Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Xue squeezed out a smile and said, “I was just curious, that’s all.”
“Oh, is that so?” Jiang Ling’er deliberately said proudly. “Just now, we spoke for the first ti. But it’s true that I’ve admired him for a long ti.”
Bai Xue didn’t buy Jiang Ling’er’s words at all. She retorted, “You two don’t know each other; how could he possibly give you apples?”
“There are so many people in the school. Do you know all of them?” Jiang Ling’er mocked. “Why are you giving apples to everyone?”
Liang Chao said, “What else could it be? Bai Xue is giving apples to everyone to gain popularity.”
Jiang Ling’er imdiately gave a thumbs-up to Liang Chao.
At this mont, Chen Yinuo, who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly said, “Ling’er, we’ve had als together so many tis, but I haven’t seen you admire !”
Jiang Ling’er was taken aback, realizing that Little Six and Lin Sheng were both at the door. She felt a bit awkward.
“Senior Little Six, Brother Lin, why are you here?” Jiang Ling’er asked.
Little Six said, “Ling’er, don’t change the subject. We’ve been standing here for a long ti, and we saw your bootlicker appearance just now. We saw it clearly.”
Lin Sheng nodded beside him.
Jiang Ling’er said awkwardly, “Senior Little Six, how should I put this? He’s like a god of studies. He was born with an attractive aura. You’re at most an excellent student. You don’t have that kind of aura.”
Little Six pretended to be angry and said, “Can’t we chat nicely?”
Lin Sheng said, “He gave you so many apples. Perhaps only Yu Zhizhou, that weirdo, would do sothing like this. I suddenly feel that my apples are really small.”
Lin Sheng looked at the apples in his hand as he walked into the classroom, and gave one to Jiang Ling’er and one to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow and said, “Was I just a side note?”
Little Six walked in and also gave one to each of them.
“So things are best left unknown,” said Little Six.
Wen Nuan was speechless. “Compared to Yu God, look at how stingy the two of you are. He gave away so much at once. Your standards are just too low.”
Lin Sheng sowhat helplessly said, “Miss Wen, don’t look at like that. These were carefully selected and specifically brought to you. It’s not just a side note.”
Little Six cast a disdainful glance at Lin Sheng. “You’ve uttered so many things against your conscience. Aren’t you afraid of having nightmares tonight?” he said mockingly.
Turning to Wen Nuan, Little Six said, “So, what did Miss Wen give you, Miss Jiang?”
“Just a kiss,” Wen Nuan replied.
Without hesitation, Wen Nuan planted a kiss on Jiang Ling’er.
Little Six and Lin Sheng exchanged glances, realizing they couldn’t compete with that.
“Don’t give us that look,” Wen Nuan said. “There’s a reason why I called you guys narrow-minded. 1 want you to see the gift my brother gave Ling’er.”
With that, Wen Nuan produced a jewelry box.
“Ling’er, open it and take a look,” Wen Nuan proudly instructed. “My brother prepared this personally.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and opened the jewelry box. Her eyes widened in amazent. Inside was a piece of high-quality Hetian suet jade—an apple pendant.
“It’s so beautiful, Nuannuan. What a pity…” Jiang Ling’er said regretfully.
“What’s a pity?” Lin Sheng asked, puzzled. “Such a beautiful jade. I might not understand it, but I think it’s beautiful.”
Wen Nuan looked at Lin Sheng as if he were clueless. She explained, “1 say, Brother Lin, your family used to own a company. Don’t you know that after a celebrity endorses a certain product, they can’t use similar products from other brands?”
“I really don’t understand,” Lin Sheng admitted. “Otherwise, how could my family go bankrupt?”
Lin Sheng seed indifferent to his family’s company’s bankruptcy, treating it like a passing event.
Wen Nuan did not know what to say. Was Lin Sheng really not afraid that his ancestor would seek him out for a chat in the middle of the night?
Wen Nuan clarified, “Let break it down for you. Ling’er is now the spokesperson for the Chen Group. Therefore, she can’t wear accessories from other brands. Even if this one doesn’t have a brand, she can’t wear it casually. Do you understand?”
“What a hassle,” Lin Sheng said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but think, ‘No wonder Lin Corporation went bankrupt.’
“Brother Lin, you’re so skilled at computers, but why is your reasoning so unreliable?” Wen Nuan asked.
Wen Nuan paused for a mont and explained, “Consider this scenario: If your company was still thriving, and you had Ling’er as the spokesperson, many people would purchase your products due to her influence. You’d accumulate substantial earnings. However, in a crucial mont, if Ling’er were to use products from other brands, and others witnessed it, they might opt for those alternatives. What would be your reaction? How would you feel?”
“Huh?” Lin Sheng queried. “In that situation, I’d probably assu it’s because
my products aren’t up to par..”
