A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 156 An Unconventional Invitation

"Hey, Jinnian, this won't do. Didn't the teacher just say that we must take this activity seriously?" Song Qian, who was sitting next to Qiao Yingzi, reminded.

Qiao Weidong stood by and nodded, echoing.

However, Wang Qing had some ideas. The corridor was now crowded with students and parents, but there were not enough seats, causing many parents and students to stand and wait.

She also didn't expect that this family activity would be so boring and sloppily arranged. She was originally quite enthusiastic about it.

"I think we can talk at home. It's a waste of time here. What do you think, Didi?" Wang Qing asked her daughter's opinion in a low voice.

On the one hand, it was a waste of time. On the other hand, Wang Qing was worried about her daughter's ankle. Wang Yidi was not fully recovered yet, and neither of them had managed to get a seat. They were worried that something might go wrong if they stood for so long.

"Ah, Mom, I'll listen to you." Wang Yidi had just finished speaking when she turned around and saw that Chen Jinnian and his family seemed to be leaving. She hurriedly said, "Let's go too."

Su Ying and Chen Ming actually didn't want to stay. They arrived late and were arranged to be the last ones. It was already past three in the afternoon. If they waited here, they might not get a turn until dark.

"Old Chen, are you really planning to leave?" Qiao Weidong asked.

"Well, isn't it the child who wants to leave?" Chen Ming pushed Chen Jinnian out as a shield and explained, "Besides, we also participated in the training just now. It's nothing more than allowing parents and children to communicate openly. We are always communicating at home, and we don't need these few minutes at school."

After Chen Jinnian's family and Wang Yidi's family left, Qiao Weidong turned to look at Song Qian and said, "Why don't we go home and talk too."

"Go home? Oh, Qiao Weidong, have you forgotten that we divorced a long time ago? Do you want to go back to your home or mine? I tell you, you are not welcome in my home. As for going to your home, I don't agree with you raising a vixen and bringing the child back."

Song Qian's tone was quite disdainful, and she sneered at Qiao Weidong.

Qiao Weidong didn't dare to mention breaking up with Xiao Meng. After all, Song Qian knew that Xiao Meng was pregnant, and what he did was indeed very despicable and there was no way to wash it off.

"So many parents are here, can you please give me some face?"

"Oh, you still have some shame? How come I didn't realize it? If you have shame, why do you always do shameless things?" Song Qian's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, attracting many people's attention.

"That's enough, Dad, Mom, can you two be quiet for a moment."

Qiao Yingzi said very irritably that in her memory, Song Qian and Qiao Weidong had always quarreled. They quarreled every day before their divorce, and now that they are divorced, they still quarrel every time they meet.

She couldn't understand why they were still together and why they gave birth to her if they both hated and looked down on each other so much.

Seeing their daughter's expression, both of them were smart enough to shut their mouths and turned their heads away, not wanting to see each other in their sight.

Chen Jinnian and the others who left were completely different from the low pressure in the corridor.

Outside, heavy snow was falling, and soon the cleared road surface was covered with a layer of white gauze.

Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi walked in front, side by side, chatting in low voices, as if they had something to say.

The three parents walked behind, looking at the two little ones and talking.

"Honey, it's snowing so heavily. Please be careful when you drive away later." Wang Qing reminded enthusiastically.

"Old Chen and I are not planning to leave. Jinnian has to attend training classes on the weekend, and it's too dangerous to run back and forth in the heavy snow. We have nothing to do, so we can come over and stay for two days and cook for the child." Su Ying explained with a smile.

She and Chen Ming arrived late this afternoon, not because of traffic jam. In fact, they arrived just after noon. They were late because they wasted some time moving luggage and tidying up the bedroom.

"Really? That's great. By the way, it's still early. Why don't you go to my place and make dumplings? I've prepared everything."

"Okay." Su Ying's eyes lit up and she agreed immediately.

People of their age have no resistance to making dumplings, otherwise they would make dumplings every year during the Spring Festival Gala and have a large audience.

After Su Ying returned to the community, she didn't even go home, but went upstairs arm in arm with Wang Qing.

Wang Yidi and Chen Jinnian went to the third floor to do their homework, and asked the other party to explain the questions to her.

Only Chen Ming found himself a little redundant. If he went upstairs, his poor skills would definitely be disliked, and if he stayed at home, he would be suspected of being a light bulb.

Before he could decide where to go, he heard Chen Jinnian's voice from the bedroom.

"Dad, what is this box?"

Chen Ming quickly sat over and saw Chen Jinnian looking through the folder in his hand with a strange expression on his face. There was also a brown paper file box on the bed with neatly stacked documents inside.

"Oh, you are talking about this thing. These are all your invitations. I brought them here when I came. Some were sent directly to the company, and some were electronic versions that I asked someone to print out." Chen Ming explained.

Ever since his son's company was officially established, he started receiving these things one after another, so much so that he even specially assigned someone from his own company to help sort them out.

"For me?" Chen Jinnian said in surprise. He threw the folder in his hand on the bed, then took out another one from the box, took a look at it and threw it on the bed again. He repeated this action and finished reading seven or eight of them in a short while.

Wang Yidi looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was doing.

"Uh..., this bunch of stuff, Dad, I don't remember me saying anything about taking on external roles."

"It's true they didn't say that, but your agency contract is kept at the company. Maybe they think your company is used for external purposes." Chen Ming said.

"Okay, but what are these? They all seem like offers for online movies. This one's for the male lead, and this one's also for the male lead, um, a script offer, and this one, an offer to be the director, male lead, and cameraman. What the hell is all this? Just give me the investor too."

Chen Jinnian kept looking at it in his hands, frowning and complaining that the salaries offered by these invitations were not high, ranging from 5 to 80.

These people must have handed him notebooks after seeing him making huge profits, hoping to have a try too.

But Chen Jinnian had no interest in these online movies that were sure to fail just by hearing the name. He had been searching for them for so long but hadn't seen a single one that he remembered.

"I don't understand these things either, son. Just take your time to look through them. Most of them are invitations from online movies, but there are also a few from variety shows and TV dramas. They are clearly marked on the folders." Chen Ming reminded.

Wang Yidi walked over and helped to tidy up the folders thrown on the bed. He opened one at random to see what was written on it.

It would have been fine if she hadn't watched it. When the words "xXx: Return of Xander Cage" came into her eyes, her first reaction was that it was a bad movie. However, Wang Yidi resisted the urge to throw it away and scrolled down to see the plot of the movie.

But after flipping through a few pages, I realized that there was no plot introduction at all, only a short paragraph about the male protagonist's character setting, and the rest were all photos of the female protagonist, who was dressed very generously, twisting her hips and posing coquettishly.

With a swish, Wang Yidi closed the folder. Now she understood why Chen Jinnian looked at her with a strange expression.

It turns out that acting appointments can be made this way.

Bah, so shameless.
