After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

After lunch, Lu Lingzhou took Xiao Ranran and Muchen out for a walk, bought some small toys and snacks, and then returned to the office.

At 2:30 p.m., Lu Lingzhou officially started work, while Xiao Ranran slept in the break room with Mu Chen by her side.

"Mr. Lu is quite busy."

Lu Lingzhou knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and without even looking up, he said, "That's right, after all, we have to raise children."

Murray: ...

"Is the matter with the Mu family resolved?"

"Probably. I don't really care about the rest. Anyway, the current state of the Mu family isn't much different from what I expected." Mu Rui only wanted to vent his anger for his mother and for the sake of what he had experienced as a child.

He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Lu Lingzhou: "Where's Xiao Ranran?"

Lu Lingzhou: "She's resting; she should wake up soon."

"Then I'll wait for him." Murui leaned back in his chair, looking around at the office layout.

"The contract is signed?" So free?

"Since you've already asked, how can I refuse to sign?"

He's been given a chance to get close to Xiao Ranran openly and honestly, so how could he not seize the opportunity?

"However, you have such good taste in choosing me as the spokesperson for your product."

This somewhat arrogant tone made Lu Lingzhou consider changing the person in charge.

He picked up the landline, "Hello, the endorsement contract is up..."

beep...

Murui slammed down the phone.

"Want to back out? It's too late."

He's so smug and arrogant, it makes you want to punch him.

At this moment, his assistant Yan Taiji hurriedly but politely walked in and quickly approached Mu Rui: "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu. My son Rui Rui is so immature. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble. I'll take him away right away."

Yan Taiji pulled Mu Rui outside, whispering anxiously, "Hurry up, we need to shoot a promotional video here to test the waters. Let me tell you, you have to hold on tight to this big sponsor and don't let him down."

Murui withdrew his hand, helplessly saying, "I know, my professional skills are top-notch, okay?"

After Mu Rui left, the door to the lounge behind Lu Lingzhou opened.

Mu Chen came out carrying the little guy who was dressed neatly.

"Beep beep."

The baby's voice, still slightly sleepy, was incredibly endearing, and she even let out a tiny yawn.

Lu Lingzhou's heart softened, and he reached out to hug him. "Little darling, you're awake. Do you want some water?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue water bottle was handed over. "Uncle Lu, here you go."

Mu Chen had already made preparations.

Lu Lingzhou took the kettle, tested the temperature, and then handed it to Xiao Ranran.

Little Ranran took two sips, then suddenly pointed her little finger outside and made a "beep beep" sound.

"Going out?"

Mu Chen explained, "I just heard Uncle Mu's voice inside."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Lingzhou comforted the little one in his arms and said, "Your father has something to do, he'll be over in a bit."

Or should he take him there to take a look?

He remembered that they were probably there to film a promotional video.

After calling Li Rui, Lu Lingzhou confirmed it.

At the same time, he had another idea in mind: he wanted to take this opportunity to announce Ranran's identity to the outside world, and also to make it easier for Murui to publicly acknowledge Ranran in the future.

He didn't want to see his precious little darling being insulted and bullied by outsiders.

The best approach is to take control of the situation.

Moreover, this move could also make the remaining three people feel threatened, and they might not even dare to admit it.

Just do it.

Lu Lingzhou carried the little guy who was drinking water straight to the filming location.

When Mu Chen came out after washing his hands, the office was empty.

At the filming location, Murray was getting his makeup done. He has a good natural look, so all he needs to do is slightly accentuate his facial features.

When Lu Lingzhou brought Ranran over, he had already finished filming a take and was reviewing the results from the director's position.

"Director, Mr. Lu and the young master have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Murui nearly jumped out of his skin.

His little darling has arrived.

The director stood up to greet her, with Murui beside him, his gaze fixed on Xiao Ranran.

Xiao Ranran wanted to call him "Dad," but Lu Lingzhou stopped her, so she could only look at him longingly.

Seeing that little look in his eyes, Mu Rui's heart almost broke. He wanted to hold the little guy in his arms and kiss his soft little face.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here?" The director smiled kindly and extended his hand to shake hands with Lu Lingzhou.

Lu Lingzhou: "I had nothing to do, so I came over to take a look."

"How many have you taken? Let me see."

The director stepped aside: "Okay, this way please."

After watching the first short clip, Lu Lingzhou nodded slightly. "Not bad."

"I have an idea that I'd like to discuss with the director."

"What are your thoughts?" the director asked.

"Add one more person."

Director: ...Are people now using connections so openly and honestly? They even have the CEO come over to say it in person.

"Who?" He had to see if he could refuse, since the script was already prepared.

Lu Lingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the little baby in his arms, "My son."

The director looked over at the same time and met Xiao Ranran's confused yet well-behaved little face.

"Ah, this person is good, very good."

This person can't refuse; if he does, he'll lose his job.

"We need to discuss the rest of the script further."

Lu Lingzhou: "The specific details can be further optimized. Let's release a short video first to see the effect."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

"Um."

Then, Lu Lingzhou naturally handed Xiao Ranran to Mu Rui.

"Let's get to know each other."

Murui quickly hugged her, gave her a grateful look, and then carried Xiao Ranran back to her seat.

The clever boy immediately guessed Lu Lingzhou's intention: to use this opportunity to bring Ranran into the public eye.

Yan Taiji looked at the little baby, covered his mouth in surprise, and exclaimed, "Rui Rui, this child..."

"Yes, it's the one I brought home last time. I never expected it to be the young master of the Lu family. I thought some irresponsible parents had abandoned their child."

"So that's how it is." Yan Taiji also squatted down and teased Xiao Ranran.

Little Ranran had seen him before and reached out her little hand to play with him.

Soon, the director returned and handed a small document to Lu Lingzhou. "Mr. Lu, please take a look and see if it's okay. If it is, we'll film it according to this in a bit."

"However, some lines require the young master's cooperation."

Lu Lingzhou glanced at it a few times and nodded: "Okay."

"Don't worry about the lines, my son can do it."

His tone was quite proud.

The filming began quickly, and Xiao Ranran certainly did not disappoint.

The next morning, a promotional video that was only a dozen seconds long circulated online. At the same time, Lu Lingzhou specially verified the little guy's Weibo account as the young master of the Lu Group and posted a nine-grid picture, all of which were unedited.

As soon as the promotional video was released, the little guy's Weibo followers skyrocketed, all praising how cute Ranran is.

That evening, seeing his follower count remain at 100,000, Lu Lingzhou smiled with satisfaction.

"The road is paved; the rest is up to you."

Murray took a sip of coffee: "Don't worry, I won't let Ranran get hurt, but your reputation might be affected."
