Chen Zhe wanted to ask Zhang Xinrui about Mu Wanzhi and the Tang family, but Zhang Xinrui was evasive and didn't get to the point.
"Chen Zhe, you shouldn't know too much about Aunt Mu's affairs. Knowing too much won't do you any good."
Hearing her say that, Chen Zhe stopped pressing the matter. After all, that woman didn't seem simple, and it probably wasn't easy to find out about her. It seemed better to go back and ask Sister Hu later.
Are you going back to work later?
Zhang Xinrui hesitated for a moment before asking.
"I... am on vacation right now."
Because of the previous scandal, Chen Zhe is still on leave, and Hu Ling has not assigned him any tasks.
Zhang Xinrui's eyes lit up; "How about we go see a movie?"
"See a movie?"
"Yeah! A new movie just came out, and since it's graduation time, let's go see it to celebrate!"
Chen Zhe wasn't particularly interested in watching movies, but seeing Zhang Xinrui's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
The four "maids" were also very sensible.
They were on vacation today, but Chen Zhe dragged them here to act, so naturally they didn't want to continue being third wheels.
"Manager, let's head back now!"
"Okay, be careful on the road."
...
The girls left laughing, one of them gossiping, "I wonder what Sisi will think when she sees this?"
"What could she possibly think? She'd probably be incredibly jealous, hahaha."
"What right does she have to be angry? She and the manager aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. I've seen that girl before. She's been to our club a few times. She's a real 'rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned' woman. I can tell she likes the manager."
"I can see that too. Sigh, too many people like Manager Chen. They're all rich women or heiresses. I used to fantasize about pursuing him, but seeing this kind of competition, haha, I think I'd better give up."
"Yes, now that I think about it, the closest Manager Chen was when he first came to the club. Back then, some of us looked down on him, thinking that what future could a man have as a massage technician? But how long has it been? Less than a year, and he's already become the general manager. He's on a completely different level from us."
"But didn't he resign now? Now that he's resigned, he should be in a similar situation to us."
One of them scratched his head, looking somewhat confused.
"Can't you see it clearly? Once a person reaches a certain social class, their starting point for rising again is different from that of ordinary people. Let me give you an example: a scholar who passed the imperial examination with top honors and became a high-ranking official, but was demoted midway through his career, is his starting point still the same as when he was a scholar? Of course not! Even after being demoted, many people will still help him. Manager Chen is in this situation now. All the rich women and young masters he knows are willing to help him. How could he possibly be the same as us?"
"That's true. Sigh... It seems we can only marry an honest man. We can't hold onto a high-quality woman like Manager Chen."
"Haha, Wang Qianqian doesn't think so. She always felt that she had a chance with the manager. When I chatted with her before, she said she didn't like this man or that man. She blushed whenever Manager Chen was mentioned."
"I think she's a toad trying to eat swan meat!"
After he said that, the others burst into laughter.
The cheerful laughter gradually faded into the distance.
Chen Zhe had no idea that they were talking about him.
He looked at Zhang Xinrui.
"Shall we go to the movie theater now?"
Zhang Xinrui's face turned red, and she nodded.
The two walked side by side, closer than friends but farther than a typical couple.
After arriving at the cinema, Chen Zhe bought tickets and popcorn.
"I didn't know you liked watching cartoons..."
Chen Zhe smiled as he held the ticket.
Zhang Xinrui pouted and took the ticket; "What's wrong? Is it not allowed? Watching cartoons isn't just for kids. I grew up watching cartoons too. Can't I have a little bit of nostalgia?"
"Of course, I'm just curious. I thought girls would like watching romance movies."
"I... I've never been in a relationship, why would I watch romance movies?"
As Zhang Xinrui spoke, she kept her head down, her eyes searching for something on the ground. Sensing that Chen Zhe wasn't paying attention to her words, she became a little angry and emphasized it again.
"Aren't you curious? I've never had a boyfriend before. I'm so pretty and my family is rich, why don't I?"
Chen Zhe: "I'm curious, but that's not something I should ask."
Zhang Xinrui stood up abruptly, furious. "What a blockhead! Let's go see a movie!"
...
The movie has started.
Chen Zhe was surprised that so many people came to watch this animated film, and that the vast majority of the viewers were couples, which puzzled him.
"Do couples like watching cartoons now? Should I create a cosplay theme?"
All he could think about was business and how to create better operating conditions. Zhang Xinrui pulled him down to sit.
"You're blocking other people's way."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Chen Zhe was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice this.
Zhang Xinrui was very engrossed in watching the movie; it was obvious that she genuinely enjoyed it. She discussed the plot with Chen Zhe as they watched.
Chen Zhe wasn't particularly interested; he didn't have a strong appreciation for movies. Instead, he was constantly calculating in his mind the impact of the film's popularity on the surrounding market.
[If we can acquire its IP address, then selling related merchandise should be quite profitable; it's just a matter of whether we can negotiate a deal.]
[If you can't reach an agreement, you can also discuss processing; the Linglong Chamber of Commerce has many companies that can do processing...]
Chen Zhe kept thinking about this question, and after a while he noticed that Zhang Xinrui, who was next to him, was gone.
He was stunned.
"Oh no, I got too absorbed in thinking about it. I didn't even know when she left."
Ordinary girls are fine, but Zhang Xinrui is a rich heiress. She had been in trouble before, and he shielded her from several knife wounds with his own body.
If Zhang Xinrui disappears again, then we'll be in big trouble.
Chen Zhe called Zhang Xinrui, but she didn't answer after several attempts.
His face showed obvious signs of anxiety.
He stood up and ran towards the toilet.
He hesitated again when he arrived at the toilet door.
If it were the men's restroom, he would have gone straight in, but Zhang Xinrui would never go to the men's restroom.
Several people are going in and out of the women's restroom now.
He stood outside anxiously, and then, having no other choice, tried calling out a few times into the room.
"Xinrui, are you inside? Xinrui!"
He shouted it several times in a row.
The face he was looking for finally appeared at the entrance to the women's restroom.
