Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 764 - 762: Ginger Gets Spicier with Age (Part 1)
"Dad, Mom, I promised Nuonuo that she could take on that endorsement."
After dinner, Da Bao confessed to his parents about his backtracking behavior while Nuonuo was practicing the piano. Nuonuo hadn’t mentioned it in front of her parents, seemingly entrusting Da Bao with the burden of persuading them.
"Why?" Le Tong looked shocked at first, then quickly understood and smiled brightly at Da Bao, "Oh... Did that little girl Nuonuo use her charms on you?"
Da Bao rarely got embarrassed since childhood, but suddenly blushed at his mom’s teasing, his handsome face turning slightly red.
Although the scene in his mom’s mind probably didn’t match the reality, the main theme was correct!
Wasn’t he simply unable to resist Nuonuo’s charms?
"Mom!" Da Bao was somewhat annoyed and turned to glare at Ji Rui, "Mr. Ji, look at your wife, what is she saying? Aren’t you going to do anything about it?"
Ji Rui, who was looking at the stock market trends on his laptop, raised an eyebrow and glanced at his son.
"I agree with your mom’s perspective. That girl Nuonuo must have used some unconventional means to make you change your mind instantly."
Da Bao sighed helplessly; compared to his mom’s talk of charms, his dad’s talk of unconventional means was more likely to lead people astray.
"Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you!" Clearly at a disadvantage, Da Bao didn’t want to play word games with his parents. "It’s like this, Nuonuo asked Mr. Mai for an audition opportunity herself. At noon at grandpa’s place, she suddenly told me she was going to audition in the afternoon."
Da Bao felt that Nuonuo had thoroughly utilized him in this matter.
"The person auditioning with her was a model Mr. Mai originally planned to sign. The director didn’t specify requirements, just wanted Nuonuo and the model to wear the same attire and show off freely on stage in succession. As a result, Nuonuo received unanimous approval from Mr. Mai, the director, the photographer, and the designer."
Le Tong looked proudly at her son’s demeanor and teased him with a smile, "Including you, you approved as well, right?"
Da Bao shrugged, "That’s right, so I agreed to let Nuonuo take on this endorsement again. Dad, Mom, you didn’t see how Nuonuo looked at that time; she looked like an ethereal fairy, breathtakingly beautiful."
Le Tong only smiled, but Ji Rui looked at Da Bao with a meaningful glance, "My little princess daughter is surely beautiful! Of course, I must admit, to you, it might be a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder."
"Dad, Mom, aren’t you missing the point? We’re discussing the endorsement issue, not whether it involves charms or beauty. If I recall, your initial reasons for not wanting her to take on this endorsement were similar to mine. Why aren’t you finding it strange now?"
Da Bao admitted his parents were different, facing such sudden changes, anyone else would at least frown and worry a bit. But they seemed unchanged and continued chatting and laughing as usual.
No wonder their appearances hadn’t changed much over the past decade. Perhaps they never saw things as issues to worry about.
Le Tong took a sip of tea with a determined look.
"Silly son, after hearing Nuonuo’s ambitious speech the other night, your dad and I had already mentally prepared ourselves. As long as Mr. Mai was willing to sign Nuonuo, the first to agree would undoubtedly be you."
Da Bao couldn’t help but admit his parents’ predictive abilities!
Truly, wisdom comes with age; why hadn’t he thought of it like his mom did?
Da Bao had initially prepared a bunch of arguments to persuade his parents, but they appeared happy, making it clear that his speeches were wasted.
"Mom, seeing how you both react, you’re not planning to stop Nuonuo anymore, right?" Da Bao confirmed responsibly.
Le Tong seriously assessed Da Bao, "Baby, Nuonuo is your girlfriend. We have no doubts about your boyfriend’s strength, so your decision is ours."
Le Tong and Ji Rui couldn’t compete with Da Bao over Nuonuo matters. Besides, that passionate speech the other night had thoroughly convinced Le Tong.
"Alright, that’s settled. I’ll arrange the subsequent things."
By subsequent matters, Da Bao meant the protective measures following Nuonuo’s signing.
"Yes, let me know if there’s anything you need me to handle," Ji Rui was quite aware of his responsibilities as a father.
"Dad, you underestimate the title of Ji Family Crown Prince. Don’t worry, these things are nothing for you and mom to worry about."
Ji Rui and Le Tong exchanged a glance, and it wasn’t necessarily the reputation of the Ji Family Crown Prince that was impressive, but rather the name Ji Yu had in recent years been hailed as a rising star in the business world by many industry insiders and media.
So, when he went out to handle things, what he leveraged might be his own reputation.
After discussing Nuonuo’s issue, Le Tong suddenly remembered another matter.
"Da Bao, the principal called me this afternoon asking if I knew about the exchange student program at First High School next semester."
"Does Si Jun want to go?"
"Probably because he had to cover some costs himself, Si Jun didn’t sign up at the end of last semester."
Le Tong hadn’t heard anything about it from Si Jun, nor from Nuonuo either.
Da Bao pondered for a moment, then picked up his laptop, opened it, and went to the First High School website of R City.
Sure enough, there was an announcement about exchange students for sophomores.
He clicked on the detailed requirements, skimmed through them, and called Le Tong over to look. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Mom, check to see if Si Jun meets these requirements."
Since the principal regularly reported on the children’s academic situations to Le Tong, she was very familiar with Si Jun’s school performance.
Including various behaviors and academic performances at school.
Le Tong compared each requirement, and reaching the end, found that they were all met.
"Passed 100%! Strange, why didn’t the principal mention this to me before?"
Da Bao also found it odd; given the principal’s level of care for Si Jun, he wouldn’t possibly miss such a great opportunity.
"I’ll call the principal to ask..."
Le Tong was action-driven; as she said this, she already dialed out the number.
"Hello principal, this is Le Tong."
"Yes, correct! I wanted to ask about the information regarding the First High School exchange students; is it reliable? Was it announced by the school?"
"Oh, I see. Alright, I’ll look into it further."
Le Tong hung up the phone and looked at Da Bao.
"The principal said it was mentioned by the other two high school kids, but Si Jun never brought it up. When asked today, he flatly said he wouldn’t go. I suppose it’s due to the partial self-financed fee issue."
