Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 50: Millennial Girl with Smiling Eyes

Jing'an Temple, MUSE nightclub, suspended VIP room.

The girl, with her smiling eyes curved into crescents and cunning glints in her eyes, sat next to Lin Xingzhuo like a cunning little fox.

She held the fruit fork with her fingertips and put the watermelon and strawberry on the plate into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up slightly, but her movements were playful as she gobbled the fruit plate voraciously.

The atmosphere in the box was very strange. The other girls with fruit plates who were accompanying Ding Ye and Xiao Ma obviously didn't get along with this girl and were all chirping in low voices.

"You're really good at pretending."

"What's so great about studying at a crappy normal school?"

"She refuses to perform, yet she pretends to be innocent here. How disgusting..."

"This vixen, she's only pretty, but she'd call the police if she touched a single watermelon."

In the circle of fruit plate girls, people generally look down on those who have studied. For example, Shanghai Normal University graduates only earn a few thousand yuan a month after graduation, and they are just here to steal their jobs.

…………

Seeing that his large fruit plate was about to be dazzled by the little fox, Lin Xingzhuo picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate in front of Xiao Ma's table and handed it over.

Click click click...

The millennial girl with smiling eyes hesitated for a few seconds, then came over and ate the watermelon in Lin Xingzhuo's hand at a very fast speed.

Lin Xingzhuo was stunned for a moment, and she gently bit the tip of Lin Xingzhuo's finger.

The girl wiped her mouth and said, "Sorry, I'm starving."

Lin Xingzhuo looked at Zhao Yihan in front of him and said, "Would you like another Shanghainese classic combination platter?"

Zhao Yihan's eyes curved into crescents as he spoke, his thick eyelashes draped over his smiling eyes. He said, "No need. I've been controlling my diet lately, and I have to take photos for the internet tomorrow."

Lin Xingzhuo ate a piece of fried chicken wing and asked, "Take pictures for the internet?"

Zhao Yihan said, "Yes. I'm a model for online stores, taking photos of all kinds of clothes..."

"In addition to being an online model, I also take on advertising models, dancing for commercials, hosting events, and doing acupuncture and massage."

"By the way, I still work at Qiancheng Restaurant. I can secretly add some blood clots to your chicken and duck blood soup."

Lin Xingzhuo gnawed on a chicken wing and said, "The fried pork chop with spicy soy sauce at Qiancheng Restaurant is a classic. I've been busy filming and haven't had time to go."

Zhao Yihan poured the black sauce into the classic glass, unscrewed the acrylic ice bucket, and asked, "Drink it neat? Or iced?"

Lin Xingzhuo said: "I've stopped drinking recently."

Zhao Yihan was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned into crescents, and he said:
"Okay. I'll be working the night shift at the Qiancheng Restaurant on Wednesday and Thursday, so you can come and have some fried pork cutlets with spicy soy sauce."

Lin Xingzhuo looked at Zhao Yihan's busy work schedule and asked, "Are you short of money? Why are you working so many jobs?"

Zhao Yihan drank a glass of Black Label whiskey, wiped his mouth, and said:

"Well, my parents divorced when I was in elementary school. I vaguely remember that my dad was laid off during that time. He was in a bad mood and often beat people."

"During that time, our family had no money to pay for heating, so my mother and I moved into the basement and even the garage for warmth. Later, my mother took me to live with my uncle, and we relied on her part-time job to support us."

"My grades in junior high were very poor. I was labeled a bad student and a narcissist at school. At a parent-teacher conference, a parent publicly insulted me, saying I seduced his son and was affecting his studies..."

Lin Xingzhuo spat out the chicken bone and asked, "What happened next?"

Zhao Yihan began to work on his second cup of black coffee and said, "My mother saved money and supported me to study dance for a while, so I could go to an art secondary school, and then I took the entrance exam for Shanghai Normal University."

"Since my sophomore year last year, I haven't asked my family for money..."

…………

Nan Yihuan, Bei Jingtian, and Zhuang Xinyan who can’t become popular with his singing.

Zhao Yihan's family conditions are indeed very poor.

He is so bad that he accepts any job that comes his way, even the tough ones.

What about Taobao online shopping models who only charge one yuan for a photo, part-time fruit bowl girls in nightclubs, models for Doujia Photography's private photos, and hosts of promotional events at small commodity wholesale markets?

I also worked as a massage girl in a beauty salon for a while. Because I refused to go out, I was targeted by my boss and got tenosynovitis.

During the four years of working and studying in college, I suffered a lot of beatings from society... So, two years later when filming the "Youth" series, China Television proposed a fifteen-year artist contract with a fixed salary of 5000 yuan.

This "first generation otaku goddess" didn't even think twice and signed the contract immediately with joy.

He completely failed to notice that the breach of contract clause stated an automatic 15-year renewal and a 35 million yuan penalty...

........................

I heard the conversation between Lin Xingzhuo and Zhao Yihan.

The girls with fruit plates around all looked disdainful.

A domestically abusive father, a divorced mother, a broken home, and a sensible girl.

Is there anyone who would be fooled by such old-fashioned rhetoric?
At this time, Lin Xingzhuo said, "Open a bottle of Hennessy XO."

Zhao Yihan's eyes turned into crescents as he smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

…………

Lin Xingzhuo said this.

The gazes of the fruit plate girls in the entire box were all cast towards him with burning passion...

What the hell? This is possible?
A single bottle of XO-grade brandy costs 8000 yuan, and it is the foreign liquor with the highest commission rate in MUSE nightclub.

The commission rate is as high as 40%, and the commission per bottle is 3200 yuan, which is far higher than that of ordinary alcoholic beverages.

This teacher-trained girl is so lucky! Her stockings haven't even pilled yet, and she opened a bottle of Hennessy!

Did they catch a super fat sheep?!
………………

The weak are still envious of their luck, while the strong have already started to take action...

The 1.8-meter-tall beauty with long wavy hair who was originally standing next to the driver Xiao Ma, lifted her hair and came over with a glass of Moët & Chandon champagne.

Her thick curly hair poured down like the night, hanging down on her shoulders wrapped in a black velvet tight skirt, the hem of which outlined her full waist-to-hip ratio.

The slender legs were wrapped in transparent black stockings with polka dot patterns, shimmering under the laser light.

She came to Lin Xingzhuo's left and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother, my name is Kimi. Actually, I also work part-time to pay for my studies."

Lin Xingzhuo thought, this is indeed a nightclub invested by Sister Jialing, the staff is indeed of high quality, and everyone has a bachelor's degree, so he asked, "Which school did you go to?"

Kimi said: "New Oriental, New Oriental, I studied to be a kindergarten teacher."

When Lin Xingzhuo heard the name of this school, he knew that this person was a master.

The girl next to her interrupted and said, "Sister Kimi, what a great school! 800 beds in stainless steel."

Kimi was not moved at all. Instead, he said in a coquettish voice, "Hate it! What are you laughing at? I studied seriously for two years and even attended a half-year class at the Sinan Road Kindergarten."

"I'm working part-time because I want to improve my academic qualifications and take the correspondence course at China University of Posts and Telecommunications."

Lin Xingzhuo asked, "Have you saved enough money?"

Kimi said sadly: "I had saved enough, but my brother had good grades and was admitted to university..."

Lin Xingzhuo asked, "Where are your parents?"

Kim sighed, drank the champagne, and said, "My dad is an alcoholic and doesn't work anymore, and my mom likes playing cards and is in debt."

Lin Xingzhuo: “…”

An alcoholic father, a gambling mother, a school-age brother, and a broken girl.
This is treating yourself as a fool.

…………

Kimi noticed Lin Xingzhuo's unusual expression and quickly changed the subject:
"Oh, it's nothing actually."

"In our industry, the older brother earns money and the younger brother spends it, and the younger sister earns money and the older sister spends it."

"Speaking of which, your voice is really nice, even nicer than Guo Fucheng's."

Lin Xingzhuo became interested and asked, "Kimi, have you met Guo Fucheng?"
