The world of film and television begins from childhood

Just have a few more children or a few more birthdays and you can easily have thirty dinner parties.

Although this method takes a long time, he doesn't have to go against his own ideas and get together with them.

However, the prerequisite is that this dinner task can be counted as a dinner even if you don’t eat at the same table.

"what!"

2203, Qu Xiaoxiao grabbed her hair with both hands and shouted in dissatisfaction.

She sent so many messages to Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen didn't reply to any of them, which made her feel very defeated.

But she is a woman, and a beautiful, rich and beautiful one at that. Why does Zhou Chen ignore her like that?

Although Zhou Chen invited her to dinner today, she clearly felt that Zhou Chen was only being polite to her on the surface, and in fact he still had an attitude of keeping her at a distance.

"I just don't believe it. I must conquer you and make you my man."

Qu Xiaoxiao is the kind of woman who has a very serious rebellious mentality, and also has a tenacious character that refuses to admit defeat. If she wants to accomplish something, she will definitely do it.

After returning home, Andy recalled his abnormal behavior today and Zhou Chen's unusualness, so he called his old friend and boss Tan Zongming.

"Hey, Andy, why did you think of calling me so late? Is there something important?"

Tan Zongming was also very surprised when he received Andy's call at around ten o'clock, because he knew Andy and he would not look for him at this time unless it was something important.

Andy didn't realize until she heard this that it was already so late. She was so busy thinking about things that she didn't pay any attention to the time.

"I'm sorry, Lao Tan, to bother you so late."

"Given our friendship, you don't have to apologize for bothering me at any time. Tell me, what's the matter? Is it about the acquisition?"

"No, actually I came to you because I want you to help me find someone."

"Inquiring about people?"

After hearing this, Tan Zongming was very surprised. Andy had returned to China for a few days already. She should not have many acquaintances in the country. Why would she let him inquire about her?

"Who is the person that interests you? Who do you want to know?"

Andy said: "It's a man named Zhou Chen. He drives a Bentley Mulsanne with a license plate number of..."

"Is the person you are talking about a handsome man in his twenties?"

"Hey, Lao Tan, how did you know that?"

After getting Andy's affirmative answer, Tan Zongming took a breath and asked in a serious tone: "Andy, tell me honestly, why do you want to investigate him?"

Tan Zongming is Andy's best friend, and they know each other. As soon as she heard Tan Zongming's tone, she knew that Tan Zongming must have thought of something.

"What's wrong? Do you know this person?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I know this person. Not only me, but many people in Magic City know him, but there shouldn't be many people who can recognize him."

"Andy, you know Chenxing Group, right?"

Andy was surprised and said, "Of course I know about Chenxing Group. It is the most famous and fastest-growing company in China in recent years. Even abroad, it has been highly sought after. Countless Wall Street tycoons want to have a relationship with it. Why are you suddenly talking about it?"

"Because the Zhou Chen you want to investigate is the boss behind the Chenxing Group."

"what?"

Tan Zongming's words instantly broke Andy's defense. No matter how cold her personality was, this explosive news made her unable to control her emotions.

"Old Tan, are you sure? This Zhou Chen I'm talking about lives downstairs from me. No, he doesn't live here, his parents live here."

"Is there still this?"

Tan Zongming was also surprised. Zhou Chen’s parents live in Ode to Joy community?

"Please describe his appearance in more detail."

So Andy thought for a while and began to describe Zhou Chen's appearance. Although it was not completely correct, he still described 70% of his characteristics.

After hearing this, Tan Zongming replied with certainty: "If it is true as you said, then he is definitely the Zhou Chen I mentioned. He is a very mysterious person. He hardly appears in public, does not participate in various business activities, and rarely attends gatherings in the circle. Even I have only met him two or three times, but he is a very special person. Once you meet him, it is difficult to forget him."

"No wonder I felt he was extraordinary when I first saw him. It turns out he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Morning Star Group."

Andy recalled the aura Zhou Chen exuded and felt relieved. A top rich man and person in power like Zhou Chen would naturally have a good aura.

Tan Zongming also exclaimed: "It is really surprising that Zhou Chen's parents actually live in the Ode to Joy community. Andy, if possible, I hope you can get in touch with him more. This person is really a genius. No, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a demon."

As a long-established corporate leader in Shanghai, the Tan family is also a wealthy and prestigious family in Shanghai. In just eight years, Chenxing Group has become the top group company in Shanghai. Naturally, they have done research on such a company.

Although the rise of Chenxing Group was due to the right time and place, as well as the endorsement of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the most important reason was only one, and that was their boss, Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen’s rise can be said to be a legend in the business world of Shanghai and even the entire country. If Zhou Chen had not been too low-key, he would probably have been known throughout the country long ago.

"I understand, Lao Tan, hanging up."

Although Andy was also shocked that Zhou Chen was the behind-the-scenes boss of Chenxing Group, he was just shocked and did not think of making friends with him.

However, Tan Zongming, who was in the mansion, looked solemn after hanging up the phone.

"The house I chose unintentionally turned out to be related to Zhou Chen."

He originally placed Andy in Ode to Joy because he wanted Andy to have more exposure to the world of everyday life, but who knew that he would meet the boss behind the Morning Star Group.

Although he knew the secret, he was not going to reveal it. From Zhou Chen's performance over the years, it can be seen that he is really low-key. If he deliberately publicized it, he might offend Zhou Chen.

Chenxing Group can now be said to be one of the largest groups in Shanghai. Even the Shengxuan Group of the Tan family cannot compare with Chenxing Group in scale.

He didn't want to establish such a powerful business rival.

Time flies, and a few days pass.

In the past few days, Qu Xiaoxiao would send messages to Zhou Chen on WeChat every now and then. Finally, Zhou Chen simply set it to do not disturb and ignored her.

Qu Xiaoxiao was very angry when she saw that Zhou Chen had not replied to her. She wanted to stop Zhou Chen, but she had not seen Zhou Chen's car in the underground garage. She did not dare to go downstairs directly to look for it, so she could only sulk by herself.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 414: If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Please have dinner with me.

In the next few days, Zhou Chen was no longer harassed by Qu Xiaoxiao. He guessed there were two possibilities.

Either she had lost her patience, or she was busy fighting for the family property and managing the company.

But no matter which possibility it is, it is a good thing for him. After all, he is still counting on Qu Xiaoxiao to complete the task for her, so he can't completely turn against her.

This feeling of being constrained and unable to do whatever he wanted really made him very uncomfortable.

The system is indeed his biggest golden finger, but conversely, the tasks issued by the system force him to complete, which is equivalent to constraining him.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to hold a rose, you must bear its pain.

Although Zhou Chen often cursed the damn system, he knew that if the system had not appeared, he would just be one of the thousands of losers.

Without a system, let alone marrying so many wives, even an ordinary woman would probably make all kinds of demands.

In the end, he might end up marrying a woman with whom he has little feelings, having children, and living a life with a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

Then, for the sake of the children, I had to bow my head, work hard to make money, and live a hard life, leading a busy but depressing life...

Therefore, even if the tasks issued by the system disgust him, he will try his best to complete them.

As for anything that goes against your true feelings, screw it.

They are not teenagers in their teens or twenties anymore, they are already adults. There is no one in the world who can have everything go his way.

Zhou Chen opened a chat box on WeChat and saw the latest message. He smiled slightly and started typing with both hands.

"Don't thank me. You can do well because of your own efforts. I just gave you some advice."

The person who was exchanging messages with him was Guan Juer, one of the five girls in Ode to Joy. It was not that he had done nothing during this period, but he had already started to contact Guan Juer.

But for now, he and Guan Juer are only communicating through letters, and have not had any formal offline contact.

At the beginning, it was Zhou Chen who took the initiative to ask Guan Juer using her parents as the starting point.

Guan Juer was an honest child and had a great affection for Zhou Chen, so she naturally answered all of Zhou Chen's questions without reservation.

Gradually, the two of them moved on from the initial topic to other topics, such as work, study, life, etc.

After the two became familiar with each other, Guan Juer would occasionally complain about being too busy at work and too stressful.

Zhou Chen gave some advice at the right time. Guan Juer worked in securities, so Zhou Chen was naturally familiar with this area. It was easy for him to guide Guan Juer.

After a while, Guan Juer replied to the message again, still with some words of thanks.

Zhou Chen felt that the time was right, so he sent a message to Guan Juer and asked her to have dinner together on the weekend.

Guan Juer, who was working overtime, was surprised and delighted to see the invitation message sent by Zhou Chen.

The communication during these days made her understand Zhou Chen a little better, and her admiration for him increased a lot.

But when she thought that Zhou Chen already had someone he liked, she felt particularly uncomfortable.

She also knew that she was not worthy of Zhou Chen, but she couldn't stop thinking about it.

Now Zhou Chen sent her a message, inviting her to have dinner together on the weekend, which made her heart beat rapidly.

Of course she wanted to agree, but she was a little scared. She felt that since Zhou Chen already had someone he liked, she should not get entangled with him anymore.

But as she became more familiar with Zhou Chen, she became more and more attracted to him.

In the end, her emotions overcame her reason and she accepted Zhou Chen's invitation.

As soon as the message was sent, Guan Juer quickly threw her phone on the table, covered her blushing cheeks with her hands, and her heart beat faster.

"How can I agree to this? What should I do? I, I..."

After agreeing, she regretted it because she had never had the experience of eating alone with a boy, let alone eating with a man she admired.

After seeing the message, Zhou Chen smiled slightly.

He can be considered an old hand among women. It cannot be said that it is easy for him to capture a young woman like Guan Juer, but as long as he targets her with a purpose, it should not be a problem to capture her.

Through these days of communication, he found that Guan Juer was indeed a very honest child, the kind of girl who was well-educated but also very strictly disciplined.

She has a gentle and docile personality, but also a little rebellious, which can be seen from the fact that she complained about her life and work several times.

Although he was preparing to contact Guan Juer with a purpose, Zhou Chen had never thought of deceiving her feelings.

If they can really get along, then it doesn't matter if he marries Guan Juer, but if they can't get along, then he can only use other solutions to complete the task.

Anyway, there is still a way to guarantee a safe outcome. At worst, you can just complete the task, arrange the rest of the things, and leave this world.

The weekend came quickly. That morning, Guan Juer got up early and dressed up, but no matter how she dressed, she felt dissatisfied.

Today was her first time having dinner with a boy, and he was a man she admired, so she wanted to show her best side.

She originally didn't want to tell anyone about this, but after thinking it over again and again, she decided to ask Sister Fan for help.

Today is the weekend, and Fan Shengmei is not planning to be idle. She is also getting dressed up because she has another blind date today.

As a 30-year-old woman, blind dates have become the norm, especially for women like Fan Shengmei who are eager to change their lives through marriage, and they regard blind dates as the best way to get promoted.

"Sister Fan."

Fan Shengmei was drawing her eyebrows. When she heard Guan Juer's voice, she looked up and was about to continue, but the moment she turned her head, she turned back.

"Guan Guan, what's going on with you?"

She even dropped the eyebrow pencil in her hand, stood up, and looked at Guan Juer in disbelief.

Guan Juer looked embarrassed, "Sister Fan, I want to put on makeup, but I don't know what's going on. The more I put on, the uglier I look. Can you help me?"

It’s not that she doesn’t know how to put on makeup, she just always feels that it’s not to her liking.

Fan Shengmei was very surprised: "Oh, this is strange, it's the weekend, and you got up early to put on makeup, don't you have a date?"

She is also a woman, so she knows very well that there are not many things that can make a woman put on makeup seriously, and for a girl like Guan Juer, it is most likely for a man.

Guan Ju'er replied shyly, "Just having dinner with a friend."

Fan Shengmei teased, "Then your friend must be a man."

Guan Juer felt even more embarrassed, but still nodded.

"Oh my, our little Guan Guan is actually in love."

"No, Sister Fan, we're not in love, we're just having a meal with friends." Guan Juer waved her hands shyly.

Fan Shengmei smiled like an experienced person and said, "I know, I know. Boyfriends and girlfriends always start with eating together. Tell me what this guy does, how old he is, and whether he is handsome or not."

The person who was having dinner with her was Zhou Chen. Guan Juer didn't have the nerve to say it out loud, so she could only hold Fan Shengmei's hands shyly.
