Chapter 101: YoonA, it's better if I use it!! (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

At noon, sunlight shone through the window into the room, and the air was filled with the quiet and warmth of the afternoon.

Lin Xiuyuan and Park Jiyeon were sitting side by side on the sofa in the Living Room, the atmosphere relaxed.

A somewhat happy Park Jiyeon took a throw pillow, tucked it into her arms, and watched quietly with a faint smile at Lin Xiuyuan, who was beside her, talking eloquently while introducing his business philosophy to her.

"Oppa, it seems like from the time we met until now, we haven't sat down and chatted properly like this."

"

Lin Xiuyuan's voice paused, and he looked at this Xiaozhiyan with a mix of amusement and helplessness, "I'm talking business with you, and you're here flirting with me, aren't you?"

"I'm just speaking from the heart."

After muttering a word, Park Jiyeon thought of something, got up and ran to the Kitchen, and brought back a cup of black tea for Lin Xiuyuan, "Hee hee, oppa, drink some tea."

Looking at those facial features that were indeed much more youthful than Dalongzai's, Lin Xiuyuan also smiled, then picked up the teacup and took a light sip, "Do you still remember what I just told you?"

"I remember."

Park Jiyeon, who had sat back down cross-legged, answered very seriously, "Oppa, you said that in 2025, the spicy hot pot industry has already become the new favorite of young people in Seoul, and you wanted me to use this model as a reference."

"Do you know what spicy hot pot is?"

Hearing that Park Jiyeon had not ignored his conversation, Lin Xiuyuan then continued to ask.

Park Jiyeon's delicate eyebrows arched slightly; she clearly didn't know much about this "spicy hot pot"—after all, in 2013, she and Tara hadn't even ventured into China yet—so she shook her head quite simply.

"I've heard of it, it's a bit like boiled vegetables, right?"

"Something like that."

Lin Xiuyuan, who seemed to have anticipated her reaction, nodded slightly, "Actually, in my view, the core of spicy hot pot isn't in the flavor or the seasonings, but in its 'DIY' nature."

"DIY?" Park Jiyeon was a bit confused.

"That's right, that's it. It allows customers to freely choose their ingredients according to their own tastes, which both satisfies individual needs and allows them to enjoy a rich sensory experience."

As he spoke, Lin Xiuyuan took out his 16Pro, opened TikTok, searched for a video, and placed it in front of Xiaozhiyan.

"Look, as young people grow tired of traditional dining formats, this kind of fast food that encompasses convenience, personalization, and unique flavors will inevitably have an increasingly large market."

"This point has already been verified over in Huaxia, there's no problem at all, and it's priced for the people, too."

However, while he was saying these things, Park Jiyeon had a look of confusion on her face;

she could understand some of it, but not much.

It wasn't until Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking that she said softly, "Oppa, I don't really understand this, but if you think it can be invested in, then I'll discuss it with the company when I go back, and I'll tell the unnies too."

Park Jiyeon didn't believe in the future trend; she believed in Lin Xiuyuan.

As for why she had such profound trust after only knowing him for this short time.

It was very simple; Lin Xiuyuan had even shared The Gate with her, so what else could there be that wasn't worth trusting?

And Park Jiyeon's trust also made Lin Xiuyuan feel a bit moved, and he laughed, "Zhiyan, aren't you afraid of losing everything and going bankrupt?"

"I'm not afraid. If that really happens, I'll just go find the old woman for money and use her money to fill the big hole for both of us."

This sentence of hers really amused Lin Xiuyuan, "Zhiyan, you still have such a big grudge; Dalongzai didn't know she would misjudge someone either."

Facing this sentence from Lin Xiuyuan, Park Jiyeon gave him an answer he completely hadn't imagined.

"Oppa, you're starting to speak up for her."

One sentence left Lin Xiuyuan stunned on the spot.

At the same time, in the computer room on the second floor.

Lin Xiaolu, who was watching as she suddenly pulled herself into an embrace, glanced at the news of 'her own' death on the computer,

and smiled slightly, "Unnie, this isn't me, Hela unnie and Zhongxuan oppa are still alive too."

"Mm, fortunately, you are all still here."

Lin Xiaolu, who quickly adjusted her emotions, let go of Sulli; only the slight bloodshot traces in her eyes indicated that her emotions were not stable.

Because before seeing this news of death, she had already finished reading about Jessica leaving the group, the changes in Kim Taeyeon's family, and the fragmentation of the group.

Now that she had finished reading those 'collapsed' death reports, she began to browse through the first relationship YoonA had made public.

Looking at that so-called "Nation's Little Brother," staring at the shocking incidents regarding the other party listed on the webpage, she slowly scrolled the website to the very bottom.

Finally, she frowned slightly and said softly, "He has indeed been pursuing me recently."

"Hm?"

Sulli was a bit surprised on the side, "So early? I thought you and the others only started contact at the end of the year or next year?"

"The other party hasn't played their hand openly yet, they are just contacting me through text messages, but anyone with eyes can see why they would put effort into contacting me."

Although Lin Xiaolu was young, she was already 23 years old; after so many years of struggling and grinding, what kind of people hadn't she encountered?

As for those little schemes of Li Shengji, she saw through them at a glance.

It was just that the group had been on tour recently and didn't have time, so the two of them hadn't had much offline contact. But if not for this 'future journey,' Lin Xiaolu deduced her own situation and thought she might have really accepted the other party.

After all, the Li Shengji of 2013 had quite good popularity and reputation, and he had taken care of her many times on shows in previous years, and there had been CP hype as well.

Besides that, the other party also held quite a lot of connections and resources in his hands.

After comparing a few times, Lin Xiaolu felt that if she hadn't learned these things now, she probably really wouldn't have been able to refuse.

"Then unnie, you now—"

"Of course I'm refusing now. The choice of making this public before now looks like a complete black mark, and the kind that would only get bigger."

After finishing this news article, Lin Xiaolu flipped through a few more, and her expression became increasingly disgusted.

Finally, upon seeing the big incident involving the other party's wife, she closed the webpage in total speechlessness, and then silently digested this information.

Just at this moment, a faint sound by her ear drew Lin Xiaolu's gaze over.

She saw Sulli looking at her phone, tapping away with amusement, seemingly in the middle of posting something.

So she asked curiously, "Sulli, what are you doing?"

Sulli, who was asked, raised her eyes to look at her, then placed the phone, which was in landscape mode, in front of her, letting Lin Xiaolu see herself wearing a dress on the screen.

Then, Xueli's laughter came through, "Unnie, I'm watching YoonA Unnie's birthday party livestream, and then you are sitting right next to me, hahaha, just thinking about it gives me such a strange feeling."

At this moment, Lin Xiaolu gazed at herself on the screen, and the inspiration she had just received from Park Jiyeon downstairs suddenly burst forth.

So she took the phone and asked, "Xueli, can I post comments with this account of yours?"

"Sure, Unnie, what do you want to say?"

Xueli, not thinking too much, nodded, assuming that the Xiaolu Unnie beside her was just a bit curious about the livestream process.

As it turned out, Lin Xiaolu let out two cold, snorting laughs, "Heh heh, don't worry, I'm definitely going to say something nice to her."

?

2 minutes later.

Lin Yun'er, who was in a room somewhere in Seoul, working hard at livestreaming for her fans, suddenly saw a devilish comment float across the screen.

【Your face is swollen, your eye bags are heavy, and you've gained weight too. Most importantly, you're another year older. Tsk tsk, I think the name 'Yun-little' is better used by me; there's no need to respect the elderly or cherish the young anymore!!!】
