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

Chapter 174: A Record of the Chi Family's Experiences - The Interview About to Begin
Xu Lin sat down on the sofa next to the old man.

"Is Xiao Xu busy with work today?"

Xu Linyao, dressed in formal attire, was a jade tree among men, a dragon among men, and Chi Lingri did not overlook him.

He had lived a glorious life for most of his years, struggling and even turning the tide in the storms of life. Now, with half of his body in the ground, he had seen all sorts of people in his life, including virtuous and wise men, scoundrels and villains, and of course, ordinary people who could be found everywhere.

Therefore, most of the time, Chi Lingri's heart was calm and peaceful.

He had never seen anyone like Xu Lin before, and he was deeply moved.

"I went with Sister Yue to see her discuss business, just to get a feel for it."

At this moment, Chi Linyue brought two cups to Xu Lin and the old man and poured them hot tea.

Chi Linyue said from the side, "Xu Lin went with me to discuss business today."

"Xiao Xu, I heard from Lin Yue that you've been making headlines online lately?"

Chi Lingri nodded slightly, took a sip of hot tea, and asked.

"I wouldn't say I was in the limelight; I think it was pretty ordinary."

"Take it lightly? Haha..."

Chi Lingri burst into laughter.

The old man's laugh was full of energy; he looked very healthy.

Xu Lin replied calmly, "Yes, take it easy!"

In fact, if other young people said that to Chi Lingri, Chi Lingri would have thought they were bragging.

Young people are destined to be impatient; this is determined by their experience and personal cultivation, and there is no other reason.

But Xu Lin was different. With such an outstanding temperament, if Chi Lingri hadn't known about Xu Lin's family background, he would have thought that he came from a wealthy and powerful family.

People like Xu Lin are truly rare and precious.

Chi Lingri laughed and said, "I'm an old man now, my thinking is a bit rigid, and I can't accept new things. I saw your experience online, and then I suddenly realized that you're only eighteen years old. You are truly a genius, one in a lifetime!"

"The old man has seen far more storms than I have, so this is probably nothing to him."

"At eighteen, you're not even twenty yet. Xiao Xu, your future holds endless possibilities."

"You flatter me, sir."

Xu Lin didn't want to talk too much about these things; young people and the elderly simply couldn't see eye to eye.

Xu Lin felt that the old man was an elder, and in accordance with the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, Xu Lin had to be humble and respectful, so his words were not very natural.

The two chatted for a while.

"Xu Lin, do you want to take off your coat?"

At this moment, Chi Linyue, who had changed into a set of home clothes, came over and said.

Xu Lin took off his coat, and Chi Linyue helped him put it away.

Chi Lingri asked his son, who was playing on his phone, "A-Ting, tell Xiao Sun to bring an extra pair of chopsticks tonight and make the dishes more plentiful."

"Okay, I'll tell Sister Sun!"

At home, Chi Longting's wife, Zhao Yingqiong, usually does the cooking. Zhao Yingqiong is a good cook and can prepare delicious dishes.

However, now that she has a baby, it's naturally not appropriate for her to go into the kitchen anymore, so she hired a skilled cook who lives in their neighborhood and comes over to help with cooking at set times.

Xu Lin is here today, so the old man has to tell her to get ready early.

"Xiao Xu, you can tell A Ting what you'd like to eat tonight."

Chi Lingri looked at him.

Chi Longting also asked, "Xu Lin, what would you like to eat?"

"A simple home-style dish will suffice."

Are there any dietary restrictions?

"No."

How could there be dietary restrictions when someone comes to your home for a meal? Xu Lin was quite sensible.

If he had to name a dietary restriction, it would be onions and garlic, which Xu Lin really dislikes, but he wouldn't say it.

Next, Xu Lin continued chatting with Chi Lingri on the sofa.

The old man asked him about the future developments, and as Xu Lin explained his plans, Chi Lingri nodded in approval without offering any elder's opinions.

Xu Lin thought the old man was a decent person. Some middle-aged and elderly people easily fall into a state of rigid thinking and being overly paternalistic, which simply means giving advice to young people. Chi Lingri, as an elderly person, did not have this problem.

Although he is a big shot and his opinions are not a big deal, but rather very valuable, Xu Lin's current development situation does not require other people's opinions.

Chi Lingri said, "Your business is doing very well now, but the outside world is extremely dangerous, so you should be careful. In the future, as your business grows bigger and bigger, you will also encounter a lot of trouble."

Xu Lin nodded in agreement, saying there was nothing wrong with such an opinion.

As he spoke, Chi Lingri took a sip of tea. “I joined the army when I was very young. Later, I was appreciated by my old leaders, which allowed me to rise from a greenhorn to a high-ranking official. But the journey was also extremely dangerous. I almost died several times. Once, when I was only in my forties, I spent two years in prison. A lot of things happened after that. A few years ago, I finally landed safely and got away from the vortex of struggle.”

Politics is a deadly thing, and Xu Lin knew that was what the other person was talking about.

Chi Lingri continued, "I remember the time I was in jail, I pointed at the leader across from me and cursed, 'You old bastard, I'll f*** your mother,' haha... I felt very good at the time. It's been almost forty years now, and I still remember the scene very clearly. I never thought I would end up in jail, but the reason I went in wasn't because of this incident. The reasons are too complicated. Xiao Xu, can you understand taking sides?"

Chi Lingri burst into laughter.

Chi Longting said, "Grandpa, what's with the 'cao'? It's too vulgar!"

"You brat, what do you know? Your parents raised you too well, you lack guts. They should have sent you to the army to train you back then!"

Chi Lingri glared at him, looking quite angry, which startled Chi Longting so much that he sat up straight.

"A sense of courage is essential!"

Chi Lingri emphasized, patting Xu Lin on the shoulder.

Xu Lin talked with him for quite a while.

Later, when it got dark, Auntie Xiao Sun came over with two large bags of groceries, including both vegetables and meat.

On the other side, Zhao Yingqiong and her child, who had just been sleeping, also woke up.

A short while later, Zhao Yingqiong came out carrying the child.

"Xu Lin, when did you arrive?"

Zhao Yingqiong asked.

"Sister-in-law, she arrived not long ago."

Xu Lin stood up, his gaze falling on Xi Xi in the other person's arms.

The other person smiled and asked, "Would you like to hold the baby?"

"I'll give it a try; I've never held a baby before."

"Yes, her name is Xixi, she's a girl," Zhao Yingqiong said.

Xu Lin carefully took the child from the other person's arms.

Thanks to her parents' good looks, Xixi is naturally very pretty. Who knows how beautiful she will be when she grows up? Right now, she's very cute, still blowing bubbles in her swaddling clothes, her beautiful big eyes curiously looking at Xu Lin, this stranger.

"Xixi is so cute!"

Xu Lin smiled.

At this moment, Xi Xi raised her right hand, her face full of curiosity. Seeing her reach out as if she wanted to grab something, Xu Lin leaned down and let her touch his face. Xi Xi smiled happily and stopped blowing bubbles.

My sister-in-law smiled and said, "It seems like Xixi likes you quite a bit!"

"Wow wow wow..."

Xi Xi was born not long ago and can't speak yet, she can only make some interjections.

But Xu Lin realized that she really liked him. After holding her for a while, he wanted to let Zhao Yingqiong hold her, but she was unwilling. Xu Lin could only continue to hold her and feed her formula.

Finally, it was mealtime, and Zhao Yingqiong took her back. It took a long time to coax her before Xixi calmed down, holding the milk bottle in both hands and still looking at Xu Lin.

Dinner was plentiful, consisting of home-style dishes, including seven dishes and a soup. The auntie's cooking skills were also excellent.

"Xu Lin, eat more!"

Zhao Yingqiong said, "No need to be so polite with us."

Xu Lin then said, "Everyone, please eat too."

Xu Lin was treated like a distinguished guest, and everyone treated him very well, which made Xu Lin a little embarrassed.

Dinner passed by in a cheerful and lively atmosphere.

"Xu Lin, are you taking a shower now?"

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and resting for a long time, Chi Linyue came over and asked.

Holding Xixi, Zhao Yingqiong said to Chi Longting, "Honey, bring out a new set of clothes that you haven't worn before, so Xu Lin can change into them."

"I'm going right now!"

Chi Longting hurriedly went back to his room to find clothes.

Before long, Chi Longting came out with a new set of clothes: a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and underwear. Chi Longting's build was similar to Xu Lin's, both being normal-sized, over 1.8 meters tall.

"Xu Lin, these clothes are all new and unworn. Take them to change into tonight."

"Thanks, Brother Ting."

Xu Lin took the clothes.

Chi Linyue then took Xu Lin to take a bath.

This apartment is indeed two units combined. One unit has two bathrooms, one is a shared bathroom, and the other is a bathroom in the master bedroom, making a total of four bathrooms.

Chi Linyue took Xu Lin to one of the public restrooms.

"Let's take a shower here!"

Chi Linyue said.

Xu Lin smiled and said, "Together?"

"Dream on!" Chi Linyue pinched his cheek.

Finally, Chi Linyue came out of the bathroom and closed the door for Xu Lin.

Xu Lin spent about ten minutes taking a shower, and then a few more minutes drying his hair afterward.

As he was heading back to the living room, passing by the study, Xu Lin saw Chi Lingri practicing calligraphy inside.

Noticing Xu Lin passing by and looking in, Chi Lingri asked, "Xiao Xu, is the hot water in the bathroom hot enough?"

"enough!"

Xu Lin walked in and asked, "Is the old man practicing calligraphy?"

Chi Lingri laughed and said, "After retiring, I have nothing to do, so I occasionally practice calligraphy. But I can't really call it calligraphy; I can only say I practice writing!"

Xu Lin walked over and took a look, and found that the calligraphy that Chi Lingri was copying was regular script.

As for his regular script calligraphy, it can't be said to be particularly beautiful; it certainly looks like he was practicing calligraphy.

Xu Lin now possesses the skill of writing beautifully and is proficient in calligraphy, so he understands all the intricacies of calligraphy. Strictly speaking, Chi Lingri's writing cannot yet be considered calligraphy.

However, these words should naturally not be said.

Xu Lin asked curiously, "Whose regular script is this?"

"Yan Zhenqing!"

Chi Lingri dipped his brush in ink and wrote the character 'Yan' on the rice paper.

Xu Lin suddenly realized, "So it's Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. Yan's style is as strong as Liu's. Yan Zhenqing's family was full of loyal and righteous people, and his calligraphy also has its own unique realm."

Actually, Xu Lin could add a sentence, saying that Yan Zhenqing was upright and incorruptible, just like you, sir.

However, being too shrewd is not a good thing either.

"Haha, that's true! Yan Zhenqing's entire family were loyal martyrs!"

Chi Lingri laughed heartily, "Little Xu, I didn't expect you to know about Yan Zhenqing's deeds. My grandson even graduated from a top university. When I asked him about Yan Zhenqing, he only knew that Yan Zhenqing was a calligrapher, but he knew nothing about Yan Zhenqing's character. It's truly shameful!"

"Everyone has their own expertise; perhaps Brother Ting is shining brightly in other fields as well."

"He's just average, not the best but not the worst either; he'll never amount to anything!"

Chi Lingri shook his head.

He continued writing, then pointed to the characters he had written and asked Xu Lin, "Xiao Xu, have you read this article?"

Xu Lin glanced at it and said, "Yan Zhenqing's 'Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew'."

"Young Xu is very knowledgeable. His 'Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew' is well-known in the calligraphy world, but not many outsiders know about it!"

The "Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew" is a work by Yan Zhenqing. Because it is written in running script, it is known as the second best running script in the world. As for the first, it is naturally Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion".

Many people know that Yan Zhenqing was a calligrapher, and he and Liu Gongquan were known as "Yan's sinews and Liu's bones". In the history of calligraphy, he is one of the most brilliant and dazzling figures.

But many people don't know that Yan Zhenqing's entire family were loyal martyrs.

He himself was upright and incorruptible. During the An Lushan Rebellion, he rose up in resistance, and members of his family also charged into battle. Later, many family members died on the battlefield. In particular, Yan Gaoqing and Yan Jiming were killed because they refused to surrender. In a state of extreme grief, Yan Zhenqing wrote "Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew", which is a work by Yan Zhenqing to commemorate his family members.

Yan Zhenqing himself later died a heroic death in the resistance against the rebels, demonstrating his loyalty to the cause.

Therefore, Yan Zhenqing's family can be described as having high moral character and being a family of loyal martyrs, which is very rare in history. After all, when people think of a family of loyal martyrs, the Yang family generals are probably the only one that comes to mind.

Volume 128 of the Old Book of Tang contains the Biography of Yan Zhenqing.

Volume 153 of the New Book of Tang is also the biography of Yan Zhenqing.

Historically, historians have always been generous in their records and even devoted considerable attention to such loyal and righteous figures.

I had read it by chance before.

In fact, Xu Lin only glanced at it briefly, but he had a good memory, and since it was only about two hundred words, he remembered it.

The Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang also described Yan Zhenqing in great detail, and Xu Lin then learned that Yan Zhenqing was actually like this, and that his entire family was like this as well.

Xu Lin, out of curiosity, searched for "Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew" and glanced at it.

Chi Lingri seemed to have met a kindred spirit and said with a smile, "My grandson can't even concentrate on reading."

Finally, he asked, "Can Xiao Xu write?"

Being able to write means being able to write with a brush, or in other words, calligraphy, not just simply writing a character.

"I've practiced before."

"Why don't you give it a try, Xiao Xu?"

"Row."

Chi Lingri got Xu Lin a new sheet of Xuan paper.

Xu Lin: "The Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew?"

"it is good."

"There are many places in the 'Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew' that Yan Zhenqing made corrections to, so I won't write about them. Let's just go with the parts that weren't corrected?"

"also."

Chi Lingri smiled.

Xu Lin picked up the brush, straightened his grip, and dipped it in ink.

Next to it is Yan Zhenqing's regular script calligraphy. Of course, this is not an original work by Chi Lingri; it was just used for copying.

Xu Lin took a look.

With a natural talent for calligraphy, Xu Lin was able to imitate the works of any calligrapher.

"The first year of the Weiqian era..."

Xu Lin began writing in Yan Zhenqing's regular script.

It is almost identical to Yan Zhenqing's regular script.

Of course, "almost" here doesn't mean "completely," it just means similar in form but not in spirit; the essence is missing.

The spirit and charm of calligraphy are very difficult to imitate. Throughout history, only a handful of calligraphers have been able to capture the spirit and charm of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy.

But regardless, Xu Lin's calligraphy is already quite astonishing.

Chi Lingri, standing to the side, was also astonished: "Xiao Xu's calligraphy is incredible!"

Xu Lin thought to himself, "You're an outsider, of course you're amazing."

"It cannot be called calligraphy. It is just imitation of others and should not be called calligraphy."

"Haha, Little Xu is being modest!"

Chi Lingri looked at Xu Lin and found himself liking him more and more each time he looked at him.

Soon, the "Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew" was completed; it was actually only about two hundred words long.

Chi Lingri exclaimed in surprise, "It feels exactly like Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy!"

"Not yet, because there is no spirit, only form, so it cannot be said to be exactly the same."

"Haha, a god?"

Chi Lingri laughed heartily, "I doubt this old man will ever reach Xu's level of calligraphy before I die!"

"The old man is joking, it's not that serious."

Xu Linzhen was in a real bind.

But what followed was an even bigger headache, because Chi Lingri asked him to give him pointers on calligraphy.

Faced with this, Xu Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Confucius said: The problem with people is that they like to be teachers.

Aside from business dealings, such as online novels and songwriting, where his subordinates help him make money, Xu Lin teaches them. But at other times, Xu Lin never instructs anyone, yet Chi Lingri specifically asked him to do so.

It's impossible not to have a big head.

"Were you discussing calligraphy with my grandfather just now?"

Around 10 p.m., Chi Linyue came over to make up Xu Lin's bed.

He said I had good handwriting and asked me to teach him.

"You also know calligraphy?"

"I've learned this before."

"Your brain is really amazing, I wonder what it's holding!"

Chi Linyue was quite surprised. She knew her grandfather well; how could she let someone else instruct him?

Don't underestimate the arrogance of this old man who once held a high position.

Xu Lin got into bed, sat on it, leaned against the headboard, put his hands behind his head, and looked very relaxed.

"It's just so-so, I won't pursue calligraphy."

"Having multiple skills is a good thing. When you're out and about, it's always good to have more skills, and you might even get some unexpected surprises!"

Chi Linyue said, "My grandfather said that when he was in the army, his old commander once said he needed someone with beautiful handwriting. Guess what? My grandfather stepped up. After several times, the old commander thought this young man was capable and started training him. My grandfather had previously said that he never knew he would go that far."

"That's just one reason. There are many factors involved in your grandfather's decision to go up there."

"That's true, but you have to start somewhere, right? Aren't there plenty of outstanding people in the military? There's a saying: 'When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend a hand; when luck turns, even heroes are powerless.' Luck and opportunity are sometimes incredibly important!"

"That too."

Xu Lin thought it made sense.

"You have an interview tomorrow night?"

"It's a website interview, nothing special, no face shown."

"oh oh."

Chi Linyue was still helping Xu Lin put on a pillowcase, because she was facing away from Xu Lin, so her buttocks were facing him.

When I was young, I didn't know the moon and called it a white jade plate.
The visual impact is truly strong.

Xu Lin reached out and grabbed it.

"what?"

"Touch it."

Xu Lin grinned evilly.

"You call this touching?"

"hey-hey!"

Xu Lin: "Shall we sleep together tonight?"

"Dream on, be honest."

Chi Linyue felt that she needed to control herself. Like last night, after discovering the abnormality in her body, she felt that if she didn't act rationally, she would probably be taken advantage of by Xu Lin.

It's hard to say what the body is like. Sometimes when you're emotionally charged, you might not care about anything else.

Confucius said, "Food and sex are the greatest desires of humankind."

Matters between men and women are difficult to control.

Soon, all four bedding items were arranged for Chi Linyue.

She clapped her hands and said, "I'm going back now. Get some rest tonight!"

"Ok."

Here's a little reward for you!

Chi Linyue leaned in and kissed Xu Lin on the cheek.

"Is there an even bigger reward?"

"no!"

Chi Linyue straightened her clothes and hair: "I'm going back to rest too, goodnight."

"good night!"

Afterwards, Chi Linyue left the room and closed the door for Xu Lin.

Life is as lonely as snow. Xu Lin thought he could sleep with Chi Linyue tonight and take advantage of her.

However, it does not.

It's only a little past ten o'clock now, so it's impossible for Xu Lin to be asleep so early.

Based on his thoughts from last night, Xu Lin wanted to deal with the messages on his assistant's account tonight, but he only had his phone and no computer here, so he decided to do it tomorrow.

Xu Lin logged onto QQ and chatted with Ranzhi for a while.

The interview will be held tomorrow night at 7 p.m., at the website headquarters, and will be conducted via live stream.

Xu Lin calculated the time and decided that it would be better for him to arrive there a little after six o'clock.

The interview lasted about an hour.

The details of the interview will be revealed tomorrow night.

However, Xu Lin understood that in order to prevent any mishaps during the program, he would know the interview content in advance, which was like an open-book exam. After all, it was a live interview, and if the questions were not discussed beforehand, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

"Mr. Xu, see you tomorrow night!" she said.

Xu Lin: “OK.”

The two chatted for a while.

Xu Lin played on his phone for another half hour, then decided to go to sleep.

the next morning.

"Xu Lin, are you preparing to leave so early?"

Seeing that Xu Lin was already dressed, Zhao Yingqiong came over carrying the child.

"Sister-in-law, I have something to do today."

Just then, Xixi, who was in Zhao Yingqiong's arms, stretched out her hands.

"She wants you to hug her!"

Zhao Yingqiong said with a smile.

"Let me hug Xixi!"

Xu Lin carefully took Xi Xi from the other person's arms again, and Xi Xi immediately laughed, murmuring interjections that were incomprehensible to others.

Zhao Yingqiong couldn't help but say, "Xixi likes you very much!"

"is it?"

In fact, Xu Lin also felt that Xi Xi liked him very much. He didn't know if it was because he had saved the mother and daughter before, so he had a natural affection for them. He couldn't say that it was because he was good-looking that the other party liked him, could he? Chi Longting's family was all good-looking. Even the old man Chi Lingri was a handsome old man.

"It certainly looks like it!"

Chi Linyue came over and gently touched her niece's rosy cheeks with her index finger.

"Xixi, Auntie's going to work now. Be a good girl at home, okay?"

Chi Linyue coaxed.

Xu Lin asked, "Xi Xi should be very well-behaved, right?"

Zhao Yingqiong said with great relief, "She doesn't cry or fuss. When she needs to go to the toilet, she just pulls on her parents. She almost never wets her pants or poops on her diaper!"

"Xixi must be a very smart girl!"

Xu Lin also teased Xi Xi's little face with his finger, and the child laughed. She tried to grab Xu Lin's hand with both hands, and Xu Lin took her hand in return.

"Xixi, Uncle is leaving now, be a good girl, okay?"

Xu Lin coaxed her.

Xi Xi clearly understood, but she couldn't speak yet. She just nodded her little head and made interjections that others couldn't understand.

Chi Linyue and Zhao Yingqiong were amused.

"Good girl!" Chi Linyue patted her little head.

"sister in law."

Xu Lin handed Xi Xi to Zhao Yingqiong to hold.

Afterwards, Xu Lin said goodbye to Chi Longting.

Chi Longting said, "Xu Lin, remember to come often when you have time!"

"no problem!"

As for Chi Lingri, he said goodbye half an hour ago; the old man has already gone to the park next door to practice Tai Chi.

Before long, Xu Lin had returned to his car.

"Let me take you back to the company, I have things to do later."

"Uh-huh."

Chi Linyue nodded and fastened her seatbelt in the passenger seat.

Half an hour later, Xu Lin escorted Chi Linyue to her office building. "Goodbye!"

Chi Linyue reminded him, "Drive safely."

"Don't worry, I'm leaving now."

After saying goodbye to Chi Linyue, Xu Lin planned to find a hair salon to get a haircut.

"Jiangdu is great in every way, except it's hard to find a reliable hair salon!"

Xu Lin wandered around and found that the hair salons were all run by a group of energetic young men. From the outside, each one looked more high-end than the last. Xu Lin thought to himself, "I just want to get a haircut."

Finally, we found one that looked reasonably normal.

Xu Lin hadn't cut his hair for a while, and finally got a side-swept style that suited him very well.

Xu Lin now has an amazing amount of hair. With his thick hair styled in a side part, his appearance seems to have improved.

It was already past 10 a.m., but it was still early.

Xu Lin went back to the duplex, took a shower, and it was only a little past eleven o'clock.

Thinking that the interview was still a while away, Xu Lin logged into his assistant's account on his computer.

More than 30 hours have passed since the post on Xiaohongshu, and now countless people have added Xu Lin's assistant's account.

The number of people who only know that I've added as friends is 99+.

"It needs to be dealt with."

Xu Lin called up the mini-program he had previously set up on the computer.

Mini Program Name: Xu Tongxue.

Instruction: Count how many people there are?
Student Xu: A total of 36595 people!
"Huh? So many?"

Xu Lin was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected there to be so many people.

Command: All requests with stated purpose will be approved; requests without stated purpose will be deleted by swiping left.

Student Xu: Instruction completed! 4595 people have passed!
For regular WeChat users, the maximum number of friends is 10,000.

Instructions: Send a unified message: "Send a video of you singing, a cappella, show your full potential, and make sure you show your face."

Student Xu: Sent.

Xu Lin thought about it again. The thought of having more than 4,000 videos to watch, even if each video was only one minute long, would amount to 4595 minutes, or 76 hours!
But it's impossible for a video to be only one minute long. Even if you only watch a little bit of each video, it will still take a lot of time.

This is a lot of work.

"Let me think about it..."

Xu Lin began to think about it.

Before long, Xu Lin had a flash of inspiration. He thought of a very efficient method, although the preliminary work would be a bit troublesome.

The method is to feed Xu songs by domestic singers so that it can develop the ability to distinguish whether a singer is good or bad.

In this way, after watching a video, it can tell whether the person sings well or not, and screens out Xu Lin in advance.

So for the next five hours, Xu Lin studied this matter.

He searched for popular songs by the top 100 most popular singers in China, basically feeding them as many popular songs as possible.

Xu Lin practically fed all of Jay Chou's ideas to Xu.

However, Xu Lin also categorized them, such as those with good singing skills, those with distinctive voices, and so on, allowing Xu to distinguish between them.

The last step is to have Xu identify the person's appearance.

Therefore, Xu Lin fed Xu a few hundred more pictures of people from the internet, categorizing them into several levels based on their appearance.

After all, in the entertainment industry, if you're not good-looking, you won't become famous. Those who do become famous are either accidents or extremely rare cases, so they're not representative unless the person's personal ability is truly terrifying, but such people are extremely rare.

The whole process took Xu Lin five hours, and he finally managed to feed it all to Xu.

Instructions: Select those who are good-looking, have good singing skills, have distinctive voices, and are strong in all aspects.

Instructions: Also, follow the previous instructions if you add new friends.

Xu: Okay.

Student Xu: This next task requires a certain amount of time and I need to spend some time on it.

Xu Lin checked the time; it was almost 5 p.m.

Thinking it was time to leave, he stopped worrying about the matter and just left his computer on.

Finally, Xu Lin took another shower, dressed neatly, and set off.

It was the same suit I wore yesterday.

At around six o'clock, Xu Lin arrived at his destination.

The headquarters of the novel company.

What awaited Xu Lin was his attempt to seduce.

Ranzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, the host has arrived. She's heard you're very handsome, and she's very curious about you!"

Xu Lin remained calm, "I also want to see how beautiful she is in person."

"It's beautiful!"

He patted his chest.

The female host's name is Ye Yuqing. She is 26 years old and a professional host, but she is not from the website company. She was hired from outside. She is quite famous in the hosting field because of her looks and figure.

For a profession like hosting, which involves being in the public eye, especially for female hosts, physical appearance plays a greater role than ability. It's very important to have good looks and a good figure, just like female celebrities. Besides, which female host on TV isn't good-looking?
Xu Lin soon met Ye Yuqing.

He had seen many great beauties and felt that Ye Yuqing was just so-so in real life. If he had to compare her looks, she was on par with Li Sinan, who was already considered a goddess in real life.

In addition, as a female host with a certain degree of fame, she is a top-tier talent.

In reality, only elite men can't get involved with this kind of woman.

Are you really Mr. Xu?

When Ye Yuqing met Xu Lin, she was amazed by his appearance and felt quite uncomfortable standing there. She didn't dare to meet Xu Lin's eyes, especially when Xu Lin looked at her earlier and their eyes met, Ye Yuqing blushed.

The men in the surrounding novel company knew that Ye Yuqing, as a host, usually had a cool and aloof image online, and was called a goddess by many boys, but now she was actually shy in front of Xu Lin.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a girl as beautiful as you, and it's made me a little nervous. You're so pretty, are all TV hosts curled up like this now?"

Xu Lin was just bragging, but girls were easily swayed by his words.

"Oh, no, haha, I'm not that pretty."

Ye Yuqing felt embarrassed. Although she didn't dare to look Xu Lin in the eye, she would glance at him intentionally or unintentionally from time to time.

Xu Lin is blessed with good looks and has a lot of advantages; few women can resist him.

Ye Yuqing said, "I never expected that the famous Mr. Xu would be so young and so handsome!"

"Actually, I hope that people will praise my talent, rather than just see my appearance."

"But your talent is just as outstanding!"

"is it?"

"Yes!"

Ye Yuqing took out her phone and scanned the QR code on her private account.

"Would it be convenient to add each other as friends?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Let's add each other as friends, just to get to know each other," Ye Yuqing said eagerly.

"That won't do, I have a girlfriend!"

Xu Lin refused, looking quite serious.

Ye Yuqing: ...

I was surprised to be rejected.
