Chapter 1836 Zhao Rui visits, Zhao Hui is anxious

"Sorry, I'm late. Let me formally introduce you to my girlfriend, Tian Xiaohui."

"Xiaohui, they are the colleagues I told you about, Hu Yue, Cheng Jiayuan, and Zhou Chen."

Tao Wuji was in a very good mood and introduced them to each other happily. Tian Xiaohui smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Tian Xiaohui. I'm very happy to meet you."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Zhou Chen and the other two responded politely, but Hu Yue was the only one who was indifferent, with a forced smile on his face.

Cheng Jiayuan said, "Sit down first, let's sit down and talk."

As soon as Tao Wuji and Tian Xiaohui sat down, Hu Yue teased, "Tao Wuji, it turns out your girlfriend is so beautiful. No wonder you kept her hidden from us."

"No way, it's just that I haven't had the chance to introduce you two to each other before." Tao Wuji explained quickly. He was very happy to hear someone praising his girlfriend for her beauty.

When he came to Shanghai, there were two things he was most proud of. One was that he got a job at Shenzhen Mao Bank, and the other was that he made friends with a pretty and sensible local girl, Tian Xiaohui.

As a southern girl, Tian Xiaohui, who is in her early twenties, is not particularly pretty, but just above average, looking a bit like a beautiful girl next door. She does have a bright smile.

She just looks very thin and has an average figure, which is very similar to Tao Wuji. Both of them are very thin. As a girl, Tian Xiaohui is okay, because most girls nowadays consider thinness as beauty. Tao Wuji, on the other hand, looks like a monkey.

"Wuji, order whatever your girlfriend likes to eat. It's my treat today, so don't be polite." Cheng Jiayuan said generously.

Hu Yue is usually noisy, but when she saw Tian Xiaohui today, her good mood dropped by a lot and she even stopped talking actively.

Tao Wuji asked happily: "Jia Yuan, what's the big happy event today? Why are you so generous?"

"Nothing happy, it's just that Zhou Chen and I are in the same group now, and we completed a multi-million project today."

Hearing this, a hint of envy flashed across Tao Wuji's eyes, but he quickly restrained it and pretended nothing had happened.

"You've only been in the corporate business department for two months, and you two are already responsible for your own projects?"

"Yes, but it was mainly Zhou Chen who took the lead. I just assisted him and was a bonus."

Cheng Jiayuan chuckled, not showing off at all, nor caring about his achievements. Instead, he belittled himself.

Zhou Chen said: "Don't say that. Without you, this project would not be possible."

In fact, he quite likes a partner like Cheng Jiayuan. Although Cheng Jiayuan did not help much, he did not make things worse either. Cheng Jiayuan is very self-aware and will do whatever you ask him to do. He is very obedient.

He is much better than those people who have no ability but always think they are awesome. Anyway, if there is a choice, Zhou Chen will definitely choose Cheng Jiayuan and will never choose someone like Tao Wuji.

While they were talking, Tian Xiaohui was watching and listening. This was her first time having dinner with her boyfriend's colleagues. She knew that they were Tao Wuji's good friends, so she was interested in getting to know them better.

In just this short period of time, she discovered that Cheng Jiayuan was a relatively honest man, and Hu Yue was a carefree girl.

As for Zhou Chen, she couldn't see much. After all, she was just a college student who had just entered society and had a narrow vision. Cheng Jiayuan and Hu Yue's personalities were directly reflected in their appearance, but Zhou Chen was different.

Cheng Jiayuan suggested loudly: "Let's drink some wine together today."

"Forget it. I still have to drive." Zhou Chen shook his head.

"Why drive? Just call a designated driver. I don't have to go to work tomorrow anyway. Zhou Chen, don't spoil my fun."

"Okay, let's drink together."

They said they would drink, but they ended up getting drunk, especially Hu Yue. When she saw Tian Xiaohui today, she was in a very bad mood. She drank one glass here and there until she got drunk.

Even Cheng Jiayuan and Tao Wuji drank a lot, but they were still sober. Only Tian Xiaohui didn't drink.

In the end, Tian Xiaohui took Tao Wuji away first, while Zhou Chen took Cheng Jiayuan and Hu Yue with him, called a designated driver, and sent them home one after another, and then Zhou Chen went home himself.

Tonight, Zhou Chen observed carefully and felt that Tao Wuji and Tian Xiaohui should be in a good relationship now. Campus love is like this at the beginning, but it is different when both of them enter society. The development of these two people in the plot also proves this point.

He didn't have any other thoughts about Tao Wuji and the others. It had nothing to do with his mission. He felt that such simple interactions were good enough.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard hurried barking, as if asking him why he came back so late.

Zhou Chen walked over, opened the dog cage, and let Yuanyuan out. Yuanyuan shook his head and circled around him. He wanted to jump up and jump into his arms, but Zhou Chen tapped him lightly on the head.

There will always be a smell in a home where there is a dog, especially when the dog has a strong body odor like a golden retriever. Fortunately, the aunt he hired cleans the room every day, which makes the house relatively clean and has no odor.

Raising a dog in the city is completely different from raising a dog in the countryside. If you don’t have money or time, it’s best not to raise a dog.

On the day off, Zhou Chen did not hesitate to sleep in. Now his physical fitness can no longer be improved by simple exercise, especially in the urban world, it is almost impossible to improve it through exercise.

On normal days when he was at work, he would get up early and take Yuanyuan out for a walk, but today was a holiday, so he had no plans to move.

At noon, Sister Guan came on time to cook lunch for Zhou Chen. Before the food was ready, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call.

"Brother Zhou Chen, it's me, I want to..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen was a little surprised that the person who called him was Zhao Rui.

When having dinner at Dai Qiye’s house before, Zhao Rui specifically asked for his phone number and added him on WeChat, but they had never chatted much before. They only met a few times when he was walking the dog. Unexpectedly, she called him today and said she wanted to come and play with Yuanyuan.

Zhou Chen took Yuanyuan downstairs and waited for a while, then saw Zhao Rui wearing overalls walking towards them.

"Brother Zhou Chen, Yuanyuan."

"Rui Rui, you came to my place, does Zhao Xing know?"

Zhao Rui snorted lightly: "He's not at home, what can I say to him? Brother Zhou Chen, I'm not a child anymore. I don't need to report everything to my dad. What's more, I'm here to see you. What does he have to worry about? No need to tell him."

Seeing her like this, Zhou Chen asked speculatively: "Are you having a quarrel with Zhao Xing?"

Zhao Rui pouted and snorted, "I want to go to my idol's concert, but he won't let me go. I said he could come with me, but he didn't have time. Anyway, he won't let me go. He's my idol, I've liked him for a long time, and he finally has a concert, but he won't let me go."

Zhou Chen advised: "Zhao Xing is also worried about you. There are so many people at the concert, and it is still a bit dangerous for you as a girl."

"I'm going with my classmates, what danger can there be? Forget it, let's not talk about this. Brother Zhou Chen, is it convenient for me to go to your house and play with Yuanyuan?"

"What's the inconvenience? Come on, follow me upstairs."

Zhou Chen lives on the seventh floor. In the elevator, Zhao Rui kept teasing Yuanyuan with a smile on her face.

"Rui Rui, have you had lunch?"

"I've eaten. Our auntie didn't come today, so I made some instant noodles myself."

"How can you only eat instant noodles at noon? Come eat some with me later."

"I can't eat anymore, and I'm trying to lose weight."

She said she didn't want to eat, but after arriving at Zhou Chen's house and seeing the food on the table, Zhao Rui couldn't help but eat half a bowl.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou Chen."

Zhao Rui was very happy. In the past, whenever she had a quarrel with her father, she would go to the Wu family. Today, she also wanted to find Wu Xiaofei, but she suddenly thought of Zhou Chen who lived in the same community as her, so she tried to call Zhou Chen and then ran over.

Yuanyuan also likes to play with Zhao Rui, because usually it stays at home alone. Only when Guan Jie comes at noon and in the evening will she let it out to play for a while. Otherwise, Zhou Chen will take it out for a walk before and after get off work.

Now that many people are playing with it, it is so happy and absolutely loves the place.

Zhao Rui followed Yuanyuan to a bedroom and suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Zhou Chen, did you draw all the paintings in your room?"

Zhou Chen turned one of the bedrooms into a studio. When he had nothing to do, he would paint a few strokes to pass the time, and occasionally he would carve wood sculptures.

"Yeah, do you like painting too?"

"Yeah, I've loved painting since I was a kid, and I've taken classes to learn about it, but the paintings in your room are so good, aren't they?"

Zhao Rui is only sixteen years old and has just entered high school. Although she can draw and has some talent, she has not received any systematic professional training. Her skills are only considered amateur now. However, she has studied painting for many years and still has some level of appreciation.

She didn’t know how good Zhou Chen’s paintings were or what made them so good, but she just felt that Zhou Chen’s paintings were so good, much better than hers.

"It's OK. I have a talent for this and I've studied it professionally for a while."

Zhao Rui said hopefully, "Can you teach me? I like painting very much, but my eyesight is getting worse and worse. I want to paint more while my eyesight is still good, so that I won't be unable to paint when I lose my sight in the future."

Seeing her pitiful and self-pitying appearance, Zhou Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

Seeing Zhou Chen actually touching her head, Zhao Rui's body stiffened and she instinctively wanted to avoid it. But after Zhou Chen touched her naturally, she didn't feel disgusted at all.

"Don't be so pessimistic. If there is any problem with your eyes, we can get treatment. Nowadays, medical technology is advanced and there is a cure for any disease, no matter how serious it is."

Zhao Rui, however, had no confidence. Ever since she had eye problems, she had gone to various hospitals many times in the past few years, but her eyes just couldn't be cured and her condition kept getting worse. She no longer had any hope.

"Brother Zhou Chen, please teach me how to draw."

"Okay, I'll teach you."

Zhou Chen did not refuse. He was free anyway and he didn't need to rush to make money in this world. He could just do what he wanted.

He has been studying painting for many years and has never given up these skills in any world. He would practice them whenever he had free time, so these skills have always maintained a very high standard.

Not to mention teaching Zhao Rui, even becoming a professional professor at a university would be a piece of cake.

Zhao Rui was not just talking casually, but really wanted to learn. When Zhou Chen was teaching, she listened very carefully and painted according to what Zhou Chen said.

Listening to Zhou Chen's explanation, she found that her previous paintings really had too many shortcomings. In front of Zhou Chen, they were really like the level of a kindergarten kid.

While they were teaching and learning, Zhao Rui's cell phone suddenly rang.

Zhao Rui picked it up and looked at it, then snorted and hung up. But after a while, the phone rang again and she hung up again.

Zhao Hui, who was hung up on again, frowned.

He just got home and found his daughter was not at home. Thinking about the quarrel he had with his daughter last night about the concert, he thought his daughter went out in anger, so he called her immediately.

The call was hung up twice, so he changed his number and called Wu Xiaofei. He knew that every time his daughter had a quarrel with him, she would often look for Wu Xiaofei.

But after the call was connected, he realized that Zhao Rui did not go to find Wu Xiaofei.

"I didn't find Xiaofei. Did he go to find his classmates?"

Thinking of this, he became anxious and called his daughter again.

Seeing the phone ringing again, Zhou Chen said, "Answer it. Your dad must be worried about you."

Zhao Rui had a conflicted look on her face. She knew Zhou Chen was right. She and her father depended on each other for survival, and her father must be worried. But when she thought about not being able to go to the concert, her temper flared up again. She picked up the phone but chose not to answer it.

Zhou Chen knew that little girls of this age were the most awkward. They were very nice when they were in a good mood, but very stubborn when they were upset.

"I'll pick it up."

So he took the phone from Zhao Rui. This time Zhao Rui did not stop him and pretended not to care.

As soon as Zhou Chen answered the phone, he heard anxious inquiries coming from the phone.

"Rui Rui, where have you been? Why didn't you answer Dad's call? Are you angry with Dad?"

"Zhao Xing, I'm Zhou Chen, Ruirui is at my house now."

When Zhao Hui heard Zhou Chen's voice, he felt nervous, but he quickly calmed down.

"Zhou Chen? You said Ruirui was with you. Did she go to see you?"

"Yes, she came to play with Yuanyuan."

"Which building do you live in?"

"Building 8, Building 701."

"I'll go over now."

Zhou Chen was on speakerphone, so Zhao Rui heard the conversation, but she pretended not to care and continued drawing.

Zhou Chen did not expose her, but just smiled and continued to teach her how to paint.

Zhao Hui arrived very quickly. After about ten minutes, he heard the doorbell ring and came upstairs soon after.

Seeing Zhou Chen open the door, he asked anxiously: "Where's Ruirui?"

"I'm painting in the house."

Zhao Hui was so anxious that he didn't have time to say anything to Zhou Chen. He walked straight into the house and saw Zhao Rui painting seriously in one of the bedrooms.

"Ruirui."

Zhao Rui just looked up at him, then turned her head away and continued painting.

When Zhao Hui saw that his daughter was fine, he felt relieved. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he reacted and looked at Zhou Chen beside him.

"I'm sorry that my daughter has caused you trouble."

Zhou Chen said: "No, Ruirui is very obedient and helps me walk the dog. She said she likes painting. It just so happens that I also know how to paint, so I taught her how to paint in the afternoon. Ruirui is quite talented in painting."

Zhao Hui was surprised when he heard this: "You can also draw?"

Of course he knew that his daughter liked painting, but he was surprised that Zhou Chen, a young man working in a bank, could also paint and could teach his daughter.

"I've learned a little bit and I have some talent. I shouldn't be worse than those professionals." Zhou Chen said confidently.

"Really? That's really a talent."

Zhao Hui didn't know whether it was true or not, but he still gave a polite compliment.
