The Chinese Elf's Family Rescue Adventure

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Teacher Sui Sui, Thank You So Much!



In the entertainment industry, there's an unshakable truth—once there's traffic, capital will swarm in like sharks smelling blood!

Sure enough, in just half an hour, Jian Lin's phone was ringing off the hook. Five or six advertisers were scrambling to cooperate with her. Even the two advertisers who had previously placed cheap patch advertisements came to sound her out, asking if the price would go up.

Jian Lin wasn't the sort of person who only cared about immediate gains. She knew very well that reputation had to be maintained and long-term cooperation was crucial. So, she rejected those micro-businesses that offered high prices but looked unreliable and might blow up at any time. Instead, she picked two well-known, high-reputation brands and asked the business team to get ready to negotiate details with them.

For the two advertisers who had provided timely support when it mattered, Jian Lin remained as amiable as ever, assuring them that the price would definitely not go up.

Well, just like that, the huge pressure weighing on Jian Lin's heart vanished in an instant. She was so elated that she could hardly contain herself, walking with a swagger, and almost wanted to rush to those usually sarcastic leaders and slap the advertising contracts in their faces, shouting, "I'm the big moneybags now! Hurry up and pay up!"

The rest of the team was also overjoyed, chattering away excitedly:

"Gosh, although the advertisers require that there be no further public opinion crises, the advertising fees they're offering are really high!"

"Not only are the advertising fees high, but the liquidated damages are sky-high, three times! I hope nothing goes wrong later!"

"Shush, don't jinx it! Didn't Director Jian say there's a solution? Relax!"

"Hehe, I wonder if Director Jian will give us bonuses?"

"Sure she will. Director Jian has always been generous!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

All of a sudden, flattery was flying towards Jian Lin like it was free. She instantly became the center of attention, shining brightly!

As for Assistant Director Qian Hui, in the face of Jian Lin's absolute authority, he couldn't even make a ripple. He could only force a smile, come up with an excuse, and slink away in disgrace.

Looking at Qian Hui's sorry state, Jian Lin was extremely pleased with herself, like a triumphant general, exuding the aura of a victor.

"Director Jian, when are you going to carry out the next step of the plan? Tomorrow okay? I'm afraid it'll be less effective if we wait too long. You know, the golden 24 hours for crisis public relations." The casual question from the head of the publicity team was like a pin, instantly deflating Jian Lin's inflated ego.

But Jian Lin was used to big 场面,and her face showed no sign of panic. She was very calm.

"Soon. It'll be finalized soon. The earliest is tomorrow, the latest the day after tomorrow!" Jian Lin spoke with such certainty, even specifying the exact time, that it was impossible for anyone to doubt her.

The head of the publicity team didn't think any more about it. "I need to take a call." Jian Lin grabbed her phone and found an excuse to slip away.

When she got to a secluded place, she let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "Scared the crap out of me. Almost blew my cover."

"Ah!" Jian Lin, who had been deep in thought, almost jumped out of her skin. She turned around and saw Xia Kai popping up like a ghost. She raised her hand, pretending to hit him, and hissed, "What are you yelling about!"

Xia Kai snorted. "I know you too well."

Jian Lin quickly composed herself and put on an innocent face. "Don't slander me. I'm innocent!"

Xia Kai tried hard not to roll his eyes. He and Jian Lin had been friends for years, and he knew all her tricks.

Jian Lin was too lazy to beat around the bush with him and simply 摊开 her hands and confessed, "What else could I do? Let everyone panic and not be able to work?"

Xia Kai naturally understood this. "Isn't there any other way?"

"Actually, there is a plan. I just haven't had time to implement it yet."

"Then hurry up!" Xia Kai was so anxious that he was stomping his feet, like an ant on a hot pan. Compared to him, Jian Lin was as calm as could be.

"Why the rush? Some things can't be rushed."

Xia Kai let out a heavy sigh. "I'm worried about Wen Chi. He..." As he spoke, his face grew solemn and a tinge of sadness was visible.

"Right! Wen Chi!" Jian Lin's attention, which had been flying all over the place, was yanked back.

"Xia Kai, is your Wen Chi crazy? He just went to confess to the police, thinking he'd committed a crime?"

Xia Kai didn't notice Jian Lin's strange expression at all and continued solemnly on his own, "Yes, Wen Chi is just so honest and kind. When I first met him, I knew he was different from those demonized rumors outside. He's a breath of fresh air in our circle. It's a pity he..." Xia Kai almost choked up.

But when he looked up and saw Jian Lin not only lacking sympathy but actually seeming to enjoy the show, Xia Kai's anger flared up. He accused loudly, "Wen Chi is going to be arrested! Why don't you have any sympathy? You heartless woman!"

"Hold your horses." Jian Lin raised her hand amusedly to stop him. "Find out the situation first. Who's going to be arrested?"

Xia Kai finally realized something was wrong. "Wh-what do you mean?"

"It means Wen Chi won't be in any trouble and won't be arrested!"

"Ah... huh?" Xia Kai was completely dumbfounded.

Jian Lin burst out laughing and raised her eyebrows mockingly. "I told you to read more books in college. Look, you don't even have basic legal knowledge. Wen Chi is nineteen. Are you also nineteen? An ignoramus!"

In the past, Xia Kai would definitely have argued with Jian Lin until he won. But today, for the first time, he was happy that Jian Lin was giving him a hard time.

"Really? Wen Chi is really okay?"

"Yes."

"Can you guarantee it?"

"I..." Jian Lin clenched her fist, then relaxed it and sneered, "Why don't you go ask the police officer?"

Xia Kai thought Jian Lin was right and immediately planned to go into the room to find Tan Yong. Coincidentally, Tan Yong and the two experts were still there, studying something. Jian Lin thought about it and followed.

The two of them entered the room one after the other and were immediately stunned by the sight—

The two experts, old enough to be Sui Sui's grandfathers, were squatting down to be at eye level with Sui Sui, holding her hands and shaking them up and down:

"Thank you so much! I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Yes, we never expected the Baishan Spring Orchid could be saved. You're amazing, little one!"

"What little one? There's no age limit for learning. The one who knows more is the teacher! We should call you Teacher Sui Sui!"

"Right. Teacher Sui Sui, do you plan to become a botanist in the future? This talent can't be wasted!"

"Exactly. If you're willing when you grow up, come to the provincial research institute to find me. I'll write you a recommendation letter for your PhD!"

"Forget it. At your age, by the time Teacher Sui Sui grows up, you'll be six feet under! Teacher Sui Sui should come to me first!"

"You're only two years younger than me. What are you so proud of?"

Before long, the two experts had gone from praising Sui Sui one after the other to arguing over who would get Sui Sui...

Everyone, including Tan Yong and the police, was dumbfounded. And not a single person dared to say a word!

At the critical moment, it was up to Sui Sui: "Okay! Stop arguing! Be good!"

Just like a kindergarten teacher, Sui Sui's shout immediately silenced the two "old kids" and made them behave...
