Chapter 370 Dinner with Gu Jia

After Gu Jia divorced, she put more energy on her son Xu Ziyan and his work. Under her leadership, Chen Xing slowly prospered again.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

A lot of things have happened in the past month or so, many of which have nothing to do with Zhou Chen, but there are also many things related to Zhou Chen.

Gu Jia still works in Chenxing Rehabilitation Institute as always, and has become more serious and responsible, as if she has fully integrated into this big family.

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't have much time before she gave birth, so Chen Yu asked Zhou Chen specifically, hoping to reduce the number of business trips.

Zhou Chen naturally didn't have any objections, instead he gave him some guidance. Now you are the boss of the research department, how can the boss be the first to rush to go on a business trip every day? The boss of the department is more about adjusting the department and managing the department well personnel……

Zhou Chen's words made Chen Yu wake up like a dream. The reason why he was the first to take the lead in doing things before was mainly because he didn't realize the problem and didn't face up to his identity.

The other of the three girlfriends, Wang Manni, didn't make it through, and finally left Shanghai and returned to her hometown.

Since that time, Zhou Chen and Wang Manni haven't seen each other again, and naturally he doesn't know about Wang Manni's news.

During this period of time, what pleased Zhou Chen the most was undoubtedly the new drug released by his pharmaceutical factory. It received a lot of praise, and it has already caused discussions in the circle, and the sales volume is also slowly increasing.

Zhou Chen was quite surprised by this speed. He thought that he would have to wait a year or two before new medicines would accumulate and release. He didn't expect that in less than three months, the first wave of outbreaks had already ushered in.

It is foreseeable that this new drug will make his pharmaceutical factory famous very soon, and getting rich overnight is not a dream.

As for Liang Zhengxian who once tripped him up, he has not forgotten that a big net has been slowly unfolded towards Liang Zhengxian, and what is waiting now is to close the net, and Liang Zhengxian will definitely be surprised when the time comes.

And lots of other trifles...

For example, Linda sent him several messages during this period, which can no longer be said to be hints, but explicit.

But he really didn't want to continue with Linda, and he was very busy recently, so he didn't reply once.

"Husband, I went for an examination today. The doctor said that the child is developing very well. Do you think I should check the gender?"

Zhao Jingyu held Zhou Chen's arm and asked expectantly.

Zhou Chen said: "For me, men and women are the same. If you want to check, you can also check it. It's okay to confirm."

For him, there is no difference between boys and girls, and he does not favor boys over girls.

He has no feelings for Zhao Jingyu, but he still attaches great importance to his child who is about to be born.

Zhao Jingyu said nervously, "It would be nice if it was a boy."

Ever since she met Mr. Zhou, she has been looking forward to conceiving a boy, because once it is a boy, it will be the eldest son of the next generation of the Zhou family, and he will be able to bring him up by his side.

Maybe he may not be able to become the eldest son and inherit the Zhou family business, but he will definitely have a place in the Zhou family. At the worst, he will be able to live a prosperous and wealthy life, and even with her mother, he can also be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime.

Zhou Chen smiled and did not speak. Patriarchy is a thought that has been passed down for thousands of years in China, and it is only in the last hundred years that men and women have been continuously advocated for equality.

But in fact, in most places, especially the poorer and more remote places, this phenomenon is getting worse. There are also big families with big businesses. They may not be patriarchal, but they definitely hope to have a son to inherit family business.

Not to mention others, let's take Zhou Chen himself as an example. He really doesn't favor boys over girls, and even likes girls a little more.

But if he really wants to distribute the family property, he will definitely leave most of the family property to his son, for nothing else, just because his son's future children will have his surname.

On this day, Zhou Chen and Gu Jia went to the urban area to communicate with people from other rehabilitation institutions, and they didn't rush back until evening.

"Gu Jia, I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to have dinner with me?"

Zhou Chen was driving the car and asked Gu Jia, the co-pilot, since Gu Jia's divorce, this was the fifth time he had invited Gu Jia, and Gu Jia had rejected her the previous few times.

Seeing that Gu Jia was about to speak, he hurriedly said first: "Gu Jia, you have rejected me several times, at least you should agree to it once, I promise it's just a simple meal, not a date."

Gu Jia smiled wryly: "Zhou Chen, I'm just a single mother with a child now, why are you still so persistent? I don't deserve you."

"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me."

Zhou Chen didn't care, and said with a smile: "When you were not divorced before, I really didn't have any ideas, but now that you are alone, I have the opportunity to pursue you. Will you agree? It's your business, whether to pursue it or not is my business."

Gu Jia said helplessly: "I don't think about these things at all now. I just want to take Ziyan well, work hard, and I don't have extravagant expectations for emotional matters."

"It's tiring to raise a child by yourself. Ziyan is a good child, but a single-parent family is really not conducive to children's growth."

Gu Jia: "Single-parent families are indeed not conducive to children's growth, but I don't want Ziyan to live in a complicated family."

She didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was very obvious. She didn't want Ziyan to have a stepdad, at least not for the time being.

Zhou Chen asked: "Are you still thinking about Xu Huanshan? If so, just pretend that I didn't say anything before. I respect your choice."

"Do not."

Without any hesitation, Gu Jia said directly and affirmatively: "I will not forgive a man who betrayed me and his family, not now, nor in the future."

She does have old feelings for Xu Huanshan, but she has buried this feeling in her heart. In the short term, she will never want to have anything to do with Xu Huanshan again.

"Then treat me as the boss and treat you, a great hero, to a meal. You won't refuse, will you?"

"That, all right."

Gu Jia finally agreed.

"Great."

Zhou Chen showed a happy expression. After such a long time, he finally took the first step.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, no matter what happens in the future, since he can set a precedent, then he will have the opportunity to widen the gap in the future.

"I know that there is a restaurant with a very good environment. Do you want to go to the private room or the lobby?"

"Let's go to the lobby."

Gu Jia didn't dare to go to the private room. Although she felt that Zhou Chen would not force anything to happen to her, she would always feel awkward in the same room with a lonely man and a widow.

The reason why I agreed this time was because Zhou Chen had turned over several invitations in a row, and his attitude was very sincere and he respected her a lot.

It would be a lie to say that there is no heartbeat at all. After all, Zhou Chen is so outstanding, even when she was not married, she couldn't climb high, let alone a single mother now.

Furthermore, although she didn't think about getting involved in a new relationship so soon, if Zhou Chen could really persist after she refused many times, she might really consider it.

She knew very well in her heart that if she could really be with Zhou Chen, it would definitely be extremely beneficial to her and Xu Ziyan, and her son's future would certainly be limitless.

"it is good."

For Zhou Chen, the lobby and the private room are the same, and he was not prepared to take Gu Jia down for the first time, which is unrealistic.

Zhou Chen drove Gu Jia to a well-decorated music restaurant.

"I have been to this restaurant twice. The food is not bad, and the atmosphere is not bad. I can show you my skills later."

Naturally, the purpose of coming to the music restaurant is to make fun of Gu Jia, and he is best at all kinds of musical instruments. Most women will like talented men.

Gu Jia was indeed attracted, and asked Zhou Chen in surprise, "Do you know how to play musical instruments?"

"Why, I know how to play an instrument, are you surprised?"

"That's not it. With your background, it's normal for you to know how to play a musical instrument. I just feel, why do you seem to know everything? I've known you for so long, and I haven't seen anything that makes you stretched."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Then you really think too highly of me, there are too many things I don't know, at least I don't know how to give birth."

Gu Jia was immediately amused by Zhou Chen.

"Yes, you should smile like this. For such a long time, it's the first time I've seen you smiling so happily."

Zhou Chen seemed to be amazed by Gu Jia's smile, and said involuntarily.

Gu Jia couldn't help but rolled her eyes. In Zhou Chen's eyes, it was really charming. This was the first time he saw Gu Jia make such an expression towards him.

"Let's go, I'm still waiting for you to show me your hands."

"Let's go then."

Zhou Chen took Gu Jia into a music restaurant called 'Taoyuan'. The location of this music restaurant is relatively secluded, and it feels like a paradise, but he doesn't know if the name of this restaurant means this. up.

Because it was night, there were already a lot of people sitting in the restaurant. Zhou Chen and Gu Jia, led by the waiter, came to a seat that was relatively close to the piano stage.

After asking Gu Jia's opinion, Zhou Chen quickly ordered a few dishes.

After the food was served, Zhou Chen took the initiative to say: "Speaking of which, this is the first time we have eaten alone together. I am really happy tonight."

Gu Jia smiled and didn't answer. She didn't know how to respond. Before the divorce, she was a rational person. Now that she is divorced, the pressure is even greater, and she has become more rational.

"Their family's fish is very good. You can try it later."

The two ate leisurely. Gu Jia didn't want to order wine at first, but Zhou Chen still ordered a bottle of red wine and poured a glass each.

Most of the time, it was Zhou Chen who was talking, and Gu Jia would respond with a few sentences from time to time. When she talked about topics she was interested in, she became more cheerful and talked more.

Gu Jia didn't want to drink at first, but she couldn't help drinking while talking to Zhou Chen.

The main reason is that she divorced not long ago. Although she has not shown any emotions on the surface, she is still very uncomfortable in her heart, but she can't vent it usually.

Only Zhou Chen knew her here, and Zhou Chen was still very familiar with her, so she slowly let go of her guard and started drinking with Zhou Chen.

"Didn't you say you were going to show off your hands?"

After drinking for three rounds, Gu Jia stroked her hair and asked Zhou Chen.

Looking at Gu Jia, who was blushing, with her long straight hair and exquisite facial features, Zhou Chen was very moved.

"Of course, after he finishes playing, I'll show you my hands."

At the moment, the pianist in the hotel is playing, so it is naturally impossible for Zhou Chen to interrupt halfway.

After a few minutes, he got up and went to the piano stage, where he laughed and discussed with the pianist.

Naturally, the music restaurant would not object to guests playing the piano, especially since there are quite a few people here, it would be a real shame if they played on stage without two brushes.

Since Zhou Chen dared to come up, it meant he was confident, so the pianist quickly handed over the piano to Zhou Chen.

He has done this kind of thing more than once to play the piano for a woman, but this time it is different, he is facing a single mother with a child.

Before he came, he had already thought about the piece he wanted to play, so it didn't take long for him to play it briskly with both hands.

"Ding…………"

The clear sound of the piano sounded. At the beginning, no one noticed that the pianist had changed, but it didn't take long for someone to hear that there was something wrong with the pianist.

This is a sad song. It tells a sad love story. It was learned by Zhou Chen from other film and television worlds. It is not top-notch, but it is definitely very lethal for Gu Jia at this time.

After a piece of music was over, there were scattered applause in the restaurant, and Zhou Chen didn't care, but continued to play, but changed another piece of music.

This time it is no longer a sad piano piece, but a brisk piano piece. Even a novice who doesn't play the piano can hear that this is a piece full of joy.

The two completely different pieces naturally attracted more attention.

Gu Jia rested her chin on her right hand, and looked at Zhou Chen who was playing with blurred eyes. She didn't know whether it was because of the strength of alcohol or what was going on. Zhou Chen in front of her eyes slowly changed her figure, as if she had become Xu Huan. Mountain.

And her thoughts were slowly immersed in the memories of the past, and she didn't fully recover until the cheerful piano music ended.

"How was my talk?"

Looking at Zhou Chen who had already returned to his seat, Gu Jia said, "It's very nice to listen to. One is sad and the other is happy. It should describe two different love stories, right?"

"Excellent, you can hear it all."

Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up: "You are right, these two songs are indeed adapted from two different love stories."

Gu Jia asked curiously: "What kind of love story can you tell me?"

"of course."

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't refuse, and Gu Jia also listened attentively.

"The first song is sad, which naturally means that this is a sad love story. It is about a young couple. Happiness and unhappiness happened between them..."
