"Oh, it's so lively today, there are so many people around."
Zhou Chen walked down the stairs slowly and stood right between Lu Meilin and Wang Mingzhu.
"Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou."
Seeing Zhou Chen, Lu Meilin and Wang Mingzhu were both very surprised, especially Wang Mingzhu. She did not expect to see Zhou Chen in Jin Meilin.
Everyone onlookers also looked at Zhou Chen, the uninvited guest, and many people were whispering, saying that Lu Meilin was so capable that she actually invited Zhou Chen to Jin Meilin for dinner, etc.
Lu Meilin, who had a ferocious look on her face just now, immediately restrained her anger when she saw Zhou Chen, changed her face quickly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, it is my responsibility to disturb you while you are eating. It is just a small trouble.
We will solve it soon, you can go upstairs and continue eating and drinking."
"How can I eat and drink when you are so noisy? I haven't been to Jin Meilin for a long time, and when I came today, I made such a fuss. I don't know what you think you have against me."
Lu Meilin immediately defended: "Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about? You are the God of Wealth on our Yellow River Road. How can I have any objection to you? It is true that there was a villain who caused trouble today and we were bullied and had no choice but to do it."
.”
Before he finished speaking, a burly man pointed at Lu Meilin and shouted: "Who are you talking about?"
"I'm just talking about you, how about you, you still want to hit me, right?"
Lu Meilin was polite to Zhou Chen, but it was different with others. She held her neck and sprayed wildly at the big man.
Wang Mingzhu hurriedly comforted Master Fan, and then asked Lu Meilin: "Lu Meilin, what do you want, how about you let Master Fan and the others go first, and I will go to the police station with you later."
"whispering sound."
Lu Meilin sneered disdainfully and said, "Friend, what you said is quite humorous. Why, this kind of thing can be changed? Okay, you can also give me a slap in the face, and I will let them go."
Before Wang Mingzhu could do anything, Master Fan couldn't help but roar again.
Seeing that the quarrel was about to start again, Zhou Chen said: "Boss Boss, how big of a deal is this? Are you going to the police station?"
Lu Meilin pointed at the man who was sitting on the ground and covering the back of his head, and said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, please tell me, I'm running a restaurant properly, but now I'm here to rob a private room, and I've even ripped open my man's head."
, this bullying has reached the door, I am a civilized person, I must call the police, don’t you think so?”
"Yes, that's the truth. No matter what, it is definitely wrong to hit someone."
Zhou Chen responded first, then turned around to see Wang Mingzhu with an eager face, winked at her, and then faced Lu Meilin again.
"But it's a rare time for me to come here, and something will happen as soon as I come. If I go to the police station, others will think that I, Zhou Chen, am a broom star. How much impact will this have on my reputation? Don't you think so, boss lady?"
Lu Meilin twitched the corner of her mouth. She didn't think it would have any impact, but she heard Zhou Chen's intention, which was to take the initiative to resolve the matter.
Wang Mingzhu's face was not enough for her, but Zhou Chen was different. Her face became unsightly.
She was also someone who wanted to save face. There were so many people watching the excitement around her, and she had shouted so loudly just now. If Zhou Chen could make her stop with just one word, she would feel too embarrassed even if she was facing Zhou Chen.
When hanging out on the Yellow River road, face is very important, but her eyes flickered a few times.
"Mr. Zhou, I must have given you your face, but the problem is, this guy kicked my husband like a ball, and his head was blown open. I really can't swallow this breath."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It's rare that I can be a peacemaker today, and you are willing to give me this face. Then tell me how you can swallow this breath."
Lu Meilin said loudly: "They beat someone and wanted me not to call the police, that's fine, but today's slap, I have to get it back no matter what."
Wang Mingzhu looked at Lu Meilin and asked, "You just want to give me a slap, right?"
"right."
Lu Meilin did not give in. If Mr. Bao was here, she might give him some face, but there was only Wang Mingzhu, and she was still a devolved Wang Mingzhu. She didn't care at all, she just wanted to get face back from Wang Mingzhu.
Zhou Chen grabbed Wang Mingzhu, pulled her behind, and then said to Lu Meilin: "Miss Wang is also a celebrity on the Yellow River Road, and she is a little girl. A slap in the face would be too ugly."
"Mr. Zhou, I don't have a problem with you wanting to protect Miss Wang, but the truth still has to be said. She is the one who brought the person. First, give Jin Meilin a hard time. I can't be beaten and not fight back, right? Look at him.
No one can bear the blood on his body."
Lu Meilin saw that Zhou Chen wanted to protect Wang Mingzhu, and she felt very unhappy, but she couldn't express it directly.
"I just want to be a peacemaker today. In this way, if your husband is beaten, let me say a few words to your husband first. If your husband is willing to make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter, then we will treat it lightly today.
Let it go, everyone will be harmonious, and we can live in peace and take care of each other's business in the future, what do you think?"
Zhou Chen made a suggestion, but Lu Meilin frowned, not understanding what Zhou Chen had in mind.
I glanced at my husband, whose head was covered with blood, and felt that he would definitely not be willing to be kind, but I also thought about his unreliable behavior in the past, and I was very hesitant.
Zhou Chen ignored her, but walked up to Boss Jin and said, "Let's talk?"
Looking at Zhou Chen's calm eyes, Boss Jin couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He knew that this person was even afraid of Lu Meilin and Du Honggen.
"well."
He covered his head and stood up with the help of the waiter. He watched Zhou Chen walk into the private room next to him and hurriedly followed him.
Seeing how cowardly he was, Lu Meilin was so angry that her teeth itched, but thinking that the person she was facing was Zhou Chen, she could only suppress her anger.
"Mr. Bao is here!"
Suddenly someone called out, and then saw Mr. Bao walking in. Lu Meilin was not in the mood to deal with Mr. Bao anymore, so she just glanced at him lightly.
Mr. Bao walked up to Wang Mingzhu and asked about the situation. As Wang Mingzhu spoke, he looked worriedly at Zhou Chen and Boss Jin who were talking in the private room.
After a while, Zhou Chen and Boss Jin came out. When Boss Jin came out, he had a flattering smile on his face, as if something happened that made him particularly happy.
Zhou Chen didn't need to say anything, he took the initiative to walk to Lu Meilin and persuaded: "Meilin, Miss Wang has often patronized our Jin Meilin before. Today, Mr. Zhou is here, just to give Mr. Zhou a face. This matter is
Go over there."
Lu Meilin stared and shouted: "What did you say?"
Boss Jin felt very humiliated, but thinking of what Zhou Chen had just said, he felt extremely excited and forcibly pulled Lu Meilin to the side to persuade her.
After more than a minute, Lu Meilin came back with a look of displeasure on her face and snorted: "Miss Wang, today we are giving Mr. Zhou face and we won't argue with you. But please take those unreasonable things with you immediately."
People leave.”
"Who do you think is neither good nor good?"
Master Fan had a bad temper, but before he could say anything, his family members restrained him.
Wang Mingzhu's expression was not good, but she still apologized to Lu Meilin: "What happened today is our fault. I apologize to you on behalf of Master Fan. I'm sorry."
After saying that, she bent over and thanked Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou, thank you. I will remember what happened today and will definitely repay you in the future."
Then she took Master Fan and his family away from Jin Meilin. Mr. Bao also left with her, but before leaving, he smiled at Zhou Chen and nodded, and Zhou Chen smiled in return.
After the incident was over, Lu Meilin began to chase people away. Although she was dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's meddling, she still talked to Zhou Chen with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, what just happened made you laugh."
"That's not to say, I would also like to thank the landlady and boss Jin for giving me this face."
What else could Lu Meilin say, she could only deal with it with a smile, but Boss Jin was very enthusiastic and led Zhou Chen back to the private room, licking his face and drinking and talking with Zhou Chen in the private room.
Zhizhenyuan, second floor.
Li Li leaned against the window, staring at the crowd opposite Jin Meilin who had dispersed, his eyes twinkling.
Manager Pan walked over with high heels on his feet.
"Boss Boss, Jin Meilin's conflict has been resolved by Mr. Zhou."
Li Li's red lips parted slightly: "I didn't realize it, but he is quite sympathetic to her. Just going to have a meal can lead to an affair where a hero saves a beautiful woman."
Manager Pan's expression changed slightly and he said: "I haven't heard that Mr. Zhou and Ms. Wang have anything to do with each other. Mr. Zhou probably just acted out of loyalty. Rather than friendship, I think Mr. Zhou is better off with the landlady. His attitude towards the landlady is similar to
It’s obviously different to others.”
Li Li hummed and said, "Do I care?" Then he twisted his waist and left.
Manager Pan looked at the back of his landlady and couldn't help but smile. If he really didn't care, would he be so concerned?
In Jin Meilin's private room, Boss Jin fawned over and poured wine with Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Zhou, you just said you could help me make money in the stock market. Is that true?"
The reason why he readily agreed to reconcile with Zhou Chen just now was because Zhou Chen told him that he could help him make money in the stock market in the future, so he agreed without hesitation.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "What I'm saying is that I can provide you with certain information. As for whether you buy it or not, that has nothing to do with me."
Boss Jin nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, in the stock market, inside information is the most important."
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say I was providing you with inside information. I was talking about information based on my own judgment."
Boss Jin's expression was stagnant, but he quickly said: "It's the same. Mr. Zhou, you made a fortune from stocks. Your information is more accurate than insider information. I definitely believe you."
Zhou Chen said: "As I said before, I will only provide you with one piece of news. Whether you will buy it or not, or how much you will earn if you buy it, even if you lose, it has nothing to do with me."
"Of course, I believe that someone like you, Mr. Zhou, will definitely not play tricks on me, otherwise it will not look good on you." Boss Jin said, licking his face.
Zhou Chen chuckled lightly, this was a secret threat to him, but seeing that the matter just now was settled properly, he didn't say anything.
"I will give you news around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Remember, I gave you the news. If it spreads and causes bad consequences, causing you to lose money, you will be responsible for everything. It has nothing to do with me. Please understand.
Yet?"
Boss Jin replied without hesitation: "I will definitely cover up the money-making news. How could I reveal it to others? Don't worry, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Chen was naturally talking about the upcoming Baoying War. Anyway, Boss Jin didn’t have much money at his disposal. Dozens or even millions would not be able to shake the market trend at all. What’s more, this was Qiang Mujie’s plan.
One hundred thousand is just a sprinkling of water.
Of course, even if it does have any impact, what does it have to do with him?
The market on the Shanghai Stock Exchange is too small, and he no longer needs to make money by buying stocks, unless he is a banker, but he is not willing to be a banker to harvest retail investors, so now he has no intention of stirring up trouble in this Baoying war.
At around eight o'clock, Zhou Chen walked out of Jin Meilin and saw Wang Mingzhu standing next to Jingxiu's cigarette paper shop, waving vigorously at him.
Zhou Chen walked over, and Wang Mingzhu immediately expressed her gratitude enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you so much just now."
"You waited until now just to thank me?"
Wang Mingzhu smiled sheepishly and said: "I don't want to enter Jinmeilin anymore, so I can only wait for you to come out. Mr. Zhou, I, Xiao Wang, will definitely remember the favor today and will definitely repay you in the future."
.”
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "There's no need for this. We still have some friendship over a few ribs and rice cakes. Today this is just a small thing, so you don't have to take it to heart."
Wang Mingzhu said very seriously: "It may be a small thing to you, but it is not a small thing to me. What happened today made me realize that it turns out that I, Wang Mingzhu, have nothing to do with anything on the Yellow River Road.
No, I used to be too sincere and self-righteous."
In the past, she was very famous on the Yellow River Road, and everyone looked after her and called her Miss Wang.
But today's experience made her understand that only Wang Mingzhu at No. 27 on the Bund is Miss Wang. Without No. 27, she is nothing.
"I feel so deeply."
"It doesn't matter if you don't think deeply about it."
Wang Mingzhu's face showed loneliness and unwillingness. She looked at Zhou Chen and said firmly: "Mr. Zhou, what you said is right. I should move on. I want to have my own career."
Originally, she was shaken by Zhou Chen's words. What happened today was the heaviest blow to her and made her completely determined.
Zhou Chen's expression became very serious and he asked: "Think clearly, it's easy to watch others do business in the sea, but it's not that easy to do business yourself, and it may be more difficult than you think.
"
"I know that no matter how difficult it is, I will do it. One day, I will let my name, Wang Mingzhu, appear on the Yellow River Road with dignity."
Wang Mingzhu's expression was determined. Today was very exciting, but it also made her see a lot clearly, and she learned that people still have to rely on themselves to stand firm.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I believe you can do it, then let's go into partnership as I proposed before?"
"no."
Wang Mingzhu shook her head and refused: "You are the famous Mr. Zhou. If we are a partner, others will come to me in front of you. What I want is to rely on my own ability to make people look at me differently, not on you, otherwise I, I will
What’s the point of going overseas to start a company?”
She relied on Mr. Bao's name to be very useful on the Yellow River Road. If she were replaced by Mr. Zhou, he would most likely be more useful than Mr. Bao. She didn't want that.
Zhou Chen said: "Didn't I say that we are a partnership? I am only responsible for providing the money. I will not tell anyone that we are a partnership. You are also the legal person of the company. Likewise, I will not come forward to help you. If you want to get foreign trade orders, you
You can only rely on your own abilities."
Wang Mingzhu frowned, thinking about Zhou Chen's suggestion. After a long while, she spoke again.
"I don't understand. I'm just a newcomer. Why do you insist on partnering with me? If you want to make money, there are a lot of people who are better than me."
Zhou Chen explained: "Two points. One is your eye. I think you have a good eye for me. Second, as an investor, the most fulfilling thing is to watch the process of the investee from zero to something.
, I think you have the potential to succeed, so I want to invest in you. I believe that my vision is not wrong, but I don’t know if you have confidence in yourself?"
"Of course I have confidence in myself."
Wang Mingzhu is also a proud and arrogant person, otherwise she would not think about proving herself.
"But this matter is of great importance. I need to think about it carefully and go back to discuss it with my parents."
"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for your reply, but I have to say one more thing. I am really optimistic about you and want to invest in you. Again, I only provide money, how the company operates, how to manage it, and so on.
Everything is up to you. Unless you have something to make up your mind about and need to discuss it with me, I will give you some advice."
Zhou Chen's conditions were like this, and Wang Mingzhu was even more grateful: "Thank you for your trust, I will seriously consider it."
Then, with her thoughts in mind, she left Huanghe Road.
Zhou Chen came to Jing Xiu and asked for another bottle of soda.
"I heard, Mr. Zhou, Zhengyi, if it hadn't been for you today, Miss Wang might have been bullied by Lu Meilin."
Wang Mingzhu is Jingxiu's Bai Yueguang. He is the one who hates Wang Mingzhu being wronged on Huanghe Road the most, but he has limited abilities and cannot help.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Even without me, there will be others to help Miss Wang."
"Who is Lu Meilin? She is used to being domineering on the Yellow River Road. Others don't have as much deterrence as you."
"Yes, how can anyone else be as powerful as Mr. Zhou?"
Li Li walked over with graceful steps, looking at Zhou Chen with his bright autumn eyes, half-smiling.
"Tonight, President Zhou's heroic deeds of saving the beauty have spread all over the Yellow River Road and become the biggest topic on the Yellow River Road."
When Jing Xiu saw Li Li coming, she immediately shrank her neck, closed the small window of the cigarette paper shop, and did not participate in the conversation between Zhou Chen and Li Li.
Hearing the emotion in Li Li's tone, Zhou Chen chuckled, took a step forward, and approached Li Li.
"If we really want to talk about a hero saving a beauty, today seems to be not the first time, and Miss Wang is not the first one, what do you think?"
Facing the approaching Zhou Chen, Li Li did not back down. Instead, she gave Zhou Chen a flirtatious look. Of course she knew what Zhou Chen meant. On the day Du Honggen came to Zhenyuan, although Zhou Chen did not show up, he was still shocked.
Du Honggen, saying that Zhou Chen saved her is totally fine.
"Are you ready to go back?"
"yes."
"The store is not busy today, and I am going back to rest. Can you give me a ride?"
"my pleasure."
"Wait for a while, I'll go change clothes."
Li Li Yingying smiled, turned around and walked back to Zhizhen Garden.
"Wow!"
Jingxiu opened the window again and said to Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou, you are so beautiful."
Zhou Chen said angrily: "You are quite gossipy."
Jing Xiu chuckled and said, "It's normal for people like Mr. Zhou to have a lot of sex. If they don't have sex, that's a problem."
"You know it very well."
Zhou Chen leaned in front of the pavilion, talking to Jing Xiu, waiting for Li Li.
Half an hour later, Li Li came out of Zhizhen Garden. She had already changed her clothes, took her bag, and walked up to Zhou Chen.
"Let's go."
"good."
Wang Yuan had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zhou Chen and Li Li arriving, he immediately opened the car door for them.
This was not the first time to see Li Li off. Wang Yuan was about to start the car when Li Li suddenly said: "Let's take a spin first."
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection and nodded to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan drove away from Huanghe Road and then drove around aimlessly.
After walking on the road for more than half an hour, Li Li finally said he wanted to go back to Taojiang Road.
In front of the apartment, Zhou Chen got off the car with Li Li. After saying goodbye to each other, Li Li suddenly stopped after walking a few steps. He turned to Zhou Chen and asked, "Would you like to go up and have a drink?"
Zhou Chen smiled: "Is it convenient?"
"certainly."
Having said that, how could Zhou Chen not agree? He waved to Wang Yuan and then followed Li Li towards the apartment.
Li Li's house is very simple, with no excessive decoration and no homey atmosphere at all.
"This is a place for me to rest. In fact, I often don't rest here, but sleep in hotels."
"Is it very hard?"
Li Li just took out the wine. When he heard Zhou Chen's question, he smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Just as she was about to open the drink, Zhou Chen held her hand and said softly: "In a hotel, it is inevitable to drink for business, but forget it after leaving the hotel."
Because of Zhou Chen's stop, the two of them were very close. Li Li could see Zhou Chen's face clearly just by raising his head slightly.
Although they had known each other for a long time, this was the first time they were so close together. Li Li did not dodge, but just looked at Zhou Chen, letting Zhou Chen take the bottle from her hand and throw it aside.
Zhou Chen raised his hand, gently traced his fingers across Li Li's face, and caressed his cheek with his thumb. Li Li still didn't avoid it, but his eyes changed slightly.
"Long-term drinking and staying up late are not good for your health, especially for women, and it affects your beauty. If you don't pay attention to maintenance now, no matter how much money you spend or how good cosmetics you use, it will be difficult to recover."
"Are you disgusted with me?"
"Of course not, I'm just a little distressed."
Zhou Chen's eyes were full of pity, and he suddenly hugged Li Li into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her.
Li Li's eyes widened in vain and her heart beat faster, but slowly, she chose to close her eyes and couldn't help but wrap her hands around Zhou Chen's waist, enjoying the tenderness.
After a long time, the two slowly separated, and they stuck together tightly.
Li Li didn't let go of his hands, he just looked at Zhou Chen and said calmly: "I'm not a good girl, aren't you worried?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "At this moment, shouldn't it be women who should be worried? As for what kind of woman you were before, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is the feeling between you and me at this moment.
.”
As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his body and picked up Li Li, and walked to the bed next to him. Li Li did not refuse, instead he put his arms around Zhou Chen's neck and kissed him sweetly.
