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

Shen Xiaoting listened intently, her expression changing with the unfolding story—

She smiled when the little bird flew away, she was happy when the little fish found its mother, and she nervously clutched her blanket when the rabbit crossed the dark forest.

After finishing the story, Shen Xiaoting sighed contentedly and hugged the rabbit even tighter.

"Dad, the story you told was so good."

Do you like it?

"I love it! It sounds even better than in the book! I want it told again tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll tell you a new one tomorrow." Chen Hao lowered his head and kissed his daughter on the forehead.

Shen Xiaoting closed her eyes, and her breathing quickly became even and long.

Her eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow under the pink light, her small mouth was slightly pouting, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was reliving the story she had just heard.

Chen Hao sat by the bed for a while, making sure his daughter was asleep, before quietly getting up, turning off the rabbit lamp, leaving the room, and gently closing the door behind him.

He went back to his bedroom and lay down on the bed.

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

He picked up his phone, opened the backend of the live streaming platform, and checked the data from the past two days.

The ninth and tenth days take two days.

The total live stream duration was 18 hours.

Total viewership: 38.

7.2 new followers were added, bringing the total number of followers to 24.4.

Gift income – He calculated carefully and found that after deducting the platform's commission, he received a total of 5149 yuan in the past two days.

Adding the previous 12201 yuan, the total income from ten days of live streaming is 17350 yuan.

He glanced at the system panel again—

Over the past two days, the popularity points have increased by a total of 73315. Including the remaining points, the total popularity points are now 246052, with 226052 points remaining available.

The number of fans is 244752.

Chen Hao put down his phone and turned off the light.

He closed his eyes, and the scene from this afternoon flashed through his mind—

The daughter stood on the village road, folding paper airplanes again and again, throwing them out each time, farther than the last.

Her focus, her persistence, and the light in her eyes when she saw the paper airplane fly away made him feel that taking her back to his hometown was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

He turned over, pulled the blanket up to his shoulders, and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Hao was woken up by his biological clock.

The light filtering through the curtains was still dim. He picked up his phone and glanced at it—6:12 a.m.

The room next door was quiet; Tingting was still asleep.

He tiptoed out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of the bedroom.

The floor tiles in the main room shimmered with a faint gray hue in the morning light. He walked through the main room and pushed open the kitchen door.

The kitchen was quiet. The newly built wood-fired stove, the newly installed cabinets, and the newly laid tiles looked bright in the morning light.

Chen Hao opened the refrigerator, took out two eggs, a handful of scallions, a piece of lean meat, and scooped half a bowl of millet from the millet bag.

He rinsed the millet twice, poured it into the rice cooker, added enough water, and pressed the porridge button.

Then we started preparing the other ingredients—

Cut the lean meat into thin strips, marinate with salt, starch, and a little cooking wine; chop the scallions; beat the eggs in a bowl with a little salt and a few drops of water.

[Ding! Breakfast ingredient pre-processing complete. God-level cooking skill experience points +112!]

He placed the wok on the gas stove—making breakfast on a wood-fired stove was a bit of a waste, and gas would be faster.

Heat the pan, add oil, and once the oil is hot, pour in the egg mixture.

The egg mixture expanded rapidly in the pan. He quickly stirred it in circles with a spatula, frying the eggs into golden-yellow pieces until they were about 80% cooked, then took them out.

Add a little more oil to the pan, stir-fry the shredded lean meat until it turns white, then add the scrambled eggs, stir-fry quickly for a few seconds, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve.

Stir-fried shredded pork with eggs, golden yellow against tender white, garnished with bright green scallions, has an irresistible aroma.

[Ding! Stir-fried eggs with shredded pork completed. God-level cooking experience points +128!]

He took two more slices of toast from the refrigerator and toasted them in the bread machine.

The toast comes out slightly golden and crispy.

He spread some butter on it, cut it into triangles, and arranged them on a plate.

The millet porridge in the rice cooker is also cooked. A layer of rice oil floats on the surface of the porridge, and it is of just the right thickness.

He filled two bowls and placed them on a tray, along with scrambled eggs with shredded pork, toast, two pairs of chopsticks, and two spoons, and carried them to the table in the main room.

[Ding! Breakfast preparation complete. God-level cooking experience points +134!]

He was about to call Tingting when a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind—

[Ding! You have reached the required amount of experience points for God-level Cooking Skills!]

[God-level cooking skill upgrade: LV1 → LV2!]

[New skill modules: Nutritional pairing of ingredients, advanced micro-management of cooking time and temperature, refined control of flavor profiles, and optimized visual presentation of dishes.]

[The host's current culinary skills have been upgraded to the intermediate level, further enhancing their cooking abilities.]

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into Chen Hao's mind—

Nutritional information of ingredients, synergistic effects of different ingredient combinations, more precise parameters for controlling cooking temperature, methods for analyzing and regulating flavor profiles, aesthetic principles of food plating...

These things seemed to have always been in his mind, but they had been locked away before, and now they had suddenly been unlocked.

He stood by the stove, closed his eyes, and felt it.

He could "see" the stir-fried pork with eggs he had just made—

The eggs could be made a little more tender, the shredded meat could be marinated for another five minutes, and the chopped green onions should be added before serving, not after.

He can "think of" a hundred ways to improve the dish, each of which can elevate its flavor to another level.

He was overjoyed.

God-level cooking skill LV2 means that his current cooking level has surpassed that of most professional chefs.

At LV1, he was at the Michelin three-star level. At LV2... he didn't know what level that was, but he was definitely stronger than before.

He walked to Tingting's room and gently pushed the door open.

The pink bunny lamp wasn't on yet, the curtains were drawn, and the room was dimly lit.

Shen Xiaoting lay on her side on the small bed, holding a plush rabbit in her arms. The blanket had been kicked to her feet, and one little foot was sticking out, with her toes slightly curled.

Chen Hao sat down on the edge of the bed and gently patted his daughter's shoulder: "Tingting, get up."

Shen Xiaoting stirred, buried her face in the pillow, and mumbled indistinctly, "Sleep a little longer..."

"Dad made a delicious breakfast, including your favorite scrambled eggs with shredded pork and toast."
