The world of film and television begins from childhood

Qiao Zuwang immediately complained, "To be honest, I also applied for the job. I thought that since we are all neighbors in Shamao Lane, family members must help each other. It is not easy for your father to manage a factory, so I wanted to help out a little. But who knew that the recruiter would say that I did not meet the requirements?"

At this point, his emotions suddenly became intense: "What do you mean by not meeting the requirements? I, Qiao Zuwang, am a well-known hard-working man in Shamao Lane. Who doesn't know me? Which family in the lane had problems and I didn't go to help? Even the little gangster son of Old Chen's family meets the requirements, why don't I meet the requirements?"

"Zhou Chen, come and judge for me, isn't this unfair treatment?"

Hearing Qiao Zuwang's self-praise, Zhou Chen burst out laughing in his heart. Qiao Zuwang is indeed a celebrity in Shamao Lane, but that is not a good name. You are not even close to being a diligent person...

"Oh, so that's how it is. So why did you come to see me, Uncle Qiao?"

Qiao Zuwang said shamelessly: "I came to you because I want you to help me tell your father that neighbors like us are more reassuring."

"Oh, I see. Uncle Qiao, you want to work at Chenxing, right?"

Qiao Zuwang corrected him, "Yes, I am going to help. You can't just leave a talent like me unused. I don't ask for much. Just let me be a workshop director or warehouse manager."

"dad."

Qiao Sanli couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in dissatisfaction.

Her words not only did not make Qiao Zuwang give up, but instead made Qiao Zuwang's eyes light up.

He smiled and said to Zhou Chen: "Xiao Zhou, what do you think of our Sanli?"

"dad."

Qiao Sanli stamped her feet in anger, "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Chen understood what Qiao Zuwang meant, nodded and said, "Sanli is a good girl, kind, beautiful, and sensible."

"Yeah, yeah, I knew you had good taste. I'm telling you, your uncle, there's no better girl than my daughter in the entire Shamao Lane."

Qiao Zuwang saw that there was a chance, and regardless of his daughter's gaze, he continued, "Sanli is not only a good person, but also a college student from a normal university. Only an outstanding person like you can be worthy of such a good girl."

Qiao Sanli's face was red, she was angry, shy, but mostly angry.

She quickly said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, don't listen to my dad's nonsense. He drank too much today. I will take him back now."

"Who drank too much? I didn't drink too much."

How could Qiao Zuwang miss this great opportunity? He continued to say to Zhou Chen, "Xiao Zhou, in the entire Shamao Lane, I think you are the most capable. If you think my Sanli is good, I, as a father, will immediately make a decision and agree to your relationship. What do you think?"

He had a wishful thinking that as long as Zhou Chen was dating Sanli, he would be Zhou Chen's elder and future father-in-law. With such an identity, when he arrived at Chenxing Textile Factory, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to become a cadre?

As for whether doing so was betraying his daughter, he didn't care at all. After all, he was the one who gave birth to and raised his daughter. Now that she had grown up, she should repay him.

Chapter 495: One Sings the Same Song, Qiao Zuwang Turns Against Him

Qiao Zuwang’s words also shocked Zhou Chen.

He had seen many shameless people, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Qiao Zuwang, who would voluntarily "sacrifice" his daughter in front of her for his work.

A person can be shameless, but not to this extent, right?

Qiao Sanli was so angry that she was fuming. It was true that she liked Zhou Chen, but she had never thought of using this method to date Zhou Chen.

How could she hold her head up in front of Zhou Chen after Qiao Zuwang did this?

"Dad, you are simply crazy. Brother Zhou Chen, don't listen to my dad. He is just drunk and talking nonsense."

Qiao Zuwang didn't dare to say harsh words to Zhou Chen, but he was very fierce to his own daughter.

"You little girl, I'm looking for a good in-law for you. The Zhou family is the best family in Shamao Lane. Zhou Chen is the top scholar and is now studying for a degree. He will be a big leader in the future. It's your blessing to be able to date them. Don't be ungrateful for what you have."

Qiao Sanli was so angry that she couldn't speak. She knew how unreliable her father was, but she never expected that he would say such shameless words one after another while she was still standing there.

But no matter how hateful Qiao Zuwang was, he was her father after all. She really couldn't say anything unpleasant, but she was so angry that tears were streaming down her face.

Seeing Qiao Sanli crying out of anger, Zhou Chen was furious.

He did not fall in love at first sight with Qiao Sanli, but the two had known each other for ten years, so it was no exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts.

Moreover, they both understood what the other meant, but because they were all in school, they didn't show it.

Anyway, in Zhou Chen's heart, he had already regarded Qiao Sanli as his woman, so he couldn't bear to see his woman being humiliated, even if the person who bullied her was her father, he couldn't tolerate it.

However, no matter how angry he was, he would not let his anger cloud his reason. After all, Qiao Zuwang was Sanli's father, and his relationship with Sanli was not so close that Sanli could ignore Qiao Zuwang.

"Uncle Qiao, you really have a keen eye. I do have a crush on Sanli, and I have thought about pursuing her after she graduates from Sanli University."

Hearing this, Qiao Zuwang's eyes narrowed with laughter. Since this kid said so, it proved that today's matter was accomplished.

If you fall in love with my daughter, then I am like your father-in-law. As your father-in-law, do you dare to disobey him?

As for Qiao Sanli, she was originally angry and aggrieved, but after hearing Zhou Chen's words, she was immediately moved.

She knew that she had deep feelings for Zhou Chen, and she also knew that Zhou Chen was very good to her, but she had never seen Zhou Chen express it openly.

Now that Zhou Chen said this in front of her father, he must have meant it sincerely, which made her heart full of joy and shyness.

"Xiao Zhou, you have good taste. You really have good taste. Our Sanli is definitely the best choice because she is smart, sensible, hardworking, docile, and a good wife and mother."

At the beginning, he still called Zhou Chen's name politely, but after confirming that Zhou Chen had feelings for his daughter, he immediately changed the name from Zhou Chen to Xiao Zhou.

From this we can see that this person is really taking advantage of the situation and trying to take advantage of the situation.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Qiao is right." Zhou Chen agreed repeatedly.

Although it was strange to talk to his future father-in-law face to face about this kind of thing, Zhou Chen still did it. He would have to do so in the future anyway.

Qiao Zuwang was already full of confidence. He laughed and said, "Xiao Zhou, is there any problem with my work?"

"what?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and asked: "Work? What kind of work?"

Qiao Zuwang got anxious when he heard this: "It's about joining Chenxing Textile Factory as an official? I don't want to be a deputy factory director or a manager. I just want to be a workshop director and warehouse manager. This should be a piece of cake for you, right?"

Zhou Chen looked bitter: "Uncle Qiao, I definitely want to help with this matter, but you also know that I am just a medical student. Although the factory is opened by my father, he does not have the final say on matters such as recruitment."

"Besides, if you go to the factory and people know about my relationship with Sanli, they will definitely gossip about you behind your back."

"That's not right. Uncle Qiao, you are a well-known hardworking and honest man in our Shamao Lane. If people talk about you behind your back, it would be an insult to your reputation. This is absolutely not allowed."

Hey, didn't you say you were a hard-working person? Then I'll use that to stop you.

Qiao Zuwang suddenly looked constipated, and cursed Zhou Chen in his heart for being tactless. He wished that someone would know about the affair between Zhou Chen and his daughter. If so, he would be able to walk around the Chenxing Textile Factory with ease in the future.

Fame? Fame is shit.

He wanted to refute Zhou Chen, but when he thought about what he had just said, if he refuted at this time, he would be slapping himself in the face.

He wanted both the job and face, especially in front of his daughter and 'future son-in-law'.

So he said carefully: "Then you can let me in first, and then you can make your relationship public in two years. Anyway, you are both in school now, and the country advocates late marriage and late childbirth, so it won't hinder your good fortune."

Zhou Chen was too tired to complain when someone said such things.

Qiao Sanli said angrily: "Dad, can you stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."

Qiao Zuwang was also angry and said, "You kid, why do I want to find a job? It's because of you little brats. Look at your eldest brother, he's in his twenties and he doesn't work. He just studies. Your second brother lost his good job and now he has trouble supporting himself. And you, your college tuition..."

"Dad, my college tuition is free, and the rest of the expenses are all paid by myself doing odd jobs."

Qiao Sanli didn't give her father any face at all and exposed Qiao Zuwang's lies on the spot, making Qiao Zuwang look embarrassed.

"Okay, you're awesome. I won't tell you, I'll tell Xiao Zhou."

Then, he said to Zhou Chen pitifully: "Xiao Zhou, you are still young, you may not understand your uncle. Sanli's mother passed away early, and I raised five children by myself. It was hard. Why do I make money? Isn't it to give my children a good future?"

"Look, I'm already so old, and I'm about to retire. If it weren't for my children, why would I still work and suffer at this age? But my youngest son, Qiqi, is only thirteen years old this year. Can I not make money? I also have several sons who want to get married, and my daughters who want to get married, all of which require money..."

He talked a lot and Zhou Chen was so angry that he thought, if Qiao Zuwang was in a certain position a few decades later, he would be able to get a good position just based on his eloquence.

After talking for about seven or eight minutes, Qiao Zuwang finally asked Zhou Chen with tears in his eyes, "Xiao Zhou, do you understand my pain?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help but nodded: "I understand, Uncle Qiao, it's really not easy for you."

When he said this, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"What about work?" Qiao Zuwang brought the topic back again.

Zhou Chen was silent for a while. Seeing Qiao Sanli shaking her head at him, he winked at her calmly before speaking.

"Uncle Qiao, no matter what, I can't let you be gossiped about, but what you said makes sense. For the sake of the children, I have an idea. Do you think it's okay?"

"Say, you say."

Qiao Zuwang felt that Zhou Chen might be moved by him and would find him a good job soon, and good days would be coming in the future.

Zhou Chen said, "Uncle Qiao, what you just said makes sense. At your age, you are about to retire. It is not appropriate for you to work again. Besides, your children, Erqiang and Simei, are all working, and Yicheng will probably be there soon. I think your good days are coming."

As Qiao Zuwang listened, he felt something was not right, but he couldn't tell why, so he continued to listen patiently.

"It is the duty of children to be filial to their parents, Uncle Qiao. Here is what I think. Why don't I use my connections to get Erqiang and Simei to work at Chenxing Textile Factory? When they make money, they will definitely be filial to you. Then you won't have to work so hard, and you will have children who are filial to you. Everyone will be happy. What do you think?"

"I don't think so..."

Qiao Zuwang was about to burst into a curse, but suddenly realized that he was begging for help, so he swallowed the second half of his words.

He said dryly, "This is not good. Erqiang has a job now, and Simei is also looking for a job. They are still young and hardworking. Working in a factory can easily lead to depravity. They should try their luck in society. Forget about them. Let me, your old father, do this hard work."

"Uncle Qiao, I understand what you mean, but young people should suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness. Erqiang and Simei are still young, they are definitely not afraid of hardship. Sanli, what do you think?"

Zhou Chen's sudden proposal left Sanli's head still fuzzy. When she heard Zhou Chen's question, she immediately reacted.

"Yes, Brother Zhou Chen is right. Dad, I think it's a good idea to let Second Brother and Fourth Beauty go to the factory to gain some experience. You can just enjoy your life at home."

"I……"

Qiao Sanli did not give Qiao Zuwang a chance to speak and interrupted him directly, "Dad, we are all your children. We should be filial to you. When my elder brother and I both work, we will definitely be filial to you. You have worked hard all your life, and it is time for you to enjoy your life."

Qiao Zuwang felt a lump in his throat and was completely confused. He didn't know what to say.

Zhou Chen laughed. The simple and kind-hearted Sanli actually learned to take advantage of the situation. She was forced into this by her old father.

So he added fuel to the fire: "Uncle Qiao, I know you are worried about Erqiang and Simei. Don't worry, I will definitely find them an easy job according to your requirements. I will never let them suffer or get tired."

For him, this is actually a very good opportunity to complete the task.

His side quest is to change the tragedy of the Qiao family. If he recruits Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei to Chenxing Textile Factory, can he change their fate?

No matter what, he had to give it a try. What's more, this would also make things difficult for Qiao Zuwang, which was really the perfect thing to do.

Qiao Zuwang felt so uncomfortable with Zhou Chen and Sanli's singing of the same tune that even the tea in his cup tasted bland.

Standing up suddenly, Qiao Zuwang said with a dark face: "Xiao Zhou, you are thoughtful."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Xiao Zhou, you and Sanli are still studying now. I think you should study hard now and don't learn from those bad youths who date randomly. Sanli, go home quickly and don't go to other people's houses casually in the future, especially when you are alone."

After saying this, he left the Zhou family.

He was not a fool. How could he not see the cooperation between Zhou Chen and Sanli? Zhou Chen deliberately did not give him a job and even blocked him by finding jobs for his children. This made him very unhappy, so he warned Zhou Chen in the end.

Zhou Chen just smiled disdainfully, and Sanli said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhou Chen, I'm really sorry for today."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, this is not your problem, and what I just said was sincere."

Qiao Sanli's face suddenly turned red. She knew what Zhou Chen was talking about, so she whispered, "Brother Zhou Chen, I believe you. Don't worry about what my father said. No one among us brothers and sisters will listen to him."

"Yeah, I know. Go back quickly, or your dad will scold you again."

"Okay, Brother Zhou Chen, I'll go back first and I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

…………

After sending Qiao Zuwang away, Zhou Chen no longer felt sleepy, so he changed his clothes and turned out.

Not long after I walked onto the street, I suddenly saw Qiao Yicheng walking towards me.

"Qiao Yicheng."

When Qiao Yicheng saw Zhou Chen, he also walked over and said, "Zhou Chen, how come you have time to come back today?"

The two of them kept in touch and knew that each other lived in the school.

"The teacher gave me a vacation for a while, so I came back to have a rest."

Qiao Yicheng said enviously, "You are really good. I have never seen anyone study for a master's or doctorate degree as easily as you do."

"What do you mean by easy? What I do is more tiring than studying. Sometimes I am so busy that I can't sleep all day and all night."
