Chapter 202 Fate Finally Changed
Qiao Yicheng is busy with his work at CCTV every day, and occasionally returns to Nanjing University to punch in. His mentor also knows that he has chosen to join CCTV, and he is very supportive of Qiao Yicheng's choice.

Now Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei are really very popular. They have long overshadowed Cong Shan, who starred in "The Shepherd", and Liu Xiaoqing, who is currently in the limelight. There are often many activities that require their participation.

Because Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei belong to the Nanjing Military Region Art Troupe and are also soldiers with military status, Qiao Yicheng is relatively relieved for the time being.

Seeing that he had changed the fate of Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, and that their future would have infinite possibilities, Qiao Yicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few days of checking in at Nanjing University, Qiao Yicheng had to rush back to Beijing to work at CCTV. As expected, the program plan of "Rise of Great Powers" was rejected by his superiors, but it also successfully attracted the attention of his superiors, which was exactly what Qiao Yicheng wanted most.

There are many suitable programs, but being able to get an appointment with the superiors is what Qiao Yicheng has always dreamed of.

Just when Qiao Yicheng said goodbye to his mentor and rushed back to Beijing, he received an unexpected call about Qiao Erqiang's fight at school.

Because Qiao Erqiang's academic registration was also arranged with the help of President Zhou of Nanjing University, President Zhou of Nanjing University was also present when Qiao Erqiang's matter was discussed.

"Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang often gets into fights at Nanjing Normal University High School!
Just for the sake of you and Principal Zhou, we often deal with big things as small things and small things as nothing!

But this time, Qiao Erqiang went too far. Not only did he beat his classmate so hard that he had to be hospitalized, but he also broke two ribs."

"Now the child's parents are demanding that the school expel Qiao Erqiang, and our school is in a difficult position!"

"Principal Su, the other party's family must be very unusual, right?" Qiao Yicheng asked speculatively.

"One percent. The injured child's family is considered a leader in Nanjing.

In fact, I also came forward to talk to the other party!
But the other party refused to accept compensation and only demanded that the school expel Qiao Erqiang." At this time, Principal Zhou also explained.

Qiao Yicheng looked at his younger brother Qiao Erqiang who was sitting next to him with his head down. He did not ask him why he hit someone, nor did he blame him. Instead, he looked at Principal Su of the Nanjing Normal University High School in front of him.

"Principal Su, Erqiang's grades are just average!
I never considered that he could get into college!

But he still has more than a year left before graduating from high school, so I still want Erqiang to have a high school diploma."

"Haha, a high school diploma is easy!
Yicheng, I will help Erqiang get his graduation certificate!
That's right." Principal Su understood the meaning of Qiao Yicheng's words and patted his chest to assure him.

Qiao Erqiang is eighteen years old this year and is considered an adult. Seeing that he still has a high school diploma, Qiao Yicheng is really satisfied.

"Principal Su, Principal Zhou, I understand what you mean!

It doesn't matter how I deal with Qiao Erqiang, I'm really sorry for causing you two so much trouble!"

"Yicheng, you're too polite!
Don't worry about the high school diploma, I will take care of it!"

"Thank you, Principal Su!"

Qiao Yicheng took his younger brother Qiao Erqiang away from the Affiliated High School of Nanjing Normal University. When they were halfway there, Qiao Erqiang could no longer bear it.

"Brother, I'm sorry! I've caused you trouble again!"

"It's okay! Isn't it just a fight?

If the other party doesn't want compensation, it must not be that serious!"

"Brother, don't you blame me?"

Qiao Yicheng patted Qiao Erqiang's head with amusement, "Erqiang, I personally taught you and Sanli the grappling techniques!

How can I blame you!"

"Thank you, brother! You're so kind to Erqiang!"

"Erqiang, you are eighteen years old this year!

We can't keep messing around like this!

I will be going to Hong Kong in a few days, and I want to arrange for you to see the world there!"

"Hong Kong? Great! Brother, can I really go?"

"Well! Hong Kong is different from the mainland. If you encounter something, you should be patient and learn from it."

"Brother, don't worry!
When I get to Hong Kong, I will be more patient!

But, what are you going to let me learn?"

“I want to arrange for you to learn how to shoot movies and TV series.

You might start by doing odd jobs, but you must not be afraid of hard work and study hard! "

"Yes! Big brother, I will listen to you!"

Seeing the happy Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Yicheng shook his head helplessly. He had been thinking about Qiao Erqiang's future development. Now Sanli and Simei have entered the broader entertainment circle.

Qiao Yicheng thought that Qiao Erqiang could also enter the entertainment industry to learn some experience, and with his own hard work at CCTV, the Qiao family would be able to run the entertainment industry well in the future.

He has no shortage of funds now. In a few days, he wants to go to Hong Kong and set up a film production company under the name of Qiao Erqiang. Then he can sign the contracts of Sanli and Simei in the company. This way, Sanli and Simei will be safer.

After working at CCTV, Qiao Yicheng suddenly became very interested in Hong Kong film and television dramas. He thought of directly purchasing the permanent broadcasting rights of Hong Kong film and television dramas in the mainland, and then shooting some more film and television dramas in the future, which would surely make the Qiao family shine in the mainland film and television industry.

Now that he has established a certain scale in the mainland entertainment circle, even director Xie Jin needs Qiao Yicheng to maintain his relationship with him. If he can recruit some other famous directors and follow the path of Noon Sunshine in the future, it will definitely be a smooth journey.

Because his network of contacts at CCTV had begun to take shape, it was very easy to arrange for Qiao Erqiang and himself to go to Hong Kong.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Qiao Yicheng first opened the "Qiao's Film Company" under the name of Qiao Erqiang, and then contacted major film and television companies in Hong Kong such as Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Cinema City, and bought out the permanent broadcasting rights of their film and television libraries in the mainland.

It is very difficult for Hong Kong films and TV dramas to enter the mainland. In 1977, China tried to introduce Shaw Brothers' "Painted Skin", but the response was mediocre. In the following years, there were not many introductions.

For these Hong Kong entertainment giants, they don’t value their own film and television libraries very much. Instead of letting them gather dust in the warehouse, it is better to sell them directly to Qiao Yicheng.

For the bigwigs of Hong Kong film and television companies, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Pictures are wealthy and stupid people, so of course they are very welcome.

"Mr. Zou, Mr. Shao, this is my younger brother Qiao Erqiang, he is very interested in making movies!

I want to keep him in Hong Kong to learn filmmaking, and I hope you two will take good care of him in the future!"

"Haha, Boss Qiao, don't worry!
"Wang Tianlin of our Shaw Brothers is a top-notch cinematographer. I'll arrange for your brother to learn filmmaking from Wang Tianlin." Before Zou Wenhuai could respond, Run Run Shaw immediately made the arrangements with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Shao!"

"Boss Qiao, we at Jiahe also welcome your brother!

If you need anything in the future, just ask!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zou! Erqiang, give these two gentlemen a toast!"

"Mr. Shao, Mr. Zou, Erqiang thanks you very much for your help! Let me drink first as a token of my respect!"

"Haha, great! Aqiang needs to learn Cantonese as soon as possible!
Otherwise it will be very troublesome!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shao, I will definitely learn Cantonese as soon as possible!"

After arranging Qiao Erqiang's affairs, Qiao Yicheng was really relieved. He sent him to Hong Kong so that he could truly see the outside world and would no longer have anything to do with Ma Suqin.

Sometimes Qiao Yicheng really feels very tired. They are his younger brothers and sisters, and he has no choice but to ignore them. He can only try his best to broaden their horizons. As for how their own lives will turn out, that is not something Qiao Yicheng can control.

Back in Beijing, Qiao Yicheng continued to devote himself to his work. He was now a section chief in CCTV's program department, a mid-level leader within the network. "Yicheng, I heard you went to Hong Kong a few days ago?"

"Yes! Master!

My younger brother Qiao Erqiang got into a fight at school, so I sent him to Hong Kong to learn how to make movies!
Then, by the way, he started a film company and bought the broadcasting rights of Hong Kong films and TV series in mainland China!

"Oh? Yicheng, are you optimistic about Hong Kong films?"

"Yes! Master!

As society gradually opens up, the mainland will certainly increase its purchases of Hong Kong films and TV series.

It’s a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that others are not optimistic about it, so I can get it in advance.”

"Haha, Yicheng, it turns out you have such a good business mind!" The director was also amazed at Qiao Yicheng's business acumen.

"Yicheng, you don't want to quit your job and go into business, do you?"

"No! Master!
I still like the working atmosphere of CCTV!

I won’t interfere with the film and television company’s affairs anymore!”

"Your brother Qiao Erqiang is studying film making in Hong Kong, so there will be no one to manage your company?" The director seemed a little surprised.

"Yes! I'm worried about this!
I was thinking about finding a suitable talent management company."

"Well! Yicheng, how about I introduce you to a talented person?" The director suggested with an idea in mind.

"Master, that's great!

The talent you always introduce must be the best in the industry!"

"Haha, you kid!
I have a niece who used to be the production director of Shanghai Film Studio.

I've been thinking about quitting my job and starting my own business lately. And since you've also started a company out there, why don't you two team up and start a business together?

"No problem, Master!
Then let your niece be the general manager of the film and television company!"

Qiao Yicheng felt very honored that the director was willing to let his niece join his company. China is a society based on personal relationships, and getting things done requires a lot of connections. The resources controlled by the director are also what Qiao Yicheng has always dreamed of.

With the director's help, Qiao Yicheng met the director's niece. Qiao Yicheng called her Sister Kang. She was in her forties and it was obvious that she had been working in the mainland film and television industry for many years.

"Sister Kang, since you've come to my film and television company, I'm going to give you 10% of the shares and 10% of the dividend rights."

"One percent, that won't do! It's too much!"

"Sister Kang, I usually don't ask about the company's affairs!
The reason why I asked my younger brother Qiao Erqiang to start this company is so that my brothers and sisters-in-law can have someone to rely on!
I will arrange for my two sisters, Sanli and Simei, to sign the contract with our film and television company."

"Yicheng, don't worry!
I understand what you mean!
I will definitely protect Sanli and Simei!"

"Haha, with Sister Kang's assurance, I'll feel much more at ease!"

"Yicheng, does our film and television company need a director?"

"Yes! I have already contacted the United States to purchase the latest filming equipment. I plan to shoot many movies and TV series in the future."

"Then what do you think of Director Xie Jin?"

"Sister Kang, my dear sister!
Are you trying to poach Director Xie Jin from Shanghai Film Group?
If I anger Shangying, my small body can't bear it! " Qiao Yicheng was frightened by Sister Kang and his eyes widened.

"Haha, what are you thinking about?

You are willing! Director Xie is not willing yet!
In addition to his usual filming duties at Shanghai Film Studio, Director Xie Jin also had time to help us with the filming.”

"Sister Kang, I understand what you mean!
As long as Director Xie Jin is willing, our company will support any subject matter and budget."

"Haha, I've heard that you made a lot of money abroad with Harry Potter. It seems the rumors are true!"

"Yes! Sister Kang, I have no shortage of money!
So Sister Kang, just do your job with confidence!
Let’s strive to make our film and television company bigger and stronger!”

Qiao Zuwang has been very proud recently. He feels very happy when he hears the compliments from others around him. He just hopes that Sanli and Simei will make a lot of money and come back to be filial to him.

But several days passed and Qiao Zuwang did not see Sanli and Simei return home. Even Qiao Erqiang suddenly disappeared. Alone and alone, Qiao Zuwang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Then he ran to Wei Shufang's house. Looking at the happy Qi family, Qiao Zuwang felt very uncomfortable.

"Zhiqiang, do you know where Erqiang went?"

"Brother-in-law, you are really good!
Qiao Erqiang has been taken away by Yicheng for almost a month, and you only remember to ask about it now!" Wei Shufang looked at her brother-in-law Qiao Zuwang sarcastically.

"I've never been allowed to interfere in their affairs!

Can you blame me for this?" Qiao Zuwang felt a little aggrieved.

"Brother-in-law, Erqiang got into a fight at school!

Then he was brought to the capital by Yicheng!

He's with Yicheng now, so don't worry about him!" Qi Zhiqiang quickly explained Qiao Erqiang's general situation.

"Worry? I don't bother to worry about them!"

"Tsk! Yes! It's so comfortable for you to be free and easy by yourself!" Wei Shufang continued to mock Qiao Zuwang.

Qi Zhiqiang also looks down on his brother-in-law Qiao Zuwang. As a father, he is not responsible at all and relies on Qiao Yicheng to take care of everything.

Fortunately, Qiao Yicheng is capable, otherwise he would really be driven crazy by the pressure of life. Seeing Wei Shufang mocking and ridiculing Qiao Zuwang, Qi Zhiqiang also sat there pretending to be confused.

Realizing that he was not very welcome in the Qi family, Qiao Zuwang looked at his seven-year-old youngest son Qiao Qiqi and turned and left.

"Oh right! Zhiqiang, could you please give a message to that guy at the back of Qiao Yicheng's head?
I don't care where they are now or what they do for a living.

Now that I am old, they must take responsibility for me!"

After Qiao Zuwang finished speaking, he turned around and left the Qi family, leaving the Qi family members sighing, "Zhiqiang, my brother-in-law has been so free and easy all his life!

I finally realized that I am old and need to rely on my children for support!"

"Oh! Yes! Time flies!
My brother-in-law is old! We are both old too! "Qi Zhiqiang was filled with emotion as he watched Qiao Zuwang leave.

"Zhiqiang, why are you sad?
Our three children are all capable and very filial, and they will definitely take care of our retirement needs in the future!"

After hearing Wei Shufang's words, Qi Zhiqiang didn't say anything. His eldest son Qi Weimin was quite good, but it was hard to say about Qi Weiyi and Qi Xiaoya.

"Zhiqiang, don't tell Yicheng about Qiao Zuwang coming here!

You should know that Yicheng is the one who hates his father the most! "

"Shufang, what you said is wrong!
No matter what, Qiao Zuwang is still their father!

As for how to resolve this matter, it all depends on their own decision."
