Facing Mrs. Yu's temptation, Gu Jia still shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yu, I think you can think of other ways."
Mrs. Yu's face suddenly turned a little ugly. The other party didn't even give face to the Ma family. She was not naive enough to think that Zhou Chen would give face to their family.
If Gu Jia hadn't intervened to mediate, it would have been difficult for both parties to sit down and coexist peacefully, after all, they had never dealt with each other before.
Gu Jia had figured it out by now. She smiled and said, "Some things are more important than making money in business."
Mrs. Yu showed disdain: "That is based on the fact that you have a financial foundation. If you don't have money, you will feel that money is more important than anything else."
"maybe."
Gu Jia did not argue because she knew what Mrs. Yu said was true.
Seeing that Gu Jia was so confused, Mrs. Yu spoke again, "Gu Jia, I forgot to tell you that it's not just our family that wants to meet Mr. Zhou. Mrs. Li and the others also want to meet Mr. Zhou, so I think you need to think about it carefully."
Gu Jia, who originally didn't care much, suddenly changed her expression when she heard this.
He may not care about Mrs. Yu, but if it is the entire circle of wives, she absolutely cannot afford to offend them, unless she doesn't want to be in the circle of wives anymore.
But she had joined the wives' circle with great difficulty just to help her family's business, but now she had gained nothing, so naturally she was unwilling to leave like this.
But she suddenly realized something, and her brows immediately relaxed.
"Mrs. Yu, I don't think I need to consider it. Now Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ma both know Zhou Chen. If they want to contact Zhou Chen, they naturally have a way. They don't need to go through me. So, the one who wants to see Zhou Chen but has no way should be you, right?"
Mrs. Yu's face turned ugly. She failed to scare Gu Jia, so she smiled stiffly.
"Gu Jia, you should go back and think about it carefully before making a decision."
The confrontation between the two women came to an end, with no winner or loser, because neither of them got what they wanted.
The next day.
Cao Chengrui called Zhou Chen.
"Boss, we've found it. It's at the Keys Hotel."
"Okay, wait for me downstairs."
Zhou Chen put down his phone, his face full of coldness. The person he asked Cao Chengrui to investigate was Liang Zhengxian.
He had no grudge against Liang Zhengxian, but since this guy had provoked his people, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing. He had to teach him a lesson.
Liang Zhengxian was staying in the hotel at the moment, thinking about what went wrong with him.
Based on his years of experience, shouldn't Wang Manni have gone straight to the hotel to find him after the trip to the Misia store yesterday?
But why did Wang Manni not come after he waited for a whole day and night? Was it because he didn’t do well enough, or was Wang Manni really difficult to deal with?
He thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go again today.
He has been hunting for beauties for many years, and Wang Manni is definitely not the most beautiful one, but she has a unique charm that fascinates him and arouses his interest.
Especially since he failed yesterday, he was even more unwilling to give up. He didn't believe there was a woman he couldn't handle.
After getting dressed, Liang Zhengxian prepared to leave, but as soon as he reached the hotel lobby and before he could go out, he was stopped by someone.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Liang?"
Liang Zhengxian looked at the strange man in front of him and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Do we know each other?"
"No, Mr. Liang, our boss wants to meet you."
It was Cao Chengrui who stopped Liang Zhengxian. He came to call Liang Zhengxian on Zhou Chen's orders.
"Who is your boss? I don't think I know him. Also, is this how you invite people?"
Liang Zhengxian showed dissatisfaction, straightened his sleeves, and said, "Tell your boss that I'm not free now. If you want to see me, make an appointment first."
After speaking, he was about to leave, but Cao Chengrui blocked his way.
"What? Do you want to use force?" Liang Zhengxian's eyes flashed coldly. He was not afraid of this.
Cao Chengrui's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Our boss said that if you want to meet Miss Wang Manni, you'd better meet him. Otherwise, you will definitely not be happy to see what happens next."
Liang Zhengxian's expression froze for a moment, and he felt something was wrong. He asked, "What is the relationship between your boss and Wang Manni?"
"You'll have to ask my boss in person. Please, Mr. Liang."
Liang Zhengxian's expression changed, but he finally nodded and said, "Lead the way."
Led by Cao Chengrui, the two came to a private room in the hotel, and then Liang Zhengxian saw a man sitting in the room.
"Boss, the people are here."
Zhou Chen turned around and nodded to Cao Chengrui first. After Cao Chengrui left, he looked at Liang Zhengxian.
"Mr. Liang, hello."
Liang Zhengxian frowned and said, "Sir, we don't know each other. You said you wanted to see me, or it was related to Wang Manni. What is her relationship with you?"
Zhou Chen: "She is mine."
"your people?"
Liang Zhengxian's heart skipped a beat, and then he shook his head and said, "Impossible, Manni told me that she is single."
"Ah."
Zhou Chen sneered: "Besides being boyfriend and girlfriend, can't men and women have other relationships? You should have more experience than me in this regard."
Liang Zhengxian: "You seem to know me very well. Who are you?"
This feeling made him very uncomfortable. Zhou Chen wanted to know everything about him, but he knew nothing about Zhou Chen.
"Of course I know the famous second young master of the Liang family in Hong Kong Island. My name is Zhou Chen. As for who I am, you can slowly investigate. But I want to warn you, don't mess with Wang Manni again, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Liang Zhengxian frowned. Zhou Chen's tone made him very unhappy. When had he ever been afraid of anyone? No one had ever dared to threaten him like this in front of him.
But the other party clearly knew his background and was still so confident in threatening him, which showed that this man was also extraordinary.
But who is Mr. Liang? He has been in Shanghai for some time and knows a lot of people. He also has a strong background. So even though he knows that Zhou Chen might not be a simple person, he is not the kind of person who would compromise under threats.
"Every woman is an independent individual. As long as they are not married, men have the right to pursue them. If Manni rejects me in person, I can still accept it, but I cannot accept you."
As expected of Aquaman, what he said was so high-sounding.
Zhou Chen looked at Liang Zhengxian in astonishment. He was almost forty years old after all, so why did he still look horny?
For the sake of a woman, he doesn't care about offending an opponent who seems to be quite powerful, and he acts so tough. Where does his confidence come from?
"It seems that we can't reach an agreement?"
"We are not on the same page to begin with, so how can we possibly come to an agreement?"
"Then Mr. Liang should take care of himself."
Liang Zhengxian hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After leaving the private room, he did not look for Wang Manni again, but quickly returned to the hotel room, preparing to contact his friends in Shanghai and ask them to help investigate Zhou Chen's situation.
In his opinion, Wang Manni was a very good woman, and he really couldn't bear to give up on her so easily.
So before that, he had to investigate Zhou Chen's background. If Zhou Chen's background was very strong, he would think again and wonder if the cost outweighed the gains.
He acted so strong just now because he didn't want to lose his momentum, but he was not stupid. He understood the principle that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

Chapter 349 Give someone a taste of their own medicine, Zhao Jingyu
"Book me a flight to Hong Kong Island and arrange a hotel for me, right at ..."
After returning to the company, Zhou Chen called Zhao Yuqing over and asked her to do something.
Zhao Yuqing didn't ask anything and answered directly: "Yes, Chairman, today's or tomorrow's, day or night?"
Zhou Chen said: "Tomorrow during the day."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
The office was very quiet, with only the sound of Zhou Chen's fingers tapping on the table.
Today's meeting with Liang Zhengxian really surprised him. He didn't expect Liang Zhengxian to be so tough.
After knowing the relationship between Wang Manni and him, he still didn't give up and even wanted to confront him head-on.
After going through multiple worlds, his personality has changed a lot. Since Liang Zhengxian wants to play with him, he will have fun with Liang Zhengxian to see who can't afford it first.
Today, Gu Jia went to the company and found that the atmosphere in the company was becoming increasingly weird. Several people have already resigned. If this continues, it won’t be long before people lose their morale.
Looking at the helpless Xu Huanshan, and then at her smart and lovely son Xu Ziyan, Gu Jia felt extremely conflicted.
The company’s money is almost gone. It can’t receive any more orders and can’t even pay the workers’ wages. In addition, the house is mortgaged. If the loan cannot be repaid when it is due, even the house will be taken away.
A lot of pressure came, even Gu Jia, who was in a good mood, felt tremendous pressure.
She herself can live a poor life, but she cannot let her son live that kind of life. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Jia still called Zhou Chen. She thought it through. She already owed someone a favor, so it wouldn't be a burden even if she owed another one. If she lost the house and the company, she might not have the chance to repay the favor in the future.
Zhou Chen was not surprised when Gu Jia called him, as he had expected this day to come.
After all, Gu Jia had never been exposed to the upper class, and she didn't know that those people were all shrewd. She thought that by helping the Ma family, people in the wives' circle would pay attention to her.
However, she didn't know that these people were very smart and quickly found out her relationship with herself. If there was no benefit, they might not help her.
Zhou Chen did not refuse Gu Jia's invitation, but agreed directly, and also said that he would go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, so if she wanted to make an appointment, she would have to wait until he came back from Hong Kong Island.
Since meeting Zhou Chen in the morning, Liang Zhengxian did not go out until the evening, when he went to a friend's winery.
"Old Cheng, how is your investigation going on with the matter I asked you to help investigate?"
Lao Cheng is a middle-aged man and a friend of Liang Zhengxian. He has some influence in Shanghai and does good business. This winery is owned by Lao Cheng's mistress.
Old Cheng asked seriously, "Zhengxian, tell me the truth, why did you ask me to investigate Zhou Chen?"
As soon as Liang Zhengxian saw Lao Cheng's expression, he knew something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's going on? Is this Zhou Chen not simple?"
Old Cheng realized that Liang Zhengxian asking him to investigate Zhou Chen was definitely not a good thing.
"Zhengxian, I don't care what grudge you have against Zhou Chen. I advise you not to fight him. I asked a friend to help me find out some of his details. He is the chairman of Huaxing Group."
"Huaxing Group?"
The Magic City is too big. Although Liang Zhengxian is a businessman, it is impossible for him to know all the big companies in the Magic City. He has never known about the Huaxing Group.
"Huaxing Group is a company that does business in medicinal materials, with assets exceeding 10 billion."
"Although it's rare to see the chairman of a 10 billion group, it won't make me back down."
There are indeed not many billion-dollar groups, but the Liang family’s assets in Hong Kong Island have reached hundreds of billions, and their influence is also very large. They are a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong Island.
Old Cheng looked solemn, "Zhengxian, I know your Liang family is very powerful, but that is in Hong Kong Island after all, and this is the Magic City. Also, you underestimate Zhou Chen. It is true that he is the chairman of the Huaxing Group, but this is only his superficial identity. According to the information I have received, he comes from a large family with a very strong background, and the Huaxing Group is just their family's open business."
"Although I haven't found out more, my friend who gave me the information said that you should never offend this person. Zhengxian, listen to your brother's advice. Don't fight, don't act on impulse, and don't forget that this is the Magic City."
Although Lao Cheng is a friend of Liang Zhengxian, they are not very close and it is even more impossible for him to offend Zhou Chen for Liang Zhengxian, so he can only persuade him indirectly.
Liang Zhengxian frowned. It seemed that things were really getting troublesome. Was it worth it to confront Zhou Chen for a woman?
Liang Zhengxian, who had been thinking for a long time, unknowingly came to the Misia store again.
It was already evening and there were few people in the Misia store. Wang Manni had not yet gotten off work and was very surprised to see Liang Zhengxian appear again.
"Mr. Liang."
When Wang Manni saw Liang Zhengxian again, her expression became complicated. She remembered Zhou Chen's warning and didn't dare to have too much contact with Liang Zhengxian, but now that Liang Zhengxian was here, she couldn't just ignore him.
"Manni, I have something to tell you. Would you like to have a drink together later?"
If Zhou Chen hadn't warned her, Wang Manni would have agreed. But thinking of Zhou Chen, she said, "Mr. Liang, I'm so sorry. I've been busy all day today and my waist hurts. I want to go back and rest early."
"Is that so? Then I'll take you to the hospital. Back pain is no small matter."
"No thanks, Mr. Liang."
…………
It takes just over two hours to get from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island. Zhou Chen set out in the morning and arrived at Hong Kong Island at noon. Cao Chengrui also came with him on this trip.
On the first day in Hong Kong, Zhou Chen did not take any action, but waited for a day and let Cao Chengrui collect information.
He came to Hong Kong Island with only one purpose. Don’t you, Liang Zhengxian, have feelings for my people? Then I will move on your woman first to see who is better at stealing her.
This is called treating others with their own medicine.
