246: Chapter 246 Fortune Telling for an Acquaintance

Lin Xiao received the schedule sent by Xiao Yuan's agent and discovered there was a scene to film tomorrow.

That night, he coaxed Xiao Yuan to sleep early and got up very early the next day.

When he walked downstairs to the Hotel, he discovered that Su Yu was actually standing at the entrance, as if she were waiting for him.

"Sister? Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"I thought about it and decided it would be better to accompany you."

Su Yu turned around, a smile on her face.

"Aren't you very busy these past few days..."

Lin Xiao was puzzled, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw Su Yu playing with a piece of rope in her hand.

This made an inexplicable chill rise up his back.

He awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Um, wasn't it said that if I take care of Xiao Yuan, the previous matter would be wiped clean?"

"Yes, rest assured, I always keep my word!"

Su Yu said with a smile.

Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva, scooped up Xiao Yuan, and walked quickly outside.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he saw Su Yu's car parked there.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to the Film Crew."

"Alright."

Lin Xiao really had no reason to refuse, so he had to silently get into the car.

This was the first time Su Yu had served as his driver.

He always felt that something was wrong, and from time to time he peeked at Su Yu's expression through the rearview mirror, but he didn't find anything unusual.

"Daddy, can you help me run through my lines?"

Xiao Yuan, who was sitting on the side reading the script, suddenly raised her head.

"Mm, okay."

Lin Xiao agreed almost without hesitation.

But after picking up the script, he discovered that he needed to play a three-year-old little boy!

The general content was arguing with Xiao Yuan over a toy.

The script was obviously meant for children, with Pinyin marked above every character.

In several places, perhaps because Xiao Yuan couldn't even read the Pinyin, some symbols he couldn't understand were drawn crookedly on top.

"How about you run through it yourself."

Lin Xiao put down the script.

Too shameful!

Being thirteen was one thing, but to make him play a three-year-old child was simply...

"Daddy."

Xiao Yuan pursed her little lips, and it looked like tears were about to fall.

This appearance made it impossible for anyone to bear saying any more words of refusal.

"Alright, alright, I'll run through it with you."

Lin Xiao picked up the script again.

Amidst immense embarrassment, he brewed the emotions of a three-year-old child.

What he didn't know was that Su Yu had silently turned on her phone's video recording in the front.

Such an interesting thing, of course, had to be shared with the family!

As the car drove into the filming base, Lin Xiao was finally liberated.

He couldn't wait to send Xiao Yuan inside.

The remaining matters could be left to the on-site assistants.

He had no interest in this children's play and sat to the side, closing his eyes to rest.

Not long after, Su Yu's voice sounded in his ear.

"A-Xiao, I think as a father, you should pay more attention to your child!"

"..."

Lin Xiao pretended not to hear and turned his face to the side.

But soon, another voice sounded.

"Eh? Lin Xiao?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was forced to open his eyes, and he saw an acquaintance walking towards him.

It was Director Zhang, the director of the variety show he and Lin Ran had first participated in.

That was also the first show that started his journey of discovering corpses.

Seeing Lin Xiao here, Director Zhang's eyes were full of excitement.

He immediately sat down next to Lin Xiao and said flatteringly, "Master Lin, can you do another Fortune Telling for me?"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and did not agree immediately.

Director Zhang explained to himself, "This time I'm going to do a detective-style variety show, one with a huge investment. I've invited many celebrities, and you know, many celebrities nowadays have some dark history... But I must ensure that this show won't have any problems, so I want to ask you to take a look, name your price!"

"You don't lack money?"

Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Uh, try not to make it too high, after all, I have to pay out of my own pocket..."

Director Zhang laughed awkwardly.

"Mm, then let me think about it."

Lin Xiao calculated carefully.

Director Zhang thought Lin Xiao was considering whether to help him, but Lin Xiao was actually thinking about how much money it was appropriate to fleece from Director Zhang...

Before he could speak, another voice came from not far away.

"I say, Old Zhang, you're not young anymore, why do you still believe in Fortune Telling?"

The person who came was the assistant director of this detective variety show, surnamed Liu.

This Director Liu looked like a shrewd person.

He looked to be under forty, not tall, with small eyes, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand.

The weather was still a bit cool, but he would open the folding fan and fan it a few times from time to time.

"Director Liu, don't talk nonsense."

Director Zhang frowned and said displeasedly, "Lin Xiao and I haven't just met today; don't I know whether his Fortune Telling is reliable or not?"

Director Liu pursed his lips and snorted disdainfully, "Then you've known me for longer, don't you also not believe the people I recommend?"

This remark left Director Zhang speechless.

Indeed, logically speaking, since he was working with Director Liu, there should be trust.

But this time the investment was indeed too large, and he couldn't afford to gamble.

Even with trust, he wanted an extra guarantee.

Seeing that Director Zhang was wavering, Director Liu continued, "Old Zhang, rest assured, those little actors I chose will definitely become popular!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Director Liu and didn't speak.

But his inner voice sounded.

[Yeah, those little actors will indeed become popular, and not just normally popular!]

Su Yu heard Lin Xiao's inner voice and immediately became interested.

"A-Xiao, anyway you are free now, why not do a Fortune Telling for Director Zhang?"

"Yes, yes, do it! Don't worry about money, it definitely won't be less!"

Director Zhang nodded repeatedly.

After speaking, he turned to look at Director Liu, "Liu Yi, you don't need to worry about this, and you don't have to pay, I just like to hear Master Lin say a few words!"

Director Liu pursed his lips in displeasure and didn't say anything more.

But that look clearly showed he still didn't believe it.

Lin Xiao coughed lightly, "Then I'll say it? Don't say I offended people later!"

Hearing this, Director Zhang broke into a cold sweat.

The meaning of these words was already very obvious; it meant there was a situation!

He grabbed Lin Xiao's hand, "Master Lin, as long as you help me reduce losses, whoever dares to say a bad word about you, I'll be the first to fall out with them!"

"Hey? Old Zhang, you..."

Director Liu was a bit unhappy, but before he could finish his sentence, he was glared back by a look from Director Zhang.

There was no other way, he had to shut his mouth again.

Lin Xiao supported his chin with one hand and began to speak seriously.

"The veteran actor who is the male lead can be used; his reputation has always been good, and there is no difference between his public and private self."

"The famous female Host who is number two can also be used; there's no problem."

"Number three... uh, Song Xi? She can also be used."

"..."

Listening to Lin Xiao's description, Director Liu really couldn't hold back.

"No, what you said is equivalent to saying nothing! Old Zhang, you still say this person isn't a swindler?"

"Shut up!"

Director Zhang's attitude this time was not as good as before.

Director Liu lost face, and his expression wasn't very good either, "Did I say something wrong? Look at what he said, isn't it the same as not saying anything?"

Director Zhang took a deep breath and looked at Director Liu as if looking at a fool, "Did you forget the confidentiality agreement we signed before?"

"What does that have to do with the confidentiality agreement?"

Director Liu was puzzled.

"I have never told Master Lin who the guests we invited are."

Once Director Zhang said this, Director Liu's eyes finally changed.
