Li Luo's smile made Zhou Chen stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw Li Luo smile in all the time he knew her.
"You, you can laugh?"
It's not that he has never seen the world, it's just that Li Luo is really beautiful when she smiles. If Li Luo's usual expression is to keep people at a distance, then her smile at this moment is like the sunshine that penetrates the haze, full of warmth and making people yearn for her.
Li Luo realized something was wrong and immediately stopped smiling, returning to her cold look again, as if the person who had just smiled was not her.
Seeing Li Luo's obvious reaction, Zhou Chen smiled nonchalantly, took Li Luo to the fourth floor of a plaza, bought two movie tickets, and started watching a movie.
In the evening, Zhou Chen met Li Luo's father Li Ruiyang again. During the meal, Li Ruiyang kept thanking Zhou Chen, saying that because of him, Li Luo would not stay at home all the time, and it was also because of him that he was willing to contact the outside world...
"Xiao Zhou, have you ever thought about developing your career in a big city? For example, Jinling."
Halfway through the meal, Li Ruiyang suddenly asked Zhou Chen.
"Going to Jinling? I haven't really thought about that, Uncle Li."
Zhou Chen shook his head. To be honest, after so many years in his hometown, he has become accustomed to the life here. Although he can adapt to the big city, he will be far away from his parents and relatives, so he doesn't want to leave his hometown and go to the big city to make a living.
It’s not that he doesn’t have ambition, but he feels that there is no need. His experiences in the world of film and television are already unforgettable enough. Why should he return to his own world and continue that stressful struggle? Wouldn’t it be better to live a stable life?
If he wants to struggle and make a breakthrough, he can rely on the system to travel to the world of film and television to struggle and make a breakthrough. In the real world, even if his mother is nagging and always muttering about him, he still wants to spend more time with his parents.
His reaction made Li Ruiyang a little dissatisfied: "Xiao Zhou, you are still young and unmarried. You don't know what is really important to a man. For a man, it is essential to start a family and build a career. A man should pursue a career instead of just living a stable life with a salary."
"You may not understand it now, but when you have elderly parents and young children, you will understand what I mean. For a man, a career is a must, because only a career can give you confidence and courage. Otherwise, in the future, the support of the elderly, the raising of children, and other miscellaneous things can really overwhelm a man."
"Uncle, let me tell you, money is not a good thing, but it is indispensable. Most of the time in a person's life, he is struggling with money..."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Li is right, it makes sense."
Zhou Chen didn't want to drink at first, but Li Ruiyang insisted on asking him to drink, so he had no choice but to accompany him.
Wow, after drinking this, Li Ruiyang got even more excited. The two of them drank four bottles of white wine in one gulp. Zhou Chen was better off because he had a high alcohol tolerance to begin with, and after his physique and spirit became stronger, his alcohol tolerance increased a lot.
As the CEO of an insurance company, Li Ruiyang can drink a lot, but this time he really met a tough guy named Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen drank two of the four bottles of liquor without spilling them all, but Li Ruiyang was not so good. He drank and spilled them all, but was finally defeated by Zhou Chen.
After dinner, Zhou Chen called a designated driver, and he and Li Luo helped Li Ruiyang back to the community, and then sent him to his doorstep before returning.

Chapter 190 Picking Up the Car
A few days later, Zhou Chen took the initiative to return to his parents, told them about his car purchase, and asked his parents to go with him to pick up the car.
"Xiaochen, you mean to say that you bought two cars, one for you and one for your dad?"
Mother Li Congping sat at the table and questioned Zhou Chen who was sitting next to her, while father Zhou Zhiming had his eyes blankly open with mixed feelings.
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I bought two cars, one BMW for myself and one Passat for my dad. The deposit has been paid and they told us to pick up the car today. Dad, pack up quickly and let my sister take us there."
Zhou Zhiming was a little tempted, but he glanced at his wife, sat still, and asked Zhou Chen, "Son, why did you think of buying a car? And two at once? Where did you get so much money?"
"Yes, Zhou Chen, where did you get the money?"
Eldest sister Zhou Xin also had a look of doubt on her face, mainly because she knew her brother very well. Zhou Chen would tell her about any important events. But he suddenly bought two cars, and both were quite expensive. This made her feel very surprised and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Li Congping was even more straightforward. She slammed the table and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on? You didn't spend all the money you saved in the past few years, did you?"
"Mom, with that little savings, he needs a down payment for a Passat, how can he afford two?"
Li Congping is not sensitive to the price of the car, but Zhou Xin has some understanding of it. Zhou Chen has worked for several years and his salary is only so little, so how can he have any spare money?
Zhou Chen immediately retorted: "Sister, you can't say that. How can I be penniless? I have money, richer than you all, but I just didn't tell you before."
The three members of the family were all staring at Zhou Chen, waiting for his answer.
"The thing is, when I was in college, in addition to learning professional knowledge, I also took some finance courses. Later, after I started working, I continued to study..."
Zhou Chen spoke a lot without changing his expression. Although it was all bragging, his words were logical and well-reasoned, which left his parents and sister stunned.
In short, Zhou Chen said that he is rich, and his money was earned through financial investment and financial management, such as Bitcoin last year, and stocks in the past and so on.
He had studied these, but not only his elderly parents, but even his sister Zhou Xin, who worked in the workplace, didn't quite understand them.
"So how much money do you have now?"
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, Li Congping was the first to react. The first thing she asked was not how Zhou Chen made money, but how much money Zhou Chen had.
Zhou Chen: "There are still tens of thousands."
"How much exactly?"
"More than 10 million."
"more specific."
"After buying the car, there is still more than 12 million."
Under his mother's questioning, Zhou Chen could only report a number at random. He didn't dare to say 50 million because he knew his mother very well.
Li Congping's eyes widened. "You spent more than 10 million yuan on a car? If you want to buy one, just buy it. You're young, and you need a car for dating and getting married. But your dad is an old man, so what car are you going to buy for him? And you bought such a good car. What if it gets bumped?"
Zhou Zhiming said awkwardly: "You can't say that. I also have a driver's license, and I can drive. Besides, if I have a car, if we have something to do at home and need to go far away, we don't need to call the children back every time. We can just drive away."
Knowing that his son still has more than 10 million in savings, he doesn't feel any pressure. It is natural for his son to give him a car as a gift since he is rich.
Li Congping snorted, "I didn't say I won't let you drive. My son bought a new car, so why don't we just give you the one he's driving now? Why do we need to buy a new one?"
Zhou Zhiming muttered a few words.
Zhou Chen said, "Mom, I bought that car a few years ago. Besides, I have money now, so I should buy Dad a new one. Look at Uncle Liu next door. His son bought him a Polo. He shows off in front of my dad every day. I am showing off to Dad."
"Yes, my son is right. You have seen how proud Old Liu is. Our son is no worse than his son, so we should drive a better car than him." Zhou Zhiming raised his hands in agreement.
"Okay, you two stop acting."
Li Congping waved her hands with an impatient look on her face. Doesn't she understand her husband and son?
"You bought two cars, so what do you do with the one you're driving now? Sell it?"
Zhou Chen had already thought about it. He said, "Mom, I don't think it's necessary to sell it. You don't have a driver's license yet. I think you can take this opportunity to learn how to drive, and then use my car to practice. You won't feel bad if it gets bumped. When you have mastered the skills, I will buy you another one. I guarantee it will be better than Dad's."
"What's so good about that? You made some money and started spending lavishly. I don't want your money. Just find me a partner to marry."
Seeing that his mother was talking about marriage again, Zhou Chen quickly changed the subject: "Okay, Mom, we have to go pick up the car, let's go."
Li Congping had already accepted it, so the family of four got into Zhou Xin's car and went to the 4S store to pick up the car.
The process of picking up the car was very smooth. Once you brought all the documents and paid the money, they would help you with everything, and then you could drive back happily.
When they came, there was one car, and when they left, there were three cars. Zhou Chen drove a newly purchased BMW, and his parents drove a newly purchased Passat.
When he got home, his brother-in-law had already booked a restaurant and was waiting for him. They should have set off firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of a new car, but due to the restrictions, they naturally couldn't do that.
The next day after picking up the new car, Zhou Chen was again reminded by his mother.
This time, in addition to asking him to find a girlfriend as soon as possible, I also asked him to save his money and find something to do. He should not do nothing all day just because he has money. He still has to work, whether it is a part-time job or doing things on his own. In short, he should not be idle.
Zhou Chen naturally would not object. He nodded repeatedly, indicating that everything would be done according to his mother's instructions.
In fact, he has always been thinking about finding something to do, but he just hasn't found the right way. After experiencing several worlds, it is definitely impossible for him to work again.
Now he has a lot of professional skills, but what he lacks is the relevant certificates.
By the way, the skill of the master builder he just acquired is quite good. If he works as a bricklayer and builds a house, the house he builds will definitely be more solid than those built by others.
But the problem is that it is impossible for him to build a house.
In the following days, Zhou Chen returned to his previous routine, watching TV series, exercising, reading the news, and looking at finance every day, while preparing for the next world.

Chapter 191: Little Joy, a Stun at the Beginning
"Next week? Okay, no problem. Tell me the location and I'll go right over."
Zhou Chen, who was preparing to take a break before traveling through time, suddenly received a call from his former winery colleague and high school classmate Wang Jialong.
Wang Jialong asked him to have dinner together next week and said he needed his help with something. He and Wang Jialong had known each other for more than ten years, so naturally he would not refuse and agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen called up the system panel and made another time travel.
A month passed quickly, and Zhou Chen watched more than a dozen TV series in this month. Because he found that he had only traveled through the world of TV series and had not traveled through the world of movies, he simply stopped watching movies and focused on watching TV series.
A strange bedroom, a strange table and bed. After Zhou Chen saw the situation in the bedroom, he realized that he had traveled through time.
When he looked down at his hands, his expression suddenly became surprised, because he found that his hands seemed to have become smaller and his skin seemed to have become softer.
Soon, a strange memory flooded into his mind...
After a moment, Zhou Chen received the system's memory and understood which world he had traveled to and his current situation.
This time he was wearing it, but there was a difference in the process. He went from 28 years old to 18 years old, ten years younger, so he saw that his hands became smaller and tenderer.
His name is still Zhou Chen, but his identity and background are completely different from the real world, especially his family, which is more complicated.
His father was still alive, but his mother died young. However, what happened in between made Zhou Chen feel extremely disgusted with his cheap father.
My parents were college classmates. They started a business together after graduation and built up a considerable business with their own abilities.
But when I was ten years old, my mother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and it was in the middle and late stages, so she had to stay in the hospital for treatment.
What happened next really made Zhou Chen feel extremely sick.
"My" cheap father cheated on my mother a few months after she was hospitalized. He found a young female college student and even got her pregnant.
This incident made the mother, who was already terminally ill, unable to hold on any longer.
But I have to say that the mother is indeed a great creature. Even when her body and mind collapsed, she still did not forget her child. She gritted her teeth and persisted, wanting to fight for the interests of her son.
In the end, this great mother put aside her emotions and grief, divorced her husband, divided her property, left all her inheritance to her son, and passed away with a smile.
After 'reading' this memory, tears flowed uncontrollably.
Zhou Chen wiped his tears and said silently: "Don't worry, from today on, I am your son. I will not let you down and live well."
After calming down, Zhou Chen continued to "look" at his memories.
He is now in Yanjing and is a senior student at Chunfeng Middle School, a key high school in the district. The house he lives in now is a two-bedroom apartment in Shuxiang Yayuan, a school district house next to Chunfeng Middle School.
Even with only this information, Zhou Chen immediately guessed which world he had traveled to. This was a popular TV series he had watched in the real world.
Little joy!
Little Joy is a TV series focusing on the life and study of senior high school students in their senior year. The plot is mainly told from the perspective of three families, telling the college entrance examination situation of different families and students.
In Yanjing City, three families preparing for the college entrance examination are not only facing the pressure of further study, but also facing the problem of parent-child relationship. The mother Tong Wenjie, who is disappointed with her son, and the poor student Fang Yifan, have many conflicts over their grades, and the father Fang Yuan has to mediate.
Single mother Song Qian, who refused her ex-husband Qiao Weidong's invasion of their lives, started to pay all-around attention to her daughter Qiao Yingzi's life, and misunderstandings and conflicts broke out quietly without her noticing.
The sudden arrival of his father Ji Shengli and his mother Liu Jing's care made Ji Yangyang, who had been raised by his uncle Liu Zheng since childhood, feel at a loss as to what to do. The cautious relationship between father and son did not bring peace to this relationship.
Middle-aged parents and children who have just entered adulthood, in this important trial of senior year, overcome the many difficulties set by life, learn to grow up in love and understanding, and welcome their own "little joy". '
Zhou Chen happened to watch this TV series in the past few months, so he can still remember the general plot.
Not only did he travel to the Little Joy World, he was also in the same class as Fang Yifan, Qiao Yingzi and others, and in a few days he would officially enter the third year of high school.
Becoming a student is the first time for Zhou Chen.
In the first four worlds, the people he traveled through, except for two times when their souls did not match in age, the other two times it was his original self that traveled through. This kind of experience was that he was still himself after traveling through time, but his body became younger.
The last time he was a high school student was many years ago. He has forgotten his life in his senior year of high school. He can only vaguely remember that it was a painful and difficult period.
However, the situation is different from that in the TV series Little Joy. Most of the conflicts in Little Joy come from the family. Zhou Chen remembers that at that time, his parents did not put any pressure on him. Instead, the school put a lot of pressure on them.
On this point, Zhou Chen is still very grateful to his parents. Although they also hope for the best for him, they did not impose their wishes on him. At most, they urged him to study and not play too much. For other things, they did not make excessive arrangements.
After roughly figuring out his current situation, Zhou Chen called up the system panel.
