Guan Juer said rather embarrassedly: "They said they missed me a lot. If you are free, let's go back this weekend or next weekend to visit them."
"Oh, I see. Of course, no problem. But I have something to deal with this weekend. Let's do it next weekend. I will definitely be free next weekend."
Guan Juer listened and was very happy: "Then we can drive back by ourselves then?"
"Sure, anyway, Magic City is not that far from Xi City. It only takes more than two hours to drive there."
"Then I will go back and tell my parents in the evening. They will definitely be very happy."
"Okay."
After saying this, Zhou Chen asked Guan Juer, "Guan Guan, are Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan dating again?"
Guan Juer was simple-minded and didn't know why Zhou Chen asked this question, but she still answered truthfully.
"Since the incident with Sister Fan's father, they have indeed been in contact again, but I'm not sure whether they have established a relationship. Brother Chen, why did you suddenly ask this question? Didn't you say that it's best to stay out of Sister Fan's business?"
"I don't want to take care of Fan Shengmei's affairs, but Wang Baichuan. He called me today and said he wanted to treat me to dinner."
"Ah? Wang Baichuan invited you, Brother Chen, to dinner. Are they familiar with each other?"
"It's strange because we're not familiar with each other."
Looking at Guan Juer's confused look, Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly. After all, she was protected too well and had little experience in the world, so she couldn't understand many things.
Wang Baichuan was not familiar with him, but he called him and did not discuss the matter over the phone. The meaning was already quite obvious. In all likelihood, he wanted to ask for a favor.
"Then did you agree?"
"Promised, tomorrow night."
The reason he agreed was that Wang Baichuan left a good impression on him last time and made him feel the same way. If Wang Baichuan was capable, it would be okay for him to lend a hand.
But whether Wang Bochuan can impress him depends on his actual actions. After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and he is not doing charity work.
"By the way, Guan Guan, don't tell Fan Shengmei about this."
"I know what you mean, Brother Chen, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Chapter 462: Support, Wang Baichuan, who loves to show off
In Qu Xiaoxiao's company office, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Baichuan who was sitting opposite her with surprise.
"It's not easy for you to meet Zhou Chen alone, Wang Baichuan."
Wang Baichuan smiled and said, "I actually didn't expect Jay Chou to agree. I was just thinking that business was not going well and I wanted to learn from him. I didn't expect Jay Chou to be so easy to talk to. I tried to make an appointment and he actually agreed."
Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, "I've already inquired about Zhou Chen's situation. I heard that he is aloof and ruthless. It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to take his shortcut."
"Is it that exaggerated? I feel like Jay Chou is very easy to get along with."
Wang Baichuan looked skeptical. He had met Zhou Chen once and Zhou Chen left a very good impression on him. He was not like what Qu Xiaoxiao said at all.
"whispering sound."
Qu Xiaoxiao showed disdain on her face. When it comes to judging people, she thought she was much better than Wang Baichuan. She knew what kind of person Zhou Chen was better than Wang Baichuan.
Wang Baichuan didn't care, but said: "Mr. Qu, I hope you can go with me this time. If we can work together and get some work from Mr. Jay, it will definitely be many times better than us looking for work everywhere."
Ever since he came back from Tongshi, he had been in contact with Qu Xiaoxiao. The two sides had collaborated twice and both times felt pretty good, so Wang Baichuan thought of bringing Qu Xiaoxiao along.
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "You are too naive. How big is Chenxing Group? How big are the two of us? It is almost impossible to get a job from Chenxing Group."
Her small company is worth only a few million, and Wang Baichuan is even worse than her. Just the two of them are not qualified to discuss cooperation with Chenxing Group.
Wang Baichuan said with mysterious confidence: "Everything depends on human effort. Even if it doesn't work out this time, it's good to be able to get closer to Jay Chou. A big shot like him might think of us next time he has work to do. His one chance might be enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives."
"Okay, since you said so, I'll go with you."
Qu Xiaoxiao is not the indecisive person. Since Wang Baichuan dares to give it a try, there is nothing she dare not do.
The hotel that Wang Baichuan booked is a relatively famous hotel in Shanghai, with a quiet environment and exquisite decoration.
As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at the private room, Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up immediately, and Wang Baichuan walked quickly towards Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Jay, welcome, please take a seat."
Zhou Chen shook hands with Wang Baichuan, and the three of them sat down separately.
Wang Baichuan took the lead and said, "Mr. Jay, I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered something random. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll ask the waiter to bring it."
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Wang, I don't mind eating."
"Mr. Zhou, just call me Xiao Wang. It is my greatest honor that you have given me face to come here. If I cannot entertain you well, I will feel bad."
"Mr. Wang, you don't have to be so polite. We all know each other and we are all friends. There is no need to be so formal."
Qu Xiaoxiao is a person who can liven up the atmosphere. She smiled and said, "Brother Wang, Jay Chou is right. We are all friends. Let's relax a little."
Wang Baichuan gave Qu Xiaoxiao a grateful look. He felt that bringing Qu Xiaoxiao here today was a very correct decision. If he was alone, he would definitely be very restrained facing Zhou Chen.
There was already a huge gap in their status, and today he was asking for help, so it was hard for him not to be reserved.
But with the addition of Qu Xiaoxiao who could liven up the atmosphere, the dinner party became more or less relaxed.
"Okay, Mr. Jay, Mr. Qu, let's eat and talk at the same time."
Although Wang Baichuan seemed very nervous in front of Fan Shengmei, he was still quite talkative at this time. Plus, there was also Qu Xiaoxiao, so even though there were only three of them at the dinner, they had a good chat.
Seeing that Wang Baichuan was slow to get to the point, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. In terms of business negotiation experience, Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao combined were not even a fraction of his.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and then Wang Baichuan told Zhou Chen his purpose with flattery.
"Mr. Jay, to be honest, I asked you to meet today because I have something to ask of you."
"Oh."
Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "Mr. Wang, just say it. If I can help you, I will never refuse."
Wang Baichuan gathered his emotions for a moment, then said, "Business is getting harder and harder nowadays. Mr. Jay, you know my situation, and you have a wide network of contacts. Could you give me some pointers?"
Zhou Chen showed a smile that was not a smile. He had already guessed Wang Baichuan's purpose, so he was not surprised.
"You are in the OEM business. I don't really know much about this area, so I'm afraid it's hard for me to give you any useful advice. In fact, I think you should go to Mr. Wei. He is in the hardware business and he must have a lot of connections in this area. He can help you."
Wang Baichuan's face turned bitter. Of course he knew this and he had thought about contacting Wei Wei.
However, after communicating with Wei Wei several times, he found that Wei Wei was more polite on the surface. When it came to business, he would always be evasive and his meaning was obvious.
Seeing Wang Baichuan's situation, Qu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to say: "Mr. Zhou, you are too modest. Mr. Wei is very powerful, but compared to you, he is still far behind, and it's not that I speak ill of others behind his back. Mr. Wei can You are as refreshing as Jay Chou."
"I don't need to give me such a high hat. Mr. Wei is a real businessman. If you want to cooperate with him, as long as you show him enough benefits, I don't think he will refuse. After all, you are doing business. The business makes money, and if there is money to be made, who would refuse?"
"That being said, I just feel that following you is more reliable and reassuring, Brother Wang, don't you agree?"
"Yes, Mr. Qu is right. Mr. Jay, if it's convenient for you, please take care of me."
Wang Baichuan's attitude had already been put to the ground, but he didn't feel it was wrong at all. He had encountered countless difficult clients when doing business with people over the years.
At least Zhou Chen was countless times more polite than those clients who deliberately tried to embarrass him.
Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao had already discussed before they came that they would cooperate with each other, so after Wang Baichuan finished speaking, Qu Xiaoxiao took over.
"Mr. Jay, I see that many parts of your Chenxing mobile phone are outsourced. Please give us a chance. Our large and delicate parts may not meet your requirements, but we can still undertake some small parts."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao: "You two are quite ambitious."
Although Chenxing mobile phones cannot yet compare with the top domestic giants, their sales worldwide are also very good. It has not yet reached the end of this year, but more than 40 million units have been sold, and there will be more in the coming year.
These two people actually want to take over the parts processing for Chenxing mobile phones. They really dare to think big.
Qu Xiaoxiao and Wang Baichuan both laughed dryly. The more shameless Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. Jay, this is just a small matter for you, but for us, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please help us and give us a chance. We promise not to let you down."
Wang Baichuan also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Jay, I know our idea is too much, but I still want to give it a try. I hope you can give it a chance."
If they were not acquaintances, Zhou Chen would have left by now. These two people were really too whimsical.
With their level, the processing plant they found would definitely not be comparable to the current parts factory of Chenxing Mobile Phone. The next year would be crucial for Chenxing Mobile Phone. He would not allow any problem to occur in any link. How could he possibly hand over such an important part as parts processing to others?
"Mr. Wang, Ms. Qu, although I am the chairman of Chenxing Group, I do not interfere with the operations of the various branches. If you want to compete, I can introduce you to the person in charge of Chenxing's mobile phone department. You can talk to him in detail."
When Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao heard Zhou Chen's official answer, they felt disappointed.
In front of Zhou Chen, they can still beg for mercy because they know each other, but if it comes to someone else, who cares who you are?
Seeing the disappointment on the two men's faces, Zhou Chen remained indifferent. Friendship was friendship, and business was business. Besides, he was not very familiar with these two people.
However, looking at Wang Baichuan, Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of himself in the real world.
"Mr. Wang, I can't make the decision on the matter of mobile phone parts OEM by myself, but I do have an opportunity here, but it's different from the OEM factory intermediary you used to do. I wonder if you are interested?"
Wang Baichuan, who was almost in despair, suddenly became overjoyed when he heard Zhou Chen's words, which made him feel that the situation had taken a turn for the better.
"Interested, interested, Mr. Jay, go ahead."
Qu Xiaoxiao was also surprised, but her expression was much better than Wang Baichuan's disappointment just now, because she didn't have high expectations in the beginning.
But she was surprised to hear that Zhou Chen was willing to give her another chance.
Zhou Chen said, "You know Chenxing Pharmaceutical, some time ago, one of its suppliers had problems and the cooperation was terminated. Until now, it has not found a new supplier. The opportunity I give you is that you can go to those suppliers to discuss cooperation. Whether it is one or several medicinal materials, as long as you can find qualified goods and the price can meet your expectations, I can let you cooperate with Chenxing Pharmaceutical."
"Medicine?"
The joy on Wang Baichuan's face faded a little. He had previously been an agent for the production of spare parts, which had nothing to do with the medicinal materials business. He himself knew nothing about this line of work, so he had no confidence at all.
"Yes, it's the medicinal herbs, Mr. Wang. This is the only chance I can give you, but whether you do it or not is up to you."
This matter is not easy, but Zhou Chen is not deliberately making things difficult for Wang Baichuan. If he wanted to make things difficult for him, he could have simply not mentioned it. He mentioned it because he wanted to give Wang Baichuan a chance.
Although it is a cross-industry business, it is ultimately still similar to a middleman, and Wang Baichuan has a foundation in this.
Qu Xiaoxiao kept winking at Wang Baichuan. Although she didn't know anything about medicinal materials, the key was to do business with Zhou Chen. If she succeeded in doing business with someone like Zhou Chen, would she still have to think about the benefits?
Wang Baichuan soon figured it out. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Jay, I'll do it."
Zhou Chen said, "Okay, I'll send you a call later. Go to Chenxing Pharmaceutical and someone will tell you what medicinal materials we need, what conditions, and what price. As long as you can negotiate successfully, you can get a portion of the commission, which will not be worse than what you are doing now."
"Thank you, Mr. Jay."
After finishing the story, Zhou Chen stayed for a while and then left.
Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately. The initial deal was not concluded, but there was another opportunity. Although it had nothing to do with their business, Qu Xiaoxiao did not want to give up, so the two began to discuss how to complete it.
Zhou Chen didn't care what Wang Baichuan did. He just gave him this opportunity because he felt moved by Wang Baichuan.
As for whether Wang Baichuan could grasp it, that was not within his consideration.
After handing over the matter, Zhou Chen no longer cared about it, but Wang Baichuan and Qu Xiaoxiao were not idle.
The two of them went to Chenxing Pharmaceutical the next day, met with the person Zhou Chen mentioned, and learned about the medicinal materials and other information that Chenxing Pharmaceutical needed.
After finding out, Qu Xiaoxiao and Wang Baichuan began to ask people, especially Qu Xiaoxiao, who had a wider network of contacts in Shanghai, but not as good at understanding other places.
Both of them knew that if they succeeded in making this deal, it would definitely help them take off, so they worked very hard.
Wang Baichuan even flew around looking for suitable partners.
After just over a week, things were not going smoothly. They contacted several medicinal herb dealers, but were either looked down upon, asked for too high a price, or the supply was too small, and in the end, no deal was reached.
Wang Baichuan had just returned today after being away for a long time. Before he could even sit down, he received a call from Fan Shengmei.
Since experiencing the last family change, Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei officially started dating. Wang Baichuan also promised Fan Shengmei that he would work hard to make money, buy a house in Shanghai, and get married after buying the house.
After what happened at home, Fan Shengmei became somewhat disheartened and no longer as powerful as before, so she accepted Wang Baichuan.
Especially after Wang Baichuan promised to buy them a house of their own in Shanghai, he felt extremely excited.
She has lived in Shanghai for so many years, and her dream has always been to have her own house, her own home.
She used to have bigger ambitions, but now she has realized that she cannot be too ambitious, so even though she is not very satisfied with Wang Baichuan's wealth, as long as she can have her own house, she can accept it.
The two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.
"Wang Baichuan, what have you been busy with recently? Why did you only return to the Magic City now?"
After the two met, Fan Shengmei started complaining immediately. They had already established a romantic relationship, so she was naturally unhappy after not seeing each other for such a long time.
In this relationship, Wang Bochuan was the one with a relatively lower status. When he heard Fan Shengmei's complaint, he immediately explained.
"Xiao Mei, I recently received a big order, so I'm so busy."
"What big order, flying here and there?"
Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, they kept calling each other. She also knew that Wang Baichuan had been to many places these days.
