A Billionaire CEO Brings His Child Home: The Awakening of the Stay-at-Home Dad System

The moment I stepped into the stadium lobby, the space suddenly felt much more open.

The hall has an extremely high ceiling with large glass windows at the top, allowing sunlight to pour down and cast bright patches of light on the light-colored marble floor tiles.

There were far more people in the lobby than it appeared outside; some athletes in sportswear were bent over, organizing their bags.

Reporters carrying cameras and tripods were looking for angles to take pictures, while volunteers in matching blue vests were running around with walkie-talkies in their hands.

The sounds of talking, footsteps, and the static of walkie-talkies mingled together, creating a lively buzzing noise.

Tingting's fingers clenched a little tighter.

Her gaze swept around, noticing many adults with competition badges pinned to their chests, and also a few children.

A little older than her, around seven or eight years old, was being led by an adult and was standing in the corner of the hall, bending over and folding something.

At the front of the hall is a huge LED screen, displaying the competition events and schedule.

"Paper Airplane Straight-Line Distance Project", "Paper Airplane Flight Time Project", "Paper Airplane Straight-Line Target Shooting Project", "Paper Airplane Surfing and Gliding Project".

The characters were large and red, and could be clearly seen from a great distance.

Tingting couldn't help but whisper, "There are so many people."

Chen Hao looked down at her.

Are you scared?

"I'm not afraid." She shook her head, but tightened her grip on his fingers, her nails almost digging into his skin.

Chen Hao didn't say anything, but simply held her hand even tighter.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Yu Jingwen:

"Assistant Yu, we've arrived at the stadium lobby." Less than ten seconds after the message was sent, my phone vibrated.

Yu Jingwen replied quickly:

"Okay, Teacher Chen, please wait in the lobby for a moment. Director Wu and I will come to pick you up shortly." A clapping emoji followed.

Chen Hao put away his phone, took Tingting's hand, and walked to a spot against the wall in the lobby, clearing a path for people to pass through.

Tingting leaned against the wall, tiptoeing, swaying her body from side to side, humming some tune she couldn't quite make out. She hummed a couple of lines and then stopped, tilting her head to watch the people walking around in the hall.

A few minutes later, Chen Hao saw three people walking quickly toward them from the other side of the hall.

Leading the way was Wu Licheng, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers. The shirt hem was neatly tucked into his waistband, and his hair was combed smoothly. He looked much more formal than yesterday.

Beside her was Yu Jingwen, wearing a light blue business suit, short-sleeved, with a small silver brooch pinned to her collar, and holding a tablet computer in her hand, the screen of which was lit up.

The third person was a woman, around forty years old, with short hair that reached just below her ears. She wore thin-rimmed silver glasses, behind which were a pair of very calm eyes.

She was wearing a dark gray suit jacket over a white undershirt, dark trousers, and low-heeled leather shoes.

She walks at a moderate pace, with her back straight, exuding a sense of competence and composure.

Wu Licheng saw Chen Hao from afar. He quickened his pace, walked up to him, and reached out his hand.

"Teacher Chen, you've arrived. Was your journey safe?"

Chen Hao grasped his hand and squeezed it briefly.

"Good morning, Director Wu. The journey was smooth, but parking was a bit hard to find."

"There are a lot of people today, with athletes from all over the country coming, so parking is in short supply." Wu Licheng patted Chen Hao on the shoulder, then bent down, rested his hands on his knees, and looked at Tingting at eye level.

"Tingting, are you ready today? Are you confident?"

Tingting puffed out her chest, and her two pigtails bounced up.

"Ready! I'm going to fly 110 meters!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Licheng broke into a smile, his eyes narrowing.

"One hundred and ten meters? That's ambitious! Uncle has high hopes for you! Do your best today!"

Yu Jingwen also stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Hao.

"Teacher Chen, how did you sleep last night? Were you satisfied with the hotel?"

"It's great. The room is quiet, the bed is comfortable, and Tingting slept well."

"That's good." Yu Jingwen bent down and waved to Tingting. "Good morning, Tingting."

"Good morning, Aunt Yu!" Tingting looked up, her voice crisp and bright.

Then she turned her head, looked at the woman in the gray coat standing behind Wu Licheng, tilted her head and sized her up for a few seconds, and then asked directly:

"Who is this auntie?"

Wu Licheng straightened up, turned to the side, and stretched his hand out in the direction of the lady.

"Teacher Chen, let me introduce you."

This is Ms. Wu Xiaohong, an official adjudicator for Guinness World Records.

I specially invited her to come and witness your match today.

If your performance meets the Guinness World Record standards, she will certify it on the spot and issue an official certificate.

Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat.

He really didn't expect Wu Licheng to invite people from Guinness World Records.

He had previously thought that today's competition was just a regular event, and that if he did well, he would get a ranking and at most a trophy or certificate.

He didn't expect Wu Licheng to invite a Guinness World Records adjudicator to the scene. This was much more formal than he had thought, and even exceeded his expectations.

He extended his hand, palm facing outward, and shook hands with Wu Xiaohong.

"Hello, Ms. Wu, thank you for making this trip."

Wu Xiaohong grasped his hand with a firm but steady grip, her palm dry.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Director Wu explained your situation to me in detail over the phone. He said that the paper airplanes you folded flew more than 100 meters and stayed in the air for nearly 60 seconds.

I've been doing certifications in this field for over a decade, and I know what this number means.

So no matter how busy I am, I have to come and see for myself today.

Chen Hao nodded.

"I was lucky; the plane folded relatively easily."

Wu Xiaohong smiled, a small but sincere smile.

"Mr. Chen is too modest."

I previously certified the world record for the longest distance a paper airplane can fly – 53.10 meters.

It has also been certified as a world record for flight time—31.22 seconds.

Both records were set by adults, and both were set by people who had dedicated many years to studying paper airplanes.

At the time, I felt that these two records were already quite high, and it would be very difficult to break them.

Indeed, no one has broken this record in recent years.

She looked down at Tingting, who was tilting her head back, her dark eyes fixed on her.

"Director Wu told me that there was a little girl who was not even four years old, whose paper airplanes could fly more than 100 meters and stay in the air for almost a minute."

She paused, then lowered her voice slightly.

"To be honest, when I first heard the news, my first reaction was that I couldn't believe it."

But Director Wu told me about your situation, saying that you have live broadcast records and video materials.

I thought to myself, "I want to come and see for myself."
