In a blink of an eye, the next day came. Yingzi went to Nanda University to officially participate in the winter camp, and Qiao Weidong went to the real estate agency to sign a contract.
When Qiao Weidong walked into the signing room at around 9:50, he saw a woman in her 30s wearing business attire already waiting.
Qiao Weidong put his hands together and apologized to everyone in the room:
"Sorry everyone, I'm late!"
The homeowner also said modestly:
"It's because I'm used to arriving early due to my professional relationship, and you're not late!"
The real estate salesperson on the side introduced the homeowner to Qiao Weidong:
"Mr. Qiao, this is Ms. Zhao, a designer!"
Qiao Weidong stretched out his hand and complimented:
"No wonder, the decoration of the house is not made by the Fan family!"
Ms. Zhao also gently shook Qiao Weidong's extended hand:
"You're too polite, Mr. Qiao!"
The real estate salesperson looked at the two and suggested:
"Mr. Qiao, Ms. Zhao, shall we sign the contract now?"
Qiao Weidong nodded:
"Can!"
Ms. Zhao agreed.
Then the salesperson took the contract and handed it to the two of them. Qiao Weidong took it and looked at it carefully, and finally signed it after confirming that there was no problem.
The moment he saw the two of them put pen to paper, the salesman on the side felt relieved, and he pocketed the commission. In all his years of selling, he had rarely encountered such a happy buyer. He inspected the house yesterday and signed the contract today. It's not that there are none, just very few.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Yingzi's trip to the Nanda Winter Camp came to an end.
Qiao Weidong sat in the car and watched Yingzi say goodbye to the friend he just met.
Qiao Weidong rented a gl8 these days for convenience, opened the car window and said to his daughter:
"Eiko, ask your friends if they need daddy to send them off!"
After all, they had just met and they were too embarrassed to refuse. In the end, Yingzi said goodbye to everyone and got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.
As soon as Yingzi got in the car, she chatted with Qiao Weidong about interesting things in the past few days.
Qiao Weidong listened while driving, and soon Yingzi realized something was wrong. This was not the way to the airport.
Yingzi asked curiously: "Where are you going, dad?"
"A surprise for you!" Qiao Weidong replied.
"Dad, tell me, what's the surprise?"
Yingzi hugged her father and said coquettishly.
Qiao Weidong quickly pushed Yingzi away:
"Don't make trouble!"
"Dad is driving, it's too dangerous!"
Hearing this, Yingzi sat down quickly, stuck out her tongue guiltily, and made a face for Qiao Weidong.
Qiao Weidong parked his car at the gate of the community where he just bought a house, and took Yingzi into the community.
Take the elevator to the 12th floor:
"Yingzi, close your eyes. Open them again when daddy tells you to!"
Yingzi closed her eyes obediently.
Qiao Yudong took out the key, opened the door, and pulled Yingzi in:
"Okay, open it!"
Yingzi opened her eyes, and what she saw was a large pile of Lego placed in the center of the living room. The wall opposite the sofa was full of Yingzi's previous photos.
Qiao Weidong's decoration has not been changed, but the layout has been slightly changed in the past few days and new furniture has been added.
After all, the previous owner was a professional woman in her 30s. Some of her things were not used by Yingzi, such as the huge desk in the living room. Qiao Weidong found someone to move it out.
Qiao Weidong placed a lot of Lego in the specially set aside space.
Qiao Yingzi looked at the decoration of the entire room and asked:
"Dad, did you rent this?"
"Here, here you go!" Qiao Weidong handed the key to the house to Yingzi.
When his daughter took the key, Qiao Weidong explained:
"Didn't daddy promise to get you a secret base before?"
"This house is yours now!"
Yes, this house is now in Yingzi's name.
Yingzi was shocked by her father's words. How could she attend a winter camp and buy an apartment?
"Dad, what if I don't get admitted to Nanjing University?"
Qiao Yingzi asked with a frown.
Qiao Weidong brought Yingzi to the living room and motioned for Yingzi to sit down. Then he went to the refrigerator in the kitchen and took two Cokes. He returned to the living room and handed a can to his daughter. He also opened a can and took a big sip:
"Quick~" Qiao Weidong felt comfortable after drinking.
Then explained:
"Yingzi, this secret base should be considered as an early reward for you. Besides, dad believes that my daughter from NTU can still pinch her with both hands!"
In fact, Yingzi doesn't believe in herself now. After all, she has been a bit indulgent this month.
Although she was still studying and her father hired a tutor for her, Yingzi knew that her grades must have declined during this period, and she still felt a little unsure.
Yingzi put the Coke on the coffee table. She felt a little cold and didn't drink it. She raised her head and faced her father:
"Dad, why don't I go back and go to class? I feel like I have nothing to do, and I don't have much insomnia at night anymore!"
Qiao Weidong shook his head cautiously and refused:
"Anyway, we have winter vacation in just a few days, so I won't go back yet. When I get back, your Uncle Zhao will give you a good treatment or stay in a nursing home for a while!"
"If nothing happens, it won't be too late to go back next semester!"
"That"
Yingzi wanted to say something but didn't say it. She also knew that her body was not feeling well yet, and occasionally she couldn't sleep at night. But when she was in the nursing home and couldn't sleep at night, Liang Huan tried to make her fall asleep.
It’s just that I have less insomnia now.
Qiao Weidong hugged his daughter:
"Yingzi, don't worry. Teacher Hu (Yingzi's private tutor) told me that your grades are more than enough to go to Nanjing University!"
"Besides, Dad doesn't want this college entrance examination to be a constraint for you. Dad is now capable of giving you a good life. You don't have to take the college entrance examination. If you find it difficult, we can skip it!"
Yingzi also hugged her father and acted coquettishly:
"Thank you dad!"
Qiao Weidong rubbed her little head:
"Thank you. In fact, dad doesn't agree with the saying that he hopes his children will become dragons or his daughters will become phoenixes. Parents who hope that their children will become dragons and phoenixes are not dragons and phoenixes!"
"So dad very much hopes that you can live with it until you grow old. My father's money is enough for you to live on for a lifetime!"
Yingzi came out of his father's arms, opened the Coke he had just put on the coffee table and took a sip:
"Dad, these are all fallacies. How can you educate children like this? It's a good thing I'm older now, otherwise you would have taught me bad things!"
"You will have to teach your younger brothers or sisters to be like rice bugs in the future!"
Qiao Weidong smiled:
"Silly girl, as long as you and the child in your aunt Xiao Meng's belly don't start a business, your father's money will be enough for you to spend your whole life!"
"Dad has worked hard all his life, isn't it just to prevent you from working hard?"
Yingzi felt that what her father said made sense and was about to nod, then quickly shook the thoughts out of her mind:
"Hmph, I can't help you. Anyway, I can't listen to you on this matter. From now on, I have to tell my younger brothers and sisters not to believe your nonsense, and to make them useful to the country!"
Qiao Weidong looked at his daughter in disbelief. Is this my Qiao Weidong's daughter?
I don't know who to follow if I have such a sense of righteousness.
When Yingzi saw her father's gaze, she felt a little embarrassed and said:
"Dad, look at what I'm doing!"
"I'm wondering if my daughter was born in the wrong child, why did she end up in the home of a commoner like me!" Qiao Weidong joked.
Qiao Yingzi was even more embarrassed and said coquettishly:
"Dad, that's what I said, look at you!"
"Hahaha! Okay, don't be so talkative. Dad bought a ticket to return to Peiping the day after tomorrow. Go to bed early today. Dad will take you to visit the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties tomorrow!" Qiao Weidong said with a smile.
