking about having an abortion, which is really a bit immoral.

Besides, he is a pediatrician and hates abortion the most.

After all, it is the birth of a little life. You brought him here, but now you want to send him away. It is really cruel.

"Teacher Chen, congratulations."

Zhou Chen also congratulated him. Although he felt that Chen Yu’s idea was wrong, they had just met each other and it was not his place to interfere in such matters.

Gu Jia went to get two bottles of Moutai, one bottle was just enough for four glasses to share with the four men, and she poured herself a glass of red wine.

After the wine was poured, Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia raised their glasses.

"Everyone is welcome to come and help warm up our new home. My husband and I would like to offer a toast to everyone first."

"You're welcome, Gu Gu."

"Too polite."

…………

Zhou Chen and others raised their glasses and clinked them with Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia.

Although Xu Huanshan doesn't talk much, Gu Jia is definitely a good talker. With her around, there's no shortage of people to liven up the atmosphere, and there's always talk and laughter throughout the dinner table.

After all, Zhou Chen was not familiar with them, so he seldom spoke and just listened to them. Although Gu Jia tried to pull him to talk several times, he just responded with a few simple words.

However, Chen Yu and I chatted a lot and even clinked glasses several times.

After dinner, while the woman was clearing the table, the four men began to rest.

Chen Yu helped Gu Jia's family set up the fish tank, while Xu Huanshan, Shen Jie and Zhou Chen sat on the sofa and chatted.

"The fireworks market is becoming increasingly difficult to operate. Many places have begun to ban fireworks, and some large-scale events have also begun to slowly reduce the amount of fireworks used. Sigh."

The four men drank two bottles of wine in total. Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie were both a little tipsy and gradually spoke more freely.

When talking about the fireworks industry, both of them looked worried. Xu Huanshan's company had recently encountered troubles. Although Shen Jie did not encounter any troubles, his company's development was stagnant and there was no progress. It was far worse than in previous years.

"Yes, now the orders are getting fewer and fewer, while the customers' requirements are getting higher and higher. They keep pursuing beautiful and dazzling products, but are unwilling to increase costs, which makes our profits lower and lower. Recently, there have been some minor problems with capital turnover."

Listening to Xu Huanshan's lament, Shen Jie patted him on the shoulder and said, "If there is anything you need my help with, be sure to ask."

"What is our relationship? If necessary, I will do it." Xu Huanshan was not polite.

As the two were talking, Shen Jie suddenly intentionally pulled Zhou Chen over.

"Zhou Chen, your medicinal materials industry is still good. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health preservation and rely more and more on medicine."

After drinking together just now, our relationship became closer and everyone started calling each other by their names.

Zhou Chen said: "It's not as easy as you think. Our family relies on traditional craftsmanship to cultivate medicinal materials. However, scientific progress is getting faster and faster, which has had a great impact on traditional craftsmanship. We don't want to ruin our reputation. Our production is limited, and it is becoming more and more difficult to do business with the impact of more and more quick-growing medicinal materials."

He was not lying when he said this. With the advancement of science, new technologies for the cultivation of medicinal materials have naturally emerged. The Zhou family has always relied on traditional craftsmanship to cultivate them. Although the quality of the medicinal materials is much better, the quantity cannot be increased. This is also the reason why it is difficult for Huaxing Group to continue to expand.

Since the original body took control of the group, he has always wanted to try to open up new ways, but this step is not so easy. After several years, there has not been much progress.

"Is that right?"

Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie both looked surprised. They were just amazed at the wealth of Huaxing Group and Zhou Chen. As for the problems and difficulties of Huaxing Group, it was simply not something that outsiders like them could see.

The three of them sat together and talked about business matters. In fact, it was mainly Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie who talked, and Zhou Chen just interjected a few words occasionally. However, even his casual words benefited Shen Jie a lot. However, Xu Huanshan, who was a bit of a literary youth, did not quite understand what Zhou Chen meant.

After Chen Yu finished catching the fish, he also joined the conversation, but he talked more with Zhou Chen, ranging from editing literature, to current affairs, to journalists.

Although Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin did not join in the men's chat, they were watching them.

"Xiaoqin, I really didn't realize that your teacher Chen could get along so well with Zhou Chen."

Gu Jia was amazed as she watched Chen Yu and Zhou Chen chatting enthusiastically.

The main reason she invited Zhou Chen here today was to get closer to Zhou Chen and allow Xu Huanshan to communicate more with Zhou Chen.

But it turned out that Xu Huanshan had no such intention at all and was a bit too reserved. On the contrary, Shen Jie was more active.

But now it seems that the one who really benefited was Chen Yu. The usually taciturn Chen Yu actually got along so well with Zhou Chen, which was really beyond her expectations.

Zhong Xiaoqin was also very surprised: "I don't know what's going on. He usually doesn't talk to me at home, but he got along so well with someone he met for the first time. I almost doubt whether he is my husband."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "This is a good thing for you. Zhou Chen is the richest man in Shanghai. If you can become friends with him, it will definitely be of great benefit to your teacher Chen. You should talk to him when you go back. Talk to Zhou Chen more often in the future."

Zhong Xiaoqin said: "He is a person, well, I will try my best."

The meal didn't end until around three o'clock in the afternoon. When Zhou Chen said goodbye to Chen Yu, he gave him some encouragement.

"Mr. Chen, if becoming a reporter is your dream, I don't think you should give up. Family is very important, but a man cannot be completely bound by his family. I think with your major, you can definitely become a very good reporter."

"I have an important project on hand, and I just happen to be in need of a professional reporter to help me collect materials. I think you are very suitable. Go back and think about it carefully. If you are willing to come, I promise that the treatment will satisfy you."

Chen Yu was really moved when he heard that. He really wanted to be a reporter, but the job of a reporter in a TV station was not very stable. He was forced to live a stable life, so he chose to be an editor. However, this editing job really made him more and more upset recently.

"Zhou Chen, thank you. I will seriously consider it when I get back."

He didn't think that Zhou Chen was making fun of him. He was a billionaire. How could he joke with a small TV station editor like him?

It is very likely that Zhou Chen happened to have a job as a reporter, and after talking to him, he found that he was a good fit, so he said this.

It was just that it was impossible for him to give an answer immediately for such a big matter. He needed to go back and discuss it with his wife, and also think about it seriously on his own.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news. You already know my private phone number. If you make a decision, you can call me directly."

The new task is to help Chen Yu suppress Zhong Xiaoqin. Even if Zhong Xiaoqin is really possessed by a European emperor and becomes famous for writing novels in the future, as long as Chen Yu earns more than her, it will never be possible for the woman to be stronger than the man.

When leaving, Zhou Chen said to Gu Jia who was seeing him off, "Gu Jia, thank you for your hospitality today. I will treat you and your wife to a meal some other day, also at home. You must show your kindness then."

Gu Jia originally wanted to have a good relationship with Zhou Chen, so of course she wouldn't refuse when she heard this.

"Zhou Chen, you are so polite. If it doesn't interfere with your business, we can go upstairs to visit you."

"Then I will be waiting for your arrival."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly. His goal was achieved. As long as he had more contact with Gu Jia, he could slowly get closer to her and finally win her over.

As for the "obstacle" Xu Huanshan, he had already thought of a way to deal with it. As long as the plot does not change, Xu Huanshan will not be an obstacle when the time comes.

After all the guests left, Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia sat together.

Xu Huanshan took out the gift Zhou Chen had given him, unwrapped it, and said in surprise, "It's a set of tea sets and a box of tea leaves. They don't look cheap. Let's scan the code and take a look."

After scanning the code, both of their expressions changed color.

"As expected of a wealthy man, a random gift costs more than 200,000 yuan. Do you really not take money seriously?"

Xu Huanshan smacked his lips, shocked by the price of this set of tea sets and tea leaves. A gift worth more than 200,000 yuan. What kind of family is this?

Although their family has some money, they would never be able to spend more than 200,000 yuan just to give a house-warming gift.

Gu Jia was also surprised. She had witnessed the luxurious life of the top rich people in Mrs. Wang's house, and in Zhou Chen, she saw his extravagance.

"For us, a gift worth more than 200,000 yuan is considered very expensive, but for someone like him, it is probably just a small gift."

Xu Huanshan thought about it, and then said: "Wife, I think it's better to forget it. Don't have contact with him in the future. I feel that he is not the same kind of person as us."

To say that they were not the same kind of people was just putting it nicely. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the gap between them was too big. Their living standards were not at the same level at all. If they forced themselves to be friends, it would not necessarily be a good thing.

Gu Jia said seriously: "No, husband, we can learn a lot from Zhou Chen. I know you don't like this kind of thing. Leave it to me, I will take care of it."

After Gu Jia said this, Xu Huanshan didn't say anything more, because Gu Jia had always done this kind of thing before. Since Gu Jia was confident, he couldn't continue to object.

He didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had overlooked something.

After Zhou Chen left, he went straight back to his home.

Zhou Chen called Wang Manni, but did not ask her to come over. Instead, he asked her to rest for a few days before going back to work.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call from the property staff downstairs, saying that a female employee from the Misia store came to deliver clothes to him.

This surprised Zhou Chen very much. Wasn't Wang Manni not at work? Then who sent him the clothes? Could it be the deputy store manager?

Since there was nothing to do, Zhou Chen did not refuse and asked the property staff to let the other person up.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Zhou Chen walked over, opened the door, and saw a woman in work clothes.

"It's you?"

He had a good memory and the moment he saw the woman, he recognized her as Linda who had flattered him the first time he went to the Misia store.

Linda smiled and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Zhou. We have recently received a batch of new products in our store. Manni has taken a long vacation. You are the most distinguished guest in our store. I think we can't delay your selection of new products, so I brought these new products here for you to see."

Zhou Chen looked her over, making Linda feel uncomfortable and she had the urge to turn around and run away.

Just when she was about to lose control, Zhou Chen said, "Since you are here, come in."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Linda immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After Zhou Chen turned around, an excited expression appeared on his face, and then walked in dragging a suitcase.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 340: Just trade, don't talk about feelings

This was also Linda's first time to visit Zhou Chen's place. When she saw the space and decoration of Zhou Chen's house, she was shocked, just like Wang Manni was at the beginning.

But when she thought that Zhou Chen could easily recharge 10 million into their store, it seemed normal for his home to be so luxurious.

"Mr. Zhou, I brought three new products this time. I think they match your temperament. Please take a look."

Linda quickly opened the suitcase, took out the clothes inside, and showed them to Zhou Chen one by one.

Zhou Chen just took a few quick glances. There were too many clothes in his closet to wear them all, so it didn't matter if he had a few more or less sets.

He was looking at Linda more. He knew that Linda came here not just to give him clothes, but must have other purposes. He just watched her performance quietly.

Linda was busy for a long time and found that he was just staring at her and not looking at the clothes, so she thought Zhou Chen was not very satisfied.

So she asked carefully: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of these sets?"

"That's it. As for you, was it your deputy store manager who asked you to come here, or did you come here on your own?"

Linda looked embarrassed. Of course she came here privately. If she had told the deputy manager, she was sure he would not let her come.

"Mr. Zhou, I just think that only your temperament can match these clothes, so I sent them to you for a look."

Zhou Chen asked: "Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules of your store by doing this?"

"Mr. Zhou, the biggest rule in our store is to serve customers like you."

"You're quite good at talking. Put your clothes down first and come over and sit down."

Linda obediently put down her clothes, walked to a place not far from Zhou Chen and sat down, looking at Zhou Chen with a reserved expression.

Zhou Chen stared at Linda with sharp eyes: "You came to me not just to sell me the men's clothing in your store, right? Tell me, what do you want?"

Linda's face changed slightly. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so direct. Of course, she came to Zhou Chen not just to sell clothes.

"Mr. Zhou, I..."

"to be honest."

Linda's tone paused. Facing Zhou Chen's sharp gaze, she didn't dare to lie.

"Mr. Zhou, I envy Wang Manni very much, and I also want you to support me like you support her."

This answer did not surprise Zhou Chen, so he asked: "If you want me to support you, what can you bring to me?"

Linda gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I have it, I can give anything. As long as Wang Manni can do it, I can do it."

"Oh, it seems you really came prepared."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said calmly, "To be honest, you don't have anything worthy of my attention."

Linda asked unwillingly, "Then what do you like about Wang Manni? Is she prettier than me, or has a better figure than me?"

"You don't understand. There are many women like her. The reason why I like her is for reasons you don't know."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "You can leave your clothes here. You can go back first. I need to rest now, so I won't see you off."

According to the system's tasks and his own psychological problems, he is in this world, after all, just to complete tasks and release emotions.

But this doesn't mean that he wants everyone. It's normal for women to be scheming, but this woman is not smart and can't hide her emotions, so he doesn't really want to have any contact with her.

After saying that, he ignored Linda and walked into the bedroom alone to rest for a while.

In the living room, Linda's face was full of despair. She never expected that Zhou Chen would reject her without hesitation.

Although what happened between Wang Manni and Zhou Chen was not stated explicitly, everyone in the Misha store knew it.
