Chapter 127
Chapter 127
"An Xu, what are you doing there?" It was the first time that Lin Hui's tone became this stern.
She knew that Youngest Son had a more outgoing personality and liked to be coquettish and lazy. But he was usually obedient and would never behave like today!
When Xue An Xu saw his family, he realized that he had done something wrong.
He walked over with his head lowered, pulled his mom's hand and cutely spoke, "Mom, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't have left without permission!"
Lin Hui shook off his hand and continued with a stern face: "Stand straight! You are already nine years old! Not a baby learning to speak. You should know how worried the family will be when you are gone!"
"Mom, I know I'm wrong. I dare not ever do it again!"
It was a first for Xue An Xu to experience his mom scolding him so harshly. He didn't dare to act like a spoiled child. If Elder Sister was here, she would speak for him. As for the others, their words were useless.
The little guy lowered his head. His eyes were red because he cried just now. It made him look even more pitiful.
The two female teachers at the back were so distressed that they felt that if this was their cub, they would definitely be reluctant to reprimand him a single word!
However, when people were educating their children, they still got the restraint to not go up and stop them.
Director Zhao heard their conversation and knew that this was the child's family. To sign a child, the consent of his family must be obtained.
Just now, he wanted to inquire. Unexpectedly, the other party came knocking. Wonderful!
Thinking of this, he stepped forward, "Hello, I'm Zhao Sheng, director of Haisheng Film Industry."
As he said that, he took out his work card and showed it to the other party. It could gain the trust of the other party.
Qiao Zhen Jun glanced at the card and said, "Hello, I'm Xue An Xu's dad. Did my child cause you trouble just now? If that's the case, I apologize on behalf of the child!"
Director Zhao quickly waved his hand and responded, "No, no, no. You have misunderstood. This child didn't cause us any trouble. On the contrary, I'm delighted to meet this child. Your child is a genius!"
Genius? ?
Hearing this word, Qiao Family were stunned.
If this word was used to describe Qiao An Jie, they wouldn't be so surprised. But Xue An Xu...
Qiao Zhen Jun coughed: "...What did this kid do? To make you praise him like this?"
Director Zhao said: "Acting! This kid is self-taught. His eyes and expressions are on point. What's more, he hid in a corner and watched everyone perform once or twice. He actually memorized the lines word for word. This child must have good grades in school, right?"
Qiao Family: "..."
No. Not good at all, thanks.
Among Qiao Family's children, An Ping had an average IQ. What's more, his focus wasn't on studying at all. So his grades were unsightly.
But Dong Lin and Xue An Xu were both smart but not focused on their studies. So their grades were average.
Hearing Director Zhao complimenting him at this time, everyone was shocked as well as finding it incredulous.
Usually at home, he always procrastinated when it was time to recite the text. He'll reluctantly recited it when he couldn't delay it. Unexpectedly, his interest and talent were in this area.
Seeing his family glance at him, Xue An Xu quickly puffed out his small chest with a proud look.
The elder twin brother was too smart and dazzling. In contrast, he seem to be stupid. Now he can finally let everyone know that he was also brilliant!
Director Zhao didn't know why Qiao Family had such a hesitant expression. Could it be that he said something wrong?
But he didn't pay to much attention to this issue. Instead, he went straight to the point: "Our company is planning to shoot a TV series. The protagonist of this TV series is an eight-nine years old child. In order to find a suitable young actor, I have gone to many places. Nothing satisfactory was found. But today, I finally found it! This person is your child, Xue An Xu!"
At this, Qiao Family was once again shocked!
Could it be that the director wanted to invite Xue An Xu to make a TV series?
Xue An Xu was going to become a child star?
This situation was something that Qiao Family never thought of!
"That's why, I want to ask, if I want to invite Xue An Xu to be the protagonist of this TV series, would you, the parents, agree or not?"
Director Zhao wasn't surprised by Qiao Family's stunned reaction. He had often seen reaction like their.
Xue An Xu's eyes lit up when he heard Director Zhao's words. His little face flushed with excitement.
However, he just made a mistake. He didn't dare to open his mouth at this moment. His eyes could only look pleadingly at his parents.
Qiao Zhen Jun and Lin Hui looked at each other.
Being an actor may seem like great honor, but it may not be a good thing for children.
It wasn't just about the child doing the filming for a long time every day. After the TV series is broadcast, fame will immediately come. The child was still so young, can he face it with steady mind?
When Xue An Xu saw that his parents didn't speak, his cheeks flushed even more in angst: "Mom!"
Lin Hui's heart was too soft. Seeing the child like this, she can't be stern anymore: "Okay. You are allowed to speak. However, you aren't allowed to make your family worry in the future, understand?"
Xue An Xu nodded, "I understand. I promise I won't do it again! Mom, Dad, I want to act. I want to be a big star!"
Qiao Zhen Jun was a little hesitant just now. But when he heard the child's words, his face suddenly fell: "So vain at such young age, where did you learn this?"
Xue An Xu froze from the scolding. Once he regained his senses, he felt wronged and angry: "I'm not. I'm not being vain!"
He want to be a big star because he like to imitate these things. Why was An Jie a good boy for studying, while he was vain for love for acting?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. His golden bean tears fell: "I don't like you anymore. You are a bad dad. You only praise An Jie! Since you like An Jie so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place? Should have just birthed An Jie alone!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around crying and ran out.
Qiao Zhen Jun was stunned.
He didn't mean that. He didn't think he was worse than An Jie!
Just now he heard that he wanted to be a big star and feared that he was too young to resist the temptation. So his words were a little more heavy!
Lin Hui felt distressed for the child and rushed chased after: "Xu Xu, don't run so fast. Be careful of falling!"
Qiao An Jie and Xue An Xu were twins. When his younger brother cried, his heart broke.
He looked up at his dad and stated, "Dad, An Xu is a good younger brother. You shouldn't say that to him. If you do this again the future, I won't like you either!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Qiao Zhen Jun: "..."
Director Zhao was shocked. He didn't expect things would suddenly turn out like this.
He looked at Qiao Zhen Jun with condemning eyes, "It's a good thing to educate your child, but you must also take into account of the child's self-esteem. You can't casually slander him. You aren't a qualified father. You should reflect on yourself!"
This was a very serious statement. It made Qiao Zhen Jun's already guilty heart even more knotted.
He nodded and responded, "You are right. I'm not a qualified and good dad!"
When Da Qiao was a child, he failed to protect her. Now he had made the twins sad. He really should reflect.
After he finished speaking, he quickly followed.
Just as Xue An Xu ran out of the door, he slammed into Da Qiao's body.
When he disappeared, Da Qiao went to tell the security guard; if he saw a child going out, he must stop him. Later, when they found Xue An Xu, she didn't go in immediately. Instead, she turned back and told the security guard.
She didn't expect that she only walked away for a bit and find her little brother crying on return: "My good Xu Xu, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell Elder Sister. Elder Sister will beat him!"
Qiao Zhen Jun, who was chasing after him, shuddered when he heard this.
Eldest Daughter's strength was only slightly below than his mom's. If a punch hit his body, it is estimated that he will die like a wild boar!
When Xue An Xu saw his elder sister, his feelings burst like a dam. He hugged her thigh and said, "Elder Sister, Dad, he said I'm vain. He is a bad dad. I don't want him anymore. I'll follow you in the future, okay?"
He decided that he wasn't going to go to school. He'll stay in the capital with his elder sister.
If Elder Sister gets married in the future, he will marry into the family with her. Buy one get one free and let the other party marry him too!
If Huo Chi could hear what he was saying at this time, he would probably be speechless.
He doesn't need or want this kind of buy one get one free, thank you!
Seeing her younger brother cry so aggrieved, Da Qiao didn't bother to ask the reason and hurriedly hugged him to comfort him.
After calming him down with much difficulty, she had the opportunity to ask what happened.
After hearing what happened, her watery eyes immediately pinned on her dad.
Qiao Zhen Jun shivered again and stumbled: "I... I didn't mean to scold Xu Xu just now. I was just afraid that he would go down the wrong way."
Da Qiao spoke with a sullen face: "Dad, Xu Xu is only nine years old this year. He may not really understand what vanity is. If you are worried that he would go down the wrong way, you can properly explain to him. Not slandering and scolding him right away!"
When Xue An Xu heard this, he nodded his head as he hiccupped; indicating that his elder sister was right.
Although Qiao An Jie didn't say anything, he looked at his dad with disapproval.
Although Lin Hui didn't condemn him, her love can't help at this time. Even she was afraid when her daughter steel up.
With so many eyes on him, Qiao Zhen Jun's cold sweat was about to come out: "You are right. Dad is too anxious. I shouldn't speak to Xu Xu like that."
Da Qiao nodded: "Know your mistake and correct it. Then Dad should apologize to Xu Xu now."
Qiao Zhen Jun blushed and hesitated for a bit. He walked to Xue An Xu and squatted down, "Xu Xu, Dad had wrongly blamed you. Dad was too worried that you would become crooked. Dad now knows it's wrong. Can you forgive Dad this time?"
Xue An Xu puffed up his cheeks and thought for a while before replying, "Looking upon Elder Sister's face, I'll forgive you this time. If there's next time, I'll get your father, that is, my grandfather, to spank you! "
Qiao Zhen Jun: "..."
Other people who followed were so shocked until their eyes and jaws dropped when they saw this scene.
What was going on?
Children lecturing the father?
As a father, he was a bit too blunt. It was for the sake of the child though!
On the contrary, the child cried at every turn. Now this girl was criticizing her father instead. Wasn't this a mess?
In this culture, parents must maintain a superior attitude. Even if they did something wrong and blame their children wrongly, they didn't need to apologize to their children. It seem that once they apologize, they will lose their dignity as parents.
But this won't happen in Qiao Family. Because Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan set a good example for their children.
In the process of raising the children, they had wrongly blame the children. However, they would apologize to the children and never considered it a shameful thing!
Therefore, Qiao Zhen Jun didn't resist despite feeling a little embarrassed at this moment. Nor did he feel that Da Qiao was overstepping her boundary as a younger generation.
Director Zhao stepped out. When he saw Da Qiao, his eyes widened at once.
The girl had waterfall-like black hair, glowing fair skin, and tall, slender physique. A natural clothes hanger. Even wearing an ordinary white dress can make her look like a fairy.
His eyes were shining brightly. Moving his legs, he quickly strode over, "An Xu, is this your elder sister?"
Xue An Xu was fond of Director Zhao and politely introduced: "This is my elder sister. The most beautiful, smart, best, and most brilliant elder sister in the world! Elder Sister, this is Director Zhao."
Director Zhao: "..."
Wasn't there too much difference between the two introduction?
Forget it. He was an adult and stoop down to the children's level: "An Xu's Elder Sister, I am the director of a film industry company. I think your younger brother is very talented in acting. So, are you interested in becoming an actor?"
Xue An Xu: ? ? ?
Everyone else: ? ? ?
Director Zhao? Praise Xue An Xu for his talent first and then invite his elder sister to be an actor later? What was the link between the two?
Da Qiao paused for a moment. Pursing her lips, she shook her head: "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in being an actor. However, my youngest brother is very interested. You can consider him."
Hearing this, Director Zhao remarked with great pity, "No need to consider about your younger brother. He is very suitable. However, you are more suitable. You really won't think about it?"
With this face and body, no matter how bad her acting skills were, it was estimated that the audience can tolerate it.
Da Qiao shook her head again: "Thank you, but I really don't plan to."
Director Zhao wasn't someone who would to force someone. Although it was a pity, he still accept it: "But...if you change your mind one day, please come to our company to find me. I will arrange a female lead for you!"
Da Qiao: "...Thank you."
Next, Director Zhao and Qiao Family formally discussed about letting Xue An Zu participate in the series.
Qiao Zhen Jun said that he would go back to discuss with his parents. Director Zhao expressed he understood.
But seeing this, his impression of Qiao Family was even better.
Normally, when parents hear that their children can be child stars, they can't wait to agree. While they really cared about their children.
Just as Director Zhao was about to leave, little Dong Yun walked up and suggested herself: "Hello Director Zhao, I'm also Xue An Xu's elder sister. My name is Qiao Dong Yun. I sing very well. Do you need me to for your TV series' theme song? I can make it cheaper for you!"
Xue An Xu helped to recommend: "Director Zhao, she, I, and An Jie are triplets. My elder sister's singing is very pleasant. Would you like to hear her sing a song for you?"
Director Zhao: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
Triplets??
Do you think everyone is blind?
However, Director Zhao wasn't rendered speechless by the word 'triplets'. He felt that Qiao Family was a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
The twins and Da Qiao were good-looking. Even though the little ugly girl in front of him was ugly, her eyes were very charming.
More importantly, she was able to recommend herself at such a young age without being timid. This courage wasn't of ordinary children!
What's even more amazing was that she hadn't forgotten about getting paid!
Director Zhao jollily laughed: "Okay, then you can sing me something you are good at."
Little Dong Yun nodded, walked to one side, and opened her mouth to sing: "What a beautiful jasmine flower, fragrant and beautiful, it fill of branch. It's sweet-smelling and white. Everyone praises it..."
As soon as her voice came out, Director Zhao and the people he brought were stunned.
Just now when they heard little ugly girl recommending herself, they thought she was a brave child. How could a child who could join the choir sing badly? Still, the sound of her voice completely exceeded their expectations!
None of the people present made a sound; they quietly listened until she finished.
After singing, she also bent her knees and bowed to everyone: "Thank you everyone!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Director Zhao took the lead in applauding: "Wonderful, wonderful! Your voice is sweet and distinguishing. Brilliant!"
Little Dong Yun's eyes were bright: "Then Director Zhao agreed to let me sing the theme song?"
Director Zhao spoke: "I can't make the final decision on this. We have to go back and discuss it with the boss. But even if it doesn't work this time, you will have a lot of opportunities in the future with your talent. Don't be discouraged and work hard, understand?"
Little Dong Yun loudly replied, "I understand. Thank you Director Zhao!"
On the way back, Qiao Zhen Jun and Lin Hui were both in a trance.
They only came to see little Dong Yun. How did it end up with their youngest son becoming an actor and little Dong Yun might record a song?
Back at home, Qiao Zhen Jun told his parents about this.
After Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan asked about Xue An Xu's wishes, they expressed they could let him try it.
"However, An Xu, you have to make sure that your studies won't drop. If you fail the exam or repeat your grades in the future, then you will come back to study and go into acting after graduation. Can you promise this?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at the little grandson who was the only one with her husband's surname.
Xue An Xu nodded his head: "I can. I promise I will study hard. Grandmother, Grandfather, please let me go into acting. I super duper like acting!"
In order to express his love, he said super duper.
Qiao Xiu Zhi reached out and rubbed his head: "You are a man. I believe you will keep your promise. Go for it then!"
"Long live! Long live Grandmother! Long live Grandfather! Long live Elder Sister! Long live Elder Brother! Long live Mom!"
When Xue An Xu heard his grandmother's words, he went crazy with joy and ran around the house cheering.
Qiao Zhen Jun: ???
Long live everyone! Why was he the only one left out???
Next, Qiao Family gave Director Zhao their response.
Director Zhao was overjoyed and told them to go to the film industry company next week to meet the boss. If it was appropriate, they would arrange a contract on the spot.
And there was news on Qin Dong's side. Huo Family took action and had him transferred to a small remote county in another province.
Of course, in order to make Qin Dong willing to go instead of resigning, his position was increased by two levels. His salary was also increased by two hundred yuan.
Qin Dong froze to the spot when he received the news of the transfer.
He hadn't even heard of the place the director told him. And after asking for clarification, his heart instantly felt cold.
However, before he could resign, the director threw out the temptation of promotion and salary increase. Qin Dong became entangled on the spot.
He said he would go back and discuss it with his wife.
Before Qin Dong could mention it to his wife when he got home, the two started fighting again because of a trivial matter. In the end, Qin Dong's face was scratched.
Qin Dong was furious and angry. He beat his wife right there and then. Afterward, he made up his mind to leave the capital.
He really wanted to get a divorce, but his wife held the evidence of his corruption in her hand. If he dared to divorce, she would dare to report the evidence. So he had to act while minimizing side-effects.
The next day he returned to the office. Withstanding the gossipy eyes of his colleagues, he hurriedly ran to tell the director that he agreed to the transfer.
The director patted him on the shoulder: told him do it well and the position under his butt was his when he got back in the future.
Qin Dong didn't expect such a big pie to fall from the sky at all. His cheeks flushed with joy. He repeatedly nodded to assure the other party that he would do well.
After he went out, the director called Huo Family; saying the matter had been settled. Qin Dong wouldn't come back to the capital for a short time.
With a turn of a head, Huo Hua Qing told Qiao Zhen Jun what happened.
Qiao Zhen Jun breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Elder Huo again.
Huo Hua Qing uttered the same old phrase: "We will be family sooner or later. You don't have to be so polite."
When Qiao Zhen Jun heard this for the second time, he paused before speaking, "Elder Huo, the family you meant is... about wanting to recognize Da Qiao as your god-granddaughter, right?"
Huo Hua Qing froze for a moment and responded, "Of course not! Didn't Da Qiao tell you? She and Chi-er are dating each other. Sooner or later, they will get married. By then, won't we be family!"
Qiao Zhen Jun's eyes widened: "What???"
