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

Chapter 2279 Hero Who Saved Lives, Director Offers Condolences

It's just a TV series with less than thirty episodes, so for Zhou Chen, watching all the episodes is a very simple matter.

In just one night, he had finished watching the entire series and understood the plot.

After watching the whole series, Zhou Chen's biggest feeling was that it was a period drama full of sweetness and love in a pure era, and the title of the drama was quite fitting.

In particular, the relationship between Fang Muyang and Fei Ni in the original storyline, although it went through many setbacks and difficulties, had a very good ending. Especially from a man's perspective, Fang Muyang did a good enough job for Fei Ni. To be honest, if it were him, he might not have been able to do so well.

However, now that he has transmigrated here and taken Fang Muyang's place, and has the mission issued by the system, he naturally has to do better. Moreover, knowing the plot, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and frustration, so that Fei Ni can live a good life, and so can they all live a good life.

They come, the security!
Having traveled through so many worlds, Zhou Chen had long since developed this good habit. He had experienced all kinds of harsh environments, and the starting point of this world was already quite good for him.

He was now directly awarded the title of "hero who saved lives." This was not decades later; in this era, the title of hero was still highly valued, especially for a hero who had saved several people. The prestige of such a title was extremely high, as evidenced by the preferential treatment Fang Muyang received.

Of course, this hero did indeed risk his life to save others. If it were an ordinary person, even knowing there would be benefits, they probably wouldn't have had the courage or the ability to do it.

After watching the entire episode, Zhou Chen managed to sleep for two hours, but he couldn't sleep anymore once it was light. Several groups of people came and went from the ward, some to check on him, others to watch the spectacle. Finally, Xu Hongqi, the director of the Jiangmian No. 1 Factory's office, brought reporters to the ward to offer his condolences and care.

Although Zhou Chen already knew the plot, he pretended not to know anything, still looking bewildered as if he had lost his memory.

Actually, he wasn't faking it, because he really did have amnesia. He knew the plot, but that was through the plot cards. He didn't receive any memories about Fang Muyang, so strictly speaking, he really did have amnesia.

Xu Hongqi, as expected of the director of the factory office, is adept at social maneuvering and even putting on airs. She brought the reporter along, and her attitude was very sincere and concerned.

Standing beside the hospital bed, Xu Hongqi glanced at the reporter taking pictures, adjusted his posture to be very proper, and spoke in an unusually gentle tone.

"Comrade Fang Muyang, you are not only a person of high moral character, but also a person of strong will. We at Jiangmian No. 1 Factory are all happy for you that you have woken up..."

She started off with bureaucratic jargon, platitudes, empty words, and compliments; she didn't seem to be offering condolences at all, but rather putting on a show.

However, Zhou Chen didn't find anything wrong with Xu Hongqi's attitude and behavior. Most leaders are like that. Although Xu Hongqi wasn't a high-ranking leader, he was still very good at putting on airs and saying nice things.

If we were to name Zhou Chen's greatest strengths, his patience would definitely be one of them. Although Xu Hongqi was putting on an act, his attitude was actually quite good, and he was genuinely kind to some extent, which was much better than those who were two-faced.

He's currently playing the role of someone who has lost their memory, and all he has to do now is pretend to know nothing. So, when it comes to pretending, he's even better at it than Xu Hongqi.

After a burst of enthusiastic praise, Xu Hongqi sat down beside the hospital bed only after the reporter put away his camera.

Feng Lin, who had been following behind Xu Hongqi with a can of fruit in her hand, stepped forward and placed the can on the bedside table. Then, she looked at Zhou Chen with a nervous and cautious expression.

"Comrade Fang Muyang, do you still remember me?"

Zhou Chen certainly didn't remember Feng Lin, but he knew who Feng Lin was. If you were to name the villains in this drama, Feng Lin would definitely be number one; she was a real scoundrel.

Although he knew who Feng Lin was, the character he was playing now prevented him from showing it.

So Zhou Chen looked up at her, examined her carefully, shook his head, and then lowered his head again.

Zhou Chen's reaction surprised Feng Lin, and she hurriedly said, "You're the one who saved me, don't you remember?"

Feng Lin's voice was tense and anxious, with a hint of anticipation. She was actually the one who least wanted the hero who saved her to wake up, because once Zhou Chen woke up, he would definitely expose her cohabitation with her boyfriend Wang Defa. Cohabitation before marriage was a very serious matter of conduct at this time. Once it was found out, it would be a huge problem. Not only would her reputation be completely ruined, but she would also lose her job, and there might even be more serious consequences.

So when she learned that the hero who saved her was unconscious because he had been hit on the head, she felt very fortunate. As long as Zhou Chen didn't wake up, no one would know about her affair with Wang Defa.

But when she learned that Zhou Chen had woken up today, it was as if the sky had fallen, and she had no choice but to come to the hospital with Director Xu to visit him.

She had prepared for the worst, but Zhou Chen's reaction surprised her. He had actually lost his memory?
Her first reaction was disbelief, thinking Zhou Chen was faking it. But upon closer inspection, she realized it didn't seem fake. However, she was still very uneasy and continued to observe carefully.

Finally, she discovered that Zhou Chen was looking down and didn't recognize her at all, which filled her with surprise and joy. She tried her best to remain calm, but she couldn't suppress the urge to smile. She could only turn her head away so that Xu Hongqi wouldn't see her expression.

She wanted to press further to determine if Zhou Chen had truly lost his memory, but Xu Hongqi stopped her, pushed her aside, and spoke gently to Zhou Chen.

"It's alright, Comrade Fang Muyang. I've made contact with your forest farm. You'll be an advanced role model there, an example for everyone to learn from. If you encounter any difficulties or problems in the future, come to me."

Zhou Chen raised his head, looking at Xu Hongqi with a vacant gaze, his eyes filled with a clear sense of bewilderment.

Where is Fei Ni?

Xu Hongqi's expression faltered for a moment, but she reacted quickly and immediately said with a smile, "Of course, besides me, you can also find Fei Ni. Fei Ni is our representative from Jiangmian No. 1 Factory. If you have any difficulties or problems, you can go to Fei Ni, and she will definitely help you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen lowered his head again and remained silent. No matter what Xu Hongqi said, he maintained an expression of incomprehension, leaving Xu Hongqi, full of enthusiasm, at a loss for words. In the end, he could only shut his mouth in frustration.

Actually, when she arrived at the hospital, the doctor had already told her about the situation, but she didn't pay attention. However, after talking to Zhou Chen in person, she felt a deep sense of helplessness. After all, talking to someone who has completely lost their memory and knows nothing is really not an easy thing.

After exchanging a few more words, she lost the desire to continue the conversation. Her visit to Fang Muyang was primarily for the factory's mission and her job. She didn't really have any feelings for the hero who saved her life; at most, she felt a little admiration for him.

Seeing that Zhou Chen knew nothing about her questions and couldn't even answer them, her enthusiasm quickly dissipated, and she completely lost the desire to continue the conversation.

After saying a few more words, she left the ward. Before leaving, she kindly told Zhou Chen to rest well and assured him again that Jiangmian No. 1 Factory would remember his act of saving lives and that he would recuperate well in the hospital.

After leaving the ward, Xu Hongqi found Fei Ni and first praised her enthusiastically. Then he made a solemn statement that once Zhou Chen recovered, he would definitely have their deeds written down and reported to all the staff.

Fei Ni was no match for Xu Hongqi. She was easily swayed by his words. When Xu Hongqi asked her to continue taking care of Zhou Chen, she agreed without hesitation. This was mainly because Xu Hongqi was very good at making grand promises, and they were all promises that Fei Ni hoped for. Fei Ni was completely bewildered and said that she would continue to take care of Zhou Chen until he regained his memory.

Xu Hongqi was waiting for these words, so after Fei Ni said them, he immediately smiled and said that as long as Zhou Chen fully recovered, he would let her be nominated for the factory's advanced worker award. He also said that if she was nominated, she could be recommended to go to university.

Going to university is Fei Ni's Achilles' heel, so after Xu Hongqi said that, she immediately got carried away and said without hesitation that she would definitely take good care of Zhou Chen and make sure he fully recovered.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Xu Hongqi offered Fei Ni a few words of encouragement before hurriedly leaving with his entourage.

The naive Fei Ni was completely unaware of the problem. Instead, she innocently believed that her actions had been approved by Xu Hongqi, which gave her even more motivation.

Zhou Chen didn't care at all about Xu Hongqi and Feng Lin's departure. Having already learned the plot, he knew very well what kind of people Xu Hongqi and Feng Lin were. Xu Hongqi was alright, but Feng Lin, even though it was their first meeting today, he already felt disgusted with her.

In other words, he needs to maintain the amnesiac persona now, otherwise he will definitely not let someone like Feng Lin have an easy time.

Now is not the time to pay attention to a petty person like Feng Lin. Dealing with someone like Feng Lin can be done anytime. Right now, the most important person to him is Fei Ni, and everything else can be put aside.

After Xu Hongqi and the others left, the ward became quiet again. A little while later, Zhou Chen saw Fei Ni and another woman of similar age walk in.

Although it was their first meeting, he quickly deduced from Fei Ni and the others' conversation that the woman he had never met before was named Lin Mei, Fei Ni's good friend and future sister-in-law. In the story, she was a traditional woman who was very devoted to Fei Ni's brother, Fei Ting.

However, Lin Mei did not stay there for long. After a while, she left, leaving Fei Ni alone.

Fei Ni is now full of energy. She has only one thought: to take good care of Zhou Chen, help him regain his memory as soon as possible, and then win the factory's advanced worker award and become an advanced model worker. After that, she wants the factory to see her efforts and give her a spot in the worker-peasant-soldier college program so that she can fulfill her dream of going to university.

For Fei Ni at this stage, going to university is her biggest goal and her biggest dream. She is willing to work hard and make every effort to get into university.

Taking care of a man of similar age who has been lying in a hospital bed for many days is not something an ordinary woman can do, which shows Fei Ni's determination.

Fei Ni is now full of energy; she got into the zone after seeing Lin Mei off.

She took the original owner Fang Muyang's sketchbook, placed it in front of Zhou Chen, and turned the pages one by one.

“This whole book was drawn by you. Take a good look. Look at this logging camp, thump thump thump… and this big crane, and this, do you remember?”

Zhou Chen certainly wouldn't remember, because he didn't inherit Fang Muyang's memories at all. His understanding of Fang Muyang came from the TV drama plot, so he naturally had no recollection of the contents of these paintings.

To be honest, the paintings in this book are quite good. They're not exactly professional, because the techniques and brushstrokes aren't academic, but the foundation is solid, and the painting style is very original and distinctive. With proper training and the right mentor, such painting skills definitely have the potential to make one an excellent painter.

Thinking about the system's side quest, which is about a painter's dream, this potential does indeed allow one to become an excellent painter.

Seeing that Zhou Chen had no reaction, Fei Ni was very disappointed. She continued to scroll down and soon found a portrait.

"Look at this, isn't this Ling Yi? Look, isn't this Ling Yi? Do you remember Ling Yi?"

Zhou Chen shook his head without hesitation: "I don't know, who is Ling Yi?"

Looking at Zhou Chen's bewildered expression, Fei Ni felt helpless and could only continue flipping through the pages. However, after finishing one book, her mouth was dry, but Zhou Chen still had the same expression, which made her very discouraged. In the end, she could only sigh and put away the picture book.

Despite her disappointment, Fei Ni did not give up. In her mind, going to university was not an easy thing to do. She regarded the current predicament as a test for herself. So instead of being discouraged, she secretly decided that she must work harder in the future.

The next day, she heard about a folk remedy from somewhere, which said that carrots were good for the brain and for restoring memory, so she brought carrots to the hospital.

She handed the carrot directly to Zhou Chen when she came to him.

"Eat this. The doctor said it will help you recover."

Upon seeing the carrot, he frowned. This was something that happened in the plot, and according to Fei Ni's logic, as long as he didn't recover, he would probably have to face carrots for a long time to come.

My mind is still relatively clear, and I returned in time, so here's another chapter!
