Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 164 163. Galaxy Shining (Happy New Year)
At dinner time in the evening, my second uncle Deng Juan and his family of three also came.

The table was so big that it could barely accommodate everyone.

At the dinner table, Deng Juan observed her father-in-law's expression and finally couldn't help but speak: "Well, Xiaolin, last time you suggested that our Bowen go into business, does that still count?"

This question made everyone look over.

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed.

My second aunt asked this question very skillfully. The word "count on it" made it seem as if he had promised something.

But he was clearly just making a suggestion at the time, and it was up to them whether to adopt it or not.

Now it seemed as if he had taken charge of the matter.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Aunt, I just think that Bowen has a calm personality and with the support of my uncle and aunt, it might be feasible for him to start a small business. Whether to do it or not still needs to be discussed by your family. If you agree to do it, Xixi and I can get some money. We are all family!"

This answer made everyone at the table look excited.

Everyone received a satisfactory response.

Deng Juan smiled and said, "Xiao Lin is worthy of being the deputy mayor. He has a bright mind, unlike us who have blocked brains and never thought of coming to this..."

It was rare to hear the second aunt praising someone, so Lin Xiao and Xixi exchanged glances and both smiled without saying anything.

"Then what kind of business do you think is good?" Deng Juan asked again.

"This one……"

Lin Xiao looked embarrassed.

Liu Liyun was a little unhappy and came out to smooth things over: "Juan, this is something that you and your family have to figure out. You should do what you can and what is appropriate. This is your own son, you know him best, how can others say for sure!"

Deng Juan was choking a little, and smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I am short-sighted and not as smart as you cadres, so I thought of asking you..."

Liu Lisong also hurriedly said: "Eat, eat, and we'll talk after dinner!"

Deng Juan closed her mouth unwillingly.

At this time, Han Xixi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Well...how about opening a coffee shop?"

This one sentence attracted everyone's attention.

"Coffee shop?" Deng Juan's eyes lit up.

Others were also curious.

The middle-aged and elderly people in this room basically don't drink this stuff, but living in the city, seeing coffee shops opening one after another in the surrounding area in the past few years, everyone gradually realized that this bitter and unappetizing thing does have some people who like it and it does make money.

Seeing everyone's expectation, Han Xixi continued, "Well... I joined a Kudi Coffee store, which is located in Chaobai Town where Lin Xiao works. The store is currently being renovated, and the brand is solely responsible for it. The next step is to select a store manager and staff, and train them, and then we can open the store. If you are interested, you can go and try..."

After a few words were spoken, everyone looked at them in different ways.

Liu Liyun had never expected that her daughter would actually open a franchise store and was shocked.

But in front of outsiders, she didn't question Xixi loudly, so she didn't say anything the whole time.

Second aunt Deng Juan spoke up, with a look of disdain on her face: "How can a coffee shop in a rural town have business? Besides, this shop is yours, Xixi. If Bowen goes there, he will be working for you. This is not like opening a shop of your own..."

This attitude made Liu Liyun lose face immediately.

"Juan, what are you saying!"

Liu Liyun said coldly, "You can't just do business as you say, don't you have to do it step by step? It's hard to say whether Bowen is the right material. If you don't give him some experience, and you just throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at him to open a store, what if he fails? Who has the money to pay for it, your family or ours?

"Now we have paved the way and built the bridge for you. Bowen will be the store manager when he goes there, and he can learn both skills and management. When he has experience, his family will give him money to open a store in Ninghai. Wouldn't he be a successful small boss? Why not?
"Oh, you get upset when you hear about the rural areas. You can't bear to let your children suffer any hardship, and you just want to get rich overnight. Money is so easy to make, you just sit at home and wait. You have to get up early for the pie to fall from the sky..."

Deng Juan's face became darker and darker after hearing these words. Normally, she would have been furious.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she knew that other people had spent real money to create opportunities for her son, so she could only endure it for now.

But the old man Liu Zhongshan, who had been silent the whole time, tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and said solemnly, "Eat!"

These two words calmed the atmosphere at the dinner table and everyone fell silent.

……

night.

First, they sent their mother-in-law back to Jili Garden, and then the couple returned to Tianlan Garden.

Take a walk downstairs.

Let’s talk about what happened at the dinner table that night.

Lin Xiao asked: "Xixi, do you think your cousin will agree to go to Chaobai Town to be the store manager?"

Han Xixi was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"No? Why?"

"I don't know what my brother is thinking, but my aunt will definitely not let me!"

Han Xixi sighed.

Lin Xiao was puzzled: "Because it's in a rural town? Not really, Chaobai Town is not far from Ninghai! Besides, mom is right, go there to learn some experience first, and then come back to open a store, isn't that good? Your second aunt can't be so old-fashioned, right?"

Han Xixi shook his head, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Brother, there is something you don't know. In fact, Brother Bowen... is not an only child!"

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao frowned.

"He is a twin. He originally had a younger brother."

"Uh... Liu Bowu?"

"How do you know?" Han Xixi was surprised.

Lin Xiao was helpless: It's hard not to know, right? Bowen and Bowu, the parents gave them these names, and they also had high hopes for their children!
Han Xixi said with a sad face: "Brother Bowu passed away when he was eight years old. My impression of him is very vague."

Lin Xiao nodded.

Although he didn't know the reason yet, just this sentence made him understand his second aunt's petty-bourgeois face a little more.

Han Xixi said, "I was still young at that time, so I don't remember it clearly. I only know that my uncle bought a new car and took my two brothers out to play. As a result, an accident happened on the road, and Brother Bowu died before he could be sent to the hospital...Since then, Brother Bowen has become a different person. He used to be very cheerful, but later he became more and more introverted!"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

This is sad to hear about, let alone those who have experienced it personally.

Lin Xiao has a deep understanding of this.

The original person died at the age of 17 while jumping into the water to save someone.

If I had not traveled through time, what my parents would have experienced back then would not have been a false alarm, but the same pain as Liu Lisong and Deng Juan.

It’s sad to think about how old people are when they die young.

"So, from then on, Second Aunt looked at Liu Bowen like a treasure and refused to let him leave Ninghai?"

"Ok!"

Lin Xiao nodded, which was understandable.

This topic was too heavy, so neither of them went any further.

We walked hand in hand for a long time.

Lin Xiao then asked: "The Kudi chain stores are all decorated in a standard style and will be completed soon. They are about to open. If Liu Bowen is not able to do it, do you have any other candidates to be the store manager?"

Han Xixi frowned and suddenly asked, "Is your cousin Zhou Zhenpeng okay?"

This choice surprised Lin Xiao.

"How do you know I have a cousin named Zhou Zhenpeng?"

"what!"

Han Xixi looked sly. "I stayed at your house for a week and chatted with your mother every day. I know more about your family composition and what goes on in each household than you do. Did you know that your aunt had four abortions in order to have a son?"

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded: "There is such a thing?"

Han Xixi smiled and said, "Look, you don't know, I know everything!"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

But when I think about it, my mother has always been a big mouth. There are many sweet things that she can't say to her son, but now she tells her daughter-in-law, which is reasonable.

Back to the topic.

Lin Xiao hesitated: "Zhou Zhenpeng graduated from high school and has worked hard outside for so many years, so he should have no problem dealing with people. But he is my relative, and he opened a store in Chaobai Town...wouldn't it have a bad impact?"

"You are a bit self-righteous!" Xixi said speechlessly.

"Where are you self-righteous?"

"Chaobai Town is your workplace, but it's also cousin Zhenpeng's home." Xixi said seriously, "You've only been in Chaobai Town for half a year, and your cousin has lived in the town for more than 30 years. Just because you're here, he can't do business in the town?"

Lin Xiao was embarrassed: "Uh... this is also..."

Han Xixi didn't give him a chance to speak and continued to present his arguments: "Also, this store is mine, and my cousin and his wife are my employees. To put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't rush to say whether it affects you or not, okay?"

Lin Xiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How come this girl is becoming more and more talkative now? Wasn't she quite shy and introverted when we first met?

He stopped and pinched her little chubby face.

"Ha, this shop has nothing to do with me now? Have you forgotten why you opened this coffee shop in town in the first place?"

"…One thing at a time!"

Han Xixi looked proud and stubborn. "It's true that I opened the store for you, but it's not for you. The store is still mine. I asked my mother-in-law's relatives to come and run it. Is there a problem?"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

He pinched her little cheek and kissed her hard.

"Well!"

Xixi's way out was blocked, and she couldn't stick her neck out to argue anymore.

When Lin Xiao let her go, her little face was already red, looking even more brilliant under the night light.

"Xixi..."

Lin Xiao let her go, his eyes sincere and his smile gentle.

Han Xixi felt a little hot under his gaze. She pursed her lips and responded from the bottom of her throat: "Hmm..."

Lin Xiao smiled and smoothed her long hair that was blown by the spring breeze.

"I really... like you more and more!"

"..."

The sudden confession caught Han Xixi off guard.

Then there was another stealth kiss on the cheek.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just saying it, I will still make a serious confession to you as promised!"

Han Xixi didn't say anything.

I originally wanted to say that what I just said was enough. All she wanted was sincerity and she didn't care about the form.

But...

Since Lin Xiao said there will be a formal and grand confession, why not wait?
After all, she is still a 23-year-old young girl, in love for the first time, and has the purest fantasy about love.

If I think about it this way, my mood becomes bright.

"The city sky is too bright, there are no stars!" she suddenly looked up.

“Yeah, that’s why I don’t like cities!”

"……Me too!"

Xixi bit her lip and said shyly.

The two continued walking, chatting idly.

It took Lin Xiao a long time to realize: When Xixi said "Me too", which sentence was she answering? "I don't like cities" or "I like you more and more"?
……

The next day was Friday.

The two went to Jili Garden for breakfast and then drove back to the countryside.

The latest episode of "Qilin Drama is Good" was launched at noon today. Han Xixi had to bury himself in the sand before a new wave of online curses came, so as not to be affected.

When she got home at noon, Zhou Xiuping had prepared another sumptuous meal and she couldn't stop smiling when she looked at her daughter-in-law.

Lin Xiao didn't get a single glance from his mother during the entire process.

Sitting at the dining table, I just wanted to sneer: Love will disappear after all!
Stroll through the fields in the afternoon and gaze at the stars at night.

While going to the toilet, Lin Xiao checked his phone and found, as expected, that Han Xixi was on the hot search list.

At noon, the latest episode of "Qilin Dramas Are Good" was officially launched on Qilin Video.

Eight hours have now passed.

On Weibo hot searches, the topic of "Han Xixi and Yu Anan" ranked first on the hot search list.

Just looking at the topic name, it is hard to guess what happened between the two.

But when considering the recent scandals of these two popular actresses, netizens still clicked on it out of curiosity.

Then it got out of hand.

Some of Yu Anan’s fans took out the clips of Yu Anan being bullied by Han Xixi on the show.

Including Han Xixi, who was dressed exquisitely and stole the limelight from the heroine Yu Anan.

Including her Yin Yang Yu Anan playing the victim.

Including the fact that she was ruthless when playing games and made Yu Anan soaked.

The comment section exploded.

"This woman is a ruthless person!"

"I haven't seen such a standard vicious female supporting role in a long time, so cool!"

"I think Han Xixi is right. Being an actor means you have to go through all that. If you get a skin broken, you're considered dedicated. Then what does the blood, tears, and sweat of ordinary workers like us mean?"

"The ambition on Han Xixi's face is unmistakable!"

"It's just a game, you can't be so ruthless. I don't believe you don't have any personal grudges!"

"To be so cruel, you must be either stupid or evil!"

"This woman has such a sarcastic look on her face, I don't know how she got so popular!"

"He has a background. Have you forgotten about the time he hugged a rich man and went shopping in a luxury store?"

"Her husband has green grassland on his head, how pitiful!"

"Han Xixi get out of the entertainment industry!!!"

"..."

Lin Xiao frowned and turned over for a long time, his chest heaving.

In general, red and black are open at 19.

One in ten netizens think that there is nothing wrong with what Han Xixi said and did on the show, that his values ​​are correct and that he should be serious when playing games.

But 90% of netizens think that she, as a theme song singer, deliberately stole the limelight from the female lead on the show, acted sarcastic, and took personal revenge by drenching Yu Anan like a drowned rat. She is simply a petty person who never forgets to take revenge.

The two groups were arguing fiercely, and the dispute caused the topic to become popular.

And this enthusiasm was soon transmitted to the TV series "Night Wind Bloom".

The drama has been on the air for a week but has received mediocre popularity, with the playback index failing to break through the "hot line" of 2800.

But after this battle.

Countless netizens spontaneously became Yu Anan's passers-by fans and rushed into the drama to support her. In just eight hours, the popularity of the drama exceeded 3000, reaching the "explosive line" level.

Such a surge in popularity is enough to prove that the crew made the right move.

It also proves that Han Xixi has great potential in creating topics and attracting traffic, and is an absolute traffic king.

Lin Xiao looked at the popularity on the Internet and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

I returned to the rooftop, sat down next to Xixi, and continued to look up at the starry sky.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked when he saw that she looked serious.

"Well, isn't it said that when people die they turn into stars?"

Xixi looked sad and said in a low voice, "I was wondering which one Brother Bowu would be..."

Lin Xiao said nothing and looked up at the starry sky with her.

The Milky Way shines, and the sky is filled with the shadow of longing...
