My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 653: The Invitation from the Production Team

Chapter 653: Chapter 653: The Invitation from the Production Team

The next day, Lin Feng boarded a five o’clock flight back to Yangcheng after sending messages to Lin Jie and Wen Xiaoya’s parents.

Xiao Bao was drowsy throughout the journey and fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane. After getting off the plane and having breakfast, Lin Feng took Xiao Bao to school. "Daddy will pick you up at noon today."

When he returned home, Er Bao was catching up on sleep and Zhang Yuxi was also taking a short nap. Lin Feng began to prepare the ingredients for lunch, but his work phone suddenly rang. Lin Feng had two phones: one personal, one for work.

"Hello, this is Lin Feng."

"Good day, I’m from the production team of ’Daddy’s Cute Treasure’s Amazing Adventure, Season 2.’ We would like to invite you and Xiao Bao to participate."

Lin Feng put down the kitchen knife and listened.

"We can discuss the appearance fee and other details in full!"

Lin Feng hummed in acknowledgment. "I’ll get back to you on this later."

"Of course, of course! You can reach me at this number. My surname is Wei." The man quickly added, "Our show is recorded during the school holidays, and we air one episode right after filming it, so it won’t affect the children’s studies. Plus, our show has very high ratings and is extremely popular."

"I’m aware of that," Lin Feng said coolly.

After hanging up, Lin Feng finished preparing the ingredients and then sat on the sofa to research the program. The first season of ’Daddy’s Cute Treasure’s Amazing Adventure’ had been a huge hit two years ago. He had even followed the show in his spare time and watched several of the children become famous.

In fact, the production team had approached him back then. However, Xiao Bao was filming a movie at the time, and taking on a variety show as well seemed like too much, so Lin Feng had declined. When the show premiered, Xiao Bao’s movie ’My Home’ was also being released, and the production team had even ridden her wave of popularity by creating clickbait headlines.

What would happen if Xiao Bao joined ’Daddy’s Cute Treasure’? Regrettably, ’Daddy’s Cute Treasure’ reached out to her but was rejected. The shocking truth behind it is... and so on. Still, I have to admit, ’Daddy’s Cute Treasure’s Amazing Adventure’ was quite entertaining.

At noon, Lin Feng picked Xiao Bao up from school and told her about the invitation. She agreed without any hesitation, excited at the prospect of playing games and being on TV with her father.

After lunch, Lin Feng made sure Xiao Bao took her nap. As if on cue, Wei from the production team called.

"Hello, this is Wei! May I ask what you’ve decided?"

"I’m in Yangcheng now. We can discuss it in person."

「In an afternoon tea cafe.」

The man who greeted him was tall and thin, carrying a backpack. He looked very surprised to see Lin Feng in person. "Hello, hello! I’m Wei. You must be Mr. Lin, right?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Yes. Please, have a seat."

After sitting down, Wei said admiringly, "You look even younger and more handsome in person than in your photos."

Lin Feng gave a faint smile. "I ordered this for you. See if it’s to your liking."

Lin Feng occasionally brought Xiao Bao to this cafe. The place was small, but the food was excellent. After a few bites, Wei was full of praise. "This is delicious!"

He then took a contract out of his bag. "Mr. Lin, here is the contract. Please take a look."

Lin Feng scanned it quickly. Not being an expert in these matters, he passed the contract to his lawyer for review. This was the same lawyer who had handled the incident in Sanya where Si Bao had gotten into a fight. Lin Feng later sought him out again. This year, the lawyer had resigned from his firm to start his own, and Lin Feng became his premier client. He personally handled all of Lin Feng’s affairs, big or small. Now married with children, the lawyer had made a name for himself in Yangcheng. His clientele consisted of the rich and powerful, and Lin Feng would sometimes join them for tea or a game of golf, though these were mostly just for show, as they didn’t have much in common.

The lawyer reviewed the contract and pointed out several clauses that seemed innocuous but contained hidden loopholes. The production team offered different contracts to different guests, and these loopholes inevitably involved money.

Wei was stunned that Lin Feng had brought a professional lawyer. "Ah, well, I will contact my superiors to discuss this."

Lin Feng stated his conditions. "Once the contract is amended, please contact this gentleman."

"No problem at all, Mr. Lin," Wei said quickly.

As soon as Lin Feng and his lawyer left, Wei immediately called his boss. His superiors hadn’t anticipated this. Although Lin Feng’s demands were harsh, who could blame them when Xiao Bao was now such a red-hot star? The Hollywood movie she starred in was receiving rave reviews overseas. When it was released domestically in half a month, no one could imagine how famous she would become. It was anyone’s guess whether they would even be able to get her for the show by then.

That very night, Lin Feng and Wei signed the revised contract. The show would begin recording as soon as the school holiday started. The other two invited guests, who had initially been hesitant, quickly signed their contracts when they heard Lin Feng was on board.

The public was clamoring for the television debut of Lin Feng, the so-called "Nation’s Dad." This topic alone was enough to cause an explosion of interest, not to mention the hype from the international release of her movie, *Battle of the Stars*.

You’d have to be a fool to turn this show down!

「After that, life went on as usual.」

Er Bao supervised Xiao Bao’s studies, while Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi kept busy with their own work. Xiao Bao’s handwriting had improved, proving the practice copybooks weren’t a waste of time. However, her academic performance hadn’t seen much of a boost. Math was her weak point, and her language arts were only slightly better.

Just slightly. For instance, when asked to describe her mother’s personality, Xiao Bao wrote: "My mom is really full of humanity..."

In the parents’ group chat, Lin Feng happened to see a post on the teacher’s social media feed. Unaware of the truth, he laughed after reading it. He then showed it to Zhang Yuxi and even teased, "Honey, sometimes I find kids’ compositions hilarious. Look at this one!"

Zhang Yuxi glanced at it, and her smile froze. "Hold on, let me see that!"

Why did the handwriting look so familiar?

Lin Feng asked, "What’s wrong?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Honey," Zhang Yuxi asked suspiciously, "don’t you think this handwriting looks a bit like Xiao Bao’s?"

Lin Feng took a closer look. "Does it? Hmm, it does look a little similar..."

The more Zhang Yuxi looked, the more certain she became. As a teacher herself, she was very familiar with her own daughter’s handwriting. She scurried off to find Xiao Bao but then stopped herself. At this hour, Er Bao was supervising Xiao Bao’s studies, so she decided it was best not to disturb them.

"Honey, go ask the teacher if this was written by Xiao Bao."

"You want me to ask?" Lin Feng replied.

"Yes, just ask."

Lin Feng thought for a moment before sending the teacher a message. "Teacher, may I ask if the test paper you posted on your feed was written by Xiao Bao?"

"...You could tell?"

"Ah, so it really was her." It’s quite normal for children to use imprecise language. She probably meant to say her mother was reasonable and understanding, but she just didn’t know the right word.

The teacher was so understanding in her private message, but that wasn’t the impression she gave on her social media feed. In her post, she was clearly laughing very hard.

Zhang Yuxi never imagined that the joke was on her all along
