The world of film and television begins from childhood

If he wanted to buy the property, he would be willing to wait for two months, but he was not willing to wait to rent it. He planned to wait and see in the afternoon.

"Yanjing's roast duck is very famous, and this, this..."

With money in hand, Zhou Chen naturally would not live a tight life. He took Zhao Yingnan to a nice restaurant and ordered several famous local dishes.

Zhao Yingnan looked at Zhou Chen in surprise: "Why do I feel like you are very familiar with Yanjing, as if you have lived here for many years."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I lived here in my previous life."

This was the truth, but to Zhao Yingnan, it sounded like Zhou Chen was joking.

"Are you really planning to buy a house? Do you have enough money?"

"It should be enough. The sales of my novels have been good in the past few months, and I have earned a lot of money. The next Zhu Xian will also be on sale soon, so the money should be enough."

To be honest, Zhou Chen himself didn't expect that he could get such a big share of the profits from a physically published book.

His understanding of novels was still stuck in the realm of twenty years later, and he had no idea about physical publishing. Even in the 90s, the amount of money earned from a best-selling book was not small.

If he hadn't devoted himself to studying medicine, he really wanted to "write" a few more novels. After a few years, he could buy a few houses or villas in Yanjing. Even if he did nothing in the future, he would be able to become a wealthy man.

"I plan to buy a house for my parents to live in first, and then next year or the year after, when I have saved enough money, I will buy a better house for our wedding. What do you think?"

Zhao Yingnan blushed immediately and said helplessly: "What marriage, wedding house, I don't know, why are you asking me?"

Although she said this, this sentence made her happier than thousands of sweet words.

Most women of this era are still very simple. In their view, if a man starts preparing a wedding house, he has undoubtedly decided to be with you.

Whether it is decades later or decades ago, when a man gets married, a house is the first factor, even in rural areas.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Yingnan, whose face was red, and continued to tease her.

"Don't you have any requirements for your wedding room?"

Even though Zhao Yingnan is a heroine like Jiang Jie, she can't stand Zhou Chen's blatant teasing.

"I, I haven't even said I want to marry you, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't you want to marry me?"

Zhou Chen looked heartbroken, and Zhao Yingnan was so scared that she quickly shook her head: "No, I'm not. I just think that we are still in school, and it's too early to talk about this. We still have to wait a few years before graduation. Can we wait until we graduate to talk about this?"

Seeing Zhao Yingnan's nervous and cautious look, Zhou Chen suddenly laughed and said, "I'm just teasing you."

"You're so annoying." Zhao Yingnan rolled her eyes, looking very unhappy.

It has been more than a year since Zhou Chen came into this world. Although he and Zhao Yingnan have established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, to be honest, their feelings are not very deep.

After experiencing several relationships, Zhou Chen no longer believes in love at first sight. He believes more in love that grows over time. So although he has started preparing for a house and other things, he has never really considered getting married. At least before graduation, he had never thought about having a wedding.

Sometimes when Zhou Chen was alone, he would recall the past and think that he was becoming more and more of a scumbag.

After traveling through several worlds, he has already had many relationships. Although sometimes it is due to the system, he has indeed invested true feelings.

When asked which world contained the deepest love, the first person Zhou Chen thought of was Qiao Yingzi in Little Joy.

Maybe he didn't spend as much time with Qiao Yingzi as Yi Fei in All Is Well, but their relationship started in high school, from acquaintance to understanding, and finally marriage and having children. In addition, Qiao Yingzi's illness made him feel even more pity for her.

But after several marriages in different worlds, he couldn't control himself in the world of Little Joy and had a second woman, so he felt that he was really a scumbag.

The saying that a boy who slays a dragon will eventually become a dragon does make some sense. When faced with temptation, his resistance is still far from enough.

After a sumptuous lunch, Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan started their house-hunting journey again, but after a whole day, they still hadn’t found a satisfactory house.

In the following period of time, when he was in college, Zhou Chen continued to study. With his current spirit, studying was no longer a difficult task for him.

However, this time, the learning was targeted. Whenever Zhou Chen encountered something he didn't understand, he would take the initiative to ask the teacher, which rarely happened in his past learning career.

While studying, Zhou Chen also wrote down the remaining parts of Zhu Xian and handed it to the publishing house. Then he told the publishing house that due to the heavy study workload, there might be no new books released for a long time.

Although the person in charge of the publishing house felt regretful, he did not force him. After all, Zhou Chen attended a prestigious medical school and would graduate with a doctorate degree. His salary would be no worse than that of a best-selling author. It was impossible for them to impress Zhou Chen with his literary dream.

As for the release of Zhu Xian, the time was finally set, which is also New Year's Day, January 1st.

Due to the popularity of Triple Door, Zhou Chen has gained a certain degree of fame. So even though the publishing house was not optimistic about the release of Zhu Xian, it still gave it a lot of publicity, hoping that Zhu Xian could create another miracle.

In fact, Zhou Chen was also nervous when listening to Zhu Xian. Although Triple Door was released a few years earlier, it was after all a story about a realistic school and had a large reading base among teenagers.

But it is hard to say about the fairy-tale genre like Zhu Xian. After all, there is no foundation for fairy-tale genres now. It is still the era of martial arts novels. The ancient Shushan Swordsman is still too far away.

Therefore, no one can say for sure whether Zhu Xian will be successful.

Chapter 308: Treat, the first party

After nearly a month of inquiring and searching, Zhou Chen finally rented a house in a community about one kilometer away from the college.

It is still very difficult to find a three-bedroom, two-living-room rental house nowadays. Zhou Chen rented one for two years at a slightly favorable price.

The house is on the third floor and has three bedrooms and two living rooms, with an area of ​​only about 100 square meters. However, because it is not an elevator building and the common area is very small, the space is still very large, which is more than enough for their family.

In addition, Zhou Chen also looked at a new real estate project more than two kilometers away from the college. The foundation of the project was being laid and it had not yet been officially sold. However, after Zhou Chen looked at the model and drawings, he thought it was very good.

He was attracted by the building with the best location in the community. It had only four floors, and each unit on the east side had one elevator per household. Most importantly, there was a yard of about 20 square meters on the first floor.

Many people say that it is best not to buy a house on the first floor because of problems such as water leaks and many mosquitoes. However, Zhou Chen does not care about these because these can be solved through later decoration.

Compared with the upstairs, the first floor of this building is obviously in better conditions.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate to buy the house he liked because it hadn't been put on sale yet. So he paid a deposit and reserved the house. As long as it was put on the market, he would have the first right of purchase.

According to estimates, it will take about one and a half to two years to deliver the house, so Zhou Chen has more than enough time, and it will not be a problem even if he pays the full amount by then.

The house problem has been solved for the time being, but Zhou Chen has not yet finished the work on the newsstand. He has looked at several locations, but has not officially started working on them.

In this day and age, you can’t just open a newsstand whenever you want. There is no problem with the supply of goods, but other procedures also need to be slowly sorted out.

Zhou Chen was not too anxious. After all, there were still a few months before he went home for the New Year, so he had plenty of time to do it.

That's right, he planned to bring his parents to Yanjing when he returned home for the Spring Festival next year.

Boys' dormitory.

"Zhou Chen, how on earth did you study? You actually got first place in the class, much higher than the second place?"

The other five people in the dormitory surrounded Zhou Chen, especially the class monitor Hou Pu, who looked very shocked.

"Yeah, look how angry the class monitor is. This is the first exam and he was trying his best to get first place, but in the end he was so much worse than you."

Xinyi smiled with glee. He didn't pass Houpu this time, but his brother Zhou Chen had a high score. As long as there was someone who could suppress Houpu and prevent him from getting too cocky, it would be enough.

Zhou Chen seemed calm: "It's just a small test, not a final exam or a professional exam."

Hou Pu said depressedly, "I just can't understand. You spend all day either writing novels or going out on dates with Zhao Yingnan. You don't even study half as much as I do. How come you have such a high score than me?"

In terms of study effort, Houpu is definitely the hardest-working one in their dormitory, and can also be said to be the hardest-working one in their class.

On the contrary, Zhou Chen and the lazy Qiu Shui are definitely the two people in the class who spend the least time on studying.

As expected, Qiu Shui ranked last, but Zhou Chen took first place, which made Hou Pu unable to get over it.

Qiu Shui said, "What's so unclear about this? Genius, genius, do you understand? Even though Zhou Chen has studied for a shorter time than you, his brain works faster. Even if he uses half the time, he can still learn and understand faster than you. So, don't worry too much. There is no point in worrying about some things."

Xinyi also patted Houpu on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, don't make yourself look boring. There's no need to compare yourself with him. Haven't you seen enough of his abnormalities in the past year? His learning ability is better than yours, which has long been proven. You are the only one who is still struggling. We are all used to it."

Those who can be admitted to Renhe Medical College are definitely smart people, but Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, and his thinking and learning abilities are much stronger than theirs. As long as he is willing to spend time to learn, ordinary people really can't compare to him.

“You guys are really.”

Hou Pu looked at Qiu Shui and the others with a look of disappointment. Zhou Chen's performance did not make him despair, but instead aroused his competitive spirit. He never thought that he was worse than others.

He originally thought that everyone else in the dormitory had the same idea as him, but when he saw Qiu Shui, Xin Yi and others lying down, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

This dormitory is so difficult, he is the only normal person.

"Clap clap."

Zhou Chen clapped his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I need help with something tomorrow. If anyone is willing to help me, let's go to the restaurant later and have some wine and meat. It's my treat."

Qiu Shui was the first to shout, "We are all brothers. Helping someone is just a matter of a word. You are too polite."

Gu Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah."

Du Zhong hesitated and said, "Originally, I was going to ask Gu Xiaoman to go to the library to read books tomorrow. Since you want to help, I will go to help you first, and then ask Gu Xiaoman out after I'm done."

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder vigorously: "Du Zhong, you are a real brother. Just based on this sentence, I must drink one later."

After saying that, he looked at the last two people, Xinyi and Houpu.

"Where are you two?"

Xin Yi said seriously, "First of all, I'm not helping you just to drink and eat meat, but because we are brothers, and we have to help brothers."

Zhou Chen pretended to be touched: "Good brother, good brother."

Hou Pu said cautiously: "I still have to study tomorrow, and there are things in class that I need to deal with."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "After I help you tomorrow, there will be another meal."

"Zhou Chen, look at what you have done, it's too...Okay, no matter how big the problem is, it is definitely not as big as yours. I promise to help you tomorrow." Houpu patted his chest and said loudly.

"Look at you, you bitch."

Qiu Shui and the others all looked at him with disdain, but Hou Pu was thick-skinned enough to not take it seriously at all.

Zhou Chen added: "In addition to us, the girls from the dormitory will also come over, so your chance has come."

"Will Xiaohong come?" Gu Ming asked impatiently.

"I've already made an appointment with Zhao Yingnan. She said she would bring people from the dormitory over. Xiaohong is in the same dormitory with her, so she will definitely come."

"That's great."

Gu Ming jumped up happily: "You guys chat first, I'll find some clothes to change."

"Look how happy he is."

Ignoring everyone's ridicule, Gu Ming hummed a song and picked out clothes.

Du Zhong asked curiously, "Zhou Chen, you asked us to help you tomorrow. What kind of help are you asking us to help with? Not only did you ask us to help, but you also asked girls to help with us?"

Everyone reacted and looked at Zhou Chen curiously: "Yes, what are you going to do?"

"move place."

"Moving? Have you found a house?"

Qiu Shui and the others were all very surprised. They all knew that Zhou Chen had been looking for a house for a long time, but they didn't expect that he had already found one and was preparing to move in.

"Well, I've found a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. I'm going to the mall to buy household items tomorrow. I'll trouble you guys to do the hard work."

Hou Pu was surprised and asked, "Why did you rent such a big house? Even if you want to have sex with Zhao Yingnan and spend time alone together, you don't need such a big house, right?"

Qiu Shui chuckled and said, "Squad leader, you don't understand this, right? Having more rooms has its advantages. Today you can be in this room, tomorrow you can be in that room, and the day after tomorrow you can be in the bathroom. There are many choices and a lot of fun."

“Hey, hey, hey, hey…”

Xinyi and Duzhong, the two good friends, understood Qiu Shui's meaning immediately and laughed. However, Houpu and Gu Ming were completely confused and didn't understand what Qiu Shui meant.

Zhou Chen slapped him and said, "You're the only one who can say that. Stop talking nonsense. If you want to have dinner with girls, pack up quickly and go to the restaurant."

"Let's go, let's go."

When they heard about having dinner, especially with girls, they immediately became excited. They quickly changed their clothes and prepared to go.

There are six boys in a dormitory and six girls in a dormitory, which adds up to twelve people. As for the other people in the class, Zhou Chen just called Wu Ruixiang.

There were originally thirteen people, but Liu Tingting joined in.

Liu Tingting and Zhao Yingnan were not in the same dormitory, and because Liu Tingting had feelings for Zhou Chen, Zhao Yingnan didn't even think of calling her.

But after Gu Xiaoman, who was such a big mouth, told others about it, Liu Tingting insisted on coming to help, so Zhao Yingnan had no choice but to take her with her.

Wu Ruixiang was invited because he had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, who took the initiative to invite him.

So, thirteen people became fourteen.

There were fourteen people at a table, and an ordinary small restaurant couldn't accommodate them all, so Zhou Chen found a larger restaurant near the school, where the large round table was just enough for everyone.

"Everyone, everyone."

As soon as the dishes came up, Houpu stood up and shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Today is our first large gathering after military training, so we would like to thank our host, Zhou Chen. Let's applaud."
