Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 55 Is Our Family Celebrating the New Year Early?
Qin Haiyang felt that he had made himself clear enough, but Li Wanqing still didn't understand?

Pretending to be confused?
How can someone so muddle-headed be a teacher?
Fortunately, Qin Haiyang has never been one for shame, and he said directly, "Teacher Li, the influencer circle is similar to the entertainment circle. I'm sure you know some of the gossip in the entertainment circle. Which one of those who make it to the top hasn't made some sacrifices? Being photographed is the least of their worries..."

Li Wanqing: "???"

She didn't quite understand before, but after Qin Haiyang used the entertainment industry as a comparison, she immediately understood.

In an instant, her expression towards Qin Haiyang changed.

"sorry for disturbance."

Li Wanqing quickly walked away. Her idealized image of Lin Lang was shattered at that moment; this guy was actually engaging in the unspoken rules of the game.

If a newly opened media company is already doing this, how outrageous will it become in the future?
too crazy!

According to Qin Haiyang, did Yun Yiyi also get photographed?

Upon thinking of this, Li Wanqing instantly lost all interest in Lin Lang and her impulse to become an internet celebrity diminished considerably.

After all, she simply couldn't handle the pressure that came with it.

Qin Haiyang noticed Li Wanqing's resistance, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong. After all, if Li Wanqing didn't become an internet celebrity, it would have nothing to do with him, and whether she was a respectable woman or not was even less of his business.

Therefore, I feel at ease.

"If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. There's still Yi Yi."

……

After Li Wanqing returned to her office, Lin Lili called her aside.

Lin Lili is in her thirties this year. She returned to her hometown relatively early. After graduating from vocational school, she took the civil service exam and returned to her hometown.

He has many relatives in his hometown and has some connections. More than ten years later, he has become the director of Xigang Town No. 1 Primary School based on his excellent professional titles.

"Wanqing, how are things going with your brother?"

The security guard is a relative of hers. When he came over today, he mentioned that Lin Lang had returned a few days ago.

That day, Li Wanqing happened to drive to the school as well, and she subconsciously assumed that the two of them had come here for a date.

Li Wanqing is now completely disillusioned with Lin Lang. Recently, after learning that Lin Lang had made Yun Yiyi famous and earned a fortune, she had been feeling unsettled for a long time. However, what Qin Haiyang said just now directly caused her physical discomfort.

"Sister Lili, I have nothing to do with Lin Lang. When I asked you last time, it was simply because I thought he was someone who would finish what he started. Actually, I don't really like Lin Lang's type..."

She felt she needed to make things clear immediately.

If Lin Lang's actions were to become public, her past blind date with him would also be affected.

Lin Lili was dumbfounded. "I heard that my younger brother came to the school to look for you a couple of days ago. Isn't that great?"

"He didn't come to see me, he came to see Yun Yiyi."

"What? How does he know Yun Yiyi?"

"Lin Lang works for Big Fish Media, he's here to film a video for Yun Yiyi..."

"Is it Big Fish Media, the company whose contract Yun Yiyi's boyfriend's family bought out for 1.4 million?"

"correct."

……

That's how people found out that Lin Lang had made some dirty money.

He was still transferring funds at the company when Ms. Xu called.

"Son, you made money?"

"what?"

"Quickly tell Mom if it's true, is it 1.4 million?"

"Mom, who told you that?"

"Your sister! She said you became some kind of internet celebrity, and she's super popular online. Her boyfriend is the richest man in the county, and he bought her contract for 1.4 million, right?"

Lin Lang: "..."

He just received the money; he hasn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.

How did so many people find out?
"Uh...it's true, but not all of that money was earned. I've been working so hard from dawn till dusk, and there are all sorts of expenses, including paying off bank loans..."

"How much did you borrow?" "One hundred thousand yuan, plus my previous investment of over twenty thousand."

"That means you made over 1.2 million, right?"

"No, we still need to pay our employees' salaries, and we also owe another company a sum of money, about 900,000 yuan."

"Whom do you owe?"

"..."

Lin Lang didn't want his family to know he was making money; it's just not the right time yet.

He's just getting started, but once word gets out, people wanting to borrow money will be lining up at his doorstep.

He knew all too well the pressure that came with having money back home.

He doesn't have the energy to deal with this kind of nonsense. Every penny is precious right now, and there's no way he'll lend it out.

"Mom, we haven't made much money. After all, operations require resources, and I paid for all of those resources. It's like selling goods; I relied on connections to get a batch of goods on credit and sold them. Now I have to pay back the money, and after deducting the previous loans, the remaining money is just enough for the company to operate until the end of the year..."

But don't worry, I'm confident I can make money. Once I've really made enough, you and Dad won't need to work anymore. You can travel every day, and I'll support you."

Ms. Xu said with a smile, "Traveling is not very interesting. We are happy to stay at home and hold our grandson."

Lin Lang: "...Okay, I'll have ten or eight kids then, and you won't be able to keep up."

"Pah, pah, pah, do you think you're raising piglets?"

……

Although Lin Lang made up an excuse and told Ms. Xu that he didn't earn that much.

But just after he got off work, he received a WeChat message from Yan Li.

"Congratulations! You made over a million! That's impressive."

"No, how did you know that?"

"Auntie said so, and she even invited me to your house during the National Day holiday, and I accepted."

"?????"

……

When Lin Lang returned home, he saw that Ms. Xu had prepared a large and sumptuous dinner, with four or five dishes, and someone else was busy in the kitchen.

His father hadn't returned yet, so Lin Lang went over and asked, "Mom, did you look for Yan Li?"

Ms. Xu said without turning her head, "I found her, and invited her over to hang out. Mainly, your sister said that the female teacher didn't work out, and it seems like our family is really envious. Yan Li is quite nice..."

Lin Lang: "..."

It turns out that Ms. Xu realized that there was no chance with Li Wanqing, so she shifted her focus to Yan Li.

She pretended to like Yan Li, but in reality, she didn't have much hope. She simply wanted to use Yan Li to raise her own status.

Anyway, everyone in the neighborhood knows that he gave up a job with a million-dollar annual salary and went back to his hometown. Even the daughter of the big boss came after him.

Because several middle-aged women had seen Yan Li, this news was highly credible, and almost no one doubted it.

Now that she's earning her own money, Ms. Xu doesn't feel as much pressure when facing Yan Li.

"By the way, what about the skincare set that Lili gave me before? You didn't give it away, did you? If you did, ask for it back. It's okay if you used it, but ask for the empty bottles back too, so that it won't be bad if Lili finds out when she comes. Just say that I used it myself."

"Mom, how about I buy you a set just like the one?"

"That's such a waste of money! They've just made a little money and they've already forgotten who they are? Lili won't be here for another month. Just let that female teacher use it; she can just bring an empty bottle. That person is really something, not wanting to discuss anything..."

Seeing that things were starting to go to extremes under Ms. Xu's deductions, Lin Lang was afraid that Ms. Xu would go out and spread rumors, so he quickly said, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. The things are in my room. I didn't give them to anyone."

"Oh, then it's normal that the girl didn't agree. You're just as stingy as your dad."

"????"

Just then, Lin Yuliang returned.

He glanced at the dishes on the table, then at the still-busy kitchen, and asked, "Are we celebrating the New Year early?"
