Chapter 1501: Meeting by Chance in a Restaurant, Going Out Together

"I heard from my colleagues that the food in this restaurant is good."

Huang Yimei pulled Zhou Chen into the restaurant. She actually didn't know much about this restaurant. She just heard her colleagues mention it when she was working. She and Zhou Chen happened to have dinner, so she stopped by this restaurant.

Zhou Chen naturally has no objection. For him, it doesn't matter where he eats it, as long as Huang Yimei likes it.

"Why aren't you busy today? Weren't you busy socializing the past few days?"

Ever since Peng Fei and Lin Xi went on their honeymoon, Zhou Chen had to manage the company, and there were some banquets, which was naturally difficult to avoid, so he hadn't had a good meal with Huang Yimei for a few days.

"You can't be too busy every day to spend time with your girlfriend. Don't worry, I can handle the company's affairs. In a few days, Peng Fei will be back, and I will be free."

In fact, he handles the company's affairs during the day. Given his ability, it's not really hard work, but he can't refuse many dinner parties at night.

This is the situation in China. Many cooperation negotiations start at the wine table. It has been a tradition since ancient times that people who can make a lot of money without eating or drinking are rare.

Huang Yimei laughed: "People who don't know, think that Peng Fei is the big boss of Chenxing Capital."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "He is also the shareholder and boss of the company. What's more, he likes to manage the company. I like to be free and do what we like. This is called tacit understanding."

Huang Yimei has always found it interesting. She originally thought that Zhou Chen must be a workaholic to open the company so big, but in fact, Zhou Chen is completely different from the workaholic and domineering president she imagined. He is more like a workaholic. Lazy master, 'retired veteran cadre'.

But she thinks this is good. When Zhou Chen is free, he can spend more time with her. This is the happiest thing for her who is passionately in love.

The two were talking when a man and a woman suddenly passed by. The woman among them expressed surprise when she saw Huang Yimei.

"Huang Yimei?"

"Han parrot."

Huang Yimei looked up and was very surprised to see Han Ying on the aisle next to her, and then saw Zhuang Guodong next to Han Ying.

"Mr. Zhuang."

Han Ying said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I just saw you and your boyfriend at the entrance of the company. I didn't expect that just a while later, we actually met again."

As she said that, her eyes unconsciously fell on Zhou Chen, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She was not able to see Zhou Chen's appearance clearly at the entrance of the company before, but now when she took a closer look, she found that Zhou Chen was as handsome as Zhuang Guodong, and he seemed to have more temperament, like a noble son.

"Huang Yimei, is this your boyfriend?"

Huang Yimei immediately introduced: "Yes, yes, he is my boyfriend, Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, this is a colleague of my company, Han Ying, we are in the same project team now, she takes good care of me."

Zhou Chen stood up and gently shook hands with Han Ying: "Hello, Miss Han."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Then Huang Yimei introduced Zhuang Guodong.

"This is Zhuang Guodong. He is now a partner with our company and is also the main person in charge of our project. Mr. Zhuang helped with Mr. Teng's previous matter."

After hearing Huang Yimei's introduction, Zhou Chen suddenly understood. He didn't expect to see Zhuang Guodong in this place.

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang."

"Hello."

Zhuang Guodong has also been sizing up Zhou Chen. In fact, he was attracted to Huang Yimei when he saw Huang Yimei at the banquet at the Huaxia Hotel that day, so he helped her find Mr. Teng. Later, he took the initiative to be in charge of the Sino-French exchange season. The purpose of the cooperation project is to have a chance to get along with Huang Yimei.

It's just that he is a thoughtful person, and he has never taken the initiative or refused in matters between men and women.

Even though he is interested in Huang Yimei, he has been holding back and not showing it. It was only after two project meetings that he took the initiative to ask Huang Yimei for her phone number today.

But who would have thought that as soon as he took the initiative, he would be greeted by a nightmare blow.

Huang Yimei actually has a boyfriend.

Now standing in front of Zhou Chen, he really has mixed feelings in his heart. Although he is romantic, he is not particularly familiar with Huang Yimei after all, so even if he is attracted to Huang Yimei, he will not make a move to win over her love. Do things.

So although he felt awkward, he still maintained his demeanor and greeted Zhou Chen with a smile.

Zhou Chen asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhuang and Miss Han are here to eat, too. If you don't mind, we can come together. It's just a way of thanking Mr. Zhuang for the help he gave Rose."

Huang Yimei also agreed: "Han Ying, Mr. Zhuang, if you don't mind, let's come together."

Han Ying hesitated slightly: "Isn't this bad?"

Zhuang Guodong refused directly and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhou and Miss Huang for the invitation, but we have already decided on the location, so we won't disturb you two. Han Ying, let's go over there."

"Okay, okay."

Of course Han Ying agreed. She was more willing to be alone with Zhuang Guodong than eating with Zhou Chen and the others. After all, she had different thoughts about Zhuang Guodong. It was easier for the two of them to be alone.

"Then I won't bother you."

After Zhuang Guodong and Han Ying left, Zhou Chen and Huang Yimei sat down again.

Although Huang Yimei was involved with Zhuang Guodong in the plot, Zhou Chen's appearance has changed everything, and now he is with Huang Yimei.

Huang Yimei may have some problems, but he believed that Huang Yimei would never be the kind of woman who would change her mind when she saw something different, so he was a little surprised by Zhuang Guodong's appearance and didn't take it to heart.

If he didn't have even this little bit of confidence, then his travels through dozens of film and television worlds would have been in vain.

Huang Yimei also didn't take it to heart. Although Zhuang Guodong expressed some thoughts today, she quickly killed him, so she didn't take it seriously at all and felt no guilt.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Chen took Huang Yimei to the shopping mall for a walk. After ten o'clock, he sent Huang Yimei home.

For many days, Zhou Chen was busy with work. It was not until Peng Fei and Lin Xi came back from their honeymoon that he was relieved of his heavy responsibilities and returned to his leisurely days happily.

Living longer has its advantages and disadvantages.

Zhou Chen's fighting spirit is extremely lacking now, especially in this ordinary urban world. If he had no money and power, he would definitely struggle, but once he got what he wanted, it would be difficult for him to continue fighting. I just want to retire and live a comfortable life.

What do people strive for?

Not just to have a sense of accomplishment and enjoy happiness, Zhou Chen feels that in this ordinary urban world, his current living situation is to enjoy happiness.

If you have enough money, a certain amount of connections and power, and as long as you don't commit suicide, you will definitely live a very comfortable life.

Like in the last Qing Yu Nian world, it was almost impossible for him to risk his life to reach the realm of a great master in the urban world.

As for the sense of achievement, in this ordinary urban world, not to mention, there are not many things that can make him achieve success, and even if there are, most of them can't be done.

When he is no longer busy with work, Zhou Chen naturally has plenty of time to accompany Huang Yimei.

"This painting is good. It is a famous British painter..."

On this day, Zhou Chen and Huang Yimei came to an art exhibition together. Both of them are good at painting. When they went to the exhibition together, they naturally had many topics to talk about.

Although Zhou Chen can be regarded as a master of painting, he is more proficient in Chinese painting, good at realism and expressionism. He is not actually proficient in foreign abstract paintings. On the contrary, Huang Yimei studied more modern paintings at university. When it comes to painting, I prefer abstraction.

After going around, Huang Yimei said with unfinished content: "Although there are many famous paintings here, I feel that if your paintings are put out for exhibition, it will definitely be more lively than this exhibition."

She had seen Zhou Chen's paintings and was amazed at the time, especially the figure paintings and landscape paintings. She had never seen such good paintings, they were so real and beautiful.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I paint just for my own entertainment and to record some people and things that are important to me. I really haven't thought about doing an exhibition."

He learned painting from Li Muzi, and later studied it on his own for many years, but he basically never thought about using his painting skills to make money, because he never lacked ways to make money.

Moreover, he paints only for himself, which is what he calls commemoration, and not to be exhibited for others to see.

"My parents asked us to go back for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'm fine."

"Then I'll call back now and let them prepare."

"No need to bother, just eat whatever you want."

…………

In the kitchen, Wu Yuejiang was cooking, while Huang Yimei stood aside, watching what was going on in the study while eating secretly.

Listening to the arguing coming from the study, Huang Yimei looked worried.

"Mom, don't you really need me to go over and try to persuade you? Are they having an academic discussion or quarreling? It feels like my dad is blushing from the argument."

Wu Yuejiang, who was cooking, heard this and smiled happily.

"Don't worry about them. Xiao Zhou is really powerful. Your father has met his opponent. A great professor in the field he is good at can't beat Xiao Zhou, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance. How can you not be blushing?"

Huang Yimei ate the ham sausage in her hand and muttered: "He is indeed very powerful and knows a lot. He is obviously studying finance. He can also draw and play the piano. Now he can have academic discussions with my father. He also He's only a few years older than me, but he's learned so many things. Is he really a genius?"

Compared with Huang Yimei's confusion, Wu Yuejiang's ability to accept is much stronger.

"Perhaps this is due to extraordinary talent."

She has been in the education industry for decades and has taught thousands of students. Those who can enter the Tsinghua campus are all talents. What's more, she has taught so many and met too many talented geniuses.

So although Zhou Chen's performance was very surprising, she could still accept it. The world of geniuses is different. Things that may be difficult for ordinary people to learn may be very easy for geniuses to learn.

Huang Yimei saw that there were still discussions and disputes in the study room. After confirming that there was no problem, she stopped paying attention.

For her, it was the best thing for her father to get along so well with her boyfriend.

"Today is Saturday, why hasn't my brother come back yet?"

"I called. I'll be back at dinner time."

Wu Yuejiang suddenly turned around and said with a serious face: "You already know about the blind date between your brother and the girl introduced by Professor Liang, right?"

"Yes, I understand. I heard what my brother said."

"Then do you know how your brother gets along with that girl?"

"I don't know much about this, but my brother mentioned it and it doesn't seem to be going well."

Wu Yuejiang pondered, "Your father and I have seen that girl. She is a very quiet girl. Zhenhua seems to be quite satisfied with her. It's just that he is not very good at getting along with girls. At this rate, I don't know when I can hold my grandson."

"Rose, you have to help your brother. Tomorrow is Sunday. Xiao Zhou happens to be free. You two can take your brother and call the girl to go out and play together. You can also create some opportunities for your brother."

Huang Yimei looked embarrassed: "Ah? Tomorrow, I have an appointment with Zhou Chen tomorrow to spend time alone."

Wu Yuejiang said dissatisfiedly: "You and Xiao Zhou have plenty of time. Now it is a big matter concerning your brother. As a sister, you must help him."

"Then, do I benefit?" Huang Yimei blinked.

Wu Yuejiang nodded her head: "You will negotiate with me. As long as you can handle your brother's matter, you can make any conditions you want."

"Thank you, Mom. I love you."

"Dad, Mom, I'm back. Are Meigui and the others back?"

Speaking of the devil, Huang Zhenhua heard the quarrel between the two in the study room as soon as he came back. Before he could figure out the situation, he was pulled into the kitchen by Huang Yimei. The mother and son discussed the travel plan for tomorrow.

Huang Zhenhua, who had learned from the previous experience, did not dare to compete with Zhou Chen in drinking that night.

What a fart.

Zhou Chen drank as much as he did that night, but Zhou Chen was fine and his mind was clear. As for him, he lost his composure after drinking and slept for more than ten hours before he sobered up.

This kind of embarrassing thing happened once, and it was enough. It must not happen again.

After dinner, when Huang Yimei sent Zhou Chen away, she talked about tomorrow's itinerary. They had already discussed and planned to go hiking tomorrow.

Zhou Chen naturally had no objection when he heard that Huang Yimei wanted to be a matchmaker. It seemed that Huang Zhenhua met his ideal white moonlight just like in the plot.

It was a pity that the fallen flowers had feelings, but the flowing water had no intention.

He knew that all Huang Zhenhua's preparations would be in vain, but such words were naturally impossible for him to say.

Anyway, it was all about playing, going hiking, or going somewhere else to play, it was the same for him.

He was more curious about what kind of interesting scenes would be triggered if Huang Zhenhua and Huang Yimei knew that he and Bai Xiaohe had also been on a blind date.

Although it was related to himself, he really felt that it seemed quite interesting to watch himself having fun.

The next morning, Zhou Chen drove to the family compound and then saw Huang Zhenhua, who was quite depressed.

Huang Yimei pulled Zhou Chen aside and whispered, "Don't drive later, take my brother's car."

Zhou Chen understood and said, "I understand. Today we are here to accompany your brother. We will do whatever he says."
