Guan Juer said: "Sister Fan, Zhou Chen must be busy, I believe him."

After a long while, Guan Juer received Zhou Chen's reply, and immediately ran happily to Andina who was chatting with netizens.

"Sister Andy, Zhou Chen replied. He said he just finished a meeting and hasn't had dinner yet. He will come over after he makes his arrangements."

"That's great."

After the meeting, Zhou Chen asked his secretary Jiang Yuyan to arrange for the senior executives who attended the meeting to have dinner, while he asked his driver Liuzi to take him to Ode to Joy.

When Zhou Chen arrived at Building 19, he happened to meet Xiao Zheng who was getting off work.

"Mr. Jay, you're here, come in."

Xiao Zheng instantly turned into a lackey and carefully opened the door for Zhou Chen.

"get off work?"

"Ah."

"Then you go back first."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first, Mr. Jay."

Zhou Chen walked to the elevator entrance and saw a young couple snuggling together, holding hands and the man carrying vegetables. They looked very harmonious.

Qiu Yingying had been immersed in her world of two with Manager Bai and didn't notice there was someone behind her at all. It was not until Manager Bai heard someone coming and pulled her that she reacted.

"Someone."

Qiu Yingying looked back and immediately shouted, "Zhou Chen, it's you."

Zhou Chen smiled and greeted, "What a coincidence, Xiao Qiu."

His eyes swept over the man next to Qiu Yingying. He knew that this man must be the legendary Manager Bai. He had heard Guan Juer talk about him more than once.

Qiu Yingying pulled her boyfriend over and introduced him to Zhou Chen with a smile: "Zhou Chen, this is Xiao Bai, my boyfriend."

The corners of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched. This guy looked to be almost thirty years old, and yet he was still called Xiaobai.

"Xiao Bai, this is our neighbor downstairs, Zhou Chen, handsome guy Zhou."

"Hello."

Manager Bai smiled at Zhou Chen politely, but he couldn't shake hands with Zhou Chen because he was holding vegetables in both hands.

Zhou Chen knew that this guy was a scumbag and didn't have any good feelings towards him. He just forced a smile and greeted him lukewarmly.

Qiu Yingying was a bit nervous and didn't feel Zhou Chen's attitude at all. She still said happily: "Zhou Chen, Xiao Bai and I are from the same company. We have been together for a while. Why haven't I seen you recently? Didn't you come here?"

Zhou Chen: "I'm busy with work, so I don't come often."

"Oh."

Qiu Yingying understood: "I see. People like you who run a business must be very busy and hard-working. It's normal to have no time. So, making a lot of money is not necessarily a good thing. At least you have very little time to rest."

Looking at Qiu Yingying talking to herself, Zhou Chen was speechless. He really didn't know how this woman grew up. She was so stupid.

"Andy invited us to eat hairy crabs today. I heard that they are big crabs weighing half a pound each, which is quite rare. Our Xiaobai cooks delicious dishes. By the way, did Andy invite you?"

Zhou Chen could only respond: "Yes, I'll go back first and then go up."

"We can wait for you and go up together. I tell you, a dinner party needs more people to be lively..."

"The elevator is here."

The elevator just came down at this time, Zhou Chen hurried in, and Qiu Yingying also pulled Manager Bai in.

"Zhou Chen, don't we really need to wait for you?"

"No, I have something else to do when I get back. I'll go over later. You guys go up first."

"Okay then, you go down first."

The elevator quickly arrived at the 21st floor, and Zhou Chen hurried out of the elevator. It was really uncomfortable to stay in the same elevator with Qiu Yingying.

I wouldn't say she's annoying, it's just that Qiu Yingying is a chatterbox who talks too much and completely disregards your feelings, saying whatever comes to mind.

"We're here. I'll get off first."

"Then we'll wait for you at Andy's place, come up quickly."

Zhou Chen waved his hand without turning his head.

"Xiaochen, why are you here?"

As soon as Zhou Chen got home, he saw his parents eating in the restaurant. After seeing him, his mother Sun Yi asked in surprise.

"Have you eaten yet? Mom will serve you some."

"No, Mom."

Zhou Chen walked to the table and sat down next to Sun Yi. "I had a meeting all day today and didn't plan to come here. Andy and the others upstairs were eating crabs and asked me to come. I missed you guys, so I came here."

"Those girls upstairs?" Sun Yi's eyes lit up.

"Ah."

Zhou Guofu said in surprise: "Usually you don't go when someone invites you to dinner, why did you change your ways today?"

"Is it because you have a crush on one of them?" Sun Yi asked immediately.

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I treated you last time and they gave me face. I have to give them face this time too. I'll chat with you for a while and then go upstairs. I just happened to have something to talk to Dad about."

"What do you want from me?"

"Didn't you say last time that I would let you know the next time I go to Yanjing? It just so happens that I have some things to deal with at my branch office in Yanjing, so I'm just wondering if you have time to go with me."

Zhou Guofu immediately became interested and asked, "When?"

"Just recently, maybe within two weeks."

"Then I'll take a look at the course."

Qiu Yingying brought Manager Bai to Andy's door and knocked on it nervously.

Guan Juer was cleaning the table and putting the dishes on the table. Andy stayed in the room. Fan Shengmei was closest to the door. When she heard the sound, she immediately walked over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Qiu Yingying impatiently pulled Manager Bai in and solemnly introduced him to several people.

"This is my boyfriend, Xiaobai."

Then he pointed at Andy and the others and introduced them: "Xiaobai, this is Sister Fan, Guan Juer, and Andy."

She looked around the room and asked in confusion, "Where's Qu Xiaoxiao?"

Guan Juer pointed to the sofa: "It's there."

Qiu Yingying immediately walked over with laughter, and when she saw Qu Xiaoxiao's enchanting sleeping posture, she laughed even louder.

"No way, why is she sleeping here?"

Andy and the other two were staring at Manager Bai. Although Manager Bai was a scumbag, he was quite nervous and restrained when he was suddenly stared at by several beautiful women.

Neither Andy nor Guan Juer were good at talking, so in the end it was Fan Shengmei who asked the dialogue supervisor, "I heard from Qiu Yingying that you want to cook? I'm so sorry to ask you to cook on our first meeting. I've already steamed the crabs, so I'll leave the rest to you?"

Manager Bai immediately smiled and replied, "No problem. We just happened to have bought a lot of vegetables. Should I start now?"

Fan Shengmei praised: "Men who can cook are good men, little earthworm, go over and help."

Qiu Yingying volunteered, "Don't worry, just wait for the delicious food."

As she spoke, she pulled Manager Bai towards the kitchen. Halfway there, she suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, we met Zhou Chen when we got here just now. He said he would come up later."

"Oh, we called him."

Andy responded, Fan Shengmei pulled Andy and Guan Juer to the room, and then whispered.

"In my opinion, this Xiao Bai is really not that good. The little earthworm said he is a handsome guy, but he is only slightly worse than Zhou Chen. You mean slightly worse? There is no comparison at all. Just like you said, she is really a beauty in the eyes of the beholder."

Andy said helplessly: "Keep your voice down, people are helping with the cooking, and you are still criticizing them."

Fan Shengmei said, "I am being realistic, okay? Guan Guan, tell me, how does this Manager Bai compare to your Zhou Chen?"

Guan Juer: "Sister Fan, don't say that. Zhou Chen is not mine. I think this Manager Bai is pretty good-looking."

"You call this okay?" Fan Shengmei firmly disagreed.

"Compared to Zhou Chen, you are far behind. You don't have to be modest. Zhou Chen will be here soon. The two of you will stand together. We will see then."

Zhou Chen stayed at home for half an hour before leisurely going up to the 22nd floor.

At this time Qu Xiaoxiao was also woken up. Several people were gathered together and whispering about Manager Bai. Everyone had their own opinion. Except for Andy and Guan Juer who didn't say anything, Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao both thought that Manager Bai was not good and belittled him in various ways.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door. Guan Juer reacted the fastest. She was the first to stand up and rushed to the door, leaving Qu Xiaoxiao stunned.

"What's going on? Why is Xiao Guanguan so active?"

Fan Shengmei said with a meaningful look in her eyes: "Of course the handsome guy is here."

Andy glared at Fan Shengmei, then warned Qu Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Qu, I invited Zhou Chen, so don't mess around later."

Qu Xiaoxiao, who was originally feeling a little sleepy, suddenly became full of energy when she heard the name Zhou Chen.

"What? Handsome Zhou is coming. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Guan Juer opened the door, and standing at the door was Zhou Chen, whom she had been thinking about for a long time. Her face was immediately filled with a happy smile.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly when he saw Guan Juer: "Am I not late?"

"No, we haven't started yet, come in."

"Hey, handsome Zhou is here."

As soon as he walked in, he saw Qu Xiaoxiao walking towards him, staring at Zhou Chen with a charming tone.

Zhou Chen greeted her indifferently: "Miss Qu."

"Ms. Fan, Ms. Andy, I'm sorry to bother you so late. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Zhou Chen handed Andy a set of tableware he had brought.

Andy said politely: "You are too polite, it's just a gathering among friends."

Qu Xiaoxiao squeezed in front of Zhou Chen and said in a tender voice: "Handsome Zhou, what are you busy with recently? I sent you so many messages, why didn't you reply to any of them?"

When Guan Ju saw Qu Xiaoxiao's attitude, her face turned red with anger.

Zhou Chen said, "I'm sorry, Miss Qu. I've been a little busy lately. I have to take care of my work and my girlfriend, so I don't have time to reply to your message. I'm sorry."

"Didn't you say you didn't have a girlfriend?"

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard this, she was stunned and asked anxiously.

Zhou Chen: "I didn't have a girlfriend last time, but now I have one."

"Yes, it is now available."

Guan Juer took Zhou Chen's arm as if to claim sovereignty, and said with courage: "Qu Xiaoxiao, I am Zhou Chen's girlfriend."

Although she and Zhou Chen have not yet officially established a relationship, she couldn't help it when she saw Qu Xiaoxiao trying to seduce Zhou Chen. She felt that this was the only way to stop Qu Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

Zhou Chen did not refuse, but just looked at Guan Juer gently, agreeing with what she said.

"No way, Guan Guan, the person you're dating recently is handsome Zhou?"

Qiu Yingying reacted faster than Qu Xiaoxiao. She screamed and looked at Guan Juer in disbelief.

Although Guan Juer's face flushed, she still said firmly: "Yes, that's right."

Qu Xiaoxiao was also in disbelief and pointed at Guan Juer: "You and Zhou Chen are in love? No way, you two are not a good match at all, okay."

Without waiting for Guan Juer to speak, Zhou Chen held her hand and said to Qu Xiaoxiao in a calm tone: "Whether we get along or not is our own business. Miss Qu, you are meddling too much."

"No."

Qu Xiaoxiao was obviously not convinced. Zhou Chen was her target, but he ended up being together with Guan Juer without saying a word. She really couldn't bear this anger.

"Okay, Xiaoqu, Xiaoguan is indeed with Zhou Chen, so stop making a fuss."

Andy was afraid that Qu Xiaoxiao would ruin tonight's banquet, so he quickly stood up and pulled Qu Xiaoxiao aside.

Fan Shengmei smiled and advised: "Yes, Xiaoqu, Guan Guan and Zhou Chen are together, we should bless them. The woman on the 22nd floor is finally single again."

No matter how depressed or bad-tempered Qu Xiaoxiao was, she could only sit aside and sulk when she saw that Zhou Chen ignored her and Andy and Fan Shengmei seemed to be on Guan Juer's side.

The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. It would be fine if Zhou Chen found someone else, but he chose Guan Juer, which made her very dissatisfied.
