Chapter 209 Promotion is also a choice

Everyone has their own preferences and preferences. It is difficult for Qiao Yicheng to treat his four younger brothers and sisters equally.

Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei are the two siblings who are the most difficult to change. Sometimes they are as stubborn as fools. One of them married an older wife who was divorced and was willing to raise someone else's son, while the other one mindlessly condoned her partner's betrayal and infidelity.

Now Qiao Yicheng has changed Qiao Erqiang's fate. As for Qiao Simei, Qiao Yicheng really doesn't have that much patience. Since she chose to go abroad, it is exactly what Qiao Yicheng wants.

After getting a lot of money from Qiao Simei, Qiao Zuwang started his daily self-destructive mode. He soon lost himself in the compliments from others and started a business with others by raising funds.

Wei Shufang was so worried about Qiao Zuwang that she often called Qiao Yicheng in Beijing to complain. Qiao Yicheng knew that Qiao Zuwang had the "big money" given by Qiao Simei and no longer cared about the ten yuan given by Wei Shufang every day.

"Aunt, I've heard about my dad's affairs!

I will still send you money on time every month. When he has had enough of being out there, he will come back!"

“How can this be possible!

Why don't you wait until your father Qiao Zuwang comes back and then continue to send money?" Wei Shufang was most worried that Qiao Yicheng would stop sending money, so she was just being polite out of embarrassment.

"Second Aunt, just use this money with confidence!
We brothers and sisters can all earn money now, so we won’t be short of 500 yuan!"

"Alright! I'll say you brothers and sisters are all promising!
Much better than our Weiyi and Xiaoya!"

Qiao Yicheng, of course, understood what Second Aunt Wei Shufang meant, and then he took the initiative to bring it up with a smile, "Second Aunt, how about I ask Erqiang to find a job for Weiyi and Xiaoya?"

"Haha, this is great!
Thank you so much to you and Erqiang!

You don't even know how much I, your second aunt, worry about Weiyi and Xiaoya's work!"

"Haha, don't worry, Second Aunt!
Weiyi and Xiaoya’s work will be arranged for them!

Also, the last time I went back, I saw that my second uncle wasn't feeling well. I asked you to take him to the hospital for a checkup. Are the results out yet?"

"Yicheng, you're so thoughtful! The test results are out, and they're just some minor issues, nothing serious!"

"Oh! That's good!" Qiao Yicheng realized that his time travel had brought about some changes.

After hanging up the phone with his second aunt Wei Shufang, Qiao Yicheng called Qiao Erqiang again and told him about Wei Shufang's request to arrange jobs for Weiyi and Xiaoya.

"Brother, I understand! I'll take care of them!"

"Yeah! Erqiang, Weiyi and Xiaoya have some of the same personalities as Second Aunt. Unlike Weimin, who is easy to get along with and can get things done.

You'd better assign them to less important positions!"

"Okay! I know how to arrange them!"

Qiao Erqiang has now grown into a big boss in the business world. When dealing with these small matters, he seems to be very comfortable with it and does not see them as difficult problems at all.

His younger brothers and sisters all have their own jobs and families. When Qiao Qiqi entered high school, he also chose a boarding school, saying that it was to experience a different study life. In fact, Qiao Yicheng knew that he was making room for himself to have a girlfriend.

Among his four younger brothers and sisters, Qiao Yicheng cares the most about the youngest, Qiao Qiqi. At the same time, Qiao Qiqi also respects and loves Qiao Yicheng the most.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard house, Qiao Yicheng realized that it had not been renovated since he bought it. Now that his younger brothers and sisters have left, Qiao Yicheng finally has time to renovate the courtyard house.

Qiao Yicheng contacted a famous history expert from Peking University. With this history expert overseeing the renovation of the courtyard house, Qiao Yicheng felt much more at ease, but he had no place to live for the time being.

Qiao Yicheng, who was used to freedom, couldn't get used to living in the staff dormitory, so he thought about renting a house temporarily. Qiao Yicheng bought many houses in Beijing and Shanghai, but they were all courtyard houses and old houses with investment value. After all, most of the commercial houses nowadays are tube-shaped buildings, which Qiao Yicheng would not buy.

“My house consists of three rooms that have been renovated. It took a lot of effort from my family!
Please take good care of yourself while you live here. If we hadn't heard that you were a CCTV employee, we wouldn't be worried about you staying here!"

"Huh? Auntie, don't worry!
I will try my best to take good care of your house!
Try your best to ensure that you can return the property in good condition when you check out!"

"Well! I still have confidence in high-quality talents like you!
If our family wasn't going abroad, we wouldn't be willing to rent out such a nice house!"

Finally, I coaxed this talkative aunt from Beijing to leave, and rented this house for a year at a high price of 180 yuan a month. I finally had a temporary place to stay.

Although the rent of one hundred and eighty-one yuan a month was indeed very high, it was the best one he had found so far, and it was not too far from his workplace, so Qiao Yicheng rented it directly.

The atmosphere in the unit has been very subtle recently because the unit is planning to promote a deputy director to be the director of the program department. Qiao Yicheng and two other deputy directors of CCTV have always been popular candidates.

"Director Qiao, I heard that our CCTV program department is short of a director recently. I think your chances of getting promoted are very high!" Song Qingyuan, who has become Qiao Yicheng's brother-in-law, still addresses Qiao Yicheng by his title in public.

"Qingyuan, getting a promotion is a blessing if I get it, and a disaster if I lose it! I really don't take it that seriously!"

"Director Qiao, you are still at a higher level! I admire you!"

"Qingyuan, how are you and Sanli doing lately?"

"We're doing fine! I'll tell you a secret, Sanli is pregnant!"

"Really? That's great! Now we have another addition to our family!"

The wedding of Qiao Sanli and Song Qingyuan was very lively. The Song family was very satisfied to see that Qiao Sanli had voluntarily withdrawn from the entertainment industry. Sanli and Song Qingyuan's married life was also very harmonious.

At the wedding, Qiao Yicheng also saw Xiang's father and mother who came to attend the wedding, but he did not see Xiang Nanfang. He heard that he seemed to have started working.

Qiao Yicheng no longer cares so much about whether he can meet Xiang Nanfang. Emotional matters are very complicated, and now he values career success more.

Although Qiao Yicheng said it with ease, he actually took the position of director of the program department very seriously. After all, he had been at CCTV for seven or eight years, and it was time for a promotion.

Qiao Yicheng knew that he was the best in CCTV in terms of both academic qualifications and abilities, but he was still the youngest among the leaders, which was also Qiao Yicheng's biggest shortcoming.

Qiao Yicheng returned home from get off work as usual and suddenly found that there was someone in the house. Qiao Yicheng looked around in surprise and soon a beautiful girl walked out of the bedroom reserved by the landlord.

"Hello! Are you my aunt's tenant?"

"Huh? It's me! Who are you?" Qiao Yicheng felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

“Hello, sir!

I am the landlord’s niece, my name is Xiang Nanfang!

I need to stay here for a while. I’m sorry for the inconvenience I’ve caused you!”

"Xiang Nanfang?" Qiao Yicheng was shocked and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him in surprise.

"Sir, have you heard of me?" Xiang Nanfang was also surprised to see that Qiao Yicheng seemed to have heard of him.

"Ms. Xiang, I work at CCTV and am a colleague of Song Qingyuan! I heard him talk about you!"

"Ah? What a coincidence!
Let me introduce myself again, my name is Xiang Nanfang!"

"Hello! My name is Qiao Yicheng! We met in 1976!"

"What? Why don't I have any impression?"

"At the end of 1976, Nanjing held a calligraphy exchange competition, and you performed calligraphy at the competition."

"This world is so magical! Mr. Qiao, it turns out we've met before!"

"Haha, you should just call me Qiao Yicheng!

"It feels weird to hear you call me Mr. Qiao!" In this way, Qiao Yicheng and Xiang Nanfang met magically. Seeing Xiang Nanfang's performance, she should not know herself. It seems that when Song Qingyuan said to herself that he would introduce herself to Xiang Nanfang, it was either that he deliberately fooled herself or that his mind was on Sanli.

After living together in the same room for a few days, Qiao Yicheng learned that Xiang Nanfang came to Beijing to study at the Party School, so he would only stay here for three months at most.

Although they lived under the same roof, Qiao Yicheng and Xiang Nanfang had very little time to interact with each other. After all, they both had their own things to do and work, and they would only see each other at most when they came back at night.

Qiao Yicheng had just finished dinner and took a cold shower. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. He was about to go back to his room to sleep, but his attention was attracted by the ringing of the phone next to him.

"Hello! Who is it?"

"I am me!"

"Xiang Nanfang?"

"I'm drunk! Come get me!"

"Okay! Where are you?"

"Capital Hotel!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yicheng went downstairs and drove to the Capital Hotel. Sure enough, he saw six or seven people supporting the drunk Xiang Nanfang at the door.

Qiao Yicheng parked the car next to them and got out to take Xiang Nanfang.

"Yicheng, why did you come just now?"

"Haha, there's a traffic jam! It's my fault!" Hearing such an intimate name, Qiao Yicheng realized something and said very cooperatively.

At this time, a foreigner in the group looked at Qiao Yicheng curiously and asked questioningly, "Are you really Nancy's boyfriend?"

"Yeah! Who are you?"

"Hello! I'm Nancy's classmate at USC, my name is William!"

"Hello! I'm Qiao Yicheng!
We'll talk again when we have a chance! I'm going to take her home right away!"

William looked at the drunk Xiang Nanfang, took a step back reluctantly, and watched Qiao Yicheng carry Xiang Nanfang to the passenger seat, and watched Qiao Yicheng and Xiang Nanfang drive away.

Xiang Nanfang had really drunk too much. As soon as Qiao Yicheng's car started, Xiang Nanfang vomited on Qiao Yicheng not long after the car started. Soon a pungent smell filled the entire car. Qiao Yicheng helped Xiang Nanfang up and opened the car window to get some fresh air.

After an agonizing journey back to the downstairs of the community, Qiao Yicheng carried Xiang Nanfang back to the room. He first used a hot towel to wipe the vomit off Xiang Nanfang's mouth and body, and finally Qiao Yicheng cleaned up the vomit on his own body.

After taking a good bath, Qiao Yicheng felt much better. He threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine and stirred it, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a busy period, he came to Xiang Nanfang's room again. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, Qiao Yicheng returned to his room with peace of mind.

The next morning, Qiao Yicheng found that Xiang Nanfang had gone out. When he went downstairs and saw a car with a bad smell, Qiao Yicheng first drove it to the car wash for cleaning and maintenance, and then jogged all the way to work.

The CCTV employees were a little surprised to see Qiao Yicheng jogging all the way. One colleague looked at the breathless Qiao Yicheng and asked, "Director Qiao, why didn't you drive to work today?"

"Oh! Lao Lin! My car broke down! I took it to the auto repair shop to get it fixed!"

"Ouch! This is troublesome!
How about Director Qiao take my car and use it for a few days?

I don’t use it often anyway!”

"Thanks, Lao Lin! The car has a minor problem and it will probably be fixed by tomorrow!"

"Oh right! Director Qiao, the director wants you to go to his office."

"Oh! I'll be there right now!"

Qiao Yicheng came to the director's office, knocked on the door, and heard "Come in" from inside. Then Qiao Yicheng walked in.

"Yicheng is here! Come and sit down!"

"Master, Lao Lin said you have something to talk to me about?"

"Right! Before we talk about anything, try the West Lake Longjing tea my friend just gave me!"

"Haha, Master, I don't know much about tea.

Giving me such good tea is like giving a cow a peony. What a pity!

"Haha, one percent!

Stop talking nonsense to me!

Everyone at CCTV knows that you are a famous talent! "

"Haha, Master, you're too kind!"

Qiao Yicheng took the tea from the director, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Hmm! Really good! This good tea tastes different!"

"Haha, if you like it, take it back and drink it later!"

"How can that be so? A gentleman doesn't take away what others like!"

"Alright! Yicheng, don't be so polite to me!

The reason I asked you to come here this time is because the program department is currently short of a director, and I wanted to ask if you are willing to go over to the program department?"

"Director, don't worry! I'm willing to give the program department a try!"

"That's good! But there's one more thing I have to tell you in advance!"

"Master, please speak!"

"Nowadays, provincial and municipal TV stations have been established all over the country. Your hometown, Nanjing TV Station, wants to invite you back to Nanjing and is willing to give you the position of deputy director."

“Master, you may not know this!
Although my hometown is Nanjing, I have been working at CCTV since graduating from university!

All my connections and relationships are here, and I have become accustomed to the lifestyle in Beijing.

So, I have no plans to return to Nanjing!"

“Oh! What a pity!
It's not easy for a deputy director of a city-level TV station to have such an opportunity!"

"It's okay! I'm still young anyway!

Be a good director of the program department first, and there will be more opportunities in the future!"

"That's right! Yicheng, you're right!

Do a good job! I have high hopes for you! "

“Thank you for your cultivation!”
