The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen had a calm expression: "Director, to be honest, I don't really agree with what you said, but it is undeniable that what you said is not wrong. But it is because of this that you have so many concerns. It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. In the world of adults, right and wrong may not be the first priority, but all of this must be chosen by the Li family themselves."

"But what I want to say is that if I were to encounter such a thing, I would definitely fight to the end and make Zhao Hong receive the punishment she deserves."

"You, you, you really make me look at you in a new light."

Wang Shouyi pointed at Zhou Chen and sighed repeatedly.

Zhou Chen understood what he meant, but he also explained his attitude. He always thought that Zhou Chen was mature, steady, smart and sensible. Now it seems that Zhou Chen is not only eloquent, but also hates evil and has a strong mentality.

He didn't know how to evaluate Zhou Chen, but now he was sure that Zhou Chen's personality was probably not something he could change, and he was more difficult to lead than the other four newcomers.

Zhou Chen and Li Dawei saw Li He's family in the mediation room, as well as Guan Jinghao's family who arrived later.

Guan Jinghao and Li He are on the same path. Although Guan Jinghao is fine, her parents still rush over and confront Zhao Hong together with the Li family.

"Officer Zhou, Officer Li."

When Li He's parents saw Zhou Chen and Li Dawei, they were very polite and stepped forward to shake hands.

Both children said that when they were in danger, it was Li Dawei and Zhou Chen who helped them, so their parents were very grateful.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, Mr. Guan, Mrs. Guan."

Everyone sat down in harmony. Wang Shouyi and instructor Ye Wei also sat down and took the opportunity to talk about the mediation between the two parties.

In fact, they had said a lot, but the two families were determined to make Zhao Hong pay the price and did not take their persuasion seriously at all.

Wang Shouyi kept winking at Zhou Chen and Li Dawei, asking them to speak, but Li Dawei pretended not to see anything and turned a deaf ear to nothing, and refused to speak, which made Wang Shouyi so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Guan."

Seeing Zhou Chen speak, Wang Shouyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Chen did not persuade the Li and Guan families to mediate as Wang Shouyi had expected. Instead, he explained the relationship between reconciliation and non-reconciliation clearly and let the two families make their own choice.

When Zhou Chen was narrating, the parents of the two girls listened very carefully, frowning from time to time, as if they were reluctant.

On the same day, both families went back, and Zhao Hong was taken back by her husband. However, if the two families were unwilling to reconcile, Zhao Hong would still have to bear legal responsibility and would still have to be imprisoned and fined and compensated.

Zhou Chen drove to work today. He was alone when he came in the morning, and there were four of them when he left in the evening.

Yang Shu wanted to see a house, and Li Dawei followed him, and even Zhao Jiwei was dragged along.

"Oh, now I finally understand how difficult it is to be a grassroots police officer. Sometimes I really can't even tell right from wrong. What is right may not be right, and what is wrong may not be wrong. What kind of thing is this?"

Li Dawei, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to Zhou Chen, couldn't help but complain loudly. What happened today made him feel very unhappy.

Yang Shu also had some insights today. After hearing Li Dawei's complaints, he advised: "Sometimes it's like this. Right or wrong is just a matter of stance. I now understand that what you learn from studying is knowledge. If you want to use the knowledge well, you still have to go to the grassroots and understand the basic conditions of the people, so that you can do better."

Zhao Jiwei said cautiously: "Why do I feel like you guys are not in the right state today?"

"There's nothing wrong. I just feel that many things are not as good as you think. You will get used to it slowly."

Zhou Chen knew that today's events had a big impact on Li Dawei, but he was not worried about Li Dawei. This boy was very optimistic. He was just feeling emotional for a moment and he would recover in no time.

Li Dawei rolled his eyes and said, "You sound very experienced. How far is your home? It must have taken more than ten minutes to drive there."

"We'll be there at the next traffic light. Normally it'll take 20 minutes. If there's a traffic jam it'll be a little slower, which is already pretty good."

"That's right. Although the house my mother rented for me is not far from the police station, it still takes about ten minutes to drive there. My home is even farther away, so it will take about an hour."

Since Li Dawei had a car, he didn't think a 20-minute journey was a big deal.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen drove his car directly to the gate of his own courtyard. In their old-style community, there was no separation of people and vehicles. Basically, all parking spaces were occupied. However, Zhou Chen was a man who owned a building after all, so he had some privileges in the community and did not have to worry about parking.

Since getting off the car, Li Dawei and the other two stood side by side, looking at the six-story building in front of them in the same posture.

"Zhou Chen, is this entire building really yours?"

"What else? Let's go in and take a look."

Zhou Chen greeted the two tenants who were passing by, and then took Li Dawei and them into the small courtyard.

"This small yard is good. It's quite large."

"Of course, it's about 70 square meters. I'm not bragging. In this community, the several small courtyards in my building are the largest and best located. Even though they are small courtyards, they are not blocked and have plenty of sunlight."

The multi-story building has a total height of six floors, and the distance between the buildings is acceptable, so even on the first floor, there is no need to worry about sunlight problems.

Li Dawei praised: "Such a large yard must be comfortable to live in. The elderly like this the most."

"Come inside and take a look."

There is also a balcony on the first floor, which can have floor-to-ceiling windows, but Zhou Chen and his family did not build them. Instead, they left a small section of wall underneath, which is about ten centimeters higher than the ground in the yard. According to my deceased grandfather, this is to prevent flooding when it rains.

The door is the glass door of the balcony, and you can go in by just raising your foot slightly.

"Although this house is ten years old, it's still well preserved, especially the two units we live in. The old man takes good care of them. There's not much furniture on the first floor anymore, as it was moved back to his hometown a long time ago. The master bedroom on the first floor used to be where the old man lived, but he hasn't lived here since he got sick. Everything he has is new. The old man is very particular and is afraid of causing trouble for me. I can't persuade him to stop."

"This house is over 130 square meters. Because there is no elevator and it was built relatively early, the usable area is still very large, nearly 120 square meters. I'll show you around."

Zhou Chen took Li Dawei and the other two to walk around the first floor, looking from the living room to the rooms.

"Let's go to the second floor and take a look."

I'll correct the mistakes tomorrow. My headache hurts so much today.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1033: Playing it safe and hating evil

Going up to the second floor, I found that the decoration of the first and second floors were actually the same, but there were fewer furniture and objects on the first floor, so it looked very empty.

But the second floor is different. It has all the furniture and has been rearranged by Zhou Chen, so it looks more pleasing to the eye, warmer and more popular.

"I've always lived on the second floor, but if you want, you can live on the second floor, but I'll be living in the master bedroom, so you can only live in the two secondary bedrooms."

"I've seen it all. What do you think, Yang Shu? Think about it."

Yang Shu had a conflicted expression, but after seeing it, he was quite satisfied. At least it was much better than living in a hotel. Moreover, the environment here at Zhou Chen's place was really good, with a yard and the room was big enough.

"I'm quite satisfied."

The living environment is good. When he first came, he calculated that it would take nearly twenty minutes to drive there, but half of that time was spent waiting for traffic lights. If he rode an electric scooter, more than ten minutes would be enough. This distance was acceptable to him.

"Zhao Jiwei, what do you think?"

Zhao Jiwei nodded and said, "Good, very good, very good."

This house is bigger than the one in his hometown. He has always dreamed of owning a house like this in the city, so how could he think it is not good?

Li Dawei even said: "I think it's great, Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, if you guys live here, I'll come over too."

"So you don't want the house you rented anymore?" Yang Shu asked.

"Just ask my mom to return the rent. This little thing is nothing to my mom."

Li Dawei believed in his mother's ability and said with a smile: "I think it would be very interesting for us to live together. It would be like living in a dormitory. It would be lively with more people."

This was what he thought. It would be too lonely to live alone, so he wanted Yang Shu to live with him before. But now he is more inclined to live with Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, how do you calculate the rent?"

Zhou Chen said truthfully: "The location of our place is only average, and the rent is not expensive, usually more than 2,000 a month. It's even cheaper if you share the rent. If you want to live here, each person will pay 800, and the master bedroom on the first floor will cost 500."

"Eight hundred?"

Li Dawei's eyes widened: "Zhou Chen, you are not deliberately trying to take care of us, are you? The house my mother rented for me is also a three-bedroom house, and it costs 5,000 yuan a month."

Zhou Chen said, "I really didn't take care of you. This is the price. After all, we are in the urban-rural fringe, not the city. The master bedroom on the first floor is cheaper because my grandfather used to live there. I'm afraid you wouldn't mind, so the price is a bit lower. Please consider it."

"Five hundred?"

Zhao Jiwei couldn't believe it. Although he came from the countryside, he knew that he couldn't rent such a good house for 500 yuan, even if he shared the house with someone.

He had been living in the police station dormitory before. It was not that he didn't want to rent a house, but he was reluctant to spend the money. However, if the rent was only 500 yuan and he could live in a house like this, he would definitely be willing to do so.

But he felt that Zhou Chen's doing this was somewhat caring for them. As for the fact that the master bedroom Zhou Chen mentioned was once lived in by his grandfather, he didn't mind at all.

This is nothing. How many people in rural houses have never had a death? Besides, Zhou Chen's grandfather didn't die here.

Before he made a decision, the poplar tree over there had already made its decision.

"I want to rent it, but eight hundred dollars is a bit low. I can't take advantage of it that much."

He seldom had contact with society, but he was not stupid. The price Zhou Chen offered was almost half a gift, so how could he not see that?

Zhou Chen smiled: "I have only heard of people lowering the rent, but I have never heard of tenants asking for a rent increase. You think too much. I didn't take care of you on purpose. If you don't believe me, you can ask my other tenants. They all get the same price."

"I rent it. I rent it."

Li Dawei, who was just following to watch the fun, suddenly started shouting loudly.

"I'm going to give up the house my mom rented for me. We can live together. It will be so lively. Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, what are you still thinking about? Hurry up and rent it. Let's live together."

After he said this, Yang Shu and Zhao Jiwei, who were already tempted, also agreed. Yang Shu and Li Dawei both chose to live in the second bedroom on the first floor, and Zhao Jiwei chose the master bedroom on the first floor.

Zhao Jiwei's face was full of smiles. He was happy from the bottom of his heart that he had a place to live, and such a good place at that. He was also very grateful to Zhou Chen.

"It's already this late, how about you just stay here tonight, I'll give you some bedding and blankets to stay overnight, and you can clean up tomorrow?"

"That's fine with me." "So can I."

The three of them had no objection, mainly because they were tired after the past few days and didn't want to run around anymore. Besides, the conditions here at Zhou Chen's place were quite good. Although the facilities were not complete, there was definitely no problem with accommodation.

The three of them hit it off immediately and decided to stay at Zhou Chen's place. Zhao Jiwei was the first to start cleaning, followed by Yang Shu and Li Dawei.

The night passed quickly.

When Zhou Chen met Li He's father again, they had already made a decision and chose to accept mediation and reconcile with Zhao Hong.

Li He's father said to Zhou Chen with red eyes: "As a father and as a man, my daughter was bullied, but I chose to reconcile with the other party. I feel cowardly. In fact, I want to fight with her, but I can't do that. It doesn't matter what happens to me, but I can't let my wife and daughter get hurt. I really can't."

Looking at Mr. Li with red eyes and clenched fists, Zhou Chen could feel his anger and unwillingness, but after a night of thinking, he still chose to reconcile. This was not his choice alone, but must be the decision of the whole family, so he was so angry and unwilling.

"Mr. Li, I understand you. I really do. You are a very good father and your choice is not wrong. In this society, the most important thing is for the family to be together and live in harmony and peace."

If it were him, he would definitely not make this choice, but he can really understand Mr. Li's family. This is the helplessness of ordinary people.

"Is that right? Officer Zhou, thank you."

After receiving Zhou Chen's approval, Mr. Li's mood obviously recovered a little.

Zhou Chen said: "Mr. Li, reconciliation also requires mediation, and you should try your best to get the compensation you deserve. I shouldn't say this, but your daughter is really a kind-hearted child. You can't let this incident cast a shadow on her."

"I know. Thank you, Officer Zhou."

…………

"Zhou Chen, I think the director's approach may be the solution to the problem, but for some reason, I always feel it's not right. I feel very aggrieved."

When Li Dawei learned that the Li family had chosen to reconcile, he found Zhou Chen and told him about his distress.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "For the director, being able to calm things down and stop the dispute is a good thing, but whether it is really a good thing or not is a matter of opinion."

"From what you said, you don't agree with the mediation result just like me?"

"I'm not the person involved, so it doesn't matter whether I admit it or not. But if you're unhappy, you do have a choice. The law enforcement camera clearly recorded that Zhao Hong attacked the police. As long as you come forward, it won't be a problem to lock her up for ten days or half a month."

Li Dawei actually showed an interested look, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. If the director knew I did this, he would definitely scold me to death."

"You know that too, so you have to get used to it slowly."

"What does it mean to get used to it slowly?"

"You'll know later."

Zhou Chen shook his head and left, leaving Li Dawei confused and unable to understand what Zhou Chen meant.

However, Zhou Chen knew that Balihe Police Station was led by the director Wang Shouyi, and there would be many things that need to be smoothed over. Although this approach is also a way to deal with things, it is more likely to encourage unhealthy tendencies.

If everyone really wants to handle things like in TV dramas, where is the dignity of the police station and public security agencies? If everyone loses their reverence, the problem will be serious.

Director's office.

After dealing with Zhao Hong's affairs, Wang Shouyi leaned back in his chair, feeling relieved.

"It's finally resolved. Alas, this matter made me sleep poorly last night."

Instructor Ye Wei said with a smile: "Captain, our police station cannot do without you. We feel at ease when you are here."

"Don't flatter me. I'm just a hard worker. This time it's not my achievement, but your beloved apprentice. If it weren't for him, the Li couple wouldn't have agreed to reconcile so easily. This guy has some kind of charisma. It's also interesting that they just met and they believe him instead of us."

Thinking of the attitude of the Li couple towards himself and others, and comparing it with their attitude towards Zhou Chen, he felt very emotional.

Ye Wei said: "Director, you even used your personal charm, but why do I feel like you are speaking sarcastically?"
