My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Cao Lian chimed in, "Suitability isn't important; having more resources is the most important thing. Having resources means you'll have more opportunities to appear in public, which will help you develop better in the entertainment industry, understand?"

Lin Mo knew that the two were thinking of him, so he hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "Principal, Director Cao, Shuangmu Entertainment has plenty of resources."

Cao Lian scoffed, "What resources could a small company I've never even heard of have?"

Ke Renyi remained silent, waiting for Lin Mo's explanation.

Lin Mo chuckled softly, “Shuangmu Entertainment is a newly registered entertainment company, so Director Cao has naturally never heard of it, but that doesn’t mean Shuangmu Entertainment lacks resources.”

Cao Lian was not satisfied with Lin Mo's explanation. "What resources could a newly registered company possibly have?"

"With money, you have resources."

"Registering a shell entertainment company only requires a few million yuan. Tell me the truth, how much did Shuangmu Entertainment pay you when you signed with An Youyu?"

Cao Lian asked this question not for any other reason than to confirm whether Lin Mo and An Youyu had been scammed by Shuangmu Entertainment.

Lin Mo understood Cao Lian's meaning and answered truthfully, "Not a single penny."

Upon hearing this, Cao Lian slammed his hand on the sofa. "I knew it!"

"Lin Mo, you and An Youyu have definitely been ripped off by Shuangmu Entertainment. With the number of followers on your social media accounts, your signing fees should be at least hundreds of millions!"

Ke Renyi didn't expect that Lin Mo and An Youyu would be short of money after signing with Shuangmu Entertainment. Without saying a word, he took out his phone from his pocket.

Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly asked, "Principal, what are you doing with your phone?"

"What else can you do?"

Ke Renyi glared at Lin Mo with annoyance. "Of course I'll call Xiaoyou. I'm calling her to the school now to discuss the breach of contract penalty."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but complain, "Look at you, you're usually so shrewd, how come you're so muddle-headed about this? If I had known this would happen, I should have advised you and An to sign with Xiaoyou's entertainment company back then. At least Xiaoyou wouldn't treat you badly when it comes to money."

"cough--"

Lin Mo hurriedly walked around the coffee table and sat down next to Ke Renyi, then spoke up to stop him, saying, "Principal, the actual situation is not as you see it; there are hidden details."

Ke Renyi was taken aback. "What secret could possibly allow you and An Ya to sign with Shuangmu Entertainment without paying a single penny?"

Cao Lian also showed a look of curiosity.

Meeting their gazes, Lin Mo smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll lay my cards on the table. This Shuangmu Entertainment is owned by my family."

"?"

"?"

Ke Renyi and Cao Lian were both completely dumbfounded.

After a few seconds of silence, Cao Lian finally reacted, his eyes filled with shock. "What?"

Lin Mo spread his hands and nodded to confirm, "Why is Shuangmu Entertainment called Shuangmu? What character is formed by combining two 'mu' characters?"

"Forest?"

Ke Renyi suddenly realized, "No wonder, I was wondering why you were so confused this time. It turns out Shuangmu Entertainment is owned by your family. That explains it."

Cao Lian frowned deeply. "Lin Mo, are you saying that your family started an entertainment company for you so you could make it in the entertainment industry?"

"Correct."

Lin Mo nodded first, then shook his head, "It's not quite accurate to say it's for me. It should be said that it's for me and Xiaoyuer."

After receiving confirmation from Lin Mo, Cao Lian frowned even more. "I still don't quite understand. Even if you want to be free from constraints, you'll lose resources. I know your family is rich, but how much money is your family willing to spend on resources for you and An Youyu?"

Ke Renyi nodded slightly, he had the same doubt in his heart. "Director Cao's analysis is correct. There are only two ways to obtain resources in the entertainment industry: either you throw money at them or you exchange resources for resources."

"Your Shuangmu Entertainment has just been established and probably doesn't have many resources. There's only one way to get resources for you and An Yatou: throw money at it."

"But if you only spend money to acquire resources in the entertainment industry without connections, the amount will be astronomical."

"This matter was originally a secret, but since the principal and Director Cao have asked, it's not unreasonable for me to reveal some information to you."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Ke Renyi and Cao Lian both perked up their ears.

Lin Mo smirked, "Tsk, how should I put it? My family... does have a bit of money, and as for connections... we do have those too."

After saying all that, even he felt that what he said was too ambiguous, so after thinking it over, he added, "In a while, Shuangmu Entertainment will create an intellectual variety show for me and Xiaoyuer."

"Hmm... the estimated cost is around one billion."

Ke Renyi: "..."

Cao Lian: "..."

A billion yuan to create a variety show?

At that moment, the two couldn't help but wonder if they were hallucinating.

One billion?

Variety shows?

Logically, these two phrases shouldn't be related, but Lin Mo has forcibly merged them together.

Cao Lian might not be aware of the full story, but Ke Renyi was well aware of how outrageous Lin Mo's words were. After all, he had a daughter who owned an entertainment company, and she often nagged him about things related to the entertainment industry.

If I remember correctly, the highest-rated variety show in China only cost around 200 million yuan, and even then, it was still heavily criticized by my daughter.

To say that spending so much money on a variety show is completely insane!

But now...

Lin Mo said that Shuangmu Entertainment was going to spend 1 billion to create a variety show for him and An Youyu, which was five times more than 200 million.

This is absolutely outrageous! It's like an outrageous grandma opening a door for something outrageous!

"A billion?"

Ke Renyi gasped. "Kid, you're not kidding, are you?"

"joke?"

Lin Mo shook his head, his expression extremely serious. "Principal, although I like to joke around, I would never joke about something like this with you. Just keep this news to yourselves and try not to spread it."

Cao Lian swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Ten billion...aren't your family members afraid of losing money?"

"Compensate?"

Lin Mo shrugged indifferently, "So what if we have to pay? My family can afford it. Director Cao, don't worry."

Cao Lian: "..."

Grass!

Is this what Lin Mo meant by having a little money?

He clutched his chest, looking at Ke Renyi with a bitter expression. "Principal, I wasn't wrong, was I? There are differences between people. As for the tea, I'll try to be reborn into a better family in my next life, and then I'll send it to you again."

Recalling his earlier confusion and worry, Cao Lian, after figuring everything out, only wanted to say four words.

I am the Joker!

Chapter 738 Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, Retreat is the Best!

"you can go now!"

Ke Renyi was also very frustrated. If he hadn't asked Lin Mo, he would never have imagined it would be like this, no matter how hard he tried.

He was even worried about this kid...

What are you worried about!

Being able to speak directly with the Elders Council so easily, does that mean you have some influence?

Starting an entertainment company and spending a billion to create a variety show tailored to his needs—is that what you call having a little money?

This kid...

That's complete nonsense!

Lin Mo, who was about to drink tea, blinked in confusion when he heard Ke Renyi's words to send him away. "Principal, everything I just said is true. I was not joking."

"I know."

"Then why are you kicking me out?"

"I see you're unhappy!"

"..."

This conversation really left Lin Mo speechless.

His lips twitched, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, then tentatively asked, "What do you find objectionable about me? Can't a student just change?"

After looking Lin Mo up and down, Ke Renyi said slowly, "I don't like you."

Lin Mo: "..."

have to.

This topic is impossible to discuss.

He stood up without hesitation and said, "The students will not disturb the principal and Director Cao's work discussion any longer. Goodbye."

"Close the door."

Lin Mo had only taken a couple of steps when he heard a sound behind him, causing him to stumble and start mentally complaining.

He was so honest, but Ke Renyi didn't give him a kind look at all and was so cold, which was speechless.

Closing the door, Lin Mo pointed at the office door and muttered under his breath, "So your name is Ke Renyi, huh? What's with the attitude? If it weren't for your age, I would definitely..."

Before he could finish his harsh words, the office door suddenly opened.

Ke Renyi's narrowed eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he stared menacingly at Lin Mo, who had abruptly stopped speaking. "Speak up, why did you stop? If it weren't for my age, what would you have done to me?"

"..."

At this moment, Lin Mo's expression was incredibly interesting.

Wait, why did this person follow us out?

"Principal, what did you say? The student doesn't understand."

Lin Mo said without changing his expression, "The student didn't say anything just now. Did you not sleep well last night and are you hallucinating?"
