The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Qin Ling couldn't believe it. After all, she had been helping out for a while and knew that although the money seemed easy to earn, it was actually saturated after so many days.

Even if she and He Xiaoping went to sell roujiamo alone at that time, each of them would earn about the same amount of money as Zhao Shucheng, and the money made by the three of them combined would only be three times what it is now. How could it be possible that it would increase tenfold in an instant?

Zhao Shucheng could see that she didn't believe him, but he didn't have the time to explain his point of view in detail. After all, there were so many people waiting, and he had to finish the business before he could explain his blueprint.

Three years passed in a flash.

What Zhao Shucheng had said to Qin Ling came true. Not only did Zhao Shucheng help her earn 100,000 yuan, but she also became the owner of a famous restaurant in Beijing.

Qin Ling and He Xiaoping moved out of Zhao Shucheng's father's house two years ago and moved into the courtyard house bought by Zhao Shucheng. However, there has been no breakthrough in the relationship between the three people. Qin Ling wanted to confront Zhao Shucheng directly, but every time he saw He Xiaoping, he lost his courage.

Zhong Yuemin and his colleagues also had good development. Zhong Yuemin had always wanted to transfer to civilian work, but the army did not want him to leave. He became the deputy battalion commander, battalion commander, and captain of the special operations reconnaissance battalion directly under the military region. His superiors recommended him to study at the military academy, but Zhong Yuemin voluntarily gave up the quota and insisted on transferring to civilian work.

Zhang Haiyang came to Zhong Yuemin for further studies, and he was recommended for further studies. But after hearing Zhong Yuemin's thoughts, he curiously asked, "Why, you don't want to go?"

"Have you heard? This time we're cutting one million troops."

"Everyone knows that, what do you think?"

Zhong Yuemin said: "This is a watershed in our lives. If we go for further studies, we will be professional soldiers for the rest of our lives. But if we change our jobs, we can start over again."

"Yes, I've been thinking about this, too, but I'm still undecided."

Zhong Yuemin said: "Haiyang, if it were a war, I would be willing to be a professional soldier for life, but now it is a peaceful time, so what if I become a general?"

Zhang Haiyang was moved by Zhong Yuemin's words and felt that this disarmament was a good opportunity, otherwise the army would not let them go. After participating in the National Day military parade, the two were demobilized.

On the way to the resettlement office, the two discussed becoming criminal police officers. After all, with their skills, if they didn't do this job, they didn't know what else they could do.

But after arriving at the resettlement office, Zhong Yuemin heard the other party's tone of disdain. Zhong Yuemin couldn't control his temper and asked the other party to be careful with his words.

"You soldiers have been supported by the country for more than ten years. Do you think that life in the local areas is as easy as in the army? You have to earn every penny."

Zhong Yuemin was about to beat him but was stopped by Zhang Haiyang.

Zhang Haiyang said that the resettlement office had a quota, but the other party said that even if there was, it would not be given to Zhong Yuemin. In the end, Zhong Yuemin left angrily, and only Zhang Haiyang got the quota and entered the Public Security Bureau.

Zhong Yuemin was unwilling to let his life be arranged by such a person, so he came to the pancake stall again. When he heard that the other party earned more than a thousand yuan a month, he suddenly felt that it might be possible for him to set up a stall.

At this time, he met Gao Yue, a female soldier who had also retired from the army. She also looked a little angry, which made Zhong Yuemin feel as if he saw himself, and the two of them immediately started chatting.

After the two chatted for a while, they left together while still chatting. However, Zhang Haiyang, who came out to look for him, felt that Zhong Yuemin was being unfaithful for the sake of beauty.

At this time, Zhou Xiaobai received a call from Zhang Haiyang, and came to the resettlement office to help, saying that they should first settle Zhong Yuemin's matter. However, Zhang Haiyang pulled Zhou Xiaobai to find Zhong Yuemin first, otherwise he was worried that Zhong Yuemin would become uncomfortable, and their kindness would be wasted.

Zhong Yuemin and Gao Yue suddenly had a crazy idea to open a pancake stall together, and they happened to run into Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai who came to look for him.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't expect that when he met Zhong Yuemin again, there was actually a woman next to Zhong Yuemin.

Zhang Haiyang said, "Yuemin, why are you running around?"

"Hey, I haven't seen you two for a while, how come you two are together?"

Zhang Haiyang said: "I called Xiaobai and found out that the head of the resettlement office is an old subordinate of her father."

Zhou Xiaobai said: "You didn't even talk to me when I came back."

"No, I'm busy. I don't have time."

Zhou Xiaobai said, "You don't want to go to the Public Security Bureau, come on, come back with me and I'll help you."

Zhong Yuemin said: "Who said I want to go to the Public Security Bureau? I just took off my military uniform and put on my police uniform. What am I going to do with my career change?"

Zhang Haiyang said, "Don't joke about your future. Xiaobai is helping you, don't joke about your future."

"I'm not kidding. My future has just been arranged by her."

"What future?"

"Pancake Trust."

Zhou Xiaobai asked: "Who is she?"

"My girlfriend!"

Zhang Haiyang said: "Zhong Yuemin, you are going too far."

"What are you talking about?"

"What's wrong with Xiaobai? Why are you so arrogant?"

"Comrade Xiaobai is good in every way, so he is the most suitable for you, Zhang Haiyang."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't expect Zhong Yuemin to say that. He looked at Gao Yue, who was younger than him, and left angrily, leaving Zhang Haiyang no time to lecture Zhong Yuemin and quickly chased after him.

Zhong Yuemin and his friends were transferred back to work, and they discussed a get-together. Zheng Tong, as a permanent resident of Beijing, naturally became the organizer, and he directly arranged the dinner at Zhao Shucheng's restaurant.

Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyunzi were outside to greet Zhong Yuemin and his friends, but the first person to arrive was Yuan Jun who drove over. He had done well over the years, even better than Zhong Yuemin and his friends, and thanks to his experience in military school, he had become a military attaché of the embassy with the rank of colonel.

When they were about to start eating, Zheng Tong looked around and didn't see Zhang Haiyang, so he asked, "Why hasn't Zhang Haiyang arrived yet?"

"He has reported to the police station, detective!"

"We are the same. Come, let's celebrate Yuemin's return to civilian work and the new life we ​​are about to start. Cheers!"

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zheng Tong and the others and said, "Oh, you guys are all doing well. Yuan Jun is on a diplomatic mission as an envoy for the motherland, which was unthinkable before. Zheng Tong has also entered the Academy of Social Sciences to do research, and Xiao Bai is now the attending physician at the General Hospital. I am the only one who is not doing well. I don't even have a job."

Jiang Biyun said: "That's because you don't want to do it."

"Who said I don't want to do this anymore? Forget it, let's not talk about those unhappy things." Yuan Jun said, "Yuemin, I think something is wrong with you. Who hired you?"

Zheng Tong said: "Who can provoke him? It's only himself who is provoking him."

"You're the smart one, let's drink. Yuan Jun will only drink foreign liquor from now on, so if you want to drink, you have to come back."

But after Zhong Yuemin took another sip, he suddenly put down his glass and said, "Hey guys, this wine doesn't taste right. Is it fake?"

Zheng Tong said: "That's impossible, this is the taste of the wine."

Yuan Jun said: "Don't lie to me, waiter!"

After calling the waiter, I asked what was going on with the wine. The waiter couldn't really explain it, after all, the wine was bought by their boss, and they were just responsible for serving the guests.

"That's impossible. We sell a lot of them here."

"We've sold quite a lot. It won't do if the wine is fake. Go, call your boss."

The waiter said with some embarrassment: "But our boss is not here today."

"Who is in charge here now?"

"Our boss lady is here, how about asking her to come over?"

"That's fine too! Call them over!"

When Qin Ling heard what the waiter said, she was a little surprised. After all, these wines were purchased by her and Zhao Shucheng together. There was no way they could be fake. She thought the other party was deliberately looking for trouble.

This kind of thing has happened before. When the restaurant first opened, some people came here to cause trouble. They either ordered some difficult-to-make dishes, or said there were problems with the food or the wine. Zhao Shucheng had to step in to settle them all.

But this kind of thing hasn't happened since a year ago. Why is someone suddenly causing trouble again?

When she pushed the door open and went in, she found that these people didn't seem to be here to cause trouble, but were instead acquaintances.

"Zheng Tong, Biyun, Yuemin, why are you here?"

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect that he would meet Qin Ling again in such an occasion. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Qin Ling, why are you here, and you've become the boss lady?"

Qin Ling smiled and said, "It's not that I couldn't continue with the dance troupe, so I started by setting up a stall with others. I usually run the restaurant."

Zheng Tong didn't expect that when he came to Ning Wei's restaurant with good intentions, the proprietress who came was actually Qin Ling. He quickly looked at Jiang Biyun, worrying about what to do.

Yuan Jun looked at Qin Ling with some curiosity, then looked at Zhong Yuemin who was staring at Qin Ling, and realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Yuemin, do you know each other?"

"Qin Ling, a youth who worked in the production team in northern Shaanxi before, and a youth in the production team next to our brigade."

When He Xiaoping heard from the waiter that Qin Ling had not come out since entering the box where the commotion occurred, she became worried that something might have happened to Qin Ling. After calling the Liulichang shop that Zhao Shucheng often visited, she also hurried into the box.

However, the situation was not as tense as he had imagined. Instead, Qin Ling chatted with those people in a very familiar manner.

Zheng Tong saw He Xiaoping coming in and asked curiously, "Did you go to the wrong room?"

He Xiaoping shook her head and said, "No, Sister Qin, do you know them?"

Qin Ling smiled and said, "These are all friends. You should have heard of Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun. And this is Zhong Yuemin, and this is Yuan Jun."

He Xiaoping knew them, of course, and quickly said with a smile: "Hello, I didn't expect you to come to our house for dinner, so I'll add two dishes for you."

Zhong Yuemin refused, "No, this is enough for us. By the way, are you the boss here?"

Zhong Yuemin felt that it didn't seem like it. After all, if He Xiaoping was the boss, then why did the waiter just say that Qin Ling was the boss's wife? Shouldn't she be the second boss or the underboss?

Zheng Tong didn't expect He Xiaoping to be here, he had heard something about Zhao Shucheng living with two women in his parents' house. But after they moved out, Zhao Shucheng still lived in his parents' house, and the rumor gradually dissipated.

"No, I should be considered a shareholder. By the way, Ning Wei is not here now and will be back in a while."

Zhong Yuemin asked, "You said your boss is Ning Wei?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yuemin looked at Qin Ling and said, "So you are together with Ning Wei? When did you two get together? It can't be when I was still here, right? How old was Ning Wei at that time? Did he know what love was?"

Qin Ling said, "Of course not. We were together later than you think. We confirmed our relationship before Ning Wei joined the army. But later he went to serve in the army, and I performed with the song and dance troupe all over the country, so we contacted less."

Qin Ling is already annoyed enough with Ye Chuliang pursuing her, so naturally he doesn't want Zhong Yuemin to pursue him relentlessly, so he can only use Zhao Shucheng as a cover.

After hearing this, He Xiaoping immediately realized that there must be something going on. If Qin Ling was really with Zhao Shucheng, it would be impossible for her to not find any clues in the past three years.

Zheng Tong felt a little bit embarrassed. If he had known that Qin Ling was in charge of the restaurant, he should have chosen another restaurant. At least it wouldn't be as awkward as it is now.

After Zhao Shucheng learned from an antique shop owner that something had happened in the restaurant, he had no choice but to take his newly purchased antiques and rush back to the restaurant.

After understanding the situation from the waiter, he pushed the door open and naturally saw Qin Ling, Zhong Yuemin and others who were drinking.

"Hey, it's you. If you're not here to cause trouble, why didn't you call and tell me so that I could hurry back? I don't know how many good things I would have missed."

After hearing this, Zheng Tong smiled and said, "You can't blame us for this. It's your boss's fault for not explaining things clearly. But speaking of it, what were you busy with if you weren't watching over the restaurant? What big business were you doing?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I am a contented person. Having a restaurant like this is enough for me. I don't want to make it too big. So I just go around various antique shops and buy some antiques during this period."

After hearing this, Yuan Jun said, "You kid actually got into antiques. There's a lot of water in this. I still remember when Zheng Tong and I went to my house to steal a vase, the store gave us fifty at most, but other people directly charged us three hundred."

Zheng Tong nodded and said, "Yes, we thought this thing was worthless, but we didn't expect it to sell for so much."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If you knew the current price of that vase, you might be even more upset. It is said that antiques are valuable in prosperous times and gold is valuable in troubled times. Although those years were not considered troubled times, antiques and other things could not be sold at a high price. In fact, only people who really like them would take the risk to buy them."

"It's different now. There are more and more rich people. In the past, it was rare to find a family with a fortune of 10,000 yuan, but now there are one or two families with a fortune of 100,000 yuan in each county, and there are even more rich people in the capital. So antiques follow the market and their prices are rising. Your vases are much more expensive now, and it's no problem to get more than a thousand yuan." (End of this chapter)
