Chapter 3 Tolerance
"Of course, if it weren't for this young man, your dad might already be reporting to the King of Hell."
Old Lin, perhaps sensing Yu Huan's unease, made a joke, then helped the limping warrior Yu Huan and led him into his home with the door wide open.
Yu Huan couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Lin Yourong?
Judging by her looks, Lin Su is definitely the best choice.
So, is Lin Su a stage name?
Once inside.
Then I saw two pairs of couple slippers placed in the entryway.
The shoes were embroidered with cartoon characters that Yu Huan was extremely familiar with from the depths of his memory.
One is Rainbow Cat, and the other is Blue Rabbit.
Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen - such a great animated series, yet it has been banned.
Chinese children's animation should not only consist of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf fighting Bald Qiang.
That awful parental power!
"Change your shoes first, Xiao Yu. Now that you're at your uncle's house, don't stand on ceremony."
Old Lin released Yu Huan's hand and turned to greet her.
Yu Huan put down her cane, squatted down, and picked up a rainbow cat.
Why only one?
Because his left leg is still in a cast, he can't wear two shoes!
Then, I sat on the shoe stool against the wall.
He kept his eyes straight ahead and caught a glimpse of Lin Yourong silently bending down to change out of her boots and put on her blue rabbit slippers.
With its long, swan-like neck held high.
Gentle and elegant.
The bright window opposite the shoe cabinet in the entryway was wide open, and the sunlight shone in, making the fine downy hair on her profile glow with a faint golden light.
She's cool, beautiful, and aloof.
This was also my first impression of Lin Yourong.
It seems that his aloof demeanor during the recording of "The Voice of China" wasn't just a persona.
This "gold digger" seems a bit too tempting; rich women aren't so easy to hook up with.
Holding Rainbow Cat.
One off, one set.
Done.
Old Lin helped him sit down on the sofa and said with a smile, "Little Yu, look at my daughter, doesn't she look a little familiar?"
Hear the words.
Yu Huan glanced back at Lin Yourong and saw her slipping on her slippers, her back to the door as she entered a room and closed it behind her.
It seems she didn't even glance at him.
He nodded emphatically: "Uncle, I know. I was quite startled at first, and a little unsure. It seems to be Lin Su from 'The Voice of China'?"
"Yes, that's her stage name." Old Lin sighed suddenly. "I couldn't persuade her. She's loved singing since she was little. As a girl, I didn't want her to show her face in the entertainment industry. But she kept quiet and went to Qiantang to participate in this program. Not only did she not win any awards, but she also has to cover her face when she goes out. She has no freedom at all."
"The Voice of China" is a phenomenal hit variety show that has swept the nation, especially since it was the very first season.
Lin Yourong also made it to the championship battle. Her popularity hadn't cooled down yet, and if she appeared anywhere in the country, she would probably be recognized by men, women, and children immediately.
However, Yu Huan knew very well that Lao Lin's words were definitely not about Versailles.
If Lao Lin really wanted to train his daughter to enter the entertainment industry, why would he need to travel all that way to Zhejiang TV to participate in a program?
What kind of place is Xingcheng?
This is home to Hunan TV, the number one satellite TV channel, and the entertainment capital!
Having been reborn, he was well aware of Lao Lin's connections.
Having personally experienced many of Lao Lin's deeds, his methods and courage are evident.
Perhaps in this father's eyes, Lin Yourong's behavior in the entertainment industry is no different from his daughter wearing a snow-white princess dress and rolling around in the mud.
Yu Huan leaned back with her hands on her hips, resting against the soft sofa back.
“My daughter doesn’t talk much to strangers, but she can be quite talkative when she’s with people she knows well.” Old Lin said, glancing at the closed door and frowning.
Yu Huan smiled faintly: "Oh~"
Cold exterior, warm heart? Social anxiety?
Human hearts are unpredictable, human nature is complex, I just can't understand them.
Perhaps Lao Lin's words were somewhat embellished: she simply tends to talk more with people she knows.
I couldn't help but think to myself, it's probably hard to become an acquaintance of a woman as swan-like as her.
Yu Huan pulled a cheap red plastic bag from the inside pocket of her trench coat, inside which was a disc-shaped object.
It was casually placed on the coffee table.
"Uncle Lin."
"Hey!"
“I have some tea cakes at home. I know you like to drink tea, so I brought them over so you and your aunt can enjoy them together.”
Uncle Lin bent down halfway, opened it, and glanced at it: "This raw Pu'er tea is quite old, it's been stored dry!"
"Yes!"
Based on Yu Huan's understanding of Lao Lin, showing up empty-handed wouldn't lower his profile, nor would it improve it.
Old Lin usually drinks both cigarettes and alcohol.
If someone thinks they're being sensible and makes a big show of bringing cigarettes and alcohol to someone's door, even if it's him, he won't just look at them with more respect, he'll definitely lose points—no matter how good the relationship is, you can't just give gifts casually!
Within the system, especially for leaders with great power, it's a major taboo to act openly.
If you bring some tea leaves, tear off the white cotton paper wrapping the tea cake, remove the manufacturing information, and put it in an unassuming plastic bag, saying you want to drink tea with him, that's a different story altogether.
Yu Huan wasn't so poor that she didn't even have money to buy clothes. In the end, she got two thousand yuan from Teacher Wu and used it all to buy this cake of aged Pu'er tea. She even had to pay a little out of her own pocket.
Old Lin ran his fingertips over the tea cake's strips, gave Yu Huan a meaningful look, and then beamed: "Not bad, this tea is good."
He gently patted Yu Huan's shoulder.
He then said, "Xiao Yu, please sit down for a moment. I'll go to the kitchen to get the tea set."
That's it.
Old Lin is not a leader who likes physical contact.
Cater to their preferences and give the gift discreetly.
That pat on the shoulder brought their relationship to the next level.
"Okay, Uncle Lin."
Yu Huan nodded hurriedly.
My gaze followed his unhurried steps until he opened the kitchen door.
The buzzing sound of the range hood immediately filled the living room.
His mother-in-law, whom he had visited at the hospital and met a few times, was busy cooking when she turned around and saw Yu Huan sitting on the sofa. She nodded to him with a dignified smile.
Yu Huan forcibly suppressed the word "mother-in-law" that almost slipped out. As a patient, he did not get up, but simply said "Hello, Auntie" as a greeting.
The door slowly closed automatically, and after a long while, Old Lin brought out a tea set and a kettle.
He placed everything on the coffee table, then turned and went to Lin Yourong's room. He stopped at the door and knocked.
A few moments.
Lin Yourong opened the door and came out, giving her father a reproachful look: "Dad, what are you doing? I'm changing my clothes!"
She was wearing a thick pink cotton pajama set, which made her look slightly bulky, with a large body and a small head.
That fleeting, charming expression gave her a youthful air that one would expect from someone in their twenties.
lovely!
Yu Huan stared at it, feeling as if she had been shot in the heart.
However, when Lin Yourong turned to look at him on the sofa, her face tightened again, and a cold and aloof aura enveloped her once more.
Keep away from strangers.
"Don't always stay in your room, you know?" Old Lin said earnestly, afraid that she would lock the door from the inside and not be able to come out. He really had no other choice.
"I know."
Even the thick trousers couldn't hide her long, slender legs as she moved. She moved a small stool, sat on one side of the coffee table, and turned on the TV with the remote control.
The first thing that catches the eye is Hunan TV.
"Let's Date" is being replayed.
Dating shows are currently very popular, and one of the best is Jiangsu TV's "If You Are the One".
These kinds of shows will stop at nothing to compete for ratings, using everything from artificially created beauties and single men and women to materialism, cramped living conditions, and freeloading off parents, as well as exposing marriage scams and trying to capitalize on social hot topics in various ways.
Hunan TV: We can no longer tolerate plagiarism.
Jiangsu TV: Similar programs are not plagiarism.
correct.
The reason why Hunan TV is so anxious is that although it bought the copyright, its ratings are low despite being an official broadcaster, and it has been overtaken and defeated by Jiangsu TV.
As the tides of time roll by, the only remaining symbolic representation of dating and matchmaking programs is "If You Are the One".
The moment the program appeared on screen, less than two seconds later, Lin Yourong, with lightning speed, switched to CCTV-14 Children's Channel.
The humorous Tom and Jerry soundtrack begins.
Yu Huan continued to pry open the tea cake with a tea needle, oblivious to everything else.
Old Lin, setting out the tea set, said with a seemingly casual smile, "Little Yu, what month is your birthday again?"
"The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."
"You Rong is born on the third day of the first lunar month. Hmm, let me do the math. If we're talking about the Gregorian calendar, you should be born in 1990, and she was born in 1989, so you're a year younger than her," Old Lin joked.
The words just fell.
Yu Huan caught a glimpse of Lin Yourong facing the television, and she secretly rolled her eyes in a charming and vivid way.
Bigger is better!
A girl in her first year of university is already married!
Yu Huan said, "Is that so? But I only celebrate my lunar birthday..."
"She's almost twenty-four, and she's never even had a boyfriend," Old Lin suddenly said, shaking his head vigorously.
"With you standing there scaring people, who would dare to date me?" Lin Yourong suddenly turned her head: "So what if I'm thirty? What's the rush?"
This flavor is spicy and quick.
hiss!
She is indeed a girl from Hunan.
Yu Huan poured the loosened tea leaves into the gaiwan, quickly trying to ease the tension:
"Uncle Lin! Have some tea, have some tea."
