I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

Zhou Xing and Lin Chengdong also have a relationship that is unknown to others.

They were classmates in elementary and middle school, and childhood friends who grew up together.

Therefore, Zhou Xing also took advantage of this trend to collaborate with his old friend.

Zhou Xing wants to create a hit children's variety show to increase the channel's popularity.

Lin Chengdong wanted to use the program's content and feedback to understand the current learning life of students and find inspiration.

[Old Lin, why aren't you here yet? The show's almost halfway through.]

I received a message on WeChat from director Zhou Xing urging me on, along with a cat pointing at someone emoji.

Lin Chengdong sent a message and retorted without any politeness:

Stop talking nonsense. So you weren't the one who held all those meetings for me?

I'm already at the door, please send someone to pick me up quickly!

Despite being both in their late forties and appearing dignified in public, they are actually quite funny and goofy in real life.

Despite his high position, Lin Chengdong is widely recognized in the industry as a hard-working and pragmatic person.

He has a good temper, is approachable, and is upright and low-key.

Not wanting to be greeted with excessive formalities, he didn't inform the park authorities, but secretly sent a WeChat message to his old friend Zhou Xing.

Lin Chengdong and his driver got out of the car and immediately spotted a row of Cullinans parked at the entrance.

"Is this a wedding? Why are they parking their wedding cars here?"

Lin Chengdong muttered something to himself in surprise, his reaction almost exactly the same as Zhou Xing's.

The driver looked at it carefully and said:

"Brother Lin, this doesn't look like a wedding car. There are no red flowers hanging on it."

"And they all have consecutive license plate numbers, like the private cars of a large company."

"ah...?"

Upon hearing what the driver said, Lin Chengdong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Old Lin!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a black baseball cap and a red vest appeared at the kindergarten gate.

That was Zhou Xing, the chief director of Kyoto Children's Channel.

Lin Chengdong chuckled and teased:

"Wow, a big director personally picked me up. Looks like I have quite a bit of influence."

Zhou Xing walked over with a smile, greeted the driver briefly, and then said:

"You'd better give me a good boost today, as our big client's daughter is the grand finale."

"At that time, I'll use your connections to help the station get funding to operate new programs."

"It's perfect for you to find some inspiration from it too, so we can kill two birds with one stone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengdong sneered:

"If you're so eager for me to come and greet you personally, you're definitely up to no good."

"As someone in education, my job is my priority. I don't have time to play matchmaker for you."

"If you're so capable, go and do it yourself."

"I'll just show my support for you symbolically, that's all."

Lin Chengdong refused without hesitation and strode forward.

"Tsk, doesn't the education sector also need cooperation and investment?"

"After the show ends, you can give a symbolic closing speech and encourage the children a bit more."

"I'll give you a very close-up."

Zhou Xing wasn't annoyed. He followed Lin Chengdong around, nagging incessantly, mainly using his shamelessness.

Lin Chengdong waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Impossible. I'll only stay for half an hour at most. My next stop is Tsinghua-Peking University High School. Time is very tight."

"A bunch of kids performing, what kind of inspiration can they possibly have?"

He wasn't trying to offend Zhou Xing; he genuinely had something to do.

In Lin Chengdong's view, if you want to quickly find content that fits the policy and the publicity, you must start with the learning and life of contemporary teenagers.

Interviewing students from top schools to understand their inner desires is the simplest and most effective method.

As for kindergarten children, they are only 5 or 6 years old, their minds are not yet mature, what do they know?

When Lin Chengdong arrived, the teacher in charge of receiving him told the principal, Zhang Jinqiu, in a flustered manner. Soon after, a large number of teachers came to greet him.

All the parents' eyes involuntarily fell on Lin Chengdong.

"Director Lin, I am very sorry that we did not greet you immediately. We have been negligent."

Principal Zhang is very good at talking and takes all the responsibility upon herself.

Lin Chengdong said with a sense of helplessness:

"It's not that you've been negligent; it's that I wanted to deliberately keep a low profile."

"The learning environment I want to see is natural, the kind that's unprepared."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Principal Zhang led Lin Chengdong, the deputy director of the Education Bureau, to sit down.

Now it's the turn of the Sunflower Troupe to perform.

In fact, the quality of the content in the Sunflower Class is below average compared to all other classes.

Fortunately, there was Yang Zhiyao as the final act, and now there is also Qian Xiaoyu with a stunning appearance.

The level of sophistication of the class's content was instantly elevated.

Even so, the performance by the Sunflower Troupe was still full of mistakes.

The little girl performing the dance accidentally pulled her hair together because she was too close to the camera.

This caused the two little girls to burst into tears on stage, while the other girls continued their performance normally to the background music, completely ignoring the situation.

It made the parents, teachers, and leaders laugh heartily.

When it was Gu Chenchen's turn to perform a poetry recitation, he slipped and fell on stage because he was too excited while reciting the words "laugh heartily".

Because of his excessive weight, he broke open his pants.

That worked! The whole audience burst into laughter.

Yunyun had received professional ballet training and was not likely to make mistakes, but her sister dressed her up specially to highlight her beauty.

So much so that the little girl accidentally stepped on her dress during her opening appearance and fell on her bottom.

I must say, Yunyun is quite brave. She stood up without crying or making a fuss and continued her performance, emphasizing elegance.

As it turned out, the soft-soled dance shoes were brand new and a little loosely tied. She kicked the shoes off with one leg, and they landed right on Lin Chengdong's head.

Apart from Sister Yun, whose face was flushed red, the parents were all laughing so hard they were clutching their stomachs and exclaiming that it was killing them.

An autumn singing gala was transformed into a circus performance, filling the entire playground with a joyful atmosphere.

The time came to noon.

Under Zhou Xing's earnest persuasion, Lin Chengdong watched the program for about forty minutes.

The show was more interesting than he had imagined, but it didn't provide the kind of inspiration Zhou Xing had described.

Seeing that it was almost time, he got up and prepared to retreat.

At this moment, Director Zhang stood up and sincerely tried to persuade him to stay.

"Director Lin, there is one last program that we have prepared especially for you."

"If you're not in a hurry, please stay a little longer. We can grab a bite to eat after the event, is that alright?"

With Yang Zhiyao, the final contestant, about to take the stage, Principal Zhang wanted to take this opportunity to showcase her talents to the leadership and improve the social reputation of Tongguang Kindergarten.

Lin Chengdong was a very easy-going leader; he was approachable and easy to talk to, but he still looked troubled and said:

"Director Zhang, to be honest, I have an important inspection to attend to this afternoon, so I'm a bit pressed for time."

"I'm truly sorry."

Seeing that the other party had said that, Zhang Jinqiu could no longer try to persuade them to stay.

Just then, the host announced the program from the stage:

[Next, please enjoy the solo song "The Lone Warrior," performed by Yang Zhiyao from the Sunflower Middle Class.]

Everyone's gaze followed the sound, including Lin Chengdong's.

Although she kept saying she wanted to leave, the little girl's carefully dressed up still caught his eye.
