The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen."

Wang Yidi ran over from a distance and stood in front of Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Chen asked.

Wang Yidi is a bit like Fang Yifan, with a cheerful and active personality, but a bit of a chatterbox. This is why she is not very popular despite being very beautiful.

Wang Yidi: "It's the piano piece you played at the beginning of the school year. Can you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, before Zhou Chen could answer, Qiao Yingzi's face turned red because the situation that day was still fresh in her memory.

"Are you talking about the song dedicated to... Qiao Yingzi?"

While Zhou Chen was speaking, he looked at Qiao Yingzi with a half-smile, which made Qiao Yingzi's face become even redder.

Wang Yidi was shocked: "Zhou Chen, is the name of your piano piece really called To Qiao Yingzi?"

"Why, can't it?"

"It's not impossible, but how is it possible? That song is so beautiful, I've never heard of it before. It must have taken a long time to create it. Are you a genius and have had a crush on Yingzi for a long time, so you created this song dedicated to Qiao Yingzi? Yes, that's right, that should be the case."

The more Wang Yidi spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and her beautiful big eyes stared at Zhou Chen intently.

"Uh."

Zhou Chen didn't expect Wang Yidi to say such a thing, and was quite surprised. However, according to normal people's logical thinking, it really makes sense.

You can tell something from Qiao Yingzi's shy expression.

"Tell me, Zhou Chen, are you really secretly in love with Yingzi, so you made this song 'To Qiao Yingzi'? But you have only known Yingzi for two years. Could it be that you have been secretly in love with Yingzi since the first year of high school?"

Although Qiao Yingzi was very shy, she did not run away. Instead, she looked as if she didn't dare to look but wanted to look, and kept glancing at Zhou Chen out of the corner of her eye.

Zhou Chen glared at Wang Yidi and said unhappily, "Why are you so gossipy?"

Wang Yidi said with a smile: "I am just very curious, how could a poor student like you have a crush on a top student like Yingzi? Tell me, am I right? Also, when did you start to have a crush on Yingzi?"

Zhou Chen did not feel embarrassed or shy about having his relationship discovered, and his face quickly returned to calm.

"Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you. Yes, I do have a crush on Yingzi, and I've had a crush on Yingzi since the first year of high school. And the song "To Qiao Yingzi" was indeed written for Yingzi. How about it, are you satisfied?"

"Cough cough."

Wang Yidi suddenly coughed loudly. She was indeed very curious and wanted to ask, but she didn't expect Zhou Chen to answer so straightforwardly.

The main reason why secret love is called secret love is that it happens in secret and cannot be shown in public, so people try their best to hide it.

But Zhou Chen was different. Not only did he make his secret crush public, he also expressed his thoughts in front of the object of his secret crush. Wouldn't he feel embarrassed?

Qiao Yingzi didn’t know whether Zhou Chen was embarrassed or not, but she was extremely embarrassed at the moment.

Qiao Yingzi, who was usually very manly, had completely turned into a little woman at this moment. She secretly glanced at Zhou Chen, and could no longer sit still, so she stood up and ran away.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, I find that you are as thick-skinned as Fang Yifan." Wang Yidi said.

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're not shameless, you're pretty, but it's a pity that you have a big mouth."

"You said I'm beautiful?" Wang Yidi asked with joy on his face.

Zhou Chen held his forehead and said, "Is this the most important point of my words?"

Wang Yidi finally reacted: "Zhou Chen, you actually scolded me."

Zhou Chen didn't want to say anything anymore, he stood up and left. Sometimes Wang Yidi really had low IQ and EQ. When being with her, Zhou Chen was really afraid that his EQ would also drop.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, you haven't explained yourself clearly yet. Did you just call me a chatterbox? I'm telling you, I..."

Wang Yidi followed Zhou Chen, chattering non-stop.

"Can you stop following me?" Zhou Chen turned around and asked helplessly.

Wang Yidi: "I just want to ask clearly whether you are willing to teach me the song dedicated to Qiao Yingzi."

Zhou Chen asked: "Why do you insist on learning that piece? There are so many beautiful piano pieces in the world, why do you have to learn this one?"

"It sounds nice. I think 'To Qiao Yingzi' is really nice. I like it very much, so I want to learn it. Can you teach me? Please, Zhou Chen."

Looking at Wang Yidi pouting and acting cute, if nothing had happened before, he might have thought it was cute, but now, he really just wanted to get rid of Wang Yidi.

"I'm so sorry, I'm very busy and don't have time to teach you."

"Why don't you have time? We can study in our spare time."

"Wang Yidi, can you be a little more discerning?"

"Is it because of Qiao Yingzi that you don't want to teach me? Are you afraid that she will be jealous?"

Wang Yidi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he had hit the point: "Yes, that must be the case. I am so beautiful, you must be afraid that Yingzi will be jealous."

"You really..."

Zhou Chen was really defeated by Wang Yidi. This woman was not only gossipy but also narcissistic.

"Don't follow me if you still want to learn."

Zhou Chen suddenly stopped and threatened Wang Yidi.

Wang Yidi was overjoyed: "So you mean you are willing to teach me 'To Qiao Yingzi'?"

"Ok?"

With a light snort, Wang Yidi stopped immediately.

"Whether I teach you or not depends on my mood, but if you follow me again, I promise you will never learn anything from me." Zhou Chen threatened again.

Wang Yidi didn't act stupid this time. Instead, he smiled happily and said, "Then let's make a deal. I won't follow you, but you must teach me next time."

"It depends on my mood."

After saying that, Zhou Chen turned and left.

This time, Wang Yidi did not chase after him, but stood there with a thoughtful look on his face.

"No, I have to think of another way to make him teach me. If I learn that piece of music and play it during the art exam, it will definitely give me extra points."

A song that not many people knew but is very nice to listen to will definitely be a plus if you play it in front of the art exam teacher.

This is also the reason why Wang Yidi insisted on pestering Zhou Chen.

She, Wang Yidi, was destined to take the art examination, so she had to be adequately prepared.

"Qiao Yingzi, Zhou Chen has a crush on Qiao Yingzi, so Qiao Yingzi must be his lifeblood."

Wang Yidi finally used her not-so-low IQ and thought of an important person.

Chapter 232 Zhou Chen's plan, Yingzi's hesitation

"Zhou Chen, my uncle asked me to thank you. He said that the company you introduced has reached a cooperation agreement with him. Are you free this weekend? He wants to treat you to a meal."

After school, Ji Yangyang, who was walking with Zhou Chen, said to Zhou Chen.

"Oh, is it done? That's good. There shouldn't be anything to do this weekend."

Zhou Chen was a little surprised. Import and export trade is not something that can be done just by talking about it, especially things related to racing, many of which are controlled items.

Although he introduced Liu Zheng to the boss of his company, it was really just an introduction. If it was not profitable, I'm afraid the company boss would not easily agree.

"That's good. Let's go to my uncle's house and run a few laps this weekend."

It is rare to meet a friend of the same age who has the same hobby as Zhou Chen, and Ji Yangyang is very willing to ride a sports car with Zhou Chen.

"Ah."

Not far behind Zhou Chen and the others, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao were walking arm in arm. With a slightly blushing face, Qiao Yingzi told Huang Zhitao what happened this afternoon.

"Is this true? Isn't this too embarrassing?"

Huang Zhitao's face was filled with shock. She really couldn't imagine that kind of scene. Even she, who was listening to it, felt very embarrassed. How did Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi manage to survive at that time?

"It's embarrassing, I feel embarrassed too."

Although several hours have passed, Qiao Yingzi still feels very embarrassed when she thinks back on it now.

Huang Zhitao blinked and asked Qiao Yingzi with a smile: "But speaking of which, besides being awkward, it's also really romantic. I've had a crush on you since high school. For two years, I even composed a piano piece just for you. Wow, it's really too romantic and beautiful. I'm so envious and jealous."

"Is it romantic?" Qiao Yingzi recalled, and before she knew it, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth uncontrollably.

"Isn't that romantic?"

“It seems a bit romantic.”

"Yingzi, you must seize this opportunity. Zhou Chen is excellent in all aspects except academics. The most important thing is that he has a crush on you and even composes a song for you. Such a romantic and talented boy is really a rare creature."

Qiao Yingzi secretly glanced at Zhou Chen's back, "Is he really that good?"

Huang Zhitao: "I haven't had much contact with him, but based on my brief contact, he should be pretty good."

"How does it compare to your Ji Yangyang?"

"Okay, if you dare to laugh at me, Yingzi, I'll tickle you."

"Hey, Taozi, stop it."

…………

Time flies, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhou Chen lived a relatively monotonous life. Except for the weekends, he basically went back and forth between three points: housing, school and hotel.

On weekends, Ji Yangyang always asked him to go racing and play basketball. Fang Yifan has been much more obedient in the past two weeks. He no longer asked anyone to go out to play, but he often sent messages and talked in the group and was very active.

Half of the information in the WeChat group is from Fang Yifan.

“You said you wanted to open a factory to produce masks?”

Song Yuan put down his chopsticks, and said to Zhou Chen in surprise: "Your task now is to study hard and take the college entrance examination. You don't have to worry about making money."

Today was a rare day off for Song Yuan, so he called Zhou Chen back to have lunch together. During the meal, Zhou Chen mentioned to him that he was going to open a mask factory.

In fact, Zhou Chen had no choice. He was still a student. Although he was an adult, it was inconvenient for him to do many things. Moreover, although he was the boss of the trading company, it was basically Song Yuan who went there regularly to check the accounts and manage things, and he had never been there at all.

If you want to open a mask factory, the easiest way is to acquire one. Otherwise, starting one from scratch is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, which does not fit his plan.

"Uncle, don't worry. The college entrance examination is nothing to me. I will definitely be able to get into an ideal university when the time comes. I just think going to school every day is too boring, so I want to open a small mask factory to practice."

Song Yuan looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Exercise? How old are you? You will have plenty of time to exercise after you graduate. Now, you should study hard and enjoy your student life. Otherwise, in a few years, you won't have the chance to enjoy it."

He also graduated from school and knew very well how wonderful the carefree life in school was. Once he left the campus, he would never be able to enjoy such a wonderful life again.

For Song Yuan, Zhou Chen is his only blood relative in this world. Although they are uncle and nephew, he really treats Zhou Chen as his son. It's just that sometimes he is really busy and has no time to take care of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t his first time attending high school, so he naturally understood what he should understand.

"I'm not planning to do it myself, I just think this industry has a future. Uncle, just think of it as me wanting to practice. I promise it won't interfere with my studies."

Song Yuan frowned. As a lawyer, he was rather serious in front of outsiders. However, in front of his own nephew, he was not serious at all. On the contrary, he was very open.

As Zhou Chen's guardian, he naturally knew how much property he had. Such a family did not really need to rely on studying to change their lives.

"Xiaochen, you are already an adult. It's a good thing to have your own ideas. It's also good to exercise them."

After careful consideration, Song Yuan decided not to discourage Zhou Chen's enthusiasm. If he starts training now, it will be helpful for taking over the business in the future.

"But can you tell me why you think the mask industry has a future?"

Nowadays, there are many industries with development prospects, but only a few of the few can really make money. Although he agreed to let Zhou Chen give it a try, he still wanted to hear Zhou Chen's thoughts. Was it just a hobby or did he really want to do it?

Zhou Chen said: "To be precise, I think the field of safety and hygiene will have great development prospects in the future."

"Although there are still many families living below the poverty line in China, overall, the living standards of Chinese people are gradually improving. In the past, living to 60 or 70 years old was considered a long life, but now, many people in their 60s are still working like middle-aged people, and there are countless elderly people in their 70s and 80s."

"People can live so long now, which is related to many factors, such as medical care, hygiene, diet, health care, etc. Among them, health and safety are given special attention. In terms of health and safety, masks are definitely indispensable. Not to mention hospitals across the country, many factories and companies also require masks."

"Also, with global climate change, there are more and more influenza cases, and infectious diseases are also a big problem. Under such circumstances, the demand for masks will increase. The mask industry may not make much profit, but our company happens to be in the trade business, so it is definitely easier for us to get raw materials than others. So if we open a factory, our profits can definitely increase."

"As long as we acquire a mask factory, we can save a lot..."

Zhou Chen did not act rashly, but had already done market research long ago. If he could open up new markets with his trading company, the profits would definitely be considerable.

But before that, he must first obtain Song Yuan's consent.

It’s not that Song Yuan has the right to speak in his family’s company. What’s more important is that Song Yuan is his most important relative in this world. When doing something like this, out of respect, he must discuss it with Song Yuan.

Song Yuan listened to Zhou Chen's narration carefully, and only spoke after Zhou Chen finished speaking.
