"This meeting is adjourned. See you next time," Fu Qingci said, finishing up his documents and heading to his private office.

"President Fu is so handsome! His legs are as long as my life!"

"Yes, he's really young and promising."

"The Fu family's influence wasn't this great originally, but in recent years, under President Fu's management, they can be considered the number one wealthy family in the capital."

"Mr. Fu is of marriageable age now. I wonder which young lady he will marry."

"Haha, she must be a wealthy heiress who's a good match for you."

After Fu Qingci left, the employees who were still tidying up whispered among themselves.

Indeed, Fu Qingci is handsome and of marriageable age, but no one dares to urge him to get married.

Firstly, because Fu Qingci built the Fu Group from scratch, and he now holds the most power within the Fu family.

Secondly, because of the experience of Fu Ruohan, the eldest daughter of the Fu family, the elders of the Fu family understand that marriage cannot be forced. Fu Ruohan and Fu Chun's biological fathers were one who was after money and the other who was after sex. They did not love each other, which is why they ended up in that situation.

Fu Qingci, who was becoming the subject of discussion, returned to his office exhausted and sat in his leather chair to clear his mind. He had attended four or five meetings that day and was completely worn out.

When will that little girl, Fu Chun, grow up? She vowed that when she grows up, she will help her uncle and inherit the Fu Group.

Thinking of Fu Chun, Fu Qingci's previously cold and tired face softened a little.

After the live broadcast ended, the production team played the entire recording.

Fu Qingci searched on her computer and quickly found that the program used Fu Chun as the cover, for no other reason than that Fu Chun was good-looking.

When Fu Qingci saw his little niece's sweet and lovely face on the cover, all his fatigue disappeared. He wondered how the little princess had a day, whether she had thrown a tantrum, or made any new friends.

He opened the video and started watching from the parts he hadn't seen that morning. The video covered the entire day, and of course he only watched the parts with Fu Chun in them; he didn't care about the others at all.

He started watching from the moment Fu Chun arrived at Stone Village. Once they reached their destination, Fu Chun jumped off the bus on her own. Fu Qingci saw many people on the screen criticizing Xu Fan for being irresponsible.

Fu Qingci chuckled helplessly. He knew that Xu Fan was an innocent victim. He knew Fu Chun too well. When the young girl was sulking, she would act like this, not letting anyone touch her. Looking at Fu Chun's round face when she got out of the car, it was clear that she was angry. Although he didn't know the reason, it was obvious that she was angry with Xu Fan.

But that shouldn't be the main reason. If anyone bullies Fu Chun, she will immediately fight back. If anyone insults her, she will immediately retort. She is a girl who never engages in internal strife.

When she throws this little tantrum, it's most likely because she feels helpless and can't do anything about the person who made her angry.

He skipped around, only watching the parts featuring Fu Chun, and soon came to the part where Xu Fan told the production team that the children couldn't walk that far, only to be rebuked by Fu Chun.

He shared the same thought as Fu Chun: Fu Chun's surrogate father seemed lazy and was probably just using the child as an excuse because he didn't want to walk.

Later, when they started walking on mountain paths, Fu Chun struggled to carry her small suitcase by herself. The production team did not film Xu Fan repeatedly asking Fu Chun if she needed help. So, in Fu Qingci's view, while the other guests helped the children carry their things, only Fu Chun, who was small, was carrying a suitcase that was almost as tall as her, while Xu Fan was carrying a bag in front of her and doing it very easily.

How did the production team find this person? What a weak man! He can't even carry a child's suitcase. Fu Qingci frowned, his eyes filled with speechlessness and disdain for Xu Fan.

We can't let him continue to mentor Fu Chun in the later episodes. Who knows what this lazybones might do next?

Fu Qingci wanted to contact the production team to get some investment so they could find a new surrogate father for Fu Chun on the show. But then he remembered his older sister's advice not to interfere, so he decided to call her first.

"Beep—beep—beep"

Fu Qingci answered the phone and took the initiative.

"Sis, did you watch Chun Chun's live stream today? The dad she was assigned wasn't good. I'm planning to call the production team and ask them to let Chun Chun find a dad."

While eating sunflower seeds, Fu Ruohan watched a comedy variety show. She didn't listen to Fu Qingci at all. Her younger brother was like a mother hen, worrying about this and that all day long.

She only turned her attention to the phone when she heard that her father was changing.

She watched the entire live stream today. At first, she was also very dissatisfied with that dull and wooden boy. Everyone else was good-looking and handsome, and Xu Fan was like an outlier on the show.

Later, Xu Fan resolved the conflict, carried Fu Chun down the mountain, and even made her a delicious meal, which impressed her. Fu Chun's expressions became much more lively. Although she was mostly sulking, the girl was no longer as mature as she was at home, and was more like a carefree child.

Moreover, Xu Fan's cooking is truly a feast for the eyes. The steamed buns and braised potatoes and eggplant she made reminded her of the dishes she had eaten when she traveled to a northern city. She wanted to try them all, so she immediately found a northern cuisine takeout restaurant and bought them, but they didn't taste the same.

She knew Fu Chun's tastes well; the little girl was even more picky than her. If she ate so deliciously, it must be really good.

Hopefully, the little girl will get along well with her new dad on the show, and after the show ends, she can invite him over to her home to cook something delicious for her to try!

She was completely baffled and asked in confusion, "That young man seemed fine to me, so why is he no good? Why do I have to change fathers?"

Is this good? Lazy and slovenly, that was Fu Qingci's impression of Xu Fan after watching the show.

He didn't know what his sister was thinking. His sister was very stubborn; she wouldn't let him call the production team, but he did it on his own, and his sister was probably going to make a scene.

This is really difficult.

Under the lamplight, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, obscuring his beautiful eyes: "How can you praise him, sister? I don't feel comfortable leaving Fu Chun with him."

Fu Ruohan immediately became displeased upon hearing this, and her tone unconsciously turned sharp: "What, are you judging me by my appearance? Come on, tell me, what's wrong with her?"

"I watched the live stream. He wouldn't even help Chun Chun carry her suitcase. Anyone else is better than him."

"Pfft!" Fu Ruohan laughed.

"?"

"Did you even watch the show? In the second half, your Chun Chun couldn't walk anymore, and that young man just carried her on his back! They even won first place and stayed in a nice house, while other people were struggling to even get a meal. That young man cooked her something delicious. Tell me, what's wrong with her?"

Hearing his sister's words, Fu Qingci thought to himself, "So this is how things turned out? Was I too one-sided? But Xu Fan really doesn't seem like a good person."

"I'll keep watching," Fu Qingci said and hung up the phone.

"Hey! This kid probably hasn't even watched it!" Fu Ruohan snorted and went back to watching her comedy variety show.

Fu Qingci paused the video and continued watching. After a while, he saw Xu Fan being pushed down after trying to resolve the conflict, but he got up and tried to mediate again. He thought to himself that this person was really stupid, always trying to do things that were met with indifference. He wouldn't care if it were him.

Later, Xu Fan resolved the conflict but still didn't receive a kind look or gratitude from others. He increasingly felt that the production team was no good, having invited a bunch of rude and uncivilized people.

Later, Xu Fan indeed carried Fu Chun on his back, holding Fu Chun's suitcase in his hand, and had a large backpack on his chest. He walked very easily, while the other fathers did not carry their children.

He was somewhat surprised. Fu Chun was quite sensitive. She usually only allowed Fu Qingci and her mother, Fu Ruohan, to carry her. Once, when she was tired from shopping, Fu Qingci asked the assistant who accompanied her to the shopping trip to carry her. She disliked the assistant because of the office smell on him and preferred to walk by herself rather than be carried. But now she was obediently on Xu Fan's back, looking like she was enjoying herself. If he wasn't mistaken, the little girl was also constantly smelling his neck.

He was indeed too one-sided, but Xu Fan is such a thin person, clearly he has never exercised, how could he have such great strength?

Later, Xu Fan and Fu Chun arrived first and chose a house that looked alright. Fu Qingci was less disgusted with Xu Fan for a short time, at least he had let Fu Chun stay in a good house. Rooms 4 and 5 were simply unbearable to look at.

Xu Fan made steamed buns and a dish of vegetables that looked unappetizing to Fu Chun that evening. Is this what a father feeds a child who is growing? Every meal Fu Chun has ever had has been carefully prepared by a nutritionist, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables. She is also very picky about food.

He saw the little girl eating heartily and saying it was delicious. He didn't think it was because Xu Fan's cooking was good. He just felt that Fu Chun had suffered. She ate such rough food with such relish.

He was initially quite dissatisfied, but after seeing what other people were eating at home, he was somewhat relieved that at least Xu Fan's cooking was edible.

There were basically no more scenes featuring Fu Chun, so he stopped watching. After watching for so long, he concluded that any performance on the show could potentially affect his accommodation and daily meals.

This Xu Fan... I hope he won't try to take advantage of the situation in the later episodes. I hope everything about Fu Chun is the best.

Let's see how he performs tomorrow.

Fu Qingci closed the laptop.
