The world of film and television begins from childhood

Wang Ying's father's interest was completely aroused: "I really want to see if your handwriting is really like this. Open it and take a look."

Zhou Chen immediately took out the calligraphy he had simply framed and spread it out on the table.

"The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold."

Seeing the words displayed by Zhou Chen, Wang Ying's father couldn't help but read them out. He looked at them carefully and admired the good words in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

After looking at it for a while, he praised: "I didn't realize that you are so good at calligraphy at such a young age. Not bad, very good."

He praised it first, then frowned.

"However, your words should have been written in one go, right?"

"Uncle Mingjian, I did write this couplet in one go. I was surprised at the time. I didn't expect it to turn out so smoothly."

Wang Ying's father shook his head: "It's OK, but the words are a bit too sharp, but that's normal. You are only in your early twenties. There are many young people at this age who are not sharp. How can your words be so sharp?" This achievement is already quite extraordinary. It can be seen that you have really worked hard and are perseverant."

"Uncle, I was so impressed. In fact, I was forced to do so by my grandfather in the beginning. Later, I got used to it and slowly fell in love with it. But I also know that at my level, I still have a long way to go. It is also an honor for me to learn from my uncle today."

Zhou Chen showed an honored and polite smile.

Wang Ying's father said with a smile: "There are tips for practicing calligraphy, but the most important thing is perseverance. The hand must be steady and the heart must be sincere..."

Wang Ying stared blankly at Zhou Chen, who was chatting and laughing with her father while leaning on a piece of writing, feeling that her brain was a little hard to turn around.

She witnessed how this calligraphy came about. Yesterday they went out to buy the Four Treasures of the Study, and Zhou Chen wrote it casually.

Does this character really have so many meanings?

She was filled with doubts. She didn't know what level her father was, but she had to admit that Zhou Chen's method was really powerful.

Her father had a serious expression just now, but now he was laughing and discussing with Zhou Chen.

Although this was a good thing, she felt a little awkward for some reason. Is this process too simple?

Not only Wang Ying was surprised, but Wang Ying's mother was also very surprised.

But she was more impressed that she could accurately grasp her husband's entry point just by relying on her daughter's description. This ability exceeded most people.

She originally had a slight affection for Zhou Chen, but now that she saw that he could talk to her husband, she was even more satisfied.

Wang Ying's father explained to Zhou Chen like a teacher. Zhou Chen listened with a humble face, nodding from time to time, showing a thoughtful and benefited expression, which made Wang Ying's father speak more enthusiastically, and he had a childish look. Teachable appreciation.

As soon as the two of them chatted, Wang Ying and her mother became spectators. Wang Ying simply sat next to her mother and looked at the two people who ignored them speechlessly.

In the end, it was Wang Ying's mother who took the initiative to interrupt the conversation between the two. Teacher Wang was interrupted and still looked unfinished.

Zhou Chen apologized to Wang Ying's mother with an embarrassed look on his face, saying that he listened too seriously and forgot etiquette and so on.

As he spoke, he took out another gift he had brought.

"Auntie, I heard from Yingying that you like Taoist scriptures. This is a copy of the "Eternal Peace Sutra" and a suspected lost Taoist scripture that I copied. I hope Auntie will like it."

"Tao Jing?"

Wang Ying's mother was very surprised. She took it and looked at it for a few times, then smiled and said, "You paid attention."

"Auntie, you're welcome. This is what a junior should do."

In fact, Zhou Chen was also very surprised that Wang Ying's mother actually liked Taoism. In modern society, there are really very few people who like to study Taoism.

Especially for a family like the Wang family, it’s not surprising if you say that Wang Ying’s mother likes drinking tea, shopping, listening to music, shopping, etc. But she likes Taoism, which is really unique. .

Fortunately, he has lived for a long time and has stored a lot of things in his mind. He has also read Taoist collections in several ancient worlds, especially in the Langya Pavilion world. He has read all the rare books in Langya Pavilion. It is still very easy to write a Taoist scripture that is rarely circulated in modern society.

Wang Ying's parents were very satisfied with Zhou Chen's gift, and they also looked at Zhou Chen with admiration.

If you want to say whether the things Zhou Chen gave you are valuable, they are definitely not valuable, but the fact that they were sent to their hearts is more valuable than anything else.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1258: The first meeting went well, both good and fun

When they came, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying came in the Wang family's car, and when they left, they also left in the Wang family's car.

In the back seat of the car, Zhou Chen looked at Wang Ying and said softly: "I thought you wouldn't go back with me tonight."

Wang Ying smiled sweetly and said: "I originally thought my mother would not let me leave, but I just said that the book is still with you, and she didn't stop me and let me go with you."

Speaking of this, she stared at Zhou Chen with bright eyes.

"Zhou Chen, you were really amazing today. Once again, I am impressed by you."

To be honest, she saw Zhou Chen's operation with her own eyes yesterday, and she didn't think it would have much effect at the time. But judging from her parents' reaction today, Zhou Chen's approach was undoubtedly very much to their liking. No matter when she first went there, During or after meals, his parents' attitude towards Zhou Chen was relatively kind.

This is why Wang Ying is so happy. Although she is a very independent person with her own ideas, her parents' meeting with Zhou Chen today still made her worried for two days.

Even though her mother and uncle both had a good impression of Zhou Chen, it was her father who ultimately made the final decision in their family.

Until now, when her parents didn't stop her when she left home, she felt completely at ease. After feeling at ease, she felt extremely happy and happy.

Zhou Chen said gently: "I said, I will not let you down."

"Ah."

Wang Ying responded softly, then she didn't care about the driver in the car, rested her head on Zhou Chen's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.

Zhou Chen smiled softly. He naturally knew that Wang Ying had been worried in the past two days. She was very restless when sleeping last night, but now she was completely relaxed.

He only drank two drinks today. After all, Wang Ying's father is different from her uncle. Unlike her uncle, who can drink freely, her father still has to be more cautious, because her father himself can restrain himself.

He also knew that even though Wang Ying's parents were satisfied with his gift today, this was only a small part of the reason. What was more important was that his own conditions were not bad, especially that he had a lot of capital abroad, which just made up for the Wang family's external reputation. channels.

If his family background was ordinary, no matter how good the gifts he gave, Wang Ying's parents would probably not think highly of him.

This cannot simply be said to dislike the poor and love the rich. The main reason is that their family conditions are good, and Wang Ying is their only child. She was raised as a eldest lady since she was a child. Naturally, she does not want her daughter to marry and live a hard life with others.

If Zhou Chen were a parent, he would have the same idea. Don't talk about potential. It's hard to say, but it's very realistic. Even if an ordinary young man from an ordinary family has potential, it will be difficult to really overcome it. class.

What's more, when you are around twenty years old, what potential and lack of potential can you see?

The ancients often talked about being a good match, but it has been proven for thousands of years and is suitable for most people.

Wang Ying leaned on Zhou Chen, and after a while, she actually fell asleep. Zhou Chen didn't move, so he let her fall asleep against him.

Half an hour later, they returned to the community. At this time, Wang Ying also woke up. Zhou Chen thanked the driver and went upstairs with Wang Ying.

I brought something with me when I went there, and I brought something with me when I came back.

Wang Ying's parents brought them a large bag of isatis root and masks, and also brought a lot of Wang Ying's favorite snacks.

As soon as she entered, Wang Ying hugged Zhou Chen and gave her a sweet kiss. Zhou Chen, not to be outdone, directly dropped the things in his hands and responded quickly.

After a long time, the two separated. Wang Ying's eyes were as gentle as water, and she whispered: "Zhou Chen..."

Without saying a word, Zhou Chen picked her up and walked into the bedroom...

He Xiaozhou was obviously very worried about his mother. After Zhou Chen told him last time, he quickly collected his mother's past medical records and film lists, without letting Zhou Chen get them. It was sent to Zhou Chen's home.

Several days had passed since He Xiaozhou delivered it. In fact, Zhou Chen could judge by himself, but he still delayed for a few days. After all, he was not a doctor in this world, and what he said was obviously not as convincing as a doctor's words.

"Yingying, I'm going to see He Xiaozhou tonight. Is it okay for you to be home alone?"

"Did you find out the result of He Xiaozhou's mother's illness?"

When Wang Ying heard that Zhou Chen was going to find He Xiaozhou, she understood the reason.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing Zhou Chen's expression, Wang Ying asked tentatively: "Is the situation bad?"

Zhou Chen sighed: "It can no longer be described as bad. The gastric cancer is in the advanced stage and has spread. There are other underlying diseases, and the kidney and liver function is not good. To be honest, surgery is useless. I can only survive now by relying on medicine." Barely holding on."

Wang Ying was startled: "Is it so serious?"

"Yeah, I'm telling you, in fact, the best choice now is not in the hospital, because treatment in the hospital will only delay time, and it will also cost a lot of money. It is better to go home. You can live one day at a time. At least you can survive at home. If you can have a good reunion with your family, you will even feel better than in the hospital, and you may live longer."

"But it's obvious that Xiaozhou and his family don't want to give up and want treatment. In fact, this is no problem. It's just a matter of choice. If it were me, if my relatives were like this, I would probably go bankrupt for treatment."

"Ugh!"

A famous medicine sales expert once said that there is only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty.

This is not entirely true, but it definitely applies to most people and most situations.

He Xiaozhou's family obviously cannot support their consumption indefinitely. As a result, the patient himself will not feel comfortable, and his family will feel even worse.

Wang Ying, who always sees things clearly, couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

"Cancer is really scary."

"Yes."

Zhou Chen also lamented that he lived thirty or forty years in the previous film and television world, but even then, cancer still had not been conquered.

"But don't tell He Xiaozhou what you just said. If he knows, I'm afraid he will be even more desperate."

"I understand, but I think he actually knows it in his heart. He just doesn't want to give up now. Who can be willing to give up his mother?"

In the evening, before Zhou Chen went to find He Xiaozhou, he sent Wang Ying home. She said she wanted to go home for a few days to spend time with her parents, so Zhou Chen would naturally not object.

When he went to find He Xiaozhou, Zhou Chen specially called Qin Chuan. When talking about this kind of thing, Qin Chuan can definitely act as a lubricant in the middle.

In fact, it was true. The three of them got together for dinner. When Zhou Chen told He Xiaozhou the result, He Xiaozhou didn't tense up on the spot. It was Qin Chuan who comforted him, which stabilized He Xiaozhou's mood.

"Zhou Chen, thank you, and I'm sorry to bother you."

He Xiaozhou sincerely thanked him. He actually expected this result, but even so, he was still very sad when he heard it.

"But precisely because of this, I can't leave my mother. I have to accompany my mother through the last journey. So, I really thank you for studying abroad, but I really can't go."

Zhou Chen had a drink with him: "It's too early to say this now. Even if it doesn't work this year, there will be next year. You should go back and discuss it with your uncle and aunt. I know what you think, but uncle and aunt also have the right to know. "

He Xiaozhou said firmly: "Whether I want to study abroad or not is my own business. I can make the decision myself. At this time, nothing is more important than my mother."

At this point, Zhou Chen said no more. He knew that as long as He Xiaozhou's mother was still alive, He Xiaozhou would not be willing to leave. If He's mother passed away and He Xiaozhou's string was broken, he would be able to make a calm judgment. .

Seeing that the atmosphere was very depressing, Qin Chuan took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere: "I think Xiaozhou's decision is fine. There is nothing good abroad. They are all black and white. They are not as good as our country. There are acquaintances and friends everywhere. If Xiaozhou doesn't go abroad, it would be a good idea for Xiaozhou to study for a Ph.D. in Beiqing, so there's nothing wrong with that."

He Xiaozhou smiled casually: "Yes, Kawako is right. Where you go is not important. What is important is your family and friends. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's have a drink together."

"Yes, drink."

"Zhou Chen, our pancake shop will be renovated by the end of this month, and it will be open for business by then."

Zhou Chen knew that the pancake shop was affected by the flu. Even if it was renovated, it would not be able to open for the time being. There would be no hope for at least a month or two.

However, he did not dampen Qin Chuan's enthusiasm and agreed.

"Then I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money every day."

"It's not a blessing for me, it's a blessing for us. You and Wang Ying account for almost half of our shares."

He and Wang Ying both paid for the pancake stall at the beginning, but later when they were embarrassed, Wang Ying also paid for it. At that time, Qin Chuan said that he and Wang Ying would pay half of the money, but later Wang Ying only took 40%.

Wang Ying also helped find the store for the pancake shop this time, and Wang Ying and Zhou Chen have never participated in the dividends. So combined, the final shares are Qin Chuan and Wang Ying each holding 40%, and Zhou Chen holds 5%. Dragons account for fifteen percent.

Because Dalong has to work in the store all the time and is responsible for spreading pancakes, he also gets an extra salary.

When he drank to his fullest, Qin Chuan began to speak indiscriminately.

"Zhou Chen, we are young, so let me tell you the truth. You really shocked me when you caught up with Wang Ying. Do you know what my initial impression of Wang Ying was?"

"What impression?"

"A really unruly young lady, with eyes above her head. At that time, I thought she was just like Yang Cheng, but after getting along with her, I realized that although she has a bit of a young lady's temper, she is a real person."

Qin Chuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Wang Ying doesn't look down on us ordinary people at all. She can also help me open a pancake stall, help me find a store, and will help me when I encounter problems. Really, she is better than that Xiao Yang is a hundred times stronger; anyway, I just think that Wang Ying is kind-hearted and very loyal, so you should treat others well in the future."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Don't you think she is your major shareholder and you are trying to flatter her?"

"How is that possible? I'm telling the truth after drinking, okay."

"Okay, I heard everything."

"By the way, Zhou Chen, your semester is over and your time as an exchange student is over. Are you going back to the United States after the holidays?"

Qin Chuan suddenly remembered this and asked, "If you leave, won't you and Wang Ying be in a long-distance relationship?"

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "It's not as complicated as you think. I will be a senior at the end of this semester. Internships in foreign universities require a long time. I basically don't have to take any classes next semester. I will go directly to the internship process. I want to go to university by then. Wherever you go.”

He Xiaozhou asked doubtfully: "Then you are not going to continue studying for a Ph.D.?"

Zhou Chen said: "It is not necessary to be in school to study for a master's degree or a Ph.D. For me, as long as I want to study, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. If I achieve something in the future, even if I don't study, Stanford University will take the initiative to find someone." Me, not to mention academic qualifications are really not that important to me.”

Studying for graduate school and PhD is also to improve his academic qualifications and have better development in the future, but Zhou Chen is now a big boss, with several companies under his command, and academic qualifications such as postgraduate and doctorate really have little improvement effect on him.
