A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 242 I have news for you

At Shuxiang Yayuan, Fang Yifan started changing clothes as soon as he returned to the bedroom, while urging Lin Lei'er to hurry up.

"Lei'er, hurry up, Yang Yang and the others will be leaving soon."

"No, cousin, you guys go ahead. I still have time to study." After Lin Lei'er finished speaking, he took out the test paper and tutoring questions from his schoolbag.

"Hey, it's just a meal. It won't take too long and won't affect your chances of taking the top spot in the exam."

But Lin Lei'er had made up his mind not to go. He sat down at his desk, tilted his head and said seriously, "There are still fifty days left before the college entrance examination, but I feel like I still have a lot of areas to fill in. Besides, the food here is not very to my taste. I still want to eat what my uncle cooks."

Seeing that Lin Lei'er really didn't want to go, Fang Yifan stopped trying to persuade her and hurriedly took out a coat from the closet.

"Okay, then you study hard at home, and I'll bring you a midnight snack when I come back."

He took his coat, said hello to his parents in the living room, then hurriedly changed his shoes and went out.

Tong Wenjie just glanced up at her son, then continued to look down at the enrollment information and school introduction, while writing and drawing on them with a pen. Her face was solemn, and there was a bit of anxiety in her actions.

After watching his son leave, Fang Yuan gently touched his wife's shoulder.

"Why don't you pay any attention to your son when he goes out?"

"He's already so old, how could he get lost while going out for a meal?" Tong Wenjie said dissatisfiedly, then threw the transcript of the first mock exam and several art exam certificates over. "You should take a good look at your son's grades. It's really a headache."

Fang Yuan took it, flipped through it, and said, "It's okay. I have the certificate and my grades are above three. It's just that the scores are too low. How come I failed both math and English?"

"What's the point? The art exam is based on professional ranking. Look at this school. They only accept 30 students, and he's ranked 82nd. How could he possibly get a turn?"

"What should we do? After all this trouble, Fang Yifan can only go to a private undergraduate school or a public junior college."

Fang Yuan was a little dumbfounded. He had been busy driving and doing part-time dubbing work recently and had no time to check his two children's grades. He just knew that they both did well in the exams, but he had no idea how they performed in detail.

"Yeah, so I'm looking for other solutions."

Tong Wenjie said as she handed over the documents in her hand, tapping on them with the tip of her pen.

"This is a new method Song Qian recently found for me. There's a new policy now. Candidates with household registration in the six coastal provinces can apply for undergraduate studies at private universities in Taiwan. Our son happens to be one of them, but there are also requirements. His grades need to be above the second-tier line."

"Going to Taiwan isn't bad either, but the grades are a bit high. Our son's grades need to be raised by at least 40 points within 50 days. Hmm, why not sign him up for a class and try it out?"

When Tong Wenjie heard Fang Yuan's words, she rolled her eyes. Of course she had to sign up for the class. If she didn't, how would she raise the issue in the remaining time?

She slammed the coffee table and said irritably, "It's really strange. It's easy for us to get into university, but why is it so difficult for Fang Yifan? Not to mention a key undergraduate program, he can't even get into an ordinary public university now."

"Look at the people he usually hangs out with. Lei'er, Yingzi, and Taozi all have grades in Peking University and Tsinghua University. Ji Yangyang used to have poor grades, but now he can even get into a first-tier university. Wang Yidi can even choose from any of the six art colleges."

Fang Yuan saw Tong Wenjie's angry look and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Hey, why don't you mention Chen Jinnian? I even saw the news."

Tong Wenjie glanced coldly, and an invisible chill enveloped the living room, as if even the temperature had dropped several degrees.

"I'm going to cook, you go ahead and do your thing first."

Fang Yuan stood up awkwardly and quickly went to the kitchen.

A few minutes later, in a private room at Haidilao, Qiao Weidong saw a group of children coming in and greeted them warmly.

"Everyone, please sit down. You should have told me in advance so I could prepare a bigger room. This small private room is a bit awkward."

"Uncle Qiao, you're too polite." Chen Jinnian greeted Qiao Weidong.

The other party has looked visibly haggard recently, and is completely different from the carefree look he had last year. However, this is quite normal. People who work in investment companies are like this. When they make money, they will naturally make a lot of money, but once they make a wrong bet, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.

In addition, Jianguo Baobao is going to take office this year on the other side of the ocean. If Qiao Weidong is not more cautious, it is not impossible that his wealth will be wiped out.

This was indeed the case. Qiao Weidong did not eat here for too long. He just sat for a while, answered the phone and said goodbye and left.

When Qiao Yingzi saw her father was about to leave, she just nodded softly and waved at him, without showing any special emotion.

"Uncle Qiao, have you been so busy lately? I used to want to stick to you every day."

As Chen Jinnian spoke, he picked up the hot pot meat and put it into Wang Yidi's small bowl, and took a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Now that Wang Yidi's art exams are over, she has started trying even chili peppers, which she never touched before. However, her tolerance for spicy food is very low. After just a few bites, she breaks out in a sweat and her cheeks turn red.

"Yeah, it was the same last week. I left after not staying long, and I ate all the rest by myself. I almost died of stuffing myself."

Qiao Yingzi is not an unreasonable little girl. She knows that Qiao Weidong has been very busy recently, so she can understand her father's behavior.

"Yingzi, you should persuade your father to stop busying himself. His old experience is outdated. Now is not the time to make money by doing nothing. It's time to clear out the pile of things he has and buy some stocks of the Big Four Banks and Maozi."

Chen Jinnian knew that Qiao Weidong still wanted to try his luck in real estate, but whether he could get out after the purchase restrictions were implemented and the real estate speculators were killed off was another matter.

"I can't help it. Dad never talks to me about business."

In fact, Qiao Yingzi didn't want Qiao Weidong to make trouble anymore. On this point, she and Song Qian had the same idea. They felt that since life was already good, they should live a good life.

"Hey, stop talking about these things."

Huang Zhitao noticed that Qiao Yingzi was feeling a bit melancholy, so he quickly interrupted her and changed the subject, "I have good news for everyone. My parents are going back to China early next month, and they're going to accompany me to take the college entrance exam."

"What."

"This is great."

Everyone exclaimed and sent congratulations. Huang Zhitao's parents had been away for two years and had never come back once. They even just called on her birthday.

"Taozi, congratulations, you can finally stay with your parents." Ji Yangyang picked up the juice and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I have some news to tell you. My dad has been transferred to Zhonghai City. He'll be leaving next week. After I take the college entrance exam, my mom and I will move there too."

After hearing Ji Yangyang's words, everyone quieted down. They didn't expect that their life in Shuxiang Yayuan would come to an end so soon.
