Is This Man The Soundest Dad Ever? Father Outsources Daughter’s Homework To His Employees

It’s pretty hard to say no to your boss if he or she asks you for a favour, and it seems one Chinese man played this to his full advantage by making his employees do his 12-year-old daughter’s homework.

The senior executive’s plan was revealed by the Qianjiang Evening News, after one of his weary workers got fed up with the unusual overtime request.

The employee, who only gave his name as Mr Chen, said it took three days to finish the homework.

"We stayed up late for two nights," he complained. "The girl was quite demanding. She only needed to do one of the four options, but she insisted on doing them all, without actually getting involved herself in any way".

Students were asked to follow their parents back to their home towns, and to either draw a picture, create a video, take photographs or write an essay about the changes that had happened over the past decades.

We bet the little girl in question didn't have a clue in class...

Mr Chen, a professional photographer, said he was in charge of taking the photographs. "My boss said it was practice for me too. But there was a dilemma. I could not take great pictures, since they were supposed to be by a 12-year-old, but if the pictures were bad my boss would blame me."

And apparently, this isn’t the first time the workers have been made give his demanding daughter a dig-out with another employee claiming that they’ve helped with maths homework before.

The Qianjiang Evening News said the local primary school had now cautioned the boss, who remained unnamed. "We do not encourage this sort of thing," a teacher told the Chinese newspaper. "We will have a thorough talk with the parents".
