Chen Yiran’s words made Li Linlin feel inexplicably shy and her heartbeat seemed to be beating a little faster than before.

After three days of separation, Chen Yiran had become impressive. He was now someone who could say such flirtatious words.

Li Linlin quickly stabilized her expression and snorted disdainfully. “It’s all talk. Won’t that be because the benefits aren’t enough?”

Chen Yiran said, “Right, rather than talk, I’m a person who prefers to do things directly.”

“Do things?” Li Linlin immediately looked at him warily. “What do you want to do?”

Chen Yiran: “……”

He looked at Li Linlin for a few seconds and then the corners of his lips curled up in a playful way. “What do you want to do? I can cooperate with you.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Bah!

“I’ll leave now since we’ve clarified the matter.” Li Linlin picked up her bag and walked out quickly.

Chen Yiran looked at her from behind. “Why don’t we have a meal together?”

“Not eating!” After saying these two words, the door of the president’s office was slammed shut by her. Chen Yiran sat where he was, looked at the door in silence for a while, and then laughed softly.

After Li Linlin left Chen Yiran’s company, she was ready to go home and continue studying the script. On the way, she received a call from an unknown number.

Li Linlin thought back for a moment. She had no express delivery to receive recently. Could it be some kind of sales call?

Thinking of this, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the other party was quite persistent. After she hung up, they called again.

“Ho.” Li Linlin’s competitiveness was ignited by the other party and she once again pressed the reject button.

The other party called for the third time.

“……” Li Linlin thought that the other party really wanted to sell to her. She answered the phone to fulfil the other side. “Hello, who’s this?”

A young man’s voice came from the receiver, “Is this Li Linlin? This is Qi Hao!”

“Qi Hao?” Li Linlin searched for this name in her mind. It sounded familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she heard it. “I’m sorry, but who are you?”

“……” The other party was silent for a second, then as if he had been insulted, he shouted loudly from the other end of the phone, “I’m the one who sold you the building block figure! Qi Lei’s younger brother, the person who almost became Chen Yiran’s brother-in-law!”

Li Linlin: “……”

“Alright, alright, I remembered now, you don’t need to speak so loudly.” Li Linlin subconsciously pulled the phone away from her ears. “My memory isn’t voice-activated.”

Qi Hao: “……”

Little Sister Linlin’s quite humorous. 🙂

“How did you get my number?” Li Linlin was a bit surprised. When she bought the building block figure, she wasn’t the one who contacted him online and they didn’t exchange numbers with each other either. Moreover, she also put on a disguise at that time and Qi Hao clearly didn’t recognize her then.

Qi Hao said, “Heh, do you think your phone number is some kind of state secret? I got it after asking a few friends!”

“……” Was this the legendary saying that anyone could be found through six people? “What then? Can you tell me the friend who gave you my number? I’m gonna block them.”

Qi Hao: “……”

“That’s not why I called you! Can you listen to what I have to say first? Stop asking too many questions!” Qi Hao exploded on the other end of the phone.

Li Linlin blinked as she held up the phone. “……Oh.”

She actually wanted to ask how he recognized her, but seeing how fragile his mind was, she decided not to ask.

“I want to buy back the building block figure I sold you.” Qi Hao said straight to the point.

Li Linlin was taken aback for a moment and asked him, “Why?”

“You have the nerve to ask why?” At the mention of this, the flammable and explosive student Qi Hao was about to explode again. “I sold it to you just to humiliate Chen Yiran! But you actually fell in love with him! The building block figure is now in his hands! Did you two conspire to act a show in front of me?!”

“……That-, calm down first.” Li Linlin spoke out to appease him. “It’s easy for your blood vessels to burst if you continue like this.”

Qi Hao: “……”

“I’ll go over the questions and answer them one by one.” Li Linlin went over his questions and among the series of things he said, she first denied the last one. “I definitely didn’t collude with him. I didn’t even have an idea that he would be there!”

“So he pursued you in order to get the building block figure? That’s even more abominable!”

Li Linlin: “……”

Was that so?

“No, the building block figure is still with me, I didn’t give it to him.” Li Linlin added, “After all, people in our circle keep our word.”

Qi Hao: “……”

“Anyway, I don’t trust you anymore. I want to buy the building block figure back.”

Li Linlin paused, then asked him, “Do you have money? I remember you said that your father had cut off your allowance, otherwise you won’t be reduced to selling toys.”

“……Isn’t it just two hundred thousand? This dad has it!”

“You’ll sell another toy?”

“……Mind your own business!” Qi-Manic-Hao interrupted her. “Anyway, I will give you the money!”

Li Linlin asked him, “Can you really come up with two hundred thousand?”

“Don’t worry, I can get the money together by today!”

“Oh――” Li Linlin nodded thoughtfully. “Then I’ll sell it for four hundred thousand.”

Qi Hao: “……”

After three seconds of silence, Qi Hao exploded, “Are you still human?! Are you still human?! Raising the price now?! You’re making dirty money!”

Li Linlin scratched her face indifferently. “This is just plain revaluation from me.”

“……Is there anyone who revalue things like this? Real estate doesn’t even do it like you! I’m going to expose you on Weibo!”

“Oh, go ahead. Remember to @ me.”

Qi Hao: “……”

How could a female celebrity be even thicker-skinned than him???

“Oh, just a friendly reminder, 400,000 yuan is today’s price. It may go up in value again tomorrow.”

Qi Hao: “……”

“Why don’t you go into business? You’ll surely do better than my family and Huachuang. You’re a business genius.”

Li Linlin humbly stated, “You’re too kind, you’re too kind. I just want to be an ordinary international superstar and a gangster.”

Qi Hao: “……”

Previously, she went on the hot search for being a humblebrag. He believed it. 🙂

Qi Hao hung up the phone angrily and threatened to expose Li Linlin on Weibo. Li Linlin was looking forward to it. She even logged on Weibo on her phone to wait.

Her daily Weibo messages were now so numerous that it was impossible to quickly find Qi Hao’s among the vast sea of alerts. Thus she found Qi Hao’s phone number and sent him a message, 【What’s your Weibo name?】

Qi Hao: “……”

Qi Hao directly sent the link to Li Linlin’s Weibo account. Li Linlin clicked in and indeed saw it.

His avatar was of one of Miller’s building block figure and it seemed that he’s indeed a veteran collector. She also saw the Weibo post that mentioned her. The whole text was filled with exclamation marks, exactly the same as when they were on the phone just now.

He also @’ed her three times.

Unfortunately, it didn’t have a single comment or repost, and there were only two likes.

Li Linlin kindly helped him break the zero comment. 【This looks so pitiful, no one even commented.】

【Qi Hao: ?????】

Li Linlin then followed it up with a second comment, 【Why don’t you buy a hot search? Oh, I forgot you have no money.】

【Qi Hao: ???】

He unilaterally announced that he, Qi Hao, would henceforth become Li Linlin’s number one anti-fan. They’re mortal enemies from now on.

When Li Linlin got home, she went back to her room and picked up the building block figure placed next to the photo frame and examined it. She had previously seen Chen Yiran used a transparent box to store his collection, so she also searched online and bought one suitable for her building block figure and put it inside.

She had said before that something was wrong with Chen Yiran all of a sudden, and Qi Hao’s call today gave her an idea―― Chen Yiran couldn’t be deceiving her for the building block figure, right?

Thinking of this, she angrily picked up the phone and sent Chen Yiran a message.

【Linlin: Qi Hao called me today saying he wanted to buy back my building block figure.】

Chen Yiran had just finished doing some papers and was sitting in the office. He replied to her, 【Why?】

【Linlin: He saw the news about us on the Internet and is afraid that I’ll give you the building block figure.】

【Chen Yiran: That news has been around for so long, he only remembered it now?】

【Linlin: ……Uh, he doesn’t look very intelligent.】

Chen Yiran laughed and replied, 【Did you sell it?】

【Linlin: I’m waiting for him to come up with the money.】

【Linlin: You suddenly said you wanted to pursue me. Aren’t you just trying to trick the building block figure away from me?】

【Linlin: Then I have to tell you to stop daydreaming. Even if we get married, it will still be my premarital property.】

【Chen Yiran: So you’ve already thought about marriage?】

Li Linlin: “……”

President Chen was really good at grasping the key points.

―――pr

After that day, Qi Hao really began to focus on defaming Li Linlin on his Weibo and even changed his Weibo name to 【Has Li Linlin Fallen Today?】

Li Linlin also followed him. Perhaps because some fans were paying attention to Li Linlin’s following list, they dug out this account and followed him in droves.

With Li Linlin’s blessing, Qi Hao gained more than 100,000 followers a day and was no longer the pitiful guy who received no comments on his posts.

——Now all the Weibo post he made about Li Linlin was full of Li Linlin’s fans commenting 【Hahahahaha】.

Another reason why everyone followed Qi Hao was that they could see that he and Li Linlin know each other personally, and he should be a second-generation rich kid. From him, they might be able to know some other information about Li Linlin.

Soon everyone’s guess came true. Qi Hao went online and made a Weibo post.

【Has Li Linlin Fallen Today?: Is Zhang Shu blind to pick Li Linlin??? It seems that these international directors are nothing more than people fishing for fame! The entertainment industry is really going down the drain!】

【Fan 1: What, what? Director Zhang picked our Little Sister Linlin?】

【Fan 2: Zhang Shu’s latest big pie is 《Doll Amidst the Flowers 5》! Our Linlin is going to be in the movie?!】

【Fan 3: Aaaaah, please continue leaking information! Don’t hide it! We fans are counting on you!】

Qi Hao: “?”

Qi Hao posted on angrily, 【Isn’t it obvious enough from my Weibo ID? Then let me say it again, I am Li Linlin’s anti-fan. Please respect the fruits of my labor as an anti-fan. [Smile] Don’t treat me as a fan, thank you. [Smile]】

【Fans: Alright, alright, you’re an anti-fan. So will you still continue leaking information’s?】

Qi Hao: “……”

Just as the number of comments on Qi Hao’s post surged, the official account of Doll Amidst the Flowers officially announced that Li Linlin would star in 《Doll Amidst the Flowers 5》.
