Director Yang listened to Wen Yan'an's analysis, looked at his card in disbelief, and thought with alarm: Did the program group really leak the questions? That shouldn't be the case, as there are no Wen Group industries among the program group's investors.
Wen Yan'an tilted his head slightly in confusion and asked, "Uncle Yang, is there something wrong with my answer?"
"No." Director Yang snapped back to reality, praising him excitedly, "An'an is very smart."
Receiving praise, Wen Yan'an unconsciously straightened his body, his grape-sized eyes searching the crowd.
【An'an is looking for Fang Miaomiao, right?】
【An'an looks just like someone who got praised and wants to tell their parents.】
【Ahhh, yes, exactly like that, he's so cute, and so smart. He's only 5 years old and speaks so clearly. Look at me, I'm nothing.】
【I feel like his relationship with Fang Miaomiao is quite good.】
【Don't defend her upstairs, An'an is cute, Fang Miaomiao doesn't deserve him.】
【Exactly, that malicious woman Fang Miaomiao, why isn't she dead yet?】
"What are you looking at, An'an?"
Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Wen Yan'an's joy diminished, but he still answered politely, "No, Uncle Yang. What do we need to do next?"
Associate Director Yang glanced at the time, "We are preparing to depart for Hongshan Village now."
Hongshan Village is a small mountain village in a remote mountainous area of A City. Although there are over thirty households in the village, the population outflow is severe. The village is mostly inhabited by the elderly and left-behind children. This season's "Let's Go Traveling Together!" Season 2 primarily combines tourism with rural life, aiming to make more people understand the plight of impoverished mountainous areas and see if local economic development can be boosted.
"Hongshan Village."
"Yes, you have one hour to pack. After one hour, we will head to Hongshan Village."
"Okay, thank you."
One hour later.
The two boarded the sponsor's car and headed to Hongshan Village. The livestream remained on throughout the journey.
【Are this pair really mother and son? One sleeping, one reading?】
【Is Fang Miaomiao a good mother? Doesn't she know that reading in a car is very bad for the eyes?】
【Exactly, this kind of trash, and the program group still hasn't kicked her out.】
"Wen Yan'an."
Wen Yan'an, who was engrossed in reading, turned his head. His large eyes were filled with confusion.
"Reading in the car is very bad for your eyes," Fang Miaomiao said lazily as she opened her eyes. "If you're bored, you can open the window, the sunroof, and look outside."
Wen Yan'an said "Oh" and closed his book, sitting obediently next to Fang Miaomiao.
...
"Mr. Wen, the livestream for the young master and Madam is now live. Madam's reputation is currently polarized."
The speaker was Xin Xuanlai, Wen Zhiyan's assistant and secretary.
"I know." Wen Zhiyan's hand paused as he was signing. After dismissing Xin Xuanlai, he opened the livestream on his phone.
On the screen.
One was sleeping, and the other was sitting and idly playing with his fingers. They seemed to be doing nothing, yet a peculiar sense of tranquility emanated from them, making one feel comfortable. Wen Zhiyan watched until their car arrived at Hongshan Village and they got out before reluctantly shifting his gaze back to his documents. Looking at the documents on his desk, he felt a sense of surprise. It was the first time he had watched what seemed like a boring program so quietly. The image of Wen Yan'an obediently following behind Fang Miaomiao gave Wen Zhiyan some comfort. Although An'an appeared obedient, he was actually quite rebellious. Even his father, Wen Zhiyan, couldn't get many words out of him. This was the first time An'an had agreed to participate in anything related to Fang Miaomiao's program. Initially, he had suspected Fang Miaomiao of threatening An'an, but various pieces of evidence indicated that Fang Miaomiao had no prior contact with An'an, making coercion or bribery impossible. Furthermore, he discovered that much of Fang Miaomiao's publicized image was based on rumors, which was why he felt reassured about An'an being with her. If Fang Miaomiao could treat An'an well and fulfill the role of a mother, it would be beneficial for An'an's future development.
"Fang Miaomiao."
Meanwhile, Fang Miaomiao took out a box from the trunk and handed a small suitcase to Wen Yan'an. Wen Yan'an looked up at Fang Miaomiao.
"Good boy, if you do it yourself, you'll have plenty to eat," Fang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow. "Besides, a man should do his own chores, right?"
Wen Yan'an nodded and then obediently carried the suitcase, which was almost as big as he was, behind Fang Miaomiao. Fortunately, although Hongshan Village was a poor mountainous village, it had cement roads, and the paths were even, which was why Fang Miaomiao felt at ease handing the suitcase to Wen Yan'an.
【The sun looks so harsh. How can Fang Miaomiao be so heartless to let a child carry the suitcase himself?】
【That wicked stepmother Fang Miaomiao would let a child be exposed to the sun, so it's not surprising she'd make him carry his own luggage.】
【Someone said that if An'an were a little older, Fang Miaomiao would have an excuse to make him carry her suitcase too.】
【Honestly, the person upstairs has hit the nail on the head. The program group is crazy for letting Fang Miaomiao participate. This trash program is doomed to fail, and FMM is doomed to fail.】
【What are you afraid of? She has a rich patron behind her. She'll just go back and whine to the old man, and resources will fall from the sky.】
The two quickly arrived at the entrance of Hongshan Village.
"Welcome, Teacher Fang and... arriving first at Hongshan Village. Huh? Where is little An'an?"
The speaker was Chen Tianming, the chief director of "Let's Go Traveling Together!"
"Thank you," Fang Miaomiao nodded slightly and turned to point at the little fellow still climbing the slope behind her. "Look, isn't he right there?"
Chen Tianming touched the few strands of hair on his head that were already sparse and said symbolically, "Teacher Fang, you're really… training the child."
Normally, anyone would feel awkward or embarrassed hearing this, but she wasn't an ordinary person. She smiled politely, "It's our family's tradition. An'an is almost six years old now, so he naturally needs to develop his practical skills. You know, in this society where there are more men than women, boys need an extra skill to stand out."
【"An extra skill to stand out" - what nonsense! I actually find it strangely plausible, help! I'm her anti-fan!】
【Upstairs, remember all the disgusting things she did before. Even 100 pages of PPT wouldn't be enough to list them all. After thinking about that, do you still think what she said makes sense?】
【But her parenting style is actually quite good, isn't it? That suitcase is small, and An'an can definitely carry it himself. You haven't even watched the other livestreams.】
【Yeah, I don't like Fang Miaomiao, but I think she has a point. Go watch Shen Jiani's livestream next door, wow, the twins are so spoiled.】
Ever since Shen Jiani said they couldn't bring too much luggage, the younger twin had been crying, and she didn't stop even after boarding the plane. Upon reaching the station, when the younger twin saw the bus, she cried and refused to get on, saying she had never ridden a bus before and it would dirty her princess dress. In short, while she seemed cute at first, watching her became more and more headache-inducing.
