The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Hey, you kid."

Song Qian patted her a bit, but seeing that Qiao Yingzi didn't respond, she had no choice but to give up trying to persuade her. She turned off the lights in the room and walked out of the room.

Only after Song Qian left did Qiao Yingzi lift the quilt. She really couldn't understand why her mother had such a big opinion of Zhou Chen.

From her personal perspective, Zhou Chen is a very good friend. At least during the time they knew each other, Zhou Chen brought her a lot of happiness and help, and would also comfort her when she was angry and sad.

She was originally a very good classmate and friend, and she also had some affection for Zhou Chen, so she couldn't stand her mother always saying bad things about Zhou Chen.

However, after Ji Yangyang and his family of three returned, things became much more harmonious.

After what happened in the past two days, Ji Shengli finally realized that although work is important, his son is more important, so he doesn't want his son to always hate him.

After experiencing this hotel incident, life goes on and the midterm exam is here in the blink of an eye.

Before the midterm exam, Li Meng, the head of the senior grade, repeatedly reminded everyone that this midterm exam was a unified exam for the entire district, and asked everyone to prepare well. By passing this district-wide exam, they would be able to clearly understand their current learning situation.

After such a long period of review, Zhou Chen is now fully confident that he will give his all and make a stunning debut in this midterm exam.

Chapter 257: Fourth Place, Fang Yuan Looking for a Job

The midterm exam is a unified test for the entire district. Chunfeng Middle School attaches great importance to it. All students in the third year of high school take the exam separately, just like the college entrance examination.

The exam lasted two days in total. After the exam, it was the weekend, so I had two days of rest.

During the weekend, Zhou Chen did not stop, but went directly to the Guanbing Mask Factory in Liji Town for inspection.

It has been almost a month since he acquired shares in the mask factory. With the influx of capital, everything has slowly recovered and the production rate has increased by more than one level.

Today, the warehouse of the mask factory has stored a large number of masks, which are neatly placed together.

Zhou Chen came to the warehouse and looked at the masks inside, feeling very satisfied.

Although these masks are not worth much now, not long ago, they would have become important supplies that were worth a lot of money.

Zhou Chen walked around the factory from the morning and did not leave at night, staying in the factory dormitory for the night.

Zhou Chen was quite satisfied with the progress of the factory, so he left the next day.

Now most of the factory management are his people, and he will be the first to know about any disturbance.

The midterm exam results were released on Monday afternoon and posted on the bulletin board.

Zhou Chen followed Fang Yifan and the others to check the results. Fang Yifan worked his way from the back to the front and quickly found his name.

"Over four hundred and fifty. Beautiful."

When Fang Yifan saw that his total score was over 450, he shouted in surprise, especially when he saw that his score was higher than Ji Yangyang's. He was so proud that he wanted to let the whole world know.

Ji Yangyang took a look at his own results and ranking, then turned and left indifferently, which made Fang Yifan very bored.

Fang Yifan asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, have you found your name?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm different from you. You search from the back to the front, but I'm going to search from the front to the back."

Fang Yifan said with disgust: "Zhou Chen, have some shame, I admit that your grades are better than mine, but the front is occupied by my cousin and Yingzi, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhou Chen: "Then take your time to look for it and see when you can find my name."

He tried his best in this exam. He couldn't say that he would get the first place, but he would definitely be among the top. So he was not in a hurry to find his name.

He didn't look for it, but someone saw his name and let out an earth-shaking howl.

"Fuck, am I blind? Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen."

The one who was shouting was another funny guy, Big Bear He Hongyu. He had a really loud voice and when he roared, everyone looked at him.

Da Xiong rushed to Zhou Chen in two or three steps, grabbed him, and said in shock: "Zhou Chen, are you really Zhou Chen? You actually ranked fourth in the whole grade. Are you still the Zhou Chen I know?"

Zhou Chen was not surprised to hear that he ranked fourth, but Fang Yifan was different. His eyes were bigger than a dog's.

"Big Bear, tell me again, what place did Zhou Chen get in the exam?"

"Fourth in the grade, top 5% in the district."

"That's not true. Absolutely not."

Fang Yifan pushed Daxiong away and quickly walked to the front. Looking down, the first person he saw was his cousin Lin Leier.

"Second, third, fourth: Zhou Chen, hiss, it's actually true."

After seeing this ranking, Fang Yifan had no choice but to admit it.

Zhou Chen walked behind Fang Yifan and began to search for Qiao Yingzi's name, and saw Qiao Yingzi's name in the seventh place.

"Seventh place, not bad."

This ranking made Zhou Chen feel relieved. Although for Qiao Yingzi, this ranking was a little behind the previous one, it was much better than the results in the plot.

Zhou Chen soon saw Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao. When he glanced over, he found that Qiao Yingzi was also looking at him, but her eyes were not as friendly.

"Zhou Chen, how did you improve so quickly?"

Huang Zhitao pulled Qiao Yingzi to Zhou Chen and asked him curiously that she ranked third in the grade, only one place higher than Zhou Chen.

You have to know that she worked so hard and only got third place, but Zhou Chen, who was in the basic class, was able to get fourth place. This made her really unbelievable because she saw that Zhou Chen obviously spent more time playing than studying.

Zhou Chen said: "As a man, you should strike back first. I was at the bottom before because I didn't want to learn. Now that I want to learn, it's easy for me to make progress."

With his current extraordinary spirit, high school knowledge is really nothing to him. To achieve this result in more than two months cannot be said to be his limit, because he also spent a lot of time on other things.

Huang Zhitao snorted and asked, "Zhou Chen, have you mastered any good learning methods? Can you tell us a little bit?"

Qiao Yingzi also showed a curious look. Zhou Chen's progress was so fast that it made them feel unreal. They instinctively thought that Zhou Chen had mastered some good learning method.

Zhou Chen: "Based on our relationship, if I really have any good learning methods, would I not tell you?"

"Yingzi, I ranked fourth in the exam, why do you look unhappy?"

Qiao Yingzi snorted coldly: "Should I be happy? You ranked fourth and I only ranked seventh. How can you make me happy?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I think you're unhappy because it's not just because you ranked seventh. Is there another reason?"

Qiao Yingzi looked away, "What a mess! You just got fourth place. Look how proud you are of yourself. Taozi, let's go back."

"Eiko, wait."

Huang Zhitao held Qiao Yingzi and asked Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, you ranked fourth in the exam this time. According to Teacher Li's rules, you can enter the sprint class."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I will stay in the basic class and not go anywhere."

"You really are, never mind, whatever you want."

Huang Zhitao didn't know what to say. Others were scrambling to get into the sprint class, but Zhou Chen was different. Although his grades were good enough, he didn't want to join the sprint class at all.

"But if you don't leave, my uncle will be very happy."

There is a student in the basic class who ranks fourth in the grade. As the class teacher, Pan Shuai must be very happy.

Zhou Chen didn't care about anything else and kept winking at Qiao Yingzi, which made Qiao Yingzi so amused that she quickly pulled Huang Zhitao away.

Qiao Yingzi still remembers the bet they made not long ago. She thought it was a sure win, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end.

She was Qiao Yingzi, the top student Qiao Yingzi. Just when she took a nap, she was caught up by Zhou Chen, which led to the failure of the bet.

It wasn't that she wanted to go back on her word, but she was afraid that Zhou Chen would bring up the matter in public and ask her to do something embarrassing, which would really embarrass her.

So before Zhou Chen made any request, she thought it would be best to leave quickly.

Zhou Chen was just teasing Qiao Yingzi and would never really do anything to her.

Because Zhou Chen ranked fourth in the grade, it caused a sensation in the entire basic class. All the students in the basic class excitedly surrounded him and chattered non-stop.

In the next two days, Zhou Chen became a celebrity in the senior year. From teachers to students, everyone would stare at him when they saw him. Many people even pointed and talked about him, which made Zhou Chen impatient and he could only try to avoid those people.

After school these two days, Qiao Yingzi has been avoiding Zhou Chen. It was tonight that Zhou Chen finally stopped Qiao Yingzi in the stairwell of the community.

"Yingzi, you've been avoiding me for two days. Are you going to avoid me forever?"

Qiao Yingzi looked embarrassed: "No, it's mainly because I was busy studying recently and didn't notice you. Besides, why should I avoid you? I haven't done anything wrong."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "If someone doesn't want to fulfill the bet, does that count as doing something wrong?"

"Who, who didn't fulfill the bet?"

Qiao Yingzi stiffened her neck and refused to admit what she had done.

"Well, since you still agree to this bet, then according to the bet, if I win, I can make a request to you. Is that okay with you?"

When Qiao Yingzi heard this, she immediately became nervous.

"You, Zhou Chen, whatever request you want to make, I warn you, don't go too far."

Zhou Chen spread his hands and said, "I haven't even stated my request yet, and you're already warning me. Are you really that scared of me?"

"I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid you'll be unreasonable and make unreasonable demands."

Zhou Chen looked at Qiao Yingzi's nervous and worried expression, which was so cute that he wanted to laugh. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

"Don't be so nervous. I didn't ask for anything now. So, in order not to scare you, I will keep this bet for now. I will ask you for something when I think about it later."

Qiao Yingzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what requests Zhou Chen would make in the future, at least she was safe for the time being.

"Let's go home, or your mother will look for you again."

It was another Friday, and Fang Yifan excitedly sat next to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, are you free this weekend?"

"This weekend, what's up?"

"My dad wants to invite you to our house for dinner this weekend, so he wants to ask if you have time."

"Would you like to go to your house for dinner? Sure, just call me when the time comes and I'll be there right downstairs."

"As long as you agree, there's no need to call me when the time comes. I'll go upstairs to find you and call Yingzi along as well."

"Ok."

Fang Yifan invited him to dinner, and Zhou Chen knew it was definitely not just for dinner. If he guessed correctly, Fang Yuan wanted to talk to him about work.

After watching the TV series, he clearly understood how difficult it was for Fang Yuan to find a job.

I became unemployed shortly after the start of my senior year in high school, and I hadn't found a suitable job until I graduated from high school. I just took odd jobs. Whether I made money or not is another matter, but the work was definitely very hard.

It has been two months since he lost his job. Fang Yuan must have experienced too many rejections, so he invited him to dinner.

But this was exactly what he wanted. He had a good impression of the kind-hearted Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan had helped him before. If Fang Yuan was willing, he would definitely help him arrange it.

In fact, in addition to his own trading company, Fang Yuan can also be arranged to work in his uncle's law firm.

If he just went to a law firm, Fang Yuan didn't have a lawyer's license, so he had to start as an assistant and slowly pass the exam. Not only would it take a lot of time, but the salary would also not be high.

So he should continue to do his old job, which is most suitable for a man like Fang Yuan who does not have too much ambition.

On Saturday noon, Zhou Chen was taken to Fang Yifan's home, and Qiao Yingzi was also there.

What made Zhou Chen feel relieved was that Song Qian, who was hostile to him, did not go to Fang's house for dinner with them because she had classes at a cram school today. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Zhou Chen to adapt to the same table with her.

Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie cooked a big table of delicious dishes today. Although they were not as good as those cooked by five-star chefs, they were full of the taste of home cooking, which made Zhou Chen feel very warm, a bit like his home in the real world.

After dinner, Fang Yuan asked Fang Yifan to take Lei'er and Qiao Yingzi out to play, while he pulled Zhou Chen to sit on the sofa and start chatting.

"Zhou Chen, that, um, cough, I have seriously considered the matter you told me last time, and I think..."

Seeing Fang Yuan's hesitation, Tong Wenjie, who was washing dishes nearby, became extremely anxious. The couple had already discussed it and were ready to follow Zhou Chen's path.

After all, the reality they need to face now is the life of a family of four. They can't afford it just relying on Tong Wenjie's salary alone. They can't just live off their savings.

So in order to find a job, they want to give it a try even if it means bowing their heads and asking a junior for help.

Zhou Chen is not an ordinary boy. When he heard Fang Yuan’s words, he immediately understood.

"That's great. Uncle Fang, are you willing to switch to my company and help out?"

Seeing Zhou Chen taking the initiative to talk about it, Fang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "I can't say I'm helping. I'm not a young man, but I'm definitely a professional when it comes to legal affairs."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Of course I believe in your business ability, Uncle Fang. Talents like you are what our company needs most. Well, this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. If you have time this afternoon, you can go to the company with me. After you have a look, if you are satisfied with our company, I can arrange a job for you next week."

Things went so smoothly that Fang Yuan was a little caught off guard. He asked, "Are we going this afternoon? Will it delay your work?"

"No, Fangzheng, I'm also going out this afternoon, so I can go to the company and take a look."
