A great director who grew up happily

After school in the afternoon, in the indoor gymnasium, Qiao Yingzi turned around and asked, "Hey, how was your exchange going? I forgot to ask you at noon."

"It's okay. My teacher at the Central Academy of Drama said it's hard to get into the directing department and suggested I apply for the acting department. She also asked for my contact information and told me I could ask her if I had any questions." Chen Jinnian said as he stretched lazily. After a day of classes, his body was stiff.

Qiao Yingzi frowned after hearing this. The other party's words, spoken in a lazy tone, were hard to believe. Then she turned around and asked, "Wang Yidi, is what he said true? Why do I feel like he's bragging?"

"Wang Yidi."

"Wang Yidi."

Qiao Yingzi shouted several times before waking up Wang Yidi, who was looking at Chen Jinnian with his head tilted.

"What are you looking at? How can you be distracted here?"

"Oh, Chen Hao, a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama, said that he looks very much like Yu Bo. I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I've been reminded of it, I think he looks a bit like Yu Bo." Wang Yidi said with a little shyness.

She was lost in thought just now.

"Yu Bo." Qiao Yingzi's brows furrowed even deeper as she searched hard for this unfamiliar name in her mind. After a moment, she said in surprise, "I remember now. Is it 'Water Moon Cave Heaven'? I read it when I was in elementary school."

She circled around Chen Jinnian non-stop, "Wang Yidi, you know what, they do look a bit alike, but the difference in temperament is huge. She makes people feel at ease just by looking at her, but he makes people fickle just by looking at him."

"Yingzi, if you don't know how to speak, you don't have to keep silent." Chen Jinnian looked over with an unfriendly expression.

What do you mean by "it makes people fickle just by looking at it"? Who did you learn these messed up adjectives from?

"Hehe, I think if I want to be an actor, I have to be especially popular with those young aunts in their thirties. I have to be pure, sexy and a little bit ruffian." Qiao Yingzi's eyes rolled around. You don't have to listen to what she said, but you can tell from her expression that it's not a good thing.

However, Chen Jinnian hadn't seen him so relaxed in a while, so he asked, "You're in such a good mood, you even have the energy to choreograph me. Did you get the winter camp thing done?"

"I guess so. My dad has already called the homeroom teacher, but..." She dragged out the words and shook her head, "He still said he wanted to have dinner with me tonight and talk about this matter."

"Is it too late to have dinner with you today? After we finish this counseling session, you won't have time to go."

All the students in the senior year were standing here, waiting for the event to begin.

"Just ask for leave. I don't know how my dad talked to my mom about it, but she didn't object anyway." Qiao Yingzi replied.

"That's quite a coincidence. We've also taken leave." Chen Jinnian raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat frivolous tone, "Yidi sprained her ankle and took a leave of absence this week. I also took three days off. My dad just gave Li Meng..."

Before he could finish, Qiao Yingzi covered her face with her hands and interrupted him. "Chen Jinnian, I will not allow you to use this face to make such a mean expression in the future. You are not allowed to destroy the image of Brother Tong in my mind."

Wang Yidi couldn't help laughing when listening to Qiao Yingzi's serious words.

"Are you two done yet?" Chen Jinnian felt offended. He pushed Qiao Yingzi's hand aside. "What do you mean by look alike? That's called stereotypically handsome. I even said Yu Bo looked like Jiao Enjun."

When he said this, he was stunned. Yu Bo was from Shenyang, Liaoning, and Jiao Enjun's ancestral home was in Qingdao, Shandong. Because of the migration to Northeast China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, many people from Liaoning went there.

Probably not.

Uh uh uh, can’t think about it anymore.

Chen Jinnian got a chill.

"Hey~ hello~"

The speakers in the gym suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the room.

Everyone looked up at the same time and found that the head teachers of each class were already standing on the temporary podium. At the same time, there was a man in a suit and tie testing the microphone.

This is today's speaker, Professor Yang.

Under the death stare of their class teachers, the students quickly lined up in the designated areas, with their chests and heads held high.

After Professor Yang saw that everyone was ready, he began, "Classmates, today's activity is called 'Get to Know Yourself.' But before we begin, I'd like to invite everyone to play a psychology game. Shuffle the order of the classes. Everyone will find someone they know, form a circle of ten, and then loudly introduce themselves and their parents' names to the other members of their group."

Because the closed and empty indoor gymnasium will produce echoes, even though he is the only one speaking, his voice sounds like that of several people, and it seems crowded.

After the other party finally finished explaining the rules, Chen Jinnian was so confused that he couldn't help but complain, "Are you sure it's going to work? Those kids from divorced and single-parent families have finally healed their wounds, and now they're tearing it apart and showing it to everyone. How interesting is that?"

"He is a famous psychologist, so what he said must be correct," Wang Yidi replied.

"Well, doctors have the right to prescribe, but psychologists don't. How can they be considered doctors? At most, they are psychological counselors." Chen Jinnian shook his head. He didn't quite agree with this statement.

"Okay, stand up as required, the teacher is about to pass by." Huang Zhitao quickly touched him and asked him to stop talking.

As I just said, we should shuffle the order to find people we are familiar with, so many people go to find their classmates before they were divided into different classes.

The same was true for Chen Jinnian and his group. Together with Jiang Lin, Chen Hongyu, Zhang Yulan, and Ji Yangyang and Fang Yifan who came over, there were exactly ten people in total.

"How about this, I'll start first. If you don't want to say anything later, you can just skip it. You don't have to follow what Professor Sun just said."

Everyone nodded and agreed with his proposal.

"My name is Chen Jinnian, and I'm the son of Su Ying and Chen Ming."

"It's over." Wang Yidi beside him asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, do I have to report my parents' ID numbers?"

Wang Yidi rolled her eyes at him and began to introduce herself. "My name is Wang Yidi. My mother is Wang Qing. She used to work in a bank, but now she's helping me prepare for the exam full-time. My father is Wang Dazhu, and he's the CEO of a listed company."

"What? Did your grandfather name it so casually?" Chen Jinnian asked doubtfully, "Didn't you ask the master to calculate it carefully?"

"You must be joking. My grandfather is an old party member. How could he be so feudal and superstitious? He even invites a fortune teller." Wang Yidi said with a pout.

"Your father never thought of changing his name."

"Then my grandfather will have to break his legs."

Chen Jinnian suddenly felt a little sorry for his future father-in-law. If his name was Chen Dazhu, the first thing he would do was change it. Even if he was called Chen Dada, it would sound better than this and would also put him at a higher generation.

"Could it be that he was the one who gave you your name?"

"Yeah." Wang Yidi nodded blankly.

"It's pretty good. It started out really well."

After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked the old man for his leniency.
