Chapter 716 - Qiao Nan’s Brilliant Trick (1/2)

s.h.i.+ Qing refused to give up. “Is there really no other way?”

Qiao Nan raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t you record your voice in a tape? When it’s time to have meals, you can tell your dad’s secretary to play it continuously to remind him to have his meals.”

“It’s worth a try.” The recording might not be as good as the real person, but it was better than nothing.

“Are you serious?” She was just joking.

“Of course I am serious. This method is feasible and operational. It can be done.” s.h.i.+ Qing decided on it. She went back to her house to get a recorder and a tape to record her voice.

In order to check its effect, s.h.i.+ Qing asked Qiao Nan to listen to it after she finished with the recording. She wanted to know if it would work.

After listening to the recordings, Qiao Nan gave s.h.i.+ Qing an idea. “It is too boring to record one version only. Your dad may be immune to it after listening for a long time. Perhaps you can record a few more versions using different tones—like when you are angry, furious, exasperated, and gloomy. It will be a good idea for your dad to listen to different versions. Let’s do it this way. I will write down the wordings. You can memorize them and use different tones to say them. In this case, your dad will not be tired of them and his secretary will have an easier job.”

“Great!” s.h.i.+ Qing eyes brightened. Her interest was piqued.

It was a test of her acting skills to use different emotions when saying the same words. “I will go all out for my dad!”

It could have been an annoying task. However, it turned out to be full of fun due to Qiao Nan’s suggestion.

At Qiao Nan’s request, s.h.i.+ Qing spent the whole afternoon making the recordings in different versions, having a lot of fun in the meantime.

s.h.i.+ Qing went to s.h.i.+ Peng’s workplace before school reopened and had a talk in secret with s.h.i.+ Peng’s secretary.

“Xiao Qing, you can rest a.s.sured that I will make sure that it’s done properly. If the director is in poor health, it will spell trouble for us as well.” The secretary laughed slyly after listening to the recordings. He believed that the recordings would definitely work on Director s.h.i.+.

s.h.i.+ Peng was clueless that s.h.i.+ Qing was working secretly with his secretary.

By the time he learned about it, it was when he heard the recordings that s.h.i.+ Qing made to remind him to have his meals.

“The weather is very good.” s.h.i.+ Qing summed up her feelings while standing at the door of Ping Cheng High School.

Qiao Nan squinted, s.h.i.+elding her eyes with her hands from the bright and glaring sun. She looked at s.h.i.+ Qing, dumbstruck by her remarks. “Is the weather very good? Perhaps you want to stand here for half an hour to enjoy the sun?”

s.h.i.+ Qing smiled, looking embarra.s.sed. “Don’t be so serious. I am referring to a feeling. I am not really saying that the weather is good today. The heat during autumn is unbearable. How can the weather be good? I am just kidding.”

“Hehehe, your joke is really funny.” Qiao Nan smiled dryly at her joke. “I won’t stand under the sun with you. I don’t have to pay school fees, but you have to. If you don’t hurry, there will be a long queue. Surely you don’t want to stand in the queue with others, do you?”

“There’s no need to queue. Have you forgotten that third-year students start school five days earlier than the rest of the students?”

“Are there any cla.s.ses that start late in Ping Cheng High School?” Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. Ping Cheng High School was a first-rate high school. If it did not have cla.s.ses during summer break, it would always start school earlier than the rest. It had been a tradition.
