[I don't believe it. Our CEO Lin likes this young lady so much, there's absolutely no way he would give her up.]
I am a fan of Tang Xue, and I really hope that no matter what happens, President Lin will be able to protect Tang Xue.
However, the analysis upstairs is quite correct. President Lin is the chairperson of the Lin Group, and sometimes she needs to consider the interests of the entire group.
[Stop talking, stop talking! What you're saying is a bit too scary. I don't want to see this happen. I still want to see Ms. Tang Xue continue to be active in the entertainment industry.]
We don't want this to happen either, but we're not children anymore, and some things are just like that—unavoidable.
The question of whether Tang Xue would be sidelined again because of this incident has sparked much speculation among viewers of the show and her fans.
Many people don't want to see Tang Xue being sidelined again, but for those particularly rational fans...
They were well aware that if this matter was not handled properly, Tang Xue might really be sidelined again.
I'm saying, everyone doesn't need to be so pessimistic. Even if the young lady really offended the higher-ups at the Lin Group, and something happened that even President Lin had to compromise on.
Then all Tang Xue needs to do is terminate her contract with the Lin Group and sign with another entertainment company, right? Someone as outstanding as Tang Xue, I believe she will definitely shine brightly in the entertainment industry.
[That's right, even if the penalty for breach of contract is too high and the young lady can't afford it right now, is our CEO Lin someone who's short of money?]
I admit that your statement does have some merit, but some things are not as simple as we imagine.
Regarding Tang Xue's situation, many people hold an optimistic attitude, but there are also many who hold a pessimistic attitude.
Chapter 72
==================
"I wonder what hobbies Mr. Tang and Mr. Lin usually have? Could you share them with everyone?"
Having learned the young man's purpose, the young man naturally wouldn't let him speak again. The previous two questions had already made him feel like he was losing several years of his life, so he naturally didn't want any more sensitive issues to arise.
As for the questions the young man had asked earlier, the young man naturally wanted to ignore them.
Although he knew that asking this question had already hurt Tang Xue, he couldn't just sit and wait for her to answer it.
“A hobby.” Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Does sleeping count as a hobby? I don’t usually have any hobbies, I just love to sleep in.”
"Well, that counts too." The young man touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, thinking that Lin Xiaoxiao was probably expressing her dissatisfaction.
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned back, finding a comfortable position, her gaze sweeping over the young man, and she casually uttered a sentence.
"It seems that no one is interested in this boring question. Let's talk about something more interesting, like the question this guy just asked."
The young man paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the younger woman. He didn't quite understand why Lin Xiaoxiao had deliberately brought up this topic.
Even though he was already changing the subject, the young man glanced at Tang Xue and felt that he might have found the truth.
"Okay, let's answer the first question first." Lin Xiaoxiao took out her phone, tapped a few times, and then showed a photo to the camera.
"Everyone, take a look. This is the contract Xiaoxue signed with our Lin Group. It has a date on it. Please look carefully. Xiaoxue did indeed sign a contract with the Lin Group right after graduation."
Lin Xiaoxiao held her phone properly so that the camera could clearly capture the contract in her hand.
"I believe everyone has seen the contract. Xiaoxue didn't lie, and of course, I didn't forge anything either. Xiaoxue is a student at Beijing Film Academy. If you really don't believe me, you can verify it for yourselves."
Putting her phone away, Lin Xiaoxiao opened the live stream window for her rural life and browsed through the numerous comments.
"I just looked at everyone's comments, and I can responsibly tell you about the concerns you've all had."
The things you're worried about won't happen, and Xiaoxue won't be sidelined again. As for the reason..."
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Tang Xue. "It's a little different from everyone's guess. The person who's been keeping Xiaoxue under wraps is none other than me. As for the reason..."
[Was it because the young lady rejected Mr. Lin's advances that he cruelly sidelined her?]
Upon seeing this comment, Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with amusement. "That's right, just like what this friend said. I was cruelly rejected, so in my heartbreak, I hid Xiaoxue away."
Tang Xue glanced curiously at Lin Xiaoxiao's phone screen and saw this comment.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Tang Xue's eyes as she reached out and poked Lin Xiaoxiao's arm.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at her, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She sat down next to Tang Xue. "Look at these people, they're so interesting. By the way, everyone's a little worried about you."
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with a smile. Seeing so many people worried about Tang Xue, Lin Xiaoxiao was truly happy.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao so happy, Tang Xue also raised the corners of her lips, lowered her gaze, and saw the dense barrage of comments on Lin Xiaoxiao's phone.
When will Mr. Lin and the young lady go public with their relationship?
"Publicize? Publicize what?" Lin Xiaoxiao tapped her phone. "Publicize our relationship? Our relationship has already been public for a long time, haven't you guys been shipping us as a couple every day?"
Lin Xiaoxiao spoke in a lighthearted tone, her joking manner carrying a hint of frivolity.
Even though Tang Xue knew Lin Xiaoxiao was joking, her heart still skipped a beat. Although she knew that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't mean it that way, she was still deeply moved.
The throbbing in her heart made her grip her right hand, which was behind Lin Xiaoxiao's back, and tilt her head slightly to look at the girl's smiling lips.
Tang Xue's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a tenderness and doting affection that she herself was unaware of.
Is sleeping really CEO Lin's hobby? Are the hobbies of wealthy women this down-to-earth?
"Of course, my biggest dream is to be a lazy bum who doesn't have to do anything."
How long have Mr. Lin and Ms. Tang Xue been together?
"How long have you been together?" Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head and met Tang Xue's gentle, smiling eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes softened slightly as her gaze shifted. "Xiaoxue, the audience is asking how long we've been together."
“Three months and ten days,” Tang Xue blurted out without the slightest hesitation.
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting to get such an accurate number from Tang Xue.
[Three months and ten days, this young lady remembers it so clearly!]
[These are the days I spent with my husband, of course I remember them clearly.]
[Wait a minute, shouldn't this young lady and President Lin have known each other since the signing of the contract?]
Upon seeing this comment, Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Tang Xue, seemingly wanting to see her reaction.
But then he noticed the other person staring intently at his phone. "No, it's three months and ten days, that's how long it's been since I met Xiaoxiao."
When she signed with the Lin Group, she had never met Lin Xiaoxiao. Even though she met Lin Xiaoxiao later, Tang Xue truly got to know her on the day Lin Xiaoxiao brought her home.
[So you were sidelined because you rejected Lin Xiaoxiao, and now you have the opportunity to play Shen Xinyu because you accepted Lin Xiaoxiao?]
Because they were afraid Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Xue wouldn't see it, the other party sent several more comments in a row.
"My friend, you're mistaken. I'm still pursuing her relentlessly. You can think of me as Xiaoxue's simp."
Therefore, you cannot say that Xiaoxue used improper means to get this role; she got the opportunity through an audition.
Of course, you can choose not to believe it; after all, it's your word, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Simp!
Tang Xue pursed her lips, she really didn't know what kind of expression she should wear right now.
What do you mean by saying Lin Xiaoxiao is her simp? What do you mean by saying Lin Xiaoxiao is pursuing her relentlessly? It's as if the other person is really pursuing her.
Tang Xue scratched her palm; such words were truly captivating.
Seeing Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao interacting with the audience, the young man did not disturb them.
Instead of racking our brains to think of ways to liven up the atmosphere, this is actually better.
At least he didn't have to worry about them saying anything they shouldn't. As for the audience's questions, he believed Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao would answer them accordingly.
On the way to the filming location, without the young people causing trouble, the atmosphere in the space eased up considerably.
Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao kept looking at their phones, and when they saw questions in the live chat, they would pick out the ones they could answer and respond to them one by one.
As for those more sensitive issues, they will pretend not to see them.
So along the way, they got along fairly well with the viewers in the live stream. As for the unpleasant things, those troublemakers were naturally the trolls.
"Alright, we've arrived at our destination, so I'm not going to chat with you anymore."
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao turned off her phone, jumped out of the car, and stretched.
Chatting with the audience is quite enjoyable for Lin Xiaoxiao. She can answer their questions in a joking manner without having to worry too much.
Looking at Tang Xue following behind her, Lin Xiaoxiao thought of the comments from the audience.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xue walked over to Lin Xiaoxiao and reached out to touch her.
"It's nothing, I just think those fans are quite cute." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled with her eyes narrowed.
"She is quite cute." Tang Xue lowered her eyes. "You are cute too."
"What?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hear clearly.
"Now they all think you're the one who can't have the love you want." This reminded him of Lin Xiaoxiao's previous response to the question.
Tang Xue suddenly felt a tickle in her heart; the surging emotions seemed almost impossible to suppress.
Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then put her arm around Tang Xue's shoulder and rested her chin on Tang Xue's shoulder, not letting Tang Xue see her expression.
"Of course! I'm your devoted suitor now. Didn't you hear what they said? I've been keeping you out of the spotlight because I can't have you in my heart."
Tang Xue bit her lip, her ears tickling a little. "Then I should feel honored. Thank you, President Lin, for letting me out of the dark room."
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, her soft hair brushing against Tang Xue's earlobe, causing her to subconsciously shrink her shoulders, and her already slightly itchy ears quietly turned red.
"Teacher Tang, President Lin."
Hearing the sound, Lin Xiaoxiao released Tang Xue and looked at the young man walking towards them.
Once they arrived at the filming location, their live stream cameras were turned off, which is why they spoke without any reservations.
"I still don't know your name." A lot had happened before, and Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't asked this question.
"My name is Wang Ming." The young man smiled, glanced at Tang Xue who was fiddling with her hair, and then silently looked away. "Teacher Tang, President Lin, this is our filming location."
Wang Ming pointed ahead, "You two will be spending the rest of your time here."
"I'm really looking forward to it." Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Tang Xue's hand, and pushed open the door, hoping that no difficult people would appear.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no intention of fighting with anyone. She came to the show to build a relationship with Tang Xue, so naturally she hoped that everyone else could get along with her.
After pushing the door open, the space was much larger than I had imagined. There was a large tree on the left, and under the tree there was a stone table and several stone benches.
