After Li Linlin scolded for twenty minutes, Madam Qiu finally arrived under everyone’s expectation.

Li Linlin was enthusiastically singing a song she had specially put in for all the bad guys in the world, 《You Won’t Have a Good End》. Madam Qiu listened to a few lines then picked up the microphone to join in.

Nick: “……”

They didn’t call Madam Qiu to scold men along with Li Linlin.

When the song was done, Li Linlin realized that there was an extra person in the private room. She took a drunken glance but still recognized who it was. “Madam Qiu, why’re you here?”

Madam Qiu put down the microphone and crossed her arms. “I also want to ask why you came here? You even drank so much wine. If Chen Yiran knows—”

“Don’t mention him to me!” As soon as Madam Qiu mentioned Chen Yiran’s name, she was interrupted by Li Linlin. “I have severed all ties with him. From today on, I am no longer the former Li Linlin. I am Niohuru^[1]Niohuru Zhenhuan from 《Empresses in the Palace》-Linlin!”

“……” Madam Qiu was silent for two seconds then let out a light chuckle. “It turns out this is because of him. I heard that President Chen had a blind date?”

Li Linlin glanced at her in surprise. “How did you know?”

Madam Qiu said with a smile, “There are a lot of people in A City who are concerned about President Chen’s every move.”

Chen Yiran’s blind date was definitely not from an ordinary family, probably a union of two big financial groups. For such a big event, many people would naturally pay attention.

“Listen to Sister’s advice, men are no good, even a dog has more feelings than a man.”

A room full of men: “……”

They died repeatedly in this private room today.

Li Linlin remembered that Madam Qiu had a bad relationship with her husband, and that she had talked about divorce in the group chat before, so she asked curiously, “Madam Qiu, how are you and your husband doing? Is he still going to divorce you?”

Madam Qiu laughed and told her, “I told him about his inability to have children. He has no time to divorce me right now.”

Li Linlin’s eyes widened slightly, appearing impressed. “Madam Qiu, you’re, hic, awesome.”

Li Linlin hiccupped and there was a smell of alcohol on her body. Madam Qiu shook her head and told her, “Alright, let’s go back first. We can talk about everything after you’ve gotten a good sleep.”

With that, she went to help Li Linlin and wanted to take her away. However, Li Linlin refused. “No, I want to continue singing! Let’s have fun together!”

“……” Madam Qiu couldn’t pull Li Linlin up, so she turned to Ann on the side. “Help me carry her to the car.”

Ann froze and said, “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“What’s wrong with it?” Madam Qiu looked at Ann teased, “Are you planning to let met carry her? Or should I call the security guard?”

Ann’s eyebrows twitched slightly, however, he did picked Li Linlin up. Madam Qiu curled her lips and led them to where she parked her car.

Li Linlin was picked up by Ann, but she was still restless and kept shouting that she wanted to go back and sing. When they came out, she was still holding the microphone in her hand. She yelled at Ann word by word, “Put me down, I want to continue singing!”

“Okay, go home and sing.”

“No, I want little brothers to sing with me! I want lots and lots of little brothers!”

“……”

Manager Deng heard the commotion and hurried over. Seeing Li Linlin being held in Ann’s arms, he suddenly panicked. “What’s going on?”

He couldn’t afford to offend Li Linlin, this little ancestor. Not to mention that her father was Li Shen, just the way President Chen came last time, he knew that his relationship with her wasn’t ordinary!

Madam Qiu said leisurely, “It’s alright. I’ll take her back. If someone comes to look for her, just let them find me.”

The last time Chen Yiran came, Madam Qiu was also present, so when she said that, Manager Deng automatically understood she was talking about the former.

“Little Fatty, quick, tell this person to put me down!” Li Linlin yelled at Manager Deng using the microphone.

Manager Deng: “……”

He’s…… not that fat, right? 🙂

“Charge the microphone on my account. Let Linlin play.” Saying so, Madam Qui walked into the elevator. Ann held Li Linlin and followed in.

After the elevator door closed, Li Linlin’s voice finally faded away. Manager Deng wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that if this little ancestor came there a few more times, their place might really close!

Ann carried Li Linlin to Madam Qiu’s car before letting her down. Sitting on the chair, Li Linlin finally felt more at ease, however, she still held the microphone in her hand and spoke vaguely into it.

Ann helped her fasten her seat belt and stepped back from the car. “Madam Qiu, she’s now staying with her two friends at Yinwan. You can send her back there.”

Madam Qiu raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “She lives in the same residential building as you?”

“Yes.” Ann and the other’s house were rented out to them by President Luo, one of Madam Qiu’s good friends, and they often come to sing together.

Madam Qiu pondered about it, then told him, “I’d better take her back to my house first. It’s in the same villa area as hers so she can go straight home when she wakes up.”

Hearing her words, Ann nodded. “That’s also fine. There may not be anyone over at Yinwan right now.”

Madam Qiu looked at him and suddenly took a step forward. “You have a crush on Linlin?”

“……” Ann subconsciously took a step back, looking a bit embarrassed. “I’m a fan of hers.”

Madam Qiu laughed. “If you like her, then you like her. There’s no need to deny it. Let me tell you, she’s hurt by love right now. It’s a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If you like her, don’t waste time and pursue her.”

Ann pursed his lips and told her to take care before returning to the KTV.

Madam Qiu shrugged. She got into the car and asked the driver to drive away.

Li Linlin fell asleep in the car. She was so crazy at the KTV a moment ago, but now that she fell asleep, she was surprisingly peaceful. Madam Qiu put her in the guest room and Li Linlin didn’t wake up until it was dark.

Li Linlin felt dizzy and didn’t know where she was. She rubbed her head and carefully recalled what happened. She remembered running to the KTV, and then it seemed that Madam Qiu also came……

Could this be Madam Qiu’s home?

She opened the door after putting her shoes on, then looked into the hallway before heading downstairs.

Madam Qiu was sitting in the living room with a man in a suit standing on the side, looking as if he was reporting work. Seeing Li Linlin coming down, Madam Qiu raised her hand and the man stopped talking.

“Madam Qiu, so this is really your home.” Li Linlin walked over and stood there a little awkwardly. “I’m sorry for bothering you and making you go to the club to find me.”

“It’s fine, it’s no trouble at all.” Madam Qiu smiled at Li Linlin and asked her, “How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine, I just have a slight headache…… and I’m a little hungry.”

“Just in time. Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat first.” Madam Qiu took her to the dining room and asked the maid to serve dinner. Li Linlin had not eaten properly for a few days and finally had some appetite right now. She ate with gusto. “Madam Qiu, your cook is very skilled.”

Madam Qiu smiled, looked at her and said, “The fact that you can still eat means it’s not a big deal. Essentially, it doesn’t matter whether you have a man or not, but you have to have a career.”

Li Linlin had almost forgotten about the incident, but when Madam Qui said this, she remembered the scene in the restaurant again.

Madam Qiu sipped a spoonful of soup, then told her, “Do you feel hurt? Anyone who encounters such a situation will be. At this time, you have to keep yourself busy and work hard. Work is the cure for everything.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Really? Why do I feel like you’re fooling me?

“Believe me, men will let you down, but work won’t.” Madam Qiu put down the spoon in her hand and looked at Li Linlin. “After a while you’ll find that you’re not so sad anymore, and after all the hard work you’ve been doing, you can achieve remarkable results and earn a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.”

“……” Li Linlin thought seriously for a moment. “That seems to make sense.”

“Of course it makes sense, it’s based on my own experience.” Madam Qiu picked up the cutlery again and started eating. “But from how you look, Chen Yiran isn’t really going to marry the daughter of the Qi family, is he?”

Li Linlin’s movements paused for a moment, then curled her lips. “Maybe. He told me they might get married.”

“Get married?” Madam Qiu’s eyes moved. If Chen Yiran really married Qi Lei, it would definitely cause changes in the structure of A City’s business world. “Don’t think too much about it. Your career is currently on the rise. Focus your mind on it and you’ll be grateful to yourself in the future.”

Li Linlin had heard this kind of talk from her teachers many times when she was in school, but for some reason, now that it was spoken by Madam Qiu, she was inexplicably touched. “……Um!”

She had dinner at Madam Qiu’s house and even took a shower to wash off the smell of alcohol from her body before returning home. After arriving, she told Wu Hui and Chen Xi that she would sleep at home that night. They didn’t ask any questions, but Wu Hui specifically told her that 《A Meal in the Woods》 had officially started airing and that she could take a look at it.

Li Linlin was stunned. She was completely unaware of this matter. She checked Weibo and found that there were actually three hot searches about her on the list.

She wanted to be a salted fish in the show and the staff made it possible for her. They really gave her a salted fish character and edited many scenes of her slacking off. But at the end of the game, she was the one who found the real toy. This contrast was the effect the program team wanted.

It proved to be successful. Li Linlin’s performance in the variety show had gained the most attention. #LiLinlinExtremelyLucky#, #HumbleBragLin# and #IThinkI’mActuallyQuiteOrdinary# have all been on the hot search.

Li Linlin: “……”

How about she really pursued career? Because pursuing it…… was really too easy!!!

She sent a message to Wu Hui, asking her to prepare all the recent job offers she received. Li Linlin would look at them one by one tomorrow. She was suddenly so active that Wu Hui had trouble sleeping and eating. It felt like when the leader suddenly came to inspect the work.

When Li Linlin came over the next day, she really studied the documents Wu Hui carefully compiled. Wu Hui was still uneasy. “Linlin, what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting so abnormal?”

Li Linlin looked at the things in her hands without even lifting her head. “Wasn’t it you who kept telling me to work?”

“I did, but you never listen to me……”

“Now I think you’re right.” Li Linlin stood up and said with bravado, “Didn’t a guest in the variety show read my palm and said that I can make money, but it’s difficult to find a partner? I, Li Linlin, now declare that from today on, money will be my partner!”
