"Teacher An, what do you think of Lin Qingyan? Should we keep him or not?"
Everyone else thought this contestant was great. Putting aside his skills, his appearance and demeanor were absolutely unique. Just standing on the stage like that was enough to attract everyone's attention.
In addition, he sings very well. It's not that his technique is particularly advanced, but he is very moving, which is something that many people cannot do. He wins from the moment he opens his mouth.
But it seems that Teacher An is not very satisfied with him?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, An Jing simply smiled nonchalantly and said, "I think this kid is quite interesting. Let's keep him; the audience will like him."
He admitted that because his younger brother An Nanyi had told him about Lin Qingyan, who not only stole things but also fought, he had a bad stereotype of him and thought he would be a petty thug. However, the person he met just now was different from what he had expected.
At first glance, the boy had a clean and innocent air about him; he looked very well-behaved, and not only that, but his every move exuded that same well-behaved quality.
Qiao Jin'er doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like that.
He even felt a strange sense of kinship with the boy named Lin Qingyan, perhaps because they really did look somewhat alike? An Jing stared blankly at the one-inch photo with a blue background on the document.
Lin Qingyan thought he had no chance, but unexpectedly, he received the news that he had passed the interview ten days later. At that time, he was sitting at his desk, struggling with a math problem. After receiving the news, he immediately understood and solved the problem that had been bothering him for half an hour.
Because of his leg injury, he hasn't gone anywhere these past few days, just staying in his room studying or livestreaming to his online viewers. As for the content of his livestreams… it's still studying. (Remember https://m.)
"..."
For some reason, netizens love watching him study, and some even skip class to watch him study in his live stream. He doesn't actually stream often, but his fan base has grown quite fast, already reaching over 100,000.
After learning that he had been selected, the first person he wanted to tell was Gu Fei. He couldn't wait to tell him, and even wanted to tell him in person.
Two hours later, he appeared at the headquarters of the Gu Group, carrying a bag containing insulated lunch boxes containing food he had prepared himself.
It was his first time at the Gu Group, and he didn't greet Gu Fei. The receptionist didn't recognize him, but seeing that the young man was handsome and well-behaved, her tone softened: "Hello, how can I help you?"
Lin Qingyan smiled politely at her, "Hello, sister, I'm looking for Gu Fei... uh, you mean your CEO Gu?"
The young woman was almost captivated by the handsome young man's smile, but was slightly surprised that he was looking for Master Gu. Could it be that this handsome young man was also trying to get close to Master Gu and curry favor with him, just like those other good-looking men and women who were thrown out by security guards before?
After all, this kind of thing has happened quite a few times before.
The result was the same: they were kicked out.
She said awkwardly, "Well... you need an appointment to see our CEO, do you have one?"
Lin Qingyan honestly shook his head. He didn't tell Gu Fei that he was coming. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sister, could you call Yang Jing, Yang's assistant? He knows me."
The receptionist was once again captivated by the young man's "sister," simply because he was so handsome and youthful. "Okay, wait a moment, I'll make a call and ask Assistant Yang."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Lin Qingyan."
The receptionist didn't really believe that the young man knew Assistant Yang, but she still made a call without thinking and said Lin Qingyan's name. Assistant Yang, who had been very calm just now, immediately became flustered.
"Keep a close eye on him, I'm coming down right now!"
After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up. A few minutes later, Assistant Yang hurriedly came down from the elevator, more eager than to receive any important client. Of course, the young man standing at the front desk was much more important than any important client.
He had personally witnessed how Master Gu treated this child. The image of Master Gu sitting in the car looking at his phone a while ago, with a smile on his face as if spring had arrived, was still vivid in his mind.
Assistant Yang was Gu Fei's personal assistant after all, and he had seen all sorts of things. He usually maintained a composed and dignified image at the company, but at this moment he walked quickly to the front desk and smiled obsequiously at the young man, "Young Master Lin, what brings you here? Master Gu is still in a meeting. Let me take you up first."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Yang."
"Shall I help you carry the bags?"
"Thank you, Brother Yang, I can carry it myself."
The receptionist, who witnessed the entire incident, was left bewildered.
What's going on?
The handsome young man wasn't kicked out?
Why is Assistant Yang so obsequious?
The handsome young man wasn't here to curry favor? He actually knows Master Gu? Just who is this extraordinary talent?
Assistant Yang led Lin Qingyan into the CEO's office on the top floor and politely guided him to sit down on the sofa. "Young Master Lin, please have a seat. Mr. Gu is still in a meeting, which should end in about half an hour."
"Okay, Brother Yang, you go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me."
"Would you like something to eat or drink? I'll go get it for you."
Although Lin Qingyan said no, Assistant Yang still diligently brought over drinks, fruit, cakes, and desserts before going out to attend to other matters. She secretly wondered what Master Gu's reaction would be if he returned to his office and saw Young Master Lin there.
Lin Qingyan took a bite of the small cake, and while eating, he curiously looked around the office. He had to admit that this was the largest and most impressive office he had ever seen. There was a floor-to-ceiling window on one wall, from which he could overlook the most prosperous part of Nancheng. Even the domineering CEOs on TV couldn't compare to this.
Master Gu usually works at that desk, right? A picture involuntarily flashed through his mind:
A stern-faced man, dressed in a tailor-made suit, sat upright and meticulously at his desk, his gaze focused and earnest as he examined the documents. His face was expressionless, though occasionally his brows would furrow slightly…
Lin Qingyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he involuntarily swallowed; he was most likely intoxicated.
About half an hour later, Gu Fei finished the meeting and rubbed his temples wearily.
Last time, he rushed back overnight to find Lin Qingyan, and then went on another business trip the next day. He didn't get back until this morning. He didn't go home, but went straight back to the company for a meeting. He was so busy that he didn't have time to rest.
He didn't even want to eat lunch; he just wanted to go back to the office break room and sleep for two hours. But as soon as he entered the office, he saw a familiar figure.
The boy stood with his back to him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a light blue tie-dye T-shirt and black straight-leg cargo pants. He looked very youthful and energetic, and his slender back was tall and straight, like a tender green onion.
Gu Fei remembered that he was the one who bought this outfit.
Hearing the noise, the boy immediately turned around, gave the man standing opposite him a pleasant smile, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes curved slightly. He called out to Brother Fei, "Have you finished your meeting?"
Seeing him, the weariness between Gu Fei's brows lessened considerably. He hummed and asked, "When did you get here? Why didn't you tell me?" As he spoke, he walked up to the boy.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but telling you now won't have the same effect."
After not seeing him for almost ten days, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but look at the man in front of her, who was wearing a tailor-made shirt and trousers just as she had imagined.
His gray shirt was tucked into his trousers, with the top button still neatly fastened. The well-fitting fabric outlined his slender and athletic figure, although the shirt was wrinkled and his face looked a little tired, but it did not diminish his charm at all.
Lin Qingyan learned from Butler Shen that the man had just returned from a business trip and went straight back to work without even having time to rest. As the boss of such a large group, Gu Fei was indeed very busy.
Lin Qingyan felt a pang of sympathy.
The boy's emotions were written all over his face, making it hard for Gu Fei not to notice. His heart softened instantly, and he reached out to touch the boy's soft black hair, his thin lips moving slightly: "I am indeed very surprised."
He then asked, "How's the wound?"
"It's almost healed, nearly finished."
"Let me see." Gu Fei squatted down, lifted the boy's left trouser leg, revealing a section of porcelain-white calf skin. The wound on his calf was indeed almost healed, but it was still an eyesore.
The man gently touched that spot with his fingertip. "Will this leave a scar?"
Lin Qingyan felt a tingling sensation where he had been touched, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. He pursed his lips and said in a gentle voice, "The doctor said it's healing very well and can be removed with scar cream. Just keep using it for a while and it will be fine."
Gu Fei hummed in agreement, then stood up.
Lin Qingyan looked away somewhat embarrassedly, but couldn't help but smile, "Brother Fei, I came here today to tell you that I passed the interview and I can participate in the show!"
Gu Fei seemed to have known all along, his expression remaining unchanged, only with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Yes, Yan Yan is great."
The deep, magnetic voice sent a jolt through Lin Qingyan's heart, making his heart race. To hide his reaction, he quickly walked toward the sofa. "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? I brought some food over. Would you like some?"
Gu Fei followed and watched as the boy took out the food from the insulated box one by one and placed it on the coffee table. They were all home-style dishes, still warm and emitting a fragrant aroma.
It was obvious that neither the family cook nor the housekeeper had made it. A faint smile played on the man's lips as he asked, "Did you make it? Why are you suddenly cooking for me?"
"Hmm..." Lin Qingyan sat stiffly, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Didn't you say before that you would repay me with practical actions? I didn't do it very well, so I hope you won't mind."
"No." The man looked at the boy with his deep, calm eyes, a hint of unreadable emotion flashing in them, and then said, "Perhaps there are other ways to repay him."
Lin Qingyan: "Hmm? Anything else?"
Their eyes met.
Gu Fei suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the corner of his lips.
