Forty-eight stars
This press conference also included a segment for new product researchers to give presentations. Firstly, Lin Tang didn't really want to be part of the presentation, and secondly, newcomers needed training, so this task fell on Ying Yu.
By the time this segment was over, the press conference was drawing to a close. To create a good omen, staff members would often offer glasses to everyone, wishing for good luck. However, when clinking glasses, people didn't actually touch each other's glasses; they simply made a gesture. However, one person didn't do this, seemingly fearing they wouldn't be able to touch each other. They even switched seats with the host, clinking their glass against Feng Chi Bai's while no one was paying attention.
Lin Tang watched, feeling a strange sense of tightness in her chest. Suddenly, she remembered what Feng Chibai had said to her. Could it be that, as he said, they had signed an agreement and were each other's property?
So what did this mean? Was it that someone had secretly taken her star projector? Was it that someone had eaten a bite of her cold noodles without even asking? That seemed understandable.
She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. After a few seconds, she uttered in frustration, "This is too much!"
Ying Yu blinked, stunned, "You...are your reflexes that slow? Hiccup, I'm going to tell Director Yuan that you've been under too much pressure lately and need a good rest."
Lin Tang glared at him, his temper vindictive: "I think you have water in your brain, you need to be shaken out by a handstand."
Ying Yu immediately fell silent. Finally, it was right.
After the meeting, Lin Tang returned to the lounge and poured himself a glass of water out of boredom.
After a while, someone opened the door and came in.
Feng Chibai sat down next to her and said with a cold face, "Sorry, the PR department didn't carefully review the selection process?"
Lin Tang felt strange, why did he suddenly talk about this to him: "Huh?"
Feng Chibai pursed his lips and said unhappily, "Forget it, it's pointless to tell you."
Lin Tang reacted this time. She chuckled, "Look, look, you're looking down on my intelligence again. I know, someone just ate a bite of my cold noodles."
"What's grilled cold noodles?"
Finally seizing the opportunity to counterattack, Lin Tang imitated his previous words and replied: "It's useless to tell you."
Feng Chibai: "..."
He poured himself a glass of water, leaned back on the sofa with his back relaxed, and his eyes suddenly turned to her profile.
Thinking of the scene I just saw on the stage, I felt a little dazed.
Noticing his gaze, Lin Tang tilted his head, met his gaze, and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"
Feng Chibai was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Were you a little unhappy just now?"
Lin Tang frowned, thinking back to his feelings just now, and replied truthfully: "Yes...I think so."
Then she saw him laughing for no reason, which made her even more confused: "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Chibai chuckled softly: "Nothing, I just thought of something happy."
Inexplicable.
Lin Tang always felt that he was holding back his anger, so he simply ignored him, looked away, and drank water in a daze.

This time, the M9+ product sold very well. Due to its advanced performance, sales quickly broke previous records.
As it was almost time to get off work, Lin Tang was packing up his things in the office when he suddenly received a call from Zhao Yingxun.
She pressed the call button, and the voice on the other end immediately rang out: "Damn, Yunhe's new product is a collaboration with your research institute."
"You just realized it." Thinking he was going to praise himself, Lin Tang added arrogantly, "Greatness needs no words."
Zhao Yingxun wailed, "I'm jealous. When will you help me get one?"
Lin Tang said sarcastically, "Did you pay enough?"
Feng Chibai hadn't arrived yet, so Lin Tang finished packing and went downstairs to wait for him.
Zhao Yingxun's timid voice echoed in her ears: "Where can I get the money? I still need to get some from your husband."
Knowing that his previous cooperation was a joke, Lin Tang curved his lips and said, "Then let him continue to invest in you."
"I don't dare to go to him recently. Last time I recommended a spokesperson to him, but the product was rejected at the last minute. Your husband seems quite unhappy about it."
Lin Tang didn't know about this, so she asked, "What return?"
Zhao Yingxun explained, "Oh, I've only been back in China for a year. I don't really pay attention to a lot of things going on in the domestic entertainment industry. I don't know how my family signed her. I simply saw she was popular and recommended her to Yunhe. But she turned out to be a rude person and made your husband furious."
No wonder I saw Wen Yuting posting a row of cool photos on WeChat Moments a few days ago.
However, she hadn't noticed Feng Chibai getting angry recently, so she laughed and teased, "How could he get angry? He remained indifferent even when his wife's belongings were rummaged through. Yeah, then he really didn't lie that day."
I simply forgot to consider her.
In a flash, just as she reached the first floor, she ran into Feng Chibai walking in from the door. She said nonchalantly to the other end, "Hang up first, the angry one is coming."
The moment the call was disconnected, Feng Chibai raised his eyebrows and said, "You're scolding me."
It wasn't a rare thing, so she admitted it bluntly: "Yeah, I guessed it."
She approached him, remembering what they had just said on the phone, and asked casually, "You fired the spokesperson? It's only been a week, right?"
Feng Chibai hummed: "I did a detailed back adjustment later, but I don't meet the requirements to be a company product spokesperson."
Lin Tang chuckled: "A set of things. I'm going to the supermarket to buy some things."
My phone shows that there are still three days until my predicted period. I took a look when I went out during the day and it seemed that there were not many sanitary napkins left at home.
But when they arrived at the supermarket and walked into the women's products area, Lin Tang looked at Feng Chibai who had followed in. She didn't care, but she was worried that he would feel uncomfortable and embarrassed to say it, so she asked, "Why don't you go out and wait for me?"
Feng Chibai didn't seem to understand what she meant: "What's wrong?"
Lin Tang asked bluntly: "Do you feel embarrassed?"
The answer I got was a very firm: "No."
Then it's okay.
After selecting for a while, she suddenly became interested and pulled the cart towards the fruit and vegetable section, asking as she walked, "You probably haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
Hearing his hum, Lin Tang began to pick out the dishes: "Okay, I'll cook tonight."
After all, the tasks have been easier during this period, and Lin Tang rarely has time to spare some time to rest. Once he gets excited, no one can stop him.
However, she couldn't cook dishes like those in high-end restaurants. Fortunately, Feng Chibai wasn't picky and would eat whatever she cooked. After picking out a few simple dishes, the two of them checked out and returned to their suite.
The meal was cooked by the aunt in advance. Lin Tang was very quick at cooking simple dishes, and dinner was ready in no time.
But halfway through her meal, she suddenly thought of Grandma Lin. Her nose suddenly felt a little dry, and she pursed her lips before suddenly saying, "It seems like it's been a while since I've been back to Jingluo. When July is free, would you like to go back with me?"
The moment he finished speaking, Feng Chibai's breathing hitched, and his eyes suddenly became evasive. But fearing that she might notice something was wrong, he tried to maintain his usual calm demeanor and hummed.
But there was a moment of abnormality that caught Lin Tang's attention. Thinking that he was unwilling, she didn't care. She shook her head and muttered to herself, "You're so reluctant. Then I won't take you with me. I don't really want to take you with me. It's better for me to go back and relax..."
Feng Chibai knew she was about to start rambling on again, so he interrupted her in time, "Don't force me."
His voice was faint and a little hoarse, as if he wasn't feeling well. After spending time together, Lin Tang could sense some of it. But from what she knew, there seemed to be only one thing that could stir his emotions.
So she pointed at the bracelet on his wrist and asked softly, "Are you...thinking of..."
She blinked, pursed her lips and made a sealing gesture, and whispered, "Then I won't mention it."
Feng Chibai knew what she was referring to and explained, "It has nothing to do with this."
But Lin Tang had already agreed in his heart, and now he just thought that what he said was just a stubborn refusal, so he didn't say another word for the rest of the conversation.
*
On the day when Huai University held an alumni association, Lin Tang and Zhao Yingxun were invited to attend together.
When acquaintances meet, they naturally sit together by coincidence.
The seats were not fixed, and the two of them chose two seats in the corners. The host on the stage was speaking, and they were also chatting in low voices.
However, as soon as Zhao Yingxun saw Lin Tang, his face immediately frowned, as if some bad memories were brought back to him.
Lin Tang noticed it and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? Is Feng Chibai putting pressure on you?"
Zhao Yingxun clasped his palms together, said with a droopy mouth, "It's not really stressful, but it's almost there."
After listening to his explanation, I realized that Su Yu had been replaced shortly after Yunhe officially announced its spokesperson, which would inevitably lead to speculation online. However, despite all the speculation, Yunhe officials did not give a reason for the replacement, and their intention was to save Su Yu's face.
But until two days ago, Su Yu went on a live broadcast and hinted at the inside story of the new spokesperson for M9+. Although she didn't say it explicitly, her fans immediately stood up for her and rushed into the comment section of Yunhe's official tree hole to curse her.
After all, Yunhe is a big company, so it is naturally not a pushover. It directly released the negative evidence about Su Yu in the past that had not been fully confirmed, and nailed the title of "bad artist" to her. The situation suddenly became clear.
But Su Yu was a member of Zhao Entertainment Company after all, and it was he who recommended him. Zhao Yingxun felt a little embarrassed for causing such a big trouble for him.
Lin Tang had never heard Feng Chibai mention these things, so he felt a little worried for him and asked, "What about that actress? Is she still in your company?"
Zhao Yingxun responded, "Yes."
They all knew she had some negative information, but they still planned to keep it. Lin Tang couldn't help but curl his lips and said jokingly, "Your company's hobby is quite unique."
Zhao Yingxun sighed and explained, "You can't say that. Even if we terminate the contract, our company still has to pay her liquidated damages."
So they can only slowly put her on ice, either letting her take the initiative to terminate the contract, or keep her contract on hold until it expires.
It was the first time that Lin Tang heard such talk, and he couldn't help but click his tongue twice. This person sounded more like an evil capitalist than Feng Chibai.
During the conversation, a staff member came down and distributed gifts from the alumni association to everyone in each seat.
The gift was custom-designed by Huai'an University, and the packaging was printed with the unique Huai'an University emblem. Remembering something, Lin Tang took a photo of the gift and sent it to Feng Chibai, especially showing the school emblem.
Sui Sui: [What kind of person do you think can be admitted to Huai'an University?]
Sui Sui: [I’m not stupid anyway]
The person on the other end didn't seem to be busy at the moment and replied quickly.
Feng Chibai: [When will it end?]
Sui Sui: [It just started and not long ago and you’re already asking if it’s over. Who should I ask?]
Zhao Yingxun sat next to Lin Tang. He could clearly see the chat on the screen by just tilting his head slightly. He sighed, "How rare! Elmwood can actually come to his senses."
"What?"
Zhao Yingxun smiled and said, "I used to think you wouldn't like anyone."
After all, for someone like her who takes everything lightly, it seems that nothing can really get close to her heart except Grandma Lin.
In fact, Lin Tang agreed with his words from the bottom of her heart. She really didn't like anyone, but after all, she had made an agreement with Feng Chibai, so she had to help hide the truth.
She chuckled and said, "It's really amazing. I once thought I would never get married."
If there were no variables.
"But..." She paused suddenly.
This marriage was actually quite different from what she had imagined. The daily quarrels she had witnessed as a child did not occur between them. On the contrary...
The scene of the first time she saw Feng Chibai being beaten suddenly flashed through her mind.
For the first time, when she made a mistake, someone's reaction was not to blame her, but to take the responsibility for her.
In fact, she knew that sometimes some of her behaviors were quite whimsical, but he didn't seem to care and would even always go along with her.
She had to admit that, putting the contract aside, Feng Chibai was indeed a good husband.
To the point that she actually developed a strange longing for love...?
Zhao Yingxun didn't wait for her to finish her words. In the second half, Lin Tang fell silent for a rare time.
