After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 157 Xu Lin's First Apprentice to Take Off, Buying a Car, and His Daily Life with Ning Yuhan

After spending some time with Ning Yuhan, Xu Lin went to his class's meeting room.

Around 7:30, almost everyone had arrived.

Seeing Xu Lin sit down next to her, Rong Xiyan couldn't help but say, "The missing person has returned!"

"What missing person?"

"Haven't seen you for two days, doesn't that mean you've disappeared?"

Rong Xiyan was also melancholy, even more so than Ning Yuhan.

I'll spend time with you the day after tomorrow when I'm free!

"Can't it be tomorrow? Why the day after tomorrow?"

Rong Xiyan was displeased upon hearing this.

"Since you don't have class on Tuesday afternoon, you'll have an extra afternoon. Do you want tomorrow evening or the afternoon and evening of the day after tomorrow?"

"I want it the day after tomorrow!"

"Isn't that okay?"

"Xu Lin, I'm a little bored," Rong Xiyan said.

"Isn't Xia Xiyao with you?"

“She’s not always free either. Sometimes she has to go to dance practice, and without you by her side, I always feel like something’s missing.”

Rong Xiyan leaned against Xu Lin's left arm, rested her head on Xu Lin's shoulder, and played with her phone.

Just then, Rong Xiyan saw a grinning face.

"Zhao Liangchen, your smile is so lewd!"

Rong Xiyan sat up straight.

Zhao Liangchen smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. "Rong Xiyan, I posted it on Douyin. You can take a look if you're interested. I've put the link in the class group."

Zhao Liangchen is now going around promoting himself to each class one by one.

If we're talking about who has the thickest skin in the class, it's definitely Zhao Liangchen.

"Why are you posting those rap videos on Douyin again?"

Rong Xiyan genuinely couldn't appreciate Zhao Liangchen's rapping. She and Zhao Liangchen were high school classmates. She had known about Zhao Liangchen for only a few days after entering high school. Besides, Zhao Liangchen kept promoting himself, and by the end of high school, everyone knew about him.

"I recently became an apprentice of Mr. Xu online. Rong Xiyan, do you know Mr. Xu?"

Zhao Liangchen laughed and said, "Look, this is the release of my first real song!"

Rong Xiyan patted Xu Lin on the shoulder, "Zhao Liangchen, this is my Mr. Xu!"

"Hehe, but Mr. Xu's voice sounds so much like mine!"

Zhao Liangchen then looked at Xu Lin: "Brother, have you seen my Douyin video?"

"I'll look at it when I get back later."

"okay!"

After Zhao Liangchen finished speaking, he started promoting himself to other classmates.

In addition to his own class, Zhao Liangchen also promoted his services in the grade-level group. There was not only a freshman group but also a sophomore group. Zhao Liangchen had previously joined the sophomore group through a senior student teaching assistant and often engaged in lively discussions with the sophomores.

I guess Zhao Liangchen is the person I know the most people at school.

Moreover, basically, about half of the freshmen and sophomores know that there is a rap group at the university, even if they have never seen it or heard of it.

Moreover, rap naturally carries the characteristic of having blond hair, and Zhao Liangchen is a rapper from a top university, so he has quite a few female fans.

Otherwise, why would Liu Longsheng be unhappy with Zhao Liangchen? He had finally found a girl he liked, but she was interested in Zhao Liangchen. If Zhao Liangchen were handsome, he would have accepted it, but Zhao Liangchen wasn't handsome and wasn't even as tall as him.

During this class meeting, Zhao Liangchen was promoting himself.

The class meeting ended quickly. Xu Lin and Rong Xiyan ate rice noodles in the cafeteria before returning to their respective dormitories.

Xu Lin returned to his dormitory and turned on his computer.

He planned to check out Zhao Liangchen's Douyin account.

On the computer version of Douyin, search for GD Zhao Liangchen.

What does GD mean?
Xu Lin didn't know what the abbreviation was either; Zhao Liangchen only said that he used to imitate the name G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong).

Click search, and Zhao Liangchen's account number will appear quickly.

GD Zhao Liangchen (mentor Mr. Xu)?

Although Xu Lin disliked being flattered, he was in a good mood now that Zhao Liangchen had put his name on the poster.

Zhao Liangchen's profile picture is himself.

Zhao Liangchen is good at taking photos. He doesn't show his whole face, perfectly avoiding his facial flaws. He also edits his photos, so his selfies are very handsome and cool.

Xu Lin clicked on it and found that Zhao Liangchen's account had already posted more than 300 videos.

The latest post is a rap video he filmed on the campus of the University of Finance and Economics, which Zhao Liangchen has also pinned to the top.

Cover: "A Dog in Human Clothing".

The number of likes can be seen in the bottom right corner of the cover. Xu Lin didn't know when Zhao Liangchen posted the video today, but the video has already received more than 300,000 likes. When he clicked in, he found that Zhao Liangchen posted the video at 7:00 p.m., and it was only 8:30 p.m., just an hour and a half ago. The number of likes is now 330,000, and the number of comments is already more than 30,000. The other data is naturally not going to be too bad.

At the same time, as soon as I opened the video, the cover showed the song title.

The basic information also includes "Singer: GD Zhao Liangchen", "Lyricist: Mr. Xu" and "Composer: Mr. Xu".

"Xu Lin, are you listening to Lao Zhao's new song too?"

Xie Zhengrong came over.

Xu Lin nodded.

"Old Zhao is about to take off. He spent 100,000 yuan to have Mr. Xu compose a song, and the video has only been released for an hour and a half, but it already has more than 300,000 likes. And look at his followers, he had 130,000 this afternoon, but now he's almost breaking 400,000!"

Xu Lin took a look and sure enough, there were 380,000 followers. Xu Lin hadn't paid attention to how many followers he had before.

Hu Donghai also came over: "I also feel that A Liang is about to take off. This song is so exciting, the lyrics are particularly sharp, and that Mr. Xu is really extraordinary."

Xie Zhengrong continued, "Moreover, this rap is completely different from other raps. Other raps don't use any fluffy language, and even normal lyrics are rare. But this one, you can only say that the author's writing skills are too strong!"

"I think it's pretty good."

Xu Lin nodded.

"Liu Longsheng, what do you think?"

Hu Donghai looked at Liu Longsheng.

Liu Longsheng stated directly, "I'm not interested in rap."

Oh shit!

This Mr. Xu is Xu Lin, you just don't know it!

But that's nothing compared to the fact that Zhao Liangchen seems to be taking off, and Liu Longsheng is starting to lose his composure.

What is Zhao Liangchen doing now?
This guy is chatting in the grade group.

In fact, Zhao Liangchen not only bragged in the freshman group, but also in the sophomore group.

The two groups together have more than four thousand people.

At this moment, the freshman group chat was very lively.

"Damn, man, you're going to be famous!"

"Awesome! I knew you'd pull this off! Dude, Thai pants hot!"

"This rap is so awesome! Is this Mr. Xu's talent? It got my blood pumping and made me want to go and crush the Western imperialist powers!"

"Mr. Xu can actually write rap?"

Zhao Liangchen then spoke up, saying, "This was written for me by Mr. Xu. At the time, I just wanted a regular rap song and didn't think much about it. I never expected my master to give me such a big surprise. By the way, Mr. Xu is now our master. Besides me, there are nine other people!"

"Zhao Liangchen, is 100,000 yuan a song worth it?"

"I think it's too expensive, 100,000 for a single song."

"Didn't you see what Zhao Liangchen said? He's now become an apprentice of a big shot, paying 100,000 yuan to follow him. If it were me, I would follow him too. Having a big shot to guide you can save you ten years of detours!"

"Zhao Liangchen gained over 200,000 followers in just over an hour, which is definitely worthwhile. Maybe in a few days, Zhao Liangchen will have a million followers. Moreover, I've heard that some bloggers monetize their followers; 200,000 followers can bring in 20,000 yuan a month! I can't even imagine having a million followers!"

People were talking about it. Everyone was a student at a prestigious university like the University of Finance and Economics. Many of them had a lot of ideas during their university years. They started thinking about their future as early as their freshman year, such as what industry they wanted to work in or start a business. Becoming an internet celebrity is one such path, but it's not something anyone can do. This industry, which seems to have no barriers to entry, actually has its own set of barriers.

For example, their university has two internet celebrities with a lot of fans. One of them is a senior student who takes the route of being a top student and a beautiful girl. She creates knowledge-themed content, and she was able to drive a Cayenne by herself in her freshman year.

In the internet age, traffic equals wealth.

Zhao Liangchen added, "Whether I have fans or not, whether I'm popular or not, these are secondary. The important thing is that I can work with Mr. Xu now. You don't know how responsible Mr. Xu is. He taught all ten of us through voice calls, step by step!"

Zhao Liangchen spoke about Xu Lin's teaching situation these past few days.

"Mr. Xu, this is too kind of you!"

"I'm so envious. I wish I could sing. My family isn't short of money."

"Me too. My dad earns over a million a year, but I can't sing. I envy those who can sing so much."

"Zhao Liangchen, is Mr. Xu going to start a new round of recruitment at the end of December or the beginning of January? I'd like to try my luck too."

Zhao Liangchen then answered everyone's questions.

And so, it came to 9:30 p.m., an hour after 8:30 p.m.

Whether it was the effect of word of mouth or not, an hour later, Zhao Liangchen's video had received 500,000 likes, and his fan value had reached 530,000, gaining over 100,000 fans in just one hour.

Zhao Liangchen never dared to imagine it. After all, he had posted hundreds of rap videos during his three years of high school, but as of this afternoon, he only had a few hundred thousand followers, many of whom were fake followers. Usually, a video he posted would only get a few thousand likes in 24 hours. Now, a video had more than 500,000 likes in just over two hours. He never thought that the comments section was full of praise.

"Master, that's awesome! I feel like I'm about to take off!"

Zhao Liangchen was so excited that he couldn't contain himself and immediately sent a message to Xu Lin.

In fact, he had already sent Xu Lin more than twenty messages tonight, all of which were reports on the battle results.

"Okay, I see."

Xu Lin replied to him.

Zhao Liangchen: "Thank you, Master! (Tears streaming down my face)"

Zhao Liangchen: "I can't believe I'm here today! I'm so excited I could cry!"

Xu Lin: "Can you calm down a bit?"

Zhao Liangchen: "Hehe."

Xu Lin: "It looks like it's working well. Let me give it a push."

Zhao Liangchen: "What do you mean by 'push'?"

"Wait for my Little Red Book post."

Xu Lin replied and then switched to Xiaohongshu.

He posted a new thread: "My apprentice's new song, with lyrics and music by myself, in the style of 'A Dog in Human Clothing,' already released on Douyin, link..."

"I'm coming!"

"Mr. Xu's apprentice? Let me see!"

"A hypocrite, what a strange name. Is it an idiom? What does it mean?"

"It means something similar to 'a beast in human clothing.' 'Zhi' means pig, dog-pig, pig-dog, understand? It's an insult."

As soon as Xu Lin posted on Xiaohongshu, many of his fans saw it immediately. Out of curiosity, they clicked on the link and were redirected to Zhao Liangchen's new video.

The video started at this point.

"Holy crap, isn't this my alma mater?"

"What school is this? It's so beautiful!"

"This is Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, one of the most beautiful campuses in the country, the university I dreamed of attending back then!"

"Holy crap, this guy doesn't even have a college diploma? That's a bit overclocked for rap, isn't it?"

"These lyrics are as awesome as ever, no wonder it's Mr. Xu, and they're even criticizing Europe and America, I'm giving them a triple like!"

"Haha, this is the first time I've heard rap with such powerful lyrics! Isn't this much better than those trashy raps in China?"

"Last time there was some idiot who wrote a song mocking migrant workers, it disgusted me. This is positive energy rap! I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know!"

"The song title 'Clothed Dogs and Pigs' literally means that this person is ill-mannered and of low quality. But when combined with the lyrics, it's a deeper meaning that it's cursing a bunch of beasts and animals in Europe and America. Haha, Mr. Xu's work is just to my liking!"

"Anything produced by Mr. Xu is guaranteed to be of the highest quality!"

"Front row! Let me summarize this rap song. First of all, it was written and composed by Mr. Xu. The lyrics are sharp and witty, and the insults are delivered without using any vulgar language. It made this liberal arts student feel very excited!"
Damn it, these Western countries are sucking the blood of the whole world. Do you think their high-welfare societies came about? They rely on global profit sharing to set rules and constantly bleed the developing countries of the Third World to maintain their high-welfare societies! And what have these superpowers done in our modern history? I believe anyone who has gone to high school knows! Every Western power has the blood of Chinese people on their hands, and of course, that includes those bastards! Mr. Xu's lyrics are so sharp; they made this grown man's blood boil, making me want to travel back to the war years and wreak havoc!

Secondly, the arrangement, once again, is a masterpiece by Mr. Xu. The music is incredibly catchy and truly deserves its classic status. Even without his own vocals, Mr. Xu's work remains amazing! It's so awesome!
Third, this rap song shattered my stereotypes about rap. Yes, my stereotype was that rap was trash, a crooked path, and that rappers were a bunch of scumbags. But now, Mr. Xu has shown me that rap lyrics can be so sharp and sophisticated! Finally, the song's shortcomings are also obvious; the singer is too inexperienced and needs more practice, but I'm willing to give it my support as a fan!

"Brother's analysis makes perfect sense!"

"Awesome!"

This long comment quickly became the most upvoted comment in the comment section, and Zhao Liangchen also pinned it to the top after seeing it.

11 p.m. arrived quickly.

"Master, I've surpassed 900,000 followers! I feel like I'll break a million tomorrow! Wow, I can't handle this! I'm so excited!"

Zhao Liangchen continued to message Xu Lin. Xu Lin had just been promoting him on Xiaohongshu, which made him gain followers even faster. He now had 900,000 followers, and he would definitely have a million followers by tomorrow morning, or even sooner, by noon.

Xu Lin glanced at his message but didn't reply. Instead, he started chatting with Xie Ting.

Tonight, Nicholas Tse also released two songs, the same two he released before: "Snow Beyond the Clouds" and "Spring in the Snow".

Xu Lin also promoted it to him at ten o'clock.

In today's era of short video traffic, the way things are done on the internet has changed. The idea that "good wine needs no bush" is nonsense.

With Xu Lin promoting the songs on Xiaohongshu, Xie Ting's two cover songs have also started to climb the charts.

Xie Ting is talented and skilled; he's a prodigy, and Xu Lin has high hopes for him.

Zhao Liangchen is the most outstanding when it comes to covering Xu Lin's songs.

There are quite a few people who have covered Xu Lin's songs.

Xu Lin also specifically noted in his Xiaohongshu post promoting Xie Ting today that he doesn't mind if Xie Ting covers his songs freely.

The songs "Snow Beyond the Clouds" and "Spring in the Snow" have now been exclusively licensed to Tse Ting, meaning only Tse Ting has the right to use them commercially.

Following Xu Lin's promotional efforts, Xie Ting's two cover songs quickly appeared on various music charts.

"Master, many people say I sing very well, is that true? I don't really know my own abilities."

Xie Ting was also somewhat excited, but not as excited as Zhao Liangchen.

"You really sing well. In this episode, out of the ten of you, you are the most talented, and your voice is also outstanding."

"But Zhao Liangchen's results seem to be better. I feel he is better than me."

"His good performance is due to the song, but his personal ability hasn't caught up yet. In terms of personal ability, he's worse than you, and you don't have any original works yet."

"Master, I want you to write songs for me too!"

"It'll be the end of the month, I don't feel like writing songs lately."

"okay!"

After chatting with Xie Ting, Xu Lin went to take a shower.

Then, around 11:40 p.m.

Boom boom boom!
Someone knocked on the door.

"Brother Hai, I'm here! Open the door!"

Upon hearing Zhao Liangchen's voice, Hu Donghai opened the door for him.

When Xie Zhengrong saw Zhao Liangchen come in, he immediately said, "Wow, Zhao, you've got a million followers!"

Hu Donghai: "A Liang is going to make a name for himself! Awesome!"

Zhao Liangchen coughed lightly, his face unable to hide his excitement, "I was just about to say this! I really can't believe it, I never thought I'd have over a million followers one day!"

Hu Donghai: "So you're saying that spending 100,000 yuan was worth it! At first I thought you were impulsive, but I didn't expect you to have a million fans overnight."

"Thanks to my mentor's promotion, one of his posts gave me hundreds of thousands of followers, and they're still growing rapidly!"

Zhao Liangchen was extremely excited.

Liu Longsheng was already lying in bed when Zhao Liangchen reached out and patted the edge of his bed. "Brother Long, tell me the details, I already have a million followers!"

Liu Longsheng had actually been paying attention to Zhao Liangchen all along, and he was following Xu Lin on Xiaohongshu. When Xu Lin posted on Xiaohongshu tonight, Liu Longsheng paid even closer attention to Zhao Liangchen. He didn't expect that Zhao Liangchen would have a million followers in such a short time!
What if it's tomorrow? Or even a few days later?

Does he need to start with two or three million followers?
Watching the people around him who he disliked take off, Liu Longsheng couldn't describe the feeling.

He accepted Xu Lin's takeoff, because Xu Lin was truly amazing, but Liu Longsheng felt very uncomfortable when Zhao Liangchen took off.

He's been selling shoes all week, dealing with all sorts of disputes, which has really annoyed Liu Longsheng. Now that Zhao Liangchen has taken off, he's even more annoyed.

It feels like everyone else is making progress, but I'm stuck in the same place.

So Liu Longsheng simply said, "I'm going to sleep."

Zhao Liangchen chuckled, "Goodnight, Brother Long!"

Liu Longsheng remained silent.

Zhao Liangchen then ran over to Xu Lin's side, "Brother, I've got a million followers on Douyin!"

"You're about to reach the pinnacle of your life."

Xu Lin said, "Hehe, I feel pretty good."

Zhao Liangchen stayed in Xu Lin's dormitory for ten minutes before returning.

Before going to sleep, Xu Lin logged into his work account. He received many messages from Zhao Liangchen, all reporting his achievements and expressing various incredibly excited remarks.

Xu Lin glanced at it, said nothing else, and simply said, "This is just the beginning, stay calm."

Zhao Liangchen replied instantly: "Master, I want to become the top rapper in China and even the world!"

Xu Lin: "Keep a calm mind and don't do anything negative."

Being a public figure means being ruined if you have a stain on your record. You can't have anything negative. Moreover, in China, being a public figure means having social responsibility. In short, don't mess around.

"Okay, Master, I will be mindful of my words and actions!"

Xu Lin: "Right now, you have the highest level of academic background in the rap circle. If you enter the entertainment industry in the future, you will also be one of the students with the highest academic background."

"Master, really?"

How many students from prestigious universities can you name in the entertainment industry?

"Hmm, it seems there aren't many!"

Zhao Liangchen searched for celebrities from top universities in the entertainment industry and found very few.

Some celebrities in the entertainment industry boast about their high academic qualifications after attending a training course. In reality, there are very few public figures who actually graduated from 211 or 985 universities. And those who market themselves as academic geniuses are rarely genuine.

Some top universities have classes that you can get into by paying money; they're specifically for wealthy people to get a prestigious education or build connections.

How many celebrities actually come from good educational backgrounds? In fact, very few.

Xu Lin: "You're about to take off! Your future is limitless! Over 650 points on the college entrance exam, Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, who can beat you? With that score, you're in the top ten of the entertainment industry!"

Zhao Liangchen: "Master, I'm so excited! I never thought I was this good!"

Xu Lin: "For rappers, a junior college degree is already a high level of education, but you are from a top 30 key university in the country, a 985 among 211 universities. Who is as awesome as you?"

"Holy crap! Master, I can't take this anymore. Am I going to become the first person from a rap school to achieve this?"

"It's obvious that you are."

Xu Lin: "But keep a calm mind. As I just said, you are now a rap contestant from a top university. People naturally have a positive view of top universities, which means you will have a high level of popularity. So just don't do anything negative, or I will expel you from my school. Don't say you are my apprentice then."

Regarding moral management, Xu Lin specifically reminded Zhao Liangchen that after becoming a public figure, he would be surrounded by the temptations and allure of the outside world. If his virtue did not match his position, there would be lingering consequences, and even a towering building would collapse.

Judging from the current reaction, Xu Lin felt that Zhao Liangchen had the potential to enter the entertainment industry. Although he was certainly not as talented as Xie Ting, Zhao Liangchen and Xie Ting were not in the same field. Zhao Liangchen was a rapper, and he was quite good at rap. So Xu Lin wanted to give Zhao Liangchen a special reminder: Damn it, just make sure this kid doesn't get into trouble later.

Xu Lin felt that as he grew his subordinates, some of them were bound to get into trouble. It was a matter of probability; not everyone could be a good person. Besides, once the temptations of the world came along, few normal people could resist.

But he has to manage this area, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will affect his reputation. Besides, my works are all made with great care. If someone is morally corrupt and insults my work, that would be unacceptable.

This is why Xu Lin doesn't want to be a public figure. He doesn't want his private life to be discussed and gossiped about by outsiders. Society's moral expectations of public figures are above average, and their every move is watched by countless eyes.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll behave myself!"

"Alright, I'm going to sleep now."

Xu Lin didn't want to talk anymore.

Zhao Liangchen: "Goodnight, Master!"

Xu Lin didn't reply.

He then opened the chat interfaces of Shifang, Ashura, and others, as they hadn't processed their messages from the past two days.

It's worth mentioning that in the past few days, the average subscriptions for both Shifang and Ashura's novels have exceeded 100,000.

And now.

Ten directions, all orders are 112358.

Ashura, average order 118693.

The monk, number 176976.

Wu Chengfeng, all orders 248695.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings will be selected in the middle of December, and these four are definitely going to be chosen.

Xu Lin certainly agreed.

Among all the new books published this year that are not by top authors, Xu Lin and his group of five have completely dominated the platform.

Even the vast majority of top authors who are still publishing new books are not doing as well as Shifang.

Of the five of them, Shi Fang had the worst grades.

Furthermore, even with an average daily subscription of 100,000, the website only has about 20 titles currently.

Great God?

There are hundreds of experts on the website, but many of them have been out of the spotlight for a long time.

When it gets to early January, we'll also be awarding top-tier and platinum titles.

Of the four people, Wu Chengfeng and Xu Lin asked about Ranzhi. Wu Chengfeng is definitely a Platinum, Toutuo has a considerable chance of also becoming a Platinum, and Shifang and Ashura are Great Gods.

Where is Xu Lin?
Platinum is definitely in the works, but he doesn't care about that because he's going to make his mark in the entertainment industry, so he'll gradually fade out of the online literature world.

Xu Lin also spent some time replying to Shi Fang and the others' questions.

At exactly twelve o'clock, Xu Lin also went to sleep.

For the past week, Xu Lin has been going to bed at three or four in the morning every night, and on Saturday he even stayed up until six in the morning the next day. This time he went to bed the earliest.

Monday arrived quickly.

Today is November 30th, the last day of November.

Around 10 a.m., Xu Lin received the news that the copyright fee had been deposited into his account.

A total of forty million.

What is Xu Lin's current net worth?

He took a look.

【Wealth value: 56089685.25 yuan.】

Recently, Xu Lin has made a lot of money. His original savings were more than 9.2 million yuan, and now he has received 40 million yuan in copyright income. After that, there are 10 people including Zhao Liangchen, 9 of whom received a total of 900,000 yuan, while Xie Ting gave 6 million yuan to buy out the performance rights of two of Xu Lin's songs.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. By next year, the business will be more complex, and there will be more than one or two sources of income, so the money will naturally increase.

"It's time to buy a car!"

With over 50 million yuan in hand, Xu Lin thought it was time to buy a car.

In addition, Xu Lin also wants to buy a house. He plans to buy a large, unfurnished apartment, renovate it properly next year, and move in by the end of next year. This timeline is quite suitable.

Xu Lin didn't want to buy a fully furnished apartment; he wanted to find a skilled architect to design an building in his preferred style.

"No rush to buy a house, let's wait until January. Let's make more money first."

He doesn't have any employees to support right now, except for a portion he'll have to make up for next year; all the money is his own.

It's worth mentioning that after the 40 million yuan was deposited, the bank started calling to promote its financial products.

For someone with tens of millions in cash flow, he would be considered a major client of the bank.

Cash flow is not something like assets; it's real money.

Xu Lin hated financial sales pitches the most, so he went directly to the back office and temporarily closed the card.

He has another phone card that he can use.

After Monday's classes ended, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan went out together after school in the afternoon.

"What do you want to eat? My royalties arrived today, let's celebrate."

Xu Lin showed Ning Yuhan his bank card balance. This bank card didn't show all his assets, but it contained over 48 million yuan, which was quite visually striking. Although Ning Yuhan already knew that Xu Lin was good at making money, she still found it hard to remain calm after seeing the specific amount.

However, Ning Yuhan thought about it and decided to skip the big meal.

"Honey, let's go eat hot pot!"

"Just hot pot?"

Xu Lin sniffed Ning Yuhan's hair and said with a smile, "Eating hot pot doesn't cost much."

"Even hot pot and fancy meals aren't that delicious. They're expensive, and some dishes are gone after just a few bites."

"Okay, let's have hot pot then!"

Xu Lin searched for a seafood hot pot restaurant on Meituan. In this kind of hot pot restaurant, you can choose your own ingredients and eat dozens of kinds of seafood. Like other hot pot restaurants, beef, beef balls and various other ingredients are also available here. In short, you can choose whatever you want to eat. In addition, there are more than a dozen kinds of hot pot bases, and you can choose your own small hot pot.

For example, Xu Lin ordered two kinds of hot pot, one with butter and one with sour soup, while Ning Yuhan only ordered the clear soup.

They were sitting at a four-person table with four small hot pot heating positions.

After ordering the hot pot base, the two went to get plates to put the ingredients.

Xu Lin took two large plates of things like oysters, crayfish, duck feet, chicken feet, beef, etc. Ning Yuhan also had a plate, and she was responsible for putting corn, lettuce, water spinach, taro, etc.

The meal was very lavish. When we paid the bill, the total came to over 600, but we got a discount because we bought a voucher, so the final amount was 480.

Save money where you can and spend money where you can; of course, use coupons if you have them.

After we finished eating hot pot, it was exactly 8 p.m.

Xu Lin saw that the Porsche Experience Center was just a few dozen meters away diagonally opposite.

"Senior, let's go check out the car."

"Honey, are you planning to buy a car?"

"Yeah, I'll buy you a car. Didn't I say I'd drive you home during winter break?"

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lin led her into the Porsche Experience Center.

He doesn't buy supercars, and he currently has his eye on two Porsche models: the Cayenne and the Panamera.

Xu Lin used to think that Panamera was a separate brand, but later he learned that it was a model under Porsche.

"Porsche seems very expensive."

Although Ning Yuhan doesn't pay attention to cars, she sometimes hears people discussing Porsche.

"I can buy any Porsche now, what's there to be afraid of? Just follow me!"

"Ah."

Ning Yuhan held Xu Lin's left hand with both hands and followed him.

Xu Lin drove his electric car here today and parked it outside.

The sales staff inside saw it, and while it didn't turn into the sarcastic remarks you see in novels, they remained lukewarm towards it.

Actually, there are quite a lot of people looking at cars at the experience center. Of course, not everyone can afford one. Some of them are college students who come to take a look. Porsche is the dream of many young people, and you might not even dare to come in if you're not very brave.

The main problem is that the cars here are too expensive. Online, people say that the average person owns a million or tens of millions of yuan, and they often see all kinds of luxury cars.

There aren't that many rich people in reality.

Next, Xu Lin looked at the Cayenne and Panamera.

Ultimately, Xu Lin decided to choose the Panamera GTS.

Because Xu Lin opted for the highest configuration, he couldn't pick up the car in just a day or two. The salesperson said he would have to wait about a month, and the earliest he could get the car was the end of December.

"When winter break comes, I'll drive you back home and introduce you to your family."

After buying the car, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan prepared to leave.

"Honey, my younger brother and sister say they want to see you."

"Really? I'll meet them then!"

Xu Lin patted Ning Yuhan's little head. Ning Yuhan was not an only child; she had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who were only four years old this year. In rural families, it was customary to have a son. This was a lingering obsession from agrarian civilization. Moreover, without a son, one was easily bullied in the countryside, even now.

People who grow up in cities may have a biased view of the countryside, thinking that the idyllic life described in books is what the countryside is all about, and that rural areas are full of simple and honest people. But that's not actually the case. The beautiful rural life and the saying "poor mountains and bad waters breed wicked people" actually coexist. Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own. This is an eternal truth.

Ning Yuhan's family were outsiders in the village. There were only two major surnames in the village: Huang and Li. Her family was the only one with the surname Ning. Her grandfather had moved there before, and he only had two sons, Ning Yuhan's father and uncle. Now, the three generations of her family only numbered about a dozen people. In today's stable society, if it were a few decades ago, her family would have been easily bullied because of their small size and the fact that they were outsiders in the village. Other families in the village had dozens of households, totaling several hundred people, and they were all relatives. With so few people, her family might have been bullied.

At 10 p.m., the two returned home.

Ning Yuhan hadn't been here for a week. Xu Lin had been working here for a week, so it was a bit messy. Xu Lin hadn't tidied up yet. When Ning Yuhan saw it, she spent another half hour cleaning up the room, making sure Xu Lin was clean and tidy.

And what about Xu Lin?

I just got back and picked up a package from the delivery station; it's the sexy lingerie I bought for Ning Yuhan.

He then took all the clothes off.

"Senior, wear this outfit first!"

Xu Lin took out the Mai Shiranui outfit. He thought that Ning Yuhan would look great wearing the Mai Shiranui outfit with her hair in a high ponytail.

Upon seeing the clothes, Ning Yuhan's pretty face immediately turned red, and she gave him a slight glare.

"Are you done packing?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"All right."

"Senior, hurry up and change your clothes." Xu Lin looked impatient.

"Then don't look yet, I'll go change my clothes first."

"Okay, hurry up."

"So impatient!"

Ning Yuhan felt helpless and blushed. She took the clothes and went into the guest room. There, she took off her own clothes and mustered up her courage to put on the Shiranui Mai outfit.

The normal Mai Shiranui outfit is already quite revealing, let alone the lingerie version.

Ning Yuhan had never seen this kind of clothing before, and she couldn't describe the feeling. For example, the chest area was only partially covered, and it wasn't just the V-shaped area that was exposed, but also a lot of the sides.

Where are the pants?
There were no pants, and the underwear wasn't even a strip of cloth; it was practically just a thread. Even thongs had more fabric than that.

"What kind of clothes are these?"

Ning Yuhan couldn't hold back, but then she remembered that Xu Lin was happy today, and she had promised him that she would wear this.

So, Ning Yuhan mustered up her courage and put it on.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, pursed her red lips, and walked out of the guest room, her heart pounding with anxiety as she entered the master bedroom.

As soon as Ning Yuhan stepped into the bedroom, Xu Lin pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Xu Lin had already taken off all his clothes and was just waiting for Ning Yuhan to come over.

When Xu Lin saw Ning Yuhan wearing the Mai Shiranui outfit, his eyes lit up.

"Senior, you're so beautiful."

Xu Lin laughed.

"I'll wear this just this once!"

Ning Yuhan's face was so red that even her neck turned red. This outfit was too embarrassing and made her feel uncomfortable all over. It was the first time she had ever worn such revealing clothes.

"Okay, okay, I'll wear it this once."

Xu Lin thought to himself that some things are either zero times or countless times.

Once you've had this one chance, why worry about not having another?
The two of them went to bed very late tonight. Xu Lin was strong and healthy with excess energy. In the past week, he had been busy with the song and hadn't spent time with Ning Yuhan or Rong Xiyan.

In other words, Xu Lin has been holding back for a week, so Ning Yuhan is in for a tough time tonight.

When Ning Yuhan woke up the next morning, her eyes were still red, clearly indicating that she had been badly bullied by Xu Lin the night before.

Ning Yuhan is made of water and cries easily, while Rong Xiyan has only cried twice in all the time she's been with Xu Lin.

As December arrived, Xu Lin drove his electric scooter to school with Ning Yuhan in the morning, facing a cold wind along the way, the air seemingly still carrying icy dew.

"Is it cold?"

While waiting for the green light at the intersection, Xu Lin turned around and asked a question.

"not cold."

Ning Yuhan shook her head, but Xu Lin noticed that her ears were red.

Today, Ning Yuhan wore her hair in a high ponytail.

"You said you weren't cold, but your ears are all red. It'll be better if you let your hair down."

Xu Lin asked Ning Yuhan to let her hair down.

"You too, honey, let me cover you up!"

Ning Yuhan stretched out her hands and covered Xu Lin's ears with her palms to keep them warm, but not completely covered, otherwise it would affect Xu Lin's hearing.

Xu Lin said, "The weather forecast says it's going to get colder again in a few days."

"Then you need to be careful about what you wear these next few days."

Ning Yuhan couldn't help but say, "You always wear two layers, you're prone to catching a cold. You prioritize style over warmth!"

"I'm strong and healthy!"

"Don't bring that up again. No matter how strong you are, you're still a human, not a god!" Ning Yuhan said reproachfully.

Xu Lin didn't take it to heart, but he didn't argue either, since Ning Yuhan cared for him like a mother, taking meticulous care of him.

"Hold on tight, the red light is about to turn red."

"Uh-huh!"
