Chapter 1225 Invite Wang Ying to dinner, I like a girl
The next day, Zhou Chen did not go with Qin Chuan and others to choose clothes, but went to the Stock Exchange in Shanghai alone.
Even though it is 2001, there are quite a lot of people here at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Shanghai is a big city after all, and many people living here have spare money. Now the stock market has slowly picked up, so
There are many people coming to see the stocks.
Zhou Chen came here just for a stroll. He had ideas and plans for how to make money. He had already made a lot of money due to the plane incident, so now he is not very interested in buying stocks.
In addition to hanging out here, I am also looking for people to chat with. Many people in the stock exchange are talented people, and it will be very interesting to chat with them.
Zhou Chen stayed from morning to afternoon and chatted with many people. Among them, two aunts liked him very much and were so enthusiastic that they insisted on introducing their nieces and nephews to him.
He also heard a lot of gossip from these aunts. For example, an official was caught raising a mistress and was beaten and made trouble by his real wife. Not only was he embarrassed, but he also lost his position.
There is also a very chaotic street in a certain street. At night, they are all filled with girls wearing cool clothes.
I have to say that these aunts are born to engage in intelligence. They will come up with all kinds of gossip when they open their mouths. There is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing they don't know.
Zhou Chen stayed here for a day, and even treated the two aunts to a box lunch, and they had a very happy chat.
Qin Qian's wedding day soon arrived. Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao served as best men and bridesmaids, while Zhou Chen acted as a member of the family and sat at the main table.
Qin Qian only had Zhou Chen and the three of them here, but Tan Hui had a lot of people from mixed society, his younger brothers, and his partner Cao Xiang'er and others.
At the wedding, Qin Chuan couldn't hold back in the end, cried profusely, made a lot of jokes, and was finally taken back to the room by Zhou Chen and Xie Qiao.
Early the next morning, as soon as Zhou Chen got up and washed up, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"What are you doing if you don't sleep so early in the morning?"
Zhou Chen opened the door and saw Qin Chuan, and said unhappily.
Qin Chuan looked anxious: "Zhou Chen, something happened to my roommate in Canada. I have to rush back immediately, so I don't have time to go back to the capital with you. You must look after Xie Qiao for me. Be sure to
Please send her back to school safely, please."
When Zhou Chen thought about it, it seemed that Chen Baojia, Qin Chuan's roommate, committed suicide and tricked Qin Chuan into returning to Canada.
So he asked: "Does your roommate have a good relationship with you? If something happens to her, she has to go back and take care of her while she is abroad. Doesn't she have any relatives or friends?"
Qin Chuan said anxiously: "Chen Baojia was alone abroad with no relatives around her. She committed suicide and only gave the hospital my number. How could I sit idly by and watch?"
"A person who can't even take responsibility for her own life, will she get better if you go back? Even if she gets better this time, what about next time? If she commits suicide and looks for you, if you go, you won't have yourself.
What’s your opinion?”
Zhou Chen really doesn't understand Qin Chuan's thoughts. Since you have no idea about Chen Baojia, why are you so anxious? Who are you to her?
You are in Shanghai, and her relatives are in Taiwan. No one is closer to the other. Her family won't go, but you, a roommate who shares the same apartment, will go. Isn't this funny?
But at this time, Qin Chuan couldn't think about that much at all. When he thought that Chen Baojia committed suicide because of himself, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. If something happened to Chen Baojia, he wouldn't be able to defend himself.
"I don't have time to explain so much to you. I have to go back. I'm sorry. Zhou Chen, please take Qiao Qiao back to school."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Zhou Chen grabbed him.
"You have to think carefully. Are you too anxious when you run back without knowing anything about the situation? Have you ever thought about what you might lose by going?"
Qin Chuan didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant at all, so he hurriedly broke away and patted Zhou Chen's arm.
"Brother, please excuse me, I'm leaving first."
Looking at Qin Chuan running away, Zhou Chen sighed. Although he was already helping Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan didn't listen to his advice, so he couldn't be blamed for not helping.
Now that Qin Chuan is gone, Xie Qiao may not be able to resist Yang Cheng's pursuit.
Scumbags are inherently more attractive to women than ordinary men, let alone a scumbag with Yang Cheng's qualifications. It's normal for Xie Qiao to be unable to resist.
"Forget it, why am I worrying so much? It's their own feelings and it's none of my business in the first place."
Turning around, he saw Xie Qiao standing pitifully at the door of the next room.
"Zhou Chen..."
"Okay, don't be sad, I'm still here, and you're not alone."
With Zhou Chen's comfort, Xie Qiao's uncomfortable mood slowly dissipated.
After Qin Chuan left, there was no need for Zhou Chen and Xie Qiao to stay any longer. He refused Qin Qian and Tan Hui's dinner invitation and took Xie Qiao to the airport.
Since Qin Chuan left, Xie Qiao seemed to have lost her temper and didn't talk much when flying. When Zhou Chen talked to her, she also dealt with it in a low spirit.
It wasn't until she returned to the girls' dormitory that Zhou Chen grabbed her.
"Qiaoqiao, be happy."
Xie Qiao looked at Zhou Chen blankly, and after a moment, he showed a smile.
"Thank you, Zhou Chen."
"We are growing up, aren't we?"
"Yes, we are growing up. You should go back quickly. I have also gone back to the dormitory."
After watching Xie Qiao enter the dormitory, Zhou Chen was about to turn around and leave.
Xie Qiao is really stupid, and Qin Chuan is not much better, but if they want to be together, some hardships are unavoidable.
"Zhou Chen, are you back?"
When Zhou Chen turned around, he saw Wang Ying holding a book and looking at him in surprise.
"Didn't you go to the Magic City with Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan? If you are here, then Xie Qiao is back too?"
"Well, we just came back and she just entered the dormitory."
"oh."
Wang Ying nodded and was about to go back to the dormitory, but Zhou Chen stopped her.
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
"You helped me before, but I haven't had time to thank you yet. It's almost dinner time, so I'll treat you to dinner as a token of my gratitude."
When Wang Ying heard that Zhou Chen wanted to invite her to dinner, she instinctively refused: "No, I'm just passing on a message, don't worry."
Zhou Chen emphasized: "That's not okay. You helped me and I treat you to a meal. It's natural. I know the eldest lady doesn't care about a meal, but I still ask the eldest lady to give me a chance to express my gratitude."
Seeing Zhou Chen's sincere attitude, Wang Ying couldn't refuse anymore, but she was too embarrassed to eat alone with Zhou Chen.
"Then I'll call Xu Lin and Xie Qiao, okay? I made an agreement with Xu Lin to have dinner together."
Of course Zhou Chen knew what Wang Ying was thinking and agreed without any hesitation.
"No problem at all."
Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then I will go back to the dormitory and call Xu Lin and Xie Qiao."
"Okay, I'll go back to the dormitory and drive."
After agreeing, Zhou Chen returned to his dormitory and drove the TT sports car he had just acquired.
This car is a two-door and four-seater. Although the back row is crowded, it can still accommodate four people.
When Zhou Chen drove to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, he only saw Wang Ying and Xu Lin.
Wang Ying opened the car door, first let Xu Lin get in the car, and then she sat in the passenger seat.
"Xie Qiao said she felt uncomfortable and had already gone to bed."
Xu Lin sat in the back row and greeted Zhou Chen cheerfully: "Zhou Chen, where are you going to take us to eat?"
Zhou Chen said: "You can choose a Chinese restaurant, a Western restaurant, or a hot pot restaurant."
Xu Lin looked at Wang Ying: "Miss, tell me."
Wang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to a Western restaurant. The environment is relatively better."
"Okay, no problem. Although I haven't been back for a long time, I still know a few good restaurants."
Zhou Chen started the car and quickly left the school. Twenty minutes later, he stopped at a relatively large Western restaurant.
After Xu Lin sat down, he couldn't help but look around. Seeing the calm faces of Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, he asked curiously: "How often do you come to a place like this?"
She used to live in Inner Mongolia, and this kind of Western restaurant was very rare. Anyway, she had never been to one.
"I'm treating you today, so don't save me any money. You can eat whatever you want."
Zhou Chen took the menu and handed it to Wang Ying in a gentlemanly manner. Wang Ying took it calmly.
"It's not bad. I've been here many times. As for him, he lives abroad, what do you think?"
"That's right, I'm the only country bumpkin who co-wrote it."
Xu Lin laughed at himself, then didn't take it seriously, stretched his neck, and looked at the menu with Wang Ying.
"Miss, please help me."
After ordering the meal, Wang Ying sat upright and asked: "What's going on with Xie Qiao today? I think she was not in a good mood after she came back. Did something happen to you in the Magic City?"
"Qin Chuan went back to Canada temporarily because of something, and she and I were the only ones back, so she probably wasn't very happy."
"Hey, let me just say that her relationship with Qin Chuan is more than just growing up. Otherwise, why would she be so sad if Qin Chuan left."
Xu Lin thought he had grasped the truth and said very proudly.
Zhou Chen smiled, did not answer, snapped his fingers, and waved to the violinist not far away.
When the violinist came over, he said, "Play a piece for these two beautiful ladies."
The foreigner replied very gentlemanly: "It's my pleasure."
The beautiful sound of the piano slowly sounded, and both Wang Ying and Xu Lin listened attentively. For Xu Lin, this was a very strange experience, which filled her with novelty.
After the song ended, Zhou Chen gave a tip, and soon the snacks were served.
…………
On the way back, Xu Lin kept talking.
"This is too dark. Just such a small thing cost more than 2,000 yuan, which is my living expenses for half a year. I will never come to a place like this again."
Her family was just an ordinary family, and this meal cost more than two thousand, which really scared her.
Wang Ying said: "Money is nothing. Good food, good service, and a good environment are enough. I think it's expensive because you drank so much red wine just now."
"Miss, that bottle of red wine costs more than a thousand dollars. If you don't drink it all, won't it be wasted? Zhou Chen invites us to dinner, and we can't waste it. If I weren't afraid of embarrassing you, I would even give the unfinished wine to you.
It was taken."
"Don't do it. If you do this, I won't dare to take you out for dinner next time. I can't afford to lose face."
Wang Ying quickly stopped Xu Lin's dangerous idea.
Xu Lin said: "Next time you want to take me to a restaurant like this, I won't come either. It's too much trouble. You have to pretend to eat and drag your feet. You haven't even eaten enough in the school cafeteria."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "If you want to eat enough, I invite you to go to the food stall outside the school next time. It's very lively there."
Xu Lin raised his hand in agreement: "I agree with this."
Wang Ying said, "I won't go. The environment is too bad and unhygienic."
Xu Lin said dissatisfied: "Miss, haven't you heard that if you are not clean, you will not get sick if you eat it."
"I've never heard of it. I only know that you can't eat unclean things."
"So, we can't compare to the state of a young lady like you. Look at Zhou Chen. He is also the second generation of rich people, but he still eats from roadside stalls."
Wang Ying responded with a 'haha' and a fake smile.
After sending Wang Ying and Xu Lin to the girls' dormitory building and waving goodbye to them, Zhou Chen left the school and returned to his home.
Although he was not alone with Wang Ying today, he was not discouraged at all. Being able to invite people out today was already progress. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. Wang Ying couldn't bring someone with him every time.
Chasing girls and fighting have something in common. The safest way is to eat away slowly step by step.
A few days later, Zhou Chen learned that Xiao Xi and Yang Cheng were in love with Xie Qiao.
Hearing the news, he was not surprised at all. Xie Qiao still failed to escape Yang Cheng's fate.
'Respect her choice.'
Zhou Chen just sighed and had no intention of interfering. This was someone else's feeling. He hadn't even completed his own task, so he had no time to care about others.
We are all adults, so just take care of yourself.
And very realistically speaking, Xie Qiao and Yang Cheng are together, which is more beneficial to him in pursuing Wang Ying.
On this day, Zhou Chen was eating in the cafeteria, and suddenly, Wang Ying sat on the seat opposite him.
"Wang Ying, why are you here?"
"I have something to do with you."
Zhou Chen swallowed his rice, put down his chopsticks, and then said, "Looking at your expression, you don't seem very happy. Tell me what's going on."
Wang Ying said straight to the point: "You already know about Xie Qiao's relationship with Yang Cheng, right?"
"You know, they seem to have been talking for half a month, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter? I know best who Yang Cheng is. He fell in love with Xie Qiao just for fun. Xie Qiao can't see it. I don't believe you can't see it. She is your child. Could it be that you just
Don’t you want to persuade her?”
Zhou Chen said: "Although Xie Qiao and I are growing up, this is her own relationship. I can't interfere, nor am I qualified to interfere. What's more, I haven't even solved my own emotional problems, so how can I have time to care about her?"
Feelings."
Wang Ying was stunned when she heard this, looked at Zhou Chen in surprise, and asked curiously: "You have your own emotional problems, are you also in love?"
"That's not true. It's just that I've fallen in love with a girl recently and I've been hesitant about telling her." Zhou Chen showed a tangled expression.
When Wang Ying heard this, her interest became even greater. She had known Zhou Chen for two months, and had eaten at the same table several times. She had also heard Xie Qiao talk about Zhou Chen, so she was also interested in Zhou Chen.
I have some understanding.
Even though she has been in relatively high-end circles since she was a child and has met many outstanding peers, even among these people, Zhou Chen is definitely a special one.
Handsome, gentle, wealthy, generous, mature, and informal...
Even though she didn't pay much attention to boys, she could tell many advantages about Zhou Chen, so when Zhou Chen said that he liked a girl, she was full of curiosity.
She really wanted to know what kind of girl could attract an outstanding boy like Zhou Chen.
