Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 226 Come to my bowl!
"To become a star?"

In Taiwan, many beautiful girls dream of becoming stars.

After all, celebrities seem glamorous to outsiders.

Lin Chih-ling is no exception in this regard.

"With your talent, you could absolutely become a star like Brigitte Lin, but the prerequisite is that you hone your acting skills."

Cao Jian has never been a fan of Lin Chih-ling's acting skills, but she is naturally gifted and has excellent physical attributes.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my parents. Their plan is for me to study abroad."

Although Lin Chih-ling was very tempted, she was still in school and did not have independent financial means, so she had to listen to her parents' arrangements for many things.

"Alright."

Cao Jian did not object. He took out his business card and said, "This is my phone number. Let me know when you've discussed it. The campus beauty pageant will start in the second half of the year, and the results will be announced at the end of the year."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Lin Chih-ling carefully took the business card and suddenly said, "Could you sign your name on this? I really like your songs."

"Ha ha."

Cao Jian took out a pen, signed his name on the business card, and said, "I'll wait for your call."

After saying that, he stood up and, as he left, added, "Study hard. Even if you become a star, it's never a bad thing to read more books."

"I see."

Hearing such caring words, Lin Chih-ling felt that her idol was really kind and charming, no wonder so many people liked her.

Therefore, she kept Cao Jian's words firmly in mind.

As they left the bubble tea shop, Yang Junjun asked, "Have you taken a liking to this girl?"

"Yes."

Cao Jian was not reserved at all and admitted it directly.

I just want her body, so what? I work hard to earn money so I can find a young and beautiful girl, so what?
"You're quite honest."

"This is the only one good point I have, and you noticed it."

"Haha, you're really funny."

Yang Junjun could tell that Cao Jian had feelings for the pretty girl from earlier, but she could understand it.

Lin Chih-ling, who just spoke, is not only beautiful but also has a perfect figure. What man wouldn't like her?
Unfortunately, I've been so busy with work and often stay up late that my youthful appearance has faded.
After Cao Jian left, Lin Zhiling didn't rush to leave. She sat in the milk tea shop, finished her lemon coffee, and ordered several more cups, intending to take them back for her classmates to try as well.

"My idol can not only sing and act, but also do business. I want to learn from him."

Lin Chih-ling, holding her milk tea, walked towards school, while also thinking about how to persuade her parents.

After school, Lin Chih-ling took a shower, put on her pajamas, and sat on the sofa to watch TV with her parents.

On TV, they were showing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," a series that had only recently been imported to China, with Cao Jian as the main character.

"Why is it this guy again? He just played Zhang Wuji in the first half of the year, and now he's playing Guo Jing?"

Lin Chih-ling's mother was watching TV and muttered something casually.

"Because he's popular. Look at this Guo Jing, he feels completely different from the previous Zhang Wuji."

Lin Chih-ling had just met with Tsao Chien, and now she had to speak up for her idol.

"His acting was good, but I just feel like he's taken over the TV station."

After finishing her sentence, Lin's mother continued watching TV.

Actually, she is also an actor. Although she thinks Cao Jian acted very well, he is much better than Ma Jingtao, who is currently somewhat famous in Taiwan and likes to shout when acting.

But he's just so popular lately. You switch channels and he's on one channel, then another, and he's still on another.

Even when walking down the street, I still hear that song, "Too Softhearted."

My ears are practically calloused from hearing it.

Lin Chih-ling seized the opportunity and said, "Mom and Dad, actually, I met Cao Jian from TV today. He said I have the potential to be a star and wants to make me famous."

"Who?"

Mr. and Mrs. Lin, who were watching TV, were startled and looked at their daughter.

"it's him."

Lin Chih-ling pointed to "Guo Jing" on the TV and asked, "Actually, I also want to be a star. Can you support me?"

"Lingling, our family isn't short of money. You should study hard, help me at my company after graduation, and then marry a man from a similar background. Isn't that better than being a celebrity?"

Lin's father is a businessman with a successful career, and his family is relatively well-off. He doesn't want his daughter to become a celebrity.

"Yes, your father is right. If you take the college entrance exam in the US again next year, you'll definitely get in." As an actress, Lin's mother knew more about the shady things in the entertainment industry.

My daughter is so beautiful, and now someone is saying they want to make her famous. That's definitely malicious.

Lin Chih-ling, however, did not want to follow her parents' wishes and get married and have children.

Moreover, their talk of "marrying someone of equal social standing" is actually an attempt to use themselves as bargaining chips for political marriages.

Thinking about that kind of life, Lin Chih-ling, a girl with her own ideas, was naturally a little scared and immediately said, "But I still want to be a star."

"no!"

"I'm all grown up now, I have my own ideas. If you keep controlling me like this, I'll run away from home!"

At this time, Lin Chih-ling seemed like a child who hadn't yet passed her rebellious phase.

Originally, she wanted to discuss it with her parents, but their words, "Find a boy of equal social standing to marry," stung her.

"You dare! I'll break your legs!"

Mr. Lin was furious. What's wrong with his daughter today? Why is she being so disobedient?
Could it be that you were discouraged because you tried to get into a good university in the US for the past two years but failed?
If she doesn't go to the US to gain experience, how can she marry well when she comes back?

"Go ahead and hit me! Just interrupt me now!"

Lin Chih-ling was very sad. Her parents were good in every way, but they didn't respect her ideas.

For the past two years, I've been encouraged to apply to universities abroad. My classmates are already in college, and I'm twenty years old and still stuck in high school. It's embarrassing.
"you"

Lin's father was just saying it in anger. How could he really bear to break his daughter's long legs?
The father and daughter sat on the sofa, both fuming and not saying a word.

Lin's mother wanted to persuade her, but fearing it would only make things worse, she remained silent.

Lin Chih-ling remained silent for a while, fuming, before suddenly saying, "I can do as you wish and try my best to study abroad, but you also have to agree to my becoming a star, otherwise, I really will run away from home!"

Then she added, "I'm already twenty years old, I'm an adult now. If you still don't agree, I'll go to Cao Jian. He said he wants to make me famous, and he'll definitely be willing to help me!"

Upon hearing this, the parents fell silent.

My daughter has indeed grown up. It would be too embarrassing if she really ran away from home.

Even if I become famous in the future, I will still be laughed at.

Moreover, Cao Jian is definitely after his daughter's beauty.
But what can you do if you disagree?
After a long silence, the two finally decided to agree to let her study abroad for a few years.

My thoughts might change after a few years abroad.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were of one mind. They exchanged a glance, and Mr. Lin finally said, "Alright, we'll do it your way."

"Thank you dad."

Lin Chih-ling was finally happy.

Watching Guo Jing practicing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms on TV, she thought to herself, "I could become the number one winner in the school beauty pageant, I could become a star, and maybe I could even be around my idol all the time."

……

As for Cao Jian, he met Lin Zhiling today and felt that although she was not as elegant as he would be in the future, her youth was an advantage.

It seems the campus beauty pageant should be held sooner rather than later.

Back at the hotel, he immediately called TTV and told them that he would start a campus beauty pageant in the second half of the year.

This competition will be hosted by YES! and TTV, and exclusively sponsored by Honey Ice Cream Milk Tea.

As for other sponsorships, Cao Jian left it to TTV to handle.

First, there will be a preliminary selection, then a final selection, and finally the final on New Year's Day.

"Manager Zhang, please tell your station director that I already have a candidate for first place."

"You're going to pre-select someone?"

Manager Zhang was taken aback, then asked, "Who is the person you've been chosen from within? What do they look like? Don't let them get the short end of the stick."

Cao Jian said confidently, "Don't you trust my taste in women?"

"That's true."

Manager Zhang thought of the woman beside Cao Jian and stopped talking.

If you pre-determine the first place winner, then the TV station can manipulate the second and third place winners, which will also benefit them.

That's how selection is done.

"Sister Lin, come quickly into your brother's bowl."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Jian couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of Lin Chih-ling, who was both beautiful and knew how to speak sweetly.
