But there's nothing we can do about it, because of her status. She sounds nice, saying she's a middle-level manager in the company, but in fact, it's not indispensable.
So even though she knew that the man in front of her was an incompetent guy with nothing but good looks, she could only smile and talk to him nicely.
"Manager He is very straightforward and quick-witted."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was unmoved, her eyes moved. For some reason, she felt that He Fei today was different from before.
"Manager He, have you heard that Director Ma of our sales department is going to be promoted to vice president?"
"Is Lao Ma going to be promoted to vice president?"
Zhou Chen had some impression of Director Ma of the Sales Department. He was a company executive with outstanding abilities and also a veteran. It was not surprising that he was promoted to Vice President.
"Sister Gu has set her eyes on Director Ma's position?"
Gu Xueying smiled and said, "Manager He, I won't play tricks on you. I do have an idea, but this position is not so easy to get. I don't know how many people in the company are eyeing it. I am alone and weak, so I came to ask Manager He for help."
Zhou Chen shook his head and evaded the question, "Sister Gu, you are joking. You are not alone and powerless. I am the one who is alone and powerless. I understand why Sister Gu came to me. But I can only say that Sister Gu, you have found the wrong person. I am just a marginal figure. Even if I am Mu Zi's husband, we never talk about work at home. This is the bottom line, so I really can't help Sister Gu. I'm sorry."
Of course Gu Xueying would not take it seriously. Li Muzi is the company's largest shareholder and has a veto power. Although she does not directly manage the company, her words are definitely useful. And Zhou Chen is Li Muzi's husband. If Zhou Chen says a few good words for her, the effect will definitely be great.
She felt that Zhou Chen was shirking his responsibility because he just didn't want to do it.
"Manager He, if you help me this time, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I have a lot of resources. I will introduce a few big clients to you and you will definitely get a commission."
Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, it seemed that the original body’s reputation was really bad, and people were so unreserved to bribe him in front of him.
"Sister Gu, there's no need to worry. To be honest, I'm afraid I won't come back to work again."
Gu Xueying was stunned: "Ah? You're quitting? Why?"
Zhou Chen replied: "Because I figured it out. My wife is the boss of the company. Why should I work so hard every day? I just hang out and sit here every day anyway. Isn't it better to enjoy life at home?"
"Uh."
Gu Xueying was speechless. Can the class you work in be considered hard?
"Manager He, it's fine if you want to enjoy life, but is it really good for a man not to have his own career?"
They were just short of pointing at Zhou Chen's nose and calling him a gigolo.
"hehe."
Zhou Chen smiled sarcastically: "Sister Gu, men can not only conquer women by conquering the world, but also conquer the world by conquering women. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Gu Xueying: ...That makes so much sense...
"Are you really not going to do this anymore?"
"Yes, I chose to lie down."
Gu Xueying left with a complicated expression. She had wanted to find external aid, but she failed to find it and was about to lose another "general". Her mood was extremely complicated.
Gu Xueying's purpose made Zhou Chen more certain that his choice was correct. If he continued to do this in the future, things like this would be inevitable, so the best thing to do was to leave early.
He typed a letter of resignation and sent it directly to the Human Resources Department. Then he just picked up the photo of him and Li Muzi on the table and left the office.
Seeing Zhou Chen just left during working hours, no one in the sales department found it strange. This was a routine operation, and even the boss of the sales department would not ask about it.
But after a while, they found out that Zhou Chen had resigned. There was no cheering or warm farewell. Most people felt melancholy.
Look at the people in this class, they can come and go as they please. What's more important is that even if they quit their job, they can still hug their wives when they go home, while they can only continue to work with a miserable attitude.
When Zhou Chen returned home, he saw Li Muzi visiting the things she brought back from Balandia, wiping them carefully and placing them.
"Honey, you're back. I just received a call from CEO Lu, saying that you handed in your resignation letter. Are you really not going to continue working?"
Li Muzi put down the rag in his hand and asked in surprise.
Although Zhou Chen had told her about this when they were in Balandia before, she didn't expect Zhou Chen to act so quickly. He quit his job just two days after returning.
Zhou Chen walked over, took out a wet tissue, and gently wiped Li Muzi's hands.
"Yes, didn't I tell you that instead of sitting around at work, I might as well spend this time with you. I also want to learn painting from you. When your belly gets bigger and you have trouble moving, I will be responsible for taking care of you."
Li Muzi was very touched and said, "Hubby, you are so kind. I was just afraid that I would be bored if you were with me every day."
"How can it be boring to be with the one you love?"
For Zhou Chen, working at Xingchuan Group was truly boring. Accompanying Li Muzi in painting and reading every day was very cozy and pleasant, and he was not bored at all.
Besides, just because he doesn’t go to work doesn’t mean he doesn’t do other things.
"Well, if you can't do it, then don't do it."
Li Muzi actually didn't care much about whether Zhou Chen went to work at Xingchuan Group or not. She had asked him to go before just to take care of him from a different perspective. Now that Zhou Chen himself didn't want to go, then he didn't have to go.
After lunch, Zhou Chen took Li Muzi for a walk on the lawn outside the villa.
"Honey, I'm going to go to the antique market in the HP area this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"
"Are you going to sell that Yuanqing flower plum vase?"
"No, I haven't finished the bottle yet. Besides, it's not easy to sell something so good. I plan to check out the market first and learn more about it."
"Oh, then I won't go. I want to rest at home."
Li Muzi refused to go with them. She had been in Balandia for nearly a month. She was now two months pregnant and had started to have reactions, so she didn't want to travel far.
Zhou Chen asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, I'm just a little tired. Maybe I haven't fully recovered from traveling for so many days. Don't worry about me."
"Then you should have a good rest. When I come back, I will buy you some supplements for pregnant women. Although you can't take a lot of supplements in the early stages of pregnancy, you can't skip them either."
Li Muzi tilted her head and looked at Zhou Chen curiously: "Husband, why do I feel like you know more than me?"
"Of course. I've read a lot of pregnancy tips and knowledge these days. I said I'd take care of you, so I have to keep my word."
Li Muzi was so moved that she hugged Zhou Chen's arms tightly, leaned against Zhou Chen with a happy face, and enjoyed the midday sunshine.
When he got to work in the afternoon, he received a payment information. Although he only worked a few days this month, the finance department still paid him the full salary.
Of course Zhou Chen wouldn't pretend to be polite. Do you understand what paid leave means?
After Li Muzi went to bed, Zhou Chen drove alone to the Chenghuang Temple Antique Market in HP District, and first went to the antique market in the basement of Huabao Building.
As one of the largest first-tier cities in China, Shanghai has many antique markets, which have become more and more formalized after years of development.
As he entered the antique market, Zhou Chen felt like a fish in water, scanning the market with his sharp eyes.
Although Cary had tens of thousands of dollars, he did not make any purchases casually. As a veteran collector, he was not interested in ordinary things.
After shopping for an entire afternoon, Zhou Chen didn't buy anything. It wasn't because there weren't any genuine items, but mainly because he didn't like them. He came here with the idea of finding a bargain.
After strolling around for so long, he also chatted with many people in the market. He learned that the antique market nearby is still the busiest on Saturdays and Sundays. Many people come to set up stalls with old things during these two days.
It was almost time for dinner, and Zhou Chen received a call from Li Muzi. So he didn't walk around any longer and drove back directly.
In the evening, Zhou Chen hugged Li Muzi, leaned against the head of the bed, and started the class.
Serious painting lessons.
In order to teach Zhou Chen how to paint, Li Muzi specially prepared a lesson plan in the afternoon. Since Zhou Chen basically had no basic knowledge, he had to teach from scratch.
Li Muzi is a very patient person, and Zhou Chen is now a top student who can draw inferences from what he has learned, so with one teaching and the other learning, the effect of learning theory is surprisingly good.
In the next two days, Zhou Chen would learn painting with Li Muzi in the morning and evening, and go to the antique market in the afternoon.
Teaching Zhou Chen to paint obviously aroused Li Muzi's strong interest. He prepared lessons and taught very seriously every day. Especially when he saw Zhou Chen's continuous progress, he felt a sense of accomplishment and taught even harder.
In her words, the sooner Zhou Chen learns to become a master, the sooner he can discuss things with her. She likes her husband to be able to improve and discuss things with her in the areas where she is best.
After visiting the antique market for a few days, Zhou Chen bought two small items, a square inkstone from the Ming Dynasty and another from the Qing Dynasty.
That evening, after Zhou Chen and Li Muzi had dinner, they walked out of the community arm in arm and strolled along the roadside.
"Honey, there's an art exhibition in Baoshan in the middle of this month. Let's go see it together."
"Okay, I haven't been to an art exhibition yet, so you'll have to introduce it to me when the time comes."
"Well, actually, visiting art exhibitions can greatly promote your learning of painting. Honey, I think you are very talented. Even if you started learning late, you may have the potential to become a master."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Wife, you really think highly of your husband."
He learned painting from Li Muzi, on the one hand to communicate and get along better with Li Muzi, and on the other hand he also wanted to learn the skills of painting.
It is always good to have many skills, and painting itself is a very practical skill.
The two walked for several kilometers, not very fast, but when they came back, Zhou Chen carried Li Muzi on his back.
Li Muzi hugged Zhou Chen's neck, pressing tightly against his body. She was very happy and comfortable, and shook mischievously from time to time.
Li Muzi is 1.73 meters tall and is not a very thin type, but her weight is really a piece of cake for Zhou Chen, and he feels no pressure at all carrying her on his back.
Just as Zhou Chen was carrying Li Muzi on his back and preparing to walk into the community, a group of people suddenly blocked his way.
"He Fei, I finally waited for you."
Zhou Chen looked at the ferocious-looking men in front of him, and after a moment's thought, he guessed their identities.
"Are you Brother K's men?"
"You still know us, you dare to block K's phone number and not answer our calls, are you tired of living?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1053: Solving Problems with Violence
Seeing that the other party was so rude and cursed on the spot, Li Muzi hugged Zhou Chen's neck on his back and looked at those people with dissatisfaction.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhou Chen patted Li Muzi's hand and put her down.
"Wife, there's no need to get angry with them. Go back first and let me handle this."
Li Muzi frowned: "But, why don't we call the police."
Zhou Chen smiled and comforted: "There is no need for that. They are just the casino here to collect debts. They dare not do anything to me. Didn't I tell you that I can handle this gambling debt? Don't worry, I will be fine. You go back first and I will talk to them."
Li Muzi looked worried: "Are you really okay?"
"real."
Because of Zhou Chen's changes during this period, Li Muzi had enough trust in him, so even at this time, she chose to believe Zhou Chen.
"okay, I get it."
After that, she looked at the people opposite and said with great momentum: "We will pay back the money you owe, but if you dare to touch a hair on my husband, I will never let you go."
The people who came to see Zhou Chen were all K's brothers. There were four of them in total. They were usually domineering. One of them shouted arrogantly, "You fucking ......"
"Snapped!"
Before the little brother could finish his words, a big bag was thrown on his head.
The bald man in the lead shouted angrily, "You are looking for death, how dare you talk to Miss Li like that."
Then he put on a smile and apologized to Li Muzi: "Miss Li, I'm sorry, I'm ignorant, please forgive me."
Before coming to collect the debt, Brother K specifically instructed that they could be tough on He Fei, who owed him money, but must not offend Li Muzi. Li Muzi was a well-known celebrity in society with a net worth of billions. As casino boys, it would be best for them not to offend these wealthy and famous people.
He kept it in mind, but he didn't expect that his younger brother was so short-sighted and deserved to be punished.
Li Muzi didn't even look at him, but just gave Zhou Chen a few more instructions out of concern, and then left reluctantly at Zhou Chen's urging.
As soon as Li Muzi left, the bald man who was leading the group looked murderous.
"He Fei..."
Zhou Chen interrupted directly: "Follow me." Then he turned and walked to a secluded place.
The bald man's expression froze. He was about to say something harsh when he was interrupted. He felt a breath stuck in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.
But there was nothing he could do, he could only follow Zhou Chen unhappily with his three younger brothers.
Zhou Chen stopped walking in a dark and secluded place. The bald man threatened impatiently, "He Fei, Brother K asked us to tell you, don't think we can't find you if you don't answer the phone. If you dare to default on the 10 million you owe, we will just throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Zhou Chen didn't even look at him and walked straight to the little brother who had just shouted.
The younger brother saw Zhou Chen staring at him and glared back in displeasure: "What the hell are you looking at? Brother Jin is talking to you. Are you deaf?"
His answer was a slap from Zhou Chen.
"Snapped!"
