The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. I scolded her today, and I guess it will be difficult to deal with her in the future."

Nan Li said very straightforwardly: "Let's forget about the difficulties. I didn't want to have too much involvement with them in the first place, but my dad insisted on bringing us together."

Zhou Chen nodded. He really didn't want to get along with Tian Yulan anymore, but it was a pity for Yan Peng. No matter what, Yan Peng was still a good person. But now that the two families were in such a mess, even if they met in private, it would probably be a bit awkward.

The two of them put Tian Yulan's matter behind them, washed up, and went to their room to sleep.

Nan Li has been very busy with work lately, so much so that she has even less time for evening activities. Zhou Chen can only focus on writing with the extra energy he has...

The next day was Saturday. Nan Li went for a walk around the company in the morning and came back. She also brought Zhao Na to have lunch with her.

"Mother Mitao, you have worked so hard."

Nan Li said to Mi Tao’s mother who was about to leave after cooking.

Mi Tao's mother has been working in their house for more than two months, but has never eaten a meal here. No matter how much Zhou Chen and Nan Li asked her to stay, she insisted on leaving.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I want to thank you for giving me this job opportunity. Your employer is the easiest one among the ones I've worked for."

Mi Tao's mother is more grateful. She now works part-time in several jobs. From Monday to Friday, she works at Tian Yulan's house in the morning, at another house at noon, and comes here in the afternoon.

However, on Saturdays and Sundays, she doesn't have to go to the other two restaurants. At noon, she will come to Zhou Chen's place to work for a few hours. She always leaves after lunch and goes to another restaurant in the afternoon.

Among these families, Zhou Chen and Nan Li's family are indeed the easiest to get along with. They never say anything, and even if she does something wrong sometimes, they will point it out gently. Compared to the other families, this place is indeed the easiest and most comfortable, both in terms of work and mentally.

After Mi Tao's mother left, the family started to eat.

"Lili, you know what, this Mi Tao mother is really good. I watched her cook, and she washed the dishes very cleanly and hygienically. She is better than those part-time workers you hired before. I heard that her daughter is in the same class as Huanhuan."

The picky Zhao Na is also quite satisfied with Mi Tao’s mother’s work.

"Yes, Mi Tao's mother is also very easy to get along with and works very hard. As for housework, it has become much easier for us."

Nan Li was also very satisfied with the service of Mi Tao's mother. Such an hourly worker who worked seriously, had a good attitude and knew everything about her was much more reassuring than those before.

Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Mom, why don't you hire a part-time worker?"

Zhao Na glanced at him and said, "Why? Did it make you feel bad that I asked your wife to come to my place to clean up?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "How is that possible? Nan Li doesn't go there every day. What I mean is that you live alone there, and sometimes things are complicated. It would be much more convenient to hire a part-time worker. You don't need to go every day. Going two or three days a week for two or three hours a day is much easier than doing it by yourself."

Nan Li's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Yes, Mom, I think what Xia Junshan said makes sense. You are a forgetful person and always forget things. It would be good to hire a part-time worker to clean the house for you."

"No need. I don't have anything to do over there. I can handle it by myself. Besides, hourly labor is not cheap. There's no need to waste that money." Zhao Na shook her head.

Nan Li quickly retorted: "What do you mean by wasted money? Why do we make money? It's to improve our lives. An hourly worker who goes there three times a week won't make much money in a month. You don't have to pay for it. We can find a job for you."

Zhao Na slapped her daughter hard: "You are the only one who can do this. Let me think about it again."

Seeing that Nan Li wanted to persuade him again, Zhou Chen said, "Okay, Lili, let mom think about it again."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was suddenly a knock on the door. Zhou Chen's heart skipped a beat and he looked towards Nan Li opposite him. Coincidentally, Nan Li also looked over at him. At that moment, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

"Why are you standing there? Go open the door."

Zhao Na picked up a piece of meat for Chaochao, and seeing that neither of them moved, she urged them.

"I go."

Zhou Chen nodded at Nan Li and stood up.

What happened with Tian Yulan yesterday, so when they heard someone knocking on the door today, they couldn't help but think of Tian Yulan. Given Tian Yulan's personality, the possibility of her coming again was very high.

Zhou Chen walked quickly to the door, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he looked through the peephole first. This look made him look surprised.

He quickly opened the door and asked loudly, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? No, Xia Junshan, why are you blocking the door? Get out of the way."

Nan Jianlong glared at Zhou Chen unhappily, and seeing that Zhou Chen had the door half-open but his body was blocking it, he reached out and tried to pull Zhou Chen to the side.

But Zhou Chen stood very steady, with no intention of moving aside, and even said, "No, Dad, it's not that I don't want you to come in, but Mom has given an order that you and Aunt Cai are not allowed to come in, or else we will be cut off from you. We dare not disobey Mom's order, so we really can't let you in."

The person who came was not Tian Yulan, but Nan Jianlong. However, except for the last time, Nan Jianlong had not been here for many years. He suddenly came here today. There must be something wrong. It was most likely about Tian Yulan's matter. With Tian Yulan's personality, she could not solve it by herself, so she might instigate Nan Jianlong to come through her mother.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not stop her, but today his mother-in-law happened to be at home, so he had to show his attitude and pretend.

And to be honest, he was a little resentful towards Nan Jianlong. The last incident in their house was such a big deal, but Nan Jianlong didn't even give an explanation afterwards, as if it had just been forgotten. Both he and Nan Li actually had some resentment about this matter.

"Xia Junshan, you've grown wings, haven't you? You even dare to stop me. Get out of my way."

Nan Jianlong pushed Zhou Chen away and walked in unsteadily, but when he saw Zhao Na sitting at the dining table, his face suddenly changed.

Chapter 46 Shocked Father-in-Law

"Nan Jianlong, who let you in? Get out now."

Zhao Na threw her chopsticks on the table and shouted at Nan Jianlong with a cold face.

Nan Jianlong shuddered in his heart. Ever since he cheated on his wife and got divorced, he instinctively felt a fear and wanted to avoid Zhao Na whenever he faced her.

"Why can't I come? This is also my daughter's home. I miss Huanhuan and Chaochao. Can't I come and see them?"

"Grandpa, grandpa."

Huanhuan and Chaochao hadn't seen Nan Jianlong for a long time, so they ran over happily. Nan Jianlong squatted down, hugged his granddaughter and grandson, and was extremely happy.

Zhou Chen came over and said to Zhao Na, "Mom, it wasn't me who wanted Dad to come in, but I couldn't stop him."

"I hope you can accomplish something."

Zhao Na glared at Zhou Chen fiercely and shouted at Nan Jianlong again: "Nan Jianlong, are you guys sick? You all like to come to people's homes when they are having dinner. Last time, that old mistress did it, and now you are doing it too. Are you guys here on purpose to turn people off?"

Nan Jianlong stood up and looked at Zhao Na: "Look at what you are saying now, don't you look like a cultured person at all?"

"What does this have to do with you? Nan Jianlong, what are you doing here? If you have to fart, let it out now and get out of here."

Nan Jianlong pointed at Zhao Na and said to Nan Li, "Li Li, look at your mother. What has she become of her now?"

Nan Li was definitely on her mother's side, so she naturally couldn't say anything to Zhao Na. She asked Nan Jianlong, "Dad, why are you here now? Have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten. You guys eat first and we'll talk after you're done."

"I don't have any appetite after seeing you."

Zhao Na pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside and walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

Nan Jianlong didn't care and walked to where Zhao Na had just sat. "Lili, you guys eat. I have something to do. Let's talk after you finish eating."

Zhou Chen sat down, looked at the food on the table, then looked at Nan Jianlong, feeling depressed. How the hell was he going to eat?

What my mother-in-law said was right. My father-in-law and Cai Juying really know how to pick the time. They always come when other people are having dinner.

"Dad, we've almost finished eating. Only Huanhuan and Chaochao are left. Let them eat their own food. If you have anything to say, just tell us directly."

"Yes, Dad, if you have anything to say, you can just give me a call. Why did you come all the way here?"

Nan Jianlong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. When you get old, you should walk more often, just as a way to exercise your body."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Zhou Chen and asked in a dissatisfied tone: "Xia Junshan, I heard from people in the hospital that you want to resign?"

"Yes, I submitted my resignation report a while ago, but I haven't received any notification yet. But it shouldn't be a problem." Zhou Chen replied.

"What do you mean there's no problem?"

Nan Jianlong raised his hand and wanted to take a hard photo, but suddenly realized that Huanhuan and Chaochao were still there, so he slowly put his hand down.

"You were doing a good job, why did you resign? And why didn't you even inform me?"

Zhou Chen laughed dryly: "No, Dad, this is my own business, and this is the decision I made after discussing with Lili, there is no need to inform you specifically."

Nan Jianlong angrily scolded: "Xia Junshan, you are really bold now. Don't forget that I was the one who introduced you to this job. Do you know how much effort I put into arranging you there? Now you want to resign without saying a word. Do you still take me seriously, huh?"

"And you, Lili, you actually agreed with him on such an important matter as resigning. Are you two crazy? The work at the design institute is not tiring, it's respectable, and the salary is good. You're doing well, why would you resign?"

Zhou Chen said, "Dad, it's not what you think. Those who don't feel tired at the design institute are the leaders. I'm just a designer. When I'm busy, I work overtime every day to draw pictures. It's decent, but the salary is really not high. With the current prices and environment, if I don't get commissions, I won't even be able to pay for my children in a year."

"Yes, Dad, Xia Junshan resigned and told me a long time ago. Besides, their leader always makes trouble for him, which makes his job very uncomfortable."

Nan Jianlong snorted coldly, "What kind of work isn't tiring? If you feel tired or uncomfortable, just lie down at home. What do you two think about it? Xia Junshan has resigned. What do you eat and drink? Can you support a family with your salary alone?"

Nan Li: "Dad, it's true that Xia Junshan resigned, but who says he won't make money? He's writing novels at home now, and he's planning to start his own business soon. Dad, you don't have to worry about this."

"Write novels? Those things that are not presentable? Do business? Xia Junshan is just an architectural designer. What kind of business can he do?"

Nan Jianlong was very disdainful. Xia Junshan was his student, and he knew exactly how capable he was. It was ok for him to do design and drawing, but to do business? He would lose all his family fortune.

"Nan Jianlong, you don't have much ability, don't think that Xia Junshan is the same as you, Xia Junshan is much more capable than you."

Zhao Na, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke and confronted Nan Jianlong.

Nan Jianlong turned to look at Zhao Na and asked, "You also knew that he resigned? Why didn't you stop him? Do you want to tire your daughter to death?"

In his opinion, if Zhou Chen quit his job, it would be the same as just living off Nan Li at home and waiting for her to support him. He really couldn't accept that.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Na looked at him with disdain: "Of course I know. I care more about my daughters' affairs than you do. Even though you look down on writing novels, Xia Junshan can make millions a month, and you only make a few dollars in your entire life. You actually look down on Xia Junshan. If you are not ashamed, I am ashamed for you."

"Millions? You can make millions by writing things that are not presentable?" Nan Jianlong looked incredulous.

"Look at how surprised you are. Tsk, Nan Jianlong, you don't have to worry about my daughter's affairs anymore. If you have nothing to do, just get lost and stay at home with your mistress. Don't run around and embarrass yourself."

After just a few words, Zhao Na started to make sarcastic remarks again, which made Nan Jianlong very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything back.

"Lili, can Xia Junshan really make millions a month by writing novels?"

Nan Li nodded and said, "Almost. Xia Junshan said that if we keep it up in the future, even if we can't make millions every month, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands shouldn't be a problem."

Nan Jianlong was speechless. He originally wanted Zhou Chen to go back to work, but now, he really couldn't speak.

No matter how good the work in the design institute is, the monthly salary is at most tens of thousands of yuan, but Xia Junshan can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a month by writing novels now.

He wanted to say that writing novels was an unstable job, but...

"Lili, you just said you want to do business? Have you already decided what kind of business to start?"

"Well, we have this idea, but we haven't decided what kind of business to start."

"Oh."

Nan Jianlong nodded. If it was a work-related matter, he could still give some advice, but he didn't understand business and couldn't say anything.

"I came here today for another thing besides this."

"Lan Lan and Yan Peng were taken to the police station last night. Did you know?"

"what?"

Zhou Chen and Nan Li both exclaimed loudly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 47 Selfish Nan Jianlong

Zhou Chen was really shocked to hear that Yan Peng and Tian Yulan had been taken to the police station.

You know, he scolded Tian Yulan on the phone last night. It was already night time. Did he go to the police station after that?

But why?

"That old mistress's daughter, she's in the police station? Great, God is watching over her. Like mother, like daughter. Both of them are not good people. The police should arrest them all."

When Zhao Na heard that Tian Yulan had been taken to the police station, she immediately clapped her thigh with joy, looking relieved.

Nan Jianlong's face darkened. He was talking to his daughter and son-in-law, but his ex-wife kept interrupting him, making him very annoyed. However, he didn't dare to refute her because he knew very well that if he dared to talk to her, Zhao Na would let him know how powerful an old woman is.

"Why? How did they get into the police station?"

Nan Li was really confused. The more she looked at Tian Yulan, the more she disliked her. But she still couldn't understand why she ended up in the police station.

Nan Jianlong: "The glass in their house was broken and fell from the upper floor, hitting someone."

"Someone was killed?" Zhou Chen asked in surprise.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Nan Jianlong glared at Zhou Chen, then said, "The glass fell to the ground and hit someone. Although two people were injured, it was not serious. They were just taken to the police station for routine questioning. It's just a civil matter, and they have to make certain compensation and apologies."

Zhou Chen was really speechless. Was Tian Yulan asking for trouble?

"Dad, you didn't come here just to tell us this, did you?"
