The world of film and television begins from childhood

"No, squad leader, why are you everywhere? Can you stop interrupting?"

"I'm not butting in. I understand Zhou Chen and know who he is."

"Haha, Zhou Chen gave you a chance to make money before, but you don't even care about your dignity anymore, or are you going to sell your soul to him?"

Seeing Qiu Shui was getting more and more irritated, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say, "Qiu Shui, stop talking. Don't talk about me. Tell me what's going on with you first. I heard recently that you and Xiao Hong had problems, and you were hooking up with other girls. What do you want to do?"

Qiu Shui said, "How can it be called a hookup? We are just exchanging literary dreams, it's not like what is said outside. I, Qiu Shui, am a serious person."

Du Zhong said sarcastically: "If you Qiu Shui are a decent person, then all of us in Renhe are decent gentlemen."

"Hey, hey, Du Zhong, don't say such harsh words. We have lived together for more than six years. How can you not believe in my character?"

"Your character, haha." Houpu and Eucommia both sneered in response.

Qiu Shui said disdainfully: "You don't understand the communication between scholars and literati."

Du Zhong also said disdainfully: "You only published a few novels and earned some pocket money thanks to Zhou Chen's relationship. Do you really think you are a scholar?"

Unlike in the TV series, today Qiu Shui, relying on Zhou Chen's relationship with the magazine publisher, has published several novels in magazines, which makes him very proud.

Qiu Shui didn't care: "If you have the ability, you can publish a few articles. It's useless to talk to you illiterate people. The world of us literati is not something you can understand."

Du Zhong snorted, "I don't understand the world of literati, but I know that people like you are very likely to be scumbags. I really can't blame Xiao Hong. If it were any other woman, she would have quarreled with you."

"We are still brothers. It's fine that you don't help me, but you also talk down on me. Aren't you too mean?" Qiu Shui shouted depressedly.

Houpu: "It is everyone's responsibility to fight against scumbag men."

These people have been with Zhou Chen for a long time and have learned a lot of new terms from him, and they use them quite skillfully.

Zhou Chen asked Qiu Shui, "Qiu Shui, what's wrong with you? Are you two-timing and having an older-younger-younger relationship?"

Qiu Shui shouted, "Zhou Chen, how come you are learning from these vulgar people? I've already told you that it's an emotional exchange in literary works. What sister-brother love? How ugly it sounds."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I think you deserve to be punished. Let me tell you, Xiao Hong is different from other girls. If she really makes a scene, you probably won't be able to handle it."

"Zhou Chen is right. If Xiao Hong gets really mad, I don't think anyone can control her."

Du Zhong and Hou Pu were also afraid of Xiao Hong's temper. They still remembered vividly the scene when Xiao Hong confronted Qiu Shui's mother.

Qiu Shui looked embarrassed. Not to mention Zhou Chen and the others, even he sometimes found it a bit unbearable to face Xiao Hong's unconcealed temper.

But he had to admit that Xiao Hong was really good to him and understood him very well.

He just didn't know why, but after being with Xiao Hong for a long time, he felt a sense of being restrained, and the longer the time, the more so.

He was flirting with other women, not because he really wanted to leave Xiao Hong, but because it made him feel very excited, as if it could stimulate his inspiration.

"I won't tell you anymore. I can handle our Xiaohong myself."

"hehe."

Zhou Chen smiled. He could guess what Qiu Shui was thinking. This guy was a complete scumbag who deserved to be punished.

He has never lost anything, so he doesn't know how to cherish it now. If he really loses it, he will probably cry his heart out.

"Brothers, let me announce something. I will be getting engaged to Zhao Yingnan in a while. As usual, I will treat everyone to dinner on the night of the engagement. We'll talk about any activities after dinner then."

Once this heavyweight news was announced, it immediately shocked several people.

"You guys are getting engaged?"

"What great news, Zhou Chen, you and Zhao Yingnan are the first couple in our class to get engaged."

"congratulations."

"I'm really envious."

Zhou Chen replied: "Thank you, the specific time has not been decided yet. I will let you know when it is decided. You must make time for it then."

"Of course. Who wouldn't go if Mr. Zhou invited us?"

If we were to ask who in their class treats everyone the most often, it would definitely be Zhou Chen. It’s not that Zhou Chen is rich and stupid, but that Zhou Chen doesn’t care. Whenever he has something good, he will treat everyone to a meal.

I rarely invite the whole class, but the number of times I invite several people from the same dormitory is so many that I can’t even count them with my hands and feet.

"Did you know that Xinyi and Yaodao are going to America?"

Zhou Chen brought up Xinyi again, which shocked Qiu Shui and the other two.

Qiu Shui has the best relationship with Xin Yi, so his reaction is the most intense.

"He's going to America, but I never heard him mention that. It must be the work of the demon sword again, right?"

Du Zhong also frowned: "Although Xinyi is temporarily stable now, his illness is uncertain. Why are they going to America?"

Qiu Shui snorted coldly, "Why else? It's no secret that Yao Dao wants to go to America. I just didn't expect her to be so shameless. Xin Yi is in such a state, but she still wants to go, and she wants to drag Xin Yi to go with her. Does she really want to torture Xin Yi to death?"

Zhou Chen said, "She said she was going to America to treat Xinyi. Maybe that's her intention, but I'm not judging her by my own standards. Yaodao is a very selfish person. If it wasn't for Xinyi's sake, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with her."

"Some women are a blessing, some women are a curse. Fortunately, I don't have this kind of trouble now."

"Hey, squad leader, you've never been in love before, but you have deep feelings about it."

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've probably seen a pig run."

"You guys are really good at talking nonsense. We are talking about Xinyi's affairs now, don't go off topic."

"What can we do? It's Xinyi's own business. If he has made his own decision, how can we persuade him? We can't persuade him at all."

Everyone had been with Xinyi for more than six years and knew very well what kind of person he was. Given how infatuated he was with Yaodao, he would probably have died for Yaodao's sake. Even if they wanted to persuade him, it was impossible.

"I have already asked Xinyi. He has indeed decided to seek treatment from the demon sword America, and he also asked me to help him. I have decided to help him. I went to Hong Kong before to find a way to get him to America."

"Are you crazy?"

Qiu Shui stared at Zhou Chen angrily: "You should know very well what Xinyi will experience after going to America. Why do you let him go?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "If you have the ability to convince him, then go ahead and convince him. I promise I have no objection."

Qiu Shui, who was originally angry, became like a deflated balloon when he heard this and could no longer speak.

"I'm telling you this just to get you prepared and think about how to say goodbye to Xinyi."

The people in the dormitory fell silent for a moment. They had been together for more than six years and had a deep relationship. Suddenly someone was leaving and they all felt extremely sad.

There was a knock on the dormitory door.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Hou Pu said: "Zhou Chen, this is your Zhao Yingnan."

"I'm here, come in."

Zhao Yingnan pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a bunch of things in her hands.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I brought you some. And these magnolias, you can share them among yourselves."

Hou Pu took the plastic bag without hesitation and said, "Thank you, Zhao Yingnan. Zhou Chen sent me dinner as soon as he got back. I don't know where this guy got the confidence to find a girlfriend like you who cares about me and sends me dinner every day."

"You're welcome. I'm not as good as you say."

Zhao Yingnan responded with a smile, then took out the dinner from the bag and placed it on Zhou Chen's table.

"I know it's your first day at the emergency room today and you must be very tired, so I bought you some nutritious dinner and asked you to eat more."

"Ah."

Zhou Chen was not polite. He had already gotten used to Zhao Yingnan's meticulous care since his internship.

Although Zhao Yingnan is impetuous and looks like a heroine, she is indeed good at taking care of people. At least Zhou Chen has been married several times, and other wives did not prepare meals for him every morning and evening and take care of him like Zhao Yingnan did.

It’s not that the other people are bad, but they don’t have that habit, and Zhou Chen doesn’t ask them to take care of him all the time.

Zhao Yingnan attaches great importance to Zhou Chen and wants to consider Zhou Chen in everything. She has developed a habit for herself and also helps Zhou Chen develop a habit.

Looking at Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan sitting at the table eating together, Qiu Shui and the other two watched for a while, and Qiu Shui finally couldn't help it.

"I have something else to do. I need to go out for a while. Squad leader, Du Zhong, shall we go out for a walk together?"

Houpu and Eucommia also nodded immediately, stood up quickly, and left the dormitory with Qiu Shui.

"I told them about our engagement, and asked everyone to get together on the engagement night."

Zhao Yingnan smiled and said, "Of course. Come to think of it, we haven't gotten together since we started our internship, so this is a good opportunity for us to get together."

"That's a deal, I'll go reserve a seat then and we'll have fun tonight."

"Ah."

Zhao Yingnan continued, "Yao Dao has already communicated with the school and decided not to pursue a doctorate. She told me that she wanted to treat you to a meal to thank you."

Zhou Chen instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Xinyi, he sighed and said, "Okay, then they set a time, and you come with me then."

Zhao Yingnan nodded and said, "Well, don't be so rude when the time comes."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, "Am I so unreliable? I've already helped you, I won't regret turning my back on you."

"I know our husband is the best."

"You just know how to say nice things."

Chapter 316 Engagement, Dinner, Going to the Bar

After being busy in the emergency pediatric department for more than ten days, Zhou Chen finally got two days of rest as he wished. These two days happened to be the days when he was getting engaged to Zhao Yingnan.

The parents of both sides gathered together, but there was only one table of people. On Zhou Chen's side, there were only three of them, including him, his parents, and on Zhao Yingnan's side, there were a little more, seven people in total. In total, there were exactly ten people, which could fit at one table.

Engagement is different from marriage. There is no need to make a big fuss. It will be enough for the bride and groom and their parents to arrive. Other relatives may also come if they are willing.

But generally speaking, there won’t be too many relatives coming, at most only some very close relatives.

Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan have been dating for nearly six years. Both sets of parents have known about it for a long time, and they have met more than once. This engagement can be said to be a natural outcome.

Although they had been dating for many years and were already very familiar with each other, Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping were still very polite. They treated the woman with all the necessary respects, which made Zhao Yingnan's parents very satisfied.

In particular, Zhao Yingnan's grandmother kept praising Zhou Chen, saying that her granddaughter was so lucky to have found such a good fiancé like Zhou Chen.

This kind of compliment made Zhou Chen feel a little embarrassed. Although Grandma Zhao Yingnan was old, she was really good at talking and praising people. She was a very kind and gentle old woman.

Several female relatives of Zhao Yingnan were filled with surprise when they saw the diamond ring and bracelet on Zhao Yingnan's hand.

At that time, China was still a little backward compared to Hong Kong. These jewellery were all bought in Hong Kong and they were all big brands. Naturally, they were very eye-catching for women.

Several women kept chatting with Zhao Yingnan about jewelry and interesting things about Hong Kong, while the two fathers clinked their glasses and drank non-stop.

Since they were engaged, they naturally had to discuss marriage. Finally, the parents of both sides reached a consensus that Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan would get married after they graduated with their doctorates.

After the dinner, Zhou Chen was pulled aside by Lao Zhao.

"Zhou Chen, listen to me, my daughter is almost in your hands. If you dare to treat her badly, I will shoot you."

Zhou Zhiming's alcohol tolerance was not bad, so Lao Zhao, who was drinking with him today, also drank quite a lot and warned Zhou Chen while drunk.

Zhou Chen naturally answered affirmatively: "Uncle, don't worry, I promise that I will not let Yingnan suffer any grievances, and I will definitely let her live better than others."

Lao Zhao: "I hope you remember what you said."

Although Lao Zhao was a little drunk, he still behaved like a soldier and left with his family after finishing the job.

"Son, take Yingnan out for a walk. I'll take your dad back to rest."

The restaurant was not far from the house, so Zhou Chen was not worried about his mother having to support his drunk father back home alone.

"Well, Mom, then you should be careful."

Although Zhou Zhiming could drink, he usually only drank two or three taels at most at home and rarely got drunk. The reason why he drank so much today was mainly because he was happy.

Zhao Yingnan held Zhou Chen's arm and walked on the street with a happy face.

She was joyful all day today. Getting engaged meant that her relationship with Zhou Chen had taken a step forward and they were moving towards becoming a real family. This was something she had always longed for, so of course she was happy.

"Where are we going to play?"

"Where do you want to play?"

The afternoon was long, so it was impossible for the two of them to wander around the streets all the time. Zhao Yingnan was a rather old-fashioned type, and she seldom had any entertainment activities. Even if she did, it was always Zhou Chen who took her there. She usually went to class or work, and the rest of the time she was around Zhou Chen.

In a word, Zhao Yingnan is a girl who doesn't know how to have fun. There may be very few women like this in twenty years, but in this era, there are still many women with this kind of personality.
