A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 207: Impressing the Future Father-in-Law

Chen Jinnian has been extremely busy during this period, which has made him want to start forming a fixed team. Otherwise, if he continues like this, he will be exhausted.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, Chen Jinnian finished recording the program "Chinese Poetry Competition" and had just come out of the large studio when he was stopped by Cheng Mengyu.

"Chen Jinnian, wait for me." The other party caught up with him at a jog.

Originally, Cheng Mengyu did not plan to participate, but at the suggestion of her parents, she signed up to participate in the recording of the program.

"You just let the water out."

"Just kidding, no." Chen Jinnian shook his head like a rattle.

But Cheng Mengyu obviously didn't believe it and said, "You didn't even use your full strength in the arena just now. I know you. If it was a Feihua Ling duel, you would definitely have more poetry reserves than me."

Today is the recording of two episodes in a row. Chen Jinnian is the challenger who won the previous episode and became the new champion by winning the PK with the previous champion. Cheng Mengyu is the challenger who won the latter episode and she challenged Chen Jinnian.

"Is there a possibility?" Chen Jinnian said tentatively, "I really forgot."

"How is that possible? We just won first place in the academic competition." Cheng Mengyu looked at him stubbornly, determined to give a reasonable explanation.

Chen Jinnian was almost crying. He really forgot. He had been so busy recently that he had no time to memorize ancient poems. The fact that he could fight with Cheng Mengyu for more than twenty rounds in the ring was already an extraordinary performance.

"Really? I really forgot, and I really don't have time to participate in the rest of the recording." Chen Jinnian raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder. "From now on, it's up to you. Hopefully you can keep winning and get the final championship."

"By the way, I wish you a happy new year in advance. Bye." After leaving this sentence, he quickly turned around and walked out.

Today's New Year's Eve is the first time that their family and Wang Yidi's family have officially sat down to have a meal together. It is also the first time that Chen Jinnian sees the true face of his future father-in-law.

As a result, the program was recorded up to this point. According to the time, it had already started at this point. He was extremely panicked now.

"Hey, Chen..." Cheng Mengyu saw him leaving in a hurry, as if there was something very important, so she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

At this time, her parents, who were accompanying her on the scene to record the show, also came out from the backstage of the studio.

"Mengyu, do you know the boy just now? Why did you run out right after it ended?" Cheng Mengyu's mother asked curiously, and put the thick down jacket in her hand on her daughter.

"We are classmates. We were partners in the last subject competition." Cheng Mengyu put her loose hair behind her ears and said as she looked in the direction Chen Jinnian left.

"Really? That's quite a coincidence." After Cheng Mengyu's mother said this thoughtfully, she winked at her husband next to her.

They both knew their daughter's personality very well. She was always calm and reserved, but now she was abnormally anxious. There must be something going on.

So the two of them walked slowly with their daughter, taking turns asking her indirectly, trying to find out if there was anything unusual and what the situation was with the boy just now.

The recording of "Chinese Poetry Competition" was not done in Big Pants, but in the Starlight Film and Television Park in Daxing, so after Chen Jinnian came out of the park, he began to drive north in a hurry to the booked hotel.

Fortunately, it was the end of the evening rush hour, and there were not many cars heading to the city center, so his journey was relatively smooth.

As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw Wang Yidi looking around anxiously inside. When he saw him, he rushed up to him, took his hand and walked inside.

"What's going on? You're almost an hour late. You're really good." Wang Yidi complained with a pout.

Today is the first time her father met Chen Jinnian. A few days ago, she told Chen Jinnian to behave well and leave a good impression. Now, he was deeply impressed and will never forget it.

"This is my first time recording this kind of program. I had no idea it would take so long." Chen Jinnian smiled bitterly. He thought that this kind of program, with each episode only an hour and a half long, would take at most two hours to record.

As a result, he was still careless and recorded two episodes in a row, from morning to dark.

"What are you still talking about? I want to bite you to death now." Wang Yidi really cares about this matter.

After reaching the door of the box, Wang Yidi did not rush to push the door open. Instead, he asked Chen Jinnian to take off his thick coat first, then helped him tidy up his clothes, and finally took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped one side of his face.

Holding his face in his hands and looking at it several times, Wang Yidi said with some disappointment, "Well, it's just passable."

Chen Jinnian was stunned by this sentence. Are the requirements so strict? I look like this and I still can't meet them.

However, Wang Yidi did not give him time to ask questions. He simply opened the door and led him in.

The box was not big, but it was quiet and wouldn't be disturbed by outsiders. Four parents were sitting inside, namely Chen Ming, Su Ying, Wang Qing, and a strange middle-aged man with glasses and a thin face.

Chen Jinnian didn't even need to think about it, he knew the other party must be Wang Yidi's father, the CEO of a listed company: Wang Dazhu.

It is said that one should make up for what one lacks. Now he somewhat understood why Wang Yidi's grandfather insisted on giving his son such a name which was not mainstream at that time. He was really afraid that his son would not grow up.

At the same time, I also understand why Wang Qing has been training Wang Yidi to dance since he was a child, but never pursues how good he is at practicing, because that is just physical exercise.

When Chen Ming saw his son come in, he wiped his slightly sweaty forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had already talked about all the topics he could find in the past hour.

But he and the other party's circle were too far apart. The other party was the CEO of a technology company, and although his company also had the name of technology, it was actually a channel agent dealing in computer hardware. There was really nothing to talk about.

He had only heard of BTB, OTO, BTC models and all sorts of other cryptocurrencies but had never seen them. It was really not easy for Chen Ming to fool people until now.

"Auntie Wang, Uncle Wang, I'm sorry for making you wait for so long. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Jinnian apologized as soon as he entered the room.

But before he could finish, Wang Yidi gently pushed his shoulder and whispered, "Stand still and stop smiling."

The box was very quiet, so Wang Yidi's words, which he thought were spoken softly, reached the ears of the four parents word for word. Especially after seeing Chen Jinnian really stand up obediently, they couldn't help laughing.

Especially Chen Ming, he covered his face with his hands. He thought that with his son's personality, the rise of their Chen family in the future was just around the corner.

But now it seems that there is no hope at all. Wang Yidi might become the next Su Ying, and control her son strictly.
