Assistant Fang, who followed the boss in, originally wanted to remind the boss that his wife and daughter had come to the company. But when he came in, he saw that there was no one in the office. As he was searching around, he heard a baby voice coming from the office chair saying that his salary would be deducted.
Fang Tezhu was immediately happy.
Assistant Fang was very conscious. He stepped out of the door, raised his hand and knocked on it a few times, then came in and said, "Excuse me, little boss Nian Nian, is there anything I can do for you?"
Nian Nian sat in her father's boss chair, looked at the two employees below and said, "I'm not a small boss, I'm the big boss."
Special Assistant Fang: “…”
Listening to his daughter's sweet voice, Jiang Chen's headache was gone. He was quite surprised and delighted and asked, "Why is Nian Nian here? Where's Mom?"
Shen Mingyou, who was in the lounge, happened to hear the noise here. She came out and saw her daughter wearing her father's glasses and pretending to be a big boss.
It seems like he has the potential to be a big boss.
Assistant Fang went out tactfully. Jiang Chen was originally very surprised about the arrival of his wife and daughter, but when he heard that his wife was going on a business trip and was here to leave their daughter Nian Nian to him, Jiang Chen suddenly lost his temper.
Considering his experience of taking care of a baby alone on the show last time, Jiang Chen was not very confident about taking care of Nian Nian alone.
If Nian Nian behaved in a "rebellious" manner again like last time, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.
In the past, Jiang Chen felt that nothing in the world could stump him, but now, he knew that he had no way to deal with his wife and daughter.
Lingyu Building has its own cafeteria. Jiang Chen rarely goes there to eat. He usually asks his assistant to get meals from the cafeteria and deliver them to his office.
But today, the cafeteria of Lingyu Building has a new beautiful scenery.
Jiang Chen held Nian Nian in his arms and brought Shen Mingyou all the way to the cafeteria.
The employees who were eating in the cafeteria suddenly became noisy. They had received information a long time ago that the boss's wife had brought her daughter to the company, but they had not seen it with their own eyes. Now they saw that the boss was like a god descending from heaven. Not only did he come to the cafeteria to eat in person, but he also brought his wife and daughter with him. The employees called the boss a good boss in their hearts.
Jiang Chen didn't know what the employees were thinking. After settling Nian Nian and his wife, he went to the window alone to order food. When he came back after buying the food, he saw that the place where his wife and daughter were sitting was surrounded by a crowd.
The employees, who usually acted like mice seeing a cat when seeing the boss, now acted as if they couldn't see him at all. They all gathered around him and asked Shen Mingyou for his autographs.
Jiang Chen: “…”
"Madam boss, my wife is your fan, can you please sign an autograph for me?"
"Xiao Niannian, I'm your aunt's fan, can I take a photo with aunt?"
A young-looking male employee saw that he couldn't squeeze in, so he could only shout from the outside: "Sister Youzi, I like you so much! I will always support you!"
"Tell me, who do you like?" The young male employee turned around and was shocked to see the big boss standing behind him.
I was so excited that I forgot the boss was still here.
The young male employee's face fell. "I, I mean, I like the show "Super Mom" and I will always support the mothers and children in this show in the future."
Jiang Chen snorted softly.
The male employee ran away quickly as if he had been pardoned.
After Shen Mingyou signed, the food was almost cold, so Jiang Chen had to go and get another one.
"The employees in your company are quite interesting." Shen Mingyou was eating, thinking of those people who were dressed conservatively but almost stepped on the cafeteria table to get their autographs.
Jiang Chen: "I think they are just too idle. I guess they are all slacking off and watching live broadcasts during work."
Shen Mingyou said with a smile: "Are you a black-hearted boss? You even want to control your employees if they touch the fish."
Jiang Chen thought he needed to explain his entrepreneurial image to his wife: "According to the survey, Lingyu has the lowest turnover rate among companies in the same industry, and it is also the company that many young graduates dream of entering."
Ling Yu is famous for his good treatment, but Jiang Chen also has high demands on his employees.
Nian Nian, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly spoke up: "So, is Dad a good boss?"
Jiang Chen was very confident: "Of course."
Nian Nian, who hadn't played the big boss game enough, said, "Then Nian Nian can also be a good boss. I will give everyone money, lots of money."
Nian Nian knew that a good boss should pay his employees, the more the better.
Jiang Chen: “…”
The Lingyu employees who were having dinner not far from the family of three actually tilted their ears to listen to their conversation. Although they couldn't hear clearly, they could still get the general idea by piecing together what they said.
Soon, in all the major employee groups, an exciting piece of good news was forwarded by Lingyu employees -
[Shock! President Xiao Jiang is eager to replace President Da Jiang, to provide benefits and money for employees, and to strive to make every employee of Lingyu live a financially free life!]
[Thank you Mr. Xiao Jiang!]
[Thank you Mr. Xiao Jiang!]
Then, all major employee communication groups were flooded with messages like “Thank you, Mr. Xiao Jiang”.
**
After finishing lunch, Shen Mingyou handed Nian Nian to Jiang Chen, and then went to the airport and flew to S City.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, she arrived at a hotel in S City to audition for the leading female role in the TV series "Conscience".
The auditions are divided into two days, this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Those who audition this afternoon are all newcomers who have never acted in any TV dramas and are basically unknown. Those who audition tomorrow are actors and actresses who have received invitations to audition for the leading female role and are already very popular in the circle.
Shen Mingyou was scheduled to audition this afternoon.
When she arrived, most of the other auditioning actors had already arrived, and Shen Mingyou was the last one in line.
It was from four o'clock to six o'clock before it was Shen Mingyou's turn to audition.
After she entered, she saw Director Qin Song sitting in the middle, and Qin Song obviously recognized her at a glance.
Qin Song had just seen Shen Mingyou's name on the audition list not long ago. It was added there temporarily by the producer.
The producer has this right, and Qin Song will not say much, but he will never agree to use the actor Shen Mingyou.
Qin Song has conflicting feelings towards Shen Mingyou. He has seen Shen Mingyou's graduation drama and her grades in school. He has also carefully studied the few vase roles Shen Mingyou played after her debut. He always feels that Shen Mingyou should not be like this. There should be more to explore on her path as an actor, rather than just stopping at being a so-called vase beauty.
So five years ago, he went against public opinion and gave the leading female role of his TV series to Shen Mingyou, but Shen Mingyou eventually quit the role.
What Qin Song disliked most in his life was actors who couldn't stand any setbacks or endure any hardship.
He has always been brooding over Shen Mingyou's resignation from the entertainment industry. Now that Shen Mingyou has made a comeback and wants to act in his play again, it won't be so easy.
Moreover, the leading female role in this drama requires very high acting skills, and Shen Mingyou is simply unable to play this role.
"Mingyou, this is a short clip from the audition. Take a look at it and you can act when you're ready." Seeing that the director didn't say anything, the producer had to step up and take control.
Like the director, the producer actually did not think that Shen Mingyou would pass the audition. He gave Yu Zhenchun the script invitation because he wanted to invite Shen Mingyou to play the second female lead. As for the first female lead, with Shen Mingyou's acting skills, she would definitely not be able to play that role.
But he received a call from Yu Zhen and learned that Shen Mingyou wanted to audition for the female lead. The producer understood that Shen Mingyou's audition would not change the final audition result at all. In this case, why not give her a favor? It would be a waste of time to audition anyway.
The content of the audition on the small piece of paper that Shen Mingyou received seemed to have nothing to do with the play "Asking the Sky".
There are only a few dialogues in it, involving men, women, old and young, and it is obvious that there is no one here who can act opposite her.
There was too little information, and Shen Mingyou could only act out this scene based on her understanding of these lines and her instinct as an actor.
Qin Song originally had his eyes closed.
But as soon as Shen Mingyou opened his mouth, he opened his eyes and looked at Shen Mingyou who was playing four roles on the stage.
She did some voice changing and the old man's voice was very subtle. When he closed his eyes just now, I almost thought the person who was speaking was an elderly person.
Then there was the voice of a young man. This voice was both male and female, so it was not easy to distinguish, but the unique tone of a young man could still be easily heard.
More importantly, her facial expression changes with the character she is portrayed in. As soon as an elderly person finishes speaking, her expression switches to the refreshing and sunny expression that a young person should have. The change is extremely natural, and her micro-expressions are handled very delicately.
The director, assistant director and producer, who originally did not take Shen Mingyou's audition seriously, immediately had a different light in their eyes after Shen Mingyou started performing.
After Shen Mingyou's final performance, she stood on the stage waiting for the interviewer's comments.
Qin Song finally spoke up: "You've been out of the entertainment industry for a few years. Have you been studying acting?"
Shen Jiudu Mingyou said: "I have been learning all the time."
She hasn't acted since she retired from the entertainment industry, but she has never stopped learning. She has watched those classic movies countless times, trying to understand the characters' psychology and analyzing the actors' expressions, movements and performances frame by frame. She even read a lot of reference books, but of course it was of no use.
But her previous learning is not useless to her. For example, after getting the script now, she can quickly understand the characters and analyze their psychological processes just from some dialogues and scenes. She can even quickly put herself into the role and think about what kind of movements and facial expressions would be most appropriate if she were to perform the role herself.
"Go back and wait for notification." Qin Song waved his hand, neither saying that the audition was successful nor that it was unsuccessful.
After the audition, the lights were already on. Shen Mingyou headed to the hotel. Sitting in the car, she resisted the urge to call Nian Nian.
Handing Nian Nian over to Jiang Chen is to let Nian Nian get used to being with her father, and also to be separated from her mother. In the future, her work will become busier and busier, and the time spent apart from Nian Nian will become more and more frequent. Both she and Nian Nian need to get used to it.
She has great confidence in her daughter and believes that Nian Nian will do well.
Nian Nian, who was trusted by her mother, was still staying in the company with her father at this time.
Dad has to work overtime, and Nian Nian is a bit bored.
She opened the office door.
The young female secretary who had been told to take good care of Nian Nian outside did not disturb her when she saw Nian Nian come out. Instead, she followed behind Mr. Jiang. She only needed to ensure her safety and did not need to worry about anything else.
Xiao Jiang always thought that he decided to check on his father's company to see if everyone was still at get off work at this time, just like his father.
Overtime is common in some departments of Lingyu, but the boss pays very generous overtime wages, and employees are not very averse to overtime.
When Nian Nian followed the elevator and patrolled all the way to the twelfth floor, she found that the floor was brightly lit, as if many employees were working overtime.
As soon as she walked in, she smelled a particularly fragrant fragrance.
"What is this?" Nian Nian came to a workstation and saw a box of food on an employee's desk. The fragrance was coming from the box.
Smells so good.
When Nian Nian was recording a program, she once saw the staff behind the scenes eating this. She smelled the flavor and asked her mother what the staff were eating and why it smelled so good and looked so delicious.
As a result, my mother said that the food only smelled good but didn’t taste good at all and was not healthy, so Nian Nian couldn’t eat it.
Although Nian Nian listened to her mother's words, she became more curious about this kind of food that was said to only smell particularly fragrant but tasted not delicious at all.
A programmer who was working overtime and writing code suddenly heard a baby voice. He stood up and looked over, and found a little kid hiding in the space in front of his workstation. It was Mr. Jiang who had just taken office today.
"This is instant noodles. Hasn't Mr. Jiang ever eaten it?" the programmer asked, pointing at the barrel of instant noodles.
Nian Nian shook her head. She used to live abroad and didn’t meet many people. She had never seen anyone eat this thing. Now that she has returned to China, she has seen people eat it, but she has never tasted it.
Nian Nian asked him, "Do you still have this?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the young boss was interested in instant noodles, the programmer opened his cabinet to show Nian Nian. It was filled with instant noodles, all of which he had stockpiled today.
The supermarket happened to be having a promotion today, buying a bucket of instant noodles would give a bag of instant noodles for free, that is, buy one, get one free. He had just cooked the bucket of instant noodles, and the free bag of instant noodles was just thrown on his desk by him.
Nian Nian blinked: "Do you eat this every day?" Didn't mom say that this is unhealthy and should not be eaten?
The programmer who loves instant noodles nodded and said, "I eat it every day."
"Well, can you sell me a pack?" Nian Nian pointed at the pack of instant noodles that was casually thrown on the table. "Just this pack, okay?"
Programmer: “…”
The boss's daughter actually wanted to buy something from him? And it was just a small pack of instant noodles as a gift?
"It's OK," the programmer shook his head, but he still felt something was wrong.
"Here's the money." Seeing that he agreed, Nian Nian immediately took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to him. When she went out, she always carried a small bag with her. Her mother would put some money in it for her. When she wanted to buy something, Nian Nian would spend the money.
"No, no, this is free." The programmer was flattered and said, it was just a pack of ordinary instant noodles, how could he dare to take money from the little boss.
"Yes." Nian Nian gave him the money reluctantly. Her mother had said that one should not take other people's things without permission. She had the money and could buy it, so it wasn't taking without permission.
Seeing that the boss was so insistent, the programmer had no choice but to accept it with reluctance.
But that hundred-dollar bill was enough to buy two boxes of instant noodles, so the programmer had to go around asking colleagues for change. He never carried cash with him and always paid with his cell phone. Other colleagues didn't have much change either, so after scraping together enough change, he finally managed to get enough.
Nian Nian put the change she got back into her bag, but there was no place to put the packet of instant noodles. Nian Nian somehow felt in her heart that this thing must not be seen by her parents, otherwise it would be confiscated.
So, I have to hide it secretly and not let my dad know.
Nian Nian took out the change from her bag and stuffed the bag of instant noodles into her small bag. Fortunately, the bag of instant noodles was not big and fit in perfectly. After zipping up the bag, the small bag became bulging and nothing else could fit in.
Nian Nian folded up the change in her hand and put it in her pocket.
She looked at the bag that was spread across her belly and patted it cherishingly.
The programmer looked at Xiao Nian Nian's serious expression and suddenly felt that what she put into her bag might not be a packet of instant noodles, but a priceless jewelry necklace.
After Nian Nian finished her inspection and left with a satisfied look on her bulging belly, the programmer excitedly posted this matter to the employee communication group.
[The boss' daughter is so adorable, I'm almost melted by her.]
[However, I dared not take money from Xiao Jiang, but she insisted on giving it to me. She was so polite. She also stuffed the pack of instant noodles into the small bag she was carrying. It was obvious that she really liked the pack of instant noodles.]
[Although I don’t know much about luxury goods, I still recognize that brand of bags. It seems that the lady boss has just become the spokesperson for the brand. A small bag like that must cost a lot of money. I suddenly feel that my instant noodles have become much more classy.]
The programmer then boasted in the group:
[Hey, I don’t know what magical power my instant noodles have that the little boss actually took a fancy to them.]
After he finished getting excited, other employees in the group began to express their own thoughts:
[Xiao Jiang seems to be less than four years old. Generally speaking, four-year-old babies are not allowed to eat instant noodles, right?]
[From a person who has watched all the live broadcasts of "Super Mom", it seems that the boss lady once stopped her daughter from eating instant noodles during the live broadcast of the program. If you sell instant noodles to the small boss without permission, be careful that the big boss will investigate~]
Programmer: “……?”
Is there such a thing?
How would the programmer know that such a young child couldn't eat instant noodles? He just thought Xiao Nian Nian was so cute, so if she wanted to buy it, he would sell it to her. Not to mention selling it to her, he could just give her a cabinet full of instant noodles. As for the rest, he didn't think too much about it.
The programmer was in tears, wondering if he could go find Mr. Jiang and buy back his pack of instant noodles. He was willing to pay ten times the price!
But considering how precious Xiao Nian Nian was to that bag of instant noodles, I guess I won’t be able to buy it back.
After Nian Nian returned to her father's office on the top floor, Jiang Chen had almost finished his work. Since Nian Nian was here today, he didn't plan to work overtime too late.
"Niannian, let's go home." He picked up Nianan. Niannian was afraid that the instant noodles in her bag would be crushed, so she quickly moved her bag away and stayed away from her father.
Jiang Chen saw how much his daughter treasured the little bag. He touched it and heard a rustling sound of a plastic bag coming from the bag.
"Niannian, what's in here?"
"Nothing." She moved her bag back without any hesitation, avoiding her father's hand.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, his little bag was bulging, but there was nothing?
But seeing that his daughter didn't want him to know, he didn't intend to explore it. The little girl also has her own secrets.
Nian Nian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her father didn't ask any more questions.
After returning home and taking a shower, it was almost time for bed.
Nian Nian misses her mother a little.
Just when she wanted to call her mother, her mother called.
As soon as the video was connected, Nian Nian saw her mother's face.
"Niannian, have you seen your mother?" Shen Mingyou asked on the video. "Do you miss your mother?"
Nian Nian nodded: "I thought about it."
"When will Mom come back?" It was fine when I didn't hear my mother's voice, but now that I hear her voice, I miss her even more.
Shen Mingyou said, "Mom will be back tomorrow, Nian Nian, sleep well tonight and listen to Dad, okay?"
"Okay." Nian Nian nodded.
The mother and daughter chatted for a few more sentences on the phone. When Nian Nian heard her mother say that she loved her, she hung up the video call with satisfaction.
Jiang Chen, who had no chance to get a word in, was thinking about waiting for his wife to finish talking to his daughter before answering the call. He looked at the disconnected video and said, "..."
"Why did the video hang up?"
Nian Nian innocently said: "He hung up after he finished speaking. Old Du"
"Dad hasn't told me yet." Jiang Chen scratched his daughter's nose.
"Dad, what do you want to say?" Nian Nian said, "Next time Nian Nian will help you say it."
“……”Forget it then.
Jiang Chen hugged his daughter into the quilt: "You can go to sleep now."
Nian Nian opened her big round eyes, looked at her father and suddenly said, "Dad, Nian Nian is hungry."
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Chen was not very experienced in taking care of Nian Nian, and didn't know if Nian Nian had the habit of eating before going to bed at night. He took out a small notebook that his wife had prepared for him when she left. On it were written some things that needed to be paid attention to when taking care of Nian Nian. He flipped through it and found that this point was not written on it.
But since the child is hungry, he can't go to sleep hungry.
"Daddy will make you some milk, okay?" Jiang Chen asked.
Nian Nian said, "I don't want to drink milk."
"Then what do you want to eat?" Jiang Chen wondered whether he should call the chef and ask them to make something for Nian Nian.
Nian Nian finally found the opportunity. She took out the small bag she had hidden under the pillow, unzipped it, and revealed the things inside.
"Eat this." Nian Nian said to her father with sparkling eyes.
"..." Jiang Chen took out the bag of instant noodles that filled the entire small package and looked at both sides, including the messy ingredient list on the bag. "Is this edible?"
"Yes." Nian Nian said, "Others eat it."
Instant noodles are unhealthy for adults if they eat too much, and they are even more unhealthy for children. Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to confiscate Nian Nian's instant noodles and tell her that she cannot eat this.
But seeing his daughter's expectant look, Jiang Chen hesitated and held out a finger: "You can only eat it this once."
Seeing that her father agreed, Nian Nian nodded and decided to just eat it once.
Jiang Chen personally went to the kitchen to cook instant noodles for Nian Nian.
Although he can't cook, he can still cook instant noodles. He just needs to open the bag and put the ingredients in and cook them. It's very simple.
The instant noodles soon gave off a unique aroma, and Jiang Chen brought the small pot of instant noodles to the table.
"Niannian, you can't let Mom know that you ate instant noodles today. Just treat it as a little secret between Niannian and Dad, okay?"
Nian Nian immediately nodded and agreed. Although she felt a little sorry for her mother, she really wanted to try it. If her mother knew, she would not let her eat it.
"Eat it."
Nian Nian picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodle and put it into her mouth. The taste was not particularly delicious, but it was not bad either, and it had a special charm. After taking a bite, she wanted to eat another one.
Nian Nian picked up another long noodle and started to eat it.
Hearing the sound of Nian Nian slurping noodles, Jiang Chen's face showed worry. He wondered if the child would have diarrhea if he ate too much of this.
Although the little notebook his wife gave him did not explicitly state that he was not allowed to eat instant noodles, it did say that he was not allowed to feed Nian Nian unhealthy food.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt a little regretful when he remembered what his wife had said, that when she came back, Nian Nian must not lose even a hair. He softened his heart for a moment and agreed to give Nian Nian instant noodles.
Jiang Chen coaxed his daughter who was concentrating on eating noodles, "Niannian, let daddy have a taste too, okay?"
Nian Nian raised her head: "Dad hasn't eaten it either?"
Jiang Chen had indeed never eaten instant noodles. He didn't have any big requirements for food, as long as the taste was acceptable. Since he was a child, someone was in charge of his diet, and foods like instant noodles had no chance of appearing on his table. So like Nian Nian, he had never eaten this thing.
Jiang Chen nodded.
Seeing that her father had never eaten it either, Nian Nian kindly gave the small pot to her father so that he could have a taste as well.
Smelling the aroma, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a little hungry. He took a bite of the instant noodles, and the taste stimulated his taste buds. Jiang Chen, who had never tasted this flavor before, thought it seemed not bad, so he took another bite...
After he finished two bites and wanted to save the rest for Nian Nian, he found that there was no instant noodles in the pot.
“……”He clearly just picked up two pieces with chopsticks!
How can you not eat it!
Nian Nian also noticed that her father ate a lot in one big bite, but she was not worried, thinking that her father would definitely leave some for her. But when her father took more with the second chopsticks than the first, Nian Nian's eyes widened.
It seems like Dad didn’t even plan to leave any for Nian Nian?!
Jiang Chen put the small pot on the table. Nian Nian looked over and found that there was only soup left in the pot.
Nian Nian looked at her father with a look of great grievance and shock. She pursed her lips and her eyes were almost red.
"..." Seeing that his daughter seemed to be about to cry, Jiang Chen quickly admitted his mistake and apologized, "I'm sorry, Nian Nian, Dad didn't mean it."
"Dad did it on purpose!" Nian Nian felt that her father didn't want her to eat more, so he ate it all on purpose and didn't leave any for her!
"Dad really didn't mean it."
But Nian Nian refused to listen and she no longer believed in her father.
Nian Nian promised her father that she could only eat the instant noodles once, thinking that she could at least have a full meal at once, but she only ate two.
I can't even taste it, so I might as well not eat it.
Nian Nian was very angry. She got down from the chair, ran to her toy room and dragged out a package. The package was a bit heavy and she had a lot of difficulty dragging it.
But Nian Nian did not give up and dragged the package in her hand all the way to the door.
Jiang Chen followed his daughter, not knowing what she was going to do. When he saw her opening the door to go out, he asked, "Niannian, what are you going to do?"
Nian Nian dragged her bag and looked at her father: "Nian Nian wants to run away from home."
There is no mother at home, and the instant noodles that she can only eat once in her life are eaten up by her father. Nian Nian no longer wants to stay in this house, and she decides to run away from home!
Jiang Chen: “…”
