The world of film and television begins from childhood

But the angry Nan Li did not stop, but continued speaking.

"I know that Xia Junshan wrote novels. He didn't waste time with his children. On the contrary, he has only been writing novels for a month and has already earned more than 10,000 yuan. And this is just the beginning. So, writing novels is not a waste of time. It is also a job that can make money."

Nan Jianlong was upset by his daughter's criticism and retorted, "This is not a question of making money or not. As an architectural designer, he should focus on his job. If he spends all his time writing novels, his professional skills will definitely decline, which is very detrimental to his future. Don't just look at the immediate benefits, but also think about the future."

"My job is to make money. As long as I can make money without breaking the law, why can't I do it?"

“Human energy is limited. You should learn one thing and focus on it. You can’t accomplish anything if you are distracted.”

"What's wrong with writing a novel in your spare time at work? It's better than going out drinking and dancing, right? I'm confident in Xia Junshan's self-control. Even if he writes a novel, he won't interfere with his work, and he won't go around having affairs and abandon his wife and children."

Nan Li was obviously so angry that she lost her mind. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out and she said the last sentence casually.

In an instant, the entire restaurant fell silent.

"shut up!"

Chapter 18 Awkward Family Dinner

Nan Jianlong's chest was heaving with anger, and Cai Juying was so scared that she quickly comforted him and told him not to be angry.

Seeing Nan Jianlong's expression, Nan Li suddenly felt a little regretful. She was so angry just now that she spoke without restraint and those words came out of her mouth.

But even though she regretted it, she really couldn't apologize now, especially in front of Tian Yulan and her son.

Zhou Chen was also a little confused at this time, but he reacted very quickly and felt Nan Li's emotions. He quickly held Nan Li's hand and silently comforted her.

As for Tian Yulan, who started the fuse of the incident, she dared not say a word at this moment. She pursed her lips, looked at Nan Jianlong, then at Nan Li, and finally lowered her head.

To be honest, although Tian Yulan had known Nan Jianlong for so many years through her mother, this was the first time she had seen Nan Jianlong so furious.

Although she was dissatisfied with Nan Li and wanted to suppress Nan Li, she did not really want to make the father and daughter turn against each other. At most, she was just venting her anger.

But who knew that instead of satisfying his urge to talk nonsense, he caused even bigger trouble. Now, Nan Jianlong was so angry that he was out of breath.

Yan Peng and his three children naturally dared not say a word.

It was a good meal, but before we had even taken a few bites, we were already caught up in this contradiction. Who could still eat?

The father and daughter were angry and neither of them was willing to give in. Zhou Chen felt that this was not a good idea.

If we talk about injustice, he was the most wronged. He did nothing but was criticized by Nan Jianlong. Nan Li only criticized her own father to stand up for him.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen said to Nan Jianlong, "Dad, Lili didn't mean that. She just couldn't control her emotions when she was angry. Please don't mind it."

With Cai Juying's comfort, Nan Jianlong calmed down a lot. Although he was still very angry, seeing his daughter's silence and the three children around them, as an elder, he could only suppress his unhappiness.

"Eat, eat."

Cai Juying immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, the food should be eaten while it is hot. It will not taste good if it is cold. Let's eat."

Tian Yulan was like a quail at this moment. She didn't dare to say a word and ate carefully.

Nan Li slowly calmed down with Zhou Chen's silent comfort. Seeing that her father did not get angry in public, she felt extremely guilty.

So many years have passed, and although she still feels aggrieved about what happened back then, she really shouldn't be so outspoken in such an occasion. Besides, her father is still ill, and if anything goes wrong from his anger, she will be fully responsible.

This meal was definitely the most embarrassing family dinner Zhou Chen had ever had. Although he had known that this family dinner would not be peaceful, he still did not expect it to turn out like this.

For some reason, he, who originally looked down on Nan Jianlong's actions, had to swallow his anger in the end after seeing Nan Jianlong being ridiculed in public by his own daughter.

This scene really made him feel deeply moved.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person, and there must be something pitiful about a hateful person.

The meal was finished in an awkward atmosphere. It was really not easy to finish this meal.

Take Xiao Chaochao for example, he was almost scared to tears just now, and it was Nan Li who coaxed him to stop crying.

Nan Li was about to leave after finishing her meal, but Nan Jianlong came to say he had something to talk to her about, so the two went to the study.

Yan Peng was originally blaming Tian Yulan. If it weren't for his wife who started it, things wouldn't have turned out like this today.

Tian Yulan, who had not dared to speak just now, was very arrogant in front of her husband Yan Peng. She kept retorting to him every time she said something, which made Yan Peng so angry that he had no choice but to run to find Zhou Chen.

"Brother, I'm sorry for what happened today. It's all my loser woman's fault. I'll definitely punish her when I get back."

Yan Peng expressed his determination to Zhou Chen and begged for forgiveness.

"Alas, I should not have told Uncle Nan about your novel writing. It's all my fault."

Zhou Chen didn't blame Yan Peng, and there was no reason to blame him. "Okay, what happened today has nothing to do with you. It's also my responsibility for not stopping it in time. Sigh."

Yan Peng also sighed: "Ah, yes, this meal made me feel so embarrassed. My spendthrift wife is just like that. Brother, please don't mind it too much."

Zhou Chen said: "I'm not that petty, but you have to talk to me when you go back. Adults should solve conflicts between themselves. Don't involve children next time."

"Yes, yes, it is Tian Yulan who has gone too far this time. No matter what, the child must not be involved."

Yan Peng nodded repeatedly, and then said with a serious face: "I didn't pay much attention to what you told me last time about Ziyou's problem. Now it seems that Tian Yulan does have some problems. I must talk to her when I go back."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and said several times that he would deal with Tian Yulan, but do you have the ability to do so?

Nan Jianlong and his daughter talked in the study for a long time. When they came out and saw that the two had returned to their original state, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the apparent calmness or whatever the reason, it is good enough that there are no further conflicts.

Nan Li drove the car back. Huanhuan and Chaochao were in the car, and neither of them said anything about what happened today.

However, after returning home, Nan Li took Huanhuan and Chaochao to her mother's house across the street. It seemed that they had no place to complain, leaving Zhou Chen alone to continue typing in front of the computer.

In the evening, Zhou Chen heard the door open. He walked out of the study and saw that it was not Nan Li, but Mi Tao's mother who came to clean the house.

"Mother Mi Tao is here."

Zhou Chen took the initiative to say hello. Originally, Mi Tao's mother was supposed to come at noon today, but because they went there at noon, he called to ask if Mi Tao's mother was free in the afternoon. So Mi Tao's mother agreed to come in the evening.

"Hello, Huanhuan's father. I'm sorry I came a little late."

Mi Tao's mother is a very simple woman with a very good attitude. Especially when it comes to doing things, she is a good hand at it. Every time she comes, she will do her best to clean.

Nan Li had dinner across the street, while Zhou Chen just had a quick bite after Mi Tao's mother left.

At night, after coaxing Chaochao and Huanhuan to sleep, Nan Li ran on the treadmill to vent her emotions.

"Lili, take a break. You've been running for half an hour. If you keep running like this, you'll hurt your legs."

"Hu, hu, hu!"

Nan Li slowly stopped, and Zhou Chen took the opportunity to say, "Li Li, you were so handsome today. The moment you stood up for me, I was so moved."

Nan Li calmed down and rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen who was making trouble.

"It was just to vent your anger that it ended up like that."

"Blame me, blame me. I didn't expect that the old man would drag me into this. I didn't even react when I saw you coming up..."

Nan Li snorted, "He was wrong in the first place. Even if he wanted to stop me and Tian Yulan, he shouldn't have used you as an excuse. Besides, it was Tian Yulan who provoked me first today. Look at her. She kept praising her son and belittling our Huanhuan. Are you angry?"

"Angry, of course I am angry, but let's not argue with her. Like you said, it's her family's problems. She wants to show off what she lacks. Let's not argue with her. It's pointless."

"Of course I didn't mean to argue with her, but what she said today was so infuriating, it was like taking bullets."

"She acted like that because the gift the old man gave Ziyou was the same as the last time. She felt uncomfortable, so she took advantage of the situation. You know what I mean."

"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"

Nan Li indeed didn't notice this. If that was the case, then everything would make sense.

"Dad was definitely wrong in this matter, but that's not why she was targeting us, and she certainly shouldn't have been targeting Huanhuan. This is unacceptable."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Husband, how is the coin you said you invested in now?"

"It's OK. The growth is good. So far, it has increased by about 30%."

Nan Li was surprised: "30%, then apart from the principal, wouldn't that mean that I have made more than 100,000 yuan?"

"Just over 100,000, Lili. Why did you ask this? Didn't you always oppose my investment before?"

Zhou Chen was very puzzled. He had been investing for a while, so why did Nan Li think of asking about it today?

Nan Li rested for a while, recovered, and sat on the chair next to her.

"I was thinking, if Huanhuan and Chaochao really aren't cut out for studying, shouldn't we make more preparations and make more money while we still have the ability? Even if they don't have much of a future, we can still save some money for them."

Chapter 19 The plan begins

Nan Li’s words surprised Zhou Chen greatly. How could she, who never cared much about money, say such a thing?

"Lili, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Nan Li said: "Tian Yulan's provocation today did make me uncomfortable, but I thought about it afterwards. If Huanhuan continues to study like this, she will definitely not be able to get into a good university in the future. If we want to help her, we can either force her to study or create a better family environment for her."

"If our conditions are good enough, we won't have to push Huanhuan too hard. Even if Huanhuan can't finish her studies, she won't live worse than others."

Zhou Chen was really surprised. Nan Li had always been quite Buddhist in her attitude towards her children's education. Now she had more or less realized the problem, but she did not want Huanhuan to study hard. Instead, she looked for the reasons within herself and wanted to improve her family's conditions.

Nan Li's doting on the child is no less than his original behavior.

However, there is one thing he agrees with very much, which is to improve his own conditions and make more money.

"Then what do you mean?"

Nan Li asked: "I want to know, is the Bitcoin you mentioned really a sure win?"

Zhou Chen replied: "I can't guarantee it, but within a few months, there should be some profit. According to my estimate, it can double again."

"Are you sure?"

"More than 90%."

Nan Li was also resolute and decisive. "Then let's do as you say. With this month's salary, we still have more than 500,000 in savings. We'll keep a few tens of thousands for daily expenses, and the remaining 500,000 will all be given to you to invest."

"hiss!"

Zhou Chen took a breath, Nan Li's contrast was too great. He had talked so much before but it was useless. Now, before he had even said a word, she took out all her savings.

"Lili, are you sure?"

"I am sure that whether our family can prosper in the future depends on you."

According to Zhou Chen, if they invested all the money, they would get at least two to three million in return, which is equivalent to three or four years' salary, even if they didn't eat or drink.

Seeing that Nan Li trusted him so much, Zhou Chen was deeply moved and hugged Nan Li in his arms.

"Honey, don't worry, in three months at most, I promise I will give you a big surprise."

Not only Bitcoin, his novel will also be put on the shelves soon. The data is still very good. In the next two or three months, as long as he updates a lot, it should not be a big problem to earn tens of millions.

"I'm all sweaty."

Nan Li struggled to push Zhou Chen away, but Zhou Chen hugged her even tighter.

"I don't mind. Let's go and take a bath together."

"You're so annoying. Who wants to take a bath with you?"

"That won't allow you."

Amid Nan Li's exclamation, Zhou Chen simply carried her around the waist and walked towards the bathroom. Soon, the bathroom was filled with a bright spring scene.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

During this period, Zhou Chen's novel was finally put on the shelves. After he updated 30,000 words that day, the first order directly reached 12,000. With 20,000 words updated every day afterwards, more than ten days later, the average order had reached more than 20,000, and the growth trend was very good. Various recommendations never stopped.

Relying on the frequent updates, it entered the top 20 of the sales list of Qiyue Novels in just over ten days, and it can be said that it started to become a big hit.

Originally, Zhou Chen conservatively estimated that he could earn around 100,000 in the first month, but at this rate, even if it’s less than a month, the sales will definitely not be low.

Based on what he knew about the plot, it would not be a problem for him to write more than three million words. Next, he would either continue writing according to the plot or abandon the story. He was still considering the specific choice.

In addition to writing novels, Zhou Chen goes to work. During this time, he met another character in the plot, and he was an extraordinary person.

The CEO of the horse racing group, Fang Yuanyang.

Just like in the TV series, Fang Yuanyang came to their design institute and asked him to design an iconic group building for the Jockey Club.

The Jockey Club Group is a well-known group company in Jiangzhou City, with assets reaching tens of billions.

It was strange to Zhou Chen that the CEO of such a large group could hire any kind of designer, but he had to ask him to do the design. You should know that the design institute he worked for was not the best in Jiangzhou City.
