The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Ms. Wang, this is for you."

Wang Manni took the cup of water and another item handed over by Yang Ma with confusion, looked down, and her face suddenly changed.

"Mother Yang, what does this mean?"

It turned out that what Yang Ma handed over was a pill. As a woman, she certainly knew what it was, so her face turned ugly.

Mother Yang seemed not to notice Wang Manni's ugly expression, and still replied with a smile: "Miss Wang, this is the rule of the Zhou family. Before the young master officially marries you, you are not allowed to get pregnant before marriage."

Wang Manni still looked unhappy: "You guys are too bullying."

She would have slept with Zhou Chen, but the next day she was forced to take medicine. Does this mean she wanted to use the pregnancy out of wedlock to force Zhou Chen to submit?

Mother Yang still smiled and replied: "This is the rule of the Zhou family, Miss Wang, I am just a servant, you don't have to argue with me. If you have any objections, you can tell the young master. I am only responsible for delivering the things to you."

Mother Yang has worked in the Zhou family for twenty years and has long been integrated into the family. Many of the Zhou family's rules were passed down from their ancestors. Not to mention her as a servant, even Zhou Chen, the current helmsman, needs to abide by many rules.

At this moment, Wang Manni looked at the kind Mother Yang and felt that her smile was extremely hateful.

But Mother Yang still responded with a smile. She was not afraid that Wang Manni would have any opinions, because she knew that a woman like Wang Manni was destined to never become the wife of the Zhou family, not to mention that she was doing things according to the rules of the Zhou family.

Wang Manni's face changed several times. She wanted to call Zhou Chen, but she couldn't make up her mind. She knew very well that Zhou Chen would never marry her, and naturally he would never make her pregnant, so.

Under the watchful eyes of Mother Yang, she swallowed the medicine.

"Ms. Wang, toiletries and breakfast have been prepared for you."

"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Wang Manni was unhappy and didn't want to stay here any longer. At this moment, she was already a little regretful.

Her thoughts were really too simple. How could such a wealthy family easily agree with her?

Mother Yang tried to persuade her to stay several times, but Wang Manni didn't listen at all. She put on her clothes and left.

As soon as Zhou Chen walked into the door, Yang Ma had already brought slippers for him to change into. He was used to Yang Ma's meticulous care, so he did not refuse.

"Master, Miss Wang left without having breakfast after waking up."

"what happened?"

Zhou Chen looked surprised. He knew how exhausted Wang Manni was yesterday. Why did she leave so early this morning? Did she recover so quickly?

Mother Yang repeated to Zhou Chen what had just happened, without adding any exaggeration, because she felt that she had done nothing wrong.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen was a little stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was really the case.

Although the original body was not married, it did not mean that there were no women. As a large family with a history of more than a hundred years, the Zhou family had its own family rules. The reason for doing so was very simple, which was to prevent disputes between legitimate and illegitimate children.

In today's society, there is rarely any distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, but many families with a long history still have this tradition, and the Zhou family is one of them.

Zhou Chen has lived in several worlds and has never been born into a large family, so he really doesn't know much about this aspect.

However, he could understand why such rules existed. Even brothers could fight over family property and never have any contact with each other until they died.

If a large family did not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, who knows what would happen to the huge family fortune.

For the elderly, having many children and grandchildren is indeed a good thing, but the premise is that there should be no chaos. If too many children and grandchildren will lead to chaos and endless internal strife, it is better to have only one child.

"Mother Yang, you did nothing wrong. I'll take care of her side. Just do your own thing."

One is a servant who has served him for twenty years, and the other is a woman he has just met for a few days. There is no need to say who is closer.

Wang Manni arrived at the Misha store with a heart full of anger. The more she thought about what happened today, the more she felt aggrieved. She gave herself to Zhou Chen, but in the end she got such humiliation.

For her, taking medicine is a humiliation.

When the deputy store manager came to the store, he wanted to talk to Wang Manni about Zhou Chen, but Wang Manni didn't want to talk about Zhou Chen at all. She just told her tiredly that nothing happened.

It’s just that because of the fatigue from last night and the anger this morning, Wang Manni has been unable to work normally and her emotions are unstable.

In fact, Wang Manni had been waiting for Zhou Chen to call her and explain to her, but Zhou Chen never called her from morning to afternoon, let alone gave her an explanation, which made her feel even more humiliated.

Until the next evening.

Wang Manni sat in the store in a bad mood. Today she didn't even stand at the door, but just chatted with her colleagues in the store.

Today she sold a bag worth more than 10,000 yuan, but the commission she got was very small.

As the most profitable bag section in the store, this performance is obviously not acceptable.

I have a cold and feel dizzy. I will correct any typos.

Chapter 335 Wang Manni's Compromise and Zhong Xiaoqin's Experience

"Manni, what happened to you today? Are you feeling uncomfortable or something? You haven't been in good shape all day."

As the workday was about to end, the deputy manager called Wang Manni over and asked her.

Wang Manni: "It's nothing, deputy store, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I'm not in a good mood, it's okay."

The deputy store manager guessed, "Did Mr. Zhou give you a hard time again yesterday?"

A hint of discomfort flashed across Wang Manni's face. What happened last night and this morning was still fresh in her mind, and she really didn't want to talk too much.

"No, I just don't feel well. I'll be fine tomorrow."

Who is the deputy store manager? She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Wang Manni. She knew that something must have happened between Wang Manni and Zhou Chen, otherwise she would not be like this.

"Manni, don't blame me for being nosy. We can't curry favor with a big shot like Mr. Zhou. We can get some benefits from him, but if we get too involved, you will definitely be the one who gets hurt in the end."

Having worked in the luxury goods industry for so many years, she has seen all kinds of people. Those wealthy people are more cunning than you. If you want to play with them, they have the confidence to do so, but you can't afford it at all.

"Deputy store manager, I'm really fine." Wang Manni still said stubbornly.

The deputy store manager didn't say anything more, but just patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

"Sister Manni, someone is looking for you outside."

Wang Manni was in a daze when she suddenly heard her colleague calling her. She stood up immediately and asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know him. He said he was looking for you."

Wang Manni thought it was a customer and didn't dare to delay. She immediately stood up and walked towards the door. Then she saw a man in a suit standing at the door.

"Excuse me, sir, are you looking for me?"

The man in the suit said, "No, my boss wants to see you, please follow me."

Wang Manni was immediately puzzled: "Excuse me, who is your boss?"

"My boss's last name is Zhou."

Wang Manni was stunned for a moment and asked, "Surname Zhou, Zhou Chen?"

"Correct."

After getting a positive answer, Wang Manni suddenly felt a lot of grievances in her heart. She thought Zhou Chen was really going to take advantage of her and no longer care about her.

She waited from morning to afternoon until this moment when he finally showed up. This made her feel aggrieved, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel comforted.

"I don't want to see him, go tell him."

But the man in the suit ignored her temper and replied in a serious tone, "I am just following orders. If you don't want to see me, Miss Wang, please go and tell the boss. Don't make things difficult for a little driver like me."

“It turned out to be the driver.”

Wang Manni didn't actually want to see Zhou Chen, she was just dissatisfied with her experience, so she was in a bad mood. It was a pity that she was facing a driver who didn't understand romance.

"Okay, wait for me here for a while, I'll go ask for leave."

"Okay, Ms. Wang."

A few minutes later, Wang Manni followed the driver Cao Chengrui to a black Mercedes-Benz.

"The boss is inside, please come in, Miss Wang."

As he spoke, he personally opened the back door for her, then closed it and stood not far away waiting.

After getting in the car, Wang Manni kept a stern face. After glancing at Zhou Chen, she stopped looking at her.

"What, are you angry?"

Zhou Chen's magnetic voice rang in her ears. Wang Manni pushed him away forcefully and said unhappily, "Don't get so close. We have nothing to do with each other."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "We were so happy last night, why is it not a problem today?"

Wang Manni's face flushed immediately: "Who is happy? You are happy. You ate everything and even let the servants humiliate me. Is this the style of you rich people?"

Thinking of what happened in the morning, her anger rose again and she started complaining in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was not impatient. After living in several worlds, he already had his own set of experiences regarding women.

Wang Manni seemed angry and dissatisfied, but in fact she just felt that she was looked down upon, and her strong self-esteem made her want to save her face.

"You can't blame me entirely for this. You probably don't know my family very well. I was born in the Zhou family. The Zhou family's heritage is even older than you think. It has a history of hundreds of years. My ancestor was an imperial physician in the Ming Dynasty, so the family rules are very strict."

"Pregnancy before marriage is an iron rule in our family. No one can violate it. Although I am the head of the Zhou family now, in fact, my grandfather is still above me. He is the real pillar of the Zhou family. I have to listen to him. The older generation attaches great importance to family rules. If I dare to violate them, I will definitely not suffer the consequences."

Zhou Chen began his own fabrication business. Although the Zhou family had been passed down for more than a hundred years, it was not as exaggerated as he said. All of this was just to stabilize Wang Manni.

Sure enough, when I heard about Wang Manni for the first time, I was immediately attracted.

"Are you really from a big family, or a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years? Are there such big families in modern society?"

"Of course."

Zhou Chen said affirmatively: "You may not know that our family tree was passed down from the Ming Dynasty. It is the most precious thing of our Zhou family. Even I have only seen it a few times. There are no big families in modern society. That's because you haven't encountered them. In fact, although there are few big families with a long history like ours, they still exist."

"Why do you think I can control such a huge group at such a young age? It's because I am the legitimate son of the Zhou family. Otherwise, do you think I can have such a huge fortune at the age of less than 30?"

"It's easy to create wealth, but it's much more difficult to keep it. Therefore, no one can violate the family rules of our Zhou family."

"Mother Yang has worked in our Zhou family for twenty years and has been integrated into our Zhou family, so she will strictly abide by the rules of the Zhou family. Don't blame her."

Wang Manni snorted, "How can I blame her? I am just an outsider, and an outsider who was taken advantage of."

Zhou Chen chuckled, grabbed her hand, placed it in his palm, and comforted her softly, "How could I be that kind of person? I wanted to find you this morning, but suddenly the company had an urgent matter. A pharmaceutical company placed a large order of several hundred million with us. As the chairman, I had to follow up on the negotiations, so I didn't have time to come to you."

When Wang Manni heard about the huge order worth hundreds of millions, her breathing became rapid. Only then did she understand why Zhou Chen did not contact her first.

"Humph, you men can't believe a word you say."

"Why can't you believe it? If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it tomorrow. It just so happens that you haven't been to Huaxing yet, so I'll take you to see it for yourself."

Wang Manni really wanted to go, but thinking of her relationship with Zhou Chen, she muttered, "How can I go? In what capacity? Will you admit that I am your girlfriend?"

Zhou Chen sighed helplessly: "Being my girlfriend is not an easy thing. You will be watched and investigated all the time. Don't expect to have a peaceful life then. Isn't our relationship good now?"

"Then what is our relationship now? Lovers?" Wang Manni asked dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned serious. He could coax Wang Manni, but that didn't mean he had to spoil her. Their relationship had been established long ago, but now, only one night had passed and Wang Manni wanted to take it a step further. This was absolutely impossible.

"Manni, don't say such things in the future, it hurts feelings."

"Look at this, I bought it specially for you, see if you like it."

Zhou Chen took out an exquisitely packaged box and handed it to Wang Manni.

Although Wang Manni was dissatisfied, she knew her situation, so after Zhou Chen took out the gift, she took it along the stairs.

At just one glance, she was attracted by the packaging box. She knew the brand. It was a world-renowned brand that specialized in jewelry. Especially their prices were quite expensive and ordinary people could hardly afford them.

At this moment, Wang Manni was full of anticipation. She was also a woman. Although she felt dissatisfied, when she saw such a gift, she couldn't help but want to take a look.

When she opened the box, a flash of light suddenly appeared before her eyes.

There was a sparkling necklace in the box. It was sold as a luxury item, and she could tell at a glance what the shiny thing was.

A diamond, and a very big one at that.

"I don't know much about these things, so I asked the clerk to pick one for me. I thought it looked very beautiful, so I bought it for you."

Wang Manni took out the necklace and looked at it lovingly, but she blamed him: "You should have come to me to buy these things. You must have been ripped off."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If someone rips off the gift I bought for you, just let it go."

Wang Manni rolled her eyes: "Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this."

Although she didn't ask the price, from her point of view, such a small necklace would probably cost at least hundreds of thousands. Not to mention its beauty, she was very satisfied with the price alone.

"Thank you."

"As long as you don't get angry."
