When Fang Nuonuo saw the little boy, she knew her assistant had messed things up!
Where did you find this weirdo?!
She just wanted to get the process done as quickly as possible and get the child out of there!
She smiled gently, "Aren't you a student from the class I taught yesterday? Did you come here to find me because you missed me?"
Xiaoqiang nodded. " Teacher Fang, I really, really miss you!"
Fang Nuonuo looked guilty. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to stop teaching so soon, but I was scammed. It's a complicated matter... The relevant departments are investigating now. Once they've finished their investigation, I will definitely go back to teach you."
[Ahhh, you can tell the goddess really put her heart into teaching! That's why the child traveled all the way from the deep mountains to find her!]
[Yeah, yeah, do kids lie? This goddess is different from those mass-produced online influencers who do volunteer teaching! She's kind-hearted, she was just deceived!]
But... this kid... is obviously... lying...
[Mom, I've made it big! I used to be unable to tell who acted well and who acted poorly when watching TV dramas, but now I really can! This kid's acting is terrible!]
No wonder my mom would kick me a couple more times when I deliberately acted like that when I was little; it was really that obvious...
Fang Nuonuo also knew that this person was a little oddball.
She also noticed that not far away, an old man and a man were standing there, frantically taking photos and videos of the child with their mobile phones.
She glanced down at the message her assistant had sent.
"The elderly woman is the child's grandmother, and she insisted on coming along. The man is the child's father, and he works here. When he heard that his son was going to be on TV, he also insisted on coming."
Fang Nuonuo took a deep breath.
This assistant is useless! Replace him tonight!
All she wants now is to get rid of this weirdo.
She quickly called to her assistant, "Could you please take the child back?"
The assistant nodded and went over to take Xiaoqiang's hand.
But Xiaoqiang shoved him away.
Grandma just said this place could be on TV!
Appearing on TV can make you a big star, or at the very least, you can make money by live streaming!
That's why Xiaoqiang is unwilling to leave now!
He suddenly slumped onto the table where the guests were sitting.
She tilted her head, poked her cheek with her finger, and said in a nasal voice, "Big giegie, big purple, tsk, what are you doing?"
Seeing that no one responded, he suddenly let out a strange "hmm" sound.
Everyone looked at him with a bewildered expression.
Xiaoqiang made two more "uh-huh" sounds, then puffed out his cheeks and said, "When I'm nervous, I burp."
His father and grandmother stood beside him with kind smiles on their faces.
This character was something the two of them came up with for their son when they were in the car earlier.
They both agreed that studying and going to university these days doesn't guarantee a job, so becoming a live streamer, an internet celebrity, or a star is much more lucrative.
A few years ago, they even sent their child to audition for child models, but they never expected to be scammed.
The child modeling agency took their registration fees and then ran away.
Now that I finally have the chance to be on TV, I'm determined to become a huge star and leave a lasting impression on the audience.
They discovered that masculine boys are no longer popular online; instead, sweet, soft, and adorable boys are all the rage.
So I gave him some quick training, teaching him how to burp.
They quickly went online to see if everyone was praising their son/grandson for being cute.
[Let's go home. Please. Let's go home.]
[Help! Why do I see greasy skin on a boy who looks about ten years old?!]
He reminded me of someone I used to know... Eating a peach feels so refreshing...
(Tapping the table) You're too old to act cute anymore!
How about trying some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body?
Qiangzi's dad smiled with satisfaction after reading it.
Nobody's complaining at all!
Everyone is concerned about his son and is even offering to recommend medicine to him!
-
The guests on that show wouldn't be able to do anything to the children, as that could easily lead to the show being banned.
Yin Xiaohong stepped in to calm things down, pulling Qiangzi away. "Come here, baby, I'll take you to buy some Kinder Surprise eggs."
Qiangzi's dad and Qiangzi immediately shook their heads at Qiangzi!
Don't go! Leaving now will mean missing out on a huge hit!
But Qiangzi couldn't resist the temptation of Kinder Surprise eggs; they're quite expensive.
His father and grandmother couldn't bear to buy him food every day.
He still went with Yin Xiaohong.
Qiangzi's father and Qiangzi exchanged a glance.
It doesn't matter!
If all else fails, I'll just finish eating the Kinder Surprise eggs and keep going on TV!
Fang Nuonuo breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally gotten rid of this plague.
The group continued discussing the framework of the series.
After the decision was made, Cheng Qin and Yu Liqi stayed behind to break down the framework, Fang Nuonuo and Gu Yichen went to select costumes for the actors, Su Mian and Duan Xuanyu went to prepare the filming location, and Duan Hongxu was on standby, going wherever he was needed.
-
Su Mian and Duan Xuanyu searched for a while, and suddenly saw Qiangzi running towards them with an egg-shaped chocolate in his hand.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Where is Teacher Fang? I went back just now but couldn't find Teacher Fang."
Su Mian smiled slightly, "Here, I'll give you her number. You can call her."
[That's awful! [Laughing while covering face] He finds kids annoying, so he recommends them to the enemy.]
[Haha, I love this shameless, irresponsible Sister Mian! I feel uncomfortable if I don't act shamelessly every day!]
Qiangzi blinked his small eyes. "Zi, I don't have a phone. Could you take me to find Teacher Fang?"
Su Mian: "No."
"Take me with you, take me with you!" Qiangzi pouted.
Holding his hand, which was covered in chocolate stains, she reached for Su Mian's pure white dress.
Su Mian dodged to the side.
Duan Xuanyu stood in front of Su Mian, looking down at Qiangzi.
Qiangzi was startled.
For some reason, even though the man in front of him hadn't said a word, just looking down at him made his legs go weak with fear.
Suddenly, he burst into tears, pointing at Duan Xuanyu and saying, "He hit me, he hit me..."
[Holy crap? I can vouch for them! There was no fighting! We were watching the live stream, they didn't even touch!]
[Making things difficult for a stranger, then begging and pleading when they refuse—but it's not cute at all! And then you accuse them of something just because your attempt at cuteness failed? How can you be so mean!]
[It must have been his parents who taught him to do it; seeing the camera there, they made their kid come out and perform!]
Duan Xuanyu raised his hand.
The best way to deal with being wrongly accused is to actually do the thing yourself.
Just as he was about to throw a punch, Su Mian pulled him back.
Su Mian beckoned with her finger, Duan Xuanyu immediately bent down and leaned close to listen to her speak.
Su Mian whispered, "When no one's watching, it's fine to hit a child. But now that the cameras are on, it's easy to get blackmailed if you hit a child."
Duan Xuanyu: "He's disgusting, I want to tear his mouth apart."
Su Mian glanced towards Qiangzi.
Qiangzi was clearly faking his tears, while secretly watching their reactions.
Meanwhile, Qiangzi's grandmother and father were chatting and plotting something not far away, and they happened not to be looking this way at that moment.
"It's not our place to teach him a lesson," Su Mian said, then walked towards Qiangzi's grandmother and father.
