After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

And it happened to be Nephitian Entertainment, which was owned by Sirius and had a feud with the Lin Group!

"Aren't they focusing on overseas markets?" The maid showed a strange expression.

“Yes, but there are also artists signed in China…”

"They're just signing scraps, right? How could they possibly be interested in Jiang Qianxi?"

Old Mrs. Lin's face became a little gloomy, and she raised her hand slightly to interrupt the quarrel between the maid and Lin Huaizhi.

"First, tell me, who are the domestic artists that Nephitian has signed before?"

"They are all nameless people." The maid was familiar with all kinds of intelligence information. After a brief recollection, she blurted out, "A male singer who participated in a talent show and had no sense of existence. He was skinny and small and sang like a girl. A college student majoring in nursing in the Northeast who loved music. An unemployed vagrant who spoke poor Mandarin and rapped... Oh, and she inexplicably ran to Jiangnan and signed a contract with an amateur junior high school student named Dan. She didn't even receive any professional music training!"

"Junior high school student?"

"Yes, junior high school student."

This is all a mess...

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The operating style of this company is similar to that of jadeite gamblers, highlighting an unstable mental state, commonly known as random signing of people by lottery.

After asking for details, it turned out that they had signed Jiang Qianxi several months ago, and at that time Lin Yun had not even asked his family connections to help her contact a producer.

I'm afraid they met her by chance in a KTV, and thought she sang well so they persuaded her to sign her... After all, considering Jiang Qianxi's qualifications before releasing this single, the degree of ridiculousness of signing her was almost the same as those mentioned above.

"Just contact Naifetian directly and ask them to give Jiang Qianxi to Lin's Entertainment." Old Mrs. Lin looked nonchalant. An entertainment company that likes to win prizes will definitely not give up if they have a way to cash in on the prizes... Besides, they have no roots in the country, so even if they have Jiang Qianxi's contract, they may not be able to train her.

The entertainment industry doesn’t just look at talent!

Lin Huaizhi went out to call the person in charge of the relevant department of Lin’s Entertainment.

When he came back a few minutes later, Xu Jingyi was following him.

She was still wearing the familiar suit, skin-colored stockings, high heels, a seductive smile, and graceful demeanor.

Old Mrs. Lin rubbed her eyes to make sure it wasn’t an illusion caused by her presbyopia, and then she sighed, “What a rare guest…”

"Madam, I heard you were here, so I came here without saying hello. You won't blame me, will you?" Xu Jingyi held Grandma Lin's hand warmly, and seemed to be more spoiled than the granddaughters with the surname Lin.

The Lin family and the Xu family are old friends, and Xu Jingyi is the only child of Old Xu. She is definitely the heir to the Nantang newspaper industry. It can be said that she can represent Old Xu himself on many occasions.

Old Xu is very busy, dealing with all kinds of relationships, so he doesn't have time to visit the old lady... When a man has a daughter in his old age, he lets his daughter take on more responsibilities, and the more responsibilities she has, the higher her status. This is a very realistic world.

Xu Jingyi brought a souvenir, an emerald Pixiu with a patina of ancient texture, which was something that Old Lady Lin would like.

Even though she was still complaining about Xu Jingyi's bad things just now, her face was full of kindness when they met...Xu Jingyi is a little fox, and Old Lady Lin is also an old fox who knows human nature well.

After chatting for a while and talking about tea party, they inevitably talked about young people's lifelong events. Old Mrs. Lin suggested that Xu Jing go downstairs to meet the children.

"There are many talented people from other places here. You never know which one you'll like."

"That won't work. My father has promised me to choose from the boys in the Lin family. Why would I bother with those people?"

"Haha, Xiao Xu really keeps his promise. So..." Old Lady Lin grinned meaningfully, "Which of the men in the Lin family is the one that catches your eye? Can you come to a conclusion?"

"Eh?" Xu Jing tilted her head in confusion, "My attitude has always been very clear. I just like Lin Yun."

"..."

Are you serious, girl?!

Not to mention the Xu family, any family with a little bit of strength around Beicang would shake their heads when they mentioned Lin Yun... How could a girl like you, Xu Jingyi, who is so precocious and outstanding, be interested in Lin Yun?

Regardless of whether you really like her or not, isn't it cheap of you to express this repeatedly?

Old Mrs. Lin felt that something seemed to be wrong, but she couldn't figure out the reason. In short, it was very strange.

86. The Little Pig Shows Off Its Talent (4000 words)

"Old Madam, to be honest... one of the reasons I came to see you today is related to Lin Yun."

When Xu Jing said this, Mrs. Lin's expression became even more tense.

There is no doubt that this was just a polite remark. How could the girl be so concerned about other old ladies? To be honest, Xu Jingyi came here just for Lin Yun!

This is a bit exaggerated. Lin Yun is not a deity that fell from the sky. Is he worth all the trouble for Xu Jingyi?

Old Mrs. Lin knows Xu Jingyi's character very well. This child is not pursuing vulgar love.

Despite this, Old Lady Lin still asked calmly: "Tell me, what is the matter about Xiaoyun?"

"After our last blind date, I told him I was very satisfied, but he seemed to be very resistant to me... I think there must be some misunderstanding or prejudice. Anyway... I hope the old lady can help me and give me more opportunities to get along with Xiaoyun."

"for example?"

"The cruise at the end of the year, including New Year's Eve, will take about four to five days. It won't interfere with the school's arrangements, and it will also be convenient for Xiaoyun and I to spend more time together and get to know each other." Xu Jingyi grabbed Mrs. Lin's arm and shook it at the right time, "Please help me, Xiaoyun listens to you the most, old lady~"

Old Mrs. Lin smiled helplessly and shook her head, pondering the hidden meaning of Xu Jing's behavior.

After thinking about it over and over again, I still couldn't figure it out, so I decided to go along with her wishes and watch more of this little girl's "performance", hoping that she would reveal more of her flaws.

At that time, send the right-hand man Lin Huaizhi to monitor Xu Jingyi's actions.

As for Jiang Qianxi... since Xu Jingyi is so determined, let's put it aside for now. She might just be a short-lived little star, so there's no need to rush to use up Lin Yun.

……

In a box on the second floor.

The staff of the foundation looked at each other with dry mouths, revealing helpless expressions.

This guy Lin Xiangling is...too stubborn.

No matter how much we persuaded him, he refused to sign the contract.

Logically speaking, how could a high school girl, who loves to study, be so vigilant?

In the end, the person in charge was still unwilling to give up and tried to put on a warm smile: "Student Lin Xiangling, I think you are still not in a hurry to make a decision. Go back and think about it carefully. We can talk about it another day..."

"I've already decided." Lin Xiangling interrupted, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't plan to accept this form of funding... The scholarship and the money I earn from working part-time are enough."

With a firm tone and a resolute expression, she placed the contract given to her by Lin Huaizhi on the table with both hands, bowed deeply to the uncles and aunts, and then walked out of the room without looking back. Her steps carried the unique cuteness of Ju.Ru.Luo.Li, but she was not at all timid.

A young male waiter carrying a tray happened to pass by the door. He was startled by Lin Xiangling and looked at Lin Xiangling's profile in surprise, his eyes flickering.

The head of the foundation cast a helpless look to the side, where was the teacher who interviewed Lin Xiangling for the transfer student exam.

"Well, it's hard to report to the higher-ups today."

"Hiss..." The teacher sucked his teeth in confusion, "This child has grown up incredibly fast... When I first met him, he was still an ignorant country boy. In just over two months, his temperament has changed so much, and the way he treats people has also become more sharp."

"Teacher, what you mean is that Lin Xiangling is so talented that we have to use additional resources to win her over?"

"No, I mean, she should have been advised by someone."

As you teach for more years and see more young people, your vision will become deeper and sharper.

School education is not omnipotent. Is it just because Delin Middle School is so good that it has cultivated so many outstanding talents?

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Delin only provides a platform and plays a catalytic role, and more than half of the rest comes from family education.

Families with high economic and social status can naturally give their children broader knowledge.

Lin Xiangling's family obviously cannot be relied upon, otherwise she would not have been chosen by the foundation... This is the first time in many years that a recipient of funding that the foundation is determined to win has refused to sign the contract.

……

Jiang Qianxi waited for a long time over there and waited for all three of them to come back.

There was no major incident afterwards and the tea party went smoothly. Yu Sheng even made some arrogant remarks like “I thought Dr. Lin would do something dirty, but this is it?”

Not to mention Dr. Lin himself, his parents or academicians must have wanted to use dirty tricks subjectively, but unfortunately their arms are not long enough to reach abroad... Sirius' venture capital department wants to cultivate Yu Sheng, and Yu Sheng himself is relatively indifferent to scientific research resources. This kind of person is a little invincible.

Lin Yun told Jiang Qianxi that if she encountered similar situations in the future, she should just mention his name and ask the other party to find the agent.

"Ayun... you are so reliable." Jiang Qianxi looked very touched. "You helped me to bear so much. What if those people make things difficult for you?"

"Fortunately, they can't do anything to me. Anyway, I'm not busy at ordinary times. It's quite interesting to bicker with the big brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry."

Jiang Qianxi was happily rubbing against Lin Yun. Yu Sheng couldn't help curling her lips when seeing this. Here we go again. Didn't we agree long ago that Ayun would be the agent before finding a suitable candidate? Even Yu Sheng, who didn't care much about the entertainment industry, understood what kind of tedious things an agent needs to deal with... Qianxi really knows how to act like a spoiled child. She wouldn't let go of any opportunity.

Yu Sheng didn't think Jiang Qianxi was a green tea bitch, because sometimes she would act coquettishly towards her and she would be very happy. However, seeing the sticky scene between Jiang Qianxi and Lin Yun, Yu Sheng felt more and more depressed. Really, it had always been this way of getting along, and Yu Sheng had just secretly had some fun with Lin Yun not long ago. Logically, there shouldn't be such obvious emotional fluctuations.

She felt that there was something wrong with her mentality.

Lin Xiangling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, watched the three people playing through the middle rearview mirror. At this moment, she no longer envied the close relationship between the two childhood sweethearts and Lin Yun as she did when they first met. Lin Xiangling felt that sometimes the closer the distance was not necessarily better. Now if God gave her a chance to become Lin Yun's childhood sweetheart, she would not be happy about it.

Once you become a childhood sweetheart, it will be inconvenient to be a wife.

Lin Xiangling has a strong understanding of everything in the world. After observing for so long, she can certainly see how pure Lin Yun's thoughts are towards his two childhood sweethearts... But it is a little different when he is alone with her. She feels that if she works hard, there will be great hope over time.

After all, she is a girl who dares to pursue beauty, and Lin Yun, in particular, is a person who can easily enhance a girl's confidence.

The black limousine made a circle and dropped Lin Xiangling off near the urban village, and the three said goodbye to her.

There is a vegetable market at the entrance of the village. Lin Xiangling bought a bag of discounted green leafy vegetables for only a few cents, and also bought a small piece of bacon and two taels of fresh noodles.

At the tea party, Lin Xiangling couldn't help but eat a lot. She had a good appetite and thought the snacks were delicious. But unfortunately, the girls who were dressed up very gorgeously didn't eat much, which made her look a little different.

But she still ate it. Brother Lin Yun had taught her that she should eat when she wanted to and not care too much about what others thought.

However, if you study until late at night, you will feel hungry, so Lin Xiangling bought some ingredients to make noodles, which can be used for two meals, one midnight snack and the other breakfast for tomorrow.

The streets of the urban village are still narrow, and filled with sewage that seems to never disappear, but when walking on them, one is no longer bothered by the bad environment.

Chen Qila, my older sister who lives with me and sleeps during the day and goes out at night, had just woken up and was brushing her teeth with sleepy eyes and staggering.

"Sister Qila."

"Ouch... drink tui~" Chen Qila spit out the mouthwash, wiped her hands, and reached out to rub Lin Xiangling's face. The little girl's face was chubby and felt very good.

To be honest, if she had a sister like Lin Xiangling, she would definitely consider her sister's life, inherit her grandfather's clinic, make money, and live a normal life... Chen Qila smiled helplessly and said with concern: "Did everything go well today?"

"Well, it went pretty smoothly. The staff of the foundation didn't make things difficult for me, and no one at the tea party made things difficult for me either." Lin Xiangling paused, "It was better than I thought."

"Is that so... I thought it would be like in the novels, with the second male lead coming to court you, or the vicious female supporting role with a flat nose and thin lips trying to make a fool of you, or mocking you for having more clothes than her shoes cost, or something like that..."

"Sister Qila, there is definitely no such thing. It's too exaggerated."

Chen Qila calls herself an unemployed vagrant who is engaged in music. She is somewhat romantic. She often encourages Lin Xiangling, saying that she may be the Cinderella heroine in a romance story, and her current difficulties are just paving the way for her future rise.

Lin Xiangling feels that her world is just enough with Lin Yun, and doesn’t need any other male protagonist.

Instead of doing my homework immediately, I spent some time chatting with Chen Qila and sharing interesting experiences at the tea party.

Chen Qila discovered that the child had been talking a lot more recently. Just as cats and dogs only store useless fat when their lives are good, people only like to chat when their circumstances are good.

Lin Xiangling has been having a pretty good time lately, and Chen Qila hopes that her life will continue to be this smooth, she deserves it.

However, less than ten minutes after Chen Qila made this wish for her, Lin Xiangling received a phone call and her face suddenly darkened.

It seemed like her father always had a lot of cell phone numbers to contact her.

His voice was calmer than usual, and a little furtive.

"My daughter, Daddy is really short of money recently, please help me..."

Lin Xiangling took a deep breath, ran to the balcony and closed the door, then frowned and scolded: "I've already told you, I won't give you money. What if I give it to you? You'll just gamble it away!"

"...Don't be so heartless. After all, I have raised you for so many years. Let's discuss it...I don't ask you to give me too much, a few thousand or a few hundred will do..."

This father is such a great guy!

It's easy to guess that he must have been borrowing money everywhere, but no one was willing to lend him money, so he came to his daughter to make a scene.

In fact, Lin Xiangling had been a little hesitant in her heart before - if she signed a contract with the Lin Group's foundation and got their money, she would no longer be afraid of her father's harassment. If he wanted money, she could just give it to him!

After talking with Lin Yun, Lin Xiangling quickly abandoned this idea.

Of course, she did not tell Lin Yun about the difficulties at home, but just hearing Lin Yun's expectations for her strengthened Lin Xiangling's belief.

My father is a rotten person. Giving him money is like cutting flesh to feed the tiger. Maybe it can bring peace for a while, but in the long run, it is definitely not a good idea.

That’s right… Lin Xiangling now tends to look at problems from a long-term perspective, which is a rare quality for a child from a poor family.

But she has Lin Yun, and she has the confidence to look at the long term.

So Lin Xiangling's eyes condensed and she said coldly:

"Lin Jian, I have tolerated you for a long time because you didn't starve me to death when I was a child, but I hope you won't be so arrogant.

Life in the second year of high school is very busy. As a parent, you should be considerate and not make things difficult for your daughter...

I am capable of living independently outside. I don’t need your support or care. We just need to live in peace and happiness. Is that difficult?

If you harass me again for money, I will find a way to report your despicable behavior, so you'd better take care of yourself!"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. Apparently, Lin Jian, who had lived in a daze for many years, could never have imagined that one day his daughter, who was so cowardly from head to toe, would speak to him in such a sharp tone!
