Being in the modeling industry, my information is updated daily.

Chapter 182 Old Lin, if you want to control me, you need a powerful backer. [Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader, 5k words]

When checking out, Lin Qingsong didn't forget to ask the hotel for a room key as a souvenir.

These luxury hotels really put a lot of thought into the design of their room key cards, and he gradually came to like collecting them.

Although he has only been collecting room keys for a short time, he has already collected nearly 40-50% of the five-star hotels in Shanghai.

He estimated it himself.

At this rate, I might be able to collect all the room cards for five-star hotels in Shanghai by the end of this year.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the time or inclination to engage in self-media.

Otherwise, given his frequency of activity, if he were to conduct a hotel review, it would definitely be the most reliable review ever.

Half past twelve noon.

No. 76, Wenxi Road South Street, Shapotou District, is the "Jiangnan of the North" mutton shop.

Lin Qingsong sat opposite Tian Xiwei, picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "How is it? The food at this restaurant is pretty good, isn't it?"

Because it was already past midnight when we set off.

In addition, their itinerary also passed by the mutton shop mentioned in the system intelligence.

Since that's the case, why don't we have lunch here before heading to North Long Beach?

Hearing his words, Tian Xiwei across from him couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and say, "Old Lin, this flavor is definitely right!"

I am from Sichuan Province.

The simple phrase "yes" is already an excellent compliment.

After stuffing another piece of meat into her mouth, she said with a look of amazement, "Old Lin, this mutton has no gamey smell at all, only a milky aroma. What kind of mutton is this?"

Those who wish to appear virtuous in public must suffer in private.

Lin Qingsong had done his research before coming, and answered confidently, "Ningxia Tan sheep."

"Oh, oh, oh." Tian Xiwei couldn't help but stuff another bite of meat into her mouth before continuing, "Old Lin, I didn't expect you to find such a delicious place in Zhongwei!"

"Of course, alright, hurry up and eat. I'm planning to go treasure hunting after I finish eating, you haven't forgotten, have you?" Lin Qingsong said, raising an eyebrow.

"No, no." After quickly finishing what was on her plate, Tian Xiwei asked curiously, "But Lao Lin, are you sure the educated youth settlement over there hasn't been demolished?"

To make the afternoon's itinerary more interesting, Lin Qingsong teased Tian Xiwei, saying that he had found a used book at a secondhand bookstore in Shanghai, which turned out to be a memoir of educated youth sent to the countryside.

When I had nothing to do, I flipped through some pages and found that this old educated youth had once received a letter with a monkey stamp attached, but he left it at Beichangtan and it was destroyed by the educated youth there.

Although the stamps with postmarks are only worth a few thousand yuan, the thrill of the treasure hunt still made Tian Xiwei extremely excited.

If Lin Qingsong hadn't insisted on eating first, she probably would have headed straight to Beichangtan without even having a meal.

“Because the buildings there have a lot of history, it has been designated as one of the first batch of ‘National Historical and Cultural Villages’ in Ningxia. How could it possibly be demolished?” After wiping his mouth, Lin Qingsong looked at her and said, “Let’s go, let’s get the things and go back to Suji to rest as soon as possible.”

Go back to the dormitory early to rest.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

While she was in the car, her agent suddenly sent her a message asking why she refused the magazine shoot.

"Old Lin, let me talk to my agent first." She looked at Lin Qingsong helplessly. "She keeps asking me why I refused the magazine shoot. I'll explain it to her."

"Row."

After Lin Qingsong nodded, he suddenly remembered the intelligence he had seen that morning.

With a smile, he took out his phone, changed the location back to Shanghai, and then ordered milk tea and duck products for Gu Wen.

After sending a screenshot of the interface to Gu Wen, he sent another message: "Gu Gu, your food is being delivered, don't forget to eat it."

I need to enjoy some sweets, but I can't forget about Gu Gu, who's all the way in Shanghai!

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Gu Wen, who was arranging bags in the store, put down what she was doing and picked up her phone to take a look when she heard it ring.

Upon seeing that it was Lin Qingsong, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, and he muttered to himself, "Old Lin?"

"You old Lin, you're trying to make me gain weight even though the person hasn't shown up yet?" Gu Wen felt helpless looking at the order screenshot in the chat box, but she was also inexplicably happy.

"Haha, I'm living the high life in Zhongwei. It's a bit heartbreaking to think about you all alone in Shanghai, running your shop!" After saying that, Lin Qingsong sent a few more photos of himself that he had taken after arriving in Zhongwei.

Seeing that there were two photos of Lin Qingsong himself among the food photos, Gu Wen subconsciously clicked on them and zoomed in to take a look, but quickly realized that her behavior was a bit like that of a pervert.

If you're going to look at it, then look at it. Why zoom in?

But looking at Lin Qingsong's appearance in the photo, she couldn't help but want to say a few words of praise.

How can he be so handsome?!

In her opinion, Lin Qingsong didn't have that "pretty boy" vibe.

The photo he sent showed him wearing a black short-sleeved vest, white snow camouflage pants, and a pair of yellow boots.

The background shows him standing on golden sand dunes, his well-built but not particularly large muscles giving him a sharp and sunny good looks.

"Old Lin, you've gone a bit too far with these photos. How can I even look at them?" Gu Wen, holding her phone, ignored her bag and walked to the sofa to chat happily with Lin Qingsong.

“This is going too far.” After sending another photo he had given Vivian yesterday, Lin Qingsong replied, “This is going too far.”

After sending the message, he looked up and glanced at Tian Xiwei beside him.

As a result, she was seen typing rapidly, her thumb tapping back and forth on the phone screen, clearly having a very intense conversation with her agent.

"Old Lin, wait a few more minutes! Sigh, why won't they believe me!" Tian Xiwei's face was full of frustration.

"What did you say?" Lin Qingsong looked at her in confusion.

“I just said it directly.” Tian Xiwei finished speaking and continued to work hard with her thumb.

"Did you use Qin Lan and Dilraba as examples? After all, you've interacted with them on Weibo before."

"Oh, how come I didn't think of that!"

Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up. She had just been repeatedly emphasizing to her agent that she hadn't been deceived, while also constantly explaining how amazing Lin Qingsong really was.

But why didn't they think of using Qin Lan and Dilraba to prove themselves?

Thinking of this, she quickly got back to work.

While taking a screenshot, he said to Lin Qingsong, "Old Lin, give me a few more minutes!"

"Mmm." Lin Qingsong nodded, then continued looking at his phone, not knowing how Gu Wen replied.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Gu Wen sat on the sofa.

She looked at her phone with a slightly flushed face.

She didn't expect Lin Qingsong to give her a perk in broad daylight.

Look at the photo once, then look at the photo again.

Click on the photo and take another look.

Save it and take another look.

After reading it several times, she finally let out a heavy sigh and replied to Lin Qingsong, "Old Lin, this is a bit against the rules, please withdraw it quickly."

After saying that, she was afraid that she hadn't clicked save, so she quickly pressed the photo again and then clicked save.

Upon seeing Gu Wen's message, Lin Qingsong sent a few laughing emojis before replying, "Then I'll retract it. Do you want to save it first?"

"Who saved it? I didn't save it!" Gu Wen replied subconsciously, but after seeing Lin Qingsong's message, she immediately felt embarrassed and wanted to retract it.

But Lin Qingsong had already seen it and couldn't help but send a series of ellipses.

OK OK.

Gu Wen looks like a mature and sophisticated woman, but something about her seems a bit vague.

"What I mean is, I wouldn't have saved it, I definitely didn't save it," Gu Wen couldn't help but explain.

But I always felt that the more I explained, the worse it got, so I finally gave up and just sent another message: "Any more? One more!"

"Okay, okay, so Gu Gu, you like this kind of thing."

When Lin Qingsong saw this, he couldn't help but want to applaud her.

Is this considered giving up entirely?
However, he still randomly picked a few similar photos from his phone's album and sent them over.

no way.

The demand was so high that he had stockpiled quite a few of these photos.

We can't just take pictures on the spot.

"Old Lin, you have a really great physique!"

Gu Wen carefully preserved each and every one of the photos.

Then, he replied to Lin Qingsong with a comfortable smile.

tonight.

No.

We have the spellcasting materials for the next period of time!

“Gu Gu, one should be fair. You have the materials for casting spells, so what about mine?” Lin Qingsong believed in reciprocity.

I posted so many photos, I can't possibly not get any of them back, right?

Upon seeing it, Gu Wen, slightly embarrassed, retrieved a photo she had taken on a whim from the deepest part of her phone's album.

There are many factors involved.

Bunny girl, stockings, little leather shoes.

It appears to be revealing but not transparent, yet it is full of allure.

After hesitating for a moment, she still sent the photo out.

Upon seeing the photo, Lin Qingsong silently gave her a thumbs-up. Then, just like her, he clicked save.

"Gu Gu, I think this outfit is missing something."

Upon seeing this news, Gu Wen couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

"What is this?" She was quite satisfied with her outfit.

"You're missing my leg," Lin Qingsong teased her with a smile.

Gu Wen's legs are just as good as Tian Xiwei's; both are white and straight.

However, because of Gu Wen's height, her legs have an added advantage of being long.

This gave Lin Qingsong an inexplicable urge to hug him.

Especially her two legs, one leg was wearing a stocking, but the other leg was not.

While clearly distinguishing between black and white, it also possesses a unique allure.

"Come on," Gu Wen said, as if possessed, and took another picture of her legs. "Hold me."

After sending it, she felt a little regretful.

I wonder if I went a bit too far.

Lin Qingsong didn't care about any of that. He opened the original image and saved it!

After completing the three steps, he smiled and said, "Wait for me to go back."

After finishing her conversation with Gu Wen, Tian Xiwei, who was standing next to her, also finished her conversation with her agent.

She said with a big smile, "Old Lin, it's all taken care of."

"Didn't your agent say anything more?" Lin Qingsong put down his phone and looked at her curiously. "Didn't he say he wanted to see me?"

"I told him, but I refused." Tian Xiwei revealed a cute smile: "Old Lin, you're my exclusive thigh, you can't let others see you."

She had worked incredibly hard to overtake others, so how could she so easily hand over her connections to the company?

The car drove for about another twenty minutes before arriving at North Long Beach.

Although this is a tourist attraction, and the buildings in the village are very distinctive.

However, because it's a bit remote, there aren't many people around.

In addition, the village is quite large, so you can hardly see any people at once.

Standing in front of the large red sign that reads "National Famous Historical and Cultural Village".

Lin Qingsong looked at the few tiled houses not far away and said to Tian Xiwei beside him, "If the memoir is not mistaken, that should be the educated youth settlement."

"Really? Let's go check it out!" Tian Xiwei immediately perked up and grabbed Lin Qingsong's arm, ready to walk forward.

Upon arriving at the educated youth settlement, Lin Qingsong looked at the peeling paint on the walls and circled around before finally discovering that the door at the back was unlocked.

"Xiao Tian, ​​over here." Lin Qingsong called out to Tian Xiwei, who was about to climb over the wall, and pushed open the back door to go inside.

Entering through the back door, there was a small, abandoned vegetable field.

"Old Lin, do you remember where the letter was left, as mentioned in the memoir?"

After entering, Tian Xiwei looked around at her surroundings.

"Inside the kang (heated brick bed)." Lin Qingsong said, and followed the system's instructions to the inner room.

The educated youth were probably excited because they knew they were going back, and the rooms inside weren't locked.

Lin Qingsong and Tian Xiwei arrived at the kang (heated brick bed) in the inner room without any problems.

"Let me touch it, let me touch it!" Tian Xiwei looked at the kang hole in front of her with great excitement.

I was filled with an intense anticipation for what was about to happen.

She had never experienced a treasure hunt like this before.

Lin Qingsong didn't really care; after all, it was all dusty inside, so let her touch it if she wanted.

Tian Xiwei wasn't afraid of getting dirty, so she squatted down and reached in to feel around.

She quickly looked at Lin Qingsong with excitement, "Old Lin, I touched it!! I touched it!"

When she pulled her hand out of the dusty stove hole.

The letter that had been left in the dust also saw the light of day again.

Looking at the monkey stamp stuck to it, Lin Qingsong didn't feel much.

After all, he had previously managed to snag a Large Dragon stamp.

But Tian Xiwei was different; she picked up the letter and read it over and over again.

Especially the monkey stamp that's stuck on it.

"Old Lin, can such a small stamp really sell for six thousand five?"

"Old Lin, this letter is a letter from home to ensure your safety."

"Old Lin, you're incredibly lucky! You actually managed to find a treasure in a memoir."

"Old Lin, these stamps have all been used. Does anyone still want them?"

After leaving the educated youth settlement, Lin Qingsong strolled around Beichangtan Village for a while.

This is definitely a great tourist attraction.

Since we're already here, it would be a waste not to take a look around.

However, Tian Xiwei's mouth never stopped while she was exploring the village.

Even when she arrived at the Yellow River Inn, she was extremely excited.

Suji, Suji.

As the name suggests, it actually means a cluster of homestays.

Yellow River Homestay Cluster is the first homestay cluster project in China.

Tian Xiwei rented one of the most popular rooms in one of the guesthouses.

It is not only connected to the Yellow River, but also has a huge courtyard inside.

The courtyard is filled with century-old trees, and the guesthouse staff even set up hammocks and swings there.

Sitting on the swing, Tian Xiwei was still staring blankly at the stamps in her hand.

Lin Qingsong couldn't take it anymore. "Hey Xiaotian, don't you feel uncomfortable being all dirty? Aren't you going to take a shower?"

"wash"

Upon hearing the keyword, Tian Xiwei immediately realized what it meant after taking a shower.

Now is the crucial moment to overtake on the curve, how can I be distracted!
"Then you go first, I'll wash later."

Lin Qingsong did not say that he was leaving.

Instead, he casually picked a jujube from the jujube tree in the yard, wiped it on his clothes, and popped it into his mouth.

Ah!
sweet!
So sweet!

It truly lives up to its reputation as a sweet treat.

It's past six o'clock.

Tian Xiwei felt like her mind was going completely blank.

She lay in bed, oblivious to the fact that she was showing too much skin, her face etched with exhaustion.

"Old Lin"

Turning her head to look at Lin Qingsong, who was lying there smoking, she nuzzled him inexplicably and asked, "Do you think I can really make it in the entertainment industry?"

Lin Qingsong casually stubbed out his cigarette, turned to look at her, and asked, "What do you mean by 'breaking out'?"

Tian Xiwei murmured, "In the end, it's Sister Lan, just like Reba and the others."

"That's unlikely."

Lin Qingsong's tone remained unchanged: "They have benefited greatly from the times to get to where they are today."

"No, Lao Lin, couldn't you just lie to me for once?!"

Tian Xiwei stared at him with wide eyes.

What kind of person is this? Instead of saying something nice at a time like this, they keep pouring cold water on themselves.

“I never like to lie.” Lin Qingsong shrugged, then smiled and pinched her puffed-up cheek. “But why do you want to be like them? You and they are not on the same track.”

"Then?" Tian Xiwei asked with a hint of doubt, "What do I need to do?"

"First of all, you have round almond-shaped eyes and small dimples, which makes you a perfect sweet girl, so you can only go for the pretty flower route."

After Lin Qingsong gave her a long and easy analysis, he finally said, "In short, you can go with peace of mind. I can definitely keep up with the resources in the fashion industry."

Upon hearing these words, Tian Xiwei finally felt completely at ease.

"Old Lin, from now on you'll be my backer in the fashion industry!"

She hugged Lin Qingsong with a smile.

She then rubbed her face against his and said in a light tone, "You can't just ignore me!"
