The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Okay, it's up to you."

It was 98, and two hundred thousand was a considerable sum of money, but Zhou Chen quickly asked Xu Zhiyun to deliver the two hundred thousand to Shen Mo.

"Half a year, Shen Dongliang, your good days will only last half a year at most. After half a year, I will make you live a life worse than death."

A cold light flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes. Killing a man like Shen Dongliang would be too easy for him. He must let him feel the dangers of the world.

Few people knew that Zhou Chen was imprisoned. After he was released, he went to the school and explained the situation.

Because he solved the problem well and did not leave any criminal record, the school leaders only warned him but did not punish him.

However, his familiar mentor told him that after this incident, his chances of staying in school after graduation might be rescinded.

In response to this, Zhou Chen just smiled faintly. He really didn't care much about the place to stay in school. The biggest purpose of choosing to be a counselor was to get in touch with Shen Mo.

Now that he has achieved his goal, let alone not being able to stay in school as an assistant teacher, he would not be reluctant even if he was not allowed to be a counselor now.

To him, Dr. Hua was just a passing visitor, and there was nothing worth his lingering about.

Not to mention his own abilities, if he really wanted to make money, the fact that he was a master's graduate from Huayi University would be enough for him to find a job.

At a roadside stall, Zhou Chen and Ma Desheng sat together drinking porridge and eating buns.

"You're really good, it's only been a few days and you've come out intact. How did you deal with that guy?"

Zhou Chen drank a mouthful of porridge, took a bite of a meat bun, and said in a vague voice: "What else can I do? I have to spend money. Although I didn't hit anyone, I can't explain it clearly. In order to avoid being sentenced, I can only spend money to buy peace."

"Cough cough..."

Ma Desheng almost spit out his food and looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment. How the hell do you have the nerve to say something like that?

You have to know that he wanted to help Zhou Chen at that time, but after reading the transcript, he basically knew the ins and outs of the matter.

What the hell is self-mutilation? What the hell is this? You are so scared. You can fight murderers with ease, so how can you be scared by someone's self-mutilation?

"As a qualified criminal police captain, I must severely criticize and denounce people like you who violate the law and discipline. Now we live in a society ruled by law, which is different from before. You'd better not use those unpresentable tricks in the future. I don't want to arrest you personally one day."

He is a criminal police captain and he always deals with things rather than people. Zhou Chen's behavior is indeed inappropriate and he naturally disapproves of it.

But he is also a human being with emotions and desires. During the time he and Zhou Chen have known each other, to be honest, he feels that Zhou Chen is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble, let alone beat someone up like that. You have to know that even the murderer in the past was treated just like that by Zhou Chen.

As the old saying goes, you can judge a person by his face but not his heart. There was a ruthlessness in Zhou Chen's eyes, but he just felt that Zhou Chen was not a bad person. He didn't know why, he just felt that way.

He always felt that there was something he didn't know, but now that Zhou Chen was fine, he didn't want to ask too much.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then you won't have this opportunity. I am a good citizen who abides by the law and will never do anything illegal."

Ma Desheng's mouth twitched: "It would be best."

Zhou Chen changed the subject and said, "Although this incident didn't cause me much trouble, it did cause some minor problems. I have no chance of staying in school. I am considering whether to take the forensic examination and become your colleague."

Ma Desheng looked shocked: "Are you serious?"

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Just saying, if I really don't find a good job, maybe I will take the exam."

"Then I'll wait for you..."

…………

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and in summer, Zhou Chen officially graduated from Huayi and became a master's graduate.

When he graduated, there were some hospitals that wanted to recruit him, but he rejected them all. He didn't want to leave Hualin yet, and he didn't want to work in the hospital for the time being.

After graduation, he would go to the Internet cafe when he had nothing to do, sometimes chatting with Xu Zhiyun, but more often he would stay at home.

Xu Zhiyun is busy now. With Zhou Chen's help, she made a lot of money in Hong Kong. Then she used her connections to open up the Hong Kong market. Now most of her energy is focused on Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and she has less time to return to Hualin.

Zhou Chen was not surprised by Xu Zhiyun's ambition.

Everyone has ambitions in life, for power, for money, for sex...

As for Xu Zhiyun, this woman has been married and divorced. She has become open-minded about matters between men and women and has no intention of getting married at all. What she pursues now is more about money and status.

In other words, Zhou Chen was able to crush her physically, mentally and intellectually and conquer her. Otherwise, he really would not be able to control this woman.

In comparison, Shen Mo is very much to Zhou Chen's liking. She is a soft and cute girl, sensible and obedient, devoted to him and more considerate than the ambitious Xu Zhiyun.

It gets dark later in the summer. It was already seven o'clock when Zhou Chen went out, but it was just evening. He had made an appointment with Shen Mo to have dinner at a food stall near the Internet cafe, so he waited until the sun went down before setting out.

As soon as he walked out of the building and passed the carport, he was stopped by Wang Xiang.

"Zhou Chen, are you going out?"

"Yeah, Uncle Wang, did you just get off work?"

Wang Xiang smiled and nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhou Chen, I shouldn't be telling you this, but your father passed away early, and no one has told you these things, so I'll just take the time to tell you a few words."

Zhou Chen was confused by Wang Xiang and asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you want to say?"

Wang Xiang said, "It's been a few days since you graduated. I see you seldom go out these days, and you still haven't found a job. This won't work. You can't find a job just by staying at home. You have to go out and look for one yourself. It's hard to find a job now. If you keep putting it off like this, it will be even harder to find a good job."

Zhou Chen was suddenly speechless. He thought Wang Xiang wanted to say something, but it turned out that he just wanted him to find a job because he was doing nothing at home.

"Uncle Wang, even though I often stay at home, I actually have a source of income. I'm doing business with someone."

Wang Xiang got even more anxious when he heard this: "You're going into the sea? What are you thinking? You're a college student, oh, a master's degree graduate, a top student. You don't want to work for the government. Why do you want to follow others and go into the sea? You're so foolish. Uncle advises you to stop right away. If you really can't do it, go to work in the hospital affiliated to Huagang. With your degree, there will be no problem."

Zhou Chen felt a headache. This Uncle Wang had a good heart, but he had a bad habit of meddling in other people's affairs. Not only did he meddle in other people's affairs a lot, he also nagged them a lot.

"Uncle Wang, I know what's going on. I'm sorry, but I have an appointment with someone and I'm running out of time, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Xiang to reply, he pushed the motorcycle out and ran away.

"Hey, I haven't finished talking yet. This kid is just like my little bastard. He doesn't listen to advice or elders, and now he is suffering."

Wang Xiang had a look of disappointment on his face. He put his hands behind his back and staggered upstairs.

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at Xingchen Internet Cafe, Shen Mo came up to him happily and took the initiative to grab Zhou Chen's hand.

Now that Shen Mo's freshman year has ended, it is summer vacation. Zhou Chen originally wanted to let her live in his home, but Shen Mo was embarrassed to do so, so she ended up renting a house in a bungalow next to the Internet cafe, which was less than 200 meters away.

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong also lived with Shen Mo in the rented house. As for the room on the second floor of the Internet cafe, it was given to two younger brothers recruited by Fu Weijun.

Chapter 945: Breaking the scene and killing people

Xingchen Internet Cafe has been in operation for three months, and now the business has stabilized and is absolutely booming. When the rest day comes, all forty machines are full.

Internet fee plus snack fee, the monthly net profit is to , which is definitely a super high income level in this era.

However, the management of Internet cafes has not always been smooth. On the contrary, conflicts often occur in Internet cafes because the vast majority of people who come to surf the Internet are young people, and their youthful vigor often leads to conflicts with others.

However, with Fu Weijun and his younger brothers in the Internet cafe, they did things in an organized manner, using both soft and hard tactics, and it was easy to resolve conflicts. So after three months, there was no major trouble and the situation was relatively stable.

Leaving Fu Weijun's two younger brothers in the Internet cafe to watch over the situation, Zhou Chen brought Shen Mo, Fu Weijun, Sui Dong and Wu Qifa to the food stall nearby.

Actually, there were no food stalls here originally, but because of the popularity of Xingchen Internet Cafe, some quick-witted businessmen immediately opened the first food stall in the open space next to the Internet cafe, and then the second. So far, there are three food stalls.

It’s no wonder that after these three food stalls opened, business was very good. In addition to people who came to surf the Internet, many residents from the surrounding areas also came to eat.

"Come, sit down, everyone."

There are five people. Zhou Chen and Wu Qifa are of the same age and are the oldest among them, but Zhou Chen is the boss, so he is naturally the one in charge.

After everyone sat down, Zhou Chen ordered some food and took out a box of beer, which he started drinking with the cold dishes.

"Old Wu, how's the talk with the store next door going?"

Due to the popularity of the Internet cafe, forty machines were actually not enough, especially during peak hours when many people had to wait and gathered in the Internet cafe, which was very chaotic, so Zhou Chen began to think about expanding the scale.

The easiest way was naturally to expand the store, starting with the storefront next door, so he asked Wu Qifa to discuss it.

Although Wu Qifa is a technical staff, he is much more mature than Fu Weijun and other young people. He will go to find out the situation first, and Zhou Chen will go to talk to him later.

Wu Qifa cursed, "That bastard, seeing that our Internet cafe is doing well, wants to expand the scale, and he's asking for more than twice our rent. I think we should let Xiaojun and Sui Dong have a good talk with him, otherwise that bastard will think we are easy to bully and be very arrogant."

He gets angry when he talks about this. Zhou Chen asked him to negotiate, and he deliberately offered a high price, but the other party directly asked for three times the rent. He negotiated for a long time and his lips were worn out. In the end, he only gave in a little, but it was still more than twice as much. Of course, he couldn't agree to it.

If Zhou Chen hadn't stopped him, he really wanted to ask Fu Weijun and the others to go talk to the landlord next door.

Although he is a few years older than Fu Weijun and the others, he can say that he is a civilized person. When it comes to fighting and bravery, he still has to be better than Fu Weijun and the others who have been in society since childhood.

"Try not to do things that damage the industry."

Zhou Chen disagreed with Wu Qifa's idea. He had killed people before, and was much better than Fu Weijun and his men in terms of ruthlessness and force. But he would not use force to solve problems unless he had to. After all, this was an urban world, not the ancient feudal society. Fighting was illegal, and there was no need to resort to force for such a trivial matter.

"If he doesn't agree, then go to the one on the right to discuss it."

"The one on the right only has one room, and it's a little small."

"It's OK. Even if there's only one room, the two floors will still be a hundred square meters. After it's connected, adding thirty or forty more machines will be no problem at all."

"Okay, I'll go talk to you tomorrow."

Their original plan was to rent the storefront on the left side of the Internet cafe, because the two storefronts belonged to the same landlord and were large enough. However, since the other party had asked for a huge sum and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rip them off, Zhou Chen certainly would not let him have his way.

He is not short of money, but that doesn't mean he is a sucker.

"Xiaojun, when the house is rented, you will still be in charge of the decoration. There is no need to knock down the walls. Just open two doors and you can hire two more people."

Internet cafes nowadays do not have a fee management system, and fees are collected manually, which requires labor. Moreover, with more people, Internet cafes will be safer.

Fu Weijun nodded to indicate that he had heard it.

The group ate and drank for more than an hour before leaving. It was still early, so Zhou Chen did not go back immediately. Instead, he turned on two machines with Shen Mo and started playing games.

It was only 98, and the online games that would become popular in later generations had not yet appeared. Most people were still just playing stand-alone games, but even so, many people still flocked to them.

…………

A billiard room near Huagang Steel, where a group of bad boys and scoundrels often gather. This billiard room is their base, and their "boss" is a group of scoundrels headed by Liu Feng.

"Brother Feng, I have found out that the owner of the Xingchen Internet Cafe is Zhou Chen, and the mute who stole our motorcycle is watching over the Internet cafe."

Liu Feng sat on the pool table with his arms and legs stretched out, listening to his younger brother's report, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

As the "boss" of this area, Liu Feng still has quite a few people under him. That day, Zhou Chen took Fu Weijun and others to eat at a food stall, and they happened to be seen by Liu Feng's subordinates. After returning, they told Liu Feng.

Liu Feng has never forgotten the beating he received from Zhou Chen last year, but he has never had the chance to retaliate.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about taking people to deal with Zhou Chen directly, but Zhou Chen easily dealt with several of them last time. His fighting power was very high, so he was somewhat scared.

As for Fu Weijun and Sui Dong, they also had conflicts with him. Not only did they steal his motorcycle, but they also beat them up together and almost chopped him with a knife. He was almost scared to death at the time.

He was a very narrow-minded person and had never thought of giving up revenge. He was just waiting for an opportunity, and now the opportunity had finally come.

"Xingchen Internet Cafe, that bastard Zhou Chen is really rich."

Liu Feng was very unhappy. Xingchen Internet Cafe had become very famous in the past few months. He had also heard about it. Even though the Internet fee of Xingchen Internet Cafe was very high, the business was still booming. He didn't know how many people were jealous.

Liu Feng leads a group of younger brothers. As the "boss", he is actually not rich and does not have much money. Most of his money comes from illegal sources, such as cheating, fraud and theft. Therefore, they have a bad reputation and it is common for them to be sent to jail.

"Brother Feng, Zhou Chen and that mute have a grudge against us. We must get him."

The younger brother gave Liu Feng some advice: "Besides, that Xingchen Internet Cafe makes so much money, maybe we can make some money from it."

Liu Feng glanced at the younger brother and said, "You are quite bold, kid."

"No, Brother Feng, we all listen to you."

Liu Feng's eyes were gloomy, and he made a decision in his heart: "I, Liu Feng, have been in the underworld for so many years, and no one has been able to touch me without paying the price. Go, I must kill them."

"Yes, kill them and let them know who is the boss of this area of ​​​​Huanggang."

"Brother Feng, we all listen to you."

"It's been a while since anyone dared to confront us. Brother Feng, when are we going to take action?"

The younger brothers around were all shouting with excitement. They were all very young and had too much energy to release. When they heard about a fight, they were not afraid but were eager to try.

Looking at the excited younger brothers, Liu Feng was also very proud. You, Zhou Chen, are good at fighting, but can you beat dozens of us?

After making the decision, Liu Feng took his younger brother to Xingchen Internet Cafe the next day.

At night, Zhou Chen was reading a book seriously when suddenly the phone in the living room rang.

"Hey...what? Okay, I get it. I'll be there right now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen's face was gloomy. It was Shen Mo who called him and said that someone was causing trouble in the Internet cafe and had a fight with Fu Weijun and others. The Internet cafe was now in chaos and he was asked to go over quickly.

When Zhou Chen arrived at the Internet cafe on his motorcycle, he found that it had been blocked off. Several police cars were parked at the door. Uniformed law enforcement officers were escorting a group of people out of the Internet cafe, many of whom were covered in wounds and blood.

Zhou Chen parked the car and walked towards the Internet cafe with a calm look. Before he got close, he was stopped by someone.

"Sir, you can't go in here."
