The CEO and the Live-In Male Nanny Under One Roof

Former multinational-company manager until age forty-four, now a live-in male nanny: this is the career change Cheng Zhiyuan least wants on his résumé. When unemployed Cheng Zhiyuan helps a disheveled young father calm his crying child in a park, he has no idea this small act of kindness will turn his life upside down. Shen Xu, a thirty-one-year-old tech tycoon, makes him an offer too good to refuse: ✔ Three times his previous salary ✔ A nanny’s room with a private bathroom ✔ The only job requirement: make his son Xiaoyang, born through surrogacy, feel genuine fatherly love. “You’ve managed a team of twenty? Perfect. My son is the most difficult ‘subordinate’ I’ve ever had.” Bearing his ex-wife’s mockery and the industry’s disapproving stares, Cheng Zhiyuan steps into this unconventional family of two and a half men. From drawing up a child’s daily schedule to secretly adjusting the CEO’s business decisions, from being shunned by the neighborhood nanny group to becoming a parenting consultant, when a corporate crisis and family conflicts erupt at the same time this middle-aged man cast aside by society somehow becomes everyone’s last lifeline. Key Highlights: A family of two unrelated male leads: breaking away from traditional family models to portray the diversity of modern human relationships. The absurd collision of work and parenting: the surprising chemistry of applying corporate management skills to raising a child. The identity crisis of middle-aged men: a sharp look at the social discrimination that makes “unemployed middle-aged men” invisible. The heart of mutual healing: the CEO provides material security, while the nanny rebuilds a spiritual home.
