The world of film and television begins from childhood

Qiao Qiqi is also sixteen years old, which is actually not considered young. In this era, it is common for sixteen or seventeen-year-olds to be apprentices.

It’s just that Qi Weimin couldn’t bear to let Qiao Qiqi do hard labor. He always wanted Qiao Qiqi to have a good diploma so that he could find an easy job in the future.

It has to be said that in this matter, Qi Weimin is definitely the person who cares about Qiao Qiqi the most.

Zhou Chen looked at the quiet Qiao Qiqi. He also had a good impression of this young man who didn't talk much.

Having watched the TV series, he knows that this young man is actually a sentimental child. At the end of the plot, he is able to donate a kidney to Qiao Yicheng, with whom he does not have a deep relationship. After the woman runs away, he is able to raise his children wholeheartedly and even take care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. This is not something that everyone can do.

At least compared to the ungrateful Qiao Simei, Qiao Qiqi is definitely worthy of pity.

Thinking of Qiao Qiqi's tragic ending, he felt that he had the responsibility to change Qiao Qiqi's ending so that he would not be as tragic as in the TV series.

"Weimin, if you feel relieved, let Qiqi go to the Medical University and I will make some arrangements for him."

Zhou Chen's words shocked Qi Weimin, and he asked hopefully, "Can Qiqi go to medical university? He just graduated from junior high school."

Zhou Chen said, "It's definitely impossible to get a diploma from the Medical University, but I'm very familiar with the leaders of the Medical University. If I ask for favors, I can let Qiqi go as an auditor. It just so happens that I'm going to work at the Medical University, so I can take Qiqi with me as an assistant and let him learn some medical knowledge. Even if he doesn't work at the Medical University in the future, he can still work in the hospital pharmacy."

Qi Weimin was overjoyed. He was worried that no one would take care of Qiao Qiqi. It would be best if Zhou Chen was willing to help.

Medical University is a first-class university. Even if you don't have a diploma, studying there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, with Zhou Chen's identity, he must have a high status working in the Medical University. With Zhou Chen watching over her, Qiao Qiqi will definitely not suffer any grievances.

At least it is much better than going to vocational school, technical secondary school, etc.

"If that's really possible, thank you very much."

Zhou Chen said: "Go back and discuss it with Qiqi. If he is willing, I can take him over after the summer vacation and let him study in my laboratory first."

When he came back, he had already communicated with the school, and they would set up a special laboratory for him according to his needs, and he could naturally choose the people in the laboratory.

"No problem, I'll arrange it when I get back."

Now that Qiao Qiqi had a place to go, Qi Weimin obviously put his worries aside and was in a much better mood. He started drinking with Zhou Chen again.

…………

Although the school has not started yet, Zhou Chen has already successfully started working. Now he is no longer a student of the Medical University, but has changed his status to become a specially appointed teacher.

However, although he has become a teacher, he does not teach many classes at present. He is mainly responsible for some clinical medicine courses and spends more time busy in the laboratory.

Zhou Chen arranged Qiao Qiqi to work in his laboratory. For convenience, he also let Qiao Qiqi live in his original staff dormitory. As for himself, he lived in the new house he and Qiao Sanli shared.

Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to take up a position in the hospital. He planned to go back to the hospital for consultation in two years.

Time flies, and another year has passed in a flash.

A lot of things happened this year, such as the birth of Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an's daughter, who was named Wen Jin by Wen Xue, and the whole family was overjoyed.

Zhou Chen and others went to see the child and gave him red envelopes, but Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he didn't even go to see the child.

I don’t know if it was God’s will that helps those who work hard, but Qiao Erqiang actually found his master, and because of his master’s affairs, he and Sun Xiaomo had a huge conflict, and their marriage was on the verge of breaking up.

Zhou Chen also heard about this matter from Qiao Sanli, and he didn't care. Qiao Erqiang looked honest, but he was also stubborn. Even the Qiao family couldn't persuade him. Zhou Chen didn't think he had the ability to convince Qiao Erqiang.

At most, after Qiao Erqiang is with his master in the future, he will try to see if they can have a child. That would also change Qiao Erqiang's future.

As for Qiao Simei, she was still the same, still in love with her soldier brother. Zhou Chen had no interaction with her and did not ask about her affairs.

Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu held their wedding banquet not long ago. Zhou Chen lent him some money, and the two bought a two-bedroom apartment as their new wedding home.

Zhou Chen was quite happy that Qi Weimin was willing to borrow money from him. He always felt that friends should help each other. If everyone was as particular as Qiao Yicheng, it would be more difficult to get along with them.

Qiao Sanli also graduated from university this year. She finally followed Zhou Chen's advice and joined Chenxing, but she started from the grassroots level.

After Qiao Sanli graduated, their marriage was put on the agenda. After the two families sat together to discuss, they decided to hold the wedding on New Year's Day of the following year.

As the weather gradually gets colder and the wedding date approaches, the Zhou family is obviously getting busy.

Shamao Lane, the old residence of the Zhou family.

Even though they are wealthy now, Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang still live in the old house most of the time. In their words, they have gotten used to it and don't want to move.

Han Huifang has been in high spirits these days. Her son is getting married, and as a mother, she is naturally the happiest one.

Her son is promising, her daughter-in-law knows her family well, and life at home is getting better and better. The changes over the years have made her feel like she is living in a dream.

"Old Zhou, has the Second Uncle been notified?"

"Everyone has been notified. They will arrive on time."

Han Huifang was very satisfied after hearing this. Since the Zhou family became rich, countless relatives have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many relatives who had never been in contact before have also reconnected.

The Zhou couple handled these relatives very properly. They neither offended them nor were too friendly with them. They helped where they could, but refused to help where they could not.

When Zhou Chen got married this time, there were dozens of relatives who needed to be notified, so the old couple were quite busy.

"Has the Jinling Hotel agreed?"

"I've already informed you, and we've initially reserved 60 tables. If it's not enough, we'll add more when the time comes."

Sixty banquet tables can be said to be a huge number, but the Zhou family has many relatives, and Zhou Chen also has many friends and colleagues.

In addition to Zhou Chen's reputation and the Zhou family's prestige, there will be some leaders and friends coming over, so sixty tables are definitely not too many.

Zhou Chen came out from the inner room and said, "Mom, I will have a few friends from abroad coming over. Please ask someone to arrange it."

Han Huifang was surprised and said, "Oh, you have foreign friends coming too. My son is amazing. He can get those people to come from thousands of miles away. Don't worry, Mom will arrange it."

As they were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang. Han Huifang said, "It must be a delivery. I'll go open the door."

But when she opened the door, her expression immediately became surprised, and she looked at the woman standing in front of the door in astonishment.

"you you……"

"Auntie, hello, it's me, Nan Fang."

Of course Han Huifang recognized Xiang Nanfang, but his sudden appearance caught her off guard.

"Nanfang, yes, Nanfang, I remember, Xiaochen, Nanfang is here, hurry over to entertain him."

Hearing his mother's words, Zhou Chen in the house was suddenly shocked. He walked out of the house and saw Xiang Nanfang walking into the yard, and he smiled happily.

"Hi, Nan Fang, long time no see."

Sorry, it's a bit late.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 519: Regretful Xiang Nanfang, Wedding

"Hi, Nan Fang, long time no see."

Zhou Chen had been abroad for two years. He hadn't seen Xiang Nanfang in the first six months of his trip, so the two hadn't seen each other for almost three years.

After not seeing each other for three years, Xiang Nanfang has become more beautiful. She was just a college student before, but now she has started working and has become more mature.

When Zhou Chen saw Xiang Nanfang again, he was a little dazed. He and Xiang Nanfang were not just classmates and friends, they also had a good impression of each other.

It was a pity that his mission in this world prevented him from having further development with Xiang Nanfang, and he did not want to hurt this cheerful, generous and heroic woman.

Xiang Nanfang looked at Zhou Chen and smiled brightly.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You are very famous now, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, Mr. Zhou Chen."

In front of Xiang Nanfang, Zhou Chen did not show any pride.

"Come in and sit down."

Xiang Nanfang shook his head and said, "No, are you free now? Can you walk with me?"

Zhou Chen answered without hesitation: "Of course I am free, wait, I will change my clothes."

While Zhou Chen went to change his clothes, Han Huifang and Xiang Nanfang were chatting.

Looking at Xiang Nanfang, who was dignified and smiling brightly, Han Huifang felt uncomfortable for some reason.

"Nan Fang, you are getting more and more beautiful. It's a pity that our Xiao Chen doesn't have that blessing..."

"Cough cough."

Before Han Huifang could finish her words, Zhou Jianguo suddenly interrupted her with a cough. It would have been fine to say this before, but his son was about to get married, and it was too inappropriate to say these words in front of Xiang Nanfang.

Han Huifang also realized that what she said was wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Nan Fang, Auntie is so long-winded."

Xiang Nanfang shook his head, his expression changed slightly: "It's okay, Auntie, it's just that I'm unlucky."

Although neither of them said it explicitly, they both understood what the other meant.

Han Huifang sighed slightly and felt even more pity for Xiang Nanfang.

Before Zhou Chen told the couple that he would marry no one else but Qiao Sanli, she actually preferred Xiang Nanfang.

Because in her previous experience, Xiang Nanfang was the most outstanding girl she had ever seen. She had good looks, good temperament, good family background, good education, a cheerful personality, and she respected the elderly.

Such a daughter-in-law is exactly what she has always dreamed of.

It’s a pity that her thoughts are just her thoughts. Her son will end up being with the third girl of the Qiao family, and she has no choice.

In silence, Zhou Chen came out and said to Xiang Nanfang: "Let's go, let's go for a walk."

"Nanfang, come over for dinner later. Auntie will make you something delicious."

Seeing Xiang Nanfang was about to leave, Han Huifang felt reluctant and shouted loudly from behind.

Xiang Nanfang waved his hand at Han Huifang: "I understand, Auntie."

It was not until Zhou Chen and Xiang Nanfang disappeared from sight that Han Huifang could not help but sigh: "What a good girl, she was so kind to our son, how could she..., oh."

"Come on, this girl is pretty good, but I still think Xiaochen made the right choice. After all, she is the daughter of a high-ranking official. Although our family is prosperous now, it has only been prosperous in the past few years. There is still a gap between us. When a man marries a wife, it is better to marry someone whose family is not too powerful."

Zhou Jianguo didn't have any regrets. Xiang Nanfang was a good person, but Qiao Sanli was also good-looking. More importantly, she was filial, hardworking, and capable of doing anything.

In the past two years when Zhou Chen was not at home, Qiao Sanli often came to visit the couple. Every time she came, she would take the initiative to help them with laundry, cooking, and cleaning, but nothing she said was of any use.

In Zhou Jianguo's opinion, Qiao Sanli will definitely be able to manage the household and take good care of her son in the future.

In comparison, Xiang Nanfang, who was born in a cadre family, has been a young lady since childhood. It is very unlikely that she can manage the household like Qiao Sanli.

Han Huifang understood what her husband meant. She was also very satisfied with Qiao Sanli as her daughter-in-law. However, Xiang Nanfang had left such a deep impression on her that she felt it was a pity to see him again.

Zhou Chen took Xiang Nanfang and went to the Jinling city wall not far away again. That was the place Zhou Chen took her to when Xiang Nanfang came here for the first time.

Along the way, the two of them didn't speak until they stood in front of the city wall.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. When I meet you again today, everything has really changed."

Xiang Nanfang suddenly said something in a low voice. Zhou Chen could hear the resentment in her tone and understood what she was saying. He didn't say anything and didn't know what to say.

"Congratulations, Zhou Chen, you're getting married soon, but I have to go back to work soon, so I may not be able to congratulate you on the day."

Zhou Chen said: "It doesn't matter, it's not important. As long as you still remember me as a friend, it's enough for me."

"Friends?"

Xiang Nanfang's eyes were blurred. He suddenly turned to Zhou Chen and asked, "In your heart, have you always just regarded me as a friend?"

Zhou Chen wanted to give an affirmative answer, but when he saw Xiang Nanfang's eyes filled with complex emotions, he couldn't say anything cruel.

He knew that he should cut the Gordian knot at this time, but it was really not easy to do so. We are all human beings and we are all soft-hearted. Even though he has lived for so many years, he cannot change his human nature.

Seeing Zhou Chen didn't say anything, Xiang Nanfang asked again: "You should be able to feel my feelings. Now that things have come to this, I just want to ask one question. If I hadn't gone to the capital to study at university, but stayed in Jinling, would the situation between us still be like this now?"

Facing Xiang Nanfang's piercing gaze, Zhou Chen sighed.

"Nan Fang, there is no "if" in this world. I am sorry for you. You have helped me so much, but I can't give you anything."

"No, you haven't done anything wrong to me. In relationships, it's all about consent. There's no such thing as one person doing anything wrong to another."

Xiang Nanfang looked depressed. She had always been strong, but this time, she showed her weak side.

Because she really cared about Zhou Chen. Over the years, only Zhou Chen could occupy such an important place in her heart. So when she heard that Zhou Chen was going to get married, she was devastated for a while.

She came here today not to save anything, but to know whether she has a place in Zhou Chen's heart.

"I'm sorry, Nan Fang, maybe we are really not meant to be together."

Zhou Chen also felt bad. If there was no system task, he might have chosen Xiang Nanfang, because Xiang Nanfang was really an outstanding woman and had deep feelings for him. Without Xiang Nanfang's help, their family would not have developed so quickly.

"Is it fate?"

Xiang Nanfang looked sad. This sentence made her feel even more uncomfortable, because Zhou Chen's words meant that he did have feelings for her.

"If I could go back in time, I would never leave Jinling."

"Thank you, Nanfang."
