The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Since the Internet cafe business is good, are you interested in opening a branch?"

"Branch?"

Shen Mo and his companions all looked surprised, they had never really thought about this. In fact, they were just ordinary people and did not have any big ambitions. The booming business of the Internet cafe had already made them very satisfied and they did not have any more ambitions.

"Yes, that is, branches. In the next few years or even decades, Internet cafes will become important entertainment venues in China. As long as they are well managed, they will definitely make money. If we open a chain store now, there is a great chance that it will become bigger and stronger."

Zhou Chen naturally knew very well the future development prospects of Internet cafes.

Shen Mo didn't say anything because she didn't work in an Internet cafe, so opening a branch or not had little to do with her.

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong didn't react much either. Sui Dong even said, "As long as I follow Brother Jun, everything else is fine."

Fu Weijun said that it is pretty good here now, he likes it very much and doesn't want to go anywhere else.

Only Wu Qifa's eyes lit up. He was currently a technician in an Internet cafe. Although his salary was not low, if Zhou Chen opened a branch, he would have the opportunity to participate in the management.

If given a choice between being a technician or a manager, he certainly knows which one has a better future.

Zhou Chen saw that Wu Qifa was interested, so he asked, "Old Wu, if you are interested, I can let you open a branch store and assign a few people to you. How about that?"

Wu Qifa took a breath and said, "Boss, I want to do it."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Just do it if you want to. Don't think too much. Come to me in the billiard room near Huagang in a few days and I will make the arrangements."

"Yes, boss." Wu Qifa replied excitedly.

Zhou Chen made such arrangements naturally for Liu Feng and his people. Since Liu Feng decided to follow him, he happened to be short of some available people. Letting them be in charge of the new Internet cafe was a good choice for the time being.

After dinner, Zhou Chen stayed in the Internet cafe for a while and then left with Shen Mo.

The two walked on the dim road, Shen Mo holding Zhou Chen's arm. Ever since Zhou Chen beat Shen Dongliang that time, their relationship has made rapid progress.

It just so happened that Zhou Chen had just graduated from Hua Medical University, so he didn't have to worry about anything, so they naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend. Although their relationship had not yet developed to the end, it was progressing rapidly.

"Is there a lot of work in school recently?"

"Well, my sophomore year is obviously a bit busier than my freshman year, but I can handle it."

"I believe that studying medicine is a very good choice for girls. If you want to be a doctor in the future, study hard. If you don't want to be a doctor, that's okay. You are my girlfriend and I support you in whatever you want to do."

Shen Mo stopped, raised his head, looked at Zhou Chen carefully, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Zhou Chen lightly on the corner of his mouth.

"I want to be a doctor. My dream before was to cure Xiaojun's illness, and it hasn't changed now."

"Okay, I believe you can do it."

Zhou Chen kissed Shen Mo in return. Shen Mo might have some issues with his personality, but who in this world has a perfect personality?

Shen Mo is the type of person who will be sincere to you if you are sincere to her, so Zhou Chen treats her well without asking for anything in return. Shen Mo can feel it, and so she becomes particularly dependent on him.

Zhou Chen accompanied Shen Mo to the school gate and then waved goodbye to Shen Mo.

The next morning, when Zhou Chen got up for morning exercises, he overheard conversations between many Huagang employees and their families in the dormitory area and learned something very important.

Huagang is planning to lay off a number of employees because its efficiency is declining year by year and it can no longer afford to support so many employees. Therefore, the leadership team of Huagang has decided to lay off a number of employees, and the number will not be small.

After this incident was reported, it caused a huge sensation in the factory. Even in the dormitory area and family quarters, people were talking about it.

After all, it is hard to find a job these days, let alone a 'iron rice bowl' like Huagang, especially for ordinary employees. Even though the salary is low now, and many times the salary cannot be paid on time, and some workshops have stopped working, no one still wants to leave Huagang.

Especially those old employees who have worked in Huagang for a long time. Many of them have worked in Huagang all their lives. If they are suddenly laid off at this time, it will definitely be a huge blow.

So even though everyone knows that this matter is irreversible, everyone is praying that they will not be the ones to be laid off.

Zhou Chen could understand these people's panic and worries. Even twenty years later, a good job was crucial to a family, not to mention that in this era, many families depended on one person's work to survive. If they suddenly lost the job they relied on for survival, it was hard to imagine how big of a disaster it would be.

But he also knew that Huagang was already in a terminal state and there was basically no possibility of saving it.

If you want to save Huagang, you have to invest a huge amount of money. But the question is, with so much money, who would save this half-dead factory? Wouldn't it be better to start a new business?

What's more, Zhou Chen knew clearly that the management of Huagang was rotten to the core. The factory director took the lead in corruption. How could you expect the people below to be any better?

He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Wang Xiang would also be on the list of layoffs this time.

In the plot, he was removed from the list because he caught the factory director and his lover, making the factory director feel that he had evidence against him. However, because of Gong Biao and Huang Liru, he was later hated by the factory director Song Yukun and was laid off.

In fact, from Zhou Chen's point of view, if Wang Xiang was laid off, it might not be a bad choice. After all, Huagang would only get worse and worse, and it would not be long before it would go bankrupt completely. Instead of waiting until that time, it would be better to get out early and find a new job to survive.

In the evening, Zhou Chen was stopped by a man as soon as he came out of the dormitory.

"Comrade, I want to ask you something."

Zhou Chen looked at the young man with 3:7 haircut in front of him, nodded, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Wang Xiang, Master Wang lives here, right?"

"Yes, you are looking for Uncle Wang, who is it?"

When the man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm Gong Biao from Hua Steel Plant. I'm here to talk to Master Wang about something. Which floor does he live on?"

Zhou Chen was surprised to hear that the man actually introduced himself as Gong Biao. The last of the three elders in the long season finally showed up.

If you had to choose the most miserable person in this drama, I'm afraid most people would choose Gong Biaobiaozi, because he is really, very miserable.

Gong Biao may have many shortcomings, but he is definitely a kind person, a truly good person. Even after experiencing such tragic things, he did not become bad, but just became more oily.

"I live on the second floor, in this unit, the one on the east side."

"Thank you, comrade."

Gong Biao got what he wanted to know and immediately smiled. He thanked Zhou Chen and then rushed into the building.

Zhou Chen looked at his leaving back thoughtfully. He thought that there would be no interaction between Gong Biao and Wang Xiang if there was no corpse dismemberment case, but now that Gong Biao came to Wang Xiang, it was obvious that the two had already met. The reason for this situation is probably inseparable from Luo Meisu's cousin, the nurse Huang Liru.

In the TV series, Huang Liru got together with Song Yukun, the director of Huagang Steel, but the plot did not make it clear when they got together.

It is possible that Song Yukun and Huang Liru met when Wang Xiang was hospitalized in the plot, or it is possible that they knew each other before.

Shaking his head, Zhou Chen didn't think much about it. He got on his motorcycle and headed straight for Victoria.

Xu Zhiyun had just returned from Hong Kong and asked him to go to Victoria to celebrate together, because this time in Hong Kong, she made a lot of money relying on Zhou Chen's remote command. Now that the dust has settled, she can't wait to fly back to celebrate with Zhou Chen.

As soon as Zhou Chen walked to Victoria's door, the little man in charge of welcoming guests at the door shouted very respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, welcome, please come in."

As a person who makes a living by his eyes, Manager Ge has to be careful in entertaining Zhou Chen, a big client who is a doorman. Of course, he dare not be careless.

Zhou Chen nodded at him, then walked into Victoria.

This time Xu Zhiyun did not meet in the hall, but in a private room.

"Zhou Chen, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for half an hour."

When Xu Zhiyun saw Zhou Chen coming in, she walked over happily, hugged Zhou Chen, and then gave him a sweet kiss.

"We haven't seen each other for more than two months. Tell me, do you miss me?"

Zhou Chen also responded with enthusiasm. He picked up Xu Zhiyun by the waist, carried her to the sofa like a princess, and kissed her passionately.

It was released after a minute.

"Do you feel it?"

"I feel it. I thought you were no longer interested in an old and ugly woman like me now that you had your little girlfriend?" Xu Zhiyun said coquettishly.

"Old and ugly?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be angry: "Which blind bastard said that our sister Yun is old and ugly? Tell me, I will break his three legs."

Xu Zhiyun rolled her eyes and tapped Zhou Chen's forehead: "You are the only one who knows how to make jokes. How come I fell into your hands? I can't do anything to you."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

The two of them were affectionate for a long time, and then started to talk about business.

Xu Zhiyun told Zhou Chen everything that happened to her in Hong Kong this time, and then asked Zhou Chen what to do in the future.

In fact, she has her own ideas about her future development, but she can do so smoothly now, all thanks to Zhou Chen's guidance, so to be on the safe side, she still wants to listen to Zhou Chen's advice and avoid detours.

Zhou Chen did not hide anything. Whenever Xu Zhiyun asked questions, he answered and gave advice truthfully.

Xu Zhiyun's success has only brought him benefits and no harm. He is still very confident in his abilities. This woman has been conquered by him in every way, and the possibility of her betrayal is very small.

After finishing her business, Xu Zhiyun pulled Zhou Chen to sing and dance. The biggest reason why she liked to come to Victoria was because she liked singing and dancing.

She once told Zhou Chen that her childhood dream was to become a singer, but she had to give up this path because her voice was not good enough.

But even though she is over 30, has been married and divorced, she still likes to sing, but usually just for her own entertainment. Now her goal is to make money and build her own financial empire.

Zhou Chen is a musician himself, so he is no stranger to singing and dancing. He and Xu Zhiyun had a lot of fun.

While they were having fun, Lao Ge knocked on the door cautiously and came in. He flattered the two of them and toasted them with a few glasses of wine before leaving the private room.

"Come with me to the bathroom."

"Okay."

Zhou Chen accompanied Xu Zhiyun to the bathroom. As a man, he was naturally very fast, and then stood at the bathroom door waiting.

"I know, Nong..."

A very strange accent attracted Zhou Chen's attention. He turned around and saw a short man wearing a vest and mousse talking on the phone not far from him. Although the man spoke Mandarin with a strange accent, it was very different from that of the locals and was somewhat similar to the accent of the southern region.

"From Guangdong Province or Hong Kong?"

He had shopped at Victoria International Plaza many times, but he had never met anyone with a Cantonese accent, so he couldn't help but look at the other person.

The man ended the call quickly and walked towards the bathroom. Coincidentally, Xu Zhiyun also came out at this time. She naturally took Zhou Chen's arm and prepared to go back to the private room.

"Miss Xu?"

Suddenly, the person that Zhou Chen had just noticed came in front of Zhou Chen and the others, looking at Xu Zhiyun with surprise.

Zhou Chen frowned and said nothing, while Xu Zhiyun looked at the man in surprise.

"Ms. Xu, you don't recognize me. My last name is Lu, Lu Wenzhong. I'm from Hong Kong. Are we on the same flight today?"

When the man saw that Xu Zhiyun didn't recognize him, he hurriedly introduced himself.

After being reminded, Xu Zhiyun finally realized: "Oh, it's you, Mr. Lu. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now."

Lawrence Lu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. After all, we only met once. However, being able to meet Miss Xu again here shows that we are still destined to meet."

Xu Zhiyun smiled and said, "It's a bit of fate."

She came back by plane today, and Lu Wenzhong happened to be on the same flight as her. He even talked to her on the plane, but she just responded with a few words. She didn't expect to meet this person in Victoria.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 953: Eliminate Lu Wenzhong

"Ms. Xu, is this your husband?"

Lu Wenzhong fixed his gaze on Zhou Chen, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.

He met Xu Zhiyun on the plane and was immediately attracted by her appearance and temperament. He took the initiative to talk to her, but Xu Zhiyun just responded with a few lukewarm words and then made the excuse that she wanted to rest.

Although he felt very sorry at the time, he did not dwell on it too much. However, he did not expect to meet Xu Zhiyun in Victoria. This meant that Xu Zhiyun came to Hualin for business just like him, or lived in Hualin.

This immediately made him think, but seeing that Xu Zhiyun and Zhou Chen were so familiar with each other, he decided to find out their relationship first.

Don't hit a smiling person. Although Xu Zhiyun didn't like this Hong Kong man with a fake smile, she didn't show any impatience.

"Yes, this is my husband, surnamed Zhou."

Lu Wenzhong was a little surprised, but he still greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chen responded rather coldly: "Hello."

"It's fate that we meet. Which room is Miss Xu in? I'll go and toast Miss Xu and this gentleman later so we can get to know each other."

Lu Wenzhong is a veteran in the business world and is very thick-skinned. He didn't care about Zhou Chen's indifference. Even when he saw the impatience on Zhou Chen's face and Xu Zhiyun's evasion, he still finished his words with a thick face and then walked into the bathroom with a smile.

Back in the private room, before Zhou Chen asked, Xu Zhiyun took the lead in explaining: "I don't know that person, I just met him on the plane and chatted for a while. He is from Xiangjiang, and he seems to be in business."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Do you think I would misunderstand you? With him like that, I don't feel any pressure at all, okay."

Xu Zhiyun rolled her eyes coquettishly: "This person is not very good, but I am also very popular in Hong Kong. I wonder how many celebrities want to meet me."

"Can you compare with me?" Zhou Chen asked.

Xu Zhiyun smiled and said, "Of course not."

As she spoke, she gently stroked Zhou Chen's cheek: "I will never meet another man like you in my life, so after I have you, I can no longer look down on other men. You are my enemy."

Zhou Chen grabbed her hand and said softly, "I am very generous in some things, but very stingy in some things, like you."
