Chapter 711 - Saving Up for College Fees (1/2)

After Director s.h.i.+ left the army, his routine had also been disrupted. At the sight of the situation, Qiao Nan frowned and looked at s.h.i.+

Qing.

If s.h.i.+ Qing did not keep a tighter watch on Director s.h.i.+, his health would only become poorer.

Qiao Nan’s worries were, in fact, the greatest fear of s.h.i.+ Qing at this point in time.

Despite having hesitated about it before, s.h.i.+ Qing was now determined to carry out the plan of the three-minute phone calls.

Her father was already behaving this way in front of her. In that case, when no one was watching him during his normal working time, it would most probably be worse. “Dad, did you eat properly when you’re working recently? Qiao Nan suffers from some ailments during summertime and has thus become skinnier. But why do I feel that you have also lost weight during this period?”

“…” At the sight of his daughter’s hands touching his arms, he looked embarra.s.sed. “Imagination. It’s just your imagination!” He then took back his hand quickly to prevent his daughter from touching him.

“Imagination? It’s easy to confirm. We’ll know after some weighing.” Qiao Nan smiled and added a stab at s.h.i.+ Peng.

Neither s.h.i.+ Qing nor s.h.i.+ Peng could prove whether the latter had lost weight with their words. Only the weighing scale could do so.

s.h.i.+ Peng really had no other ways to deal with these two children. He could only look helplessly at Qiao Dongliang, hoping that Qiao Dongliang could put in some good words for him.

Qiao Dongliang buried his face into the bowl of rice, expressing that he did not have the capability to help.

In his house, Nan Nan was basically the head of the family. Even he, as the father, had to listen to Nan Nan.

As for the s.h.i.+ family, it seemed that s.h.i.+ Qing was also the head of the family. Director s.h.i.+ also had to listen to his daughter.

Initially, Qiao Dongliang doubted if he was being too much to let his daughter run the household. Nevertheless, with s.h.i.+ Peng as a living example right before him, Qiao Dongliang did not feel burdened by this thought anymore.

This was the case even for a senior leader. As a small employee, he felt that he was not abnormal to do the same.

With the two pairs of eyes of the two little housekeepers staring at him, s.h.i.+ Peng had no choice but to slow down when having his meal. He even had to strictly follow Qiao Nan’s request of chewing thoroughly and swallowing slowly before he could pa.s.s their ‘quality inspection’. He was released only after he received the approval of the two little housekeepers.

“Right, s.h.i.+ Qing, accompany me to the bank tomorrow,” Qiao Nan said as she put down her bowl of rice.

“Why are we going to the bank?”

“When we go to the bank, it’s either to deposit or withdraw money. Can there be a third reason for it?”

“Yes, borrow money!” s.h.i.+ Qing lifted her chin complacently.

“Isn’t borrowing money also considered a form of withdrawing money?” Qiao Nan laughed. So thick-skinned and big-hearted to dare to show off such little tricks.

“Deposit money?” After thinking, Qiao Dongliang put down his utensils, turned, and walked into his bedroom. He then took out a stack of money and pa.s.sed it to Qiao Nan. “Since you’re going to deposit money, deposit these too.”

“These…” Qiao Nan was a little surprised. These should be the money that her father had saved up over the past two years. He could leave it for Qiao Zijin. Why did he pa.s.s it to her?

“Save it. Save it directly in your bank account. When you need it for your studies in the future, you can withdraw them yourself. You have grown up. You have the ability to control and allocate the money. I feel quite a.s.sured to give you the money.”

Qiao Dongliang spoke frankly.

He felt quite a.s.sured to give the money to Qiao Nan. In other words, if he were to continue to keep the money with him, he might feel more worried instead.
