As soon as Li Li walked out of Zhou Chen's private room, she saw Manager Pan negotiating with a group of people, and she quickly walked over.
"what happened?"
Manager Pan reported in a low voice: "Boss Boss, these people are in the private room when they heard that Mr. Zhou is coming. They insist on going over to toast Mr. Zhou, but we haven't asked Mr. Zhou for instructions. It's really hard to make the decision for Mr. Zhou."
Li Li immediately understood what they were thinking. They just wanted to get close to Zhou Chen. Normally, she would not have stopped her, but today was the first time Zhou Chen came to Zhenyuan, and he was a distinguished guest invited by her.
She didn't want Zhou Chen to think that she was here only for utilitarianism.
"I'm sorry, everyone, Mr. Zhou said, I'm just here for dinner today and won't talk about business."
But how could these people be willing to listen? Normally, Zhou Chen Shenlong would never see his head or tail. Now he finally has a chance to see him. Especially those who have a strong purpose and want to follow Zhou Chen.
We met each other, toasted with wine, and got close to each other.
"Madam boss, we are just going to toast to a toast, we won't disturb Mr. Zhou."
"Yes, boss lady, you can invite Mr. Zhou. We know your ability. It's not easy to meet Mr. Zhou once. Boss boss, please give us a chance. We will definitely come back to support you in the future."
"Yes, boss lady..."
These people are not the kind of entrepreneurs who have nothing. Many of them are businessmen with their own companies. The purpose of approaching Zhou Chen is naturally to get close to them and see if they can get investment or something through Zhou Chen's connections.
Seeing how excited they were, Li Li knew that if he refused again, he might offend others.
"Bosses, let me ask Mr. Zhou. If Zhou Chen is willing to meet, I will take you in for a toast. But if Mr. Zhou doesn't see you, bosses, please don't embarrass me. After all, I am a restaurant owner.
I can’t afford to offend Mr. Zhou and all the other bosses.”
Of course, no one dares to really underestimate Li Li. After all, Li Li opened such a large Zhizhen Garden, and the power behind it must be quite large. No one wants to offend Li Li.
Li Li turned around and went to the private room again, but came out again after a while.
"Bosses, I'm so sorry. Mr. Zhou said that we will only eat today and not talk about business or toast. If there is a chance in the future, I will drink old wine with all the bosses again."
Although these people were very disappointed and dissatisfied, they didn't say anything else. After all, they had something to ask for. If Zhou Chen didn't see them, they couldn't force their way in.
After dealing with these people, Li Li returned to the private room where Wei Hongqing and Fan Xinhua were.
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Wei, how was your chat?"
Wei Hongqing laughed loudly: "Mr. Fan and I had a very pleasant chat, and I would like to thank Miss Li for the introduction."
Fan Xinhua also greeted me with a smile: "Mr. Wei is young and promising, which is admirable."
Li Li smiled and said: "The most important thing for guests who come to my Zhenyuan is to be happy. Since both of you are happy, I feel more at ease."
Mr. Fan suddenly asked casually: "Li Li, I just heard a lot of noise outside. Is there another big star coming? If it is a big star, I have to get an autograph so that I can give it to you when I get back."
My old lady, please please her."
Li Li said with a smile: "It is true that a big shot came to support him, but he is not a big star on TV, but a big star on the Yellow River Road. Mr. Zhou, Mr. Fan and Mr. Wei must have heard of him."
"Mr. Zhou?"
"Mr. Zhou!"
Fan Xinhua and Wei Hongqing both looked shocked.
"But Mr. Zhou, who is known as the God of Wealth on Yellow River Road?"
"Yes, that's him."
Fan Xinhua asked urgently: "I have been famous for Mr. Zhou for a long time, but I only took a look at him from a distance during the second venture capital meeting. Li Li, I wonder if you can take me there to show Mr. Zhou
Always toast to old wine?"
Wei Hongqing also followed up and said: "And me, I have admired Mr. Zhou for a long time, and I also want to propose a toast to Mr. Zhou."
Li Li refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, Mr. Wei, there were many people who wanted to toast just now, but Mr. Zhou didn't agree. Today he just came to eat. Mr. Zhou's request, we can only
If you can obey, you will have many opportunities after toasting to Mr. Zhou."
Fan Xinhua's eyes lit up and he asked: "You mean, Mr. Zhou will be permanently stationed in Zhizhenyuan in the future?"
Li Li replied ambiguously: "I didn't say that. Who is Mr. Zhou? Who can make the decision for him? I can only guarantee that every time Mr. Zhou comes, Zhizhenyuan will do its best to take care of him."
Fan Xinhua and Mr. Wei were both very disappointed. After all, they usually couldn't see Zhou Chen at all, but now that they were right in front of them, they still had no chance to see him. How could they not be disappointed.
Li Li chatted with Wei Hongqing and Fan Xinhua for a few more words before leaving.
Because Zhou Chen appeared in Zhizhenyuan, although he entered through the small kitchen door at the back, which was strange, it was undeniable that it really raised the reputation of Zhizhenyuan to a higher level.
In Zhou Chen's private room, the food was served very quickly, and a table of dishes was quickly served.
Li Li walked into the private room with another bottle of Moutai.
"Mr. Zhou, you didn't treat me well, so I'd like to invite Haihan."
"Ms. Li Li was joking. If this can be called poor hospitality, what else could it be? Could it be possible that a group of reporters would really come to me to take a bunch of photos and submit them to the newspaper?"
Li Li opened the wine, poured a glass for Zhou Chen, poured another glass for himself, and then raised the glass.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for your compliment today. This is my greatest honor. I will do it first as a token of respect."
After saying that, she drank the half cup of white wine in one gulp. After finishing it, her expression obviously changed a little. After all, this was a red wine glass, and even if it was only half a cup, it still had at least two ounces.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything and just finished it in one gulp.
"Ms. Li Li, I know you are very busy today. You really don't need to take care of me. I'm just here to eat."
"If Mr. Zhou wants to eat in the future, he can come to our Zhizhen Garden at any time. As long as I, Li Li, are here for a day, Zhizhen Garden will always be open to Mr. Zhou for free. No matter what Mr. Zhou wants to eat or drink, Zhizhen Garden will pay for it."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "When Miss Li said this, I didn't dare to come."
Li Li heard Zhou Chen's joke and smiled. After saying a few words to Zhou Chen, he left the private room.
Today's Zhizhen Garden is definitely the protagonist of Huanghe Road. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was very grand. Many celebrities and local Shanghai celebrities were invited to the opening ceremony. Finally, even the famous Mr. Zhou entered Zhizhen Garden.
So this time Zhizhenyuan really made a name for itself on the Yellow River Road.
Zhou Chen was eating and drinking by himself in the private room of Zhizhen Garden. When it was almost done, he was ready to get up and leave.
When he asked Wang Yuan to check out, he was told that he didn't have to pay today. Wang Yuan knew Zhou Chen's habits and insisted on paying.
Finally, Li Li came to see Zhou Chen again.
"Mr. Zhou, we specially invited you to come here today. You have already given us a lot of face by coming here. Why do you have the nerve to accept your money? This is not a slap in my face."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "I never like to eat free meals, because the free ones are often the most expensive ones, but since Miss Li said so, I will give you a face today. This time I am just a human being."
I came, but I didn’t bring any gifts, and I didn’t give any money for the meal. I’ll definitely pay it back next time I come back.”
Li Li said: "Mr. Zhou is really too polite. Your arrival is the best gift. If you really want to calculate it, we Zhizhenyuan borrowed your name from Mr. Zhou, so we should give you the money."
Yes, but I know that if I really give money, Mr. Zhou may never step foot into Zhenyuan again."
Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. If Li Lizhen did that, he would definitely not come again in the future.
Finally, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Li Li, refused other people's invitations, got into his car, and left Huanghe Road.
In the next few days, Huanghe Road was still very lively, and Zhizhen Garden was also full of people. Starting from the opening day, it was full for several consecutive nights.
For a time, Zhizhen Garden was on the rise, and many proprietresses on Huanghe Road were filled with resentment.
"Sir, this is Commander Kai's pastry you requested."
In the early morning, Zhou Chen finished his run, took a shower, and came to the restaurant. Several Western pastries were already placed on the table.
Zhou Chen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Meizi."
Zhu Mei replied respectfully: "Sir, this is what I should do."
"Youcheng haven't gotten up yet?"
"Nope."
"Leave one for him."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Chen tried the famous Kesling Western Dessert in Shanghai. It tasted really good, but it was a bit sweet.
"Go buy some cooked vegetables from Guangming Village tomorrow."
"Okay, sir."
After Zhou Chen finished dinner, he returned to the study. After a while, Wang Yuan came over to report the situation to him.
From Wang Yuan's mouth, Zhou Chen learned that during the confrontation with Mr. Fan's batch of burning mercerized cotton, Li Li suffered at the hands of Mr. Bao. She underestimated Mr. Bao's ability and overestimated Wei Hongqing's strength. As a result, because of the information
The difference did not lead to this business.
Mr. Fan also suffered a big loss because of his vacillation and desire to strive for maximum benefits, and finally had no choice but to agree to Mr. Bao's request for a price reduction.
Although he will lose two to three million due to the price reduction, he must do this compared to selling out all the goods, becoming a famous brand in Shanghai, and meeting export targets.
As for Mr. Wei Wei Hongqing, he is famous all over Huanghe Road because of the Eighty-Eight Table King Farewell My Concubine. Although it is only the black and red of the negative textbook, black and red are also red. At least someone knows about him Wei Hongqing and knows that Wei Hongqing dares to compete with Mr. Bao for orders.
.
Even if he fails to grab the order in the end, at least he has the courage to compete with Mr. Bao, which is much better than others.
That night, Zhou Chen was bored and went to a restaurant.
"Boss, let's order a pork ribs rice cake."
This is the restaurant that appeared several times in the TV series Fanhua. It is also Wang Mingzhu’s favorite restaurant to eat pork ribs and rice cakes.
The pork ribs rice cake came out quickly. Zhou Chen took a few bites and found that the taste was pretty good, but not that delicious. Wang Mingzhu liked the pork ribs rice cake in this store. It was probably just part of the reason that she liked to eat it, but more of it was missing her.
in the past.
At this moment, the sound of pushing the door suddenly sounded, followed by a woman's voice,
"Boss, a pork ribs rice cake."
"Miss Wang is here. Please sit down first. She will be here soon."
Wang Mingzhu shook her hair, carried her bag, and prepared to sit where she usually sat.
But when she turned around, she realized that her usual seat had been taken by someone. What was even more surprising was that she knew this person.
"Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Chen turned his head, saw Wang Mingzhu, and said hello with a smile.
"Miss Wang, what a coincidence."
Wang Mingzhu is also a celebrity on the Yellow River Road. After he crossed over, although the two of them had no intersection, he still knew Wang Mingzhu.
After confirming that it was Mr. Zhou, Wang Mingzhu was even more surprised. She walked over and sat down next to Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you eating here?"
This pork rib rice cake shop is just a small shop. In her eyes, Zhou Chen is a celebrity in Shanghai and should not eat in a place like this.
Zhou Chen said: "Why can't I be here? I heard that the pork ribs rice cake here is good, so I came over to try it. It tastes really good. From the look of Miss Wang, she seems to be a regular customer here?"
Wang Mingzhu opened her mouth and said, "Of course, I've been eating the pork ribs rice cakes from this store for more than ten years. Their family didn't live here before, but they moved here later. Their pork ribs rice cakes are the best."
After eating it, I think it tastes better than the food on the Yellow River Road."
Zhou Chen smiled. The pork ribs rice cake in this restaurant may be Wang Mingzhu's favorite, but if you really want to compare it with the dishes on Huanghe Road, there is still no comparison.
Wang Mingzhu looked at Zhou Chen. She was rarely curious about strangers, but she was really curious about Zhou Chen.
Not only because Zhou Chen is famous in Shanghai, but also because she went to the first venture capital conference with her master, and her master Jin Ke gave Zhou Chen high praise at that time.
Facts later proved that her master's vision was correct. Zhou Chen did quickly achieve what others had not been able to achieve for many years.
"Miss Wang, what are you looking at?"
The absent-minded Wang Mingzhu suddenly turned red and quickly looked away.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious. I've heard others say that Mr. Zhou is not an easy person to talk to, but I don't think so. Some people say that you..."
"How much money do stupid people have?"
Wang Mingzhu suddenly looked embarrassed. There were indeed many people saying such rumors on the Yellow River Road. After all, no one had invested as much as Zhou Chen before.
"Miss Wang, your pork ribs rice cake is ready."
Fortunately, the boss came over at this time to break the awkwardness. Wang Mingzhu quickly turned her head and stared at her pork ribs rice cake, but suddenly she raised her head again.
"I think you are different from the rumors. We were not familiar with each other before, but you can talk to me patiently, which shows that you are not the kind of person who is difficult to talk to, and you are someone that my master admires. I
I don’t believe such rumors either.”
Looking at Wang Mingzhu with a determined look on his face, Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"Rumors stop at the wise. How could Miss Wang be so smart and deceived by rumors? Just like there are rumors on the Yellow River Road that Miss Wang has such prestige because of Mr. Bao, but in my opinion, Miss Wang has real ability."
As a salesperson, you don’t rely on Mr. Bao, you and Mr. Bao succeed each other.”
