Two middle-aged men started bragging to each other, engaging in mutual flattery!
"Mr. Fang, it's your turn to film. Shall we wait a bit, or should we start now?"
"Huh?" Fang Yuan was suddenly called out by the production assistant on the sidelines; otherwise, he would have forgotten that he was on the film set.
He covered the phone and said to him, "Get ready now, I'll start filming right now!"
After speaking, he picked up his phone again and asked Qiao Weidong on the other end of the line.
"Old Joe, what's up with that call? It's not just about the wedding gift money, is it?"
"If that's the case, I'll start filming now, and I'll come find you at noon!"
Qiao Weidong was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about the important matter!
Then, glancing back at Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi, he turned back with a smile and asked Fang Yuan:
"Um... well, I was planning to ask you something!"
"Oh!" Fang Yuan understood immediately, then patted his chest heartily: "Alright, tell me, what is it...?"
It was only at this moment that Qiao Weidong told the whole story!
"I heard that Fanfan isn't planning to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, but is planning to go to Nanjing University?"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He had made a lot of guesses, but he didn't expect Qiao Weidong to bring this up.
But how did this guy know about the properties? I'm full of questions!
"Yes, that's how it is. By the way, how did you know?"
Qiao Weidong received an affirmative answer, and a stiff smile immediately appeared on his face.
It went dark instantly, and a terrible thought arose in my mind.
Why does my daughter, who is so well-behaved, suddenly want to go to Nanjing? Could astronomy be just an excuse?
Actually, it was all because of that brat Fang Yifan that Yingzi decided to go to Nanjing.
Having figured this out, he sneered at Fang Yuan and said, "Heh, it's nothing. I just ran into Fanfan and chatted with him for a bit."
"Oh, by the way, I'll be waiting for you downstairs on the second floor of the building around noon!"
Fang Yuan frowned, somewhat puzzled. He felt that Qiao Weidong was a strange guy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Finally, I shook my head and thought, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Then he turned and ran towards the film set, clapping his hands!
"Alright everyone, let's finish filming these last few scenes and then we can call it a day!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Long live President Fang!"
Because of the script, we usually shoot dozens of takes at a time, so this time we only shot five or six takes before wrapping up, which is definitely a good thing!
Qiao Weidong hung up the phone, a cold smile playing on his lips. He planned to have lunch with Fang Yuan at noon and show him what he was made of.
What does it mean that a father should pay for his son's debts?

Qiao Weidong turned his head and gave Fang Yifan a cold look, then a smile reappeared on his face.
He sat down in front of the two people, acting as if nothing had happened.
Fang Yifan's eyes darted around, then he blinked his glasses, looking completely innocent!
"Uncle Dong, did you ask about my dad?"
Qiao Weidong looked at Fang Yifan and felt that this brat was mocking him.
However, he ultimately held back, nodded, and then said to Fang Yifan:
"Yes, that's right, you're planning to go to Nanjing!"
Fang Yifan smiled. If he wasn't confident, why would he have taken the initiative to talk to Qiao Weidong?
As soon as Qiao Weidong finished speaking, Qiao Yingzi's eyes lit up, and she seized the opportunity!
"Dad, you've seen it now, Fang Yifan's grades are better than mine, and he's gone to Nanjing too. You shouldn't stop me now, right?"
After she finished speaking, she pouted, blinked her eyes, and acted coquettishly towards Qiao Weidong.
Looking at his adorable daughter and hearing her words, Qiao Weidong's hatred for Fang Yifan intensified.
But now is not the time to deal with this brat. We'll talk about it after we meet Fang Yuan at noon.
The most urgent task now is to dissuade my daughter from her idea.
“Yingzi, it’s not that Dad is unwilling, but Fanfan is a boy, unlike you. He doesn’t need to be on guard for safety or other aspects.”
"However, girls are more prone to accidents if they're not careful!"
After hearing this, Qiao Yingzi fell silent for a moment. She wasn't one of those people who just threw punches all day without thinking.
I know this is true, but I can't give up my dream because of it.
Moreover, parents can't be with you forever and protect you from all harm; these are all inevitable parts of life.
Fang Yifan coughed, knowing that it was time for him to take action.
Although he noticed that Qiao Weidong's gaze was a little strange, he had to grit his teeth and persevere for Yingzi's sake!
“Uncle Dong, all of what you’re saying can be avoided, and Yingzi will experience these things in the capital anyway.”
"You weren't there for her when she was sick in Nanjing, but I'm here, and I can help her!"
"We grew up together and have been friends for so many years. Now that we're out in the world, we'll definitely need to help each other out!"
Standing behind Fang Yifan, Qiao Yingzi felt a strong sense of security looking at his tall figure.
Suddenly, a relieved smile appeared on his lips. Youth is about having someone to laugh with, cry with, and be crazy with.
Qiao Weidong was speechless after hearing Fang Yifan's words and didn't know how to refute them.
But he couldn't bear to let his daughter leave him and go to such a faraway place.
Although I could act shamelessly, the problem is that this is in front of my daughter, and it's to stop her.
What will my daughter think of me in the future? I hardly took good care of her when she was little.
Therefore, he felt a sense of guilt towards Yingzi.
Qiao Yingzi glanced at Fang Yifan beside her, then walked up to him.
Looking at his father, he said to him seriously:
"Dad, in all my years, no matter what it is, from learning the violin as a child to studying arts and sciences, and my hobbies!"
"It seems like everything has been planned out. I feel like a character in a game, just following a fixed program."
"I'm not an independent person; I feel like a puppet!"
"Dad, can I choose for myself this time?"
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, and his bloodshot eyes seemed like a bloodstained knife piercing Qiao Weidong's heart.
His hands trembled slightly. He hadn't realized that what he and Song Qian had arranged for Yingzi was never what she wanted.
They've always imposed everything on you under the guise of doing it for your own good, and if you disagree, you're labeled unfilial, immature, or naughty!
It seems like every negative word can be added to make you feel suffocated!
Seeing the tears on Qiao Yingzi's face, Qiao Weidong's previously firm resolve seemed to slowly begin to waver.
Why do Song Qian and I keep pushing our child to achieve better grades, as long as he doesn't break the law or morality?
When you have the ability to take responsibility for your own life, perhaps it's time to let go!
Seeing his daughter's distressed state, Qiao Weidong finally gave in!
He gritted his teeth, then held out his hand to Qiao Yingzi and said, "Okay, give it to me, I'll sign it!"
"What?" Qiao Yingzi was stunned for a moment and didn't react. She had already given up just now.
Regardless of everything else, she just wanted to say what was on her mind and didn't want to play the role of someone she didn't want to be anymore.
Fang Yifan immediately understood that Qiao Weidong, this doting father, had clearly admitted defeat.
He quickly turned around, took the pen and registration form from the table, and handed them to Qiao Weidong.
"Uncle, I'm here!"
After listening, Qiao Weidong gave Fang Yifan a deep look, said nothing, took the document, and wrote his name on it in a flourish.
Qiao Yingzi stopped crying and looked at her father in disbelief, never expecting that he would actually agree!
My dream seemed to have come true at that moment, and I jumped up excitedly.
She hugged Qiao Weidong and shouted to him, "Thank you, Dad, I love you!"
Looking at his daughter's happy smile, Qiao Weidong suddenly felt that everything he had done was worthwhile!
Then he patted her head and said deliberately, "What? You won't love your dad anymore if I don't sign?"
"Hehe!" Qiao Yingzi chuckled shyly, then sniffed and said, "I like it too, but it's a tiny bit worse than an autograph!"
Qiao Weidong's lips twitched. His precious daughter was so realistic!
"Drip..."
Suddenly, the menu on the table beeped, indicating that it was time to pick up the food.
After reading it, Qiao Yingzi excitedly said to Qiao Weidong, "Dad, I'll go get you some food right now. You have to have a big meal later, so please pay attention!"
After saying that, she skipped and hopped towards the food counter!
Qiao Weidong was now on the verge of tears. Although signing the document was easy, he figured he'd be kneeling on durians when he got home!

Although he felt helpless, he had already promised Qiao Yingzi, and regretting it now would only make Yingzi hate him, and it would be of no use.
Soon Qiao Yingzi came over, carrying a meal of fried chicken and cola.
Then, she hopped and skipped on the table and glanced at her father and Fang Yifan.
