Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1771 True Love Substitute 6
Some might wonder, if Fu Yunyi could understand something—that he couldn't persuade Linlang to be their substitute—wouldn't the other male leads understand it too? If they could understand it, why did they still contact Linlang?
That's because there are certainly some clever people among them.

Since these people are the female lead's backup options in the novel, they are naturally all quite good and intelligent, so it's normal that someone would come up with a good plan.

This is the person who moved to Linlang Community.

This man, Jiang Ming, handed Linlang a business card after meeting her, exchanged names with her, and then told her that he had a business deal he wanted to discuss with her, asking if that was possible.

Linlang noticed that this man surnamed Jiang was much more polite to her than he had been in her original world, and she wanted to see what he would do.

So he immediately said, "Sure, I'm all ears."

Jiang Ming then said, "This is not the place to talk. My humble abode is just ahead. I wonder if it would be convenient for Miss Li to come inside and discuss this further? If Miss Li is still concerned, we can also arrange to meet at a coffee shop or somewhere else outside."

Linlang waved her hand and said, "It's alright. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. I think President Jiang is a person of importance, so he shouldn't do anything to me."

Judging from the original owner's memories, Jiang Ming only used the original owner as a substitute. It seems that he did not deal with the original owner after Jian Rong came. At most, he severed ties with the original owner after Jian Rong returned. He is a person with some bottom line. This is why Lin Lang is not afraid of him. If it were any of the other children, Lin Lang would not dare to be so at ease.

In addition, since Jiang Ming did not harm the original owner in the original world, Linlang will naturally not punish him in the future, which is why she is willing to communicate with him now.

Otherwise, if she had planned to deal with this person in the future, Linlang probably wouldn't have communicated with him so gently.

Hearing Linlang's words, Jiang Ming smiled and took her to his villa.

Upon arriving at his place, Jiang Ming inquired about Linlang's preferences, poured her a cup of tea, and then said, "To be honest, Miss Li, I have a crush on someone, but that person married someone else, and I can't get over it right now. Miss Li looks remarkably like the person I admire, so I'd like to find you to imitate his mannerisms and speech, and when I need you to, play the role of that person and interact with me. I wonder if Miss Li would be willing. Don't worry, Miss Li, the payment won't be small; I will pay you the salary of a top-tier actor."

When Linlang heard him say that, she thought to herself that this guy was quite clever. If he had directly asked her to be his stand-in, it would have angered her. She would definitely not have agreed and might have turned around and left. After all, she had so much money now, why should she be his stand-in? But when this guy said that he wanted her to be an actress, to play another person, and to pay her the same rate as an actress, the situation was different.

No wonder this person dared to move into her neighborhood; it turns out he had already planned how to persuade her before he came.

Needless to say, if she were asked to be a stunt double, she would definitely slap the other person. But if the other person asked her to play another person and offered her the salary of a top-tier actor, the nature of the situation would immediately change.

Linlang didn't refuse at the moment, and said, "Then this price is not low. Since you were able to find me, you must have investigated me. I am a top streamer now, earning millions a day." Seeing that Linlang was willing, Jiang Ming quickly said, "Money is not a problem."

Although Linlang's demands were certainly substantial, he wasn't unable to pay them.

Linlang saw that he was willing to be a sucker, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, the current him gave her much more than the original owner of the body in the original world. It would be a fool not to make money when you can.

Moreover, since Jiang Ming has set such a high price, if the other people come to her in the future and also ask to play the role, she can bring up Jiang Ming and say that she will not accept the job if the payment is lower than Jiang Ming's. That way, she can rip off the other people, especially those bad guys, and fleece them as much as possible, since these people are not short of money anyway.

However, Linlang added, "Although I took this job, I'm not an actor by training, so I can't guarantee that I can portray the character you like. Don't blame me if that happens. Anyway, if you don't think it's good, just stop hiring me. I won't tolerate insults."

Actually, she had worked as an actress in some other worlds, and it wasn't impossible for her to play other people. However, she didn't want to set too high expectations for others, lest their demands become increasingly high. She didn't want to drag herself into trouble. There was no need to take these trashy people's acting so seriously. After all, these people weren't innocent viewers. She had to be worthy of the money they paid her, and just give a passable performance.

Hearing Linlang's prior statement, Jiang Ming wasn't angry. After all, as Linlang said, she wasn't a professional actress, so it wasn't her fault if her acting wasn't convincing. Linlang had plenty of money now and was definitely not the kind of person who could put up with being humiliated, so it was normal for her to say something like that beforehand.

Jiang Ming then said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Just like Linlang said, if all else fails, just stop hiring. There's no need to scold Li Linlang. You know, she's a top streamer on the short video platform. If someone dares to scold her, she'll expose it online. With so many of her fans, if she starts attacking him, even his business will suffer.

Although Li Linlang probably wouldn't leak it online—after all, it wouldn't be good for her to reveal that he paid her to play someone he liked—who knows? What if he didn't care and leaked it? It might affect her, but it would also affect him. He didn't want his stocks to drop a few points because of Linlang's careless talk, and his products to go unsold.

Seeing that he had agreed, Linlang took her leave and went back. After all, Jiang Ming hadn't said that they would perform today; he had only given her a script to look at—which was actually about Jian Rong's words and actions, and he wanted her to go back and learn from it.

Not only did they give Linlang a script, but they also gave her a large sum of money, saying it was her first performance fee, which showed great sincerity.

Because Jiang Ming was somewhat sincere, when he invited her to dinner and asked her to act like Jian Rong, Lin Lang also acted very sincerely. Lin Lang followed the information Jiang Ming gave her, dressed up and made up exactly like Jian Rong, wore the same smile as Jian Rong, and spoke in a similar tone. This made Jiang Ming feel a little dazed, as if Jian Rong had returned.

Linlang was able to act so well because she had been watching Jian Rong's surveillance footage for a year. She had basically mastered Jian Rong's speech, smiles, and even personality. Imitating her was a piece of cake for her. Her acting was naturally much more superb than that of the original owner who had never met Jian Rong.

Seeing Jiang Ming's dazed expression, Lin Lang knew she had succeeded. She thought that if others knew she looked a lot like Jian Rong, they would probably offer her even more money to play Jian Rong. Being able to rip off these people would be a small revenge for the original owner of this body. And that was why she acted so convincingly—to lure others into the trap.
