Chapter 24 Definitely next time
"Dad, I'm much better. Let me go and let's eat together."
Qiao Yingzi calmed down.
No matter what, she can always get some comfort with her dad here.
After all, Chen Tao is not a girl-controller. He will not allow Qiao Yingzi to go to college in Jinling like Qiao Weidong. Instead, he will fully support her idea.
In this way, Qiao Yingzi should not suffer from depression... right?
With Song Qian here, Chen Tao is really not sure.
Because human psychology and spirit are so subtle, they can be said to be the most difficult things to grasp in the world.
"Well, come on, eat. I'll take away the kitchen waste after you're done, so your mother won't be angry after seeing it."
Next, Chen Tao had a meal with Qiao Yingzi, and then had a heart-to-heart talk for a while, telling her not to be anxious or put pressure on herself, and to tell her what was on her mind.
Qiao Yingzi promised well, but can she really do it?
At 8:30 pm, downstairs.
Chen Tao waved his hand and said:
"Yingzi, you should go to bed early and your grades will be acceptable. There is really no need to work too hard, because dad, I have already gone through the hardships for you... Be good, don't send me away, go back and rest!"
Qiao Yingzi smiled and nodded, but thought bitterly in her heart:
‘Dad, can you really not get back together with my mother? ’
Chen Tao took two steps, turned around, handed out a bunch of keys, and said:
"I forgot to tell you that my house has been renovated and I bought a lot of toys to put in it. Here is the key. Come over and relax when you have time!"
Qiao Yingzi suddenly rushed forward, hugged Chen Tao tightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dad!"
Chen Tao is also talking about the small two-bedroom apartment located in Shuxiangyayuan, not far from Building 5.
Back then, Qiao Weidong and Song Qian bought five houses in Shuxiang Yayuan.
After the divorce, Song Qian got four of them, while Qiao Weidong kept one.
In fact, if it weren't for the convenience of seeing his daughter, Qiao Weidong wouldn't want anything.
He felt indebted to Song Qian.
Chen Tao didn’t.
I don't even feel that I am responsible for Song Qian and Qiao Yingzi's mother and daughter.
But he didn't want to see Qiao Yingzi suffering from depression.
Because this kind of mental illness may affect his life, and then affect his father.
"Go back quickly,...you are such a big man, don't let others see the joke."
Chen Tao pinched Qiao Yingzi's pretty face and asked her to leave his arms.
Because Wang Yidi and his daughter were standing nearby, watching their father-daughter interaction with interest.
"Old Qiao, what's going on with you? Is it because Yingzi won't let you go? Then you can stay!"
Wang Qing said with a smile.
She is naturally optimistic and has always been in good spirits. Her daughter is worry-free, so she doesn't have to worry at all.
So, why did Song Qian detain her daughter like a criminal?
Obviously, this girl Qiao Yingzi also makes her parents worry free.
"It's okay to stay. If Song Qian and I get into a fight, it will be bad for Yingzi's studies."
Chen Tao said helplessly.
"Haha, why are you quarreling? Didn't I say that even if you have been separated, you can still be friends..."
When talking about the latter part, Wang Qing also suppressed her smile and seemed a little guilty. After all, it meant standing up and talking without pain in the back.
"Uncle, good evening"
Wang Yidi said hello.
"Well, hello, have you gone to art training?"
Chen Tao asked with a smile.
"No, there is no class today, so I will go shopping with my mother."
Wang Yidi and her mother seemed not to know about the placement test.
"Then I suggest you not to go shopping these two days and review more. There may be a placement test after the school officially starts."
Chen Tao reminded.
"Is there still such a thing? Di Di, let's go home and review quickly."
Wang Qing did not doubt what Chen Tao said at all.
"Hey, Mom, don't push me...Uncle, Yingzi, goodbye"
Wang Yidi smiled and waved.
When mother and daughter entered the elevator, Qiao Yingzi said angrily:
"Dad, everyone is gone, what are you still watching? Really, you already have Sister Lin, why are you still watching Wang Yidi?"
Chen Tao was speechless and couldn't help but flick her forehead and said angrily:
"What are you thinking about, you little kid? I see that mother and daughter have such a good relationship, so I feel a little emotional"
Qiao Yingzi sighed: "Dad, are you blaming my mother again? It's actually not easy for her. I can understand her."
Chen Tao was speechless.
This girl is like this, what else can she say?
***
At 9:30 p.m., Ms. Lin sent an invitation for a video call.
After the call was connected, she saw her uncle leaning on the bedside that she had become very familiar with in the past two months. She asked curiously:
"You went to bed so early? Can you sleep?"
Chen Tao laughed and said, "Without Miss Lin coaxing me, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep, but there's nothing I can do about it. She thinks I'm old and insists on living in the school dormitory."
"How can I think you are old?"
Miss Lin said angrily: "Uncle, you really got an advantage and acted like a good boy! Tell me quickly, say you like me, and then say good night to me."
Chen Tao smiled and said: "Of course I can say that I like you, but forget about saying good night, I still want you to coax me to sleep!"
Miss Lin was confused: "It's not convenient for me to be in the dormitory. If my roommate hears it and finds out that I'm following an uncle like you, then I will definitely die in society."
Chen Tao said shamelessly: "Explain to them when you get there. Uncle is the nickname you gave me because I am only 18 years old, but I look a bit older"
Miss Lin giggled after hearing this:
"Uncle, you are so funny you are only 18 years old, haha, I really don't know how you said it... No, I almost burst into tears from laughing, hahaha..."
Chen Tao also smiled. Looking at the bright smile on Miss Lin's face, he felt that life was so beautiful and that his previous life was in vain.
After laughing for a while, Miss Lin said again:
"No more chatting, uncle. I want to go to bed early for beauty sleep, and you should go to bed early too. Don't think about the things you have or don't have!"
Chen Tao nodded and smiled: "Good night."
The next day, light rain turned cloudy, with a maximum temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.
Chen Tao went to the company in the morning. He had an exclusive investment project that was attracted by other companies and sent people to inquire about the price.
After talking for two hours, both parties were very satisfied and reached an agreement at a premium of 6 million yuan.
At noon, both parties had another meal.
The other party's manager Bai also left a personal phone number for Chen Tao.
For the sake of her maturity and beauty, Chen Tao made a note to see if she could develop some personal friendships in the future.
"Mr. Qiao, come out to eat when you have time"
Before Manager Bai got in the car, he smiled and waved to Chen Tao.
"Definitely next time!"
Chen Tao smiled back.
Next, the female secretary, who did not have a name yet, drove Chen Tao, who had drunk red wine, to the company.
When they were approaching the downstairs of the company, the female secretary sighed:
"Mr. Qiao, you are much younger than before"
Chen Tao smiled and said, "I have a good foundation. Once my face slims down, I will naturally become more handsome."
After hearing this, the female secretary couldn't help but smile.
