Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Alright then, this way, Sister Feng has been waiting for you for a long time."

The boss shrugged, realizing that Xu Lin didn't want to have much contact with the operations team right now, so he didn't do anything extra and just took the two of them to the recording studio.

Sister Feng, 25 years old, female, is the manager of Xu Lin and his first batch of trainees.

He is also the only person who has had offline contact with Xu Lin and handed over work during the operation. He is a rather peculiar person, the kind of boss-level corporate slave who has a completely different personality at work and after get off work.

My real name is Feng, and my online ID is Fengwei.

It's said to be a homonym of her name (information from the boss).

"We've finally reached a secluded place."

As they walked, just as they were about to reach the recording studio, the boss suddenly wiped away his sweat, turned around, stared intently at Xu Lin, and asked a question.

"Are you really Lin Ge? You're not all in cahoots to fool me, are you?"

"What do you mean, you fatso! You don't believe me anymore?!"

Before Xu Lin could speak, the young lady became displeased and raised her foot, clad in a small leather shoe, to kick his lower body.

"No, no, how could I not believe you, cousin? It's just..."

Under the threat of losing everything, the boss quickly denied it, but his tone was still somewhat hesitant.

"This is really hard to believe."

Chapter 35, Section 35: The Big Liar Xu Lin

"This fact is really hard to believe."

The air around them seemed to grow colder after the boss said those words.

But this was just confirmation after his worldview was completely shattered. He had already almost believed it when Xu Lin opened his mouth with that business-like voice.

Because those three first-generation members aren't the type to joke around with him like that.

"Actually, I'm not entirely convinced myself yet..."

Xu Lin gave a bitter smile, his tone conveying a sense of resignation.

After all these days, and her period has come once already, what excuse could she possibly give him to avoid it?

"As expected, reality never follows logic."

The boss also sighed and gently patted Xu Lin on the shoulder.

"Alright, I won't ask you any more questions about your affairs, Lin Ge. I've already told Sister Feng most of it. Let's go over our stories now so we don't give anything away later."

The boss looked at Xu Lin with sympathy, reluctantly accepting that his good brother, who shared his interests, had turned into a white-haired beauty.

After all, there isn't a better explanation, is there?

Thanks.

Xu Lin forced a smile, revealing an ugly grin.

Mixed feelings.

It wasn't the transformation itself that made her feel complicated; after all, it had been almost half a month since the transformation, so what was there to be unable to accept? The reason for her complicated feelings was actually the sympathetic look in her boss's eyes.

It's the kind of sympathy that only men can understand for their best friend, subtly mixed with a touch of amazement at Xu Lin's stunning appearance after his transformation.

This made her realize that she could no longer drink beer and chat with the boys without caring about anything, just like before.

She is a girl now.

Xu Lin's melancholy probably stemmed from this longing and regret for the past.

……

Xu Lin had actually been to ESC's recording studio once before, when they recorded their debut promotional song, so he was fairly familiar with it.

However, back then, ESC was just starting out and was a makeshift operation, with far fewer machines than it is now.

Moreover, since the three young ladies that the boss brought in were all higher up in the food chain than the boss, the operation of the first generation members was actually done by themselves at that time, and they did most of the work themselves.

Feng Jie was one of the later-joined operations staff. She joined the company with the second-generation members, but because of her exceptional work ability and strong personality, she was able to manage the first-generation members who had become seasoned veterans. In addition, Xu Lin and the others were also very tired from juggling both live streaming and planning at the time, so Feng Jie became the operations staff for the first-generation members.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Lin only met this operations manager a few times.

"Sister Feng, is all the equipment set up and working?"

Because the boss is relatively young and has an easygoing personality, he addresses the more experienced and capable operations staff as "brother" and "sister."

To be honest, Xu Lin had always been curious why his boss, who was clearly a rich second-generation, would develop such a personality. Generally speaking, even if a rich second-generation wasn't arrogant, he wouldn't be so easygoing as to call his subordinates "sister," right?

And the boss, this rich young master's favorite thing is actually eating barbecue and drinking beer with friends at a food stall, can you believe it?

"Yes, everything is ready on Xiao Zhang's end, and preparations for recording the song are complete."

Sister Feng gave a serious report, but her eyes kept drifting towards Xu Lin.

Unfortunately, although Feng Jie, who had to pay her own tuition due to family reasons, had been working since her sophomore year and had considerable work experience, having encountered all sorts of oddballs, she had never actually met someone like Xu Lin, who never showed up and whose brother handled all the handover of work. (The boss's explanation)

"Hello, nice to meet you, Sister Feng. I'm Ruoye."

Noticing Sister Feng's gaze, Xu Lin reluctantly stepped forward and introduced himself in a professional tone.

"I'm so sorry that I kept this from you for some reason, but actually, I've been the one communicating with you online all along, so it can't really be considered our first chat www"

As Xu Lin spoke, she even chuckled softly, as if the truth were truly as she said, and she could lie so casually that she didn't even blush, extending her hand with an air of nonchalance.

Behind him, the boss watched Xu Lin's performance with a look of shock, his eyes seeming to say, "Damn, I've finally seen through your true nature today."

"Ah, hello, I'm your operations manager Feng Wei. What happened before has absolutely nothing to do with this."

Sister Feng was slightly taken aback, then quickly grasped Xu Lin's hand.

"Um, may I ask about your voice..."

After letting go, Sister Feng asked hesitantly.

There's no way around it; the contrast between Xu Lin's current appearance and her voice is just too great.

A beautiful white-haired girl paired with a mature, slightly aloof voice, plus her almost perfectly flat chest...

Sister Feng suspects that Xu Lin is actually a cross-dresser.

"Oh, sorry www (male voice), this is actually to make it more convincing, my natural voice is like this (female voice)."

Xu Lin was amused by Feng Jie's reaction. How come he had never noticed before that Feng Jie was actually a bit silly and cute at heart?

I only knew that Sister Feng was efficient and decisive at work, but when she got home and took off her clothes, she was just a lazy bum.

Wait a minute, it seems like this kind of character would fit perfectly with a touch of naivety?

A glint of wisdom flashed in Xu Lin's eyes; she seemed to have discovered the truth.

"Oh, I see. It's alright, it's alright. Let's record the song first."

Sister Feng's brain is a little slow to process this.

"Cousin, aren't you afraid of being scammed by this guy while you're living together? Look at Lin Ge, she's no different from those old financial swindlers. If I didn't know the truth, I would have been fooled too. (whispering)"

Behind them, the boss quietly pulled the young lady back two steps and whispered something in her ear.

"Oh? You're so sure I'm not lying to you?"

However, Miss Youyue showed no respect for the boss. She glanced at him, uttered a meaningful remark, and left to record a song with Xu Lin.

"Did I make a mistake by trying to matchmake my cousin and Lin Ge back then...?"

Yes, that's right. One of the reasons Xu Youyue likes Xu Lin is because of the boss's secret matchmaking.

Although judging from the current situation, even without any help, the young lady will gradually fall in love with Xu Lin, but it certainly won't be as fast as it is now.

After all, the boss was the best teammate back then, giving the two of them a lot of help. Several collaborations between Xu Lin and the young lady were held under his secret operation. Some of the comments and cotton candy that were fueling the fire were even posted by the boss secretly using an alternate account.

Then. . .

Looking at her cousin, who seemed to have been corrupted by Xu Lin and had learned to speak in a sarcastic and unpleasant tone.

The boss had a slight regret.

"It seems that my cousin, who was arrogant but incredibly innocent, is gone forever~"

P.S.: Almost a thousand followers!

Chapter 36, Section 36: Miss Lin chickened out today too.

The process of recording songs is very tedious.

Although we spent the whole afternoon yesterday getting to know each other, various problems, big and small, still arose during the actual recording.

There's no way around it; the first generation of trainees are all positioned as vocal powerhouses, so it's understandable that the recording engineers have high expectations for them. Although many problems can be solved in post-production, it's certainly better to sing them out directly in terms of effect.

"Boss, is it really okay for Ruoye to be like this?"

Outside the recording studio, Feng Jie, who couldn't really help much anyway, gave Xu Lin and the others two bottles of water and then waited outside. During a break in their recording session, she couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

The boss replied somewhat absentmindedly.

"That's right. Ruoye is now debuting and streaming under a male identity, which is a serious act of deception. We don't have any contingency plans in place for her identity to be exposed."

Actually, what Sister Feng really wanted to ask was whether that steady and reliable young man from before would reappear, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she could only steer the conversation towards work.

"Ah, that is indeed a problem..."

The boss snapped out of his daze, his expression turning somewhat serious.

Regardless of the circumstances, some fans will feel deceived after Xu Lin's identity is exposed, while others will be overjoyed. What the boss needs to think about now is how to minimize the negative impact.

Well, after all, Xu Lin has a lot of female fans, almost half of her total fan base. If it were revealed that she is actually a girl, it would definitely cause quite a stir.
