But Aunt Hong not only came from a wealthy family but also had a large circle of friends, so it was not easy to offend her. Therefore, she held back and ultimately kept quiet.
Unexpectedly, the little girl named DouDou became unhappy and pouted, saying:
"Aunt Hong, your ideas are so outdated!"
Isn't Huawei much better than my dad's little business? Even Yao Anna was able to debut with her family's support.
"And how old am I? They still call me by my nickname! It sounds like I'm a kindergartener!"
When Lin Xiao's stepmother heard the little girl's words, she couldn't help but feel a little smug, as if the child had stood up for her daughter.
Aunt Hong glanced at her, having seen everything, and said to Dou Dou, "Alright, Eileen is a grown-up now. You can do whatever you want in the future, and your father will definitely support you."
As they were talking, the little girl noticed that Wei Changfeng had already put on his coat and followed his assistant out through the side door.
"Aunt Hong, look, they sang two songs and stayed for less than 20 minutes, and they already pocketed 2 million! Isn't that much easier to make money than any business we do?"
Lin Xiao also saw Wei Changfeng's departing figure. She felt the same way as the little girl, but she was even more surprised that the child probably really had some business acumen!
At their age, shouldn't they be busy chasing after celebrities, wanting photos and autographs, instead of calculating how many times easier it is for celebrities to make money than for their fathers, and then wanting to become celebrities themselves?
Even if a child wants to be a star, it's mostly because they yearn for the glamorous and seemingly dreamlike entertainment industry, rather than considering it solely from an economic perspective and weighing the fact that this profession is lucrative and easy.
Lin Xiao thought to himself that he was probably too rigid in his thinking.
A woman of similar age next to Aunt Hong smiled at Dou Dou and said, "Little girl, you're not as naive as you think. Two million for just two songs?"
The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Huh? Wasn't that what Aunt Hong said just now?"
Aunt Hong nudged the woman next to her with her elbow under the table, glanced at her, and said meaningfully, "Hey, why are you saying these things to a child?"
The woman next to her shrugged indifferently: "I'm doing this for her own good. She needs to know how complicated the entertainment industry is so she won't suffer in the future. What kind of men and women are in there..."
The two middle-aged women exchanged a meaningful glance and smiled.
Aunt Hong continued, "Don't worry, who would dare let this little girl suffer? Her father, Old Xu, would skin him alive!"
Watching the two performers, Lin Xiao recalled his frustration when he saw Wei Changfeng backstage earlier:
Could it be that this 2 million isn't something you can get just by singing?!
"What are you thinking about? You haven't eaten much of the food, is it not to your liking?" Wei Changfeng's question pulled Lin Xiao back from his reverie.
The scene from that day still seemed to float before her eyes, and the ambiguous conversation between the two women still echoed in her ears. She looked at Wei Changfeng, momentarily stunned.
The man before me had clear eyes, a clean smile, and a gentle gaze like that of a friendly golden retriever. Could someone like him have also done things he had no choice but to do during the ups and downs of the entertainment industry?
