Chapter 653: Chapter 557: Super Girl (Please subscribe!)_1
Lin Jiaxue led a group of women around the villa, fully embodying the image of the lady of the house. Sometimes, it must be said, even the most introverted can become a different person when they are introducing their own belongings.
In the living room.
"Old Tang, take it easy these days. Don’t capsize the boat." Li Kai suddenly blurted out an inexplicable phrase.
"Capsize what boat?" Tang Qing asked, puzzled.
Li Kai gave Tang Qing a ’you-know-what-I-mean’ expression and said, "What boat? You and Wang Yan."
"Um... I’ll figure something out." Tang Qing understood Li Kai’s meaning - that he should end this relationship as soon as possible. Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue couldn’t be separated, and in a monogamous society, even if Tang Qing had some money, he couldn’t have two women.
This was only seen in novels. A woman’s jealousy is boundless, especially concerning men. Li Kai, however, had no idea about the past relationship between Tang Qing and Wang Yan, thinking that Wang Yan was just a woman secretly in love with Tang Qing.
Li Kai nodded and said, "Mmm, don’t drag it out too long. It’ll only hurt both of you."
"I got it," Tang Qing reluctantly agreed. If it were that easy to say, he wouldn’t have dragged it out this long. He could only pretend to know nothing and treat Wang Yan as a friend.
Li Kai, with shifty eyes, looked around and moved closer. He whispered mysteriously, "Old Tang, give me some advice. Do you think I can get my wife tonight?"
"How would I know that?" Tang Qing gave him an annoyed glance. You even have to ask if you can get your own wife, how have you the nerve to say it?
"Do you think I should get her drunk tonight?" Li Kai speculated with a thoughtful look on his face. His solemn and conflicted expression gave Tang Qing the illusion that he was serious.
"You beast," Tang Qing despised.
"Hehe, isn’t it because you’ve stimulated me? I can’t always sleep alone, can I?" Li Kai found himself a bit sleazy, but seeing others in pairs, his heart itched.
Tang Qing suddenly became serious, "You have to think it through. Don’t play with fire and get burnt. Understand her heart then take it further. If not, don’t touch her. Can you guarantee that you will definitely marry Chu Lan?"
"Of course, I will marry her," Li Kai assured without hesitation.
"No, you’re just hormonal. When you thought about getting her drunk and sleeping with her tonight, you knew it was simply a crush. There’s still a long way to go before love." Tang Qing spoke in earnest.
"Since when did you become a relationship expert?" Li Kai muttered to himself.
"I just hope you can really find someone you’ve thought deeply about and are willing to spend the rest of your life with." Tang Qing knew this was an unconventional thought. Young people should live like this; play when they should play, eat when they should eat, without considering any responsibilities.
In his previous life, he heard all sorts of modern theories that the process of a relationship is important, not the result; get her into bed first, and so on. But he never agreed with them. Times are changing, but this is no excuse to lose one’s moral compass.
Blaming everything on the times carries too much weight. It’s irresponsible.
In his previous life, Li Kai was quite the playboy, having slept with too many women. This life, as his friend, Tang Qing didn’t want him to go down the same path. He previously suggested him to be serious about Chu Lan, hoping he would settle down.
"Fine, I’ll wait a bit longer. We’ll talk about it once our relationship deepens." Li Kai was stunned by Tang Qing’s words. He wasn’t surprised that Tang Qing would say such a thing since Tang Qing already had a future marriage partner, Lin Jiaxue, while he was still in the dating phase.
"Mmm." Tang Qing grunted. Ultimately, it’s up to the person involved to think it through. Hopefully, Li Kai will treat this relationship earnestly.
After a while.
Lin Jiaxue finished showing them around the villa and they came to the living room. Dinner was almost ready.
They sat down at the table.
A few bites in, except for the three who had eaten before, Wang Yan and the others felt like they had discovered a new world.
"Sister Jiaxue, the chef at your house makes such delicious food. I’ve never eaten anything so tasty before." Wei Yiyi stuffed her mouth to the brim. She felt like she wasted so many years.
She prided herself as a foodie and a gourmet, but after eating this, what were those so-called tasty things she used to eat? Tasty, you must be joking. They couldn’t even come close to any dish here.
She was almost moved to tears.
Wang Yan and Chu Lan tried to maintain their composure and didn’t stuff their mouths like Wei Yiyi, but their eating speed betrayed them.
"If you like it, eat more," Lin Jiaxue said with a small smile.
"Mmm. I’m going to eat my fill today," Wei Yiyi nodded furiously. Coming for today’s meal was such a good choice. If she missed such deliciousness, oh my, Wei Yiyi didn’t dare to imagine how much regret she would have had in her life.
The others were also looking at Wei Yiyi with smiles.
"Wang Yan, do you have any career plans? Either starting a music career after school or debuting during college." Tang Qing gently sipped his fruit wine and asked.
Wang Yan put down her chopsticks, took a sip of the delicious fruit wine she had never tasted before, and laughed, "How is that possible? I’d be too old by the time I graduate, so I plan to participate in ’Super Girl’ next year. I’m just unsure if I will make it to the end."
"Is this your decision?" Tang Qing asked. ’Super Girl’? Such a familiar name, it should be the hottest talent show now, which has produced many big shots, even though there aren’t many who eventually top the music scene, the show still has good influence.
"It’s my mum. After she watched it, she encouraged me to participate. She aspires to become a star mum." Wang Yan said helplessly. When she learned that she was going down the path of music, her mum started to arrange various ways to fame, ultimately deciding on this show.
"But this does require operation, you can’t manage it all by yourself." Tang Qing thought for a moment and said. He did not fully understand the tricks in ’Super Girl’, but he had heard about them.
"I know, so my dad will establish a music company to package me up when it’s time. I believe as long as I have the talent, I will definitely succeed." Wang Yan confidently replied.
"That’s good. Running your own company is convenient. If you need help with votes in the future, I can help." Tang Qing laughed. With the command room, he could cheat silently, making his competitors doubt their lives.
"You’ll help? By hacking the votes?" Wang Yan asked in surprise.
"Well... more or less." Tang Qing admitted. There are many things he could do now, but other than hacking the votes, he dared not mention any of them to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan immediately shook her head and said, "No, I want to advance on the basis of my own abilities, not through such underhanded means."
"Alright then, I can only wish you success in advance." Tang Qing had no choice but to give up, but if she truly needed help, he would still do it and keep it a secret from Wang Yan. How could there be so many coincidences and luck in the world. If Wang Yan wanted to move forward, she would definitely face many challenges which he could only help with within his capabilities.
Even if ’Super Girl’ fails to make Wang Yan popular, Tang Qing had plenty of solutions, like buying a company for hype. It was all about money, which he had plenty of now. Of course, it all depended on Wang Yan’s wishes.
In the last life, Wang Yan gave up her dream of music for him. In this life, he was determined to help her achieve it. He owed her, so when he could pay them back, he should.
"Does what you said before still count?" After hesitating for a bit, Wang Yan looked up and asked.
"What did I say?" Tang Qing asked, confused.
"You said that if I became a celebrity one day, you’d give me an endorsement contract." Wang Yan gathered her courage and said.
Tang Qing thought it was something else, and laughed, "Of course it counts. As long as your performance in ’Super Girl’ isn’t too bad, why not give it to you after the existing endorsements of my company expire. Moreover, you haven’t made a big name for yourself, so it would be quite cheap."
"Tangtang, what endorsement contract?" Lin Jiaxue asked, not understanding what agreement the two had reached. Looking at Wang Yan, Lin Jiaxue unconsciously felt a little insecure.
But this feeling of insecurity only lasted a few seconds. Tang Qing was excellent, and he certainly had to attend various events in the future, which would attract many excellent and beautiful women. This was inevitable, so Lin Jiaxue quickly dismissed it from her mind.
"I said at the beginning of this year that if Wang Yan becomes a celebrity, she will endorse our company’s products, mainly because it’s cheap." Tang Qing gave Wang Yan an apologetic look. He owed Lin Jiaxue an explanation.
Wang Yan responded with an understanding smile, not angry at all. She was willing to endorse Tang Qing’s company products even if she didn’t get paid.
"I see." Lin Jiaxue understood. It was a good thing to save money for the company. She didn’t think much about it. Besides, Wang Yan was Tang Qing’s classmate and deskmate, and a good friend for many years, so what was the fuss about.
It wasn’t that Lin Jiaxue was really naive; she knew that once a woman becomes jealous, not to mention Tang Qing, even she would hate herself for being like that. She could foresee the result, so she chose to trust Tang Qing.
"Old Tang, how do you think my image is? Can I also endorse your company’s menswear? I won’t ask for a high endorsement fee, just a casual few thousand will do. I’m not picky." Li Kai hurriedly changed the topic.
"You? I might as well do it myself." Tang Qing looked disgusted.
"What’s wrong with me? Although I’m not very handsome, you guys have makeup artists, they could make me look handsome." Li Kai said with a giggly smile.
"You’d better endorse your family’s company. Don’t come and mess with mine."
"Stingy."
"It’s not entirely impossible, I can give you a cameo role, like a panda with a headpiece, or a clown or something."
"No, I want to be the lead, I want to show my face."
"I’m afraid you’ll ruin my brand image." 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"..."
The two of them started bickering like before, causing the girls to giggle. Soon, lunch ended amidst much laughter.
