Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 515: A Bit Surprised

Lin Cheng stared in disbelief at Ling Tianyou in front of him. Is this still the same workaholic from before?

The Ling Tianyou who used to work overtime at the company for seven days and seven nights without going home — now he actually cares about family?

He must be hallucinating; otherwise, how could those words have come from Ling Tianyou’s mouth?

Lin Cheng refuses to believe it, absolutely refuses.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Cheng, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Cheng shook his head, "Nothing, just a bit surprised, that’s all. Let’s talk business! Recently, my family elder thinks I’m doing well now that the company has started to profit, and he’s given me more authority! Especially the business license and permit for that entertainment company, which have just come through. It’s just a little complicated with the legal representative issue..."

Ling Tianyou looked at Lin Cheng and said, "Just put my name down as the legal representative! It’ll be easier to handle things in the future."

Lin Cheng nodded repeatedly, "I thought the same, but I’m worried it’ll be a burden for you, Brother Tianyou, hehe~"

Before coming here, he had been wondering how to bring up this matter. Now it’s resolved, as Ling Tianyou directly agreed, leaving him at ease.

After all, with this legal representative role, if something went wrong, he really couldn’t handle it.

"Recently a new variety show has started filming." Ling Tianyou tapped his beautiful fingers on the table, "Though it’s a new variety show, the director responsible is a rare good one. I want to invest, but you need to handle it. The money will come from your company, and I’ll wire it to your account later."

Lin Cheng quickly realized, "Brother Tianyou, you’re thinking of recruiting a few newcomers to develop at your own company?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Although your company is making profits now, its fame isn’t high; this is a good chance to boost the reputation through the variety show."

Lin Cheng’s eyes brightened, "Brother Tianyou, you’re too good to me! If my dad finds out, he’d be thrilled!"

He understood that Ling Tianyou was indirectly helping him.

The money came from Ling Tianyou, but the spotlight was on him.

As long as the reputation is strong, even if he goes solo someday, he won’t suffer losses.

"Better that your dad doesn’t find out." Ling Tianyou chuckled, "Let it be a secret between you and me."

Lin Cheng jokingly said, "What about Miss Gu?"

"She’s not interested in the company matters." Ling Tianyou already noticed when she avoided joining them, finding a magazine to read: "Though if she wants to know, I’ll tell her."

Lin Cheng was stunned, "Brother Tianyou, you’re smitten with Miss Gu! Is she more captivating than Chen Rui? You never showed this with Chen Rui!"

Today’s story wouldn’t be believable if told! Lin Cheng felt like he was hallucinating.

Ling Tianyou looked at him coolly, "You think Chen Rui is better than Gu Ningyue?"

Lin Cheng was about to nod, but rationality stopped him.

Clearly, Ling Tianyou likes Gu Ningyue a lot.

Complimenting Chen Rui now would be lacking tact, wouldn’t it?

"No way!" Lin Cheng chuckled, "How could I! I just think Miss Chen has known you for many years, but Miss Gu only a few months, yet you’ve cared so deeply about Miss Gu... hehe..."

Lin Cheng awkwardly laughed twice, fearing Ling Tianyou would get angry.

Ling Tianyou maintained calmness, though his sharp gaze seemed to pierce through him, "I like Gu Ningyue. Don’t mention Chen Rui in front of me; we’re just friends."

Lin Cheng rarely sees Ling Tianyou being so serious about feelings. For a moment, he could only nod in response.

"By the way, Brother Tianyou..." Lin Cheng saw Ling Tianyou’s expression soften and quickly changed the topic, "Lately, a web celebrity has become viral. I’ve watched her live streams; she has a great body, looks, and talent too. Want to recruit and develop her?"

Ling Tianyou paused, "What’s her name?"

"The smallest deer from Deerland." Lin Cheng looked at Ling Tianyou, "Real name is Meng Xinxin."

Ling Tianyou nodded, "No rush, first check her background and social circles. If it’s too complex, even with infinite potential, it’s just more trouble."

Seemingly impressed by the person, Lin Cheng immediately added, "I’ve done some preliminary research. This Meng Xinxin graduated from a not-so-famous performing arts school. Her parents are university teachers, both earning stable salaries. She’s a bit rebellious from young, so she wasn’t very promising. But with today’s internet climate, Meng Xinxin’s lively character suits the trend well."

"And have you looked into her social relationships?" Ling Tianyou spoke calmly, "And her current romantic status?"

Lin Cheng hesitated for a while, "Meng Xinxin has many friends and is quite attractive, but she’s always been single."

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "If I’m right, you asked her using a small account, didn’t you?"

Lin Cheng responded, "No choice, my people waited near her place for days. She rarely goes out and nobody came to see her."

"It’s fine, I’ll find someone to dig deeper into her background." Ling Tianyou told Lin Cheng, "If she has any bad habits, she can’t join the company."

Lin Cheng understood, "Yeah, if she has any bad habits or gets involved in shady things, no matter how good the resources are, they’d be wasted."

"Good you understand." Ling Tianyou responded, then chatted with Lin Cheng about some company matters, finalizing some plans until it was eight-thirty in the evening.

"Brother Tianyou, want to go out for a drink together?" Lin Cheng asked Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No."

Lin Cheng slapped his head, suddenly remembering, "Oh, forgot, Brother Tianyou, you have a dinner with Miss Gu."

Ling Tianyou acknowledged, ready to call Gu Ningyue when the inner room’s door opened, "Hey? You’re done chatting?"

Lin Cheng was stunned seeing the beauty appear in front of him, momentarily speechless, "Miss... Miss Gu, why are you here?"

Gu Ningyue, holding an empty coffee cup, looked at the surprised Lin Cheng, "I’m here to accompany him while he works overtime, why?"

Lin Cheng looked at the captivating Gu Ningyue, noticing she seemed even more radiant than before.

Seeing this, it was understandable why Ling Tianyou wasn’t interested in Chen Rui.

After all, Gu Ningyue is more alluring than Chen Rui.

But he dared not voice this thought, only looking at Gu Ningyue, "N-No, nothing, just surprised Brother Tianyou didn’t mention you were here, so seeing you was unexpected."
