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

After applying the putty, you need to wait for it to dry completely.

Then Chen Hao began sanding the wall surface—

Use a sandpaper holder to hold sandpaper and smooth out the knife marks and bumps on the wall.

There was a lot of dust during the sanding process, so he wore two masks. Shen Xiaoting was taken back to the convenience store by her grandmother, who didn't want her to stay at the construction site.

After sanding, he started applying latex paint.

White latex paint was poured into the paint tray, and the roller brush, dipped in the paint, was rolled on the wall from top to bottom and from left to right.

His technique was very professional.

The first roll was horizontal, the second roll was vertical, each roll was even and fine, without drips or missed spots, and the edges were neatly patched with a wool brush.

[Ding! Latex paint application completed. God-level tile setter experience points +167!]

[Ding! Constitution enhancement effect triggered - Constitution +0.1, current Constitution: 15.1.]

After brushing once, wait two hours for it to dry before brushing a second time.

After two applications, the wall surface became snow-white, smooth, and as clean as new, gleaming with a soft sheen in the sunlight.

On the evening of the fourth day, Chen Hao stood in front of the old house, looking at the completely renovated house.

The roof is covered with brand-new, gray, eco-friendly tiles, neatly arranged with straight lines.

The walls were painted with snow-white latex paint, smooth and flawless.

The windows have been replaced with new aluminum alloy frames and double-glazed windows, making them bright and airy.

The door was also replaced with a new security door, dark gray, which looks very sturdy.

The ground in the yard has been repaved with cement, and it is flat, clean, and free of weeds.

In just four days, a dilapidated and crumbling old house was transformed into a brand-new, bright, and sturdy one.

Shen Xiaoting stood beside her father, looking up at the house. The expression on her little face changed from surprise to excitement, and then from excitement to a pure, unadulterated happiness.

She let go of her father's hand, ran to the newly paved cement floor, spun around, then ran back and tugged at her father's clothes.

"Daddy! It's so beautiful! Our new house is so beautiful!"

"It's not a new house, it's an old house," Chen Hao corrected her with a smile.

"But it looks so new!" Shen Xiaoting tilted her head back, her eyes shining. "Dad, when can we move in?"

"In a few days, once the furniture is finished, we can move in."

"I want a pink room!"

"Okay, a pink room." Chen Hao bent down and picked up his daughter.

Chen Bingzhong stood to the side, holding his thermos in his hand, looking at the old house with a complicated expression on his face.

He was born in this house, grew up in this house, married Meng Meiling in this house, and held Chen Hao, who was just born, in this house.

Later, he moved away, and the house fell into disrepair day by day. He thought it would collapse sooner or later, be swallowed up by weeds and vines, and eventually become a pile of ruins.

But now, it has risen again.

His son, a programmer, transformed it into a brand new house in four days.

"Ah Hao," he called out.

"Um?"

Chen Bingzhong was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Your grandparents would be very happy to see this house."

Chen Hao paused for a moment, then smiled.

He didn't say anything, but simply hugged his daughter even tighter.

Viewers in the live stream saw a before-and-after comparison of the old house's renovation from a bird's-eye view.

Four days ago, the dilapidated house, overgrown with weeds, with peeling paint and a leaky roof, has now been transformed into a brand-new, bright, and sturdy house.

The comment section was completely buzzing with excitement!

"My God!!! Is this the same house???"

"Four days! Only four days! One person! One person did the work of many people!"

"Are you Superman, streamer???"

"I watched the whole process, from demolishing the roof to laying tiles to wiring to painting, the anchor did it all by himself."

"The key is that he does it even better than professionals, and there is no fault in any of the steps."

"I've been in the renovation business for over ten years, and I'm impressed by this level of skill and speed."

"This isn't just renovation, this is magic."

"I cried when Tingting said 'So pretty.' This little girl deserves the best dad."

Gifts started raining down on the screen—

[“Little Deer Fluttering” is giving away 1 Carnival!]

[A Douyin account #1 has been given away as part of the "Don't Drink and Drive" campaign!]

[A fan of Hao Ge gave away one Carnival gift!]

[“Rural life is so wonderful” - one Douyin account #1 has been given away!]

[“Old Wang, who loves watching live streams,” has given away 5 helicopters!]

[Received a donation: Carnival x2, gained 1200 popularity points!]

[Received a tip: Douyin account #1 x2, gained 6000 popularity points!]

[Received donation: 5 helicopters, gained 2999 popularity points!]

The system notifications were so frequent they sounded like a machine gun, and Chen Hao didn't even have time to look at the specific numbers.

He simply held his daughter, standing in front of the newly renovated old house, watching the sunset paint the white walls a pale gold, feeling calm and at peace.

That evening, Shen Xiaoting took a shower, put on a pink bunny pajama, and lay in her father's arms.

Chen Hao turned off the lights, leaving only the bedside lamp on. He held his daughter with one arm and gently patted her back with the other.

"Dad," Shen Xiaoting called softly.

"Um?"

"Our new house is so beautiful."

"It's an old house," Chen Hao corrected her.

"But I think it's new," Shen Xiaoting insisted, "because Dad made it so new, so very new."

Chen Hao smiled and kissed his daughter on the forehead: "Okay, it's new."

Shen Xiaoting smiled contentedly, buried her face in her father's chest, and slowly closed her eyes.

After his daughter fell asleep, Chen Hao gently picked up his phone from the bedside table, opened the backend of the live streaming platform, and checked the data from the past four days.

The total live stream duration was 32 hours.

Total viewership: 47.

7.8 new followers were added, bringing the total number of followers to 9.

Gift income – He calculated carefully and found that after deducting the platform's 50% commission, he received a total of 5168 yuan over four days.

He glanced at the system panel again—

Over these four days, the popularity score has increased by a total of 51809 points, bringing the total popularity score to 91422 points.

After deducting the 15000 points used to exchange for skills, the remaining usable popularity points are 76422.

With over 90,000 followers, over 70,000 remaining popularity points, and over 5,000 in cash income.

Chen Hao put down his phone, turned off the desk lamp, and hugged his daughter closer.

Shen Xiaoting stirred in her sleep, rubbed her face against his chest a couple of times, mumbled something indistinct, and then fell back into a deep sleep.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a silvery-white band on the floor.

Insects were chirping on the distant mountains, their calls soft and distant.

Chen Hao closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
