The world of film and television begins from childhood

Peng Mingjie looked at her and said calmly, "I heard from Lili that we were able to buy the tickets this time thanks to your help. Thank you very much."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. You are Uncle Ma's friend, and Uncle Ma is my elder. Buying a ticket is just a small matter."

Peng Mingjie had a complicated expression. He and his daughter had been dependent on each other for many years and he knew his daughter best. He could see that his daughter's attitude towards Zhou Chen was different. She had been talking about Zhou Chen all the way to the station, so he felt very complicated.

Although he had known that this day would come for his daughter sooner or later, he still felt very uncomfortable when he found out something fishy was going on. This was the daughter he had raised.

From what Ma Kui and his daughter said, he could also tell that Zhou Chen was a very good and promising young man.

But no matter how good and promising she is, in his eyes, she is not as good as his own daughter. His own daughter is a college student, well-behaved, intelligent, quiet and elegant...

There are so many advantages that it is hard to count them all.

The most important thing is that his daughter is still young, less than 20 years old, and he really doesn't want her to find a partner so soon.

With mixed feelings, Peng Mingjie and his daughter boarded the train and came to the sleeper car. Zhou Chen bought them bunk beds, which was relatively convenient.

Soon after the train started, Peng Yongli said to Peng Mingjie, "Dad, I'm going to the dining car at the back to do my homework."

Peng Mingjie frowned slightly: "There is a table here, just write here."

Peng Yongli said coquettishly, "Dad, it's too noisy here, and there are so many people coming and going that I can't calm down. There are fewer people over there in the dining car, so it's quieter."

"Humph."

Peng Mingjie snorted twice and said, "I think it's not just quiet over there, but more importantly, there must be someone there, right?"

Peng Yongli's face immediately turned red: "Dad, what are you thinking about? I just want to find a quiet place to do my homework."

"Okay, okay, I get it, go ahead, go ahead."

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he loved his daughter after all, so Peng Mingjie did not stop her.

He was also an experienced person. Looking at his daughter's expression, he knew that she had developed different feelings for Zhou Chen.

However, he had made a decision in his heart that next time he came to Ningyang, he would find Ma Kui and inquire about this Zhou Chen. If this Zhou Chen was really good, he would consider it. After all, it was definitely better to find someone you knew well than someone you didn't know.

When Peng Yongli arrived at the dining car, Zhou Chen was talking to Lu Hongxing, and they were talking about Cai Xiaonian's marriage.

Cai Xiaonian followed everyone's advice and went to Tang Yanhong's house again to discuss the matter. However, after being scolded by his mother-in-law, he ran back in shame.

"This Xiaonian, even though he was very talkative in the car, he was completely useless when he met his future mother-in-law. He was completely controlled by her."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Good things take time. It's better to let them get used to each other now than to have a quarrel after they get married."

Lu Hongxing was surprised: "Oh, you don't even have a partner, but you can still say such sensible things."

“Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run.”

"My words are a little blunt, but the truth is true. This kid, ah, it was not easy for his parents to find a wife for him. Fortunately, I think his partner is not bad, someone who can make a living. As long as he meets her requirements, he can get married this year, and then our compound will be lively again."

Cai Xiaonian is Lu Hongxing's apprentice. In this day and age, the relationship between master and apprentice is still very important, so he is also very concerned about Cai Xiaonian's marriage.

"Zhou Chen, you are about the same age as Xiaonian, and he is about to get married, don't you feel any sense of urgency?"

"To be honest, no."

"Hey, you kid..."

As they were talking, a girl came in holding a book. When she saw Zhou Chen in the dining car, her eyes lit up and she called out softly, "Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen and Lu Hongxing both turned their heads and saw that it was Peng Yongli. Zhou Chen stood up immediately.

"Lili, why are you here? It's not time for dinner yet."

Peng Yongli smiled and said, "I'm not here to eat. I just got on the train and I'm not sleepy anymore, so I wanted to do my homework. But the carriage was too noisy, so I thought about whether I could come to the dining car."

"No problem at all."

Zhou Chen gave an affirmative answer, then took Peng Yongli to the empty dining table behind Lu Hongxing.

"That's it. Just write here. Tell me if you need anything."

Peng Yongli put the book on the table: "I don't need anything. I won't disturb you here, right?" She looked around and saw that they were all staff members on the bus.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on her, full of curiosity. Zhou Chen had been in this car for more than four years, and they had never seen Zhou Chen be so close to any girl, even bringing people to the dining car.

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, I won't bother you."

Although Lu Hongxing didn't know what was going on, she still gave him face and said enthusiastically, "Yes, I won't disturb you, little girl. You can sit down as long as you want."

"Yes, yes, yes." Several other staff members also nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you."

Peng Yongli's face turned slightly red. She could see that everyone was looking at her strangely. She understood why this happened, but she still pretended to be calm and sat down.

Lu Hongxing winked at Zhou Chen and whispered, "What's going on?"

Zhou Chen whispered: "A friend."

"Friends? Haha."

Lu Hongxing gave Zhou Chen a look that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" How could they be just friends when they came in front of so many people?

Zhou Chen ignored him, sat down opposite Peng Yongli, ignored the gazes of the crowd who were watching the fun, and talked to Peng Yongli.

Although everyone was very curious about the relationship between Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli, they were all very conscious and did not disturb them. At most, they just looked at them more.

In the studio, Yao Yuling stood up and stretched, picked up the water cup next to her, walked out of the studio, and prepared to go to the dining car to get a glass of water.

But when she walked into the dining car humming a song and greeted her colleagues with a smile, she was suddenly stunned when she glanced around.

At one of the dining tables, Zhou Chen was sitting side by side with a young girl. Zhou Chen was holding a pen, writing and drawing on paper, and whispering something. The girl was listening very carefully, nodding from time to time, looking very intimate.

This scene made her stunned. She had known Zhou Chen for several years and she had even had feelings for him at first, but before she could express it, she was rejected by Zhou Chen politely.

Although she was very dissatisfied, she did not pursue the issue any further. Over the years, she had never seen Zhou Chen get close to any girl. He even refused to go see the girl that the neighbors introduced to him. This made her privately wonder if there was something wrong with Zhou Chen.

Suddenly seeing Zhou Chen so close to a young girl, she really couldn't adapt for a moment.

She saw Cai Xiaonian sitting nearby, also looking at Zhou Chen, so she quietly sat over.

"Cai Xiaonian, what's going on?" She asked, pointing at Zhou Chen.

Cai Xiaonian whispered, "I don't know what's going on. I saw this when I came in. My master said that this girl seemed to have come to find Zhou Chen on purpose. There must be something fishy going on."

There was a strong flash of gossip in his eyes. If the girl was not there, he would definitely go to Zhou Chen to inquire about the situation first.

Suddenly, under their gaze, the girl gave Zhou Chen a bright smile, and then handed another book to Zhou Chen. The two of them began to communicate in a low voice, talking and laughing from time to time. Their postures were very close, and it didn't seem like they were just simple friends.

Seeing this scene, Yao Yuling felt very unhappy. Zhou Chen had always been indifferent to her, but now he was so close to another girl, which made her very unwilling.

'This woman doesn't look that good.'

The more she looked, the more unbalanced she felt. She asked Cai Xiaonian beside her unhappily, "Cai Xiaonian, let me ask you, who is prettier, me or that girl?"

"what?"

Cai Xiaonian, who was watching the fun and gossiping, was stunned when he heard Yao Yuling's strange question.

"What? I'm asking you, who's prettier, me or that girl?"

Cai Xiaonian scratched his head after hearing Yao Yuling's dissatisfaction. He was about to have a family, so it was not good for him to comment on this, right? I am not that superficial.

"If we just talk about looks, you should be prettier."

Yao Yuling immediately showed a look of satisfaction, it seemed that her beauty was recognized.

"However, she is a few years younger than you, and I just heard from my master that this girl seems to be a college student."

Yao Yuling's face darkened immediately. What women hate most is the disadvantage of age. Also, this woman is a college student? If that's true, then her technical secondary school degree is really not as good as hers. This makes her, who has always been strong, even more unhappy.

Cai Xiaonian didn't notice Yao Yuling's expression. He held his chin and said quietly, "No wonder Zhou Chen didn't want to find a partner before. It turns out he is so wild that he actually wants to find a college student as his partner. Wow, he is a role model for our generation. I admire him so much."

Chapter 1370: Old Father's Vigilance, Lili's First Visit

Yao Yuling was very angry, but her anger was not only because Zhou Chen was taken away by someone, but also because she was dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude.

When she took the initiative to show her affection, Zhou Chen was lukewarm towards her and almost rejected her outright.

But now, Zhou Chen has found a girl who is not as pretty and attractive as her. Except for her education, how else is she better than this girl? Is it just because she is a college student?

'shallow.'

She cursed angrily in her heart. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her, but only felt that Zhou Chen had a problem with his vision. Well, he was also vain.

Yao Yuling was so unhappy that she even forgot the purpose of her visit. She twisted her body and walked out of the dining car, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Cai Xiaonian looked at her leaving back and said softly, "It has to be Zhou Chen. When it comes to women, Wang Xin and Niu Dali are far behind me."

Ever since Wang Xin and Ma Kui became criminal police, he has had the most contact with Zhou Chen. They eat and sleep in the same car when they are at work, and live in the same compound when they are off work, so he knows Zhou Chen quite well.

Although it was the first time he met Peng Yongli, he could see that Zhou Chen's attitude towards this girl was obviously different from that towards other girls. He really put his heart into it. And it could also be seen that the girl's attitude towards Zhou Chen was very friendly, which meant that they definitely had a chance.

He really admired Zhou Chen. This girl was a college student, probably less than 20 years old, and was very beautiful. Zhou Chen could actually win her over. He had to admire her.

Zhou Chen didn't care about other people's eyes at all. He was explaining a problem to Peng Yongli at this moment. He had never been to college in this world, but his accumulated knowledge was not comparable to that of a college student. Not to mention teaching Peng Yongli, a freshman, he would have no pressure teaching even a graduate student or doctoral student.

It was during this short period of time that Peng Yongli admired Zhou Chen even more. She asked many questions, but Zhou Chen was able to answer them every time. He was truly amazing.

Peng Yongli stayed in the dining car until after dinner before leaving. During this time, Yu Xingguo, with Qin Yan and You Yuejin, was very attentive and did not disturb Zhou Chen at all, taking care of all the work.

As soon as Peng Yongli left, colleagues in the car surrounded Zhou Chen and began to inquire about the situation.

"Zhou Chen, who was that girl just now?"

"friend."

"Oh my god, it's like that, and we're still friends?"

"Of course, he even found a female college student. This is a great honor for our dean."

"Well-matched, I think you two are really well-matched."

"........."

Zhou Chen responded to the gossiping crowd with a smile. Peng Yongli's sudden arrival made him the topic of everyone's conversation and he was pulled aside for questioning.

After dealing with these gossipers, Zhou Chen went back to work.

On today's trains, there are basically few major incidents, but many minor ones. Most of these issues can be resolved by the train attendants, and those that are difficult to resolve will be asked for the train police. Relatively speaking, the train police's job is simpler than that of the train attendants.

During the rest of the journey, Peng Yongli came to see Zhou Chen twice more and had dinner with Zhou Chen, but it was not just the two of them, Peng Mingjie was also there.

Zhou Chen naturally saw the vigilance and warning in Peng Mingjie's eyes, but he pretended not to see it. He had been a father more than once, so he naturally understood what Peng Mingjie was thinking now. The best way was to pretend not to understand and just ignore it.

Occasionally, Peng Mingjie's tone was not very good, and Zhou Chen pretended not to understand. Peng Mingjie was very depressed when he saw that Zhou Chen was not listening, but when he saw that his daughter was so nice to Zhou Chen, he could only sigh.

There is no way for women to stay in college.

After arriving in Harbin, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Peng Yongli and others.

"When you are about to start school, call me and I will buy you a ticket."

Peng Yongli smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll call you then and take your bus again."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Chen, Peng Yongli happily went home with her father. Seeing her so happy, Peng Mingjie felt very uncomfortable.

"Lili, what's so good about that boy? You are a college student."

Peng Yongli didn't care: "What's wrong with being a college student? Zhou Chen didn't go to college because he didn't take the college entrance examination. He is much more knowledgeable than me, and he is also better than the male students in our school."

This was not her deliberate promotion of Zhou Chen, but her real feeling. Zhou Chen, both in appearance and in character, very much met her expectations of her other half.

Compared with Zhou Chen's maturity and stability, the male classmates in the school are far behind. The most important thing is that Zhou Chen treated her very well during the several contacts and was very tactful in his actions.

So, she really wants to date Zhou Chen now, but she is a girl, so even if she has this intention, she is embarrassed to bring it up first. She is waiting for Zhou Chen.

The beginning of the university's winter vacation means the Spring Festival is approaching. During this period, the Railway Bureau will become busy again, and Zhou Chen and his colleagues are also busier than usual.

It was very unfortunate this year. On New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year, Zhou Chen and his colleagues had to go out on a road trip, so they couldn’t celebrate the New Year at home.

On the 28th day of the lunar year, Cai Xiaonian specially invited Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Niu Dali to get together.

The place for the dinner was chosen to be Zhou Chen's home. Cai Xiaonian provided the food and wine. Wang Xin and Niu Dali also brought some New Year's goods, such as melon seeds, peanuts, bacon and so on.

Cai Xiaonian poured wine for Zhou Chen and the other two, raised his glass, and said first: "We will be out on the road tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so we will gather here in advance today. I wish you all a happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

The four of them clinked their glasses and then drank them all in one gulp.

Cai Xiaonian raised his glass again: "Secondly, you all know my story. Yanhong and I are going to get married after the Spring Festival, so we will need your help. There are four cars for the wedding, and we can each take one. Is that okay?"
