The world of film and television begins from childhood

About half an hour later, a black BMW SUV drove into the community and stopped a few meters away from him.

The person in the BMW obviously saw Zhou Chen and drove over. The window rolled down, and a pretty face appeared in Zhou Chen's eyes.

"Yu Huanshui. Are you Yu Huanshui?"

The woman called out Zhou Chen's current face. In fact, she didn't know Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen sent a message to Lu Fumeng before he came, so she knew Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen stood up and walked over: "Yes, I am."

He knew that this woman should be Lu Fumeng's current girlfriend, Tang Yun.

Tang Yun looked at Zhou Chen with a little curiosity, and then pushed Lu Fumeng who was lying in the passenger seat.

"Lüvmont."

Lu Fumeng then stood up from the passenger seat, and then he saw Zhou Chen, but his face did not show any joy of seeing his good brother. Instead, he revealed a bit of impatience.

Zhou Chen was naturally good at observing people's expressions. He clearly caught Lu Fumeng's expression and sneered in his heart.

Lu Fumeng opened the car door, got out, walked up to Zhou Chen and gave him a warm hug.

"Haha, long time no see, Lao Yu, where have you been hiding to make a fortune? Why don't you see me?"

Zhou Chen broke free from Lu Fumeng's embrace, took a step back, and said lightly: "It's not that I don't want to see you, but I can't see you because you are so busy."

Lu Fumeng frowned slightly, but still kept smiling: "Haha, Lao Yu, you can tell jokes now."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and said to Tang Yun in the car, "Tang Yun, go back to the studio first. I want to have a good chat with my old classmates."

Tang Yun nodded, then politely said to Zhou Chen: "Okay, I'm leaving now. Bye."

After Tang Yun left, Zhou Chen looked Lv Fumeng up and down, pretending to be surprised and sighed: "Not bad, Lv Fumeng, you are doing so well now, driving a luxury car, living in a luxury house, and having such a beautiful girlfriend."

Lü Fumeng said with a little pride: "This is my current girlfriend, Tang Yun, a painter."

"Ok, Ok."

Zhou Chen congratulated him half-seriously. To be honest, Lu Fumeng's appearance was not outstanding, but Tang Yun was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had a good temperament. She was also a painter. The fact that Lu Fumeng could handle Tang Yun showed that he did have some skills.

"Let's go upstairs and talk."

Lu Fumeng enthusiastically pulled Zhou Chen upstairs.

The house that Lu Fumeng lives in now is really nice, a large flat. The living room alone is dozens of square meters, and there are many paintings hanging on the walls.

Zhou Chen took a quick look at them. How should he put it? These paintings looked good and of some standard. However, if he looked closely, he would find that these paintings were still a little lacking in quality. In his eyes, their value was only average.

From the layout of the house, he knew that it must belong to Tang Yun, an unknown painter who lived in a mansion and drove a luxury car. It went without saying that his family must be well-off.

After sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Zhou Chen started chatting with Lu Fumeng about everything. Under his deliberate guidance, they soon talked about money.

"One hundred and ten thousand, right?"

"It's not 110,000, it's 130,000."

"Oh, yes, about three or four years?"

"Five and a half years."

"That was when I borrowed money from you when I was trading stocks with my girlfriend at the bank, right?"

"Yes, Xiao Zhao."

"Well, that's with interest."

"We are all good brothers, why talk about interest?"

"We need to talk about it. We need to talk about it."

Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, but smiled and said: "If the interest is included, it will be more than 10,000, nearly 150,000."

Lu Fumeng didn't expect Zhou Chen to actually follow his words and laughed dryly, "Really? Is the interest rate that high?"

Zhou Chen still smiled and said: "The bank interest rate is not high. If it is a loan shark outside, 310,000 is too little."

"Haha, loan sharks are out there, Lao Yu, you're really getting better at joking now."

Lu Fumeng didn't want to talk about the interest. He had no intention of paying it back. He just asked curiously, "Lao Yu, did something happen to you?"

Zhou Chen had already prepared a plan, so he said with difficulty: "Yes, I did encounter a problem. It was about my old man. You know my situation a little bit. My stepmother's son is getting married, and the old man at home insisted on asking me for the betrothal money and threatened me with his life. I had no choice but to come to you."

When Lu Fumeng heard this, he was stunned.

"Your father's current wife, your stepmother's son is getting married, and he wants you to pay for the bride price?"

"right?"

"Is this really reasonable?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be filled with righteous indignation and complained bitterly: "But what can I do? He is my old man after all. We are related by blood. He is threatening me with his life. Can I really watch him die?"

Lu Fumeng looked at Zhou Chen as if he were a fool: "So you are ready to compromise? Does your wife have any objection to this?"

"Of course I have some opinions, but this is a matter between men, and it is not her turn as a woman to comment on it."

"You're so tough, Lao Yu. I really have a new respect for you."

Lu Fumeng knew that Yu Huanshui was a henpecked husband, so he was particularly surprised to hear Zhou Chen say this.

"Then how much dowry does your stepmother's son need? How much did your father ask you for?"

"One hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand?"

"Yes, it's one hundred thousand, so I have no choice but to come to you."

Lu Fu rolled his eyes and said, "Nowadays, a hundred thousand yuan is not enough for a wedding gift, right? Especially in a small rural area like yours, the money required for a wedding must be much higher, a hundred thousand yuan is definitely not enough."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I can't care so much about this. Anyway, I will give you 100,000 yuan and I won't care about it anymore after that."

Lü Fumeng said, "It's not as simple as you say. In my opinion, if you take the money this time, they will only become more aggressive in the future."

Zhou Chen looked conflicted, but still gritted his teeth and said, "When you get to the mountain, there will always be a way. I will find a way to solve it. Brother, I'll have to trouble you to return the money to me first."

"Yes, of course."

Lu Fumeng agreed very quickly, but then he changed the subject and pointed to the painting on the wall behind the sofa: "But we have to wait a few days. Look at that painting, it was painted by Tang Yun. Someone wanted to buy it for 300,000 yuan, but I didn't agree. I have to hold an exhibition for it first. After the exhibition, the painting will not be worth this price anymore."

"Celebrity effect?" Zhou Chen asked tentatively.

Lu Fumeng was surprised. "Sure, Lao Yu, you know a lot. You are right. So, your hundreds of thousands are nothing to me."

Zhou Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Really? That's great. I was worried that it would embarrass you. I'm glad you're fine. Here, just deposit the money into this card."

Seeing Zhou Chen take out the bank card like a magic trick, Lu Fumeng had a strange expression on his face. He felt that something was very wrong with Lao Yu today.

"Lao Yu, what I mean is that I will transfer the money to you immediately after the exhibition."

Zhou Chen suddenly became anxious.

"No, I don't have time. I can't wait that long. Lao Lu, my old man is pushing me too hard. He wants to commit suicide. Our family can't stand it. So I have to get the money now. Otherwise, our family will not be able to live well."

Lu Fumeng was in a dilemma: "Old Yu, this matter really cannot be rushed. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. How about this, you wait until I finish my solo exhibition, and then I will pay you back 200,000 yuan. How about that? Isn't that enough brotherly loyalty?"

Looking at Lu Fumeng who was talking nonsense, Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, you are the only one who still has brotherly loyalty?

Chapter 750: Teach Lü Fumeng a lesson and get the money

Lu Fumeng looked at Zhou Chen confidently. Based on his understanding of Yu Huanshui, he knew that Yu Huanshui would definitely be tempted when he heard that there was such a big advantage to be gained.

But this time he was doomed to fail.

Zhou Chen did not show any joy on his face, and said very calmly: "We are brothers, we can't take advantage of others, let's forget about the 200,000, let's just do as we said just now, 150,000 will be enough."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was acting like a brother but was still planning to ask for 20,000 yuan in interest, Lu Fumeng almost couldn't help but curse at him.

"Old Yu, why don't you understand what I'm saying? What I mean is that after Tang Yun's solo exhibition is over, I will give you whatever amount of money you want."

"Really? Fifteen thousand is enough for me. You know I'm not greedy."

Since Lu Fumeng wanted to pretend, he would play along with him. He was free anyway, so he wanted to see how long Lu Fumeng could hold on.

"Old Yu, hey, why are you like this now? I told you that I will give you the money after the solo exhibition is over. It will only take a month or so. Why are you in such a hurry? Are we still brothers?"

Zhou Chen also complained bitterly: "I only do this because I regard you as my brother, because I know that you are the only one who can help me at this time. If you don't return the money to me now, I will really have trouble living when I go back. Brother, you have to think about me too."

Seeing that Zhou Chen refused to give in, Lu Fumeng's expression gradually turned cold.

"Old Yu, since you've said this, I'll be frank with you. I've used all my money to help Tang Yun hold an exhibition, and now I don't have the money to pay you back. If you still consider me a brother, I'll be patient. But if you don't, then I have nothing to say."

Seeing that Lu Fumeng was about to lose control, Zhou Chen stopped being polite and said calmly: "Old Lu, brother, I'm really in trouble. Can you help me?"

Lu Fumeng's face turned completely cold at this moment: "I must get the money today, no room for negotiation?"

"Correct."

After receiving a positive answer, Lu Fumeng no longer pretended.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. I have the money. Fifteen thousand is nothing. But I won't give it to you today. It depends on my mood when I'll give it to you. If I'm in a good mood one day, I'll transfer it to you. But if you keep being like this, I'm sorry, you won't get a penny."

Zhou Chen was not angry, but said calmly: "I have heard that the person who borrows money is the boss now. If the creditor wants money, he has to beg him. I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to us brothers. It seems that I am not a good brother in your eyes, right?"

Lu Fumeng snorted coldly, "Old Yu, you are really getting better at talking now. You are different from the liar you used to be."

"You're right. I used to treat you as my brother, my best buddy. But after Da Zhuang died because of you, you showed me how you lied. Your status in my heart plummeted."

"Okay, Lu Fumeng, stop saying these polite words. I know exactly what you are thinking. I was just trying to save your face."

Zhou Chen showed disdain on his face and no longer concealed it: "I am indeed responsible for Da Zhuang's matter, but that is my business. Don't forget, if you hadn't kept calling, Da Zhuang and I wouldn't have had a car accident. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to put the blame on me, so that you can feel at ease and not be responsible. I have been repenting for what happened back then, but what about you? Apart from the funeral, have you ever been to Da Zhuang's grave to burn paper and visit him?"

Lu Fumeng was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He immediately got angry and stood up suddenly.

"Yu Huanshui, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? Da Zhuang's death is your fault. Don't get involved with me. Also, if you hadn't run a red light and killed Da Zhuang, we would have already become rich and started a company. The food delivery market would belong to us. Do I still need to follow women around every day?"

"I'm telling you today, I won't give you your money today. As I said before, when I'm in a good mood and you make me happy, maybe I'll give you some. But now, don't even think about getting a penny from me."

Zhou Chen also stood up, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face, and he pushed his glasses.

Although his physical fitness has improved, he still inherited Yu Huanshui's myopia problem.

"Lü Fumeng, since I'm here today, I don't plan to go back empty-handed. If you don't give it to me, I have plenty of ways to make you give it to me."

Lu Fumeng said disdainfully, "Just you? What? You want to fight me, or you want to be like a woman, crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang yourself? That's all you can do."

"Yeah, that's all I can do. I can't compare to you."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly made a move, grabbed Lu Fumeng's collar, and lifted Lu Fumeng's body up, scaring Lu Fumeng so much that he struggled frantically.

But the next moment, Zhou Chen slapped him on the head, then grabbed his neck and said lightly: "You'd better not move, or I will make you suffer."

Lu Fumeng, who was struggling frantically, was knocked unconscious, but then the feeling of suffocation made his face turn red, and suddenly, he didn't dare to struggle anymore.

However, he could not hide the shock and disbelief in his eyes. He could not understand what had happened to this Old Yu. He could actually lift up a big man weighing over 100 kilograms with one hand, and did it without hesitation. The look in his eyes really gave him a horrible feeling that he would be strangled to death.

Zhou Chen patted his face gently and said softly, "That's right, let's talk nicely if we can. Don't get angry all the time. It's tiring to hold you up. If you agree to cooperate, I'll put you down. If you don't, I..."

Before he could finish, Lu Fumeng, with his face flushed red, nodded vigorously.

"Haha, a man who knows the current situation is a hero, not bad, not bad."

Zhou Chen patted Lu Fumeng's face twice, then put Lu Fumeng down and loosened his hand.

After regaining his freedom, Lu Fumeng took a few steps back in fear, away from Zhou Chen, then covered his neck and coughed several times in succession.

Zhou Chen sat back in his seat leisurely, crossed his legs, and said calmly, "I have always believed in convincing people with reason, and that harmony brings wealth. Using violence is the behavior of barbarians, but there is no other way. For some people, being polite is useless, so you can only use this barbaric method. Lao Lu, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Although Lu Fumeng's face was full of anger and unwillingness, he did not dare to refute Zhou Chen's words. He was frightened by what had just happened.

He didn't expect that Yu Huanshui, who was a waste in his eyes, would have such great strength, and his aura was so terrifying, as if he really wanted to kill him.

Seeing that Lu Fumeng didn't answer, Zhou Chen said to himself: "I just want my own money, which is not too much. What I just said was just a warning to you. If I can't get the money today, then neither of us will have a good life."

Although Lv Fumeng was terrified, he still managed to remain calm and said, "Lao Yu, I really don't have that much money on me right now."

"If you don't have one, you can ask your girlfriend for it. I think she's quite rich. One painting can sell for hundreds of thousands."

"The painting hasn't been sold yet."

Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold, he pushed his glasses and said coldly: "Lü Fumeng, did I really give you face? I'll say it one last time, now, immediately, give me the money right away, otherwise I will ask your girlfriend for it. I think she should be very interested in what I say."

Lü Fumeng was startled and quickly stopped him: "No, Lao Yu, no, we are best brothers, you can't do this, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."
