Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 52, Watching Movies, Month-end Settlement (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
The Binhai Electronic Information City consists of a commercial building and a commercial street.

This street is lined with two-story shops selling all kinds of electronic products. There are also many mobile stalls selling all kinds of audio and video discs, as well as game discs.

Chen Yan led Jiang Zhe familiarly and started to pick and choose among the stalls.

"Do you like watching blockbusters or horror movies? I don't like watching art films." Chen Yan asked Jiang Zhe while choosing.

Jiang Zhe said: "I don't like art films either."

The stall owner was a young man with long hair. When he saw Jiang Zhe and his friend trying to choose a DVD and finding it hard to make a decision, he gave them some advice: "Watch some American blockbusters. I have a relatively complete collection here. I heard that the second part of The Mummy was recently released in the U.S. We didn't import it, but I have the first part of The Mummy here. After watching the first part, you can watch the second part."

He said as he picked out a CD.

Jiang Zhe looked at the DVD handed over by the stall owner. The packaging was simple and printed with a photo of Rachel Weisz.

Chen Yan took the DVD and asked, "Have you seen this movie?"

Jiang Zhe shook his head. In his previous life, he watched the second part in an Internet cafe, and then went back to watch the first part.

"Let's look at this?" Chen Yan asked.

"it is good."

"Do you want to watch a horror movie?" Chen Yan picked out another Japanese movie.

Jiang Zhe saw that this DVD was even simpler, so he simply wrote two words. "Do you dare to watch it?"

He was worried that the pirated copy of the movie was too bad.

The stall owner said in time: "This movie is scary, the faint of heart should not watch it." His words only confirmed Chen Yan's idea. "This is it."

When Jiang Zhe paid, he asked directly: "Can this movie be shown?"

The stall owner assured as he was giving change: "It's high definition, quality guaranteed. I'm here every day, if you can't show it, come back to me."

Jiang Zhe and his partner had just stood up when a middle-aged woman came out of the copy shop next to them and said, "Xiao Zhao, help me learn how to use Photoshop."

The stall owner turned around and said, "I'm busy. I'll talk to you later."

The woman went back grumbling.

Jiang Zhe was curious, since not many people knew how to use Photoshop at that time.

“You taught yourself Photoshop?”

The stall owner had another attitude towards the customers: "No, I learned it in school."

"Which school did you study at?"

"I'm from the Art Department of Binhai University, and I studied graphic design." The stall owner said with some self-mockery.

"Are you here to work and study?" Jiang Zhe guessed the stall owner's age. He already had the answer in his mind, but he still couldn't help asking.

"What do you mean by work-study? I've graduated and found a job for myself." The stall owner said generously.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan, who had not yet been admitted to university, didn't know what to say. They looked at each other silently and left the stall.

After walking more than ten meters, Chen Yan couldn't help but ask Jiang Zhe: "Is that person bragging?"

Jiang Zhe knew that Chen Yan had already made a judgment when she asked this question. "Maybe, it's not bragging. What's the point of bragging to us? After graduation, we all have to find a job. You're lucky. Modeling is a good major."

Chen Yan was not discouraged: "I have seen many schools' admission brochures state that they will recommend students based on merit."

Hahaha… Jiang Zhe laughed out loud: "They said they would recommend the best, but they didn't say they would guarantee you a job. Who is the best? Who can predict what will happen four years later? Is it possible for the university to merge? Change its name? Is it possible that your major will be cancelled?"

Chen Yan stopped asking questions.

Students at this age know that competition will be fierce in the future, but they have not experienced it firsthand, so a real case is bound to bring shock.

Jiang Zhe didn't want this incident to affect their mood, so he took Chen Yan to buy various snacks and fruits, and took the initiative to change the subject.

"When I saw you buying discs, you looked very familiar. Do you come here often to buy discs?"

Chen Yan denied: "No?"

Jiang Zhe continued to tease: "Have you ever bought that kind of film?"

Chen Yan said angrily: "You are the only one who has this hobby. You guys like to watch...that kind of movies."

"You still don't admit it, but you'll understand once I bring up this topic." Jiang Zhe deliberately made fun of him.

"I'll beat you to death." After some fighting and playing, Chen Yan's mood immediately improved.

The two bought drinks, snacks and fruits and returned to the studio.

Jiang Zhe placed the snacks on the table, turned on his computer, and closed the curtains. The atmosphere was no worse than that of a movie theater.

Chen Yan put their chairs together, as close to the computer desk as possible, holding snacks in her hands, waiting for the movie to start.

Jiang Zhe debugged the computer, clicked the mouse, and started playing.

The puppy also lay beside the chair with interest.

They chose to watch The Mummy: Part 1 first.

The grand and mysterious opening introduction instantly attracted Chen Yan.

Jiang Zhe has watched it several times and thinks that the quality of this disc is pretty good, without the problems that pirated copies often have. In addition, the leading actress is good, and the movie is a bit long.

"Pause for a moment, and watch it again when I come back." An hour later, Chen Yan couldn't bear it any longer.

The movie was so exciting that she didn't want to pause it, but with food and drinks to eat, she couldn't help herself.

After she relieved the pressure, she came back to continue watching.

After the movie, she was still not satisfied: "What do you think will happen in the second part? Will it be about their son?"

Jiang Zhe certainly knew. "The second part should be the same routine. The mummy will come back to life and the hero and heroine will fight again."

"If that's the case, who would watch it?" Chen Yan sneered at Jiang Zhe. "This American blockbuster is so wonderful. I must find a chance to watch the second part."

When Jiang Zhe was changing the disc, he secretly sighed: The blockbusters of this era have a strong impact on the Chinese people.

The second movie they watched was a very classic horror movie from Japan, the one with two characters in its name.

This movie is also very exciting. The terrifying atmosphere made Chen Yan keep getting closer to Jiang Zhe, until she couldn't get any closer, and then she grabbed Jiang Zhe's arm.

Jiang Zhe has seen this movie and was also infected by the atmosphere.

Because Chen Yan screamed or made nervous movements from time to time, the puppy also barked from time to time.

Seeing that she was really nervous, Jiang Zhe suggested that she stop watching.

"No, keep watching." Chen Yan is a novice but playful person.

Jiang Zhe could only accompany him to watch the movie.

When the movie was over, Chen Yan still felt scared: "Should we play some happy music?"

Jiang Zhe walked to the window and opened the curtains. "It's getting dark, time for dinner." Chen Yan stood up slowly: "Let's go out to eat, wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom first."

Jiang Zhe lowered his voice: "When you go to the toilet, be careful~"

Ah~ Chen Yan covered her ears: "I don't want to listen."

"Why don't you take the dog in with you and let it keep an eye on things for you?"

Bang~ Chen Yan ran into the bathroom and closed the door.

A few seconds later, he ran out again and really led the puppy in.

Jiang Zhele laughed out loud.

Chen Yan quickly relieved herself of the pressure and came out to confront Jiang Zhe.

The two chatted and laughed and went to eat together.

As soon as she went out, Chen Yan's heartbeat began to accelerate again.

The lights in the corridor of the old building were dim, and although there were sounds from the residents' homes from time to time, she couldn't help but think of the movie scenes.

"Jiang Zhe, let's take the puppy with us. It will be too lonely if we leave it behind."

Following Chen Yan's suggestion, Jiang Zhe silently led the puppy out.

Chen Yan snatched the dog leash and immediately felt much more at ease.

Jiang Zhe said dimly, "Don't count on it. It doesn't have much courage."

"Bah~"

The puppy went downstairs happily, finally breaking the tense atmosphere.

The two had dinner in a small restaurant.

Jiang Zhe sent Chen Yan to the bus stop.

While waiting for the car, he asked Chen Yan: "Do you want me to take a taxi and take you home?"

Chen Yan said, "No, I'll take the bus. When do you want to go back to school? My parents asked me to go back to school tomorrow, and our school has cancelled the holiday."

Jiang Zhe said: "After Labor Day, I will go back to school."

Chen Yan was reluctant: "When can I come to see you?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Wait until Saturday and Sunday."

"From Monday to Friday, you must take the initiative to call me once a day."

Jiang Zhe shook his head: "Once a day? That's too much. How are you going to explain this to your parents?"

"Once every two days."

"talk later."

"I am serious."

"I'm serious too. You made it sound like we couldn't meet."

Chen Yan was depressed because she couldn't see Jiang Zhe often.

Seeing that Chen Yan was silent, Jiang Zhe had to comfort her and said he would call her regularly and ask her to come to the studio on Saturdays and Sundays.

The bus came and Chen Yan got on reluctantly.

Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and studied according to the plan. He washed up near midnight. He persisted until midnight and finally waited for the system prompt.

Today is the last day of April 2001. Will the players settle their learning results for this month?

Jiang Zhe clicks settle.

The game starts running...

The second prompt appears:
Players who accumulate study time and efficiency this month and reach a good level will be rewarded with 6 yuan.

Jiang Zhe was very satisfied, more than last month.

He opened up funding channels.

The options given by the system are still business opportunities, lottery, stocks, and selling paintings.

Jiang Zhe clicks to sell paintings.

System prompt: Please wait patiently.

Jiang Zhe looked at the patient waiting, feeling a little unhappy.

The last time I got a reward, I made myself wait patiently for a while.

He fell asleep in speculation.

……

It was late at night and most people had already fallen asleep.

Ning Anchi sat in the study, looking through today's important documents.

Although there was no progress on that important matter, she still carried out her work step by step without being affected in the slightest.

After reading the last document, I closed my eyes and reviewed today's work.

This is a habit she has developed. After reviewing, she will write down in her notebook what she needs to do tomorrow.

Before I finished writing the plan, my cell phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and answered immediately.

The person who called spoke briefly.

Ning Anchi said: "I will be there right away. Please inform me if there is any news."

She stood up and pressed the call button on the landline: "Sister Li, please help me arrange a car."

She quickly changed her clothes and went to the underground garage where the driver was ready.

"Go to Teacher Miao's house."

　I wish all my book friends and readers a happy New Year’s Eve.

　　thanks for your support.

　　Please read.
