The world of film and television starts from a young age.

The sudden words made Li Li almost lose control of his expression.

But after all, she is the proprietress of a restaurant. She has seen all kinds of customers, and she has often heard dirty jokes among the guests.

Compared with those people who were not taboo about meat and vegetables, Zhou Chen's words were not considered meat and vegetables at all, but she did not expect that these words would come out of Zhou Chen's mouth.

As far as she knows, there are no rumors about Zhou Chen's scandal at all. Some people say that Zhou Chen is stupid and rich in money. Some people say that he is generous and heroic and a philanthropic businessman. But no one has ever heard of him being immoral in his private life. This is not good for a very rich young man. It's really extremely rare.

For example, Mr. Bao, who is also famous on Yellow River Road, has been involved in many scandals. The former Jin Fenghuang, the proprietress Lingzi of Night Tokyo, and Miss Wang of No. 27 on the Bund, there are many rumors outside that they are all treasures. Total confidante, rumored girlfriend.

On the contrary, Zhou Chen is no worse than Mr. Bao in all aspects, and is richer than him, but there have been no scandals, let alone any woman he is close to.

That's why Li Li was shocked when he suddenly heard Zhou Chen say that he was interested in beauties.

"Mr. Zhou is really quick to talk."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Since you said I am quick-talking, let me ask a question, does Miss Li really like being the boss's wife?"

Li Li asked in confusion: "Why does Mr. Zhou ask this?"

"I once heard someone say that few women would be willing to be the boss's wife if there were other options. I'm not a woman, so I don't understand this very deeply, but Miss Li is a woman. I wonder what you think about this. Does the sentence make sense?”

"Is Miss Li Li a born boss lady, or did she become a boss lady because she had no other choice?"

After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Li Li's eyes and expression changed, because Zhou Chen talked about her sore feet, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Which kind of person do I always feel like that week?"

"The second type is forced to have no choice."

Li Li's eyes changed again and asked: "How can you see it?"

"The eyes of people who really want to be a boss lady and have a career, their eyes are excited, excited, and full of ambition; but your eyes are very tired, and you are not tired when facing those customers. Smile from the inside, you are tired of dealing with them, but you have to deal with them, so your eyes are tired and your mood is even more tired.”

"Am I right?"

Zhou Chen looked at Li Li and slowly expressed his opinion. These words made Li Li's expression keep changing.

"I don't quite understand why Mr. Zhou said that. It is my greatest wish to come to Huanghe Road and drive to Zhenyuan and become the boss's wife."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'm just meddling in other people's business."

Li Li was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhou, can I ask a personal question instead?"

"Of course, please ask."

"If it were you, Mr. Zhou, would you let your woman come out to be the boss's wife?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Chen replied: "If she is my woman and she is willing to be the boss's wife, I will let her do it, even if I hand over all my property to her, there will be no problem; if she is not willing I will not force her to be a boss lady, because I am still confident that I can support my own woman. Even if she does nothing and spends all day, it is no problem. As long as she likes it, I will do whatever she wants. .”

"Then you're not afraid that she will ruin the family fortune?"

"This brings us back to the topic just now. Even if I lose everything, I can still rise again. If that's the case, why should I be afraid?"

"Then you let her do whatever she wants, so you're not afraid of her taking advantage of her? I'm a woman, so I understand women. Women are often dissatisfied. After getting something, they want more."

"What you said is so realistic."

Zhou Chen didn't expect that Li Li would actually say these words to him, but he said confidently: "Then you may underestimate my vision in selecting people and my skills in managing relationships between men and women."

"..."

Li Li opened his mouth and was about to speak. Suddenly, the lights went out and the private room instantly became pitch black. Li Li's expression suddenly changed and he was about to walk out.

But as soon as she took two steps, someone grabbed her arm. Her heart tightened, and she reflexively wanted to shake it off.

"You're going in the wrong direction. That's not a door, it's a wall."

Li Li suddenly became embarrassed. Fortunately, he was in the dark and couldn't see at all.

"Thank you."

Zhou Chen pulled Li Li out of the private room. There was still a little light outside the private room.

Li Li was about to deal with it, but just as he was about to take a step forward, he realized something was wrong and turned around to apologize to Zhou Chen.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, there was a sudden power outage. I'm going to deal with it now."

"It doesn't matter. I haven't started serving the food yet. You can go and deal with it."

Manager Pan hurried over, holding a candle in his hand.

"Boss lady, I don't know who cut the wires in the electrical box downstairs."

Li Li didn't say anything and left quickly with Manager Pan.

As soon as the power went out in Zhizhen Garden, Zhou Chen knew what had happened. It seemed that the plot had not changed. A group of landlady bosses on Huanghe Road, headed by Lu Meilin, had now begun to prepare to treat Li Li, an outsider who was most likely to be Little Jiangxi. Cut wires.

It took a while to connect the electricity to Zhizhenyuan. Half an hour later, the police car drove directly to the gate of Zhizhenyuan. Xiao Jiangxi, who had cut the wire, was taken away by the police.

Because of the sudden power outage in Zhizhen Garden, the entire Yellow River Road became lively, but the guests who had been staying on the Yellow River Road for a long time were not surprised by this scene.

Anyone who has been around the Yellow River Road for a long time knows that similar things happen every once in a while, especially in the big hotels with the best business, such things are more likely to happen.

Zhizhen Garden has been so popular recently. Huanghe Road has become more lively because of Zhou Chen, and the restaurants on Huanghe Road have all benefited.

But the sudden appearance of Zhizhenyuan caused a lot of the passenger traffic of major hotels to be transferred to Zhizhenyuan. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among others. Therefore, when seeing what happened to Zhizhenyuan, most of the hotels on the Yellow River Road would Take pleasure in misfortune and get what you want.

Upstairs in Zhizhen Garden, Li Li, dressed in black, stood in front of the window with his arms folded, looking down at the excitement below.

Manager Pan walked over and saw the scene of little Jiangxi being taken away below. He couldn't help but ask, "Is it really necessary to send little Jiangxi to the police station?"

Li Li said: "This is just an attitude given to Huanghe Road. Our Zhizhenyuan is not easy to bully."

Manager Pan hesitated and said: "But it is rumored that Xiao Jiangxi and Mr. Zhou seem to be related."

"Ok?"

Li Li turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Jiangxi, what is the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou?"

Manager Pan said: "There is such a rumor because Mr. Zhou worked as a chef at Jin Meilin before. The old waiters at Jin Meilin all know that Xiao Jiangxi once pursued Mr. Zhou. As for whether they are really in a relationship, no one knows."

Li Li frowned slightly: "Then do you think they are?" "No, for someone like Mr. Zhou, if Xiao Jiangxi really has a relationship with him, he will definitely not take care of him at all, but the rumors may be false. But it’s true that they know each other.”

"Since even you don't think it's true, it certainly can't be true."

Before today, Li Li might have been a little suspicious, but before the power outage, she had talked a lot with Zhou Chen, so she felt that it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Jiangxi to have a relationship with Zhou Chen.

"Go and inquire for me. Find out which store Mr. Bao has been to on Huanghe Road in the past few days? Who has he met?"

"I just know that Mr. Bao has been to Red Heron. As for who he met, Ruth will definitely not tell. How about asking Tao Tao, who sells seafood? He is very well-informed on the Yellow River Road."

Li Li muttered: "Tao Tao is Mr. Bao's good brother, and he is also a big mouth. Before you could ask anything, he had already told Mr. Bao."

Manager Pan looked thoughtful: "Then who else can I ask? How about asking Mr. Zhou. Although Mr. Zhou rarely comes to the Yellow River Road now, with his ability, as long as he wants to know, it is difficult to find anything on the Yellow River Road. Things can be hidden from him."

Li Li's eyes lit up, thinking that Zhou Chen had a good attitude towards him. If he asked, he might be able to find out something.

But she immediately rejected it. She and Zhou Chen now have a good relationship because there is no utilitarian interest between the two parties, and she feels that asking Zhou Chen about this matter is a bit overkill.

Suddenly, she glanced around and saw the cigarette paper shop downstairs, and thought of Jingxiu.

"No need to ask Mr. Zhou, I have a better choice."

Then, she went to find Jing Xiu, and after paying a consultation fee of two thousand yuan, she got the answer she wanted from Jing Xiu.

Due to the power outage today, most of the guests in Zhizhen Garden have already left, but Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he continued to let the chef cook and was ready to leave after finishing the meal.

When walking out of Huanghe Road, I happened to see Li Li, who was dressed neatly and ready to leave.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry for wasting a lot of your time today."

"It's okay. I've eaten anyway. I just ate early and late. Are you ready to go back, Miss Li?"

"Yes, we will close early today and prepare to go back to rest."

"I'm just about to go back, can I give you a ride?"

Li Li looked at Zhou Chen, smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhou."

"You are welcome."

After getting on the bus, Li Li told him where he lived: "Taojiang Road..."

After she came to Shanghai, she also rented an apartment. Unless the hotel closed late, she would rest in the hotel. The rest of the time, she would return to this apartment to rest.

After all, for a restaurant owner, even though he returns late, the opening of the restaurant will not be until noon the next day, so he has enough rest time.

"There was a sudden power outage in Zhizhen Garden. Today's sales must have been greatly affected."

"It doesn't matter if you lose some money, I'm afraid it will make the customers dissatisfied. I heard that Xiao Jiangxi who cut the wire today is also acquainted with you?"

In the back row of the car, Li Li suddenly looked at Zhou Chen, his eyes full of exploration.

Zhou Chen said: "I do know her. You also know that I worked as a chef at Jin Meilin for a while. I was a chef and she was a waiter. How could I not know her?"

"Since we are acquaintances, then Zhou won't blame me for calling the police to have her arrested, right?"

"Haha, knowing each other doesn't mean we have a good relationship. I know a lot of people. It's impossible for everyone to have a good relationship with me. She and I are just former colleagues. Whether she was arrested or not has nothing to do with me. .”

Li Li skipped this topic and asked another thing.

"I inquired about the news today, and someone said that if Zhizhen Garden is closed, the entire Yellow River Road will be happy."

"Now that you know, why are you asking me?"

"Mr. Bao said that Zhizhen Garden can only be opened for three months. This is the first month and something like this has happened in Zhizhen Garden. If this continues, there will probably be more troubles in the future. I don't know, Mr. Zhou. Li Li would be very grateful if you could give me some advice."

"There is no free lunch in the world. If I give you advice, what benefit will I get?"

"You can ask for anything you want. As long as I have it, I will try my best to satisfy it." Li Li said firmly.

Zhou Chen didn't speak, just looked at her lightly. Such a gaze made Li Li feel very uncomfortable, because she found that Zhou Chen's look at her was too direct.

Just when she was about to break the silence, Zhou Chen spoke.

"You are so smart, you will definitely think of something wrong. Those boss ladies on Yellow River Road are nothing to me, but they are really a trouble to you. In a few days, you come to Fuxing Road and I will give them to you. You have one thing.”

Li Li was about to ask when the car stopped and the driver Wang Yuan whispered: "Sir, we have arrived at Taojiang Road."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly at Li Li and said, "We're here."

Li Li nodded silently, suppressed the questions in his heart, thanked Zhou Chen, and then got out of the car.

Until Zhou Chen's car left, she was still thinking about what Zhou Chen had just said. Obviously, Zhou Chen knew her current predicament well, knew the cause, and knew how to solve it.

But as Zhou Chen said, there is no free lunch in the world, so why should Zhou Chen help her?

Back in the apartment, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She kept thinking about today and what happened before today. Jingxiu's words touched her greatly.

Suddenly two things came to her mind. On the day of the official opening, Zhou Chen entered the Zhizhen Garden from the back kitchen, and a few days later, Mr. Bao also entered the Zhizhen Garden from the back kitchen.

Her eyes lit up and she couldn't hold it any longer. She got dressed, left the apartment, and took a car to Huanghe Road.

In the afternoon, Zhou Chen was lying on the deck chair on the balcony, enjoying the warm sunshine.

The nanny Zhu Mei walked over softly.

"gentlemen."

Zhou Chen continued to lie down without opening his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"A young lady came outside and said her name was Xiao Jiangxi and she wanted to see Mr. Jiangxi."

"Little Jiangxi?"

Zhou Chen opened his eyes and sat up from the recliner. Xiao Jiangxi suddenly came to him, which he did not expect.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Take her to the living room, I will go down later."

"Yes, sir."

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen came down from upstairs and saw little Jiangxi restlessly sitting on the sofa.
