For these powerful wives, family and nouveau riche are different. Only those that have been passed down for several generations can be considered a family. The first generation of rich people are at best just rising, and most of them are nouveau riche.

Mrs. Li has elegant manners. She is indeed much better than the other ladies. At least she has the aristocratic temperament of the upper class, and her every move is the result of strict training.

"It's normal that you don't know the Zhou family, because the previous generations of the Zhou family were not native to the Magic City, but moved here from other places. But don't underestimate the Zhou family. Their family heritage is not inferior to ours, and it may have hundreds of years of history. The Huaxing Group you know is just their open business."

"As far as I know, in addition to the supply of medicinal materials to Huaxing Group, their family also bought several mountains. I don't know about the other things, but a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has a foundation far beyond what you can imagine."

"It is said that the Zhou family's ancestors were imperial doctors in the palace. For several generations, their main business has been related to doctors and medicinal materials. However, the Zhou family is very low-key, and the current direct descendants are even rarer, so you don't know the existence of the Zhou family."

"But if you ask me which place in East China has the most precious medicinal materials, I can tell you with certainty that it must be the Zhou family. Their hundreds of years of heritage have always been related to medicine. Do you think it is possible that they don't have precious medicinal materials?"

Mrs. Li usually doesn't talk much and always looks superior. It's the first time that Gu Jia has seen her talk so many words in one breath.

Especially what she said, she only knew that Zhou Chen was rich, but she didn't expect that the Zhou family was so prominent. If this happened in ancient times, they would definitely be high-ranking officials.

Mrs. Ma's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. "If that's the case, then the Zhou family must have century-old mountain ginseng. I'll ask my husband to go to Huaxing Group to buy medicine when I get back."

Mrs. Li glanced at her calmly and said, "Do you really think you can buy it if you have money? The Zhou family has a deep foundation and they don't lack this little money. If they don't want to sell it, you won't be able to buy it even if you pay more money."

Mrs. Ma said confidently: "Mrs. Li, since you know the Zhou family, you must know who is the head of the Zhou family now, right? My husband has a wide network of contacts, maybe he can know someone in the Zhou family."

"The Zhou family has very few members this generation, and something unexpected happened in the middle of the family. The current head of the family is a young man. I once met him at a private party. He is indeed a young and handsome guy."

Mrs. Li recalled the situation and couldn't help but admire it.

Ma Taitian immediately asked happily: "Mrs. Li, you have seen that person, so he must be familiar to you. I wonder if you can introduce him to us?"

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I've only seen them before, but I'm not familiar with them. If you want to buy medicine from the Zhou family, I think you should think of another way."

The Zhou family’s Huaxing Group is already worth over 10 billion, and it is all controlled by the Zhou family, not to mention the Zhou family’s other industries.

In terms of wealth, he is actually richer than their family, and his background is even deeper than theirs.

If the old man in their family was sick and needed wild ginseng, she might go and ask for it, but even though she knew Mrs. Ma's father-in-law, she was still unwilling to take the lead.

Mrs. Ma looked disappointed and could only ask, "Mrs. Li, do you know the situation of the head of the Zhou family? For example, where does he live?"

Mrs. Li said, "This person's name is Zhou Chen. He should be around 30 years old now. As for where he lives, I really don't know."

"Is that so? Looks like my husband is the only one left to help."

Mrs. Ma was very disappointed. In fact, she wanted to do it herself. If she could get the century-old ginseng and save the old man, her husband and parents-in-law would definitely look at her differently.

It's a pity that she doesn't know any useful information now.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I think you should just go to Huaxing Group to pay a visit. Maybe they will be willing to give you this face?"

Mrs. Ma glanced at Mrs. Liu with dissatisfaction. Although this was an idea, the success rate was too low and her reputation was not that great.

If her husband was allowed to go, it would be fine if Zhou Chen agreed, but if she didn't agree, where would her husband's face be?

People like them often live for the sake of face. If they can't get what they want, they will lose face. It is not easy for pampered people like them to do this.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some filial people will definitely not care about their own face and will give it a try even if it is embarrassing.

"hehe."

At this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly smiled, which made Mrs. Ma, who was already very unhappy, look at her fiercely.

"Mrs. Wang, are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"

Mrs. Wang put away her smile and said, "No, I was just laughing at what a coincidence. I just happen to know where Zhou Chen, the Zhou family member you are looking for, lives."

Mrs. Ma's fierce expression suddenly disappeared, and she asked anxiously, "Where does he live?"

I can't go to the Huaxing Group because it's crowded, but if I can visit them, then even if I get rejected, no one will know.

The others also looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise. In their eyes, she was a nouveau riche and a country bumpkin. How could such a person know the Zhou family, which had a long tradition?

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "If you are talking about Zhou Chen from Huaxing Group, then he should live downstairs from me."

"Junyue Mansion?" Mrs. Li asked in surprise.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Yes, I am the chairman of the homeowners' committee of Grand Hyatt Mansion, so I know the situation of the owners. Zhou Chen lives on the 20th floor below me, but I have lived here for such a long time and I have only seen him once or twice. He doesn't seem to live there very often."

Mrs. Li said, "This is normal. It's impossible for someone like him to have only one house. Maybe he bought the Grand Hyatt for fun and lives there occasionally."

Gu Jia was amazed at the scene. A house worth hundreds of millions was said to be bought for fun. Was it really a toy for the child?

"So does he live there now?" Mrs. Ma asked again.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "So what a coincidence! I met his nanny when I was taking the elevator earlier. I heard that he seems to live there permanently now."

"Great."

Mrs. Ma was immediately very excited. Now that they knew where to live, they had a direction.

"I'll ask my husband to go to Grand Hyatt when I get back."

Listening to the discussions of these ladies, Gu Jia did not reveal the fact that she knew Zhou Chen, although she really wanted to stand out in front of these ladies and have them look up to her.

But she still had self-knowledge. Although she knew Zhou Chen, they were not close friends. How could she convince Zhou Chen to get such a precious medicinal material as century-old ginseng?

However, after listening to these ladies' discussions, she had a new opinion of Zhou Chen.

She used to think that Zhou Chen was just rich, but now it seems that Zhou Chen is not only rich, but also well-connected, much more sophisticated than she thought.

The only pity is that Zhou Chen’s family business does not require fireworks at all, otherwise it would be able to solve their urgent problem.

The rehabilitation center is already busy, and other staff, such as teachers, childcare workers, cleaners, etc., are easy to recruit.

The most troublesome person is the person in charge.

Zhou Chen can arrange courses and educational plans, but he cannot stay there every day, so there must be a responsible and capable manager to shoulder this burden and cooperate well with him.

It is not easy to find a candidate that suits your taste. This job is not easy and requires facing tremendous pressure. Not everyone has the ability and patience.

In fact, Zhou Chen already had a good candidate in mind, that was Gu Jia.

There is no need to say much about Gu Jia's abilities. Sixty to seventy percent of the success of Xu Huanshan's fireworks company can be attributed to Gu Jia.

And Gu Jia is also a very patient person, which can be seen from the way she faces her son.

Only those who have become parents can understand that adults are often the least patient with their own children, but are more patient with other people's children.

Zhou Chen would feel more at ease if Gu Jia were to be the person in charge of the rehabilitation center.

What's more, letting Gu Jia be the person in charge is not only for public reasons, but also partly for personal reasons.

The private reason is of course for Gu Jia. Even though Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan are in love now, that is because Gu Jia is behind Xu Huanshan, helping him deal with household chores. He doesn't have to worry about anything and just needs to focus on company matters.

Once Gu Jia becomes busy and has no time to take care of the family, there will definitely be a gap between the two.

After all, a person's energy is limited. No matter how capable Gu Jia is, when the rehabilitation center is just opened, there will definitely be countless things to do and she will have no time to help Xu Huanshan deal with things.

If Xu Huanshan had any problems again, such as cheating on his wife, their relationship would definitely break down quickly.

This is also Zhou Chen’s plan, but the premise of all this is that Gu Jia is willing to serve as the manager of the rehabilitation center.

Because he is not absolutely sure, Zhou Chen has not yet invited Gu Jia. He is waiting for the right time, or until their relationship is better, before making this suggestion.

So far, there are a total of four tasks, one of which has been completed. Zhou Chen also has his own plans for the remaining three tasks.

Needless to say, Chen Yu has already started and completing the task will be no problem.

As a philanthropist, Zhou Chen can complete his mission as long as the rehabilitation center is opened, even if it costs a lot of money.

The only task he has to fulfill is becoming a father, and he has to win Gu Jia's heart so that she will willingly let her son call him dad.

The human heart is the most unpredictable, so Zhou Chen will not test it easily, so as not to offend Gu Jia. He can only wait patiently for the opportunity.

According to the plot, the day when Gu Jia's family wins the theme park's fireworks project should not be far away, and Lin Youyou, who is being scolded by the entire Internet, should also appear soon.

With the appearance of Lin Youyou, Zhou Chen's plan was half completed. He had a magical skill to bring men and women together, and was eagerly waiting for the two newcomers.

Zhou Chen was writing and drawing in his notebook. He was making a teaching plan for the rehabilitation center.

As a former top-notch pediatric specialist doctor in the country, he is definitely a professional among professionals in the field of rehabilitation. This teaching plan is not difficult for him, but it is not an easy task to teach it to teachers and let them teach according to his tutorial.

After all, other people don't have his Martian language skills, so he has to carefully make a teaching plan again in the normal way.

Just when he was concentrating, his cell phone suddenly rang. Without even raising his head, he slid his hand and answered the call.

"Hey."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm Xiao Song from the property management downstairs. There are two guests who said they were introduced by Mrs. Wang from the 21st floor. They want to visit you. Can you let them go up?"

"Mrs. Wang introduced it?"

Zhou Chen put down the pen in his hand, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Who is it?"

"It's a man and a woman, Mr. Ma and his wife."

Zhou Chen was sure that he did not know these two people, otherwise he would not have asked the property management to call and mentioned Mrs. Wang.

"Let them come up."

He decided to give Mrs. Wang some face. He didn't care about Mrs. Wang, but he had an impression of her husband.

Mr. Wang is in the real estate business, and his business is not limited to Shanghai. He has investments all over the country and the assets he holds are astonishing.

The reason why Mrs. Wang's family was able to buy the top floor of Grand Hyatt Residence was because of their own connections.

He will be living here for some time to come, and he will see her every day, so he decided to give Mrs. Wang this face.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang and Zhou Chen walked over and opened the door.

I saw a man and a woman standing at the door. The man was wearing a well-ironed suit and looked very dignified, while the woman was wearing a bright red dress and carrying a branded bag.

Zhou Chen asked the two strangers straight away, "You two, I don't think we have met before. The property management said that you were introduced by Mrs. Wang. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. My last name is Ma, and this is my wife. We came here today because we want to ask you for help with something."

The middle-aged man surnamed Ma was very sincere and did not look down on Zhou Chen because of his age. He seemed to be a well-educated person.

"Then come in and talk."

It was impolite to let guests talk outside, so although Zhou Chen didn't know what the two people's purpose was, he still let them into the room.

Zhou Chen had been observing the two of them and found that they were not shocked by the luxurious decoration of his home, which meant that they were not ordinary people either.

"Mr. Ma, Mrs. Ma, please take a seat."

Zhou Chen took the two of them to the sofa and sat down, then asked, "Mr. Ma, I heard from the property management that you were introduced by Mrs. Wang. Are you familiar with Mrs. Wang?"

Mr. Ma said: "My wife often gets together with Mrs. Wang. They have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship, so she asked for Mrs. Wang's help."

"I see."

Zhou Chen nodded. He understood the identities of these two people. This Mrs. Ma should be a member of the wives’ circle.

"Mr. Ma, we don't know each other. You just asked me for help with something, which I don't quite understand. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Mrs. Ma winked at Mr. Ma, and Mr. Ma said calmly, "Mr. Zhou, it's like this. My father has a heart disease. He had a serious attack some time ago. He finally got through it, but he's still not in good health now."

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Mr. Ma, I'm not a doctor. The old man is sick, why did you come to me?"

He was indeed a doctor in the previous world, but no one in this world knew about it. How did these two people find him here?

"Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood."

Mr. Ma saw that Zhou Chen had misunderstood his meaning, so he quickly explained: "We are not looking for you to see a doctor, but to ask you for a medicine."

"Please give me medicine."

Zhou Chen was relieved. His family was in the medicinal materials business, so it was normal for people to come to him for medicine.

However, since these two people came to my door in person, I'm afraid they are not asking for ordinary medicinal herbs, otherwise they can be bought from other places.

"I wonder what kind of herbs Mr. Ma needs?"

He didn't make any promises. After all, he wasn't familiar with the two men, so who knew what kind of herbs they wanted.

Mr. Ma asked expectantly, "Old mountain ginseng that is more than a hundred years old."

Zhou Chen was shocked, then looked at the two men with strange eyes.

It's okay, the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng is an extremely precious medicinal material. Even if you have it, who would be willing to give it to others?

"Mr. Ma, who told you that I have ginseng that is over a hundred years old?"

Mr. Ma said, "Mr. Zhou, your Zhou family is a well-known family in the Magic City. We have also heard that the Zhou family has been engaged in the medicinal materials business for generations. You must have precious medicinal materials that are not available outside, so we came here to ask for your help."

Mrs. Ma then added: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, as long as you have it, no matter how much it costs, we are willing to buy it."

Zhou Chen glanced at Mrs. Ma, and Mr. Ma's face changed and he looked at her fiercely, angry at his wife's stupidity.
