The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I really admire you. You personally sent your beloved girl to the arms of another man, and after so many years, you still miss her. You can be considered a love-struck person."

"Bingkun, how can you say that about me? I heard that you also applied to a university in Yanjing?"

"Yes, Yenching Medical College, clinical medicine."

"Congratulations! Your eldest brother and Zhou Rong are both from Peking University. Now the three of you will be reunited in the capital."

"Not bad, I heard you applied to a university in Yanjing, and you're going to study literature and art, is it Beijing Film Academy or something?"

"Yenching Broadcasting Institute."

Speaking of this, Cai Xiaoguang's expression was obviously different, and Zhou Chen instantly thought of a possibility.

I remember that in the original plot, Cai Xiaoguang seemed to have encountered trouble when he went to college. The director of the tractor factory was unwilling to let him leave. In the end, he found Zhou Rong and asked for the face of senior official Hao, and only then was he able to successfully leave the tractor factory and go to college.

With only a few days left before school starts, Cai Xiaoguang came to me at this time, probably because of this matter.

After all, no matter how much he likes Zhou Rong, compared with his lifelong event of going to college, going to college is definitely more important now.

"Cai Xiaoguang, are you in trouble?"

Cai Xiaoguang didn't expect that Zhou Chen could see his embarrassment at a glance. Thinking that he had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, he didn't hide it anymore.

"Bingkun, to be honest, I did run into some trouble. I was admitted to the Broadcasting Institute and received the admission letter, but our factory leaders are unwilling to let me go to college. No matter what I say, it's useless. I went to Zhou Rong to ask her to intercede with your eldest brother. It's just a matter of a word from your eldest brother's father-in-law."

It turned out to be this matter. After Zhou Chen heard it, he already had an idea in his mind.

He knew the reason for this matter without asking.

Cai Xiaoguang has worked in the tractor factory for many years. At the beginning, because his father was in a high position, he took advantage of the situation and became an office director in the tractor factory.

But the year before last, something happened to his father, and without his backing, his life immediately became difficult.

Not only was he demoted from his position as office director, but he was eventually targeted by his superiors and became a handyman in the tractor factory workshop.

The gap from being a leading cadre to becoming a handyman is huge.

However, Cai Xiaoguang is also a man of integrity. Although life was very difficult, he still gritted his teeth and held on, and did not ask for help from others.

He probably had no other choice but to come to Zhou Rong this time, otherwise, given his personality, he would not have asked for this.

Zhou Chen said: "Cai Xiaoguang, I can tell you for sure that there is probably no hope of finding my eldest brother's father-in-law."

"Why? Your eldest brother's father-in-law is now almost the top leader. As long as he speaks, even the secretary of our factory has to listen. How can there be no hope?"

"I'm not saying that his words are useless, but you don't understand my eldest brother and father-in-law's personalities. You know, they've been beaten down before, and they're very sensitive now. You think it's just a matter of one word, but they may not think so. We've known each other for so many years, and I can't possibly deceive you on this matter, right?"

When Cai Xiaoguang heard this, he immediately panicked: "No way, Brother Bingyi is his son-in-law, so his words are useless?"

Zhou Chen sighed, "Not every official will help. You come from a cadre family, I think you should understand this."

Cai Xiaoguang's face turned ugly. He had no other choice but to ask Zhou Rong for help. However, Zhou Chen's words were like a blow to the head, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"If even Senior Official Hao is unwilling to help, who else can I turn to?"

Cai Xiaoguang had a depressed expression, but when he looked at Zhou Chen in front of him, he suddenly had an idea.

"Bingkun, I remember that you have a good relationship with Chief Ma of the Provincial Compound. Can you please help me and ask Chief Ma to speak for me?"

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and said directly: "You are in trouble, I must help you, so wait for me for two days and I will help you think about it."

When Cai Xiaoguang heard that Zhou Chen was willing to help, he was overjoyed and grabbed Zhou Chen's hands.

"Bingkun, thank you, thank you so much. As long as you can help me with this, I will do anything for you in the future."

Now that his father has fallen, going to college is his only option to succeed. Otherwise, he will have to work as a handyman in a tractor factory for the rest of his life.

"Don't say that. You helped me a lot back then."

Although two years have passed, Zhou Chen has not forgotten that it was because of Cai Xiaoguang's help that he was released from the prison so quickly. He will always remember this favor.

The tractor factory is also one of the best units in Jichun City, and the factory directors and cadres inside all have administrative levels. Don’t think that in the plot, the senior official Hao solved the problem with just one sentence, but that’s because he has a high status. Try to change it to an ordinary person.

Cai Xiaoguang was suppressed from being an office director to being a handyman. There must be something going on here. Zhou Chen knew it clearly and knew what to do.

With Zhou Chen's guarantee, Cai Xiaoguang finally put his mind at ease. He felt that as long as Zhou Chen found Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, there would be no problem with this matter.

So after saying a few more words of thanks, he said goodbye to Zhou Chen and left in a hurry.

Zhou Chen knew that he was going to find Zhou Rong. This guy was an old bootlicker. His spirit made him speechless.

After agreeing to Cai Xiaoguang's request, Zhou Chen did not delay. After thinking about it, he decided to go find Qu Xiuzhen. Anyway, he owed a lot of people for favors, so it didn't matter if he had one more person to help him. Besides, this was not for personal gain. He believed that with Qu Xiuzhen's temper, she would definitely help.

As he expected, after he told Qu Xiuzhen about this, Qu Xiuzhen immediately agreed.

Qu Xiuzhen was a kind-hearted person. When she heard that the tractor factory was blocking Cai Xiaoguang from going to college, she angrily slammed the table.

In her opinion, college students are the future of the motherland, and no one can stop a college student from pursuing studies.

Zhou Chen met Shui Ziliu in a private room of a state-owned restaurant.

"Water flows naturally. I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you. You should already know that I have been admitted to university and will be going to the capital Yanjing to attend university in a few days."

Shui Ziliu nodded. After several years of development, he had made a lot of money. As before, he paid great attention to his clothes and dressed himself very decently.

"I know you are going to Yanjing to attend university. As for the business, don't worry. With me here, there will be absolutely no problem."

Zhou Chen looked at Shui Ziliu carefully and found that he was indeed sincere, without a trace of falsehood.

After working together for a few years, he had to admit that although Shui Ziliu came from a gangster background, he was relatively honest and had been very obedient over the years. He did not have any dirty thoughts just because he made money.

If it were someone else, and Zhou Chen did nothing every year but wanted half of the profits, there would definitely be problems between the two parties.

But Shui Ziliu did not do that. He always gave the money to Zhou Chen on time and his attitude was very good. This was also the reason why Zhou Chen could continue to cooperate with him.

Zhou Chen did not directly state his purpose, but asked: "How is Luo Shibin doing recently?"

Shui Ziliu's face suddenly showed sadness: "It's still the same. It's almost five years. I guess he won't wake up. But this is okay. At least he's still alive."

Zhou Chen asked: "You keep supporting him like this, and spend half of your earnings on him, don't you have any regrets at all?"

Shui Ziliu laughed at himself, "I won't lie to you. I once thought about giving up. At that time, I felt that it was too depressing for Binzi to lie there. But then I thought about it again. I don't plan to get married in this life. It's too meaningless to be alone for the rest of my life. Although Binzi can't move or talk now, at least he's still alive. It makes me feel like I still have a brother."

"People need to have a goal in life, so I think the current situation is good enough."

Zhou Chen remained silent after hearing this. This water flowing freely really made him look at it in a new light.

They are brothers he used to hang out with, but he has been able to support them day after day for five years. This is not as simple as spending money. If it were an ordinary person, he would most likely not be able to hold on for long.

"I came to you to give you a choice. I'm going to Yanjing soon, and I guess I can't help you with the business here. If you want to make more money, you can consider going to Yanjing with me. I guarantee that you will make more than you do now."

"Going to Yanjing?"

Shui Ziliu was obviously surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Chen to say such words to him.

"Yes, go to Yanjing. Although Jichun is not small, it is far behind Yanjing. You don't have to worry about how to make money. Since I dare to let you go with me, I must have full confidence. Moreover, the medical conditions there are better. Maybe Luo Shibin can still have hope."

There was an obvious look of intention on Shui Ziliu's face, but he lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Forget it, I won't go to Yanjing. I've taken Binzi to many hospitals, and the results are all the same. If I go to Yanjing, I'll have to start all over again. I'm fine now, and I don't want to go through all that. I'd better stay here."

Hearing Shui Ziliu's choice, Zhou Chen sighed lightly. Shui Ziliu is a good helper. With him around, many things that are inconvenient to do can be handed over to him.

However, Shui Ziliu was unwilling to go, and he couldn't force him, so he just nodded.

"Okay, I respect your opinion. Since you are not going to Yanjing, I can't help you much in the future. So you don't need to give me the share you gave me before."

It is already 78, and he is going to the capital, Yanjing, so he no longer cares about the business here.

He didn't want it, but Shui Ziliu was anxious: "How can this be possible? My business has been able to flourish entirely because of your help. Just go to Yanjing, and I will not take a cent less than what I should give you."

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "I'm not testing you. I'm sincere. I can't help you, so how can I take the money?"

"But this..."

"That's all. But you don't have to worry. Although I'm not here, as long as you follow the method I taught you before and do a little more work, there will be no problem."

After hearing what Zhou Chen said, Shui Ziliu felt relieved. He was willing to share the money with Zhou Chen because with Zhou Chen as his backer, he didn't have to worry too much. If anything happened, he could also discuss it with Zhou Chen.

He also knew that Zhou Chen's elder brother, Zhou Bingyi, was the son-in-law of a high-ranking official. With this status, he was willing to share the profits even if Zhou Chen did nothing.

But now Zhou Chen’s attitude was very firm, so he could only agree.

After having a meal with Shui Ziliu and explaining everything to him, Zhou Chen separated from him.

Reform and opening up is about to come, and there are so many ways to make money, so Zhou Chen doesn’t have to worry about his future life at all.

I learned from Zhou Bingyi that Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng had already left. They left on the seventh day of the first lunar month and were planning to return to your province first and then go directly to Yanjing.

When they left, they did not take Feng Yue with them, but entrusted Feng Yue to Li Suhua.

Zhou Chen was not at all surprised at Zhou Rong's decision. This woman is like this, selfish to the extreme. She would rather let her daughter become a left-behind child than delay her own studies and life. Feng Yue, as her daughter, is really unlucky.

This is also why Zhou Chen found the original plot incredible. With such a mother, Feng Yue could actually forgive her in the end? This is bullshit.

Only TV dramas dare to portray it this way. In real life, ninety-nine out of a hundred people probably would not forgive it.

The day after Zhou Rong left, which was the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi also left by train.

Zhou Chen didn't go to see him off either, mainly because he didn't want to meet Zhou Zhigang.

After Zhou Zhigang left, Zhou Chen immediately took Zheng Juan to Guangzipian.

As soon as Li Suhua saw Zhou Chen appear, she didn't give him a good look at all, but started to mock and ridicule him.

"You still remember to come. When your sister and your father left, I didn't see you show up. As soon as they left, you came."

But when Feng Yue saw Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan, she happily rushed over and said, "Uncle, uncle, give me a hug."

Zhou Chen laughed and picked up Feng Yue: "Yueyue, do you miss your uncle?"

"I really want to, Uncle, are you here to take me home?"

"Yes, then are you willing to go home with your uncle?"

"Of course, uncle, why didn't you come and take me earlier, uncle, I have completed your task, they always say bad things about you."

Zhou Chen smiled and asked, "What did they say?"

Feng Yue tilted her head and thought for a while before she said, "Too many, I didn't remember them all. She always said that my uncle was an ungrateful person and an unfilial son..."

Zhou Chen chatted happily with Feng Yue for a while, then put her down and let her play with Zhou Rui and Zhou Cong.

Seeing the old lady sitting on the kang with an unhappy face, Zhou Chen walked over with a smile and put his arms around the old lady's shoulders. The old lady struggled a few times but failed to break free.

"What?"

"Mom, I miss you so much."

"Humph."

"Don't be like this, Mom. Don't you know who I am? Besides, you can't blame me for everything that happened that day. I still feel wronged."

Li Suhua looked over and scolded, "You still feel wronged? I feel more wronged than you. One is your father, one is your sister, and the other is you. They are all the most important people to me. I watched you quarreling, but I couldn't persuade you. Do you know how I feel, huh?"

As she was scolding, the old lady started crying, crying out of grievance.

Zhou Chen hugged her and coaxed her, "Mom, I'm sorry, I know it's my fault, I'm here to apologize to you, right?"

"Why do I want you to apologize to me? What I want is for you to apologize to your father and your sister. What I want is for you to reconcile and live happily together as a family."

"I understand, Mom. Please give me some time. I will do as you say and get along well with them in the future."

After comforting the old lady for a long time, she finally wiped away her tears and was no longer angry.

"Mom, come back with me first."

"Your dad said that he won't let me go to your place."

"Mom, what you said is right. I am your son. It is only natural for you to live in my house. Besides, you are old. I can't sleep at night without me."

"I see you've been sleeping pretty well these days."

"Then you are wronging me. Ask Zheng Juan how I slept these days. I slept very poorly because I was thinking about you."

"Don't be so sarcastic. I don't believe you."

"Mom, pack up and come with me. I know you can live here, but don't you still have Yueyue? Can you bear to let her live here forever?"

"........."

Under Zhou Chen's persuasion, Li Suhua finally agreed. In fact, before Zhou Zhigang left, he had a heart-to-heart talk with her and told her that after he left, she would go and live with her youngest son.

Li Suhua knew that Zhou Zhigang had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he said harsh words, he was actually still worried about her and Yueyue and concerned about their safety, so he agreed to let them live in his youngest son's house.

So Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan helped Li Suhua to tidy up and clean the room. After a busy day, the family returned to the big house in the afternoon.
