The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen's face was serious. He had encountered this kind of situation many times in the workplace, but he had always dealt with others before.

"Manager Yang, don't be angry. We will educate Simei, but as you said, she is still young and it is normal for her to be impatient."

Manager Yang said, "Mr. Zhou, actually there are some things I shouldn't say, but for your sake, I'll tell you the truth. The man with Simei is from the production workshop. I asked someone to find out, and he is not a good match."

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli's expressions changed slightly, and Qiao Sanli asked anxiously: "Manager Yang, please speak more carefully."

Manager Yang said in a deep voice, "The man with Simei is called Shaoyang. He has worked in the factory for two years. He is covering for his father. His father is already a veteran employee of our factory. He had worked for more than ten years when he was in Guoxing. He stayed after the company was acquired by Mr. Zhou. But later he had an accident and could not continue to work. So the factory let his son take his place."

"How should I put it? Shao Yang is a bit famous in the production workshop because he is tall and handsome. He is very popular with the girls in the factory. He has worked in the factory for two years and has attracted a lot of attention. He is not an honest person and has caused some trouble. But because of his father, the factory did not pursue the matter."

"I don't know how Simei ended up with him. She was actually quite honest before, but after being with Shaoyang, she started to not work seriously. I think Shaoyang influenced her."

She had already said it very tactfully, but Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli both heard other meanings.

It takes two to tango. How could this matter be entirely the man's fault? Qiao Simei must also have a great responsibility. People just don't say anything because they are giving her face.

Qiao Sanli was even more furious. She did not object to her sister's relationship, but she could not tolerate her sister finding a dishonest man, and relying on Zhou Chen's relationship, she did not work seriously and just slacked off at Chenxing Textile Factory.

Zhou Chen reached out and held Qiao Sanli's hands, then smiled and said to Manager Yang: "Manager Yang, I understand your worry. So, I will ask for a few days' leave for Qiao Simei and take her back to educate her."

Manager Yang would certainly not object. She had this intention in mind when she asked Zhou Chen to come over.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry to have to ask you to come all the way here just for this matter."

Zhou Chen said: "It should be, it's all for the good of Chenxing. With a responsible leader like you, our Chenxing business will become bigger and stronger."

"Mr. Zhou, you are joking. Compared with you and Mr. Zhou, I am just a pawn."

Although he is more than a generation older than Zhou Chen, Manager Yang spoke very fluently and frankly, and it can be seen that he has a high emotional intelligence.

Zhou Chen: "Then we'll take Qiao Simei away first, Manager Yang."

"Then take care, Mr. Zhou."

Qiao Sanli glared at Qiao Simei, who kept her head down and said nothing, and shouted, "Why don't you leave now?"

Only then did Qiao Simei take her small steps, follow Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli, and slowly leave the office.

Chapter 504: The Ungrateful Qiao Simei

Seven o'clock in the evening, Qiao's house!

The dining table in the main hall of the Qiao family was now full of people, including the four siblings of the Qiao family and Zhou Chen.

Qiao Simei sat near the door, lowered her head and dared not say a word, shaking her hands, while the other people were staring at her.

Qiao Yicheng looked unhappy, Qiao Sanli looked serious, and only Qiao Erqiang looked at Qiao Simei with worry. He wanted to speak, but did not dare to because of his eldest brother's majesty.

Qiao Yicheng, who had been silent for a long time, looked at his sister with disappointment and slammed the table.

"Qiao Simei, you can do such a shameful thing, what else do you have to say?"

Qiao Simei lowered her head and whispered, "I'm just in love, how can I be embarrassed?"

"It's embarrassing to cause rumors to spread all over the office, isn't it?"

In Qiao Yicheng's opinion, Qiao Simei was just embarrassing herself.

"I don't object to you dating, but because of your relationship, you don't work hard, and you even use your connections to cheat. Especially your boyfriend, you didn't even know who he is, but you dared to date him, Qiao Simei, don't you have a brain?"

Qiao Simei, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head and said to Qiao Yicheng very seriously, "Brother, Shaoyang is not as bad as they say. He is a very good person, handsome and cheerful. I am very happy to be with him. If you get to know him, you will definitely think he is very good."

"What a fart!"

Qiao Yicheng was furious and yelled at Qiao Simei, "You said he was good, but why do others say he is bad? Do you think you are the only one who is smart and has eyes, and everyone else is stupid and blind? Zhou Chen, tell her what kind of person Shao Yang is."

Suddenly, everyone's attention shifted to Zhou Chen. Before notifying Qiao Yicheng to come back, he had already sent someone to inquire about the situation in Shaoyang.

He is the eldest son of Chenxing. As soon as he spoke, someone quickly told him a summary of Shaoyang's experience. Although it was not in detail, he knew the general idea.

Zhou Chen touched his nose and said, "Simei, your elder brother is right. This Shaoyang is really not a good person. I have asked someone to investigate him."

But who knew that when Qiao Simei heard this, she interrupted directly: "Brother Zhou Chen, who asked you to investigate Shao Yang? What qualifications do you have to investigate him?"

Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned bad. Did Qiao Simei's brain get damaged by love? He didn't dare to confront Qiao Yicheng, but argued with him in a dissatisfied tone. It's not an exaggeration to say that his kindness was taken as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Qiao Simei."

"Four beauties."

Seeing that Qiao Simei, who had made a mistake, actually started arguing with Zhou Chen, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli both scolded him angrily, and even Qiao Erqiang frowned.

Qiao Erqiang is a relatively simple and honest person. Zhou Chen helped him find an easy and well-paid job, and he was truly grateful. So when he saw that Simei was treating Zhou Chen badly, he was very angry.

Qiao Sanli looked at Zhou Chen apologetically. Although Zhou Chen was very angry, he did not lose his temper on the spot. However, he really felt disgusted with Qiao Simei.

Qiao Simei was not ugly and he usually called him brother, so he had a pretty good impression of Qiao Simei before.

But now, he had lost all his good feelings towards Qiao Simei. No matter what, he had helped Qiao Simei so much. Even if he was helping with the investigation, it was for her own good.

As a result, Qiao Simei vented her dissatisfaction towards him. Damn it, don't say any nonsense like it was a momentary loss of composure.

They have known each other for ten years, and he has helped the Qiao family a lot, but now he is even worse than a man he just met. To put it bluntly, he really has no conscience.

Now he finally felt that the task issued by the system was very stupid. If he were to face this situation every day after integrating into the Qiao family, he would be so angry that he would die.

Qiao Yicheng pointed at Qiao Simei angrily and yelled, "Qiao Simei, how did you become like this? What qualifications do you have to talk to Zhou Chen like that? I asked him to investigate that man. Do you want to blame me too?"

Qiao Simei: "I'm sorry, big brother, brother Zhou Chen, I didn't mean that. I just think that you can't just investigate others casually just because you have connections. This is immoral."

Zhou Chen almost laughed at this. Why didn't he say something like this when he used his connections to help her find a job?

Now I just checked her boyfriend, and it's really disgusting that she used such words to shut him up.

Qiao Yicheng was also very angry. "Qiao Simei, I think you are really out of your mind. Even now, you still haven't realized your mistakes. Who are we doing all this for?"

"Brother, let's put things in perspective. I can make my own decision about what happens between me and Shao Yang. If it really affects the factory, I can just resign and leave."

"boom!"

Qiao Yicheng slammed the table suddenly, stood up, pointed at Qiao Simei and cursed.

"Qiao Simei, you, you, cough cough..."

Qiao Yicheng, who wanted to curse loudly, suddenly couldn't catch his breath, and his chest was blocked and he started coughing violently.

"Big brother."

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Erqiang were shocked, and Qiao Simei also looked nervous.

It took a long time for Qiao Yicheng to recover. He endured the pain in his chest and stared at Qiao Simei fiercely.

"Simei, you really disappoint me. You really disappoint me."

"For a scumbag, you can actually say such things. Do you know who Shao Yang is?"

"This guy didn't even graduate from junior high school. He was expelled because his parents found him at school and made a scene. After being expelled, he became a gangster and extorted money from students. Even when he was at Chenxing Textile Factory, he still caused trouble and had improper relationships with many women."

"You actually treat this kind of person as a treasure, Qiao Simei, I think not only your brain is broken, but even your eyes are blind."

Qiao Erqiang was stunned: "Ah? Is Shaoyang really that kind of person?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yicheng immediately turned to look at him: "You also know about Simei?"

Qiao Erqiang stammered, "I know."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Qiao Yicheng suddenly roared.

"I just thought that Simei was pursuing her own happiness, and I didn't expect things to be so serious."

Qiao Yicheng pointed at him and said, "You are really great. You only know how to pamper her. If she really makes a big mistake one day, I'll see what you will do."

Qiao Erqiang naturally didn't dare to refute and lowered his head in silence.

Qiao Yicheng ignored him and continued to point at Qiao Simei, warning her: "Qiao Simei, I want you to cut off all contact with that man immediately. Do you hear me?"

He thought that Qiao Simei would come to her senses after knowing Shaoyang's true face, but he had misjudged his youngest sister.

Qiao Simei also shouted loudly: "Why? I won't. Even if what you said is true, that is Shaoyang's past. The past is over. We have to look to the future. I will not break up with Shaoyang because of this, even if I don't want the job anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Zhou Chen was shocked. He already knew the truth, but he was still stubborn and refused to change his mind. This was no longer naive, this was mentally retarded, right?

Qiao Yicheng and his two siblings were also dumbfounded. They all looked at Qiao Simei in disbelief, their brains unable to react.

"Simei, what did you say?" Qiao Erqiang asked in disbelief.

Qiao Simei gritted her teeth and said firmly: "I will resign tomorrow. Even if I don't have this job, as long as Shaoyang and I can be together, we won't starve to death."

After saying that, she ignored everyone's gazes, picked up her bag, turned around and ran out.

At this time, Qiao Yicheng finally reacted. He roared angrily: "Qiao Simei, if you have the guts, don't come back. If you dare to be with that man again, you are not my sister, nor a member of the Qiao family."

Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli hurriedly chased after them, leaving only Zhou Chen and Qiao Yicheng in the room.

After a long while, Qiao Yicheng apologized to Zhou Chen with an apologetic look on his face.

"Zhou Chen, I'm sorry. Simei is still young. Don't take her words to heart. I will educate her well."

What Qiao Simei said today was really too much. Even he, her eldest brother, couldn't stand it. He was afraid that Zhou Chen would dislike Qiao Simei and really let Qiao Simei resign. He was even more worried that Qiao Simei's affairs would affect the relationship and feelings between Zhou Chen and Sanli.

"It's ok."

Zhou Chen shook his head to indicate that he was not angry. He was indeed very unhappy just now, but it didn't matter now. Since Qiao Simei wanted to jump into the fire pit herself, why should he meddle in other people's business?

The side quest is to let him change the future of the Qiao family, but this is not a task that must be completed. Just based on Qiao Simei's actions today, he is not going to care about it anymore.

He can't do anything like trying to please someone who doesn't like him.

As for Qiao Yicheng talking about educating Qiao Simei, he just laughed. Having watched the TV series, he naturally knew that Qiao Yicheng was not convinced by Qiao Simei at all, otherwise Qiao Simei's ending in the original novel would not have been so tragic.

After a while, Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli came back.

"Where is Qiao Simei?"

"I didn't catch up, brother, is Simei okay?"

Qiao Erqiang looked worried. He was the most sentimental member of the Qiao family and cared about his sister very much.

Qiao Yicheng snorted coldly: "Something happened? What could happen to her? She must have lost her way and found that scumbag."

Qiao Sanli said worriedly: "Brother, we still have to persuade Simei. That guy is a scumbag. It will not end well for Simei to follow him."

"If she's determined, do you think we can convince her?"

Qiao Yicheng was still rational. Thinking about all the bad things Qiao Simei had done since she was a child, he understood that it was impossible for them, the brothers and sisters, to convince Qiao Simei.

"What should we do? We can't just watch her fall into the abyss." Qiao Sanli was even more worried.

Qiao Yicheng thought for a moment, then said, "Zhou Chen, do you know the home address of that scumbag? Since you can't convince Simei, then go talk to that scumbag."

He was determined to resolve this matter. Just as Qiao Sanli said, he couldn't just watch his little sister suffer a tragic end.

Zhou Chen told Shao Yang's home address, and then Qiao Yicheng left home in a hurry, apparently planning to go for the talk late at night.

Qiao Erqiang was a little worried and followed after him.

"Zhou Chen, will big brother and the others be okay?"

"Don't worry, your eldest brother is very smart, and with Erqiang following him, nothing will happen."

Zhou Chen was not very optimistic about Qiao Yicheng going to Shaoyang's house. He could tell at first glance that Shaoyang was very slippery, and Qiao Yicheng was a serious man. There was probably no hope if he just relied on words.

Qiao Sanli: "Zhou Chen, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. Simei was really too much. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Do you think I'm so stingy? Don't worry, I won't be angry, but you should still have a good talk with her. If she really doesn't want to work in the factory anymore, I will help her resign. Otherwise, if she continues to work forcibly, she will definitely not feel happy."

Qiao Sanli was still understanding. She understood what Zhou Chen meant. He didn't want to drive Qiao Simei away, but was afraid that things would get worse.

"I understand. When Big Brother and the others come back, we will discuss it carefully."

Zhou Chen did not stay in the Qiao family for long. After spending some time with Qiao Sanli, he left.

A few days later, on the weekend, Zhou Chen had dinner with Qiao Sanli again and only then did he find out what had happened to Qiao Simei.

Just yesterday, Qiao Simei resigned from her job at Chenxing Textile Factory. For this, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Zuwang both scolded Qiao Simei, but even so, it did not change Qiao Simei's determination.

Even Qiao Simei has not returned home or to the dormitory in the past few days, and has disappeared since she resigned.

For this reason, Qiao Yicheng was furious, because when he went to Shaoyang's house to negotiate that day, the family didn't follow his wishes.

But what Zhou Chen didn't expect was that two days later, he suddenly received a call. Before he had time to speak after answering the phone, he heard Qiao Simei's questioning.
