After recording the show, Shen Mingyou became even busier. 

Besides filming an ad for Sanyan Technology, her agent received many endorsement and variety show offers. However, since “Super Mom” is still ongoing, Shen Mingyou won’t take part in other variety shows for now. She is not short of money, so endorsements are more about quality than quantity to her. 

What she really wants is to act. 

Among the scripts Yu Zhen has, there is one that Shen Mingyou immediately liked. 

“Do you really want to take on the role directed by Qin Song?” Yu Zhen asked, holding the script. 

Shen Mingyou is very popular right now, and many scripts are being sent her way, but they vary in quality. Qin Song’s script is excellent. 

Qin Song is known for making successful fantasy dramas. His shows are always hits, and many stars have gained fame through his work. Even minor roles in his dramas can lead to great opportunities. 

Despite many fairy tale and historical dramas being overdone, Qin Song is known for his unique and high-quality scripts. He takes years to craft each one, constantly breaking new ground in creativity. 

Yu Zhen read the script and believes it will definitely be a hit. 

The issue is that Qin Song directed a play from which Shen Mingyou resigned before he retired. Qin Song was unhappy with her departure. 

So, although the script ended up with Yu Zhen because the producer was pleased with Shen Mingyou, the role offered was the second female lead, while Shen Mingyou wants the female lead. 

“You must get up from where you fell,” Shen Mingyou said firmly about getting this role. 

“If you want the female lead, it’s possible,” Yu Zhen said. “Only the female lead and the second female lead are undecided. The second female lead is easy to choose, but Qin Song is very particular about the female lead. Even big stars must audition for it.” 

“Then I’ll audition.” 

Shen Mingyou was excited about the audition, but it was in S City. She needed to fly there a day early and return the next day. 

So, after leaving her company in the morning, Shen Mingyou went to Jiang Chen’s company with Nian Nian instead of going home. 

Lingyu Capital, Jiang Chen’s company, is in the prime area of City A and looks impressive. 

This was Shen Mingyou’s first visit to Lingyu Capital. For the past five years, she had mostly lived abroad with Nian Nian. Even when she lived in China earlier, she never visited Lingyu Capital. 

Jiang Chen was often too busy for her to visit the office, so she chose not to come. 

“Mom, I’m not going in,” Nian Nian said unhappily, knowing her mother would leave her with her father and go on a business trip. “Take Nian Nian with you.” 

“Nian Nian, Mom will be back tomorrow,” Shen Mingyou said. “We’ll spend the morning at Dad’s company, and then I’ll leave. Is that okay?” 

“Okay then,” Nian Nian agreed reluctantly, seeing her mother’s determination. 

Shen Mingyou kissed her daughter and went into the company. The employees recognized her right away. 

“It’s the boss lady and little princess Nian Nian!” 

“Wow, I never thought I’d see them here. The boss lady is even more beautiful in person. CEO Jiang has great taste!” 

“Nian Nian is so cute. We’re all her fans. I wonder if it’s too much to ask for an autograph.” 

… 

The employees were whispering and taking pictures. The front desk also recognized Shen Mingyou and sent a message to the top floor. They escorted her to the elevator and helped her press the button for the top floor. 

Shen Mingyou thanked the young receptionist. 

“Thank you, sister.” Nian Nian added her thanks. 

“Ah, you’re welcome. I’m such a big fan!” the receptionist said excitedly before the elevator door closed. 

Nian Nian was upset, “Mom, why does that sister love you? You’re my mom.” 

Nian Nian didn’t understand why others would love her mother when she should be the one to think about her own mom. 

Shen Mingyou smiled and said, “Nian Nian is Daddy’s daughter, so Daddy can love Nian Nian, right?”

Nian Nian nodded.

“Then can Mommy love Nian Nian too?”

“Of course, you can; you’re the mother.”

“So, if Mom and Dad love Nian Nian, and grandparents love Nian Nian too, if one person thinks only they can love Nian Nian, isn’t that wrong? A person can have many roles and be loved by many people.”

Nian Nian seemed to understand a bit but not completely.

As they chatted, the elevator reached the top floor.

When the door opened, Assistant Fang, who had been informed earlier, was there to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Assistant Fang led them to Jiang Chen’s office.

“Boss Jiang is in a meeting right now. Should I go in and tell him you’re here?”

“No need,” Shen Mingyou replied. “We can wait here.”

“Okay, let me know if you need anything.”

After Assistant Fang left, he decided not to interrupt the meeting. Although the boss’s wife and daughter were there, President Jiang usually disliked disruptions during meetings.

Shen Mingyou entered Jiang Chen’s large office, which had a wall lined with books. There was a lounge behind the office. Shen Mingyou opened the door and found it well-equipped, suggesting that Jiang Chen had used it to rest during late work nights.

Jiang Chen, frustrated after a whole morning of unproductive meetings, was displeased with his team’s performance. As Assistant Fang approached to report, Jiang Chen interrupted with a grumpy tone, “What’s the matter? Let’s discuss it in the office.”

Entering his office, Jiang Chen noticed something unusual. His black office chair, which was originally facing the desk, was now turned. The chair spun around, and to his surprise, a little girl wearing his gold-rimmed glasses was sitting on it. She held a signing pen and kept adjusting the glasses that were too big for her.

“Nian Nian is the big boss here. You must knock before entering and be polite, otherwise Nian Nian will deduct your salary,” the little boss declared.

Jiang Chen: “…..”
