39: Chapter 39 Wenqi's Chuyan Brother

The serious business was concluded, and everyone was in an excellent mood.

Zheng Hai was already planning how to sign Lin Chuyan.

Although the other party didn't seem to have that intention for the moment, it didn't matter; they could take it slow, as relationships needed to be built step by step.

"Teacher Lin, if you aren't in a rush to go back, shall I show you around Tianxing?"

"Sure, but there is one thing I forgot to mention." Lin Chuyan organized his thoughts slightly. "Regarding the fact that Lin Mo is Lin Chuyan, I don't want to make it public for now. If we are to cooperate, I hope Tianxing can keep this confidential."

"...Can you keep it under wraps?"

Zheng Hai expressed skepticism about this, and he didn't want to hide it either, as it would be beneficial for his promotion.

"Actually, not many people know. My agent, my teacher, Xingxing, and you—that's it. I know it won't be able to be kept secret forever, but I have my own plans. In short, for me, now is not the best time."

Lin Chuyan's reasoning was simple.

Becoming a Singer was already surprising enough; if he also took on all the Songwriting himself, the eventual fallout might not necessarily be a good thing.

He wasn't quite sure, so it was better to slow things down.

Zheng Hai pondered for a moment: "Hmm... If you insist, Tianxing will respect that."

"Thank you. In short, let's just make Lin Mo an existence that others can't find. People just need to know that Lin Mo provided all the songs for me to sing."

The three of them walked slowly from top to bottom, introducing the various departments of the company along the way.

Usually, scenes like this weren't uncommon, but they were typically HR leading new employees.

It wasn't unheard of for Zheng Hai and Ruan Xingyu to appear together, but with a gold-medal producer and a music diva sandwiching a young handsome man on their left and right?

What was going on?

They were all seasoned office veterans, so the employees just stole a few glances and went back to work.

However, the WeChat groups without any leaders in them had already started gossiping.

"A newcomer to our company? Is Tianxing pushing him hard? Or is he a member of some group?"

"Damn, he's a bit too handsome, isn't he? Where did they scout him from? Tianxing, you've changed... I suggest you increase the effort."

"10 minutes, I want all the information on this handsome young man!"

"The question is, what kind of situation requires such a big spectacle? Brother Zheng Hai on the left, Sister Xingxing on the right—what is his status? Damn, could he be the chairman's son?"

"The chairman doesn't have a son; I found that out on my second day at the company."

"Anyway, he's definitely not a newcomer. Look closely at Brother Zheng Hai's expression; his attitude is unusually good. Does that look like how he treats a newcomer?"

"Also, when have you ever seen Sister Xingxing look like this?"

"True."

"What look? How come I didn't notice?"

"Pay attention to the eyes; there's emotion in them."

"Do you think he could be Sister Xingxing's younger brother? Good family genes, handsome man and beautiful woman, and they look to be about the same age. A sister bringing her brother into the industry, plus Brother Zheng Hai's attitude—that makes everything make sense."

"Makes sense."

"Makes sense + 10086"

Soon, the three of them arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

Wen Qi had already been waiting on the sofa in the lobby. She knew Teacher Lin Mo would be coming today, so she found a place to stay and didn't disturb their discussion.

Now that they were finished, she came over to catch up with Ruan Xingyu, but she didn't expect to look up and clearly see Lin Chuyan's face.

No one could describe her feelings at this moment; she felt the world was simply insane.

Because, just like Shi Shilan, she had also been a fan of Lin Chuyan back in the day...

Now you're telling her this is Teacher Lin Mo? The man who was dating Sister Xingxing last night?

Were her former idol and her current idol going to be together? Wen Qi's heart was about to jump out.

Help...

What kind of insane plot twist is this!

Wen Qi's eyes darted back and forth between Ruan Xingyu and Lin Chuyan, and she had already mentally completed countless sweet romance stories about them as a couple.

"Wen Qi? Hello, I am Lin Mo."

Lin Chuyan greeted her. He had kept her waiting for quite a while last night; if not for Zheng Hai being right there, he would have wanted to apologize to her.

"Ah? Oh. Hello, hello. Hello, Teacher Lin Mo."

Lin Chuyan sensed that Wen Qi's gaze was a bit off. "Oh, it seems you've recognized me?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Chuyan..."

Ruan Xingyu: "???"

What's going on? I haven't even called him brother yet, and you're already doing it?

Lin Chuyan was also a bit stunned by this "Brother Chuyan." "What, are you perhaps a fan of mine?"

Speaking of this, Wen Qi felt a little embarrassed. "I used to be..."

"Oh, I see, I understand."

The entertainment industry never lacked traffic; it was something that could fall and then sprout back up again quickly. It was perfectly normal for fans to come and go.

"However, I've returned to acting and Singing, so you can keep an eye out, haha."

"Yes, yes! I definitely will!"

Wen Qi's reasoning was simple: even if he wasn't her idol anymore, he was still her future brother-in-law, so how could she not pay attention?

Lin Chuyan nodded and turned to Zheng Hai. "Teacher Zheng Hai, let's leave it at that for today, shall we? You don't need to see me off anymore."

Zheng Hai smiled. "Sure, then see you next week. Also, if you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Zheng Hai, just like Sister Xingxing does."

"Sure, but Brother Zheng Hai, don't be a stranger either." Lin Chuyan also smiled. "You can just call me Xiao Yan."

"Haha, that works. In private, let's address each other like that in private." Zheng Hai was impeccable, then turned to Ruan Xingyu. "Well, Sister Xingxing, shall we go back? I still have some things to discuss with you."

How could Ruan Xingyu bear to leave? "Brother Zheng Hai, why don't you go back first? Um, I have a few words to say to Teacher Lin as well."

Zheng Hai: "?"

You two still have something to say? How come I didn't know?

Zheng Hai nodded without saying anything, suppressing his confusion, and went back on his own.

Standing in the lobby was too conspicuous. Ruan Xingyu gently tugged on Lin Chuyan's sleeve and immediately let go. The two walked and talked, slowly making their way to a small corner, where at least they weren't being watched by others.

"Let me interview Teacher Lin: you're about to become a Singer, how do you feel?"

"That goes without saying; first, of course, I have to thank my vocal coach, Teacher Ruan."

Ruan Xingyu smiled and lightly patted his arm. "You sound so pleased with yourself calling me Teacher Ruan every other word, don't you?"

"Hehe, what else should I call you? What should I call you in front of Brother Zheng Hai?"

"Call me Sister."

"Sister."

"Ah? So obedient?"

"Yeah, calling you Sister can make you happy, it's such a good deal, I'm happy to do it."

Lin Chuyan was very sweet-talked.

Ruan Xingyu didn't say anything, but she was very pleased inside.

"Hmph, seeing as you're so sensible, I'll tell you one more thing." Ruan Xingyu was acting like a total insider traitor. "For your contract with Tianxing, have your agent find a lawyer who specializes in this to help you. That's the only way to be foolproof, you know? Although Tianxing is fairly reasonable, capitalists don't exactly have kind hearts."

Lin Chuyan nodded repeatedly. "From now on, you are my mole inside Tianxing. I promise not to let Brother Zheng Hai take even the slightest advantage of me."

"Pfft, keep dreaming. A mole? I'll sell you out in a minute."

"No need to find anyone else, just sell me to you directly."

"Okay, how much?"

"Just room and board will do, since you're a rich woman anyway."

...

Wen Qi stood two meters away from them, head down, pretending to play on her phone, while she could faintly hear the flirting coming from them.

Occasionally, she would look up for a peek. Their positioning, perhaps due to propriety or the influence of being in public, looked like that of ordinary friends, but their eyes were clearly already "threading silk" (gazing longingly/flirting).

Tsk tsk, is this what love is?

The key is that both of them were so pleasing to the eyes.

Full, so full.

Wen Qi felt that she was already full from "shipping" them.
