Seeing Su Huaiming's stiff expression, Zhou Hanyan realized the problem. He gave a dry laugh and looked at Su Huaiming with lingering fear, afraid that he would get angry.
The others were very curious about their reactions and were filled with gossip.
Su Huaiming absolutely didn't want them to know, so he abruptly changed the subject. "Hey, everyone, help me think of some content for the flyer."
Ji Mingzhe, always understanding, noticed Su Huaiming's embarrassment and offered to help, saying, "Making the flyers is quite complicated, let's help Xiao Zhou."
"Alright, leave the content to us." Sun Siyuan raised an eyebrow. "Zhou Hanyan just needs to handle the promotional slogans."
Su Huaiming was silent for a few seconds, then couldn't help but instruct Zhou Hanyan, "Tone it down a bit, don't be too... We're running a legitimate business."
"..." Zhou Hanyan calm on the surface, but inside he was crying his heart out.
What to do? It seems he did something wrong, and his idol is about to think he's a hater pretending to be a fan!
Zhou Hanyan didn't know how to explain, so he decided to put all his effort into making the promotional leaflets to prove to his idol that he could also do serious things.
After resolving the flyer issue, Su Huaiming looked at the four kids who were eager to participate but couldn't, and said, "Xiao Xiao, you can each hand-draw a flyer. We'll distribute them randomly. Whoever gets a hand-drawn flyer can get free ice cream and coconut juice for the first three days after opening."
The four little ones' eyes lit up immediately, and their smiles practically reached for the sky with joy.
Fu Xiaoxiao remembered his responsibilities as the shop manager and immediately took the other three children to draw. They were all very serious and gave it their all.
Su Huaiming and his team discussed some more matters related to opening the store, and found that the more they talked, the more numerous and detailed the issues became, making the task quite challenging.
When it was time to go to bed, they each returned to their rooms.
After a night's rest, everyone woke up early to continue preparing for the opening of the shop.
Su Huaiming and Sun Siyuan were responsible for leading four children to hand out flyers. They got into the car provided by the production team and went to the square with the largest flow of people.
Fu Xiaoxiao and the others weren't shy at all. Su Huaiming handed them a small stack of flyers and asked, "How do you plan to distribute these to the uncles and aunties?"
Fu Xiaoxiao felt that Su Huaiming's question was unnecessary and that he was underestimating them. He snorted twice, "We've already thought it through."
Su Huaiming asked curiously, "Could you demonstrate it for me?"
The four children lined up in a row.
Ji Youyou lifted the hem of her skirt, squatted slightly, and said in a childish voice, "Can I have a flyer?"
Three chubby boys stretched out their arms and politely placed them in front of them. "Hello, beautiful lady, may I have a flyer?"
Su Huaiming and Sun Siyuan were both taken aback by their imposing presence, and it took them a full half minute to find their voices again.
Su Huaiming gave a thumbs up and said, "Great job! You guys must be really fast at handing out flyers."
Fu Xiaoxiao raised her chin, wearing a "of course" expression, looking quite arrogant.
Just as he was about to act, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is our drawing?"
Su Huaiming had already anticipated this, and said with a smile, "You have a hand-drawn one among the flyers you have; you can deliver it yourself."
Hearing this, the four children became even more excited and immediately started shaking their heads as they searched for their target.
Just as Su Huaiming said, no one could resist cute and polite children. They were all charmed and accepted the flyers with both hands. Some even stopped to talk to the four little ones.
Fu Xiaoxiao kept a straight face throughout, displaying a highly professional attitude and striving to be a qualified store manager.
He was also the fastest at handing out flyers, and just as he was looking for a new target, his gaze involuntarily fell on a mother and daughter.
The little girl was wearing a pink dress, with delicate features and fair skin, looking like a porcelain doll.
He looked older than him, a head taller, and didn't smile much; he seemed a bit cold.
Fu Xiaoxiao, despite her young age, had already developed a taste for good looks. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful older sister, and she stared at her, completely mesmerized. As if being pulled by the nose, she walked straight over, stopped a few steps away, and suddenly felt a little shy.
The little girl spotted Fu Xiaoxiao first, staring at him expressionlessly without saying a word.
Fu Xiaoxiao dared not go any further. He tiptoed, his chubby body swaying back and forth, until the little girl's mother saw him.
"Isn't this Xiao Xiao?" The little girl's mother was quite excited and immediately went to greet Fu Xiaoxiao. She looked up and around, her eyes shining like searchlights.
Fu Xiaoxiao took small, quick steps over, her head slightly lowered, avoiding eye contact with the little girl.
He looked at the flyer in his hand, suddenly remembered something, and immediately rummaged through it, finding the one he had hand-drawn.
He coughed twice, looked at the little girl a little shyly, handed her the flyer, and whispered, "Sister, this is a drawing I made. If you take this, you can eat something without spending any money."
The little girl maintained her aloof demeanor, nodded, and took the flyer. "Thank you."
The uncles and aunts in the live stream saw this and mercilessly exposed Fu Xiaoxiao's deception.
[I've reported that someone is engaging in underhanded dealings and shady practices!]
[Oh my goodness, the usually timid and cowardly Fu Xiaoxiao has actually become shy!]
[Haha, Fu Xiaoxiao already knows this trick at such a young age!]
This little girl is so pretty! She'll definitely grow up to be a stunning beauty!
[The little girl's voice is a bit low, like a boy's.]
After the pretty lady took the hand-drawn flyer from him, Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't hide his excitement. His ears turned red, and he couldn't help but steal glances at her, smiling with his lips pursed.
The pretty older woman was very aloof, but her mother was very warm and friendly. She seemed to know him and kept talking to him softly, even trying to give him things.
Remembering Su Huaiming's words, Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I can't take things from strangers."
After saying that, he glanced at the little girl furtively and said shyly, "I'm sorry."
The little girl's mother, as if waiting for these words, eagerly replied, "It's okay, we'll eat ice cream together after we get your father's permission."
Fu Xiaoxiao nodded and immediately stood on tiptoe to search for Su Huaiming's figure.
The little girl's mother spoke first, "I've found your father. Let's go, we'll go together."
Hearing this, the little girl looked up at her mother and sighed helplessly.
The group of one adult and two children walked towards Su Huaiming. When they were a few meters apart, the little girl's mother stopped, took deep breaths, and looked strange with a flushed face.
Fu Xiaoxiao looked at her worriedly. "Auntie, are you alright?"
"I... I... my wo..." The little girl's mother was so excited she couldn't speak, her eyes reddening.
"Don't cry." Fu Xiaoxiao hurriedly raised her hand, wanting to wipe away her aunt's tears.
As soon as Fu Xiaoxiao said this, the little girl's mother burst into tears and sniffled.
One adult and two children were in complete disarray.
Seeing this, the little girl hesitated for a few seconds before giving in. She took out a photo and some paper from her mother's bag and walked straight towards Su Huaiming.
"Hello."
Upon hearing this, Su Huaiming stared blankly at the beautiful little girl who had suddenly appeared.
"Could you sign your name for me?" the little girl asked crisply, her face expressionless, with a businesslike air.
"Okay." Su Huaiming took the pen and photo, and realized that the person in the photo was him.
He couldn't help but glance at the little girl a few more times, raising an eyebrow slightly.
If he wasn't mistaken, the little girl's voice sounded like a boy's.
Su Huaiming didn't point that out, but instead asked, "What should I write?"
The little girl continued, "Please write down, Fangfang, happy birthday, may you become even more beautiful every day, love you, Su Huaiming."
Su Huaiming nodded and casually asked, "Is your name Fangfang?"
The little girl shook her head. "My name isn't Fangfang, it's my mother's name."
Su Huaiming paused, looking at him in surprise.
The little girl, who was chasing after her mother's idol, explained, "My mom was so excited she cried and couldn't fully express her request, so I had to do it for her. I hope you can understand."
Looking at the little girl who seemed so mature for her age, Su Huaiming couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, thank you for your support and affection, Mom."
After he finished signing his name, just as he was about to hand the pen and photo to the little girl, he heard her say, "I have one more request."
"What?"
The little girl had very delicate features, but her expression was quite cool. "Put your lip print on me, my mom likes to collect these."
Su Huaiming: "..."
To be honest, your mom's tastes are pretty wild.
Chapter 69
Su Huaiming paused for a few seconds, then smiled helplessly, "Sorry, I've already eaten my lip makeup."
Su Huaiming only wore light makeup and applied a very thin layer of lip balm, which was long gone after he had eaten breakfast.
The little girl had never seen such an honest celebrity. After staring at Su Huaiming's lips for several seconds, she nodded and said, "I understand."
He changed the subject and asked politely again, "Then could you please put on some lipstick and leave your lip print on my signature, Uncle?"
The little girl looked young, but her language skills and demeanor were quite composed. "Today is my mom's birthday, and she wants all her wishes to come true. If we don't grant her wishes, she'll keep whining and throwing tantrums, and she'll even fake cry. My dad and I can't handle her. That's why I made this presumptuous request so that I can have an easier time today. Of course, you can refuse, uncle, but I'll try my best to get it done."
Su Huaiming was stunned by these words and couldn't help but look the little girl up and down.
The little girl had delicate features, fair and tender skin, and was full of childlike innocence. She looked only a year or two older than Fu Xiaoxiao, but she was much more mature than Fu Xiaoxiao. For a moment, Su Huaiming thought he was seeing a miniature version of Ji Mingzhe.
Their temperaments and appearances are completely different, but judging from Fu Jingfan's personality, his maturity and composure as a child were no less than that of this little girl.
Su Huaiming smiled and said, "I don't have any lipstick."
The little girl nodded and didn't make any more demands. She seemed to have been going through the motions, afraid that her mother would bother her later.
This was the first time Su Huaiming had met such a child, and he couldn't help but want to chat with him a bit more. "Is your mother a fan of mine? Does she really like me?"
The little girl nodded. "Yes, you're my mom's favorite celebrity lately."
Su Huaiming seized on the key point and asked, "Does your mother still like other people?"
The little girl tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "She just watched a TV series last night and became a fan of the female lead. That makes about six celebrities in total."
"..." Su Huaiming gave a dry laugh, "Then your mother is quite loving."
Hearing this, the little girl looked up at him and said, "Yes, Mom's favorite celebrities have changed several times; she's forgotten the previous ones. She often says something like..."
What did you say?
"As long as I change quickly enough, the collapse of the house won't catch up with me." The little girl looked at Su Huaiming with her clear, bright eyes, full of curiosity, and spoke earnestly as if discussing an academic issue, "What does 'collapse of the house' mean? I can't find it in the dictionary."
