The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen doesn't care about nicknames or anything like that, as long as Qiao Sanli likes it.

Zhou Chen has experienced so much in the film and television world and has given birth to many children, but to be honest, Xiaopingguo is definitely the most mischievous one of all his children.

Even though he is only two years old, he is very naughty because he is loved by his grandparents and a large group of relatives and friends.

Although Zhou Chen is good at educating children, in most cases, the old couple of the Zhou family do not allow him to be mean to the children, let alone hit them.

Although Little Apple is naughty, he is really smart. He knows very well who treats him best at home, so every time he makes a mistake, he runs to his grandparents.

Even though Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, he still has different opinions with his elders when it comes to educating children, and they have even had several arguments.

His parents, who had spoiled him before, immediately shifted their love and care to Xiaopingguo after she was born, and he had to take second place.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen couldn't do anything about it, but Qiao Sanli could.

The Zhou couple could scold Zhou Chen a few times, but they would not do that to their daughter-in-law. Every time Qiao Sanli educates her son, they would stand by and worry anxiously. They would say a few words when it gets serious, but not too harshly.

Because they had a new child, the old couple couldn't bear to part with their grandson, so the family had to move and bought a villa nearby. Now the whole family lives in the villa.

Qiao Sanli tuned up a cartoon for her son. It was 97 and the cartoon being played was quite retro, the famous Calabash Brothers.

Zhou Chen was also deeply impressed by this cartoon. Even when he was a child in the real world, he often watched this cartoon.

Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven flowers on one vine, not afraid of wind or rain, la la la la......

In this day and age, not to mention children, even adults can watch it with great interest.

While Xiaopingguo was watching TV, Zhou Chen asked Qiao Sanli, "Have you encountered any problems at work recently?"

Since she was weaned, Qiao Sanli returned to work at Chenxing, but she was no longer a junior employee, but a member of the management team.

After two years, she has been promoted to the position of deputy manager of the Finance Department. This is inseparable from her hard work, but it is even more inseparable from her identity.

Qiao Sanli frowned and said, "There are too many things in the finance department. I've only been there for a few months, and there are still many things I haven't figured out. It will take some time."

She was not in the finance department before, and was transferred to the finance department a few months ago. This was also the intention of the Zhou couple.

Chenxing Group is now one of the largest companies in Jinling, and the financial department is a top priority. The Zhou couple plans to hand over the power to Qiao Sanli, so they let Qiao Sanli learn the work in various departments so that she can control the group in the future.

You don't have to be proficient in every department, but at least you have to be familiar with the procedures. Otherwise, if you rashly become a general manager, you will be completely in the dark about each department and will not be able to lead everyone.

Seeing Qiao Sanli's distressed look, Zhou Chen smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, take your time. My parents can still take care of her for a few more years. I will help you, too."

Qiao Sanli rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are so capable, but you don't manage it. Instead, you ask me to do it. I don't even have much time to spend with Xiao Pingguo."

"The more capable you are, the more work you will do. I'm also very busy, and the medical field can't do without me."

"See what you can do."

Qiao Sanli snorted unhappily.

She was just complaining casually, but in fact, she was very grateful to Zhou Chen's family for their trust. Chenxing was such a big business, and they let her take over. They treated her, the daughter-in-law, better than their own daughter.

"My eldest brother called me yesterday and told me that Xiaojin's fourth birthday is coming up in a few days, and asked us to go over for dinner. Erqiang, Simei, and my cousin will all be there."

"In the blink of an eye, Xiaojin is already four years old."

"Please take some time tomorrow to buy Xiaojin a birthday present."

"Okay, I see."

"Don't buy anything too expensive. You know my eldest brother. If you buy something too expensive, he will definitely not accept it. After so many years, this habit has not changed at all. He can't even tell siblings apart so clearly."

"Don't worry about what I do. Your eldest brother is a stubborn person even if he is in his seventies or eighties. If he changes, he will not be Qiao Yicheng anymore. By the way, Qi Weimin's daughter is about to be one year old. I don't know if their family will hold a wedding banquet."

"You'll know when the time comes if you ask."

Three years later, Qi Weimin was transferred from the township to the city and now works in the Propaganda Department.

Two years ago, Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu held their wedding. Now they have a daughter and can be said to be living a happy life.

"besides."

Qiao Sanli hesitated for a moment, and then instructed: "Simei and Qi Chenggang will also be there by then, you should be patient and don't bother with them."

"They don't bother me, I don't bother with them."

Zhou Chen had a look of disdain on his face. Two years ago, there was quite a stir because of Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang's marriage, and he had a lot of unpleasantness with the Qiao family. Later, because of work reasons, they looked for Zhou Chen twice, but they also parted on bad terms.

A few days later, after Zhou Chen got off work, he called Qiao Qiqi and drove to Qi Weimin's workplace.

Qiao Qiqi has been with Zhou Chen for almost four years and is now 20 years old. He has learned a lot of medical knowledge in these four years. He is now studying in the undergraduate class of the medical school and will have the opportunity to obtain an undergraduate degree through special enrollment in the future.

Because of this incident, Qi Weimin thanked Zhou Chen a lot and invited him to dinner several times, saying that it was Zhou Chen who gave Qiao Qiqi a bright future.

It was also because of following Zhou Chen that Qiao Qiqi was not ruined for life by a bad woman like in the TV series.

"Qiqi, today we are going to your eldest brother's house to celebrate your niece's birthday. Have you bought a gift?"

Qiao Qiqi sat in the back row and said embarrassedly: "I bought it, but I don't know if Xiaojin likes it."

"She will definitely like it. Xiaojin is a very lively child."

It's strange to say, Wen Ju'an's mother was very strict with Wen Ju'an, and it has been like this since he was a child, but she was very doting on her granddaughter Wen Jin, spoiling her more than Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an combined.

As a result, Wen Jin has been very lively and active since childhood, unlike Wen Ju'an and Qiao Yicheng who have dull personalities.

Soon, Zhou Chen arrived at Qi Weimin's workplace and stopped there waiting for Qi Weimin to come out.

Qiao Sanli drove with Xiaopingguo to pick up Chang Xingyu and his daughter at home, while he came to pick up Qi Weimin. The division of labor was clear.

Zhou Chen and Qiao Qiqi were sitting in the car. Qiao Qiqi was leaning on the car window, looking at the entrance of the building not far away.

"Brother, Brother is coming out."

Hearing Qiao Qiqi's cheers, Zhou Chen looked up, and the next moment, he burst into swear words.

"Fuck, no way, this can't be such a coincidence?"

Qi Weimin walked out of the building with his colleagues. His colleague was Xiang Nanfang, a young female cadre who had been transferred here recently. She was a few years younger than him, but she was already the deputy director of the office of the Propaganda Department. She had a bright future.

According to gossip, this female cadre named Xiang Nanfang, her father used to be a senior cadre in the province, so she was able to hold a high position at such a young age.

We were both from Jinling, lived not far from each other, worked in the same department, and he was his leader, so after we met, we had a pretty close relationship.

Before leaving get off work today, he happened to have some information to give her. After delivering it, the two of them left work together and walked out of the office building.

"Qi Weimin, I think the proposal you told me last time is good. How about we have a quick meal together and discuss it while we eat?"

Qi Weimin smiled and refused, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment today. My brother's niece is having a birthday, and he invited our family to dinner. Why don't we talk about it after work tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. How are you leaving?"

"Someone is here to pick me up. Here, right there."

Qi Weimin looked around and saw Zhou Chen's Crown, so he pointed at that direction and spoke.

Xiang Nanfang didn't care. He glanced in the direction of Qi Weimin's finger and found that it was a Crown car. Then he couldn't help but look at the license plate.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Nanfang was stunned for a moment.

Qi Weimin saw Xiang Nanfang staring blankly at Zhou Chen's car and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiang Nanfang came back to his senses and asked, "Is the owner of this car your friend?"

Qi Weimin smiled and said, "He's not only my friend, he's also my cousin's husband."

Xiang Nanfang's beautiful eyes flickered for a few times, and then he asked, "Is your cousin's husband called Zhou Chen?"

Now it was Qi Weimin's turn to be surprised. He asked in astonishment: "Do you know Zhou Chen?"

Xiang Nanfang showed a complicated expression and said with a smile: "I know him, and we are very familiar with each other. We are middle school classmates."

Qi Weimin had no doubts and said happily: "What a coincidence that you and Zhou Chen are classmates. This world is so small."

"I haven't seen him in years either."

"Since we've met, let's go and meet each other."

Qi Weimin spoke enthusiastically, Xiang Nanfang nodded, and then walked towards Zhou Chen's crown.

Chapter 525: First Hug, Qiao Simei Asks for a Room

Zhou Chen was sitting in the car. When he saw Qi Weimin and Xiang Nanfang walking towards him, his face changed several times.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided."

Sighing, Zhou Chen opened the car door and walked out of the cab, and Qiao Qiqi followed him out.

"Zhou Chen, Qiqi."

"Brother."

Qi Weimin walked over, pointed at Xiang Nanfang next to him, and said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, this is my colleague. I heard that you two are old classmates?"

"Ah."

Zhou Chen responded, then ignored Qi Weimin and looked at Xiang Nanfang.

"long time no see."

Xiang Nanfang walked up to Zhou Chen and smiled, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. Shouldn't we hug each other to celebrate our reunion?"

As she said that, she opened her arms and looked at Zhou Chen with a smile.

Zhou Chen's mouth twitched slightly: "Not good, this is your workplace, if someone misunderstands me, I will be guilty of a great sin."

Xiang Nanfang said nonchalantly, "We have known each other for more than ten years. What's wrong with hugging each other when we meet again after a long time? I am upright and I am not afraid of being misunderstood by others. Are you afraid that your wife will find out and misunderstand you?"

Looking at Xiang Nanfang with a smile on his face, Zhou Chen felt helpless. This was indeed in line with Xiang Nanfang's generous character and he did not care about other people's opinions.

"Ok."

Zhou Chen stretched out his arms and hugged Xiang Nanfang. This was the first time they had hugged in all the years they had known each other.

He clearly felt that when he hugged Xiang Nanfang, her body trembled violently, and then his waist and back were hugged tightly.

But it was only a moment, and Xiang Nanfang quickly let go of his hand.

Qi Weimin, who was standing next to them, had been watching the two of them. When he saw their brief hug, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but he said nothing.

"Zhou Chen, Director Xiang, you guys chat first. I'll have a conversation with Qiqi."

After saying that, he pulled Qiao Qiqi aside, leaving the space to Zhou Chen and Xiang Nanfang.

There were only two of them left, and Xiang Nanfang was still staring at him closely. Zhou Chen felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"When did you return to Jinling? Why didn't you say hello to me?"

Xiang Nanfang asked with a smile: "If I told you, would you dare to come to see me alone?"

Zhou Chen: "Why should I be afraid of that? You said that as if I would do something shameful."

Xiang Nanfang chuckled, then put away his smile: "I have been back for a while, and now I work in the Propaganda Department. I am a colleague of Qi Weimin. When I came out just now, he said someone was coming to pick him up. I took a look and found that it was your car. I didn't expect that you and Qi Weimin are relatives."

"I have known Qi Weimin for more than ten years. He is Sanli's cousin."

"I heard from Jiang Yue that you already have a son?"

Xiang Nanfang suddenly asked, Jiang Yue was their classmate and had attended Zhou Chen's wedding.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, he is already over two years old."

"That's great, that's great."

Xiang Nanfang murmured, there was no trace of a smile on his face, and his expression became very complicated.

Zhou Chen was silent for a while before he asked, "How are you doing now? Are you dating someone?"

Xiang Nanfang raised his head and looked at Zhou Chen with burning eyes: "Do you hope that I will talk about it, or do you hope that I won't talk about it?"

Zhou Chen coughed dryly: "This is your business, I, I hope it's useless."

Xiang Nanfang smiled bitterly and said, "No, although many excellent men have pursued me, I have met the best before, so now when I look at others, I always feel dissatisfied. Do you have any way to help me?"

For some reason, Zhou Chen felt relieved when he heard that Xiang Nanfang didn't have a partner. But the next moment, he cursed himself in his heart for being such a scumbag.

"How can I help you? If you insist on me, I certainly hope that you can find a good man who treats you well and considers you wholeheartedly. You are so outstanding and deserve the best."

"Like I said just now, the best is gone, and I don't like to settle for less, so I thought, if I really can't find it, I'll just live alone for the rest of my life. It's not impossible to live alone anyway, and it's easier and more comfortable to be alone."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Nanfang, you..."
