The world of film and television begins from childhood

Hu Youyu looked at Xu Hongdou again and suggested, "Hongdou, why don't you sing a song? You have a nice voice and you will definitely be good at singing."

Xu Hongdou also hastily declined: "I really can't do it. I haven't been able to sing since I was a child. I don't have any artistic talent at all."

Hu Youyu sighed, "Ah, you are all so boring. Singing is such an interesting thing. It's so boring that no one sings."

Zhou Chen patted the stains on his hands and said, "Teacher Hu, let me sing a song."

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, can you sing?"

Zhou Chen said: "I understand a little, I understand a little."

As he spoke, he walked to Hu Youyu's side. Hu Youyu immediately gave up his seat. Zhou Chen took the guitar from Hu Youyu and sat on the wooden chair.

He gently strummed the guitar a few times and faced the crowd.

"A song called 'Girl Don't Cry' for everyone."

"Sudden news..."

The clear sound of strings accompanied by pleasant singing slowly echoed in the windy courtyard.

Just after Zhou Chen sang a few lines, the eyes of everyone in the courtyard changed. Especially Hu Youyu and Nana, who were more knowledgeable about songs, looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.

After listening for a while, they were sure that they had never stopped singing this song. Nana couldn't help but take out her mobile phone to start searching, but the search results surprised her even more. There was no such song by Zhou Chen on the Internet at all, which meant that this was most likely an original song.

This is a song that comforts and inspires people, but when listening to it, one feels inexplicably sad, especially when Zhou Chen sang to the climax, the people in the courtyard were infected by the emotion and showed inexplicable expressions.

As Zhou Chen sang, the person who was most deeply moved was undoubtedly Xu Hongdou.

Listening to Zhou Chen's lyrics and singing, she seemed to sink into it. She felt that Zhou Chen was singing about her and Chen Nanxing. The song seemed to be describing her state of mind. The more she listened, the sadder she felt. All the memories of Chen Nanxing in the past seemed to reappear before her eyes.

Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably.

As Zhou Chen finished singing the last sentence, the guitar stopped, and there was no sound in the courtyard at all. No one had recovered from the singing just now.

It was Hu Youyu who reacted first. He shouted excitedly: "Zhou Chen, is this song of yours, this song of yours, original?"

Hu Youyu's scream woke everyone up. Da Mai was shocked to see Xu Hongdou and Nana in tears.

"Nana, Anko, what's wrong with you?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Hongdou quickly wiped away her tears with a piece of paper and said casually, "It's nothing. I was just moved by Zhou Chen's singing and thought of some past events."

Nana shared the same feeling and said, "Zhou Chen sang so well. I was also thinking of some sad things and tears came down. Zhou Chen, your song is so good, but it's a little sad."

Zhou Chen explained: "This is a song of encouragement and comfort. It tells people not to give up their love for life or themselves. No matter what happens, they must face themselves bravely and stand up bravely. That's why it sounds sad."

Ma Qiushan rubbed his eyes and said, "Don't talk about those little girls. Even a grown man like me was deeply moved after listening to your song. I don't listen to many songs. How come I have never heard this song before?"

Hu Youyu asked impatiently: "Zhou Chen, tell me quickly, is this original?"

Zhou Chen replied: "It is indeed original. It is a song I wrote not long ago. Today is the first time I played it. It seems to be quite good."

"It's more than good, it's absolutely amazing, wait."

Hu Youyu was amazed, then looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment: "What did you say? Did you write this song?"

Zhou Chen said confidently: "Why, no? Have you heard it somewhere else? I'm not afraid to tell you, if I had debuted as a singer, I would be a singer now."

"It was really written by you, Zhou Chen, you are so awesome." Hu Youyu looked incredulous.

Nana also praised: "This song is really nice, Zhou Chen, you are amazing."

The others also expressed their deep agreement. Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but say, "It seems that I praised you too early. Not only can you draw, but you can also sing so well."

Hu Youyu emphasized: "Singing well is not the key, the key is that he wrote this song. He is a singer-songwriter, do you understand? Zhou Chen, you are really amazing. What other songs have you created? We can discuss it together."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need to discuss this. I write songs and sing just for fun. I have no intention of developing in this area."

Hu Youyu said anxiously, "How can that be possible? You are so talented. If you publish it online, it will definitely become popular and you will make a lot of money."

Xie Zhiyao pushed Hu Youyu and said, "Stop talking. If Zhou Chen wanted to make money, he wouldn't have to sing. You don't know Zhou Chen at all."

In the courtyard, he knows Zhou Chen best. Zhou Chen is a big boss who owns Chenxing Capital and also does charity. Every year, he donates hundreds of millions to charity. How many of the top singers can compare with his capital?

Zhou Chen returned the guitar to Hu Youyu: "When I get interested in it in the future, maybe I will do that, but now, I don't have the energy to do that. I have more important things to do."

Sitting back in his seat, Zhou Chen looked up and saw Xu Hongdou's gaze, which was full of strangeness, so he smiled back.

He sang this song whenever he felt like it, but he really sang it for Xu Hongdou. His mission was to help Xu Hongdou get out of trouble and get back on her feet. Although one song might not be successful, it could leave a seed in Xu Hongdou's heart.

Xu Hongdou's biggest dilemma now is that she is unable to wake up from Chen Nanxing's departure. If he wants to help Xu Hongdou, he must take it step by step and slowly resolve the grief of Chen Nanxing's departure from Xu Hongdou's heart.

Hu Youyu was obviously still unwilling to give up. He was just a music fan, and now that he had met a creative person like Zhou Chen, it was like a wolf seeing meat.

But no matter how he persuaded Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen remained indifferent. The benefits he mentioned could not impress Zhou Chen at all.

Chapter 1190 Pulling the trouser pocket, the liar incident

Because of Zhou Chen's song, several people tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep that night.

The people living in this windy courtyard all have their own troubles. Zhou Chen's song reminded them of their past and sorrow, and it was naturally difficult for them to calm down.

Hu Youyu even looked for Zhou Chen several times to persuade him, but was rejected by Zhou Chen every time. Even after returning to the room, he still sent WeChat messages to Zhou Chen.

Xu Hongdou was in her room, looking at the photo of herself and Chen Nanxing under the dim light, her expression extremely complicated.

"Chen Nanxing, I miss you again. One of his songs made me think of you again. If it were you, you would definitely tell me not to cry, just like his song. I feel as if he was singing this song just for me."

Holding the photo, Xu Hongdou couldn't fall asleep, her mind full of the melody and lyrics of Zhou Chen's song.

Three days passed in a flash, and then a few days passed. There was still no response from the phone that Xu Hongdou sent for repair. She was not worried at all. Instead, she took Damai to make milk fans and flower cakes with Aunt Agui and Aunt Baoping.

Nowadays, many things cannot be done without mobile phones, especially for young people. They would probably feel uneasy if they don’t touch their mobile phones for a day.

But Xu Hongdou was different. She hadn't used her cell phone for almost a week, but she wasn't irritable at all. It seemed as if she had gotten used to life without a cell phone.

In the evening, Zhou Chen received a call. The matter he asked the company employees to check had received a response, so he prepared to go to Xie Zhiyao's house next door to tell him.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Xu Hongdou playing with Ma Qiushan in the yard.

"Zhou Chen, it's so late, where are you going?"

"Let's go to Mr. Xie's house next door. He has already found out something about the matter he asked me to help investigate. Do you want to go with us? After we finish talking, we can go out for a walk?"

Xu Hongdou tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, then quickly nodded.

"Okay, since I can't sleep anyway, I'll go out for a walk with you."

After spending so many days with Zhou Chen, she no longer has any guard against him. If it were in the past, she would definitely not go out with a man so late.

"Have you had dinner?"

"Nope."

"Oh, are you losing weight?"

"No, I just didn't think about eating. Anyway, there's nothing to do. I can eat anytime. There's no rush."

Since coming to Yunmiao Village, except for the first few days when she wandered around, she has been lying down for the past few days. She sleeps until she wakes up naturally in the morning and goes to bed whenever she wants at night.

As for meals, except for lunch which is on time, there is no fixed time for breakfast and dinner. I eat when I remember to eat. If I don’t remember and I’m not hungry, then I won’t eat.

"You're pretty comfortable then."

Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou walked into the courtyard of Xie Zhiyao's house. Just as they were about to enter the main room, they suddenly heard a quarrel between Xie Zhiyao and his brother Xie Zhiyuan coming from inside the house.

Xie Zhiyao asked Xie Zhiyuan to go to school, but Xie Zhiyuan refused to go, saying that he didn't want to embarrass himself again.

As they were arguing, Xie Zhiyao impatiently told the story of how he had diarrhea during class and couldn't help but poop in his pants. Xie Zhiyuan was so angry that he screamed and shouted in frustration that he wanted to die, and then rushed out of the house.

But when he ran out of the house, he was stunned. He looked at Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou standing outside the door with a confused face. He lost control and fell directly in front of Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou.

When Xie Zhiyao heard the scream, he ran out of the room. When he saw Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou, he was a little confused.

Xu Hongdou pulled Zhou Chen's clothes and winked at him. Zhou Chen stated his purpose expressionlessly.

"Mr. Xie, I came here to tell you about something you asked me to do a few days ago, but it seems that we came at the wrong time. In that case, we won't bother you anymore and we can talk about it tomorrow."

Having said that, he was about to turn around and leave, and Xu Hongdou followed closely.

But when Xie Zhiyuan, who had fallen to the ground, heard that Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou were leaving, he excitedly rushed over and hugged Zhou Chen's thighs.

"You can't leave. You can't leave."

Xie Zhiyao looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, did you guys hear it just now?"

Xu Hongdou immediately waved her hands: "No, we didn't hear anything. We just arrived and we really didn't hear anything."

But this sentence is like a cover-up, how could the Xie brothers believe it?

Xie Zhiyao said, "Zhou Chen, come in and talk. It's not a good idea to stand outside. I also want to know what happened to Xiaoxia."

As soon as Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou walked into the house, Xie Zhiyuan slammed the door of the main room shut with great force, then held the door against his body, staring at Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou, not giving them a chance to leave.

His behavior made the three people in the room feel helpless, but Xie Zhiyao didn't take it seriously. He just asked Zhou Chen: "Did you find out anything about the brother Kevin that Xiaoxia mentioned?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "We have found out some things, but not the details. However, according to my people's investigation, this Kevin is not like what Xiaoxia said. He is very likely to be a liar."

"fraud?"

Xie Zhiyao's face changed drastically. In fact, he also had doubts about Kevin, so he asked Zhou Chen to help investigate.

Zhou Chen’s speed surprised him, and the results of the investigation shocked him even more.

"sure?"

Zhou Chen said: "You know that the people in my company can't lie to me, and they are all professionals. This answer is based on investigation and analysis. I dare not say it is 100%, but the accuracy rate is definitely more than 90%."

Xie Zhiyao's face turned ugly. Zhou Chen had already said so, so it was almost certain that the brother Kevin that Xiaoxia mentioned was probably really a liar, and the purpose of the liar deceiving Xiaoxia could only be money.

"Zhou Chen, thank you so much this time. I will tell Xiaochun and Xiaoxia about Kevin's situation. If it weren't for you, Xiaoxia would have been deceived."

"Just believe me. I've actually told Xiaoxia that it's not a bad thing to want to go out and try your luck. But if you go out alone, you're bound to run into difficulties. He's basically never been far away, and he's simple-minded, so he's the easiest to be deceived."

"You're right. Xiaochun and I are actually worried about this as well. Now that we know the other party is a liar, we will definitely not let Xiaoxia be deceived again."

Although Xie Xiaoxia is not Xie Zhiyao's biological brother, the two families are very close, and it is impossible for him to watch Xie Xiaoxia being deceived.

Xie Zhiyuan wanted to get angry when he saw that no one paid attention to him, but when he heard that it was about Xie Xiaoxia, he suppressed his anger.

After the conversation, when he saw Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou were about to leave, he shouted, "Don't leave. None of you are allowed to leave."

Xie Zhiyao showed a helpless expression towards Zhou Chen and the others, then glared at Xie Zhiyuan fiercely.

"Stop messing around, get out of the way."

"I won't let them go. If they go out and tell others about me, my reputation will be ruined. Ah, I can't let them go."

Seeing that Xie Zhiyuan refused to give in, Xie Zhiyao was so angry that he pulled out his slippers and was about to throw them at her, but Xu Hongdou stopped him.

"Hey, hey, don't hit him, don't hit him, talk to him nicely, don't use violence."

"I didn't want to fight, but this kid, ah..."

Zhou Chen smiled and said to Xie Zhiyuan: "Ayuan, we have known each other for quite some time. I even taught you how to ride a horse. Don't you even believe me?"

Xie Zhiyuan pursed his lips: "I believe you, but I don't believe her." His eyes were fixed on Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou raised her hand and said, "I can promise that I will never tell anyone."

Xie Zhiyuan hesitated for a while, then said, "I still don't believe you."

Zhou Chen said at this time: "Well, A Yuan, I promise you that Xu Hongdou will never tell anyone. If she does, come to me and I will be responsible."

Xie Zhiyuan: "If she spreads it, what's the point of me looking for you again?"

Xie Zhiyao couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up angrily, pointed at Xie Zhiyuan and shouted, "Ayuan, stop messing around. Do you hear me? If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."

Xie Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I won't give in. I can't let my reputation be ruined. I will defend my reputation to the death."

Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing. This kid was really stubborn.

So he stood up and walked to Xie Zhiyuan at the door. Xie Zhiyuan looked nervous.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Chen just stretched out a hand and pushed gently, and Xie Zhiyuan moved away uncontrollably.

Zhou Chen opened the door and said to Xie Zhiyuan, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Although this matter is a bit embarrassing and hurts one's self-esteem, a real man should not back down, but should have the courage to face difficulties and solve them. I think you should listen to your brother and go back to school."

After saying that, he walked out first. Xu Hongdou followed him and made a cheering gesture to Xie Zhiyuan before leaving.
