Chapter 72: Anything Goes?

That’s right, Dou Beast Livestream belonged to the male lead too!

Ling Xiaoli raised a hand to her forehead, marveling at how slow she had been to realize it.

But she couldn’t really be blamed for not knowing.

In the original novel, Luo Zhaoyin was with Maoya Livestream in the early stages. Dou Beast Livestream simply didn’t exist at all.

Later on, Luo Zhaoyin opened her own studio and went independent. She never signed with Lin Cheng’s company either, though she did collaborate quite a bit with Starlight Entertainment.

So could it be that because Luo Zhaoyin was strong-willed and unwilling to accept Lin Cheng’s help, Lin Cheng wanted to help her but couldn’t, and thus settled for the next best thing by winning over her close friend?

Meow!

She wasn’t strong-willed at all. She had absolutely no problem clinging to a powerful backer!

Not bad, not bad. This young man really knew how to behave~

Just based on this treatment alone, Lin Cheng, rest assured!

I’ll definitely help you win A-Yin over as soon as possible!

Ahem.

She wasn’t selling out her friend for personal gain.

It could only be called a destined marriage with a little human acceleration.

And today’s role must have been because A-Yin mentioned it to Lin Cheng yesterday, and Lin Cheng then had someone arrange it.

Otherwise, how would the company have known that she had gone to audition for Su Daji and failed?

She hadn’t expected that in just a few days, Lin Cheng had already managed to learn about this from A-Yin.

Lin Cheng was making pretty good progress!

But she couldn’t keep taking advantage of him for free either.

She would sign a new contract with Starlight Entertainment as soon as she returned!

Ling Xiaoli thought about it happily.

Oh, right.

Since Lin Cheng knew how to behave, she couldn’t fail to show some understanding herself.

She should give him a call to thank him!

She could also owe him another meal. Then she could bring Luo Zhaoyin along again, creating more opportunities for the two of them to spend time together.

Hehe, she really was a perfectly competent Cupid!

Ling Xiaoli was happily lost in her own thoughts.

However, she had no idea that her entire line of reasoning had been wrong from the very beginning.

In fact, an ordinary person probably wouldn’t have made such a connection at all.

But Ling Xiaoli knew so much about the original novel’s plot that the more she knew, the further off track her thoughts became.

………

C City, Starlight Entertainment Building.

Lin Cheng was carefully going over the details of a proposal, making various marks and annotations on it.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

He casually glanced at it.

Ling Xiaoli.

He withdrew his gaze.

Wait.

Ling Xiaoli?

He immediately turned back, picked up his phone, and looked at the screen.

Why was Ling Xiaoli suddenly calling him?

His heart instantly beat a little faster, and he hurriedly answered.

“Hello, is this Mr. Lin? I’m Ling Xiaoli.”

Ling Xiaoli’s voice was still as soft and sweet as ever.

Pleasant to hear…

“Mm, it’s me. Hello, Miss Ling.”

“Thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to be in The Investiture of the Gods, hahaha. Mr. Lin, I owe you another favor. I’ll treat you to a meal another day!”

Hmm?

How did Ling Xiaoli know that he was the one who had intervened?

Was it… Feng Weiyuan?

Lin Cheng thought about it as he spoke.

“No need to thank me. It was just a small favor. The group has an obligation to secure opportunities for its artists. Besides, the most important thing is that you have the ability to take the role in the first place, so there’s no need for you to treat me to a meal.”

“You can’t put it that way. There are plenty of talented people out there, but opportunities are hard to come by. So I still have to thank you, Mr. Lin. Just let me treat you to a meal!”

“Really, there’s no need.”

Lin Cheng refused.

He didn’t need Ling Xiaoli’s gratitude.

But then, he suddenly thought of something and changed his mind.

“Since Miss Ling says you owe me a personal favor, then how about you simply owe me one thing? Don’t worry, I won’t put you in a difficult position.”

“Uh… Sure! No problem! Then it’s settled! Don’t worry, you can ask me to do anything!”

Anything?

Lin Cheng immediately took that statement the wrong way.

But he instantly realized that his thoughts were inappropriate and quickly pushed them aside.
