The world of film and television begins from childhood

"It doesn't matter. The work clothes of Chenxing Textile Factory are still very nice."

As the largest private enterprise in Jinling, Chenxing Textile Factory has a great reputation, especially in this area. One can often see Chenxing employees wearing red factory uniforms. As a newspaper reporter, Ye Xiaolang naturally knows about Chenxing Textile Factory.

Qiao Yicheng asked, "Erqiang, why didn't Simei come with you?"

Qiao Erqiang replied, "Simei said that their hotel has something important to do today and won't let me take leave, so she asked me to tell you."

"I see."

Qiao Yicheng nodded, without showing anything on the surface, but he understood in his heart. He knew that the reason Qiao Simei didn't want to come was definitely not because she was busy with work, but because Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli would also be here today.

Ever since that incident, their relationship has become full of problems. Even the sisters Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei have become estranged.

As the eldest brother, he certainly thought about mediation, but Qiao Sanli was still easy to deal with, but Qiao Simei, for some reason, just refused to give in, so the relationship between the two sides is still very tense.

This time, in addition to wanting to introduce his girlfriend, he also wanted to see if he could make Zhou Chen and Qiao Simei reconcile.

In his opinion, it had been so long since things happened, and they would definitely become a family in the future, so why make things so awkward?

But now it seems that Zhou Chen is willing to give him face, but his little sister does not give him face, which makes him angry and helpless.

Qiao Yicheng asked Qiao Erqiang to go in and wait, but Qiao Erqiang did not go in. Instead, he stood outside with Qiao Yicheng and the others and waited.

Soon, Zhou Chen drove to the entrance of the hotel and found an empty space to stop.

"coming."

Qiao Yicheng said immediately when he saw Zhou Chen’s car.

Ye Xiaolang looked at Zhou Chen's crown in surprise: "Yicheng, is this your friend's car? What does your friend do? Why does he have a private car?"

In this era, private cars represent strength, especially since she happened to know this Crown, a car worth hundreds of thousands, which is not something that ordinary people can drive.

Qiao Yicheng smacked his lips and said, "He's a student, but he's also a second-generation rich man. His family is very wealthy."

"is it?"

Ye Xiaolang was surprised, she already knew that Qiao Yichen came from an ordinary family and was able to get into the TV station because of his own abilities.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so she thought Qiao Yicheng's friends should be similar, but she didn't expect that there was actually a rich second-generation.

He is still in school, but he can drive a private car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. It seems that he is very rich.

After Zhou Chen parked the car, the four of them got out quickly and walked straight to Qiao Yicheng and the others.

"Qi Weimin, you are so smart that you even know how to hitchhike." Qiao Yicheng came up and started to mock.

Qi Weimin laughed and said, "I'm not like you, who would rather save face than suffer. If there's a car to ride on, why not?"

Qiao Yicheng said without showing any weakness: "Yes, I am not as shameless as you."

"Brother, cousin, can you please stop arguing?" Qiao Sanli interrupted helplessly.

Qiao Yicheng hummed twice, then pointed at Ye Xiaolang and introduced her to everyone: "This is my girlfriend, Ye Xiaolang."

"Xiao Lang, this is my older sister Qiao Sanli, this is Sanli's boyfriend and my best friend, Zhou Chen; as for this one, we are cousins, Qi Weimin, and this is Qi Weimin's girlfriend, Chang Xingyu."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, Miss Ye."

…………

Several people greeted each other, and then Qiao Yicheng said, "Since everyone is here, let's go in."

Qi Weimin suddenly asked, "Isn't Simei here?"

Qiao Yicheng's expression changed slightly: "Simei is busy with work and told me so." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Chen unconsciously.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen didn't react at all. It didn't matter to him whether Qiao Simei came or not. It would be better if she didn't come.

Qiao Yicheng was still very generous today and directly booked a private room. After the food came, what he said surprised everyone present.

"Today I called you to dinner, in addition to announcing that Xiao Lang is my girlfriend, there is actually a more important thing."

"What's the matter, brother?" Qiao Sanli asked curiously.

Qiao Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang looked at each other and both smiled.

"Xiao Lang and I have discussed it and are ready to get married."

"what?"

Except for Zhou Chen, the others were all horrified.

Qiao Yicheng smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised?"

Qiao Sanli glanced at Ye Xiaolang, then said to Qiao Yicheng, "Brother, getting married is not a trivial matter. Have you discussed it with our father?"

When Qiao Yicheng heard Qiao Sanli mention Qiao Zuwang, he frowned immediately.

"I haven't told him yet, but I'm sure he won't object."

As for Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Yicheng was not worried at all. His father didn't care who he married as long as he didn't ask him for money.

Even if he gave Qiao Zuwang money, Qiao Zuwang probably wouldn't even ask any questions even if he married a toad.

Everyone was shocked that Qiao Yicheng was going to get married so soon, but Qi Weimin quickly reacted and laughed.

"I say one tenth, are you trying to compete with me? Do you have to get married before me?"

The two of them have been compared by relatives and friends since they were young. No matter when, he is always more dazzling than Qiao Yicheng, so Qiao Yicheng has always wanted to surpass him.

Qiao Yicheng rolled his eyes and snorted, "Marriage is a major event in life. Why would I have to fight with you? Don't be so self-indulgent."

Qi Weimin smiled and said, "That's right. Although you, Qiao Yicheng, are unreliable, you won't make a fool of yourself in such matters. Since you have already made up your mind, I can only wish you the best."

Qiao Erqiang also said: "Brother, I also wish you and sister-in-law a long and happy life together."

Qiao Sanli: "Brother, I also wish you two a happy marriage."

Chang Xingyu also followed suit and gave his blessings. In the end, only Zhou Chen remained silent.

"Zhou Chen, we all gave our blessings, why don't you say anything?"

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I plan to save it for their wedding day, when they are making trouble in the bridal chamber."

Qiao Yicheng laughed and said, "You are the one who has many evil thoughts. Don't make trouble on my wedding day. You are the one I am most worried about. Don't embarrass me when the time comes."

"Am I that kind of person? I've already told Sanli that I'll be giving you a big gift when the time comes."

"Oh, really? What kind of gift are you going to give Yicheng?" Qi Weimin asked curiously.

"One Crown, one cent, do you dare to take it?"

"I don't dare. I don't dare."

Qiao Yicheng quickly waved his hands, jokingly, a Crown costs hundreds of thousands, how could he dare to buy it.

When Ye Xiaolang heard about this great gift, his eyes lit up, but he was a little disappointed when he saw Qiao Yicheng refused it.

Several people started laughing and talking about Qiao Yicheng's upcoming marriage, especially the brother and sister Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli, who were discussing what to prepare for Qiao Yicheng when the time comes.

Halfway through the meal, Qi Weimin suddenly asked Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, you're going to study for a doctorate in the second half of the year, right?"

When Ye Xiaolang heard that Zhou Chen was going to pursue a doctorate in the second half of the year, he was immediately surprised.

She already knew that Zhou Chen was a rich second-generation, and she had just observed him and found that Zhou Chen was wearing all branded clothes and had an outstanding image and temperament. She had heard from Qiao Yicheng that Zhou Chen was still a student, but she didn't expect that he was going to study for a doctorate.

This academic qualification can be said to be amazing.

"Well, I should start my doctorate in the second half of the year, but I'm not sure whether it will be in this school."

Zhou Chen said this casually, he felt this was a good time to confess.

Qi Weimin asked in astonishment: "What do you mean? You are not studying for a doctorate at Jinling Medical University, are you going to another school?"

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Zhou Chen slowly said, "Our school has recently had exchanges with Johns Hopkins University abroad. They want me to go to the United States as an exchange student in the second half of the year to study and exchange. I am considering whether to go."

When they heard that Zhou Chen might go to the United States to study abroad, their faces changed, and Qiao Sanli looked even more panicked.

"Zhou Chen, are you going to study abroad?"

Zhou Chen held Qiao Sanli's hand and comforted her, "I haven't made a decision yet. The school and the teacher want me to stay there for two years and arrange a job for me when I come back. I can work anywhere I want at that time."

When Qiao Sanli heard that it was two years, she felt slightly relieved. She thought Zhou Chen was going abroad and would not come back.

Qiao Yicheng asked: "What do you think? Studying abroad is a good thing."

Zhou Chen asked back: "If you were asked to go, would you be willing to go?"

Ye Xiaolang immediately looked at Qiao Yicheng. She had just heard that Zhou Chen could go to study abroad and was really envious. When she heard that Zhou Chen actually hesitated, she wished she could take his place.

Qiao Yicheng thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I probably wouldn't go."

He can't bear to leave his home, his younger brothers and sisters, and now he can't bear to leave his girlfriend even more, so he doesn't want to go abroad.

Ye Xiaolang was disappointed. Her biggest wish was to leave the country, draw a line with her parents and brother, and go study abroad. She didn't expect that Qiao Yicheng didn't have this idea, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Chen: "That's it. If you don't want to go, do I want to go? Besides, foreign countries are not necessarily better than our country. I don't want to go, but the school and teachers want me to study and bring advanced foreign knowledge and technology back to China, so I am in a dilemma."

Qi Weimin smiled and said, "Your school really values ​​you enough to give you such a difficult and great task. But I think they did not choose the wrong person. With your ability, if you go abroad, you will definitely be able to bring those advanced knowledge and technologies back to China."

Chang Xingyu suddenly smiled: "I think Brother Zhou Chen doesn't want to go, he must be reluctant to leave Sanli."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Sanli's face suddenly turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Sister Xingyu."

Zhou Chen said openly: "Xingyu is right. I really can't bear to leave Sanli. What if I go abroad for two years and Sanli is cheated by someone? Wouldn't I lose a lot?"

This joke made Qiao Sanli even more embarrassed, and she punched Zhou Chen hard: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you."

Everyone laughed.

"Just kidding, but I really want to ask Yicheng for a favor."

Qiao Yicheng asked doubtfully, "What can I do for you?"

Zhou Chen: "Since you are getting married, I would like to ask you to talk to Uncle Qiao. Sanli and I have been dating for such a long time. Although we cannot get married now, let's see if we can get engaged first."

"You're going to get engaged to Sanli?"

Qiao Yicheng screamed in surprise, and the others were also greatly shocked. Qiao Sanli opened her mouth wide and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

This matter happened too suddenly, and Zhou Chen had never mentioned it to her before.

At this moment, she was frightened, yet full of happiness and shyness.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Sanli hasn't graduated yet, so it's impossible for us to get married, but we've both decided on each other, so I hope we can get engaged first. But Uncle Qiao has some opinions about me, so I want you to mediate between them."

"Is this the case?"

Qiao Yicheng fell into deep thought. In fact, he agreed with Zhou Chen's engagement with his sister Sanli. In this day and age, getting engaged first and then getting married was a normal thing, even if there were a few years in between.

But after all, she is his sister, so he still has some concerns. What's more, he is only the eldest brother, not the father, so in the end he still needs Qiao Zuwang's approval.

"As long as Sanli has no objection, I will definitely talk to my dad when the time comes."

Zhou Chen immediately smiled, "Yicheng, you can tell Uncle Qiao that I will prepare everything necessary for an engagement. I promise it will not be worse than others and will definitely satisfy him."

As long as I can marry Qiao Sanli, it doesn't matter if I have to pay a little more.

Qiao Yicheng glared at Zhou Chen and said, "Sanli doesn't care about those things. As long as you can be good to Sanli, that's enough."

He sincerely hopes that his sister can be happy, and he doesn't care that much about material things.

Qi Weimin smiled and said, "It looks like I'll have to drink a lot of wedding wine this year."

Qiao Yicheng asked, "Don't talk about us. You're going to graduate soon. What are your plans with Xingyu?"

Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu looked at each other and slowly fell in love.

"We already have an idea for our relationship, so just focus on your own marriage."

Chapter 510 Qiao Sanli's worries, Zhou Chen's method

After separating from Qiao Yicheng and the others, Zhou Chen first sent Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu back, then sent Qiao Sanli back to school, and finally returned to the dormitory himself.

However, Zhou Chen has been thinking about one question: why the skills of the god-level Yue Lao would become ineffective so quickly.

He had not used this skill of the god-level Yue Lao many times since he acquired it, but the effects were very good in those few times he had used it.

This is really the first time that Qiao Yichen has failed like this.

Logically speaking, given Qiao Yicheng's personality, the relationship between Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an shouldn't have ended so quickly even with the obstruction of his mother-in-law.
