Chapter 344 Chen Yu Joins, Century-Old Ginseng

Zhou Chen described everything he wanted to do to Chen Yu in detail, focusing on Chen Yu's scope of work.

"Chen Yu, we are friends. I also see that you want a more challenging job. I think this job is very suitable for you, and you can rest assured that if this project is done well, I will have other projects for you later. Being responsible is definitely better than staying at the TV station as an editor."

Zhou Chen has very rich social experience. He knows very well that even if you do good things, you need to have a plan, otherwise troubles will follow one after another.

Let Chen Yu investigate and verify. Although he can no longer be regarded as a reporter, he is actually very similar.

If Chen Yu can do this well, it means that Chen Yu's ability is no problem and he can reuse it in the future.

In fact, Chen Yu had already made a decision before he came. As long as what Zhou Chen asked him to do met his conditions, he was ready to follow Zhou Chen.

Now that he heard Zhou Chen's explanation and knew the good deeds Zhou Chen wanted to do, he was naturally more satisfied.

"Zhou Chen, don't think about it. I've done this. When can I take up my post? I need time to arrange my current work."

Zhou Chen said: "You can take up the post at any time. I mean to put you in charge of the research department. However, because the project is still being started and has not been fully established, there is no working place yet. You can work at home, but only one or two In a few months, when everything is ready, you will officially take up the post, and the research department will also need you to recruit people. The specific number of people to recruit will depend on the situation."

"no problem."

Chen Yu was shocked. He knew that people like Zhou Chen would never act without aim. Since he was asked to be in charge of a department, there would be no lies.

And the thought of being able to do charity for society and help families with children with problems fills him with motivation.

This is much more motivating than being a news editor all the time.

"Very well, then you are welcome to join my team."

Zhou Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Chen Yu's hand.

"I will ask my secretary to complete the specific salary as soon as possible, and I will also ask her to contact you. The day you resign will be the day you officially take up the job."

"I'm not worried about the salary. I just like this job. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Opportunities must be grasped by someone. If you are not willing, I can't force you, right? So, you don't have to worry so much. I am different from the TV station. What I need is to seek truth from facts." , it’s truth, not deception, I believe you won’t let me down.”

Chen Yu assured: "Don't worry, I also hate cheating. This is why I am not happy at the TV station."

"I believe you can do it, Chen Yu."

After Zhou Chen separated from Chen Yu, he returned home and sent his information to Chen Yu so that Chen Yu could get familiar with it first.

Zhang Jing over there has already begun to work on the rehabilitation center. With sufficient funds, she acted very quickly.

Although he handed over the matter to Zhang Jing, Zhou Chen himself was not relaxed. When he encountered many problems that could not be solved, he still had to take action himself.

After Chen Yu received Zhou Chen's guarantee, he went home and told Zhong Xiaoqin the news.

Zhong Xiaoqin was in a particularly good mood recently because of her pregnancy, so she was not angry when she knew that Chen Yu was resigning.

On the contrary, she knew that Chen Yu would be working from home for a period of time after resigning, and she seemed very happy, which meant that Chen Yu finally had time to accompany her.

"Gu Jia, are you going out?"

Zhou Chen did not go to the company this morning. Instead, he went out in the afternoon to check out the newly acquired pharmaceutical factory. He was already preparing to start developing new drugs.

But what surprised him was that the elevator stopped at the twelfth floor, and then he saw Gu Jia walking in in formal attire.

"What a coincidence, are you planning to go out too?"

Gu Jia was also surprised to see Zhou Chen. They had not encountered each other since the last incident.

Zhou Chen said: "Yeah, I just acquired a pharmaceutical factory recently, and I'm going to have a look. Where are you going?"

When Gu Jia heard this, she was shocked. When she was thinking about how her company could tide over the difficulties, someone casually acquired a pharmaceutical factory. This was the gap.

"I'm going to a party."

Zhou Chen's eyes swept over her clothes and brand-name bag, and he recognized it as a Hermès brand-name bag.

So solemn, he must be attending an important party.

After thinking about it for a moment, he understood where Gu Jia was going. He must be following Mrs. Wang to attend the gathering of the wife's circle.

The wife circle can be said to be a unique part of this TV series. Although the screenwriter wanted to portray the life of rich wives, it was not actually successful.

The feeling of the wives' circle is not that of the upper class, but more close to the life of the city, where several housewives sit together and have their own affairs.

And it also describes the ladies in it too negatively.

You must know that there are several heads of family here who have been passed down for generations, but the result is this level?

Zhou Chen has never seen the real upper class in the real world, but after several worlds, especially in the last world, he has met many people from big families.

For families that have been truly wealthy for three generations, the success rate of their descendants is really extremely high.

The saying that wealth cannot last more than three generations is mostly due to the changes of the times. It does not necessarily mean that there will be prodigal sons. Wrong choices may also lead to the ruin of a family.

According to the descriptions of the family backgrounds of the wives in the circle of wives, I am afraid they are all from wealthy families with a family fortune of more than one billion, but many of those wives are unworthy of their virtues.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Gu Jia, a person whose total wealth is only a few tens of millions, how can he join the circle of wives with just a brand-name bag?

This is too baffling. Could it be that he is relying on the halo of the true protagonist?

What's even more funny in the end is that in order to drive Gu Jia away, they even teamed up to set up a tea factory to trick Gu Jia.

Damn, this is not about taking off your pants and farting, it’s unnecessary.

If you really don't want to take Gu Jiawan, just let her go. If you really don't want to take Gu Jiawan, will Gu Jia really beg for nothing?

With the size of Gu Jia's family, there is simply not enough space for them to play.

In short, in Zhou Chen's opinion, this circle of wives appeared inexplicably, and disappeared in the end for no reason. It seemed more like it appeared to set off the heroine Gu Jia.

These thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind. This was because he simply felt weird about the so-called wife circle.

"It's so formal. It doesn't look like an ordinary gathering, right?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.

Gu Jiadao: "These are gatherings of married women. A busy person like you will definitely not be interested."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Then I wish you a pleasant afternoon."

The two exchanged a few words, then the elevator reached the first floor, and they separated after walking out of the lobby of Grand Hyatt Mansion.

This is not the first time Zhou Chen has come to the pharmaceutical factory he just acquired, but he had just looked around briefly before. Today he came here to prepare for a serious inspection.

The pharmaceutical factory is located in the suburbs. It covers a large area and has hundreds of employees. Zhou Chen looked at it from beginning to end.

How should I put it, it is better than his minimum standard, but not great. If he wants to develop the new drug he wants, it will probably take some time to integrate it.

Zhou Chen's current identity is not a doctor, and he cannot study new drugs in the laboratory all day long, so he is going to find someone to help him get it.

Without further hesitation, he went directly to the Shanghai Medical University and found an old professor who said he was willing to support their research as long as they could help him develop a finished drug according to the prescription.

Under Zhou Chen's money offensive, the old professor and his team were quickly bribed, and they were just waiting for the pharmaceutical factory to get on track so they could start researching new drugs.

Zhou Chen spent the whole afternoon at the pharmaceutical factory, first making a tour, and then calling the heads of various departments of the pharmaceutical factory together for a meeting.

Wang Manni has prepared her clothes and is ready to travel on the cruise ship.

This trip was a reward from the company, and she was going on a one-week cruise.

Today was the day to set off, but she was a little hesitant at the moment because she thought of Zhou Chen again.

Since questioning Zhou Chen that time, she has not contacted Zhou Chen for a month, and Zhou Chen has also not contacted her, as if he has forgotten her.

Although she didn't say anything, she was still very unwilling in her heart, because Zhou Chen was the best man she had met in these years, and he matched all her fantasies.

It's a pity that Zhou Chen doesn't like her and doesn't want to be with her. He just wants to maintain the relationship of lovers.

If they were just lovers, she would have accepted it, but Zhou Chen didn't care about her at all and found another woman by her side, which she couldn't bear.

The company rewarded her this time with a regular cabin on the cruise ship. She was thinking that if she and Zhou Chen were still together now, Zhou Chen would definitely upgrade her to the best cabin without hesitation.

Thinking of Zhou Chen, she couldn't help but touch the necklace around her neck.

This was the first and last gift Zhou Chen gave her. It was very precious and worth a lot of money.

If she were cruel and sold it, with her ability, there would be absolutely no problem selling it for four to five million. After all, this is a limited edition.

But she was so vain that she couldn't bear to sell it, and she still had a vague thought in her heart. If she could renew her relationship with Zhou Chen in the future, the value of this necklace could not be measured by hundreds of thousands. Yes.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Manni finally did not let go of her obsession and contacted Zhou Chen. Instead, she packed her bags alone and headed to the cruise ship.

Gu Jia once again went to the activities of the wife circle. Although she was still a peripheral supporting role, she at least integrated into it. This is what she thought.

Although other people in Mrs. Yu's circle are also very wealthy, to her, there is only one most important person at the moment, and that is Mrs. Yu. She wants to obtain the qualification to operate fireworks at Mrs. Yu's paradise.

Mrs. Yu used to be just an 18th-tier starlet, but she was lucky enough to find a man who could be her father, and she suddenly became a wealthy wife that everyone envied.

In the past, Gu Jia really didn't think much of her, but now, for the sake of her family's business, she had to please Mrs. Yu.

It's just that Mrs. Yu is also a person who doesn't get into trouble. No matter what she says, she just won't let go.

Most of the content these wives talked about was something Gu Jia had never been exposed to before, but she listened patiently and learned.

Although she looked down on these so-called wives a little, she also knew that there was a lot worth learning from them.

In fact, she could also see that these wives were friendly on the surface, but in fact they looked down on each other and disliked each other. Sometimes they talked about each other without mercy.

Among this group of people, the most despised one is undoubtedly Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's family's family fortune is definitely at the top of this group of people, but her family belongs to the rich generation. In the eyes of these ladies, they belong to the nouveau riche.

Moreover, she is from out of town, not an out-and-out person from around the magic city, and has little education, so she is often looked down upon and ridiculed by, especially the dialects she speaks, which Mrs. Wang cannot understand at all, and even everyone laughs and ridicules She, she doesn't even know.

Mrs. Wang has actually not been in this circle of wives for too long. The reason why she brought Gu Jia in was definitely not because she admired Gu Jia, but because by bringing Gu Jia in, she would not be at the bottom of the contempt chain.

The ladies were also doing handiwork today, chatting while doing it.

"Mrs. Ma, why do you look a little bad today? What happened?"

Mrs. Liu was a fast-talking person. When she saw Mrs. Ma looking unhappy, she pretended to be concerned and asked.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Mrs. Ma, and then they found that Mrs. Ma's complexion was indeed different from before.

Facing everyone's gaze, Mrs. Ma sighed: "I have nothing to do, it's our old man who has something to do."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately put down her work and asked, "What's wrong with your old man? Is he sick?"

Her family and Mrs. Ma's family are family friends. Although Mrs. Ma's family is not as good as hers, the relationship between the two families is much closer than the others here.

Mrs. Ma said: "I have an old problem. I have a heart disease. I have had surgery a long time ago. I have been relying on medicine to maintain my condition over the years. But recently, my condition has become more serious. The doctor said that it takes more than a hundred years of old wild ginseng to cure it, but this How can century-old wild ginseng be so easy to obtain? Recently, my husband has been very worried and has been looking everywhere at home, but he can’t find it.”

Mrs. Liu said arrogantly and coquettishly: "Then this is a big deal. Your old man is your family's magic needle, so nothing can happen to him."

Mrs. Li frowned and said, "Last time I saw the old man, wasn't he in good health? Why is he so serious now?"

"When people get old, their bodies will have problems as soon as they tell them. Mrs. Li, your family has many connections. Do you know anyone who can get a hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"

Mrs. Ma is the most familiar with Mrs. Li. She knows that among all the ladies here, Mrs. Li's family is the most capable. If anyone here has the ability to get old wild ginseng, Mrs. Li's family is definitely the most promising.

Mrs. Li pondered: "Old wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old is in short supply. If you take out a complete ginseng, there will be people who want it for millions."

"Yes, but the problem is that now there is no market price. If we can really get it, our family will be willing to pay even 10 million."

Mrs. Ma naturally knows how valuable and rare the century-old wild ginseng is, otherwise it wouldn’t be rare to live in a family like theirs.

Mrs. Wang was surprised and asked: "Is century-old wild ginseng so precious that even if you have money, you can't buy it?"

In her opinion, there is nothing in this world that money cannot buy. If it cannot be bought, then money is not enough.

When the ladies present heard Mrs. Wang's words, they couldn't help rolling their eyes, and all of them cursed in their hearts.

Mrs. Li continued: "Century-old wild ginseng is very precious, but it should still be available. It's just that no one is willing to take out this life-saving medicinal material. Let me think about it."

"In this magical city, if anyone has the most medicinal materials, it must be the Zhou family behind the Huaxing Group."

Gu Jia was listening quietly. She couldn't help with this kind of thing, but when she suddenly heard the words Huaxing Group, her heart was shocked and her ears pricked up.
