Chapter 338 Welcome to the housewarming, new tasks
"Hello Zhou Chen, I'm Gu Jia."

Zhou Chen answered the phone, and when he heard this sentence, he was taken aback for a moment.

Gu Jia was his mission target, and he was still waiting patiently for the opportunity to contact Gu Jia, but he never thought that Gu Jia would call him before he started to act.

Although he had given him his business card before, he really didn't think that Gu Jia would take the initiative to contact him.

"Hello, Gu Jia."

"It's like this, Zhou Chen, we just moved into the Grand Hyatt Mansion, and we are going to treat friends to dinner at home. I wonder if you can do me a favor..."

After listening to Gu Jia's explanation, Zhou Chen understood why Gu Jia called him. It turned out that it was to celebrate the housewarming.

What puzzled him was that their relationship hadn't reached the level of friends yet, but Gu Jia invited him to dinner. Did she ask for something, or wanted to get closer to him, or both?
Doubts belong to doubts, but he still gave an affirmative answer.

"No problem, what time is it?"

"At noon in two days' time."

"Okay, I will definitely go there then."

Zhou Chen thought for a while, if he was invited to dinner to celebrate the housewarming, then he would definitely bring a gift.

After living for so many years, he is naturally clear about what gift should be given for the housewarming.

Seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. He didn't consider the other items, and directly chose tea, which is the most affordable.

After making a decision, Zhou Chen asked Zhang Jing to buy tea sets and tea leaves.

Recently, his secretary, Zhang Jing, is really busy. Not only does he have to summarize the company's affairs, but he also helps him with the rehabilitation center, and even helps him with his personal affairs.

Because Zhang Jing is a quick learner, the former Secretary Wu has been transferred away, worried that she will be too busy, Zhou Chen has already approved adding people, and let her recruit people by herself, either from within the company or from outside.

Zhou Chen didn't care about such trivial matters, he just asked Zhang Jing to do it if he had something to do, and he didn't care how Zhang Jing arranged it, as long as the matter could be done well.

He is not the kind of stern boss who works in a rigid manner and wants to control everything.

He doesn't have that kind of thought, and he doesn't want to waste that energy. He just needs to control the overall situation, and he doesn't care too much about the minutiae.

Coincidentally, the day when Gu Jia invited him happened to be the day when Wang Manni was discharged from the hospital.

Originally, he was going to pick up Wang Manni, but now he can only give up, but he still asked the driver to pick up Wang Manni and leave the hospital.

"Miss Wang, the boss asked me to pick you up and leave the hospital."

As soon as Wang Manni packed her things, she saw Zhou Chen's driver Cao Chengrui walking in.

Seeing that only Cao Chengrui came over and Zhou Chen didn't show up, Wang Manni asked a little disappointed, "Is he busy?"

"The boss has other things to do today, so he asked me to come over."

"I see, I really trouble you too much."

"This is what I should do."

…………

"I knew you were going to buy fish as a housewarming gift."

Seeing the little fish in Chen Yu's hand, Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes, and she knew that the first thing that came to her mind when thinking of giving a gift was fish.

Chen Yu is tall and thin, wearing glasses. He looks refined, but there is a little stubble around his mouth and chin, and his plain clothes make him look a little rough.

"What's wrong with the fish? It's the best housewarming gift. It brings life to them. You don't understand."

Fish is what he likes most in this life. In his eyes, no gift can compare to fish. He gives fish to represent his importance.

This couple is indeed a wonderful couple. One loves fish, the other loves cats. They are natural rivals. It is really not easy to become a husband and wife.

"I'm too lazy to tell you."

Zhong Xiaoqin is also used to Chen Yu's problems, so she didn't say anything, but instead said: "I told you in advance, this time Gu Gu not only invited us, she also invited two other people, one is Xu Huanshan My friend, the other is also the owner of the Grand Hyatt Mansion, and has a very big background, a super rich man with a net worth of billions."

Chen Yu asked in surprise: "Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan still know such a person?"

In his opinion, although Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan have a little money, compared to billionaires, the difference is not just a little bit, but a world of difference.

"What's wrong with knowing such a person? I also know that person. I have had conflicts with him. It's the one I told you before."

"The one with six parking spaces?"

Chen Yu asked in surprise.

Zhong Xiaoqin is a person who can't hide things. After that incident happened, she told Chen Yu when she got home.

She had hoped that Chen Yu would fight for her, and at the worst, she would scold Zhou Chen for being rich and heartless.

But who knows that instead of scolding, Chen Yu accused her of not being rigorous in her work, making random phone calls without knowing anything, and she deserved to be punished.

At that time, she was so angry that she almost smashed the fish tank at home.

"Yeah, that's him. I don't know when Gu Jia met him. He also gave Gu Jia a business card. Chen Yu, you didn't see it. The business card was gold and diamonds. One of the big local tyrants."

Thinking of that rather heavy business card, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but start complaining.

Chen Yu said: "He has money, so he can do whatever he wants. Why are you bothering with so much trouble? Now that you have to check the parking spaces every day, do you want to increase your workload?"

"Chen Yu!"

Zhong Xiaoqin yelled angrily: "Am I your wife? Is there anyone like you who doesn't speak for his wife but speaks for outsiders?"

"I'm helping the manager or not helping the relatives."

Chen Yu's calm appearance made Zhong Xiaoqin furious again.

"When you arrive at Gu Gu's house, please don't say a few words to me."

Zhong Xiaoqin is more worried about Chen Yu. He is more straightforward and can say anything. If she accidentally offends Zhou Chen, she dare not imagine the consequences.

"You think everyone is like you."

Chen Yu didn't take Zhong Xiaoqin's words to heart. He is a news editor and has always aspired to be a reporter. He has seen all kinds of people and does not lack experience in dealing with people.

Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu were the first to arrive at Gu Jia's house, and Shen Jie also came shortly afterwards. He came alone. He was familiar with Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia, but he didn't know Chen Yu very well. Yes, just simply greeted and said a few words.

"Huanshan, listen to you, there will be another powerful person coming over later?"

Before Shen Jie came, he heard Xu Huanshan talk about today's game, and knew that their family had invited a very powerful person, but he didn't know the specific situation.

"The one on the [-]th floor above us is the chairman of Huaxing Group. When we met once, he gave us a business card. Gu Jia insisted on calling him this time."

"Gu Jia did the right thing. This is how the network is accumulated. Otherwise, if you are all like you, you will know that you will be stuck in design, and it will be difficult for the company to grow."

Shen Jie and Xu Huanshan have known each other for many years, and they are also in the fireworks business. He knows how difficult this business is.

Most of Xu Huanshan's companies were able to develop because of Gu Jia. Xu Huanshan only provided design, and he was just a leader on the bright side.

"Is he the chairman of Huaxing Group, let me search."

Shen Jie took out his mobile phone and started searching the Internet. Xu Huanshan didn't stop him, because he had done similar things before.

After this search, Shen Jie quickly screamed: "Huanshan, are you sure you are the chairman of Huaxing Group?"

"Yeah, what's the matter, are you scared?" Xu Huanshan asked with a smile.

Shen Jie smacked his lips: "I'm really scared, Huaxing Group, one of the largest pharmaceutical raw material supply companies in Shanghai, with assets exceeding tens of billions, is not a listed company. Doesn't that mean that this is a company that speaks volumes?"

There are many large companies in China with amazing assets but not listed. Generally, such 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, and they do not want to Being decentralized.

"Huanshan, have you met the other party in person?"

"I've seen it. It's about the same age as us, 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 [-] million, but Zhou Chen has mastered a large group with more than [-] billion. If you really want to calculate it, it's really not as good as someone else's finger.

Xu Huanshan sneered and said: "We are different from him. We started from scratch, and he inherited the family business. I heard from my wife and best friend that their family has been passed down for a hundred years, so they can have today's grand status. We If you fight for a hundred years, you won't be worse than him."

Shen Jie laughed loudly: "Your idea of ​​self-comfort is not bad."

At this time Gu Jia came over, looked at the laughing Shen Jie, and asked, "What are you two talking about, you are smiling so happily."

"We're talking about the guy upstairs in your house. Huanshan said that if he struggles for hundreds of years, he will definitely not be worse than him."

Hearing Shen Jie's words, Gu Jia said confidently: "It doesn't take a hundred years, just give us two or three decades, and we will definitely be able to achieve it."

"I thought Huanshan was crazy enough just now, but I didn't expect this heroine of your family to be even more exaggerated than you."

"That's right, this is my wife, I can't find it even with a lantern."

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Gu Jia straightened her expression immediately, and said, "The Lord is here, please pay attention later."

Immediately, Shen Jie and Chen Yu's couple's expressions changed, and they looked at the door expectantly, but Xu Huanshan looked indifferent.

Gu Jia opened the door, saw Zhou Chen standing at the door, and said with a smile on her face, "Zhou Chen, you're here."

"I'm sorry, there's something wrong, I'm late, didn't I delay you?"

Zhou Chen is actually the closest, but he didn't come so early, mainly because he and Gu Jia are not too familiar with each other. If he came too early, Gu Jia is cooking, so let him chat with Xu Huanshan?

"No, no, we haven't started yet. You're not too late. It may take a while before we can eat."

Gu Jia welcomed Zhou Chen in with a smile, "Today we didn't call anyone, just me and Huanshan's two friends."

Zhou Chen followed Gu Jia into the house, and saw a few people standing in the living room, one of them was Xu Huanshan, besides that, there were two men and a woman, he also knew the woman, it was Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Mr. Xu, congratulations on your housewarming. A small gift is not a respect."

Zhou Chen first greeted Xu Huanshan, and then handed him the packaged tea set in his hand.

Although Xu Huanshan had a little resistance to Zhou Chen, he definitely wouldn't show it, so he declined with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, it is our honor for you to come. You are really too polite to bring any gifts."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It's a happy housewarming. If I don't bring a gift, I don't have the nerve to come here. You don't have to be too polite, Mr. Xu. They are neighbors upstairs and downstairs, and they will spend a long time together in the future."

"Huanshan, what Zhou Chen said is correct, they are all neighbors, so just accept it."

As soon as Gu Jia opened his mouth, Xu Huanshan stopped being polite and thanked Zhou Chen before officially accepting the gift.

He glanced at it. It was a tea set, and it seemed that it would not be cheap.

Gu Jia introduced other people to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, this is Shen Jie, Huanshan and my friends, they are with us, and they are also in the fireworks business."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Shen Jie is very enthusiastic, he is smarter than Xu Huanshan, such a super rich, even if they can't do business, they will be a kind of capital in the future if they become friends.

"It is really an honor for me to know Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Shen, hello."

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shen Jie: "Mr. Shen, you are welcome. I think people who make fireworks must be people who understand romance. I can't do it. I don't understand romance at all, so I am still a bachelor until now." One."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou was joking, you are being picky."

Shen Jie thought that a rich man like Zhou Chen would be very strict and solemn, but Zhou Chen's sudden joke made him feel better.

The others couldn't help but laugh too, they wouldn't believe Zhou Chen's words.

With Zhou Chen's net worth, he couldn't find any kind of woman. The reason why he didn't get married must be because he didn't meet the right one.

After greeting Shen Jie, Gu Jia pointed to Zhong Xiaoqin and introduced: "Zhou Chen, this must be familiar to you, this is my best best friend Zhong Xiaoqin, I heard that she accidentally offended you last time, Today I am a peacemaker, I hope you can forgive her, she is very confused, and she is even more confused in her work, so she offends you unintentionally."

Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and said: "I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that you are still friends. If this is the case, then this face must be given. Miss Zhong, the last time was just like this. In the future, there will be no need for the parking space." You are staring, and I have troubled you during this time."

Zhong Xiaoqin said quickly: "No, it was my fault in the first place, and I should be punished. Mr. Zhou, you are welcome."

"Zhou Chen, this is Zhong Xiaoqin's husband, Chen Yu, Mr. Chen is an editor of a TV station, and the articles are very well written."

Gu Jia knew that people like Zhou Chen would not be the kind of people who talk empty words. Since he said it, he would definitely not target Zhong Xiaoqin again, so he didn't say anything more, and instead introduced Chen Yu to Zhou Chen .

Zhou Chen originally wanted to say hello immediately, but suddenly there was movement in the system.

"Encounter the main plot characters and trigger the mission."

"Mission 4: A successful career: Chen Yu is in a period when his talents are underappreciated, help Chen Yu to take off in his work, and there will never be a family status where women are strong and men are weak."

Zhou Chen never expected that when he met Chen Yu, he would be offered a task for him.

However, the content of this mission has the meaning of making him a good person and a saint, helping Chen Yu unconditionally.

Zhou Chen, who has watched the TV series, knows what kind of person Chen Yu is.

In the family, he is definitely not a good husband, but at work, he is still conscientious.

It is definitely not an easy task to come out of a small place to work hard in Shanghai, and to be able to own a house of your own.

From a female point of view, Chen Yu is definitely a scumbag, thinking that such a person should not get married, cold and violent all day long, anyway, for women, they can tell 1 things wrong about Chen Yu.

From a male perspective, in fact, Chen Yu's various behaviors are still understandable, especially for those men who have been married, many people can understand.

Because there are too many men like this in the real society. They were not like this at the beginning, but they were slowly forced to become like this.

It is true that Chen Yu doesn't understand romance and can't coax women, but it wasn't like that at the beginning. It can be seen that Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin were very affectionate at the beginning, and he has done a lot for Zhong Xiaoqin.

It's just that time has passed and the passion is gone. He uses actions to show that he is not willing to talk anymore, but Zhong Xiaoqin is very confused and can't see Chen Yu's goodness at all.

But this cannot be said to be his alone, Zhong Xiaoqin also has many problems.

Anyway, for a woman, a man's domestic violence is not acceptable, nor is cold violence, so he has to go around her all day long, coax her, apologize if he doesn't like it, and praise him if he likes it, this is a good man.

In a word, as long as the marriage is unhappy, most of it is the man's fault, and in the end it is the woman who bears everything alone...

This task is not difficult for Zhou Chen. With his current status, it is very easy to help Chen Yu.

These thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind. With a smile on his face, he shook hands with Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, hello, being a screenwriter for a TV station is a good job. People who don't have literary talent must not be able to do it well. Teacher Chen must have a good literary talent."

Chen Yu said modestly: "No, I don't have much literary talent, I just got lucky and just entered this unit."

"To tell you the truth, I always wanted to be a writer, and I wrote a lot of novels and poems, but unfortunately, alas, I had to give up writing anyway to inherit the family business, so I really envy Chen The teacher is such a talented person."

"is it?"

When Chen Yu heard it, he also became interested: "A person as busy as you still has time to write."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "That's all in the past, it's not working now, I can't write it 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."

"Mr. Chen, you've won the prize."

"No, to be honest."

Seeing Chen Yu and Zhou Chen chat enthusiastically, Zhong Xiaoqin was a little stunned.

This style of painting is a bit wrong, isn't her husband very talkative?How can you still hit it off so well with a rich man like Zhou Chen?
Not to mention her, even Gu Jia was surprised.

"Zhou Chen, Mr. Chen, it seems that you have found a common topic."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for letting me know Mr. Chen."

Chen Yu said politely: "It is my honor to know you, Mr. Zhou."

At this moment, Sister Chen, Gu Jia's nanny, came over.

"Jiajia, everything is ready and ready to serve."

So, Gu Jia immediately asked everyone to sit down.
