Chapter 227, Part 2

227:

After his birthday, the recording of the new episode of "Look the Daddy" began. The production team saw Mu Shaowu's Weibo post and knew that Ye Qingxi had just celebrated his birthday. They specially prepared a birthday surprise for him on the show, allowing the other children to celebrate a birthday with him as if it were a birthday celebration provided by the production team.

Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu were both somewhat surprised by this.

Viewers in the live stream praised the production team for being warm and humane, unlike other production teams that only know how to gain popularity through drama.

Upon seeing this, Mu Feng, unusually, praised her, saying, "Well done."

Wang Dao humbly replied, "Of course, of course."

Once this episode is finished, the pre-recorded episode of "Look the Daddy" will be officially released online.

Before its official launch, the production team specially invited the father and baby to record the theme song together.

This recording immediately revealed Mu Shaowu's singing skills.

The dads said: No wonder you're so popular, even your sister doesn't ask you to sing for her.

Sure enough, his younger sister understands him better!

Fortunately, the production team hired a sound engineer worth millions, which ultimately saved Mu Shaowu's image.

However, compared to him, Ye Qingxi's singing became all the more amazing.

In Wang Dao's words, it was "like hearing celestial music, instantly clearing the ears."

Director Wang couldn't help but exclaim: "They're both siblings, so why is there such a big difference in their singing?"

Fortunately, Xiao Xi isn't his biological son, so he didn't inherit his father's singing voice!

The theme song was recorded, and "Look the Daddy" was officially released three days later!

After the broadcast, Ye Qingxi quickly became popular. People who had not watched the live broadcast before became his fans after seeing him and his performance on the show.

Some children, after seeing how he took care of He Lei, became his little sister fans, pointing at Ye Qingxi on TV and asking their mothers, "Can you give me a brother like that too?"

Mom: ...Is it possible that the baby will be a younger brother?

As a result, Ye Qingxi became a celebrity throughout the school as soon as school started in September.

One by one, his classmates curiously gathered around him and asked, "Ye Qingxi, is recording the show fun?"

"Ye Qingxi, is the place you went to really that poor?"

"Does your dad really know how to cook? My dad doesn't."

"You're a minor celebrity now, can you give me your autograph?"

Ye Qingxi looked at the little boy beside her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He signed autographs for each student who wanted them and answered their questions one by one.

Fortunately, children's interest comes and goes quickly. After a month, they lost interest in the little star Ye Qingxi and returned to their previous state.

However, since they had already spoken, and some even got Ye Qingxi's autograph, they would inevitably greet each other, walk together, and chat when they bumped into each other on the street.

Without realizing it, Ye Qingxi became the most popular person in the class.

She was even voted as the arts and culture representative in the new semester's election.

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

He doesn't remember signing up for any class officer elections at all!

In response, the classmates argued vehemently, "He sings well, his aunt is a singer, and he's even sung with her on TV. There's no one in the class more suitable to be the arts and culture representative than him!"

Even the previous arts and culture committee member couldn't help but speak up for him, saying, "I listened to his singing, and I can't sing as well as he does. Plus, I really like his aunt. So I think he should be the one."

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi simply couldn't believe that after the World Championship next year, the position of arts and culture committee member would be stuck to him!

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, the homeroom teacher called Ye Qingxi to the office and asked him if he would like to be the arts and culture representative.

Ye Qingxi thought about it and decided it was a good idea.

The main problem is that if things don't go well this year, I feel like I won't be able to escape it next year either.

And so, at the start of the new semester, Ye Qingxi successfully went from being an ordinary student to a class leader.

Not to be outdone, Pei Liang also took on the role of class monitor.

He ranked second in his class, and since Ye Qingxi, who ranked first, didn't participate, he naturally received a high number of votes.

Zhong Yan and Kang Cong: ...Do we really have to put so much pressure on people right at the start of the new semester?! Are we trying to kill them?!

Zhong Yankang glanced at the other, feeling a mutual appreciation, realizing that only the other understood them!

With the children starting school, the recording of the show was naturally postponed. As a result, the recording of the final episode didn't finally begin until the National Day holiday in October.

In the final episode, the production team didn't take everyone to a remote village like in the previous episodes. Instead, they took everyone to a small town, where they started a new format.

"I'm the little boss!" the host announced. "In this episode, each child can manage a shop and become a little boss. During filming, the little bosses need to run their shops well, while the dads need to be their employees and cooperate with them. In the end, whoever earns the most money wins! The champion will receive a surprise prize from the production team!"

The babies immediately became excited upon hearing this.

Tao Tao was the first to raise his hand, "I want to be the owner of a convenience store so I can eat lots of snacks!"

“Then I want to own a flower shop,” He Lei said sweetly.

"I want to own a toy store!" Zhang Ning shouted.

The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter: [Looks like everyone really wants to be a small business owner!]

Who didn't want to be a small business owner when they were a kid? I still want to be a boss now!

Why isn't Xiaoxi saying anything? What small business owner is Xiaoxi thinking of?

Ye Qingxi: ...Whether it's possible or not, he doesn't need to think about it; he already is.

He currently owns one company and one store.

"Now let's draw lots to determine everyone's boss status~" The host smiled and asked the staff for a lottery box.

Zhang Ning eagerly went to draw a card, while Ye Qingxi waited until everyone else had finished before he went to draw.

"What kind of shop?" Mu Shaowu asked curiously.

Ye Qingxi: ...It's pretty good, a good match for my major.

Ye Qingxi looked up at her father, "Stir-fry restaurant."

Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu once again felt that his father was really farsighted; no wonder he was able to develop their family group so well.

"Your grandfather is indeed your grandfather," Mu Shaowu said in a low voice.

Ye Qingxi nodded; he agreed.

If it weren't for his grandfather, his father would probably be having a headache right now.

Thank you, Grandpa!

Once everyone had drawn lots and received their identities, the host led them to his shop.

Like Ye Qingxi, Zhang Ning also drew a stir-fry restaurant.

Tao Tao drew the bakery.

He Lei drew the bookstore.

Yang Shu, who wanted to be a small bookstore owner, drew the lottery number for the convenience store.

Huo Zinan drew the flower shop.

These shops are all on the same street, and the production team had already rented them. Now they are all being run by the dads and babies.

After showing the shops one by one, the host said, "This time we're not going to fight over houses; all the dads and babies will stay in hotels. Aren't you all happy?"

"Happy!" the babies exclaimed.

Tao Rui and Tao Tao were especially happy, because, in the five attempts to buy the house, their best result was third place!

I've never lived in a particularly nice house!

Now everyone can stay in hotels directly, Tao Rui almost jumped for joy!

"Great! This is really great!" Tao Rui exclaimed in his heart.

The viewers in the live stream laughed out loud: [It's clear everyone's really afraid of the housing rush!]

[Mu Shaowu is just too overpowered! It's so discouraging!]

[That's right! At first, everyone was vying for first place, but later it became all about securing second place!]

If I were any other dad, I'd be happy too!

Seeing everyone laughing happily, the host laughed too, "Then everyone stay close. If you get lost or can't find the hotel, I won't be responsible!"

Upon hearing this, the babies immediately walked behind him and followed him forward.

The production team had already booked the hotel when they finalized the shop selection.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the host announced, "After the dads and babies have put away their luggage, they can go and run their own little shops. Good luck to all the little business owners!"

"Keep it up!" the viewers in the live stream cheered them on.

Ye Qingxi followed Mu Shaowu into the elevator, and after putting down their luggage, the two headed straight for their small shop.

This is indeed a small shop, with only eight tables inside, four for sitting and four for sitting on the right. Each table is equipped with four stools, so at most, it can seat 32 people.

The store has probably been cleaned to make it easier to open.

Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu went to check out the kitchen. The kitchen was very clean, the vegetables and meat were very fresh, and all the seasonings were readily available.

"Not bad," Mu Shaowu commented. "As long as people come, we can start making money right away."

"Mm," Ye Qingxi replied.

Next, the question is how to get the guests in!

It wasn't mealtime yet, so Ye Qingxi didn't rush to attract customers. Instead, she went to the production crew to borrow paper and a marker.

"Dad, how come you cook dishes without any effort?" Ye Qingxi asked.

“Hmm…” Mu Shaowu thought for a moment, “As long as it doesn’t require deep-frying or double-frying, it’s not too much work.”

"Then let's have scrambled eggs with tomatoes and Mapo tofu," Ye Qingxi said. "These two are more home-style dishes, and one doesn't have chili peppers so kids can eat it, while the other has chili peppers so adults can eat it. They're also both good with rice."

"Okay." Mu Shaowu looked at him. "What are you going to do?"

What kind of crazy idea is his son coming up with this time?

Ye Qingxi picked up a marker and began to write:

Mapo tofu + rice = 9.9

[Scrambled eggs with tomatoes + rice = 9.9]

Mapo tofu + scrambled eggs with tomatoes + rice (2) = 15.9

Limited quantities available, first come, first served!

"Okay." Ye Qingxi picked it up and showed it to Mu Shaowu.

Mu Shaowu looked at it and thought it was indeed quite cheap. However, considering the prices in the town, this price was actually not a loss, and there was even a profit to be made.

"It's basically just a rice bowl," Ye Qingxi explained to her father, "but writing it out separately makes it go from one to two, which seems like a much better deal."

Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?

Mu Shaowu was surprised: He actually knew this!

The viewers in the live stream were even more surprised than him: [That's exactly right! My goodness! Xiaoxi, you're so smart!]

What's wrong with his little brain?!

No wonder Tao Tao wanted his brains; they were definitely worth it, they're really useful.

While other babies are still busy daydreaming, our little Xi has already started taking action!

[As expected of Xiaoxi! The dishes she chose were excellent! Suitable for all ages, perfect for this kind of small restaurant!]

[Mu Shaowu's stir-fried dishes are only 9.9 yuan! I'm tempted to go eat there!]

Who isn't? [crying]
