Chapter 685 Conflict, Military Camp
Because they will leave for the military camp to participate in military training the day after tomorrow, early the next morning, students will go to their respective colleges to pick up their military training uniforms.
The TV photography class that Zhou Chen and the others are in belongs to the Television Media Academy. There are two TV photography classes like them. They belong to the second class, the one with the lowest score.
On the first night of school, several people in the dormitory chatted until lights out. Among them, Jiang Yunming was the most talkative. Tang Qiang and Wang Xiang were not considered introverts, but they were not as eloquent and talkative as Jiang Yunming. On the contrary, Zhou Chen is the one who talks the least.
It's not that Zhou Chen is unsociable, it's mainly because he doesn't have much in common.
Although Zhou Chen is now a college student and wants to integrate into college life, his vision and experience are not comparable to those of college students like Jiang Yunming.
Jiang Yunming and the others talked more about how high school life is, which girl is good-looking, what Internet cafes are around the school, where to go to play in their free time, etc.
Zhou Chen was not interested in any of these, so he could accommodate others and talk about topics that he was not interested in. He couldn't do that, so he could only lower his sense of presence and talk less.
The night of chatting passed quickly. Early the next morning, after Zhou Chen washed up and had breakfast, he was ready to line up to receive training uniforms.
Not to mention, the food in the cafeteria near their dormitory was pretty good, at least much better than the university cafeteria he had in the real world.
When he arrived at the place where the leaders were training uniforms, he found a long queue waiting there. Zhou Chen looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already rising high.
Although the hottest summer has passed, the weather is still very hot. With such a long queue, I don’t know how long it will last.
Looking at the team, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked towards the back of the team.
In the team, Lu Qiaochuan was talking to his good friend Ren Yifan, but Ren Yifan suddenly saw Lin Luoxue in front of him, and he felt aroused and wanted to tease her.
It's a pity that Lin Luoxue only had Bi Shisan in her eyes at this time. Although she didn't give Ren Yifan a look, she didn't pay much attention to him. After saying a few words, she took the initiative to stand next to Bi Shisan and talked to Bi Shisan. Ren Yifan looked depressed.
Gu Yixin, who was standing behind Ren Yifan, saw Ren Yifan's thoughts and wanted to ask Ren Yifan to pay to change places with her, but it was a pity that Ren Yifan didn't bring any money.
Zhou Chen walked over at this time. He did not queue at the back of the queue, but walked next to Gu Yixin.
Gu Yixin saw Zhou Chen walking over, still staring at him, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but took out a twenty-dollar bill from his pocket and placed it in front of Gu Yixin along with the military training uniform bill.
"Help me lead the military training uniform, these twenty are the reward."
Gu Yixin was overjoyed, but out of a businessman's instinct, he bargained: "Isn't twenty a little too low for this one under the scorching sun?"
Zhou Chen said: "In business, you have to go back and forth for a long time. If you wait in line, twenty is a lot. What's more, I asked you to find a driving school, let alone have a business to take care of you in the future."
When it came to this, Gu Yixin stopped bargaining and took the money and bills directly from Zhou Chen's hand.
"No problem, leave it to me, boss. Go and rest in the shade quickly, don't burn out your skin."
Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, there is a future."
After saying that, he actually walked to the lobby of the building in front of the team, took out his mobile phone and started playing.
The conversation between Zhou Chen and Gu Yixin was naturally seen by the people in front and behind.
Ren Yifan, who was standing in front of Gu Yixin, looked at him in bewilderment: "Who is this guy? He's so awesome, but he just stands in line and still wastes money?"
Gu Yixin said angrily: "What do you know? This is a fair deal. You think everyone is like you, so stingy."
"I dig?"
Ren Yifan's eyes widened in disbelief. No girl would dare to accuse him of picking at him after he has grown so big.
Gu Yixin ignored her and happily collected the twenty yuan. This business was a windfall. It seemed that this Zhou Chen was really her big customer. She had never seen anyone who paid so readily as Zhou Chen. .
Ren Yifan had nothing to say and asked, "So, are we in the same class as you guys?"
Lu Qiaochuan came over at this time and said: "Not only are we in the same class, but we are also fellow villagers."
"Fellow fellow? He is also from Sioux City?"
"Yes, he is also from Su City. He took the same train as me and Zhong Bai, and he sat across from me."
"When you said that, I seem to have some impression. I heard you mention it last night."
"Yes, that's him. His name is Zhou Chen."
Ren Yifan looked at Zhou Chen standing in the shade in the distance and held his chin: "He is actually a fellow countryman with us. Although he is not as handsome as me, he is still pretty good."
"hehe."
Gu Yixin responded with a disdainful sneer: "Don't be narcissistic. Not only is Zhou Chen more handsome than you, he is also taller than you."
Ren Yifan was dissatisfied: "You have an aesthetic problem, Mr. Lu, tell me, who is more handsome, me or him?"
Lu Qiaochuan hesitated: "I don't think there is any need to be so entangled in this issue. Everyone has different perspectives."
Although he and Ren Yifan have been good friends for many years, they have to admit that Zhou Chen is about 1.8 meters tall, which makes him look inferior to Ren Yifan. In terms of appearance, although Ren Yifan is a bit more delicate, Zhou Chen looks straight and more masculine. taste.
Also, although he and Zhou Chen had not known each other for a long time, they always felt that Zhou Chen had a cool temperament, which was sometimes similar to Zhong Bai.
"Mr. Lu, I found that you have changed."
His best friend did not speak for him, and Ren Yifan's eyes suddenly became dissatisfied, staring at Lu Qiaochuan fiercely.
"It's moving, Mr. Ren, move forward quickly."
After more than half an hour, it was Lu Qiaochuan's turn to receive their clothes. After receiving their clothes, the few people came to the hall.
Gu Yixin handed the military training uniform and shoes to Zhou Chen: "I have brought the clothes. See if they fit. If not, I can help you change them. It costs thirty yuan to change the clothes downstairs in the girls' dormitory. We are so familiar with each other. Yes, if you ask me to change it, I will charge you twenty."
Zhou Chen took the clothes and looked at the size. It was 185. He understood that Gu Yixin probably didn't choose the big size on purpose. After all, when choosing clothes, everyone must choose big rather than small.
If the clothes are too big, you can still change them, but if they are too small, you can't even change them.
After a few gestures, Zhou Chen threw the clothes to Gu Yixin again.
"Let's change it, but I don't have any change now. When you go back, please increase my prestige, and I will use my prestige to send you a red envelope."
"no problem."
Gu Yixin immediately agreed, and it was another business deal. She really 'loved' Zhou Chen to death now.
Although Zhou Chen didn't know how to show mercy to her, as long as she could do something with her, she would have forgotten about such trivial matters.
Gu Yixin took Zhou Chen's order and set his sights on Ren Yifan. Unfortunately, Bi Shisan spoke at this time and took away all his business. Gu Yixin was so angry that he almost broke out on the spot.
Zhou Chen walked briskly towards the boys' dormitory while admiring the young girls coming and going.
"Hey, man."
A figure suddenly came closer. Zhou Chen looked at it and immediately recognized it. He had just seen it. It was Ren Yifan, a good friend of Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai.
"Hello, you are a good friend of Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai, right?"
Ren Yifan said familiarly: "Yes, my name is Ren Yifan. I heard from Mr. Lu that your hometown is also from Sioux City?"
"right."
"Then where are you from Sioux City? Where did you go to high school?"
Ren Yifan asked enthusiastically. If it were anyone else, he would not be so enthusiastic. Mainly because Lu Qiaochuan said before that Zhou Chen was a fellow villager with them, so he was so enthusiastic.
No matter where you are, people from the same hometown will definitely be closer to you.
"My family is from Gusu District, and my high school was in..."
"Really? Our home is also nearby. It's fate."
After saying a few words, Ren Yifan became familiar with Zhou Chen. He learned that Zhou Chen lived next door to Luqiaochuan, so he walked towards the dormitory while chatting.
Ren Yifan is indeed a eloquent person, but Zhou Chen still feels keenly that Ren Yifan's enthusiasm is only superficial, but in fact there is a fundamental difference between his attitude towards Lu Qiaochuan.
Ren Yifan did not return to his dormitory, but followed Zhou Chen to the sixth floor.
"Zhou Chen, come, let's go talk to Mr. Lu."
Ren Yifan pulled Zhou Chen into dormitory 601. At this time, Lu Qiaochuan and the others were trying on military training uniforms, especially Xiao Haiyang, who was trying on pants. Suddenly someone pushed the door in, startling him and quickly pulling up his pants. .
"Damn, it's you. It scared me. I thought it was who it was."
Ren Yifan shouted: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of a girl rushing in in the boys' dormitory?"
After that, he said to Lu Qiaochuan: "Mr. Lu, let me tell you, Zhou Chen is not only from Su City, he is also in the same district as us, especially close to Zhong Bai's house."
"Really? That's such a coincidence."
Lu Qiaochuan was also surprised. The three of them had made an appointment to report here together, but they didn't expect to meet Zhou Chen, a fellow countryman.
Zhou Chen chatted with Lu Qiaochuan and others for a while. They had just met each other for a day and didn't have much in common with each other, so after chatting for a while, Zhou Chen was ready to go back to the dormitory.
When he came to the door and was about to open the door, there was a sudden 'bang' sound, and someone kicked open the dormitory door with brute force. Zhou Chen reacted quickly, but because he was already standing behind the door, even if he took a step back, Still not completely avoided.
The wooden door hit Zhou Chen's left arm. Even though Zhou Chen was in good physical condition, the sudden impact still made him feel severe pain for an instant.
Two men in their early twenties walked into the dormitory. One of them was carrying a video recorder, and the other was holding a microphone.
When they saw Zhou Chen being hit, not only did they not apologize, but they walked straight into the dormitory without asking a question.
The four people in the dormitory, Lu Qiaochuan, were also startled by the sound of the door being kicked, and couldn't help but look at the two boys who came in.
The two people who rushed in walked straight towards Lu Qiaochuan and the others without any courtesy. The boy walking in front with the microphone yelled carelessly.
"There is a rumor going around here that there is a boy with a cephalophilia. Is he from your dormitory?"
Yu Hao, who was confused, immediately pointed at Lu Qiaochuan: "That's him."
Lu Qiaochuan looked confused. The boy with the microphone pointed at Lu Qiaochuan and shouted rudely: "It's you. You are so hard to find. Get up, stand up."
Lu Qiaochuan had a soft temper. After being scolded, he quickly stood up with a slightly nervous look on his face.
However, Ren Yifan asked unhappily: "Who are you?"
The man glanced at Ren Yifan, ignored him, and continued to say to Lu Qiaochuan: "We are juniors, and now we need..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"etc."
Zhou Chen came over and stood in front of the video recorder, blocking the filming.
The two junior students saw Zhou Chen blocking their shooting, and they were very unhappy and asked: "Who are you? Do you know that you are blocking the camera? Get out of the way quickly."
As he said that, the boy holding the microphone pushed Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was pushed and didn't move at all. Instead, he quickly reached out and grabbed the other person's hand.
"You just bumped into me and didn't apologize. Now you pushed me again, which made me very unhappy."
The junior boy holding the microphone sneered: "What does it have to do with me whether you are happy or not? You are just a freshman. Just treat it as a senior and I will teach you."
As he said that, he wanted to withdraw his hand, but when he tried hard, he found that his hand was tightly grasped by Zhou Chen, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.
"Senior Brother? You're so awesome."
Zhou Chen showed a disdainful sneer: "If you want to teach me, you are not qualified."
With a sudden force, the junior boy whose hand was grabbed by him felt a huge force coming, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably, hitting the table behind him hard.
"boom."
"ah!"
Collisions and screams sounded at the same time.
This sudden scene shocked everyone in the dormitory. Yu Hao even screamed, then quickly covered his mouth and looked at Zhou Chen in horror.
Another junior student was also frightened by his companion's screams and miserable situation, but anger followed immediately.
As juniors, they have a feeling that they are superior to freshmen. In their opinion, freshmen should give in when facing them.
But he never expected that Zhou Chen would be so strong, and he would dare to attack them just after being touched by the door.
"You dare to attack Junior Brother, who gave you the courage? Believe it or not, you will be punished immediately."
Zhou Chen looked at the junior boy holding the camera, and the smile on his face became even more disdainful.
"Which of your eyes saw me making a move? He obviously pushed me and didn't push me, but he fell instead. How can it be considered that I made a move?"
"Don't think that you are just juniors and just say what you say. There are witnesses here. Ask them, who saw me doing it?"
Ren Yifan was the first to stand up: "I didn't see it, but I saw you pushing people. I can testify."
Xiao Haiyang also said loudly: "I can also testify that no one did it, but you did it."
Lu Qiaochuan was a little timid and did not dare to speak, but Yu Hao hesitated and whispered: "I, I can also testify."
Zhou Chen then said to the junior boy, who was rubbing his waist, his face full of pain, and being assisted by his companions: "Did you see it? This is a witness."
The junior boy who was hit had a painful expression on his face, and the severe pain in his back made him miserable. If he hadn't taken his own face into consideration, he would have started wailing.
"You, don't be too arrogant."
Zhou Chen's expression turned cold: "Am I arrogant? You guys have the nerve to say it. You kicked in the door for no reason. It's not an exaggeration to accuse you of breaking into a private house, let alone hurting someone. Even if you are sued, When it comes to the school, you may not know who will suffer in the end.”
"You, you, okay, I'm sorry, I'll remember you. If you can, tell me what your name is?"
The boys who suffered a loss knew that the situation was not good for them, but they did not want to lose face, so they could only pretend to threaten Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "What a coincidence, the thing I'm not afraid of the most is being threatened. Remember, my name is Zhou Chen. I'm from the TV photography class. I'll be with you at any time."
"Okay, you wait."
With that said, the two people were about to leave, but Zhou Chen stepped over and stood in front of them.
The expressions of the two junior boys suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. You just bumped into me and haven't apologized to me yet. Now I give you two choices, either apologize to me sincerely, or I bump into you too."
"Don't bully others too much."
Zhou Chen's eyes widened, and an invisible force pressed over him: "Apologise, or do you want me to do something?"
The two junior students suddenly felt short of breath. Looking at Zhou Chen in front of them, they couldn't help but feel nervous. This guy was obviously a freshman, how could he be so strong?
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
In the end, the two people could only bow their heads and admit their mistake, and then ran out of dormitory 601 in despair.
"Awesome, Zhou Chen, you are too awesome."
As soon as the two junior boys left, Ren Yifan screamed and walked back and forth in front of Zhou Chen, letting out a series of exclamations.
Xiao Haiyang, Lu Qiaochuan and Yu Hao also looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.
Xiao Haiyang said: "It's really cool. I've been here for two freshmen years, but this is the first time I've seen a freshman who can clearly take care of the juniors."
Lu Qiaochuan muttered: "Fighting is a bad behavior. Fortunately, we didn't start a fight."
"go."
Yu Hao pushed him angrily, "It's not you who caused it, but Zhou Chen, you were so manly just now. People admire you to death, Brother Chen."
Zhou Chen felt a cold air rush from the soles of his feet to his heart, and said quickly: "No, Brother Hao, you are my brother, you are my brother, please don't talk to me in this tone."
Yu Hao, who had an expression of admiration on his face, suddenly became embarrassed.
"It's annoying, it's a waste of people's expressions."
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't mind Yu Hao's effeminate personality, but if he talked to him coquettishly, he, a grown man, really couldn't stand it.
Ren Yifan had already taken action at this time and pressed Zhou Chen's chest several times.
"How did you develop these chest muscles and this strength? I saw that the guy just pushed you, but you didn't react at all. Instead, you pushed lightly and he seemed to be out of control."
Zhou Chen slapped Ren Yifan's hand away and said, "It's very simple, eat more and exercise more."
Ren Yifan winked in a funny way: "Do more exercise. Does that kind of exercise count?"
Zhou Chen's experience was much higher than that of Ren Yifan, and he said calmly: "Of course, as long as you can maintain a posture and move non-stop for ten minutes, it will be considered a small achievement."
"Hey, I'm a fellow-traveler."
Ren Yifan understood instantly, and then smiled mischievously.
Zhou Chen didn't stay in 601 for long and quickly returned to his dormitory. However, not long after, many people came to the dormitory and asked him about the conflict between him and his junior brother just now, which made Zhou Chen impatient. Its annoying.
What was even more unpleasant was that in the end, his head teacher Ye Jiping called him and asked him to go to the office with Lu Qiaochuan and the others.
Zhou Chen, Lu Qiaochuan, Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao, the four of them spent more than half an hour with difficulty amid Ye Jiping's chatter.
However, Ye Jiping just talked to them and there was no other punishment. Presumably the two juniors also knew that this kind of thing was not suitable to be reported to the school. Ye Jiping probably just heard someone talk about the situation, so he came to give a warning. .
"Do you remember what I said? Especially you, Zhou Chen."
"Remember, be a good person."
After listening to Ye Jiping talking for so long, Zhou Chen and the others were impatient and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Ye Jiping nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to know. Go ahead and pack up. You will take the car to the military camp tomorrow morning."
Zhou Chen and the others immediately left the office. As soon as they left the office, they saw Zhong Bai and Ren Yifan waiting at the door.
As soon as he recognized him, Zhong Bai immediately pulled Lu Qiaochuan nervously: "Lu Qiaochuan, are you okay?"
Lu Qiaochuan: "I'm fine, don't worry, we didn't start a fight."
Zhong Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and then she looked at Zhou Chen and the others.
"Don't cause Lu Qiaochuan to cause trouble in the future, he won't fight."
Zhou Chen didn't feel anything, but Xiao Haiyang was a little unhappy.
Lu Qiaochuan quickly explained: "Zhong Bai, it has nothing to do with them. After all, I am the one who caused Zhou Chen's trouble."
Zhou Chen said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with you. They met me. I'll leave first."
"Zhou Chen, wait for me."
Yu Hao quickly followed, Xiao Haiyang looked at Zhong Bai, and then he also chased after him.
After the people left, Lu Qiaochuan said slightly dissatisfied: "Zhong Bai, I know you care about me, but you shouldn't talk like that."
Zhong Bai said: "I'm not wrong. I don't know you yet. You will definitely not take the initiative to cause trouble."
"Ahem."
Ren Yifan coughed twice and said, "Zhong Bai, I want to talk about you. Your behavior just now is indeed inappropriate. Mr. Lu also wants to save face."
"Shut up, you have no business to speak. You were there at the time, why didn't you stop me?"
"Holy crap, can this be blamed on me? If Zhou Chen hadn't done it too quickly, I would have gone up to kill those two juniors."
"Just blow it."
"…………"
As soon as Zhou Chen returned to the dormitory door, Gu Yixin came towards him.
"Zhou Chen, your military training uniform has been changed, making sure it fits properly."
Zhou Chen took it casually and asked, "How is your inquiry about the driving school going?"
Gu Yixin replied: "I have contacted you again. After the military training is over, you can sign up immediately. I will definitely choose the most cost-effective one for you."
Zhou Chen said: "It doesn't matter whether it's cost-effective or not, the most important thing is that it's quick."
He has more than two hundred years of driving experience. There is probably no one older than him in the world. Even if his current skills are not as good as those of professional racing drivers, they are definitely better than those of amateur racing drivers. Much higher.
So naturally he didn't want to waste time learning to get a driver's license. He just wanted to get a driver's license as soon as possible and then buy a mobility scooter and drive.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and contact you now."
Gu Yixin waved his hands, spread his legs and ran away.
Zhou Chen returned to the dormitory and found that Jiang Yunming in the dormitory had bought a lot of 'insoles' and enthusiastically offered to give some of them to Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen declined politely.
Military training couldn't be easier for Zhou Chen. With his current physical fitness, he can definitely beat those instructors.
Time soon came to the early morning of the next day. The freshmen had packed their things. They would spend the next twenty days in the military camp and could not go out. Many things were not available in the military camp, so many things had to be prepared in advance. good.
When the time came, everyone gathered at the designated location with backpacks and suitcases.
Everyone stood in class units, and there were many teachers around to maintain order.
Yu Hao was chatting with the three people in his dormitory. When he saw Zhou Chen, he immediately pulled Zhou Chen over.
"Zhou Chen, let me tell you a secret. It's so interesting. Xiao Haiyang has been hiding it for three years..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Haiyang was waiting for death: "Brother Hao, can you stop talking? Just let me be quiet, okay?"
"Hey, it's boring."
Yu Hao snarled unhappily, and then started chatting with Zhou Chen again.
"Zhou Chen, you probably haven't been to Chaozhou, right? Let me tell you, our place..."
"I've been there."
"Ah? Have you been there?"
"Yes, I have been to not only Chaozhou, Xiangjiang, and Ao Island, but I can even speak some of your Chaozhou dialect."
"Really or not?" Yu Hao looked unbelieving.
Zhou Chen opened his mouth and said a few words: "..."
The next moment, Yu Hao's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. Although what Zhou Chen said was not particularly standard, he completely understood it. It could be said that it was quite different.
"It's amazing, my brother Chen. He can even speak our Chaozhou dialect. That's awesome."
Perhaps because Zhou Chen could really speak his hometown dialect, Yu Hao became more enthusiastic towards Zhou Chen, pulling him to keep talking about their local customs and interesting things.
Zhou Chen didn't show any impatient expression. He listened patiently to Yu Hao's words and responded with a few words from time to time.
Seeing Zhou Chen chatting happily with Yu Hao, Xiao Haiyang and Lu Qiaochuan both widened their eyes.
"This guy is awesome."
"Yes, if you can withstand Brother Hao's verbal attacks, don't accept it."
Amid the noise of the crowd, a leader walked up to the stage, patted the microphone, and prepared to speak.
"Hello, students from the School of Television Media and Journalism, I am your instructor Guo Yang. The military training lasts for twenty days. During this period, you are not allowed to make trouble or beat the instructors, especially..."
Southern Communication University is very large, with thousands of freshmen, and the surrounding military camps cannot accommodate it, so during military training, the major colleges are separated.
The TV media where Zhou Chen and others work trains with the freshmen of news communication. There are not many people there, only about four to five hundred people in total.
Everyone boarded the school bus one by one according to the class team.
The bus drove for more than an hour, from early morning to dawn, and entered a closed military camp.
It was only after six o'clock when we arrived at the military camp. After getting off the bus, everyone headed to their dormitories under the leadership of the person in charge.
Different from the four-person dormitory in the school, the dormitory in the military camp became an eight-person dormitory. The room was about the same size as the school dormitory, with only simple bunks and not even a normal table.
Dormitories are allocated not according to school dormitories, but according to military training teams.
Twenty boys from the TV photography class and boys from the TV directing class were assigned to a military training class.
The four people in Lu Qiaochuan dormitory were lucky enough to be assigned to a dormitory again. Zhou Chen was also assigned to a dormitory with them. In addition, Wang Xiang from his dormitory was also assigned to a dormitory with him.
The other two people were also in their class, one was named Luan Mengyu and the other was named Chen Tianci.
Zhou Chen chose an upper bunk. Of the bunk beds, he still preferred the upper bunk.
After simply tidying up the mattress, everyone began to change into their military training uniforms. At 7:50, someone outside started shouting to gather.
