Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Chapter 459: Chapter 264: If You Can’t Choose Between the Royal Sister and the Childhood Sweetheart, Then Don’t Choose at All_3

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan knew exactly what she meant.

“The important thing is to participate, trying it out won’t do any harm,” he consoled, “It’s okay if you don’t get selected; these blue-blooded and red-blooded tastes are quite strange, essentially they still prioritize popularity.”

“Yeah, I know,” she nodded, leaning in to look at the script he was working on, “Will you take me to the airport tomorrow?”

“Yes, at what time…..”

He was cut off mid-sentence when Lin Wanzhou leaned in, her lips sealing his in a kiss that was as brief as a dragonfly skimming the water, pressing gently before quickly pulling away.

“I’m going off to bed then,” she said coyly, walking away with her hands behind her back.

Xu Qingyan sat in front of the computer alone, still a bit dazed. A faint scent of perfume lingered in the room, his mouth slightly agape, unsure what to say.

These past few days, he’d been taken advantage of, inadvertently or otherwise, mainly because he was too shy to initiate the same with Lin Wanzhou. He harbored some little schemes in his heart, smoldering with suppressed excitement.

Thinking that Lin Wanzhou couldn’t resist either, he decided to just wait, maybe he could even turn the tables on her.

Those who wait never lose out.

The next day, which was the ninth, Xu Qingyan took Lin Wanzhou to the airport.

Before she left, Lin Wanzhou gave Zhang Hongmei a big red envelope and bought some extra household appliances.

After dropping her off, Xu Qingyan didn’t immediately return home, but made a trip downtown instead. The secretary-general’s wife was ill and hospitalized, so he took the opportunity to bring them some gifts.

He made some inquiries and chose the gifts thoughtfully, nothing too expensive.

These days, Li Yang was not very at ease, as it was her first time dealing with such big issues. She had been full of anxiety, what with making police reports and seeing lawyers in a row.@@novelbin@@

She had mentally prepared herself for anything, even rehearsed what to say carefully, but it turned out that the matter didn’t seem to have much to do with her in the end.

She had only met a lawyer once, then a police officer, and she’d also met a middle-aged uncle at a dinner. In the end, she didn’t even see any of her own family’s uncles or older relatives.

Then one day, Xu Qingyan casually told her that the issue was resolved, the other party had agreed to the mediation proposal. She was bewildered, indeed there was a mediation proposal.

It was something Xu Qingyan had discussed with her, revised several times. She thought it was Xu Qingyan’s suggestion, but now it seemed that perhaps Xu Qingyan was conveying the other party’s demands.

She thought the mediation hadn’t started yet, but it was actually over. Xu Qingyan had protected her from it all. The money was automatically transferred into her card, along with a pile of documents.

Looking at Xu Qingyan now, the once blurry image in her heart grew clear again.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

At the dinner table, Xu Qingyan mentioned to Zhang Hongmei that he would return to Xinghai the next day.

“Why are you leaving so soon?” Zhang Hongmei frowned.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang also looked up, her doe eyes sparkling as they fixed on him. She stared without even blinking, an anxious look on her face, as if she feared he would fly away.

“Ah, it’s for work, I started a company planning to produce a TV drama.” Xu Qingyan now felt relaxed, and was getting a bit playful.

“Mom, you should really look forward to the ‘The Legend of Martial Arts’ that your son is making.”

“What martial arts this and that, sounds fishy,” Zhang Hongmei bluntly criticized, “Even if you want to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, you should still come back home.”

Although Zhang Hongmei complained about his unreliable words, she wouldn’t raise objections to things she didn’t understand. She never interfered with her children, only emphasizing the need to come home.

“Next time, definitely next year. You’re in good health now,” Xu Qingyan picked up some food with his chopsticks, “It’s fine if I’m not here, isn’t Li Yang here?”

“Psh, Li girl is way better than you, so don’t try to ride on her coattails,” Zhang Hongmei eyed him critically, “Eat your food, eat.”

Li Yang glanced at him and bowed her head to eat, her thoughts unknown.

After receiving most of her entitled wealth, she had intended to pay back Zhang Hongmei, even doubling the amount. But all of it was returned, unaccepted.

Zhang Hongmei said to wait until she had a job, as there would be many expenses while studying.

Xu Qingyan had no particular feelings about this, having Li Yang to help share the burden was not bad. After all, he was busy with work and would soon have to return once things were settled here.

Though he felt relieved after completing the Spring Festival gala and wanted to spend more time with the Empress Dowager Zhang, reality did not permit it, and he still had more pressing projects to attend to.

Pei Helin and Li Yang’s album still needed a few more songs, waiting for his feedback. In addition, he had to release a few songs himself, not necessarily all at once, but he needed a release plan.

Singing might not be as lucrative as filming, but it was his main source of income at the moment.

The company was registered early; starting this year, one can’t use promised contributions for the registered capital. This meant his company’s finances were not too tight at the moment, and there was no need for Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou to invest.

Money when locked away is useless; it’s only useful when it’s in circulation.

Whether it’s Pei Muchan or Lin Wanzhou, the real earnings would come from their carefully crafted album that they’d been polishing for nearly half a year. Should it explode in popularity, not only would they climb a step higher,

but money would also continuously flow into their pockets… temporarily. Then it would flow into Xu Qingyan’s company, serving as start-up capital to launch ‘The Legend of Martial Arts’.

His hope was that this money would ensure the company’s operation, but at the same time, it wouldn’t impact their financial status or quality of life.

If ‘The Legend of Martial Arts’ was a hit, the profits could stream back into their pockets through dividends and then through additional investments…

In simple terms, this was a big gamble: the three of them betting on the future of ‘The Legend of Martial Arts.’ If it flopped, well, the company would close, farewell.
