The world of film and television begins from childhood

After such a long delay, the design institute finally sent a message, agreeing to Zhou Chen's resignation, and that the formalities would be handled today. Nan Li also returned to the company to resign.

While going through the resignation procedures, Zhou Chen chatted with a group of old colleagues for a long time and did not return home until noon. However, Nan Li returned home earlier than him.

In the afternoon, Zhou Chen was writing a novel at home, while Nan Li had already started working on the tutoring institution and went out. Although she had always been against Zhou Chen opening a tutoring institution, after deciding to take over, she worked harder than Zhou Chen.

"Huanhuan Dad, excuse me for interrupting you. I have something I want to tell you, but I'm embarrassed."

After finishing her work today, Mi Tao's mother did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she walked to the door of the study room a little embarrassedly and said to Zhou Chen who was busy.

Zhou Chen stopped what he was doing and asked politely, "Mi Tao's mother, just tell me what you want to say."

Mi Tao's mother was embarrassed: "Huan Huan's father, I heard from Teacher Zhong that he has resigned and is going to start a cram school with you. The reason why our Mi Tao went to Zeshu was because of Teacher Zhong. Now that Teacher Zhong is gone, we don't want to stay there anymore. I just want to ask, after your cram school opens, can you also let our Mi Tao..."

Zhou Chen immediately understood what she meant and nodded without hesitation, "No problem, Mi Tao's mother. Any tutoring institution would be eager to have a child as outstanding as Mi Tao. Moreover, we have known each other for such a long time. As long as you are willing to send Mi Tao there, I will let Zhong Yi arrange it personally. As for the tuition fee, you don't have to worry. I promise you that it will be much cheaper than choosing a school."

Nan Li had already told him that since the cram school had just started, the tuition fees could not be high. Moreover, Mi Tao was indeed a very outstanding child and they were acquaintances, so it would be no problem to give him a discount.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Mi Tao's mother immediately bowed and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Huanhuan's father, we are sorry to have caused you trouble."

Zhou Chen hurried over to help Mi Tao's mother up, but soon realized something was wrong and stopped.

"Mother Mi Tao, this is not a big deal. To be honest, you work so hard in our house, which actually saves us a lot of trouble. Besides, Huan Huan also told us that Mi Tao often helps her, and they have become very good friends."

Mi Tao's mother thanked them again: "Thank you very much. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Zhou Chen suddenly remembered something: "Oh, there is one thing. You have met my mother-in-law. She lives opposite our community. Lili and I originally wanted to hire a part-time worker for her, but we have been so busy lately that we forgot about it. My mother-in-law likes you very much. I wonder if Mi Tao's mother is busy recently and whether she has time to take on the job?"

"Yes, of course."

Mi Tao's mother nodded quickly. Not to mention having time, even if she didn't have time, she would squeeze out time. After all, Zhou Chen's family was very good to her.

What's more, some time ago, the family of Tian Yulan, where she had been working, had called her and settled her salary, telling her that she didn't need to go there anymore. She had originally been thinking about looking for a new partner, but now it was obvious that she didn't need to look for one anymore.

"That's great. You don't need to go every day. Three or four times a week will be enough. Let Nan Li tell you in detail. As for the salary, if she gives you money, you must not accept it. You can settle the bill with us later."

Mi Tao's mother quickly shook her head: "How can this be possible? You have helped me so much, how can I have the nerve to charge you again? It's not a big deal anyway, I can do it easily, there's really no need."

Zhou Chen insisted, "Helping is helping, and work is work. They can't be confused. If you insist on not taking money, then we dare not let you go, so there's no need to refuse anymore. It's settled."

"That's so embarrassing."

"It's only natural to work and earn money. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Mommy Mi Tao, you're just too polite."

"Thank you so much, for helping our Mi Tao and introducing me to a job. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. It's what we should do. Help each other. Help each other."

"........."

Chapter 60 Cai Juying is making trouble again

In the blink of an eye, summer vacation is coming.

Under the supervision of Zhou Chen and Zhong Yi, the decoration of the cram school has been completed for the most part, and Nan Li has also decided on the office desks and chairs. With just one phone call, they can be delivered at any time.

By the way, Yan Peng's family is also in the furniture OEM business. If I hadn't fallen out with Yan Peng, the office desks and chairs wouldn't have been so troublesome.

If we talk about the busiest person during this period, it must be Nan Li. She is out and about every day, applying for documents, distributing flyers to recruit students, buying books, buying teaching materials, looking for teachers, etc.

Zhong Yi found a few teachers, and Nan Li also found a few teachers through her own means. The teaching staff is sufficient for the time being.

As for documents, business license, fire safety qualification, health permit, etc. have also been obtained.

The name of the tutoring institution was decided by Zhou Chen himself. It was called Chenxing. There was no meaning in it. Zhou Chen named it after himself. He felt that he would leave sooner or later, and he had to leave something behind no matter what, so he chose this name.

The most important thing is the source of students. Recently, after Nan Li finished other things, she has been busy recruiting students. After all, everything else can be accomplished through hard work, but the source of students is the top priority. If no students can be recruited, everything will be in vain.

Nan Li used all of her connections and spent a lot of money on advertising. Although the cram school has not started yet, many students have expressed their intention to sign up.

Zhou Chen saw Nan Li busy during this period with his own eyes and felt very distressed. After he really started to work, he realized how hard it was to do business, especially to run a tutoring training institution. Although there was not much physical work, people who had to be servile and ask for help from others and had a bad mentality really couldn't do it.

But although Nan Li was busy, she did not complain. Instead, she said that she felt very fulfilled, which made Zhou Chen feel relieved.

At night, after coaxing the child to sleep, Nan Li pulled Zhou Chen to sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Honey, Tian Yulan called me today."

"what?"

Zhou Chen's voice suddenly rose, and he looked at Nan Li in shock: "You said Tian Yulan called you, did I hear it right?"

Nan Li replied: "I was also very surprised. I didn't want to answer the call, but she called several times in a row. Finally, I wanted to put an end to it, so I answered it."

"So what did she say? Did she argue with you again?"

"No, I was very confused at first, but after she finished talking, I finally understood what was going on."

"What's going on?" Zhou Chen was very curious.

Nan Li said: "It's not because of her and our affairs, but for her mother."

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with her mother? Is she making trouble again?"

"Her mother had a big fight with my father and ran away from home. She said she wanted to divorce my father and is now living in their house."

"The old couple had a fight and want to divorce? Because of our affairs? But why did she look for you?"

Nan Li looked unhappy: "She said that my dad has had a very hard time since her mom ran away from home, and the house has been messed up. She hopes that we can go and invite her mom back, even if it's for our dad."

"Be her..."

Zhou Chen opened his mouth to curse, but he held back: "Dream, she is simply dreaming, it's really funny, I asked you to invite her mother, how could she come up with this?"

In his opinion, this kind of thing was simply absurd and it had also happened in the plot. What made him unbelievable was that Nan Li actually went to invite him.

It's so funny that the biological daughter invites the mistress who destroyed their family back home.

"Lili, no matter what you think, I don't agree. I absolutely don't agree. It's ridiculous. I want you to invite that woman home? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

A woman like Cai Juying wants this kind of face. Does she deserve it?

Nan Li said: "What about my dad? Although I don't want to say it, but without that woman, my dad can't live alone."

Zhou Chen: "I don't object to that woman going back, but you absolutely cannot go to pick her up. She doesn't deserve it. I think they just want this face. If you go to invite them, then from now on, you have to be inferior to them. Why? She is the mistress and wants to suppress you and our mother. No, this is a matter of principle. I can't let you lose this person."

"It's not about shame or not, but our dad can't be left without someone to take care of him. He's in such a bad shape that if he doesn't eat or drink well, he'll get sick very easily."

Nan Li hesitated: "My dad is so old, I can't let anything happen to him. It's okay for me to lose face, as long as he is fine."

"No, absolutely not. It's not the problem you mentioned. Our dad needs someone to take care of him. We can hire a nanny or a nurse. I would rather suffer the consequences than let you lose face."

"Lili, this matter is non-negotiable. If you really want to go, I will definitely be angry."

Seeing Zhou Chen's unhappy look, Nan Li immediately smiled: "I'm not angry yet, but you are excited. Husband, I know you are doing this for my own good, but that woman has taken care of my dad for more than ten years. My dad is used to her care. If I change someone else at this time, I'm afraid she may not be able to take good care of him."

Seeing that Nan Li's tone was unsteady, Zhou Chen knew that if he did not insist on opposing it, given Nan Li's personality, she might really compromise.

Rather than letting Nan Li act on her own when he doesn't know, it would be better to solve the problem first.

"Lili, don't show up. I'll handle it. I'll go talk to Aunt Cai."

"You want to go?" Nan Li was full of doubt: "No, no."

Zhou Chen saw Nan Li's worry and said, "Don't worry, Li Li, I promise I won't do anything or use any other means this time. I will talk to her carefully. If we can't reach an agreement, I will think of other ways. How about that?"

"Hubby, can you please stop arguing with them again."

"It's safe, it's safe, just leave it to me."

Zhou Chen was determined to teach this mother and daughter a lesson. Just after he dealt with Tian Yulan, Cai Juying started to make trouble again.

divorce?

It's funny. If Cai Juying really had that kind of ability, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to become a mistress. Now that they're divorced, who will care about her, Tian Yulan?

If it was Tian Yulan, Zhou Chen would not be very sure, but with Cai Juying, he was absolutely sure. Although Cai Juying was equally shameless, she was much easier to deal with than Tian Yulan.

"Can you really do it?"

Nan Li has been very busy with her entrepreneurial venture recently. In fact, if it weren't for her father's affairs, she would not bother to care about Tian Yulan and Cai Juying, mother and daughter.

Zhou Chen answered confidently: "Definitely, and definitely."

"By the way, the students will be on summer vacation soon, and there are only a dozen days left for the summer tutoring classes. Is Chenxing okay?"

"We have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. There will be no problem in opening the school. The only thing is that we don't know how many students we will have in the end. Without a final confirmation, no one can guarantee whether we can make money. After all, we have already invested a lot of money before it even starts."

Zhou Chen was more open-minded: "Don't worry too much. Anyway, it's already open. We've worked hard. It's up to God. By the way, are the online training courses being held at the same time?"

Nan Li asked in confusion: "Husband, I really don't understand why you insist on doing online education. We are already too busy with offline courses, why do we still want to do online education? I have consulted and found that online education is several times more difficult than offline education."

Zhou Chen smiled confidently: "Lili, believe me, there may be no profit in online business at this stage, but it will definitely surprise you in the future."

"Okay, okay, I don't know what's going on in your mind, but you're the boss, so we'll do whatever you say."

"I'm the boss and you're the boss lady."

Chapter 61 Bringing humiliation to oneself

"Why you, Nan Li?"

It was clearly Nan Li who called, but the person who called was Zhou Chen. Cai Juying's face immediately turned very ugly.

She used to have a good impression of Zhou Chen, but after a series of things happened, especially her daughter lost her job and was exposed online, all of this was because of Zhou Chen and Nan Li, so naturally she would not be in a good mood.

Zhou Chen lost his usual politeness and said in a cold tone: "Lili has something to do today, so I am here for her."

"I don't want to talk to you. I'm leaving." Cai Juying said as she was about to stand up.

But Zhou Chen said coldly: "Then you have to think it through. If you don't talk about it today, you may not have a chance in the future, and there will really be no possibility for you and Dad."

"What did you say? What qualifications do you have to say that?"

Cai Juying immediately sat down again and questioned Zhou Chen in a very dissatisfied tone.

"It's not your place as an outsider to interfere in what's going on between me and Lao Nan."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Yes, I am indeed an outsider to you, but don't forget that my wife is my father-in-law's biological daughter. If we really compare them, their relationship is much closer than yours."

"Tian Yulan called and asked Lili to ask you to go back. I think she is overthinking it. It's also very funny. I can answer you on behalf of Lili. Stop dreaming."

Cai Juying's face turned very ugly: "Don't go too far, what's the point of bullying an old man like me?"

"elder?"

Zhou Chen sneered disdainfully: "When you made a scene at my house, you were not an old man? When you made a scene at Lili's company, you were not an old man either? Why did you become an old man at this time? Let's not keep it a secret. I'm not your father. I won't fall for it. If you want to make a scene, you can try. But before that, you can think about what will happen to your daughter. If you both really want to fight, the two of you combined are no match for me."

Regardless of Cai Juying's extremely ugly expression, he had already lost his patience with this mistress and would not be polite to her.

"You can take it as a threat, I don't care, but I'm here to solve the problem today. If you don't want to tell me, you just have to listen."

"I heard you want to divorce dad?"

"It has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between Lao Nan and me. You don't need to interfere." Cai Juying said coldly.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "You're right. I don't want to get involved, but since your daughter came to me, I'll have a good talk with you."

"You said you wanted to divorce Dad. Well, even if you really divorced, what do you think you would get?"

Cai Juying said confidently: "Lao Nan and I have been married for more than ten years. Even if we get divorced, I can still get half of the property."

"Tsk tsk, they really came prepared and are ready to divide the property."

Seeing Zhou Chen's face full of sarcasm and ridicule, Cai Juying was so angry that she trembled all over because she felt extremely humiliated.

Zhou Chen didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued: "I understand your thoughts. You think that if you get divorced, you can get half of the property, and then you can use this property to live with your daughter. With money, your daughter will not despise you, right?"

Although Cai Juying didn't say anything, her expression said it all. For an old woman with little education, she felt that as long as she had money, her daughter would want her and serve her. To some extent, this idea was barely valid.

"Excuse me for being honest. Your daughter may be filial, but do you think Yan Peng will have the same idea as her? One or two days is fine, but over time, what do you think Yan Peng's parents will think? By then, not only will it be difficult for you, but it may also be difficult for your daughter. In the end, there will be only two situations: either you go alone, or you go with your daughter."

Cai Juying's face turned pale after hearing what Zhou Chen said. Although she was uneducated, she had experienced various days of living under other people's roofs when she was young. So although she hated Zhou Chen, she did not think that Zhou Chen's words were to scare her, but that they could really happen.

"Secondly, I want to correct a common sense mistake of yours. You think you can get half of the property after the divorce. That's dreaming. Although you have been married to Dad for many years, the property you can get is only half of the property you got after the marriage. You can't get a penny of the property before the marriage."

"Don't understand what I mean? Then listen carefully. The house Dad lives in now is pre-marital property. In other words, no matter whether you get divorced or not, the house has nothing to do with you, and you won't get any real estate.

The only money you can really get is the money you get after your marriage, but when you got married, Dad was already semi-retired. So far, excluding food and drink expenses, how much savings do you think he has? How much can you get?"
