Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"By the way, about that acting opportunity your second uncle offered you—Jing Ci's contract hasn't been settled yet, so who did you give it to?"

"I gave it to another actor. I did my background check on him. He's a good person. He doesn't have an agency right now. Even if he still wants to be independent and doesn't sign with my company, I can still ask him to help mentor newcomers in the future."

"As long as you know, that's fine. I'm very busy and don't have time to ask about your affairs, but my brother is a person with a rich inner world. He won't be interested in those perverted interests and won't go astray. I'm very relieved." Xu Linlang added a white glow to the pancake.

"That's right. Who am I? I'm Xu Linlang's younger brother, sister. I'll be there soon. Jing Ci has a program on CCTV today, let's watch it together."

"Okay, we'll talk when you get back."

After Jiang You arrived, General Huo came out shortly afterward. He was very happy to see his children and grandchildren surrounding him and gave everyone a red envelope, giving special attention to Huo Xin and Xu Linlang.

"Xiao You, take good care of your mother and sister."

"Yes, Grandpa." Jiang You gave a playful salute.

Xu Linlang felt a pang of sadness. This old man, who had experienced countless wars throughout his life, was about to leave the world he loved and his descendants. He was already showing signs of exhaustion and would pass away peacefully in two months.

"Dad, my older brother can't come back, but he asked me to wish you a Happy New Year on his behalf," Huo Xin said, leaning on his father's shoulder.

"Good, but serving the country is more important." The old man interpreted this ideal with his life.

The old man was very weak and passed away after a short time. Huo Xin, who was often abroad, rarely visited his father. Instead of staying at home, he went with his father to the nursing home to spend the New Year with him.

Xu Linlang followed her to the gate and whispered to her mother, "Mom, please don't leave this time. I..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the old man who had already boarded the car and said, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Huo Xin glanced at her elderly father, then at her daughter: "Yes, Mom understands. You're going back to the Xu family later, right?"

"Go back before the New Year."

"Give my regards to your grandfather."

Xu Linlang watched the car drive away with mixed feelings. Her second uncle patted her on the shoulder: "Go inside, it's cold outside."

"Okay, Second Uncle, you haven't given me my New Year's money yet!"

"You're already 26 after the New Year, and you still want lucky money?" Zhao Yuanxin muttered, but his hands moved quickly as he took out a rather heavy red envelope.

As usual, my second uncle's red envelope always contained a small gold brick.

"Thank you, Second Uncle. I wish you all the best and a happy year ahead."

"Good girl, then your second uncle also wishes Linlin's wish to come true."

Upon entering the Huo family's old mansion, they saw Jiang You, who had entered earlier, holding a remote control and enthusiastically introducing it to his uncles, aunts, cousins, and other relatives.

"This is an artist from my company. Isn't he good-looking? His appearance, bone structure, temperament, and personality are all perfect. He's definitely going to be a big star. It's just that there are contract issues right now, so he can't be too prominent for the time being."

Auntie pushed up her glasses and asked curiously, "Why did Xiaoyou suddenly start an entertainment company?"

My third and fourth uncles were also adopted sons of the Huo family. My third uncle was a scientific researcher, and his wife was in the same field. The couple were very busy and didn't pay attention to anything outside of scientific research.

My fourth uncle is a politician, and my fourth aunt is a university teacher. Neither of them works in Beijing, and they only come back for the Chinese New Year.

It can be said that General Huo's four sons represent the military, politics, business, and academia.

Jiang You glanced at his sister: "Third Aunt, I just wanted to try starting a business. By chance, I found that an entertainment company was very challenging, so I registered one."

Jiang You's cousin, Zhao Jian, sat to the side and patted him on the head: "Come on, tell your brother the truth, is that what happened? Linlin wasn't involved?"

Jiang You feigned a death-defying resolve: "No, even if you torture me, I won't say anything about it being related to my sister."

"Hey, Jiang You, trying to provoke your brother? You guys come over here, hold him down and torture him for a confession." Zhao Jian called over the other brothers, and they started messing around with Jiang You.

The elders like the New Year to be lively, so they naturally watch the festivities with smiles on their faces.

Jiang You finally couldn't hold back and confessed that it was his sister who first suggested that he start an entertainment company.

"Linlin, have you changed your target? You're not interested in that Yan family boy anymore?" one of the cousins ​​asked directly, but her wording was a bit...

Xu Linlang didn't think so. With a large family and many members, you can't expect everyone to like you or spoil you. As long as they don't stab you in the back, they are good relatives.

"Cousin, I have no feelings for Jing Ci." She only answered what she wanted to answer, and didn't say anything about Yan Mingxuan.

"So you still prefer the one from the Yan family?" my cousin pressed.

Xu Linlang didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled.

Zhao Jian stepped forward: "Let's go, let's set off fireworks! Linlin, come along too, we're going to the Xu family's place later!"

"Okay." Xu Linlang stood up without hesitation.

Around 10 o'clock, Xu Linlang asked her bodyguard to drive her to the Xu family home.

"Linlang is back! How is General Huo?" Grandpa Xu, who was over seventy years old, was in good spirits and greeted his granddaughter with a smile.

"It's great, they even gave us all lucky money." Xu Linlang replied with a smile, while glancing around. Old Master Xu's younger brother's family was celebrating the New Year with them. This second grandfather had three sons, who gave him five grandchildren. These five were his legitimate children, but there were many more outside of marriage, including the second grandfather himself who had illegitimate children. He was quite a large and prosperous family.

In contrast, the Xu family branch is much quieter, consisting only of Xu Linlang and Xu Yongrui, father and daughter. Of course, Xu Yongrui's other children outside the marriage don't count.

"Little girl, is this a reminder for Grandpa to give out red envelopes?" Grandpa Xu said with a smile, picking up a thick red envelope from a cabinet and handing it over.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Happy New Year and all the best," Xu Linlang said sweetly as she accepted the red envelope with both hands.

Compared to my maternal grandfather and several uncles, the red envelopes from the Xu family were much thinner, each containing 10,000 yuan in cash. Moreover, only Grandpa Xu would give out red envelopes; my second grandfather would not give out a single penny.

"Xu Linlang, I heard you've changed your taste? Now you like a celebrity who's embroiled in lawsuits?" one of Xu's second grandfather's aunts asked with ill intent.

"My aunt has heard so much."

"As your elder, your aunt has to say something to you, Linlang. As a young lady of the Xu family, how can your taste be so bad? First, you took a fancy to the Yan family boy who needed the Xu family's support. That's one thing, since he's a respectable person. But how can an actor be so infatuated with you?"
