Chapter 8 Video Conference: The Tyrant Braids the Baby's Hair?

The video conference lasted for more than an hour. Duan Hetong leaned back in his chair, his fingertips touching, and listened to the person in charge report on the bidding plan with a blank expression.

In the dozen or so sections on the screen, the executives all had tense expressions.

The lingering influence of the "tyrant's" public outburst two days ago still kept people from offending him.

"We must win this bid." Duan Hetong said coldly. "Go ahead and do it."

"But profits..."

The study door was pushed open.

A patch of sky blue appeared at the edge of the frame. Duan Hetong caught a glimpse of the small figure out of the corner of his eye. Before he could even turn off the microphone, the child's sweet voice had already clearly entered the video conference—

"Bang bang, comb your hair?"

The faces on the screen were all blank.

The little baby was wearing a tutu, and his little bun on the left side was completely undone, with his hair all messed up, looking like a little bird that had just been in a fight.

She walked up to Duan Hetong, but she wasn't even as tall as the desk, so the camera could only capture her small hand holding the comb high.

Duan Hetong glanced at her, then at the screen.

The executives all looked away. Some pretended to flip through documents, while others stared intently at their water glasses. The one who had spoken earlier even lowered his head to an angle where the camera couldn't see him.

Duan Hetong told everyone to wait a moment, then asked Wen Li, "What's wrong?"

"Auntie combed it, but it's all messed up." Little Wenli shook the comb, looking on expectantly. "Li Bao can't comb it, how about you comb it with a 'smack' sound?"

Duan Hetong lifted Wen Li onto the table, adjusted the angle, and gently untangled her hair strand by strand.

His movements were clumsy, but he was very serious, his brows always slightly furrowed, as if he were handling a bid that could lose hundreds of millions of dollars if he made a single mistake.

The executives on the other side of the screen stared wide-eyed as the head of the Duan family, a company worth hundreds of billions, spoke softly and gently as a stay-at-home dad.

...Who possessed the tyrant?!

The little dumpling was thoroughly enjoying herself, swinging her legs back and forth, occasionally letting out a "hiss," at which point the adults would immediately slow down; once she was comfortably combed, she would hum contentedly, like a kitten whose fur had been stroked.

The final result was uneven, with one side higher than the other, and it was a very difficult outcome.

Wen Li touched her face in the mirror: "Bang, it's crooked."

Duan Hetong remained unfazed: "Twisted fashion."

Before Duan Hetong picked her up, the executives heard the little dumpling earnestly instructing, "Baba, don't be angry, be a good girl."

The door closed.

Duan Hetong switched from his super dad mode back to his tyrant mode, looking at his subordinates indifferently as if nothing had happened: "Continue."

The executives quickly composed themselves.

But everyone knew that the screenshot would soon be circulating throughout the entire group.

Duan Hetong sent a message to the housekeeper: 【Rehire someone who can braid hair.】

He glanced at the small comb that Wen Li had forgotten to take, and changed his mind again.

Never mind, it's not necessary.

From then on, he would personally comb Li Bao's hair.

Just as the rumors reached their peak, Duan Hetong unexpectedly brought Wen Li to a formal business cocktail party.

Most of the prominent businessmen and celebrities in Tan City were present, including Zhou Huateng, the chairman of Huateng Group.

Little Wenli was led along obediently by Baba. The adults were so tall, and the air was filled with the smell of perfume, which made her nose itch.

But what bothered her more was that many people pointed and whispered about her along the way.

"This is that illegitimate daughter..."

"Ha, I thought someone surnamed Duan was a diamond bachelor, but it turns out he's so promiscuous..."

"The Duan family's image this time can be considered..."

She couldn't understand the content, but she could see the malice in it.

Wen Li was a little scared, but she felt even more uncomfortable with Ba Ba.

The adults' expressions were very calm, as if they hadn't heard anything. They were mostly distant from people, exchanging only a few pleasantries occasionally.

But Wen Li could feel that Ba Ba's hands were a little colder than usual.

Zhou Huateng walked over with a wine glass in hand, a forced smile on his face: "President Duan is still so young and promising. With you at the helm, even if we encounter some storms, the Duan Group ship won't capsize."

Duan Hetong glanced at him indifferently: "No need for you to bother."

Zhou Huateng smiled and looked at Wen Li, his gaze making the little dumpling tremble slightly.

"This is the one I've been talking about..." He paused deliberately, making everyone around him prick up their ears, "Mr. Duan, having offspring is a good thing, why don't you introduce him to everyone?"

Wen Li shrank back behind Duan Hetong.

She overheard her family saying that this was the person who had made her grandfather and father sick recently.

He's a bad person.

The bad guy was saying some really annoying things, and Baba looked very uncomfortable.

Pear Baby wants to help Baba.

Milk Dumpling rummaged through her shop's warehouse and found many opened but unused boxes.

One of the purple boxes had a picture of a small projector-like machine.

After selecting the option, Wen Li heard a chorus of exclamations and Zhou Huateng's panicked voice: "What...what...what's going on?"

A huge, glowing barrage of comments appeared out of thin air above Zhou Huateng's head:

Embezzlement of 3.2 million yuan in public funds

The comments continued to scroll.

[Falsified four tender documents]

[Bribed a lawmaker 800 million]

[Harassment of 26 employees, both men and women]

Each one scrolled back and forth like a neon light, attracting everyone's attention.

Some people covered their mouths, and some almost dropped their wine glasses.

Zhou Huateng's face turned a deep shade of liver with anger: "Who, who's playing a prank?!"

Several entrepreneurs who had cooperated with Zhou Huateng silently took a few steps back, as if Zhou Huateng were carrying a plague.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake off the comments. After looking around, he glared angrily at Duan Hetong: "Was this your doing—?"

Duan Hetong was also somewhat surprised, but remained calm on the surface: "When did Chairman Zhou's company develop this technology? Please share it with everyone."

Snickers rose from the surrounding area.

As more and more scandals broke out, Wakin Chau rushed out of the party in a disheveled state, with the comments section faithfully following him all the way into the elevator.

The last line of comment everyone saw was: "[The evidence is all in the sister-in-law's bedroom.]"

Amidst the surging murmurs, Duan Hetong looked at the little bundle of milk.

Wen Li held the small cake, her little hands trembling—

More than nervous, I felt excited.

Duan Hetong wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and then raised an eyebrow at her.

The little dumpling looked completely innocent: "Pear doesn't know anything."

"Is that so?" Duan Hetong subtly curled the corners of his lips. "Perhaps it's magic."

The incident involving bullet comments fueled Zhou Huateng's hatred, leading him to hire a lawyer to sue Duan Hetong for defamation.

But the Duan family acted even faster, finding evidence overnight and submitting it to the regulatory authorities.

A few days later, Zhou Huateng was taken away for investigation, Huateng's stock price plummeted, and while the Duan family won the bid, public opinion on the Internet also reversed.

Insiders revealed that Duan Hetong is kind-hearted and rescued innocent children from the clutches of abusive and cheating men and women, and adopted them. The so-called illegitimate daughter scandal was a commercial attack orchestrated by Huateng Group to win the bid.

Netizens who had criticized Duan Hetong apologized one after another, and the censored screenshot of CEO Duan braiding the baby's hair garnered a lot of comments such as "The domineering CEO and his adorable baby melt my heart" and "I don't know who to envy first."

As for Little Pear, whose true identity everyone was curious about, she was sucking her thumb and looking at her newly upgraded blind box shop.

[Help your family member overcome a major crisis, +5000 points, current points: 6000. New rarity item unlocked.]

Besides affection points, you can also earn points by helping family members and completing system tasks!

Nowadays, stores not only allow you to randomly open blind boxes, but also exchange them for fixed open boxes.

There were so many things on the shelves that it made my head spin.

But the topmost grid is gray and still locked, bound by chains.

It depicts a little angel making a wish, holding a star in its hands.

【SP·All-Purpose Wish】

Points required for redemption: 1000000

The milk ball stared at the number, counting it over and over again.

one two Three……

How much is it with so many zeros? Pear Baby is bad at counting.
