Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 420: I’m the Little Boss

Gu Cheng works with high efficiency and extreme thoroughness.

In less than two days, he had thoroughly investigated the three programs that his younger siblings were interested in. The investigation covered the program process, past evaluations of the directors, producers, investors, and most of the information about guests.

"Overall, these three programs are all good."

"Calligraphy and Painting Appointment" is a series program. Previous feedback on other programs was good, and this one is more educational, not so fixated on ratings. With such a good precedent, the likelihood of this program going off track is very low.

Furthermore, this program is pre-recorded, allowing Duan Xiayou to record several episodes at once without needing to travel back and forth.

Programs previously planned by Director Le were of good quality, and the experts invited this time are basically reliable, so the chance of problems with "Treasure Appraisal Storm" is also not high. Treasure appraisal programs rarely go live, and since "Antiques Have Words" failed, Director Le will be especially cautious during live broadcasts to learn from past mistakes.

As for "Little Boss," Director Zheng has always had a good reputation, and there are no issues with the investors found so far. The problem might be that the little guests need to face the camera alone, which parents may not be comfortable with, so they haven’t been fully recruited yet.

When the contract arrived, Gu Cheng teamed up with a regularly collaborating lawyer to carefully study the contract, ensuring there were no hidden pitfalls and nothing detrimental to his younger siblings.

Ji Zhangzhuo has always been the one considering others. He needs to be responsible for his followers; even if he’s not interested in that position, he will ensure his subordinates’ future prospects and will not treat them poorly.

Almost no one considers things for him. The only one who used to, his mother, passed away long ago.

Holding the contract, Ji Zhangzhuo was silent for quite a while before suddenly calling out, "Big brother."

Gu Cheng was braiding his sister’s hair, and upon hearing this, he looked up at him, somewhat confused, "?"

Ji Zhangzhuo chuckled and didn’t explain.

Duan Xiayou glanced at his own contract, then at him, and didn’t expose him either.

The day after signing the contract, Duan Xiayou went out to record the program.

When he returned, Ji Zhangzhuo had gone to live stream a program.

"Little Boss" still hadn’t managed to find all its guests, leaving Tuanzi to practice martial arts at home, occasionally watching Duan Xiayou film videos.

At this moment, Tuanzi was squatting in the corner, resting her face in her hands as she watched from a distance.

Gu Chi was filming a video, occasionally giving a few reminders to Duan Xiayou.

"Senior brother suddenly became so hardworking, it’s not like him at all."

Previously, Duan Xiayou would lie down whenever he had spare time; even if not asleep, he would pretend to be when asked to get up.

Recently, however, if he wasn’t recording a program, he was filming videos, seeming to have lost weight in the process.

[Ancient Martial System: It might be because he has debts, also, weren’t they planning to buy a house to settle senior brother down? This might be senior brother’s determination.]

Tuanzi pouted, "Little junior sister also has determination, but the program isn’t cooperating."

[Ancient Martial System: Parents have their own considerations, worried about children encountering problems.]

Tuanzi clenched a fist and promised, "Miaomiao will protect them!"

The system remained silent after hearing this.

Those who would unconditionally believe in her were always her elder brother and senior brothers; strangers wouldn’t trust her just because she knew martial arts.

Fortunately, just as May was approaching, "Little Boss" finally gathered all the little guests.

This adorable kid variety show is a live broadcast, tentatively set for six episodes, with each store featured for two episodes. The director pre-selected three stores, one located in the city, one in a suburban area, and one in a rural area.

The first live broadcast location was a small supermarket in the countryside.

Friday, Hu City, Zhu Family Village.

Early in the morning, the little guests, alongside their parents, arrived in the village, then proceeded to a small supermarket in the village.

Zhu Family Village actually had another convenience store. Initially, Director Zheng wanted to rent the convenience store for shooting, but it was just too small to accommodate several machines, leaving the supermarket as the only option.

However, this supermarket was not large either, and its interior and exterior design had a distinct rural charm, meeting Director Zheng’s requirements.

The supermarket had several fixed camera positions, and each little guest had a dedicated follow-up videographer.

However, since the guests would mainly be active inside the supermarket, the videographers wouldn’t move around much.

The program’s live streaming room was multi-layered, and viewers could choose which one to watch.

A few of the little guests’ parents were quite well-known, and once they promoted it, many people were waiting in the live streaming room on that day.

[Where’s Miaomiao, I haven’t seen Miaomiao for a long time, hurry and let big sister give you a kiss]

[Gu Cheng: Death stare.jpg]

[Once again seeing Danbo and Feng Yi, Feng Yi let her hair grow long, but the siblings still look quite alike]

[Five guests, are the other two newbies?]

[Not completely newbies, it seems Zhong Yi’s mom is a dancer]

[Lu Feiyong’s dad is a screenwriter, and that very popular drama was originally written by his dad, very talented]

Initially harmonious, the live streaming room soon began attracting naysayers.

[Another show planning to let kids take charge, anyone remember the criticized children from before? Shows like this have no morals, they’ll be banned sooner or later]

["Little Boss" is exploiting tragedy, deliberately hyping the unfortunate child’s incident]

[Why is Gu Miaomiao everywhere, getting fed up with this aesthetic]

[Could online rumors be true, Ai Jie and Gu Cheng possibly dating secretly? Otherwise, how come their child plays so well?]

[I bet this program will hit rock bottom in ratings]

The five kids didn’t even know they had been tagged as potentially getting fired after just one episode before they officially became little bosses.

They were earnestly introducing themselves.

Tuanzi was already acquainted with the twins, knowing they would be there, she was calm in demeanor.

Zhong Yi and Lu Feiyong were new faces, unfamiliar with the others and feeling a bit uneasy.

Zhong Yi was not yet five, younger than Tuanzi, had fair and chubby cheeks compared to Tuanzi, and started wailing on seeing his mother leave.

Tuanzi, quick to react, tossed a candy into his mouth.

The sweet taste spread, and with teary eyes, Zhong Yi decided to finish the candy before crying; it wouldn’t be right to waste it.

Tuanzi was satisfied; packing extra candy beforehand paid off.

[Ancient Martial System: This is your last pack of candy; when it’s gone, there’ll be no more.]

Tuanzi was dumbfounded.

Director Zheng was already explaining the program flow.

"For these three days, you are the owners of this small supermarket. If anyone comes to buy something, you sell it, that’s simple enough, right?"

Aside from Zhong Yi, who was still eating candy, the other children eagerly shouted, "Got it!"

Director Zheng laughed, eyes narrow, "Now comes the question. Can you all read? Can you recognize each product’s price? Do you know the value of different banknotes and coins? Can you give the right change? What if there’s electronic payment, do you know how to confirm you’ve received the money?"

The five kids all hugged their heads with their little hands, just short of saying ’Master, please stop talking!’
