The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen drove Xiang Nanfang for more than twenty minutes before arriving at the destination.

Looking at the coffee shop in front of him, whose decoration was obviously more unique than the surrounding shops, Xiang Nanfang was surprised.

"When did this cafe open? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Zhou Chen replied, "It's only been open for a few months. I found it when I was passing by on my way to school. Business was pretty good in the beginning, after all, it was a novelty store, but now it's not as prosperous as it was at the beginning. I don't think it will be open for much longer."

"Can you see this too?"

Xiang Nanfang stared at Zhou Chen with his two beautiful big eyes. Isn't Zhou Chen studying medicine? How come he knows so much about this kind of thing?

"When running a business, customer sources are very important. This cafe is good, but the cost is not low. Not many people come here often, and most of them are young men and women. When they are pursuing romance, they don't care about the cost, but after a long time, they will not come here all the time."

Zhou Chen's explanation made Xiang Nanfang's eyes roll, and he asked, "From what you said, you brought me here to pursue romance?"

"Cough cough!"

Zhou Chen coughed awkwardly twice, "Of course not, I just think this place is good and suitable for discussing things, don't get me wrong."

Xiang Nanfang asked again: "Do you always come to places like this to discuss matters?"

Zhou Chen knew that he couldn't continue to be passive. If the woman wanted to continue to pester him, he had better change the subject quickly, otherwise he would say the wrong thing sooner or later.

"Let's go in first."

As he said that, he walked into the cafe first.

Xiang Nanfang laughed happily, did not insist anymore, and happily followed Zhou Chen into the coffee shop.

Zhou Chen found a seat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks.

"After half a year in college, what do you think?" Zhou Chen took the initiative to ask Xiang Nanfang.

Xiang Nanfang thought for a moment and said, "There are definitely changes. Life in college is completely different from high school. My classmates have become more mature and the atmosphere is different."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That is the capital of our country, the most prosperous place."

"The capital is indeed much more prosperous than our Jinling. Why didn't you want to go to the capital in the first place? Otherwise, we could have stayed in the same city."

Xiang Nanfang felt a little regretful. She went to Minzu University in the capital, but with Zhou Chen's grades, he could have been admitted to any university in the country. It was a pity that Zhou Chen chose a medical school that no one expected.

"The capital? I really don't want to go there."

In the previous worlds, he stayed in the capital for many years, so in this world, he didn't want to go to the capital to develop. It was good for him to stay in Jinling.

What's more, he has to complete the mission and must stay in Jinling.

"University can be considered a small society. With your personality, you should get along well with your classmates, right?"

Xiang Nanfang has a cheerful personality and makes friends easily, but he is also very strong-willed. If he meets someone who is equally strong-willed, he may not be able to get along well with them.

Xiang Nanfang: "It's OK. I made a lot of friends. Minzu University gathers top students from all over the country. When I got there, I realized how ordinary I am."

In Jinling, because her father was a high-ranking leader, she was always the center of attention and there were always people trying to curry favor with her.

But when she arrived in the capital, the center of the country, although she was also very outstanding, she was definitely not the best. Fortunately, she had a very good mentality and was not disturbed.

Zhou Chen said: "You can't say that. You don't have to be so self-deprecating. You are not ordinary at all. You are very outstanding."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

Xiang Nanfang, who was praised by Zhou Chen, smiled happily.

"Although we have many outstanding students in Minzu University, I feel that they are still not as good as you. If you go to the capital, no matter which school you go to, you will definitely become the most dazzling one."

Having lived in the capital for nearly half a year, she has met many outstanding male classmates, but she feels that those male classmates are far inferior to Zhou Chen in every aspect.

In her opinion, an outstanding man like Zhou Chen should go to the capital to make his living, but Zhou Chen was only willing to stay in Jinling, which made her feel confused.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and did not answer. He had experienced so many worlds and had lived for more than a hundred years. If he could not even compare to a group of boys in their teens and twenties, then his life was truly a failure.

"Everyone has different ideas. I just want to study medicine well and be with my family. I don't want to leave my hometown and venture out for the so-called lofty ideals."

Xiang Nanfang rolled his eyes and said, "When you say that, people who don't know you would think you are middle-aged. Shouldn't we do more in our lives, go out and explore more, and contribute to socialism?"

“Good enlightenment.”

Giving Xiang Nanfang a thumbs up, Zhou Chen praised: "What the country needs most is people like you who are responsible. I can't do that. I'm too lazy. I can only contribute to the country in other ways."

"Eerie."

Xiang Nanfang snorted coldly, and then the coffee and snacks were served.

Zhou Chen took the initiative to ask: "Do you want some milk or sugar?"

"Actually, I don't drink much coffee. Can you help me mix it?"

"Okay, then I'll sweeten it for you. Girls probably like sweet things. And you can eat more of this snack. Don't worry about getting fat."

While Zhou Chen was helping Xiang Nanfang make coffee, he pushed snacks in front of her.

Xiang Nanfang was not polite either. She really enjoyed Zhou Chen's help.

"You're so considerate, you must have a girlfriend, right?"

Zhou Chen laughed: "Why look for a girlfriend? Isn't studying medicine good? I want to respond to the country's call to marry and have children later. I will never get married before I reach the age."

"Just blow it."

Xiang Nanfang didn't believe what Zhou Chen said, but he didn't ask further. Instead, he asked, "Last time you wrote to me, you asked me for help with something. What was it?"

Zhou Chen said: "Nan Fang, we have known each other for many years. I will just speak directly if I have anything to say."

"Of course I'll tell you straight away. Do you still want to play riddles with me?"

"That's not the case. It's because this matter is rather troublesome and may require your father's help."

"Ask my father for help?"

Xiang Nanfang paused while eating the snack and looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.

Growing up in a cadre family, she had seen too many people who wanted to ask her father for help, and all kinds of people who wanted to establish connections with their family.

But she felt that Zhou Chen should not be one of those people.

Feeling a little disappointed, she asked, "Is this the reason why you asked me out?"

Zhou Chen sensed something wrong in Xiang Nanfang's tone. He looked directly at Xiang Nanfang and said softly, "No, calling you out is the real thing. Asking your father for help is just a side job. Let's put it this way, it's not really necessary to ask your father for help, but..."

Before Zhou Chen finished speaking, Xiang Nanfang interrupted and said, "I understand. Tell me, what's the matter?"

She was really curious about what Zhou Chen wanted to do that made her want to trouble her father, because Zhou Chen was such a smart man that he must understand that after saying this, it would likely affect their relationship.

But he still said that this meant there were only two possibilities. One was that Zhou Chen really used her as a stepping stone to get to know her father, and his contact with her was just out of utilitarianism.

Another possibility is that Zhou Chen felt that even if he said such words, it would not affect their relationship, so he said it openly.

She must be more inclined to the latter, so she asked directly.

"It's not my business, it's my parents' business. The textile factory they work for is about to go out of business, so I want to help them buy the textile factory."

Xiang Nanfang listened very carefully. When she heard the first half, she thought Zhou Chen wanted to help his parents find jobs through her father, but when she heard the second half, she was dumbfounded.

"Buy a textile factory. Is that the state-owned textile factory?"

Xiang Nanfang is not a newbie who knows nothing, so he was shocked.

As far as she knew, the textile factory was quite large, and she also knew Zhou Chen's family, which was just an ordinary working class.

Now Zhou Chen actually said that he wanted to acquire a textile factory. Is he sure he is not joking?

"Yes, it's that state-owned textile factory. My parents are not yet of retirement age, so I want to give them the entire business. They have worked in the textile factory for so many years and have feelings for it. I can't bear to see it go bankrupt, so I want to help them buy the textile factory and hand it over to them to manage."

"Zhou Chen, do you know how much that state-owned textile factory is worth? Even if your family is rich, it is a state-owned factory. Do you think it will be sold to a private person?"

Even though he knew that Zhou Chen was very capable, when Xiang Nanfang heard that Zhou Chen wanted to acquire the textile factory, he still thought he was too dreamy.

Zhou Chen didn't explain much. He took out a file bag from his bag and handed it to Xiang Nanfang.

"This is the plan I made. You can take a look at it first. If you think it's okay, please show it to your father. If he is willing to see me after reading it, that would be great. If not, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Add one more condition." Xiang Nanfang said suddenly.

"what?"

Zhou Chen looked shocked.

Xiang Nanfang smiled and said, "I mean, whether my dad sees you or not, you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Zhou Chen said without even thinking: "Okay, what are your conditions?"

"Please let me see a movie."

"it is good."

This was not a condition at all, Zhou Chen agreed immediately. He was not opposed to being with Xiang Nanfang. As for what would happen in the future, why bother thinking so much about it.

Xiang Nanfang smiled suddenly, looked at the file bag in front of him, and asked, "Is this the acquisition plan you made yourself?"

"Correct."

"Can I take a look at it? I really want to know what kind of acquisition plan a medical student would come up with and show it to my dad with such confidence."

If it were someone else, she would feel that she was being fooled, but after seeing Zhou Chen's genius talent, she felt that maybe there really could be a surprise.

She went to Minzu University and did not study economics, but was born in a cadre family and has been influenced by the current situation. She has some understanding of it. Even if she cannot understand the inside, she can still see something from the outside.

Zhou Chen said: "No problem, it's just right for you to take a look at the flaws in my plan. If you can help me improve it, that would be even better."

After getting Zhou Chen's permission, Xiang Nanfang opened the file bag and took out the plan inside.

"Hey, it's quite thick. It looks like you're serious about this."

After expressing my feelings, I opened the plan and read it carefully.

Time passed slowly, with only the sound of Xiang Nanfang turning pages. Xiang Nanfang's expression also changed from careless at the beginning to serious and solemn.

More than half an hour passed before Xiang Nanfang took his eyes off the plan, and then he immediately looked at Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, did you really make this plan? All by yourself?"

"Of course, give me some suggestions."

Looking at Zhou Chen's half-smile, Xiang Nanfang glared at him fiercely.

"You just know how to tease me. Although I'm not an economics major, I can understand a lot from your plan. I can't give you any advice, but I can promise that I will take this plan back to show my dad."

"Thank you, Nan Fang." Zhou Chen said with sincere gratitude.

Xiang Nanfang asked, "But is the content of your plan true? Buying out the textile factory and the workers is no small matter. Are you sure your family can survive? After all, there are thousands of workers."

Zhou Chen said: "So I wrote in my plan that after the acquisition, I will need the district to help with the loan in the early stage. This is also the biggest trouble at present. As long as it can be successful, I am 90% sure that I can revitalize the textile factory."

A textile factory belongs to the manufacturing industry. He has never worked in the textile industry, but he is not unfamiliar with the manufacturing industry. The factory and workers are ready-made. As long as he has start-up capital, making money is not a difficult task for him.

He has management knowledge and advanced concepts that are decades ahead of today's times. He can handle large groups worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars with ease. For him, a small textile factory would only cause some trouble in the early stages.

What's more, he is not planning to manage it himself. He just wants to be a think tank and give advice to his parents.

Xiang Nanfang looked surprised and admiring: "I didn't expect you to have such talent. I think you should serve the people instead of studying medicine."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That's because you haven't seen my medical skills. My medical skills are amazing, and they are no worse than my talent for business."

"You get angry when I say a few words to you. You have only studied medicine for a few years, and you dare to say that you are a great doctor?"

Xiang Nanfang looked disdainful, and said with a roll of his eyes: "But since you said so, then let me see for myself and see if there is anything wrong with me."

"You actually used yourself as a test subject. You are amazing."

Zhou Chen smiled helplessly. He was a professional in asking this question: "If you don't mind, let me take your pulse."

Judging from Xiang Nanfang's complexion, there is nothing wrong. There are no instruments here, so if you want to know more accurately, taking his pulse is naturally the most reliable way.

"bring it on."

Xiang Nanfang stretched out his hand in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen put his fingers on her pulse. Although Xiang Nanfang's hands were very white and smooth, as a professional doctor, he was strictly trained. How could he be deceived by mere beauty?

Seeing that Zhou Chen actually started to take his pulse, Xiang Nanfang immediately smiled, because Zhou Chen really looked a bit like an old Chinese doctor.

Not long after, Zhou Chen let go of his hand.

"How is it, am I sick?"

Xiang Nanfang was very interested in it, as if he had obtained some interesting toy.

"You are sick, mentally ill."
