Chapter 1261: Friends Get Together, Wang Family Dinner

"Put it on for me."

Wang Ying sat in front of the dressing table and opened a jewelry box. This was the diamond necklace Zhou Chen bought for her.

Although the size of the diamond was much smaller than the previous sapphire, its value was not bad at all. The color and purity were both top-grade diamonds. Although it was only the size of a fingernail, the cut was perfect. Zhou Chen spent more than 200,000 US dollars on this Cartier diamond necklace, which was more expensive than the sapphire necklace.

Zhou Chen stood behind Wang Ying, picked up the necklace, and put it on her personally.

Looking at his radiant girlfriend in the mirror, Zhou Chen bent down, leaned his head against hers, and whispered in her ear.

"You are so beautiful. I suddenly don't want to go out. I want to pamper you again."

Wang Ying's ears turned red. She avoided the hot air exhaled by Zhou Chen and said angrily, "Stop it. We agreed to go to Pancake Monster. I finally put on my makeup. Don't mess it up."

Holding the necklace on her neck with her palm, she looked at the transparent and colorless diamond with a look of love on her face.

The diamond necklace is very expensive, but it was given by Zhou Chen. To her, it is countless times more precious than the value of the diamond necklace itself.

"You always buy me such expensive jewelry. Aren't you afraid that you will spoil me?"

Although she was raised in wealth since she was a child and never lacked anything, she was not as extravagant as she was after being with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen bought her clothes and bags, hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars, and bought several jewelry, which were either hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Other things were never cheap.

Zhou Chen whispered: "I didn't think so much, I just wanted to give you all the good things, and I would buy you anything that suits you. I am not interested in money. I think it is worth it no matter how much I spend on you and see your smile."

This is his true words. Money used to be the most wonderful thing in the world for him, but after dozens of worlds, that mentality has long been gone.

Money is shit. After traveling through more than 20 worlds, how many worlds can be brought to the real world?

Having said that, he actually has his own ideas. He doesn't want to care about money because Wang Ying doesn't care about it. The living environment since childhood has made Wang Ying not have a strong concept of money. Even if Zhou Chen spends a lot of money on her, she will not become a vain woman.

If it were someone who came to him for money, he would not spend money in the same way as he did to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying leaned back on Zhou Chen. She liked Zhou Chen saying such words to her, no matter how corny they were.

"Xu Lin often said that I was aloof and rational when I wasn't with you, but as soon as I was with you, my IQ was gone. Now that I think about it, what she said makes sense."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That means you can relax in front of me. You don't need to think so much. You can do whatever you want. This is exactly how you love me."

"You can say anything with a different meaning. You have such a big mouth."

Wang Ying tapped Zhou Chen's lips and suddenly kissed him: "I like it."

After talking sweetly with Zhou Chen for a while, she tidied herself up and took out a watch from another box.

The watch was also brought back by Zhou Chen. Like the necklace, it was from the Cartier brand. It was not as expensive as the diamond necklace, but it was also worth hundreds of thousands.

She didn't like to wear a watch at ordinary times, but Zhou Chen bought it for her, so she must arrange it and gently put it on her left wrist.

"I'm ready, I can go. By the way, I asked someone to take your car for inspection and maintenance."

"Well, this car will soon be scrapped. When you go abroad to study, you will have to deal with it."

It will be much easier to get a car in China in a few years. Zhou Chen will scrap this car when it is ready.

Wang Ying smiled and said, "I see Qin Chuan has always coveted your car. If you don't want it at that time, just use it as the company car of Pancake Monster."

"Driving a small sports car to sell pancakes, right? Then Qin Chuan will be very proud."

Wang Ying thought of Qin Chuan's pride and smiled.

"Let's go."

Today is the weekend. It was not yet noon when Zhou Chen and Wang Ying arrived at Pancake Monster. When they arrived, they saw Qin Chuan arguing with a woman who parked her car at the door.

"You can't stop, you really can't stop. How can we do business if you park your car in front of our store?"

"I'll just stop for a while, and leave after I finish my business. It won't delay you."

"Why not? If you park in front of my door, customers will have to go around. Big sister, can you please drive away?"

Qin Chuan talked to the woman and the woman moved her car away. But at this time, she drove over and parked directly at the place where the woman had just parked.

The woman, who was about to leave, stopped the car immediately, opened the window, pointed at Zhou Chen and Wang Ying who got out of the car, and shouted loudly.

"Hey, what do you mean? If you don't let me stop, how can they park?"

Qin Chuan explained: "Big sister, I'm so sorry. This is the boss of our store. The boss can park wherever he wants. We workers really can't control it."

The big sister heard the words, stepped on the accelerator angrily, and rushed out.

Qin Chuan saw Zhou Chen, screamed, rushed up and gave Zhou Chen a hug.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I thought you weren't coming back and didn't even want your girlfriend anymore."

"You can give up everything else, but not your girlfriend."

Qin Chuan curled his lips and pointed at Zhou Chen with his finger: "Listen, I miss you so much, but you only remember Wang Ying. You really forget your loyalty."

"Uh-huh, you're right. I just forget my duty, aren't you?" Zhou Chen admitted, but asked again.

"Of course I'm not you. Brothers are the most loyal people. Who doesn't know that?"

"Then Qiaoqiao and I, you choose one, who do you choose?"

"Go away, is this a question that a normal person can ask?"

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes and pulled Zhou Chen inside: "Come in quickly. Speaking of which, this is your first time here since our pancake shop opened. You are very incompetent as a shareholder."

Zhou Chen walked into the Pancake Monster store. The decoration inside was not complicated, and it looked a bit warm. There were not many seats, but there were definitely enough seats. After all, most people who buy pancakes will not eat them in the store.

"Brother Chen."

Da Long, who was making pancakes for the guests, saw Zhou Chen and said hello happily.

Zhou Chen also waved at him, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Yes, I saw you right. You do have a talent for business."

"That is."

Qin Chuan looked proud: "It's not bad here. Let me tell you, if it hadn't been delayed for more than a month because of the summer meeting, the business would definitely be better."

"Sit down, Zhou Chen, Wang Ying, you sit down first, I'll ask Dalong to spread a pancake for you, and I'll get you two cups of pearl milk tea."

Wang Ying said: "I won't eat pancakes, just have a cup of milk tea."

Zhou Chen said: "Is there red bean milk tea? If not, just pearl milk tea without pearls."

Qin Chuan's expression was startled: "You two are indeed a couple. One doesn't want pancakes, and the other doesn't want pearls. If pearls are not added to pearl milk tea, is it still called pearl milk tea?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We are guests today. You can do whatever you are told. You should also diversify here. Don't always make pearl milk tea. You can also make red bean milk tea."

Zhou Chen really doesn't like drinking pearl milk tea. He only drinks red bean milk tea.

Qin Chuan said impatiently: "Okay, I understand. Knowing that you are coming today, I called Qiao Qiao and she said she would come over later."

"Okay, got it."

Looking at Qin Chuan and Da Long who were busy, Wang Ying whispered: "Don't tell me, Qin Chuan and Da Long are really good. This store really made them open."

Zhou Chen said: "Of the two of them, one is smart and the other is down-to-earth and capable. The key is that Dalong still follows Qin Chuan's lead. There are no conflicts, the income is not bad, the efficiency is not bad, and the store is running normally."

"I don't know as much as you about this, but I trust your judgment."

Wang Ying knew everything about business, but she didn't know anything about it. However, she felt that with Zhou Chen by her side in the future, she wouldn't need to understand these things, so she felt at ease.

Soon, Qin Chuan came over with pancakes and milk tea.

"Here you go, your pork chop pancakes, slightly spicy, pearl milk tea without pearls, Wang Ying, your pearl milk tea."

Zhou Chen picked up the pancake and took a few bites, then nodded and said: "Well, the taste is still the same as before, there is no change. Dalong's craftsmanship is still stable."

Qin Chuan urged: "Don't just eat pancakes, try the milk tea too. I made this myself. Please give me some suggestions."

Zhou Chen took a sip, frowned and said, "The milk taste is too strong, please add less milk next time."

"There are so many problems."

"You asked me to give you advice, and I gave it, but you said I was finding fault. Now I am a customer, and the customer is God, do you understand?"

"It's a customer, so you pay."

Zhou Chen casually took out a banknote. Qin Chuan's eyes lit up and he snatched it away.

"Oh, this is a beautiful sword. It's rare. It's rare. It's worthy of being from the United States. It's so generous."

After saying that, he stuffed it into his pocket, and Zhou Chen sneered: "Look at your potential."

Qin Chuan smiled and didn't care, and then asked Wang Ying: "Wang Ying, how about the pearl milk tea? Is it better than last time?"

Wang Ying said: "It's okay. It's not much different from the ones outside. It's just a bit sweet and I can't finish it."

"Then I'll make you a small cup next time."

Now that he was not busy, Qin Chuan sat down next to Zhou Chen.

"I haven't been back for a few months. Are you taking classes over there in the United States, or are you busy with business?"

"All right. I don't need to go to class now. I'm just busy at the company."

"How long can you stay when you come back this time?"

Zhou Chen looked at Wang Ying and said, "I made an agreement with Wang Ying to stay and study with her until before the Spring Festival."

When Qin Chuan heard this, he immediately said happily: "That's great. I can stay for such a long time. Then when you have nothing to do, come and sit in the store and help me."

"You want me to work for free."

Zhou Chen smiled and then said: "But you are overthinking it. I have my own things to be busy with, but I don't have that much time to stay here and spread pancakes."

Qin Chuan chuckled and said, "I know it's not easy to get a big boss like you to work in a pancake shop. Even if you come, we can't afford your salary."

"Don't talk about salary, let's talk about when you can pay me dividends."

The three chatted for a while, and Xie Qiao finally arrived. Along with her were Xu Lin, Xiao Qianxi and He Xiaozhou.

"Zhou Chen, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you haven't changed much."

When Xie Qiao saw Zhou Chen, he immediately stepped forward to say hello with a smile, and He Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianxi also said hello one after another.

When it was Xu Lin's turn, she started shouting loudly.

"Zhou Chen, you are finally back. Wang Ying seems to be a different person these days when you are away, which makes us not used to it. She still smiles more when you are around."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Thank you for helping me take care of her these days when I am away."

"No, we can't afford this gratitude. She takes care of us more than we take care of her."

Xie Qiao quickly stopped Zhou Chen. She really had no place to take care of Wang Ying, and Wang Ying took care of her just fine.

Her naive tone made everyone laugh.

Qin Chuan quickly asked everyone to sit down: "Sit down first, sit down first, I will give you pancakes and pearl milk tea each. I treat you today."

Everyone sat down, and Xu Lin even sat next to Wang Ying. As soon as she sat down, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Hey, Wang Ying, you are a little different today."

She looked at it carefully, and her eyes suddenly fell on Wang Ying's hand.

"Let me tell you it's different. You don't usually wear a watch, but today you actually wear one."

As she spoke, she raised Wang Ying's hand, and Wang Ying patted her hand.

"Have you washed your hands? Don't touch me."

"Yes, yes, I won't touch you, but your watch is so beautiful. I knew it was Zhou Chen who gave it to you. If he hadn't given it to you, I guess you wouldn't wear it. He has always had good taste. The things I give you are carefully selected and they don’t look cheap.”

Wang Ying said helplessly: "You have the sharpest eyes. It was indeed given by Zhou Chen. Okay."

"Stop, stop talking. I don't want to know the price, because even if I know the price, I can't afford it. Even if I have money one day, I won't be willing to buy it."

Although she said this, her eyes were still staring at Wang Ying's watch. She was also a girl, and she also had a strong possessive desire for such beautiful things, but she could tell the difference between good and bad, and knew how much she weighed. two.

Zhou Chen and He Xiaozhou sat together and chatted quietly.

"Xiaozhou, how are you doing recently? I haven't been able to catch up with auntie's affairs and I haven't been able to help. I'm sorry."

He Xiaozhou smiled casually and said: "You have helped us a lot, but it has passed and I have let it go. In fact, if you are not coming back this time, I also have something to ask you for help."

"Have you figured out the matter of studying abroad?"

"Yes, I figured it out. This is what my mother told me before she died. She said that she was dragging me down and she wanted me to study abroad before she died. In fact, I didn't think so. On the contrary, it was because of her that I Understand what we really need.”

"Now that you have figured it out, I will contact you about studying abroad."

"Thank you. I have passed the TOEFL test and will take the American Graduate Record Examination next."

"I believe this will not trouble you."

Zhou Chen knew He Xiaozhou's academic performance and hard work. As long as he worked hard, the exam would not be difficult for him.

"As long as you pass the exam, you can go to the United States with me to enroll before then."

He Xiaozhou asked in surprise: "You want to stay until the year before?"

"Yes, you can come with me then. We will have a companion on the way, so it won't be too boring."

"Then, I'll think about it and let's talk about it then."

He Xiaozhou's original plan was that if he passed the exam and Zhou Chen had made arrangements for him, he would go there after the New Year and spend more time with his father and Qian Xi during the Spring Festival. After all, he didn't know when he would be back after leaving.

But now that Zhou Chen is leaving years ago, he is a little tempted. If he goes early, he can prepare well. The most important thing is that he has a dark eye on foreign countries. With Zhou Chen taking him, he will definitely be better than him alone. good.

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "It's still early anyway, so there's really no need to be too anxious. I'll say hello to you in advance when I'm leaving."

After a while, He Xiaozhou pulled Zhou Chen aside alone and returned a bank card to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, I really want to thank you for borrowing the money. However, the money has not been used up. There is still 460,000 in it. I will make money and pay it back to you slowly for the 40,000 I spent."

Zhou Chen understood He Xiaozhou's character, so he simply took the bank card.

"It's okay, don't be anxious. I don't worry about others, so how can I worry about you? You still have to focus on your studies now."

Zhou Chen's attitude also made He Xiaozhou feel a lot better, and he thanked him again.

Zhou Chen helped him several times, including helping his mother find a doctor to read medical records, lending him money, and helping him contact Stanford University to study abroad. These were all favors.

Money is easy to repay, but favor is hard to repay.

He not only expressed his gratitude, but also kept it in his heart. However, he knew that he could not repay these favors yet, so he secretly made up his mind to study hard and work hard in the future to try to repay Zhou Chen's favor as soon as possible.

Everyone played in the pancake shop until late in the evening before leaving.

Before parting, Xu Lin teased Wang Ying again: "Miss, are you going back to the dormitory tonight?"

Wang Ying said angrily: "It's none of your business."

Xu Lin smiled and said, "If you don't go back, I will be more comfortable in the dormitory, and I won't have to wash my feet every night."

"Xu Lin, are you disgusting? You are not allowed to climb up from my bed without washing your feet."

"You can't control it, you can't see it anyway, hey, you can't see it anyway."

Wang Ying had long been used to Xu Lin's antics, and when she saw her jumping away, she just smiled.

She took Zhou Chen's hand and said softly, "Let's go shopping, eat, watch a movie and go home."

Zhou Chen naturally had no objection, took her hand and left Pancake Monster together.

At the end of the weekend, Wang Ying started class on time, but it was a little difficult to get up every morning. She was very lazy. Not only did she stay in bed, but she also had to hold Zhou Chen together to prevent Zhou Chen from getting up first.

When Wang Ying went back to the dormitory to rest at noon, Xu Lin once discovered the diamond necklace on her neck, and was shocked at the time.

After learning the price of this diamond necklace, Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi were silent.

They found that before Wang Ying fell in love with Zhou Chen, although she was also a big lady, her material aspects were not so conspicuous and exaggerated.

But since falling in love with Zhou Chen, they have opened their eyes again and again. Gemstone necklaces that are more expensive than commercial housing in the capital, quadrangle courtyards worth tens of millions can be bought at will, custom clothes worth tens of thousands of yuan can be worn at will, and bags worth hundreds of thousands of yuan can be bought in bunches.

Zhou Chen had just been gone for a few months, and when he came back, he brought back a diamond necklace worth two million and a watch worth hundreds of thousands. How could ordinary people like them live?

Fortunately, Xie Qiao and the other three were not jealous people, and they were all in a good mood. They were depressed, but they still had to do what they had to do.

It was another weekend.

"My parents heard that you were back, so they asked you to come to our house for dinner tomorrow, and they specifically told me not to bring anything."

Wang Ying conveyed her parents' meaning to Zhou Chen, especially when she said not to bring anything at the end, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

She was thinking of the last time Zhou Chen went to her house and discussed calligraphy with her father.

Zhou Chen said, "Okay, we should go visit our uncle and aunt, so will your driver pick us up then?"

"My uncle will also go there, and he will definitely drink with you, so we'd better not drive."

"No problem."

On Saturday, Zhou Chen took the Wang family's car and came to the Wang family again, meeting Wang Ying's parents and uncle.

They had met several times, and the three elders of the Wang family all approved of Zhou Chen and Wang Ying's relationship, so this could be considered a family dinner.

Originally, Wang Ying's parents were a little worried about whether Zhou Chen's relationship with Wang Ying would change after the exchange student ended, but when they saw Zhou Chen coming back and still treating Wang Ying the same way as before, they were relieved.

During this period, Wang Ying's parents also made it clear that if Wang Ying wanted, they could agree to her going to Stanford University to study abroad in her senior year next year.

After this meal, Zhou Chen's relationship with the Wang family became closer. After the meal, Zhou Chen went to the study room with Wang Ying's father and uncle and talked freely for a long time.

In December, Zhou Chen went to Pengcheng and walked around Pengcheng. He planned to build a large pharmaceutical production plant in China because domestic workers are more cost-effective than foreign workers, and are easier to manage and can better control costs.

To be honest, the diligence of Chinese people is definitely ranked at the top among all countries in the world. China ranks second, and it is estimated that no country dares to say that it is the first.

Pengcheng is a place with rapid economic development and is more suitable for building factories. Zhou Chen came here to investigate.

After spending more than a week in Pengcheng, Zhou Chen returned to the capital. He Xiaozhou had passed the American Graduate Entrance Examination. Zhou Chen immediately contacted Stanford University to ask them to admit He Xiaozhou.

In early January, He Xiaozhou received an admission notice from Stanford University, asking him to report to the school on time when the spring semester starts.
