Chapter 209 The Cooperation Gone? A Small Matter
“This child is spoiled by you. This family will be ruined by him sooner or later,” Mr. Lu said, finding the scene extremely offensive.
This time, Lu's mother remained silent, leaving Lu Xuhang unsure whether to sit or stand.
"sit down."
Upon hearing his father's words, Lu Xuhang quickly sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Today I just saw a pretty girl and asked to add her as a friend. At most, I upset her, but I didn't do anything else," Lu Xuhang concluded after trying to recall what happened today.
"Is there nothing else?" Mr. Lu looked at his son with suspicion.
"That's all. At most, the people around me said some unpleasant things, and of course, what I said wasn't pleasant either."
After listening, Mr. Lu pondered for a moment, "Then it shouldn't be caused by your matter, it shouldn't be that serious."
"Dad, what happened?" Lu Xuhang asked, looking at his father's troubled expression.
"What do you, a child, know about business matters?"
"I'm so old, how would I understand if you didn't tell me?"
Seeing this scene, Lu's mother pursed her lips.
I don't know who's really indulging them.
"Today, our partner suddenly said they're not going to cooperate anymore. This is a 10 billion yuan project, gone just like that. What a huge loss that is!" Mr. Lu said angrily, his voice rising slightly.
"Oh, this is it." Lu Xuhang nodded calmly.
"That's it? That's 10 billion! The future profits will far exceed this amount. This is just the beginning. Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. It seems necessary to take you to the company for training, otherwise you'll really become a spoiled brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun." Mr. Lu's tone was somewhat disappointed at the end.
"Oh, Dad, that's not what I meant. I meant that if it was her who did it, this is a relatively lenient punishment, which means she is willing to let us off the hook. It's just a small lesson."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu was momentarily stunned. "What do you mean? Is this a small lesson?"
“Yes.” Lu Xuhang said with great certainty, thinking of the Liu family’s fate.
"Who exactly have you offended?"
“Sister Xi,” Lu Xuhang replied weakly.
"Sister Xi? You actually offended her?"
After hearing this, Mr. Lu immediately picked up his phone and dialed the number. "No need to investigate. Just leave it at that. Be polite to the other party. Even if we don't cooperate, we can still be friends."
The assistant on the other end of the phone, who was trying to find the cause, was stunned when he heard the voice coming from the phone.
What happened? Did he take the wrong medicine?
However, as a qualified assistant, all you need to do is follow instructions.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Lu patted his chest, feeling a lingering sense of fear.
"It's alright, it's just a collaboration."
He didn't want to end up like the Liu family, going bankrupt overnight.
"We'll visit them sometime later, and you can go too. Also, remember to control your temper in the future. There are too many people stronger than us, and you might accidentally kick a hornet's nest."
"understood."
……
"System, what exactly is this plant used for?" Lin Xi stared at the sky. "And when will the system be able to store items?"
The system's eyes darted around in the space, and it answered weakly, "Actually, I already activated the storage space at level three, but I forgot about it."
Lin Xi paused for a moment before slowly nodding, "Then tell me about the uses of this herb."
"This can only be used after the host levels up to the next level. I'll tell you all about it then," the system replied again.
Lin Xi, however, keenly sensed a hint of unease in its tone. She waved her hand, and the system materialized and nestled beside her.
"Meow."
Lin Xi gently stroked its head and said in a soft voice, "It's okay, go to sleep and rest."
The system meowed again and then drifted off to sleep with Lin Xi.
Around midnight, the blankets stirred, and in an instant, a beam of light vanished into thin air.
Lin Xi kept her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she ultimately did not open them.
.......
In the early morning, Lin Xi opened her eyes, stretched, and several message notifications popped up.
[Zhiling: Xixi, have you checked Weibo?]
[Zhiling: Xixi, your money has been transferred to you.]
[Zhi Ling: Xi Xi, you're famous! You've become a rising star as a voice actress.]
Lin Xi gathered her thoughts.
[XiXi: Okay.]
Zhiling excitedly opened Xixi's reply, and a single "good" instantly calmed her down.
This girl is a little too calm.
Just then, another phone call came in.
"Hello, are you Ms. Lin Xi?"
A pleasant male voice came from the other end, his tone very gentle.
"Yes."
"Here's the thing, I'm the official person in charge of the Whale platform. Could we invite you to give a lecture at Whale? Of course, the salary is negotiable." The other party stated their request directly and bluntly.
Lin Xi really likes this direct approach, since nobody wants to waste time.
"Tell me the time, and I'll take a look."
"How about 7 pm tomorrow? We can start promoting it today." The other person was as if afraid she would change her mind, and hurriedly tried to finalize the matter.
"Row."
Lin Xi thought about it and realized she had nothing planned for tomorrow. Besides, how could she refuse an event that could increase her fame?
"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. Please add me as a friend later, and I'll send you the details of the benefits. If everything is fine, please sign it. Thank you for your help."
After the friendly conversation ended, Lin Xi quickly received a friend request.
Lin Xi approved it immediately, and just then, another message popped up.
[Wei Jue (Duan Zexuan): Xi Xi, I recently got a voice acting job for a drama, the male lead, but I can't seem to get into the role. Could you try dubbing with me?]
[XiXi: Okay.]
[Wei Jue (Duan Zexuan): Okay, let's go to Whale Audio then, the sound quality there is pretty good.]
[XiXi: Online.]
Upon seeing this reply, Duan Zexuan's face lit up with a hint of joy, and his slender fingers immediately tapped the software.
He could actually find many people, including some who proactively said they were looking for someone he clicked with, but he didn't want to.
This is a romance novel, and he hopes the object of his affection is her, even if it's just for a fleeting moment in the story.
"Welcome, Xixi."
"Why are you acting like you're in a live stream?" Shi Qing (Lin Xi) said as soon as she got on the mic.
"I've gotten used to it."
"How are you going to try it? Will it expose anything prematurely?"
"No, it's the novel with the highest click-through rate and positive reviews recently. I'll send you that excerpt," Duan Zexuan said slowly, his already gentle voice becoming even softer.
"Weijue, it's been so long since we last met, I've missed you so much."
A girl came in and immediately went on the microphone, her voice carrying a slightly coquettish tone.
