A great director who grew up happily

The next afternoon, Chen Jinnian took a few postcards and put them in his backpack. He said, "Auntie, you don't have to send me off. I've already booked a ride."

"I can just take you there, why bother ordering a car?" Wang Qing said warmly, holding his hand. At the same time, she reminded him, "By the way, if Teacher Yu wants to sign, then she can. If she doesn't want to, don't force her. Also, you're hiring someone to do something for you, so be polite."

"Yes, I've remembered it all." Chen Jinnian agreed quickly.

He felt that Wang Qing was even more nervous than he was. After Wang Qing came out of cram school at noon today, she called him home and told him some things to pay attention to while eating, including how to greet people, what tone to use, and what to do if the other party refused. She told him a lot of things.

Her affectionate attitude made Wang Yidi, who was sitting next to her, jealous. She lodged solemn protests many times, trying to restore her legal status as Wang Qing's biological daughter.

Just as Chen Jinnian was agreeing to Wang Qing's nagging, his cell phone rang, so he quickly said, "The driver has arrived, I have to leave quickly."

"Be careful on the road, take all your belongings with you, and don't forget to get in the car." Seeing Chen Jinnian lift his leg to walk out, Wang Qing couldn't help but remind him again.

"Okay, I understand. I'll bring the autographed photo back tonight." Chen Jinnian said with a smile, and then answered the phone. "Hey, Master, wait a few minutes, I'll be there soon."

Wang Qing watched Chen Jinnian enter the elevator before turning around and returning home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Wang Yidi sitting on the sofa with a pout and her legs curled up.

"You little girl, why are you jealous when I treat him better?"

"Of course you can treat him well, but you can't let my position in your heart surpass mine." Wang Yidi said firmly.

"You're such a jealous little thing." Wang Qing put her arm around her daughter's shoulders after sitting down and said, "Do you think I'm telling you all this just for that autographed photo? It's all for you. This is your first play, so of course the more impressive the cast, the better. All this is to prepare you for the stage."

"Ah, Mom, how did you know I was going to perform?" Wang Yidi sat up straight in surprise. She had not yet figured out how to explain to her mother.

After all, filming will interfere with studying.

"I know everything, Mom." Wang Qing smiled confidently, as if she had everything under control.

However, she did not guess, but asked Chen Jinnian privately. Not only did she want to know the role her daughter would play, but she also wanted to know part of the script content.

"Don't worry, Mom will definitely support you in this matter. You definitely can't miss this kind of opportunity. As for other things, don't worry about it. Mom will arrange it."

After hearing what Wang Qing said, Wang Yidi used a trick of a young swallow throwing itself into the forest, and threw herself into Wang Qing's arms, saying sweetly and innocently, "Mom, you are so kind, Mu."

"Stop rubbing your hands on my face, kid."

……

After Chen Jinnian answered the phone, he felt that the driver's voice was very familiar. After coming out of the community, he saw the familiar Ford sedan on the side of the road, with its hazard lights on, waiting for people.

He sat over and opened the passenger door. "Uncle Fang, what a coincidence, it really is you."

Fang Yuan hadn't expected to find an acquaintance, and his face was a little embarrassed. After all, few of his acquaintances knew about his unemployment. However, he still said with a smile, "Hey, Jinnian, I'm surprised. This voice is so familiar."

After Chen Jin stepped inside and fastened his seatbelt, he didn't ask about the online car-hailing service. Instead, he said, "Thank you, Uncle Fang, for taking me there today."

"Why should I be so tired? I haven't thanked you yet for helping our Lei'er so much. Wait a minute, I'll cancel the order and I'll give you the ride for free." After saying that, Fang Yuan started tapping the phone on the stand.

"No, I won't take it if it's cancelled," Chen Jinnian said hastily, firmly stopping Fang Yuan. After Fang Yuan gave up, he continued to ask, "What happened yesterday afternoon? I ran into Ji Yangyang after school, and he didn't really want to talk about it."

He was quite curious about this matter. The self-criticism was not written by Ji Yangyang, so how could it cause such trouble?

"Oh." Fang Yuan also sighed deeply when talking about this matter. He turned the steering wheel to the right and came out of this narrow road before continuing to speak.

"After all, it's all Fanfan's fault. You said he's eighteen years old, but still as young as a child. That's not true. He's worse than a child. Children know that if they encounter a problem that they can't solve, they should first go to the teacher or the parents. But he insists on solving it himself. Does he have that ability?" Fang Yuan scolded Fang Yifan before he could say anything.

"He doesn't have any, yet he has to make some emoticons to vent his anger. He's just too idle. Who taught him to use one mistake to solve another? If he had that time, he might as well study hard and give his mother less trouble."

"Uncle Fang, what I want to ask is what happened yesterday afternoon." Chen Jinnian reminded him weakly when he saw that the topic was starting to go off track.

"Oh, actually everything went quite smoothly yesterday afternoon, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily. But Old Ji is a bit too straightforward. He seemed to have discovered that the self-criticism was not written by Ji Yangyang, and the two of them started arguing downstairs. Ji Yangyang felt wronged and ran away." Fang Yuan roughly explained what happened.

"Actually, it's not easy for Old Ji either. He's been busy with this for so many years. Plus, Ji Yangyang's words were a bit too much, so his blood pressure shot up on the spot and he couldn't even stand steadily."

"So that's how it is." Chen Jinnian nodded. He didn't expect that the problem would eventually arise from the review. However, he shouldn't say that. Even if there was no review, the conflict between father and son would still break out. It was just a matter of changing the fuse.

"By the way, you are quite familiar with Ji Yangyang. Who wrote his self-criticism?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"The secret cannot be revealed." He would not admit it voluntarily, just like Fang Yuan would not admit that he wrote Fang Yifan's review. They were both old foxes, so there was no need to trick each other.

It took Chen Jinnian nearly fifty minutes to reach his destination, and it took him quite a while to find the location of Dalin's house.

"Oh, you're finally here. If you hadn't come earlier, I would have waited for you at the intersection." After Dalin welcomed it in, he started to complain. The main reason was that usually no one came here, and the guest who finally came hadn't arrived for a long time.

"I'm not familiar with this place. I just followed the navigation and ran here little by little." Chen Jinnian looked at the room. It was a loft-style apartment with a living room and bathroom on the ground floor and a bedroom on the second floor.

Before coming here, he hadn't expected that the young master of Deyun Club would live in such a place.

Seeing Dalin busy with cups and fruits, Chen Jinnian stepped forward to lend a hand and asked, "Isn't the place you rented a bit far from your home?"

"It's not far, this is my home." Dalin said happily. Since his second child was born at the beginning of the year, he moved out of that house and lived on his own. He seldom went back to Changping.

While the two were still packing, the doorbell rang, accompanied by a somewhat anxious shout.

"Open the door quickly."
