The world of film and television begins from childhood

This is indeed the case. If he hadn't had to go to school, Zhou Jianguo would definitely have let him manage Chenxing.

"Really? Don't lie to me just to comfort me, okay?"

Qiao Sanli was a little skeptical. She knew Zhou Chen was very smart, but was it really his credit that Chenxing Textile Factory could grow and develop?

Zhou Chen answered affirmatively: "How could I lie to you? It's true. Don't you still believe me?"

"I believe you, it's just a little unbelievable."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was so sure, Qiao Sanli no longer doubted him. She just thought that Zhou Chen was amazing and knew so much.

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "You will know more about my power in the future."

Qiao Sanli didn't understand why, but when she saw Zhou Chen's mischievous smile, she always felt something was wrong.

The movie they watched today was a love movie from Hong Kong Island, starring some of Hong Kong Island's biggest stars.

Zhou Chen also learned about the entertainment industry in this world. It should be because it is a parallel world. There are some stars he knows, but there are also many stars he doesn’t know.

The superstar leading actor in today's movie is not anyone he knows, but someone he only knew after he came to this world.

It’s true that although the plot of this Hong Kong love movie seems old-fashioned to Zhou Chen, the story connection is pretty good and the performances of the leading actors are also outstanding, so the whole movie looks very good and can be regarded as a movie of excellent quality.

Even he thought it was good. Qiao Sanli, who seldom watched movies, was naturally even more amazed. She was attracted by the plot of the movie throughout and watched it very seriously. She didn't even notice that her little hand was held by Zhou Chen.

Even after the movie ended, Qiao Sanli felt a little unsatisfied, and then she found that her hand was actually held by Zhou Chen.

"ah!"

She woke up in shock and tried to shrink back, but was grabbed by Zhou Chen.

"What are you doing? Let go of me." Qiao Sanli looked shy. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to actually hit her.

However, Zhou Chen still held on tightly and looked at her seriously.

"No, not now, and never in the future. I want to hold your hand for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Qiao Sanli became even more shy, her face flushed: "You, why are you saying this?"

Today Zhou Chen invited her to see a movie. She was very happy because she felt that Zhou Chen was going to officially pursue her.

But the sudden confession still caught her off guard.

Zhou Chen held her hand tightly and said softly, "After so many years, Sanli, you should understand my feelings. I didn't confess before because you were still in school and I was afraid of delaying your studies. But now you are in college, I don't think we need to wait any longer. Let's start dating officially from now on, okay?"

"me……"

Qiao Sanli's mind was in a mess, with only two words lingering in her mind: dating, dating, dating...

Zhou Chen was not in a hurry and waited patiently. Although they had already had feelings for each other before, not saying it out loud and saying it out loud are two completely different concepts.

But Qiao Sanli didn't think about it for too long. After a few seconds, she nodded shyly.

"Ah."

Zhou Chen was overjoyed. He pulled Qiao Sanli up, then held her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Sanli, I like you. From today on, you are my girlfriend."

"Brother Zhou Chen, I like you too. I fell in love with you a long, long time ago."

The fact that the introverted Qiao Sanli could say such straightforward words was enough to show how much she liked him in her heart.

"I understand, Sanli, don't worry, I..."

"Hey, why don't you two leave? I need to clean up."

In this warm moment, someone just interrupted at an inopportune time.

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Qiao Sanli shyly pushed Zhou Chen away, glanced at the old lady standing not far away, her face flushed.

Zhou Chen's face was full of helplessness. This old lady really had no vision.

"Come on, let's go out."

After leaving the cinema, they did not get in the car, but came to a park not far from the cinema. They held hands and strolled on the road in the park.

Chemical pollution at that time was not as serious as it is in later generations. The trees in the park were growing very well and the air was filled with fragrance. I don’t know what kind of flowers they were that were so fragrant.

"Brother Zhou Chen, have you really decided to date me?" Qiao Sanli asked a little anxiously.

Zhou Chen said: "I should be the one asking this question. I was the one who confessed to you first."

Qiao Sanli: "I just feel that I am so ordinary, you are so outstanding, and your family is so good, I don't think I am worthy of you."

Zhou Chen: "That's not the way to say it. Love knows no reason or distinction between high and low. As long as you know that you like me and I like you, that's enough."

"really?"

"Of course, no matter who you trust, you must trust me. I won't lie to you."

"Brother Zhou Chen, I heard from my eldest brother that you are going to send the second brother and the fourth sister to the Chenxing Textile Factory tomorrow?"

"Well, I've already told you, I've made an agreement with your eldest brother that he will go with me tomorrow. After all, it's the first day of work, and I have to stand up for your brother and sister."

"Isn't this bad?"

"It doesn't matter, it's okay, trust me."

Zhou Chen said with a smile, in his eyes, using connections was the most normal thing.

Chapter 500: Weird Qiao Zuwang

Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli sat and played in the park for more than an hour, and it was already past five in the afternoon.

"Zhou Chen, we should go back."

After becoming Zhou Chen's girlfriend, Qiao Sanli's way of addressing Zhou Chen also changed. She no longer called him brother as before, but directly called Zhou Chen by his name.

Zhou Chen didn't care about Qiao Sanli's change of address, but he felt reluctant to let her go back when she said she wanted to go back. He really liked this kind of plain, sweet and sticky love.

"Are you going back now? Why don't we go have dinner together? We just started dating today, so we have to be romantic."

Qiao Sanli smiled shyly: "My eldest brother asked me to go back early."

"Qiao Yicheng? Why are you listening to him? He's a bachelor, what does he know? I'll take you home after dinner."

"Well, that's fine."

In fact, Qiao Sanli also wanted to stay with Zhou Chen for a while longer, but her elder brother asked her to be reserved, so she felt embarrassed. But now that Zhou Chen had said so, she felt that she would be very sorry to Zhou Chen if she did not agree.

"Great, I'll take you to a very nice western restaurant."

"Ah? A Western restaurant, but I don't know how to eat Western food."

Qiao Sanli is also in college now. She has never eaten pork, but she has seen pigs run, so she naturally knows what a Western restaurant is like.

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay if you don't know how to eat. Western restaurants are not that high-end. If you don't know how to eat, I can help you and teach you how to eat."

Under Zhou Chen's persuasion, Qiao Sanli had no choice but to agree, and the two drove to the city.

On the way to the city, Qiao Sanli was surprised to see the tall buildings in the city: "Are the buildings in the city so tall? Aren't they afraid to live on such high floors?"

"People who are afraid will not buy high-rise buildings. Living on a high floor is not necessarily dangerous, and living on the ground floor is not necessarily safe. The building is designed to be so high that it is still safe to a certain extent."

A few decades later, young people want to buy high-rise buildings because they are quieter and cleaner. On the contrary, the older generation prefers the lower floors, the biggest reason being safety.

Qiao Sanli said: "I still prefer to live in a shorter house."

The two quickly arrived in the city. Zhou Chen found a larger Western restaurant and drove there.

Nowadays, Western restaurants tend to order food based on the customer. When they saw Zhou Chen driving over, the receptionist outside quickly went over to greet him.

Zhou Chen stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, took Qiao Sanli out of the car, and handed the car keys and a ten-yuan receipt to the parking attendant.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

The parking boy was beaming with joy. It was a pleasant surprise that he could get ten dollars for parking a car. It was more than his daily salary.

Qiao Sanli followed Zhou Chen into the restaurant and was amazed at how skillfully he talked to people.

This was the first time she saw Zhou Chen in this state. He looked so graceful and handsome.

It wasn't until she sat down with Zhou Chen that she reacted.

"Zhou Chen, isn't it too wasteful to give a ten-dollar tip just for parking the car?"

Zhou Chen knew that Qiao Sanli was used to being frugal, and she must feel bad to see him spending so lavishly, so he consoled her, "If you tip them, their service will be better, and they will definitely check the car more carefully to ensure there won't be any problems at all."

"Oh, it just feels like a bit too much."

She muttered something, then took the menu Zhou Chen handed her, opened it, and took a breath.

Just as she was about to exclaim, she saw the waiter standing next to her. She could only control her emotions and handed the menu to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, you order."

Zhou Chen took it with a smile. He knew what Qiao Sanli was thinking. He brought her here today with the intention of broadening her horizons and showing her the world.

Although it was the 1990s, he did not think of living a hard life. Now that he had money, he enjoyed himself.

He was hoping to marry Qiao Sanli, so naturally he wanted to raise Qiao Sanli's ideas and concepts to a certain level, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of trivial things in their future life.

After Zhou Chen finished ordering and the waiter left, Qiao Sanli whispered, "Zhou Chen, this is too expensive. I see that what you just ordered must cost several hundred yuan. What a waste."

Zhou Chen said affectionately: "It's not a waste. I'm willing to spend any amount of money to have dinner with you."

The sudden love words made Qiao Sanli's heart jump, and she said shyly: "Why are you saying these things in public? It's too embarrassing."

"It's embarrassing to say this, Sanli, I'm really happy that you agreed to be my girlfriend. Not to mention a dinner, I'm willing to give you the best things in the world."

"But, this is such a waste, Zhou Chen, as long as I can eat with you, even if it's just plain food, I'm willing to do it."

"I know, but I just want to give you the best. You don't have to feel pressured. The money I spend with you is all earned by my own ability. I didn't use a penny from my parents."

Qiao Sanli was surprised when she heard this: "You earned it yourself? Aren't you still in school? When did you earn the money?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "In this world, if you want to make money, you don't have to work. Over the years, the scholarships I received from the school alone are already quite a lot. I have also published many professional papers, many of which have won awards. Although not much, it is still a sum. There are other things, etc. In short, don't worry, I am a first-generation rich."

Qiao Sanli's eyes sparkled with stars when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Chen in admiration: "Zhou Chen, you are so amazing."

"So, just relax and don't feel pressured. If you feel bad about it, just wait until you marry me and serve me well."

"Hate it, who said I was going to marry you?"

Qiao Sanli looked at Zhou Chen charmingly. After Zhou Chen's guidance, she felt much better and was no longer as worried and inferior as before.

After the meal arrived, Zhou Chen helped Qiao Sanli prepare it, while Qiao Sanli looked at Zhou Chen tenderly, her heart filled with sweetness.

The meal took more than an hour, and then we took a walk around the city before returning to Shamao Lane.

When Qiao Sanli returned home, she was greeted by her elder brother Qiao Yicheng.

"Why did you come back only now?"

Qiao Yicheng asked dissatisfiedly, while Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei stood behind and made faces at Sanli.

Facing the stern Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Sanli shrank her neck and said, "Zhou Chen and I went to the city to eat."

"Going to the city for dinner?"

Qiao Yicheng frowned: "Do we have to go to the city just to have a meal?"

"We went to a Western restaurant." Qiao Sanli confessed honestly.

"Yeah, a western restaurant."

Qiao Simei jumped over from behind and asked excitedly, "Sister, is this one of those high-end Western restaurants? What did you eat? Was it delicious?"

Qiao Sanli thought for a moment and replied, "It is indeed quite high-end. The meal cost several hundred yuan, and the taste is not bad."

"A few hundred dollars?"

The three siblings of the Qiao family all widened their eyes. To them, a few hundred yuan was not a small amount of money, but it was only worth a meal?

Qiao Yicheng even cursed: "This Zhou Chen is too corrupt. Ten years ago, he should have..."

While Qiao Yicheng was muttering, Qiao Sanli quickly ran into her room. She didn't dare to say anything to her eldest brother, otherwise he would scold her.

Back in the room, Qiao Simei pulled Qiao Sanli aside and kept asking what she and Zhou Chen did today, what movies they watched, and what delicious food they ate...

The next morning, Zhou Chen came to the Qiao family's yard and knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom."
