"Since you have already thought of a way, then give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can find another way, such as donating through other channels."
"okay, I get it."
After discussing business matters, Zhou Chen started his offensive again.
"Gu Jia, are you free tonight?"
"Why, you want to invite me to dinner again? I won't fall for your trick."
Seeing that Gu Jia was joking with him, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and felt much more relaxed.
"Eating is just a side dish. How long has it been since you went to the cinema to watch a movie? A domestic blockbuster was just released recently, and I would like to invite you to go and see it."
"See a movie?"
Gu Jia had a nostalgic look on her face. She had indeed not been to the cinema for a long time. After having a child, she and Xu Huanshan had much less time together. Xu Huanshan was not the kind of person who really liked going to the movies, so she had not been to the cinema to watch a movie for a long time and usually just watched it at home.
"Yes, let's go to the movies first, and then we can go out for dinner together. We won't drink this time, how about that?"
Gu Jia showed hesitation. The meaning of Zhou Chen's invitation this time was completely different from the last time. This time, watching a movie and having a meal was like a date.
Thinking of her previous discussion with Zhong Xiaoqin, she asked, "You really don't want to drink anymore?"
She was not afraid of what Zhou Chen might do to her after she got drunk. Since Zhou Chen did not flirt with her last time, he probably would not do that in the future.
She was just afraid that she would lose her composure again when she was drunk, which would be too embarrassing.
"If you say you don't want to drink, then don't drink."
"Oh well."
Zhou Chen was overjoyed: "Then it's settled. I'll book the ticket now."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and started looking at the movie tickets.
"How about the show at around six o'clock? It's a two-hour movie, and we can go eat after it's over."
"Well, I have to go back before ten o'clock. Zi Yan is waiting for me to tell her a bedtime story."
"Okay, no problem. We still have plenty of time."
After the discussion, the two started their respective work again. When it was time to get off work, Zhou Chen did not ask the driver to pick him up, but went directly to the cinema in Gu Jia's car.
The movie lasted two hours and Zhou Chen watched it very seriously. However, during this process, his big hand accidentally grabbed Gu Jia's small hand. Although she broke free, he withdrew his hand without any embarrassment and watched the movie again seriously.
Zhou Chen's actions and expressions made Gu Jia laugh. Zhou Chen's serious attitude of taking advantage really made her feel amused.
"Domestic films are getting better and better now. This blockbuster is really good."
Walking out of the cinema, Zhou Chen was still thinking about the military film he had just watched. He had never seen this movie about a parallel world, but he felt it was very good after watching it.
Although Gu Jia was not too interested in this action blockbuster, she still watched it from beginning to end.
“Well, this shows that our country’s film industry is making progress.”
Zhou Chen said: "The film industry is a good and thriving industry, but it's a pity that I don't have much energy, otherwise I could open a film company."
He has been in the entertainment industry, written songs, and acted in movies, so he is very clear about how quickly money can be made in the entertainment industry. However, he is not short of money now, and this industry is very troublesome, so he does not want to get involved.
"You also know something about the film industry?" Gu Jia asked in surprise.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I have studied all the profitable industries, but my energy is limited, so I only do the business I am good at."
Gu Jia: "I think you are very energetic."
"Do you mean that I revolve around you all day long?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
Gu Jia rolled her eyes. She found that Zhou Chen was really getting more and more demanding. As long as she showed a little indulgence, Zhou Chen would immediately take advantage of the situation to climb up.
Seeing that Gu Jia didn't respond, Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go eat."
Gu Jia drove to a restaurant. It was just an ordinary Chinese restaurant that was chosen by Gu Jia because Gu Jia said that Zhou Chen chose the restaurant last time, so this time she would choose and she would also treat everyone.
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection to this.
When I woke up, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to update. Oh my god, the new January has not started well.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 374: Encounter, Tea Master's Provocation
"The Chinese food in this restaurant is quite good. You can try it later."
Gu Jia parked the car and then took Zhou Chen to a restaurant. The restaurant looked old and not as brand new as a new store.
However, when Zhou Chen looked inside the restaurant, he found that this not-so-big restaurant already had quite a few people sitting inside, and it seemed that the business was very good.
"Since I received your praise, I think this place should be good."
Gu Jia is a very particular person. She seldom eats out and always asks the nanny to cook for her at home or cooks for herself.
"Let's go."
The two walked towards the restaurant. It was supposed to be a happy thing to have dinner with Gu Jia, but when they reached the door, Zhou Chen and Gu Jia's faces changed.
"Fuck!!!"
Zhou Chen felt like a thousand cows were raging in his heart, and Gu Jia's face looked extremely ugly.
There were two other people with similar expressions.
Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou!
Zhou Chen felt that he might not have checked the almanac before going out today. He went out for dinner with Gu Jia and unexpectedly met Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou.
I saw these two people walking towards the restaurant, and more importantly, they were arm in arm, looking very close.
Zhou Chen turned his head to glance at Gu Jia, only to see that the smile on Gu Jia's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness, as if it had suddenly evolved from tenderness to ice-coldness.
Gu Jia was really angry at this moment, and her good mood just now was gone.
She didn't expect that she would run into Xu Huanshan when she just brought Zhou Chen to have a meal. It would have been fine if she just met Xu Huanshan, but Xu Huanshan actually brought his mistress Lin Youyou with him.
She looked at Xu Huanshan deeply. While she was still sad about the divorce, it seemed that Xu Huanshan was living a good life.
He had just divorced her, and right after that he started to be affectionate and affectionate with his mistress.
Is this what he called a misstep? Is this what he called a moment of confusion?
If before today, Gu Jia still had a little fantasy about Xu Huanshan, then at this moment, Xu Huanshan appeared in front of her intimately with Lin Youyou, which immediately shattered the only remaining fantasy in her heart.
At this moment, she only felt a strong disgust and nausea towards Xu Huanshan. She really couldn't imagine that the man she had been with for ten years would become so disgusting to her.
If we were to say who the most embarrassed person is, it would definitely be Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan never imagined that he would meet Gu Jia and Zhou Chen when he brought Lin Youyou out for dinner.
After divorcing Gu Jia, he did not get together with Lin Youyou, but Lin Youyou was also very resourceful. She pestered him every day, trying to please him and showing her love to him in various ways.
Because Zhou Chen used the skills of the god-level Yue Lao, he already had feelings for Lin Youyou.
Faced with Lin Youyou's offensive, he gradually couldn't resist and naturally got together with Lin Youyou.
He really enjoyed the time he spent with Lin Youyou, because Lin Youyou always went along with him and satisfied him in every way, which was the treatment he had never received from Gu Jia, and it also made his liking for Lin Youyou increase dramatically.
Gradually, he himself did not realize that his longing for his ex-wife Gu Jia was decreasing.
But at this moment, he saw Gu Jia, and he instinctively wanted to separate from Lin Youyou, but Lin Youyou held his hand tightly, preventing him from breaking free.
He was just about to explain something to Gu Jia, but suddenly he saw the disdain and disgust in Gu Jia's eyes, and a burst of anger suddenly rose in his heart.
I was not good and I did cheat, but are you, Gu Jia, a good person?
It's only been a short time since your divorce, and you've already hooked up with Zhou Chen. We even had dinner together and were chatting and laughing. How are you any nobler than me?
However, he only thought about these words in his mind and would definitely not say them out loud.
The sudden meeting of the four people made the atmosphere suddenly become very strange, and in the end it was Lin Youyou who broke the silence first.
"Sister Gu Jia, are you here for dinner too? Who is this gentleman?"
Lin Youyou's eyes were very sharp. She could tell at a glance that Gu Jia and Zhou Chen had a special relationship, so she deliberately asked.
Gu Jia is usually very kind in her dealings with others, but when facing Lin Youyou, she lacks all kindness.
"It has nothing to do with you. Also, don't call me sister. I'm not your sister."
Lin Youyou said nonchalantly: "You are my senior, so it's only natural for me to call you sister, right, Huanshan?"
If it was only Gu Jia alone, Xu Huanshan would definitely not say anything, and would even stop Lin Youyou and tell her to stop talking nonsense.
But when he saw Zhou Chen standing with Gu Jia and looking at them with a smile, jealousy suddenly emerged in his heart.
"Gu Jia, are you out to eat with Zhou Chen? It's already this late, don't you need to go home and be with Zi Yan?"
Listening to Xu Huanshan's sarcastic tone, even mentioning his son Xu Ziyan, Gu Jia's eyes became even colder.
"We're already divorced. I don't need to report to you who I eat with. Also, Ziyan is with my dad, so you don't need to worry about him. You should just manage your company well."
If Xu Huanshan was alone and talked about Zi Yan, she could still understand it, but when Xu Huanshan brought his mistress with him and talked to her about Zi Yan, it only made her feel more disgusted.
Xu Huanshan's face became even gloomier after being confronted. He looked at Zhou Chen but didn't dare to say anything because he knew Zhou Chen's identity and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Gu Jia, although we are divorced, Zi Yan is still my son. I hand him over to you in the hope that you can take good care of him."
He knew that Gu Jia was very unfriendly to him now because he was still with Lin Youyou, so she talked about her son.
But Gu Jia just said calmly: "Zi Yan is my son, I will naturally take good care of him. If you have nothing to do, we will go in first."
As she said this, she was about to walk into the restaurant.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything the whole time. He just smiled at Xu Huanshan and the others when Gu Jia was about to go in, and then he prepared to go in as well.
But at this moment, Lin Youyou suddenly said, "Sister Gu Jia, since we met by chance, why don't we sit together and eat, how about that?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three people fell on her.
Zhou Chen was amazed in his heart, this Lin Youyou is really capable. Isn't she deliberately trying to make trouble for Xu Huanshan?
Given the current situation of the four of them, can they peacefully coexist and sit at the same table?
He didn't care, but he knew that Gu Jia definitely couldn't do it.
Sure enough, Gu Jia said coldly: "I am not used to sitting at the same table with people who have no bottom line. Zhou Chen, let's go."
The two walked into the restaurant, and Zhou Chen suggested: "How about we book a private room, out of sight, out of mind?"
"Yeah." Gu Jia naturally had no objection.
The two of them went in, but Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou did not. Lin Youyou wanted to go in, but was stopped by Xu Huanshan.
"Let's go to another one." Xu Huanshan said.
But Lin Youyou was unhappy: "Why? It's just that we saw your ex-wife having dinner with another man. What's the big deal? Why should we leave?"
Humans are very strange creatures. When it comes to love, before they get it, they always treat it as a treasure and try to please it in various ways.
But when they are really together, they become unscrupulous.
Just like Lin Youyou now, she knew that Xu Huanshan still had feelings for Gu Jia, so she said that on purpose just now, in order to make Xu Huanshan give up the idea.
However, Xu Huanshan's reaction made her very unhappy. She didn't think she was any worse than Gu Jia. Why did Xu Huanshan still miss Gu Jia even though she divorced him and was with him?
Xu Huanshan said rather coldly: "I'm not in the mood anymore. Let's go to another one. If you don't want to, we'll go back."
Lin Youyou wanted to say something, but when she saw Xu Huanshan's cold gaze, she finally said nothing and followed Xu Huanshan away.
In the private room, Zhou Chen saw that Gu Jia looked unhappy and poured her a cup of tea.
"Gu Jia, don't be angry anymore. It's not worth getting angry with that kind of woman."
Gu Jia exhaled and said, "I'm not angry with her, I just didn't expect Xu Huanshan to actually... Forget it, it's none of my business anyway, so I won't say anything more."
It should have been a happy dinner, but when she met those two people halfway, Gu Jia's good mood was mostly gone.
After dinner, Gu Jia returned to Junyue Mansion and said goodbye to Zhou Chen. When she returned home, she saw her father reading a book with Zi Yan.
"Mother."
As soon as Xu Ziyan saw Gu Jia, he immediately ran over happily, hugged Gu Jia and kissed her.
"Zi Yan, have you been obedient at home today?"
"Be obedient, Mom. I'm the most obedient. If you don't believe me, ask grandpa." Xu Ziyan raised his head and said proudly.
Father Gu smiled and said, "Yes, Zi Yan is the best child."
