Chapter 256: Important person for Ling Qingyu
"As soon as I heard the news, I cleared up the misunderstanding." Ling Qingyu continued. "Some people always using their status to bully others should now have a clear mind. Fortunately, I have to thank my cheap sister, for having a stronger psychological tolerance and the measure wasn't too late."
Fan Xi almost gasped, hearing Ling Qingyu's words. She understood what was going on. Someone powerful had intervened and now the answer was before her.
In fact, Fan Xi sympathized with Ling Yunxiang's experience but she rarely helped others, not because she was selfish but because she was already having troubles, treading carefully for self-preservation.
Not mentioning Ling Yunxiang's background wasn't simple with Ling family standing behind. Perhaps, ordinary fans might not be aware; artists like her knew the information.
A party who could suppress Ling Yunxiang, regardless of her background, must be stronger, which meant Fan Xi's support meant nothing but a pebble in a pond.
What amazed her was that Ling Qingyu easily solved Ling Yunxiang's difficulties within a short period of time. Her mind couldn't fathom Ling Qingyu's strength.
Of course, Ling Qingyu subtly said this with intention. One, to show her strength and overwhelm Fan Xi's mindset; and two, to facilitate her next plan.
Fan Xi wasn't stupid to think, Ling Qingyu spoke without having any plans and waited for her to continue. A woman, who suppressed everyone at the venue during the auction, was never a simple character.
Every gesture, every word and every tone from Ling Qingyu had deep meanings. And exactly what she thought, Ling Qingyu's next words confirmed her conjecture.
"So, Miss Fan doesn't need to put her mind too much, regarding my sister. It is fate for us to meet." Ling Qingyu said. "I wonder if I can ask for help from you. After all, I'm usually busy with work and don't have time to control my sister."
"Of course, Miss Ling. It's not wrong for me to say I owe her a lot." Fan Xi replied.
"I'm glad Ms. Fan sees this way but you don't have to burden yourself with favors. Even without our intervention, I'm sure, a strong woman will remain strong no matter the dire circumstances." Ling Qingyu said with a smile.
"You praise me too much, Ms. Ling. What can I help your sister with?" Fan Xi said.
Ling Qingyu leaned a little forward. "There's one thing the public has gotten correct regarding my sister. She's too inexperienced and her skills are still inferior as an artist, particularly in acting. I hope Miss Fan can give guidance."
"I'm happy to interact more with my junior." Fan Xi looked at Ling Yunxiang, who fiddled her hands, gently.
Ling Qingyu had a weird idea flashing through her mind. Why Fan Xi acted like an old lady though she was merely in her mid-thirties? Please, mid-thirties meant still young.
"I'm grateful, you agree, Ms. Fan." Ling Qingyu said.
"Why call me Ms. Fan, how about calling me Elder Sister Fan or Sister Xi? The rest of the girls too, please. I'm sure we'll be meeting each other very often." Fan Xi said with a glint in her eyes.
Drawing in a relationship closer, especially with a person like Ling Qingyu worked in her favor. In order to avoid showing her edge too much, she invited everyone.
"Sister Xi, I'll be disrespectful."
"Sister Xi, I believe others will be envious of us."
Even without Ling Qingyu, every girl already expressed their stance. Ling Qingyu's mouth twitched. Her hands were tied with their presence, so annoying.
Indeed, old gingers were spicy. Fan Xi immediately made close ties with everyone, without being too obvious. Yang Qingyue was included.
There was no way Fan Xi didn't know Yang Qingyue's identity based on the commotions, dealing with the fat guy who had bad ideas about Ling Qingyu. Either she pretended or she really forgot.
The latter was more possible since Yang Qingyue's appearance was very short. Put her among many beautiful women, her distinct features might be blurred.
"Sister Xi, if you have any similar events or unfair treatment toward you, you can come to me." Yang Qingyue patted her chest. "I'm the current Police Chief of City N. Even if you're outside my jurisdiction area, I can provide some guidance too."
"Oh, our Sister has such an identity. I'm disrespectful, forgive me for not noticing." Fan Xi stood up and bowed. She really didn't know whether to lament her luck, receiving so many big shots in this meeting with her 'fans'.
"Why is Sister Xi doing this? It's also my duty to enforce law and justice." Yang Qingyue stepped forward and prevented Fan Xi. She didn't want an elder generation to bow before her, especially when the person didn't make any mistakes.
Ling Qingyu narrowed her eyes as she realized Fan Xi didn't recognize Yang Qingyue. Well, Fan Xi wasn't as calculative as she thought.
"Can I call you Sister Ling?" Fan Xi asked.
"Of course, why not? I guess from today onwards many of your fans will be envious of us." Ling Qingyu replied. "Speaking of, if I may know, what are your plans after leaving the company?"
"Well, I have nothing to do at the moment. You know being moved around by others and suddenly having nothing to do, the feeling is strange." Fan Xi said.
Ling Qingyu understood her mood. It appeared since young, Fan Xi's every movement had been under the control of others. Even if a person became mature, the feeling from the youth, which Fan Xi was used to for a long time, suddenly disappeared and caused her to be confused for a while.
Certainly, after a while, Fan Xi could recollect herself and come up with her goal.
"I understand you. If you need help, you can ask the sisters around. Believe me, your fans here aren't simple." Ling Qingyu said with a joke. "Besides, if you are going to teach my sister, how about coming to my home?"
Ling Qingyu struck while the iron was hot.

Fan Xi was hesitant and gave a polite refusal. "Wouldn't my appearance be ruining your house and disturbing your family's rest?"
Ling Qingyu pressed hard. "Please, you think too much. Look at them, controlling their excitement. I'm sure interaction with their beloved goddess closely will make them happy. An advice though, be prepared to get your hands tired from signing autographs."
Fan Xi chuckled but still remained cautious. People from wealthy circles like Ling Qingyu had to be treated carefully. Her experience and intuition told her to wait a while before making a decision. Without expressing too much refusal, she dragged the time.
"I'll come in when I have time. Please don't refuse me by the doorsteps by then." Fan Xi said.
"I'll be honored." Ling Qingyu replied with a nod. She knew this actress just used dragging tactics but wasn't she the same?
Fan Xi currently desired freedom and Ling Qingyu comprehended her state of mind. Her original plan to take Fan Xi under her wing seemed impossible.
Nonetheless, Ling Qingyu had never stopped thinking of setting up a new media entertainment group under her control. If Fan Xi worked for her, everything from personnel, connections, and reputation would be easily solved.
Too bad, her idea went down the drain. However, Ling Qingyu decided to try in another manner. Fan Xi was an important chess piece, too indispensable for Ling Qingyu to let go.
Perhaps, she thought.
