Guomin Xiao Wang listened and was a little confused.
"Yes, I slapped him a few times. If I slap him any more, he won't even look like a human. You won't recognize him when you get back," Guomin Xiao Wang said, looking at Duo Duo's swollen cheek.
"Break his legs. I said it, and don't show any mercy. Offending Lin'er is unforgivable. Never mind my son, even if it were my father, it wouldn't be acceptable."
Xu Jiaying's voice was serious and brooks no argument.
After listening for a long time, Mother Xu realized that her husband had just been talking to her son on the phone. No wonder he was scolding her.
"You're going to break your son's legs?" Mother Xu quickly got up and grabbed Xu Jiaying, questioning him.
"Get out of the way." Xu Jiaying pushed his wife aside and walked directly to the living room.
Guomin Xiao Wang was helpless. He would not break Duo Duo's legs, and besides, Xia Lin was no longer pursuing the matter.
He made this call on behalf of his father, so that Xu Jiaying would be aware of the situation.
The phone was on speaker, and everyone clearly heard Xu Jiaying's words. Duo Duo was so scared he almost wet himself.
His father had said it, so he really intended to break his legs.
As Guomin Xiao Wang didn't know what to say, Xia Lin said to him, "Hand the phone to me."
Guomin Xiao Wang nodded and said into the phone, "Lin'er wants to talk to you."
Xu Jiaying, on the other end of the line, trembled and quickly said, "Good, good, good."
Guomin Xiao Wang handed the phone to Xia Lin. Xia Lin took it and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Hello, Lin'er. To hear your voice so late is like the singing of a celestial maiden, lingering in my ears and making me deeply excited. I don't know what words I can use to describe your beauty. Please forgive my vulgarity."
Xu Jiaying didn't mention Duo Duo's matter at all, and started off like an old rogue.
Xu Jiaying had never been a sycophant and didn't know how to speak beautifully, so he could only say such crude words.
There was no way about it; being a sycophant wasn't something you could just become.
Everyone clearly heard Xu Jiaying's words, especially Duo Duo, whose worldview was shattered. If he hadn't made the call himself, he would have suspected his mother of having an affair.
However, Xu Jiaying's sycophantic demeanor left everyone dumbfounded. If you're going to be a sycophant, couldn't you at least speak nicely?
What girl nowadays likes to be praised with cheesy love words from the 80s?
Let alone others, even Duo Duo blushed hearing it. This was really sucking up.
Xia Lin was the same. Xu Jiaying's effusive praise left Xia Lin speechless. She then said, "Mr. Xu, let's just let your son's matter go. I think the lesson he learned this time is profound enough. You don't need to pursue it further."
When Xu Jiaying heard Xia Lin mention his son, he immediately became serious and said, "Lin'er, no matter what, I need to apologize to you. The father is responsible for the son's upbringing. You are broad-minded and a role model for me. I will strive to learn from you. Please accept me as your subordinate and serve as your vanguard."
Everyone: -_-||
Such an old sycophant.
"Uh... we'll see," Xia Lin said, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"You are in Yuchen now. I'll come over immediately to treat you to a meal to express my apology." Xu Jiaying's tone carried a hint of pleading.
"As you wish. We'll be in Yuchen for a few days anyway, so let's leave it at that." Xia Lin prepared to hang up the phone.
They were not peers, and his words were all those of an old sycophant. Xia Lin didn't want to say more.
"Good, good, good. You guys carry on." Xu Jiaying quickly agreed.
After Xia Lin hung up the phone, she handed it back to Guomin Xiao Wang.
Now everyone knew that Xia Lin was the real decision-maker. Everyone looked at Xia Lin with fearful eyes.
The phrase "Who is this? Where am I?" popped into everyone's minds.
"Get up," Li Changhe said, seeing the situation and calling out to the four people.
The four glanced at Xia Lin. Without Xia Lin's confirmation, they were terrified.
"You can go now," Xia Lin said to the four.
With Xia Lin's confirmation, the four quickly stood up and repeatedly thanked Xia Lin, showing a fawning demeanor, which was a stark contrast to their arrogant attitude before.
Huang Li stood there, not knowing what to do, his hands awkwardly placed.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he ran directly to Xia Lin, knelt heavily on the ground, and cried out, "I'm sorry, I'm not human. I was wrong. I shouldn't have helped Zhao Ruitong call security to attack you."
The group hadn't really considered Huang Li as a person. If he hadn't voluntarily knelt down, no one would have remembered him.
Seeing him kneeling on the ground now, everyone realized there was still this guy.
"Alright, get lost," Guomin Xiao Wang said dismissively, waving at Huang Li.
"Okay, I'm leaving now." Huang Li said, rolled on the ground twice, got up, and ran away without a trace.
After Huang Li truly left, Guomin Xiao Wang beckoned to the three young female singers and introduced them, "This is Xia Lin, the chairman of Fenglin Entertainment. If you are interested in switching companies, we will help you with your contracts."
"Hello, Chairman Xia." The three quickly greeted Xia Lin.
"Your singing is very good, and I like it very much. Are you interested in joining our company?" Xia Lin praised the three.
The three's faces lit up with excitement upon hearing this. If they had hesitated before, after witnessing Xia Lin's impressive display, even eight bulls couldn't drag them away now.
They were extremely interested.
"We are willing." The three replied in unison.
"Lin'er, let me introduce you. This is Tan Qianqian, this is Wen Ling, and this last one is Qiao Jimeng." Guomin Xiao Wang introduced them one by one.
"Mhm, hello. Welcome to Fenglin Entertainment," Xia Lin said with a smile.
"Chairman Xia, this is our honor," the three said with surprise and joy.
They were all involved in the entertainment industry. Everyone knew about Fenglin Entertainment; it was a newly emerged entertainment powerhouse, destined to be the strongest entertainment company in Xia Country.
Who wouldn't want to find a good company for themselves and have a strong backing to go further on this path?
"To celebrate your joining Fenglin Entertainment, I'll treat you to supper tonight. I heard the seafood congee here in Yuchen is quite good. You must be tired from singing all night. Let's go eat something together," Xia Lin said, inviting the three.
"Okay, we'll go change our clothes in the backstage and then come," the three nodded.
"Go ahead," Xia Lin smiled.
Zhao Ruitong and the other three ran away like stray dogs before they could even catch their breath.
"That... who is that beautiful woman?" Chu Dongliang asked the question that everyone was pondering.
"I'll call my dad to inform him. Sigh..." Zhao Ruitong said, taking out his phone and dialing his father, Zhao Zhen.
"Have you been crippled yet?" Zhao Zhen asked indifferently.
He had been waiting for Zhao Ruitong's call, or rather, for a result.
Zhao Ruitong swallowed. Duo Duo's father didn't care about his son, and now his own father was the same. He asked in a panic, "Dad, what's going on? Who is this Elder Li you mentioned earlier?"
When Zhao Zhen mentioned Elder Li's name, Zhao Ruitong was so terrified that his three souls ascended to heaven and his seven spirits plunged into the earth.
