After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 29

The real estate agent, fortunately, had a silver tongue and finally persuaded Meng Kelin.

When he handed the contract to Meng Kelin, she almost held it under a magnifying glass in the sunlight for a long time, as if she were afraid there were papers hidden between the pages.

The agent tried his best to convince her that the boss’s superstitious beliefs were far beyond the average person’s.

Therefore, after thoroughly checking the price and all the responsibilities for possible situations, Meng Kelin was finally sure that the contract didn’t seem to have any hidden traps.

After signing the contract and paying the deposit, Meng Kelin couldn’t help but say to the agent, “If the boss wants to give away money, couldn’t he just donate it somewhere?”

The agent was speechless and almost lost his cool. He didn’t know who the boss behind the scenes was either! But the boss had specifically requested to rent to them. He had racked his brain to come up with this excuse, and she had just dismantled it!

After complaining internally, he kept a big smile on his face. “You’re right! But I’m not the boss’s subordinate, so I don’t have a chance to remind him.”

Meng Kelin hummed in agreement, both surprised and a little nervous. “So, we got a great deal.”

The agent nodded, then grabbed the contract and bolted.

After renting the new office, Lin Xin’s whole demeanor seemed to lighten up. She looked around and even went outside to observe.

Meng Kelin was also observing. This place had probably been rented to a music production company before. The decor was very modern, and there was even a stage and a dressing room.

It would cost a lot of money to completely redecorate the entire floor.

As she looked around, Meng Kelin started making plans in her mind. Ye Linghua had a question from the very beginning. Seeing that Lin Xin was not around and Zhu Fang had gone out to buy water, Ye Linghua walked up to Meng Kelin and asked, “Actually, with Lin Xin’s 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry, she should have a lot of savings, right?”

With Meng Kelin’s investment, their combined money shouldn’t have been so tight. “Dusk” had other investments, and now that it was a huge hit, the revenue was growing exponentially. Why didn’t they seem to be more relaxed financially?

Meng Kelin’s eyes looked a little distant when she heard this. She sighed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the neatly arranged buildings and the crisscrossing roads outside. The bustling city was a sight to behold.

Ye Linghua didn’t get a response and continued to ask, “Is it inconvenient to talk about?”

Meng Kelin glanced at her. Although Ye Linghua had been with Lin Xin for the shortest amount of time, Meng Kelin knew she genuinely cared about her.

To have been able to secure such a large investment, Ye Linghua must have good connections. She brought in the investment when she and Lin Xin needed it most. For a person like that, it would have been acceptable for her and Lin Xin to show her some respect or even give her a share of the profits.

But she was still silently doing the housework and had made no demands. Meng Kelin would have believed it if someone said Ye Linghua was just Lin Xin’s fan.

Based on everything that had happened recently, Meng Kelin trusted Ye Linghua.

But she still didn’t explain the situation clearly. After all, it was Lin Xin’s family matter.

“It’s different when you have people holding you back. Besides, how old was she back then? Could she really keep all the money she made?” Meng Kelin stretched and smiled. “Luckily, everything is fine now. She’s gotten rid of all her burdens. From now on, no matter how much money she makes, it will all be her own.”

Ye Linghua said, “Oh.” She’s gotten rid of all her burdens?

That meant there was definitely Zheng Lanwen, but it wasn’t just Zheng Lanwen.

Ye Linghua didn’t want to dig deeper. It was Lin Xin’s family matter, and if she didn’t want her to know, she would wait. She would wait until one day, Lin Xin would tell her herself.

After Meng Kelin finished speaking, they both fell silent. Ye Linghua was bored, and since Lin Xin hadn’t come back yet, she decided to go look for her.

She couldn’t find her in any of the rooms, so she went to the nearest restroom.

There were several restrooms on this floor. For privacy, a wall was built in front of each women’s restroom hallway to completely separate it from the men’s restroom hallway.

Ye Linghua guessed that Lin Xin might be there. Just as she turned the corner, she bumped into Lin Xin, who came running out.

With a “thud,” Lin Xin hit her nose, and Ye Linghua hit her chin. For a moment, pain spread through the areas of impact. Lin Xin’s eyes teared up from the pain.

When she saw it was Ye Linghua, she asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ye Linghua was fine. The pain in her chin went away quickly. Seeing that Lin Xin was tearing up, she couldn’t help but say, “Why were you running?”

Lin Xin said, “I checked the time and realized I had been out for too long. I was afraid you had left.”

Ye Linghua chuckled. She reached for Lin Xin’s hand, which was covering her nose, and said, “Why would you think that? We came together. Why would we leave you behind? Let me see your nose.”

Lin Xin held her nose even tighter and answered with a little embarrassment, “You don’t need to see it.”

Ye Linghua could only coax her in a low voice, “I just want to see if it’s broken.”

Lin Xin became unhappy. “How could it be broken? My nose isn’t fake.”

Ye Linghua said, “Okay, okay.”

Probably to prove that her entire face was natural, she let go of her hand. Lin Xin had run into her with a lot of force, and her nose had hit Ye Linghua’s chin. It was now red.

Ye Linghua reached out and touched it. Lin Xin felt a slight electrical sensation where she touched, making her nose tingle.

“Does it feel numb?” Ye Linghua guessed that after the pain, it would be a tingling sensation.

Lin Xin was speechless. “…” Oh, her nose really was numb.

Ye Linghua saw her dazed expression and burst out laughing. “Let’s go! Zhu Fang should be back with water. You’ve seen the place. Is there anything you don’t like?”

Lin Xin shook her head. While rubbing her nose, she said, “This entire floor is rented to us, right?”

“Us?” Ye Linghua looked at her and suppressed the feeling in her heart. “Yes. But I don’t know if it will be inconvenient for you. Although this area is a business district, there are a lot of people. And there are others in this building, so the privacy isn’t as good.”

Lin Xin shook her head again. “It’s fine. My fans are past the age of chasing me around. Look, how many fans came to my events recently?”

Ye Linghua saw that she really didn’t mind, but she still suggested, “I just looked. There’s an elevator here that can be for your exclusive use. If you care about privacy, why not rent that one too? Then, the employees can just swipe their cards to get in and out.”

Lin Xin was surprised. “Can we do that? Is that possible?”

Ye Linghua paused, wondering if her actions were too obvious. But she thought about Lin Xin’s status. Even if she didn’t have fans following her, reporters could easily get in if there was any news. It would be better to rent the exclusive elevator to prevent many accidents.

She looked at Lin Xin’s shining eyes. Could a person really say no to that?

Therefore, Ye Linghua answered with certainty, “Yes.”

Lin Xin was immediately tempted. It wouldn’t be impossible to pay a little more to rent the elevator. When she went back and told Meng Kelin, Meng Kelin immediately laughed at her and Ye Linghua for being naive. “The elevator you’re talking about goes directly to the top floor. It’s the boss’s private elevator, specially built so he wouldn’t have to share it with others. You want to rent it? Is that even possible? Just think about it.”

Lin Xin was a little disappointed. The houses in this area were expensive. She had bought a villa, so it was a bit difficult to buy an office building. Not to mention, it was impossible to buy an entire building. Therefore, having a private elevator was out of the question for now.

But it was already good enough to find such a cheap place for an office. So what if the privacy was a little worse? She had already prepared for the possibility of not being able to find a place, but she still felt a little disappointed.

Her expression made people want to pluck the moon from the sky for her. Meng Kelin couldn’t bear it and took out her phone to call the agent.

She immediately asked, “Do you rent out the elevator?”

The other person replied, “Yes! The boss’s elevator.”

Meng Kelin: “…” Ha.

After the office was settled, Meng Kelin officially started hiring. She was familiar with the industry and wanted to find an experienced team from the start.

At the same time, she had to screen the jobs that came in for Lin Xin. With a shortage of staff, Lin Xin could only go to events with Ye Linghua. For a time, everyone was very busy.

Over the past two days, Meng Kelin had scheduled a talk show for Lin Xin.

While Lin Xin was recording in the studio, Ye Linghua was waiting for her in the lounge on the first floor. At first, she didn’t pay attention to the people around her. When the recording was almost over, Ye Linghua put away her phone and was about to go up to meet Lin Xin. She suddenly noticed a lot of people standing outside the glass door on the first floor.

Many celebrities had come to record today, and their fans were also in their own groups. But Ye Linghua could spot the group of fans holding Lin Xin’s light sticks. Perhaps it was because she had a soft spot for them, but Ye Linghua found Lin Xin’s fans much cuter. She noticed that when she stood up, a few of them became excited.

Ye Linghua was surprised. She thought about it and walked outside.

The fans saw Ye Linghua come out and waved happily.

Ye Linghua was a little confused but waved back politely. This made the fans even happier.

Ye Linghua was amused and asked them, “…Are you waiting for Lin Xin?”

The fans nodded and said excitedly, “We’re waiting for you too.”

Ye Linghua: “For me?”

The fans nodded happily and said excitedly, “A few days ago, someone in the fan group shared a photo of Xinbao at the airport. We immediately noticed you next to her. You’re the one from the music video…” At this point, a few of the fans giggled, looking a little mischievous, but they still asked excitedly, “Are you? Are you?”

Ye Linghua blinked. Although it wasn’t strange to be recognized, it was beyond her expectation that they would come to see her in person. “Yes.”

“Ahhhhhhh!!! We knew it, we knew it.”

“So, so, are you taking care of Xinbao?”

Ye Linghua hesitated for a moment. A personal assistant’s job seemed to be just that, so she nodded.

“Ahhhhhhh, that’s so sweet!” The fans were still very excited.

Sweet?

Ye Linghua: “…Um, you might not have understood. I’m her personal assistant.”

The fans were surprised for a moment but were quickly filled with a new idea and screamed even more excitedly, “That’s still so loving!!!”

Loving?

Ye Linghua was completely speechless. “…” She felt like there was something off about these people, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

Another fan asked Ye Linghua, “Xinbao seems to have a temper when she wakes up. Is it hard to wake her up in the morning?”

Ye Linghua thought for a moment and replied, “…Not really…”

Before she could finish, the fans became excited again. “Ahhhhhh, Xinbao is so sweet too.”

Ye Linghua: “???” Huh?

The security guard saw that the fans were getting a little rowdy and quickly went forward to stop them. He then told Ye Linghua, “You should go up now!” He had originally thought she was just an assistant, but he didn’t expect her to have the same effect as an idol. With so many people here, it would be a huge hassle if something happened.

Ye Linghua nodded, waved goodbye to the fans, and turned to leave.

Just as she was about to enter the door, she heard the fans outside shout, “Um, hello, Miss Assistant.”

Ye Linghua turned back to look. The fan thought the scene was beautiful and touching. She blushed and asked Ye Linghua, “What’s your name?”

Ye Linghua smiled slightly and didn’t answer.

The fan was a little disappointed but still shouted loudly, “Morning Star wishes you two happiness!”

Ye Linghua continued to smile, but her heart was thinking: “???”

“We Morning Stars will always be here.”

She understood this was a message of support.

So, Ye Linghua replied very seriously, “Thank you.”

The fans became even more excited.
