The world of film and television begins from childhood

Qiao Yingzi: "I'm going to eat with my dad. Zhou Chen, you haven't eaten yet, right? Do you want to come with us? We're going to have hotpot today."

Zhou Chen glanced at Qiao Weidong and replied with a smile: "No, I have something else to do in the evening, so I won't go with you."

"Okay, I'll treat you next time."

Qiao Yingzi and Qiao Weidong, father and daughter, said goodbye to Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen went upstairs, Qiao Weidong asked his daughter.

"Yingzi, you said you wanted to treat that classmate to a meal. Why do you want to treat him to a meal?"

Qiao Yingzi: "Because he treated me to a meal before, so I want to treat him back."

"He invited you to dinner, alone?" Qiao Weidong's voice suddenly became distorted.

"Ah, once I was alone, and once with Fang Hou and Tao Zi. He paid for both."

Qiao Weidong's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Yingzi, tell me honestly, is this guy targeting you?"

"?"

Qiao Yingzi was stunned for a moment, then she reacted: "Dad, what are you thinking? We are just classmates, don't let your imagination run wild."

Qiao Weidong said, "I'm not just imagining things. Yingzi, you have to be careful. You can't be alone with male classmates in the future, let alone eat alone. Boys nowadays are all bad. Don't be fooled by him."

"Dad, you really think too much. How could it be possible for Zhou Chen and I to be together?"

Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes. She admitted that she had some feelings for Zhou Chen, but that was because they were classmates. It was completely different from what Qiao Weidong thought.

Qiao Weidong was still worried, so he said, "Since you want to repay the favor, after dad moves in, you can invite him over for dinner and I'll repay it for you."

He was still worried about his daughter, so he decided to take action himself and give this boy who might steal their daughter a try. He had to nip it in the bud.

Qiao Yingzi was a little hesitant: "We'll see when the time comes, but Dad, are you really planning to move back home?"

"Do you think I'm kidding? I've already had the house renovated and I think we'll be able to move in soon. Then you can come to your dad's place and relax anytime."

"Dad, I'm still a little worried. It would be terrible if my mom found out." Qiao Yingzi looked worried.

Qiao Weidong snorted disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? Dad is not afraid of her. Yingzi, trust Dad. Dad can handle it all. You just need to wait quietly."

Qiao Yingzi muttered, "Anyone can brag, but I'm afraid you'll get scared when you see my mom."

She knew very well what kind of person her father was. There was no way he could beat her mother.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Qiao Yingzi suddenly called him and asked him to open the door. Zhou Chen opened the door puzzled and saw Qiao Yingzi standing at his door.

"what happened?"

As soon as he asked the question, he saw a box on the ground, which was another Lego toy.

"This is?"

Qiao Yingzi said quietly: "Hurry, help me move in."

Zhou Chen immediately understood what Qiao Yingzi meant and moved the box in.

"This is what my dad bought for me, but I don't dare take it home. Not only will it be confiscated, but I'm sure my mom will scold me."

When talking about her mother, Qiao Yingzi still feels scared.

"So, you wanted to put it here with me?" Zhou Chen asked.

Qiao Yingzi chuckled and said, "Well, you won't not help me, right?"

Zhou Chen: "You've brought the things here, what else can I say? It's just that you're always so sneaky, aren't you tired?"

"I have no choice. My mother forced me to do this. If I had any other ideas, I wouldn't be so sneaky."

Qiao Yingzi couldn't help complaining that over the years, she and her mother had been fighting wits and courage for these Lego toys, and had to hide everywhere.

Zhou Chen also knew Qiao Yingzi's dilemma, so he said, "I don't mind, but you have to be careful next time you come to my place. If your mother knew that you were playing with Lego at my place, I don't know how much trouble it would cause."

Considering the personality of Qiao Yingzi's mother Song Qian, if she really gets angry, she might do anything.

He was not afraid of Song Qian, but he didn't want Qiao Yingzi to get hurt.

"Don't worry about this. I will definitely be careful. And I have good news for you. My dad has decided to move back. His place will be my secret base. Zhou Chen, I will only tell you one person, so you must not leak it to anyone."

Although she was at Zhou Chen's house, Qiao Yingzi still lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that the walls might have ears.

"Your dad is moving in?"

Zhou Chen was a little surprised, but not too surprised, because he knew that this day would come sooner or later. He just didn't expect that Qiao Weidong would already start taking action just one week after school started.

"Well, don't tell anyone else. I'll leave the things here with you. I'll come back to work on them when I'm free. I'm going to go back now, or my mom will urge me again."

Watching Qiao Yingzi cautiously return home and open the door, Zhou Chen felt really sorry for her. This little girl was really scared by her mother and was even cautious when returning home.

Another week passed quickly and it was Friday in the blink of an eye.

It has been two weeks since the start of school, and Zhou Chen has completely adapted to his current life. Although it is the busiest senior year, Zhou Chen feels that it is much easier than working, mainly because there is less pressure and no intrigue.

"Zhou Chen, the National Day holiday is coming soon. Have you decided where to go?"

Fang Yifan squeezed next to Zhou Chen, asked a question first, and then said rather depressedly: "I am miserable. Since I was assigned to the basic class, my mother has been forcing me to study all day long. I was going to go out and play during the National Day holiday, but she insisted on making me stay at home to study. Oh, it's so annoying."

"Zhou Chen, you are still the best. No one at home cares about you. You can go wherever you want. The most important thing is that you have money."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Who says we have to go out and play during the National Day holiday? Can't we study at home?"

"Stop it. Are you really not going out to play?" Fang Yifan asked curiously.

Zhou Chen: "I really don't have that intention. Why go out alone? Have a romantic encounter?"

"You can take Yingzi with you, hehe." Fang Yifan said with a sly smile.

Zhou Chen: "No problem, as long as you can help me deal with Yingzi's mother, I can take Yingzi out to play."

Fang Yifan shrank his neck and said, "Forget it. I can't even handle my own mother, so how can I handle Yingzi's mother? Her mother is even more powerful than my mother."

At this time, Ji Yangyang, who was sitting next to him, interrupted and said, "Zhou Chen, if you don't want to go out to play during the National Day, we can go to my uncle's house together."

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later. There's still more than half a month left. It's too early to talk about it now."

"Then I have an appointment to play basketball with someone tomorrow night. It's right next to the community. Do you want to come?"

"Playing basketball? No problem. Call me when the time comes."

Zhou Chen is no stranger to basketball. When he was in school, his favorite things were playing basketball and watching NBA. Later, he traveled through several worlds and played basketball frequently. He dare not say how good his level is, but his physical fitness is there, so it should not be a problem for him to beat high school students.

Occasionally bullying the weak ones is good for your physical and mental health.

"Want to play basketball? Add me in, add me in." Fang Yifan loves to join in the fun, and when he heard about playing basketball, he became interested.

"You?" Ji Yangyang sneered disdainfully.

Although he and Fang Yifan are not as hostile as before, their relationship is definitely not good, and he is not used to the active Fang Yifan.

When Fang Yifan saw Ji Yangyang's expression, he immediately became angry: "Ji Yangyang, what do you mean? Do you look down on me? If you have the guts, let's go down and fight one-on-one."

"Ah."

Ji Yangyang sneered and said nothing.

Fang Yifan became even angrier and was about to speak again, but was stopped by Zhou Chen.

"Okay, stop talking. If you really want to fight, you can come over tomorrow."

Fang Yifan glared at Ji Yangyang unhappily, then whispered to Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, I've discovered a problem these days. Ji Yangyang always walks with my goddess Tao Zi after school. Has he moved to Shuxiang Yayuan?"

"Yes, it's downstairs from me."

"That's it."

There was a gleam in Fang Yifan's eyes. These past few days, he always saw Ji Yangyang and Tao Zi going to and from school together, which made him feel very unhappy.

"We must think of a way to prevent Taozi from being deceived by Ji Yangyang."

Zhou Chen ignored Fang Yifan and surfed the Internet with his mobile phone. The most satisfying thing about this school was that it did not ban students’ mobile phones.

When he was in high school, he couldn't bring a mobile phone or even an MP3 to school. He read novels by tearing them off pages at a time and sandwiching them between books.

Compared to that era, Chunfeng Middle School is so damn humane.

After all, he is an adult. Zhou Chen is now making progress in his studies in an orderly manner. It is boring to stay in school, so he wants to find something else to do.

Although he is not short of money now, no one would complain about having too much money. In order to have a better life in the future, he feels that he should continue to make more money.

It is now 2018. As a senior high school student, it is impossible for him to start a business or start a company, so he wants to find a business that will not interfere with his studies and can make money.

Well, in fact, besides studying, there are other things you can do in school, such as having a campus romance, but this is really just something he thinks about.

Chapter 223 Planning, Basketball Court

"In 2018."

There was a gleam in Zhou Chen's eyes. This parallel world had a lot in common with the real world he lived in. He didn't know what major events would happen in the next few months.

But he knew that more than a year later, a major disaster would break out, or a disaster that would last for a long time.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

If he didn't have any ability, he would focus on protecting himself, but now that he has the ability, can't he do more?

When he came to this world, the system did not assign him any tasks. He could live according to his own ideas without being bound by any constraints.

In that case, then of course we can do whatever we want.

Although Zhou Chen's mentality has changed a lot after traveling through several worlds, he has not changed in essence.

"Okay, it's decided."

Zhou Chen made a decision quickly. He planned to open a factory to produce masks first. At the current stage, mask production factories may not necessarily make much profit.

But in the future, it will definitely be a very profitable industry, and more importantly, it will be able to help many people in the future.

However, opening a mask factory is more for coping with the future. It is estimated that there will be no profit in the short term, and it may even lose money, so Zhou Chen still has to find another profitable industry.

"Entertainment company? Forget it. It's too tiring. I don't have the energy. Construction industry? No, either. Architectural design is also a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, and it may not be more profitable than the trading company at home."

At present, Zhou Chen’s best way of making money is naturally related to the music and entertainment industry, and the other is the architectural design industry.

However, it is not easy to make a big business in these two industries. The entertainment industry requires vision and background, and the construction industry requires experience. Moreover, these two industries are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and are not suitable for his current student status.

Stock speculation, lottery, Internet...

For Zhou Chen, these industries that do not require too much manpower and material resources and do not need to be constantly monitored are more suitable for his current situation.

"How about opening a marriage agency?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen showed a sweet smile. To be honest, he had obtained the god-level Yue Lao skills, but he had only used them twice so far.

Once it was used on him and Li Luo, and another time it was used on Xie Hongzu and Zhao Malin in The Golden Years, thus gaining Xie Jiayin's full support.

As for the other skills, they were rarely used. It’s not that Zhou Chen didn’t want to use them, but that they were simply not needed.

Although he has decided to open a mask factory, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry to do it. This kind of thing is not something that can be rushed.

"Zhou Chen, don't say I didn't help you. Yingzi's birthday is in a few days. What gift are you going to buy for Yingzi?"

During the break of evening self-study, Fang Yifan found Zhou Chen and talked about Yingzi's birthday.

"Is it Yingzi's birthday?"

Zhou Chen was stunned. Although he had been getting along well with Qiao Yingzi during this period, he really didn't know Qiao Yingzi's birthday. Fang Yifan, on the other hand, had known Yingzi for several years and knew Qiao Yingzi's birthday very well.

"Yes, it's Sunday. Should we have a party for Yingzi?"

Fang Yifan asked excitedly. The reason he said this was not only for Yingzi's birthday, but also to have some fun himself. He didn't want to be forced to study at home every day.

Zhou Chen: "What are you planning here? It depends on what Yingzi thinks."

"That's right, I'll go ask her now."

After saying that, Fang Yifan ran towards the sprint class.

Zhou Chen fell into deep thought. He was considering what to give Qiao Yingzi. He knew that Qiao Yingzi liked Lego, but Fang Yifan and others who were familiar with Qiao Yingzi also knew that they would definitely give Lego as well. In addition, Yingzi's father Qiao Weidong would give 8499.

So he felt that there was no need to give the same Legos as a gift, but he needed to think about what else to give besides Legos.

Not long after, Fang Yifan came back and said to Zhou Chen with a look of regret: "Yingzi said that on her birthday, she will spend the day with her mother at noon and with her father at night, so she won't have time to spend it with us."

"As expected."

"Ah, Yingzi is busy enough. She is with her mom at noon and with her dad at night. I used to envy her, but now I think our family is better. We are all together on birthdays, and it is so lively."
