Chapter 2985 My Father-in-Law Invites You?!
Seeing that Geng Geng's expression had become somewhat downcast, Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying...

"We can't decide what's going on with the adults, so we might as well mind our own business."

By the way, I heard that Zhenhua High School will have exams after military training. Are you ready?

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Geng Geng immediately became flustered and asked, "What kind of test is it at the beginning of the semester?"

Wang Yue found it very amusing to see Geng Geng's thunderstruck expression, and he said matter-of-factly...
"Of course, the exam covers junior high school and some first-year high school courses! In fact, every school does this, one to test your review ability and the other to test your preview ability."

After hearing this, Geng Geng slumped into her chair, becoming quite withdrawn and not wanting to chat at all.

Wang Yue didn't continue to scare Geng Geng. He felt that since Geng Geng liked taking photos so much, there was no need for her to compete with other college entrance examination students.

So, Wang Yue abruptly asked, "I see you carry a camera with you, so you must really like photography. Have you ever thought about becoming an art student?"

Hearing Wang Yue's words, Geng Geng asked uncertainly, "Art student? How do you take the exam?"

Instead of answering the question, Wang Yue asked solemnly, "This is something that concerns your entire life. Have you thought it through?"

If you've made up your mind, discuss it with your parents before taking the professional exams. Both the Beijing Film Academy and the Shanghai Film Academy have specialized courses for them.

If you choose cinematography, a score of 300 should be enough.

Geng Geng kept Wang Yue's words in mind. She decided to go back and discuss it with her father first. If her father agreed, she thought her mother and the others would agree as well.

If it were a normal mother, she would probably be eavesdropping when her daughter is chatting with another boy.

However, Geng Geng's mother was only focused on talking about serious matters and didn't listen at all, so she had no idea what her daughter was thinking.

Wang Qingshan, however, was different. He was genuinely interested in Geng Geng's mother. He worried that his son might cause trouble and deliberately start a relationship with Geng Geng, which would prevent him from getting married.

So, although Wang Qingshan was chatting with Ma Suqin, he knew that his son was precocious and his attention was also on Wang Yue. He vaguely heard Wang Yue trying to persuade the girl to take the art exam.

Although Wang Qingshan thought Wang Yue was being a bit reckless, he still waited until they got back before asking him.

"Xiao Yue, do you like Aunt Ma's daughter?"

Seeing Wang Qingshan's tense expression, Wang Yue frowned and asked, "Dad, do you remember what I asked you earlier? Is it because you really like Aunt Ma, or because she's in charge of financial loans?"

Wang Qingshan sensed the seriousness in Wang Yue's words and began to think about them carefully.

If it were any other father, being spoken to like that by his son would probably have been furious, but Wang Qingshan knew just how extraordinary his son was.

They learned almost everything in the tutoring classes they attended as children, and even their family's computer, which they mastered in less than six months, was more familiar to them than their own.

Therefore, Wang Qingshan did not treat Wang Yue as an ordinary child, but solemnly said, "Xiao Yue, your Aunt Ma is really too domineering, but she is really important to me."

Wang Yue understood what Wang Qingshan meant. He wanted capital, and if necessary, marriage was an option. He didn't want his father to do that, so he pretended to be hesitant and said, "Dad, how about this, I'll go and date Geng Geng, and then you and Aunt Ma can't be together!"

When Wang Qingshan heard Wang Yue say that, he understood that Wang Yue didn't want him to compromise for money. He was quite touched, but he just said, "You brat, go back to your studies!"

The father and son tacitly agreed not to continue the topic.

However, while Wang Yue and Wang Qingshan have ceased their attacks, Geng Geng is far from calm.

Originally, Geng Geng didn't have any particular ideas. In fact, he had no pursuits other than taking photos. He only went to school because he had to, and he just went through the motions.

Geng Geng likes to take pictures everywhere with her camera, purely out of hobby, and never thought that photography was actually a profession.

In addition, after Geng Geng was admitted to Zhenhua Middle School, she was actually excited but also under a lot of pressure. She was worried about being with those top students and being the last in her class every day.

Now, Wang Yue has given Geng Geng a promising path, making her feel that studying photography in the future, helping directors shoot TV dramas when she works, and taking photos around with a camera in her spare time all seem pretty good.

Of course, the main reason is that Geng Geng is not short of money at all. Her father is a government official, although he is not very successful, he has some connections.

Her mother is wealthy, so even if Geng Geng doesn't have a job in the future, she won't have to worry about food and drink.

So, after thinking about all this, Geng Geng said goodbye to her mother and went home that night to tell her father, Geng Weimin, about Wang Yue's suggestion.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Geng Weimin cautiously and asked, "Dad, is there really such a major? If so, I want to study it." As she said this, Geng Geng waved the latest model camera in her hand.

This camera is quite valuable; for ordinary people, it might cost half a year's or even a year's salary to buy it. However, Geng Geng has more than one camera, which shows how much she loves photography and how much her parents spoil her.

Geng Weimin was indeed a doting father; after hearing Geng Geng's words, he didn't immediately question her, but instead smiled and comforted her.

"Who told you that? I've never heard of this major, but I'll look into it for you. If it really exists, you can study photography if you want."

The photographers Geng Weimin knew were all photographers for TV stations or other media outlets, and many of them were students majoring in journalism and media studies.

Seeing that Geng Weimin didn't stop her, Geng Geng said expectantly, "Dad, then hurry up and ask! This is a major event in your daughter's life."

Seeing how serious Geng Geng was, Geng Weimin really wanted to remind his daughter that getting married was a major life event, but when he met his daughter's expectant eyes, he still gritted his teeth and picked up his phone to make a call.

Geng Weimin became an official because he was a college student in the 80s. Otherwise, even if the Geng family had connections in the system, it would have been very difficult for him to get his current job.

Since he was a college student, he must have classmates, and Geng Weimin found out about them without much effort.

After hanging up the phone, Geng Weimin asked with some confusion, "Geng Geng, there aren't many universities in the whole country that have a photography major. Who told you that?"

Geng Geng felt that Wang Yue would soon become her classmate, so there was no need to hide it. However, the fact that her mother had dinner with another man made her somewhat conflicted.

So, Geng Geng took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "Dad, you and Mom have been divorced for so long, is there really no hope for you two?"

Geng Weimin thought Geng Geng was unhappy. He felt that his daughter had grown up and some things should be made clear, so he sighed and said, "Geng Geng, actually your mother and I are incompatible. You should understand that. If we force ourselves to be together, we will both be in pain."

So, I've chosen to let go, and I hope your mother finds her ideal partner soon.

Seeing her father's words, Geng Geng understood that it was impossible to force her parents to be together, so she said somewhat helplessly,
"Okay, anyway, you took me to see Aunt Qi, and my mom took me to see Uncle Wang. It seems you've both found new partners."

Hearing Geng Geng sighing and complaining, Geng Weimin couldn't help but laugh and say, "You silly girl, it's good that your mother can take it easy."

No matter what, you are still our daughter, and your mother and I will never lack love for you.

Geng Geng really wanted to say that she had only ever received her father's love, and that her mother was always too busy, but not wanting to spoil the atmosphere, she changed the subject.
"Dad, the photography major was suggested by Uncle Wang's son, Wang Yue. He also got into Zhenhua University. When we were having dinner together today, he saw my camera and gave me some advice."

Geng Weimin then understood the whole story, and he immediately said solemnly, "Geng Geng, I have already asked around for you. If you really like photography, you can prepare for the art exam in your second year of high school."

So, you should try it out in your first year of high school. If you can get into university directly and pursue photography as a hobby, that would be even better for you.

After all, once your hobby becomes your job, you might not be as happy picking up a camera as you are now.

Geng Geng was a little confused, but he knew it was his father's good intention, so he didn't refuse.

However, a seed of her dream to become a photographer had taken root and sprouted in her heart.

The next day, Geng Geng went to the bookstore and bought a photography-related book, which she then read with great interest.

It's not surprising that Geng Geng set her dream so easily; it's entirely because she knew her own level and was worried about coming in last place in the first monthly exam after the start of the semester.

Geng Geng felt that if she were an art student, it would be normal for her grades to be a little lower.

After all, most people need around 600 points to get into a university, but art students only need around 300.

Geng Weimin noticed his daughter's little actions, but he was afraid that stopping her would hurt her feelings.

So, while Geng Geng was fiddling with the camera according to the instructions in the book, Geng Weimin asked with a smile,

"Geng Geng, doesn't your new friend know about photography? Why don't you ask him for recommendations? What books do you need to read?"

Geng Geng thought it made a lot of sense and immediately said, "Okay, I happen to have his phone number. I'll ask him out right now and ask him properly."

Geng Weimin felt his chance had come and quickly said, "Geng Geng, this is a big deal for you. Dad also wants to ask. Why don't you call and ask if he can come to our house?"
