Li Qiang said, "Of course, I’ve heard that there are some female celebrities who can afford hundreds of thousands of dollars for a bag, millions for a watch. Even the common folk are envious."
Ling Shuangshuang sighed, "How can that be? Some people don’t care about money, they can spend whatever they want. I have been through bitter days, so even if someone gave me money for free, I wouldn’t dare to spend it carelessly."
Li Qiang asked curiously, "Were you living a rough life before?"
Ling Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at him, and said: "Of course, before I became famous, I was just an ordinary student in an art school. After a director came to pick a role, he picked me out and made me famous. "Being able to become famous can be considered good luck."
Li Qiang sighed, "Looks like everyone has their past that’s a bit unbearable. Your success doesn’t just depend on luck, it also depends on your own strength. If that great director looked down on your acting skills, or if your body didn’t meet the requirements, he wouldn’t have chosen you. This means that your innate qualities and acquired knowledge are very good, and you’ve entered his eyes."
Ling Shuangshuang smiled. "Big brother’s words are so nice. You always take care of other people’s feelings. No wonder big sister Lin likes you so much."
Li Qiang smiled embarrassedly, "How could she like me? That’s impossible."
Ling Shuangshuang did not understand the meaning behind his words and asked curiously, "Why can’t she like you? Didn’t you already accept her?" Must be very much in love for them to really be united? Oh, I see. You mean, Sister Lin doesn’t easily express his feelings in front of you, right? I can tell you that she was very appreciative of you when he talked to me. "
Li Qiang was interested and asked, "What did she say about me?"
Ling Shuangshuang said, "She said you are very smart and smart. You know how to act when the time comes and your words are smooth. You are a creative person."
Li Qiang nodded and said, "At least she has a conscience. At least she didn’t say bad things about me behind my back." He thought to himself, "Maybe Lin Ya Shi was trying her best to hide her relationship with me in front of outsiders, so she talked to Ling Shuang and Ling Shuang in such a manner."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "That’s not true. Sister also said your weakness, but it’s not a problem. Overall, she appreciates you more."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "I’ve already thanked the heavens and earth for not scolding me. By the way, where are you going tonight? Let’s hurry up and go."
The car that Ling Shuangshuang was driving was a newly issued BMW and was very beautiful. Li Qiang got onto the passenger seat and said: "People say that this position is the most dangerous, but I’m willing to take the risk if I can sit beside you."
Ling Shuangshuang laughed, "Brother, your words are so funny, but I am always happy with what you have to say." As he spoke, he started the car and drove towards the east side of the city.
Li Qiang asked, "Excuse me, but what business do you want to discuss?"
Ling Shuangshuang said, "I’ve been talking about a big movie recently, and if it can be sold successfully, the box office price will be at least 2 billion, but the investors have some background in the underworld, and my contract was previously negotiated by myself. Now facing such a powerful force, I’m not confident, so I feel safer taking you along with me."
Li Qiang snickered in his heart, "This silly girl, I’m just a poor student without any bullshit ability. What’s the use of bringing me along? I’m just trying to find some psychological comfort."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "Brother, if they do anything abnormal, you have to protect me."
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I will definitely protect your safety." He thought in his heart: "Anyways I have Lin Hu as my backer and he is the backer of the underworld. No matter who it is I will give him face so when the time comes I will directly say his name."
Ling Shuangshuang’s car was very fast. It took his less than 20 minutes to arrive at the east side of the city, which was far from the bustling downtown. It was made up of a large area of slums, and at night, there were only a few lights.
Li Qiang frowned, "Why did the person you were negotiating with choose this damned place?"
Ling Shuangshuang said, "They live here. I want them to come to the hotel to negotiate, but they don’t agree. They insist on meeting at home, so I can’t do anything about it."
Li Qiang said, "Do the people who live here really have the ability to invest in large scale projects?"
Ling Shuangshuang said, "Don’t look down on the people here. A rich monk in a poor temple, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. This is not a place where ordinary people gather."
Li Qiang was skeptical and mumbled to himself, but since Ling Shuangshuang insisted on doing so, he had no choice but to follow along.
After a few knocks, someone opened the door and walked out. It was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Ling Shuang, he did not seem to be in a good mood as he said, "You’re here?" This is? "
Li Qiang thought to himself, "It looks like this uncle doesn’t want to be rich, and he seems to have known Ling Shuangshuang for a long time. Just who is he?"
At this moment, Ling Shuangshuang introduced, "This is my friend, Li Qiang, who is also the bodyguard of the Lin Group’s Miss Lin."
That person’s eyes lit up as he gave Li Qiang another glance and said, "So it’s a rare guest. Please come in."
He invited the two into the main house, served the tea, and then said, "What do you want with such an important guest?"
Ling Shuangshuang smiled, "He only came with me and didn’t participate in the negotiations. The real condition is that we can negotiate."
The middle-aged man cupped his fist towards Li Qiang and said, "Hello, my name is Ling Tong, I’m Ling Shuang’s father." Li Qiang was shocked and said, "What did you say? You two are father and daughter?"
Ling Shuangshuang said, "We used to be, but now we are not. We are no longer father and daughter."
Ling Tong sighed as his expression turned strange. However, he did not explain in detail and said, "Back then, I let you and your daughter down and now, I have been trying to make amends for it. But you refused. What do you want me to do in the end that you will forgive me?"
Ling Shuangshuang suddenly said sternly, "Return my mother’s life and I will forgive you!"
Ling Tong’s expression was extremely ugly as he said in a deep voice, "That was a long time ago. Why do you still remember it?"
Ling Shuang said angrily, "My mom’s death has a lot to do with you, do you think I’ll forget about it?"
Ling Tong said, "We’re talking about business this time, so let’s not bring up that matter anymore, okay? I haven’t had a good time these years because of your mom. I haven’t moved out of here in so many years, and I’d rather live a poor life in the slums to confess everything I’ve done. Can’t you forgive me? "
