System: Master Your Life-Chapter 633 - 160: Xu Lin Forced to Take the Job

After showering, the two returned to their room.

Ning Yuhuan was working on her homework.

As for Xu Lin, he had already picked out three songs to give to Xie Ting.

They were two love songs and one folk song.

There are nine episodes left of the show "Singer."

Whenever Xie Ting needs to perform on stage, Xu Lin wants him to sing new songs.

Xu Lin’s goal is to make Xie Ting a trending new-generation singer, even a top-tier artist.

Xie Ting himself has good basic qualities, his looks and height are not lacking, and as a singer, his singing skills under Xu Lin’s training have become very good. Thirdly, his stage performance ability, which Xie Ting has explored himself, is also quite impressive.

So overall, Xie Ting’s various conditions are already very good.

Add in the support of Xu Lin’s works.

There’s absolutely no reason for Xie Ting not to become popular.

On the other hand, Xie Ting is great at dealing with people. Xu Lin particularly likes this student because whenever Xu Lin gives him a song, Xie Ting transfers two million over, and for three songs, that’s six million. He doesn’t take them for free, even increases each song by a hundred thousand compared to previous songs, and proactively gets Xu Lin’s contract terms sorted out.

Xu Lin likes people like Xie Ting, who understand what value exchange is. No wonder he’s the child of a wealthy family.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Many don’t get this concept. Take Xu Lin writing songs for others, for instance; if it weren’t Xie Ting but someone else, they might not even express gratitude.

Actually, Xie Ting hadn’t thought about this initially, but he mentioned it to his parents. Xie Ting said that his mentor Mr. Xu always wrote songs for him. His dad asked, "Does Mr. Xu write for free?" Xie Ting explained that Mr. Xu never mentioned anything, resulting in his dad immediately banging the table, saying, "You brat, not paying him yet? He’s your benefactor; you should do everything properly and clearly to satisfy him. If you keep reaching out without paying, he won’t support you in the future."

It’s not that Xie Ting’s dad feared Xie Ting would suffer a loss, but all contracts and money matters were handled to clarify interests and responsibilities.

This was partly the reason, but a bigger reason is that when you encounter a benefactor in life, you think simply saying thank you is enough? What a joke, it’s about value exchange. A benefactor should see enough benefit in you to consider you worth supporting, knowing you can help earn money and accomplish things, only then will they continue to invest in you. As you grow, it’s a win-win, not just "thanks, mentor" and being done with it. It’s the beginning. To go further and have a long-term relationship with a benefactor, you must let them see your valuable long-term potential. In short, work hard.

After receiving the songs, "Thanks, mentor, I’ll transfer the money to you tomorrow!"

Xu Lin: "Ok, no problem."

Xu Lin briefed him on some matters before logging off.

The time reached eleven o’clock.

"Senior Sister, time for sleep."

"Oh, oh."

Ning Yuhuan closed her book and stretched.

Xu Lin picked her up, turned off the lights, and then climbed onto the bed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"How about going to the library tomorrow?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"Mm-hmm, let’s go to the library."

"After we go to the library, we can then have lunch and I’ll send you back to school in the afternoon."

Ning Yuhuan nodded, snuggling in Xu Lin’s arms.

The next morning, the two had breakfast and then headed to the city library.

Xu Lin continued reading, and Ning Yuhuan continued studying.

Everything proceeded as usual.

Before they knew it, the afternoon had arrived.

They had stayed in the city library for over six hours before leaving.

Then they went out to enjoy a seafood hot pot meal.

At five-thirty, Xu Lin drove the electric scooter to take her back to school.

This was just the time for dinner service at the school cafeteria, where Ning Yuhuan’s three dormmates, Liu Yuqing and the others, were returning from the cafeteria with food and saw the two.

"Wow! Junior, long time no see!"

Liu Yuqing quickly approached, being quite bold, even patting Xu Lin on the shoulder.

"Senior Sister has become prettier lately!"

Xu Lin smoothly paid her a compliment.

"Oh, I’m nowhere near as pretty as your girlfriend!"

Liu Yuqing laughed happily, "But Junior, you’ve obviously become more handsome!"

Huang Yiran looked at Xu Lin and said, "Junior, have you grown taller?"

"Clearly that’s just your illusion, but I’ve indeed grown just over a centimeter taller than last semester, although a centimeter isn’t quite noticeable to the eye."

"How tall, you seem so tall!"

"Just over 188 centimeters?"

"No wonder you’re so tall!" Huang Yiran compared her height with Xu Lin’s, finding she just reached Xu Lin’s chin.

"Junior, can you sign an autograph for the three of us? We’ve all bought your book, and we’re fans of yours!"

Xu Jinjie then spoke up.

Since they were Ning Yuhuan’s dormmates, and all three dormmates seemed genuinely nice, not the scheming type.

"Where are the books? I’ll sign them for you."

"Junior, wait a second, I’ll go fetch the books now."

Xu Jinjie promptly went to get all of their books.

She was quick, returning within four minutes.

"Here you go!"

Xu Jinjie was a bit out of breath.

Xu Lin: "One book per person, whose is whose? Senior Sister Xu first?"

"This one’s mine!"

Xu Jinjie said.

Xu Lin: "Then I’ll write ’Wishing Senior Sister Xu Jinjie finds a good boyfriend,’ how’s that?"

Xu Jinjie: "No, write ’Wishing Senior Sister Xu Jinjie finds an exceptionally handsome boyfriend.’"
