The world of film and television begins from childhood

He still had great confidence in Zhou Chen's ability to appraise treasures. If Zhou Chen said that the porcelain was real, then it was most likely correct. So he was determined to get it, and naturally did not want anyone to compete with him.

Zhou Chen politely replied: "Hello, I just think that tea set looks nice, it will be elegant if I buy it and put it away."

The old man looked at Zhou Chen, smiled, and just said, "Young man, you have good eyesight," and then turned his head away.

Zhou Chen knew that the old man also took a fancy to the porcelain tea set, but it was hard to say whether he could tell the authenticity of it. It was obvious that he was just testing him.

In the antique business, don't expect sincerity in return. Even between master and apprentice, they often hold back, let alone strangers who are strangers to you.

What are vision and experience? It is not just your own vision, but also the ability to see through others. Being able to distinguish the true from the false by observing others is also a kind of experience.

Li Ruiyang wanted to say something, but Zhou Chen shook his head at him, then took out his cell phone and gestured.

Li Ruiyang immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant, and took out his mobile phone to edit what he wanted to say.

Eight out of the twelve items are authentic, which is considered a very conscientious offer in this small auction.

However, Zhou Chen was not very interested. It was not that he was not interested in these antiques, but that he was not interested in auctions.

With so many people here, there must be someone capable of distinguishing the real from the fake. With his current wealth, he cannot compete with these people in the auction, so he has no intention of participating in the bidding.

Another point is that these items are not the kind of good things that he would want to get at all costs.

However, when Li Ruiyang learned that there were so many good things, his eyes lit up and he looked like he wanted to take them back to collect.

After everyone had their eyes on the items, the auction began under the chairmanship of Xu San.

This was Zhou Chen’s first time to attend an auction in real life. In fact, the process was not complicated, and everyone just reported numbers directly.

Zhou Chen watched the whole process. There were no scenes of pretentiousness or fights. The most serious scene was two old men exchanging a few sarcastic remarks. Everyone was basically calm and composed.

This is a professional auction, not an auction suspected of money laundering, so the possibility of finding a bargain is very low.

Some people collect antiques to make money, some collect antiques for the cultural history they contain, and some collect antiques simply because they like them...

But no matter which one it is, everyone likes to find bargains. It’s a pity that the hope of finding a bargain now is too slim.

Li Ruiyang participated in the auction for each of the authentic items that Zhou Chen mentioned, but unfortunately, he got nothing in the end.

It’s not that he didn’t have money, but when the price reached a certain level, Zhou Chen stopped him. He didn’t want Li Ruiyang to be taken advantage of.

Although Li Ruiyang felt regretful, he still followed Zhou Chen's judgment. When he left with Zhou Chen, he asked Zhou Chen to go to the antique market with him tomorrow, hoping that they could find a bargain.

Zhou Chen naturally agreed readily. He was also very interested in the antique market. He had never had the opportunity to visit it in real life before. Now he had the time, money, and skills to go shopping in the antique market. He might get lucky and find a big bargain.

Li Ruiyang said hello to his friends and left with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was just here for fun today, but he also gained some real-life experience, so it was worth the trip.

Chapter 1022 New World: Police Honor

In the next two days, Zhou Chen accompanied Li Ruiyang to visit the antique streets and shops in Jinling and helped Li Ruiyang select several items.

It can be considered a bargain, but not a big one. But even so, Li Ruiyang was very excited and looked at Zhou Chen with even greater admiration.

Although he has many items at home, most of them are fakes. Now, after shopping with Zhou Chen for a few days, he can finally find bargains. This is something he has never experienced before. The feeling is really indescribable.

Li Ruiyang and his wife left Jinling after staying there for a few days. Zhou Chen and Li Luo did not follow them, but stayed in Jinling for a few more days.

After playing in Jinling with Li Luo for another week, Zhou Chen drove back home with Li Luo.

In addition to the more than ten days that passed, Li Luo and Zhou Chen became closer, and they smiled more often when they were together.

…………

While driving on the highway, Zhou Chen found it funny when he saw Li Luo licking the bottle cap after finishing his yogurt.

He had done things like licking bottle caps before, but he only did it when he was alone. Li Luo did this in front of him without avoiding him at all, which meant that she was used to him and would not deliberately avoid him.

"After you get home, take a good rest for two days. You've been playing hard these past few days."

"Yeah, good."

Li Luo nodded obediently. After all, she did not have as good a physical fitness as Zhou Chen. She was very tired after following Zhou Chen around these days.

After a few hours' journey, they soon returned to Li Luo's home. After having dinner at Li Luo's home, Zhou Chen found a designated driver to go home.

Zhou Chen returned home, turned on the computer and started watching TV. He had been outside these days and had little time to watch TV series.

After staying at home for three days in a row, Zhou Chen felt a little bored, so he went to his studio for two days and asked Li Luo to play around for a few times.

A month passed quickly and the deadline for the time travel arrived again.

After returning home, Zhou Chen lay on the bed and communicated with the system.

Looking at the world card in the system panel and considering it for a while, he decided not to use it for the time being.

"System, start traveling!"

…………

Pingling City is located in the eastern China region. It is a second-tier city in the central and western part of Shandong Province. It has a permanent population of five to six million and is considered a large city in the country.

When Zhou Chen woke up, he found himself lying on the bed. At one glance, he knew that he had not traveled to a TV show with an ancient background. Then, looking at the things around him and the furnishings in the room, he had a rough idea.

This is modern society, and not too far from his real world, so the computer with the LCD screen is still very new.

Zhou Chen took a breath and closed his eyes, and then a memory was being accepted and integrated by him.

After traveling through time so many times, he has long been accustomed to it. The identities assigned by the system all have memories. No matter how many there are, they will be transmitted into his mind after he wakes up.

After a moment, Zhou Chen received all the memories and slowly opened his eyes.

This is another parallel world with a modern urban background. His name has not changed, but his body has changed. He has become 23 years old. He has just passed the examination for political and legal police officers and has been assigned to the Balihe Police Station not far from his home. He is about to become a glorious people's policeman.

"Police officer, this is a new experience."

In fact, he had just graduated for a year, and his major was not related to this field, but the very common civil engineering. However, he had just graduated and stayed at home to take care of his elderly grandfather, so he had no way to find a job. So, under his grandfather's persuasion, he took the examination for political and legal police officers.

Who would have thought that I would actually pass the exam.

However, his grandfather did not live to see this moment. He passed away before he took the exam, leaving him with endless sorrow and a huge fortune.

After sorting out his identity, Zhou Chen was very surprised. The conditions after this time travel were quite good. It seemed that he was spared the trouble of starting from scratch. This system made him a human again.

The place where he lives now is a rural-urban fringe area, which happens to be under the jurisdiction of Balihe Police Station, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to be assigned to a unit so close to home for this type of work.

He has received a notice and will report to Balihe Police Station tomorrow to become a glorious trainee police officer.

Although Zhou Chen doesn't like a career in politics, being a people's policeman would be a good experience.

However, the most important thing now is to figure out which film or TV world he has traveled to, because he has never heard of Pingling City where he is now, but based on the geographical location, it is very similar to the Lu Province in the real world.

"System, open the panel."

But he soon showed a look of astonishment, because there was no task displayed in the task column of the system panel.

"No mission, or inactive?"

Zhou Chen frowned slightly. He had encountered both of these situations, but the previously unactivated tasks would always be displayed as unactivated. Could it be that there was no main quest in this world?

He was unsure in his heart, so he couldn't tell which film or TV world he had traveled to based on the system tasks.

He tested the system and found that the system's plot cards could be used directly, but he resisted the urge to use them.

Based on his experience of time travel, the system would definitely not place him too far away from the characters in the plot. Now that he had not come into contact with other people, it was difficult for him to tell whether it was from a film or TV series he had watched.

If so, using a plot card would be a waste. Plot cards are good things. Although he still has a few, he cannot use them casually. He may not get them again in the future, so good steel should be used wisely.

I picked up the phone next to me and checked the time. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

I went to bed at around eight o'clock. It seems that I attach great importance to reporting in tomorrow.

After getting dressed, I walked out of the room. It was an ordinary three-bedroom, two-living room apartment. The decoration had been around for some time, but it was well maintained. The area of ​​the apartment was not small, and the living room was very large.

This is not the urban area, but the urban-rural fringe. There are high-rise buildings, but the resources are definitely not as tight as in the urban area. For a 130-square-meter house, you can have a public area of ​​more than 40 square meters, which means one-third of the area is gone.

The living room and dining room are connected, and the middle is connected to the downstairs, with a staircase for going up and down.

These are two houses, one on the first floor and the other on the second floor. I later converted them into duplexes. The layout of the upper and lower floors is the same, making them spacious and comfortable to live in.

Zhou Chen lived on the second floor. He walked down the stairs. The decoration and layout downstairs were not much different from those upstairs. Before, his grandfather lived downstairs and he lived upstairs.

There is a small courtyard at the entrance of the first floor. The management here is not as strict as in the urban area. His grandfather fought hard for this small courtyard. In order to collect property fees, the property management company had to compromise as long as it does not affect the traffic on the road.

There is a field, a set of tables and chairs, and a large parasol in the small yard.

His grandfather used the field to grow vegetables, but after his grandfather passed away, the land became empty and the tables and chairs were used for leisure time to enjoy the cool air.

This kind of living atmosphere makes Zhou Chen feel very comfortable. It is much more comfortable than living in a high-rise building.

He walked to the chair and sat down. As soon as he sat down, a woman walked by the door.

"Xiao Zhou, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, Sister Liu. You're off work so late. You've worked too hard."

"I have to work hard. If I don't make money, I won't even be able to pay your rent."

"Sister Liu, you're joking. Your monthly salary is enough to pay my rent for half a year."

Sister Liu paused and quacked, "Then I won't eat or drink, I won't buy cosmetics, I won't buy skin care products, I won't do my hair, I won't...ah?"

After saying a lot in one breath, the smile on Zhou Chen's face became stiff. "Sister, I'm just saying a few words casually. Why do you have so many complaints?"

He gave two dry laughs and quickly sent the other person away, and his ears were finally quiet.

After sitting for a while, Zhou Chen got up, locked the door to the yard, and prepared to go out for a walk.

Zhou Chen found that the community where he lived was quite good. Most of the buildings were six-story multi-storey buildings, and there were only two high-rise buildings, which were more than 20 stories high.

The only bad thing about it is that this six-story building is full of stairs and there is no elevator, but fortunately Zhou Chen lives on the first or second floor, so it has no effect on him at all.

This is embarrassing, it was supposed to be a long chapter, but there was a problem with the copying, so I only uploaded half of it…

Chapter 1023 Balihe, New Arrival

At this time, the barbecue stalls at the entrance of the community are very busy. Many people are sitting outside, drinking and chatting with their bare chests, and some of them bring their children with them. It is very lively.

Also, it’s already nine o’clock, and there are still grandpas and grandmas dancing in the square. Don’t they need to go home to take care of their grandchildren?

After walking around, Zhou Chen felt that the place was full of local flavor and the atmosphere was good, but it was a bit noisy, which was not very friendly to people who liked quietness.

It was almost ten o'clock when Zhou Chen went back. Even at this time, the barbecue restaurant was still doing a booming business, with people coming and going, toasting each other and making a lot of noise.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Zhou Chen got up early and changed into clean clothes. Now that the weather was getting hotter, he naturally dressed to keep cool.

"Boss, one basket of soup dumplings and two fried dough sticks."

Arriving at the breakfast shop, Zhou Chen shouted and then took the bowl to get the porridge.

"Okay, you go ahead and I'll be right there."

After a while, the boss brought over the soup dumplings and fried dough sticks.

Zhou Chen drank porridge and ate buns leisurely, and the taste was okay.

If you open a breakfast shop like this at the entrance of a residential area, as long as the taste is not bad, the business will not be bad. After all, the pace of life is fast nowadays, and many working people don’t have time to make breakfast, so they will go to the breakfast shop to have a bite. It is not expensive and saves time.

The breakfast was not very quiet because there were quite a lot of people in the breakfast shop, especially a mother with a child. She had a very loud voice and kept urging her son to eat quickly. Her voice almost blew the roof off.

Someone said a few words out of unhappiness, but was responded to with a few more words in return, and was so angry that he almost started swearing at each other on the spot.

This kind of thing is all too common.

Zhou Chen has a car, but on his first day at work, he did not drive. Instead, he walked to the gate of the community, scanned a shared bike, and went straight to the Balihe Police Station.

It was the morning rush hour, and riding an electric bike was much faster than driving.

There are a lot of cars and pedestrians on the road. It can be seen that although it is a rural-urban fringe area, there is still a lot of traffic in this area.

Zhou Chen rode his bike around for a while and finally arrived at the unit where he was about to report for work, Balihe Police Station.

After parking the car, Zhou Chen walked to the gate of Balihe Police Station, looked at the big words on both sides, smiled slightly, and strode in.

Not sure if it was because the people from the police station were busy or for some other reason, but after Zhou Chen walked in, he found many people in police uniforms busy in the yard.

The yard was dusty and several people holding large brooms were sweeping the ground diligently.
