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

Chapter 2281 Sneaking Out to Help
Lin Mei is Fei Ni's good friend and Fei Ni's older brother Fei Ting's girlfriend. The two have a very deep relationship.

In order to go to university, Fei Ni took the initiative to take care of Zhou Chen. As a good friend, Lin Mei did not approve of this, but she also knew Fei Ni's determination to go to university and hoped that Fei Ni could get into university.

Of course, she also had her own selfish motives. The Fei family had two rooms. If Fei Ni got into university, she could live at the school, and the Fei family could free up one room, which would make it easier for her to marry Fei Ting. But that was just a side benefit. She genuinely hoped that Fei Ni could fulfill her dream and go to university.

Lin Mei works at the supply and marketing cooperative. Out of respect for Fei Ni, she occasionally brings some things from the cooperative with Fei Ni.
Today, she and Fei Ni came to the hospital to visit Zhou Chen, and they even helped push Zhou Chen out of the ward.

Zhou Chen sat quietly on the stone bench, looking at the leaves in front of him. He had been very bored during this period. Apart from the doctors and nurses, only Fei Ni came to see him and talk to him. Otherwise, he stayed quietly in the ward.

However, Zhou Chen had long been used to loneliness. He was genuinely bored, after all, it was only the 1970s or 80s, and there weren't many entertainment options. The only thing that helped him pass the time was the books Fei Ni brought him.

Lin Mei and Fei Ni sat not far from Zhou Chen, talking quietly.

"Fei Ni, how's Fang Muyang doing lately? Has his memory recovered any?"

Fei Ni shook her head. Lin Mei wasn't surprised. Instead, she asked with concern, "Are you really sure? Taking care of a mentally challenged person is much harder than taking care of a comatose patient."

Upon hearing this, Fei Ni corrected her, "I'll say it again, he's not stupid, he just forgot, he lost his memory, he's not stupid."

Since Zhou Chen woke up, she has been the person who has spent the most time with him, coming over almost every day. In her interactions with Zhou Chen, although he pretends very well, she feels that Zhou Chen is not stupid at all, he has just lost his previous memories and habits.

"Fine, he's not stupid, you're the stupid one."

Lin Mei didn't argue with Fei Ni, but earnestly advised her, "Fei Ni, you really have to listen to me this time. This is a trap, and you can't fall into it again."

Fei Ni knew all too well that this was a long-term commitment, but she was unwilling to give up. After all, it was her chance to go to university, and she didn't want to give up even if there was only a slight possibility.

“Director Xu said that as long as I can take good care of him, he will recommend me to go to university. I can’t just give up like this. You know how much I want to go to university.”

"But what if he doesn't get better?"

Lin Mei's words stunned Fei Ni, but she quickly added, "He'll definitely get better. Everyone said he wouldn't wake up, but he's awake now. Since he's woken up, I believe he can regain his memory. I'm confident."

Lin Mei felt sorry for her good friend and earnestly advised her again, "Fei Ni, if it doesn't work this year, try next year, and if it doesn't work next year, try the year after. There's more than one way to go to university."

Fei Ni lowered her head: "Lin Mei, you know, I've been working hard for three years. If there were any better way, I wouldn't have chosen this method. I don't know if I'll have the courage to fight for it next year. I don't want to watch my will be worn down little by little, so I have to seize this opportunity. This may be the closest I've ever been to university."

"Ugh."

Lin Mei sighed; she was used to Fei Ni's behavior.

I don't understand, but I respect it.

"You, you just won't turn back until you hit a brick wall, no, even if you do, you still won't turn back."

"Fei Ni, doesn't he have any other relatives or friends? You can't be the only one taking care of him, can you?"

Fei Ni remembered a woman who had visited Zhou Chen when he was unconscious. Her name was Ling Yi, and she claimed to be Fang Muyang's girlfriend. In Fei Ni's opinion, since she was his girlfriend, she must be very close to Zhou Chen, and perhaps she could stimulate Zhou Chen to regain his memories.

Thinking of this, Fei Ni couldn't help herself. The next day, she went directly to Jiangcheng University to find Ling Yi, hoping to persuade Ling Yi to go see Zhou Chen and help him regain his memory.

Having spent more than ten days in the hospital without leaving, Zhou Chen was getting restless. He hadn't traveled back to the 70s or 80s in a long time and was quite nostalgic for that era, so he decided to go out for a stroll today.

Because Zhou Chen hadn't left his ward much before and hadn't caused any trouble, the doctors and nurses at the hospital didn't keep an eye on him. After changing his clothes, he easily walked out of the ward.

Stepping out of the hospital and onto the street, Zhou Chen felt a strange sense of familiarity looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, the retro houses and streets, the pedestrians and bicycles on the road.

Although he was born in the 1990s in the real world, he still likes the era of the 1970s and 1980s because, relatively speaking, people in that era were more simple and easy to get along with.

Of course, due to the times, the quality of food, drink and housing in China at this time was far inferior to that of decades later. Decades later, people pursued eating well, while now the pursuit was simply to eat enough. If a family could eat their fill every day, they were already ahead of most people in China.

Having been here for more than ten days, he naturally knew his current situation. The city he was in was called Jiangcheng. There was no city called Jiangcheng in the real world. The Jiangcheng here was because it was a movie world. In fact, it was the same as a city in the real world, just with a different name.

Walking on the concrete pavement of the street, the roads now are naturally not as wide as they will be in the future, but there are also not as many cars. Instead, they seem much quieter and more spacious.

The road is mostly populated by pedestrians, with only a few cyclists. There are also many workers in overalls, all kinds of which give people a positive, hardworking and down-to-earth feeling.

In those days, being a worker was one of the most enviable jobs. Everyone was proud to be a worker, and the workers in large state-owned factories were especially proud. A regular worker could support a family of three by being frugal. Dual-income families were highly desirable, and children from dual-income families were very popular when looking for a partner.

Zhou Chen strolled leisurely down the street, looking around with an air of nonchalance. There were relatively few shops on the street, since private businesses were not allowed to operate now, and the shops that could be opened were all state-owned. Apart from that, there were some roadside stalls, such as breakfast stalls. People with certain special circumstances were still allowed to do these things.

Since he had no money, Zhou Chen didn't buy anything. He just came out to stroll around, relax, and get some exercise.

Zhou Chen wasn't in a hurry about the three tasks issued by the system, because he didn't think they were difficult. The key to the main task was time, and the side tasks were even simpler. For Fei Ni, going to university was difficult, but for Zhou Chen, it wasn't difficult to get Fei Ni to go to university.

The simplest example is the college entrance examination two years later. With Fei Ni's abilities, getting into university will not be difficult, as has already been proven in the storyline.

As for fulfilling his dream of becoming a painter, that was even simpler, since he was already a master painter and proficient in various schools of painting, becoming a painter was really no problem for him.

Zhou Chen had been wandering around for over an hour in the blink of an eye. He glanced at the time and knew Fei Ni's shift schedule very well. He knew that Fei Ni would be going to the hospital to see him soon, and he had to go back before that. Otherwise, if Fei Ni found out that he had gone out, she would definitely complain.

Twenty minutes from the hospital, Zhou Chen saw a car parked on the side of the road. It was a 212 Jeep, a model that was usually used by leaders in those days.

He walked over slowly and saw two people standing next to the car. One of them was wearing a Zhongshan suit and looked like a leading cadre. The other was the driver, who was opening the hood of the car and inspecting and repairing the car parts, but obviously, he hadn't fixed them.

The driver raised his oil-stained face and said cautiously, "Manager, the car has a rather serious problem. It might require a more specialized person to fix it. I..."

In this era, drivers not only need to know how to drive, but also how to repair cars. However, most drivers can only handle some simple repairs. When they encounter major problems, they have to find more professional people. This is because in this day and age, repairing cars is a very professional skill. Ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to come into contact with cars, let alone repair them.

The middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit, referred to as the factory director, had a slight frown.

"Xiao Zhu, you're an experienced driver, what's wrong that even you can't solve?"

This driver, Xiao Zhu, is a veteran driver in the factory. He has a lot of experience and is very skilled. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to serve as the driver for the factory director and secretary.

Driver Xiao Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "It must be a problem with the engine, that's why it can't be started. Manager, why don't you wait a moment while I go find someone to fix it?"

"I have a meeting to attend in an hour, and it's too late for you to find someone to fix it now."

"Then I'll go find you another car."

"By the time you find the car, the meeting will be over."

The factory director was very anxious. Today, city leaders had convened a meeting with the leaders of several large state-owned enterprises. As the director of Jiangmian No. 1 Factory, he attached great importance to it and even set off early.

Who would have thought that such a problem would occur halfway through the journey? The car broke down and couldn't be driven.

With the current lack of advanced communication, there simply isn't enough time for a driver to find a car. If he misses the meeting, it will have a significant impact on him, and it will be difficult to explain to his superiors.

Driver Xiao Zhu was sweating profusely with anxiety. He was even more anxious than his boss, since it was his job. He couldn't bear the responsibility if his work delayed his boss's important business.

Zhou Chen happened to be passing by and overheard their conversation, so he walked over.

"Comrades, it looks like your car has a problem. Do you need any help?"

He wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, but he had nothing to do lately, and he was quite interested in old-fashioned cars like the 212 Jeep. With the idea of ​​helping those in need, he decided to do a good deed and lend a hand if he could.

Someone who can ride in this kind of car must be a leader. It's good to make a good connection; you might need it in the future.

Whether there are dates or not, I'll cast a line anyway, since I'm just killing time.

Zhou Chen's sudden appearance startled both the factory manager and the driver, Xiao Zhu. Upon seeing Zhou Chen's youthful appearance, Xiao Zhu immediately began to look down on him.

"Hey buddy, how old are you? Do you even know how to fix a car?"

He had been driving for over a decade and still couldn't solve this problem, so he didn't believe that Zhou Chen, a young man, had the ability to do so.

Zhou Chen was slighted, but he wasn't annoyed. He simply said slowly, "I do know a little about car repair. I saw you guys had been trying to fix it for a while, so I thought I'd come and help. If you don't need it, then I'm sorry to have bothered you."

As he was about to leave, the factory manager hurriedly called him back.

"Wait a minute, sir, you really know how to fix cars?"

"I know a little."

The factory manager saw that although Zhou Chen was young, he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and had an extraordinary temperament. He didn't seem like someone who would boast, so a glimmer of hope immediately arose in his heart.

"Hello comrade, I have an urgent matter to attend to. If you really know how to fix cars, please help me out. Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing; I can pay you."

"Factory Manager..."

The driver, Xiao Zhu, tried to persuade him, but the factory manager gave him a look that terrified him so much that he didn't dare to say a word.

"Comrade, please help me."

The meeting that follows is very important, so the factory manager made the request very sincerely.

Seeing that his attitude was good, Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look first. If it can be fixed, I'll help. If it can't be fixed, then I can't help you."

Men, in particular, have a unique interest in modes of transportation, especially cars.

Although Zhou Chen had not received professional training in car repair, he had driven cars for hundreds of years, through many worlds, and owned more than a thousand vehicles. Sometimes when his car encountered problems, he could solve them himself.

Especially in the several period drama worlds he had traveled to before, there were very few car repair shops, and most of the time when cars had problems, he had to handle them himself, so he was quite confident in his ability to repair cars.

Since the factory manager had spoken, the driver, Xiao Zhu, could only reluctantly walk to the side and give his seat to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's eyes were sharp as he carefully inspected the item. Before he could even speak, the factory manager eagerly asked, "Can it be repaired?"

Zhou Chen didn't even look up and replied directly, "I can fix it, tools."

At the factory manager's instruction, the driver had no choice but to obediently hand the tools to Zhou Chen. Without saying a word, Zhou Chen immediately began the repairs.

Under the watchful eyes of the two men, Zhou Chen quickly got to work and completed the repair in just over ten minutes.

"It's all set up. Go start it and see."

Driver Xiao Zhu watched Zhou Chen repair the car the whole time, but to be honest, he saw all of Zhou Chen's actions clearly. But was it really fixed like that?

So he returned to the driver's seat with some skepticism, started the car, and to his disbelief, this time it actually started successfully.

"Is it really fixed?"

This result really made him question his life. Although Zhou Chen's operation was very smooth, he thought Zhou Chen was just pretending. He never expected that Zhou Chen could actually fix it.

He was shocked, but the factory manager was very happy. Ignoring the oil stains on Zhou Chen's hands, he grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and expressed his gratitude.

"That's wonderful, comrade, thank you so much, you've really helped me a lot..."
