The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Go out and play?" Yang Tao asked in surprise.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, let's go somewhere far away to have some fun and travel, just the two of us."

“Travel.”

Yang Tao fell into deep thought. In order to make money to pay off her debts in the past few years, she had hardly had a long break, let alone a trip.

"Yes, let's go traveling, Taozi. I just want to take you out to see and play before I get busy. Can you take some time off?"

Yang Tao thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a problem to ask for leave. I haven't had a New Year's holiday in the past few years. But where do you want to go?"

Zhou Chen said: "If we go abroad, passport visas are too troublesome and a waste of time. Let's just have some fun in China. With the weather like this, we can either go to an island or go hiking. How do you think?"

Yang Tao said: "The island is too far away, how about we go hiking?"

Zhou Chen naturally would not object: "If you want to go mountain climbing, there are several good places to go, such as Huangshan, Taishan, Huashan, etc. Which one do you want to go to?"

"It's too boring to take a plane or a high-speed train. I want to travel by car, so I can't go too far, but it's not interesting to go too close either. Zhou Chen, where do you think we should go?"

After her relationship with Zhou Chen heated up rapidly, Yang Tao also wanted to spend more time with Zhou Chen. She was no longer as wary of Zhou Chen as before.

Because she could feel that Zhou Chen really wanted to be with her, and she had been in contact with Zhou Chen for such a long time and felt that Zhou Chen was someone she could rely on, so she didn't mind traveling with Zhou Chen.

"According to your idea, Mount Tai should be the most suitable place. The distance is about 500 kilometers."

Five hundred kilometers is not close, but compared with several other famous mountains, Mount Tai is indeed the closest one.

Yang Tao dragged his chin and said, "If it's 500 kilometers, we can take turns driving. If we take a break on the way, it should be about seven or eight hours. Two days for the round trip, plus a few days for fun, will five days be enough?"

Zhou Chen said: "Five days is enough. We can leave in the afternoon and arrive in the evening, and we can play for one more day."

Yang Tao said happily: "Well, then I will take a five-day leave tomorrow. I will get off work early the day after tomorrow afternoon, and we will leave after get off work."

"No problem. I'll arrange things at the store and leave the day after tomorrow afternoon."

Chapter 89: Journey of Love (First Order)

Yang Tao went home and told her mother Xue Sumei that she was going to travel with Zhou Chen for a few days, which surprised Xue Sumei.

"Peach, got it?"

Yang Tao was immediately embarrassed: "Mom, what do you mean by taken down? Can you put it in a nicer way?"

Xue Sumei: "You are all going on a trip, so you have won her over, right? Not bad, Taozi, you have lived up to your mother's expectations and have grasped Xiao Zhou, this outstanding child. I always say that my daughter has good taste."

Cousin Su Qing asked, "Taozi, are you and Zhou Chen the only ones going this time?"

"Yes, isn't it? His bridal shop is going to open soon, and he's worried that he'll be too busy after the opening and won't have time to accompany me, so he wants to go on a trip before then."

Xue Sumei was a little nervous when she heard this: "Taozi, don't blame me for being nosy. Since you two are going out to play, you have to protect yourself. Although you have established a relationship, girls still have to be reserved. Um, do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Tao's face suddenly turned red: "Mom, what are you talking about? I know what to do."

"No, Mom is teaching you that girls should not be too casual, otherwise people will look down on you. Although I am optimistic about Xiao Zhou, you are my daughter."

"Auntie, Auntie."

Su Qing quickly advised: "Aunt, Taozi is already an adult. She knows her limits and knows what to do and what not to do."

"What sense can she have?"

Xue Sumei had a look of disdain on her face. She was really conflicted. She wanted her daughter to get married early, but she was also worried that her daughter would suffer and be looked down upon, so she was very conflicted.

"Taozi, when are you leaving?"

"I'll leave directly after get off work tomorrow afternoon. We'll drive there ourselves, on a self-driving tour."

Su Qing: "If you are traveling by car, you must pay attention to safety. You must also be careful when driving and take turns driving when appropriate."

"Sister, I understand. You and mom can rest assured."

While eating, Xue Sumei suddenly said, "Taozi, have you visited Xiao Zhou's bridal shop? I've been there several times, and the decoration is so beautiful. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Yang Tao replied: "I heard him say that the total cost of rent including decoration was less than three million, but the rent was expensive in that location. In fact, the decoration cost only a few hundred thousand because he did the decoration design there himself."

"Three million?"

Xue Sumei was very surprised when she heard this figure, because the store hasn't even opened yet, but she has already spent so much money. It will definitely cost a lot more to recruit workers, pay wages, buy equipment, etc.

"Taozi, do you know how much property Xiao Zhou has?"

"mom."

Yang Tao said dissatisfiedly: "What are you thinking? How much money he has is his business. Why should I ask this?"

Xue Sumei said angrily, "How come you are so clueless, kid? You two are doing well. If you get married in the future, you must learn more about the situation. Xiao Zhou told me before that he has tens of millions of assets, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Mom, I really don't know what to say to you. Do you want me to be happy or to have a lot of money?"

Yang Tao seemed very unhappy. She knew that Zhou Chen was rich, at least richer than the average family. But she was not dating Zhou Chen for money, so she didn't want to hear her mother talk about money. When she heard her mother talk about money, she felt that she was after the money.

"I'm thinking about your future. If you have money, you can live a good life in the future. If you don't have money, he opened such a big store. If he loses money in the future, won't you have to live a hard life with him? And Xiao Zhou hasn't bought a wedding house yet. Don't you think mom can't worry too much?"

Xue Sumei tried to persuade him earnestly. She was optimistic about Zhou Chen, but she had to consider the reality more. After all, what Zhou Chen said was just talk, and it was impossible to tell whether it was true or false. Only fixed assets like houses could make her feel more at ease.

"Taozi, if you really want to marry Xiao Zhou, you should think about it more. The house opposite our house is being sold. You can try to ask Xiao Zhou if he has any ideas in this regard. If you can buy a house opposite and live there, then mom can cook for you, do housework, and help you take care of your children in the future. Isn't that good?"

"This is just the beginning, Mom. You're thinking too far ahead. We are still getting used to each other and are far from getting married."

"Who can say for sure about this? If you young people can't control yourself and get pregnant, you'll have to get married right away."

"Mom, what are you talking about? You're pregnant. I think you're just imagining things."

Yang Tao was defeated by her mother's imagination. She started thinking about pregnancy before the baby even got pregnant. Did she really think that she could get pregnant by just kissing?

"Mom, I'm full. I need to go back and pack my things first. I can leave directly after get off work tomorrow."

Watching her daughter leave in a hurry, Xue Sumei shouted, "Be careful when you go out tomorrow."

"I got it, Mom."

After Yang Tao left, Xue Sumei sighed helplessly: "This child is really heartless. If he was deceived and sold, he would probably help others count the money."

Su Qing said: "I don't think Zhou Chen is that kind of person. He is different from the previous Li Wei."

"Don't mention that bastard to me. If it weren't for him, how could Taozi not have gotten married until now?"

When Xue Sumei heard the name, she became so angry that she started cursing, and Su Qing didn't dare to continue speaking.

The next afternoon, Yang Tao returned home quickly after get off work, and Zhou Chen had already been waiting downstairs in her house. After the two went upstairs to get their gifts, they followed the navigation and headed straight for Taishan.

Because they had to drive a long distance this time, Zhou Chen filled up the gas and checked the car before setting off. Although it was a new car, he still had to check it again for safety reasons. After finding that there were no problems, he went to Yang Tao's house and waited downstairs.

"Let's go, let's go!"

After getting on the highway, Yang Tao shouted excitedly. She hadn't traveled far away for a long time, and all the excitement in her heart was released at this moment.

Zhou Chen smiled as he watched Yang Tao's excitement. After a long time, Yang Tao finally calmed down.

"Zhou Chen, I have booked a hotel, two rooms, right next door."

Zhou Chen said: "Why do we need to book two rooms? I think a suite with a double bed is enough for us."

"You think beautifully."

Yang Tao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't try to do anything bad to me. I'm smart and I will never let you get away with it."

"Then tell me, what bad idea do I have?" Zhou Chen said with a wicked smile.

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Yang Tao continued, "The hotel I booked is relatively close to Mount Tai. After we arrive tonight, we will have a good rest. We will not drive there tomorrow morning. We can get there quickly by taxi. However, Mount Tai is so high that I really don't have the courage to climb to the top."

Mount Tai is more than 1,500 meters high, and it is really difficult to climb it, especially for women. Without sufficient physical strength, it is difficult to climb to the top of the mountain.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I have good physical strength. If you can't climb up by then, I will carry you up and will definitely not take the cable car."

His current physical fitness has already reached 11 points through adding points, and he has never stopped exercising in the past few months. Over the past few months, his physical fitness has increased a little bit.

When an ordinary person is at his healthiest, his physical fitness is about 10 points. Zhou Chen's physical fitness of 12 points is better than the healthiest state of an ordinary person. Both his physical strength and endurance are naturally enhanced.

"I don't want you to carry me. I can climb up by myself."

Yang Tao clenched her fists and said confidently that she didn't want to lose face in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said: "Okay, then we will spend more time climbing the mountain, and try to climb up before sunset in the afternoon. We can stay on the mountain overnight and get up in the morning to watch the sunrise."

Yang Tao nodded repeatedly: "It must be a special experience to watch the sunrise and sunset on the top of Mount Tai, which is more than a thousand meters above sea level."

"Especially when you sit and watch the sunrise and sunset with your loved one, that is the most beautiful thing."

The sudden love words made Yang Tao feel sweet in her heart, and she thought so too.

Chapter 90: Old-fashioned Plastic Flower Sisters (First Order Request)

Yang Tao, who has worked as a lobby manager in a hotel for many years, is very familiar with this aspect. The hotel he chose is not the biggest, but it has all kinds of facilities and the environment is also pretty good. It has its own parking lot, which saves them from looking for a place to park.

"Why don't you invite me in to sit down? I can even warm your bed for you."

Standing at Yang Tao's door, Zhou Chen asked with a smile.

The two rooms are adjacent to each other. The environment of the rooms cannot be said to be very good, but it is not bad either. It is of medium level and costs more than 200 yuan per night. According to Yang Tao, this is already the most cost-effective room.

"No, I can turn on the air conditioner. Go back to sleep and stay alert. Don't think about those messy things. We still have to climb the mountain tomorrow."

Yang Tao pushed and pulled Zhou Chen out of the room.

"Good night, sleep well."

Zhou Chen smiled and walked back to his room. He had been driving all the way. Yang Tao wanted to change cars halfway, but Zhou Chen did not let her drive.

After driving for more than seven hours, even though Zhou Chen was in good physical condition, he was still a little tired. In addition, he had to climb a mountain tomorrow and needed to maintain sufficient physical strength, so after taking a shower, Zhou Chen fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, Zhou Chen and Yang Tao got up early, ate breakfast quickly, took important documents, put all the prepared food in the backpack, carried it by Zhou Chen, and took a taxi to Mount Tai.

Because it is not a legal holiday, this 5A-level tourist attraction is not crowded, but there are still many people coming from all directions. It can be seen that this place is still very lively and prosperous.

Zhou Chen and Yang Tao were both wearing sportswear and sneakers. After buying the tickets, they first walked around the foot of the mountain, took some photos, and then started climbing the mountain.

When Zhou Chen and his friends started climbing the mountain, Xue Sumei, who was far away in Yanjing, was not idle either.

Last night, Xue Sumei's old friend Liu Xiu asked her to come out for tea, so she got up in the morning, dressed up, and went out.

"Sumei, you are late."

As soon as Xue Sumei arrived at her destination, she saw two old friends. One of the fatter women laughed.

Another woman, who was wearing bright clothes and had permed hair, said in a sarcastic tone, "Xiu'er, Su Mei came last because she wanted to be the last one."

Xue Sumei sat down and laughed, "I have done too many things for the finale, but this time there is indeed a traffic jam. Xiu'er, Caiping, seeing how radiant you two are, you must have been doing well recently."

Lan Caiping said with a fake smile: "Compared to you, Su Mei, we are far behind. Seeing your smile, did you pick up some money on the road?"

Xue Sumei also replied in a strange voice: "I didn't find any money, but I was almost bitten by a dog."

"You." Lan Caiping was immediately furious.

"Okay, Sumei, Caiping, this is the first time we've gotten together in the new year, so I'm telling you in advance that my eldest grandson will be a year old in a few months, and I thought that my old colleagues in the drama troupe haven't gotten together for a long time, so I wanted to take this opportunity to get everyone together. What do you think?"

Liu Xiu interrupted the bickering between Xue Sumei and Lan Caiping and talked about his purpose.

"This is a good thing."

Xue Sumei immediately applauded and agreed: "We are all old, and it has been a long time since we got together. It would be great if we could get together this time."

Lan Caiping said unwillingly, "I have no objection. I will go with our old Hao when the time comes."

Liu Xiu said happily, "That's great. If Captain Hao can come, then everyone else will definitely come too. Cai Ping, we have to make this clear. On that day, you must bring Captain Hao with you."

"Of course. My words are still useful. Old Hao will definitely go when the time comes." After Lan Caiping finished speaking, she glanced at Xue Sumei with a smug look.

This look made Xue Sumei very angry, but she had no choice. The other person's husband was the director of a drama troupe, while she was single now, so she definitely could not compete with him.

"Xiu'er, are you planning to have a big party for your grandson's first birthday this time?"

Liu Xiu showed a helpless look: "Alas, actually my idea is to just have a family meal together, but my son and daughter-in-law disagree, saying that they have many friends and it would be unreasonable if we don't have a big party. Besides, my in-laws also have the same idea. I have no choice but to agree. Alas, there will be at least 50 or 60 tables, and I have to entertain them. It's annoying."

The shrewd Xue Sumei and Lan Caiping both had twitching faces. They have been sisters for decades, so they should know each other well. These words seemed helpless, but in fact they were just showing off.

Lan Caiping changed the subject and said, "Xiu'er, you are still the best. Your son is married, and his daughter-in-law's family is a wealthy family. It's different from me and Sumei, whose daughter hasn't even started a family yet."
