The world of film and television begins from childhood

"That's impossible. The timber mill is a state-owned factory after all. Even if it's not profitable, the government will definitely find a way to change it later. This is a formal establishment."

After all, Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing were limited by the era of making money and had no idea of ​​the future, so although they complained, they never thought about leaving.

"There will be a day when formal employment will become cheap. We can't see anything in Jichun yet, but Yanjing has already started to allow private businesses. I think this will be the mainstream in the future. If you just work in a good factory, it's okay, but for a backward enterprise like a timber factory, with such a low salary per month, can you really support your family?"

Zhou Chen was really thinking about these two childhood friends, because he knew that the sawmill would soon be closed down. If they voluntarily resigned at this time, they could get a good compensation. But if they waited until the day of bankruptcy, they would lose everything.

He knew that these two good friends stayed until the end of the plot, so that in the end both of their families had extremely difficult lives. Sun Ganchao was even more hardworking. He got cancer when he was about 40 years old. In order not to drag down his family, he had to commit suicide by lying on the railway tracks.

Given their friendship over the years, he certainly didn't want these two childhood friends to 'repeat the same mistakes'.

But his idea was destined to be unnecessary. Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing still had confidence in the sawmill and rejected Zhou Chen's proposal.

"Okay, you decide for yourselves. If the lumber mill ever closes down, remember to look for me. As brothers, I will definitely help you."

Sun Ganchao smiled and said, "Of course, you are the most promising one among all my friends. When I can't make it anymore, I will definitely look for you. You have to find a good job for me."

Xiao Guoqing also nodded in agreement.

Zhou Chen naturally agreed with a pat on his chest.

In the next few days, neither Zhou Bingyi nor Hao Dongmei came again, and everyone in the Zhou family tacitly agreed not to mention them.

It was not until the eighth day of the first lunar month that Zhou Zhigang was about to set off for the mountain city.

On the train station platform, Zhou Chen, Zhou Rong, Li Suhua and Feng Huacheng saw Zhou Zhigang off together.

Zhou Zhigang looked around with great interest, but unfortunately, he did not see the person he wanted to see.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Zhigang sighed, and then said to Li Suhua: "Mother, Bingyi probably won't come. When you get to Yanjing, you have to enlighten him well. We are all family. Tell him not to hate Kun'er so much."

Li Suhua said with red eyes: "I understand. Don't worry about Bingyi. But you, after you go to Shancheng, you must take good care of yourself. You are not the same as before. Don't work so hard. Take care of your health. When you retire, you will have to take care of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren with me."

Zhou Zhigang laughed: "I have been working there for more than ten years. Don't worry about me. I know my own body best."

He is a workaholic and often forgets other things when he is working. However, he thinks this is a good thing. He can't stand it if he has to be idle every day.

"Bingkun, Rong'er."

Zhou Zhigang looked at his children again and said slowly, "You are all grown up now. Don't be like before. Take good care of your mother and the children. If you let your mother suffer any grievances, I will punish you."

Zhou Rong was already crying and hugged Zhou Zhigang tightly: "Dad."

Zhou Zhigang also patted her with red eyes and said softly: "You are so grown up, but you are still like a child."

"Wow, I will always be a child in front of you." Zhou Rong choked.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously at Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Mom."

"That's good, that's good."

Zhou Zhigang picked up the bag on the ground, looked at a few people reluctantly, turned around and left, and got on the train.

Only after the train carrying Zhou Zhigang had gone far away did Zhou Chen and the other three prepare to leave the train station.

But before they walked out of the train station, they saw a familiar figure running towards them. It was Zhou Bingyi.

As soon as she saw Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong couldn't help but complain: "Brother, why did you come just now? Dad has already left."

When Zhou Bingyi heard that Zhou Zhigang had left, his face suddenly became disappointed.

"Are you leaving? Why don't you wait for me..."

Seeing his distraught look, Zhou Chen snorted coldly. Zhou Bingyi knew exactly when Zhou Zhigang would leave today.

But he clearly knew the time, yet he was still a step late, which meant that he did not put this matter first at all. It goes without saying that he was definitely trying to improve his image as a good son-in-law in the Hao family.

Zhou Bingyi's behavior in the past few days really made him feel disgusted. He didn't even care about his biological parents and just stayed at the home of his parents-in-law who were high-ranking officials. No one knew what Zhou Bingyi was thinking.

Zhou Chen left Zhou Bingyi without saying a word. Zhou Rong also complained a few words and then pulled Feng Huacheng away.

Only Li Suhua stayed behind, staring at her eldest son in a daze.

"mom."

Zhou Bingyi felt uneasy when his mother looked at him, "I'm sorry, Mom, I really didn't mean it..."

"It's okay, Bingyi. Mom doesn't blame you, and your dad doesn't blame you either. He just kept talking about you before he left."

Zhou Bingyi's eyes were red: "Dad, I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry too..."

Even though she was somewhat dissatisfied with her eldest son's behavior, when she saw how sad he was, the dissatisfaction in Li Suhua's heart quickly disappeared.

"Bingyi, don't be sad. Just remember that no matter what you do, your father and I will support you. When you get to Yanjing, write to your father and say good things about him. You are always his most valued child."

As Zhou Zhigang's bedmate, Li Suhua knew him best. This time when he left, Zhou Zhigang felt relieved about Zhou Chen and Zhou Rong, but he was very worried about Zhou Bingyi.

Because of what Zhou Chen did, Zhou Zhigang was worried that Zhou Bingyi would be wronged in the Hao family. When he thought of his son working like a slave for someone else's family, how could he not feel uncomfortable as a father?

After returning home, Zhou Chen and his friends started packing because they all had to leave tomorrow and catch the afternoon train.

This time I’m going to Yanjing, and I don’t know when I can come back, so I must tidy up my house.

Zhou Chen went to Shao Jingwen's house again in the afternoon, gave him a key to his house, and asked Shao Jingwen to help look after the house.

Immediately afterwards, he went to Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen again. This time, he was severely taught a lesson by the two elders.

It turned out that they already knew. Senior official Hao was so angry with Zhou Chen that he became ill. The two were worried and angry, thinking that Zhou Chen was too inconsiderate and impulsive in his actions.

Faced with the scolding from the two elders, Zhou Chen could only bow his head and admit his mistakes. He knew that they were doing it for his own good and were worried about him.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chen and his family boarded the train to Yanjing on the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month.

This time Zhou Bingyi did not go with them, but Cai Xiaoguang followed them with a flattering look.

Zhou Chen naturally did not save money on train tickets, as he bought sleeper berths. This time he only bought so many berths with the help of others.

When Zhou Chen and his companions arrived in Yanjing, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Fortunately, before Zhou Chen came, he had already called Wan Shibing and asked him to arrange two cars to pick them up, which saved him a lot of trouble.

That night, after Zhou Chen sent his family home, he went out with Wan Shibing, saying that he had called some people to get together and introduce Zhou Chen to some new friends.

Zhou Chen knew that the friends Wan Shibing was talking about were probably the same as him, the children of officials, so he was not opposed to it. He would work in Yanjing in the future, and maybe these people would be able to help him.

As for whether he would be discriminated against by these second-generations, there was no need to worry about it. With his experience and knowledge, he had plenty of ways to deal with not only these second-generations, but even their parents.

Although he had never been in the official career, his connections included many high-ranking officials. He had even met some big shots in the country.

With a broader vision and more knowledge, one's experience will naturally be richer and one will be more confident. It can definitely be said that one remains calm even when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 609 Two years later, fame rises, Guangming goes to Hong Kong

Just as Zhou Chen thought, Wan Shibing's friends were all second-generation people, and they were not young, all in their twenties or thirties.

People of this age basically have their own jobs. There are seven of them in total. Except for one who just returned to Yanjing after joining the team and was admitted to university last year, the rest of them have jobs.

And these are not ordinary jobs. Basically, they all work in government agencies. The highest-ranking one is a section-level cadre who works in the tax bureau. It can be said that he has considerable power.

The other few people also have different ranks, ranging from deputy director, section chief to deputy section chief.

Perhaps many people in later generations have a bad impression of the second generation, but in fact, most of the children of officials have abilities and vision that surpass ordinary people.

As long as the family provides a good education, the chances of success are much higher than those of children from poor families.

After all, the different living environments and experiences since childhood destined them to be ahead of most people.

Zhou Chen had come into contact with many such second-generation officials before. Based on his experience, the vast majority of second-generation officials are relatively low-key. Those who rely on their family background and are very high-profile will not last long.

Wan Shibing took Zhou Chen to have dinner with these people. There was no contempt or disdain. Instead, they were very enthusiastic. Especially after Zhou Chen demonstrated his vision and ability, everyone became even more enthusiastic towards him.

Outstanding people will be valued wherever they go. These people have been hanging around in the compound since childhood. They may have a dandy temperament, but they still have good eyesight.

This meal was eaten in a secret private kitchen. Although it was private, the place was not small. To Zhou Chen, it felt a bit like a private club.

Zhou Chen knew why Wan Shibing brought him here, it was simply to help him gain some connections.

It should be that Wan Shibing saw that he was not the kind of person who was content with being ordinary, so he introduced so many friends to him.

One more friend means one more way out.

This sentence may not apply to everyone, but as long as there are mutual benefits, it is still convincing.

Life in Yanjing is actually not much different from that in Jichun City. The family still revolves around the children, and other than that, Zhou Chen goes to school.

However, there are more things to prepare this year. After this summer, Zhou Rui and Feng Yue will both go to elementary school when they reach age.

Although there is no worry about going to school now, because only Zhou Chen's family has moved its household registration to Yanjing, it is not easy for the child to go to a good primary school.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were very worried about this matter and discussed it many times during the New Year.

Zhou Chen was not in a hurry at all. He chose to rent the current house not just for the convenience of schooling, but also for more plans.

Not far from their current residential area, there is a newly opened residential area, which will be completed in the first half of this year.

There is still a big difference between the real estate now and later. Most houses are bought and sold after they are built.

Zhou Chen had already set his sights on a house in that community. According to his estimate, it would cost several thousand yuan to buy a three-bedroom apartment.

Even in the capital city of Yanjing, the houses nowadays cannot be considered real commercial housing in the strict sense. They are basically built by the state and most of them are purchased by factory employees. Only a few houses are put on the market for sale.

Zhou Chen didn’t know much about real estate in this era, especially in Yanjing. He learned a lot of information from Wan Shibing.

Although it is difficult to buy a house, Zhou Chen already has a way, so it is no problem for him to buy one.

The reason why I chose the house here is because there is a public primary school nearby, which is considered quite good in Yanjing.

As long as you buy a house and find someone to help you, you can transfer your household registration. With a Yanjing household registration, it will naturally be much easier to go to school.

In the following time, apart from studying, Zhou Chen was busy buying a house, transferring his household registration and arranging schooling for his children.

In a blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.

Zhou Chen did not complete four years in medical school. Instead, he went to work at the First Hospital after the third year.

Although he had only been working there for a year, Zhou Chen had quickly established a reputation in the hospital with his excellent medical skills.

In the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhou Chen, wearing a white coat, pushed open the door of the operating room and was about to pull down his mask and let out a long breath.

"Zhou Chen, you're out. How is my dad?"

Zhang Shiyuan ran to Zhou Chen with a nervous look on his face and asked anxiously.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhang Shiyuan in front of him. This was one of the friends introduced to him by Wan Shibing. He was also the one with the highest rank and the oldest age at that time.

More than two years have passed, and Zhang Shiyuan has risen from a division-level cadre to a deputy-department-level cadre. Being in his thirties and working in a powerful department, Zhang Shiyuan is destined to have a bright future.

Zhang Shiyuan's father is a retired leader. He got cancer and saw many doctors, but because he was old and a former leader, even those experts did not recommend surgery for him, or they were afraid to perform surgery on him easily and recommended conservative treatment.

But Zhang Shiyuan couldn't bear to see his father suffer, so he asked people to find many experts. Finally, he had no other choice but to listen to Wan Shibing's advice and find Zhou Chen who worked in the oncology department.

This time, Zhou Chen was not assigned to the pediatrics department or other departments, but chose the oncology department.

During the more than one year in the hospital, I basically did not perform many operations in the first six months. However, after I demonstrated my superb medical skills, I was noticed by the director of the oncology department and started to participate in operations. In less than a year, I performed dozens of operations.

What is shocking is that he performed dozens of operations without any failure. It is precisely because of this that he has become a hot commodity in the oncology department.

Doctors who can perform such major surgeries are already extremely scarce these days, not to mention Zhou Chen's amazing surgical success rate, which is as rare as a panda.

It was only after Zhang Shiyuan knew about Zhou Chen’s battle record that he felt comfortable handing his father over to Zhou Chen, which led to the scene today.

"Brother Yuan, the operation went well. Uncle will have to wait for a while before coming out. We can discuss the follow-up matters in my office later. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

The operation lasted several hours and was extremely intense. Even for Zhou Chen, it consumed a lot of energy, and he also needed to address his physiological needs.

"Thank you, thank you, Zhou Chen..."

When Zhang Shiyuan heard that the operation was successful, his eyes turned red with excitement.

Although his old man is retired, as long as he is alive, he is a signboard and can help their family. Therefore, Zhou Chen saved his father's life, which is a great favor to their family.

This is also the biggest reason why a highly skilled doctor is respected by others.

After all, no matter who you are, you will inevitably suffer from illness. If you can have a good doctor to help you, it would definitely be a happy thing.

Although Zhang Shiyuan and others knew Zhou Chen and had eaten many meals together, they still did not put Zhou Chen on the same level as them.

But this time, after seeing Zhou Chen's medical skills and knowing that he could even perform such a major operation with precision, his respect for him immediately increased by several levels.

In order to thank Zhou Chen, Zhang Shiyuan specially called other people together and personally hosted the party to express his gratitude to Zhou Chen.

As a result, Zhou Chen’s relationship with this group of second-generation people became better. No, they can no longer be called second-generation people, because these people now have their own positions and have achieved their own success.

On this day, when Zhou Chen finished the operation, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and he rode his motorcycle home.

Although it was already 82, it was not easy to buy a car, and Zhou Chen did not want to be too high-profile, so he asked someone to buy him a new motorcycle. It was not as good as a car, but much more convenient than a bicycle.
