The world of film and television begins from childhood

Wang Manni was teased by Zhou Chen and was confused when she heard what Zhou Chen said.

"Of course, I'm going to do business."

Zhou Chen said this and walked to the door. Wang Manni quickly put her clothes in order and quickly followed him.

Cheating is not something that should be encouraged, but in this world, Zhou Chen has completely let himself go. Now he lives for himself. As long as he sticks to his bottom line, he doesn't care about anything else.

For several hours after leaving the restaurant, Zhou Chen stayed with Wang Manni until Wang Manni could no longer hold on and fell asleep, then Zhou Chen left.

Zhou Chen is not the kind of person who would not admit his mistakes. Since he has received the benefits, he will naturally not do nothing.

However, he did not plan to arrange Wang Manni to work at the Misha store, because that would not be good for him. In that store, he could not hide his relationship with Wang Manni, and it would be a trouble if Gu Jia found out.

As one of the top few people in the Shanghai business community, although Zhou Chen himself does not run a luxury store, he knows some people who do.

In less than half a month, Zhou Chen helped Wang Manni get her work done.

"Although I introduced you there, no one knows about your relationship with me. I just said that you and my wife are friends. Also, when you get there, don't do anything weird. As long as you work hard, you won't lose any benefits."

This time, Zhou Chen asked Hu Xiaohua for help. That guy was a playboy and often visited major luxury stores. Naturally, he had a lot of connections in this area. With just a few words from Zhou Chen, he quickly helped Wang Manni find a suitable store.

It is a store selling jewelry and brand-name bags. It has two parts, which is bigger than the Michelia store. When Wang Manni went there, she directly became the manager of both stores.

"Thank you, Zhou Chen."

After waiting for so long, the job was finally done, and the store manager was even better than she had imagined. This made Wang Manni very excited, and she immediately gave Zhou Chen a passionate kiss.

She worked in the Misia store for several years and finally only got a position as a sales manager, but with just one word from Zhou Chen, she was made the manager of a larger store.

This made her realize more clearly the importance of personal connections and made her believe that she was on the right path.

Compared with the last time, she now knows herself clearly and no longer thinks about those trivial things. She just wants to serve Zhou Chen well, and she will definitely get less benefits in the future.

Being with Zhou Chen, although she sometimes felt sorry for Gu Jia, she suppressed that thought when she thought of the benefits she had gained.

And for some reason, every time I was with Zhou Chen and thought of Gu Jia, I would feel a strange impulse in my heart.

"It's not sincere enough to just say thank you."

"Hate it, then I'll give you something sincere."

Wang Manni smiled coquettishly, then moved her body slowly.

…………

It's another weekend. Gu Jia has been pregnant for more than three months, but she has not given up going to work. She still goes to and from get off work on time every day, but she has become more careful and cautious when she is at work.

"Hello, Mrs. Wang, are you free this afternoon? Okay, then it's settled."

Gu Jia put down the phone and said to Zhou Chen who was playing with Xu Ziyan, "It's Mrs. Wang from Junyue Mansion. She said there's a party in the wives' circle and asked me to come over and have a seat."

"Then go ahead. You've been busy with work lately. If you want to accompany me and Zi Yan, you can take a break. Although those wives don't care about their family's business, they have learned some business methods through hearing and seeing. They are more cunning, but as long as you are on guard, it's not a bad thing to communicate with them more."

Zhou Chen did not object to Gu Jia going to parties with those ladies and doing business. Even if she could not learn all the tricks, she should still socialize more and learn from others' experiences.

Those people in the wives’ circle, even though they are portrayed in a very bad light in TV dramas, is that really the case?

Do you really think that those wealthy men only care about looks? If those wives don't have any tricks, how can they win over their men?

It is true that they despise the poor and love the rich, but that is just the way their circle is.

"good husband."

Gu Jia smiled sweetly. She didn't really like the atmosphere of the wives' circle. She wanted to fit in before for the sake of her family's business, and now she went there because she wanted to learn more about the interests and hobbies of these wives.

As Zhou Chen's wife, she still wanted to learn more. At least in the future, when she went out with Zhou Chen, she would not embarrass Zhou Chen. She wanted to learn to integrate into the upper class.

So, after lunch, Gu Jia changed into the limited edition clothes and bags that Zhou Chen bought for her, as well as those precious necklaces and rings.

No matter who you are, you will have vanity, the only difference is how much.

Gu Jia recalled the contemptuous looks those ladies had given her in the past. It would be a lie to say that she didn't care at all.

She brought these with her not to show off her wealth, but to tell them that now, she was no worse than any of them.

When they arrived at the door of the villa, the driver was already waiting. When he saw Gu Jia coming out, he immediately opened the back door of the car.

"Miss Jia, get in the car."

Gu Jia looked at the driver and asked with a smile: "Chen Xu, are you used to it recently?"

It turned out that her driver was Chen Xu, who had driven for their family before. After Xu Huanshan was locked up, Chen Xu lost his job.

Originally, Chen Xu was planning to work hard while he was young, but after Gu Jia and Zhou Chen got married, Gu Jia asked him if he was willing to come and help her, and Chen Xu agreed without hesitation.

Although he is also a driver, it depends on who he is driving for. Gu Jia is now Zhou Chen's wife, one of the top wives in Shanghai. If he is Gu Jia's driver, Zhou Chen will definitely not treat him unfairly.

"Jia Jie, I'm fine. Director Zhou takes good care of me. In addition to driving for you, he also arranged for me to go to the company to study."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Then you should study hard. You are very smart. When you have learned enough, I will ask Zhou Chen to arrange a position for you."

"Thank you, Sister Jia. Sister Jia, please get in the car."

Chen Xu was immediately very happy. He had followed Gu Jia for such a long time, so he naturally knew that Gu Jia would not just say it casually.

Gu Jia bent down and got into the car. Zhou Chen had told her before that Chen Xu was very smart, but he lacked experience. He also asked him to learn for a while and be her driver. When the time was right in the future, he would arrange something for Chen Xu.

The wives' circle's gathering this time was held in a cafe, which was booked by the wives for the purpose of teaching them how to make coffee.

"Jiajie, we're here."

After arriving at the destination, Chen Xu first stopped the car, then quickly ran over to open the door for Gu Jia.

Gu Jia: "Chen Xu, you can go shopping first. I will call you when the show is over."

"Okay, sister." Chen Xu responded with a smile.

Gu Jia looked at the coffee shop in front of her, picked up her bag, and walked towards the door. Before she reached the door, she met an acquaintance.

"Hey, isn't this Gu Jia? No, you should call her Mrs. Zhou now."

Mrs. Yu walked towards Gu Jia with enchanting steps, and greeted Gu Jia with a smile on her lips.

Gu Jia greeted calmly, "Mrs. Yu."

Mrs. Yu: "Gu Jia, look at my mouth. Mrs. Zhou, you haven't been to our party for a while. I heard you've been very busy recently."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Mrs. Yu, you can just call me by my name."

Mrs. Yu said, "How can that be possible? We are used to calling each other Madam here. Mrs. Zhou, you are really something. You married Mr. Zhou but didn't even have a wedding. If my husband hadn't told me about it, I wouldn't have known about it."

Gu Jia was just about to speak when an acquaintance came over.

"Mrs. Wang."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 382: Confrontation, the maliciousness of the wives' circle

"Mrs. Wang."

Gu Jia and Mrs. Yu both looked at Mrs. Wang who was slowly approaching.

Although Mrs. Wang has entered middle age, she has maintained a good figure due to her pampered life for many years.

She was wearing a purple tight long skirt and a mink coat, which made her look very noble. However, when you get closer, you will find that Mrs. Wang's temperament is not noble at all, and she is just a beautiful shell.

"Mrs. Yu, Gu Jia, what a coincidence, are you here together?"

Before Gu Jia could say anything, Mrs. Yu corrected her, "Mrs. Wang, you called her the wrong name. You should call her Mrs. Zhou now."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Gu Jia, whose expression remained unchanged, and said with a smile, "Yes, it's my fault. I should have called her Mrs. Zhou."

Gu Jia: "Mrs. Wang, you can just call me by my name."

In the past, she felt that the way these people addressed each other was very awkward, and she thought that when people interacted with each other, it would be more appropriate to call each other by their names.

But after marrying Zhou Chen, her mentality slowly changed. She understood that the reason these people called her that was not because they did not have their own names, but because they each represented their husband's family, and calling her "Madam" was also a kind of courtesy and respect to her husband's family.

Mrs. Wang smiled and asked, "Mrs. Zhou, after you married Mr. Zhou, why didn't you live in Junyue Mansion?"

She also specifically asked the property management and learned that Zhou Chen and Gu Jia had not lived in Grand Hyatt Residence for a long time. Otherwise, she would have planned to talk to Gu Jia.

In the past, she really looked down on Gu Jia, because Gu Jia's husband was just a small boss, not presentable at all, and his annual income was not enough to cover her annual cosmetics expenses.

But now it’s different. Gu Jia married Zhou Chen and became Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou Chen is not in the same league as the previous Xu Huanshan. Even if he is her husband, she has to treat him politely, so her attitude towards Gu Jia will naturally be different.

Gu Jia smiled and replied: "It's still not very convenient over there. It's far from where I work, so we moved to a closer place."

Mrs. Yu said: "Mrs. Zhou is currently managing a special rehabilitation institution. She is very busy, so she has no time to come to our party."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Not entirely. A lot of things happened recently and I was very busy. I only had time recently."

After the three of them chatted for a while, Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk. Mrs. Li and the others must have arrived."

"Yes, let's go in quickly, Mrs. Yu. I heard that the person invited this time is a very famous master?" Mrs. Wang asked.

Mrs. Yu replied, "Yes, it's a master that Mrs. Li invited from abroad. He is said to be quite famous in the coffee industry. I'm not sure, and I don't know much about coffee. By the way, Mrs. Zhou, you must be able to grind coffee by hand, right?"

Gu Jia said modestly: "It's ok for me to make ready-made coffee, but I can't grind coffee by hand."

Mrs. Wang: "Then we have to study hard today."

In fact, she was not interested in coffee either, but since the other ladies liked it, she just went along with them. At least she wouldn't let them think that she had no taste.

The three of them walked into the coffee shop together, only to see that Mrs. Li and the others had already arrived, sat down, and started studying.

"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Wang, you are a little late today."

Mrs. Yu chuckled and said, "Mrs. Ma, it's not that we are late, but we met someone at the door and were delayed."

In fact, several ladies had already seen Gu Jia, but they just pretended not to see her. Only after hearing what Mrs. Yu said did they look at Gu Jia.

Mrs. Liu smiled falsely: "Ah, isn't this Mrs. Xu? You haven't come to our party for a long time. You are really a rare guest."

The words "Mrs. Xu" made everyone present change their expressions slightly. The truth about Gu Jia's divorce had already been mentioned during the ladies' casual chat after tea, and everyone knew that Gu Jia was divorced.

But Mrs. Liu still called her Mrs. Xu, and it was obvious that she did it on purpose.

Mrs. Ma pretended to be kind and corrected, "Mrs. Liu, please don't yell nonsense. This is Mrs. Zhou, not Mrs. Xu, right, Mrs. Zhou?"

Mrs. Li put down the teacup leisurely. Although there was no expression on her face, her eyes were fixed on Gu Jia, wanting to see how Gu Jia would react.

The other wives did the same, just sitting there waiting to watch the show.

Gu Jia didn't expect that she would receive such a gift when she came here for the first time after a long time.

After a moment of anger, she calmed herself down again, but Mrs. Liu was deliberately provocative, and she was naturally not the type to swallow her anger.

She smiled and said to Mrs. Liu kindly, "Mrs. Liu is right. I was indeed Mrs. Xu before. But Mrs. Liu, you must remember that my husband's surname is Zhou. If you call me by the wrong name again, and my husband hears it, he may not have as good a temper as I do."

Before coming, Zhou Chen told her not to be afraid of offending others. If someone dared to confront her, she should confront him back. No matter whether she was right or wrong, he would stand on her side.

Zhou Chen gave her confidence, so she naturally had the courage, and faced with Mrs. Liu's ridicule, she immediately fought back.

Mrs. Liu's expression suddenly turned ugly. Although their Liu family was also a member of the upper class of Shanghai, compared with the Zhou family, they were not on the same level. If they angered Zhou Chen, it would definitely not be a good thing for their Liu family.

Gu Jia's strong counterattack also surprised the other wives. They didn't care about Gu Jia, but Gu Jia now represented Zhou Chen and the Zhou family, so they should not underestimate her.

Mrs. Liu was furious, but it was impossible for her to admit defeat. In her opinion, Gu Jia was just lucky to be chosen by Zhou Chen, and was actually not worthy of sitting with them.

Mrs. Li saw the awkward situation and tried to smooth things over by saying, "Ignorance is not a crime. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu also didn't know what happened, so they called the wrong name."

Mrs. Liu hurried down the stairs: "Yes, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mrs. Zhou, I really didn't know that you were no longer..."

Gu Jia interrupted her directly and said calmly: "This time it was a misunderstanding, but Mrs. Liu should be more careful when speaking in the future. Calling the wrong person is not a good thing after all."

Gu Jia's words were mixed with threats, which made Mrs. Liu secretly angry. She was just a vixen who seduced men. What qualifications did she have to teach her a lesson?

Mrs. Li didn't want Gu Jia and Mrs. Liu to continue the confrontation, so she took the initiative to say, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Zhou, come and sit down. Today we are going to make hand-ground coffee."

Gu Jia sat down according to the seat. If she faced these people before, although she thought she was no worse than them, she still lacked confidence.

But now, she no longer felt insecure. Her mentality had changed. She had adapted to her identity and knew that her face was also Zhou Chen's face. She could lose face herself, but she could not let Zhou Chen lose face, so she fought back so strongly just now.

During today's gathering, Gu Jia clearly felt the change in everyone's attitude towards her. Whether it was pretense or sincere, it was completely different from before.

The party lasted for several hours and ended quickly. At this party, Gu Jia did not just do things to please others as she did in the past. Instead, she chatted with a few people leisurely and her behavior showed the demeanor of a noble person. She looked more noble than the other ladies.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Gu Jia participated in two gatherings in the wife's circle, and has fully adapted to her new identity. She is no longer a marginal figure in the wife's circle, but has become the focus, because several other companies want to Get in touch with Zhou's family and treat her very warmly.

Zhou Chen has become very busy recently, because he not only has to take care of the affairs of several companies, but also has to take care of his three women.
