MAX's Choice

Duncan Apartment.

"Do you want to be my sugar daddy?"

MAX asked the crucial question with a serious expression.

Adam was startled.

This is not a good question to answer.

The answer is no?

His reasons are probably mostly nonsense; a little thought will reveal the problem.

Do you have to go to such lengths to help a friend?

Of course not.

In the original timeline, Chandler was promoted to supervisor and needed an assistant. At that time, Phoebe was unemployed, and his first reaction was not to ask her to be his assistant. Moreover, after being reminded by others, he hesitated repeatedly.

This certainly includes the reason why there shouldn't be a superior-subordinate relationship between friends, but it also reveals that the help that friends can offer each other is limited.

It's only right to do what's convenient.

Even though his friend clearly didn't want to, he kept reminding him and even helped him book a lucrative job two years in advance to relieve his worries. This level of help is something that even relatives wouldn't do; it's the behavior of a true father.

MAX isn't stupid, how could he not see it?

She slapped away the God's Hand that turned Maxam into Naxan. Asking such a serious question, if you still lie through your teeth, it's insulting to her intelligence.

What is the possible answer?

That won't work either.

"Sugar daddy" is the same as "godfather" in East Country), specifically the kind that's been abused and misused.

In the United States, there's Sugar Daddy Website," which sounds quite legitimate, but it's definitely a derogatory term.

If you want to be someone's sugar daddy, it's 100% humiliating to a decent girl.

So here's the question.

The answer is either yes or no, neither is acceptable.

This is a question that could lead to certain death.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Adam's changing expression and conflicted look, MAX, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Adam immediately understood.

In his eyes, Max was a good girl, but also a bad girl.

Sometimes when playing the storyline, she'll refer to herself as a dirty girl or a naughty girl, especially a naughty girl, which is a perfect match for Sugar Daddy.

Under normal circumstances, Adam would not be fooled.

But he had just realized that he had been too unrestrained with MAX. Although MAX had made some lewd jokes to provoke him, he had indeed crossed the line.

Coupled with Max's serious demeanor, Adam felt that Max had been offended and was now serious.

That's why it took her a moment to react.

"Hahaha."

MAX laughed loudly, "Candy is my favorite food. I've always wanted a dad since I was little. Sugar Daddy is simply my God. How could I not like him?"

Snap!

Adam slapped her across the face.

Of course, I wasn't going to slap her in the face; after all, you shouldn't hit someone in the face.

"Sugar Daddy~"

Max immediately looked at Adam with teary eyes.

"Hiss."

Adam gasped, cursing inwardly, "This damned, corrupt free world!"

MAX is indeed an unprecedented Experienced Women; even after all this, she still dares to provoke Adam like this.

No doubt about it, we can't back down.

An hour later.

The night brought back the tranquility she deserved.

Adam continued reading, occasionally glancing at the fast-sleeping Max, and felt a surge of emotion.

After an hour of friendly discussion, Max agreed to Adam's suggestion and decided to continue his studies at university and help Adam after graduation.

Adam wasn't just talking offhand; the inspiration was real.

In his previous life, he had nephews, nieces, and grandnieces. For a while, the children were particularly obsessed with a little pig called Peppa. Adam had also watched some of it and even looked into it.

What impressed me most was the incredible influence of this little pig. The animation became a global hit, merchandise sold like hotcakes, and the licensing fees exceeded $1 billion annually.

Perhaps only Harry Potter is more impressive than this.

However, the cost of adapting Harry Potter into a film or television series far exceeded that of Peppa Pig.

What does Peppa Pig have?

It's just a cheap cartoon.

Of course, like Harry Potter, Peppa Pig's popularity is largely due to its promotion.

But no hit product can exist without some solid inherent strength.

Her humorous dialogue style and highly educational ghost story plots have won over not only children but also parents, which is the foundation for her worldwide popularity.

Adam plans to first sort out the plot, then have MAX draw it, and finally publish it to secure the copyright.

As for whether the animated film will be licensed to others or produced in-house, we'll see later.

Aside from MAX's salary and the fact that he needs to use his brain a little to recall and think things through, there are absolutely no costs involved.

But if it succeeds in the future, it will definitely be a cash cow.

A billion dollars in annual revenue, converted into a publicly traded company, would have a market capitalization of tens of billions of dollars. And when converted into share value, it would be even more valuable than investing in Apple or Google.

Why wouldn't he do something with such low investment and high returns, which could also help MAX change his fate?

Moreover, his choice of MAX was not entirely impulsive.

MAX is not without advantages; on the contrary, she has many advantages.

The loyalty I mentioned before was only half true.

Indeed, he can hire people and use contracts to bind them, which can basically prevent plagiarism and piracy from appearing before the original.

But if you can use someone more loyal, why not?

Furthermore, Peppa Pig is aimed at young children, so the storyline and art style must be suitable.

Adam had only seen some of it, not the whole thing, so he could only provide an outline and the beginning. The rest of the content would have to be completed by someone else.

This person needs to have drawing skills, a sense of humor, and a childlike heart that empathizes with others.

Max, with his Wushuang sharp tongue and raunchy humor, is certainly not a suitable style for children's books, but that doesn't deny that Max has a great sense of humor.

The reason she evolved into being sarcastic and vulgar is because she was forced by life to use this method to protect herself, just like Chandler's self-deprecation and lifting Susie's skirt.

If Max were given a choice and a chance to change, Adam believes her scathing remarks could be transformed into humor that children and parents alike would enjoy.

This leads to another requirement: a childlike heart that puts others' feelings in others' shoes.

Asking someone who writes harem stories to write pure love stories is making things difficult for Fat Tiger.

Without a childlike heart that empathizes with others, no matter how brilliant your writing is, children won't even read it, because the world they see is completely different.

Does MAX have a childlike heart?

It is obvious that it exists.

Without Adam, she would be babysitting for a rich lady, making her own mother look utterly worthless in comparison.

And she still really likes children's cartoons like Robot Doll.

Loyalty, humor, and childlike innocence are all exceptional talents for MAX. The only thing he lacks is drawing skills, which is something that can be acquired through hard work.

Peppa Pig became a sensation after 2010, which is more than a decade ago, and its popularity was largely due to the rise of short videos.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with the timing.

With so many advantages and being Adam's good friend, what does it matter if Max wastes a few years waiting for her?
