Future News: My Phone Mutated

Zhao Guangming thanked him profusely, then said, "Master, I've always wanted my daughter to enter medical school, but she refused no matter what. She kept saying that she wanted to study painting and enter the Academy of Arts."

"But our family has been practicing medicine for three generations, which has nothing to do with painting. We won't be able to help her in the future."

"Master, do you think we should let her enter medical school or let her study painting? which path can we take to help her develop better in the future?"

Hearing Zhao Guangming address him as "Master", Lin Bai felt very annoyed.

He didn't know how to do fortune-telling but no matter how he explained, the people around him wouldn't listen. They were certain that he would.

Zhao Guangming kept asking questions. Lin Bai felt that if he answered, there would be many more questions waiting for him.

He could forget about other things, but he couldn't make the decision for the little girl's future.

"As long as it's the right path, it won't be too bad. Just decide what she wants to major in," Lin Bai said.

Zhao Guangming didn't give up. He had to get a clear answer from Lin Bai.

"Then should my daughter study medicine or art? Master, please show me the way!"

Lin Bai was really annoyed, so he said with a straight face, "The more you try to calculate her fate, the more unfortunate she will be. The more you calculate, the worse it will be for your daughter."

"Usually, you should cultivate your character and do good deeds to accumulate virtue. No matter what path you take, it won't be bad."

"The reverse is also the same. If you don't cultivate your character and don't accumulate merit, no matter how much you try to have your fate predicted, it won't be good. Do you understand?"

When Zhao Guangming heard this, his expression instantly changed. He didn't dare to ask anymore, for fear of damaging his daughter's fate.

"Alright, alright, alright. In that case, I won't ask anymore. Thank you for your help, Master."

"In the future, I will definitely do more good deeds, save more people, and accumulate blessings and rewards for my daughter."

As Zhao Guangming said this, he dragged his daughter by his side and bowed to Lin Bai, thanking him for his help.

When Lin Bai saw him like this, the annoyance in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Although Zhao Guangming's personality wasn't very likable, to be able to become a department director before the age of forty, he could actually be considered to be young and promising.

Presumably, in his usual work, he should have worked very hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been appreciated by the director so much.

He also sincerely loved his daughter, but the way he did it was inappropriate.

Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the "Summer Dream" that he had bought at the auction house.

The artist who created that painting, Ye Qingyan, had run away from home because she didn't have the support of her family because of her ideals. She had been homeless, and in the end, she had died in a foreign land at a young age.

Lin Bai did not want a similar tragedy to happen again, so he said to Zhao Guangming, "You are worried that you won't be able to help your daughter in her career development in the future, but have you ever thought about whether she wants that help or not?"

"Indeed, if she has the relevant connections and experience, she can develop more smoothly, but that doesn't mean that her future will be a mess without these."

"Doctor Zhao, you've been talking about your expectations for a long time, and you've even asked me to help you predict her fate, but you've never asked your daughter's opinion from the beginning to the end."

"It's clearly her life and her future. Whether it's good or bad, she has to experience and savor every second on her own."

"As a father, you should give her love, help, and support. You shouldn't restrict her, and you shouldn't arbitrarily deprive her of her autonomy in life."

"You can help her analyze the pros and cons, but the final decision should be left to her. Doctor Zhao, you should learn to listen to and respect the opinions of others, not only in the family but also in the workplace."

Zhao Guangming's old face turned red, and he said apologetically, "I was too arrogant yesterday. I'm sorry..."

Lin Bai waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Guangming's words.

He said, "You don't have to apologize to me. Since the matter has been resolved, I won't blame you."

"It's just that I once learned about the life of a female artist by chance. I just remembered it. I was suddenly touched, so I said so much."

Zhao Guangming asked carefully, "May I know the name of the artist? Is it convenient for you to tell me? I don't mean anything by it. I just want to know about her life."

Lin Bai said, "It's good for you to go and take a look. Maybe you will have some insights."

"Her name is Ye Qingyan. She used to be like your daughter, unable to get the recognition of her family. The relationship between her and her grandfather is very sad. I won't talk about it in detail. You can go and check it out yourself."

Zhao Guangming nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had noted it down.

Zhao Tingting, who was behind him, no longer seemed as timid as she used to be. She looked at Lin Bai excitedly.

"You know Ye Qingyan too? I like her so much! She's my idol! Her paintings are so cool! She's so cool too! I want to be like her!"

Speaking of her idol, Zhao Tingting seemed to have changed into a different person in an instant.

Although Ye Qingyan's paintings had won many international awards, they were very rare in the country. Not many people knew about her.

Among Zhao Tingting's classmates, no one had heard of this name.

Therefore, she was full of admiration and love. No one could complain about it, and no one could understand it.

Until now, she had finally met another person who knew about Ye Qingyan. It was as if she had met a confidant!

Lin Bai looked at Zhao Tingting, who was so excited that her eyes were glistening. Suddenly, he understood why this good girl with excellent character would fall in love with a hooligan.

It was because underneath her gentle and well-behaved appearance was a heart that yearned to rebel.

Therefore, those avant-garde, bold, and different things from the secular world were all extremely attractive to her.

If she didn't get any guidance, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't make the same mistakes in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai smiled and said,

"Yes, Ye Qingyan's paintings and people are very cool, full of strength and courage."

"You can learn from her courage and persistence, but don't repeat her tragedy."

Zhao Tingting nodded hard. "Yes! Definitely not!"

Listening to the conversation between Lin Bai and his daughter, Zhao Guangming wanted more and more to know what kind of life experience the painter named Ye Qingyan had.

If it weren't for his politeness, he would have taken out his phone right away and started to check.

Lin Bai gave a few more instructions to Zhao Tingting to focus on her studies and said that he had something to do so she had to go back to the dormitory.

Zhao Guangming and his daughter left gratefully.

Zhao Guangming, in particular, had treated Lin Bai as his and his daughter's life mentor. He wanted nothing more than to hold Lin Bai's every word as a standard.

Lin Bai also had a strong premonition that what he had just said would change Zhao Tingting's entire life.

At the same time, it would have a very profound impact on Zhao Guangming's work and family.
