The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Ms. Li Li is joking. If this can be called poor reception, what else could it be? Could it be possible that a group of reporters would really come to me to take a bunch of photos and submit them to the newspaper?"

Li Li opened the wine, poured a glass for Zhou Chen, poured another glass for himself, and then raised the glass.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for your honor today. This is my greatest honor. I will do it first as a token of respect."

After saying that, she drank the half cup of white wine in one gulp. After finishing it, her expression obviously changed a little. After all, this was a red wine glass, and even if it was only half a cup, it still had at least two ounces.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything and just finished it in one gulp.

"Ms. Li Li, I know you are very busy today. You really don't need to take care of me. I'm just here to eat."

"If Mr. Zhou wants to eat in the future, he can come to our Zhizhen Garden at any time. As long as I, Li Li, are here for a day, Zhizhen Garden will always be open to Mr. Zhou for free. No matter what Mr. Zhou wants to eat or drink, Zhizhen Garden will pay for it."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "When Miss Li said this, I didn't dare to come."

Li Li heard Zhou Chen's joke and smiled. After saying a few words to Zhou Chen, he left the private room.

Today's Zhizhen Garden is definitely the protagonist of Huanghe Road. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was very grand. Many celebrities and local Shanghai celebrities were invited to the opening ceremony. Finally, even the famous Mr. Zhou entered Zhizhen Garden.

So this time Zhizhenyuan really made a splash on the Yellow River Road.

Zhou Chen was eating and drinking by himself in the private room of Zhizhen Garden. When it was almost done, he was ready to get up and leave.

When he asked Wang Yuan to check out, he was told that he didn't have to pay today. Wang Yuan knew Zhou Chen's habits and insisted on paying.

In the end, Li Li came to see Zhou Chen again.

"Mr. Zhou, we specially invited you to come here today. You are already giving us a lot of face by coming here. Why do you have the nerve to accept your money? This is not a slap in my face."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "I never like to eat for free, because the free ones are often the most expensive. But since Miss Li said so, I will give you a face today. This time I am just a human being." I came, but I didn’t bring any gifts, and I didn’t give any money for the meal. I’ll definitely pay it back next time I come back.”

Li Li said: "Boss Zhou is really too polite. Your presence is the best gift. If you really want to count, it is our Zhizhen Garden that borrowed your name, Boss Zhou. We should give you money, but I know that if I really give you money, Boss Zhou will probably never set foot in Zhizhen Garden again."

Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. If Li Li really did that, he would definitely never come again.

In the end, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Li Li, refused other people's invitations, got into his car, and left Huanghe Road.

In the next few days, Huanghe Road was still very lively, and the Zhizhen Garden was also full. Starting from the opening day, it was full for several consecutive nights.

For a time, Zhizhenyuan was on the rise, and many proprietresses on the Yellow River Road were filled with resentment.

"Sir, this is Commander Kai's pastry you requested."

In the early morning, Zhou Chen finished his run, took a shower, and came to the restaurant. Several Western pastries were already placed on the table.

Zhou Chen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Meizi."

Zhu Mei replied respectfully: "Sir, this is what I should do."

"Youcheng haven't gotten up yet?"

"Nope."

"Leave one for him."

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Chen tried Shanghai's famous Kesling Western Dessert. It tasted really good, but it was a bit sweet.

"Go buy some cooked vegetables from Guangming Village tomorrow."

"Okay, sir."

After Zhou Chen finished dinner, he returned to the study. After a while, Wang Yuan came over to report the situation to him.

From Wang Yuan's mouth, Zhou Chen learned that during the confrontation with Mr. Fan's batch of burning mercerized cotton, Li Li suffered at the hands of Mr. Bao. She underestimated Mr. Bao's ability and overestimated Wei Hongqing's strength. As a result, because of the information The difference did not lead to this business.

Mr. Fan also suffered a big loss because of his vacillation and his behavior of trying to achieve maximum benefits, and in the end he had no choice but to agree to Mr. Bao's price reduction request.

Although he will lose two to three million due to the price reduction, he must do this compared to selling out all the goods and becoming a famous brand in Shanghai and meeting the export quota.

As for Mr. Wei Wei Hongqing, he is famous all over Huanghe Road because of the Eighty-Eight Table King Farewell My Concubine. Although it is just the black and red of the negative textbook, black and red are also red. At least someone knows about him Wei Hongqing and knows that Wei Hongqing dares to compete with Mr. Bao for orders. .

Even if he fails to grab the order in the end, at least he has the courage to compete with Mr. Bao, which is much better than others.

That night, Zhou Chen was bored and went to a restaurant.

"Boss, let's have a pork ribs rice cake."

This is the restaurant that appeared several times in the TV series Fanhua. It is also Wang Mingzhu’s favorite restaurant to eat pork ribs and rice cakes.

The pork ribs rice cake came quickly. Zhou Chen took a few bites and found that the taste was pretty good, but not that delicious. Wang Mingzhu liked the pork ribs rice cake in this store. It was probably just part of the reason that she liked eating it, and more of it was just missing it. in the past.

At this moment, the sound of pushing the door suddenly sounded, followed by a woman's voice,

"Boss, a pork ribs rice cake."

"Miss Wang is here. Please sit down first. She will be here soon."

Wang Mingzhu shook her hair, carried her bag, and prepared to sit where she usually sat.

But when she turned around, she realized that her usual seat had been taken by someone. What was even more surprising was that she knew this person.

"Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Chen turned his head, saw Wang Mingzhu, and said hello with a smile.

"Miss Wang, what a coincidence."

Wang Mingzhu is also a celebrity on the Yellow River Road. After he crossed over, although the two of them had no intersection, he still knew Wang Mingzhu.

After confirming that it was Mr. Zhou, Wang Mingzhu was even more surprised. She walked to sit next to Zhou Chen.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you eating here?"

This pork rib rice cake shop is just a small shop. In her eyes, Zhou Chen is a celebrity in Shanghai and should not eat in a place like this.

Zhou Chen said: "Why can't I be here? I heard that the pork ribs and rice cakes here are good, so I came over to try them. It tastes really good. From the look of Miss Wang, she seems to be a regular customer here?"

Wang Mingzhu opened her mouth and said, "Of course, I've been eating the pork ribs rice cakes from this store for more than ten years. Their family didn't live here before, but they moved here later. Their pork ribs rice cakes are the best." After eating it, I think it tastes better than the food on the Yellow River Road."

Zhou Chen smiled. The pork ribs rice cake at this restaurant may be Wang Mingzhu's favorite, but if you really want to compare it with the dishes on Huanghe Road, there is still no comparison.

Wang Mingzhu looked at Zhou Chen. She was rarely curious about strangers, but she was really curious about Zhou Chen.

Not only because Zhou Chen is famous in Shanghai, but also because she went to the first venture capital conference with her master, and her master Jin Ke spoke highly of Zhou Chen at that time.

Facts later proved that her master's vision was correct. Zhou Chen did quickly achieve what others had not been able to achieve for many years.

"Miss Wang, what are you looking at?"

The absent-minded Wang Mingzhu suddenly turned red and quickly looked away.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. I've heard others say that Mr. Zhou is a hard-to-talk person, but I don't think so. Some people say that you..."

"How much money do you have if you are stupid?"

Wang Mingzhu suddenly looked embarrassed. There were indeed many people saying such rumors on the Yellow River Road. After all, no one had invested as much as Zhou Chen before.

"Miss Wang, your pork ribs rice cake is ready."

Fortunately, the boss came over at this time to break the awkwardness. Wang Mingzhu quickly turned her head and stared at her pork ribs rice cake, but suddenly raised her head again.

"I think you are different from the rumors. We were not familiar with each other before, but you can talk to me patiently, which shows that you are not the kind of person who is difficult to talk to, and you are someone that my master admires. I I don’t believe such rumors either.”

Looking at Wang Mingzhu with a determined look on his face, Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"Rumors only stop at the wise. How could Miss Wang be deceived by rumors if she is so smart? Just like there are rumors on the Yellow River Road that Miss Wang has such prestige because of Mr. Bao, but in my opinion, Miss Wang has real abilities. As a salesperson, you don’t rely on Mr. Bao, you and Mr. Bao succeed each other.”

Chapter 1306 Return to the True Garden, Zhou Chen’s gift

Zhou Chen's words immediately caused Wang Mingzhu's eyes to change.

"Do you really think so?"

Although she was chattering, she was not stupid. She had naturally heard of all kinds of rumors on the Yellow River Road. Many people said that she was able to achieve her current results only because of Mr. Bao.

She also admitted that she and Mr. Bao were good partners, and Mr. Bao also helped her a lot. She also had feelings for Mr. Bao, but it didn't mean that she was willing to be said so.

Zhou Chen's identity was there, and she was surprised when he said such words.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Of course, although Mr. Bao is very capable and capable, without you, Miss Wang, he would not have achieved what he has now, so I say that you are mutually successful."

Wang Mingzhu immediately showed a brilliant smile and said happily, "Mr. Zhou is still fair in what he says, unlike those mean people who only know how to gossip. When Mr. Bao came to No. 27, no one paid any attention to him. In the end, it was me who helped him complete his first foreign trade order. Without me, Mr. Bao would not have achieved what he has now. You said it very well."

"Miss Wang is right. With Miss Wang's ability, even if she leaves No. 27 and works alone in the future, she will definitely not be worse than Mr. Bao."

In order to complete the side mission, Zhou Chen directly started to PUA Wang Mingzhu. Wang Mingzhu was simple-minded, and was even more happy when Zhou Chen praised her.

This is the advantage brought by Zhou Chen's identity. Wang Mingzhu might be happy if other people praised him, but he would definitely not be as happy as he is now. Zhou Chen is a celebrity in Shanghai. Looking at the whole country, he is also a powerful businessman. He is When such a person praises you in person, your vanity can still be greatly satisfied.

"It's not as good as you said. Mr. Bao is very capable. I can't compare to him."

If the corners of her mouth could be lowered, she might be able to show some humility, but now that she is smiling, such words are really not very convincing.

Zhou Chen continued PUA: "If nothing else, let's talk about the Sanyang brand that caused a lot of commotion on Huanghe Road recently. Although it was Mr. Bao who negotiated it in the end, Mr. Bao wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with it if it weren't for Ms. Wang. When it comes to the Sanyang card, it is even more impossible to talk about the Sanyang card.”

This is actually a bit of a lie. Although Miss Wang played a certain role in getting the Sanyang T-shirt this time, the final deal was mostly due to Abao's strategizing.

However, Wang Mingzhu didn't know Zhou Chen's thoughts. She had no friendship with Zhou Chen. She only thought that Zhou Chen was sincerely praising her, so she smiled very happily.

"Mr. Zhou, no wonder you run an investment company. Your vision is better than others."

Seeing Wang Mingzhu's happy look, Zhou Chen felt a little guilty in his heart. Although this woman was in her twenties, she was really the kind of simple and heartless, but that's right, if she really had a heart. , so you won’t be backstabbed so easily by your colleagues.

Like Wang Mingzhu, who lived in a happy family and grew up pampered by her parents. When she arrived at the company, she was cared for by her section chief and master. After starting work, she met someone like A Bao who was willing to trust her and help her. Her life It’s true that I didn’t encounter any setbacks.

It is understandable that such a woman who has lived in happiness for the first half of her life has a carefree personality and has a simple mind.

The two chatted while eating. After a while, Zhou Chen was ready to leave, so he asked Wang Mingzhu: "Miss Wang, do you want to go together? I drove here to give you a ride?"

Wang Mingzhu refused: "Thank you, but no, I have to wait for a while."

"Waiting for Mr. Bao?"

"Ah."

Zhou Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Then I won't disturb you, Miss Wang, I'm leaving first."

"Mr. Zhou, goodbye, thank you for your praise today."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Goodbye, Miss Wang."

Wang Mingzhu watched Zhou Chen leave with a puzzled expression. Many people on the Yellow River Road said that Zhou Chen was difficult to get along with, but after just contacting her, she found that Zhou Chen was not difficult to get along with at all. He spoke very politely and had a smile on his face. He looked like a gentleman no matter how he looked. A very good person to talk to.

"Sure enough, the rumors are not trustworthy, just like those rumors about me. Boss, please have another pork ribs rice cake."

In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed since Zhizhenyuan opened on Huanghe Road. During this period, Zhizhenyuan has definitely been the most profitable restaurant on Huanghe Road. It is almost full every day, and the private rooms are very popular. Every day. It was fully booked and there were no private rooms at all since we booked late.

The two big stars on the Yellow River Road, Zhou Chen and Abao, Zhou Chen had already been to Zhizhen Garden on the opening day. His visit indeed made many people pay more attention to Zhizhen Garden. After all, Zhou Chen is I have never attended the opening ceremony of any company hotel, and Zhizhenyuan is the first one.

Li Li really has a big heart. If she wants to make money quickly, the first thing she needs is fame.

Zhou Chen went to Zhizhen Garden and gained fame and gimmicks. However, in the following days, Zhou Chen did not go again, which still made her a little disappointed.

But Zhou Chen had been there once after all. Although she didn't actually negotiate business in his hotel, it had made her famous after all, so she was still grateful to Zhou Chen.

But she was grateful, and what she wanted more was to make money, so Mr. Bao, who often discussed business on the Yellow River Road, became her target.

In order to allow Mr. Bao to go to Zhizhen Garden, she fought with Mr. Bao several times.

In the end, Mr. Bao agreed to her, and one afternoon, he drove to Huanghe Road, preparing to go to Zhizhen Garden.

"Madam Boss, Mr. Bao is here, but he didn't go through the front door, but came in through the small door in the back kitchen."

When Manager Pan reported this situation to Li Li, his expression was also very strange.

Li Li was even more surprised after hearing this: "Again, take the small door of the kitchen at the back?"

Manager Pan nodded and said: "Yes, boss lady, you said that when Mr. Zhou came to our place last time, he went through the back kitchen door. He explained that he used to be a cook. This can still make sense, but Mr. Bao also used the back kitchen door. He was not a cook before, so why did he also use the back kitchen door?"

Li Li frowned: "Both of them came in through the small door of the back kitchen. This is definitely not a coincidence. There must be some secret that we don't know about."

"Let's go to the kitchen to find Mr. Bao."

Li Li couldn't figure it out, so he could only stop thinking and go to the kitchen to see Mr. Bao again.

She met Mr. Bao and wanted to invite Mr. Bao and Miss Wang to have dinner in the private room of Zhizhenyuan, but Mr. Bao refused her and instead ordered a piece of stir-fried beef river and ate it in the back kitchen. After that, he even said that Zhizhenyuan had been open on the Yellow River Road for less than three months.

Because of Mr. Bao’s words, Zhizhenyuan became even more popular.

The reason is also very simple. Mr. Bao said that the Zhizhen Garden would only be open for three months on Huanghe Road. This aroused the curiosity and attention of other people, and everyone wanted to go to the Zhizhen Garden.

On the one hand, I want to know why Mr. Bao said this, and on the other hand, I also want to experience the service of Zhizhenyuan before it closes.
