Chapter 608: Chapter 152: Journey to the Capital City, First Meeting with Pei Danqing, Xu Lin’s Verbal Duel with the Old Man (Part 4)

Xu Lin is all about the results theory. What is results theory? For example, if a guy claims he’s impressive and wealthy, but you see what he wears, uses, and where he lives, nothing is expensive, and he either has no woman by his side or his woman is ugly and unrefined, then he’s just bragging. On the other hand, if someone drives a luxury car, lives in a mansion, and has beautiful women around him, he doesn’t even need to speak; everyone knows that this person is definitely a top-tier figure.

That’s results theory.

"You!"

The old man was momentarily speechless. It’s not that he doesn’t go online; he even made a point to learn about this Mr. Xu, and realized that this young man indeed has substance. But old man is unwilling to admit it; the waves of the Yangtze River push the old ahead, and the old fear being washed ashore, their status threatened by a youngster. How many from the older generation can withstand this? This group of old men has been standing atop the clouds for too long, afraid of falling; they are too afraid of losing.

"Mr. Xu, is it? You show very little respect for the veterans in this circle, don’t you?"

Xiao Minghua seized the opportunity to suppress Xu Lin, "Even if you have talent, those climbing up the mountain shouldn’t mock the gods coming down, and Mr. Wu hasn’t even come down the mountain yet!"

Xu Lin looked at him, not obliging, and immediately spoke: "If you’re a layman, then you have no qualification to point fingers at me. Those who understand music know that Mr. Xu is no ordinary person. Anyone in this circle will understand that I am a towering mountain that countless people spend their lifetime unable to surpass. If you are not in this circle, you don’t have the right to question me!"

"You!"

Xiao Minghua was stunned, thinking this little brat actually dared to retort, does he not know who he’s dealing with?

And such an arrogant tone?

Others present were shocked too, thinking this Mr. Xu is way too gutsy, whoever insults him, he immediately fires back at them? And he does it without using any vulgar words.

Whoa!

Too impressive!

Xiao Minghua continued, "Director Pei, look at this person, isn’t he so rude? I believe talented individuals should demonstrate virtue, and as the saying goes, without merit, talent invites disaster. If a person is only talented but lacks corresponding morals, I believe this person has major issues, and judging by his arrogant tone, although I acknowledge his talent, he clearly shows no respect for others, which evidences his poor character..."

"Can you handle this?"

Director Pei’s beautiful eyes flickered, not responding to Xiao Minghua, viewing this sharply outstanding young man differently.

"If I lacked substance, I wouldn’t have accepted this task. This program is aimed at the broad public, especially countless young students. I’m well aware that I must be responsible for them, and I will certainly go all out. if I lack enough capability, then I wouldn’t dare stand on this stage."

The eighteen-year-old Xu Lin was full of spirit, speaking confidently.

Director Pei nodded, "Okay, I believe in you."

Xiao Minghua instantly panicked, why is Dandan actually trusting this little brat?

Where did something go wrong?

Xiao Minghua opened his mouth again, "Director Pei..."

"Okay, don’t talk anymore!"

Pei Danqing directly interrupted him. Judging by her expression, Director Pei seemed quite annoyed by Xiao Minghua.

Then, the meal continued, though no dishes had been served yet; it was actually a motivational meeting before the program’s formal shooting.

Now dishes began arriving gradually.

The meeting lasted over an hour, and the meal took another hour or more, totaling two to three hours altogether.

Xu Lin walked out of the hotel, it was already past nine in the evening, the sky had been dark for a long time.

He took out his phone, planning to call a taxi back to the hotel.

At this moment, a gray BMW M4 stopped not far from him.

As the window opened, Xu Lin saw Pei Danqing.

"Hop in!"

Seeing Director Pei waving, Xu Lin immediately walked over.

Shortly after, Xu Lin sat in the passenger seat, while Xiao Minghua, watching from behind, felt his world collapsing.

But Xiao Minghua was yet to face the real collapse, for afterwards, he also followed Director Pei’s car.

Meanwhile, in the car.

"Do you have a place to stay?"

Director Pei asked him.

Xu Lin initially wanted to say he had booked a hotel.

But he changed his mind and just said, "This is my first time visiting Capital City, I haven’t found a place yet, does Director Pei have any recommendations?"

"Let me see."

Director Pei said.

After a while, Pei Danqing said again: "Those two just then, the old man, and the other slicked back guy, don’t mind their words, especially the old one, old hands like them love throwing their weight around, don’t bother about them. Actually, he hasn’t produced any works for a long time; his talent waned years ago, but he has status in the circle and enjoys pointing fingers. Only, I don’t control the entire program decisions; otherwise, I would directly kick this old man out."

After a pause, Pei Danqing added, "You, on the other hand, were specifically summoned by me; I don’t like those old folks who enjoy politicking."

"Thank you, Director Pei, for recognizing my value." Xu Lin suddenly understood.

Pei Danqing chuckled, "You have quite a character; most would have swallowed it."

"I thought, at worst, I’ll just walk away. It’s not like I absolutely need this gig."

"You have confidence, courage and wisdom, and sharpness; I like your personality."

Pei Danqing commented nonchalantly.

The two chatted casually as time went by.

Later on, Pei Danqing pointed towards the courtyard ahead saying, "You can stay here tonight."

"Capital City has courtyard hotels?" Xu Lin thought he must have missed something.

"This is my home!"

"Stay at your place?"

"Yes."

Director Pei nodded.

Xu Lin stopped talking, afraid she would change her mind.

Soon, Pei Danqing parked the car outside, leading Xu Lin inside through the courtyard’s main gate.

Xu Lin thought there’d be Pei Danqing’s family here, yet there wasn’t.

Seemingly, she lived alone.

Courtyards, in Capital City, are a very unique existence.

Moreover, this isn’t a courtyard outside the Sixth Ring, but a courtyard in the Old Capital City within the Second Ring. The former may be hundreds of thousands; the latter’s worth falls into nine figures.

After entering the courtyard, Xu Lin thought it’s no wonder people were so courteous to her tonight; Pei Danqing must have significant influence, but it makes sense—unless she had substantial background, how could a young woman in her twenties be in charge, and why would everyone treat her with respect?

Capability?

Are you extremely capable?

Do you think you’re the likes of Huo Qubing, who appears once every few thousand years?

At this time, Pei Danqing said, "I live alone here, it’s quite lonely, you can consider this as adding some liveliness for me."

"I thought it might be inconvenient."

"I haven’t said it’s inconvenient, you don’t need to overthink."

"Alright."

Xu Lin stopped being polite; this was his first time staying in a courtyard.

Out of curiosity, he sought Pei Danqing’s permission to roam around inside.

He was genuinely curious about the mysteries within a courtyard.

This courtyard wasn’t small; the standard courtyard is about four hundred square meters, Pei Danqing’s is estimated at five to six hundred square meters, decidedly not small.

At this moment, Xu Lin slowly strolled around, wanting to see what a courtyard truly looks like.

As he wandered, Xu Lin reached Pei Danqing’s laundry area.

He saw her clothes, he saw her underwear.

Oh my gosh!

What big lanterns!

Tonight, Pei Danqing’s shirt hem was tucked into her pencil skirt, but not tightly, making the top look loose; Xu Lin hadn’t noticed.

Didn’t expect Director Pei to be so well-hidden!

Is this figure even better than big sister Chi Linyue?
