213: Talent scouts came to their door
Over the next few days, Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi cast everything aside and fully enjoyed their two-person vacation.
They rented a professional boat to go fishing out at sea and even went diving with equipment.
They took a ferry to admire the beautiful scenery of the coast and spent an entire day playing at a nearby amusement park.
Under the guidance of professionals, they also experienced surfing while being towed by a speedboat, though the surfing locations were all in safe coastal waters.
They ate seafood feasts, tried all the local snacks, and visited the aquarium.
A week passed by very quickly, and they would be heading back home tomorrow.
So, in the afternoon, the two of them didn't go anywhere. They stayed in front of their Sea-View House, lying on two adjacent lounge chairs under a parasol, comfortably enjoying the sea breeze and admiring the endless ocean before them.
Every now and then, they would exchange a few words and sip on cold drinks, feeling perfectly content.
However, as evening approached, this tranquility was ruined by two uninvited guests.
Having completely relaxed, the two of them did not notice a man in his thirties and another in his forties approaching within seven or eight meters of them.
As the two men looked at Chen Yuxi's curvaceous and sexy figure, as well as her flawless, peerless, and breathtaking beauty, their eyes went wide.
Chen Yuxi felt the scorching gaze of the others and instinctively looked in their direction.
Upon seeing the two men, Chen Yuxi let out a startled cry and sat up in panic.
Lin Zifeng stood up and asked in confusion, "Wife, what's wrong?"
After asking, he followed Chen Yuxi's gaze and saw the two men a few meters away. He frowned and instinctively blocked Chen Yuxi from their view.
"Who are you? What do you want here?" Lin Zifeng asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Sir, please don't misunderstand. We have no ill intentions; in fact, we've come to bring you two a great opportunity. I am Shao Zongze, the Deputy Manager of Starlight Entertainment Media Company. This is my business card."
The older middle-aged man said this while handing the business card in his hand to Lin Zifeng.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was decent enough, Lin Zifeng took the business card and said calmly, "I don't know what business President Shao has with my wife and me?"
"Sir, didn't President Shao just say? We are here this time to bring you both a great opportunity. I am Qiao Xingchen, a Scout for Starlight Entertainment Media Company. I happened to meet you both at the aquarium yesterday, and I immediately determined that you are both perfectly suited to be idol stars."
"With your looks, it's truly a gift from heaven! To show how much we value you, I specifically notified President Shao so we could come together to discuss a collaboration with you both."
"I have already prepared the contracts in advance and brought them along. As long as you sign with our Starlight Entertainment Media Company, we can guarantee that in no time, you will both become incredibly famous."
The man in his thirties, who called himself a Scout, Qiao Xingchen, talked eloquently while taking two contracts out of his briefcase.
"Xiao Qiao is right. With your physical appearance, as long as you sign with our company, I guarantee you will become famous in the future. For ordinary people, this is a massive opportunity; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a meteoric rise. Take a look at the contracts, and if you don't see any issues, let's sign!"
Shao Zongze said in a seductive tone, and Qiao Xingchen timely handed the contracts to Lin Zifeng.
Lin Zifeng didn't even look at the contracts in their hands. They would never sign with them to be some idol stars, so why would he look at their contracts?
Lin Zifeng said indifferently, "Thank you both for your appreciation and interest, but my wife and I will not be signing with you to become stars. I'm afraid you've made this trip for nothing. Please, be on your way!"
The two men were stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Zifeng to refuse so decisively.
"Mr. Lin, you should really reconsider! Such a great opportunity; you won't find it elsewhere," Qiao Xingchen said urgently.
"Xiao Qiao is right. You must think this through! If you give up such a chance to rise to the top, you will definitely regret it," Shao Zongze also chimed in to persuade them.
"We will not regret it. There is no need for you two to continue persuading us," Lin Zifeng refused in a firm tone.
Seeing him continue to refuse without hesitation, the two men exchanged glances and turned their gaze toward Chen Yuxi, who was behind Lin Zifeng.
"Ms. Chen, even though Mr. Lin doesn't want to sign as an artist and you are husband and wife, he shouldn't be able to make decisions for you! With your physical appearance, if you agree to sign with our company, I guarantee that within a year, our company will package and mold you into a top-tier female star."
"All of the company's connections and resources will be poured into you. At that time, your life will be accompanied by camera flashes, shining as bright as the stars, and you will be worshipped and pursued by others. From then on, your life will be completely transformed, escaping the mundane life of daily chores. Please, consider it seriously," Shao Zongze said with great temptation.
Chen Yuxi found it amusing and was just about to refuse when Lin Zifeng spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"My wife and I are one; I can represent my wife's wishes. You two should stop pestering us and leave immediately! We are going back to rest."
After saying this, he took Chen Yuxi's hand and prepared to turn back to the Sea-View House, but was called out by Qiao Xingchen.
"Wait, Mr. Lin. You cannot be so selfish. Although Ms. Chen is your wife, she is not your accessory. She has the right to make her own choices."
"President Shao is right. Mr. Lin, you cannot be so selfish. Ms. Chen's peerless beauty should not be buried by your overbearing selfishness. Ms. Chen should appear on the big screen for everyone to admire and praise. In doing so, not only can Ms. Chen's value be realized, but she can also contribute to the arts. If you continue to prevent such a mutually beneficial good thing, you are being selfish and self-interested, and someone like you is simply not worthy of Ms. Chen."
After saying this, Qiao Xingchen looked at Chen Yuxi and said, "Ms. Chen, such a man is simply not worthy of your love. You must think this through! There are plenty of handsome men in the entertainment industry; as long as you make the right choice, your future will be infinitely promising."
Hearing what the two said, Lin Zifeng laughed out of anger. Just as he was about to rebuke them, Chen Yuxi squeezed his hand firmly.
Subsequently, Chen Yuxi let go of his hand and walked a few steps to stand in front of the two men.
Amidst their expectant and happy gazes, she took the contracts from Qiao Xingchen's hand.
"The relationship between my husband and me does not need outsiders to gossip about. I have zero interest in what you are saying. I have tolerated you for long enough. Get out of our sight immediately; seeing you makes me feel annoyed."
After saying this quickly, she forcefully threw the two contracts at them and turned back to Lin Zifeng's side.
While linking her arms with Lin Zifeng's, she said, "Husband, let's go back! It's not worth wasting time on people like this."
