Chapter 35 Fu Yanli's Collapse Atticus saw Nono's...
Fu Yanli made a video call to Jiang Shunian and complained for a full ten minutes.
"What a coincidence! I just finished setting up the school!" Fu Yanli was utterly devastated. His domineering CEO image was completely gone, and he was now just an old father afraid that his son would be kidnapped by a blond-haired bastard. He kept nagging, "Why should I help Lucien take care of his child? Don't I have my own child to take care of? My Nuonuo is so cute and smart. What if Atticus is also a potential pervert? To put it another way, I can send him to Eton College, or even any other school, right, Shu Nian? The teaching quality of these schools is ten times better than Fu's School. Okay, let's settle on this for now."
Since Jiang Shunian met Fu Yanli, he had always been steady and composed. This was the first time he had seen him pacing back and forth anxiously. It was quite a novel sight.
He admired the children for a while before saying, "We can first see what kind of person Atticus is. Mr. Lucien has been able to cooperate with the Fu family for so long, so the children he has educated should not be bad."
It wasn't that Jiang Shunian lacked vigilance, but rather that the people and events he encountered throughout his life were all quite normal, with the Qin family being the only exception.
From Qin Guanyue to Qin Lang and then to the rest of the Qin family, everything is very abnormal.
Even Jiang Shunian sometimes felt that the Qin family was the one who didn't fit in.
If Lucien succeeds, his power and wealth will rise even higher, which will be a great help to Fu Yanli and will allow him to bring down the Qin family even faster in the future.
This is one of the reasons why Fu Yanli did not refuse.
Moreover, Atticus is only a five-year-old child who has traveled a long way to their side. In Fu Yanli's territory, he should not pose much of a threat.
Fu Yanli had also analyzed the pros and cons, but he still wanted to wipe out all the blond-haired people within a thousand miles centered on Nuonuo.
"If Atticus does anything untoward, I will sever ties with Lucien and pack him up and put him on a plane." Fu Yanli could only utter such harsh words in the end.
Jiang Shunian couldn't help but chuckle, not wanting to further provoke his poor old father: "Fine, I support you."
Fu Yanli breathed a sigh of relief; the frustration in his heart had finally been released.
He didn't forget to show concern for Jiang Shunian: "Shunian, is everything going well on set? Has anyone made things difficult for you? Shixu Media still has some standing in the industry. If anyone is being unreasonable, just tell me and I'll take care of it."
Fu Yanli's words were subtle, but in reality, Shixu is already one of the top talent agencies in the entertainment industry, with countless big names under its wing.
Jiang Shunian shook his head with a smile: "There aren't that many bizarre things. Although there are people who bring their own funding to join the crew, they are relatively low-key and haven't come to my attention."
The person he was talking about was the young actor who snatched the role from him on the day of the costume fitting. Jiang Shunian later learned his name was Xu Nanqiao. He heard that the sugar daddy behind him was quite powerful, and many people didn't dare to mess with him.
However, he was surprisingly polite to Jiang Shunian, and even apologized to her privately, saying that he really liked the character Su Yuqing, which was why he did something rash.
Although Jiang Shunian wasn't angry, he remembered that Jiang Shunian had later taken someone else's role, so he kept his distance from him.
During the script reading, Jiang Shunian shared his thoughts on the character he was playing with director Lin Yusong. He suggested that Su Yuqing's feelings for the female lead, Bai Jiyun, could be more extreme, encompassing not only love but also admiration and respect. He had been saved by the female lead when he was a child, and when he learned that her ultimate goal was to save the world, he was willing to do everything in his power to help her achieve her wish.
Because he knew how difficult the female lead's path would be, he was prepared to die for her from the very beginning. When discussing with the male lead about dying in her place, he began to imitate her demeanor.
This might add some interesting points.
Lin Yusong considered it carefully and felt that Jiang Shunian's words made a lot of sense. However, when he thought of Nuonuo's appearance, he smiled and said, "Shunian, would you be interested in having Nuonuo play your childhood role? Let's ride on Nuonuo's popularity. There are only two or three scenes. According to King Nuonuo's ability, it can be filmed in a morning at most."
Even before the variety show "Baby Travel Plan" has finished airing, Nono's popularity is overwhelmingly in first place. The number of views and discussion surrounding his personal edited clips has far surpassed everyone else, demonstrating his extremely high commercial value.
With such outstanding looks and intelligence, everyone wants to ride the coattails of this child star's popularity.
The director spoke very sincerely, even referring to him by the name "King Nono".
Jiang Shunian chuckled: "Director, why do you also call him King Nuonuo?"
“Nono is indeed very talented. If he were to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, he could probably become a top star overnight,” Lin Yusong said. “Think about it. I won’t force you.”
Jiang Shunian said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with Nuonuo."
If it only takes a morning to shoot, then it's definitely worth considering.
Moreover, Nono looks like him, making his portrayal of the character's childhood very convincing.
Fu Shizhang's medical treatment went smoothly. The old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed a medicine, and after drinking it for a few days, he felt much lighter and less heavy than before.
Jiang Shunian was away filming, and Fu Yanli had to go to work. Nuonuo couldn't keep going to Fu Yanli's company with him until school started, so Fu Shizhang and Shen Lingyi decided to move upstairs to Fu Yanli's house and then move back to the manor after Nuonuo started school.
Jiang Shunian called Nuonuo to ask if he wanted to act in a movie with him. Nuonuo was willing to help his father, but he was also worried that his acting skills were not good enough and would drag his father down. Therefore, he did not agree directly and said that he would decide after trying it out.
Jiang Shunian's longing for his sensible child deepened, and he even had the idea of filming less and spending more time with Nuonuo.
But he quickly came to his senses, because Nuonuo would be going to school in a week, and they couldn't be together all the time anyway. Jiang Shunian couldn't possibly go to the kindergarten to be with Nuonuo.
Moreover, the third male lead he played didn't have scenes every day. When he didn't have scenes, he could fly back to reunite with Nuonuo.
They also have a shower gel ad.
Thinking about this, Jiang Shunian felt that the future was something to look forward to.
Mo Zhen has been unable to forget Jiang Shunian ever since she last met him. He is bisexual and has had several relationships before, mostly with minor celebrities and some pretty internet celebrities, but most of them lasted less than three months.
However, he always provided ample compensation and parted ways amicably, which earned him a good reputation within the industry.
He was born into a wealthy family; his family owned a company, and he had an outstanding older sister. His parents didn't favor sons over daughters; seeing his sister's abilities, they let her inherit the family business. With nothing else to do, he went into the entertainment industry.
Mo Zhen is 183 cm tall, handsome, and has excellent acting skills. He is also not frivolous and has no other flaws except for being a womanizer.
After developing feelings for Jiang Shunian, she asked her sister to investigate whether Jiang Shunian's partner had any powerful background.
Mo Zhen is well-versed in the rules of the entertainment industry and avoids anyone with a wealthy backer.
There was a male actor who took a liking to a female actor in a drama and wanted to sexually harass her. However, when the actress's sugar daddy came, the male actor couldn't even kneel down to avoid being harassed. He ended up drinking so much that he had a stomach hemorrhage and was hospitalized. He was also banned for a year.
As a result, his sister couldn't find anything, not even whether Jiang Shunian had a partner.
This is understandable. The Fu family has completely blocked information about Jiang Shunian. Mo Zhen is just an ordinary wealthy person, far from being a member of a wealthy family, so naturally he has no access to information about Jiang Shunian.
However, his sister was cautious, saying that Jiang Shunian's situation meant either he really had no background or he had an exceptionally strong background, and advised Mo Zhen to think it through.
Mo Zhen replied that she understood, but in her heart she felt that Jiang Shunian probably didn't have any background.
If he had connections, he would have been famous long ago with his looks, instead of playing a supporting role now, especially after retiring from the entertainment industry for four years.
However, he did not immediately make it clear. Instead, he first contacted Jiang Shunian as a friend and took the initiative to ask Jiang Shunian to rehearse a scene. The two even discussed acting skills.
Jiang Shunian therefore had a fairly good impression of Mo Zhen.
Although Fu Yanli arranged for bodyguards to protect Jiang Shunian, the bodyguards could not see through Mo Zhen's ulterior motives and only reported that everything was normal.
Fu Yanli's main concern now is that Atticus will be flying over tomorrow afternoon. He needs to meet Atticus, and perhaps even have dinner with him, both out of courtesy and reason.
He arranged accommodation for Atticus in the same neighborhood as Atticus, but not in the same building; in fact, it was quite far away, roughly diagonally opposite.
Don't ask, the only place with suitable accommodation is that building.
As for the people who take care of Atticus's daily life, they are arranged by Shen Boheng, who is reliable and trustworthy.
Fu Yanli originally planned to meet Atticus alone, but unexpectedly, Lucien also contacted Fu Shizhang. Fu Shizhang took it very seriously after learning about it, and called Fu Yanli to arrange dinner at his place that evening.
This completely disrupted Fu Yanli's arrangements.
So much so that Fu Yanli was so nervous that he couldn't sleep that night. After making a video call with Jiang Shunian, he even stood in front of Nuonuo's door for a while.
But no matter how much Fu Yanli resisted, Atticus still arrived safely.
Fu Yanli left work a little early and bumped into the other person downstairs, and they took the elevator together.
Atticus is five years old, with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and long, thick eyelashes—a strikingly handsome foreign child. Upon meeting Fu Yanli, Atticus greeted him politely, displaying excellent manners in every gesture.
Fu Yanli nodded slightly, like a steady and reliable elder, asking Atticus if he was tired from the journey and if he was not used to anything.
"Uncle Fu, I heard you also have a child named Nuonuo. I brought Nuonuo a gift, I wonder if he will like it."
He personally pulled a small suitcase containing gifts for Nono.
My father said that Uncle Fu valued his children as much as he valued himself, so after he came to China, he must befriend Uncle Fu's son.
Fu Yanli thought to himself, "Don't I know how to buy gifts for Nuonuo? Why do I need you to deliver them?"
At the same time, he secretly hoped that Atticus would give him some toy-like gifts that Nono would find childish.
As the elevator gradually arrived at Fu Yanli's floor, he suppressed his anxiety and waited for the elevator doors to open. To his surprise, he saw Nuonuo right there.
Nuonuo obediently waited for him at the elevator door, and Fu Yanli's heart softened instantly.
"Dad! You're back!" Nono ran happily toward Fu Yanli. Before Fu Yanli could pick her up, Nono saw Atticus in the elevator.
Nono, always a very well-mannered child, greeted Atticus directly in English: "Good evening, brother. I heard from Grandpa that you will be staying here for a while. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to tell me."
Atticus's eyes went blank the moment he saw Nono.
How can there be such a handsome and adorable younger brother? His voice is soft and sweet, and his English pronunciation is also charming.
Atticus may seem gentle, but he has extremely high standards. In his opinion, most people are not good-looking, and even his father only receives a mediocre evaluation from him.
It's no exaggeration to say that Atticus found even seeing Nono an aesthetic pleasure.
Atticus, who never bothered with cheek kisses in his own country, stepped forward and was about to press his face against Nono's.
Fu Yanli was shocked and almost instantly picked up Nuonuo, shouting in a deep voice, "What are you doing?!"
