For 365 days of the year, Xinghua Avenue seems to be stuck in traffic for 366 days.

A shiny Bentley was in a long line, moving forward at a snail’s pace. A man in a suit and leather shoes in the back seat looked at the dense traffic outside and joked to Chen Yiran next to him. “President Chen, it seems that no matter how expensive the car is, it’s useless, as cars will be blocked just the same.”

Chen Yiran, who was checking reports on the tablet, ignored him.

Fu Angsi felt bored and stared out the car window again. “Look, the promotional video for our amusement park is being played.”

Chen Yiran raised his head and glanced out the window. On the giant screen outside Xingguang Department Store, the promotional video was indeed playing. Fu Angsi looked at the girl holding an oversized stuffed teddy bear on the screen and said to Chen Yiran, “Li Linlin’s promotional video was shot really well. She’s very expressive. This video is particularly popular on the Internet.”

While he was talking, Li Linlin, who was wearing a pink dress just now, changed into a JK^[1]high school girl uniform. Her pink hair that was tied into twin ponytails had now become twin braids. With a lollipop in her mouth and some freckles deliberately painted on her face, she sat leaning on the railing outside the carousel, looking down at the camera.

“I heard from the project team that Li Linlin’s set of photocards that came with the pre-sale tickets was sold out as soon as it went on sale. Now scalpers have made the set of postcards extremely expensive.” Fu Angsi’s fingertips gently tapped his knees. “Is the little girl interested in you? I heard that she didn’t even ask for money in the beginning.”

Chen Yiran frowned slightly and glanced at Fu Angsi beside him. “Don’t talk nonsense. Linlin is my sister.”

“Oh—” Fu Angsen’s tone sounded full of meaning and he even started to sing at the end, “How many close sisters are you having? Why is every sister married to tears~^[2]《How Many Close Sisters Are You Having》 by Mai Meng”

“……” Chen Yiran hadn’t heard such a renaissance song in a long time. “Enough. Linlin is Xixi’s best friend. I watched them grow up. What’s the difference between her and my sister?”

“All right.” Fu Angsi responded, then looked at Li Linlin on the giant screen again. “I quite like her. Since you only regard her as your sister, then I—”

“You dare?” Before Fu Angsi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Yiran. “Fu Angsi, I’m warning you. You can play outside like you usually do, but this idea of hitting on Linlin, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“……” Fu Angsi looked at the other party’s cold handsome face and his mouth couldn’t help but twitch. “President Chen, I think you have misunderstood me. When did I play outside?”

Chen Yiran only sneered and did not answer him, as if he didn’t say anything.

Fu Angsi pursed his lips and spoke again, “Do you really think of her as your sister? You even care about her love life?”

“Linlin is still young. What love life are you talking about?”

“She’s in her third year, right? She’s not that young anymore. University students fall in love all the time, okay?” He really wanted to tell President Chen to open his eyes and see the world.

Chen Yiran said, “I don’t care about others. Linlin’s only focus is on her studies and won’t be dating.”

Li Linlin’s academic performance had been very good since she’s a child. Her grades when she got admitted to Imperial University were also the first in the whole department. How can such an outstanding Li Linlin have time for love?

Fu Angsi: “……”

He felt that Chen Yiran wasn’t an older brother, he’s clearly an old father.

Li Linlin’s biological father was the international superstar Li Shen. No matter how awesome Chen Yiran was, this matter has nothing to do with him.

Heh.

The amusement park’s promotional video on the giant screen ended, but there was still no end to the traffic jam. Fu Angsi took out his phone and casually scrolled through Weibo. He found video clips of that night’s charity gala.

“A lot of celebrities have arrived and are being interviewed in front of the red carpet.” Fu Angsi said casually. Chen Yiran didn’t care much and continued to look down at the reports.

After going through the most congested section of the road, the drive finally became smoother. Fu Angsi was holding his mobile phone on the side and said with great interest, “Li Linlin is also there tonight.”

As he said this, he turned up the volume of his mobile phone. The voice of the media reporter suddenly sounded in the enclosed space, “Linlin, your dress tonight is so beautiful. Is your theme mermaid princess?”

“Yes, yes.” Li Linlin smiled in front of the camera like a real princess. “This is a customized work Xixi made for me.”

Chen Xi was the daughter of the well-known ABA host, Chen Zui, and she could be regarded as half a second-generation celebrity. In addition, she often appeared in Li Linlin’s mouth so the media all know her.

A reporter asked, “Is Chen Xi also attending tonight’s charity gala?”

“Xixi isn’t coming.” But her brother, Chen Yiran, is.

The smile on Li Linlin’s face became sweeter as she thought of this.

The cameraman was so excited that he almost pointed the camera directly at her face.

“Linlin, you recently established a studio and I heard that there are only two people right now. Do you plan to hire more people?”

Li Linlin said, “There is currently no plan to hire people, but I would like to fire someone.”

The reporters laughed and one of them questioned, “Who do you want to fire?”

Li Linlin answered, “Of course, Wu Hui’er!”

“As I remember, Wu Hui is your manager, right?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have any dissatisfaction with her work?” The reporter asked in a very gossipy tone. Nowadays, the status of artists has improved, and there were many who open their own studios and become bosses, and their managers have become the ones who work for them. From time to time, disputes between artists and managers would break out online. Could it be that the relationship between Li Linlin and her manager was also strained? If this was really the case, tonight’s topic would explode again.

Li Linlin held a microphone in her hand and the cameras kept flashing in front of her eyes. She looked at the reporter who was asking the question, and spoke as if she was exposing some dark material, “You guys don’t know, Wu Hui’er, this person, before I came out today, I only ate one sesame ball and two small biscuits, and drank two mouthfuls of water, but she kept shouting next to me, ‘No more, no more, you’ve eaten too much!’. However, she herself ate chicken legs and can even finish two in one breath!”

The reporters at the scene once again laughed, and Chen Yiran in the car inadvertently curled his lips.

Fu Angsi watched the video of Li Linlin’s interview and also criticized Wu Hui, “This manager must really be fired, look at the starving child.”

Chen Yiran declined to comment and lowered his head to get back to the reports.

On the side, Fu Angsi couldn’t figure it out. Was this kind of interview interesting? More so than the glamorous actresses at the gala?

———

At the event, Li Linlin walked on the red carpet after accepting interviews. The crystals and sequins on Li Linlin’s dress appeared even more dazzling under the lights. The photographers snapped pictures of her once again, afraid of missing the stunning moment. Wu Hui also hired a photography team to follow Li Linlin and touch up the photos for her.

After receiving the baptism of the spotlight, Li Linlin was guided by the emcee to sit down in her seat. Strictly speaking, she wasn’t an actress, let alone a senior member of the entertainment industry. However, with her father’s superstar aura surrounding her, the organizer still gave her a front row center position.

The chairs were all labelled with the names of the guests and the seats were arranged early in the morning. There were various things to pay attention to and everyone couldn’t just sit randomly. Li Linlin curiously glanced at the empty chair on her right. Goodness, it was actually Movie Queen Lu Siyu’s seat.

The organizers actually arranged her next to the movie queen. They’re giving her too much credit.

“Hello, Little Sister Linlin.” Someone has arrived at Li Linlin’s left side and politely greeted Li Linlin after sitting down. Li Linlin turned her head to look at him. The other person was a middle-aged man wearing a high-end custom-made suit, and his whole person permeated a ‘rich’ air. Li Linlin glanced at the name on his chair. It seemed he was someone from Huanyu Pictures.

“Hello, President Yu.” Although Li Linlin didn’t know him, she was right to address him as such.

“Hello, hello.” President Yu sat next to her and smiled as he told her, “Your outfit tonight is really eye-catching.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

“Let’s take a picture together.”

“Okay.”

Li Linlin took a picture with him and President Yu was quick on the uptake. “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to find someone to P^[3]photoshop it before posting online.”

Li Linlin laughed along with him. The other party took back his phone and gave her a business card. “I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.”

Li Linlin glanced down, and sure enough, he was indeed from Huanyu Pictures.

Huanyu Pictures was currently the largest film and television company in the country. It had strong financial resources, produced high-quality products, and had countless famous artists. Everyone in the industry wanted to cooperate with Huanyu. Good actors and actresses could reach a higher level and popular idols could also transition smoothly under their management.

The organizers must really love her. She had the movie queen on her right and the boss of Universal Pictures on her left.

Li Linlin put the business card into her handbag and took out her mobile phone. “President Yu, I don’t have a business card, so how about we add each other on WeChat?”

“Sure.” President Yu took out his phone again and added her WeChat account. “Actually, I’m your father’s fan.”

“Really?”

The two were chatting when there was a sudden noise at the venue. Li Linlin looked up and saw Lu Siyu coming.

Lu Siyu was wearing a long red dress tonight, which was very eye-catching. Her long black hair was curled into big waves and placed in front of her body. She gave off the style of a Hong Kong star in the eighties. There was a high slit on the side of her skirt and Lu Siyu’s proud long legs were peaking underneath.

She didn’t enter alone. She was holding onto a man’s arm.

Lu Siyu was originally 1.7 meters tall, and tonight she was wearing a pair of black high heels, but the man next to her was still taller than her. The man was wearing a suit and tie and has a straight posture. There was no unnecessary expression on his angular face, but it couldn’t prevent the noble aura he’s exuding.

Flashing lights from cameras flickered crazily at this moment. A pairing of a handsome man and a beautiful woman never fails to attract people’s attention.

But why was that handsome man her Brother Yiran?!

Li Linlin immediately ate a ton of lemon. The movie queen’s amazing ah. She’s holding onto Li Linlin’s future boyfriend’s arm!

Lu Siyu and Chen Yiran’s seats were right next to Li Linlin. Li Linlin didn’t notice earlier that there’s a seat next to Lu Siyu and it has Chen Yiran’s name clearly written on it.

Chen Yiran didn’t expect to sit in the same table with Li Linlin and was slightly surprised when he saw her. Before he could speak, President Yu, who was just chatting with Li Linlin, stood up. Directly bypassing the movie queen, he stretched out his hand to Chen Yiran. “President Chen, long time no see.”

“Hello, President Yu.” Chen Yiran also extended his hand and shake hands with the other party.

When President Yu faced Chen Yiran, his attitude was much more attentive than when he was facing Li Linlin. “It’s really not easy to meet President Chen.”

“President Yu is too serious. It’s all just running around for business.”

Lu Siyu stood in the middle of them and chuckled. “President Yu, it seems that I am not as charming as President Chen in your eyes. I’ve been standing here for so long and it’s as if you can’t see me.”

President Yu smiled and apologized, “My fault, my fault. Hello, Miss Lu. You’re so beautiful today.”

Lu Siyu also smiled and flipped her hair back. “That’s more like it.”

Li Linlin, who was sitting in her seat, looked extremely well-behaved among a bunch of social people.

Chen Yiran looked down at Li Linlin on her seat and called out to her, “Linlin.”
