The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 1382 Plot deviation, another year

Facing Ma Kui's roar, Ma Yan, Wang Xin and Peng Yongli all lowered their heads and dared not refute.

One of them is Ma Kui's biological daughter, one is his goddaughter, and the other is his apprentice. If Ma Kui is really angry, they really dare not resist.

Only Zhou Chen maintained a nonchalant attitude. To be honest, he was still Ma Kui's leader.

"Uncle Ma, don't get angry. Anger is bad for your health. You can sit down and talk about anything slowly. Besides, Ma Yan is already in her twenties. It's normal for her to have her own ideas."

Ma Kui yelled, "So what if she's in her twenties? Even if she's in her thirties, she's still my daughter and has to listen to me."

Ma Yan's eyes were red, and she raised her head in dissatisfaction: "Why, Dad, why can't I make the decision on my own job? You are just too stubborn. Now it's different from before. There are self-employed people doing business everywhere, and the country has also begun to promote it. You are the only one who still holds on to the old ideas."

"What's wrong with my old-fashioned thinking? I've lived for so long and experienced so many upheavals. I understand people and things better than you do. There are many businessmen who make money, but there are even more who lose everything. You only see the good, not the bad."

Ma Kui was not as excited as before, but he was still very unhappy.

"Having a peaceful and stable job is the best choice. Even if you can't make a fortune, isn't it good to have a stable life for your family?"

"It's good to have a stable life, but can it be the same now as before? I want to make money for a better life, right? Maybe you think I'm greedy, but that's because I know what it's like to live without money. Do you know how mom and I got through the ten years you were away?"

"You don't know, we..."

Thinking of those ten years of difficult life, Ma Yan couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears. If it weren't for those ten years, how could her mother have gotten cancer?
When the past was mentioned again, Ma Kui's momentum suddenly weakened a little. Those ten years were the most painful time in his life, not only for him, but also for his family.

Ma Kui sat dejectedly on the sofa. Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly signaled to Wang Xin to persuade Ma Yan to stop talking, and then he sat next to Ma Kui.

"Uncle Ma..."

"Don't say it."

Ma Kui did not give Zhou Chen a chance to speak. He raised his hand to stop him and stood up.

"Yan'er, I know I was sorry for you in the past, but I am doing this for your own good. Doing business is not as easy as you think. You should give up now and go back to work. Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter."

After saying that, he slammed the door angrily and left home.

"Second dad."

Peng Yongli went out to chase him, but Ma Kui quickly left the compound.

Ma Yan and Wang Xin both had sad faces. They both knew that this time Ma Kui was really angry, which was different from before.

"What should we do?" Wang Xin asked worriedly.

Ma Yan was very determined: "No matter what, I will not give up anyway. I am really tired of selling pickles and don't want to do it anymore. I must continue to do business and make money."

Wang Xin looked helpless. This father and daughter pair were truly his nemesis. He couldn't handle either of them. He could only look at Zhou Chen for help.

"Zhou Chen, give me some advice."

"Ask me if you can't figure it out?"

Wang Xin smiled brightly, and Ma Yan pulled Peng Yongli.

"Lili, please help me to speak up for him. Zhou Chen will definitely have a way."

Zhou Chen laughed. Ma Yan was quite smart and knew that if Peng Yongli asked for mercy, he would definitely agree.

But he wasn't going to refuse, he just wanted to tease them.

"Uncle Ma is a man who only responds to soft tactics and not to hard tactics. Ma Yan, you can't be soft, and it's useless for Wang Xin to be soft. So if you want to break the deadlock, you have to ask for external help."

"foreign aid?"

Wang Xin looked surprised: "With Uncle Ma's temper, who else can convince him except Auntie?"

Ma Yan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, if my mother were still alive, it might be possible, but now, alas."

Zhou Chen didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly: "You can find Uncle Peng."

"My dad?" Now it was Peng Yongli's turn to be stunned.

"Yes, my future father-in-law is doing well in the fur business. He and Uncle Ma are old friends. He has been doing business for more than half a year and is doing well. It would be much better to invite him to talk to Uncle Ma than forcing him to do anything."

Zhou Chen's words made Ma Yan's eyes light up, and she clapped her hands: "That's right, my dad has such a good relationship with Uncle Peng. Uncle Peng even quit his job as a prison warden and went into business. Doesn't this prove the problem even more? If he comes forward, he will definitely be able to convince my dad."

Wang Xin opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Ma Yan and Peng Yongli didn't know what was going on with Peng Mingjie, but how could he not know? Peng Mingjie didn't give up his job as prison warden voluntarily.

But of course he couldn't say this, and he also felt that letting Peng Mingjie persuade Ma Kui might not be a bad choice.

"You can try it."

Seeing that Ma Yan and Wang Xin had no objections, Peng Yongli asked tentatively: "Then should I call my dad and ask?"

Ma Yan and Wang Xin both nodded.

Peng Yongli immediately contacted her father. Peng Mingjie was now busy with his business, but he agreed immediately when his daughter called him. Within two days, he rushed to Ningyang.

When his old brother came, Ma Kui of course greeted him very warmly. The two of them had a drink together at noon and at night. After the drinks, they did not leave but stayed at Ma's house.

Peng Mingjie's persuasion did work, but something unexpected happened.

Ma Kui could agree to let Ma Yan do business, but he wanted Ma Yan to do the fur business with Peng Mingjie. He would first let Ma Yan go to Harbin to learn from Peng Mingjie for a period of time, and then come back to sell furs.

This shocked Ma Yan.

"No, Dad, I just want to start small and try selling small items like buttons. You asked me to buy fur right away, but I don't have that much money."

Ma Kui didn't care about her so much, and asked: "I didn't ask you to sit down now, I asked you to study first, and then you said whether you would do it or not. If you don't want to do it, then go back to work, on your own."

Did Ma Yan have any choice? No choice.

"What about my buttons? How about I wait until I sell all the buttons?"

In the end, Ma Yan did not realize her wish. The button stayed behind temporarily, and she followed Peng Mingjie to Harbin to learn business experience.

This is interesting. Ma Kui's daughter went to study at Peng's house, and Peng Yongli lived in Ma Kui's house. It was like the two families exchanged daughters. Fortunately, Ma Yan would not stay there for long.

This result also surprised Zhou Chen. He just came up with an idea and wanted Peng Mingjie to persuade Ma Kui, but he never expected that it would actually change the development of the plot.

But no matter how things change, at least the problem with Ma Kui has been solved, and he will no longer oppose Ma Yan's business in the future, so Ma Yan and Wang Xin are still quite happy.

As soon as Ma Yan left, Wang Xin calmed down and put all his energy into work, and Ma Kui did the same.

As for Ma Jian, she takes care of him when Peng Yongli is at home, and Dr. Shen helps take care of him when she is not at home.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is winter of 85.

Zhou Chen has been in the criminal police team for a year. Captain Jiang is very satisfied with the performance of this squadron leader of the fourth squadron. Zhou Chen also gets along well with the criminal police from other squadrons.

In fact, under normal circumstances, there is no conflict of interest and the relationship between colleagues is quite good. Especially Zhou Chen is a potential stock that Captain Jiang values ​​very much. If it is not necessary, no one is willing to conflict with Zhou Chen.

"Captain Zhou, this is the report on our last case."

Tao Jianguo handed his report to Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen accepted it, he said a little embarrassedly: "Captain Zhou, I want to ask you for leave in a few days."

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"My brother-in-law is getting married."

"Oh, I see. No problem. I'll approve it. But I still say that you must be on call 24 hours a day. If anything happens, you can return to the team at any time."

"Yes, Captain Zhou."

After Tao Jianguo left, Zhou Chen put down his pen and rubbed his temples.

The workload of the Criminal Police Team is much greater than that of the Passenger Police Team. As the squadron leader, he not only has to go out on field duty, but also has to organize various data reports. This means that he is very efficient at work, otherwise one or two people cannot do it well.

This is also one of the reasons why the members of the Fourth Squadron admire Zhou Chen. With Zhou Chen around, their workload is much less. Under Zhou Chen's arrangement, they each perform their duties and their work efficiency is higher than that of other squadrons. The key is that they get a lot of bonuses.

Following such a capable squadron leader, everyone is naturally very satisfied.

While they were busy, Ma Kui and Wang Xin came back.

It is the end of the year and the criminal police team has the task of following vehicle inspections. Zhou Chen sent the two of them to follow the inspections, and it has been more than half a month.

"I'm home."

"came back."

During this trip to Harbin, Ma Kui and Wang Xin also made a special visit to Ma Yan, and told Ma Yan that they would be back before the Spring Festival.

Zhou Chen raised his head, glanced around, and said in surprise: "Hey, what happened to you two? Are you both injured?"

Wang Xin laughed and said, "We encountered a few people making trouble and fighting in the car, and we went to stop them. Who would have thought that this guy was so powerful that he injured both of our hands."

"Is everything okay?"

"It's okay, just a little scrape, nothing serious."

Wang Xin didn't care at all. It was common for criminal police to get injured while investigating cases. He had even been injured when he was a flight attendant. This minor injury was nothing serious.

Zhou Chen nodded. In fact, when he saw that the two of them had injured hands, he couldn't help but think of the TV drama in which the thief lied to them that they were infected with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and they were quarantined for this reason.

However, the thief king and his gang had already been arrested, so naturally this plot did not happen.

"This time you go back and rest for two days."

"Okay, then we'll go back first. We're really tired lately."

As soon as Wang Xin finished speaking, Ma Kui snorted coldly: "Are you tired of this? If all criminal police act like you, how can we maintain social order?"

Wang Xin cried out in grievance: "No, Master, I just said something in casual conversation, do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

"Humph."

Ma Kui ignored him and just said to Zhou Chen: "It doesn't take two days, one day of rest is enough. The team has been so busy recently, we can't be idle."

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "As expected of you, Uncle Ma. Others are scrambling to get a rest, but you don't even want to take a rest. It's up to you."

Ma Kui is so dedicated that Zhou Chen has long been accustomed to it. He would not be used to it if Ma Kui became lazy one day.

In fact, with Ma Kui's qualifications, if he had not been in prison for ten years, he could at least be the captain of the criminal police brigade.

But now, he doesn't have such big ambitions. In his words, he is satisfied as long as he can continue to shine in the criminal police team, even if he is just a small criminal policeman.

Time quickly passed 85 and arrived in the new year, 1986.

Following last year, Zhou Chen will not celebrate the Spring Festival alone this year.

Last year, because of Peng Mingjie's incident, Peng Yongli spent the New Year at the Ma family, so Zhou Chen also had the New Year's Eve dinner at the Ma family.

Although there was one less person in the Ma family during this year's Spring Festival, one new member joined, that is Peng Yongli's father Peng Mingjie.

He came to Ningyang with Ma Yan, planning to spend the Spring Festival together at Ma's house, so he called Zhou Chen over as well.

So today, the Ma family was quite lively. Ma Kui, Peng Mingjie, and Zhou Chen, the three of them, clinked glasses and drank until they couldn't listen.

Ma Kui even toasted to Peng Mingjie to express his gratitude.

"Mingjie, thank you for taking care of Ma Yan. If it weren't for you, who knows how wild this girl would have become."

"Old Ma, you are being too polite. My daughter calls you second dad, and your daughter is also my daughter. Besides, Yan'er is really smart and learns things very quickly. My old friend said that she is born to do business."

Ma Kui didn't believe it. "Come on, Mingjie, you don't need to praise her so much. Is she a good businessman? You know I asked her to take the college entrance examination twice, and her math scores didn't add up to more than 30 points. She can't even understand math. How can she do business well?"

"dad."

Ma Yan was very dissatisfied with her father's sabotage: "Examinations are examinations, and business is business. Just because I failed the examination doesn't mean I can't do business."

"Yan'er is right, Old Ma, you just don't understand your daughter. Yan'er is very capable. I think she can definitely make it big in business. You have to support her."

In fact, Peng Mingjie has been in business for only a few months longer than Ma Yan. Ma Yan followed him in the first few months, and he watched Ma Yan grow up. He has more say than Ma Kui, the father.

"Okay, I support her. If I don't support her, will I agree to let her go to Harbin to study with you?"

Ma Kui also let it go. Since his daughter had made up her mind to take this step, what else could he do? He could only compromise.

"Let's not talk about her, Mingjie, let's talk about Li Li and Zhou Chen. I've been wanting to attend their wedding for a long time. What do you think as a father?"

Peng Mingjie laughed and said, "Of course I have no objection. I feel relieved to leave Lili to Zhou Chen. They have also discussed with me that the wedding will be held next month, so you can drink some of the wedding wine."

"Haha, that's good, that's good, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
