The world of film and television begins from childhood

As soon as these words were spoken, almost one-third of the class looked at Pan Zhenxing who was standing in front of the podium. The rest of the people looked confused and asked what was going on. Then someone whispered what was going on.

Pan Zhenxing, the person involved, had a bewildered look on his face because he had classes today and had no time to read the newspaper. He was busy preparing for class and had no idea what his students meant.

"What article?"

A student sitting in the front row took out a copy of Harbin Daily, and on the folded side was the article reporting on "The Farmer and the Snake".

Pan Zhenxing didn't care about the class at this time. He hurriedly took the newspaper from the student and saw the big, bold black letters of the title at a glance.

"A modern version of 'The Farmer and the Snake', a true story that happened on a train."

When Pan Zhenxing saw the title, he suddenly felt uneasy and quickly read the content.

The students below were also passing around and talking about the contents of the newspaper. After everyone figured out what was going on, many students looked at Pan Zhenxing on the podium with strange eyes.

No matter what era it is, university teachers are respected intellectuals, and students also respect teachers very much.

However, this article in the newspaper made them all have a huge opinion of Teacher Pan Zhenxing. If what the newspaper said was true, then there would be a big problem.

Because many people remembered an article published by Pan Zhenxing in the newspaper not long ago, which described the violations such as violent law enforcement and torture during the arrests by the Ningha Line police.

Before, they didn't know the details and of course believed their teacher. But now the article published in the newspaper described the situation on that day in detail. Putting aside whether the train conductor did what Pan Zhenxing said, the fact that the train conductor helped Pan Zhenxing find his wallet, but Pan Zhenxing turned around and wrote an article in the newspaper to satirize and discredit the train conductor, really had some of the meaning of "The Farmer and the Snake".

Pan Zhenxing read from beginning to end. At the end, his hands holding the newspaper began to tremble and his expression became extremely ugly.

"Nonsense, nonsense, slander, this is slander..."

Pan Zhenxing angrily slammed the newspaper on the desk. He felt a surge of rage in his body. His body swayed and he almost fell. Fortunately, he held onto the desk.

"Teacher Pan, are you okay?" a student asked with concern.

Pan Zhenxing raised his head and looked at the students below. Suddenly, he found that many students were staring at him with strange eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was stripped naked and seen from head to toe.

So he could no longer stand there and said, "You can study on your own during this class," and then quickly left the classroom, forgetting to take his teaching materials and only taking the newspaper.

He just returned to the office, sat at his seat, and looked at the article in the newspaper again. The more he read, the uglier his expression became.

After the incident happened, he was angry about what happened in the car, so he published such an article afterwards.

After the article was published, the Ningyang City police team contacted him, hoping that he could clarify the matter in the newspaper, but he did not take it seriously at all. He was a university teacher and a scholar, and he did what he was supposed to do. How could he be forced to do something he did not want to do?

Scholars must have backbone!

He thought the matter was over, but he never expected that the Ningyang flight attendant would use the same method to fight back against him, and the article was even more offensive than the one he originally published.

In "The Farmer and the Snake", the conductor he exposed turned into a farmer, and he turned into a snake. This means that he repays kindness with enmity and is cruel and vicious. Using such a story to describe a university teacher like him is simply a huge insult.

"We can't just let it go like this."

At this moment, anger burst through his mind. He absolutely could not tolerate such a thing, especially when he thought about the way his students looked at him just now, which made him tremble with anger. When had he ever been insulted like this? He had to teach those people a lesson.

So he immediately began to think about how to fight back. Naturally, he thought of the practices of people of his own culture, and prepared to use his own culture to fight back against the other party.

But before he could think further, someone from the school's Academic Affairs Office came to find him.

"Mr. Pan, right? Please come with us."

When Pan Zhenxing saw the people from the Academic Affairs Office, he was shocked, but he immediately knew the reason, so he stood up silently and left with the people from the Academic Affairs Office.

In just one day, the news reported by Pan Zhenxing spread throughout Harbin University. Newspapers were the largest media these days, and most people learned about current affairs through newspapers, especially in places like universities, not to mention that it involved their own university professors.

So Pan Zhenxing quickly became a celebrity at Harbin University. He might have been famous before, but after experiencing this incident, his popularity directly increased by more than one level.

It is just like the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

A few days later, Captain Hu called Zhou Chen and Ma Kui over and handed them the new issue of the newspaper with a smile on his face.

"have a look."

Zhou Chen and Ma Kui took the newspaper and saw the apology letter in the newspaper, which was signed by Pan Zhenxing.

Captain Hu smiled proudly and said, "The problem has been solved. I have to say, Zhou Chen, you are really good. That article is well written. Not long after it was published in the newspaper, the leader of Harbin University called us and discussed with us how to solve this problem as soon as possible. We hope to resolve it privately and peacefully."

"But how could I agree to them? It was the teacher of their school who started the incident. Now the impact has expanded and brought negative effects, so they want to solve it privately. It's a nice thought. So what if it's a university? Will our Railway Bureau be afraid of them? I responded very strongly. Pan Zhenxing must apologize in the newspaper, otherwise I will never compromise."

"They didn't want to agree at first, but as the news spread, the leaders above said that we must save the face of our railway bureau and make him apologize in the newspaper. In the end, you see, he apologized in the same newspaper as he did in the beginning. I think that guy must be feeling bad. After this incident, his future life will definitely be difficult."

"Hahaha, so happy."

Ma Kui pursed his lips and said nothing. He remembered that Captain Hu's expression was not like this at the beginning, but he was tactful enough not to expose it.

Zhou Chen cooperated very well and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Captain Hu, you are awesome. It's rare to see you being so tough."

Captain Hu looked embarrassed and glared at Zhou Chen unhappily: "You are just trying to piss me off. Although your method this time is good, I still want to say that in the future, when encountering such a situation, we should still seek peace. It seems that we won this time, but in fact, we didn't get any good results."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "At least the breathing is smooth. Sometimes, people live just for that breath."

"Haha, you are young, but you are very eloquent."

Ma Kui asked, "Captain Hu, since this matter has been resolved, what about Wang Xin's suspension?"

"This matter has already been decided. This lesson should have made him feel something. I hope he can remember this lesson in the future."

Captain Hu expressed his decision: "Let him return to the team tomorrow. Since he has returned, I will transfer your Xiao Hu to another group."

Zhou Chen shouted, "No, Captain Hu, Xiao Hu is learning well from Uncle Ma, let him continue to be in the same group with us."

Captain Hu rolled his eyes and said, "You're just daydreaming. If I assign you a new member, the other teams will come to make trouble. Forget it. Get out, get out, get out now."

When Wang Xin learned that his suspension had ended and he would be able to return to the team tomorrow, he shouted excitedly in the courtyard, and was so excited that he wanted to tell everyone.

Everyone was happy that Wang Xin was able to resume his job. They were all neighbors living in the same courtyard. If his neighbor became capable, maybe he would come to them for help in the future.

If we were to ask who would be the most unhappy person about Wang Xin's reinstatement, it would definitely be Yao Yuling.

It’s not that she didn’t want to see Wang Xin having a bad life. She wasn’t that bad. She was just unhappy because she broke up with Wang Xin. If Wang Xin could have resumed his original position earlier, they might not have broken up. This was what made her most uncomfortable.

No matter what others thought, Wang Xin was happy again the next day and went to work in his police uniform.

Captain Hu specially convened a meeting today, during which the issue of advertising in the newspaper was specifically mentioned. Wang Xin was criticized by Captain Hu, and Zhou Chen was also criticized by Captain Hu.

Zhou Chen and Wang Xin naturally accepted the criticism with their heads down.

Because this matter was resolved, Wang Xin naturally did not have to be transferred from Ningyang Station as in the original plot. He was just criticized a few words and then returned to work as usual.

Wang Xin, who had not been to work for more than half a month, was full of energy and active after getting back on the bus. He patrolled everywhere and rushed to do work, wishing to do all the work he had not done before.

On the dining car, Zhou Chen and Wang Xin were sitting together eating. Suddenly, Yao Yuling came over with a lunch box and sat down next to Wang Xin.

"Wang Xin."

The delicate tone made Zhou Chen and Wang Xin shudder. Zhou Chen picked up the lunch box without saying a word.

"I'm done eating. I'm going to go on patrol first. Wang Xin, Yao Yuling, you guys take your time eating."

"Hey, Zhou Chen, don't leave."

Seeing Zhou Chen running away, Wang Xin became anxious. Just as he was about to follow him, he was stopped by Yao Yuling.

"Wang Xin, are you still angry with me..."

"I, no, no..."

…………

Wang Xin found Zhou Chen in the carriage and complained in dissatisfaction: "You are too disloyal to just leave like that."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "You are reminiscing about the past with your ex-girlfriend, it would be inappropriate for me, an outsider, to be there."

"What old love? Don't talk nonsense. I have broken up with her, and there is no way we can rekindle our old love. I have seen through her. She is fine as a friend, but as a girlfriend or a husband, if something happens to me one day, I am afraid I won't even be able to see her."

Wang Xin looked like he had let it go. He was attracted to Yao Yuling more because of her appearance. It was not like he had any deep feelings for her.

But as soon as he got into trouble, Yao Yuling dumped him, which was something he could never forgive. The two could continue to get along as friends and neighbors, but there was nothing more.

Zhou Chen said: "It's good to think it through. Compared with Yao Yuling, I think Ma Yan is more suitable for you."

"Oh my god, don't talk nonsense. If Lao Ma hears me, he will really beat me to death."

Wang Xin was shocked. At this time, he might have a good impression of Ma Yan, but there was not much love between men and women, let alone the extent of wanting to be in a relationship or be together.

"You've told me so much, but why don't you have a partner? You're two years older than me, and you didn't even look at the ones Aunt Cai and the others introduced to you. Is there something wrong with you?"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Chen slapped Wang Xin on the head. Wang Xin screamed and covered the back of his head.

"You want to beat me to death? You're not going to hold back. Did I hit you where it hurts?"

"You're still young, you don't understand. A man can have better choices only if he has a career. The more successful his career is, the easier it is for women to get close to him. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand. Dating has to do with your career. Aren't you tired?"

Wang Xin had a look of contempt on his face. After all, he was still a young man under 20 years old. He was too naive in this regard and didn't understand the twists and turns involved. He just felt that the relationship between men and women should not be related to career.

Zhou Chen sneered and said, "I don't know if I'm tired or not, I just know that someone's career is at a low point, which caused his partner to leave."

Wang Xin jumped up in anger: "Fuck, Zhou Chen, you are talking about something irrelevant, right? Do you think it's fun to mock me? Be a decent person."

Chapter 1363 Another Two Years

The Spring Festival of 1980 was the third Spring Festival that Zhou Chen celebrated since he came to this era.

The winter in Northeast China is still very cold, but the cold in the north is different from that in the south.

The air in the north has less water content and lower humidity, while the air in the south has more water content and higher humidity. Therefore, the cold in the north is dry cold, while the cold in the south is wet cold. At the same temperature, wet cold will make people feel colder than dry cold.

To describe it with a joke from decades later, the cold in the north is a physical attack, while the cold in the south is a magical attack, and magical attacks are often more deadly than physical attacks.

However, for someone with a physical condition like Zhou Chen, whether it's cold in the north or the south, as long as he wears normal clothes, it's no problem for him.

It happened that it was their turn to have a rest during the Chinese New Year this year. Zhou Chen still spent the New Year alone, but he bought everything necessary for the New Year.

Loneliness is loneliness, but the necessary atmosphere and rituals are still necessary.

Ma Kui and Wang Xin also invited Zhou Chen to dinner, but Zhou Chen refused. As he said before, he still wanted to spend the New Year in his own home, even if it would be a little lonely.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, families in the compound began to visit each other to wish each other a happy new year. Zhou Chen followed the crowd and went to visit several of his closest families, and finally went to the Ma family.

"Zhou Chen is here, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, come in quickly, come in quickly, Yan'er, go get some melon seeds and peanut candy."

When Wang Sufang saw Zhou Chen coming to pay New Year's greetings, she was very happy and loudly asked Ma Yan to get something. Then Ma Kui also came over.

"Zhou Chen, Happy New Year. Today is the first day of the new year. If you don't come to eat on New Year's Eve, you must stay and have a drink with me at noon today."

Zhou Chen smiled and responded, "Happy New Year, Uncle Ma. You don't have to tell me. I chose to come here last just to have something good to eat at noon and have someone to drink with me. Hahaha."

"Ha ha……"

Ma Kui also laughed and hurriedly asked Zhou Chen to sit down. Ma Yan also came over with peanuts and melon seeds.

"Happy New Year, have some peanuts and sunflower seeds."

"Thank you, and Happy New Year to you too."

Zhou Chen accompanied Ma Kui in talking, but as time went by, he found that Ma Kui seemed distracted. Not only him, but Ma Yan also walked to the door and looked in from time to time.

He immediately understood that Ma Kui was waiting for his apprentice Wang Xin to come and pay New Year's greetings, but it was almost noon and there was still no sign of Wang Xin, so Ma Kui could no longer sit still.

"Uncle Ma, are you waiting for Wang Xin?"

Ma Kui's face changed slightly, but he still defended himself, "Why am I waiting for him? I'm not waiting for him. Sufang, cook. Make a few more dishes today. I want to have a good drink with Xiao Zhou."

"Okay, you guys sit down first, it will be ready soon."

Ma Jian has learned to walk, but he is not even two years old, so he walks unsteadily. He is dressed in round clothes, like a little penguin, and is very cute.

"Come on, Ma Jian, come to daddy."

Although Ma Jian was not Ma Kui's biological son, he was extremely happy to have such a son at the age of 40, even though he was not his biological son.

Ma Jian slowly walked in front of Ma Kui, who laughed and picked him up, placing him on his lap.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard from your aunt that someone has introduced you to a date again, why don't you take a look at them?"

"No, Uncle Ma, when did you start to care about this kind of thing?"

Zhou Chen showed a wry smile. Sometimes, it was not always a good thing when neighbors were too enthusiastic. For example, he had been introducing people to other girls non-stop in the past two years. Not only did people from his own compound want to introduce him to other girls, but people from other compounds had also approached him.

He also knew the reason. It was simply that many people felt that since he had become a train captain at such a young age, he must have a bright future and was a high-quality stock, so they vied to help him find a partner.

Introducing a partner these days is different from what it would have been decades ago. If it works out, the person who makes the introduction can get a lot of benefits, not only free food and drinks, but also red envelopes and a lot of stuff. If you meet a generous person, you can get a lot of money. This is one of the main reasons why many women like to do this.

Now, even Ma Kui, who usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, has brought up this matter.
