I won't give you a dime [entertainment circle]

The Lin family couple was about to explode, when Lin Cong suddenly said: "Director Qi is right, I am too uneducated, I am deeply sorry to President Lin and Mrs. Lin."

He said he was apologetic, but his tone was very cold.

What Lin Cong's parents were about to say was blocked back, they were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was about to break.Jing Qian hurriedly smoothed things over: "The two of you invited us over, presumably to discuss endorsement matters?"

As a manager, she had never seen Lin Cong lose control of his emotions and have thorns all over his body.

The atmosphere was tense at first, but the endorsement talks went very smoothly.The two top decision-makers personally explained the conditions of the endorsement to Lin Cong. Even though Lin Cong kept looking bad and responded very perfunctorily, they were very patient with Lin Cong.

Seeing that the Lin family and his wife liked Lin Cong so much, Qi Hai dared not speak out.

After Jing Qian finished chatting and was about to take Lin Cong away, the Lin family couple suddenly said, "We want to have a meal with Lin Cong alone..."

Lin Cong picked up the coat on the back of the chair and was about to leave: "No, thank you."

Jing Qian was almost dumbfounded, and called Lin Cong aside and whispered, "Little ancestor, what happened to you today? This is the founder of LIM, can you stop causing trouble for me?"

Lin Cong bowed his head and was silent for a moment, not knowing how to tell Jing Qian the truth, so he sat back in silence and said after a while: "Sorry."

After Jing Qian and Liu Xiao went out, Qi Hai stared at Lin Cong cautiously for a long time.

Fortunately, he thought that this young man was polite and gracious just now, but now it seems that he can't even control his temper, so he just came out to embarrass himself, right?

Such a Lin Cong can actually win the favor of the Lin family couple?

Is it just because he looks good?

Qi Hai couldn't hold back his contempt: "Boss Lin, Qi Yun's appearance is no worse than Lin Cong's, and his reputation in the entertainment industry is much better than Lin Cong's. I recommend him not only because he is my son, but also because he is my son. Please think carefully, both of you."

Lin Yingshan didn't look at Qi Hai, but only looked at Lin Cong.

Lin Cong couldn't calm down all the feelings in his heart, and looked back at his father.However, after all, he couldn't let Qi Hai, an outsider, see his family's jokes.

"The two of you make a decision. My agent has already discussed the contract very clearly. If the two of you need to talk with Director Qi, I can wait outside."

Lin Yingshan sighed, and said, "Son, I know you're blaming me and mom for hiding the truth from you. We just flew back to China today, and we asked you to come here to explain everything—including the endorsement matter, and we'll give you a fair outcome."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Hai was stunned. He looked up and down Lin Cong's facial features and figure, and then looked at the Lin family couple with guilt written all over their faces. He was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"You...you are...you are..."

For Qi Yun's endorsement, Qi Hai had already checked Lin Cong's details, but the information he could find was very little.He thought that Lin Cong was just a starlet in the industry, with an ordinary family and no backers, and he still lives in a dilapidated old apartment.

He turned out to be the only son of the founder of his own LIM?

The Lin couple had never brought their son out on various social occasions before.People in the company speculated that they were trying to protect their son from media harassment.

But Lin Cong is already a star in the entertainment industry, why should he hide the identity of the company's heir?

Qi Hai couldn't figure it out, his mind was quickly occupied by another imminent matter.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, this won't work, you...you can't give your son an endorsement through the back door, can you?"

Zhong Lanying glanced at him, sneered, and threw the solid-color folder that had been placed in front of her all the time in front of Qi Hai.

"Lin Cong is the spokesperson chosen by the sales department. We didn't even know he was going to sign the contract before. What about you, Director Qi? Here are all the evidences of your abuse of personal rights over the years!"

Qi Hai pretended to be calm, but after turning over the first page of the document, his face turned pale: "This... this cannot be used as evidence."

Zhong Lanying said: "Last year, you deliberately delayed the time to delay the company's contact with the preferred spokesperson, causing him to sign a contract with the opponent first. Then you yourself recommended another spokesperson who is not qualified enough in all aspects, and instructed others to fake IP addresses to increase sales. Besides, I don’t even bother to go through the fraudulent accounts and misappropriation of public funds—Director Qi, do you know how easy it is to check emails now?”

Qi Yun's father can be promoted to the position of sales director in the Asian region, and his business ability and network prestige will not be too bad. It is impossible for the company to conclude that his son is abusing his personal power just because his son almost got an endorsement.It must be proved that Director Qi made an obvious mistake in choosing the spokesperson, or find evidence that he violated the company's regulations.

Director Qi has been in LIM for seven or eight years, and has never been dug out for any major problems.The Lin family is the largest shareholder and the core of the design team. While devoting themselves to design, they discuss the future development of the brand with shareholders, and have no time to care about these dark corners.

The endorsement dispute between Lin Cong and Qi Yun made them suspicious of Qi Hai, and the more they searched, the more suspicious they became. Lin Yingshan's assistant finally found out the communication records deposited in the company's email.

Most of the employees in the sales department originally wanted to invite a popular singer who became popular last year to be their spokesperson, but Qi Hai didn't nod for a long time, and even found various reasons to obstruct it. In the end, it dragged on for more than two months until the singer signed the contract. The endorsement of LIM's rival clothing brand.

As for the spokesmen recommended by Qi Hai last year, there were only a few dozen sporadic transactions that were not done by swiping.

Although Qi Hai was surprised, he quickly recovered his tactful attitude, squinted his eyes, and smiled uncomfortably: "Last year's promotion may not have been enough, fans may not have waited for the sale on time..."

Lin Yingshan took a sip of coffee silently: "Director Qi, you should be very clear, we have a way to make you unable to gain a foothold in this industry, everyone cast aside."

The smile on Qi Hai's face finally froze, he gritted his teeth, and was almost incoherent: "With such a big brand, a mere celebrity can't bring much goods. If Lin Cong also has the same grades, you can't... drive me away." go out."

Zhong Lanying said with a smile: "Lin Cong will not make a joke that there were only 10 transactions in the first two days of the sale!"

Lin Cong listened to Qi Hai's flustered and helpless explanation, and saw the director of LIM who was still provoking him just now, unable to argue in front of his parents, the more Lin Cong listened, the more he felt numb.

He doesn't even know why his parents let him sit in.Looking at the high-spirited looks of the two, he felt that they were very strange.

They turn their hands into clouds and rain in their own companies, and they can easily make an executive unable to get along in the fashion circle.They never need to worry about it themselves. Every time they say they are forced to go on a business trip, they actually go abroad to enjoy exotic customs while working.

They ridiculously hid the fact that their family was superior and left him alone for so many years.

Qi Hai was speechless, and when he went out, he closed the door heavily.

In the cold silence, Lin Yingshan and Zhong Lanying finally apologized to Lin Cong in unison: "I'm sorry."

"Back then we just felt that it was better to let you know the hardships of life than to spoil you."

"We were going to tell you when you were in high school, but we couldn't."

"Some time ago we saw the news on the Internet that you were stingy, and felt that we could no longer hide it and let you be wronged, so we bought you a sports car and asked Uncle Huo Liang to hand it over to you to tell you the truth. But you don't believe it anyway."

"When the sales department said that the spokesperson planned to choose you, we decided to tell you in this way—"

Countless pale words poured in, and Lin Cong felt the air was stagnant, making him breathless.

After a long time, he said softly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Am I not sensible enough to be obedient since I was a child? Even if I become a rich man, I am still me. I will not suddenly indulge in pleasure and let you down just because I have money and no worries—"

"Do you really understand me?"

Lin Cong felt that the tip of his nose was sore, his eye sockets were burning, but no tears could be seen when he lightly touched his fingers.

Lin Yingshan and Zhong Lanying were also speechless. No matter what difficulties they had, concealing them would be the greatest harm to their relatives.

Lin Cong picked up his clothes and said with a smile, "Anyone can be the endorsement, I don't want to take your things."

Finally he heard his parents say, "It's okay, we'll wait for your nod."

When Lin Cong went out, he saw that the company's car hadn't left yet. He opened the door and went in. Jing Qian hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going to have dinner with Boss Lin?"

"Don't eat, I don't want the endorsement."

He didn't know how red his eyes were. He who was always gentle in front of others seemed to have thorns all over his body.

Jing Qian was distressed, but an inexplicable anger also rose up, so she could only suppress it: "How important this endorsement is to you, don't you know in your heart? What you need is such a high-end fashion brand. Now time It just so happens that your enthusiasm is still there, and when you miss Lim, you will soon join a filming group, and you will not be able to find a more suitable endorsement."

"I know." Lin Cong calmed down a little.

"Tell me what's going on? You're having a bad day."

"I don't know how to speak, the matter is too complicated." The more he spoke, the more confused he became, "Sister Qian, give me a few days to think about it, okay?"

When Jing Qian heard this, she became anxious: "LIM can't wait--"

Lin Cong smiled helplessly: "No, they are begging me to nod."

Jing Qian was stunned.

Today's Lin Cong is too different, more angular and more confident than before. If the brilliance of this confidence is not shrouded in inexplicable anger and sadness, she will be happy for Lin Cong's transformation from the bottom of her heart.

She also said helplessly: "Forget it, you should think about your future clearly, and don't make decisions that you will regret."

Liu Xiao, who dared not speak out in the passenger seat, handed over two bottles of water: "Lin... Brother Lin, sister Qian, drink water."

Lin Cong took the level, only to find that his palm was hot.

He once imagined how to use it if he suddenly had a lot of savings.

First of all, we need to buy a new house and a new car for our parents, and then persuade them not to work so hard, so that the family can travel happily.

However, now it seems that for them, a caravan is nothing more than a piece of cake, work is an enjoyment for them, and business trips all over the world and attending various high-end occasions are just commonplace.

He should celebrate that he has no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Getting rich overnight is almost everyone's dream, and he shouldn't be ignorant of his blessings.He should laugh and show off to his friends, then enjoy and celebrate this sudden "surprise".

But now he only feels that the innocent little boy who longs for family affection in his heart has been crushed today.

Liu Xiao in the passenger seat looked at Lin Cong's sudden loss, and didn't know how to comfort him.

At this moment, WeChat rang, and Fei Lang sent a message: 【How is he doing? 】

Liu Xiao replied: [Brother Lin is not in a good mood today, maybe he is tired. 】

Although Fei Lang asked her to help, it was Lin Cong's own business after all, and she didn't want to give Fei Lang too many details.
