The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Happy, can I be happy?"

Xu Huanshan snorted twice, "Is this what you call negotiating a business deal? He didn't even take a look at the design draft I prepared for several nights. With just one word from Zhou Chen, he handed the business over to us. I worked so hard on the design for so long, but it's not as effective as someone else's words?"

Thinking of this, he angrily threw the design draft in his bag aside, full of indignation.

Seeing her husband's temper flared up again, Gu Jia quickly advised him, "Don't say that. He didn't see your design draft, that's his loss, it has nothing to do with you. As for Zhou Chen, he was also kind enough to help us, so don't complain."

As she spoke, she inadvertently glanced at Chen Xu in front of her, but Chen Xu was looking straight ahead, as if he didn't hear their conversation at all.

Xu Huanshan exhaled and said, "I don't blame Zhou Chen. On the contrary, I am very grateful to him. If he hadn't come forward this time, I guess we wouldn't have gotten this deal. I just feel very awkward. I always feel, always feel..."

He wanted to say that he always felt that this made him seem useless. He cared that Yu Rongcheng had not read the design draft, and he cared even more that Yu Rongcheng ignored him. It was as if in their eyes, he was like a clown, and he felt particularly uncomfortable.

"Hubby, it's his loss that he didn't see it. Next you should work hard on the design and then release the effect in their park to surprise them all."

Gu Jia is more open-minded than Xu Huanshan. She knows that this is how the business world is. Sometimes you try your best to take on an order, but in the eyes of others, it is just an order that can be easily thrown away.

Instead of complaining here, it is better to work hard so that you can reach that level in the future.

After being secretly angry for a while, Xu Huanshan finally came to terms with it.

"Wife, I must go to Yanjing next to take a look at the park environment there and then make a design."

In order to achieve the best effect of fireworks, it is naturally necessary to combine the terrain and architecture, so Xu Huanshan must make a trip to Yanjing.

Gu Jia said: "Don't worry, leave the house to me, you can just go and get busy with your work."

"Honey, it's great to have you."

…………

Chen Xu heard the conversation between Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia. Of course, he had no intention of telling tales.

He was just wondering if he would always be a driver. Zhou Chen's words before kept echoing in his mind.

Will there be a better future if I follow Zhou Chen?

Seeing that the Xu family's business was about to recover and his brother started working under Zhou Chen, his mind began to become active.

If there are better options, who would be willing to be just a driver?

Even if it was to repay a favor, it would have to end someday, so he had already started to think about himself.

Chapter 353 The plan starts from Chen Yu

The 20th floor of Grand Hyatt Residences.

Zhou Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the lake in front of him, feeling particularly relaxed.

The fireworks business is settled, and Xu Huanshan will go to Yanjing next. He is already halfway to the success of his plan, and now it all depends on Xu Huanshan's performance.

"It's time to go to Yanjing."

His ultimate goal is to get Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou together. Although they do get together in the plot, Zhou Chen still decides to do it himself just in case.

The skills of the god-level Yue Lao have been shelved for a long time, and it’s time to show them off.

The rehabilitation center is also being improved. Once it is opened, it will provide financial support for hundreds of children. With his funds, there will be no problem at all.

Chen Yu is now working under him. As long as he works hard, he will find a reason to let Chen Yu expand his business, and there will be no problem for him to get a high salary.

Now that Zhong Xiaoqin's child has not been aborted, it means that she will be in the state of giving birth and raising children for a long time. It is basically impossible for her to surpass Chen Yu in her career and become a strong woman and a weak man.

Writing novels also requires energy. A pregnant woman and a wet nurse simply won't have the time and energy in the short term.

In the end, only Xu Ziyan and Gu Jia were left with the task, but as long as Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou got together, he would have a great chance of success.

"The next step is to capture Gu Jia. Let's begin."

The rehabilitation center is located not far from the Huaxing Group Building, about four or five kilometers away. Because it is not in the city center, housing prices are relatively cheap.

Originally Zhou Chen was planning to rent a building, but after asking about the housing prices, he directly spent money to buy a six-story building.

This was originally an old residential building. There are many such buildings. The reason why Zhou Chen bought it was because there was a large vacant lot behind the building. He also bought the vacant lot and planned to build a children's playground and amusement park.

After purchasing it, it was renovated according to the design drawings provided by Zhou Chen and divided into classrooms and offices.

The decoration has been going on for more than a month now, and the decoration speed is very fast. After another month of decoration and formaldehyde removal, we can officially open.

The playground is also a standard playground, with authentic grass, many children's slides, climbing frames, etc.

The main investment is still in buying buildings and land, decoration, etc. Although it also costs a lot of money, it is not a little bit less than buying a building.

Chen Yu has already been to the site. During this period, he finally doesn't have to work from home. In addition to continuing to recruit people, he also volunteered to supervise the decoration work on site.

Today, Chen Yu took the initiative to go to Huaxing Group to find Zhou Chen to report the situation.

"Mr. Zhou, based on the construction period, we can start recruiting students in more than a month, or at most two months. That will be around September, in time for the normal start of school."

After becoming an employee under Zhou Chen, Chen Yu's attitude naturally became much more respectful, and now he also called Zhou Chen "Mr. Zhou" like everyone else in the Huaxing Group.

Zhou Chen heard Chen Yu's report and said with satisfaction: "Very good, but while completing the construction period, we must find out the dangerous places. You know, we are going to recruit children, and safety awareness must be the top priority."

"I understand. I am also focusing on this point."

Chen Yu hasn't officially started working yet, but he is now equivalent to a person in charge. He is supervising the projects over there and is busy every day, which saves Zhang Jing a lot of trouble.

After chatting with Chen Yu for a while, Zhou Chen pretended to be worried and said, "Now we have a place, and we have bought all the things. They can be delivered at any time. All the big and small things have been arranged. The only thing missing is a person in charge. Alas."

Chen Yu asked in surprise: "Isn't Secretary Zhang the general manager?"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "She is my secretary and is responsible for the group's affairs. She doesn't have time to be in charge there."

"Then you can go to recruit." Chen Yu asked puzzledly.

Zhou Chen: "It's not that simple. This line of work is not easy to do. As a manager, you must be patient because you have to deal with a group of children with problems. It's hard for men to do it. Women are the most suitable, but it's really hard to find people with this kind of talent."

"We are just starting out here, and although we are doing charity, if we find a problematic person in charge, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

At this point, Zhou Chen deliberately asked Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, you worked in a TV station before and knew a lot of people. Do you have any talent in this area?"

Chen Yu asked: "What are the criteria for the person you want?"

"First of all, the image cannot be bad. After all, the person in charge has to interact with people. As the face of the rehabilitation center, the image must not be bad. Secondly, he must be honest and kind, patient, and be fair and just in dealing with children's problems. When encountering problems, he can also properly solve them."

"It's best if you've been a mother. After all, only women who have been mothers can truly understand children. It would be even better if you have a certain family foundation, because this position requires you to face all kinds of people and you must be able to resist all kinds of temptations."

"Otherwise, that is..."

Zhou Chen mentioned a few more key points, and then asked: "Chen Yu, think about it, is there anyone you know who meets the criteria?"

Comparing the key points Zhou Chen said, Chen Yu began to think. After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of someone.

"Mr. Jay, I do know someone who might meet your criteria, but I don't know if she's willing."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he said happily, "Who?"

"this."

Chen Yu thought of Gu Jia and didn't know whether he should answer. After all, he had not asked Gu Jia's opinion, and he couldn't make the decision for others.

"I see. Since you know her, please ask her opinion. If she is willing to come and meets the requirements, I can sign a contract directly and guarantee that her annual salary will not be less than one million."

Chen Yu took a deep breath. A million-dollar annual salary was extremely rare even in the wealthy Magic City.

"Mr. Jay, I'm so sorry. The main reason is that I'm not very familiar with this friend. I'll go back and ask her opinion and then get back to you."

He knew that Zhou Chen and Gu Jia were friends, so he didn't say it. He was afraid that if he said it, Zhou Chen would take the initiative to find Gu Jia, and Gu Jia would disagree, which would embarrass Zhou Chen. He would be caught in the middle and must be in a very difficult position.

"Okay, Chen Yu, I believe in your vision, so you can give it a try. There are not many people who can truly do charity now. I really hope that this rehabilitation center can continue to operate well, but it can't be done by me alone. I also need the full support of you employees."

"Mr. Jay, don't worry, I will do my best."

Chen Yu is really full of energy now, and he really wants to relieve Zhou Chen's worries.

After talking with Zhou Chen, Chen Yu returned home and began to consider whether he should help ask Gu Jia.

To be honest, he felt that Gu Jia met Zhou Chen's requirements very well, but he was not familiar with Gu Jia, so even if he wanted to say something, he would definitely let his wife Zhong Xiaoqin do it.

When Zhong Xiaoqin came home from get off work, she saw Chen Yu sitting in front of the fish tank like a wooden man, and asked in confusion: "Chen Yu, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"

Chen Yu suddenly woke up and stood up: "Oh, nothing, the meal is ready, I will go cook now."

"Don't cook. I bought some cooked food from outside. Let's eat it like this."

Zhong Xiaoqin raised the bag in her hand. She didn’t know if it was because of her pregnancy, but she felt like she had been eating a lot recently and would buy some food and bring it back whenever she had nothing to do.

"Okay then, I'll go get the food and you go wash up and get ready to eat."

The two quickly sat down at the table and started eating. When they were almost done, Chen Yu couldn't help it.

"Xiaoqin, there is something I want to ask for your opinion on."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Chen Yu in surprise. Chen Yu actually asked for her opinion on something. This had never happened before.

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

Chen Yu said: "I went to report to Mr. Zhou today. He mentioned that the rehabilitation center is still lacking a person in charge, that is, the principal of the rehabilitation center. He mentioned a few conditions. I think Gu Jia fits what he said very well, so I thought..."

He stated all the requirements that Zhou Chen had mentioned, then expressed his own ideas, and then asked Zhong Xiaoqin for her opinion.

"What do you think?"

The more Zhong Xiaoqin listened, the wider her eyes opened: "Annual salary of one million, are you sure?"

"Zhou Dong said, no more, no less."

"Of course it will work. Gu Gu's abilities are beyond words. She is first-rate. If we invite her to be the principal, there will be no problem."

Zhong Xiaoqin immediately praised her sisters, but after she finished speaking, she frowned again.

"But Gu Gu is now a housewife at home, taking care of Zi Yan. I don't know if she would agree."

Chen Yu said, "Let's ask her. What if she is willing? This opportunity is very rare. Judging from what Director Zhou said, this rehabilitation center is very large and has a much better future than their fireworks company."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked bewildered: "Isn't this a charity? It doesn't make any money at all, how much future can it have?"

Chen Yu sighed in frustration, "I told you to read more books and watch the news, but you just wouldn't listen. There's nothing wrong with doing charity, but who says you can't make money doing charity?"

"Let me tell you, this whole building can at least enroll hundreds of children. Education is free, but don't parents and children need food and accommodation? Food and accommodation are the most basic, and there are many other things that are indispensable. In this way, an ecosystem will be formed, and there will be plenty of places to make money."

Zhong Xiaoqin opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "Does Zhou Chen have such a long-term vision? Does he do charity just to make money?"

"Jay is not as bad as you think."

Chen Yu was so angry that he laughed at his wife's IQ.

"Do you think someone like Jay Chou would care about this little money? Just investing in this rehabilitation center, buying buildings and land, hiring teachers, etc., costs hundreds of millions. I don't know how long it will take to expect the surrounding industries to make a profit."

Zhong Xiaoqin: "So he is really doing charity?"

"If it's not true charity, who would be willing to spend so much money? I used to think those rich people were unkind, but I really admire Jay Chou. He is a person who helps the world when he is successful. Even if I don't get paid, I am willing to work with him."

Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes: "If you don't make money, will my baby and I have to eat dirt in the future?"

"I'm just saying. Don't forget to ask Gu Jia. Time is running out. You have to hurry."

"I know, I know, come and eat."

Chapter 354 Inviting Gu Jia

"Xiaoqin, are you telling the truth?"

At Gu Jia's home in Junyue Mansion, Gu Jia asked Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise.

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded while eating oranges and said, "Well, our Chen Yu said that you are very suitable for the conditions proposed by Zhou Chen. He thinks you are very suitable to be the principal, but he is embarrassed to ask, so he asked me to ask for your opinion."

Gu Jia frowned. It seemed that Zhou Chen was indeed in some trouble. Logically, she owed Zhou Chen a favor and should help him.

But the problem is, the rehabilitation center has just started, and it goes without saying that it will be very busy, especially as the person in charge, he is destined to be even busier.

Once she gets busy, she may not be able to take care of her family, which is what she is struggling with.

"Xiaoqin, what do you think?"

After eating a whole ugly orange, Zhong Xiaoqin said, "I think you can give it a try. Chen Yu said that Zhou Chen's offer is very good. A million-dollar annual salary is just the basics. Gu Gu, you are so capable, I think you can do it well. I know you are considering Zi Yan, but now Zi Yan is in kindergarten, and you don't need to follow him all the time during the day. You still have time to do what you want to do."

"And our Chen Yu said that this is real charity and will do immeasurable good deeds. He also said that he is willing to do it even if he is not paid, just as a blessing for our children."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Before, you complained that your teacher Chen didn't like children and didn't want children, but now, she is more nervous than you."
