The world of film and television begins from childhood

After convincing Li Suhua, Zhou Chen immediately told Zheng Juan the good news.

"Really? Did Auntie really agree to our marriage?"

Zheng Juan showed her joy without any concealment. She had wanted to marry Zhou Chen for a long time, but as she was a filial girl, she did not dare to bring up the matter until Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang agreed.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen has always given her confidence, so that she doesn't worry about gains and losses.

Now that she knew Li Suhua agreed, she felt a little dazed. It seemed as if countless noisy voices rang in her ears, but she heard nothing.

Zheng Juan's expression of panic and surprise made Zhou Chen feel guilty, and he gently embraced Zheng Juan in his arms.

"Yes, it's true. I've already told my mother that we will get married on the sixth day of the first lunar month. The location will be at our new house. I'll ask a chef to prepare a few dishes at home. What do you think?"

After a few years, he really fell in love with this simple, hardworking, kind and somewhat cute girl.

Compared with the women she had before, Zheng Juan seemed like a mute. She never made any demands on him, but no matter what he did, she would silently support him behind his back.

Zheng Juan is the type who is willing to give for others. She may not be able to talk to you about the national situation, business economy, poetry creation, singing and dancing.

But she can provide you with an extremely stable rear, so that you don't have to worry about your family, children, and parents. She is a typical good wife and mother.

"The sixth day of the first lunar month, is it that urgent?"

"Are you in such a hurry? If I hadn't been waiting for my dad and his family, I would have married you last year. Maybe our first child would have been born by now."

Zheng Juan blushed and said coquettishly: "Hateful."

Zhou Chen's expression suddenly became extremely serious. He put his hands on Zheng Juan's shoulders and looked at her with burning eyes.

"Juan'er, marry me. I can't guarantee that you will be the happiest woman in the world, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to make you a happy woman. Are you willing to believe me?"

Zheng Juan's shy look gradually subsided, and she said in the same serious tone: "Believe it, I believe it."

Holding Zheng Juan in his arms again, Zhou Chen hugged her tightly, this silly girl.

In terms of knowledge, Zheng Juan cannot compare to any woman he has had before, but Zheng Juan's qualities are also unique.

Zheng Juan's strength, filial piety, hard work and simplicity.

For the sake of her mother and blind brother, she was willing to give up her future and hard life, but she did not feel wronged at all. She was still positive and worked hard to make money and change her family.

The appearance of Zhou Chen was like a ray of light in her life, illuminating her.

If Zhou Chen only liked her and was unfriendly to her mother and brother, she would not love Zhou Chen.

But Zhou Chen was not only very good to her, but also to her mother and brother. He tried every way to give them money and help them.

Under such a gentle attack, she slowly sank.

"I'm going to take my mom to see the house over there tomorrow. You can come with me then."

"Ah."

"It's the sixth day of the first lunar month, Juan'er, you have to be prepared. Your single life only lasts a few days."

Zheng Juan responded with joy and shyness. She felt that if she could become Zhou Chen's wife, it would be the happiest thing in the world. She must have been a very kind person in her previous life and did a lot of good deeds to exchange for such good luck in this life.

Zhou Chen was affectionate with Zheng Juan for a while, but because the weather was too cold, he was not afraid, but he didn't want Zheng Juan to be cold, so he let Zheng Juan go back and left alone.

Not long after leaving Zheng Juan's house, Zhou Chen suddenly frowned, and saw two strangers suddenly blocking his way, blocking the way of his bicycle.

It was already very dark at this time, and he couldn't see the other person's specific appearance, but from their burly stature, he knew that they were not people to be trifled with.

"You two, whether you are here for money or for some other reason, you have chosen the wrong person."

He had heard about the chaos in Taiping Hutong many times, and he had been to Taiping Hutong many times, but this was the first time he was stopped.

Not to mention two big men, even if there were two more, he would not be afraid. If a fight really broke out, he would let them know why the flowers are so red.

"Don't get me wrong, we're not trying to rob you, but we have a business deal to discuss with you."

The two men walked a few steps forward, and one of them, who seemed to have a problem with his legs, walked with one foot deep and the other shallow, and spoke softly.

When the two people got closer, Zhou Chen could see their faces clearly.

He glanced at the man who was speaking and clearly saw that he was a cripple.

Although he was a cripple, he was wearing a tweed coat, a red and gray scarf, had fair skin and looked very handsome.

If you ignore his lame leg and only look at his appearance, he is definitely a handsome man.

The other person next to him was much worse. He was big and strong, with a face full of flesh, a long donkey face, and fierce eyes. You could tell at first glance that he was not a good person.

Zhou Chen couldn't figure out where they were coming from. After hearing what the lame man said, he sneered, "You blocked my way in the middle of the night, saying you wanted to discuss business. Is that how you discuss business?"

"Boy, how do you talk to my brother Shui? Believe it or not, I will..."

"Binzi."

The donkey-faced man was furious and pointed at Zhou Chen and was about to curse him, but was stopped by the lame man.

"Brother, we really have no ill intentions. We have our reasons for coming to you at this time, but I promise that we are serious about discussing business."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but looked at the two men. From their conversation just now, he heard important information.

Brother Shui, Binzi.

If it were in another world, he would not think there was anything wrong with these two titles, but this is the human world, so these two titles make sense.

Water flows by itself, Luo Shibin.

Zhou Chen guessed the identities of the two people at once. Considering their behavior and their lameness, such a coincidence should not exist in this Guangzi area.

After watching the drama "The World in the World", if you ask me who makes him most unhappy, Zhou Rong is one, and the other is Luo Shibin. As for Zhou Bingyi, Feng Yue, Zhou Nan and others, compared to these two, they are already very normal people.

Even if Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao turned evil, their behavior might be disgusting, but it is definitely not as disgusting as these two people.

Anyway, when Zhou Chen was watching TV through the system, the person he wanted to kill the most was Luo Shibin. That was because the law was not perfect at the time and Zheng Juan did not report it. Otherwise, Luo Shibin would not have died enough.

After understanding the identities of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, Zhou Chen's face immediately turned cold.

Shui Ziliu is naturally much better than Luo Shipin, but since he is Luo Shipin's brother, it is difficult for Zhou Chen to have a good impression of him. At most, he can be said to not dislike him.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind, and then he pretended nothing had happened and looked at Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin indifferently.

"Do you know who I am?"

Shui Ziliu said: "Of course I know. If we didn't know, we wouldn't be waiting for you here."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "You stopped me in the middle of the night and wanted to discuss business with me. I guess the business you're talking about must be something that can't be seen in public, right?"

"Why the hell do you talk so much nonsense?"

Luo Shibin was very unhappy with Zhou Chen's nonchalant look, and started scolding him while pointing at him.

At this time, Zhou Chen had already stopped his bicycle. The moment Luo Shipin's finger pointed in front of him, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Luo Shipin's finger and twisted it hard.

"what!"

Luo Shibin let out a shrill scream, and the severe pain from his broken finger made him bend over in pain. Zhou Chen kicked him in the chest, and the burly Luo Shibin rolled several meters away.

"you……"

This sudden scene horrified Shui Ziliu, and he was about to take action immediately, but Zhou Chen looked at him suddenly with a fierce look, which frightened him so much that he stopped moving.

"Do you want to end up like him?"

Shui Ziliu swallowed his saliva. Although he was the eldest, Luo Shibin was the most powerful fighter among the two of them. Even Luo Shibin was knocked down by Zhou Chen in one blow. He didn't want to humiliate himself.

"Brother, isn't this too cruel?"

Zhou Chen sneered: "Do you think that I work in a publishing house, am a cultured person, and won't hit anyone?"

"You know what, what I hate most is someone pointing a finger at me and saying dirty words. I don't like to use violence, but that doesn't mean I won't use it. What I just did was still a minor offense. If you say something rude again, it won't be as simple as cutting off a finger."

Faced with Zhou Chen's threat, coupled with Zhou Chen's drastic measures just now, and Luo Shibin who was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, Shui Ziliu didn't dare to refute.

Although beating up Luo Shibin feels good, but when you think about what Luo Shibin did in the TV series, it's not something that can be resolved by just beating him up.

"Tell me, what business do you want to discuss when you come to me in the middle of the night?"

Shui Ziliu was originally preparing to take Luo Shibin away, but Zhou Chen unexpectedly started talking about business again. His eyes flickered, but he was ultimately driven by profit.

"You're right. Our business is indeed shady. You must have heard of ticket scalping, right?"

"Are you talking about the black market for reselling food coupons, meat coupons, industrial coupons, etc?"

“Yes, that’s what we do.”

"I don't think I have any connection with you guys, why did you come to me?"

“Because you have money.”

Zhou Chen was stunned by Shui Ziliu's words. He asked, "How do you know I have money?"

Shui Ziliu said, "A while ago, we saw you dragging two pieces of pork back to the Guangzizi. If you didn't have money, you wouldn't be able to afford two pieces of pork. Also, Tu Zhiqiang is our brother, and we've heard him talk about you before."

"So you guys know Tu Zhiqiang."

Zhou Chen looked as if he had realized what was going on. However, when he brought back the pork on his tricycle, it did cause quite a stir, so it was normal for Shui Ziliu and the others to know about it.

"So you came to me because you were attracted by my money?"

Glancing at Luo Shibin who was still humming on the ground, Shui Ziliu quickly retorted: "No, you misunderstood. We are looking for you to do business. You have money, we can get the tickets, and I think we can make a deal."

"Let me scalp tickets with you?"

Zhou Chen looked shocked. He couldn't even hide from such a thing, so how could he possibly do it?

"No, that's not the case. We got the tickets and sold them to you. It was a one-sided transaction. We were the ones reselling the tickets. You had nothing to do with it."

Shui Ziliu knew very well that this kind of thing could not be allowed to be seen in public, and Zhou Chen was an editor at a publishing house with a bright future, so how could he possibly do such a shady thing with them?

Zhou Chen wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, stopped in time, and then thought about it seriously.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 564: Transaction with Shui Ziliu

Zhou Chen naturally had no good feelings towards Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, and he had never thought about having any relationship with them. In his heart, he even regarded them as enemies.

But who says that we can't cooperate with our enemies? If we use them well, we can squeeze enough benefits out of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.

"Tell me how you want to negotiate business with me. State it in advance. If there is not enough benefit, then there is no need to continue."

It was at this moment that he thought of a plan to attack Luo Shibin. Although Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin would be arrested in the TV series, who knows whether his appearance would lead to any accidents. So some things should be controlled in one's own hands to make one feel more at ease.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Shui Ziliu felt relieved. He was not afraid that Zhou Chen was greedy, but he was afraid that Zhou Chen was not greedy. As long as Zhou Chen wanted benefits, they would have an opportunity to take advantage of him.

"It's just like what I said just now. We provide the tickets and you pay. No matter how many tickets you want, as long as the money is enough, we can help you get them."

To run a business like theirs, the most important thing is stable customers. Although tickets are needed to buy things now, it does not mean that tickets are more valuable than money.

Money is always hard currency. If you have money but no tickets, you may not be able to buy some things, but if you have tickets but no money, it is even more impossible to buy what you want.

The state has clear regulations that tickets are not allowed to circulate in the market except when issued by the state. If someone who doesn't have a ticket wants to get one, they can only trade privately.

But in this special time, how many people dare to take the risk to do such things? Speculation and profiteering will at least result in imprisonment, and in serious cases, they may be directly shot.

Only people like Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, who are willing to put their heads on the line, would be so bold as to engage in the ticket scalping business.

It’s just that their status and position are too low, so they can’t get in touch with big clients at all. They can only hang out among the lower class people and earn some hard-earned money.

Shui Ziliu went to find Zhou Chen not only because he was rich, but also because he was attracted by Zhou Chen's identity.

Zhou Chen is an editor at a publishing house. Although he is not an official, the circles he comes into contact with are definitely much more high-end than theirs, and he definitely meets more wealthy people than they know.

If they can get in touch with Zhou Chen and cooperate in business in the future, their business will definitely grow bigger and bigger.

No one wants to stay at the bottom forever, they also want to climb up, so in Shui Ziliu's view, Zhou Chen is a very important opportunity.

They had already been eyeing Zhou Chen for a long time, but for safety reasons, they still planned for a long time before they stopped Zhou Chen today.

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with disdain: "You can have as much as I want. This is a bit exaggerated."

Shui Ziliu said confidently: "Whether it is bragging or not, you will know after we have more contact."

They have been doing this kind of business for many years, so naturally they have their own ways of doing things. However, they were worried about being reported before, so they kept a low profile and did not dare to do anything rash.

But if there is really a big business, they are not afraid to take risks. They didn’t have much money before, but if they had enough funds, they would still have ways to get a large number of tickets.

For many people, tickets are good things, but for some people, if there are too many tickets, they are really not good things. If they can exchange them for cash, they will definitely be very happy.

"Okay, let's try trading a few times. How many tickets do you have now?"

Shui Ziliu's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "We now have food coupons..., meat coupons..., industrial coupons..."
