16: That's the look of youth

The middle-aged woman took a photo of Li Qinghe and Nguyen Thi Linh; their matching outfits made them look very compatible.

After taking their photo, the woman gave Nguyen Thi Linh some advice about staying safe and taking care of herself.

After speaking, she tidied Nguyen Thi Linh's clothes, then turned and went back into the factory.

"Brother, this is an auntie from the village, she lives right next to our house and is very close with Mom; she's the one who brought me out to work," Nguyen Thi Linh quietly told Li Qinghe after waving goodbye to the woman.

"Then call Mom and tell her you're leaving the factory today and starting to work with me," he said.

Nguyen Thi Linh obediently walked aside to make the call.

"Brother, I've made the call; Mom told me to work hard," Nguyen Thi Linh said, standing beside Li Qinghe after finishing her call.

"A Ling, get on," Li Qinghe nodded, placed Nguyen Thi Linh's suitcase horizontally on the front footrest, and then handed her the helmet.

Nguyen Thi Linh was wearing ripped jeans today, so she could easily straddle Li Qinghe's back seat.

Raising her long legs to swing over, she placed her hands on Li Qinghe's broad shoulders; sitting in the back seat, Nguyen Thi Linh felt a sense of security.

Starting today, she was heading towards a new life.

As Li Qinghe started the motorcycle and headed towards the rental house, Nguyen Thi Linh held tightly onto his shoulders in front of her, as if holding onto her own future.

The wind brushed across her face, tousling her hair, making Nguyen Thi Linh feel that today's weather was especially comfortable.

Holding onto his strong shoulders, Nguyen Thi Linh quietly leaned her soft body against Li Qinghe's broad back.

A feeling she had never experienced before slowly spread from her heart.

Li Qinghe felt her soft body pressing against him and couldn't help but straighten his back even more.

The two of them felt each other's warmth in this silent atmosphere.

Time passed unknowingly for several tens of minutes.

Li Qinghe brought Nguyen Thi Linh back to the rental house.

"Brother, it's so beautiful," Nguyen Thi Linh exclaimed, her mouth slightly agape as she looked at the newly decorated room.

These past few days, with a sufficient budget, Li Qinghe had spent some money to buy a beautiful bed, covered with pink pillows and a light pink thin quilt.

At the same time, he also fulfilled Nguyen Thi Linh's request and bought her a pink floor fan, which was very cute in design, with two pretty cat ears on top of the fan.

Nguyen Thi Linh had never seen a fan with such a design, and it perfectly satisfied her girlish heart.

The simple wardrobe next to it allowed her to put all her clothes inside, and the wardrobe door was a full-length mirror.

By the window, there was even a beautiful dressing table.

"A Ling, you organize your room first, then change into a dress and come out later; the clothes we bought last time are all in the wardrobe," Li Qinghe said with a smile, helping Nguyen Thi Linh push her suitcase into her room.

"I've bought you new towels and toothbrushes; they're in the bathroom."

As he was about to leave, Li Qinghe turned back and added another instruction.

"Thank you, Brother, I really like it here."

Looking at Li Qinghe's back, Nguyen Thi Linh sincerely thanked him, and at the same time, secretly resolved to work diligently with Li Qinghe.

When Li Qinghe left, he carefully closed the door for Nguyen Thi Linh, as she would still need to change clothes.

Changing clothes in front of a man was probably something Nguyen Thi Linh couldn't accept yet.

Li Qinghe wasn't a particularly impatient person; since he had eaten his fill last night, he wasn't very hungry, and he preferred a mutually willing development in their relationship.

So he would be mindful of his actions, so as not to scare away this sweet and gentle factory beauty right away.

While waiting for Nguyen Thi Linh to tidy her room, Li Qinghe returned to his room to continue editing videos; many materials needed Chinese language subtitles.

This way, domestic fans wouldn't have difficulty watching.

After about half an hour, Li Qinghe had processed two video clips using the Kuaishou dedicated editing software when he heard a soft voice from the doorway.

"Brother, do you think this dress suits me?"

Li Qinghe turned his head and his eyes lit up.

Nguyen Thi Linh was wearing a pink short dress; although the style was simple, it beautifully outlined the girl's slender figure and long legs.

The girl stood gracefully in the room, her lips slightly pursed, her eyes revealing an expectation of being affirmed.

Nguyen Thi Linh

To describe her in a more artistic way, Nguyen Thi Linh at this moment was the epitome of youth.

"A Ling, this dress is very beautiful; I really like it."

Li Qinghe praised Nguyen Thi Linh's outfit without reservation, bringing a joyful smile to the innocent girl's face.

What she hoped for was Li Qinghe's affirmation.

"A Ling, come help me get some things; just put them in that backpack."

Now that Nguyen Thi Linh was ready, Li Qinghe put down his editing work and prepared to take her out to shoot some footage first.

Logically, having just brought her back today, Nguyen Thi Linh should rest for a day.

But Li Qinghe knew that if Nguyen Thi Linh stayed idle for a day, she would have many thoughts, which would not be conducive to her working well for Li Qinghe.

In that case, it was better to take her to shoot; having something to do meant no time for overthinking.

Sports cameras, drones, lavalier microphones, and a series of other equipment all needed to be taken out; while shooting, he would also test the functions of various devices.

Because the filming equipment Li Qinghe ordered on an international e-commerce platform in China had also arrived yesterday.

The speed of freight could not be said to be slow; this was all because many domestic e-commerce platforms were actively expanding into the Southeast Asia market.

Vietnam is right next to China, and many Chinese companies have relocated their production here.

Correspondingly, the speed of logistics and express delivery has also been boosted.

So, the items Li Qinghe ordered could arrive within a few days, just in time for today's shoot.

"Brother, what are we going to shoot today?" Nguyen Thi Linh took a equipment bag and stuffed it into the backpack Li Qinghe indicated.

Helping to organize things made her feel the joy of working.

This job had no supervisors, she didn't have to wear a stuffy hat, didn't have to worry about touching a hot soldering iron, and could even wear pretty dresses.

Such a scene had been swirling in Nguyen Thi Linh's mind for several days.

Today, it finally appeared in reality, making Nguyen Thi Linh's mood instantly a little excited.

She asked Li Qinghe the names of various filming equipment with a touch of curiosity, then carefully placed the equipment into the backpack with a hint of seriousness.

As a video UP owner without a team for now, Li Qinghe currently held multiple roles: director, screenwriter, and photographer were all handled by him alone.

So, when his only female protagonist at the moment asked about the filming content, he briefly thought about the process and then explained today's filming content to Nguyen Thi Linh.

"Ah? Brother, aren't we deceiving people like this?"

The kind Nguyen Thi Linh felt a little embarrassed when she heard that they had to pretend to meet for the first time, believing that this was deceiving fans.

"A Ling, only if we shoot like this will fans like it more, and with the support of fans, Brother can afford to support you..."

Li Qinghe's simple yet profound analysis made Nguyen Thi Linh clearly realize that for her and Li Qinghe to survive on this video platform, they had to shoot content that fans loved to watch.

Otherwise, she would have to go back to working on the factory assembly line.

Thinking of the consequence of returning to work on the factory assembly line, Nguyen Thi Linh's face turned pale with fright, and she finally twisted her inner perception that such filming was deceiving fans.

However, after her mindset shifted, a strange sense of pleasure welled up in her heart, as if a good girl of a thousand years had suddenly experienced the thrill of doing something bad.

"Brother, I'll listen to you; let's hurry and go shoot."

In order for Li Qinghe to post videos and earn money sooner, Nguyen Thi Linh instead urged him to hurry and go shoot.
