The world of film and television begins from childhood

After Zhou Chen's introduction, Nan Li already knew the process of writing a novel, signing contracts, recommending it for publication, etc...

Just as he was about to brag to Nan Li, his cell phone rang. He looked and it was Yan Peng again.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Zhou Chen answered the phone with some dissatisfaction. This guy called at a really bad time.

"Brother, you should have seen the Silver Alliance, right?"

Zhou Chen's face changed, "You mean, the Silver Alliance just now was rewarded by you?"

"Yes, brother. I read your novel after I got home. It's awesome. I didn't expect your novel is so good. I have recommended it to my friends."

Seeing Nan Li giggling beside him, Zhou Chen's face turned black. He boasted for a long time, but it turned out that it was a reward from Yan Peng. He had just boasted to Nan Li about it. It was so damn embarrassing.

"Just watch it, why give me a reward? I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you later."

"No, brother. I'm not giving you a reward because of you. The novel is really good. If you give it back to me, that's fine. Okay, brother, I won't say anything more. I want to read it again, and then help you promote it in my game group and forum."

After saying that, he hung up without waiting for Zhou Chen to speak.

"Cough cough."

Zhou Chen coughed twice and said to Nan Li who was trying not to laugh: "Laugh if you want to. Yan Peng is really a bad guy who is not good at doing anything but doing harm."

Nan Li stopped smiling and instead grabbed Zhou Chen's right hand and placed it on her face.

"Hubby, you're the best. I'm sure your novel will be a big hit and buy us lots of stuff."

He pulled Nan Li over and kissed her: "No more talking, I'm going to update the first Silver Alliance. Although it was rewarded by Yan Peng, I still need to update it."

"Go ahead, husband, come on."

Looking at Nan Li who raised her hand to cheer him on, her lovely look made his heart flutter. If it wasn’t for the wrong time and place, he would definitely…

Chapter 13: Saint Mary Teacher Zhang Xueer

"Dad, Mom, hurry up."

Huanhuan, wearing a brand new white school uniform, pulled Chaochao and anxiously urged Zhou Chen and Nan Li in the room.

"I'm coming."

Zhou Chen walked out of the room. Today he was wearing a white round-neck T-shirt, a light yellow jacket, and blue jeans.

Nan Li followed behind Zhou Chen. She was wearing a white jumpsuit and a silk scarf. The white jumpsuit matched her skin, making her look both holy and beautiful.

In order to participate in Huanhuan's singing competition, she got up early this morning and started packing, and has been busy until now.

"Dad, Mom, you are too slow." Huanhuan complained to Zhou Chen and Nan Li.

Nan Li said: "It's not time yet, don't worry, today is the final, you have to keep your mind and don't be careless."

"Your mother is right. You can't be careless. You must do your best."

Zhou Chen was a little excited, because he knew very well that the plot of Xiao Shede started after Huanhuan participated in the singing competition, and today, he would be able to meet the famous Tian Yulan and her mother, Cai Juying.

During the time he traveled through, apart from writing novels, everything else was the same as before. Now that the plot is finally about to begin, he can't help but feel excited.

A few days ago, he invested all his money in Bitcoin, buying 400,000 at one time, and the price has been slowly rising in the past few days.

The novel already has more than 200,000 words and is about to be put on the shelves. This month I will be able to get the reward money from last month, and next month I will be able to get the subscription money.

Everything is moving in a good direction, which means a lot to Zhou Chen, because he knows very well that money will play a very important role in the days to come.

This week, Zhou Chen also met Mi Tao’s mother.

However, when Nan Li found out that Mi Tao's mother was also working at Tian Yulan's house, she couldn't help but complain to Zhou Chen, saying that they had to deal with something as trivial as hiring a part-time worker, and it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

Faced with Nan Li's complaints, Zhou Chen could only comfort her with a smile.

Zhou Chen drove the car, and the family of four happily drove to Fengfan Primary School. Because there was an activity at the school today, many parents came to the school.

Huanhuan was going to participate in a competition, so after arriving at school, she went to the backstage of the classroom to meet up.

The activity had not started yet, and Zhou Chen and Nan Li were taking Chaochao for a stroll around the school.

While walking on the road, Nan Li's phone rang. It turned out to be a call from her father, Nan Jianlong. Nan Jianlong knew that Huanhuan was going to participate in a competition today, so he called to ask about the situation.

Zhou Chen keenly discovered that Nan Li's attitude when speaking to his father was completely different from her attitude when speaking to the eldest princess' mother, and it seemed a bit perfunctory.

Recently, he occasionally talked to Nan Li about her father in a roundabout way, but every time Nan Li either said a few words and stopped, or seemed impatient.

It can be seen that Nan Li has not yet gotten over the fact that her old man cheated on her during their marriage.

Zhou Chen understood Nan Li. Just when his daughter was about to take the college entrance examination, her old man cheated on her and divorced her. Who could tolerate this?

"Teacher Zhang."

A woman was walking towards them, and when Nan Li saw her, she immediately shouted.

Zhou Chen recognized her as soon as he saw her. Wasn't this Huanhuan's homeroom teacher, the famous saintly teacher Zhang in the drama?

In the TV series, Teacher Zhang is also an important supporting role. His personality, teaching style and teaching philosophy are definitely not something that ordinary teachers can possess.

It is not an exaggeration to say that among a hundred teachers, there may not be one Teacher Zhang.

Zhou Chen did not deny Teacher Zhang's teaching style. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this kind of teacher is pretty good, and most students like such a class teacher.

But actually?

If students don’t aim to learn, then what is the aim?

Sometimes it is not that parents want to force their children to study, but because they have all experienced it and know very well how difficult it will be in the society without a diploma.

Unless your family is really wealthy and there is a second generation of rich people waiting to inherit the family fortune, at least 90% of people have to rely on their diplomas to make a living.

"Huanhuan's father, Huanhuan's mother, are you here to cheer for Huanhuan?"

Teacher Zhang is very young and beautiful, and she looks very friendly when she smiles.

Nan Li: "Yes, today is Huanhuan's big day, our whole family is here to cheer her on."

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "Huanhuan is so lucky to have parents like you. I've seen Huanhuan's rehearsal. As long as she performs normally, she will definitely get a place."

Huanhuan has a cheerful personality, is good at singing and dancing, and is also the deputy class monitor. Teachers all like such students.

Nan Li was all smiles when she received the praise from Teacher Zhang. Every parent is proud of their children, and she is no exception.

Zhou Chen asked, "Teacher Zhang, Huanhuan has been preparing for the singing competition recently. Has she not fallen behind in her studies?"

Teacher Zhang was stunned when she heard this and was very surprised. In her memory, Huanhuan's parents never seemed to have too many requirements for Huanhuan's studies. Today, they actually took the initiative to ask about studies, which surprised her.

"No, Huanhuan works very hard. Although he is preparing for the competition, he has not fallen behind in his studies. Our school organizes these competitions on the premise that they will not affect his studies. Huanhuan's father, don't worry."

"I don't worry about it."

Zhou Chen smiled on the surface, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. If he didn't know that Huanhuan would rank last in the midterm exam, he would really have believed what Teacher Zhang said like Nan Li did.

"That's good. By the way, where is Zhong Yi? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Is he okay now?"

Speaking of Zhong Yi, Zhou Chen sighed in his heart. What a small sacrifice, what a small sacrifice. In the whole TV series, everyone else was willing to gain, but Zhong Yi was the only one who sacrificed. This is the tragedy that runs through the whole play.

Teacher Zhang replied, "Zhong Yi is not here today. If you need anything from him, I can tell him."

"Nothing, I just thought we haven't seen each other for a long time, so when he's free, we can get together."

Zhou Chen smiled. Zhong Yi and Zhang Xueer were boyfriend and girlfriend, but their teaching philosophies were completely different.

Zhang Xueer focuses on students' physical and mental health, with academic performance coming second; while Zhong Yi pursues academic performance. In his opinion, students' grades are what matters, and as long as their grades improve, everything else can be ignored.

There is nothing wrong with these two different educational philosophies, but the key is that no one can grasp the right balance.

After parting with Zhang Xueer, Nan Li asked Zhou Chen in confusion, "Hubby, what's wrong with you today? You're actually concerned about Huanhuan's study problems. Also, I asked you to contact your junior brother Zhong Yidu and ask him to take care of Huanhuan properly, but you didn't agree. Why did you say you wanted to get together with him in front of Teacher Zhang today?"

"It's a different time now. Before, I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Now that I realize it, of course I have to make some changes."

"What's the seriousness of the problem? What are you talking about? It's scary." Nan Li didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant at all.

Zhou Chen did not explain, but just said: "I'll tell you when we get back. The game is about to start. Let's go there quickly."

Chapter 14 Buying Flowers

Zhou Chen and his family of three entered the classroom. After entering, they found that there were indeed quite a lot of people. In addition to students, parents also accounted for half of the people. It was very noisy and lively.

It can be seen that the school attaches great importance to this art competition.

The family of three found a seat near the front row and sat down, then waited for the show to begin.

The show started soon. Zhou Chen was very interested in watching the performance of the primary school students on the stage, thinking that there was no such scene when he was in school.

Children nowadays are much better off than when they were in school, both economically and in various activities.

After about an hour of one performance after another, it was finally Huanhuan's turn to perform.

Huanhuan's program was singing, and it was a chorus, but Huanhuan was the lead singer. While she was singing, Zhou Chen and Nan Li held up their mobile phones to film her until she finished singing.

"I'll send the video to my mom and my old man."

After Huanhuan stepped down from the stage, Nan Li started using her mobile phone to send the video to her mother Zhao Na and father Nan Jianlong, while Zhou Chen held Chaochao and watched the show below.

Just when Zhou Chen was watching with great interest, Nan Li suddenly pushed him.

"what happened?"

Nan Li said, "Huanhuan performed so well today, she will definitely win a prize. We also need to prepare. I will take care of Chaochao. You go to the flower shop near the school to buy a bunch of flowers and give them to Huanhuan when she comes out as a token of encouragement."

"Do you want to buy flowers? No, it's not a big deal."

Zhou Chen felt that it was a bit unnecessary. He was not even sure of winning the prize, but he was already buying flowers. He was too spoiled.

Nan Li looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you today? Usually you are more active than anyone else in doing this kind of thing. Why are you acting abnormally today?"

Zhou Chen explained: "It's not abnormal, but I think buying flowers is really unnecessary. At worst, we can prepare a big meal for her later, and buying flowers for you is almost the same."

To be honest, he really felt that Huanhuan's spoiled character was caused by the couple, so he was ready to start changing it little by little.

But Nan Li didn't know what Zhou Chen was thinking. She just felt that her husband no longer doted on Huanhuan like before. Instead, he paid more attention to her. He would call her when he went to work every day and would hug her and sleep face to face with her at night.

How to put it, it made her feel like she was back in the early days of their passionate love, he was especially clingy to her, she hadn't felt this feeling for a long time.

I remember the last time they were so affectionate was before Huanhuan was born. Since Huanhuan was born, my husband's attention has obviously been largely focused on our daughter.

Although this is a very normal thing, she still felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after so many years, she has long been accustomed to it.

But who would have thought that in recent times, her husband has changed again. He has been nicer and more affectionate to her, but he is no longer as doting on Huanhuan as before.

Even Huanhuan sensed this and secretly asked her if she had done anything to make her father unhappy.

Nan Li didn't know the reason for this change, but she was happy in her heart because her husband's love for her had deepened. But she was also concerned about the relationship between her daughter and her husband, so she felt very complicated.

Just like now, she asked him to buy flowers for his daughter to celebrate, but she said it was unnecessary and instead bought her flowers. This made her really angry and happy.

"Stop it. Today is very important to Huanhuan. We can't let her down. If you don't go, I will."

"Go, I'll go, I'll go."

Zhou Chen quickly agreed, then stood up and walked out of the classroom.

After walking to the school gate and asking about the locations of the flower shops nearby, he walked over.

After walking for a few minutes, I arrived at the nearest flower shop.

"Hello, sir. Are you here to buy flowers?"

As soon as I walked in, a female clerk came up to me and was very enthusiastic.

“Yes, buy flowers.”

"Then may I ask, sir, are you going to give it to someone or keep it at home?"

"For my daughter, I don't know what flowers to buy?"

If asked what flowers he gave to his girlfriend, Zhou Chen could still tell, red roses, but he really didn't know what flowers his father gave to his daughter.

The female salesperson introduced the flowers in detail: "If you want to give birthday flowers to your daughter, you can choose white roses, sunflowers, gerberas, hyacinths... The flower language of white roses is..., and the flower language of sunflowers is..."

"Etc., etc."

Watching the female clerk talking nonstop, Zhou Chen felt a headache. It's just sending flowers, why make it so complicated? First there are so many varieties, and then there are so many flower languages, who can remember it all?
