The film and television city starts from the courtyard

After hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Yuan Jun and the others just felt that they were a bit hasty at the beginning, but they did not feel any regrets.

After all, they knew very well that even if they didn't sell it, given the situation at the time, Yuan Jun's house might have been broken into, and the vase would have been broken, which would have been even more of a pity.

Zhong Yuemin had been silent since Zhao Shucheng came in. It was only when Zhao Shucheng toasted him that he spoke:

"Ning Wei, you are doing well now. You have opened such a good restaurant. The annual rent here is not cheap. It seems that you have made a lot of money."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Brother Yuemin, you are looking down on me. Do I need to rent someone else's place to open a restaurant? Of course I bought the land. I don't have to worry about the boss kicking us out when the business is good one day."

"Such a big restaurant is yours. It seems like you really make a lot of money, kid?"

The other people looked at Zhao Shucheng in surprise. After all, the decoration of this restaurant did not look much worse than that of Lao Mo's restaurant which they could only visit occasionally before.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's just a little bit. I can't compare with those big bosses. I can only say that I don't have to worry about food and drink, and it's enough for my own expenses."

Of course, Zhao Shucheng did not tell Zhong Yuemin and the others the real situation. The restaurant’s profits were indeed good, but Zhao Shucheng had more than just this restaurant.

After all, Zhao Shucheng started out by making roujiamo. The roujiamo made with the sauce he prepared tasted the best, so naturally many people wanted to learn from him. So Zhao Shucheng started a part-time business selling seasoning packets. Although he didn't make much money from each seasoning packet, there were more people who needed it, so after a while, he made a little over a thousand yuan a month, but it was not known to others.

After they finished their meal, they chatted and laughed. Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong left first because they had other things to do, but Zhong Yuemin stayed.

Zhao Shucheng simply took Zhong Yuemin to play bowling and didn't even give Zhong Yuemin a chance to talk to Qin Ling alone.

Zhong Yuemin played for a while, then found it boring and asked, "Ning Wei, why did you bring me here?"

"Brother, you haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, so you don't know much about Beijing. There are many rich people in Beijing now, and when you have money, you need places to spend it, so you can do whatever is fashionable. I heard that there is a golf course being built somewhere, and when it is completed, I guess the rich will rush there."

Zhong Yuemin glanced at the people around him curiously and said, "Are all the people here rich? Why didn't I see that?"

"Of course. Look at him, everything he wears is branded. His watch alone is worth tens of thousands."

"Just him? I'm confused, why do all the rich people look the same nowadays?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "People nowadays haven't really learned how to spend money, they just follow others, so their clothes and styles are somewhat similar."

But when the other person turned around, Zhong Yuemin took a look and said, "Why does he look so familiar to me?"

The other party also felt that Zhong Yuemin looked familiar, so he walked over and asked tentatively, "Zhong Yuemin?"

Zhong Yuemin asked, "Are you Li Yuanchao?"

"Li Yuanchao, it's really you, Zhong Yuemin!"

Zhong Yuemin said: "Brother, you are still alive!"

"It's been so many years since we last met! We really need to find a place to have a good chat."

Zhong Yuemin said, "Yes, it's been nearly 20 years since 1968. Let's go find a place to talk."

Li Yuanchao also retired from the army. Because of some connections, he joined the Zhengrong Group and is now the general manager.

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect Li Yuanchao to be doing so well now. He took the business card and said, "I was wondering why there was such a grand ceremony. So you are the general manager."

"They are all state-owned assets, and I am also an employee. You must not think of me as some wealthy boss."

However, what Zhao Shucheng did not expect was that not far from them, Zhang Haiyang proposed to Zhou Xiaobai, and after seeing Zhong Yuemin, he informed Zhong Yuemin.

Zhao Shucheng didn't expect that he actually witnessed this scene. After separating from Zhong Yuemin, he returned to the restaurant.

Qin Ling saw Zhao Shucheng coming back by himself, and he felt relieved for some reason, and said, "Zhong Yuemin didn't say anything, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "He didn't say anything. Maybe he has let it go now."

Qin Ling felt that things were not as simple as Zhao Shucheng said. After all, Zhong Yuemin's eyes could not deceive him when they met just now.

However, Zhao Shucheng knew that although Zhong Yuemin was a bit fickle in his feelings, he was also very loyal. After knowing that Qin Ling was with him, he would definitely control himself and would not continue to pester Qin Ling.

Ye Chuliang couldn't do this. He was still pursuing Qin Ling and even came to see Qin Ling every now and then. Some time ago, he made a final confession to Qin Ling and even bought a two-story villa for Qin Ling, hoping that Qin Ling could see his sincerity.

However, Qin Ling felt that the other party underestimated him. Although the villa was nice, he could afford it now. He just continued to live in the courtyard with He Xiaoping in order to avoid attracting attention.

A few days later, Zhong Yuemin's father asked Zhong Yuemin about his work.

Zhong Yuemin does not want to work in a company and just get by, but hopes to live a free and easy life, so he asks his father what he thinks about him being a self-employed person.

Zhong Shanyue naturally disagreed. He felt that it was a bit embarrassing for his son, a battalion commander, to go out and be a self-employed person. He would rather Zhong Yuemin spend his pension at home.

Zhong Yuemin was unwilling to just eat and wait for death, so he ignored his father's objection and discussed with Gao Yue, and they opened a pancake stall together.

Zhong Shanyue was very angry when he found out and felt that Zhong Yuemin was irresponsible towards him.

Zhong Yuemin said, "Dad, your current thinking is too old-fashioned. Ning Wei from our hospital also set up a stall as a self-employed business owner after he was demobilized. Now he is a big boss."

"How can you be like him? He is a platoon leader and you are a battalion commander. It would be shameful for you to be a self-employed person like him."

"I don't think it's shameful. Besides, if Ning Wei can become a big boss, so can I. We are all the same. He can make it from selling roujiamo to where he is now, so I can sell pancakes. I've calculated it. One pancake costs one dollar, and more than 200 pancakes a day is more than 200 dollars, which is much more than your monthly pension."

Zhong Shanyue felt that it was Zhao Shucheng who led Zhong Yuemin astray, or influenced the atmosphere in the compound. Many children, after demobilization or graduation, no longer entered government agencies, but instead went into business. Zhao Shucheng didn't know that he had become an example for Zhong Yuemin to persuade his father to allow him to set up a stall, and he was also busy developing his own new business.

The restaurant is on track, Qin Ling and He Xiaoping can take care of it. Going to the antique street to buy antiques every day is just for fun. After thinking about it, I think I should expand new projects for a better life in the future.

Zhao Shucheng decided to go to the south to have a look. After Qin Ling knew Zhao Shucheng's plan, he asked Zhao Shucheng to take him with him.

Zhao Shucheng said: "I'm just going to the south to take a look and buy some goods. You don't have to follow me, right?"

"That won't work. If you stay in the south to do business, won't we be separated for a long time again?"

Zhao Shucheng said helplessly: "How could that be? I really just went there to purchase goods this time."

He had already seen He Xiaoping eavesdropping on the side, and knew that if Qin Ling was allowed to go with him, He Xiaoping might also make a fuss about going with him, and wouldn't there be no one in charge of the restaurant? Besides, Zhao Shucheng was really going there to purchase goods and had no intention of staying in the south to do business.

Although the south may be more open and have more opportunities to make money, for Zhao Shucheng, it is actually just that. If he really focused on making money, business opportunities would not be a big deal for him, and making money would not be a difficult task. With the skills and knowledge learned from so many worlds, he could have become the richest man in the country long ago.

However, Zhao Shucheng did not want to attract so much attention, nor did he want to become a tool to make money. As long as he could satisfy his own life, it would be enough.

Qin Ling and He Xiaoping saw that there was no way to change Zhao Shucheng's decision, so they could only hope that Zhao Shucheng could come back soon.

The two of them sent Zhao Shucheng to the train station. After they came back, Qin Ling hesitated for a moment and asked He Xiaoping to go to the office so that the two could have a frank talk.

Qin Ling directly said that He Xiaoping also liked Zhao Shucheng, and even knew that Zhao Shucheng actually liked He Xiaoping a little bit.

He Xiaoping nodded, admitted that she liked Zhao Shucheng, and also told Qin Ling that he liked Zhao Shucheng.

Qin Ling said: "To be honest, we all like him, but no matter who he chooses, he will hurt the other person. And no matter who of us withdraws, we will be unwilling to do so."

He Xiaoping looked at Qin Ling and said, "What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that if we continue to be in a stalemate like this, nothing will happen. Maybe the three of us will just keep wasting time like this, but that's not what I want. I'm different from you. I'm almost thirty years old now. I'm no longer a young person, and I don't have that much time to waste."

He Xiaoping asked: "So you want me to quit?"

"Of course not. I know you don't want to give up, and I don't want to give up either, but we can actually coexist peacefully. I'm not that obsessed with status. As long as I'm with the person I love, nothing else matters."

He Xiaoping looked at Qin Ling in shock and said, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. In fact, this is the best choice, isn't it? You can marry Ning Wei, but after marriage, you can't stop Ning Wei from coming to me. Ning Wei and I will even have our own children in the future."

He Xiaoping fell silent for a moment. In her opinion, this kind of thing was somewhat unorthodox and it was also something she had never thought about before.

But she also didn't want to continue the stalemate. Although she was younger than Qin Ling, there would be younger girls who would like Zhao Shucheng in the future. Did she have to wait until Zhao Shucheng fell in love with someone else before she regretted it?

Zhao Shucheng didn't know that the two had reached an agreement, but when he came back from the south with the goods, he felt that the tense atmosphere between the two had disappeared.

Qin Ling used the excuse of welcoming Zhao Shucheng and asked him to have dinner at the courtyard where they lived.

But when Zhao Shucheng really came to eat, he felt that Qin Ling had some bad intentions and kept urging him to drink with He Xiaoping.

Zhao Shucheng also wanted to figure out what the two people were trying to do, so he started pretending to be drunk. However, he didn't expect that Qin Ling and He Xiaoping tried it out, and after finding out that Zhao Shucheng was drunk, they directly helped Zhao Shucheng into Qin Ling's bedroom.

While Zhao Shucheng was still wondering what Qin Ling was going to do and why He Xiaoping was willing to help Qin Ling, what happened next caught Zhao Shucheng off guard.

However, facing the two people who approached him, Zhao Shucheng could only fight back and suppress the two people forcefully, which finally saved him from embarrassment.

The next day.

Zhao Shucheng woke up and looked at Qin Ling and He Xiaoping on both sides, and couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't expect that He Xiaoping and Qin Ling actually conspired together and even had this idea.

Now that things have happened, Zhao Shucheng can only hope that the two people will not regret it or hate him.

Qin Ling and He Xiaoping had actually woken up a long time ago, but they just couldn't face Zhao Shucheng, so when they heard Zhao Shucheng's sigh, they opened their eyes and looked at each other, then looked at Zhao Shucheng and said:

"Now that the situation has come to this, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "You have already planned this, so you must have a plan for what to do next. I will listen to you."

Qin Ling blushed and glanced at He Xiaoping, saying, "Actually, it's not good for anyone if we continue to be in a stalemate like this. I have been your woman for a long time, but later you went to the army and I was in the song and dance troupe, so we had less contact."

"Of course I'm not asking you to be responsible for me, nor am I hoping you stay chaste, but I can't leave you. He Xiaoping also said that you saved her and are the light of her life, so she can't leave you."

"But we can't always be together like this, so I've decided that you can marry He Xiaoping, but you can't abandon me, and you even have to give me a child in the future."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Qin Ling and said, "Have you thought it through? You should know that if you follow me without any status, there will be a lot of gossip and you may even be despised by others."

Qin Ling lifted his hair and said, "I have been prepared for this and don't care what others say. Besides, you have been thinking this way for a long time, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you don't regret it, I will get a marriage certificate with He Xiaoping someday. Of course, Qin Ling, if you are unwilling, you can also get a marriage certificate with me first, and then divorce after a while, and then I will marry He Xiaoping."

Qin Ling was actually somewhat tempted, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be tempted, and I don't want to have a dispute with Xiao Ping at that time, so let's just follow the original plan."

After resolving the relationship issue, Qin Ling suddenly asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what did you do in the south this time?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I thought you really didn't care. In fact, I just bought some of the most popular clothes in the south and distributed them to some self-employed people in Xidan. Later, I plan to contract some factories to make my own products and sell them, such as the seasoning packets for roujiamo we sold before, or develop some new seasoning packets for cooking meat and fish."
