Chapter 160 Dowry Maid

"How did you come?"

  Chen Ji poured a glass of water for Zhou Wan, and sat at the conference table with her, chatting face to face.

  It is said to be a conference table, but it is actually a table by the window, where the usual company meetings are held.

   Zhou Wan, who was still wearing well-tailored women's business attire, was tall without losing her temperament, sitting opposite Chen Ji with a straight waist, and glanced out the window.

   "Dream about that world again?"

  Chen Ji chuckled and asked her.

  The sun outside the window is just right.

  For others, the sun in June and July is already very hot, and girls need to hold an umbrella to avoid the sun that will tan people when they go to the street.

  But to Chen Ji, and to Zhou Wan, sunshine has a special meaning.

   Both of them have "seen" the world after the sun disappears, and they will look at the sunlight that can warm the earth with another perspective.

   Zhou Wan took a deep look at him.

  Her thin and soft red lips parted slightly, and said in a cool and pleasant voice:

   “As an investor, I have a unique sensitivity to high-quality investments.”

   ""Zhao Guojianghu"? Or my company?"

  Chen Ji smiled at her.

   "Both."

Zhou Wan took a sip of the water in the glass, looked at Chen Ji and said, "Your company has developed a very interesting game. In addition, I have also read the Dream of the Red Chamber that you want to publish. Experts have seen it, and their evaluation is also very high.”

   "After all, it was written by a young lady in ancient society."

  Chen Ji smiled at her.

   "Ancient societies?"

   Zhou Wan tried to ask, but Chen Ji didn't answer her, but gave her a mysterious expression.

  Zhou Wan pursed her lips.

   She admits that she is still drawn to the surreal after all.

   Chen Ji has a power beyond the ordinary. When you get close to him and know about him, you will inevitably be attracted to him.

  Her previous life was a step-by-step process. It was not until she met Chen Ji that she suddenly came into contact with the mysterious world.

  Mysterious and colorful world.

  After realizing this, she suddenly realized that no matter how much money she made, she could no longer feel excited. In another parallel world, another she was experiencing something that she could never experience in her entire life.

so.

  After Chen Ji didn't take the initiative to come to her, Zhou Wan turned to find him again.

  She began to long to know another self.

"yesterday…"

Zhou Wan hesitated for a moment, and a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on her fair face, "Actually, I have some conflicts, and I don't know how to deal with them. I should have a meal with you... If you are free in the afternoon, I would like to invite you Have a meal, okay?"

  She raised her clear eyes to look at Chen Ji, apologizing for leaving in a hurry yesterday.

  Chen Ji remembered Da Zhou Wan's words.

  The little Zhou Wan in front of me actually treated him as a half-boyfriend, so after knowing that she was not her in the dream, she showed a disappointed and depressed mood, and then left directly.

   It is not incomprehensible.

   "The other Zhou Wan has something to tell you, do you want to hear it?"

   Chen Ji asked her.

   Zhou Wan's secretary, Song Yuzhu, was sitting not far away. She always felt that her boss was not here to discuss business, but to discuss personal feelings.

  For example, now, her boss's expression has become very exciting again, but it's a pity that she can't understand what she is talking about with this man.

   "Another 'Zhou Wan'..."

   Zhou Wan took a deep breath and calmed down, otherwise the weird feeling would affect her thinking.

   Knowing another "self" in a parallel world from Chen Ji made her feel really awkward.

"Yes."

Chen Ji smiled slightly, "She said, this matter belongs to her secret, and it is also very important to her character formation. If it happens to you, it proves that you and her are one person, and she doesn't mind being you. On the contrary, Then you and she are just two people with the same name."

  She doesn't mind being me?

  Zhou Wan frowned her slender eyebrows, thinking about the meaning of her words.

"Please say."

   Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji.

   "She said the murderer of the cat has been found."

"who is it?!"

  Zhou Wan subconsciously asked.

  It was only later that he realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly covered it up by drinking water, looked out the window, and tried hard to calm down.

  Chen Ji didn't ask her, and Da Zhou Wan didn't tell him what the cat's murderer was.

   This is something Zhou Wan only understands.

"Feel sorry."

   Zhou Wan apologized in a low voice.

   "It's nothing." Chen Ji chuckled, "She also said that it's okay to find the murderer, the important thing is the people around her. She regrets not being with her parents when they were still alive."

  The latter sentence was added by Chen Ji.

  Zhou Wan was silent for a while, and looked at him: "How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

"no problem!"

  Chen Ji made a joke: "The beautiful woman invites you to dinner. Of course I can't wait for it... Oh, it should be said that it is the investor who invites you to dinner."

   Zhou Wan didn't smile.

  The indifference makes people feel very strange.

  She looked at Chen Ji's company and said, "Can you introduce your game to me? I can help you contact the company for distribution."

   "Aren't you investing? Personally, I have a lot of confidence in this game!"

   "If you don't mind me taking a share."

   "Haha, of course I don't mind."

  Chen Ji and her started chatting about games and investment, leaving aside the doomsday for now.

   During the business negotiations, Zhou Wan appeared to be even more aura, with the temperament of a business queen. Huang Hao originally wanted to brag about his own game, but he stuttered even when he spoke, and was shocked by Zhou Wan's aura.

  The momentum of the capital boss is too strong.

  Huang Hao began to doubt whether Chen Ji could hold Bai Fumei of this level.

  …

night.

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan came to a secluded French restaurant for dinner.

  This restaurant can’t be found on the dining software. It is said that it only accepts reservations from members. Professional waiters and chefs will serve the whole process when entering the door. Several chefs only serve Chen Ji and Zhou Wan. If you need any taste, you can directly tell the kitchen to change it.

   "The average meal here is tens of thousands?"

  After sitting down, Chen Ji asked Zhou Wan with a smile.

  The young female doctor glanced at him, and said quietly: "I don't know how much it costs, but it is billed to my mother. It seems that the annual membership fee is more than 300,000."

   "It's really luxurious." Chen Ji sighed.

  Rich people have reached the point where they are enjoying themselves.

   It is said that the bathtubs of rich people are all inlaid with gold. A bathtub costs millions, and a bonsai costs hundreds of thousands.

   "These luxuries will disappear after the end of the day?"

   There were only two of them alone, and Zhou Wan couldn't help bringing up this topic again.

  Chen Ji laughed and said, "Can you imagine? I'll give you... I mean, bring Zhou Wan a few yuan of soy milk fritters, and she will be very happy."

   "In my wine room?"

   "You even know where?!"

  Chen Ji looked at her in surprise.

  There was a faint smile in the eyes of the young Zhou Wan, she clapped her hands, and asked the well-dressed waiter to come over.

  Chen Ji saw how Bai Fumei ordered food.

   Zhou Wan would come to this restaurant before and order in fluent French?

  Chen Ji got to know her better.

   Zhou Wan in the apocalypse and Zhou Wan in front of me are two different people, but they have similar experiences and personalities.

  Chen Ji getting along with the young little Zhou Wan is actually tantamount to understanding the personality of the big Zhou Wan he is familiar with.

   Zhou Wan not only has the strength and forbearance when she was hiding in the basement, but also the arrogance and aura when she was young.

   "Order one for her."

  Chen Ji said to Zhou Wan in front of him, "Put it in a takeaway box, and I'll give it to her...Does this restaurant offer takeaway?"

"Um."

   Zhou Wan nodded slightly, and spoke to the waiter in French, asking her to prepare some takeaway boxes.

   "How many languages ​​do you speak?"

   "Six kinds, don't you know?"

   "It's amazing, I haven't heard you say it."

   "Also...in the apocalypse, knowing multiple languages ​​is useless."

  After ordering, while waiting for the chef to prepare the food, Zhou Wan asked him, "What does the end of the day look like after the sun goes out?"

  There was a certain emotion in her words.

  Chen Ji said: "The worst disaster you can imagine is a hundred times more tragic, and it will look like the end of the world. To be honest, I admire you very much."

   Chen Ji looked at her and said.

   Zhou Wan in front of her eyes is very young.

  She has an extremely tough character, and going through the end will make her stronger.

   "In your perception, am I the same as her?"

   Zhou Wan meant something.

  Chen Ji laughed dumbfounded, "Sorry."

   "No, I'm asking you seriously."

   "Uh. How should I put it, after experiencing the apocalypse, people's personalities will change a lot."

  Chen Ji looked at Zhou Wan, who looked very young and had a unique temperament, and smiled slightly: "The Zhou Wan I am familiar with has a softer personality, but you make me feel more proud."

  She frowned, lowered her head and said nothing.

  After the dishes were served, Chen Ji sent the packaged takeaway to the doomsday world and gave it to another Zhou Wan.

"she…"

   In front of Chen Ji, Xiao Zhou Wan opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

"What?"

   "She often accepts gifts from you?"

  After Zhou Wan saw the takeaway box disappear in front of her eyes, the way she looked at Chen Ji changed a little bit.

   "That's right, but I also accepted her gift."

   "The jewelry?"

   "You also investigated this?"

   "Among those jewelry, there are jewelry that belong to my mother."

  Zhou Wan glanced at Chen Ji: "The first time I saw the photo of the jewelry you took out for auction, I was taken aback. I thought it was stolen at home. I asked my mother when I got home, and found out that it wasn't there."

  Chen Ji was embarrassed: "I was short of money at the time, so I didn't think too much about it. You let me sell the jewelry. I thought that jewelry without a brand would not cause problems in this world."

   Zhou Wan didn't say anything more.

   Those accessories belong to another Zhou Wan, she has no right to ask.

  Chen Ji ate food in silence.

   I have to say that although he is not very interested in French cuisine, this restaurant is high-end enough, and the food carefully prepared by the chef still makes him very enjoyable.

   "Do you think," the young Zhou Wan raised her head, "is the relationship between you and her normal?"

  Chen Ji met her eyes, "You mean, the relationship between me and Zhou Wan is abnormal?"

   Zhou Wan, who was sitting opposite him, didn't answer him.

  Because it seemed to her.

  The relationship between Chen Ji and another Zhou Wan is only because of the doomsday.

  …

the next day.

   "Brother Chen, good news! Great news!"

  Huang Hao excitedly came to report to him: ""Dream of Red Mansions" has been approved. The publishing house said that it is already arranging printing, and it is expected to start selling in a month!"

"very good."

  Chen Ji nodded. He didn't expect to make money from Xia Shumin's version of Dream of the Red Chamber, mainly to spread the works of Little Lady to the world.

"Brother Chen." Huang Hao said again: "The publishing house said that it is best to warm up before starting to sell, for example, invite some professors of red studies to make recommendations on Weibo, and invite some big Vs to publicize... Of course, the most important thing The most important thing is, please continue to write the author to come forward!"

   Please little lady?

  Chen Ji also wanted to invite, but unfortunately he couldn't.

afternoon.

   "Your "Dream of Red Mansions" is about to be released?"

   Zhou Wan sent him a message.

   "Yes, how do you know?"

   “I have some friends who do this kind of content, I ask them to help promote it.”

   "Isn't it troublesome?"

   "No, I will give you money."

   "..."

  Chen Ji felt embarrassed, the young Zhou Wan had a lot of social resources, and it was easy to help him.

  Before, he had been helping Zhou Wan who was in the doomsday, but now it was the other way around.

  The next day, Zhou Wan's money began to work.

  In many places, such as Weibo, Tieba, barrage sites, and short video platforms, people began to recommend Ms. Ban Shu's version of Dream of the Red Chamber.

   "It's unbelievable that there are still people in modern society who have such literary talents and continue to write such smooth Dream of the Red Chamber!"

  "After watching Ms. Ban Shu's version of Dream of the Red Chamber, I can only say: amazing!

   This version of the continuation of Dream of Red Mansions surpasses all versions, with a complete structure and restored characters. All the grass snake gray lines have been confirmed in the continuation. It is wonderful, really wonderful! "

   "Who is Miss Ban Shu? She has such a talent!"

"Do you know? I think the most unbelievable thing about Miss Banshu's Dream of Red Mansions is her poems...Oh my God, this talented woman has written dozens of first-class poems and used them in the continuation of Dream of Red Mansions !"

  A large group of people began to praise Ms. Ban Shu's "Dream of Red Mansions".

   There are big Vs, there are also some UP masters who specialize in the video of Dream of Red Mansions, and there are several heavyweight experts and professors.

  They also commented, saying that Ms. Ban Shu's version of Dream of the Red Chamber is the most exciting of all the continuations of Dream of the Red Chamber, restoring 70% to 80% of the original work.

  After a mess of blowing.

  The melon eaters were successfully aroused.

   Among other things, a talented female writer continued to write Dream of the Red Chamber, which is enough to create a hot topic.

  Of course, if there is talk, there will be criticism, especially on the topic of Dream of Red Mansions, there is no need to specifically push and criticize, there will be a bunch of people who say that any garbage will come to Hongloumeng, if you have the ability, take out the sequel to Dream of Red Mansions!

  Chen Ji satisfied their requirements and those of the onlookers.

  He happily put the electronic version of Dream of the Red Chamber on the Internet and gave it to everyone to download for free.

  Dream of Red Mansions is different from other novels.

   Even if everyone reads it online, many people will buy the paper version for collection.

  Chen Ji is very confident in the level of the little lady. This edition of Dream of the Red Chamber will conquer most people, and some people will buy it when it is published.

   "???"

"real or fake?"

"full version?!"

   "Downloaded it and took a look. I didn't read it carefully, but those poems are indeed very strong. Judging from the author's level from the poems, I am looking forward to Miss Ban Shu's continuation of Dream of the Red Chamber. I will study it carefully at night."

   "This poem is a bit level."

   "I love this style of writing."

  After Chen Ji's Weibo was posted, it was immediately forwarded by a large number of people.

  The little lady version of Dream of Red Mansions officially began to spread.

   One hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, one million.

  More and more people downloaded and watched Xia Shumin's continuation of A Dream of Red Mansions.

  The various plots in it began to be discussed, and many people called it wonderful after seeing all kinds of foreshadowing.

  More red scientists began to pay attention to this matter.

  Many forums that did not originally discuss the Dream of Red Mansions, but also many high-rise buildings discussed.

   "I was late for that sentence by Sister Feng, it really made my scalp tingle!"

   "Once the spring is gone, the beauty will grow old, but the flower will fall and the person will die... Woooooo!"

  Chen Ji also posted some posts, and saw more and more people praising this version.

  From the world of ancient martial arts, the dream of the Red Chamber created by the daughter of everyone, Xia Shumin, became very popular.

  Chen Ji also had an unexpected joy because of this:

  He can invite Xia Shumin to this world!

   "Strange, how come you can invite the little lady all of a sudden?"

  Chen Ji was surprised.

  Since Mu Xiaoxiao cleaned up the dark flowers on the sun in the doomsday world with a sword, the four worlds temporarily calmed down.

  Astana was concentrating on farming, but Mu Xiaoxiao didn't make any movement.

   Nothing special happens in any of the four worlds.

  But suddenly you can invite a little lady to this world...

   "Could it be because of the Dream of the Red Chamber?"

  Chen Ji can only guess like this.

  Dream of Red Mansions comes from the world of martial arts. After this world became popular, the degree of information exchange deepened, allowing Xia Shumin to travel to this world!

  This guess needs to be verified.

  However, after transmigrating into this world, will there be any special changes for the young lady of the martial arts world with Tian Xian in her mouth and her export come true?

  …

   "Young master, can Shu Min go to the fairy world on earth?!"

  After Chen Ji told the news to the little lady, she was very surprised, and the words she wrote became a little scribbled.

   "Yes, I can bring you to Earth now."

  Chen Ji is on the earth, but he can imagine the surprised little face of the little lady.

   Isn't she going to jump for joy?

   "My lord, please allow Shumin to wait for a while and ask you some questions before going."

   "Please feel free to ask."

   Chen Ji replied with a smile.

  The little lady probably thought she was going to meet her parents, but how dare Chen Ji bring her home now?

   "Aren't you going to see your uncle and aunt?"

  Xia Shumin was indeed a little disappointed.

  She thought she was going to marry soon...

   "Wait a minute, I'll take you to play on the earth first, the fairyland on earth is very different from what you imagined."

   "Yes. Young master, can Shu Min bring green bamboo and emerald bamboo to the past?"

   "Not yet, oh yes, there is another thing. When you come to Earth, your clothes may be broken for some reason, and you need to change into a new one."

"ah?"

  Xia Shumin's face was blushing. Did this, this, this... Young Master mean something else?

night.

  She told her parents about this matter—referring to going to the fairyland.

  Xia Yongcheng agreed very much, saying that she would go to the Immortal World if she was going to get married in the future, so it would be good to go and see it in advance, but she had to prepare some gifts before going, so as not to bump into Chen Ji’s family with empty hands, which would be inappropriate.

   "It's finally time."

  Looking at her daughter's happy expression, Lu Rui sighed in her heart, and called the three of them, master and servant, into the room alone.

   Give them a reminder that if you don't get married, you will lose your chastity, and let the two maids look at Miss Dian.

   "This, this! My daughter."

  Xia Shumin's face flushed red, she was so ashamed by her mother's blunt words that she couldn't lift her head up.

  Lu Rui held her hand amusedly, "Most daughters' parents have to go through this. When you get married, your mother and I will wait to hold my grandson."

"Mother!"

  Xia Shumin's cheeks were hot.

   "But you can't mess with your fiancé right now."

  Lu Rui looked at the two maids: "Before you get married, Green Bamboo, Green Bamboo, you will take care of the future son-in-law for the young lady, are you willing?"

  The faces of the two twin maidservants were also flushed with embarrassment. After Lu Rui asked again, they knelt down in panic, lowered their heads, and said together in their small mouths: "But, but it's up to Madam."

   "It's not me who decides, but I ask you." Lu Rui said with a smile.

  Among the two maids, Cui Zhu was too ashamed to speak.

It was her elder sister who reluctantly replied in a faltering way: "Ma'am, Cui Zhu and I have accepted the kindness of my uncle and miss, and we are willing to be cows and horses in the future to repay my uncle and miss... Just, just, before miss gets married, let me Go with Cui Zhu... to serve my aunt!"

  Xia Shumin on the side lowered his head.

   There is no objection.

   Before the young lady gets married, the dowry maid always goes first to warm the bed with the new son-in-law.

only…

  Xia Shumin bit her thin lip, would you like it?
