Chapter 26: Unable to Win
Huang Juan quickly began to recall her impression of Lin Xi over the past decade. She was not a pushover and they had fought countless times. But if that girl was really that powerful, wouldn't she have taken care of them all long ago?
You can't just show mercy, right?
Weird, so weird, where did she get all these skills from?
Huang Juan was lost in thought for a while, unable to figure out what was going on, so she told the little fat boy, "From now on, don't call Lin Xi your cousin in front of her. She's so powerful, be careful she might hit you."
The little fat boy put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm not afraid. If she dares to hit me, let my dad beat her to death!"
Huang Juan was anxious, "Fuck her! Even your dad can't beat her now!"
"Remember, don't mess with her recently!"
The fat boy didn't know whether he heard it or not, and ran away with his phone.
When Liu Dongsheng came back from get off work, Huang Juan wanted to say something but hesitated after thinking about it.
Lin Xi has made her presence known. She has heard people talking about Lin Xi at work more than once. They all say that the girl is pretty and capable. She is very worried that Liu Dongsheng's heart will be biased towards the mother and daughter.
No one knows Liu Dongsheng better than her. In his heart, the most important thing is profit.
His importance is even greater than that of the only son.
So Liu Dongsheng must not be allowed to know about this matter.
Lin Fenfang and Lin Yuan had the same doubts in their minds: where did Lin Xi get all these abilities?
In Beijing, a city with a population of tens of millions, she was able to stand out and become one of the only three remaining contestants. This cannot be explained by luck alone; it is the result of strong strength.
However, although the two of them were confused, they didn't think too much about it and didn't ask Lin Xi. The college entrance examination was coming soon, and the child's mood was the most important.
The college entrance examination is imminent.
What bothers Lin Xi the most now is that she is recognized every time she takes the bus to and from school.
You can’t wear a mask even in hot weather.
The day of the college entrance examination finally arrived. Lin Yuan specially switched shifts with someone else and saved up a few days of vacation, waiting for this moment to come in handy.
Early in the morning, Lin Yuan went to the alley entrance to buy beef noodles. After Lin Xi finished eating, she watched her pack up her admission ticket and pen. Then the two sisters walked to the entrance of the alley, and Lin Yuan extravagantly called a taxi.
After sending Lin Xi to school, Lin Yuan hurried to buy groceries.
After buying some groceries and finishing most of the dishes at home, I went to wait outside the examination hall to pick up Lin Xi.
Lin Fenfang also struggled to get up at home and sat in the kitchen looking at the fire on the stove.
After two days of exams, Lin Yuan couldn't guess how well his sister did from her calm expression.
The day after the exam, Lin Xi got up early to exercise, came back from buying groceries, and was picking vegetables in the kitchen when the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, are you Miss Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi put down the vegetable leaves in her hand and said, "I am, you say."
"Well, we're a sports drink company. We think your youthful and beautiful image is a good match for our products, so we'd like to invite you to be our spokesperson."
"Because you don't have an agent, Miss Lin Xi, we finally got your number. We hope we didn't disturb you."
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly. There would be endorsement fees for endorsements.
I didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
Now that the college entrance examination is over, her mother and sister both know about her participation in the competition, so she doesn't need to hide anything anymore.
She nodded and said, "How about this, it's hard to discuss this over the phone. How about we talk in person tomorrow?"
The other end was so excited, "Sure, sure, I'll contact you tomorrow."
Lin Xi thought about it and called Li Xiaoqiu.
After telling Li Xiaoqiu about the matter, Li Xiaoqiu was even more excited than Lin Xi. "I'll go with you tomorrow. I'll bring my housekeeper with me. He's very capable and has more social experience than us. With him around, we won't be at a disadvantage."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow."
It was during the two days of the college entrance examination that she saw a luxury car picking up Li Xiaoqiu and realized that Li Xiaoqiu's family background was actually extremely impressive.
Her father is the president of a listed company and the family assets are worth tens of billions.
However, she is very low-key. She usually takes the bus to school and dresses simply. No one in the school knows her identity.
The next day, in the company's reception room, sat two young girls, Lin Xi and Li Xiaoqiu, and an old man with gray hair and meticulous clothes.
This strange combination left the assistant vice president who was negotiating the contract a little confused.
He handed the drafted contract to Lin Xi, who handed it directly to Butler Yang without even looking at it.
After reading it, Butler Yang shook his head seriously, "This contract is not acceptable. The endorsement fee you offer is too low."
The assistant to the vice president smiled and said, "It's not that we're paying too little. This is already the price of a third-tier star."
Li Xiaoqiu took it and looked at it, then suddenly exploded. "What? Only 800,000 yuan in endorsement fees for two years. What does your company think of our Xixi?"
The assistant to the vice president quickly apologized and took out a form. "This isn't because our company is stingy. If you don't believe me, you can look at the quotes of other celebrities. Also, this is the contract we signed with the previous spokesperson. The price was also around this amount."
Li Xiaoqiu was about to speak when Butler Yang said in a deep voice, "You are too insincere. You all know how popular Miss Lin Xi is now. The price you are offering is that of an out-of-date artist. Of course, we did our homework before coming here."
"Also, what if two days later, Miss Lin Xi obtains the only two qualifications from Flower Country?"
The assistant to the vice president laughed dryly, "Well, that's certainly different."
Butler Yang said slowly, "So, you guys are just taking a gamble. If Lin Xi can qualify for the competition this time, you'll win big."
"I can tell you clearly that we cannot possibly agree to this price."
The assistant to the vice president wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Well, regarding the endorsement fee, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the vice president for instructions."
After he left, Butler Yang suddenly said, "Miss Lin Xi, if you have a certain degree of confidence in the competition, I suggest you wait until it's over. By then, I'm afraid there will be many companies looking for you to be their spokesperson. You can easily choose the one that matches your price and company image."
"However, if you're not confident enough, my advice is to increase the price a bit before signing. After all, once the final qualifiers are decided, most of the attention will definitely be on the only two contestants."
He hadn't said another word yet. At that time, no company would be willing to pay 800,000 yuan.
Lin Xi thought about it. She had been training on her own every day for the past month, and her supernatural powers had been upgraded again, with both her strength and speed increasing.
But we can't say that we are absolutely sure.
