The world of film and television begins from childhood

"what idea?"

Sun Yi sat up straight and said seriously, "Didn't Xiaochen say he was going to Shanghai to study? I feel bad when I think about him going to school and not being able to see him for a long time, so I wonder if we can buy a house in Shanghai?"

Zhou Guofu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Why do you have this idea?"

Sun Yi: "This is what I think. Xiaochen went to Shanghai to study. He will definitely have a bright future and will most likely stay in Shanghai. I don't want to be separated from my son. Besides, I will retire in a few years. If I buy a house now, when Xiaochen graduates, I will also be almost retired. Then I can go directly to Shanghai to take care of him."

Zhou Guofu: "It's a good idea, and with the current housing prices, if you can buy a house in Shanghai, you will definitely not lose money. However, I still have ten years before retirement. If you all go to Shanghai, will you leave me here alone?"

"You can also try to transfer to the Magic City. Didn't you say that an old classmate of yours is the vice president of a university in the Magic City? You can contact him. If you can be transferred to the Magic City, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Zhou Guofu said in embarrassment: "How can it be that easy? This is not a trivial matter. Besides, Shanghai and Ningbo are not cities of the same level."

Sun Yi said, "Let's give it a try. Anyway, I've made up my mind. If Xiaochen doesn't come back in the future, I will follow him to the Magic City. Even if we don't live together, as long as I can be in the same city with him, I will be satisfied."

The decision to adopt a child was made, firstly, to leave offspring for the Zhou family, and secondly, to provide someone to rely on when they were old, so that the old couple would not be left alone in the end.

That's why Sun Yi wanted to live in the same city with her son, even if they didn't live together.

"And when Xiaochen gets married, I can help him take care of the children. Yes, I should find a way to get him to have two more children. More children will make things more lively."

Seeing his wife's firm attitude and talking about taking care of the children, Zhou Guofu was also moved. Zhou Chen is not only Sun Yi's pride, but also his pride.

"But houses in Shanghai are not cheap. Although we have saved some money over the years, it is definitely not enough."

"That's why we have to buy it early. It's best to buy it before we retire. That way it will be easier to get a loan. I saw on the news that if you can transfer to Shanghai for work and are rated as a talent introduction, you can get a discount on buying a house."

"Then I'll study it carefully."

Zhou Chen didn't know that just because of his decision, his parents were actually planning to buy a house in Shanghai.

He went to Shanghai to study at university because it was close to home and his adoptive parents were very kind to him, so he didn't want to leave them.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, he has confirmed that he has traveled to the world of Ode to Joy, and the plot of Ode to Joy revolves around the Magic City, so for the sake of future plots, he thinks it is best to start the layout from the Magic City.

Chapter 403 Two years later, financial crisis, Ode to Joy community

Two years later!

Located on the 18th floor of a high-end commercial building in Xujiahui, there is an office area of ​​approximately several hundred square meters.

This is the office location of a company called Chenxing Finance.

Chenxing Finance was naturally founded by Zhou Chen. He has been enrolled in school for two years now, and he started working on his own when he was a freshman.

However, the funds were limited at that time. The only money I had was the red envelopes given by my parents during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, plus my own savings, which amounted to less than 20,000 yuan.

Zhou Chen started investing in the stock market with this capital of less than 20,000 yuan.

After several worlds, Zhou Chen has become familiar with the stock market. He started paying attention to the stock market very early, and after entering university, he began to trade stocks.

However, at the beginning, my luck was not very good. In the first month, I lost a lot of my capital of less than 20,000 yuan. It was not until the second month that my fortune began to increase steadily.

The stock market is very profitable, but only a very few people can make money.

Moreover, for someone with small capital like Zhou Chen, it is okay to make a little money, but to make a lot of money is almost impossible unless there is a huge opportunity.

But Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. He was still waiting for the opportunity, because he knew that starting from 07, a global financial crisis would slowly begin.

From that time on, he began to make a fortune from the stock market.

Two years later, Zhou Chen has made a lot of money from the financial crisis, mainly because he had relatively little original capital. But even so, in the second half of this year, his net worth exceeded 300 million.

After turning 18, Zhou Chen established Chenxing Finance and rented the current area.

This major financial crisis has not yet ended. The company he founded, Chenxing Finance, mainly deals with stock market securities, investments, etc.

Today, Chenxing Finance already has dozens of employees, but most of them are tools who do things according to Zhou Chen's instructions and look for investment opportunities.

"Boss, according to your instructions, the net has been closed. The total profit this time is 37 million."

Wang Bing stood in front of the desk with a very respectful attitude.

Wang Bing, who has been engaged in the financial industry for more than ten years, has been completely impressed by Zhou Chen's abilities over the past few months since he was poached by Zhou Chen with a high salary.

If there really is a genius in this world, he feels that it must be his genius boss.

At the age of eighteen, he is still just a child in the eyes of many people, but Zhou Chen has already earned unimaginable wealth through his own abilities.

Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Inform the finance department that each person will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan. Except for the necessary personnel, everyone else can take a few days off."

"Thank you boss."

Wang Bing responded happily.

Although Chenxing Finance has only been established for half a year, its profits are absolutely astonishing. Zhou Chen pays high salaries and gives bonuses from time to time, so he is very popular.

"Please help me look after the company for the next period of time. I have other things to do during this time."

The financial crisis has come to an end, and Zhou Chen is no longer prepared to continue to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he is ready to start working in other industries.

After coming out of the company and preparing to go back to school, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call from his mother Sun Yi.

"Mom, why are you calling me at this time?"

During the two years that he was studying in Shanghai, Sun Yi called him every other day, but she basically called him at night and rarely called him during the day.

"Xiaochen, your father and I have arrived in Shanghai. We will be at your school soon. Let's have lunch together at noon."

"Mom, why did you and Dad suddenly come to the Magic City? Why didn't you notify me so that I could send a car to pick you up?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised by his parents' arrival. Although they had come to Shanghai to see him before, most of them had greeted him in advance. This was the first time they had arrived so suddenly without saying a word.

"Isn't this a surprise for you? Besides, we are going to the Magic City not only to see you, but also to do something very important."

Zhou Chen: "If you have any problem, just tell me and I'll help you. Where are you now? I'll drive you there."

"No need, we will be at your school soon, just wait for us at the gate."

"Ok."

Zhou Chen waited at the school gate for twenty minutes and saw a taxi driving over. His parents got out of the taxi and waved at him.

"Dad, mom."

Zhou Chen walked up quickly.

When Sun Yi saw Zhou Chen coming, she immediately hugged him, then grabbed his shoulders and kept looking at him.

"My son has grown up and is becoming more and more handsome. Xiaochen, are there any girls chasing you at school?"

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? My classmates are basically two or three years older than me. They are very nice to me, but there are no more chasing me."

Sun Yi: "The same class won't work, you can find someone from a younger class. My son is so handsome and smart, let alone two or three years older, even if he is seven or eight years older, there will be people who like him."

In her eyes, her son Zhou Chen is the most handsome man in the world and is worthy of any woman.

Zhou Guofu said, "Let's go, let's find a restaurant and sit down and talk slowly."

Zhou Chen: "Dad, I have someone booked a seat. A car will come to pick us up soon. Just wait a few minutes."

"You even arranged a car? Where did you get the car?" Zhou Guofu asked in surprise.

Zhou Chen said: "Dad, I made some money recently and opened a small company. The car is for the company."

"Made from stock trading?"

Zhou Guofu knew that Zhou Chen was trading stocks because when Zhou Chen went home on holidays, he would often check stocks on his computer, and he would often check stocks when he had nothing to do.

It’s just that his money was strictly guarded, and he wanted to invest in stocks, but he didn’t have the funds.

"Yeah, almost."

No matter how Sun Yike made his money, she was immediately filled with pride when she heard that her son had made money and started a company. "My son is amazing. We are going to stay in Shanghai for two days this time. Can you take us to your company when you have time?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course it's no problem, but, Mom and Dad, this is not a holiday, how did you find time to come here? And you plan to stay for two days?"

Sun Yi smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's something important. I'll tell you later when we have dinner."

"Okay, let's go eat first, and you can stay in the house I rented at night. It's often cleaned there, so it's very clean."

Although he is in college, Zhou Chen has rented a house with two bedrooms and a living room near the school. It is big enough for his parents to stay when they come. When the Zhou couple came here before, they lived there.

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove over and stopped in front of Zhou Chen and the others. The driver quickly opened the door and got out.

"boss."

"Dad, Mom, the car is here, let's get in first."

Zhou Chen pulled his parents into the car. After they got in, Zhou Guofu couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you wanted to start a small company? This car isn't cheap, is it?"

"It's OK. Nowadays, when starting a company, all you need is face, and the car is also for appearance."

Sun Yi said happily: "Old Zhou, why are you asking so many questions? Our son has made great progress, we should be happy, why are you asking so many questions?"

She really doted on Zhou Chen. As a teacher, she knew very well that children should not be spoiled, but when it came to herself, she couldn't control herself at all and doted on Zhou Chen uncontrollably.

In other words, Zhou Chen was precocious and lived for many years. If he were an ordinary child, he would most likely have been spoiled.

"Xiaochen, your father and I came to the Magic City this time. In addition to visiting you, we also have one thing to do. We bought a house in the Magic City."

"what?"

Zhou Chen's eyes widened as he looked at his parents in astonishment: "You bought a house in Shanghai? What happened? Why didn't you tell me? Do you have enough money?"

Sun Yi smiled and said, "Your father and I have saved a lot of money over the years, and we mortgaged our two houses, which is just enough to buy a house in Shanghai."

The couple, one is a university professor and the other is a high school grade director. They both have high salaries and good benefits, and they already have two houses.

Zhou Chen's schooling has been almost free over the years and he hasn't spent any money at all, so his family has been able to save money.

The current housing prices in Shanghai are not low, but they are not prepared to buy a house in the best location, so they mortgaged their two houses, and with the money they had, it was just enough to buy a new house.

Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Mom, if you want to buy a house, just tell me. You don't need to mortgage the house in your hometown. I can buy one for you directly."

Zhou Guofu said, "Your mother and I are not old yet, so we don't need you to spend money to buy a house for us. You can use the money you earn yourself, and we don't spend much on food and drink. Your mother wanted to come to Shanghai to accompany you after retirement, so we bought a house in Shanghai."

Zhou Chen was so moved that he grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Mom, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to repay you."

Sun Yi said: "We don't need you to repay us. As long as you are happy, we will be happy. After dinner, we will take you there to have a look. However, we are buying a pre-sale property, so we can't see the house yet."

"Mom, where did you buy it? What's the name of the neighborhood?"

"It seemed to be called Ode to Joy. We thought the name sounded nice and the location was good, so we decided on it."

"Ode to Joy?"

Zhou Chen was shocked again.

How could this be such a coincidence? Could it be the Ode to Joy community in the Ode to Joy TV series?

"Okay, let's go over and take a look after dinner."

After dinner, Zhou Chen asked the driver to take them to the Ode to Joy community. When they arrived, they found that the building had just started to be built and it would probably take another one or two years to be completed.

But after looking at the location and the name of the community, Zhou Chen was certain that this should be the community where the plot of Ode to Joy began.

What surprised Zhou Chen even more was that his parents bought the apartment on the 21st floor. He didn't know if it was the building where the five beauties from Ode to Joy lived.

After knowing that his parents bought the house from Ode to Joy, Zhou Chen no longer thought about returning it. Anyway, he would definitely come into contact with the five beauties from Ode to Joy in the future, so it was not bad to have this house.

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi stayed in Shanghai for three days. During these three days, Zhou Chen took them shopping in various places in Shanghai, bought them a lot of things, and finally asked the driver to take them back.

They originally wanted to refuse, but Zhou Chen's attitude was also very firm. In the end, the couple could only happily accept their son's kindness and let the driver take them back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Zhou Chen was planning to go back a few days before the New Year, but suddenly he received a call from Director Xie of the welfare home, so he decided to go to Daishan before going home.

Because he was an adult and had a driver's license, Zhou Chen drove himself when he left Shanghai. It took him nearly four hours to reach Daishan County.

"Aunt Dean."

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at the welfare home, he saw the director Xie Yajing waiting at the door, so he walked over quickly.

Xie Yajing grabbed Zhou Chen's hand, tears in her eyes, and said happily: "Xiaochen has grown taller and more handsome."

Xie Yajing never got married in her entire life and devoted herself to the welfare home. Although Zhou Chen did not spend a long time with her, deep down in her heart, she treated Zhou Chen as her own child.

"Aunt Dean, it's cold outside, let's go in first."

"well."

Xie Yajing grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and was unwilling to let go for a moment.

The two walked into the welfare home, and Zhou Chen saw many children playing in the snow in the yard. Watching them playing, he couldn't help but think of his life in the welfare home.
