The world of film and television starts from a young age

"Zhou Chen?"

Xu Banxia couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed her face with her hands and opened her eyes again. It was Zhou Chen.

"How is this possible?"

She was sure that she was not seeing things, but she was still in disbelief and murmured in shock.

Zhou Chen slowly got up, walked to the bed, sat down beside her bed, and looked at her with a smile.

"Why not?"

Xu Banxia suddenly reached out and touched Zhou Chen's face, and touched it several times. The real touch with warmth made her have to admit that this was indeed true.

She shouted excitedly: "Zhou Chen, it's really you, it's really you, how could it be possible, how could it be? How could you be here?"

"It's true, absolutely true."

Zhou Chen pulled her hands away from his face.

"I heard that you didn't do well this time, so I came to see how you were doing. Who would have thought that I just found you and saw you fainted at the door before I had time to say hello."

Hearing Zhou Chen say this, Xu Banxia remembered what happened before she fainted.

This trip to the north to get scrap steel was indeed very unsuccessful. The son of Wu Jianshe's old friend and comrade was actually a gang of swindlers. They said they would provide them with 50,000 tons of scrap steel, but this was a scam. They deliberately lured them to the north and then used tricks to cheat them of their deposit.

Not only did they not get any scrap steel, but they were cheated of a large sum of money, which made them lose face. Wu Jianshe and the other four chose to accept their fate and return home.

But Xu Banxia was unwilling to accept it, because she had paid everything for this trip to the north. If she couldn't get any scrap steel, she would go bankrupt after returning. Not only would she go bankrupt, she would have to pay a lot of interest on the money she borrowed. So much money could really crush her.

So she didn't want to go back in such a mess, and stayed alone in Tsarist Russia, just to see if there were any other ways.

But these days, she ran around and went to several steel mills, but she couldn't speak the language, and they didn't like her. Not to mention talking about business, they didn't even let her in the gate.

These days, she was really getting more and more desperate, and the pressure in her heart was getting greater and greater. She couldn't find the liar or the scrap steel, which made her eat and sleep poorly.

Today was another fruitless and tormenting day, so on the way back, she was always in a trance. After arriving at the hotel, she couldn't bear it anymore, and then she lost consciousness and didn't know what happened.

After hearing Zhou Chen say this, she understood what happened.

"Did I faint?"

"Yes, I have learned about your situation clearly from the embassy. You are under too much pressure, didn't eat well, didn't sleep well, and fainted due to hypoglycemia. I have given you medicine and massaged you. How do you feel now?"

"My head is still a little dizzy."

Xu Banxia was in a coma and had no memory at all.

"Did you get me into the room?"

"Yes, I saw you fainted when I came here, just tell me if it's a coincidence."

Zhou Chen poured her a glass of water: "Drink some water first, I'll ask someone to bring food later."

Xu Banxia took the cup of water, took a sip, and then put it on the bedside table. Looking at Zhou Chen sitting on the bed, she didn't know what she felt, but her eyes suddenly turned red, and all the grievances of these days came to her mind.

Zhou Chen looked at her in silence, with red eyes, and knew that she had really had a hard time during this period.

"Are you still thinking about scrap steel?"

Xu Banxia didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of Zhou Chen, but she just couldn't muster the energy.

"Well, now that you know the whole story, do you think we are all stupid and fooled like a bunch of fools?"

"Let's talk about the facts. In this matter, you are indeed not clear-headed and blinded by interests. I don't believe that you didn't feel any problems during the process? But you were still deceived."

Xu Banxia remained silent. When she came into contact, she did find something wrong, but Wu Jianshe patted his chest to guarantee that there was no problem. Out of trust in Big Brother and the interests, she didn't say anything and signed the contract with Wu Jianshe.

"Did you feel that this matter was not reliable a long time ago, so you came here on purpose?"

"I'm not a god, how could I know it at the beginning? I just worried that you would be upset, so I came to see your situation. Sure enough, I saw you fainted when I just came. If I hadn't come, I really don't know how you would torment yourself."

Xu Banxia suddenly felt indescribable. Zhou Chen just worried about her and ran all the way here to find her.

"You..."

Tears fell unconsciously. After such a big blow, she was already at her most vulnerable moment. At this time, Zhou Chen suddenly appeared in front of her, comforted her, and helped her. This kind of touching really cannot be expressed in words. She, who has always been strong, couldn't help crying.

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand, gently wiped her tears, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm here, I will help you."

It often takes only a moment to move a woman. For Xu Banxia, ​​Zhou Chen at this moment seemed like a light in her life. Zhou Chen didn't do anything, but he seemed to have done everything.

Women are emotional and impulsive. Just like Xu Banxia at this moment, she suddenly stretched out her hand to put Zhou Chen's neck, pulled Zhou Chen in front of her, and kissed Zhou Chen.

Xu Banxia was too fast. Even Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and began to respond to Xu Banxia.

After a while, the two slowly separated. Xu Banxia was not shy at all, but looked straight at Zhou Chen, his eyes full of affection.

"Your body still needs to recover, and this time is not suitable for strenuous exercise."

"Pfft."

Even the bold and direct Xu Banxia was stunned by Zhou Chen's words, but then he couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

However, this sentence also resolved the sudden intimacy between the two.

Xu Banxia grabbed Zhou Chen's clothes and pulled him to fall on the bed.

"I'm a little cold, please lie down with me for a while."

Of course Zhou Chen would not refuse. He immediately took off his coat and got into Xu Banxia's bed. Xu Banxia approached Zhou Chen, squirmed a few times, then found a comfortable position and lay in Zhou Chen's arms.

"I'm divorced."

"I know."

A smile appeared on Xu Banxia's face, and then she pressed her face against Zhou Chen's chest. There was no need to say the following words. She enjoyed this moment.

The two of them hugged each other like this. I don’t know how much time passed. The tired Xu Banxia fell asleep again, and Zhou Chen came all the way from Binhai to Tsarist Russia. It was also a long journey and didn’t have much rest. At this time, he relaxed and slowly entered. In his sleep.

The room became quiet, with only the sound of the two sleeping breathing. After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chen's eyes moved and he slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a face that was both angry and happy, and Xu Banxia said softly: "Wake up."

Zhou Chen moved his hand and caressed Xu Banxia's cheek affectionately.

"Well, what time is it now and how long have I been asleep?"

"You must be very tired, you have been sleeping for more than ten hours."

Zhou Chen said: "In this era, it's really not easy to go abroad, especially to the north. It's so tiring along the way."

"Yeah, it's really not easy."

Xu Banxia also felt sincerely. They set out from Binhai and took a train for several days to reach Tsarist Russia. They experienced a lot of suffering along the way. After arriving, they slept for a long time before they recovered.

Zhou Chen stretched his body and sat up, and also hugged Xu Banxia and sat up.

"Let's go out and get something to eat."

"good."

Xu Banxia agreed with a smile.

She had not slept well these days, she was tense and under great pressure. But just now when she was by Zhou Chen's side, she slept particularly peacefully. When she woke up, most of her fatigue was gone, and she felt much more relaxed. .

Although the scrap steel incident was very bad, she didn't want to appear too decadent in front of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen traveled thousands of miles to come to her, and she wanted to show the good side to Zhou Chen.

Xu Banxia took Zhou Chen to a Chinese restaurant not far from the hotel. Because China and Tsarist Russia are close to each other, there are many Chinese here and there are also Chinese restaurants.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year. Why don't you come all the way to delay your business?"

"It's really not a waste of time. As you know, I have nothing to do now, and I'm alone now. Even if it's the Chinese New Year, there's no need to go home."

Zhou Chen's only relatives in this world are his eldest brother Zhou Huan's family, but they are a family, and he has never thought of spending time at Zhou Huan's house during the Chinese New Year.

"It's you, what are you going to do next? I see that the few people who came with you have gone back. You don't want to go back. Obviously you are not willing to give in and want to give it another try, right?"

Xu Banxia said in a low voice: "If I just go back like this, all the preparations I made in the early stage will be finished, I will borrow so much money, owe so much interest, and can't bring back the scrap steel, I will really be completely bankrupt, so I want to try again and wait for news from the police and the embassy here to see if the scammers can be found.”

This time she came here to buy scrap steel, it was actually a huge gamble. If she lost the bet, she would lose everything, so she couldn't afford to lose. Even though she knew that there was no possibility of a comeback, she still wanted to fight to the death.

In fact, many businessmen have a similar mentality to Xu Banxia in their early stages. It is a big gamble. If you win, you can continue. If you lose, you will have nothing. Under this kind of big gamble, most people lose, but those who can win. , very few.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything else, just replied.

"Okay, then I will accompany you and try again."

Xu Banxia was moved. After hearing about her situation, Zhou Chen not only ran so far to find her, but was also willing to stay with her. In this strange country, there was a man who cared about her so much. She felt warm and at ease in her heart.

"I want to try to go to the surrounding steel plants tomorrow, but we have to find someone who understands Russian to communicate on our behalf."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and pointed at himself: "Me."

"Ah, what are you?" Xu Banxia didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant.

The next moment, Zhou Chen opened her mouth and spoke a string of language she didn't understand. Although she didn't understand it, it felt familiar, very similar to the Russian she had heard these days.

Her eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Do you know Russian?"

Zhou Chen smiled, nodded and said, "I can speak Russian."

"Very good."

Xu Banxia cheered happily. She was still thinking about how to find a translator. It turned out that the translator was right in front of her, and she was such a close translator.

"So now you can eat with peace of mind."

"Um."

Xu Banxia nodded happily. She hadn't laughed so happily for so many days. Zhou Chen was like a man sent by God to save her. She was so happy.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Chen took Xu Banxia to walk around. She had been worried these days and was busy with the scrap steel business. She had no time to think about other things. Today, she put her worries aside temporarily and enjoyed the northern scenery with Zhou Chen.

It was cold in Russia, and now it was the coldest winter. Pedestrians on the road wrapped themselves very tightly, and there was ice and snow on both sides of the road.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was not wearing a hat, Xu Banxia walked to a roadside stall, picked and chose, and picked a brown dog-head earmuffs, put it on Zhou Chen's head, and smiled.

"Wear it to keep warm, ask how much it costs."

Zhou Chen exchanged a few words with the boss, and then Xu Banxia happily paid the money and continued to walk with Zhou Chen.

After a circle, Zhou Chen not only put on a hat, but also a scarf and gloves.

Affected by the disintegration, the development of Tsarist Russia in recent years has been very bad. It has been overtaken by China, and because it is still very chaotic here, the development here will not be as good as China for a long time.

This period in the 1990s was the most prosperous period for smuggling between the two countries, because the profits in the middle were really scary.

Just like Xu Banxia in the play can do business with the military, it is also because both sides need it.

After dark, Zhou Chen and Xu Banxia returned to the hotel leisurely.

"Do you need to open a new room for you?"

"No, I think the bed in your room is very comfortable. We sleep together. If you feel uncomfortable at night, I can take care of you."

Xu Banxia glared at Zhou Chen coquettishly, but did not refuse, and just took Zhou Chen back to the room.

Back to the room, just after taking off the hat, scarf and gloves, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding and leaned against each other involuntarily.

Zhou Chen didn't want to be Liu Xiahui, and Xu Banxia didn't hold back. The man had feelings, the woman had intentions, and they were alone, so naturally, the fire was ignited at the first touch.

Unconsciously, the two of them were getting closer and closer. Xu Banxia looked up at Zhou Chen, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Zhou Chen hugged her and suddenly lifted her body up with force. She directly hugged Zhou Chen's neck and waist, and her body was close to Zhou Chen, with her head leaning against his.

Xu Banxia's weight was nothing to Zhou Chen, so he naturally responded enthusiastically and walked inside with Xu Banxia in his arms.
