1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 15: Heading to the TV Station to Sign the Contract

Lin Xiyu muttered to herself, "Being late for school makes a difference, doesn't it?"

"Ugh."

Gu Bin stared at him for a few seconds, then gave in helplessly: "If you don't want to take it, fine, we'll take a taxi."

"Taxi rides are so expensive."

Lin Xiyu was about to retort when Gu Bin's words struck a nerve.

"You're too late, do you not want the 10,000 yuan fee anymore?"

"Okay, whatever."

Lin Xiyu quickly changed her expression: "We'll split the taxi fare in half. You pay for it first, and I'll pay you back when I have the money."

"The last sentence is unnecessary to say; it's obviously insincere."

Gu Bin picked at his ear, pretending not to hear.

"How can you say you're not sincere?"

Lin Xiyu felt looked down upon and her self-esteem was hurt: "I'll have money once I get my paycheck."

Gu Bin smiled slyly: "Whether we'll get the money is still uncertain."

"Didn't you say you had it?"

Lin Xiyu choked, her momentum weakening: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"What do you think?"

Gu Bin's cunning side kicked in, and he decided to tease her again: "What do you have that I could possibly lie to? Money or sex?"

"you you you"

Lin Xiyu was really angry this time and was about to yell at him.

"Go tell your aunt quickly."

Gu Bin reacted quickly, decisively changing the subject before the kitten could react: "Have her come to the phone booth to replace you. It'll be too late if you don't leave now. Don't cry if you don't get paid."

"You're really not lying to me?"

Lin Xiyu felt a tightness in her chest, unable to release her pent-up anger, which made her very uncomfortable.

Gu Bin suppressed a laugh and replied with two words.

"Go quickly!"

Half an hour later, a yellow van stopped in front of the TV station, and Li Yan greeted it warmly.

Even after signing the contract, Lin Xiyu still couldn't believe she could actually earn 10,000 yuan. She felt lightheaded, as if she were walking on clouds, and very unsteady.

"Actually, extras don't get much pay. At most, they get a lunch provided. This money is applied for as a reward for acts of bravery."

Li Yan found it amusing and whispered in her ear, "You really should thank your classmate. He's the kind of person who single-handedly debated with everyone and left our station director speechless."

"Who's that powerful?"

Lin Xiyu was extremely surprised: "You're not talking about Gu Bin, are you?"

"Yes, it's him."

Li Yan chuckled and teased, "This kid is something else, a natural talent for sophistry. He'd be a perfect lawyer, he could even bring the dead back to life."

"puff."

Lin Xiyu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.

-

The contract stipulated that Lin Xiyu must cooperate with the program team's requirements and accept a series of interviews, including subsequent interviews on current hot topics such as the college entrance examination, registration, and employment.

Lin Xiyu had no objection to this. Ten thousand yuan was the salary her mother could earn in two years of hard work. She felt it was too much to ask for just for making a documentary.

Li Yan was very satisfied with her insightful observations and immediately arranged an interview.

The head and director of the "Spring Water Family" program is a man around fifty years old with slightly balding hair. He appears to be a very meticulous and perfectionist person.

He glanced at Lin Xiyu's faded school uniform, waved, and had someone take her to the changing room to change.

"Should I wear this?"

Lin Xiyu was a little dumbfounded when she saw the clothes the stylist had chosen for her.

A white, sleeveless, V-neck dress with a cinched waist accentuates a young woman's curvaceous and graceful figure.

It looks really pretty, but the neckline is too low, revealing an alluring cleavage.

She really isn't used to it!
