Chapter 346: Neptune appears and confronts each other head-on
"Manni, who is that man just now, and what is your relationship with him? I feel that the way he looks at you is wrong, and your state is also wrong."
After the deputy store manager secretly called Zhou Chen, he pulled Wang Manni, who had been absent for a long time, to the VIP room and started interrogating her.
When the man appeared in front of Wang Manni, she noticed something was wrong. Later, when the two entered the VIP room, she secretly called Zhou Chen.
Although she knew that there was a problem between Wang Manni and Zhou Chen, in comparison, she still felt that people like Zhou Chen were more reliable, not to mention that Zhou Chen was still their big customer here.
She didn't want to take care of Wang Manni's private life, but the problem was that such behavior might affect the store's business, so she had to take care of it.
Wang Manni said sheepishly: "His name is Liang Zhengxian. He is a friend I met on the cruise ship. I didn't expect him to come here."
Fate is so wonderful. Although Zhou Chen captured her, because of Linda's incident, she went on a cruise alone and met Liang Zhengxian, the King of the Sea.
Liang Zhengxian is really good at dealing with women. In addition, Wang Manni was hurt by Zhou Chen, which made her feel very bad. When she was depressed, she was more or less beaten by the personable and sweet-talking woman.
Liang Zhengxian attracts.
But she is also very sober, and just regards Liang Zhengxian as a traveler in life, a good memory.
But she never expected that Liang Zhengxian would chase her to the Magic City and even appear in front of her.
Facing Liang Zhengxian's sweet words, she almost fell.
But for some reason, at the last moment, Zhou Chen's figure flashed through her mind.
She couldn't help but compare Liang Zhengxian with Zhou Chen, and then discovered that Liang Zhengxian seemed to have nothing to compare with Zhou Chen, except that he talked more sweetly and made women happy than Zhou Chen.
She didn't know how rich and status Liang Zhengxian was, but she was sure that a person from Hong Kong Island would not be richer or more status than someone from a big family like Zhou Chen.
Not to mention looks, Liang Zhengxian has a charm, but compared to the younger and more handsome Zhou Chen, he is destined to be at a disadvantage.
There are many other aspects. Objectively speaking, Liang Zhengxian is actually inferior to Zhou Chen.
But the problem is that Wang Manni is unable to grasp Zhou Chen, and Liang Zhengxian seems to be infatuated with her. Frankly speaking, the mature and charming Liang Zhengxian seems to be a good choice.
Even though she knew that Liang Zhengxian's sweet words could never be directed at her alone, she was still moved by Liang Zhengxian's behavior.
The problem now is that she doesn't know Liang Zhengxian's origins, whether Liang Zhengxian is married, or whether he has other women.
But she knew that Zhou Chen was not married, even if there was only a chance, it was just a chance.
It was precisely because Zhou Chen was stuck in the middle that she did not immediately rush to find Liang Zhengxian without hesitation.
"Manni, let's take a snack. You're just a tourist. I think you should be more cautious."
The deputy store manager patted Wang Manni's shoulder and wanted to say something more, but Wang Manni's cell phone suddenly rang.
Wang Manni took out her cell phone and looked at it, her expression suddenly changed, and the deputy store manager also saw the caller ID.
"Manni, you can pick her up here, I'll go out first."
Wang Manni looked at the phone, her face full of confusion. She didn't know whether she should answer it.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally answered the phone.
"It's me." Zhou Chen's voice came from the other side.
Wang Manni said: "I know."
"Come to Junyue Mansion."
Wang Manni gritted her teeth, "Why should I listen to you? You treated me like that and ignored me for so long. Why are you calling me again now? It's over between us. I won't listen to you."
Zhou Chen didn't say any more nonsense and said directly: "We will get to the twentieth floor within half an hour. If you don't come, you will bear the consequences."
In the car, Zhou Chen put his cell phone next to him, his face gloomy.
"Neptune, Liang Zhengxian?"
After the deputy store manager said those words, Zhou Chen guessed that it was Liang Zhengxian who came to see Wang Manni.
Wang Manni had already had a relationship with him. Although they had problems now and had not seen each other for a long time, he was still very unhappy when he heard Liang Zhengxian's appearance.
He knew very well who Liang Zhengxian was, a Neptune King.
Although he himself is not much better than Liang Zhengxian, at least he did not lie to others, nor did he play with women.
As long as Wang Manni didn't tell him in front of him that we would never have contact with each other until we die, then Wang Manni was his. Now that Liang Zhengxian wanted to hook up with Wang Manni, it naturally made him very unhappy.
"There's plenty of time to take care of you."
Whether Liang Zhengxian is the King of Neptune actually has nothing to do with him, but now he can't sit idly by and ignore the person who has offended him, even if he is just his lover Wang Manni.
Soon he returned to Junyue Mansion, where Zhou Chen was waiting for Wang Manni's arrival.
He believed that Wang Manni would definitely come.
Sure enough, before the half-hour deadline came, Wang Manni had already appeared at his door.
"Come in."
Wang Manni walked in with a straight face.
"Are you keeping a straight face just to show me?"
Wang Manni said coldly: "Why did you ask me to come here? It seems that there is nothing left to say between us, right?"
"have nothing to say?"
Zhou Chen suddenly walked towards Wang Manni, who was so frightened that Wang Manni quickly backed away, fearing that Zhou Chen would do something wrong to her.
But Zhou Chen did not take action, but stopped in front of her.
Wang Manni frowned: "Yes, you don't lack women anyway. Just move your fingers and many women will come to your door. Why are you looking for me?"
"You are so resentful, which means you still have me in your heart." Zhou Chen chuckled.
Wang Manni suddenly became anxious: "How is it possible? You have already told me that it is impossible between us. How could I have you in my heart? I came here today to make it clear to you that I don't want to be your underground lover.
I also want to get married like a normal woman, instead of thinking about how to please you and competing with other women all day long. I don’t have the energy."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Chen forced Wang Manni to the wall. Wang Manni wanted to escape, but was caught by him.
"Don't move, you should know how strong I am."
"You, don't mess around. I've already made my words clear. Let me go."
Wang Manni couldn't break free and could only struggle with words.
Zhou Chen stared at her with his eyes. Wang Manni looked at Zhou Chen not to be outdone. However, facing Zhou Chen's aggressive eyes, she slowly retreated.
Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she still couldn't let go when she thought about the moments she spent with Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen brought her too many things, but what she wanted most was exactly what Zhou Chen was unwilling to give her.
Zhou Chen let go of Wang Manni and walked to the sofa next to him to sit down.
Wang Manni breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Zhou Chen would try hard on her. Then she really didn't know what she would do.
"You want to break off the relationship with me, isn't it because of the man you met on the cruise ship?"
Wang Manni looked horrified, how did Zhou Chen know about this?
But she soon figured it out. Someone in the store must have told Zhou Chen quietly, otherwise Zhou Chen wouldn't have known it so quickly.
"No, it has nothing to do with him. I just don't want to go on like this with you. I'm already thirty years old. If I don't get married, it will be harder to get married in the future."
"Ah."
Zhou Chen sneered, why didn't you say that when you were with him before?
Now that I've met Liang Zhengxian, I think he's a good guy and I think I've got a new partner, so now I'm confident enough to have a showdown with him?
"This kind of thing is about your own free will. If you don't want to, I won't force you. But do you really think that the man you met is your perfect match?"
"It's none of your business."
Wang Manni didn't know much about Liang Zhengxian, but she didn't want to show her weakness in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and he hummed: "Wang Manni, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? Do you think I'm easy to talk to, so I'm fearless?"
Wang Manni gritted her teeth and wanted to say harsh words, but when she saw Zhou Chen's cold eyes, she could no longer say anything.
"Wang Manni, think about it with your brain. If I really didn't care about you, do you think I would leave the company alone and come back to call you here?"
"A man you meet on a cruise ship almost makes you lose your mind. You don't know whether to call you innocent or vain. You don't even know the other person's details and you just want to date him."
Wang Manni didn't believe it: "I am just one of the women who has a relationship with you. What you care about is not me at all, but you don't want me to leave you and be with another man."
"Whatever you think, but I want to tell you, you can't go to that man within three days. I will find out his details. After three days, if you still want to go with him after reading his details,
If you want to date, I will never delay you."
Zhou Chen did not deny what Wang Manni said. He did have such thoughts, but he believed that after Wang Manni knew the details of Liang Zhengxian, she would definitely not continue with Liang Zhengxian, and maybe she would remember his kindness.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Wang Manni asked unwillingly, but her tone seemed a bit weak, showing her lack of confidence.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "If you don't listen to me, I guarantee you won't be able to go downstairs today."
Wang Manni was immediately startled. Remembering how strong Zhou Chen was back then, she felt even less confident.
"I still have something to do in the store, so I'll leave first."
Wang Manni fled from Zhou Chen's house in embarrassment, only to hear Zhou Chen say from behind: "Remember what I said."
Racecourse!
Although Gu Jia had Zhou Chen's help, people in the wife's circle did not dare to underestimate her, but Mrs. Yu did not regard her as differently as she imagined, let alone persuade her husband to hand over the fireworks qualification of the park to their company.
.
Gu Jia had no choice but to start from other places. Knowing that Mrs. Yu would often bring her children to the racecourse, she took her son to the racecourse.
"Gu Jia, since you are helping me, I have already told my husband. He said that we can make an appointment to play golf together. It would be better if we could call Mr. Zhou Chen.
"
Mrs. Yu's words made Gu Jia's expression solidify.
The meaning is already obvious. Their family can give Le Yuan's courage to her, but the prerequisite is that Zhou Chen can be asked out. The Yu family must have something that needs Zhou Chen's help.
"Mrs. Yu is joking, Zhou Chen is not someone I can always call upon."
Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "Aren't you and him friends? Isn't it normal for a friend to call him out for a meal?"
Although Mrs. Yu is not smart, her husband is smart. She has already had an issue with her husband about Gu Jia's desire to be qualified to operate fireworks in the park.
Recently, her husband wants to start a medical supplies business, but this industry is not easy and it is difficult to get started.
It just so happens that Zhou Chen's Huaxing Group makes medicinal materials. Although it is not medical supplies, it must have extraordinary connections in the medical field.
The fireworks operation in the park was nothing, and he didn't take it seriously at all. Making friends with Zhou Chen was what the Yu family wanted to do most.
Gu Jia's smile was a little forced. She thought it would not be easy to win this business, but in the end it ended up coming to Zhou Chen, which she did not expect.
She suddenly remembered that when she went to the wife's circle party for the first time, she had heard Mrs. Yu say that her husband wanted to start a medical supplies business, and when he made an appointment with Zhou Chen, he must have wanted Zhou Chen's help.
This put her in a dilemma again.
She was certain that as long as she could get Zhou Chen to come out and meet the Yu couple, the paradise's order would be secure.
But this is tantamount to cheating Zhou Chen. She can't always use Zhou Chen to pull the banner.
"Mrs. Yu, I really can't help you with this."
She also had a bottom line. It was enough to use Zhou Chen once and she could not push further, so she refused on the spot.
Now it's Mrs. Yu's turn to be anxious. This is a task assigned to her by her husband. If she fails, she will definitely suffer when she goes back.
"Gu Jia, you and Zhou Chen are friends, how can you not help? I have promised our family, Lao Yu, that your family's fireworks are very good. We can try some in your family's amusement park first. If there is no problem, our family will
All the fireworks orders for the amusement park are given to your family. You must know that we have three large amusement parks under our name."
Facing his wife's temptation, Gu Jia still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yu, I think you can think of other ways."
Mrs. Yu's face suddenly became a little ugly. The other party didn't even give face to the Ma family. She would not naively think that Zhou Chen would give face to their family.
Without Gu Jia to mediate, it would be difficult for both parties to sit down and coexist peacefully, after all, they have never dealt with each other before.
Gu Jia had already figured it out. She smiled slightly and said, "Some things are more important than making money in business."
Mrs. Yu showed disdain: "That is based on the fact that you have a financial foundation. If you have no money, you will feel that money is more important than anything else."
"maybe."
Gu Jia didn't argue because she knew what Mrs. Yu said was true.
Seeing that Gu Jia was so desperate, Mrs. Yu spoke again: "Gu Jia, I forgot to tell you, our family is not the only one who wants to know Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Li and others also want to meet Mr. Zhou, so
I think you need to think about it carefully."
Gu Jia, who had not cared much about it at first, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this.
He may not care about Mrs. Yu, but if it's the entire circle of wives, she definitely can't afford to offend him, unless she doesn't want to be in the circle of wives anymore.
But she finally joined the circle of wives in order to help her family's business, but now she has gotten nothing, so naturally she is not willing to leave like this.
But she suddenly realized something, and her eyebrows immediately stretched.
"Mrs. Yu, I don't think I need to think about it. Now Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ma both know Zhou Chen. If they want to contact Zhou Chen, they will naturally have a way. They don't need to go through me at all. So, if they want to see Zhou Chen
, but you have no connections, it should be you, right?"
Mrs. Yu's face became ugly, but she didn't scare Gu Jia, so she smiled stiffly.
"Gu Jia, you'd better go back and think about it carefully before making a decision."
The confrontation between the two women came to an end, with no one winning or losing because neither of them got what they wanted.
The next day.
Cao Chengrui called Zhou Chen.
"Boss, we've found it. It's at the Case Hotel."
"Okay, wait for me downstairs."
Zhou Chen put down his cell phone with a stern look on his face. The person he asked Cao Chengrui to check was Liang Zhengxian.
He has no grievances against Liang Zhengxian, but if this guy provokes his people, he can't just sit back and ignore it. He must teach him a lesson.
Liang Zhengxian was staying in the hotel at the moment, thinking about what went wrong with him.
Based on his many years of experience, shouldn't Wang Manni go straight to the hotel to find him after her trip to Misia's store yesterday?
But why did Wang Manni not come over after he waited all day and night? Could it be that he didn't do a good enough job, or that Wang Manni was really difficult to deal with.
He thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out, so he planned to go there again today.
He has been looking for beauty for many years. Wang Manni is definitely not the most beautiful one, but she has a different charm that fascinates him and arouses his interest.
Especially when he didn't succeed yesterday, this made him even more unwilling to give up. He didn't believe there were still women he couldn't handle.
After getting dressed, Liang Zhengxian was ready to leave, but as soon as he walked to the hotel lobby, he was stopped before he could go out.
"Is this Mr. Liang?"
Liang Zhengxian looked at the strange man in front of him and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Do we know each other?"
"I don't know, Mr. Liang, our boss wants to meet with you."
It was Cao Chengrui who stopped Liang Zhengxian. He followed Zhou Chen's order to call Liang Zhengxian.
"I don't think I know who your boss is. Also, are you hiring someone like this?"
Liang Zhengxian showed dissatisfaction, straightened his sleeves, and said: "Tell your boss that I am not free now. If you want to see me, make an appointment first."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Cao Chengrui blocked his way.
"What, you want to be tough?" Liang Zhengxian's eyes showed a cold look, he was not afraid of this.
Cao Chengrui's expression remained unchanged and he said slowly: "Our boss said that if you want to see Miss Wang Manni, you'd better meet him. Otherwise, you will not be happy to see what happens next.
arrive."
Liang Zhengxian's expression suddenly froze, and he had an unpleasant feeling in his heart, and asked: "What is the relationship between your boss and Wang Manni?"
"You have to ask my boss in person about this, please, Mr. Liang."
Liang Zhengxian's expression changed, but he finally nodded and said, "Lead the way."
Under the leadership of Cao Chengrui, the two came to a private room in the hotel, and then Liang Zhengxian saw a man sitting in the private room.
"Boss, the man has arrived."
Zhou Chen turned around and nodded to Cao Chengrui first. After Cao Chengrui left, he looked at Liang Zhengxian.
"Hello, Mr. Liang."
Liang Zhengxian frowned and said: "This gentleman, we probably don't know each other. You said you want to see me, or is it related to Wang Manni? What is her relationship with you?"
Zhou Chen: "She is mine."
"your people?"
Liang Zhengxian felt something in his heart, and then shook his head and said: "Impossible, Manni told me that she is single."
"Ah."
Zhou Chen sneered: "Can't men and women have any other relationships besides being boyfriend and girlfriend? You should have more experience than me in this regard."
Liang Zhengxian: "You seem to know me very well. Who are you?"
This feeling made him very uncomfortable. Zhou Chen really wanted to know everything about him, but he knew nothing about Zhou Chen.
"Of course I know the famous second young master of the Liang family in Hong Kong. My name is Zhou Chen. As for who I am, you can investigate slowly. But what I want to warn you is, don't mess with Wang Manni again. Otherwise, don't
I blame you for being rude."
Liang Zhengxian frowned. Zhou Chen's tone made him very unhappy. He had never been afraid of anyone, and no one dared to threaten him like this in front of him.
But the other party clearly knew his origins and still had the confidence to threaten him, which shows that this man is not ordinary.
But who is Mr. Liang? He has been in the magic city for a while, knows a lot of people, and has a deep background. So even if he knows that Zhou Chen may not be simple, he is not the kind of person who will compromise after being threatened.
people.
"Every woman is an independent individual. As long as she is not married, men have the right to pursue her. If Manni rejects me in person, I can accept it, but you, I will not accept it."
As expected of the King of the Sea, what he said was very high-sounding.
Zhou Chen looked at Liang Zhengxian in slight shock. After all, he was almost forty years old, so why was he still acting like a spermatozoa.
For the sake of a woman, he doesn't mind offending an opponent who doesn't seem to be weak, and still acts so strong. Where does this self-confidence come from?
"It seems we can't reach an agreement?"
"We're not the same people in the first place, so how can we possibly get along with each other?"
"Then Mr. Liang, just take care of yourself."
Liang Zhengxian hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing.
After leaving the private room, he did not go to Wang Manni again, but quickly returned to the hotel room, preparing to contact his friends in Shanghai and ask them to help investigate Zhou Chen's situation.
In his opinion, Wang Manni was a very high-quality woman, and he was really reluctant to let him give up so easily.
So before that, he had to investigate Zhou Chen's background. If Zhou Chen's background was very deep, he would reconsider whether the gain outweighed the loss.
He acted so strongly just now because he didn't want to lose his momentum, but he is not stupid. He still understands that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
