Chapter 436 - 265: Qin Yangyang Meets Her Mother-in-law (2)

His girlfriend...

Now it was Li Xiaoping’s turn to be at a loss.

’I already met one at noon, and now here’s another...’

"Come, come, have a seat."

Li Xiaoping reacted quickly, greeting her warmly.

’I’ll put aside the issue of him having multiple girlfriends for now. He brought her home, so I definitely can’t give her the cold shoulder.’

Sitting nervously in front of Li Xiaoping, Qin Yangyang was so flustered she could barely speak.

"My mom’s not a monster. Don’t be so nervous."

’This is my future mother-in-law!’

’How could I not be nervous?!’

"Dear, how long have you two known each other?" Li Xiaoping asked with a smile.

’This girl is lovely, too.’ From the look in Qin Yangyang’s eyes, she could tell she was completely smitten.

"It’s been a little over three months..." Qin Yangyang said awkwardly.

"That’s not a short time at all."

"Mhm."

The two of them sat together and chatted for a while.

Qin Yangyang started to relax, no longer as nervous as before. The two of them were soon laughing constantly.

They held hands as their conversation turned to trivial family matters, and then they started complaining about some of Lin Jiang’s bad habits.

When she learned that Qin Yangyang had also graduated from a prestigious university and was a top lawyer, she became even happier.

’This one’s wonderful too, she’s also wonderful...’ she kept repeating in her mind.

Lin Jiang sat to the side, completely unable to get a word in, so he stopped paying attention to them.

He opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Lin Jiang]

[Skills: Culinary Skill (Basic), Fighting Technique (Basic), Baji Fist (Beginner), Driving (Master Level), Swimming (Beginner), Basketball (Basic), Diving (Master Level)]

[Attributes: Physique 27, Comprehension 36, Charm 25]

[Martial Force: 28]

[Teammate: Xu Lin]

[Item: Fitness Card x1]

[Treasure Chest: 100/100]

’Select Treasure.’

Three familiar treasure chests appeared. After opening them, three eye icons were revealed.

Treasure Chest One: Reward: Eye of Talent (Allows you to view a target’s talent in acting and singing).

Treasure Chest Two: Reward: Eye of Enchantment (Causes a female target to become infatuated with your charm, unable to break free).

Treasure Chest Three: Reward: Eye of Insight (Allows you to view a female target’s weaknesses, making it easier to breach her defenses and make your move).

Looking at the three rewards, Lin Jiang found them all very interesting.

Especially the second and third ones, which were clearly not for decent purposes.

The first one, however, was also very useful for him at his current stage.

’Select Treasure!’

[Selection Successful: Treasure Chest One: Reward: Eye of Talent (Allows you to view a target’s talent in acting and singing)]

’Tongzi, you really don’t give me any of the good stuff unless I exploit a bug, do you?’

After Tongzi’s notification sound ended, Lin Jiang’s vision blurred for a moment, but it returned to normal after a few seconds.

Subconsciously, Lin Jiang’s gaze fell upon Qin Yangyang.

Two sets of numbers appeared above her head.

[Name: Qin Yangyang]

[Singing Talent: 31 (Average person: 60)]

[Acting Talent: 9 (Average person: 60)]

’So basically, Qin Lu has absolutely no talent in these areas?’

’With talent this low, there would be no room for improvement even if she found a master to teach her.’

’But with this gadget, won’t I become the next godfather of entertainment?’

...

「Xi Yuan Technology Co., Ltd., Trendy World Division.」

At this time, the office lights were still blazing. Most of the people in the division hadn’t gone home yet.

In an office, Zhou Jin was in a meeting with the company’s Deputy General Manager, Zheng Tongbiao.

"This Saturday, Super Fun’s cheerleading competition is holding its Zhonghai City finals, and it clashes with our event. They’re deliberately going against us, trying to steal our traffic."

Zheng Tongbiao looked grim, his brows furrowed.

"Their competition has official backing, so it’s getting more hype than ours. Plus, it leads to a worldwide competition later on. We can’t compete with that. They’ve got a death grip on this wave of traffic."

Zhou Jin sat silently in his chair.

This was a critical phase of their rivalry. If he couldn’t pull through, Trendy World would be completely eclipsed by Super Fun.

"That son of a bitch, all he knows is how to play these dirty tricks," Zhou Jin cursed.

"You can’t really say that. When we were planning the project, our thinking on this matter was definitely flawed," Zheng Tongbiao said.

"We thought the audience just liked watching girls dance, so we created this event. But that’s not what netizens are interested in at all. They just want to see boobs, legs, and asses. Super Fun’s cheerleading event, on the other hand, is full of young, beautiful female college students. Miniskirts and tight outfits are mandatory. That’s where we lost."

Back then, when Lin Jiang decided to hold a cheerleading competition, this was precisely his goal.

Both Zhou Jin and Zheng Tongbiao had been in high-ranking positions for too long. They couldn’t relate to the thinking of an average netizen and assumed people would like a rhythmic sport.

It wasn’t that they were wrong, per se, but the audience simply preferred looking at big boobs and legs.

Besides that, the most important factor was the selection of participants.

The participants in the cheerleading competition were all young, beautiful female college students. Trendy World’s jazz dance competition, however, was open to the public. This resulted in the contestants’ looks and figures being a mixed bag.

Sure, some were attractive, but others... their looks were hard to put into words.

Zhou Jin had personally seen a girl weighing over two hundred pounds enter the jazz dance competition. She was also incredibly arrogant, all but wearing the four words "Don’t mess with me" written on her face.

In contrast, look at Super Fun’s cheerleading competition.

Every single person chosen to compete was carefully selected; there wasn’t an ugly one among them.

When you compared the two, the difference in quality was immediately obvious.
