"But that's impossible, because there's never been such a fake before, and you always have a worried look in your eyes, so I guessed it."
That's right, this guy is just talking nonsense and making excuses for himself.
After hearing this, Fang Yuan rolled his eyes, touched his brow, and muttered to himself:
"Am I sad? I actually feel quite happy!"
Fang Yifan doesn't care whether you're worried or not; he just nods and that's it.
Suddenly, Tong Wenjie sat up. Since the deed was already done, there was no point in blaming fate anymore.
The only solution is to find a way to solve the problem, so suddenly she cheered up.
"Alright, Fang Yifan, call Lei'er out. Let's have a family meeting!"
Tong Wenjie waved her hand and then spoke to Fang Yifan.
Fang Yifan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stopped her, saying:
"Mom, why are you calling Lei'er? You're not going to tell him about Dad losing his job, are you?"
Tong Wenjie glanced at it, and then Fang Yifan said:
"Isn't it normal to tell Lei'er? Hurry up and go, hurry up."
Fang Yifan coughed and then said, "No."
"Fang Yifan, do you want to get beaten up? You think you're all grown up now and dare to talk back to me?"
He quickly stood up and explained to his mother:
"Mom, calm down, I'll explain!"
Tong Wenjie then withdrew her hand to see what kind of trouble he was up to.
Then they waited quietly for Fang Yifan's excuses.
Fang Yifan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, his mother had controlled her temper this time, otherwise she would have slapped him on the head.
She's like a powder keg right now, ready to explode at any moment.
Fang Yifan coughed and then said to the two of them:
"Mom, you know Lei'er's personality. Once he finds out that Dad lost his job, he'll definitely feel like he's a burden to the family."
"Besides, he's rather introverted. Who knows if he'll get depressed if he keeps it all inside? So let's keep this from Lei'er. Besides, our family isn't at the point of being completely broke yet. We can still rely on those bonuses."
Fang Yuan, who was standing to the side, nodded after hearing this, and then said to Tong Wenjie, "I also think that what Fang Yifan said makes a lot of sense."
After calming down, Tong Wenjie thought about it for a while and realized that it made sense; she had acted impulsively just now.
She was also somewhat moved, because Fang Yifan truly treated Lin Leier as family.
Tong Wenjie smiled and apologized to Fang Yifan:
"I'm so sorry, Fanfan, Mom is really sorry, I misunderstood you."
Fang Yifan smiled and waved his hand, then said:
"It's alright, after all, Lei'er is my brother, who shares a quarter of my blood."
Tong Wenjie coughed once, then said to Fang Yifan and Fang Yuan:
"Alright, let's discuss what Dad should do from now on!"
"Now you have two options: one is to continue looking for a job, and the other is to retire early and become a stay-at-home dad, taking care of you and Lei'er during your senior year of high school."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was indeed quite used to the job, but he had put all the family's financial burden on Tong Wenjie.
My pride as a man wouldn't allow that.
So he shook his head and said to Tong Wenjie, "I choose the first one!"
Fang Yifan was taken aback when he heard the two options. Actually, having his dad cook for them was a great thing.
The key problem is that Dad definitely won't accept it.
Fang Yifan looked at his mother with a puzzled expression, then asked:
"Mom, what made you think of having Dad be a stay-at-home dad?!"
Tong Wenjie smiled and said, "Look at this neighborhood, there are hundreds of families, but at least half of them have an adult who cooks for their children."

Fang Yifan coughed and then said to his mother, "Mom, I actually have an idea that we could try!"
Tong Wenjie frowned, then asked warily, "What are your thoughts? Tell me."
Fang Yifan was overjoyed. The time had finally come for him to make his mark, and he could finally tell his mother what he had learned.
So he said to Tong Wenjie, "Mom, have you noticed that the self-media industry is currently a blue ocean market? We can give it a try!"
Upon hearing this, Tong Wenjie's face immediately turned furious, and then she turned around.
"Fang Yifan, I told you a long time ago not to make those short videos, why won't you listen?"
It's obvious that Tong Wenjue is because Fang Yifan used to like to shoot videos and post them online.
So I have some understanding of it.
However, the focus soon shifted to Fang Yifan's lack of concentration and his tendency to be distracted.
Fang Yifan stood up and poured his mother a cup of tea. After arguing for so long, her throat must be quite dry.
"Mom, have some water first, it'll cool you down and soothe your throat."
Tong Wenjie felt a slight soreness in her throat, so she picked up her cup and took a sip.
"Fang Yifan, you say you're quite sensible, but what kind of solution are you suggesting? We have tens of millions in assets, are you going to let us squander them?"
"If you play all day, what will you eat?"
I only said one sentence, and before I could explain, I got this barrage of criticism.
"Actually, you can make money through self-media, for example, by making some feature films."
"You get paid based on the number of views, and once you have a lot of followers, you can also get advertising deals and monetize your traffic."
Fang Yifan had prepared long ago. Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie couldn't accept it, and it was impossible for him to just say it casually and expect them to agree.
"Fang Yifan, I know you are quite interested in this industry."
"But do you know what's required to work in this industry?"
"We have none of these: equipment, funding, operations, script, actors, post-production, and so on."
"While some people have made money, there are countless others who haven't."
"I only saw a small group of people on top of the pyramid, but I couldn't see the people who were standing on their feet."
"If we rush in, will we just be stepping stones for others, or will we be able to climb up?"
Fang Yuan, being quite open-minded, assumed that Fang Yifan's decision to do this was just a momentary impulse.
However, they are just ordinary middle-aged people who prefer more stable jobs.
Fang Yifan's eyes lit up. At least for now, Fang Yuan seemed to be listening to him.
"Dad, I've already prepared the script, and all we need is one camera to film it."
"Let's give it a try. If the response is good, we can continue; if not, then forget it. What do you guys think?"
Fang Yuan turned to look at Tong Wenjie, then said weakly:
"Why don't we give it a try? We don't need to prepare anything special!"
"If you want to cause trouble, you two can do it. Let's see what kind of tricks you can come up with." Tong Wenjie pouted, her heart also wavering.
As Fang Yifan said, it was indeed just a trial, and there would be no loss.
Moreover, given his son's personality, even if the two of them disagree, he will still do it himself.
Based on his previous grades, it would have been difficult to even get into a second-tier university, but now even top scorers can try their best.
We must not delay him any longer.
"However, I have one condition!"
Fang Yifan was overjoyed. It seemed he had succeeded. As long as his mother agreed, the funding and other issues could be resolved.
"What conditions?"
"First, if you fail, you must concentrate on your studies and not do this again in your senior year of high school."
"Secondly, if we succeed, our grades cannot decline."
"If you don't agree, then we can't do it."
After she finished speaking, Tong Wenjie looked at Fang Yifan, waiting for his reply.
She also knew that it was better to guide than to block, otherwise she would be spending all her time in class and wouldn't be able to focus on this.
"No problem, if my grades drop, I'll quit immediately."
Tong Wenjie thought that was more like it.
"You said it yourself, I didn't force you." He nodded and then smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fang Yifan nodded his head like a rattle drum.

He was confident that his grades wouldn't decline, since they were etched into his mind.

Suddenly, the system in my mind issued a prompt.
After watching Tong Wenjie and her son reach an agreement, Fang Yuan stretched out his hand, rubbed it together with some curiosity, and said in a simple and honest way:
"You just said you had a script. Take out your script and let Dad take a look."
“Okay!” Fang Yifan replied with a smile.
