The world of film and television begins from childhood

However, after Shen Man saw Zhou Chen leave, she curiously asked Li Muzi, "Who is Huo Ran?"

Li Muzi hugged Miaomiao and then replied: "He Fei was a colleague when he was a diving instructor. They had a good relationship and I met him several times."

Zhou Chen arrived at the door of his villa and soon saw a black SUV driving over.

"Hey, He Fei."

Huo Ran got out of the car and greeted Zhou Chen in a very proud manner.

"Your place is indeed a high-end villa area, the management is strict. I didn't feel it when I came in with you last time, but today I came alone and they refused to let me in. But living in such a high-end community, I feel very safe. It's much better than the one I bought."

Zhou Chen ignored his words of envy and just asked, "Why didn't you call me before you came?"

Huo Ran smiled and said, "I just wanted to give you a surprise. Take me to see our daughter. I also bought her some small clothes."

He took out two sets of packaged clothes from the car, and said with emotion: "Children nowadays are so pampered. These two sets of clothes cost me several hundred dollars. We didn't have such good clothes when we were kids."

"Let's go in first."

Zhou Chen brought Huo Ran into the villa. Although Huo Ran had been here once before, he couldn't help but look around this time. He dreamed of owning such a luxurious villa, but he also knew that this was not something he could own.

Although Huo Ran is not a good person, he is good at talking. After coming in and seeing Li Muzi, he immediately called "Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law" very enthusiastically. Then he handed the small clothes he bought to Li Muzi and teased Miaomiao for a while.

After playing for a while, Zhou Chen winked at Li Muzi. Li Muzi picked up the child, said sorry to Huo Ran, and went upstairs with Shen Man.

Zhou Chen took Huo Ran to sit down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, where they could get some sun.

"Now that you've bought a house and found a girlfriend, you're going to get married soon, right?"

"What kind of marriage? I broke up with Yang Hui. This woman is so greedy. When buying a house, she even wanted me to add her name. Am I stupid or is she stupid? It's just a dream. This kind of woman is not worth having, so I broke up with her directly. I already have a house in Shanghai, so why should I worry about not being able to find a wife?"

Zhou Chen was not surprised to see Huo Ran with an arrogant look on his face. Huo Ran was just like that. He would become very arrogant once he gained power.

Huo Ran suddenly rolled his eyes, approached Zhou Chen and asked, "He Fei, who was that beautiful girl with your wife just now? She is so beautiful and has a good figure. She is my type."

"What are you thinking about? That's Muzi's best friend. She's not in China. She lives abroad all year round. She came back specially this time because Muzi gave birth to a child."

"So what if they are from abroad? Love knows no boundaries, and everything is possible. Introduce someone to me, and ask your wife to say something good about me."

Seeing Huo Ran's flattering and eager look, Zhou Chen really wanted to throw a big slap at him. He was not belittling Huo Ran, but for a woman as outstanding as Shen Man, Huo Ran was not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

"To tell you the truth, you'd better forget about this matter. Shen Man is not someone you can control."

Huo Ran was unhappy after hearing this: "Why are you so sure? If you can pick up Li Muzi, I may be able to pick up Shen Man. All I need is for you to give me a lead."

Zhou Chen was too lazy to bother with him: "I can't do this. If you really want to, go find her yourself later. But I can tell you in advance that Shen Man is not easy to mess with. Don't get embarrassed after getting rejected."

Huo Ran's face turned very ugly. He was really attracted by the beautiful Shen Man. He had had several girlfriends, but he had never met one as beautiful as Shen Man. In his eyes, Li Muzi was already a goddess. Not to mention her wealth, Shen Man seemed to be more beautiful than Li Muzi.

It’s just that Zhou Chen was unwilling to help him make connections, and he was really a little afraid to go find Shen Man.

In the end, he didn't talk about this matter anymore, but told Zhou Chen another purpose for his coming here.

"He Fei, I have something else I want to ask you for help with. Don't worry, it's not about money."

"what's up?"

"Chinese New Year is coming soon. I plan to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. When I come back, I will bring my parents to see the new house I bought. So I want to borrow your car to drive back to my hometown."

"Borrow a car? Don't you have a car yourself?" Zhou Chen asked puzzled.

Huo Ran smiled and said, "My car is just a junky one. I want to borrow a nice car from you so that I can look good when I go back. He Fei, please do me a favor. I know your family has several luxury cars. I will borrow one and return it to you after the New Year. Is that ok?"

Zhou Chen was really speechless. He wanted to go back to his hometown to show off and pretend to be returning in glory.

It's just that he himself has no ability and keeps thinking about these crooked ways.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He was still thinking about how to solve the trouble of Huo Ran. Isn't this a good opportunity?

So he showed hesitation on his face: "There are several luxury cars in our garage, all of which belonged to my wife's parents. Although I can drive them, I can't make the decision to lend them to you. My wife must agree."

Huo Ran said anxiously: "Then please talk to your wife for me. You just gave birth to a daughter, she will definitely listen to you."

Zhou Chen glanced at him calmly and said, "You are good at talking. Okay, I'll ask for you. You wait here for me."

He went upstairs and told Li Muzi. Li Muzi certainly did not refuse. In her opinion, Huo Ran was Zhou Chen's friend and it was just a small matter of borrowing the car for a few days.

"My wife agrees. Come with me to the garage and choose one."

Huo Ran was very excited after hearing this, and excitedly followed Zhou Chen to the garage, and then saw several luxury cars parked in the garage.

Because these are all cars left by Li Muzi's parents, there are no sports cars. Basically, they are some business cars, most of which are Mercedes-Benz.

Huo Ran walked around several cars, looking around, and finally stood in front of a G-Class.

"Just this one, He Fei, can you lend me this one?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then this one."

Huo Ran couldn't wait to ask: "Can I drive away now?"

Zhou Chen said, "No, this car has not been driven for a long time, and I don't know if there is any problem. I need to go to the store to check it before I can drive long distances. How about you drive it to the store for maintenance, or I will drive it to the store for maintenance tomorrow, and you can pick it up the day after tomorrow?"

Huo Ran's face froze. The inspection and maintenance of this G-Class would probably cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, so he was not willing to spend the money.

"You should drive it in for inspection tomorrow. I'll come pick it up the day after tomorrow. I'll return it to you after I get back from my hometown."

"Okay, then I'll drive it over for maintenance and inspection tomorrow, and you can pick it up the day after tomorrow."

"Remember to fill up the gas when the time comes." Huo Ran reminded again.

Zhou Chen was really thinking fuck it in his heart, damn, this Huo Ran is really a talented person.

Chapter 1062: Huo Ran is offline, Shen Man's script

Zhou Chen still underestimated Huo Ran's thick skin. This guy refused to leave and only left reluctantly after dinner.

As soon as Huo Ran left, Shen Man came to Zhou Chen in a threatening manner.

"He Fei, what does your friend mean?"

Zhou Chen was surprised and asked, "He came to see you?"

Shen Man said angrily: "He asked me for WeChat and said that he had been in Shanghai for many years and that if I wanted to go shopping, he could be my guide. Is he okay? What good things is he thinking? Did you instigate him?"

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Is this how I look to you? To tell you the truth, he did have feelings for you and asked me to help introduce you to someone new, but I told him he had no chance and rejected him. I didn't expect that he didn't give up and even contacted you privately on WeChat. I really didn't know anything about it."

Li Muzi couldn't help laughing: "Manman, this shows that you are very charming. It just so happens that I can't go out with you, why don't you go out with Huo Ran and get to know him?"

"Impossible, he's just wishful thinking."

Shen Man jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Zhou Chen: "He is my friend after all. It's not good for you to belittle him in front of me."

Shen Man looked disdainful: "Friends? Do you think I can't see that? You are very perfunctory to him. A real friend would not be like this. I think it's more like a drinking buddy."

Li Muzi didn't have as strong an observational eye as Shen Man, and was afraid that Zhou Chen would mind, so she hurriedly said, "Manman, don't talk nonsense. He Fei and Huo Ran have known each other for several years and have a good relationship."

"He knows whether it's good or not." Shen Man is very sure of her judgment.

Zhou Chen sighed. Shen Man was worthy of being a director. She was quite good at observing people's words and expressions.

"Well, you're not wrong. My relationship with Huo Ran is indeed not that good. At least it's not as good as the relationship between Mu Zi and you. But Mu Zi is also right. After all, we have been friends for several years, so we still have to maintain a good relationship on the surface."

Shen Man said to Li Muzi proudly: "Muzi, did you hear me? I'm right, there are only two good friends like us in the world."

Li Muzi nodded in agreement.

Zhou Chen felt emotional in his heart. These two women did have enough confidence in their friendship. But what they said made sense. It might be an exaggeration to say that they were unique, but it was true that they were rare in the world.

Shen Man said: "I advise you to have less contact with Huo Ran in the future. He doesn't look like a good person."

She also knew when to stop, so after saying this, she never mentioned Huo Ran again.

The next morning, Zhou Chen took the car for maintenance and inspection, then drove back and tinkered with it in the garage.

Another day passed, and Huo Ran came to drive. This time he drove a luxury car. He did not stay for dinner, but drove away in the G-Class directly.

Zhou Chen watched Huo Ran leave. After this farewell, they would most likely never see each other again.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the community has become noticeably more lively, and the outside world is also much more lively.

Because Li Muzi couldn't leave home during her confinement period, Zhou Chen went out to buy everything she needed. Now he is mainly responsible for the outside affairs.

Li Muzi was unable to leave home and could not take care of the affairs of the group, so it was time for Zhou Chen to step in. He represented Li Muzi at the year-end meeting.

Zhou Chen has been an acquaintance in the company for a long time, and the senior management of the group also knows about Li Muzi's situation. Naturally, they have no objection to Zhou Chen attending the year-end meeting.

During the meeting, Zhou Chen did not speak, but was always observing. He found many problems, but none of them were big problems.

It has to be said that Li Muzi has absolute equity and has hired an outstanding professional manager. Although the Xingchuan Group is not as glorious as when Li Muzi's parents were in control, it has stabilized the situation. Therefore, as long as Li Muzi does not have any problems and everything develops steadily, there will not be much shock to the Xingchuan Group.

Zhou Chen also learned about the history of Xingchuan Group. In fact, Li Muzi's parents were not the largest shareholders of the group. However, they relied on their own abilities to gradually expand the group and eventually established Xingchuan Group, which has grown to its current scale.

Therefore, many old people within the Xingchuan Group support Li Muzi as the heir. Although the company was in turmoil for a long time when Li Muzi's parents just passed away, it eventually stabilized.

Although there are various problems within the company and there is discord among the senior management, this is not a bad thing for Li Muzi.

After Zhou Chen finished the meeting and confirmed that there were no major problems with Xingchuan Group’s accounts, he gave a few instructions to the current general manager and then left.

Xingchuan Group is the foundation and guarantee of Li Muzi's life. As long as there is no problem, he doesn't bother to care. But if someone wants to stir up trouble and target Li Muzi, he will definitely not stand idly by. He will let them see what cruelty is.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhou Chen bought a lot of New Year's goods. Although there are not many people celebrating the New Year together, there must be a New Year atmosphere in his own home.

The nanny, Aunt Chen, took her holiday on the 27th day of the lunar year. As for the confinement nanny, since she is a local, she went home on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, and returned to work on the second day.

The twenty-ninth day of the lunar year!

Just when Zhou Chen and his friends were taking their kids for a walk after lunch, the police suddenly came to their door.

Zhou Chen opened the door and saw two policemen in uniform. He immediately had a guess.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Hello sir, is this Ms. Li Muzi's home?" one of the policemen asked.

Zhou Chen replied, "Yes, I am Li Muzi's lover. Hello, comrades. What do you want to see my wife for?"

"Not long ago, a car accident occurred on the highway. One car was driving too fast and overturned, causing multiple cars to collide. One person died and several people were injured. According to our investigation, the vehicle that caused the accident was a Mercedes-Benz owned by Ms. Li Muzi, so we came here to conduct an investigation and interview."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen was shocked. "What? Police officer, what's going on? My wife is still at home recuperating after giving birth. It's impossible for her to go on the highway. All the cars under her name are at home. There's no..."

Suddenly he paused, and then became even more shocked: "Could it be the one with 736?"

When the two policemen heard Zhou Chen's words, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at each other.

"Mr. Zhou, we still have something to ask Ms. Li. May I ask if you can let us in?"

"Of course, please come in, please come in."

Zhou Chen led the two policemen into the house. At this time, Shen Man was holding the child in the living room and coaxing him, while Li Muzi was resting on the sofa with a quilt covering her.

When they saw Zhou Chen coming in with two policemen, their faces changed.

Shen Man asked curiously: "He Fei, what's going on? Why are the police here at this time?"

Zhou Chen said: "The car I lent to Huo Ran must have been in an accident, and these two police officers are here to investigate."

"A car accident?"

Shen Man and Li Muzi were both stunned when they heard this. Of course they knew about the car borrowing, but it had been several days, so how could something unexpected happen?

Zhou Chen pointed at Li Muzi and said to them: "Comrades, this is my wife, Li Muzi."

Li Muzi was about to stand up, but the two policemen hurriedly said, "Ms. Li, there's no need to stand up. We can still question you this way."

They had just learned from Zhou Chen that Li Muzi was in confinement after giving birth, and considering Li Muzi's family conditions, they were very polite.

Li Muzi looked confused: "Comrade police, what happened?"

The two policemen confirmed Li Muzi's identity and then explained the situation.

According to highway surveillance, the G-Class they lent out was traveling on the highway at a speed of over 120 mph. For some reason, it suddenly lost control and overturned, rolling a long distance and hitting several cars, causing a chain reaction.

The people in other cars were fine, with the most serious injuries being severe ones, but the driver of the G-Class died on the spot, and the car was in pieces, with parts scattered all over the road.

Because of Li Muzi's current condition, the police did not elaborate on the situation at the scene, but only focused on asking why someone else was driving Li Muzi's car.

Zhou Chen explained on behalf of Li Muzi why he lent the car to Huo Ran. Shen Man and Li Muzi both testified on the spot.

After inquiring about the situation, the two police comrades did not stay for long. Instead, they comforted Zhou Chen and the others and told them not to be too sad. They also said that someone might come to inquire about the situation later, so they just needed to explain the situation truthfully.

After the police left, Li Muzi and Shen Man looked at each other, and Zhou Chen also pretended to be equally shocked.
