The world of film and television begins from childhood

At this moment, a fire seemed to explode in her heart. Regardless of her tired body, she hugged Zhou Chen's head tightly and kissed him hard, all the way down.

After a while, Zhou Chen suddenly took a breath of cold air...

After a long time, Xuezhi lay next to Zhou Chen, her face slightly red and satisfied.

"I have opened a company before, making clothing, but it didn't run well and it went bankrupt soon."

She got married in Hong Kong more than ten years ago, and later divorced. After receiving some property, she thought about starting her own company.

Unfortunately, the company was opened, but the good times did not last long and it soon went bankrupt. In the end, in order to survive, she had to work as a waitress at the Peninsula Hotel.

"That was before, but it's different now. You have me, and I can help you. Even if you don't do it well this time and lose your money, you can try again in the future."

"Thank you."

Xuezhi didn't know what to say, so she could only try her best to please Zhou Chen and show her gratitude.

Xuezhi's resignation went smoothly. In the next few days, she went out with Zhou Chen during the day and stayed in a hotel with Zhou Chen at night.

That night, after everything was done, Xuezhi expressed her thoughts.

"I have been working as a waiter at the Peninsula Hotel for the past few years and have been studying. So if I want to have a career, I want to do catering."

"Dining? What kind, hotel, Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant, or coffee shop?"

Xuezhi hesitated and said: "I just have this idea and tendency, but I haven't fully considered the specific one yet. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhou Chen said: "If you want to open a big hotel, a small one is not necessary. A large one with five million cannot be opened. For Chinese and Western restaurants, you need to find a suitable chef, have a good decoration, a good environment, and good service; tea restaurants and As for a coffee shop, it is relatively simple and easy to open, but it requires a good location, but it is not that easy to make money.”

"So my suggestion is, if you want to open a restaurant, it's best to have something unique."

"feature?"

"Yes, in Shanghainese terms, it's a gimmick."

"But what gimmick should I look for?"

Zhou Chen already had an idea in his mind, but he was not sure whether it would come true.

"Do you know the cultural differences between Hong Kong and the Mainland?"

"That's a lot. After all, this place has been praised by British culture for a long time, and it is still very different from the mainland."

"Yes, in addition to these, Hong Kong has also inherited the Feng Shui metaphysics that is rarely seen in the mainland of our country. If you have lived in Hong Kong for more than ten years, you should know that the people here believe in Feng Shui."

"That's true, but does it have anything to do with the restaurant?"

Zhou Chen said: "Since people here believe in Feng Shui, we will find a way to integrate Feng Shui into the restaurant and open a restaurant with the metaphysical characteristics of Feng Shui."

Xuezhi didn't understand Zhou Chen's unfashionable ideas: "What is a restaurant with Feng Shui metaphysical characteristics? I know nothing about these and there is no way to integrate into it."

"You don't understand, I understand."

Zhou Chen is very confident. He has traveled through the ancient world many times. When he was in the Langya Bang world, he learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge from his master, Lao Pavilion Master Lin, including Feng Shui metaphysics. Although he was very proficient in it, he still In this urban world, it's okay to be a half-baked master.

He is a master architect himself. He is very confident in integrating Feng Shui into the restaurant and using Yin Yang, Five Elements, Heaven and Earth Bagua, and Feng Shui metaphysics to decorate a restaurant.

"Give it a try, it doesn't matter even if all five million is wasted."

Zhou Chen is very interested. There are really not many things that can interest him now. Feng Shui Restaurant might really be able to establish itself in Hong Kong.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't get a foothold, it's just five million, if you lose, you lose.

"Tomorrow we'll go find the facade."

Seeing Zhou Chen's excited look, Xuezhi smiled. Since Zhou Chen didn't care about five million anymore, what else could she say, and she was also looking forward to what the Feng Shui restaurant Zhou Chen mentioned would be like.

"Just when we were looking for a storefront, we also needed to find a place to live. After all, a hotel is just a hotel, not a home."

"Family?"

"Yes, it belongs to our home."

A simple sentence made Xuezhi's eyes become moist. It belongs to our home. She has not had her own home for a long time.

In the next few days, Zhou Chen took Xuezhi to look for suitable storefronts and housing near Hong Kong Island, and finally found a two-story shop with more than 280 square meters below and a slightly smaller top.

Zhou Chen has negotiated a rent with the landlord, starting from three years. The rent will be paid once a year, and the rent will be deposited for three months. The rent will not be increased within three years.

Although the price is not low, the location is good and the area is sufficient. He also looked around and found that it was more in line with his design direction.

After agreeing on the facade, Zhou Chen began to retreat and draw design drawings, while Xuezhi went to find a house to live in.

It took three days for Zhou Chen to draw the design drawings of the upper and lower floors, all of which were designed in the direction of Feng Shui metaphysics.

From the large-scale two-story style layout to the small details of what can and cannot be placed in each location, he has carefully carved out it. Even where the cashier should be placed, he has arranged it well, and every table has They are all exquisite, and each private room contains instructions for the Five Elements Feng Shui.

Some locations are suitable for marriage, some are suitable for business discussions, etc...

After finishing all this, Xuezhi asked Xuezhi to find a decoration company. Zhou Chen found several but was not satisfied. Finally, he found a decoration company with a relatively large brand at a relatively high price and contracted the decoration to them.

Xuezhi also rented a house, a three-bedroom apartment not far from the restaurant.

Zhou Chen stayed in Hong Kong for a few more days and told Xuezhi a lot of things, especially the decoration of the restaurant. Then he was ready to return to Shanghai, because it was only a few months before the plot started.

Before leaving, it was natural to have some comfort with Xuezhi.

This time back in Shanghai, Zhou Chen went back to his newly bought home, a three-story garden house on Fuxing Road. In order to buy it as soon as possible, he paid a little more money and had it renovated. one time.

He stayed in Hong Kong for almost two months and just moved in after returning.

When he came back, he saw the newly renovated house. Zhou Chen was quite satisfied. About 90% of the decorations were in accordance with his design and it looked more modern.

RV, RV, now that you have bought a house, you must have a car for transportation.

Before going to Hong Kong, he found someone to order an imported Crown, and he went directly to pick up the new car the next day.

Among his previous cars was this Crown. The 92 Crown was considered a luxury car in China today.

October 26th, sunny, around 5pm.

In front of the floor-length full-length mirror, Zhou Chen adjusted his black casual suit, took a look in the mirror, and then turned around and left the room after feeling satisfied.

"Sister Meizi, I won't be back tonight, so you don't have to cook for me."

"I heard you, sir."

After moving to Fuxing Road, it was naturally impossible for Zhou Chen to live alone in such a big old house.

Originally, he wanted Huang Degui and Huang Youcheng to move here, but Huang Youcheng was already in his third year of high school and they all lived on campus and had no time to come. Huang Degui thought it was far away and was unwilling to come here. Zhou Chen had no choice but to go with him. He did.

So he recruited a couple to come over. The man was his driver and the woman was the nanny, responsible for cleaning and living in the bedroom on the first floor.

As soon as Zhou Chen came downstairs to the car, the driver Wang Yuan was already standing there.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Yellow River Road."

After Zhou Chen got in the car, he told the destination of his trip.

Wang Yuan stopped talking nonsense and started the car directly.

Fuxing Road is not far from Huanghe Road. Wang Yuan drove not fast, but he was very steady and soon arrived at Huanghe Road.

"Stop at the cigarette paper shop over there."

"Okay, sir."

In the cigarette paper shop, Jingxiu was chatting with the hotel waiter who came out to help customers buy cigarettes. Suddenly he saw a Crown stopped in front of his shop. He was about to say that he couldn't park here when he saw the driver quickly walking to the back of the car. Opening the door, he saw someone who surprised him.

After Zhou Chen got off the car, he smoothed his clothes and walked to the cigarette paper shop.

"Long time no see, Jingxiu. I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you're still the same."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Jing Xiu's face: "I have only bought cigarettes. How can it change? But you have changed so much. Ah Chen, no, you should call me Mr. Zhou now. It's amazing. Let's do it." You've got a crown and a driver, it seems like you've really made it."

Faced with Jingxiu's teasing, Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "You are the messenger on the Yellow River Road. Don't you still know whether I have sent my hair or not?"

"Of course you have made it. Although you haven't been to Huanghe Road for more than a year, I know that you made it last year. Not only did you buy your uncle a Rolex worth more than 50,000 yuan, but you also opened a restaurant for him on Jinxian Road. , now, even the Crown driver is matched, so he must be free of charge."

Zhou Chen was not well-known on Huanghe Road before, but he was deeply impressed by Zhou Chen. Coupled with the fact that Huang Degui opened a restaurant later, he was sure that Zhou Chen must have become famous.

It's just that he didn't know how successful Zhou Chen was. When he met him today, he found that Zhou Chen had changed his skills. He had become a travel crown and a driver. Even his whole image and temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Looking at the Zhou Chen in front of him who was wearing a fitted casual suit, he looked no worse than Mr. Bao on the Yellow River Road, and he also felt that the temperament exuded by Zhou Chen seemed to be more noble than Mr. Bao.

"It doesn't matter whether I pay or not. What's important is that I'm still me. Here are two packets of Huazi. There's no need to look for them." Zhou Chen handed over a banknote.

Jingxiu took the cigarette skillfully and asked strangely: "Didn't I hear you tell me to quit smoking last year?"

Zhou Chen replied: "I won't smoke anymore, but I can't live without it. If you have time, I'll treat you to a meal."

Chapter 1298 Adding fuel to the fire, the mysterious woman

After hearing Zhou Chen say that he wanted to treat himself to a meal, Jing Xiu waved his hand quickly.

"I really want to flatter you, Mr. Zhou, but who told me to be inseparable from others? Just go ahead and do it."

Zhou Chen smiled and glanced at the defeated Golden Phoenix opposite.

"How long has Golden Phoenix been closed down?"

"Oh, Golden Phoenix, it's been down for less than half a month."

Zhou Chen knew that the reason why Jin Fenghuang was so prosperous was that in addition to being an oiran on the Yellow River Road and singing well, there was also the rumor that Jin Fenghuang was Mr. Bao’s girlfriend. With this gimmick, Jin Fenghuang became Phoenix will become the most profitable hotel on Yellow River Road.

It's just that Golden Phoenix is ​​not actually Mr. Bao's woman, but the one kept by Commander Cai. But just because Commander Cai told her about the 414 stock, this greedy Golden Phoenix not only took all his belongings, It is also equipped with leverage, hoping to make a big profit.

The result can be imagined. How could she, a mere outsider, be a match for the old guys from the Kirin Society? In the end, she lost all her money and fled in embarrassment. It was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

The reason why Jin Fenghuang's business was good was because of Jin Fenghuang herself. As soon as she left, Jin Fenghuang immediately closed down. The most profitable hotel in the past collapsed like this.

"You have the best information on the Yellow River Road. Have you ever heard who captured Golden Phoenix?"

Jingxiu asked in surprise: "Why, is Mr. Zhou interested?"

"I have no interest in opening a restaurant. This Golden Phoenix occupies the best location on Yellow River Road and is very popular. There must be many people interested in it."

"That's what I say, but because of this, it's hard for ordinary people to win. Lu Meilin's boss ladies are clamoring to win the Golden Phoenix, but it's a pity that after such a long time, there's still no movement. It seems They don’t have that strength.”

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have a hunch that this place will be taken over soon, and Huanghe Road will be very lively next year."

Jingxiu's eyes lit up: "Boss Zhou, did you get any gossip? Tell me about it."

"There is no gossip, just a sense of smell as a businessman. I have been on the Yellow River Road for a long time, and I know exactly where this place is. Unless the Yellow River Road is completely abandoned, there will never be a lack of excitement here."

Zhou Chen waved his hand towards Jing Xiu: "Let's go, let's go eat."

"Mr. Zhou, walk slowly."

Jing Xiu also smiled and waved his hands. When he saw the direction Zhou Chen was heading, he immediately became happy.

"This is about 'going home'."

At this time, the waiter who had just bought cigarettes and had not left asked very curiously: "Brother Jingxiu, who is this person? He looks so majestic and majestic. He is no worse than Mr. Bao."

Jingxiu said meaningfully: "He used to make a living on the Yellow River Road and was Jin Meilin's cook. But now, he is amazing and prosperous. You will know in the future that he will definitely become the same as Mr. Bao." The most beautiful person on the Yellow River Road."

Although this was only the first time he saw Zhou Chen after more than a year, Zhou Chen had changed so much that he was completely different from before.

He has been on Yellow River Road for so long and knows the place very well. I believe that Zhou Chen like this will definitely become a star on Yellow River Road.

"This Yellow River Road will be more lively in the future."

Jingxiu looked like she was waiting for a good show.

At Jin Meilin's door, Lu Meilin stood at the door as usual, talking to acquaintances passing by and inviting them into the hotel.

Suddenly she turned her head and saw a familiar figure, and her expression was startled.

Zhou Chen walked up to her and said with a smile: "Why, Lu Meilin, are you surprised to see me?"

Lu Meilin's fat face twitched a few times, then she forced herself to calm down and showed an ugly smile.

"It's been a long time, Ah Chen, oh, no, I should call you Boss Zhou now, Mr. Zhou. Are you here for dinner?"

"Of course, if you don't eat on Huanghe Road, can you still come to collect debts?"

Lu Meilin's expression became even worse, but she didn't dare to have an attack.

Zhou Chen chuckled lightly, and then asked: "When I left, I told the proprietress that when I returned to Huanghe Road, she would leave a private room for me. Is this true?"

"Of course, of course."
