Chapter 17 Sense of Responsibility
August 18, Beijing.
This is the day the drama begins.
Ji Yangyang, one of the protagonists, drove a sports car given by his uncle to school. He unexpectedly had a conflict with Fang Yifan, and the two had a fight.
Their senior class teacher, Teacher Li Meng, nicknamed "Iron Bar Yam", called their two mothers.
The main reason is not for them to fight, but because I want to get through their parents' work and let them repeat the grade. The pretense is to study for another year and improve their grades. In fact, I don't know if it is to improve the admission rate.
Speaking of which, Ji Yangyang's family background is remarkable.
His father, Ji Shengli, is the district mayor of Beijing; his mother, Liu Jing, is the director of the planetarium; and his uncle, Liu Zheng, is also a wealthy businessman and owns a go-kart club.
But for a long time, Ji Shengli and Liu Jing were busy with work, so they could only leave Ji Yangyang to their grandmother to raise them. Now for their child's college entrance examination, they rented a house on the first floor with Song Qian to study with their child.
In fact, compared to the college entrance examination, the two parents wanted to take this opportunity to repair their relationship with their children.
There is no way, even if they are blood relatives, the relationship will easily fade after so many years of separation and separation, and they cannot be happy and happy all at once.
Fang Yifan's family is the most ordinary of the three. The family owns a large house in the capital with a loan.
His mother, Tong Wenjie, is currently the deputy financial manager of a certain company; his father, Fangyuan, is currently the legal affairs director of a certain company.
Both of them are considered middle-level leaders, and their annual income is considerable.
As for the Qiao family...
Dad Qiao Weidong, now Chen Tao, is a low-key wealthy man who owns a company and two properties. One is in the central business district and the other is in Shuxiangyayuan, with an annual income of tens of millions.
Her mother, Song Qian, has four houses in the school district. She is a gold medal teacher in an off-campus education institution. Together with her rent income, her annual income is no less than one million.
Therefore, the only ones who really want to pass the college entrance examination and maintain their class are the Fang family.
However, even the Fang family is an existence that is out of reach for most families in the country.
This TV series, if it weren't for a bunch of actors with excellent acting skills and a grasp of the phenomenon of college entrance examinations, would definitely be a suspended drama floating in the sky, and would be criticized by netizens.
Back to business.
That afternoon, Tong Wenjie came to Song Qian's home with her husband and son, worried about her, to inquire about the matter of repeating the grade, and also to have a dinner together in the evening.
In the original plot, Qiao Weidong also came over to give Qiao Yingzi an astronomical telescope that she liked, and was lectured by Song Qian.
But now, Chen Tao and Miss Lin are still packing their luggage in the hotel.
They booked a flight at eight o'clock and could not return to Beijing until early in the morning. This would save Song Qian her saliva.
The reason why Chen Tao didn't fish for a few more days was because tomorrow was the college entrance examination swearing-in ceremony of Chunfeng Middle School, and he had already made an appointment with Qiao Yingzi to attend, so that she would not have only one mother to accompany her.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Qiao Yingzi hid in her room and had a video call with Chen Tao.
"Dad, you must come over tomorrow, otherwise I will ignore you for a month."
Chen Tao smiled and said: "It depends on whether there is bad weather tonight that will affect the flight. If there is, I won't be able to fly back!"
Qiao Yingzi complained: "Why don't you come back earlier? Is it so fun outside?"
Chen Tao once said: "It's really fun outside. If it weren't for your swearing-in ceremony, I would definitely have to play for a week before going back."
Qiao Yingzi said coquettishly: "Dad, you have changed In the past, I was the most important to you, right? Why don't you care about me now?"
Chen Tao laughed: "If I didn't care about you, you should have a younger brother or sister by now!"
Qiao Yingzi knew this very well and whispered with some emotion:
"Dad, you are so kind"
I have to say that Qiao Weidong is really a daughter-in-law. He can really give up raising a few more children for Qiao Yingzi.
And Chen Tao will stay for thirty years, with or without children, which means nothing to him.
***
On August 19, it turned cloudy during the day.
"Uncle, wait a minute"
At the door, Miss Lin suddenly stopped Chen Tao, stood up on tiptoes... hugged his neck, and kissed him on the face.
Chen Tao asked with a smile: "What kind of skills did you learn from this?"
Miss Lin raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you like it?"
Can I still say I don’t like it?
Chen Tao pinched her face: "I like it very much. When I come back, let's go shopping together."
Today is Sunday. Chen Tao does not need to go to the company. He will go there to handle matters tomorrow. He also has to arrange time to treat guests and thank the friend who lent him the US dollars.
Take the elevator downstairs to the garage, then start the car and go to Chunfeng Middle School.
Qiao Weidong has a driver, but Chen Tao often gets into trouble, so he doesn't need one, which makes Old Zheng a lot more relaxed.
In order to avoid traffic jams and have a parking space, Chen Tao set off a long time in advance. When he was near the school, he went to a fast food restaurant to buy some breakfast, took it back to the car, and played with his mobile phone while eating.
As for Qiao Yingzi, she doesn't have to take a car and can sleep a little longer.
Because Shuxiang Yayuan is very close to Chunfeng Middle School, it only takes a few minutes to walk there.
"Old Qiao, have you set off yet?"
Fangyuan was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a mobile phone and making a video call with Chen Tao.
Their home is far from the school, it takes an hour by bus, so they have to leave early.
Chen Tao turned his mobile phone to take pictures of the gate of Chunfeng Middle School and said:
"See? I'm already here and getting ready to have breakfast."
Fangyuan looked at it and immediately regretted:
"If I had known better, we would have set off earlier, but now the road is so congested!"
Tong Wenjie scolded at the side: "I have the nerve to say it, I have told you two to get up a long time ago, but as for you, you are always talking about sleeping for a few more minutes, you really don't care at all!"
After hearing the suggestion of repeating the grade from Li Meng and Song Qian, she has been very angry from yesterday to now, like a pile of dry firewood that will burn when lit.
But Fangyuan was an old man. After a few self-criticisms, he smiled and asked:
"Old Qiao, your training has achieved great results. You can even catch a large grouper weighing more than a hundred pounds. But I can't. I can only raise small fish at home. Have you asked anyone to send the fish back? Let me take advantage of it too."
Chen Tao shook his head: "I gave that fish to my friend."
He didn't lie. He sent the giant grouper to Miss Lin's father, who happily accepted it.
However, if Father Lin knew that Chen Tao had deceived his daughter, he would probably not be so happy. Instead, he would use his own knife to settle the score with Chen Tao.
Fangyuan smiled and said: "Next time you have a chance, you can take me to go fishing. I was so excited that I almost bought a sea rod..."
Tong Wenjie interrupted loudly: "Fang Yuan, what's going on with you? What did you come here for today? Do you still remember? Fanfan is already in his third year of high school. Can you have some snacks? Don't worry about your bad fish!"
When Fangyuan heard this, he quickly put away his playful smile and said to Chen Tao:
"We will consider going fishing after Fanfan graduates. Lao Qiao, you are also interested. Although Yingzi has good grades, she cannot relax."
Chen Tao smiled and said: "Yingzi has good grades and Song Qian is in charge, so I don't have to worry too much."
Tong Wenjie said dissatisfied: "You, you, you will give all your daughter to Song Qian? Can you men have a sense of responsibility?"
Chen Tao asked back: "Song Qian only allows me to see Yingzi once a month, so what can I do? I don't even know the password to open the door downstairs, how can I go up to see Yingzi?"
Tong Wenjie was speechless for a moment.
