Chapter 10 Family-Friendly Variety Show I have an invitation to a family-friendly variety show…

In the simple yet elegant CEO office, Fu Yanli sat in his office chair, his arm casually draped over the black sandalwood desk.

The pale white light shone on his handsome, sculpted face, making him appear aloof and indifferent.

He heard his assistant's suggestion but did not answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No need. Let the timing decide for itself. There's no need to ask me again."

A person who refuses to explain the origins of their child shouldn't receive so much attention.

The artist evaluation department at Shixu is already operating very well and does not need his involvement.

Fu Yanli has no idea that he will soon regret his decision today.

The assistant had a lot on her mind. She thought that Jiang Shunian had finally caught the eye of their CEO, but with a child, it seemed she wouldn't be able to marry into a wealthy family.

However, he calmly replied, "Yes, Mr. Fu."

Back at the hotel, Nuonuo immediately started studying. The hotel was basic, and Nuonuo, a tiny little girl, sat on the chair, needing a cushion to reach the desk. Her earnest little face was truly heart-melting.

After watching for a while, Jiang Shunian lay on the bed in a daze, feeling both expectant and uneasy. He didn't know if Lin Yue would sign a contract with him, but he thought to himself that it was probably impossible.

But he simply couldn't bring himself to say that Nono was his biological child.

Jiang Shunian sighed.

That night, Jiang Shunian suddenly dreamed of that night four years ago, the trembling sensation he felt when the man's hot hand caressed his body. He felt as if he were trapped in an unbreakable cage, forced to endure it...

When Jiang Shunian woke up, he still felt weak all over and couldn't muster any strength.

Nono had been awake for a while, and she lay quietly in bed watching her dad sleep. When her dad woke up, she snuggled up to him and gave him a sweet, babyish kiss: "Good morning, Daddy!"

"Good morning, my sweetie." Jiang Shunian was about to scoop Nuonuo up and hug her when he suddenly froze, his movements stopping in his tracks.

He actually... because of a dream...

He was, after all, a healthy 26-year-old adult male, so it was normal for him to have such a thing happen, but the fact that it happened in front of his son still made Jiang Shunian feel a little embarrassed.

Meeting Nuonuo's innocent and naive gaze, because of the close distance, Jiang Shunian could clearly see that Nuonuo's black jade-like eyes also had a hint of dark gold, which was beautiful yet somewhat oppressive. Jiang Shunian couldn't help but wonder, were the man's eyes like that too?

What does it feel like to be stared at like that when you're feeling passionate?

He calmed his racing heart and soothed his son, "Nono, can you close your eyes?"

Nono trusted Jiang Shunian, so she immediately closed her eyes and obediently lay on the bed without moving. Jiang Shunian quickly jumped off the bed, found a change of underwear, went to the bathroom to change, and took a shower.

The hotel provides breakfast, which is just average, but Nono is a very easy child to feed; she is not picky about food and does not waste any.

Jiang Shunian felt a pang of sadness. Once he had earned enough money for Nuonuo, he would take on fewer jobs and spend more time with her.

Ran Qing paid him a generous sum of 100,000 yuan. After paying taxes, he still had a lot left. In addition, he received his salary for "Starlight for You". In just one month, he had already made a considerable amount of money.

You could consider renting a place and settling down here.

Moreover, Nuonuo is already over three years old and can be considered for kindergarten. After he finishes filming, he will need to find kindergarten information.

That afternoon, Jiang Shunian received a call from Lin Yue, who apologized and informed him that, after a thorough evaluation, they were temporarily unable to reach a cooperation agreement.

This news did not surprise Jiang Shunian, and he accepted it calmly.

The time frame requirement is high, and he's not honest, so it's normal that people won't accept him.

Lin Yue actually felt it was a pity. After all, Jiang Shunian's appearance and acting skills were top-notch for his age, but he also had many shortcomings. One was that he had a child early and was not suitable for filming idol dramas, which would cause him to lose a large number of fans. Another was that the mother of his child was unknown, which could easily cause trouble. In addition, the assistant of President Fu revealed that President Fu was not going to pay attention to him. They guessed the meaning from above and decided not to cooperate with him anymore.

When Ranqing found out, she wanted to help him get a match, but Jiang Shunian refused. Ranqing had already helped him a lot, so how could she trouble her again?

Take your time.

After the filming ended that day, Yu Yanchen called him to invite him to dinner. As soon as he arrived at the private room, Yu Yanchen pulled him aside and started complaining.

"Brother, I never thought our lousy agency would actually be taken over by someone, and a rich second-generation returnee at that." Yu Yanchen hugged Jiang Yunnuo, trying to find some comfort. "He fired a lot of freeloaders as soon as he arrived, and now he's going to interview every artist. If they don't pass, he'll terminate their contracts. I've been scheduled for the day after tomorrow!"

Yu Yanchen has been relegated to filming online dramas in recent years, without a single breakout role. His acting skills are not terrible, but they are not outstanding either, and his career has been mediocre. No matter how you look at it, he has no chance of passing the audition.

When Xu heard that Jiang Shunian had also failed to sign a contract, she almost burst into tears with Jiang Shunian.

How could those two brothers be so tragic?

Xiao Ju's face fell too: "I don't want to be unemployed, waah, bro, you don't know how hard it is for college graduates to find jobs these days!"

Jiang Shunian was also very worried.

The group was eating without tasting their food when Xiao Ju suddenly said, "Brother, does your new boss prefer men or women? How about we try to seduce him? If you succeed in taking over, Jiang Ge and I can also rise to the top!"

Yu Yanchen quickly covered Nuonuo's ears, his own ears turning slightly red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

It's shocking to think that a burly man who is 1.85 meters tall would sell his body!

Xiao Ju slumped into a chair: "Then we can only leave it to fate."

Yu Yanchen isn't the type to give up easily. His new boss knows all about his acting experience, so he can't fabricate anything. He can only spruce up his appearance. Jiang Shunian has good taste, so after dinner, she accompanied Yu Yanchen to buy a new outfit and get a new look.

It really looks brand new.

Jiang Shunian comforted Yu Yanchen, telling him that no matter whether he would be terminated from his contract, he should treat people sincerely and keep a firm look in his eyes.

On the day of the interview, Yu Yanchen took a deep breath and walked into the company gate.

Even though it was just a change of boss and the renovation hadn't even started again, Yu Yanchen somehow felt that something was different.

The corridor floor seems cleaner, and there are a few more tasteful decorative items, which clearly show the owner's refined taste.

The semi-open studio at the entrance is the new boss's female assistant, named Tatjane. She is wearing a professional suit, is tall and slender, and is both beautiful and capable.

Yu Yanchen listened to her self-introduction once, but still couldn't learn the name.

"Mr. Yu, there are still people in the boss's office. Please wait five minutes."

Yu Yanchen became even more nervous.

Five minutes later, the office door opened, and a dejected male artist walked out.

Yu Yanchen knew him. They signed contracts around the same time and their careers were pretty much the same, both barely surviving as obscure nobodies.

He glanced at Yu Yanchen, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including a sense of shared fate and comfort, clearly indicating that he felt Yu Yanchen was also going to be terminated.

Yu Yanchen is under increasing pressure.

Tatjane led Yu Yanchen to the office and closed the door behind him. Yu Yanchen looked up nervously and was momentarily stunned.

The office desks and chairs had all been replaced with unique custom-made items from a luxury brand. The items on the desks were arranged in an obsessive-compulsive manner, and there was even a handmade carpet on the floor. The exquisite design made one feel ashamed of their own appearance.

But none of these could compare to the man sitting in the office chair. He was dressed in a light gray suit and had a perfect appearance. In Yu Yanchen's opinion, only his good brother Jiang Shunian could compare to him.

What's even more remarkable is his extraordinary temperament, possessing the aloof and noble air of a young master from a prominent family; a single glance from him is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Yu Yanchen's heart skipped a beat; wow, that aura was too strong.

The other person was also sizing him up. Yu Yanchen subconsciously stood up straight. He was originally broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, and long-legged, and he also insisted on lifting weights, so his physique was better than his appearance. However, Yu Yanchen grew up in a relatively conservative family, so he generally did not take on roles that were too revealing. His usual selfies were all straight-man style silly smiles. His fans called him "Alaschen," one of the three sled dog idiots, the largest of the three breeds.

"Take off your shirt," the other person suddenly said.

Yu Yanchen instinctively clutched his chest, his face flushed red, and he muttered angrily like a bullied little wife, "What do you want to do? I don't accept unspoken rules."

Pei Qingyi: "..."

He gripped the pen in his hand and explained, "Your acting style isn't right. Let me take a look at your physique. If you want to stay, listen to my arrangements. If not, just leave."

Yu Yanchen then realized what was happening and awkwardly lowered his hand, saying, "Okay, okay."

He lifted the corner of his shirt and boldly took it off, revealing a strong and sexually stimulating body.

Pei Qingyi was caught off guard by the man's good looks and instinctively looked away.

*

Jiang Shunian had been waiting for news from Yu Yanchen, and thankfully, he received a call from him not long after, his voice filled with excitement: "Shunian, I successfully stayed, hahaha!"

"That's great!" Jiang Shunian was very happy for Yu Yanchen.

"Let me tell you, Shu Nian, the new boss has a strong presence and is just as good-looking as you. Tsk, he's obviously rich. But I thought he had a good demeanor, so I recommended you to him! Hurry up and put together a resume, and come to the company with me this afternoon, but you have to bring Nuonuo with you."

Yu Yanchen still finds it unbelievable, not knowing why he suddenly spoke up for his good brother. Perhaps he really didn't think he was a bad person.

Moreover, Jiang Shunian had helped him in the same way four years ago, so he mentioned it briefly. Unexpectedly, the other party quickly checked Jiang Shunian's information and agreed.

Jiang Shunian was also very surprised and deeply grateful: "Thank you, brother."

Although he still held little hope, after all, he couldn't be honest about Nuonuo's situation.

Jiang Shunian had previously compiled a file of his own, which he originally intended to submit to the Actors Guild in a few days, but he didn't expect to need it now.

He changed into new clothes and went to the company accompanied by Yu Yanchen.

Nuonuo was a little scared in the unfamiliar place and nestled obediently in Jiang Shunian's arms. After seeing Pei Qingyi, she bravely smiled in order to help her father get a job.

"Hello, I am actor Jiang Shunian. This is my resume." Jiang Shunian put his resume down. "This is my son, Jiang Yunnuo, who is three years and four months old this year."

"Hello, boss." Jiang Yunnuo greeted the boss in a soft, sweet voice, which was exceptionally cute.

Pei Qingyi couldn't help but smile, opened the drawer, took out a lollipop, and handed it to Jiang Yunnuo.

Jiang Yunnuo glanced at her father, and only after receiving permission did she take it, saying sweetly, "Thank you, boss."

“No need to call me boss, just call me uncle.” Pei Qingyi turned her gaze to Jiang Shunian, her voice cold. “Jiang Shunian, I’ve looked up some information about you and I know that Shi Xu contacted you before, but the cooperation didn’t work out because of the child. But that’s not a problem for me. I have an invitation to a parent-child variety show. See if you can handle it.”

After saying that, Pei Qingyi pushed a document over.
