System: Master Your Life-Chapter 696 - 177: Xu Lin’s Busy Day, New Rewards, Brain Domain Development!
"From a worldly point of view, of course, it exists. I like this girl, I like everything good about her, and I want to be with her forever."
Xu Lin shifted the topic, "But philosophically, from let’s say Buddhism, I like this girl because she is pretty. What if she becomes ugly? Maybe I wouldn’t like her because I’m attached to her physical appearance, and in Buddhism, all this is illusory. People age, no matter how pretty the girl is, she’ll eventually become a wrinkled old woman, emitting the smell of old age. That’s why Buddhism has the saying ’viewing a beautiful woman as a skeleton.’
"However."
Xu Lin continued, "I’m just an ordinary person. It’s meaningless to discuss these matters. Any profound truth should be based on the unity of knowledge and action, otherwise, I’d at most be just a serious ordinary person."
"Yes, that’s true." Shang Wanjun nodded.
The two of them talked quite a bit, and later, it almost got dark.
Shang Wanjun indicated that she’d treat tonight, so Xu Lin went out to have a meal with her.
After they were full, it had turned completely dark.
Xu Lin drove back to the neighborhood and dropped Shang Wanjun off.
It was time to say goodbye.
"The password for my home’s smart lock is 263594."
Shang Wanjun told Xu Lin the password.
"Okay."
Xu Lin hesitated for a moment. With this password, he could come over and do whatever he wanted at any time of the night.
But of course, Xu Lin wasn’t that kind of person.
On the other hand, when a girl tells you the password to her home’s smart lock, the implied meaning is obvious.
"I’m leaving first."
Xu Lin bid farewell.
Shang Wanjun: "Mm, goodbye."
Xu Lin didn’t say anything more; he glanced at her and then drove away.
It was past nine when Xu Lin returned home.
Ning Yuhuan was still in the living room reading.
Ning Yuhuan was currently interning and lived here all the time. With her around, everything at home was neat and tidy.
"Honey!"
Ning Yuhuan quickly stood up to help Xu Lin with his coat.
"I can do it."
Xu Lin wasn’t acting like some young master.
"Did you eat?"
"Just had my fill outside."
"Oh, okay."
Ning Yuhuan nodded, and Xu Lin suddenly pulled her into an embrace.
Ning Yuhuan had just showered, including her hair, so aside from her natural scent, there was the fragrance of shower gel and shampoo.
Xu Lin quickly stripped her clothes off.
Ning Yuhuan was very compliant, knowing Xu Lin wanted to do something.
And indeed, he had been holding it in for several days.
He didn’t say a word, started kissing her nonstop.
"Honey..."
"Haven’t seen you in so long, still as fragrant."
Xu Lin was filled with passion.
...
The next day, Sunday, Xu Lin rested and had not started working yet.
Soon it was Monday.
Ning Yuhuan arrived at the company in the morning.
Chi Linyue was also at the company by then. She made a cup of coffee and asked Ning Yuhuan, "Hanhan, did Xu Lin come back?"
"He came back night before last."
"Came back night before last?"
"Yeah, he came back the day before yesterday."
That rascal, he came back without a word. When she didn’t message, Xu Lin barely sent one on his own and vanished like he’d evaporated into thin air.
Chi Linyue felt a little resentful; she’d reached an age where her hormones dictated a taste for indulgence.
Once a week, at the very least?
Her expectations were already quite low.
Others might not have it daily, but every other day should be possible.
She and Xu Lin hadn’t seen each other for a while.
Immediately, Chi Linyue sent Xu Lin a message:
"Come out tonight!"
However, Xu Lin was surely not going to reply now, because he’d tossed his phone aside.
On Monday, Xu Lin officially started working.
Two identities — Mr. Xu and Young Master Xu.
First was Mr. Xu.
Xu Lin needed to compose, or his apprentices wouldn’t have enough to share.
Moreover, Xu Lin was planning to recruit a round of people in the coming days. He needed to find someone at Xie Ting’s level, to elevate them to the peak.
Only then could he settle those tasks as well.
Xu Lin was very goal-oriented; he wanted money and he wanted to complete his tasks.
Once he knew what to do, Xu Lin didn’t delay and began to busy himself right away.
He’s now multitasking, composing lyrics and music unlike before, when a song’s lyrics and music together took at least two to three hours.
Now, using the same amount of time, he could write four songs at once.
Efficiency has vastly improved.
So, in six hours that day, he wrote eight songs, all top-quality productions from Xu Lin.
Time: a little past three in the afternoon.
Xu Lin logged into Xiaohongshu, which he hadn’t done for over two months.
Mr. Xu.
Posted a new note: I am starting a new round of recruitment, welcoming capable individuals to sign up.
As soon as the note was published, many of Xu Lin’s fans rushed over.
"Has Mr. Xu finally remembered his account?"
"Good heavens, hasn’t it been over two months since the last login? Doesn’t Mr. Xu have an assistant? Others have assistants or studios to help manage their accounts, right?"
"There’s probably an assistant?"
"But not logging in for over two months? Unaware people might think something happened."
"Starting a new round of recruitment again? I really want to join, just not capable enough."
With Xie Ting leading the way, now Xie Ting is shining brightly on "Singer." He already has the posture of a top-stream.
For every episode of Singer aired, whenever Xie Ting performs on stage, it’s always a new song from Mr. Xu, and each song is exceptionally strong, including ones that are phenomenal; the rate of being spread is high now.
Xie Ting is really about to reach the peak.
Add that he’s handsome, six feet tall, strong professional skills, and a highly identifiable voice.
