A great director who grew up happily

"What, the phone is broken." Huang Zhitao shouted in surprise. In an instant, the eyes of the three people were all on Chen Jinnian. What they were most worried about was data loss.

"No, no, I'm not talking about the phone, I'm talking about something else."

Chen Jinnian explained a few words and then quickly called his father. He had asked Chen Ming to go home for dinner in the morning, but now he had completely forgotten about it.

When Chen Ming received the call, he did the same thing, slapping his thigh in frustration, "Oh no, I forgot!"

Qiao Weidong and Fang Yuan, who were sitting opposite and eating, were also startled.

"What's wrong? Why are you so jumpy?" Qiao Weidong asked.

"Don't talk, don't talk, it's my son calling." Chen Ming waved his hands quickly. He was mentally prepared and had thought of the words to explain before answering the call.

But before he could open his mouth, Chen Jinnian said, "Dad, my mom went to the store and might not be back for a while. You can eat something at home and don't have to wait for us."

Hearing this, Chen Ming was overjoyed and quickly retracted the words on the tip of his tongue. He pretended to be still at home and said, "Oh, why haven't you come back yet? It's okay, son, where are you eating? Do you need me to transfer some money to you?"

"No, my mom gave it to me this morning. Just keep your little piggy bank for yourself. I'm having dinner with some classmates outside and will be back after we finish eating."

"Yeah, don't be in a hurry, just eat slowly." Chen Ming quickly instructed.

"Dad, I see."

After the conversation, he hung up the phone.

Chen Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling lucky that he had escaped a disaster. He said to the two of them, "Eat quickly. I want to go home after I finish eating."

"Hey, I asked you out to help me analyze the situation, not to have a free meal. If you don't help me figure it out tonight, neither of you can leave." Qiao Weidong knocked on the plate and said dissatisfiedly.

"Old Chen, have you seen this man's face? He is so unreasonable." Fang Yuan complained happily from the side.

"What are you worried about? If you have a child, then just get married and have the baby. It's not like you can't afford to raise the child." Chen Ming didn't understand. What was there to be worried about? Xiao Meng was not a mistress. If she was pregnant, then she was pregnant.

"Yeah." Fang Yuan also agreed. "The three biggest joys for a middle-aged man are promotion, wealth, and a wife who's dead. You've already got two of them. Look, the big boss of the investment company is financially independent, divorced Song Qian, and found someone younger and prettier. What else are you dissatisfied with? You won't be happy until you become the district chief of Old Ji."

"Go away." Qiao Weidong sat out in disgust. "You two are not done. You keep making fun of me. I tell you, if you keep going like this, I will lose my temper."

Fang Yuan put his hand on Qiao Weidong's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's all a joke. But having a child is indeed a good thing. Look at Old Chen, he's been beaming lately."

Qiao Weidong said irritably, "How can this be compared? Your family is all boys, and mine is all girls. The relationship between a father and his daughter is different. Am I not betraying Yingzi?"

"Alright, alright, stop using Yingzi as an excuse. If you cared about Yingzi's feelings, why did you insist on getting a divorce?" Chen Ming spoke directly, exposing Qiao Weidong's lies, which were only meant to deceive Fang Yuan.

He continued, "Back then, Yingzi was only ten years old. She cried like a tearful child in our house. I felt so distressed just standing there. Which of you two cared about her? Now Yingzi has grown up and turned eighteen, and you're so excited again. What did you do before?"

Having said that, Chen Ming glared at Qiao Weidong fiercely, swallowed back the curse he wanted to say, and lowered his head to eat angrily.

Fang Yuan also knew the situation at the time. Although Qiao Weidong was set up, the final divorce between the two was also related to Qiao Weidong's refusal to explain.

In the final analysis, after Qiao Weidong became rich, his originally calm mind became restless. The outside world was too beautiful, and he wanted to change the way he lived.

The three of them fell into silence and didn't speak for a long time.

Finally, it was Fang Yuan who broke the deadlock and said, "Don't make us analyze whether you are really pregnant or whether the baby in your belly is yours. Just assume that it is all true and the child is yours. Then tell me what you plan to do."

"Get rid of it." Qiao Weidong said solemnly.

"What? You're such a piece of shit." Fang Yuan said in surprise, then he started to speak incoherently, "No, Old Qiao, that's what I was thinking. No, that's what you were thinking. I have money and time, and I don't have to give birth to a child, but you don't want any of that."

He picked up the cup and took a few sips of water to moisten his throat, then said, "Old Qiao, I only knew you were a scumbag before, but I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag."

When Qiao Weidong heard Fang Yuan say this to him, he still shook his head and said, "When Yingzi gets married and has children, I will want her. Anyway, I can't have her now."

Chen Ming was so angry at Qiao Weidong that he laughed. "You don't know how old you are. If you don't want this child, just say so. Don't use Yingzi as a shield."

Fang Yuan also pointed at his nose and said, "I really regret not using my phone to record your words just now, so that Yingzi can see how shameless her father is."

Because of Qiao Weidong's paranoia, the three of them had to part ways unhappily in the end.

Even Chen Ming, who hardly spoke in the second half, began to think about withdrawing from the investment company.

He does not hold many shares in this investment company, only 27.5%. When they first formed a partnership to start the company, they did not expect it to develop so well. At that time, they just wanted to get a share of the market and make the money in their hands more valuable.

Now that he has earned enough money and his son is more capable than him, he doesn't have to worry about him anymore.

So he wanted to take advantage of the time he still had the energy to check on his son's new company and give his son some support, and then he would retire completely.

As for Chen Jinnian and his three companions, they were enjoying their meal very much. They only ended their dinner tonight when their mothers called to ask about it.

When she left, Wang Yidi kept beating Chen Jinnian, blaming him for bringing her to this place. Today's meal would make her lose weight for many days.

But Chen Jinnian knew that she didn't eat much, even half as much as Huang Zhitao, who was also a girl.

Only after Wang Yidi promised to bring a box of homemade fruit every day next week did she let him go with a pout.

This gave him the illusion that he was being tricked by someone like Wang Yidi, who was simple-minded, but he was also a little uncertain.

On Monday, Chen Jinnian arrived early, which was rare.

First, he handed the "protection fee" to Wang Yidi, and then returned two mobile phones and a USB flash drive to Lin Lei'er.

"The data in the phone has been transferred. I also made a backup for you and put it on a USB drive. As for the old phone, it really wasn't worth repairing, so I didn't fix it. I just glued it in place."

After hearing this, Lin Lei'er was so happy that she was a little overwhelmed. She hugged Chen Jinnian and shed tears of excitement. She kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, wuwuwu, thank you."

If a girl thanked him like this, Chen Jinnian would be very happy, but if it was a boy, he would feel awkward.

So he pushed Lin Lei'er out with a look of disgust.

Lin Lei'er hugged his neck tightly.

"Cough cough."

Li Meng walked in and looked at them with a strange expression.

"Well, although our school advocates keeping distance between opposite sexes, it doesn't mean that same-sex people can get too close. We still need to be careful about the consequences."

After hearing this, Chen Jinnian pushed Lin Lei'er aside with force, thinking to himself.

It's over, I'm not clean again.

No, why is it “又”?
