The world of film and television begins from childhood

In Zhou Chen's eyes, Cai Xiaoguang was Zhou Rong's lapdog, but he was much better than other lapdogs. In the end, he succeeded in licking Zhou Rong and married her.

Cai Xiaoguang actually didn't come for Zhou Rong, which surprised Zhou Chen even more. Apart from Zhou Rong, there should be no contact between them.

"Zhou Rong has only written one letter to her family since she went to your province. She has not contacted her family for almost three years, so our family does not know what her current situation is."

After hearing this, Cai Xiaoguang couldn't help but sigh: "This Zhou Rong is really something. No matter what, she should report to her family that she is safe."

Zhou Chen chuckled twice and didn't want to talk about Zhou Rong.

"Brother Xiaoguang, why are you here today?"

Cai Xiaoguang then remembered the important matter. He sat up straight and said, "I came to see you today because I do have some official business that I want to ask you for help with."

"Brother Xiaoguang, you tell me, as long as I can help, I will do it without hesitation."

"Bingkun, that's quite straightforward."

Cai Xiaoguang gave a thumbs up and then stated his purpose.

"It's like this. Your Golden Land magazine has good sales and is influential in other provinces. When the leaders of our factory heard about it, they wanted to put an advertisement for our factory in your magazine. I don't know how, but this task fell on me."

"I was just worried about having no way out, and I happened to think of you working in a publishing house, and as an editor for Golden Land magazine, so I came to ask for help."

"Advertising?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised. There were many people who wanted to advertise in the Golden Land magazine, but how could you, a tractor factory, think of advertising in a literary magazine?

"Yes, the sales of our tractor factory have been average recently, and the leaders are not satisfied, so they want to use other methods to boost sales. Your magazine has a great reputation in Jiangliao Province, so our leaders want to advertise in your magazine."

Cai Xiaoguang is quite talented, and he actually agrees with this decision. Regardless of the results, taking action is always better than doing nothing.

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xiaoguang, I naturally want to help you, but I'm just an editor, responsible for editing the content of the magazine. When it comes to advertising, it's really not up to me to decide."

Cai Xiaoguang said, "It's okay. I understand. I came to you because I hope you can introduce me to the person in charge of your publishing house through your acquaintance. I will go and talk to them."

Zhou Chen said: "That's no problem. I'll take you to see the person in charge now."

After introducing Cai Xiaoguang to the leader in charge of this aspect, Zhou Chen left. Whether the deal could be concluded or not had nothing to do with him.

When Cai Xiaoguang left the publishing house, he came over and said hello to Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun, thank you very much this time."

Zhou Chen asked: "How is it, Brother Xiaoguang, have you reached an agreement?"

Cai Xiaoguang said: "It's not that easy. This is the first time we meet. But luckily you are here. You are very considerate. But whether it can work out depends on how we discuss it later."

"That's good. I was really worried that I couldn't help."

"You've been a great help."

Cai Xiaoguang smiled widely, and then continued, "By the way, I have some news to share with you. This year, the country's economic situation is better than in previous years. Our province is planning to open up pork supply and conduct a pilot program. The pilot program will be held next Sunday at the supply and marketing cooperative in Shengli Store in the eastern suburbs of the city."

"At that time, we will supply a batch of pork that can be purchased without tickets or capital. It will be 48 cents per pound and sold by the fan. If you need it, don't miss it."

Zhou Chen also became interested when he heard it. It was not easy to eat meat these days. Although he could get meat coupons every month, the quantity was limited. He was very interested in pork like this that did not require coupons and had no restrictions.

"Brother Xiaoguang, thank you very much."

"It's okay. I should be the one thanking you. I'm leaving."

Zhou Chen got off work early that day and did not go home. Instead, he went to the cinema and found Zheng Juan who was selling candied haws.

"Auntie, I'm taking Zheng Juan out for something. I'll come back and help you close the stall."

Aunt Zheng waved her hand and said, "Bingkun, if you have something to do, you don't have to come again. Guangming and I can go back by ourselves."

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, just wait for us for a while, we will be back soon."

Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan to sit in the back seat of the car, then he rode his bicycle and quickly left the cinema.

"Bingkun, where are you taking me?"

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Zheng Juan carefully held Zhou Chen's waist, fearing that he would fall.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'll take you to a place where there will be good news."

Soon they arrived at their destination and Zhou Chen stopped outside the yard of a bungalow.

"arrive."

Zheng Juan got out of the back seat of the car, looked around in confusion, and asked in confusion: "Bingkun, where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"

Zhou Chen pointed at the house in front of him and said, "Do you see this house? After we get married, we will live here."

"what?"

Zheng Juan looked confused.

Zhou Chen said: "It's the house in front of you. I have rented it. When we get married, it will be our wedding house, and we will live here in the future."

Zheng Juan was shocked and asked, "You rented this house? Why did you rent a house? Isn't there enough space at home?"

The Zhou family has two houses, which are much bigger than hers. She thinks that even if they get married, it will be enough for them to live in, so she can't understand why Zhou Chen still wants to rent a house.

Zhou Chen said, "It's different. We only have two rooms. If my dad and eldest brother come back during the Chinese New Year, there won't be enough for us to live in. More importantly, it's really inconvenient to live in Guangzi Pian. It's inconvenient to get water, use water, and go to the toilet."

"It's different here. This house has three rooms. Even if your mother and brother come over, they can still live here. There is also a separate bathroom, kitchen and living room. Do you see this yard? It's also a bonus. You can grow vegetables and flowers in the yard in the future."

"The environment here is much better than Guangzi Film. It is also close to the publishing house where I work, so it will be very convenient for commuting to get off work."

Seeing that Zheng Juan had not yet recovered, Zhou Chen took her hand, walked into the yard, parked the car, took out the key and opened the door.

"Come in and take a look."

Zheng Juan was pulled into the house by Zhou Chen like a puppet, and then was pulled by Zhou Chen to walk around the room one by one.

In Zhou Chen's opinion, this house was not good at all, but for Zheng Juan, she was completely shocked by this house.

She had lived in Taiping Hutong since she was a child, sharing a room with her mother and younger brother. The entire house was only about 20 to 30 square meters, crowded and damp, and could not be compared with the house in front of her.

"This house is so nice, it must cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money. I can totally afford it. Just tell me if you want to live here."

Zheng Juan answered without hesitation: "Of course I have thought about it, but..."

"No buts. Although I didn't buy this house, I have signed a contract with the landlord. In the next five years, unless I stop renting it, he cannot sublet it to others."

Zhou Chen was lucky at this time, because the college entrance examination would be resumed in five years, and he would definitely go to college then.

He is not worried about whether he can get into university. He will decide whether to renew the lease or buy the house after he is admitted.

"Look at this master bedroom. It will be our new home. This room will be for my parents, and this room will be for your mother and your brother. It will be just enough for them. And this kitchen is not very big, but it has water and electricity, so it is very convenient to use. And this living room, we will buy a bigger table for it..."

As she listened, Zheng Juan's eyes became moist. What Zhou Chen said was something she had never dared to think about before, but Zhou Chen had already made a plan.

"Bingkun, why are you so nice to me? I don't deserve it."

Zhou Chen gently wiped the tears from Zheng Juan's face and said softly: "Didn't I tell you not to say such things again? You deserve it. If you don't feel at ease, you should serve me well and give me more children."

This was originally a joke, but Zheng Juan nodded very seriously and said, "Yes, I will, Bingkun. In this life, I will just follow you. If you don't want me anymore, I will die."

"Bullshit."

Zhou Chen covered Zheng Juan's mouth and held her in his arms.

"I was thinking of marrying you this year, but my mom insisted that we wait until my dad and his family come back and discuss it before getting married. The old lady refused to back down, and I couldn't do anything about it. But don't worry, we'll get married by next spring at the latest."

Zheng Juan hugged Zhou Chen and whispered, "Auntie is doing this for our own good."

"Of course I know, but when I think about the fact that it will take several months before we can live together openly, I feel that time is passing slowly."

Zheng Juan suddenly raised her head, her face flushed as she whispered, "If, if you want, I, I can do it now..."

Zhou Chen covered her mouth again, "Don't say anything, I know what you mean, but I said I would give you the best, so let's leave all this for that day."

In this era, being together before getting married would be looked down upon. Zhou Chen wanted to marry Zheng Juan, but not to humiliate her. He respected her, so he was not planning to marry Zheng Juan before getting married.

He is an experienced person and is not in a hurry for a year or two.

Zheng Juan, feeling relaxed, walked around the house alone, looking around, feeling around, with a nervous and excited expression. She stayed for a long time before leaving reluctantly.

Chapter 560 Qu Xiuzhen, Visiting Old Ma's House

"Here is the key to this house. If you want to see it later, you can come over anytime."

Zhou Chen handed a key to Zheng Juan and asked her to keep it.

Zheng Juan said nervously: "Don't give it to me. This is your house. What's the point of giving it to me?"

Zhou Chen, however, thrust the key into Zheng Juan's hands forcefully. "Take it. Take these money and bills as well. If the family needs anything, you need to get it. After all, you will be the hostess here in the future."

Zheng Juan didn't hesitate any more and took the key.

Zhou Chen added, "Juan'er, we are only living here temporarily. Wait a little longer. I will definitely buy you a big villa and hire two nannies. You don't have to do housework and cleaning by yourself."

Zheng Juan did not take Zhou Chen's words seriously. For her, even the house in front of her was too much to imagine, let alone a big villa and a nanny. She felt that she would never be so lucky in her life.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Next Sunday, the supply and marketing cooperative at Shengli Store in the eastern suburbs of the city will have a batch of pork that can be purchased without a ticket. I'll borrow a tricycle then, and you can come with me and we'll buy two slabs of pork."

Zheng Juan's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Two pork loins, isn't that a whole pig? How much would it cost to buy so much pork? Can we finish it?"

"It's affordable, 48 cents a pound. Two clams can weigh about 200 pounds, which costs about 100 yuan. 200 pounds may seem like a lot, but even if you can't finish it, you can pickle it. It won't be wasted anyway."

After so many hard times, Zhou Chen finally had a chance to buy pork at will, so he would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

Although one hundred yuan is not a small amount, he still has some savings.

Zheng Juan felt that her life was becoming more and more incomprehensible. She used to be so poor that she had to share a steamed bun with three people. But since she met Zhou Chen, she no longer had to worry about food and could even eat meat occasionally. She had never dared to imagine a life like this before.

She was not a person who was good at expressing herself, so she could only remember Zhou Chen's kindness to her in her heart and think about repaying him well in the future.

Although Zheng Juan said that it was not her house, after getting the key from Zhou Chen, she went there every day for the next few days to clean, tidy up the room, and buy things.

Seeing Zheng Juan so happy, Zhou Chen was also very happy. As a man, making his woman happy is a sign of success.

Zhou Chen has not told Li Suhua about the house yet. Li Suhua is different from Zheng Juan, and her ability to accept things is definitely not as good as Zheng Juan's.

If she knew that he had a home but didn't live in it and insisted on spending so much money to rent a house, she would definitely be very angry.

In the minds of the older generation, renting a house is not as comfortable as living in one's own house.

"Bingkun, please see if this article can be used in our next issue of the magazine."

Because one person left the magazine editorial department, a new one was hired. The one who came to ask Zhou Chen for advice is the new editor.

Zhou Chen took it and said, "Stay here, I'll take a look later."

"Okay, then I'll go out first."

Zhou Chen rubbed his temple. Ever since Shao Jingwen left, he had to do the work of two people.

This is nothing to him, but reading articles and making reports all day long can also be boring and tedious.

"Jingle Bell……"

Zhou Chen picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Golden Land magazine."

"Oh, it's mine. OK, I get it."

Zhou Chen put down the phone and felt strange. Why did someone always come to his class to look for him recently, and this time they asked him to leave?

The security guard said that the person who came to see him this time was in a car and looked like a leader, so he decided to go out and take a look.

Zhou Chen came to the outside of the publishing house and saw an old-fashioned car parked there. A middle-aged woman wearing a cotton jacket was standing in front of the car, as if waiting for someone.

He knew that this must be the person looking for him, so he walked over. As soon as he got up to him, the other party spoke first.

"Zhou Bingkun?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "I am Zhou Bingkun. May I ask who you are?"

He has a very good memory and is sure that he has never seen this woman before. The two parties should not know each other. How come the woman recognized him at first sight?

"Comrade Zhou Bingkun, hello, my name is Qu Xiuzhen, and I work at the soy sauce factory."

As soon as he heard the name, Zhou Chen knew who she was: Qu Xiuzhen from the soy sauce factory, Ma Shouchang's wife, and a supporting character with many scenes in the TV series.

"Hello Hello."

Zhou Chen shook hands with Qu Xiuzhen very politely, and at the same time guessed the reason why Qu Xiuzhen came to see him.

"Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
