The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen replied: "This is a decision made by my wife and I. We want to give it a try."

Fang Yuanyang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, it won't delay. After all, the new building can't be started immediately. You can start your tutoring institution first, and come to help me after you are stable. I don't plan to let you stay all day. I just need you to grasp the general direction, don't make any problems, and report to me regularly. It won't take up too much of your time."

"this."

Having said that, Zhou Chen realized that the various conditions proposed by Fang Yuanyang were definitely flattering him. If the other party did not approve of him very much, he would never make such concessions.

"Mr. Fang, I really can't give you an answer right now. How about I go back and discuss it with my wife?"

This incident happened before the cram school was even opened. In fact, if there was no cram school, he would have agreed to it, because this job would definitely be easier than working in a design institute.

Fang Yuanyang said impatiently: "You are a grown man, what are you discussing with a woman? Do you have any opinions of your own?"

Zhou Chen: "This has nothing to do with men and women. After all, we have a plan before. If there are any changes, we always have to discuss it."

"Okay, I approved your design, but please don't let me down again. If you do, I'll be very unhappy."

Fang Yuanyang said half-jokingly, and then interrupted: "The food is already cold, I'll ask them to serve another portion."

Zhou Chen smiled and did not answer, but he felt emotional in his heart. Man proposes, God disposes. The matter with the tutoring institution has not even started yet, and yet this kind of thing has happened.

After returning home in the evening, Zhou Chen told Nan Li what he had talked about with Fang Yuanyang today.

After hearing this, Nan Li immediately said, "This is a good thing. They took the initiative to invite you, which can be said to be very sincere. In fact, in my opinion, it is better not to do the tutoring institution for the time being. You can temporarily follow the case of the new building of the Jockey Club. Fang Yuanyang will definitely not treat you badly if he comes to you in person. Moreover, you have free time and can have plenty of time to write novels, which is really good."

"You mean you want me to go?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Yes, I think it's a good opportunity to let you be in charge of the new building project as Party A."

"Fang Yuanyang's offer is indeed good, but I don't want to give up the tutoring institution."

Fang Yuanyang has already achieved this point, and Zhou Chen is actually a little tempted. After all, the power Fang Yuanyang gave him is not small. Just like Nan Li said, this is indeed an opportunity.

But he had also thought about the tutoring institution for a long time. This was something he prepared for Nan Li. Now Nan Li's position as marketing director was still undecided, so he wanted to prepare for a rainy day and set up the tutoring institution first, so that Nan Li would not be treated badly in Wei Nuan.

Nan Li didn't quite understand why Zhou Chen was so obsessed with running a cram school business. In her opinion, there was a high possibility that the cram school business would not make as much money as Zhou Chen's novel writing, and it was more complicated and involved more work than writing novels.

"You said that the new building of the Jockey Club has not started construction yet, so there is still time. Let's try and see if this cram school can be opened. If it can be opened, we will open it. If it is not working after a while, we will give it up."

"Honey, do you think this is okay?"

Zhou Chen thought about it and said, "That's it."

The reason why he agreed was because he thought that something big would happen at the beginning of next year, and by then, the construction of the building might not be able to start in the short term, so he still had plenty of time.

So the next day, Zhou Chen called Fang Yuanyang and told him his decision, but also agreed that he would only take office when the new building started construction.

Of course Fang Yuanyang would have no objection. He attached great importance to the new building of his group, so he lowered himself to find Zhou Chen in person. There must be a lot of preparation before starting construction.

However, Fang Yuanyang mentioned something that made Zhou Chen overjoyed. Fang Yuanyang asked him if he had found a house for the tutoring institution. If not, he could look at the stores under their horse racing group. If there was a suitable one, he could contact him directly.

This is definitely good news for Zhou Chen. The Jockey Club Group is also in the real estate business. Stores like the Zeshu Store are owned by the Jockey Club Group. Under their umbrella, there will naturally not be just one store like this.

Chapter 55: Nan Li Demoted

With the help of Fang Yuanyang, a business tycoon, Zhou Chen naturally would not be polite. After thanking Fang Yuanyang, he began to choose a store.

Perhaps in Fang Yuanyang's eyes, this is just a small matter, but in Zhou Chen's view, it is a big matter, because this matter can save him a lot of time.

After getting Nan Li's plan, Zhou Chen started working. With Fang Yuanyang's support, he quickly found a suitable store.

"Hey, Senior Brother, I've thought it over and decided to follow you."

Zhou Chen was also quite happy after receiving Zhong Yi's reply. Although Nan Li was not very confident about Zhong Yi, he had met Zhong Yi several times and felt that Zhong Yi was not bad. Although he had a bad temper, he was still capable. Moreover, the two of them came from the same place, so he was obviously much more reassuring than a stranger.

"That's great, Zhong Yi, then we have a deal. I have already chosen a store, and the area is large enough. If we really want to make use of it, one or two hundred people won't be a problem."

"Really? Senior brother, you're really quick. I can't hold you back. I'll quit my job and help you right away."

When Zhong Yi saw that Zhou Chen had even found a store with a large area, he felt relieved immediately. This meant that Zhou Chen was not joking with him, but was really planning to make a big splash. So he could resign with peace of mind.

"That's great. I've found a store, but it still needs renovation. You can help me keep an eye on it. Don't worry, I'll pay you as usual when the time comes."

"Brother, you are being too formal. This is what I should do. But, brother, you told me last time that you wanted my girlfriend to join. I mentioned it to her, but she didn't agree. I'm really sorry, brother."

"Don't agree?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chen was not surprised. For a teacher like Zhang Xueer who was young and ambitious, it was expected that she would disagree. However, he still wanted to recruit such an "excellent" teacher like Zhang Xueer.

"Well, make an appointment and I'll talk to her."

"Well, Senior Brother, I'll trouble you then."

Of course Zhong Yi wanted to work with his girlfriend, especially since Zhou Chen had promised him that he would give him shares. He didn't expect to get much, but no matter how much he got, one was an employee and the other was a small boss, and their prospects were different.

Zhong Yi acted very quickly. That evening, he made an appointment with Zhou Chen and brought his girlfriend along.

Zhou Chen took great pains to convince Zhang Xueer, but Zhang Xueer still did not agree in the end. She just agreed to Zhou Chen's suggestion to give it a try when the summer tutoring class started.

Next, Zhong Yi also told Zhou Chen that he had started contacting his old friends to see if he could find an excellent teacher.

However, Zhou Chen remembered Nan Li's words. When it comes to finding teachers, they can't rely entirely on Zhong Yi, so he said that he didn't know how many students he could recruit for the time being, so he would recruit fewer teachers first. The most important thing now is to focus on the decoration of the classrooms of the cram school.

This was naturally a very simple matter for Zhou Chen, as it was a place for studying and did not require complicated decoration, so Zhou Chen finalized the decoration plan in one night.

Zhong Yi volunteered to oversee the decoration, and Zhou Chen did not refuse. Since it was decided to give Zhong Yi shares, it would not be given for free, and the work still had to be done.

That day, after Nan Li returned home, she angrily told Zhou Chen that during work today, Cai Juying ran to Wei Nuan and made a scene, saying that it was she who caused Tian Yulan to lose her job. She cried and screamed, which had a huge impact on the company and made her lose face.

Although the security guards forcibly took Cai Juying away in the end, Nan Li found that after returning to the company, many people looked at her strangely, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Is she mentally ill, or did she do that on purpose?"

Zhou Chen was also very angry after hearing this. She went to the company to make trouble, which was more serious than the previous trouble at home. However, he couldn't tell whether Cai Juying did it on purpose or not, because this woman's brain circuit was indeed a bit problematic.

"Then did you call Dad? We can't just ignore this matter. Who knows if she will continue to make trouble? With her shameless personality, she can do anything. In fact, I think the best way is to call the police."

Encountering this kind of old and shameless woman, neither Nan Li nor he would know what to do, because once they took action, the nature of the situation would change. In Zhou Chen's opinion, calling the police would be the best option.

Nan Li said, "I didn't dare to call Dad. You saw how angry he was last time. I was afraid that if it happened again, he would be so angry that he would do something. I wanted to call Tian Yulan and ask her to take her mother away, but now Tian Yulan has lost her job, and I'm really afraid that she and her mother would make trouble together."

"This mother and daughter are absolutely amazing."

Thinking of the scene where Tian Yulan and Cai Juying made a big fuss, Zhou Chen took a breath of cold air. It's amazing what this mother and daughter duo could do.

Facing such people, unless Nan Li simply gave up on her face, it would be useless to use the same methods she used to deal with normal people.

Nan Li thought for a moment and said, "Just as you said. If they come again, I will call the police. I originally wanted to save their face and not make things too embarrassing, but now it seems that it is best to cut the Gordian knot and hand them over to the police for education."

"To be honest, if it weren't for my dad's relationship, it wouldn't be so difficult to deal with them. It's because of my dad being in the middle that many of my methods can't be used, which is why they make trouble again and again. It's really annoying."

Listening to Nan Li's complaints, Zhou Chen could only hug her and comfort her: "Don't think about it. The more you think about it, the angrier you'll get. If they come again, just call the police."

"Ah."

Cai Juying did not show up again for the next two days, which made Nan Li feel relieved. She was really afraid that Cai Juying would continue to pester her. Although it would not cause her any substantial harm, it would definitely have a huge impact on her work.

But they still underestimated Tian Yulan's strength. Ever since Tian Yulan was suspended from her job, her mental state had some problems. She took out all her resentment on Nan Li, and even couldn't take care of her own son for the time being.

In order to take revenge on Nan Li, she tried every possible way and finally made a decision. Since it was Nan Li who made her lose her job, she would let Nan Li taste the same pain.

That day, Nan Li came to the company in high spirits. She had been in good spirits these days because the president told her that the position of marketing director would be confirmed in the next two days. Since her home furnishing store plan was very good, there would be basically no problem for her to become the official director.

Seeing that she had put in so much effort and was finally about to reap the rewards, Nan Li naturally felt very happy.

However, as soon as she walked into the company today, Nan Li felt something was wrong, because she found that her colleagues were no longer as enthusiastic as before after seeing her. Instead, they avoided her and pointed fingers at her.

This phenomenon immediately made Nan Li's heart skip a beat. An ominous premonition came to her mind, causing her to hurry back to the office and open the company's intranet.

A new announcement appeared on the company's internal website, and she clicked on it.

Nan Li stared at the computer screen for dozens of seconds. This was an announcement about the appointment of the company's marketing director. What she couldn't accept was that the name on it was not hers.

She didn't know who Eric was, but she suddenly lost the position of marketing director that she had been aiming for, and was demoted to marketing manager. This was really unbelievable for her.

The angry Nan Li went straight to find the president of the company. The reason why she came here was because of President Wei Nuan, and the other party had also promised her that the position of marketing director would definitely be hers. But now, everything is in vain, and she wants to go to the president to ask clearly.

But when she got there, she didn't find the president, because the other party knew she was coming and had already avoided her.

In desperation, she went to the Human Resources Department to ask the Human Resources Director, and finally learned that the reason she lost the position was because of her academic qualifications. The newly appointed Eric was an elite returnee with better academic qualifications and resume than her, so she did not compete with him.

Nan Li couldn't accept this answer, but she couldn't vent her anger and could only return to her office in anger.

After working so hard for so long, she was finally reaped the benefits by others. She had never been so angry before.

What was even more unbelievable to her was that after she returned to the office, her assistant secretly told her that her academic qualifications were one of the reasons why she failed in the competition.

On the other hand, she was complained about by someone, led by Tian Yulan, who joined several other parties to file a collective complaint, saying that her home furnishing store plan had major flaws, and that she failed to distinguish between public and private affairs, abused her power, privately promised benefits, framed Tian Yulan and had her suspended, etc.

When Nan Li heard the truth, she felt cold all over. The scene of Cai Juying coming to her company and making a scene emerged involuntarily in her mind. When she thought about Tian Yulan's private complaint, she felt that this must be a conspiracy that Tian Yulan had planned for a long time.

Zhou Chen was sitting in front of the computer typing when suddenly the cell phone next to him rang. He turned around and saw it was Nan Li. He immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Lili, what's going on?"

"Honey, I was demoted..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 56 Zhou Chen's Counterattack

Zhou Chen was a little surprised to hear Nan Li crying, but it was also expected. However, he still asked with concern.

"Lili, what's going on?"

"It's Tian Yulan, she..."

After listening to Nan Li's explanation, Zhou Chen cursed in his heart. Tian Yulan had already been suspended from her job, but she was still able to stir up trouble. Thinking back to the incident when Cai Juying made a scene at Wei Nuan, he wondered if Tian Yulan had deliberately instigated this.

On this point, his thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Nan Li's.

"Your company is too bullying. I worked so hard for so long, but in the end I was demoted. Lili, I think you might as well just quit and avoid getting upset."

"Hubby, I can't swallow this. Why did I work so hard for so long and get nothing in the end? I graduated from a prestigious domestic university after all. Why do they look down on me? And Tian Yulan, she's too much. I have to ask her for an explanation."

"Hey, Lili, listen to me...dudududu..."

Zhou Chen was about to speak when the other party hung up. This immediately made him anxious and angry. He knew that Nan Li must have gone to find Tian Yulan. With someone like Tian Yulan, Nan Li would definitely not be in good shape.

Of course, he couldn't let his wife suffer, so he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fang? I have something to trouble you with. Do you know…"

After contacting Fang Yuanyang, Zhou Chen quickly received a reply, then dialed a few more numbers. After making preparations, he immediately drove towards Tian Yulan's home. Now that Tian Yulan has been suspended from work, Nan Li wants to find Tian Yulan to ask for an explanation, so she must think of going to Tian Yulan's home first.

Nan Li did go to look for Tian Yulan, and before she reached her house, she stopped her at the gate of the community.

As the saying goes, enemies become more jealous of each other when they meet. After the two saw each other, they immediately started to quarrel. Nan Li had good eloquence, but because the blow she suffered today was too great, and Tian Yulan was well prepared, Nan Li could not get any advantage at all. Instead, she was ridiculed and mocked by Tian Yulan.

At this moment, Zhou Chen arrived in time. He saw Nan Li and Tian Yulan arguing on the side of the road, so he quickly stopped the car and rushed over.

"Lili, how are you?"

Zhou Chen immediately pulled Nan Li behind him, looked at Nan Li with an ugly expression, and asked with concern.

Before Nan Li could say anything, Tian Yulan started to mock with disdain: "Oh, you're afraid you can't win the argument, so you even notified the bodyguards. Nan Li, Xia Junshan, what, are you planning to attack together? This is all you two are capable of."

"Tian Yulan, you..."

Nan Li was about to speak when Zhou Chen stopped her, then turned to Tian Yulan and sneered, "It doesn't matter how capable we are, but you really have no moral integrity. Tian Yulan, your behavior is really disgusting. First, you asked your mother to go to Lili's company to make a scene, and then you went behind her back to tell on her. Your behavior is really stupid and has no moral integrity. Oh, no, you even took advantage of your mother, and you're also unfilial."

"Xia Junshan, what are you talking about..." Tian Yulan was furious.

"You heard me clearly. I said you were unfilial. Look at your mother. She degraded herself to be someone else's mistress in order to support you. She worked so hard to raise you, but now she's old, you're still using her. Your mother can be forgiven for being a mistress to make a living, but your behavior is worse than your mother's."

"Xia Junshan, I'm going to fight you."

Tian Yulan roared and was about to rush over to tear Zhou Chen apart, but Zhou Chen was prepared. When he rushed over, he pushed her away, causing Tian Yulan to sit on the ground.

"Xia Junshan, you dare to hit me."

"A woman like you, beating you will dirty my hands."

Zhou Chen had a look of disdain on his face. He had witnessed Tian Yulan's shamelessness many times, and this time he really couldn't tolerate it.

Although Tian Yulan was furious, she was also very clear that as a woman, she was no match for Zhou Chen. However, her childhood experiences made her know very well how to deal with such a situation.

"Someone come, someone is beating someone, a man is beating a woman..."

Their quarrel here had already attracted quite a few people, and Tian Yulan's crying and shouting attracted even more people.

"It's really shameless for a grown man to bully a woman in broad daylight."
