Chapter 120 Xie Xu also came to the exhibition
Chen Zan was indeed happy. She had been abroad for five years and had eaten Chinese food a few times. Although she was not picky about food, she could not say that the food tasted good and could only be barely eaten.
She rented a house, and her landlady, who happened to be Chinese, often cooked for her. Sometimes, when she came home early, she would bring her some food, but it was mostly sweet Southern dishes. By then, she was already working at TInN headquarters, often working overtime, but her work hours were getting later and later, often missing meals, and the landlady didn't feed her very often.
Chen Zan is a native of Rongchuan. He grew up and went to school there. If he says he doesn't miss the taste of his hometown, it's all fake. He's just being stubborn.
Zhou Jingyu served her some morel and pork rib soup. "The doctor said you might have a weak spleen and stomach. This soup is nourishing and nourishing, so I asked the kitchen to simmer it slowly. Drink a few more sips later. When you're ready in a couple of days, I'll take you to see a doctor to find out what's going on."
Chen Zhan felt that this old problem was not a big deal. "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Zhou Jingyu just couldn't stand her attitude of not taking her body seriously. After all, she was still young and didn't know how to treat herself well.
He was afraid that she would ruin her body and die before him.
After dinner, I happened to meet people coming out of the private room next door, a group of CEOs in suits and ties.
When they saw Zhou Jingyu, their eyes lit up and they surrounded him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhou?"
"Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence! Are you having dinner here too?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm from Hengtai Group..."
Seeing this, Chen Zan wanted to slip away, but Zhou Jingyu's big hand held her waist. She glared at him secretly and told him to let go.
Zhou Jingyu didn't let go and said to the group, "Everyone, it's inconvenient tonight."
Several people looked at Chen Zan, all with expressions that said, "I understand, I understand."
However, Chen Zan looked unfamiliar, and Zhou Jingyu hadn't had a woman by his side for so many years, so some people had the idea of winning him over. "Who is this lady?"
Zhou Jingyu: "Chen Zan."
There is no need to say more about the rest, as others will already understand.
Even though it was just a name, it was a big deal when it came out of the mouth of Zhou Jingyu, who never had any interest in women.
A group of people handed over their business cards. Chen Zan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept them all.
Sitting in the car, she looked at the business cards. They were either the CEO of Hengtai Company, or the director of a group, or at least an executive officer...
This was simply a private gathering of a group of bigwigs. When they met, giving her a bunch of business cards was also a disguised way of currying favor with Zhou Jing.
As expected, Mr. Zhou is a powerful man. No matter in Rongchuan or in the capital, he is flattered wherever he goes, and it is even worse now.
While Zhou Jingyu was driving the person back to the hotel, he stopped at a red light at the intersection and looked sideways at Chen Zan who was studying the business cards carefully. He was also bored and used his mobile phone to look up people.
I didn't know until I checked, but after checking, I found that the registered capital and affiliated companies behind these companies are all very impressive.
Zhou Jingyu curled his lips, his eyes and brows unconsciously became more gentle and tender, and he analyzed casually.
"I'm not sure what your future career plans are, but these companies are considered top-tier in Beijing. The ones related to your current job include Wenfeng Group and Poly Culture. The former focuses on new media, exhibitions, and advertising, while the latter focuses on cultural and arts operations. Both companies offer significantly higher benefits and salaries than your current position at TInN, and offer ample room for advancement."
Chen Zhan cast a puzzled look, "Mr. Zhou, are you trying to persuade me to change jobs?"
Zhou Jingyu paused slightly while gripping the steering wheel, and said without meaning, "No, just chatting casually, maybe you'll be interested."
Chen Zhan retracted his gaze and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, but I don't have any plans to do so at the moment."
She submitted her resignation to TInN and is now concentrating on preparing for the exam in February next year. She still wants to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, preferably the Translation Department. These corporate groups are not useful to her at the moment, so she will deal with it later if she fails the exam.
She wanted to tell Zhou Jingyu about her plans, but for some reason she felt that the man's face turned cold after she answered.
He hummed coldly.
Chen Zan no longer had the desire to speak.
Zhou Jingyu drove the car to the downstairs of the hotel, but did not follow him up. He just asked Chen Zan to have a good rest.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She wanted to ask him if he was unhappy, but she was afraid that it would seem presumptuous, so she just replied, "Good night, Mr. Zhou."
Watching Chen Zan enter the hotel, the irritability that he had just suppressed surged up again. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, but didn't light it. He just played with it obscurely, then picked up his phone to send a message to Jiang Yushan.
Will his idea work?
——
The cultural and art exchange exhibition opened on Saturday, and Chen Zan took Amy and others to be responsible for the foreign painting exhibition area.
When Jin Hanzhou sent a message saying he had arrived, Chen Zan told Amy to look after him while he went outside to meet him.
Today's exhibition is a formal occasion, so Chen Zan put on makeup, wore high heels, a black turtleneck sweater, black wide-leg pants, a gray waist-length coat, and her long hair was tied up behind her head with a clip, making her skull look rounder and fuller, and she looked elegant and capable.
Jin Hanzhou said he was at the ticket gate outside, and Chen Zan went out with the ticket he had prepared long ago.
Jin Hanzhou is tall and handsome, wearing a caramel-colored coat, and stands out in the crowd.
Chen Zan saw him at a glance and was about to go up to him, but when he was halfway there he saw Xie Xu, who was wearing a low-key and restrained executive jacket.
Jin Hanzhou was concentrating on talking to Xie Xu and did not notice Chen Zan coming out, but Xie Xu saw Chen Zan at a glance.
The elegant and easy-going middle-aged man wearing rimless glasses was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Zan, and then an unnatural smile appeared on his face.
It seemed like he wanted to say hello, but he was afraid that he would be treated coldly if he came uninvited.
"Chen Zan, here." Jin Hanzhou called.
Chen Zan is not such a stingy person. The exhibition is open to the public. People come to see the exhibition, so there is no reason for him to give them a cold shoulder.
He calmly greeted him, "Thank you, Director, welcome, Senior Jin."
Xie Xu, who was very comfortable in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was unusually reserved in front of a young girl. "Long time no see, Zhanzhan. You don't have to call me so politely in public."
Chen Zhan smiled politely: "Okay, Mr. Xie."
Jin Hanzhou came to the rescue and said, "Uncle Xie also heard that your exhibition was interesting, so I brought him here to take a look."
Chen Zhan showed an embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Senior, you didn't tell me in advance. I might not have enough tickets reserved. I might need to call and ask if there are any extra tickets."
This is true, the exhibition is very popular, the number of people entering and exiting each day is limited, and the on-site tickets are sold out early.
At this time, the secretary next to Xie Xu said, "Don't bother Miss Chen, Minister Xie has already bought the tickets in advance."
Just the day after Chen Zan returned, there was a job change in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Xie Xu was promoted to deputy minister, but he still served concurrently as director of the Policy Planning Department.
Chen Zan was stunned for a moment, then made a gesture of invitation.
After bringing people into the exhibition, Chen Zhan returned to his work area.
At this time, Secretary Xie Xu asked, "Miss Chen, do you have time to take us for a walk?"
Jin Hanzhou also said, "Would you like to go shopping together?"
Chen Zan subconsciously looked at Du Xiexu beside him. The man seemed to be indifferent to any arrangements, but in fact he was nervous and expectant.
