The world of film and television begins from childhood

Qu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "Comrade Zhou Bingkun, I came to see you today to thank you. Do you still remember the old man you helped in the public bathhouse some time ago?"

"I remember, I remember, it was the uncle named Ma Shouchang, right?"

"Yes, that's him. Ma Shouchang is my old man. Old Ma didn't come today because of his disability, but he asked me to come. He must invite you to our home today. So, Comrade Zhou Bingkun, are you free tonight?"

Zhou Chen declined, "Aunt Qu, I just helped you out a little, you don't have to do this."

Qu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "For you, it's just a small favor, but for us, it's a big help. We should be grateful. Your publishing house is about to get off work, so I'll wait for you here."

"this."

"Don't be so talkative, it's settled. You go to work first, and we'll wait for you here."

Seeing Qu Xiuzhen's attitude of not allowing rejection, Zhou Chen said, "Okay, I'll go and arrange the work first, please wait for me for a while."

"Go ahead, there's no rush."

Zhou Chen didn't let Qu Xiuzhen wait too long. He came out in less than half an hour.

"Aunt Qu, how about you tell me the address and I can ride there myself?"

"No, just leave your bike here first, I'll ask the driver to bring you back later, it won't be a problem."

"Oh well."

Zhou Chen followed Qu Xiuzhen and sat in the back seat of the car. This was not his first time riding in a car in this world. He had also ridden in a sedan when he went out with the leaders of the publishing house before.

Compared with the cars of several decades later, today's cars are certainly not as comfortable and not as fast, but they are definitely much faster than bicycles.

Qu Xiuzhen had been observing Zhou Chen. He found that the young man was very calm after getting on the bus and did not look around curiously like other young people.

She has been a leading cadre for many years and still has that aura, but Zhou Chen was not affected at all and acted very naturally, which made her look at him with new eyes.

"Bingkun, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Of course no problem, you are my elder, you can call me anything."

Qu Xiuzhen said with a smile: "I heard from our old Ma that you are a very enthusiastic young man, and you seem to know a little bit about medicine. Can you tell that old Ma has a fractured bone?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's like this, I personally like medicine, I have read some medical books, and learned a little by myself, but it's not up to par."

"Haha, I think it's more than just a little bit. There are quite a few young men in our factory who are scared when they see me. You are much better than them."

"They are afraid of you because you are their leader. I am different from them."

Qu Xiuzhen smiled happily and said, "What you said makes some sense. You are such a smart guy."

In her eyes, Zhou Chen is younger than her son, but has a good demeanor. He is much better than the young people in their soy sauce factory.

The car drove steadily on the road. After about ten minutes, it came to a group of buildings that looked somewhat historical and stopped in front of a house that looked very high-end in this era.

The driver stopped the car steadily, and Qu Xiuzhen said to Zhou Chen, "We're here, get off."

Zhou Chen got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him with envy in his eyes. The house here was much better than the one he rented.

However, he also knew that he could not rent a house here even if he wanted to, as this was a place only cadres and leaders could live in temporarily.

Before this, those who lived here were all rich and powerful people. After they left, the houses here were temporarily requisitioned, and people who were not of sufficient rank were not qualified to live here at all.

Qu Xiuzhen said a few words to the driver, then walked to Zhou Chen, patted him lightly, and said, "Come on, follow me in."

Following Qu Xiuzhen into the house and changing his shoes, Zhou Chen looked at the things in the house.

Although the decoration and furniture here seemed ordinary to him, they were really acceptable in this era.

The decoration of this house is quite exquisite. The original person who lived here must have been an intellectual who was cultured and knew how to enjoy life.

After just taking a few glances in the living room, Qu Xiuzhen came over, and next to her was a familiar old man.

"Zhou Bingkun."

The old man was Ma Shouchang. He was wearing a military green jacket and leaning on a cane. He pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted with joy on his face.

Zhou Chen also called out politely: "Commander Ma, we meet again."

Ma Shouchang laughed and said, "Why call me Chief? You are my savior. If you like, just call me Uncle Ma."

"Then I'll listen to you, Uncle Ma."

"Haha, that's right."

Qu Xiuzhen helped Ma Shouchang walk to Zhou Chen and introduced him, "Bingkun, this is my old man, Ma Shouchang, the vice president of the Military Academy."

Ma Shouchang waved his hand and said, "That was in the past. It's not the same now. Stand aside, haha."

Qu Xiuzhen muttered, "It's time to return to the team."

Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen did not originally live here and only moved here recently. The fact that they were able to move here means that they will be employed again soon.

Ma Shouchang pulled Zhou Chen and said enthusiastically, "Zhou Bingkun, I didn't have the time to thank you properly for what happened last time. After asking someone, I found out that you worked in a publishing house and were a writer. Then I asked Lao Qu to look for you. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"No, no interruption. It's my honor to be here and see you."

"Come, sit down and talk."

Ma Shouchang asked Zhou Chen to sit down and said happily: "I like to get along with young guys like you. This makes me look much younger. Bingkun, since you are here, then accompany me for a good meal. Don't refuse, otherwise I will be unhappy."

Zhou Chen smiled and replied, "Then I will respectfully obey your command, Uncle Ma."

Qu Xiuzhen said, "We have to wait for dinner. Old Ma, you chat with Bingkun first. I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll have a good chat with Bingkun."

After Qu Xiuzhen left, Ma Shouchang asked Zhou Chen, "I heard that you are an editor in a publishing house, and you are doing quite well. You are so capable at such a young age, much better than we were back then."

"How can I compare with you? You are a national hero, and I am just a commoner."

"What kind of hero am I? Besides, what's wrong with the common people? The common people are the foundation of our country."

Ma Shouchang was a man who had lived through the war years. Zhou Chen benefited a lot from chatting with him. Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for more than ten minutes.

"Bingkun, can you play chess?"

"What kind of chess does Uncle Ma want to play?"

"How about Gobang?"

"sure."

Ma Shouchang took out the chess pieces and started playing Gobang with Zhou Chen.

Before getting the system, Zhou Chen's chess level was only amateurish. But after so many worlds, although he did not specifically learn to play chess, he would play chess to kill time when he had nothing to do.

So now his chess playing level is definitely good among amateur players, whether it is chess, Go, not to mention the simpler Gobang.

Not long after they started playing, Zhou Chen realized that Ma Shouchang's Gobang level was very average, so he put away most of his skills and played slowly with Ma Shouchang.

After two bets, one loss and one win, Ma Shouchang was given enough face and he also laughed out loud.

"Bingkun, your Gobang level is much better than Lao Qu's. It's on par with mine. It's not easy, not easy."

What else could Zhou Chen say but to smile and compliment.

Ma Shouchang suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Oh, something's wrong with my stomach. Bingkun, you sit down first. I'm going to the toilet."

After saying this, he hurried away, leaning on his crutches.

Zhou Chen burst out laughing. This old man Ma was absolutely a man of true character. Even when facing a junior like him, he did not hide anything at all.

He was the only one left in the room. He was bored sitting there, so he walked around the room. When he walked to a certain corner in the living room, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There was actually a piano there. Zhou Chen walked over and opened the lid. It was a very old piano and looked quite old.

When he encountered this very old piano, his hands started to itch unconsciously.

There was no one around, so Zhou Chen walked to the piano and sat down, gently stroking the keys, then pressed them lightly with both hands.

A clear and pleasant voice sounded, a familiar voice he hadn't heard for several years.

This time he was transmigrated through souls, and although his physical fitness had not changed, the flexibility of his hands was definitely not as slender as his own strengthened hands. However, his piano playing would not be affected too much.

His ten nimble fingers moved quickly on the keys. As he moved, beautiful piano sounds suddenly rang out in the living room.

My computer had a problem today. It kept restarting. It would restart with a blue screen when I opened a software. It's a newly assembled host, and the problem occurred after just a few days. I'm so annoyed. Typing on the phone is too tiring and inefficient. That's all I can do. I'll ask someone to take a look at the problem with the host tomorrow.

Chapter 561: The Shameless Cao Debao

As Qu Xiuzhen led the two young men into the house, she heard the sudden sound of a piano, which made her stunned.

"This is the sound of a piano. Who is playing the piano?"

Although she can't play the piano, she can still tell that it is the sound of a piano.

One of the young men following Qu Xiuzhen also asked in surprise: "Qu Shuji, is there anyone in your family who plays the piano?"

There were only Lao Ma, Zhou Chen and the nanny at home, so Qu Xiuzhen guessed instantly that it must be Zhou Chen who was playing the piano.

"Change your slippers first."

After saying that, Qu Xiuzhen went straight to the piano in the living room, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Chen sitting in front of the piano, talking about it attentively.

Qu Xiuzhen was very surprised. Before she went to find Zhou Chen, she had already investigated Zhou Chen's information and knew that Zhou Chen was born in a working-class family.

It is shocking that a child born in a working-class family can not only work as an editor in a publishing house, but also play such beautiful piano music.

Ma Shouchang also came out of the toilet and walked to Qu Xiuzhen's side. Just as he was about to speak, Qu Xiuzhen raised her hand to stop him.

Ma Shouchang was unable to hold back a word and felt very uncomfortable. At this time, the two young men who had just come with Qu Xiuzhen also came over and stood side by side with Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang, listening to the piano.

After a few minutes, Zhou Chen's hands slowed down, and the sound of the piano gradually became calmer until it stopped.

It has been a long time since he last played the piano, and it was his first time playing this relatively old type of piano, so Zhou Chen felt that the song he just played was not perfect and did not show his true level.

"Clap clap..."

Crisp applause rang out, followed by several more rounds of applause. Zhou Chen turned around and found Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang standing behind him. In addition to them, there were two young men he didn't know.

"Aunt Qu, Uncle Ma, I'm sorry, I saw the piano and couldn't control myself. I disturbed you."

It was a bad habit to move someone else's piano without the owner's consent, so Zhou Chen quickly apologized.

Ma Shouchang laughed and said, "It's okay, you play well, you play well, I have never heard such beautiful piano music, Bingkun, you are amazing."

Qu Xiuzhen also smiled and said, "This piano belonged to the original owner of this house. We have never touched it since we moved in. The main reason is that we are all rough people and don't know how to play this thing. But Bing Kun, I didn't realize that you can actually play the piano."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I just play the guitar randomly, it's just my hobby. I don't have the conditions, so I am excited to see the prey."

Ma Shouchang said: "Bingkun, what song did you just play? It sounds nice, but a little soft. Are you good at playing exciting war-themed songs?"

“I know a few.”

"That's a great feeling. How about you play another song for me?"

Qu Xiuzhen interrupted, "What do you mean by play another song? Everyone is here, it's time to eat. If you want to listen to the piano, find another opportunity later."

"Yes, yes, look at my head. It's time to eat. It's time to eat."

Ma Shouchang slapped his head and remembered today's topic: "Bingkun, let's go to the table and prepare to eat."

Zhou Chen followed Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen to the restaurant, and the five of them sat down at the dining table.

Zhou Chen looked at the two strange young men carefully. He didn't know either of them and didn't know where they came from, but the fact that they could eat here must have something to do with Ma Shouchang or Qu Xiuzhen.

While he was still guessing, Qu Xiuzhen had already taken the initiative to introduce her to him.

"Bingkun, I think you will feel a little uncomfortable having dinner with the two of us alone, so I found two people of your age for you. They work in the soy sauce factory just like me, and they work in the slag removal workshop, which is the hardest and most tiring part of the factory. They are both very nice guys, and you should get to know them."

"This is Lü Chuan, and that is Cao Debao."

"Lü Chuan, Debao, this is Zhou Bingkun, our old man's savior. He is now an editor at Jiangliao Publishing House. He is a very educated and capable young man."

Upon hearing that these two people were actually Lu Chuan and Cao Debao, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say "WTF" in his mind.

He originally thought that if he had not followed the plot and gone to work at the soy sauce factory, he would not have had the chance to meet Cao Debao and Lu Chuan.

But who would have thought that fate was so wonderful that he still met these two people, still in Ma Shouchang's house, sitting at the same table.

However, even though he met Cao Debao and Lu Chuan, Zhou Chen never thought of bringing up any "Six Little Gentlemen". It would be too awkward.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Cao Debao and Lu Chuan also greeted Zhou Chen politely. The elegance of Zhou Chen's piano playing just now had been deeply imprinted in their minds. After hearing Qu Xiuzhen's introduction, they couldn't help but regard Zhou Chen as a cultured and knowledgeable person.
