Chapter 351 Simei: I am eight years old this year
Monday morning, the 18th.
Qiao Yicheng changed into a formal suit and tie and drove to the TV station to report.
He also became a partner with his lifelong friend Song Qingyuan.
He has the best test scores, and Song Qingyuan also has very good skills. It's really not surprising that they are grouped together.
On the day of work, they went to a problematic construction site to interview, but someone snatched the camera away. Qiao Yicheng struggled to catch up with the other party and took the camera back.
With his current conditions, of course there is no need to care about this camera. In the worst case, he will pay the money to Taili!
But his character is very serious. Let alone the camera being taken away, even if even a microphone is taken away, he has to get it back.
Besides, this is the first day at work. If he makes a fool of himself like this, how will he be able to work in the future? Not to be laughed to death!
And because of this unexpected situation, Song Qingyuan, who was sober in the world, immediately recognized Qiao Yicheng.
After mediating the conflict and coming out of the police station, the two followed the interview vehicle back to the TV station.
When it was time to get off work, the two made an appointment for dinner again, preparing to deepen their friendship.
Standing in front of the black limousine, Song Qingyuan said in surprise:
"Pingji? Qiao Yicheng, you don't show your face! How can you afford to drive a car of this level?"
At this time, there was no common name for "Mercedes-Benz". It was either "Pingzhi" from Hong Kong Island, or it was another name like "Benci".
But anyone who knows the goods knows that the cars of this brand are very good.
And Song Qingyuan came from an extraordinary background, so of course he was a knowledgeable person.
Qiao Yicheng smiled and said: "How can I do that? My father gave me this car."
"Your dad?"
Song Qingyuan became interested. While looking at the car, he admired: "It seems that Dad's business is quite big! Tsk tsk, it's really not easy! When I saw you this morning, I thought you were from an ordinary family!"
Qiao Yicheng shook his head and laughed: "Why am I not an ordinary person? You, on the other hand, are not ordinary at all. I guess you come from a cadre family, right? Don't make excuses, I see all Lao Gao's attitude towards you. "
Song Qingyuan laughed: "Then we are really destined. I am not willing to do the work arranged by my family, and you do not want to follow your father's arrangements. What a coincidence!"
Qiao Yicheng denied: "My dad didn't arrange a job for me. He was very open-minded and said that as long as I don't be a bad person, I can do whatever I want."
Song Qingyuan didn't believe it: "Really?"
Qiao Yicheng said seriously: "It really can't be true anymore."
Song Qingyuan said with envy: "Your dad is too kind, isn't he? He actually lets you go so much!"
"How can this be called laissez-faire? This is called peace of mind!"
Qiao Yicheng smiled proudly, then opened the car door and got in.
"Hurry up and get in the car! I'll take you to eat Jinling roast duck. You can also taste it and see how different it is from the roast duck in Beijing."
"Okay, tonight I will beat you like a rich man."

Two weeks later.
Qiao Sanli has entered the final five days of preparation for the exam.
Even the heartless Qiao Simei felt the tension in the air.
The annual college entrance examination is here again!
"Issei, how are you? Why are you always absent-minded lately?"
Song Qingyuan asked curiously in the canteen of the unit.
"My sister is about to take the college entrance examination, so I'm a little worried."
Qiao Yicheng explained.
"What's there to worry about? With your grades so good, your sister will definitely have no problems. And with your family's conditions, going to college isn't that important."
Song Qingyuan said with relief.
"That's not right. My sister studies very seriously. If she fails and doesn't get admitted to the university she likes, she will definitely feel very sad. Besides, no matter how good the conditions are, they are only external and cannot be obtained by one's own efforts. Things, and no sense of accomplishment!”
What Qiao Yicheng is most proud of is that he was admitted to graduate school and entered a TV station with his own ability.
This is completely different from the feeling of his father helping him take care of everything.
"Ordinary people take the college entrance examination to change their destiny, but you do it to gain a sense of accomplishment. How can you still call yourself an ordinary person?"
Song Qingyuan said with emotion.
"It's not just a sense of accomplishment, it can also improve your cultural level. After all, if you don't study and use your brain, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be wiped out."
"That's true. It's always good to learn more."
"That's the truth! My dad loves to learn. He could talk nonsense with visa officers ten years ago when it came to foreign languages. I still don't have this ability."
"Your dad is also a college student?"
"No, he has a primary school diploma and is purely self-taught."
"When you have time someday, can you introduce me to me? We are good friends. It's not too much to go to your house for a meal, right?"
"Have you read any books about sea view?"
"Viewing the sea? Haha, I like his novels the most. I often secretly bought them and read them. I was criticized by my family for this."
"Guanhai is my dad's pen name."
"Pfft...what did you say?! Is your dad Guan Hai?"
Song Qingyuan suddenly stood up and said in disbelief.
This movement was quite loud and attracted the attention of many colleagues.
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
Qiao Yicheng quickly reached out and pulled Song Qingyuan to sit down.
"Qiao Yicheng, are you too embarrassed? You didn't tell me about such an important thing earlier."
Song Qingyuan complained softly.
"My dad is a very low-key person. He doesn't want others to know his identity. You have such a loud voice, it's like a loudspeaker. If I told you earlier, wouldn't you spread it to everyone?"
"How could it be? The most commendable thing about me is that I keep my mouth shut."
"Seriously Qingyuan, please don't spread the word. My dad no longer writes books, and he doesn't want to worry about this anymore."
"Don't worry! I won't talk nonsense everywhere. But you have to agree to invite me to your house for dinner."
"No problem, I will invite you after my sister finishes her college entrance examination."
"..."
***
July 7, Saturday.
On such a scorching hot day, Qiao Sanli was escorted by her elder brother Qiao Yicheng to her examination room.
For Qiao Yicheng, it is a top priority for his sister to take the college entrance examination.
Because he also put in a lot of hard work and effort, hoping to reap sweet fruits.
So he took two days off, that is, today and the day after tomorrow.
Song Qingyuan also followed.
However, he did not ask for leave, but took a short trip to find out what was going on.
At a quarter past eight, at the gate of Ninth Middle School.
"Sister, come on! You will definitely be admitted to Nanjing University!"
Simei encouraged her loudly, as if what her sister was about to participate in was not the college entrance examination but a boxing match.
"Sanli, just take the exam well, don't be nervous."
After speaking, Chen Tao smiled and touched his eldest daughter's head, as if blessing her.
Sanli took a deep breath first, and then said confidently: "Dad, I will definitely do well in the exam!"
"You should go in early! Dad is not going anywhere, he is just waiting for you outside."
"Um!"
Qiao Sanli nodded, turned and walked to the examination room.
When she entered the school gate, she turned back and waved.
After her figure disappeared from sight, a young man came over with a pen and notebook.
The young man glanced at Chen Tao. A trace of shock first flashed across his face, and then he pretended to ask:
"Hello parent, I am a reporter from the Evening News. Can you tell me how you usually help your children prepare for exams?"
Chen Tao smiled and asked: "How can you assume that I am a parent? Can't I be a candidate taking the college entrance examination? Isn't it okay if I grow a little too impatient?"
Song Qingyuan suppressed his laughter and explained seriously:
"Uncle, I just saw your daughter entering the examination room."
At this time, Chen Tao had already seen Qiao Yicheng's eyes, so he joked:
"Are you wrong? I am not yet twenty-eight years old. Where can I find a daughter who can take the college entrance examination? Simei, tell this reporter uncle, how old are you this year?"
Qiao Simei, who was almost eighteen years old, said with a smile: "I am eight years old this year!"
Song Qingyuan finally couldn't help laughing and said:
"If you are only eight years old, then I am twelve this year."
Chen Tao joked: "Since you are only twelve years old, how did you become a reporter? Are you a liar?"
"Hahaha……"
Qiao Yicheng laughed a few times and began to introduce his family to Song Qingyuan:
"Qingyuan, this is my dad; this is my little sister Qiao Simei; these are my brothers Erqiang and Qiqi; the one who just entered the exam is my eldest sister Sanli; this is me... my little mother Sun Xiaomo."
Little mom?
Song Qingyuan was shocked again, even more surprised than when he saw Chen Tao.
Because Sun Xiaomo is too young, at first glance, she may not even be twenty years old.
Qiao Yicheng ignored Song Qingyuan who was in surprise and continued to introduce:
"Dad, this is my colleague and partner at the TV station, Song Qingyuan."
Chen Tao nodded and praised: "This friend of yours is very good. He is very smart at first glance and will be more sober than you when encountering problems."
Qiao Yicheng was a little confused: "Is this your first time meeting Qingyuan? Can you tell this?"
Song Qingyuan was very proud: "Uncle, your eyesight is really good. I am indeed more rational and clear-headed than Yicheng."
Qiao Simei said curiously: "Dad, how do you view people? Teach me too!"
Chen Tao couldn't help but complain: "What's the use of teaching you? For you, as long as you are handsome, do you need to look at other things?"
"Where is it?"
Qiao Simei immediately denied it: "I obviously value character, not just face!"
Chen Tao smiled and asked: "Qiqi, do you believe what your sister says?"
Qiao Qiqi shook her head honestly.
Because just last night, this obscure sister was still talking to him about the role of good looks... The reason why she was talking to him was because he was thirteen years old and had become an outstanding handsome boy.
"Haha... Simei, even Qiqi doesn't believe you. You should really reflect on it."
Qiao Yicheng smiled happily.
Chen Tao also laughed a few times, and then greeted Song Qingyuan:
"It's too hot outside, let's go to the car and talk!"
With that said, he took Sun Xiaomo's hand and walked towards his car.
‘A man in his late fifties and a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, this is really a pear tree that outweighs the begonias! ’
Song Qingyuan felt secretly.
