The Qiao family's family dinner was eaten very quickly, and was finished in less than half an hour.

It's not that the meal wasn't sumptuous.

In fact, because Cao Lili and Qiao Simei arrived early, the meal at Qiao's house was quite good.

There are a total of eight dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and pig, with meat dishes as the main component and raw materials as supplements. Some are stir-fried, some steamed, some braised, some clear soup, and some cold.

It can be said that these dishes are all high-standard dishes ordered from the nearby big hotels, and it was Cao Lili who paid for them.

Otherwise, let Qiao Zuwang take care of it. Firstly, he would be reluctant to part with it, and secondly, he would not be able to do it.

Therefore, the food is quite good, with good color and aroma. After all, it is the work of a famous chef in a big hotel.

The problem is that this kind of family banquet is not just about eating, or in other words, eating is only secondary. The key is chatting and friendship.

But during the actual chat, Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang, Cao Lili, and Qiao Simei were all juniors, and they couldn't speak in this situation.

What, there is another Qiao Qiqi? That child is not here at all, and has long been given to uncle Qiao Yicheng’s family to raise.

Therefore, the juniors were speechless, and only Qiao Zuwang and Cao Zhiqiang chatted.

But Cao Zhiqiang and Qiao Zuwang really don't have much in common.

It was okay at first. Cao Zhiqiang talked about Cao Lili and Qiao Simei's situation in the capital, such as their academic performance. Qiao Zuwang only talked about Qiao Yicheng, saying how capable and ambitious Qiao Yicheng was and that he had passed the college entrance examination.

After Cao Zhiqiang finished talking about the study and living conditions of Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, and Qiao Zuwang also finished talking about the glory of Qiao Yicheng's admission to college, there was basically nothing left to talk about.

It is impossible for Cao Zhiqiang to talk to Qiao Zuwang about writing poems and songs, and it is impossible for Qiao Zuwang to talk to Cao Zhiqiang about how to win money in mahjong.

Both parties have different hobbies and interests, and their living environments are also different. They are not the same people at all.

After reluctantly talking about the customs and customs of Jinling, it seemed that it would be awkward for both of us to continue the conversation. Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to say that he was full, and also said that he was tired after working for days and wanted to go back early to rest.

Cao Zhiqiang even took the initiative to leave, and of course Qiao Zuwang was happy to do so.

Because he found that chatting with Cao Zhiqiang was very tiring.

In addition to inconsistent views, different hobbies, and no common topics, the key point is that he always feels shorter when facing Cao Zhiqiang.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is the adopter, and his Qiao Zuwang's child is actually being raised by Cao Zhiqiang.

Even if Qiao Zuwang doesn't want his face anymore, he still needs his basic face.

What's more, he vaguely learned from Qiao Simei that Cao Zhiqiang had a big background and had a very big leader backing him. He was not a son of an official, but he was better than a son of an official.

How dare he offend such a person, even if he is too young, not much older than his eldest son Qiao Yicheng.

Therefore, Qiao Zuwang wished that Cao Zhiqiang would leave as soon as possible so that he could be more relaxed so that he would not have to worry about carrying it all the time. It was too uncomfortable.

Of course, on the surface, you have to be polite and courteous, and then ask Qiao Yicheng to take the flashlight and send Cao Zhiqiang, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei off.

Obviously, Qiao Yicheng was a little unhappy, but since his father said so, he had no choice but to go get a flashlight and see off Cao Zhiqiang and his party.

Seeing Qiao Yicheng walking silently in front with a flashlight on his face with a serious face, Cao Zhiqiang behind him actually laughed.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang and his party walked out of the alley and came to Li Youfu's jeep, Li Youfu immediately opened the door and got out: "President, are you going back?"

"Yeah!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang turned around and found Qiao Yicheng walking back without saying a word, without even saying hello.

Seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned and suddenly said: "Yicheng, please stay."

Qiao Yicheng, who was walking back with a flashlight, was stunned and looked back at Cao Zhiqiang: "What? Oh, by the way, goodbye!"

Having said this, Qiao Yicheng reluctantly smiled and waved to Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, shook his head, and then waved to Qiao Yicheng.

Qiao Yicheng frowned, but still walked to Cao Zhiqiang obediently: "Do you have anything else?"

Cao Zhiqiang did not answer, but instead turned to Cao Lili and Qiao Simei and said: "Lili, Simei, you two get in the car first and wait for me. I and Yicheng will go over there to talk about something alone. After we finish talking, we will come back to you, okay?"

"

Cao Lili nodded: "I understand, brother, go ahead."

Qiao Simei blinked: "Do you want to whisper? Can't you tell us?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Yes, women cannot listen to men's conversations."

Qiao Simei immediately pouted: "Huh, who cares?"

Even so, Qiao Simei still didn't intentionally walk away, but obediently followed Cao Lili into the rear driver's seat of the jeep.

Seeing that the two sisters got on the bus and Li Youfu was here, Cao Zhiqiang nodded with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang turned to look at Qiao Yicheng and said with a smile: "Yicheng, can you walk and chat with me?"

Qiao Yicheng looked at Cao Zhiqiang, pursed his lips, and nodded.

In this way, Qiao Yicheng and Cao Zhiqiang walked side by side slowly on the sidewalk.

At first, neither of them spoke, and just walked away.

Qiao Yicheng was speechless, while Cao Zhiqiang was thinking about what to say.

After thinking for a while, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly stopped: "Yicheng, congratulations, you have been admitted to university this time. You have done well."

Qiao Yicheng smiled slightly, seeming to appreciate this single compliment.

After all, he got into the exam based on his true ability, and although the person in front of him is very rich and has a lot of status, I heard that he just dropped out of high school.

Seeing Qiao Yicheng smiling and standing a little taller, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I also took the college entrance examination this year, and accidentally got a score of 616, and I got it

The top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination in Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yicheng's mouth immediately turned into an O-shape, and his eyes towards Cao Zhiqiang also changed, as if he was seeing a monster.

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and asked deliberately: "Why, Lili, Simei and the others didn't tell you about this?"

Qiao Yicheng bit his lip and shook his head.

"Oh, that's right. It's normal that I didn't tell you." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I didn't let them say it."

Qiao Yicheng pursed his lips tightly, and then took a deep breath: "Congratulations, President Cao, you are really different."

"Yeah, I think so too." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "So, when I wrote my college entrance examination application, I didn't fill in the name of any university."

"What?" Qiao Yicheng was stunned this time, "You didn't fill in the name of your university?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Because I don't plan to go to college."

"If you don't plan to go to college, then you still want to take the college entrance examination?" Qiao Yicheng asked with a frown.

Cao Zhiqiang laughed and said: "If you don't plan to go to college, you can't take the college entrance examination? That doesn't make sense."

"Then why do you want to take the college entrance examination?" Qiao Yicheng asked.

"Because it's fun." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged.

Qiao Yicheng swallowed, couldn't help clenching his hands, and felt angry for no reason in his heart.

Yes, think about him, he studies hard every day just to be admitted to university one day and change his life. But who knows, the university he finally got into will be fun and useful in the eyes of others.

But no, this, this is so irritating.

"You're kidding!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly laughed, "Actually, I took the college entrance examination just to prove to everyone that I am not unable to go to college, but that I can go to college but cannot. These are two different concepts.

To put it bluntly, I want to tell others that I was able to pass the college entrance examination and get a top score in liberal arts, which shows that my learning ability is no worse than others.

In this way, if I don't go to college, it only means that I don't want to go to college, not that I can't go to college because of my lack of ability.

Maybe, when I have time and ability in the future, I can open my own university for fun, hahaha."

Qiao Yicheng took a breath and said in a complicated tone: "Yes, you are naturally different."

Cao Zhiqiang looked down at Qiao Yicheng's face and smiled slightly: "What, are you jealous or unconvinced?"

"No, absolutely not." Qiao Yicheng shook his head quickly, "How dare I."

"Oh, I just don't dare, it's not that I don't."

"No, no, no, really not!"

Seeing Qiao Yicheng's anxious look, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly laughed: "I'm just teasing you, I think you're scared. A manly man who doesn't change his face when the mountain is about to collapse, how can he reveal his inner thoughts so easily?"

"

When Qiao Yicheng lowered his head in annoyance and shyness, Cao Zhiqiang put away his smile, patted Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder lightly, and said sincerely: "Yicheng, those words before were indeed intentional. I just wanted to test them.

It seems that your state of mind is still a little immature."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang added: "Yicheng, you and I don't have any conflict of interest. As for Lili and Simei, these two sworn sisters, I dote on them very much, so considering their friendship, I also

I won’t harm you, you should understand this, right?”

Qiao Yicheng was stunned, looked up at Cao Zhiqiang, who had a serious face, and then nodded: "Understood."

"As long as you understand." Cao Zhiqiang put away his hand and said, "Yicheng, you know your family's situation best, so I won't comment further.

In short, remember, don’t think that just because you have been admitted to college, you will think that you are great or omnipotent, and don’t do everything by yourself.

For example, the fate of family members and the lives of brothers and sisters all have their own fate. You may be able to inquire about it and take care of it, but don't involve it too much.
