Not long after, Xiao Qiulian brought out several of her signature dishes.
Although Xu Xiangbei had already eaten, he couldn’t help but be tempted by the feast laid out before him.
"Xiao Ai, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Xu Xiangbei asked, trying to probe gently at the dining table.
"Call me Xia Lai, not Xiao Ai." Xiao Ailing’s good mood of eating was suddenly swept away by this sentence, and she said with some resentment.
"Alright, Xiao Ai, you still haven’t answered my question!" Xu Xiangbei continued nonchalantly.
"You..." Xiao Ailing pointed her fair jade finger at Xu Xiangbei, unable to speak for a while, her somewhat nascent chest heaving in anger.
"Alright Ling Er, don’t be so stubborn, it’s just a name, Mr. Xu calling you that shows he really likes you and wants to get close to you!" Xiao Qiulian said with a smile, comforting her.
"I haven’t figured it out yet, I want to get into university, then let my mom live a good life." Xiao Ailing said angrily, her hands crossed on her chest.
"Have you ever thought about being a celebrity?" Xu Xiangbei actually had a plan in mind; Xiao Ailing’s looks are very beautiful, and her appearance is pure, she would definitely be popular in movies or TV shows.
"Celebrity? I would like to, but it’s so difficult!" Many people have had dreams of being celebrities, especially at this blossoming age of youth, hoping to stand on the highest stage, basking in admiration and cheers from countless people below.
"Celebrity? I heard the entertainment industry is very messy now, full of hidden rules everywhere." Xiao Qiulian was quite calm and said with some concern.
"In this world, where there’s light there is shadow; even the most straightforward places have dark corners, it’s unavoidable. We can only try to reduce this darkness in society!
Although there’s a bit of chaos in the entertainment circle, there are still many very clean places. If Xiao Ai really wants to be a star, I can guarantee she won’t be polluted by anything like hidden rules, I will never let them near Xiao Ai." Xu Xiangbei said firmly, with the air of directing the land.
"Ha, who can’t talk big?" Xiao Ailing sneered disdainfully.
"Don’t talk nonsense, Mr. Xu is very capable!" Xiao Qiulian hurriedly interrupted her.
"Mom, you just know how to protect her, you must have been tricked by him, what can he be capable of, he might just have some money, and perhaps is just a nouveau riche." Xiao Ailing said angrily.
"Haha, I better show a little capability then. Recently there’s a movie called ’Sword Rain Sentiments,’ have you seen it?" Xu Xiangbei found the little girl quite cute.
"Seen it, heard it’s doing well recently," Xiao Ailing didn’t know why Xu Xiangbei brought up this movie.
"This movie was led by our company, and my wife played the female lead. Do you think I have confidence in protecting you in the entertainment circle? If you want, I can bring you into this circle and provide you some resources, but how far you can go depends on you!" Xu Xiangbei said earnestly.
People nowadays, if they want to really stand firm in the entertainment industry, they need not only outstanding appearance and luck but also their own skills.
Without skills, relying only on beauty and a bit of luck, might make you very popular for a while but soon you’ll fade away, so skills are fundamental.
Xu Xiangbei believed that if Xiao Ailing entered the entertainment world, she would certainly be popular. But how long she could be popular depended on her own ability, he didn’t want the little girl just to be a vase, but to become a real superstar.
Having enough ability to stand firm, with her own unique charm, is bound to be a tough road, filled with thorns.
So if Xiao Ailing really wants to enter the entertainment industry, Xu Xiangbei needs to explain clearly to her, let her know the difficulties of this road.
"Are you trying to trick us?" Xiao Ailing was still somewhat unsure.
Xu Xiangbei was helpless, thinking why he was so hard to believe? He took out his phone and showed Xiao Ailing a photo with Gu Xinyan.
Xiao Ailing looked at it, stunned for a long time, then said, "You really have this kind of capability?"
"Of course! Have you thought it through, are you sure you want to enter the entertainment circle? Or truly want to be a star?"
"I want it, why wouldn’t I? What conditions do you have? Go ahead!" Xiao Ailing bit her silver tooth and said slowly.
"No conditions, why do you always think I have some agenda?" Xu Xiangbei felt he was almost speechless, how is it so hard to do a good deed?
"How can it be, is there such a good person in the world? Who would do something without any return?" Xiao Ailing said incredulously, then looked at Xu Xiangbei with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to see through him.
"Xiao Ai, not to criticize you, but your thinking is problematic! As the saying goes: you can’t judge a book by its cover, or measure the ocean’s depth by your hand. How can you judge me by my appearance? With my handsome looks, you just take me as a gigolo? Have you looked into my heart, I’m a righteous, kind, and brave splendid man!" Xu Xiangbei said seriously.
"Yes, Mr. Xu is really a very good person, he wouldn’t have any agenda regarding us. If Ling Er, you really want to be a star, you should agree to Mr. Xu. Rest assured, he will definitely take good care of you!" Xiao Qiulian quickly added.
Xu Xiangbei’s heart was laughing out loud, finally someone justifying him, not easy, not easy!
"Mom, why do you always speak for him, forgot your daughter when you have a man, some people know the face but not the heart!"
Xiao Ailing originally wanted to say Xu Xiangbei was looking at her with a different gaze, but seeing her mother’s expression, she opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Xiao Qiulian was somewhat embarrassed by her daughter’s words, only she knew there was no relation at all with Xu Xiangbei, she wanted to explain to her daughter later, now it was hard to say.
"What does your mom have worth scheming for?" Xu Xiangbei said with a mischievous smile.
"Me!" Xiao Ailing said unwillingly, puffing out her small chest blushing red.
"Haha! I say, Xiao Ai, you really think highly of yourself. Look, you have no chest, no butt, no figure, no face. Look at yourself compared to my future wife, Gu Xinyan.
Look at yourself, in what aspect do you compare? I leave such a beautiful wife at home, why would I want you, a budding flower, am I sick?"
Xu Xiangbei thought Xiao Ailing was quite nice, and was tempted by some small thoughts, but would never do anything inappropriate. At most, just some harmless flirtation, his eyes can’t see less.
"Yes, some people are just sick! Like sometimes online, there are people with pedophilia problems, maybe some people just want old bull eating young grass?" Xiao Ailing seemed to have thought of something, more convinced.
"Yes, definitely like that!" She seemed not hit by Xu Xiangbei’s comments, but rather was happy, thinking she seemed to have seen through Xu Xiangbei’s schemes.
"Some just want to play hard-to-get, right?" Xiao Ailing thought she was not worse than Gu Xin, the only lack might be age, causing her figure not to fully develop.
Xu Xiangbei was almost at a loss for words, thinking this Xiao Ailing’s imagination was too rich.
Even pedophilia came out, still wanting old bull eat young grass, is wanting to do a good thing quietly that hard?
