"what happened?"
Zhou Chen said: "Taozi, I see you like wedding dresses very much, why don't you come work for me? It just so happens that I am short of a store manager, and I think you are the most suitable person."
"what?"
Yang Tao didn't expect Zhou Chen to say such a thing, and she replied somewhat at a loss: "I'm doing well now, and I've never been a bridal shop manager before, it's not suitable, it's really not suitable."
"I think it's a good fit, a very good fit. I couldn't ask for a beautiful woman like you to be my store manager. What's more, if you come here, we can spend every day together, and it will be more convenient for us to meet."
As he was talking, Zhou Chen took action and grabbed Yang Tao's hand and placed it in his palm. Yang Tao blushed and wanted to pull her hand back, but Zhou Chen held it so tightly that she couldn't pull it back at all.
"Taozi, I really want you to come over. If you come, you can realize your dream and help me make money. It's the best of both worlds."
"it's not good."
Although Yang Tao was tempted, when she thought about their current relationship, she felt that it would be awkward to work under Zhou Chen, so she refused.
Zhou Chen took a step forward, Yang Tao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took a step back. Zhou Chen took another step closer, and she took another step back.
"Boom!"
Suddenly Yang Tao bumped into the wall, with no way to retreat. Looking at Zhou Chen who was only a few centimeters away from her, her heart beat faster.
How could Zhou Chen give up such an opportunity? He grabbed Yang Tao's hand, lowered his head slightly, and slowly approached Yang Tao.
Yang Tao's heart beat faster when she saw Zhou Chen getting closer. When Zhou Chen's breath touched her cheek, she suddenly woke up, pushed Zhou Chen away, and quickly hid aside.
"No, no."
"Why not, Taozi, don't you understand what I'm thinking?"
"It's too fast. I feel like we've only known each other for over a month and we haven't gotten to know each other in depth yet. This can't happen."
Zhou Chen smiled, "I understand, Taozi, don't worry, I respect you and won't force you. Time will prove my determination."
"Ah."
…………
In the following days, Zhou Chen specially invited Guoran to dinner several times, because Guoran helped a lot in this matter and he helped find people to get various certificates.
Friends always help each other. As expected, since he helped so much, it would be too little for him to treat us to a few meals.
"Our store is in... You can come and have a look tomorrow. We can discuss the specific salary details in person."
Zhou Chen has been busy recruiting these days. The receptionist and assistant are okay, but photographers and makeup artists are not so easy to find. He has interviewed more than a dozen people, and only two of them satisfied him in the end. However, the specific work and salary have not been negotiated yet.
As for the store manager, he wanted Yang Tao to be the one, but Yang Tao has not left the hotel yet, so he needs to find a deputy store manager to take temporary control.
In the world of the previous Xiao Shede, the recruitment and negotiation matters were basically handled by Nan Li, and he was responsible for controlling the general direction. Now that it was his turn to do it personally, he realized how troublesome this kind of thing was.
Every position is indispensable. Even if it is a small front desk, if you hire an unprofessional person, it will definitely affect the business, not to mention professional photographers, makeup artists, store managers and the like.
As soon as I hung up the phone, another call came in.
"Hey, Taozi, are you off work?"
"Okay, I'll pick you up now."
Although he is very busy these days, he still meets with Yang Tao every two or three days. Now Yang Tao has completely accepted him. Although there has been no other progress except holding hands, at this frequency, follow-up is only a matter of time.
After picking up Yang Tao from the community, the two first went to have dinner and then went to see a movie, which was still a romantic movie as usual.
This made Zhou Chen sigh that there will never be a shortage of romance films in this film market. As soon as one movie is released, the next one will be released. After all, it is easiest to make money from couples these days.
Zhou Chen and Yang Tao crossed their fingers and clasped them tightly, eating popcorn while waiting for the movie to begin.
Looking at the name of the film company at the beginning of the movie, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
The largest film production company is called Brothers Huayi. This name made him think of an entertainment company in the real world with a name similar to this one. More importantly, this company was one of the stocks he had written down before.
"Coincidence, or chance?"
This year is 2013. If this brother Huayi is similar to the entertainment company in the real world, then this is definitely a very important message for him.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about watching the movie and whispered to Yang Tao: "Taozi, you watch first, I'll check the message on my phone."
"Well, dim the lights so as not to disturb others." Yang Tao said in a low voice.
Zhou Chen dimmed the screen of his phone and started searching for the entertainment company online.
A few minutes later, he was suddenly filled with surprise, because the development trajectory of this entertainment company was very similar to that of an entertainment company in his real world. He also checked the company's stock, which was only over nine yuan.
The stock of that real entertainment company increased several times in just half a year and became a hot stock of the year. Does this brother Huayi also have such potential?
"To gamble, or not to gamble?"
Of course Zhou Chen wants to make money and hopes that his assets will increase, because there is a certain chance that he will be rewarded with a place in the next world.
But this is the world of film and television after all, and the development trajectory is different from that of the real world. Although the two entertainment companies are very similar, he is not sure whether the stock trends will be the same.
So he now faces two choices, buy or not buy.
But this hesitation did not last long. It was such a rare opportunity, I had to buy it even if it was a gamble. The worst that could happen was that I could buy less at the beginning.
After making his choice, Zhou Chen continued to watch the movie with Yang Tao. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he enjoyed watching this romantic film.
At the end, Yang Tao cried again, which made Zhou Chen sigh that she was such a sentimental and kind woman.
After watching the movie, Zhou Chen sent Yang Tao back to the community.
"Taozi, it's been such a long time, and I haven't been up to see where you live. How about inviting me up to have a glass of water?"
After sending Yang Tao back this time, Zhou Chen did not leave immediately. Instead, he smiled and asked Yang Tao.
"Ah? It's so late, why don't we just forget it?"
Yang Tao was a little nervous. Although their relationship had improved rapidly and they could already hold hands, she was still a little worried about letting Zhou Chen go up to her in the middle of the night.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Why, are you still afraid that I have bad intentions? Don't worry, I promise not to do anything bad after I go up there."
"You said it yourself, just go upstairs and drink some water and leave." Yang Tao thought about it and agreed.
"I promise."
Zhou Chen immediately parked the car with a smile, then followed Yang Tao upstairs.

Chapter 87: Remarks on the release and rules for additional updates!
It’s about to be put on the shelves. Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement. After more than forty days, it will be put on the shelves at 12 noon today.
This is my first time putting a book on the shelves. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, so I would like to ask all my fellow book lovers to give me your support and place a first order.
In fact, when I published this novel, I didn’t have high expectations, but because of the support of many book lovers, this novel has come to this day.
In addition to the support of all book friends, I am also very grateful to the editor-in-chief Lu Ming for his strong support. He recommended it all the way from the trial to Sanjiang. I am really grateful.
As I wrote this, I encountered many problems and was almost thrown into disarray by the criticism I received halfway through. Fortunately, I managed to persevere and I am especially grateful to the fellow book friends who have been voting and supporting me.
Now that it’s on the shelves, we naturally have to talk about the issue of adding more chapters, so without further ado, let’s get straight to the point.
First of all, let me talk about rewards. Since the writing of this book, many friends have given me rewards, and I would like to express my gratitude to you here.
From the time it is put on the shelves, there will be at least three updates.
A reward of 5,000 coins will add one chapter; a reward of 10,000 coins will add two chapters; a leader will get 10 chapters; a silver ally will get 50 chapters (dreams are still worth having!!)
Then there is the first order. Now the collection is 1000. It’s the first time I write a book, so I dare not set a high goal, so I’ll just set it at first orders.
If there are more than 1000 orders, there will be one more update for every orders, no upper limit...
Although I'm not typing fast, I'm going to brag a lot today. If I reach my goal, I'll complete the chapter within two days if I add ten chapters or less, within a week if I add ten to twenty chapters, and within a month if I add more than twenty chapters. If my dream really comes true and a silver alliance comes, I'll complete it within a month even if I die suddenly...
Let’s not talk about dreams for now. The first order is really important for a book that has just been put on the shelves. Moreover, you can get coins by watching videos. If you really don’t have coins, you can watch videos to earn some. It is the greatest support for me.
Dear book lovers, come on and show us your first orders...

Chapter 88: A Man's Mouth (First Order)
"This is the house I rented. You've met my mother and you must know her personality. I just couldn't stand her nagging, so I decided to move out."
Yang Tao brought Zhou Chen into the house, poured him a glass of water, and the two sat on the sofa and chatted.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Aunt Xue is a very nice person. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have found such a good opportunity to go on a blind date with you. If I had approached you directly and said I wanted to pursue you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be in this situation today, right?"
Yang Tao smiled shyly and said, "It's possible. After all, you are younger than me. If I were to be pursued by a man a few years younger than me without any preparation, I really wouldn't be able to adapt."
Zhou Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Yang Tao's hand and moved closer to her, but when he moved closer, Yang Tao quickly moved to the side.
"Zhou Chen, I brought you up here because you said you wouldn't do anything bad, so don't go back on your word."
Looking at Yang Tao's face full of vigilance, as if he was guarding against a wolf, Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing.
"There's no need to be so nervous, okay, I'll just drink some water, okay."
"That's pretty much it."
Yang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. She was really nervous just now, afraid that Zhou Chen really wanted to do something to her. What should she do then? Resist, or not resist?
Seeing that Yang Tao was a body distance away from him, Zhou Chen did not dare to get close to him and was speechless. Is he really that scary?
After staying for a while, Zhou Chen looked at the time and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock. You still have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't keep you any longer. I'll go back first."
"Okay, okay."
"Uh, are you so impatient for me to leave?"
Yang Tao was suddenly embarrassed: "No, no, I'm just worried that it would be unsafe for you to go back too late. Yes, I'm worried that you would be unsafe."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You're not worried that I'm unsafe, you're worried that you're unsafe."
Yang Tao argued: "I'm at home, how can it be unsafe?"
Zhou Chen stood up and turned back when he reached the door: "Taozi, I'm leaving soon, why don't you give me a hug?"
"what?"
Zhou Chen didn't give Yang Tao a chance to react. He directly hugged Yang Tao into his arms and held her tightly.
The moment Zhou Chen hugged her, Yang Tao's body suddenly became stiff. She seemed to have lost control of her body and allowed Zhou Chen to do whatever he wanted.
Men are always greedy, and Zhou Chen is no exception.
Seeing that Yang Tao did not resist, he slowly let go of Yang Tao, looked down at Yang Tao, and kissed her.
Yang Tao, who was already confused, was stunned by Zhou Chen's sudden attack. She just stood there stupidly until Zhou Chen's hand put where it shouldn't be, which suddenly woke her up.
Pushing Zhou Chen away, Yang Tao said in panic, "No, we can't do this."
Zhou Chen was in a passionate state, but was suddenly pushed away. He asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Too fast, this is too fast, we can't do this."
Yang Tao seemed to be speaking to Zhou Chen as well as to herself. Then she pushed Zhou Chen's body and pushed him out the door.
"Sorry, I need to rest now. You should go back soon too."
"boom!"
Zhou Chen, who was locked outside, was a little depressed. He stood at the door and said, "Yang Tao, don't be angry. I was impulsive just now and shouldn't have treated you like this, but I couldn't help myself. Really, it's mainly because I like you too much."
Yang Tao was leaning against the door. When she heard Zhou Chen's words, she covered her face and said, "Zhou Chen, I'm not angry. I just think it can't be done so quickly. You should go back quickly."
Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed too aggressive just now, but he did not regret it. The most important thing was that although Yang Tao pushed him away, she was not angry.
With a smile on his face, Zhou Chen walked downstairs. He had made another major breakthrough tonight. Well, it was right to choose to take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, if he had been so reserved, it would take who knows when he would be able to make this breakthrough.
It is necessary to proceed step by step, but it is also necessary to take the initiative to attack.
In a relationship, men have to take the initiative. Otherwise, how can we expect women to take the initiative? Well, if you have money, it seems that there is really no shortage of women taking the initiative...
After this night, Zhou Chen and Yang Tao's relationship improved a lot again. They became more and more relaxed when chatting on the phone. Yang Tao also put herself in the position of a girlfriend and was no longer shy and embarrassed as before.
A few days later, when Zhou Chen was having dinner with Yang Tao, he said, "Taozi, I will probably be busy with the bridal shop in a while, so I won't have much time to spend with you like I do now."
Although the two have not yet made it clear that they are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, in fact, they both regard each other as their partner.
Yang Tao said with understanding: "You are busy opening the business, so you must be busy. Besides, I am an adult now, and I don't need to accompany you every day. Besides, I will help you when I am free."
Zhou Chen: "Taozi, that's not what I meant. I mean, we'll be busy soon. I think we should go out and have some fun before that."
