Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 14 14. New Age Bully

Lin Xiao was busy all morning.

It was almost time for lunch when he remembered that Han Xixi said that an official announcement would be made this morning, so he quickly clicked on Weibo to check.

On Weibo’s hot search list, the topic “Han Xixi officially announced that she had obtained her marriage certificate” has already topped the list.

Scrolling down to the comment section, netizens’ messages are varied and everyone is enjoying the fun.

"No, sister, are you serious?"

"Getting married at the age of 22, the first in the entertainment industry!!"

"You don't have to do this just to whitewash yourself, is the entertainment industry so tempting?"

"Will this sponsor agree to this?!"

"This girl is so cool and sassy, ​​she's definitely my type!"

"It's fake at first glance. If you have the guts, reveal all the man's information!"

“Wow wow wow… Who understands this photo!!”

"If you have the guts to make an official announcement, then show your true face. Are you looking down on others?!"

"I always feel like there's something fishy about this. I'm not sure. Let's wait and see!"

"..."

Overall, the reviews are mixed, with both good and bad.

But compared to the overwhelming online abuse when the "keeping sugar daddy" scandal broke out before the festival, it is already very difficult to reverse the situation.

This marriage certificate has achieved the expected effect.

Lin Xiao flipped through it casually and felt relieved after making sure that his information had not been leaked.

I had a meal, took a nap at noon, and then was busy again in the afternoon.

When it was almost time to get off work, Lin Xiao received another call from Liu Liyun's office, asking him to come up.

He guessed that his mother-in-law must have invited him to dinner at her house again, and he was already thinking about how to refuse - it was not that he didn't want to go, but he didn't change his clothes yesterday and he smelled bad today.

Go upstairs and knock on the door.

"Enter!"

"Director, you're looking for me!" Lin Xiao walked in with a calm smile.

"Yes, close the door!"

"Ok!"

When Lin Xiao turned around and closed the door, he remembered that he and Director Liu now had two identities, one above ground and one underground.

Now, there is still no real feeling about his relationship with Han Xixi, but he is enjoying acting out the scenes with his mother-in-law, being serious in public but friendly behind the scenes, as if he were in a melodramatic ethical drama.

"Director, do you have something to do with me?"

"Yes, you don't have any plans for tonight, right?" Liu Liyun asked with a kind smile.

"Uh... Director!"

Lin Xiao was sure that he had guessed correctly, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "I don't have any plans, but I still smell like alcohol, so I want to go home, take a good shower, and change clothes!"

Lin Xiao said it very tactfully.

Liu Liyun nodded and said with a smile, "It's time to clean up! Then, go home and change your clothes, and then go to Ronghua Hotel on Miyun Road at 7 o'clock. I'll have Xixi send you the room number later!"

Lin Xiao looked surprised.

"Ronghua Hotel? What are you going there for?"

"Huh? Hi!"

Liu Liyun then remembered that she hadn't finished her words, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Meet Xixi's grandparents, uncles and aunts! Xixi officially announced her marriage on Weibo today, and all the relatives knew about it, and they called one by one to ask about it. Your father and I thought we could slowly plan the wedding, but it's time to introduce you to the family!"

Lin Xiao was confused.

Liu Liyun was still laughing and said, "Ordinarily, we should have arranged for you to meet your family before you and Xixi got your marriage certificate, but you got your marriage certificate so suddenly that we could only make up for it later, so we decided to schedule it today...any later would be impolite!"

Lin Xiao understood, but was still surprised.

In fact, he has not completely recovered from yesterday's drunkenness. He has done another day of inexplicable work during the day. He is very tired now and just wants to go home to eat takeout, then lie down and play with his mobile phone for a few hours, until he can't open his eyelids and the phone hits his face, then he charges it and goes to sleep.

However, according to Liu Liyun, the dinner had clearly already been arranged, and now they just needed to notify him.

He had no right to refuse. Lin Xiao was very unhappy, but he could only agree: "Okay, I will be there on time."

Walking out of Liu Liyun's office, he sighed deeply.

I can't help but sigh: Money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat. It's really not easy to put these 20 yuan into my pocket!
……

I took the subway home, took a shower, and changed into something more refreshing.

It's already six o'clock.

Lin Xiao went downstairs and bought some things at the tobacco and alcohol supermarket outside the community, preparing to take a taxi.

At this time, I received a voice call from Han Xixi.

"Hey!"

"Hello...where are you?" Han Xixi asked.

"I'm at the gate of the community, about to go to the restaurant. What's wrong?"

"Oh...my mom asked me to pick you up, I'm here..."

There was a subtle hint of apology in Han Xixi's tone. Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao had already seen the red Mercedes-Benz with its hazard lights flashing in a public parking space on the side of the road.

"I see you!"

After hanging up the phone, he carried his things to the driver's seat and said, "Open the trunk, I'll put my things in there!"

Han Xixi agreed blankly and opened the trunk.

However, just as Lin Xiao was about to put the things in, he saw seven or eight high-end gift boxes neatly stacked on the back seat, with all kinds of cigarettes, alcohol and tea.

Compared with these things, what Lin Xiao prepared was obviously a level lower.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Han Xixi just remembered her mother's instructions, and hurriedly got out of the car, apologetically saying, "My mother told me to tell you that you don't need to prepare anything, but I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to tell you... How much do you want these things for? I'll give them to you!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows: "2230, just give 2200!"

Han Xixi frowned subconsciously and thought: You really want it!

Lin Xiao looked at her and smiled harmlessly: What else?
"My phone is in the car, get in first..."

"it is good!"

The two of them sat down, and Han Xixi readily transferred the money, not 2200, but 2230.

Lin Xiao accepted it on the spot.

Then there was no conversation along the way, and the atmosphere in the car was a little weird.

Ronghua Hotel is located in the core area of ​​Ninghai, and the traffic was heavily congested at around six o'clock.

The sky gradually darkened and the road was filled with fire dragons.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car was really weird, Lin Xiao took the initiative to ask: "I saw the Weibo you posted. Is the matter resolved now?"

Han Xixi frowned slightly: "That's about right... The agent said that's it. If we promote it too much, it will seem deliberate!"

Lin Xiao nodded: "What are your plans for the next step?"

Han Xixi said, "I should slowly resume work... I had several performances during the National Day holiday, but they were all cancelled because of the hot search. Now, I'm waiting for the hot search about getting the marriage certificate to ferment a little more. The company should arrange for me to participate in the offline performances on Tomato TV!"

"Tomato Channel?" Lin Xiao frowned.

"The Voice of China is a program of Tomato TV. I signed a contract with the TV station before participating in the competition. It stipulated that after I won a place, I had to participate in offline performances planned by the TV station for a period of one year! As soon as my hot search came out before the holiday, Tomato TV wanted to claim one million yuan from me. It was only after the company stepped in to coordinate that the problem was resolved..."

Han Xixi said this, her soft tone full of helplessness.

I guess she didn't expect that the water in the entertainment industry is so deep. She felt like she was going to drown before she even wade in.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing this.

Only then did he understand that Han Xixi, who was obviously introverted and simple-minded, could do such a ridiculous thing as asking for marriage the first time they met. It seemed that she not only wanted to continue her career as a singer, but was also overwhelmed by the penalty for breach of contract!
She didn't have to go through this.

From a glamorous new star in the music industry to a mocked "gold digger", the stark difference in image was caused by a photo taken by Lin Xiao casually.

After learning all this, Lin Xiao looked at the "Received" transfer notification on the WeChat interface and his face turned awkward.

Uh……

They are taking advantage of the situation!
As for me, I am the one who robbed and set the fire. Isn’t this a new-age bully?!
