Chapter 1316 Two-Person Trip, Frustrated Miss Wang
Li Li seemed to have been suppressed for a long time. After knowing Zhou Chen for more than half a year, Li Li completely let go of himself in front of Zhou Chen for the first time and showed himself in front of Zhou Chen without reservation.
Zhou Chen would naturally not let down Li Li's trust and let go. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to comforting her gently.
After a long time, calm returned to the room in the apartment.
Zhou Chen hugged Li Li, caressed her smooth and soft back, and whispered in her ear: "Do you regret letting me come up?"
Li Li understood what Zhou Chen meant and rolled his eyes at him.
"I didn't expect you to be so bold. You didn't even say a word when you came up and started taking advantage."
Zhou Chen lowered his head, gently touched Li Li's forehead with his forehead, and said, "I can't help it. Who makes you so charming? If I can really bear it, then I won't be a man."
Li Li squinted her eyes, enjoying Zhou Chen's intimacy. The madness just now was something she had never experienced before. She didn't expect that Zhou Chen, who had always been gentle and gentle, would change his normal behavior and become so wild.
Enjoying the tenderness at this time, after a while, she suddenly said: "Actually, my name is not Li Li. My real name is Chen Zhen. You must have known it for a long time."
Zhou Chen said: "Yes, one of the Eighteen Arhats under Mr. A, the fastest salesperson on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, suddenly transformed into the proprietress of the largest hotel on the Yellow River Road. I guess not many people will believe it."
"But you still can't hide it, can you?"
"I'm not like other people."
He is a person who knows the plot of this world and has the ability to foresee things. Indeed, no one knows the future development better than him.
"My past is not glorious, do you mind?"
Li Li raised his head and looked at Zhou Chen with sharp eyes, trying to see Zhou Chen's true thoughts.
Zhou Chen gently stroked her cheek and said softly: "If I mind, how can I provoke you? Everyone has a bad past. Maybe some people care about the past, but as for me, I am more What matters is the present and the future, because the past is immutable, but the present and the future can be changed.”
"Now you are Li Li to me, my Zhou Chen's woman. If you fall into my hands, you can no longer escape, now and in the future."
Li Li traced his fingers across Zhou Chen's chest, pressed his cheek against Zhou Chen's hand, and said with a charming face: "You are so domineering."
Zhou Chen said: "In this regard, I am so domineering. There is no need for negotiation. You are my woman, and you can only be my woman from now on. I will not abandon you, and you should never think of leaving me."
"Do you do this to every woman?"
"No, I only do this to women I care about."
Despite being so domineering, Li Li felt at ease and stayed closer to Zhou Chen.
"It feels good to have someone to rely on."
During this period of time, she was running Zhizhen Garden alone and had to deal with businessmen from all over the world. As an intermediary, she was interspersed among them. She used her brains, hands, drinking, and battles of wits and courage. It was really exhausting both physically and mentally.
But she can't stop yet. Once she stops, she may never have such a good opportunity and platform again.
Until she met Zhou Chen, the most relaxing moment for her in the past year was at Zhou Chen's home, and the most wild moment was just now. The same thing was that Zhou Chen was there.
She herself didn't expect to hand herself over to Zhou Chen so quickly, but she did it without any regrets.
"If you don't want to be so tired anymore, I can help you."
But Li Li shook his head resolutely and said: "If it is something else, I can accept it, but I must complete this debt myself. Only in this way can I completely let go of the past and only be your woman from now on. "
"Okay, it's up to you."
Zhou Chen didn't try to persuade her. Li Li was not the kind of weak woman who couldn't take care of herself. She had her own ideas and abilities, and she could execute them firmly, so he just had to follow her wishes and let her do it. This was Give her the greatest support, instead of just thinking about conquest and letting her depend on you.
Every woman has her own characteristics and personality. What he has to do is to identify their personality and use the right method to get along with her, instead of always being macho and overbearing.
Of course, for those women who have no independent opinions and weak personalities, machismo is the best way. The more domineering you are, the more attractive they will find you.
Zhou Chen didn't come home all night, and the two slept hugging each other. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Zhou Chen and Li Li had an affair again, and then he called Wang Yuan to pick them up.
Zhizhen Garden at noon is not as busy as at night, so even if Li Li doesn't go, Manager Pan can still stabilize the situation.
In the private room of the Dynasty Hotel on Zhapu Road, Zhou Chen asked Li Li: "How does the food here compare to your Zhizhenyuan?"
Li Li picked up the dishes elegantly and said, "I should be the one to ask you this. After all, I am the proprietress and you are the guest. The guest has the final say as to how it tastes."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Each one has its own merits. The taste here is slightly better, but the atmosphere in Zizhenyuan is still better."
Li Li just smiled after hearing this. For her, being an intermediary, promoting business, and making money are the first priorities in Zhizhenyuan. She really doesn't pursue taste too much.
Suddenly, Li Li's pager rang a few times. She picked it up and looked at it, then put it down.
"Is there something going on at the hotel?"
"Not a hotel."
"Is that the group from Shenzhen City, Qiang Mujie?"
Li Li said in surprise: "You know everything, that's right, you even know my identity, it's not surprising that you know Qiang Mujie and Nan Guotou, it's really Qiang who called me."
Zhou Chen snorted: "These people came to Shanghai, it seems that they are preparing to make a fortune in the stock market again, but the current Shanghai stock market is different from a few years ago, it is no longer a leek that can be slaughtered at will."
The current Shanghai stock market has Qilin Club in front and A Bao's stock fleet in the back, as well as capital from all over the country. Although Nan Guotou is not weak in strength, it is really not that easy to do whatever it wants here and cover the sky with one hand.
"Are you going to make a move?" Li Li asked.
"No, I don't have that intention. I play stocks, unless it is my own listed company, I don't like to be a banker. You can say that I am hypocritical, but I really don't like to be a banker and cut retail investors' leeks. I don't lack money, why do this kind of thing?"
Li Li looked at Zhou Chen with a strange look. Although Zhou Chen also plays stocks, he is obviously different from Mr. A, whom she admires the most.
Mr. A's stock trading is a good thing, and he is ambitious and ambitious. To put it bluntly, he is only interested in profit. He has no sense of friendship or reason in order to make money.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, is capable, but he is lazy all day long, as if he doesn't care about making money at all. He has money, power, and vision, but he actually said that he doesn't want to be a banker and cut retail investors' leeks. This concept is completely different from Mr. A.
If it were before, she would definitely agree with Mr. A's idea, but after Mr. A's stock market crash, she knew the horror of the stock market, so now when she heard that Zhou Chen was not interested in the stock market, she felt inexplicably peaceful.
She didn't want to live the exciting life she had in the past. Instead, Zhou Chen's life made her feel stable and peaceful. Perhaps it was Zhou Chen's indifferent and peaceful mentality that deeply attracted her.
Drinking tea, reading newspapers, painting wood carvings, and basking in the sun every day is also a very beautiful life.
"I'll accompany you when I finish all this." Li Li blurted out.
Zhou Chen smiled at her: "Okay, then I will accompany you first."
A few days passed in a flash. Zhou Chen did not go to Huanghe Road these days, but Li Li would come to Zhou Chen's old house every day to spend the night with Zhou Chen.
Since that night, Li Li has never made their relationship public in front of outsiders, but now she has completely accepted her identity as Zhou Chen's woman. Whenever she is free, she will basically come to see Zhou Chen.
In the past, she needed to drink alcohol to numb herself every night to sleep peacefully, but sleeping next to Zhou Chen, she felt very safe and could fall asleep quickly.
On this day, another teaching building was built. Because it was donated by him, he naturally needed to show up when it was built.
Accompanying a group of city and school leaders to take pictures and talk, Zhou Chen's face was stiff with laughter after a day.
As soon as he got home, Zhu Mei told him.
"Sir, a call just came in looking for you. She left her name as Miss Wang. She said she would call back later."
"Oh, I see. When the call comes, go to the study and call me."
"Yes."
Before dinner, Wang Mingzhu called again. After a while, Zhou Chen got dressed and asked Wang Yuan to drive him out.
It was still the small restaurant with pork ribs and rice cakes. This was also the place where they met most often.
Wang Mingzhu was a straightforward person. As soon as Zhou Chen sat down and hadn't eaten a bite, she got straight to the point.
"I've made up my mind, Mr. Zhou. I'm willing to be your partner, but as you said, you're only responsible for the investment, and I'll take care of everything else. You can't let anyone know that I'm your partner. We'll each own half of the shares. What do you think?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I have no objection to what you said before, but in the end, if we each own half of the shares, then we won't have absolute control. If we disagree in the future, who should we listen to?"
Wang Mingzhu said, "Then let's discuss it. Whoever makes sense will be listened to."
Zhou Chen said, "This is a company. The purpose of starting a company is to make money. It's not that whoever is right can make money. Also, I'm investing in you. If we each own half of the shares, it's like I'm starting a company myself, so this won't work."
Wang Mingzhu hesitated. In fact, she felt that Zhou Chen paid the money and she worked hard, and each owning half was basically taking advantage of her.
"Then what do you say we should do?"
"It's very simple. You own 51% and I own 49%. How the company develops and how it operates is up to you. Unless you make a major decision-making mistake, I won't comment."
"But you pay money, but your shares are less than mine. That's unreasonable. Money is more valuable than manpower."
"That depends on the situation. It's decided. It's best if you own more shares than me. Next, tell me where you plan to open the company..."
Seeing Zhou Chen's firm attitude, Wang Mingzhu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally said nothing, and then talked about her plan.
"I plan to hold an investment promotion meeting first, right at Zhizhenyuan on Huanghe Road..."
Zhou Chen listened carefully to Wang Mingzhu's narration. It was the same as in the plot. Although Wang Mingzhu suffered a big loss in Jin Meilin, she had not really recognized the reality. She still thought that she had been on Huanghe Road for many years and still had some face, so she thought about holding an investment promotion meeting on Huanghe Road.
But he didn't stop it. Without real experience, Wang Mingzhu would not grow up, so it was good for her to suffer a little.
"What do you think?"
Wang Mingzhu said a lot in one breath, and then looked at Zhou Chen with expectation.
Zhou Chen replied expressionlessly: "I can do anything, just do as you say."
Wang Mingzhu thought Zhou Chen supported her, so she became more confident. She started to take action the next day to build momentum for her investment promotion conference, sent invitations to many people, and went to find her master.
Wang Mingzhu's master, Section Chief Jin on the 27th, flipped through the brochure that Wang Mingzhu gave her.
Wang Mingzhu boasted to Section Chief Jin that when she called, those people were very polite and optimistic about her, and said that they would come to support her at that time, and said that their parents also supported her very much, etc.
Section Chief Jin listened carefully, and only put down the brochure of the investment promotion conference in his hand after Wang Mingzhu finished her chattering.
"People outside are just here to watch the fun. They can talk about anything once they open their mouths. But you have to know how much Miss Wang, who left No. 27 The Bund, has done."
"I know that, so I was a little worried before I called, fearing that they would feel that they would offend the foreign trade company and would be embarrassed to come. But I didn't expect that these people were very enthusiastic and optimistic about me. They said that flowers bloom inside the wall and are fragrant outside the wall. Even if I am out now, this relationship is still affiliated with the foreign trade company, which is equivalent to serving the foreign trade company."
As she said this, she saw that her master had no expression, and her voice suddenly became smaller.
Section Chief Jin stirred the coffee and said slowly: "In this case, there is still flexibility without the funds of the foreign trade company. Someone asked you who to start a company with?"
Wang Mingzhu's eyes flashed, and she said: "I told them that I was the only one doing it."
Section Chief Jin had been with Wang Mingzhu for several years, and he saw her strangeness at a glance.
"So, you are not doing it alone, who are you partnering with?"
Wang Mingzhu hesitated, not knowing whether to say it.
"What? Is there anything you can't tell me? Do you think I will hurt you?"
"No, Master, I am indeed in partnership with someone, but we agreed in advance that he will be responsible for providing funds, and I will take care of everything in the company. To the outside world, it is said that it is my own company."
Section Chief Jin immediately understood something: "So, your partner is not simple?"
Wang Mingzhu finally gritted her teeth and replied: "It's Mr. Zhou."
"Zhou Chen from Chenxing Venture Capital?"
Section Chief Jin's expression changed immediately. She never expected that Wang Mingzhu's partner would be Zhou Chen.
"Well, I am in partnership with him, but not in the name of Chenxing Venture Capital, but in his personal name. I own 51% of the company's shares, and I am responsible for the operation of the company. He is only responsible for providing funds and does not show up."
Section Chief Jin was really surprised: "Are you familiar with Zhou Chen? He is an investor. Will he give you such good conditions and let you own more shares?"
"Of course, Master, Zhou Chen is really a good person. Others say that I rely on Mr. Bao, but he is simply interested in my personal ability. He invests in me and partners with me because he sees that I have the ability. I can see that he is sincere in opening a company with me."
For Wang Mingzhu, Zhou Chen not only said money to him, but also recognition and encouragement.
Section Chief Jin is not familiar with Zhou Chen, but he has heard a lot about his deeds. Zhou Chen's investment in Wang Mingzhu should not have any traps. At most, he may be looking for Wang Mingzhu, but this is just a possibility.
However, if Wang Mingzhu were to partner with Zhou Chen, she would be relieved. After all, Zhou Chen was a successful businessman and more powerful than Mr. Bao. Even if he said he would not participate in management, he would definitely be able to help Wang Mingzhu if there was any problem.
"Since you are cooperating with Mr. Zhou, I won't ask you anything else. Where is your investment promotion banquet scheduled?"
Wang Mingzhu took out the invitation and handed it to Section Chief Jin.
"Huanghe Road, Zhizhen Garden."
On the day of the investment promotion meeting, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Chen came to Huanghe Road and walked into Zhizhen Garden at the invitation of Manager Pan.
At the entrance of Zhizhen Garden, he saw the billboard of Wang Mingzhu's investment promotion meeting. When he entered Zhizhen Garden, he also saw Wang Mingzhu who was preparing, and Wang Mingzhu also saw him.
But he did not walk over, but just nodded at Wang Mingzhu and took the elevator upstairs.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Li Li standing at the elevator entrance waiting.
"Why are you here so early today?"
"I heard there's something exciting going on today, so I came early."
Zhou Chen walked out of the elevator and walked into the private room with Li Li.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Just cook a few dishes for me, it's a waste if there's more."
Li Li smiled gently. They are so close now that there's no need to be so formal. There's no such thing as a minimum consumption for a private room.
"Okay, I'll have someone do it."
Li Li found a waiter and gave him a few instructions, then walked back to talk to Zhou Chen.
"Today, Miss Wang is holding an investment promotion meeting here. We gave her a private room, but she thinks it's not enough, so she wants three from us. Do you think Miss Wang can do it?"
Zhou Chen didn't answer, but asked, "What do you think?"
Li Li smiled, but didn't give an answer, but her expression was the answer.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Manager Pan came up to report to Li Li about Miss Wang's investment promotion meeting downstairs.
"Madam Boss, no one has come to Miss Wang's place yet. Fortunately, there is only one private room reserved today. If no one comes later, how about I let them out first?"
Li Li said without hesitation: "Keep it, the face must be given to Miss Wang."
After Manager Pan left, Li Li said to Zhou Chen: "Miss Wang seems to be in trouble. Do you want to go to the hero to save the beauty again?"
Zhou Chen brought some food to Li Li: "Eat some, until you're half full. You won't get drunk easily if you drink later."
"As for Miss Wang's investment fair, she probably doesn't want me to go, so I won't join in the fun."
This answer made Li Li quite satisfied, but she immediately expressed emotion.
"This is the reality on the Yellow River Road. Miss Wang is a nice person, but she is still a bit naive after all. Miss Wang at No. 27 on the Bund and Miss Wang are two different concepts. After today, she should be able to clearly understand that for her now It may be cruel to say it, but in the long run, it may not be a good thing.”
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Do you understand?"
"They all make a living on the Yellow River Road. I understand Miss Wang and I sincerely wish her success."
"I hope so."
Wang Mingzhu in the TV series is successful, but in fact, her success is not just based on herself.
Finally, at around seven o'clock, only two people came to Wang Mingzhu's investment meeting, one was Mr. Fan from Sanyang brand, and the other was Mr. Wei, the second-generation fur rich.
Zhou Chen stood on the second floor, looking downstairs.
At the gate of Zhizhen Garden, Wei Hongqing was saying something to Wang Mingzhu with a decadent look on his face.
Wang Mingzhu was hit hard today, and she couldn't bear it when she saw Wei Hongqing's appearance. However, thinking that she already had a partner, she naturally no longer thought of partnering with Wei Hongqing.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I know your good intentions, but let's just do business together. I already have a partner, so it's impossible for us to do business together."
When Wei Hongqing heard this, he didn't believe it at all: "How is it possible, Miss Wang? I know you are lying to me. If you already have a partner, why didn't he show up today? Even if he did, he didn't show up at this time. It means He doesn't care about you at all. What's the point of cooperating with such a person? Why not cooperate with me? Although I don't have money now, but..."
But before he finished speaking, Wang Mingzhu interrupted: "Who said he didn't come today? He came, but you didn't see it. Mr. Wei, I am very grateful for your help today, but my partner is not That’s what you think, so please don’t say bad things about him. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Zhou Chen came today, but according to their agreement, Zhou Chen could not come out to support her. Although it was difficult for her to say it, she could not see Wei Hongqing say bad things about Zhou Chen.
Li Li walked to Zhou Chen's side and saw Wang Mingzhu and Wei Hongqing parting ways downstairs.
"It seems that Mr. Wei is eager to pick new people. In fact, if he has a certain amount of financial resources, it may not be impossible for Ms. Wang to cooperate with him. Unfortunately, Mr. Wei is just Mr. Wei after all, and all the economic power is controlled by his father. "
Zhou Chen suddenly asked: "Do you think Miss Wang can succeed?"
Li Li pondered: "It's hard to say. If I have to give an answer, I think yes. I heard that Section Chief Jin of the foreign trade company is her master."
Zhou Chen nodded and understood what she meant. Miss Wang may not be able to do it herself, but it still matters. As long as it works well, the chance of success is still very high.
The hasty end of this investment fair was a blow to Wang Mingzhu, but it actually aroused his fighting spirit.
The next day, she found Zhou Chen again, saying that she wanted to open the company directly, and determined an office location, and asked Zhou Chen to help come up with ideas.
