Zhou Chen did not give all of the century-old mountain ginseng to the Ma family, but gave them half. Although Mr. Ma was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it.
When the other wives learned that Gu Jia helped Mrs. Ma buy a century-old ginseng from Zhou Chen, they were all very surprised.
Although they had anticipated this possibility, they were still shocked when it actually happened.
Because if this happens, it means that the relationship between Gu Jia and Zhou Chen is much better than they imagined.
On this day, Zhou Chen was busy at work when his cell phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was the deputy manager of the Misia store.
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows. He hadn't been to the Misha store for a long time. Although he still had nearly 10 million deposited there, he really had no time to go there during this period of time.
The deputy store manager called at this time. Could it be that there were new products and he wanted to invite him over?
Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of Wang Manni, so he answered the phone.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen hung up the phone and his face became a little dissatisfied.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 348: Sea King Appears, Head-on Confrontation
"Manni, who was that man just now, and what is your relationship with him? I feel like the way he looked at you was not right, and your state was not right either."
After the deputy store manager secretly called Zhou Chen, he pulled Wang Manni, who had been in a daze for a long time, to the VIP room and started interrogating her.
When the man appeared in front of Wang Manni just now, she found something wrong. Later, when the two of them entered the VIP room, she secretly called Zhou Chen.
Although she knew that there was a problem between Wang Manni and Zhou Chen, in comparison, she still felt that someone like Zhou Chen was more reliable, not to mention that Zhou Chen was a big client of theirs.
She didn't want to care about Wang Manni's private life, but the problem was that such behavior might affect the store's business, so she had to care.
Wang Manni said embarrassedly: "His name is Liang Zhengxian. He is a friend I met on the cruise ship. I didn't expect him to come here."
Fate is so wonderful. Although Zhou Chen won her over, because of Linda's matter, she went out on a cruise alone and met Liang Zhengxian, the King of the Sea.
Liang Zhengxian is really good at dealing with women. In addition, Wang Manni was hurt by Zhou Chen, which made her feel very bad. She was depressed and was more or less attracted to the elegant and sweet-talking Liang Zhengxian.
But she was also very clear-headed and only regarded Liang Zhengxian as a traveler in life and a good memory.
But she never expected that Liang Zhengxian actually followed her to the Magic City and appeared in front of her.
Faced with Liang Zhengxian's sweet words, she almost fell for him.
But for some reason, at the last moment, Zhou Chen's figure flashed through her mind.
She couldn't help but compare Liang Zhengxian with Zhou Chen, and then she found that, apart from saying more sweet words and making women happy than Zhou Chen, Liang Zhengxian seemed to have nothing that could compare to Zhou Chen.
She didn't know how rich and powerful Liang Zhengxian was, but she was sure that a person born in Hong Kong Island was definitely not as rich and powerful as someone from a big family like Zhou Chen.
Not to mention his appearance. Liang Zhengxian is charming, but compared to the younger and more handsome Zhou Chen, he is destined to be at a disadvantage.
In many other aspects, objectively speaking, Liang Zhengxian is actually not as good as Zhou Chen.
But the problem is that Wang Manni is unable to grasp Zhou Chen, and Liang Zhengxian seems to be infatuated with her. In all honesty, the mature and charming Liang Zhengxian seems to be a good choice.
Even though she knew that Liang Zhengxian's sweet words were definitely not directed at her alone, she was still moved by Liang Zhengxian's behavior.
The problem now is that she doesn't know Liang Zhengxian's background, whether Liang Zhengxian is married or has other women.
But she knew that Zhou Chen was not married, so even if there was only a one in a million chance, it was still a chance.
It was precisely because Zhou Chen was stuck in the middle that she did not immediately rush to find Liang Zhengxian without hesitation.
"Manni, please be careful. You are just a traveler. I think you should be cautious."
The deputy store manager patted Wang Manni on the shoulder and wanted to say something, but Wang Manni's cell phone suddenly rang.
Wang Manni took out her cell phone and her face suddenly changed, and the deputy store manager also saw the caller ID.
"Manni, you answer it here. I'm going to go out first."
Wang Manni looked at the phone, her face full of confusion. She didn't know whether she should answer it.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally answered the phone.
"It's me." Zhou Chen's voice came from the other side.
Wang Manni said: "I know."
"Come to Grand Hyatt."
Wang Manni gritted her teeth and said, "Why should I listen to you? You treated me like that and ignored me for such a long time. Why are you calling me now? It's over between us. I won't listen to you."
Zhou Chen didn't say any more nonsense and said directly: "Get to the 20th floor within half an hour. If you don't come, you will bear the consequences."
In the car, Zhou Chen put his phone aside with a gloomy expression.
"Sea King, Liang Zhengxian?"
After the deputy store manager said that, Zhou Chen guessed that the person who came to see Wang Manni should be Liang Zhengxian.
Wang Manni had already had a relationship with him. Although they had problems now and had not seen each other for a long time, he still felt very unhappy when he heard that Liang Zhengxian appeared.
He knew very well who Liang Zhengxian was, a sea king.
Although he himself was not much better than Liang Zhengxian, at least he did not lie or play with women.
As long as Wang Manni didn't say in front of him that they would never have anything to do with each other again, then Wang Manni was his. Now that Liang Zhengxian wanted to hook up with Wang Manni, naturally he was very unhappy.
"There's plenty of time to deal with you."
Whether Liang Zhengxian is the King of the Sea or not actually has nothing to do with him, but now he can't just sit back and watch someone who has offended him, even if it's just his lover Wang Manni.
Soon they returned to Grand Hyatt Mansion, and Zhou Chen was waiting for Wang Manni's arrival at home.
He believed that Wang Manni would definitely come.
Sure enough, before the half-hour deadline, Wang Manni appeared at his door.
"Come in."
Wang Manni walked in with a stern face.
"You have a stern face. Is it for me to see?"
Wang Manni said coldly: "Why did you call me over? It seems that there is nothing more to talk about between us, right?"
"have nothing to say?"
Zhou Chen suddenly walked towards Wang Manni, and Wang Manni was so scared that she quickly stepped back, fearing that Zhou Chen would do something improper to her.
But Zhou Chen did not take any action. Instead, he walked in front of her and stopped.
Wang Manni stiffened her neck and said, "Yes, you don't lack women anyway. You only need to beg your finger and many women will come to you. Why do you still come to me?"
"You're so resentful, which means you still have me in your heart." Zhou Chen chuckled.
Wang Manni was immediately anxious: "How is it possible? You have already said to me that there is no possibility between us. How can I have you in my heart? I came here today to make it clear to you that I don't want to be your underground lover. I also want to marry like a normal woman, instead of thinking about how to please you all day long and competing for favor with other women. I don't have the energy for that."
"is it?"
Zhou Chen pushed Wang Manni to the wall. Wang Manni wanted to escape, but was caught by him.
"Don't move, you should know how strong I am."
"You, don't mess around, I've already made my words clear, let me go."
Wang Manni couldn't break free and could only struggle with words.
Zhou Chen stared at her, and Wang Manni looked back at Zhou Chen without giving in, but facing his aggressive gaze, she slowly backed off.
Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she still couldn't let it go when she thought about the moments she had spent with Zhou Chen before.
Zhou Chen brought her so many things, but what she wanted most was exactly what Zhou Chen was unwilling to give her.
Zhou Chen let go of Wang Manni and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.
Wang Manni breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Zhou Chen would come to her hard, and she really didn't know what to do by then.
"You want to break up with me, isn't it because of that man you met on the cruise?"
Wang Manni looked horrified. How did Zhou Chen know about this?
But she soon figured it out. Someone in the store must have told Zhou Chen secretly, otherwise Zhou Chen wouldn't have known it so quickly.
"No, it has nothing to do with him. I just don't want to continue like this with you. I'm already thirty years old. If I don't get married now, it will be even harder to get married in the future."
"Ah."
Zhou Chen sneered. Why didn’t he say this when he was with him before?
Now that you have met Liang Zhengxian, you think he is a good person and it seems like you have a future partner, so you are now confident enough to confront him?
"This kind of thing is based on mutual consent. If you don't want to, I won't force you. But do you really think that the man you met is your perfect match?"
"It's none of your business."
Wang Manni didn’t know much about Liang Zhengxian, but she didn’t want to show her weakness in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and he snorted, "Wang Manni, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? Do you think I'm easy to talk to, so I'm fearless?"
Wang Manni gritted her teeth and wanted to say something harsh, but when she saw Zhou Chen's icy eyes, she couldn't say any more.
"Wang Manni, use your brain to think about it. If I really don't care about you, do you think I would put aside my work at the company and come back to call you over?"
"A man you met on a cruise ship almost drove you crazy. I don't know whether to say you are naive or vain. You didn't even know the other person's background, but you wanted to date him."
Wang Manni didn't believe it: "I am just one of the women you had a relationship with. You don't care about me at all, but you don't want me to leave you and be with another man."
"You can think whatever you want, but I want to tell you that you can't go to see that man within three days. I will find out his background. After three days, if you still want to date him after reading his background, I will definitely not delay you."
Zhou Chen did not deny what Wang Manni said. He did have such an idea, but he believed that after Wang Manni knew Liang Zhengxian's background, she would definitely not continue with Liang Zhengxian. She might even remember his good points.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Wang Manni asked unwillingly, but her tone seemed a little weak, reflecting her lack of confidence.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "If you don't listen to me, I promise you won't be able to go downstairs today."
Wang Manni was suddenly shocked, and when she thought of Zhou Chen’s strength at the beginning, she felt even less confident.
"I have something else to do in the store, so I'll leave first."
Wang Manni fled from Zhou Chen's house in a panic, only to hear Zhou Chen say from behind: "Remember what I said."
Horse racing!
Although Gu Jia had Zhou Chen's help, people in the wives' circle dared not underestimate her, but Mrs. Yu did not look at her differently as she had imagined, let alone persuade her husband to hand over the fireworks license of the park to their company.
There was no other way, Gu Jia could only start from other places. She learned that Mrs. Yu would often bring her children to the horse farm, so she brought her son to the horse farm.
"Gu Jia, since you have helped me, I have already talked to my husband. He said we can arrange a time to play golf together. It would be even better if Mr. Zhou Chen could be invited along."
Mrs. Yu’s words made Gu Jia’s expression freeze.
The meaning is very clear. Their family can give the courage of the paradise to her, but the prerequisite is that Zhou Chen can be invited out. The Yu family must need Zhou Chen's help with something.
"Mrs. Yu, you're joking. Zhou Chen is not someone I can call whenever I want."
Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you and him friends? It's normal for friends to go out for dinner, isn't it?"
Although Mrs. Yu is not smart, her husband is smart. She had already discussed with her husband about Gu Jia's desire for the qualification to operate the park's fireworks.
Recently her husband wanted to start a medical supplies business, but this business is not easy and it is difficult to get started.
It just so happened that Zhou Chen’s Huaxing Group was engaged in the business of medicinal materials. Although it was not medical supplies, it must have extraordinary connections in the medical field.
The fireworks operation of the park is nothing, he doesn't take it seriously at all. Making friends with Zhou Chen is what the Yu family wants to do most.
Gu Jia's smile was a little forced. She had thought that it would not be easy to get this business, but in the end it ended up with Zhou Chen, which she had not expected.
She suddenly remembered that when she first went to a gathering of wives' circle, she heard Mrs. Yu say that her husband wanted to start a medical supplies business and asked Zhou Chen to help him.
This put her in a dilemma again.
She was sure that as long as she could get Zhou Chen out to meet the Yu couple, the order from the amusement park would be secured.
But this would be tantamount to betraying Zhou Chen, and she couldn't always use Zhou Chen as a banner.
"Mrs. Yu, I really can't help you with this."
She also had a bottom line. It was enough to use Zhou Chen once and she couldn't push his limits any further, so she refused on the spot.
Now it was Mrs. Yu's turn to be anxious. This was a task assigned to her by her husband. If she failed, she would definitely suffer when she returned home.
"Gu Jia, you and Zhou Chen are friends, how could I not be able to help? I have assured our old Yu that your fireworks are very good. I can give them to one of your theme parks to try out first. If there is no problem, we will give you all the fireworks orders from our theme park in the future. You should know that we own three large theme parks."
