The world of film and television begins from childhood

The more she spoke, the more Cai Juying trembled. Her voice trembled: "I don't believe what you said. I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask your daughter. You can ask her now."

Zhou Chen was calm and said, "Such a simple lie will be exposed with one poke. There is no need for me to lie to you."

Cai Juying's head was buzzing. She had had a very fierce argument with Nan Jianlong over their daughter's affairs before, and she did have the idea of ​​divorce. It was just as Zhou Chen said, if they really divorced, she would take half of the property and go with her daughter.

But Zhou Chen's words directly shattered her fantasy. Once divorced, she would not get any money at all. Without much money, how could she have the confidence to live with her daughter and son-in-law?

If it was before, it would be fine, but the key point now is that her daughter Tian Yulan lost her job and was exposed online, so she had to go back to live with her parents-in-law. Of course, she couldn't go with them.

"Lao Nan can't live without me. I, I can live without a divorce."

Zhou Chen smiled: "Yes, you don't have to get a divorce, but if you say that Dad can't live without you, then you are really too self-indulgent."

"You have been with Dad for many years and you know how to take care of him, but I want to tell you that this kind of thing can be solved with money. We can hire a nanny, a nurse, and a doctor. As long as we have money, all problems can be solved."

Cai Juying stiffened her neck and said, "Impossible, Lao Nan won't adapt. He's used to me taking care of him."

"So, you really think too highly of yourself. When you are your dad's age, what do you think is the most important? Family love, having children and grandchildren. Do you think you can compare to Lili, Huanhuan and Chaochao in your dad's heart?

Let's take a step back and say that we can bring Dad home to take care of him, or even buy a house across the street to take care of him. I believe Dad will definitely not object. At that time, do you think he will choose to be with us or with you?"

Cai Juying pursed her lips, looking very flustered. Based on her understanding of Nan Jianlong, if Nan Li was really willing to take him back, he would definitely accept it with pleasure. At that time...

Looking at Cai Juying, whose mind was already somewhat confused, Zhou Chen showed no mercy and continued to attack her.

"So, if you want Lili to pick you up personally, it's impossible. Don't even think about it. And you have to think carefully about whether to divorce Dad or not.

When you reach your age, you should know very well that if it's your son, you still have reasons to rely on him, but if you want to live with your daughter and son-in-law, haha, I don't need to say more, you should understand that compared to your children, a good spouse is the only person you can rely on. "

"It's all over now. You have no other choice now. You can either go back and live a good life with your father, or get a divorce and take the little property you got to live with your daughter. Or you can take the money and go to a nursing home, but life in a nursing home will probably be even more difficult, so you have to think it over carefully."

After saying that, Zhou Chen stood up and said, "Oh, by the way, what I said today may be unpleasant to hear. If you can't accept it and want to make a fuss or commit suicide, I advise you to think it over carefully. If you really do that, in the end, only your daughter will be sad, and it will not have any impact on other people."

"That's it. I've said everything I need to say. If you've made up your mind and still want a divorce, you can call us and we'll arrange for you and dad to divorce as soon as possible. If you don't want a divorce and want someone to send you back, then you can only go find your daughter. It's impossible to get away from us."

"No matter what choice you make, don't bother us again, and don't let your daughter come again. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will do anything excessive."

Although Zhou Chen's series of words did not cause any substantial harm, they were extremely insulting.

Cai Juying was completely confused at this moment. She didn't even notice Zhou Chen leaving and just sat there blankly.

Chapter 62 Father-in-law in the eyes of son-in-law

"I went to my dad's place today. Tian Yulan was right. The house was a mess. It took me several hours to clean it up."

After learning that her father was not doing well, Nan Li took time out today to visit her father. She talked with Nan Jianlong for a long time and spent a long time cleaning the house.

"Honey, how was your conversation with that woman?"

Zhou Chen told Nan Li about his conversation with Cai Juying today. Nan Li was very surprised after hearing it.

"You sound so cruel, but did that woman really want to divorce Dad and even wanted a share of Dad's house?"

When she first heard it, Nan Li thought that what Zhou Chen said was a bit harsh, but when she heard it later and realized that Cai Juying actually wanted to divorce her father and even wanted to divide the real estate and property, she immediately flew into a rage.

"How dare this woman say such things? Although my father was not a good person back then, he treated them and their daughter very well. He provided them with food and drink. Tian Yulan was able to go to college because of my father's money and help her find someone. They have been able to live so well these years because of my father. At the end of her life, she even wants to share my father's property. She is really shameless."

Zhou Chen sneered, "With what they did, how can they still have the face to do that? Now you understand why I didn't let you go. You wanted to compromise for Dad, but they saw through your mind and wanted to take advantage of you. Once you really go, they will be even more aggressive. They have even thought of a way out, divorce and property division, which is a good idea, but it's too naive."

"It's really unbelievable that our mother would be stolen away by such a woman... And Dad, he found such a woman, and even at his old age, he still covets his property."

Nan Li really didn't know what to say. She was really scared for her previous naivety, and she also felt that Tian Yulan and her daughter's methods were more and more sinister.

Zhou Chen understood and said, "What's so strange about this? Mom is a strong-willed person. She knew that Dad had cheated on her. No matter what the reason was, she would never live with him again. And Dad, Lili, I think you still underestimated him. He is not as naive as you think."

"What do you mean?"

Nan Li was very puzzled. Today she visited her father's home and felt that her father was indeed pitiful. She really wanted her father to live a good life.

Zhou Chen: "Do you think our father doesn't know what that woman is thinking? Our father is very smart. Although he has given a lot to the mother and daughter over the years, he has gained more. There are people to serve him, wash clothes and cook, and take care of him when he is sick. There is no need to trouble us. Where can we find such a good nanny?

That woman has been under the control of our father for more than ten years. That woman has been living a good life. Do you really think she can leave our father?

It's impossible. My father also saw this clearly, so he didn't go to find her immediately. Instead, he planned to let that woman see clearly that it is impossible to live a good life by relying on Tian Yulan. As long as that woman is not living a satisfactory life, he will go and coax her and bring her back easily.

So, my dad is smart, he is just waiting, waiting for her to face the reality. To put it bluntly, in my dad's mind, that woman is only one level higher than a nanny, not to the level of a real husband and wife, let alone any husband and wife relationship, it's all bullshit."

Nan Li stared at Zhou Chen in amazement. After a long while, she said, "Husband, you have changed a lot recently. Have you studied psychology?"

Zhou Chen coughed twice: "Isn't it just writing a novel? The more you think, the more you understand."

Nan Li: "Hearing what you said, it seems like the couple has to scheme against each other in their daily life. It's too scary. Is our father that... cunning?"

Zhou Chen said, "My father has been a leader for so many years, he must have more experience in guessing people's hearts than us. Besides, how many married couples have a good life? How many of them don't scheme against each other? From small things like food and drink to big things like real estate companies, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, married couples like this, with children, are destined to be inharmonious. This is normal."

He is not looking down on couples who get married later in life, but it is a fact. It is rare for people who have been married once to marry again for love. Most of them just compromise with each other and live together.

"It's terrible, really terrible. If I have to live like that, I might as well separate early and live alone."

Nan Li shuddered. She simply couldn't imagine how she could live like that.

Zhou Chen hugged her and said, "So, it's better to stay with your original wife. As long as it's not a matter of principle, even if it's for the sake of the children, it's better not to divorce."

"Husband, you said such harsh words today, will that woman go back on her own?" Nan Li was still thinking about her father.

Zhou Chen replied: "Don't worry, I am 90% sure that the woman will go back, because as long as she wants to live, she has no other better choice; even if she doesn't go back, we have a backup plan. We can spend money to hire a nanny for our father, or find him a partner who is similar to that woman."

"Snapped."

"Hiss, Lili, you really have the guts to do that."

Zhou Chen covered his shoulder with his hands; the blow was quite severe.

Nan Li glared at him fiercely, "You deserve a beating. You even said something like finding a new partner for your father-in-law. What on earth are you thinking about?"

"I'm just trying to figure out a solution. It's just a joke."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Just wait for a few more days. That woman will definitely come back. I promise you."

"I hope so. I don't expect anything else. I just hope that woman can take good care of Dad. At worst, we will try not to go there in the future."

"Don't worry, even though our dad is old, he still knows how to act properly. That woman will never be able to outsmart him."

"What about playing or not? Can't you just talk properly?"

Nan Li rolled her eyes at him, then said, "Huanhuan is about to take the final exam. I wonder if she can make it into the top ten in the class this time."

Huanhuan has been studying quite hard lately and has made some progress, but the rate of improvement has obviously slowed down compared to the beginning. Chen Xiaoqin also mentioned this to Zhou Chen and the others.

Zhou Chen understood this very well. After all, Huanhuan’s grades used to be poor, so he improved quickly. But after his grades gradually improved, it was impossible for him to improve so quickly again. If he wanted to continue to make progress, he would need to improve slowly over time.

The teacher’s education is important, but the student’s own attitude is also important. So if you want to improve your grades, it is definitely not enough to rely on the teacher alone.

Zhou Chen no longer feels as much pressure about Huanhuan's grades as he did when he first came to this world. One reason is that Huanhuan's grades are constantly improving, and the other is that the family is becoming more and more financially prosperous.

He had already made up his mind that if Huanhuan could get into Hanlin Junior High School through his own efforts one year later, then everything would be fine.

But if Huanhuan fails the entrance exam, then he can only use his money. After all, Hanlin Junior High School is a private school, and it is more about making money, so as long as he finds the right person and uses his money to spend, he will definitely be able to get in.

Zhou Chen also decided to send Huanhuan to the summer cram school after it opened. With more people studying and competing together, the effect might be better.

Chapter 63 Chenxing Opening, Half a Year Later

A few days later, Huanhuan had finished her final exams, but the results had not yet come out, and Chenxing Education had quietly opened for business.

Nan Li was in charge of the opening, and it was quite a big scene. What Zhou Chen didn't expect was that the deputy mayor of their district also made the appearance.

Later he found out that in order to gain influence for them, Nan Jianlong had swallowed his pride and gone to ask for help from his former subordinate, now the deputy district chief.

Because Nan Jianlong felt that his daughter and son-in-law had both resigned, and although Zhou Chen said that he could make money by writing novels, he still felt uneasy. Now the couple wanted to run a tutoring institution, and as a father, he had to lend a hand, so he waited for several days before inviting the deputy district chief to come for a visit.

After Zhou Chen knew about this, he was also grateful. Although Nan Jianlong had various problems, he was absolutely sincere in his devotion to his daughter.

State officials at the level of deputy district mayor are not allowed to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a company, but Nan Jianlong also had a way. The deputy district mayor did not attend the formal ribbon-cutting ceremony, but brought a relative's child to register and left soon.

Although the deputy district mayor did not attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he also went there in person and brought people to sign up. Many people saw it with their own eyes. This will definitely have a huge positive impact on Chenxing Education.

As a result, during the subsequent ribbon-cutting ceremony, everything went very smoothly, and many parents brought their children to visit and sign up.

Zhou Chen and Nan Li also learned from Nan Jianlong that Cai Juying took the initiative to return to Nan Jianlong on the third day after Zhou Chen talked to her. At their age, there is no such thing as face, and the two of them tacitly did not mention the past and continued to live their lives.

Not long ago, Zhou Chen also sold all the bitcoins he had invested in. As far as he could remember, the highest price of bitcoin during this period seemed to be more than 13,000, but he was afraid of accidents, so he sold all of them when the price reached more than 11,000.

All in all, including additional investment, they invested more than two million yuan, and finally made a net profit of more than four million yuan, and including the principal, they finally received more than seven million yuan.

When Nan Li saw the money, she was stunned for a long time. It was the first time for her to see so much money in her bank card.

After receiving the money, they first settled the unpaid bills from the previous cram school, and then the two of them started to busy themselves with the affairs of the cram school.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

"Honey, when will you stop working? The news on TV lately is too scary."

During the winter vacation, which should have been a busy time for cram schools, Nan Li was not busy. This was because the city had issued a notice not long ago that all cram schools this year would have to close early, so Chenxing Education had closed a few days ago.

"Boss Fang has already issued a notice. We will do some finishing touches tomorrow, and you don't have to go the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Chen answered Nan Li while eating.

Two months ago, the Jockey Club Group started preliminary preparations for its new building. As the design consultant for the Jockey Club Group, Zhou Chen also took up the post.

At that time, because Chenxing Education had already been on the right track, Zhou Chen spent most of his time working in the new building.

As the Spring Festival approaches, a huge national epidemic has begun to emerge. Although it has not spread widely, some large cities have begun to prepare. Jiangzhou City, as a first-tier city, naturally received the news, and all walks of life have been affected.

Zhou Chen was actually very conflicted about this matter, because he knew that something like this would happen. It was not that he didn't want to prevent it early, but that he didn't have the ability and didn't dare to do so.

If he suddenly said something like this, he would either be considered a psychopath or a criminal who was destroying social order...

So apart from taking precautions early and purchasing an astonishing number of masks, disinfectants, and the like, he did not take any other action. As for making a fortune from this incident, he had never even thought about it.

It’s not that he is self-righteous, but he is not low enough to make money from such a disaster.

"This matter is very serious. From today on, you stay at home with the child and don't go out again. I also need to notify my mother. No, I think it's best to bring my mother to live with me. Safety comes first."

"Is it that serious?"

Although Nan Li knew from watching the news that this incident was very serious and a bit like the great disaster in the 2000s, she was still very surprised when Zhou Chen described it as so serious.

"It's very serious. You must not be complacent. We bought masks and disinfectants. Let's have people prepare them and send one to each student's home. Although these things are not valuable now, they are important supplies."

“By the way, how is our online training going now?”

Nan Li frowned and said, "Since we started, online training has not been profitable. We even lost money because of paying teachers' salaries. After more than half a year, there are only a few students."

In fact, she had wanted to shut down the online training a long time ago, because the offline training was now on the right track and started to make profits. She wanted to expand the offline business and shut down the online training, but Zhou Chen had always disagreed and insisted on continuing. She could only do as Zhou Chen said.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It will soon be time for online training to start."

"Are you talking about this incident?"

Nan Li is also a smart person. Now that cram schools are no longer allowed to open, what should those students do? How can they attend cram schools?

"Honey, are you doing online training just to prepare for times like this?" Nan Li seemed very shocked.

Zhou Chen: "I don't have that much ability. I just think that online training will become a trend in the future. You can see that there are all kinds of training online now. In this information and new media era, offline training is very important, but online training must not be abandoned."

“Is this what you call strategic vision?”

"Haha, that's right."

Zhou Chen said this to Nan Li, but his mood was very heavy. He knew very well how difficult and painful the next few months would be for this Eastern Shenzhou.

Although he did not have the great idea of ​​worrying about the country and the people, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about so many families being broken up and separated forever, and he forced himself not to think about it.

"Huanhuan ranked fourth in the final exam this time. She has been waiting for you to give her a reward. Are you ready?"

Hearing Nan Li's words, Zhou Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, "Well, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have really forgotten about it. I've been too busy recently."

Nan Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "I knew you forgot. I have already prepared a set of Princess Elsa dolls for you. Just give it to her when the time comes."

"Wife, it's so good to have you. Come, give me a kiss, um..." Zhou Chen hugged Nan Li and gave her a kiss.

Nan Li suddenly said, "Hubby, I heard from Huanhuan that Yan Ziyou seems to be acting strange recently. He doesn't play with her anymore, and he only ranked in the top ten in the final exam. This has never happened before."

Although she didn't have a good impression of Tian Yulan, she still had a good impression of the sensible and kind Yan Ziyu. After listening to Huanhuan's words, she kept it in mind.

"Ziyou?"
