The world of film and television starts from a young age

Zhou Chen's undergraduate graduation also means that Zhuang Xiaoting, Xiang Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe will have to take the college entrance examination.

Although Xiang Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe are a little older than Zhuang Xiaoting, they are in the same grade, both in their third year of high school this year, and will take the college entrance examination together.

Among the three, Xiang Pengfei was undoubtedly the most relaxed one, because before the exam even started, he already knew what his result would be. It was 100% certain that he would not be admitted to university, so for him, the college entrance examination was just a process.

In fact, according to his thinking, he didn't want to continue to high school. He should have gone to a technical secondary school and then started working earlier. However, his mother Zhuang Hualin didn't want to do that. She only wanted him to go to university, so he had to bite the bullet and study for three years.

But it was obvious that he did not pay attention during his three years of high school and did not study seriously. Even with the director of studies Zhuang Chaoying watching him all day, it was of no use.

Because Zhuang Tunan was going to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, he did not go home during the summer vacation. Instead, he stayed in school and studied hard for the examination.

Zhou Chen did not have this pressure. As soon as he had a holiday, he rode a motorcycle and took Wu Shanshan back to Suzhou from Shanghai.

Seeing Zhou Chen bringing Wu Shanshan back on a motorcycle, Huang Ling asked Zhou Chen nervously.

"Tusi, you rode a motorcycle all the way back from Shanghai with Shanshan?"

"yes."

Huang Ling pulled Zhou Chen aside and asked quietly, "Tuxi, tell me honestly, are you and Shanshan dating?"

They were all neighbors, and Wu Shanshan had always found various reasons to get close to Zhou Chen since she was a child. She was still young before, so she knew it, but she didn't take it seriously.

But now they are both not young anymore and have reached the age to talk about marriage. Moreover, Wu Shanshan is still in the same university as Zhou Chen. In fact, Wu Shanshan is a few months older than Zhou Chen. It is normal for her to have such concerns.

Zhou Chen and Wu Shanshan had already discussed the matter of dating and would not tell their families, so he immediately denied it.

"No, Mom, we are just in the same school, so it's more convenient for us to come back together."

Huang Ling looked suspicious: "Really? Don't hide it from me. Shanshan is a really good child, but her stepmother. I am worried that you and Shanshan really have something going on, and in the future..."

"Mom, I understand your worries. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Zhou Chen didn't want Huang Ling to worry about this matter. He also knew that Huang Ling didn't actually want to stop him from dating Wu Shanshan. She just simply felt that it would be difficult to get along with Zhang A-mei in the future if they were relatives.

When Wu Shanshan returned home, she was also asked about this matter. Like Zhou Chen, she denied it out of the blue. Wu Jianguo and Zhang A'mei felt it was a pity.

In fact, the couple really hopes that Wu Shanshan can be with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was a well-known person in the alley of the cotton mill. He was outstanding in all aspects. Countless people had their eyes on him. Some even mentioned him in front of Huang Ling, but Huang Ling always declined.

A graduate of a prestigious university and a great writer, there is no need to talk about the future. Just now, in the entire Textile Lane, Zhou Chen is the most promising one.

Although Li Yiming also made a lot of money, in everyone's eyes, he was far inferior to Zhou Chen.

A telephone, a motorcycle, a washing machine for the house, and some miscellaneous items. Adding these things together, his net worth is already over 10,000 yuan. I wonder how many people are jealous.

Wu Jianguo and Zhang A'mei are eager for Wu Shanshan to be with Zhou Chen. Although Wu Shanshan is now a student at a prestigious university, in the eyes of their older generation, no matter how well a woman studies, it is not as good as marrying well. Marrying Zhou Chen is undoubtedly the best outcome in their eyes.

They felt disappointed, but Zhang Min, who already had a boyfriend, was a little skeptical about what Wu Shanshan said.

"It's been two years. You really haven't been dating Zhuang Tuxi? This is not like your character."

Zhang Min and Wu Shanshan have lived in the same house for many years. She knows very well how much Wu Shanshan likes Zhou Chen. Now they are in the same university and there is no adult supervision around them. She doesn't believe that Wu Shanshan would be so honest.

Wu Shanshan played with the wood carving in her hands, with no change in her eyes.

"It's because I care that I don't dare to say anything now. We are still classmates, friends and neighbors. If I say it and it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to even be friends in the future. This is not the result I want."

This reason actually makes a lot of sense, but Zhang Min doesn't believe it at all.

"Don't pretend with me. I've worked in the barber shop for two years and have met a lot of people. Look at the clothes in your bag. They are all popular styles. We may not be able to buy them here. Maybe they can only be bought in Shanghai. The subsidies you received for college are barely enough for food and living. How can you have extra money to buy those things? What's more, you sent a lot of money to Xiaojun."

Of course, Wu Shanshan couldn't tell the truth. Even if it was just a sophistry, she had to deny it.

"That's the money I earned from tutoring outside. How did you know I sent money to Xiaojun?"

"Although you didn't send it home but sent it to Lin Dongzhe, you couldn't hide it from my eyes. I saw Lin Dongzhe giving money and letters to Xiaojun. There was no one else except you."

Zhang Min's words left Wu Shanshan silent. This defensive behavior was somewhat embarrassing when Zhang Min said it.

Zhang Min, on the other hand, looked nonchalant and didn't take the matter to heart at all. Compared to this, she was more curious about whether Wu Shanshan was with Zhou Chen.

But Wu Shanshan was very tight-lipped and insisted that there was no such thing, so she had no way of being sure.

"I really don't know what you have to hide. Tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

But Wu Shanshan couldn't tell her the truth, not for herself but for Zhou Chen.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Zhuang Xiaoting couldn't sleep the whole night and was very nervous. Her grades were not as good as Zhou Chen and Zhuang Tunan, but she was very ambitious and wanted to be admitted to Fudan University where Zhou Chen went. So the closer she got to the college entrance examination, the more nervous she became. In terms of psychological quality, she was a little inferior in comparison.

Zhou Chen knew she was very nervous, so he comforted her gently: "Xiaoting, don't be nervous. As long as you perform normally, I believe you will do well in the exam."

Zhuang Tunan, Huang Ling, and Zhuang Chaoying also took turns to comfort Zhuang Xiaoting. As parents and brothers, they all hoped that Zhuang Xiaoting could do well in the exam.

Zhuang Xiaoting is a sensitive and emotional person. She was moved by everyone's comfort and gradually suppressed the tension and fear in her heart.

On the day of the exam, Zhou Chen and Zhuang Tunan sent Zhuang Xiaoting and the other two to the examination room to take the exam.

The three days of college entrance examination passed in a flash.

After the college entrance examination, Zhuang Xiaoting relaxed completely. Perhaps it was because she took it too seriously, she actually had a low fever after relaxing.

Soon after the exam, she had to start filling out college entrance examination applications. Of course, Zhuang Xiaoting wanted to apply to Fudan University as her first choice, but after the exam, she knew that with her grades, she would most likely not be able to get into Tongji University. Even if she could apply, she would still be worried and did not dare to apply blindly.

Finally, after discussing with her family, she applied to Shanghai Jiaotong University, which is also a key university, just to be on the safe side. Lin Dongzhe also applied to Jiaotong University.

Although Zhou Chen helped Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe a lot with their studies, perhaps due to their own abilities, the final result was exactly the same as in the plot, and they still chose the same Shanghai Jiaotong University.

But this result is not bad. The school is very good, it is also in Shanghai, and it is not far from Zhou Chen and Zhuang Tunan.

Ten days later, Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe went to the school to check the list. Both of them were admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University. As for Xiang Pengfei, he failed as expected.

Although both the Zhuang and Lin families were happy for their children, they did not show it too much, as they were still somewhat concerned about Xiang Pengfei's face.

But Xiang Pengfei himself didn't care. He knew the result better than Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe. He knew this would be the result before taking the exam. So after the exam, he felt a little disappointed, but more relaxed.

For him, studying is a torment. If it weren't for his mother's insistence, he wouldn't even want to go to high school. Now that the results have proved that he is not cut out for studying, I'm sure his mother won't say anything anymore.

As for Xiang Pengfei, Zhou Chen actually tried hard to change him at the beginning, and took him with him to teach every time he went home.

But what can be said, people are different, and everyone has their own specialties. Xiang Pengfei's learning was always half the effort and twice the results. What's more, he didn't want to learn and didn't want to delve into it. Zhou Chen couldn't keep an eye on him all the time, so after trying a few times, he gave up.

Going to college is indeed the best way out for ordinary people, but not going to college does not mean that there is no way out. Xiang Pengfei is a person with potential. In the plot, he can make a fortune with his own intelligence. Now that he helps out, he will definitely not be worse off than in the plot.

Everyone has his own destiny. Zhou Chen has seen a lot, so naturally he won’t worry too much about such things.

When Lin Dongzhe was admitted to university, Song Ying was more ostentatious than anyone else. She directly took possession of the banners of Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting and hung them at the entrance of the alley that day. As for herself, she went from street to street, spreading the news everywhere. In a short time, the entire cotton mill knew that Lin Dongzhe was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University.

This summer, Song Ying was undoubtedly the most proud, and her excitement was even greater than when Lin Wufeng became the deputy director of the compressor factory.

Because Xiang Pengfei failed the exam, Zhuang Hualin called him back to your province. Zhuang Hualin also called Zhuang Chaoying to discuss whether Xiang Pengfei could repeat the year.

In fact, Zhuang Chaoying also had this idea. With Xiang Pengfei's grades, there was no chance for him to get into university, but if he repeated a year and worked hard, he might still be able to get into a junior college.

Xiang Pengfei didn't want to repeat his studies, but he was still sent back to Suzhou.

"Uncle, aunt, I don't want to repeat my studies. I know myself best. Even if I repeat another year, I won't be able to pass the exam."

Xiang Pengfei has a full understanding of himself, and repeating a year is a waste of time.

"I don't want to study anymore. I want to work and earn money as soon as possible. I want to work hard to make money so that my parents can live a good life in the future."

Zhuang Chaoying was furious when she heard what he said: "Your parents worked so hard to earn money, hoping that you could study hard and stay in Suzhou in the future. Now you don't want to study anymore and want to go to work. How old are you? What kind of job can you do? Now workers are being laid off everywhere. What kind of job can you find as a child?"

The layoff situation is very serious now. Even the old workers can't find a job, let alone a teenager who just graduated from high school. There may be a job, but it is definitely not decent and he won't make much money. Let alone thinking about getting a job in a factory.

Huang Ling also persuaded Xiang Pengfei with gentle words. On this point, she had similar ideas to Zhuang Chaoying. Over the years, she had regarded Xiang Pengfei as her own nephew and cared about him very much. The times now were different from their past. It was indeed difficult for Xiang Pengfei, who was just eighteen years old, to find a good job.

"But I really don't want to repeat the year, and I can't continue. I won't learn well even if I study for another year. It's just a waste of time and money."

"Brother Tusi, you are very knowledgeable. I want to ask, besides studying, is there really no other way out?"

Seeing that no one agreed with his idea, Xiang Pengfei became very depressed, so he asked Zhou Chen, the person who had always been the most powerful in his mind.

Zhou Chen looked at him and said slowly, "There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession has its top scholar. Studying is indeed one of the best ways out, but it is not the only way out. However, this is your own business after all. You can discuss it with your aunt and uncle. I can't make the decision for you. However, if you finally decide not to repeat your studies, I can give you some suggestions."

Xiang Pengfei was delighted when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "I will discuss it with my parents, Brother Tuxi, you must help me."

Zhuang Chaoying looked at Zhou Chen with a gloomy expression. They had been trying to persuade him, but after what Zhou Chen said, their persuasion was completely useless.

"Pengfei, you should discuss this with your parents. You are still young, and studying is the best way out for you."

But Xiang Pengfei could no longer listen to what he said. He now wanted to quickly convince his parents not to let him repeat the grade, and then ask Zhou Chen for advice on his future.

He felt that Zhou Chen was so capable, graduated from a prestigious university, and was very smart, and he would definitely be able to give him some good advice.

No one knew what method Xiang Pengfei used, but a few days later, Zhuang Hualin called and told Zhuang Chaoying that there was no need to force Xiang Pengfei to repeat the year, and if Xiang Pengfei wanted to work and earn money, it was up to him.

Xiang Pengfei immediately approached Zhou Chen and wanted to ask him what to do.

He wanted to work and earn money, but he was only an eighteen-year-old boy after all. He had never experienced these things. He only had ideas in his mind, but when it came to really starting to take action, he had no idea what to do.

Zhou Chen asked directly: "Actually, my suggestions are just suggestions. It depends on what you like to do. Tell me now, what do you want to do most?"

"Make money. I want to make money now. Make a lot of money, and then bring my parents to Suzhou."

Zhou Chen hit him directly: "Who doesn't want to make money? Who doesn't want to make a lot of money? What I'm asking is, what do you want to do and what do you like to do."

Xiang Pengfei scratched his head and thought for a while before saying, "I don't know what I want to do, so I asked you, brother."

Zhou Chen looked helpless and could only ask directly: "I saw you skipping class and going out with the car before. Do you like driving?"

“I like it. I like it.”

Xiang Pengfei nodded repeatedly and said, "I like driving very much, and I like driving to many places. Before, I went out with Uncle Qian and others, and it was really much more fun than going to class."

"I see."

You can tell from his excited expression.

"Since you like driving, you can try to develop in this direction. You can learn first and get your driver's license. After you have been proficient for a year or two and can drive a car by yourself, I can consider investing in shares, buying you a car, and opening a small company, letting you drive and pick up passengers."

When Xiang Pengfei heard this, he was overjoyed, but then he asked nervously, "But can I do it?"

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Okay? Take a year or two to learn it slowly."

Xiang Pengfei nodded vigorously: "I will definitely study hard."

He didn't doubt Zhou Chen's words at all. If Zhou Chen said he would buy him a sports car and be his driver, he would really believe it.
