Age of Legends

Chapter 24 Father and Son, Start-up Group

Zhang Chen didn't expect this to happen.

Yes, Wang Bowen discovered Chen Xuran. Chen Xuran had a crush on him when they were working together. Later, Wang Bowen's wife ran away. Chen Xuran thought he had a chance and took the initiative to be with Wang Bowen, but Wang Bowen pushed her away.

Wang Shuowei was taken care of by Chen Xuran at the time, so naturally he had different feelings towards her. After she was murdered, Wang Shuowei had kept this past between her and his father hidden, and had never told Zhang Chen about it, let alone Wang Bowen himself.

Wang Bowen kept his distance from Chen Xuran, and Chen Xuran's career was booming, becoming a well-known host in Rongcheng. Naturally, Wang Bowen had no more contact with her afterwards.

Zhang Chen nodded.

Although he was not sure of the exact time when Chen Xuran was murdered, he knew it was not in January. He remembered that it was the eve of the high school cultural festival. Zhang Chen remembered it very clearly. As a result of this incident, the cultural festival originally held at the art museum was cancelled, and Wang Shuowei did not come to class for several days after that.

The cultural festival takes place in the second half of the second year of high school, and the specific time should be in the summer.

Zhang Chen remembered that people used to wear only a short-sleeved shirt. He checked when the Yude Cultural Festival was held every year and found that it was held around the same time this year.

So specifically speaking, this vicious incident will not happen for a few months.

From an ordinary person's perspective, Zhang Chen certainly doesn't want such an incident from his previous life to happen again. After all, it's right in front of him and happened to someone close to him.

Maybe the butterfly effect of his existence will eventually make this matter disappear. He couldn't even remember the murderer's name, otherwise he could have reported it in advance.

But maybe he can help. It’s still a long time before the actual case happens, so there’s no need to worry too much.

But he is just an ordinary person, so for this kind of thing he has to get himself to a safe place before considering other things.

I don’t want to think too much about it now. Let’s solve the money problem first.

From the previous chat, we can also know that Zhang Chen is basically Wang Bowen's chat partner. Wang Bowen usually has no one to talk to, and he doesn't like to nag Wang Shuowei, so he can chat with Zhang Chen, his godson. The relationship between them is actually much more casual.

Moreover, Zhang Chen knew very well that Wang Bowen was actually very receptive to his opinions, and he had a childish temperament in his bones. He didn't care about your age, as long as you were right, he would respect you.

This is simply my dream dad, completely different from my own parents.

Of course, this could also be due to his independence. For example, the relationship between Wang Bowen and his son is also very tense. On the contrary, Wang Bowen can treat his godson like a friend.

Zhang Chen repeated to Wang Bowen what he had said to his parents.

The final conclusion is simple.

I’m Zhang Chen.

ask for money.

……

"Where can I get so much money to lend you? I don't have any. I may have had it before, but now the producer system has been established and the TV station has contracted out all the programs. I also did a project before, a food program, but I invested a lot of money but didn't get much sponsorship. Now I have to pay various fees, and I need money!"

"These days, good hosts have been forced to become businessmen. If you want to stand out, you have to take on projects and be responsible for your own profits and losses. Television stations are now streamlining costs and improving efficiency, and the leaders above only talk with money! It's meaningless!"

Wang Bowen added, "But what your parents are thinking is indeed feasible. That store is really well planned, and it will definitely be a success if we get it!... I want to help your family, I'll think of a way..."

Wang Shuowei was listening nearby. It was the first time he heard that his father was running out of money. He remembered that he had asked for the latest game console before, and Wang Bowen said he would buy it for him after he finished his final exams, and never mentioned his recent difficulties. Suddenly, he felt a little guilty.

Zhang Chen suddenly asked, "Godfather, can you get a contract for a program during the summer vacation at your TV station?"

"Summer is the golden time. It's impossible to do it for a long time, but it's possible for a certain period of time. Just pay the money. Nowadays, there is no connection that money can't get through. Everyone is looking at money." Wang Bowen said. Zhang Chen said, "If I say that I will cooperate with you on a project, and then make money, it will be a win-win for us. I can earn the share my family needs, and you can also make some money to solve the urgent problem, how about it?"

"Hey - you might want to show me your support. You still have a project? What project is it? If it's possible, I can do it with my godson!"

This is Wang Bowen. On the surface, he is your elder, but deep down, he is a big Wang Shuowei.

"I don't need any prime time, as long as I can get one."

Zhang Chen then laid out his general idea on the table.

After a while.

Wang Shuowei's eyes widened. "How the hell did you come up with this idea? You're awesome!"

Zhang Chen stared at this fan and thought, "As expected, you are not a spoiler. You support everything!"

"Eh!" Wang Bowen took a breath and looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, "Your idea is great!"

"Then it's decided, godfather, we will split into two groups."

Wang Bowen nodded. "I will use this time to find someone to settle the matter at the TV station and complete the formalities... and you guys——"

After a pause, Wang Bowen said to Wang Shuowei, "It's none of your business. You should study hard and do well on the final exam first!"

Then he said to Zhang Chen, "You too, although I think the plan can work and it's a good thing, you are still high school students after all, and the final exam is coming soon, so don't be too distracted by this matter."

Wang Shuowei said, "Old Wang, what are you thinking about... Do you think we can still cause any trouble? At most, we have made some progress this time. Our opponent is ourselves!"

Wang Bowen looked at him helplessly, "You're the only one who can talk so much in a day! But, it's also true - it's unrealistic to ask for too much..."

He added, "Just improve by five places. If you improve by five places, I'll give you a reward. What do you want? Do you want a game console?"

"It's a deal!" Wang Shuowei immediately took over.

Compared to Wang Shuowei's excitement, Zhang Chen just smiled.

Wang Bowen smelled something different from Zhang Chen. He felt that Zhang Chen seemed to have changed. The game consoles that he and Wang Shuowei were extremely passionate about in the past seemed to be not so important to him anymore.

What makes a teenager lose his enthusiasm?

Wang Bowen sighed and felt sorry for the young man. Perhaps it was because he was trapped in his family and felt the pressure of family too early that he could not have the things he should love the most at this age.

He recalled that when he went to the village to help with poverty alleviation, there was a poor child who brought the charity lunch home to his mother and sister and ate the bones on the table himself.

This also deepened his desire to help Zhang Chen's family.

Wang Bowen said, "Zhang Chen, my godson... you should also know that your parents would rather see your grades improve and go to college than your quick thinking and being able to do some business, right? That way, they will be happy even if they have to eat coarse food every day."

"Pay more attention..."

"OK."
