Chapter 29 Nono Goes to Work at Fu's Company "Nono, would you like to come with me..."
Nono looked up blankly; he didn't know either.
Jiang Shunian was unaware that he had caused a misunderstanding with Director Xie, but he immediately clarified: "Director Xie, I'm no good at it, my English is terrible."
Xie Hualiang was also confused: "But Nuonuo's English is so good, didn't you teach her?"
He had heard Nono speak English before, and it was clear that her fluency and naturalness could only be developed through a long period of English-speaking environment.
It would be difficult to reach this level through self-study alone, so he naturally assumed that Jiang Shunian usually communicated with Nuonuo in English.
Xie Hualiang was inexperienced and didn't know that there were such intelligent children as Nono Da Wang in the world who were so amazing just by self-study.
Xie Hualiang and Jiang Shunian are now looking at each other in bewilderment.
The program segments have already been set up. Fortunately, the live broadcast preview hasn't been released yet. However, if there are any last-minute changes, it will have a ripple effect, and the filming time will have to be postponed again.
Jiang Shunian was also aware of this matter.
He already felt bad about missing the recording of the last episode, and he was very grateful for Xie Hualiang's support at the time. He didn't want to delay the show's progress again because of his own reasons, so he said, "Director Xie, let's proceed with the live broadcast as scheduled. Nuonuo can help me complete the task. At worst, she can contribute some comedic effect to the show."
Xie Hualiang didn't expect Jiang Shunian to have such a good attitude, as most celebrities care a lot about their image.
But Jiang Shunian's expression was very calm, not like he was pretending.
Nono nodded earnestly, "Uncle, I will help Dad complete the mission!"
After careful consideration, Xie Hualiang finally made a decision: "Okay, then let's proceed as planned."
The other guests also agreed that the recording of these episodes went very smoothly, the children performed very well, and their children also received bilingual education. Their spoken English may not be as good as Nuonuo's, but they have no problem with daily communication.
If the live stream is successful, it will definitely help boost their popularity.
As the production crew began filming, Jiang Shunian, always quick to stir things up, immediately turned to Nuonuo beside him and said, "Baby, can you teach me a few everyday English phrases? I need to cram at the last minute—no, I need to cram Nuonuo!"
Nono nodded: "No problem, Dad."
Then he spoke a string of extremely standard and beautiful English, accompanied by a childish, innocent voice, which was incredibly charming.
But the more Jiang Shunian listened, the more confused he became. Did he really need such a long greeting? Shouldn't it be "hello" and "how are you"?
He felt something was wrong, and he seemed to hear the word "daddy" more than once.
He suspected that Nuonuo wasn't using everyday language, and then he saw Nuonuo smirking, which made him realize that Nuonuo was deliberately teasing him.
Jiang Shunian reached out and tickled Nuonuo: "Naughty Nuonuo, were you just talking bad about Daddy?"
Nuonuo giggled from the tickling, but didn't say what she said. Jiang Shunian was very curious and even wanted to ask the photographer.
But the photographer shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know what Nuonuo had said.
Damn it, Nuonuo must have been corrupted by Fu Yanli!
Jiang Shunian mentally added another mark against Fu Yanli.
It wasn't until the later episodes aired, with a translator, that Jiang Shunian learned what Nuonuo had said.
Nono said, "I have the best dad in the world. His love for me is as boundless as the vast Milky Way. I am proud to be his child. I hope my dad will always be healthy and happy, and I hope I can grow up quickly so that I can take care of him."
These words made Jiang Shunian hug Nuonuo and cry on the spot. He really didn't deserve to have such a good child as Nuonuo.
Viewers of the show were also moved to tears, and Nono once again became a trending topic, with people asking which direction to kowtow in order to give birth to a perfect Nono!
The car drove along the winding, quiet road, with lush broad-leaved trees on both sides. The lake shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting the quiet and mysterious mountains.
The scenery, so different from what they saw in China, made Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo exclaim in amazement, especially the occasional small animals leaping out from the woods, which made Nuonuo gasp in surprise.
Because everyone slept soundly in first class and didn't need to adjust to the time difference, the production team confirmed the guests' condition and, after confirming that everyone was ready to film, prepared to release a live broadcast preview.
The production team first explained the content of their live stream: they would stop in a town called Los Ana, about 10 kilometers from the manor, where the father and child would chat with local NPCs and complete the tasks they were given. After that, they would receive a vehicle, which could be a bicycle, a motorcycle, or a car, depending on the difficulty of the task.
If you fail to find the NPC or complete the quest, you will have to go on foot.
The first father and son to arrive at the estate will get the best house and enjoy a luxurious Western-style meal.
Jiang Shunian was startled when he heard this, and quickly squatted down to take Nuonuo's arm: "Baby, Daddy is counting on you!"
Nono immediately puffed out her little chest and answered in a reassuring way, "Daddy, just stay close to me."
"Baby Travel Plan" is currently the hottest variety show this summer, especially with the emergence of Nono, who is top-notch in both looks and abilities. The show's official Weibo account gained more than two million followers in just a few episodes, simply because the account occasionally posts behind-the-scenes footage and extra episodes.
Of course, Jiang Shunian gained more than five million followers, but most of them were Nuonuo's fans, who strongly requested that Jiang Shunian share more photos and videos of Nuonuo.
Soon after, the official Weibo account released a live stream announcement, stating that the live stream would begin in half an hour and would initially last for two hours, with the duration subject to adjustment depending on the program content.
It was 4 PM in China, and since it was Saturday, the Weibo post immediately caused an uproar among fans.
[What?! I can watch Nono's live stream!]
【Ahhh, Your Majesty Nono, this old servant is coming right now!】
Is the production team really going this far? Aren't they afraid of it backfiring?
Countless comments flooded the screen, and the topic quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.
The production team has excellent organizational and coordination skills. They quickly prepared all the equipment needed for the live broadcast, and each of the five pairs of fathers and sons opened a split screen, allowing viewers to switch between them at will.
When the broadcast started, millions of viewers flooded into the live stream. Fortunately, the production team had anticipated the number of viewers, but even so, the stream was temporarily choppy.
The host, the village chief, greeted everyone in the live broadcast room with a smile: "Hello everyone, we are currently filming the final episode of 'Baby Travel Plan' in Country X. Today's live broadcast will feature five groups of guests finding their own transportation to the manor. Now, please welcome our guests to the stage."
After the opening remarks, the village chief made way, and the five groups of guests got out of their cars and appeared in the live broadcast room one by one.
Youyou is very lively and greeted everyone first: "Hello everyone, I'm Youyou. Thank you all for your love and support for me and my dad."
After saying that, she playfully made a heart shape with her hands.
Next came Oreo, Lu Bao, and Ning An, who all greeted him in a natural and generous manner.
Ning An, in particular, showed no stage fright whatsoever.
Finally, it's Nono.
When Nono appeared, the screen was silent for a moment, and then burst into great enthusiasm.
[King Nono, ahhhh, what a beautiful human baby!]
Jiang Shunian is so beautiful too; the father and son are practically on their own separate layers.
Nono's eyes are truly noble and mysterious. I always thought they had a golden tint, but now I can finally see them clearly—they're such beautiful eyes!
Nono wore a white shirt with a dark blue British-style vest and a small gentleman's hat. His outstanding looks and temperament made him a fan favorite without him even speaking.
He gave the camera a cute wink: "I'm Nono, thank you everyone for your support."
[Quick, give me some oxygen, I'm being overwhelmed by Nono's cuteness!]
After a brief opening speech, the village chief announced that the guests could exchange their transportation with the resident NPCs.
While the other parents were with their children, Jiang Shunian had a unique style, following behind Nuonuo the whole time, like a weak and helpless follower.
Some viewers in the live chat asked what was going on, but they soon found out the reason.
Because it was Nuonuo who was taking care of Jiang Shunian!
Nono quickly found a young and pretty blonde woman and asked her in fluent English if she knew that the "Baby Travel Plan" program crew had come to the area to make arrangements recently, and if she had contacted any residents.
His clear problem-solving approach and excellent spoken English left the viewers in the live stream somewhat bewildered.
No, can someone tell me what Nuonuo is saying? I can't understand a word she's saying!
Luckily, there were English majors in the live stream who immediately started translating simultaneously, and couldn't help but exclaim: "[Holy crap, everyone, Nono's English pronunciation is amazing! It's so standard, it's like he could record a children's textbook! And many of his vocabulary words are at the CET-6 level!]"
[Once again, I'm amazed by King Nono's intelligence and abilities. He's definitely the strongest human cub on Earth!]
With King Nono here, this old servant can rest easy.
The first blonde woman said she didn't know, but when asked the second middle-aged man, he immediately replied that some Chinese people seemed to have come to his neighbor's house about two weeks ago.
They even enthusiastically took Nono to find it.
On the way, Nono talked with the other person, who was also very interested in her and asked how to watch their program, to which Nono answered one by one.
Jiang Shunian couldn't get a word in edgewise; he was only responsible for holding Nuonuo and acting as a silent baby-carrying tool.
Jiang Shunian's silence quickly caught the attention of the viewers in the live stream, who began sending questions via chat.
Is Jiang Shunian keeping quiet because something is on her mind?
[It seems like Nono is the one in charge of this household, hahaha.]
[Jiang Shunian really played me. When I traveled abroad, I stayed by the tour guide's side the whole time, afraid that if I left his side even for a moment, I would die!]
The staff were amused by the comments and even tried to get Jiang Shunian to say something: "Teacher Jiang, the comments are all asking you to say a few words."
Jiang Shunian's face immediately fell, while Nuonuo said to the other person, "My dad's English isn't very good, but he'd like to say a few words to you, is that alright?"
The other person was also quite witty, directly addressing Jiang Shunian in very standard Chinglish: "Hello, how are you?"
When asked this question at the company's annual meeting, Jiang Shu immediately and confidently replied, "I'm fine, thank you, and you?"
The comments section erupted in laughter, having already gauged Jiang Shunian's English proficiency.
Nono patted him reassuringly, "Dad, don't worry, I'll help you complete the mission."
Jiang Shunian then haughtily snorted at the live stream audience: "You can laugh at me all you want, but Nuonuo is my child. Are you envious?"
【Ugh, Jiang Shunian, you…】
Okay, you really succeeded!
Even assuming the worst, can't Nuonuo really be my child?
Fu Yanli was also watching the live stream. He had arranged to have lunch with the head of the Esseris Group and had already arrived at the hotel to rest.
When he saw Nuonuo's performance, his golden eyes were filled with pride for the child.
However, most of the attention was focused on Jiang Shunian. Seeing that he didn't shy away from being laughed at for his poor English, and even managed to turn the tables on him, they couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Shunian's vivacity and honesty are equally touching.
He thought to himself, "Nono is our child."
The mission went very smoothly. Nono successfully found the NPC, a very handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed man named Riley. Among the questions he listed, she directly challenged the highest difficulty: to act as a messenger, deliver a love letter to a girl named Chloe, and receive a reply from her.
Despite Riley's repeated insistence that it wouldn't matter if Chloe rejected him, Nono turned into a love expert, asking him how much he loved Chloe and what he was willing to do for her.
Riley immediately treated Nono as a confidante and told her about his love story with Chloe.
They met on a sea voyage. Chloe was lively and brave. When they encountered a storm, she remained calm and directed everyone to safely bring the yacht back to shore. Riley fell in love with her at first sight, but never dared to confess his feelings.
Nono nodded, indicating that she understood.
After clarifying their mission, they set off again for Chloe's residence. On the way, Jiang Shunian finally couldn't help but ask, "Nono, what did you two talk about just now?"
Nono then translated it for Jiang Shunian.
Jiang Shunian nodded, and the viewers in the live stream nodded in agreement.
Jiang Shunian, I hereby declare that you are my mouth double.
On the way, Nuonuo spotted a flower shop and tugged at Jiang Shunian's clothes, asking her father to take her there.
He bought two vibrant roses, but asked the shopkeeper to wrap them separately.
Jiang Shunian was wondering when Nuonuo handed one of the cigarettes to him: "Daddy, this one is for you. I love you."
Jiang Shunian's eyes instantly reddened.
He's so lucky; how could he have such a wonderful son like Nono?
[I burst into tears! Oh my god, Nono, how could you be so good at this?]
I remember my daughter buying me a bouquet of flowers with her saved-up allowance; I cried my eyes out then.
"Thank you, Nuonuo, Daddy loves you too!"
The two soon arrived at Chloe's house, where she was home wearing a pretty pink and white dress. When she saw Nono, her eyes lit up; what a beautiful child, like an angel.
Nono quickly explained her purpose, presented the letter and roses to the recipient, and perfectly expressed Riley's love for her.
Chloe's eyes lit up upon hearing this. After reading the love letter, she immediately agreed. Riley, who had been waiting nearby, appeared instantly, knelt on one knee, and promised Chloe, "I will love you forever."
But Chloe glanced at Nuonuo and said, "If you can bring me a baby as perfect as Nuonuo, I will marry you."
Nono had been translating for her dad and the aunties in the live stream, but she paused for a moment after hearing the last part. Jiang Shunian quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Nuonuo translated Chloe's words somewhat shyly, then buried herself in Jiang Shunian's arms and refused to look up, her little ears turning rosy.
"Nono's shy," Jiang Shunian said, suppressing a laugh. "It's because Nono is so wonderful that Auntie wanted a child like you."
"Dad, am I the best kid?"
"Of course, Nono is the best child in the world."
[Aww, this is so heartwarming, seeing my corpse makes me feel so warm.]
Jiang Shunian is so gentle, I love him!
Because Nono completed the task extremely quickly, and it was the most difficult one, they were given a car as their mode of transportation.
Riley also said he would personally drive them there, and Chloe accompanied them.
Sitting in the convertible, Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo, wearing sunglasses, watched the scenery rushing past outside the car, enjoying the breeze on their faces, and happily started singing the show's theme song.
Then the comments section was filled with disbelief again.
Nono sings so well, it's simply heavenly!
Is there anything that King Nono doesn't know?
When the car arrived at the manor, the village chief announced with a smile that Nono was the first child to arrive, and that Nono's live stream split screen would need to be temporarily turned off.
Although the comments were all shouting "No!", there was nothing they could do. They couldn't keep streaming forever; they had to save it for the final cut.
Nuonuo skillfully reassured the viewers in the live stream: "Dear aunties, Nuonuo has to say goodbye to you for now. I hope you all have a good life and make a fortune!"
I love this blessing! Goodbye, Nono, I'm off to binge-watch variety shows again.
After the live stream ended, Jiang Shunian fed Nuonuo water and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Nuonuo, you've worked hard. Please have some water."
Nono gulped down a few mouthfuls, then shook her head: "Dad, I'm not tired."
The father and son secured the most luxurious room with an overwhelming advantage. The Gothic-style decor was quite unique, and the room also had a terrace with a direct view of a blue river, which seemed to be a reflection of the sky, making for a picturesque scene.
Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo rested in their room for a while before the other guests arrived at the manor.
Next, they can enjoy a lavish lunch.
At a certain ancient castle estate, Fu Yanli also met with Lucien, the ruler of Etheris. The man had a high nose and deep-set eyes, and although he was over forty, he was well-maintained.
Upon seeing Fu Yanli, she smiled and came over to hug him: "Fu, you are as handsome as ever."
Fu Yanli gave him a polite hug.
During the meal, Lucien said with a smile, "I heard you have a very talented son who is filming a show here. After filming is over, you can bring him here to play. Atticus has never had any playmates. They can get to know each other. Playmates who have been together since childhood always have more intimacy and trust."
Fu Yanli immediately became alert.
He was not only concerned about Jiang Shunian's safety, but also wary of all boys the same age as Nuonuo.
Qin Lang, needless to say, is already on his kill list, but the other young punks are out of the question.
Especially after seeing the five-year-old boy named Atticus after dinner, who was indeed a real blondie, Atticus became even more wary. No way, Atticus would never see his Nono in this lifetime.
Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo had a great time at the manor. They experienced slow rafting, learned to cook local delicacies, and saw cute seals while out at sea. Black and white killer whales playfully chased their boat, driving all kinds of seafood over. As a result, they caught a lobster as long as an arm, which tasted incredibly delicious.
Orcas especially love children; several calves even rolled over to face their calves, performing a backstroke while making ethereal calls that drew gasps of amazement from the little ones.
We also saw a stunning starry sky and had a barbecue and chatted around a campfire.
After the children went to sleep, the fathers shared their most unforgettable moments with their children this season. They realized that they had often neglected their children, and that their kids were far more outstanding than they had imagined.
In this atmosphere, Jiang Shunian couldn't help but say, "I've also discovered that Nuonuo has many different sides. To be honest, sometimes his maturity makes my heart ache. I hope he can enjoy his life, unrestrained, passionate, and free. I wish my child health and peace forever."
He was the one who chose to bring Nono into this world, so he respects Nono's freedom of life.
The other fathers were also moved and strongly agreed.
This ending elevated the entire program, deeply moving many viewers and prompting them to reflect on whether they were too harsh on their children, because every child has their own shining qualities.
The recording of this season's program has come to an end. Xie Hualiang, on behalf of the production team, thanked the guests and presented them with flowers. The children hugged each other and promised to keep in touch. Jiang Shunian was also very reluctant to part ways because he received a message from his agent Zhao Yuanzhou saying that the audition for "Spring Colors of Mountains and Rivers" had been moved up and that Jiang Shunian needed to prepare early.
As it happened, Fu Yanli also didn't want to stay, fearing that Nuonuo would run into Atticus, so he and Jiang Shunian hit it off and took the child back to China.
On the plane back, Nono was fast asleep as usual, while her two fathers were talking.
When Fu Yanli spoke of Atticus, his voice was filled with worry: "I don't know what kind of partner Nuonuo will find in the future. I feel that no one is good enough for him. Shu Nian, do you think it's possible for us to support Nuonuo for the rest of his life and for him not to date?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shunian almost choked on his saliva.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yanli had started worrying more than a decade in advance, and even said that he would support Nuonuo for the rest of his life.
But this also proves that Fu Yanli cares a lot about Nuonuo.
Jiang Shunian thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fu, although Nuonuo is set as the protagonist, don't forget that Nuonuo is a strong and brave boy. He has never given in and has always fought hard, but he only became like this because of an accident... So, we don't need to overprotect him, but rather teach him how to identify people and defend himself. As for who he dates, it's simple. As long as the other person is of good character, treats Nuonuo well, and Nuonuo likes them, that's fine."
Both he and Fu Yanli will keep an eye on Nuonuo, so there's no need to worry about her encountering people like Qin Lang.
Fu Yanli then calmed down a bit and said, "Then I will personally teach Nuonuo self-defense. I am a black belt in Taekwondo and have also practiced Muay Thai."
"good."
The flight was indeed tedious and boring, and Jiang Shunian was about to take a nap when Fu Yanli asked in a low voice, "Shunian, do you need me to provide constant temperature and warmth services?"
Jiang Shunian recalled Fu Yanli's embrace and surprisingly did not refuse immediately.
He felt himself being consumed by this warmth, because his body had automatically recalled how comfortable it was to sleep in Fu Yanli's arms.
Seeing Jiang Shunian's hesitation, Fu Yanli smiled and continued to promote himself: "You don't need to take responsibility for me. I just don't want you to have a hard time sleeping."
In the end, Jiang Shunian blushed and fell asleep in Fu Yanli's arms.
Jiang Shunian slept soundly, her body temperature rising rapidly, her hands and feet warm, and the fever didn't subside until she got off the plane.
The audition was not held in S City, and Jiang Shunian could not travel back and forth on the same day. His agent and assistant accompanied him, so Nuonuo needed to be taken care of by Fu Yanli.
Originally, Shen Lingyi strongly insisted on sending Nuonuo to the manor, but they found out that a very famous old Chinese medicine doctor who had treated leaders at home and abroad was willing to see her, but only for two days. Fu Shizhang's health had not been very good, so Shen Lingyi wanted to accompany Fu Shizhang to see a doctor.
All these things just happened to coincide, so Fu Yanli naturally had to take Nuonuo with him personally.
Xiao Wang suggested at the opportune moment that since the young master's popularity is currently very high, if President Fu were willing to bring Nuonuo to work, Fu's Group would definitely be bursting with enthusiasm for work.
After watching the live stream, fans' affection for Nono grew even stronger.
Fu Yanli hesitated. He didn't really want to expose Nuonuo, but he remembered Jiang Shunian's words that Nuonuo was a boy and that he would take over the Fu family business in the future, so he would have to appear in public sooner or later. Therefore, he asked, "Nuonuo, would you like to come to the company with me?"
Nono was also curious about where her uncle worked, and nodded without hesitation: "Uncle, I'm willing."
Assistant Xiao Wang almost fainted from happiness. My God, there's actually such a good thing in the world!
