Old Mac has been observing Coco for quite some time. Ever since Jin Xiantai brought his daughter Coco to live in the rehabilitation center under Annie's arrangement, Old Mac has been paying attention to the lively and adorable little one.
Coco is not yet one year old, but she exhibits a magical quality far beyond that of her peers.
However, these are not the main reasons why Old Mac values Coco and has decided to make her the new spokesperson for chocolate and to shoot a new chocolate advertisement.
The key point is that Old Mac has discovered that when Coco eats chocolate, her happy smile and sense of satisfaction can inspire onlookers to have the desire to 'taste the chocolate' as well.
This is what surprises and values Old Mac the most.
Given that the Mac family's confectionery business has reached its current level, he is certainly not a fool or an idiot, and his judgment is not that poor.
Old Mac, keenly aware of this, immediately came up with the idea of having Coco endorse chocolate and shoot a new advertisement.
However, to ensure everything goes smoothly, Old Mac cautiously observed for a few more days.
He gave the little one some chocolate and had the old companions at the rehabilitation center watch together to see their reactions.
The final conclusion was reassuring for Old Mac.
Coco's adorable and happy appearance while eating chocolate indeed attracts everyone and stimulates the old companions' desire to eat sweets.
As for why this happens, Old Mac did not think about it or want to delve into it.
But he was very clear that as long as the little one endorses the chocolate candy series and a new chocolate advertisement is shot and promoted, the sales of the chocolate candy series would definitely increase significantly.
After all, with the 'candy happiness' that Coco exudes, such a situation is bound to occur.
Since it benefits him, why should he delve into it?
Moreover, Coco is truly adorable and mischievous. Even without this magical phenomenon, she would still be a good choice to be the new chocolate advertisement spokesperson.
Besides, the current chocolate series advertisement is an old one from five years ago, which no longer attracts children's attention.
Furthermore, the current chocolate series spokesperson, a former Hollywood child star, has been involved in a series of negative news, including drug use and promiscuity. Continuing to use this person as a spokesperson would have a significant impact on the chocolate series.
Therefore, considering all these factors, shooting a new advertisement and finding a new spokesperson is an urgent matter.
And Coco is a good choice.
The little one is young and very likable, and being of Chinese descent is not an issue.
The public does not care about the ethnicity of cute children.
Moreover, because Coco is young and innocent, she is unlikely to be involved in the kind of scandals that the current child star is, at least for the next ten years.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, having Coco replace the scandal-ridden child star as the new chocolate series spokesperson is definitely a good choice.
"William, this shouldn't be a bad thing. We can let Coco try it. I believe Mr. Mac would not overlook the fact that Coco is young, so he will certainly make sure everything is arranged properly and that Coco won't suffer.
Besides, we can also accompany Coco to the shooting location and look after her. If anything goes wrong, we wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, right?"
To be honest, Annie herself hopes that Coco will give it a try.
If the child in her womb were born and had such an opportunity, she would not miss it.
Displaying one's adorable child through advertisements and media is such a proud thing.
However, Annie understands that what she thinks is not important; what matters is Jin Xiantai's opinion. Therefore, Annie can only offer her small suggestion.
As for the possibility of Coco being bullied or exploited...
Ha!
Annie doesn't think such a situation would occur.
Of course, to prevent such a situation, she has already made plans.
As soon as Jin Xiantai agrees, she will notify the old butler to prepare everything and ensure that such a situation does not happen.
If the adorable little Coco is bullied!
Hmph!
Even if Jin Xiantai lets it go, she won't.
On the Old Mac side, she will also have her lawyer step in to secure the best contract for Coco.
Hehe!
Is the little girl going to earn her dowry?
Ah, spit!
Talking about dowry is too early; it should be about earning pocket money!
Annie's mind wanders, her imagination running wild.
Old Mac then spoke, "That's right, I won't overlook the little one's age. I will consider this and ensure that such a situation does not occur. I will also strive to make the shooting process very enjoyable, so the little one won't feel bored or dislike it..."
Old Mac began making various promises to Jin Xiantai.
After pondering for a moment, Jin Xiantai looked down at the bewildered Coco and asked, "Coco, do you want to shoot an advertisement and be a spokesperson?"
Old Mac found this somewhat amusing.
He thought that although Coco is very smart, she is just a child under one year old, so shouldn't the adults make the decision?
Therefore, Old Mac believed that Jin Xiantai's action was unnecessary.
However, Annie, standing beside Jin Xiantai, had a different view.
She thought that Jin Xiantai's respect for his daughter was commendable, regardless of her age.
At least as a father, Jin Xiantai knew that he couldn't make all decisions for his daughter.
Coco was troubled by her father's question.
What is shooting an advertisement?
She didn't quite understand yet.
And what is being a spokesperson?
She didn't understand that either.
"Daddy, Coco doesn't quite understand. Is this fun?"
Old Mac's mouth curved up, thinking: Black! I knew a child couldn't answer.
Annie remained silent.
Jin Xiantai, however, continued to communicate seriously with his daughter, "It might be fun, but it could also be tiring. However, you can appear on TV and wear beautiful clothes, which many girls don't have the chance to do."
On TV!
Coco's eyes lit up!
This sounds fun!
Thinking about appearing on TV, the little one became excited.
She felt that shooting an advertisement should be quite cool.
"Okay! Coco wants to shoot an advertisement and wear beautiful clothes!"
Well, this means the little one has agreed.
In fact, Jin Xiantai also hopes that his daughter will shoot this advertisement. Regardless of the money, as a parent, who wouldn't want their adorable child to appear on TV and show off to the public?
Jin Xiantai, with the mindset of an ordinary person, also has such thoughts.
Since Coco has agreed and Jin Xiantai wants to show off, the next steps are simple. They just need to wait for Old Mac to present the contract, and then little Coco can start this project.
Old Mac left satisfied and contacted his son to start preparing the relevant matters and the contract.
Jin Xiantai, on the other hand, hurriedly ate breakfast, tried on the custom-made suit, and began to prepare for the charity gala the day after tomorrow.
Annie notified the old butler Nord to find a lawyer to prepare for the contract. Once Old Mac's contract is ready, the lawyer will handle the related matters, nominally using Dave's name.
Little Coco, carefree, forgot about the matter and continued to play with the old companions.

"Jin Xiantai? Oh, I remember him. This child showed unique qualities from a very young age. He was very smart and had a strong sense of justice, making him stand out among all the children in the orphanage."
In a late-night BBC TV program, the host was interviewing a ninety-something-year-old nun. Facing the camera, the old nun recounted Jin Xiantai's childhood 'story'.
Perhaps aware of the recent issues and serious risks on the internet, the BBC produced this program.
The content of the program is simple: BBC reporters visited the orphanage where Jin Xiantai once lived, interviewed and recorded the 'acquaintances' describing some information, and then broadcast it to the public.
The focus of the program is to determine whether Jin Xiantai is of Chinese or Korean descent and to find 'acquaintances' to provide an answer.
Watching the TV, Jin Xiantai felt a mix of emotions, unable to describe his feelings at the moment.
The old nun on TV, talking confidently, was someone he truly did not recognize.
But seeing the old nun immersed in her memories, as if she had really seen him, made Jin Xiantai feel very uncomfortable.
"May I ask, do you know if Jin Xiantai is of Chinese or Korean descent?"
The reporter, holding a microphone, asked a question.
"He should be of Chinese descent. When William asked me this as a child, I answered him the same way."
The old nun was firm in her response.
The reporter quickly followed up, "Why are you so sure?"
Indeed, the people watching the program were curious about this.
Why was the old nun so sure that Jin Xiantai was of Chinese descent?
It didn't make sense.
The old nun, with a nostalgic expression, straightened her body and faced the camera, "Actually, William was not left at the orphanage door. I lied to him. He was brought by a woman covered in blood.
When the woman asked me to keep him, she spoke in Chinese. I understood her because I learned Chinese in the convent when I was young...
I'm sorry, William. You always asked me this as a child, and I didn't want to make you sad, so I lied to you, saying you were left at the orphanage door. I'm sorry."
How melodramatic!
Watching this on TV, Jin Xiantai felt a strong urge to burst out with a mouthful of old blood!
At this moment, he was almost certain that the old nun's statement and her 'memory' were definitely related to the unscrupulous alien elementary school student.
Jin Xiantai even began to wonder if the alien elementary school student had arranged a melodramatic plot for his life, similar to the soap operas of his previous life.
The old nun on TV, with a repentant look, continued to speak, but Jin Xiantai could no longer bear to listen.
Annie's eyes were already filled with tears, showing how such a 'story' could attract and move women.
"William, the nun said the woman who might be your mother was covered in blood..."
Jin Xiantai, feeling annoyed by the melodramatic 'story', appeared 'shocked' to Annie. Therefore, Annie did not continue speaking.
At the same time, Annie mistakenly thought that Jin Xiantai was worried about the woman who might be his mother, which is why he looked 'dazed and confused'.
Annie, overwhelmed with sympathy, walked to Jin Xiantai's side, gently hugged him, and softly comforted, "Don't be sad. We can try our best to follow this clue and see if we can find your mother."
Feeling the warmth and softness in Annie's embrace, Jin Xiantai felt a bit awkward and wanted to push her away, as men and women should not be too intimate.
But Annie's gentle words made Jin Xiantai forget his awkwardness and left him speechless...
