The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Sister Fan..."

Fan Shengmei was made to laugh by Guan Juer, but after teasing her for a while, she began to teach Guan Juer how to put on makeup.

"Guan Guan, you definitely can't have dinner with a man like this. Look at your eyebrows, and the powder isn't evenly applied. Let me help you..."

Although Fan Shengmei is a materialistic and realistic person, she is barely an expert in vainness, so it is easy for her to teach Guan Juer, a newbie.

While helping Guan Juer put on makeup, Fan Shengmei explained to her. She really liked playing the role of the eldest sister, so she was very enthusiastic in teaching Guan Juer how to put on makeup.

It was past ten o'clock when the two of them finished putting on their makeup, and at this time, Qiu Yingying had just gotten up.

When she walked out of the room yawning and saw Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer, she screamed in fright.

"Ah, Sister Fan, look, what happened to Guan Guan?"

Guan Juer put on makeup, although her clothes didn't match well with her in Fan Shengmei's opinion, she looked much better than before when she didn't wear much makeup.

Guan Juer is very tall, almost 1.7 meters, with a slender figure. Under the guidance of Fan Shengmei, she put on suitable clothes and felt immediately different.

Fan Shengmei laughed and said, "Little earthworm, you are not the only one who has Manager Bai. Guan Guan is also liked by someone. She is going out on a date with a boy."

"Sister Fan, don't talk nonsense, I just went out to have dinner with my friends." Guan Juer looked embarrassed.

Qiu Yingying exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, Guan Guan, you have a boyfriend too?"

She has been getting very close to Manager Bai in the company recently, and she keeps talking about Manager Bai all day long. She has completely fallen in love with him and cannot extricate herself.

Guan Juer was too embarrassed to speak, and finally Fan Shengmei came to the rescue: "Guan Guan, I'm going out, will you come with me?"

Guan Guan said: "No need, Sister Fan, I have an appointment with a friend, he will come to pick me up later."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

As she said that, she picked up her bag, twisted her waist and walked out of the room.

Zhou Chen showed up at the underground parking lot of Ode to Joy on time at 11 o'clock. Not long after he arrived, he saw Guan Juer walking out of the elevator.

"here."

Zhou Chen waved at Guan Juer, and Guan Juer immediately walked towards that direction.

Guan Juer today is different from the previous times we met. Although she is still wearing glasses, she looks like a completely different person, refreshed.

"you look pretty today."

Zhou Chen admired sincerely that Guan Juer was not particularly beautiful, and her facial features were not particularly delicate. At least among the women he had been with in the past, she might not even be ranked average.

But Guan Juer is very tall, has fair skin, and has a scholarly air. She is gentle and fragile, which adds to her lovable temperament.

Guan Juer's cheeks suddenly turned red when Zhou Chen praised her, and she whispered, "Thank you."

Knowing that Guan Juer was shy and couldn't let go, Zhou Chen didn't say anything more.

"Let's get in the car first. I've already booked a restaurant. Let's go straight there."

Zhou Chen opened the car door for Guan Juer, and Guan Juer carefully got into the passenger seat.

This was her third time riding in Zhou Chen’s car, but it was her first time sitting in the passenger seat. The view from sitting in the front and sitting in the back were completely different.

The car quickly drove out of Ode to Joy. After a while, Guan Juer asked in a low voice: "Zhou Chen, where are we going?"

Zhou Chen turned his head and smiled at her, saying: "Just follow me, don't worry, I won't sell you out."

After hearing Zhou Chen's joke, Guan Juer's nervous mood slowly relaxed. It was her first time to eat alone with a boy, which made her nervous and happy.

When arriving at the destination, Guan Ju was shocked, because this was the very famous Shangri-La in Shanghai. It was relatively high-end. She had been in Shanghai for several years and had never been to this place.

Especially when Zhou Chen brought her to the Jade Restaurant on the 36th floor, she whispered, "Zhou Chen, this place is too expensive, let's go somewhere else."

Looking at Guan Juer who looked nervous, Zhou Chen comforted her: "Don't worry, this place is not like the rumors say. No matter how expensive it is, it's just a place to eat."

Jade Restaurant is a French western restaurant with higher standards than ordinary restaurants. Ordinary wage earners rarely come to such places.

But actually, it’s not that scary as long as you don’t order anything too expensive.

Nowadays, who in Shanghai can’t come up with a few thousand yuan?

The only difference is whether you are willing to spend money or not. After all, not everyone is willing to spend so much money just for a meal.

Zhou Chen had already booked a seat, so he went directly to that seat under the guidance of the waiter.

"Look, order whatever you want, you're welcome."

Zhou Chen handed the menu to Guan Juer. Guan Juer took it and looked at it for a few seconds. She was immediately shocked. The prices were really too expensive.

She didn't dare to order the expensive ones, so she just ordered two cheap ones and handed them to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at it without saying anything, and then quickly ordered a few more items.

"Want to drink?"

"No, no need."

"That's it."

Zhou Chen handed the menu to the waiter.

When no one else was around, Guan Juer whispered to Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, do you come here often?"

Zhou Chen said: "No, actually this is my first time here. I usually eat more Chinese food and rarely eat Western food. But today I'm inviting you to dinner, so of course I have to choose a place with a good environment. I saw that the environment here is good, so I chose this place."

"Actually, I don't really need to. I'm not particular about food. Any small restaurant will do."

"How can I just randomly pick a small restaurant when I ask a girl out for dinner for the first time? That would make me look very stingy."

"Miss Guan, you really don't have to be so reserved."

Guan Juer said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this is my first time in a place like this, and..., that's why I'm so nervous."

Zhou Chen comforted her: "It's okay, relax a little, but you look pretty cute like this."

This sudden remark made Guan Juer, who was already nervous, blush.

"He said I was cute, he said I was cute, this, this..."

Guan Juer's mind was in a mess and she completely lost the ability to think. This was the first time a boy praised her for being cute in person, which completely confused her.

Looking at Guan Juer with her head lowered, Zhou Chen found it very interesting. He had never seen such a shy girl before.

It would be fine if she was just a child, but Guan Juer is 22 years old and has graduated from college, and she is still so shy. It is really rare.

Seeing Guan Juer like this, Zhou Chen did not make any more moves, but changed the subject and asked, "How is your work going recently? Are you still too busy?"

"It's okay, just..."

Speaking of work, Guan Juer felt a little better and was able to talk to Zhou Chen normally.

The two were chatting, and the food came up quickly. Zhou Chen was very considerate and helped Guan Juer prepare the food.

Watching Zhou Chen cutting the steak seriously, Guan Juer's eyes flashed with a strange light. Serious men are really handsome, not to mention that the man in front of her was cutting steak for her.

Guan Juer's heart was beating 'bang bang'. She had never felt this way before. She didn't know what this feeling was, but she knew that she was fascinated by Zhou Chen in front of her.

After placing the cut steak in front of Guan Juer and preparing the food, Zhou Chen said softly, "Eat. This place is quite famous and the food should be pretty good. Try it."

The steak on the plate was cut very neatly, and it was obvious that it was made with great care. Guan Juer whispered, "Thank you."

Chapter 415 Concert, confession to Guan Juer

Guan Juer ate in small bites. Although the food here was more expensive, she had to admit that it was much better than the average Western restaurant.

"Yingying has been in a relationship recently. She is with a manager in their company. His last name is Bai. We all call him Manager Bai. Yingying said he is very handsome. I don't know if it is true or not."

Guan Juer slowly relaxed and began to talk to Zhou Chen about the situation on the 22nd floor. Because she really didn't know what to say to Zhou Chen, she could only talk about the people and things she usually came into contact with.

"And Sister Fan, she also went on a blind date today, and I don't know if it will be successful. I really hope Sister Fan can find a boyfriend, because her life is really hard."

"I've been working out with Andy recently, and I even ride in her car when I go to work. Although Andy looks distant, she's actually a very nice person. She's also very smart, and she can understand a lot of things I don't understand."

"I've met Qu Xiaoxiao a few times, but most of the time I saw her coming back drunk. Sister Fan said she went to the bar to have fun."

"........."

Zhou Chen listened to Guan Juer's narration very patiently. He seldom heard such trivial matters about family matters.

He is usually very busy with work, and even when he eats with others, most of the time they talk about work or other things. Basically no one talks to him about these family matters.

Even his parents, who are intellectuals, rarely talk about others behind their backs. At most, they would talk about some relatives' matters, and they rarely mention them in front of him.

So when he listened to Guan Juer talk about these things, he found it very interesting and down-to-earth.

As they talked, they turned the topic to work. Guan Juer said that the job was too tiring. It was completely different from the major she studied in college. She had to learn everything from scratch, and she was working in a big company and the competitive pressure was very high.

"Have you ever thought about quitting your job and finding a job you like?" Zhou Chen asked.

Guan Juer was stunned for a moment, then said in a naive tone: "I haven't really thought about this, because this job was found by my parents with the help of someone else, and I don't want to disappoint them, so even if it is very difficult, I will still persevere."

"You have the right idea."

Zhou Chen agreed with Guan Juer's decision. Today's college graduates are all very ambitious and always think that God is the boss and he is the second. When looking for a job, they want to find an easy job that pays well.

But there are not so many good things. How many college students can find jobs that match their majors? How many can find jobs that pay well right from the start?

Ninety percent of new graduates have to start from scratch and work their way up, but most of them can't make it.

Like Guan Juer, she faced difficulties and did not escape, no matter what the reason was, but this kind of courage and determination is stronger than many people.

However, the fact that they were able to arrange for Guan Juer to intern in a Fortune 500 company also shows that Guan Juer's parents should have some strength and connections.

The two of them finished their meal leisurely. After the meal, Zhou Chen asked Guan Juer, "Xiao Guan, do you have any plans later?"

"Arrangements? No." Guan Juer shook her head.

Zhou Chen said: "Are you interested in the concert?"

Guan Juer's eyes lit up and she nodded, "I like music very much, especially classical music, and I often attend small concerts."

"That's perfect. I'm planning to go to a private concert this afternoon. This concert has invited several famous orchestras from home and abroad. There are classical music, pop music, folk music, etc. It can be said to be a very professional concert. Only professionals in the industry can participate. There is a threshold. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhou Chen looked at Guan Juer with a smile. The reason he brought up this topic was because he knew that Guan Juer liked music very much.

When pursuing a woman, intelligence comes first. With intelligence, you can prescribe the right medicine.

"really?"

Guan Juer was indeed interested and asked Zhou Chen with a little excitement.

After listening to what Zhou Chen said, she knew that this private concert was very high-end. She had only participated in some amateur concerts before, and had never participated in a high-end concert, so she was naturally curious and looking forward to it.

"But since it's a private concert, can I come in?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course it's no problem. I have acquaintances there, so I can definitely get in. So we have a deal, and we'll go over there later?"

"I can."

Guan Juer agreed without hesitation. She loved music and she had no reason to refuse since she could listen to music with someone she admired.

"Then let's go there after dinner. The concert actually started in the morning and will last all day."

After they packed up, they left the restaurant and drove to the concert.

When the car arrived at the destination, Guan Ju was immediately surprised.

"Zhou Chen, isn't this Shanghai Jiaotong University?"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes, it is Jiaotong University. This concert is held here."

After saying hello to the security guard at the door, he drove in. This place was like his home; he could come and go as he pleased.

"Zhou Chen, you are very familiar with this place. The security guards all know you."

"Of course, I graduated from here and I often come back after graduation, so the security guards here all know me."

"Are you a graduate of Jiaotong University?"

Guan Juer looked at Zhou Chen in shock. Jiaotong University is the top university in Shanghai, countless times better than her undergraduate university.

"Yes, come to think of it, the year I was admitted to Jiaotong University, I was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our province."

Guan Juer was even more shocked: "If you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination, why don't you go to Huaqing University or Peking University?"

Zhou Chen: "Maybe it's because I like the city of Magic City more."

"Oh."
