The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 233: Chasing the drama, chasing the drama!

With the opening of two stores, the lives of the Zhao family began to become regular.

Zhao Dongchuan's parents and younger sister lived a fulfilling life. Apart from the fact that they had to take turns to work the night shift, they were not tired at all...

Zhao Dongchuan's antique shop has also been set up. He imported a lot of goods from Yiwu, with a complete range of products and cheap prices.

Although he had a lot of fine antiques, he couldn't display them all... He just put some real items in the glass cabinet... Mainly some porcelain, jade, coins from the Ming and Qing dynasties... He didn't dare to display anything too valuable...

There are also many good things on the antique shelf, which are regarded as the treasures of the store. People who know the business can understand them as soon as they come...

Of course, there are cameras in every corner of the store to prevent people with bad intentions.

The shop has been open for more than a month, but it is deserted. Basically no one comes here... Most of the time, it's just passers-by looking through the glass window to see what kind of shop it is... or occasionally people come in to buy some handicrafts.

Zhao Dongchuan was not in a hurry. Selling goods was only one of the purposes of opening a store. Another purpose was to have something to do, to have a regular life, and to kill time...

Currently he only does one thing in the store...that is: watching TV series!

Yes, that’s right, chasing dramas!

Whether it's modern or ancient, domestic or foreign... movies and TV series... he watches them all...

After his last experience of traveling to another world... he deeply realized the benefits of knowing the plot...

So he wants to watch TV series, movies, and even novels that may be included in his film... This project is quite huge. He is currently watching some well-known domestic period dramas...

After all, the previous world was a period drama, so who knows if the next world will also be a period drama?

He looked at the countdown on the system. There were still a few months left... He had to hurry...

The days pass one by one...plain but fulfilling!

On this day, Zhao Dongchuan was helping his father Zhao Qingping unload goods and organize the shelves when a phone call came in.

He took out his phone and looked at it... a strange number starting with 021...

It can't be that the bank is calling again to verify the source of his huge amount of funds... I explained it clearly before...

"Hello... hello, that..."

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhao? This is the auction house...

You are a VIP customer of our auction house. Here is a record that you have consigned a postal item to our auction house... I would like to ask if you are interested in participating in our winter auction..."

"Uh... not interested!"

Zhao Dongchuan wanted to hang up the phone.

"Haha, Mr. Zhao, it's just an invitation. Just come. We won't force you to buy or sell. By the way, there will be a seafood buffet on the day of the auction... and there will also be a sign-in and lucky draw..."

"Oh...what did you ask just now? Say it again!"

"Um, Mr. Zhao, I just asked if you would like to attend our winter auction..."

"Yes! I am very willing!"

"..."

Zhao Dongchuan definitely didn't go there for the buffet. He used to be a multi-millionaire and is now at least a millionaire. How could he "condescend" to attend an auction for such a small profit?

The main purpose is to gain some knowledge, broaden my horizons, and change my mind. I watch TV series every day, and my mind is full of various relationships between characters, who is good with whom, who is not on good terms with whom, who is having an affair with whom... who is becoming an enemy with whom...

His little plot notebook is now full of scribbled and revised key points... In fact, this notebook is mainly used to strengthen his memory... He has bought or printed out many scripts and novels and put them into the space.

He also thought about taking his cell phone or reader to the other world, but he was afraid that the electronic device might have a backdoor and would record any abnormalities in his trip to the other world...

What if you’re not careful and take it out after you come back and sync it to the Internet... then you’re doomed!

So to be on the safe side, he decided to use paper books.

He also spent a fortune on a small solar generator…

There simply wasn't enough room, or he would have to put a car in there!

He had already cleaned up the things in the space...

After returning to the mother world, he first cleared out some gold and sold it, then took out a batch of antiques and put them in the store.

He was worried about leaving many other things outside, so he kept them in the space.

The space is full of all kinds of things... He also placed a foldable hang glider... and a parachute, as well as a set of professional diving equipment. When the time comes to go to the other world together, he wants to be a professional traveler to the other world.

On this day, Zhao Dongchuan went out wearing casual clothes inside and a down jacket outside.

The electronic invitation to the auction has been sent... Anyway, there was no business in the store... He just closed it.

Driving... through the congested Central... we arrived at a five-star hotel in Jing'an District.

After parking the car in the parking lot, I waited for the elevator.

The two elevators were slow to come down.

Zhao Dongchuan was bored and looked at a certain period novel on Tomato...

"This guy is pretty good... This harem... Isn't he afraid of being reported for being a hooligan and getting shot? It's a bit toxic..."

He muttered silently in his heart.

Soon, more and more people were waiting for the elevator...

He suddenly heard a light exclamation.

Zhao Dongchuan's superhuman intuition told him that this was directed at him.

He turned his head and saw a familiar cold face.

"Hey, why is it her?"

Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but be a little stunned. What a coincidence.

This world is really too small. In the parking lot of this hotel, he actually met the female doctor who treated him during the car accident, Dr. Qin.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't say anything, but nodded slightly at her.

Doctor Qin still had a cold expression on his face, like an iceberg... The two of them glanced at each other and then looked away.

"Ding……"

As the elevator door opened, people filed out.

Zhao Dongchuan also slowly followed the crowd into the elevator.

The elevator was silent. Apart from the nods they exchanged before, there was no sign of conversation.

Zhao Dongchuan felt that there were too many people... and there was suspicion of flirting... As for Doctor Qin, she probably didn't want to do that either, after all, she was so cold and seemed to keep people at a distance.

"Ding…………"

The elevator reached the 9th floor. Zhao Dongchuan walked out of the floor, looked at the electronic invitation and on-site instructions, and walked towards the venue.

"Are you going to the auction?"

A cold voice came from behind.

Zhao Dongchuan turned around and saw Doctor Qin, who was looking at him from behind.

"What a coincidence! Is Doctor Qin also attending today's auction?"

he asked with a smile.

"Yes... Since we are all here to attend the auction, let's go together..."

"Have you been feeling unwell recently?"

Perhaps out of concern for the patient's condition, the cold and elegant Dr. Qin did not keep him away. Instead, she invited him into the venue and asked about his condition.

"No, I recovered very well... I don't have any sequelae, I enjoy everything I eat and I feel very healthy!"

Doctor Qin nodded, without asking any more questions, nor did he ask why he could come to this auction...

Just like that, the two of them quietly walked into the venue...
