System: Master Your Life-Chapter 685 - 174: Summer Vacation Arrives, Setting Out for the Capital City Again_3
"She went to intern."
"Intern? She just finished her sophomore year, right? Isn’t interning at least something after junior year?"
"She actively sought out an internship to enrich her resume and gain some social experience."
"Oh."
"So, can she come over when she has time?"
"We’ll see when she has time."
Xu Lin noticed that Rong Xiyan took advantage of Ms. Ren’s inattention to give him a fierce look.
Ms. Ren added, "What’s she doing for the internship? Won’t she be scammed?"
"She’s interning with Chi Linyue, acting as her secretary, she won’t be scammed."
The eldest sister is especially nice to Ning Yuhuan, treating her like a younger sister.
"Who is Chi Linyue?"
Classmate Rong caught onto the key information and realized that this name is the name of the heroine in Xu Lin’s novel!
Besides, Xu Lin hasn’t even written a novel for her yet; she wants to be the heroine!
Ms. Ren said, "She’s a girl Xu Lin knows..."
Regarding Chi Linyue, it’s a long story that goes back to before Xu Lin knew Rong Xiyan and Ning Yuhuan.
Ms. Ren started recounting from last year’s brave act by Xu Lin, and even with a long story short, it took a while.
Only then did Rong Xiyan finally understand.
But Rong Xiyan didn’t pay much attention because she hadn’t met Chi Linyue, so she wasn’t too concerned.
She wouldn’t imagine an unseen girl as a great beauty.
Ms. Ren said, "I’m relieved that Hanhan is interning with her."
Though they have only met twice and had two meals, Ms. Ren feels very assured by Chi Linyue, finding her trustworthy.
Around twelve midnight.
The lights in the house were out, and Ms. Ren was probably asleep too.
Rong Xiyan sneaked over again.
"Xu Lin!"
"Is Ning Yuhuan eventually going to marry into our family?"
"She’s following me, I certainly can’t let her down either."
"What about me?"
"I haven’t let you down either! Look, you wanted me to take you to the provincial capital, even though I grumbled about it, didn’t I still drive seven or eight hours to bring you here? See? I’ve been nothing but good to you!"
"Player, two-timing!"
"Don’t be ridiculous, two-timing isn’t called playing. It’s just small theatrics."
"Ha, you’re thinking of finding more, aren’t you!"
"No joke, I truly am."
"If you dare find another one, I won’t even bother with you."
"Alright, alright, are we going to work tonight or what? Otherwise, I’ll sleep early, I need to go to the Capital City tomorrow."
Saying this, Xu Lin let out a yawn.
Director Pei has requested his guidance on some music score work, so Xu Lin will be traveling to the Capital City again for a while.
The program is airing in a week.
Plus, Xu Lin needs to go collect his payment.
It’s not much, only three million.
And there are taxes to pay too.
But never mind, the renown of CCTV is big, Xu Lin can extend his reputation a little, solidify his golden name.
After all, he needs to rely on the name Mr. Xu to make a lot of money in the future, to do great things.
"What are you going to do in the Capital City?"
"Surely to work, not to mention travel? It’s July now, the outside is as hot as a steamer, just walking outside for ten minutes and your underwear is soaked, who would go traveling for nothing?"
"Then, I want a kiss!"
Rong Xiyan sat on Xu Lin’s lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
Everything was already second nature to her.
"Xu Lin, it’s my safe period."
Meaning they can be together intimately without barriers.
Actually, even if it’s not her safe period, it’s fine.
Because Xu Lin’s self-control has improved.
In soccer, there’s a move called: the overhead kick.
Xu Lin just needs to withdraw at the critical moment, then execute this skill, ensuring no accidents happen.
Now Xu Lin can do it proficiently.
Tonight, the two were quite passionate, just keeping the noise down.
The next morning, Xu Lin drove Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyan to work.
Rong Xiyan was also going back to her internship.
Ning Yuhuan, Yu Xinyan, Rong Xiyan, they are all busy with their own matters.
Xu Lin is surrounded by positive women, each with their own pursuits, all progressing and growing.
And Xu Lin, at eleven in the morning, went to the airport to catch a flight to the Capital City.
He was wearing a suit, in case he needed to attend any events, as for other clothes, there are some at Director Pei’s house.
He didn’t even carry a phone charger, with charging stations all over nowadays.
All he had was his ID and bank card in his pocket.
By four in the afternoon, Xu Lin landed at Beijing International Airport.
Outside was still sunny, July heat in the Capital City was already scorching.
Someone was there to pick up Xu Lin in the Capital City, but not Pei Danqing; it was her brother.
Today, Pei Danqing was quite busy and couldn’t spare the time.
Her brother’s name is Pei Guanyun.
At the parking lot, Pei Guanyun saw Xu Lin.
A young man in a suit, looking younger than himself, and he was twenty-two, in his prime, but the other seemed even more so.
Pei Guanyun examined the approaching figure, clad in a suit, jacket draped over one shoulder, tall, and handsome.
Most importantly, he exuded a unique aura.
It was an out-of-the-ordinary aura, yet also an aura that could easily alienate young and even middle-aged males.
Xu Lin’s presence could overshadow all their brilliance, so it was understandable to feel repelled.
Pei Guanyun’s first impression wasn’t friendly towards Xu Lin.
And here’s this young man seemingly having a special relationship with his sister.
Trying to hit on my sister?
Isn’t that something?
He scrutinized Xu Lin and asked, "What is your relationship with my sister?"
From childhood till now, that proud and lofty sister of his hadn’t gotten close to any man.
Yet now a man suddenly popped up, and even his sister had told him, her brother, to pick him up.
Pei Guanyun had no choice but to check this guy out.
"Currently, just friends," Xu Lin said.
"What kind of friends?" the other pursued.
Xu Lin: "Surely not boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
Pei Guanyun bluntly said, "Forget about boyfriend and girlfriend, my sister probably doesn’t fancy you, plus, you’re unlikely to even enter our family’s door."
"What does your family do?"
Xu Lin asked casually.
"During the Ming Dynasty, our family was around, and till now, five or six hundred years have passed, witnessing reign changes, historical rises and falls, we might as well be considered an old family!"
A century-old dynasty, a millennia-old family.
"Moreover, during the Republic of China, our family made a significant investment, and made the right choice, hence, we live alongside the nation!"
Young and wild, full of spirit: "So, you ought to weigh if you are worthy of our family? Our family isn’t something just anyone can enter!"
"You guys are indeed impressive!"
Xu Lin said nonchalantly, not intimidated by Pei Guanyun.
Xu Lin has come this far, and he’ll go farther in the future. Someday, even if the highest person in your family comes out, Xu Lin will drink with him, and your glass better be lowered by three points than mine!
"Naturally. Not being formidable, how could one withstand regime changes, historical transitions? Thus..."
Buzz buzz...
Before Pei Guanyun finished his sentence, his phone started vibrating.
"Hello? Sister?"
"Have you picked up Xu Lin yet?"
"Uh... I..."
"Why are you stuttering? Are you giving him a hard time? Speak up, Pei Guanyun!" Pei Danqing’s tone was stern; after all, there’s a saying: the eldest sister is like a mother. A sister’s authority naturally imposes on a brother.
Xu Lin’s sharp ears caught Pei Danqing’s words and tone, plus Pei Guanyun’s changed attitude, it seemed more than a mere imposing relationship.
"Sister, I’m picking him up now!"
Pei Guanyun immediately backed down.
After ending the call, Pei Guanyun didn’t look too pleased.
"Get in the car."
Pei Guanyun spoke.
So Xu Lin sat in the back.
Even seating arrangements have significance, sitting in the passenger seat signifies respect, in the back means you’re the driver.
Even though Xu Lin got along well with Pei Danqing, a brother is a brother, family is family, if you dislike me or treat me poorly, I don’t need to show a good face either, I don’t depend on your family for a living, and there’s no need to flatter your family.
That’s Xu Lin’s bottom line.
Damn!
I seem to be a driver!
Meanwhile, Pei Guanyun, in the driver’s seat, looked at Xu Lin in the rearview mirror.
Xu Lin in his neat suit, carrying a Dragon among Men aura, stern-faced, sitting there in an inexplicable demeanor.
But he had an intense feeling.
He seemed to have become the other person’s driver!
