The world of film and television begins from childhood

"You've almost finished it, and I can't give you any advice. I'd better wait until you've finished pretending, and then I'll come over and take a look."

"Okay, I don't really expect you to give me any advice. What you do as a hands-off shopkeeper is worse than Wang Ying."

Qin Chuan complained unhappily, and then said: "Now that you're here, don't leave. Let's have dinner together later, and I'll call Qiao Qiao."

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I'll make the arrangements. I've been back for two weeks and I haven't had time to get together yet. I'll call Xiaozhou and the others by the way."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, the big boss, and I'll make a call."

Qin Chuan was very positive and immediately ran to the side to make a phone call.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1257: When meeting parents, pay attention to methods when giving gifts.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days. Zhou Chen, you are getting more and more handsome. And our Miss Wang Ying, our skin has turned white after not seeing you for a few days."

After a few days, everyone was very happy to meet again, especially Xu Lin, who even teased Zhou Chen and Wang Ying.

She even winked teasingly at Wang Ying: "I've been living a shameless life with Zhou Chen these days. Just forget about us. I haven't even made a single phone call."

Even though Wang Ying was used to Xu Lin teasing her and Zhou Chen, the blunt words still made her face turn red and become angry.

"Xu Lin, don't even think about using my cosmetics again in the future."

When Xu Lin heard this, he immediately became scared: "No, miss, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Xie Qiao said: "But Wang Ying, you are not in the dormitory these days. I really feel that something is missing and I feel very uncomfortable."

Xiao Qianxi also followed up and said: "Wang Ying, what you are talking about may be really serious. When Xiaozhou and I went to the hospital to see my aunt the day before yesterday, we saw several patients hospitalized with influenza. The hospital seemed to be very nervous. Things may not be simple this time.”

He Xiaozhou also nodded repeatedly, because he always went to the hospital, and many people in the hospital were talking about this, so he knew more than others.

Qin Chuan didn't want to talk about this, so he interrupted them directly: "Alright, alright, why are you talking about this? We've finally gathered together, let's talk about something happy. Our pancake shop is being renovated and will be open soon. You must all come to support us on the opening day. There will be plenty of pancakes and milk tea."

Foodie Xu Lin was the first to respond: "No problem, I will definitely come on time. As long as food and drink are provided for free, I can do whatever I want."

Several other people also expressed that they would definitely go then, which made Qin Chuan very happy.

But at this moment, a person walked into the private room, and the smile on Qin Chuan's face disappeared instantly.

"Yang Cheng, why are you here? We didn't invite you."

Yang Cheng glanced at him coldly and snorted: "If you were to treat me, I wouldn't come."

He walked to Wang Ying and said, "Wang Ying, I heard that you don't go to school anymore?"

"Well, I haven't been there for a few days. Safety comes first."

Wang Ying replied, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Yang Cheng was invited by me, please calm down."

Qin Chuan snorted in displeasure. He was originally in a good mood, but when he saw Yang Cheng appear, his mood suddenly turned into a bad one.

Xie Qiao, who was sitting next to Qin Chuan, looked embarrassed at this time. Yang Cheng was her boyfriend, but it was Yang Cheng who was informed by Wang Ying.

Although this was a treat for Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, she still felt a little panicked.

However, Yang Cheng didn't notice her panic and came directly to sit next to her.

Xu Lin glanced around and suddenly became happy: "Speaking of which, it's been almost half a year since the last gathering for us people."

Wang Ying said: "Yes, the last time we all got together was for Qian Xi's birthday. A few months have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast."

"It's all thanks to you, Miss, this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get together. Let's toast Wang Ying and Zhou Chen first."

"Yes, respect them."

"cheers."

This is not the first time for everyone to get together. Except for Yang Cheng, who spends less time playing together, everyone else sees each other with their heads down and their relationship is very good. Naturally, the wine table cannot be dull.

As everyone talked, they talked about the flu incident again. Now everyone can see that this matter is not simple, and they all understand the idea of ​​​​Wang Ying, Zhou Chen, and Yang Cheng not even going to school.

It's just that other people are different from them. School is not suspended, and they really haven't thought about going home.

After the dinner, Zhou Chen went to find He Xiaozhou.

"Qianxi, do you mind borrowing your Xiaozhou to say a few words?"

Of course Xiao Qianxi knew what Zhou Chen wanted to say to He Xiaozhou, and replied very happily: "Of course it's no problem, you guys talk, I'll go find Wang Ying."

"What's the matter, Zhou Chen, is there something wrong?" He Xiaozhou asked doubtfully.

Zhou Chen said: "You also know that I have been an exchange student in Beiqing for only two years. After this semester, I have to go back to complete my studies. How have you considered what I told you last time?"

"What's the matter?" He Xiaozhou didn't react for a moment.

"It's about going to Stanford to study abroad. I'm currently cooperating with Stanford and I'm very familiar with the school leaders. As long as you pass the TOEFL and the Foreign Graduate Entrance Examination, I can arrange for you to study for a PhD at Stanford University. You will also be older. Third, there is no problem in staying in Beiqing to pursue graduate studies, but to be honest, at this point in time, there are more opportunities abroad than at home."

"As for the laboratory I cooperate with at Stanford University, the research direction is related to biological sciences. If you go there to study abroad, you can also do an internship in the laboratory. It is really a good opportunity."

He Xiaozhou was very moved after hearing Zhou Chen's words. Before he even said he was going, Zhou Chen had already arranged a way for him. If he really does what Zhou Chen said, his future resume after graduation will definitely be very good.

"Zhou Chen, I know you are doing it for my own good, but..."

"I know what you want to say, but we are childhood friends, classmates, and even brothers. We should help each other. I also know your abilities. If you succeed in your studies in the future, maybe I will rely on you to help me make money. , so we are doing this for mutual benefit, so don’t feel pressured.”

He Xiaozhou smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to say this. Of course I understand who you are. I don't trust others. How could I not trust you? What I want to say is that I didn't consider studying abroad, mainly because of my mother. Mom’s health is very bad, so she can’t live without people around her.”

Thinking of He Xiaozhou's mother's body, Zhou Chen also fell silent, because he knew that He Xiaozhou's mother would probably die soon.

"I've heard a little bit about my aunt's situation. I also know a lot of cancer experts abroad. In this way, when you go back, sort out your aunt's medical records and bring them to me, and I'll find foreign experts to help you ask. There’s no good treatment.”

After hearing this, He Xiaozhou said excitedly: "Really? Zhou Chen, do you really know foreign oncologists?"

Zhou Chen said easily: "I am also a capitalist abroad. It is very simple to meet a few good doctors. You go back and sort it out. When you have sorted it out, call me and I will come and get it for you."

"Thank you, Zhou Chen. Thank you very much." He Xiaozhou grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and was extremely grateful.

Zhou Chen patted him: "We don't need to talk about this between us. I think you should discuss it with your uncle and aunt about studying abroad. After all, you can't make such a big decision alone."

He Xiaozhou was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said, "I will think about it carefully."

Of course he wanted to go, but he had too many things to think about.

"That's it, you and Qianxi go back first, I'll wait for your call."

After chatting, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying said goodbye to He Xiaozhou and the others, and then went back home.

On the way back, Wang Ying asked, "What did He Xiaozhou say?"

"It can be seen that he really wants to go, but his mother's illness makes him uneasy, so he hesitates."

"He Xiaozhou is indeed a filial son and a very good person. Like Qian Xi, it is not easy for him. His studying abroad is not difficult for you, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled confidently and said: "It's not difficult. Not only him. If you go to study abroad in the future, you can only go there with me."

Wang Ying said: "How do you know that I will definitely go to study abroad? Even if I go to study abroad, my parents will most likely arrange for me to go to the UK instead of the United States."

"That's absolutely impossible. I can't let you stay so far away from me. I won't worry if you're not with me. You go back and discuss it with your parents. You should go to Stanford. If that doesn't work, I'll go talk to my uncle and aunt. Anyway, It’s impossible for me to be separated from you.”

"Then you are really overbearing. I didn't tell you in advance. Since you can get He Xiaozhou over, can you help Qianxi in the future?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, it's a help. It doesn't matter if I help one or both. If they feel bad about it then, just let them work for me for a while."

Wang Ying rolled her eyes: "Look at your current capitalist style. Before I leave, you are thinking of squeezing others."

"How can I call this exploitation? If you work with me, I can still treat them badly."

"That's true."

It was early April, and Zhou Chen and Wang Ying still stayed at home most of the time.

On the weekend, Wang Ying was reading a book when she suddenly received a call from home, and then found Zhou Chen who was playing games next to her.

"Zhou Chen, my mother just called me and told us to go home for dinner tomorrow night."

"We, including me?" Zhou Chen pointed at himself.

Wang Ying nodded and said: "Well, my dad is free tonight. My mom said it was my dad who specially asked us to go back. I think my dad mainly wants to see you. After all, my mom and my uncle have met you. My dad has never met you."

Zhou Chen stood up: "Hey, I'm going to meet my father-in-law. It seems I really need to be well prepared."

"My father-in-law, you can't talk nonsense when you come to my house."

After saying that, she realized something was wrong: "Hey, you agreed so simply? Are you not nervous at all when you go to my house to meet my parents?"

Zhou Chen said confidently: "What's there to be nervous about? Sooner or later, I have to meet my parents-in-law. It doesn't matter whether I meet my parents-in-law sooner or later. If I don't even have the courage to do so, how can I possibly catch you, Miss Yingying?" How can I spend the rest of my life with you? Don’t worry, it’s just to meet your dad, there’s absolutely no problem.”

Seeing Zhou Chen's confident and proud look, Wang Ying, who was still a little nervous, was amused by Zhou Chen.

"You can talk nonsense all you want, but you have to prepare yourself and try to make my dad have a better impression of you. In the end, my dad still has to agree to our relationship."

Zhou Chen asked, "It's my first time visiting someone, so I must bring something. Yingying, is there anything your parents like? What should I bring?"

"this?"

This question stumped Wang Ying. People in their family did often give gifts, but the problem was that Zhou Chen was different from those people. Today she was visiting as her boyfriend, so she really had no experience in what she wanted to give.

As soon as Zhou Chen saw it, he knew that Wang Ying was a novice in this field, so he asked in a different way.

"You always know what your parents like, right?"

"My dad usually..."

…………

In the evening, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying got into the car. Zhou Chen did not drive there today, but the Wang family sent a driver to pick them up.

When the Audi arrived at Wang Ying's villa community, Zhou Chen could clearly feel Wang Ying's body tensing up and her appearance becoming nervous.

Zhou Chen comforted him in a low voice: "Why do you look more nervous than me?"

Wang Ying said angrily: "How can I not be nervous? This is the first time you have come to our house to meet my parents. Do you think everyone is like you, heartless and not afraid at all? "

"I don't mean to be heartless. I want to impress your parents with my sincerity and confidence. I wasn't nervous at all, but your behavior made me a little nervous."

When Wang Ying heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Really? Well, I won't be nervous anymore, and you must not be nervous either."

After all, of course she still hoped that Zhou Chen would not be nervous and look his best when meeting his parents.

Zhou Chen patted her hand and said softly: "Don't worry."

The car stopped at the door of Wang Ying's villa. The two got out of the car one after another. Zhou Chen brought the gifts and walked into the villa with Wang Ying.

In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, Zhou Chen met Wang Ying's parents. He had met Wang Ying's mother before, but it was the first time for Wang Ying's father.

Wang Ying took the initiative and said: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Then he pointed at Zhou Chen and introduced to his father: "Dad, he is Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen immediately took the initiative to step forward and called: "Uncle, auntie."

Wang Ying's father looks to be in his forties or close to fifty, and Wang Ying is somewhat similar to him. However, Wang Ying's father looks serious, with the majesty of a veteran cadre.

Wang Ying's mother said with a smile: "Zhou Chen is here, come and sit down."

"Thank you auntie."

However, Zhou Chen did not sit down directly, but first put the gift in his hand on the table.

Wang Ying's father spoke for the first time: "I'm here as soon as I come. If you have anything else with you, bring it with you when you leave."

Wang Ying quickly explained: "Dad, this is Zhou Chen's wish. You can't come empty-handed. Mom, do you think so?"

Wang Ying's mother still didn't understand what her daughter meant, so she glared at her gently.

"Zhou Chen, your uncle is either targeting you, or our family doesn't like this."

Zhou Chen had never seen anything before, so how could he be frightened by such a meeting.

"Uncle, auntie, you misunderstood, this is nothing else. I heard Yingying say that uncle likes calligraphy, and I happened to have learned calligraphy, so I wrote a few words specially and brought it here to ask uncle for advice. It doesn’t mean anything else.”

"Oh?"

Wang Ying's father, who had a serious face, finally showed another expression and looked at Zhou Chen quite unexpectedly.

"Have you ever practiced calligraphy?"

"Yes, uncle, when we were abroad, my grandfather said that domestic calligraphy is profound and profound. Even if we are abroad, we cannot forget the essence of our ancestors. So in order to train me, he specially found a calligraphy teacher for me."

Wang Ying's father nodded and showed a satisfied expression: "Your grandfather is right. Even if you are outside, you can't forget your ancestors, let alone the essence of the motherland."

Zhou Chen took advantage of the situation and said: "I have practiced calligraphy for several years, and I think I am pretty good at it. The year before last, I asked a calligrapher to comment, but the master said that my calligraphy was too sharp and murderous. I have never been too good at it. I understand, I just thought it was because I was young and energetic, so I heard Yingying say that my uncle is very accomplished in calligraphy, so I specially wrote a calligraphy and wanted to ask my uncle to comment and see if I have made any progress in the past two years."

"Too sharp, too murderous? That's interesting."
